Qianren Xue was incredulous, how could Ye Yu be so strong, Soul Emperor level, instantly defeating a Soul Douluo, this was far more terrifying than she had imagined.
She had originally thought Ye Yu's talent surpassed hers by far, but when it came to real action, they should be evenly matched, after all, Ye Yu was only sixteen, while she was already thirty. Yet, the gap turned out to be this vast.
Before knowing Ye Yu, she thought she was the greatest genius the continent had ever seen, even surpassing Tang Hao, breaking the record Tang Hao had set, and becoming the youngest Titled Douluo. But now comparing to Ye Yu, it's like heaven and earth.
After her initial shock, Qianren Xue sighed in lament: "Born as snow, why born as feather."
After instantly defeating the Six-winged Fallen Angels, Ye Yu shocked the Tang Long and Tang Hu brothers, instantly defeating the brothers' Dark Body.
Seeing that Ye Yu was already a Soul Emperor, and possessed three Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Rings, three Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Rings, the two brothers were utterly astonished, feeling their eyes were playing tricks.
The two brothers were incredibly shocked; when they first met, they could still compete with Ye Yu for about ten minutes, but now, they couldn't last even a second.
The Dark Body perished completely, and the resounding voice of the Blood God echoed.
"Congratulations on passing the Blood God Trial, rewards are granted based on contribution."
Tang Long and Tang Hu were surprised to find their Soul Power Level had increased by two levels, now they were Soul Saints. Qianren Xue's level was increased by three, reaching level seventy-five.
Ye Yu did not see a Soul Power increase prompt, but was granted entry to the Blood God Hall.
Ye Yu walked towards the great hall, the rear doors opened as he stepped inside.
Qianren Xue's mood was somewhat heavy and complicated, heavy because Ye Yu was about to obtain a divine artifact, and surely become even more terrifying. Complicated because without Ye Yu, she might never be able to leave.
Qianren Xue could imagine that the divine artifact must be extremely powerful, its challenge being a testament to that, but since it belonged to Ye Yu, she would not try to snatch it. Even if she tried, she couldn't succeed.
Ye Yu entered the Blood God Hall, where a gigantic blood-colored statue stood resolute. The statue was imposing and regal, its divine majesty striking, anyone else would be compelled to worship and revere it, even a Titled Douluo. But as Ye Yu was the Child of Apocalypse, possessing the Origin of Evil, he felt no compulsion to revere.
In the statue's hand was a black giant sword. The hilt and blade were both black, appearing as one.
The sword was five feet long, one foot wide, the blade unsharpened, though it was a giant sword, it seemed more like a massive ruler.
"As I thought, you indeed passed, truly worthy of the Origin of Evil. Now, you are the new master of this Unbeatable."
The Blood God Statue vanished, Ye Yu stepped forward to catch the descending Unbeatable.
However, Ye Yu's expression subtly altered, as soon as he grasped the sword hilt, his hand sank, causing his entire body to slightly bend.
"So heavy."
Ye Yu was astonished internally, how heavy could it be?
Ye Yu grasped Unbeatable, the sword vibrated, seemingly resonating with Ye Yu, and gradually, the vibrations ceased, making the Unbeatable feel light in his grip.
Ye Yu now knew that Unbeatable recognized him as its master, he received Unbeatable's information in his mind.
Unbeatable ranked second on the Cosmic Divine Artifact Rankings. Its weight is determined by one's own power; now at level sixty-seven, Unbeatable weighs sixty-seven thousand pounds, several times heavier than the Trident of the Sea God. Moreover, as strength increases, it becomes heavier. Once recognized as master, it feels as though it weighs only sixty-odd pounds, but when wielded against others, it's sixty-seven thousand pounds.
Of course, as the second ranked cosmic divine artifact, Unbeatable cannot be compared to the Trident of the Sea God; it isn't even qualified for comparison. Therefore, Unbeatable's terror lies not in its weight, but its augmentation on oneself.
Unbeatable's abilities unlock every thirty levels, and now at level sixty-seven, Ye Yu has unlocked the first two divine skills.
First Divine Skill, strength doubled, permanently.
That is to say, Ye Yu's current strength is already doubled, rendering him undefeated beneath the level of Titled Douluo. Furthermore, it remains permanent; even upon becoming a Titled Douluo or God, it's still doubled. Such is the terror of the first divine skill, one can only imagine the subsequent skills' power.
Second Divine Skill, Invincible Domain.
The second divine skill grants oneself a domain.
Now, Ye Yu effectively has three domains. The Slaying God Domain, and the Apocalypse Black Dragon's inherent talent domain, the Realm of Apocalypse, plus this Invincible Domain.
Invincible Domain, upon release, increases life energy, defense, and self-healing power by five hundred percent, permanently.
This is a truly terrifying domain; with increased life energy, one becomes more resilient. Self-healing power means injuries heal quickly, in all aspects.
For instance, a normal person's hand injury might take over ten days to fully heal and scars fade, but self-healing accelerates healing.
Invincible Domain ensures that even when at a disadvantage, one remains undefeated, others unable to beat or kill.
Ye Yu values strong life energy most; like in a previous life's anime, One Piece. In it, Kaido, known as the strongest creature on land, sea, and air, strongest in single combat, precisely because of his powerful life energy.
Strongest in single combat doesn't mean he can defeat Whitebeard, but even in battle with Whitebeard, he wouldn't be defeated, because of his powerful life energy. Initially, he could be at a disadvantage, but through attrition, he could exhaust anyone to death. This is the power of life energy, known as Undying Kaido, all due to terrifying life energy.
Therefore, with this second divine skill, Ye Yu is indeed satisfied.
Now, Ye Yu is certain he is the unrivaled beneath the level of Titled Douluo!
"Truly deserving of being the second cosmic divine artifact, truly terrifying, greatly enhancing my strength to a higher level, curious what the third divine skill will be."
Ye Yu eagerly anticipated unlocking the third divine skill at level ninety.
Ye Yu slung Unbeatable over his back, exiting the Blood God Hall.
The Blood God Statue vanished, the entire space was collapsing.
Seeing Ye Yu emerge, Tang Long and Tang Hu gazed at the black giant sword on Ye Yu's back; though entirely black and seemingly unremarkable, its ancient and timeless aura inspired reverence.
Tang Long curiously asked: "Ye Yu, how is this weapon? It must be very strong, right?"
Ye Yu nodded: "Indeed, its strength matches the difficulty of the trial."
Ye Yu understated, given it's the second cosmic divine artifact, it will be even more terrifying.
The Blood God Hall collapsed, revealing a circular void.
Ye Yu said: "That's the exit, let's leave."
The four of them dashed out; with a change of scene, they appeared outside.
Simultaneously, the Divine Sect crumbled, this secret realm ceased to exist.
Tang Long held Zhao Long's body, gently sighed: "I will take you to your hometown for burial."
After half a year together, they became like brothers.
Tang Long and Tang Hu expressed gratitude: "Ye Yu, without you, we wouldn't have gotten out, we would have died, thank you, we will remember this kindness."
Qianren Xue also expressed thanks: "Thank you."
Without Ye Yu, she indeed wouldn't have gotten out; although she didn't receive the secret realm's most powerful reward, gaining three levels was already quite good.
