Chapter 598 The second step is to give up the martial soul!
Eighteen soul rings have been completely integrated into Xu Xingyu's body, bringing an unprecedented increase in strength. But this is only the beginning of the Dragon God's inheritance. The next step - giving up the martial soul is the real test of his perseverance and endurance.
Ability challenges.
The inheritance space is still a peaceful void, but the atmosphere is becoming more and more solemn, as if the rules of heaven and earth are preparing for the upcoming changes. Xu Xingyu stood there, clenching his fists, watching the two martial spirits suspended around him—
—Ziweixing Martial Spirit and Dragon God Martial Spirit.
"Abandon the martial spirit..."
When these words emerged from his mind, the impact they brought was no less than when he gave up his soul ring before.
In Douluo Continent, martial arts is everyone's innate talent, and it can almost be said to be a part of life.
In those worlds where martial arts do not exist, human beings rely more on their own bodies for cultivation, integrating the energy of heaven and earth into their flesh, flesh, and bones, and improving their strength through constant exercise and enlightenment.
Humans like the Five Elements Continent and the Holy Demon Continent use this method to practice. Although it lacks a lot of convenience, many skills and insights will make practice boring, but on the contrary, it will also give people in that world a better way to practice.
Good foundation.
As long as they are willing to work hard and persevere in the future, they will be able to achieve their own path sooner or later.
However, the people of Douluo Continent are uniquely endowed in the early stages of cultivation due to the existence of martial arts.
The assistance of soul rings and soul skills is like a complete "system" that allows people to quickly master combat abilities.
However, it is easy for people to rely too much on this kind of convenience, thus neglecting their understanding of the laws and avenues.
Losing your martial soul on Douluo Continent not only means that you cannot practice, but also means that you will lose another self.
But as the Taoist meaning flowing in the inheritance space reveals, a strong person who truly stands at the pinnacle of cultivation does not need to rely on external things.
Their power and understanding of laws have long been integrated into themselves, integrating with heaven and earth.
A person does not need another self. It was because his father, Dragon God, had divided his consciousness that the Zi Huang Tian Slayer Dragon took advantage of it, leading to the tragedy of the dragon clan.
It was obvious that Dragon God arranged this step to prevent Xu Xingyu from repeating the mistakes he had made in the past.
"Ziweixing Martial Spirit, Dragon God Martial Spirit..." Xu Xingyu muttered to himself, his eyes complex and firm.
He recalled every detail of his growth, from the initial awakening of the Ziweixing martial spirit to the fusion of the Dragon God's bloodline and the acquisition of the Dragon God's martial spirit. These two martial spirits were not only symbols of his strength, but also companions who accompanied him along the way.
Now we have to abandon them, which is undoubtedly a huge test.
At this moment, the last remaining will of the Dragon God appeared again. The vague figure stood in the void, with relief and expectation in his eyes.
"My child, let go of your obsession. The martial spirit is a foreign object. Its purpose is to guide you into the door of practice, but it will eventually become your shackles. If you want to transcend my regrets and go further, you
You have to let them become a part of you."
The Dragon God's voice was low and firm, carrying the majesty of the great road. Xu Xingyu took a deep breath and his eyes became more determined.
"Since this is a necessary step for inheritance, then I will definitely do it!"
He closed his eyes and allowed his body to be enveloped by the power of the inherited space. The Ziweixing Martial Spirit and the Dragon God Martial Spirit suddenly trembled and turned into two groups of bright lights. The Ziweixing Martial Spirit turned into a purple-gold star, like a vast galaxy.
It pours down, and the Dragon God's martial spirit emits nine-colored light, like the brilliance of the first opening of heaven and earth, carrying unparalleled pressure.
Two rays of light circled around Xu Xingyu's body, as if struggling, yet revealing a submissive will.
"Come on! Integrate into my flesh and blood and become a part of me!" **Xu Xingyu shouted, his mind completely open, and he actively welcomed the integration of the martial spirit.
However, giving up the martial soul is not as simple as imagined. At the moment when the Ziweixing martial soul and the Dragon God martial soul began to break, an indescribable severe pain suddenly struck. The pain seemed to penetrate deep into the bone marrow, and even directly acted on the soul.
Deep inside, Xu Xingyu's body trembled involuntarily.
"ah--!"
He couldn't help but let out a low roar, veins popped up on his forehead, and cold sweat poured down like rain.
It was not only physical pain, but also a sense of mental tearing.
The martial soul has long been closely related to his soul, and now it was forcibly stripped away, just like cutting out a part of his body, making him feel pain like never before.
Under this extreme torture, Xu Xingyu gritted his teeth and his eyes remained firm. He knew that this step was crucial and must be successful, otherwise not only would he not be able to complete the Dragon God inheritance, he might even lose all his cultivation and become a complete useless person.
"Hold on! What's this little pain? I haven't experienced enough pain!"
Xu Xingyu kept encouraging himself in his heart, recalling the difficult journey along the way. From the surprise when he awakened his martial soul as a child, to experiencing countless life and death battles, from being an ordinary soul master to climbing to the top step by step, there is no step on this road that is not perfect.
Easy.
He forced himself to calm down and began to concentrate on sensing the changes around him.
After the Ziweixing martial spirit was broken, it turned into a pure star power and slowly integrated into his flesh and soul. He could feel that his meridians, bones, and muscles were all being transformed by this star power.
, became more tenacious and powerful, and the consciousness deep in his soul was also transformed by the stars.
After the Dragon God's martial spirit was shattered, it turned into nine-colored rays of light.
During this process, his body seemed to become lighter and lighter, as if a layer of shackles had been taken off, and the fluctuations of his spiritual consciousness became stronger than ever before.
"This...this feeling!"
Xu Xingyu was shocked. He clearly felt that his spiritual consciousness began to rise, directly breaking through the level of the Supreme God King. This level of spiritual consciousness was enough to rival any top powerhouse in the God Realm, and more importantly, he was against
The understanding of various elemental laws is also rapidly increasing.
"It turns out that martial arts are not only the carrier of power, but also hide the understanding of laws and avenues."
Xu Xingyu suddenly realized that giving up the martial soul was not simply stripping away, but completely transforming the insights accumulated in the martial soul into his own power.
Because of this, his spiritual consciousness can make such a leap, and these insights will become the cornerstone for him to break through to higher realms.
The first step of giving up the soul ring is to allow his body to become the supreme divine body, while the second step to give up the martial soul is to allow him to achieve the supreme divine consciousness.
As the last ray of light integrated into his body, Xu Xingyu suddenly opened his eyes, his eyes like lightning.
He felt that his soul and body had been completely integrated into one, and there was no longer any shackles from external objects.
"Step two, completed!"
Xu Xingyu murmured in a low voice, with a hint of joy in his tone, but it was more of an expectation for the future. He knew that this was only the second step in the inheritance of the Dragon God, and there would be more difficult challenges waiting for him next.
Although his body was still a little tired, he did not stop. Instead, he raised his head and looked into the depths of the inheritance space with a firm gaze.
"What's the third step? Come on!"
His voice echoed in the space, and the void in front gradually cracked, and a deeper light emerged, indicating that the next step of inheritance was coming.
