Douluo: Wuhun Seven Killing Sword, Sword Opens the Gate of Heaven

Chapter 276: Shura in the Dream, Obtaining the Sixth Soul Ring

Later that day, the condition of the old patriarch of the Hong family improved significantly. As mouthfuls of black, sticky blood spit out from his mouth, 80% of the black water python's venom had been eliminated.

The rest can be cured by taking ordinary antidotes.

Hong Kui was not idle either. He invited several healing soul masters overnight to treat the old man's injuries.

Because of Ning Tianchen's repeated refusals and the old patriarch's improved condition, no banquet was held that night.

Ning Tianchen sat on the bed in the side room and cultivated his soul power.

His soul power level has recently broken through level 60. The soul power he is cultivating now will not disappear. After obtaining the soul ring, it will be fed back to the soul master.

Fengwu City is several days' walk from the Tiandou Empire.

Therefore, he decided to get a carriage from the Hong family first, and then enter the Star Dou Great Forest to hunt souls.

Soon, there was a noise outside the door.

"Hey, are you asleep?"

Hearing the voice, Ning Tianchen knew the identity of the person.

"Ms. Hong is visiting you late at night. What can I do for you?"

A single man and a single woman being in a room together late at night was bound to attract gossip, so Ning Tianchen did not open the door.

Hong Xinyue seemed to understand that this was inappropriate, so she stood at the door and said, "I want to kill that shit master, can you help me?"

"You can't afford the reward." Ning Tianchen ignored him.

With Hong Xinyue's strength, she is capable of killing Pang Shun, so there is no need for him to take action.

Hong Xinyue seemed to have expected this, so she asked, "Do you have any suggestions?"

"Be clean and neat, don't give anyone any handle!" Ning Tianchen said.

After he finished speaking, there was silence outside the door. It was obvious that Hong Xinyue was serious this time.

Hong Kui did not stop him. It seemed that Peng Shun had made a very rude request on the carriage before, which made both father and daughter want to kill him. Especially, Peng Shun had not cured the old master yet, so there was no reason to keep him.

As an outsider, Ning Tianchen couldn't ask too much about the Hong family's affairs.

He sat on the bed and entered a meditative state.

After an unknown amount of time, he fell into a deep sleep.

In his dream, he returned to the City of Slaughter again, back to the time he met the King of Slaughter.

What was different from the reality was that in the dream, a blood-red sword emerged from the body of the King of Slaughter, and a Shura totem emerged behind him.

"You are here." The King of Killing spoke slowly.

The voice that spoke was not the voice of the King of Slaughter in his memory, but a strange and murderous voice.

"Your Excellency Shura God?" Ning Tianchen asked tentatively.

The other party did not give a direct answer: "Huh, it seems that you know me very well. But that's good, it saves me from a lengthy self-introduction."

Ning Tianchen said respectfully: "This doesn't seem to be the real world. I wonder why Lord Shura is looking for me?"

God Shura gave a gentle push, and the blood-colored Shura Demon Sword was pushed in front of Ning Tianchen. "You have completed the test of the City of Slaughter. I will always pay attention to your performance in the future. Haha, work hard, young man, I may be proud of you."

As he spoke, the Shura Demon Sword "stabbed" towards Ning Tianchen's forehead.

Ning Tianchen dodged instinctively, but the Shura Demon Sword seemed to have no harm. Instead, it transformed into a beam of divine power in front of his brow, leaving a mark there.

……

After an unknown amount of time, Ning Tianchen woke up on the floor of the room.

It was already daybreak outside, and the door of the room was banging in the wind.

He rubbed his brows, "How could I fall asleep, and how could I have such a dream!"

To be honest, the position of Shura God is most suitable for him. The Shura Demon Sword and the Seven Killing Swords have similar functions, both of which can absorb murderous aura.

If he could inherit the position, even if the Asura God did not teach him how to use the Asura Demon Sword, the swordsmanship he had mastered would be enough to unleash the power of the Asura Demon Sword.

But, things in dreams cannot be reflected in reality.

Ning Tianchen sat up, somewhat confused as to why he was lying on the ground.

As he was leaving for breakfast, he noticed that the door was not closed.

"Could it be that the eldest lady of the Hong family came to see me during the trip?"

Without thinking any more, he walked out of the room.

"Guest, you are awake. The host has prepared breakfast for you. Please follow me." The farmhand said respectfully.

Ning Tianchen asked: "Has anyone come to my room?"

The farmhand shook his head. "My dear, I was guarding your room at three o'clock in the morning and heard the sound of the door. The master of the house ordered that no one should disturb you, so I didn't close the door for you. However, from three o'clock in the morning until now, I didn't find anyone entering your room."

Ning Tianchen nodded.

I just thought that the door was not closed tightly and a strong wind blew it open at night.

On the way to the main house of the Hong family, Hong Xinyue came running breathlessly.

"Erfu, you go over first. I have something to discuss with him." Hong Xinyue pointed at Ning Tianchen and said.

The farmhand dared not disobey the order and quickly retreated.

"Let me guess, you didn't kill the other person, and you got yourself into trouble." Ning Tianchen asked with a smile.

Hong Xinyue cursed, "That guy was very slippery, and there was a Soul King guarding him. My people and I didn't succeed."

As she spoke, she suddenly felt something strange. "Hey, why do you look so different today? Where is the bitter face you had yesterday?"

Ning Tianchen also felt that the murderous aura in his body seemed to have disappeared overnight. His temperament seemed to have returned to the state before he entered the Slaughter City.

Hong Xinyue then joked, "Oh, you still have the energy to put on makeup today? But, wouldn't it be a bit creepy to draw such a scary mark on your forehead?"

"Mark?" Ning Tianchen was startled and quickly took out the bronze mirror from the soul guide.

In the mirror, there was a blood-red Shura mark between his eyebrows. He rubbed it, but couldn't erase it, so he was sure that this was not someone's prank.

"You wait for me."

Having said that, he quickly ran back to the room and closed the door tightly.

The murderous aura disappeared, but the God of Killing's domain was still there, along with the Shura mark on his head!

Even if he fell asleep in a meditative state, he would not roll to the door of the room, which was nearly ten meters away.

Taking all these factors into consideration, last night's dream didn't seem to be a coincidence, but might very well be reality.

With this in mind, he used his mental power to try to communicate with the mark on his forehead.

The next moment, the Shura Demon Sword appeared in front of him.

There was no aura fluctuation or divine power on the Shura Demon Sword. It was just like an ordinary sword with exquisite workmanship.

Unlike ordinary swords, the Shura Demon Sword still has great power at this moment.

After feeling it for a long time, Ning Tianchen did not feel any divine test information in his mind.

Calming down, he began to analyze.

First of all, the mark on the forehead and the Shura Demon Sword are not fake.

Just being able to turn the weapon into particles and store them in the mark between the eyebrows is not something that ordinary people can do.

Since the cultivation of the divine mark was real, he felt that it was only because the divine test had not been opened that there was no reaction. Moreover, since he had not completed any divine test, he had no Shura divine power in his body, so he naturally could not activate the Shura Demon Sword.

Such speculation seems to form a closed loop.

"Does it mean that I need to complete some kind of training or reach a special place before I can start the Shura Divine Test?"

In the dream, Shura God had said that he had completed the test of the Slaughter City. So, the first thing to do is to eliminate the Slaughter City.

He couldn't think of any results in a short period of time.

Of course, it is possible that he is too weak to complete any test. Perhaps when his strength reaches a certain level, the divine test will come automatically.

You know, Tang Chen participated in the Shura God Exam at level 99. And he has just broken through level 60.

……

After a night of treatment, the head of the Hong family was able to get out of bed normally.

At this moment, he and Hong Kui expressed their gratitude to Ning Tianchen together.

"Mr. Hong was able to get through this difficult time safely, which shows that he has excellent physical fitness. I just did my little bit of work."

The old man bowed and said, "My friend, you are too modest. I am Hong Tianxiang. If you don't mind, you can just call me Old Hong."

Ning Tianchen was not arrogant, and said with a bow: "Mr. Hong's complexion has recovered a lot, so I am relieved. However, I need a carriage that can drive into the extremely cold areas."

The Hong family's business already includes the horse business. Finding a carriage like this is not too easy.

Hong Tianxiang felt that this was not enough to repay Ning Tianchen's kindness. At the same time, the toxins in his body had not been completely eliminated, and Ning Tianchen still needed to provide medicine regularly.

If the other party leaves, the toxins in the body will relapse again, which will be a big problem. "Yesterday, I saw that you broke through level 60. How about my Hong family help you hunt for the sixth soul ring?"

Ning Tianchen's sixth soul ring must be no less than 30,000 years old. According to his assumption, the sixth soul ring is about 45,000 years old, so he can try to absorb a 100,000-year soul ring when it is the seventh soul ring.

After thinking about it, he did not reject the other party's proposal.

"Thank you, Master Hong. However, the spirit ring I need is a bit old. How strong is Master Hong?"

Hong Tianxiang smiled and said, "I am level 78, that's enough to help you."

It was obviously quite difficult for a level 78 to face a 45,000-year-old soul beast. Moreover, the opponent's body had not fully recovered. If he rashly went to hunt souls, he would be guilty of a great sin if he died in the forest.

While eating, both sides asked each other some irrelevant questions.

After the meal, Hong Tianxiang called Ning Tianchen to the inner room and asked, "Young friend, do you want to go to the Far North for training?"

Originally, Ning Tianchen planned to use the extreme cold of the north to stabilize his emotions. Last night, he unexpectedly saw the God of Shura in his dream, and his negative emotions were completely eliminated.

However, he did not plan to change his schedule. Training in the Far North was also a good choice.

"Yes, the environment in the Far North is suitable for me to improve my strength."

Hong Tianxiang was not surprised, but talked about Hong Xinyue, "My granddaughter has an innate soul power of level eight and a half. If she is trained in the future, she will have a chance to break through the Titled Douluo. I wonder where you come from, between us..."

Ning Tianchen could tell that the other party wanted to establish a relationship with the power behind him through marriage.

He quickly refused, "Sorry, Mr. Hong, the boy is already engaged."

Hong Tianxiang said "oh" and didn't dwell on this issue too much.

The Hong family saw the changes in the situation on the mainland most clearly. How many horses could the army use in daily training? How could they not know?

The army has long been increasing the number of horses, undoubtedly in preparation for war.

If the Hong family wants to maintain their wealth, they must definitely cling to a powerful force.

Everything must be done step by step. Hong Tianxiang is not in a hurry. As long as Ning Tianchen is still in the mansion, he can mention this matter at any time.

……

For the next five days, Ning Tianchen spent his time prescribing medicine for Hong Tianxiang and cultivating his soul power at home.

As time went by, the aftereffects of Hong Xinyue's failure to handle things well gradually became apparent.

After all, Peng Shun is a healing soul master, and many combat soul masters owe him favors.

Under his call, many people began to target the Hong family, but when they saw that the head of the Hong family had recovered and returned from retirement, these people temporarily behaved themselves.

During these few days, Hong Tianxiang's appetite increased dramatically, his complexion recovered at a speed almost visible to the naked eye, and his haggard body gradually returned to normal.

On this day, seeing that the time was ripe, Hong Tianxiang once again proposed to help Ning Tianchen hunt souls.

This time, Ning Tianchen did not refuse.

Leaving Hong Kui to look after the house, Hong Tianxiang took ten elite members of the family and set off towards the Xingdou Great Forest.

"Hehe, I'm here too." When the carriage started, Hong Xinyue got on it.

Hong Tianxiang also loves this extremely talented granddaughter very much.

"The inherited martial spirit of our family is the Long Cloud Stick. Xinyue's martial spirit is special, it is the Ice Soul Long Cloud Stick. This time, if we can't find a suitable spirit ring for her in the Star Dou Great Forest, I'm afraid we will have to go to the Far North."

"That's just on the way." Ning Tianchen replied.

The soul beasts in the Far North are almost all ice-attributed soul beasts, and there are many soul beasts suitable for Hong Xinyue.

Hong Xinyue blinked and asked, "Tianchen, are you really only sixteen years old? A sixteen-year-old Soul Emperor is even more powerful than the Haotian Douluo back then."

The Haotian Sect originally supported the Xingluo Imperial Family, so they had a good reputation in the Xingluo Empire. Many soul masters took the geniuses of the Haotian Sect as their role models.

"It's just a chance." Ning Tianchen waved his hand and said modestly.

Without the magic grass and the Yin-Yang Eyes of Ice and Fire, he could only barely break through to the Soul King level at best.

"Grandpa helps you hunt souls, so you help me hunt souls too. It's just a matter of reciprocity." Hong Xinyue said with a smile.

Everyone has a desire to admire the strong, not to mention that Ning Tianchen is the same age as her.

Ning Tianchen did not refuse. He had to go to the Far North for training anyway, and helping others hunt souls was also part of the training.

An hour later, the carriage drove into the soul beast town on the outskirts of the Star Dou Great Forest.

After replenishing enough supplies, a group of thirteen people entered the forest.

Hong Tianxiang asked: "Friend Tianchen, what type of soul beast do you need, and how old? I have been in the Xingdou Great Forest for a long time, so I think I know something."

"Soul beasts above the sub-dragon age are around 40,000 years old."

“Sub-dragon species are easy to find, 40,000 years. Wait, you are only at the Soul Emperor level, why do you need a 40,000-year soul ring?” Hong Tianxiang was dumbfounded.

The age of a normal Soul Emperor's sixth soul ring is no more than 20,000 years. 40,000 years is too high to be used as a seventh soul ring.

Ning Tianchen said nothing more and revealed his spirit ring.

Five soul rings of yellow, purple and black shone under his feet.

"You are Ning Tianchen!" Hong Xinyue exclaimed.

Apart from Ning Tianchen, who else on the continent possesses such a spirit ring configuration!

Hong Tianxiang smiled bitterly and said, "I didn't expect that you are the grandson of Jian Dao Chen Xin. Please say hello to Senior Jian Douluo on my behalf."

"Thirty years ago, I was just an ordinary spirit master. Fortunately, I received guidance from Senior Sword Douluo, which enabled me to achieve my current strength. In this sense, I can be considered half of your disciple."

This relationship is climbing.
However, the truth of this matter can be known with just a little inquiry, and Hong Tianxiang has no reason to lie.

Meeting someone close to the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect would make the rest of the process much easier.

"Grandpa also mentioned that he had instructed someone in the past, but I didn't expect it to be such a coincidence."

"You are Ning Tianchen." Hong Xinyue turned into a little fan girl, followed behind Ning Tianchen, and kept begging him to share his experience in the Soul Master Competition.

The so-called acquaintances make things easier.

Under the leadership of Hong Tianxiang, the group quickly went deep into the Star Forest.

Three days later, he pointed to the valley ahead and said, "My friend, ahead is the territory of a 40,000-year-old Earth Armor Thorn Dragon. I'm afraid it would be a bit difficult for me to deal with it alone. Do you think you can use your domain to help me?"

Ning Tianchen said: "I will fight with the old man, don't worry, nothing will happen."

Hong Tianxiang did not refuse.

He had heard about Ning Tianchen's performance in the Soul Master Competition. What such a talented and powerful person needs most is to practice with strong people. This soul hunting is also a good opportunity.

At the command, the eight Soul Kings dispersed nearby to stop other Soul Beasts that came after hearing the news. The remaining two Soul Kings protected Hong Xinyue.

The battle is about to break out.

With the long cloud stick in hand, Hong Tianxiang rushed forward.

Ning Tianchen followed closely behind, holding the dragon-patterned Seven Killing Sword.

The Ground Thorn Dragon felt threatened, and sharp spikes popped out from its back, staring at the attacker fiercely.

The Ground Thorn Dragon is a soul beast that mutated from a hedgehog, and the spikes on its body are extremely sharp.

The sixth soul skill of the Seven Killing Swords is based on the sixth soul skill of Jian Dao Chen Xin - Ten Thousand Swords Return to the Origin. The Earth Armor Thorn Dragon is very suitable as his sixth soul ring.

"Killing God Realm, open!"

A bone-chilling murderous aura spread out, covering the entire area with a thick layer of frost.

The Ground Thorn Dragon sensed the murderous aura and instinctively curled up into a ball.

Hong Tianxiang's long cloud stick hit his back but had no effect.

"What a strong domain! My strength has increased by 10%." Hong Tianxiang was shocked. But at this moment, he couldn't ask Ning Tianchen about the situation of the domain.

The long cloud stick danced in his hand and kept hitting the ground-armored dragon.

Ning Tianchen, who was standing aside, felt a slight flutter in his heart.

The source is the Shura mark between the eyebrows.

"Could it be possible to use the Shura Demon Sword in the Killing God Realm?"

The Earth Armor Dragon's defense may not be broken by the Dragon Pattern Seven Kill Sword, but the Shura Demon Sword, which is a super artifact, can definitely break it.

Ning Tianchen was not in a hurry to take action.

A 40,000-year-old soul beast could kill him with just one encounter. He had to wait until Hong Tianxiang had exhausted the other party's state before he had a chance to intervene in the battle.

……

In the distance, Hong Xinyue, who was watching the battle, murmured softly, "Is this a domain? The teacher at the academy said that soul masters with domains are rare geniuses."

Most Titled Douluo do not have domains, which shows how rare domains are.

With her talent, compared to a peerless genius like Ning Tianchen, she couldn't even see his back.

Hong Xinyue silently made up her mind that after the soul hunting was over, she would practice hard and try to narrow the gap between herself and Ning Tianchen.
