Chapter 255: The Sudden Appearance of the Asura God, Su Yun and Tang San Head to the City of Slaughter
The seventh Seagod trial, while simple in concept, was to pull out the Seagod Trident.
Tang San had tried twice and failed both times.
He was almost seriously injured in the process.
The reason was simple: the Seagod Trident was too heavy.
A full 108,000 jin!
Relying solely on his own strength, he was absolutely unable to pull it out.
Currently, Tang San lacked the external soul bone of the Eight Spider Lances, as well as the body-strengthening effects of the celestial herbs and the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well. Although he had the support of Mysterious Heaven Skill, he was not a strength-type soul master. Moreover, he was only at the Soul Sage level, making it extremely difficult to pull out the Seagod Trident.
The most crucial point was that the Grand Priestess Bo Saixi had told him that the key to pulling out the Seagod Trident was obtaining the recognition of the Seagod's Heart.
But up to now, Tang San had not gained the recognition of the Seagod's Heart.
"Could it be because Su Yun tampered with the Seagod's Heart?" Tang San frowned slightly.
He knew that this treasure had been seized from the Heaven Dou royal family by Su Yun under coercion.
Later, Su Yun used the Seagod's Heart to exchange for an item to evolve his Blue Silver Emperor.
While Tang San could use the Seagod's Heart, he had never truly gained its recognition.
He always felt a thin barrier blocking his connection with the Seagod's Heart, preventing success.
"One more try! If it doesn't work, I'll have to risk everything to pull out the Seagod Trident." Tang San gritted his teeth and sent his thoughts into the Seagod's Heart.
In the next moment, he entered the vast light blue space again, his entire body seemingly soaked in seawater.
"As expected, there is still a barrier." Tang San tried to use his spiritual power to break through the barrier but to no avail.
As he was about to seek Bo Saixi's advice on any possible solutions, he suddenly noticed a figure appearing before him.
"That is…"
"Su Yun!"
Seeing the person, Tang San was first startled and then recognized that the Su Yun before him was not his actual body, but a spiritual remnant.
"It seems my inability to gain the recognition of the Seagod's Heart is due to your interference." Tang San could sense a connection between this Su Yun and the surrounding environment. "Su Yun, you indeed have ill intentions. To stop me from becoming a god, you intentionally left this safeguard in the Seagod's Heart."
"Since you dare to appear, I'll show you how strong I've become today!"
Boom!
Facing Su Yun's spiritual remnant, Tang San showed no mercy and attacked decisively!
In this spiritual space, only spiritual attacks could be used.
Tang San was confident in the special training he had undergone on Seagod Island and his cultivation of the Purple Demon Eye. With the abundant resources he had access to, his Purple Demon Eye had reached a vast realm!
Although Seagod Island couldn't provide Tang San with external soul bones, it did have other soul bones.
Combined with the gifts from the Clear Sky Clan and the Heaven Dou royal family, Tang San was now not lacking in soul bones.
Although the quality and synergy were not perfect, they were better than nothing.
"Swoosh!"
Tang San's spiritual attack transformed into a purple extreme light blade, slashing toward Su Yun's phantom. The blade was fierce, as if it could cut Su Yun into two with one strike.
However, to Tang San's shock, Su Yun casually waved his hand, releasing a light blue blade that shattered Tang San's attack instantly.
"Damn it!"
"This guy is just a spiritual remnant, why is he so strong!"
As Tang San grew frustrated, Su Yun, with an expressionless face, attacked again. In the next second, hundreds of spiritual blades rained down like a storm!
Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh!
Instantly, they enveloped all of Tang San's escape routes.
No escape!
"What?!" Tang San's pupils contracted, his eyes filled with shock!
Such an immense spiritual power, even outside, he rarely used so much at once.
And here, Su Yun's remnant could unleash such terrifying spiritual power!
Why?!
While Tang San was in shock, he immediately used his defenses, but within a few breaths, his defenses were shattered.
Countless spiritual blades pierced his spiritual body, destroying it!
"Ugh!"
Outside, Tang San, who was originally meditating, suddenly turned pale and spat out a mouthful of blood, looking miserable.
At that moment, Bo Saixi came to see Tang San. Seeing his state, she was startled and quickly asked what happened.
After resting for a while and recuperating, Tang San explained everything he had just experienced to Bo Saixi.
Bo Saixi's face darkened slightly as she said, "This is not a good sign."
"It seems that when the Seagod's Heart recognized Su Yun initially, it imprinted Su Yun's spiritual will as a guardian."
"Now, you must defeat that spiritual will to truly gain the recognition of the Seagod's Heart."
"But as you just witnessed, the remnant of Su Yun's will has merged with the Seagod's Heart, raising its power to an extremely terrifying level."
"Trying to defeat him in a normal state is almost impossible for you."
Tang San was shocked upon hearing this: "What should I do now?"
Without the recognition of the Seagod's Heart, he would never be able to pull out the Seagod Trident with his current strength.
"I have a solution."
"What?"
Just as Tang San was puzzled, a voice suddenly rang in his mind.
In the next moment, he found himself stepping into a blood-red domain.
"Who are you?" Tang San noticed his consciousness was forcibly drawn into a space and saw a phantom figure before him, making him wary.
He floated in mid-air, with the sky above covered in a blood-red hue.
The ground below was cracked and littered with countless bones and corpses.
Here, there was only desolation and killing intent.
"Hehe, boy, you've accepted my inheritance, yet you don't know who I am?" The phantom figure smiled.
"You are… the Asura God?" Tang San was astonished. He didn't expect the Asura God, who hadn't issued his divine trials, to appear at this moment.
Since starting the Seagod Nine Trials, Tang San had been waiting for the Asura God's trials to appear, but they never did. He had to proceed with the Seagod trials instead.
"Indeed, it is I." The Asura God nodded, then scrutinized Tang San. "I didn't expect that the previous recipient of my inheritance was your grandfather, and now my inheritor is again from the Tang family."
Tang San bowed respectfully: "Thank you for recognizing me and passing on the Asura God inheritance."
However, he got straight to the point: "What did you mean by saying you have a solution?"
"It's simple." The Asura God waved his finger and said, "You can start with my Asura trials to enhance your strength and power."
"Given that you've passed the Seagod's Sixth Trial, even though you are only at the Soul Sage level, your strength surpasses that of an average Soul Douluo."
"Passing the first six Asura trials should not be difficult."
"Once you return to pull out the Seagod Trident, even some Title Douluo whose attributes are countered by you will struggle to withstand you."
Tang San's eyes lit up. This was indeed a good plan.
"Where will I undergo your Asura trials?" Tang San asked.
The Asura God smiled: "Naturally, in the City of Slaughter."
Tang San nodded slightly. That place indeed belonged to the domain of the Asura God of Slaughter.
However, he suddenly looked up at the Asura God and asked, "Why did you appear now to guide me? Is there something you want me to do?"
The Asura God narrowed his eyes and examined Tang San for a moment before slowly saying, "You are quite a perceptive kid."
"Hehe," Tang San laughed, "I think no matter how talented I am, it wouldn't warrant you personally descending to guide me, right?"
Tang San had heard from Grand Priest Bo Saixi about the restrictions on deities.
Gods are not allowed to leave the divine realm without permission.
Therefore, the sudden appearance of the Asura God must have a reason.
"There are two reasons. First, your unique fate allows you to accept the dual inheritances of me and the Seagod, making you a worthy candidate for me to risk descending to guide."
"Second, recently I sensed a peculiar divine power from that Rakshasa woman, and according to the information from the Rakshasa God, it belongs to Su Yun, a disciple of your lower realm's Spirit Hall Pope."
"He possesses the power to control time."
Time divine power?!
Tang San's pupils contracted sharply.
His mind quickly replayed his previous encounters with Su Yun.
Scenes flashed through Tang San's mind, and he immediately understood how Su Yun had defeated him back then!
Su Yun had actually obtained the inheritance of the God of Time?!
Time and space were the most mysterious and terrifying forces in this world.
Whoever could master one of them could truly dominate the world.
And between time and space, time was undoubtedly the more formidable!
"So, what do you mean, senior?" Tang San cautiously asked the Asura God.
"I want to see just how strong this kid is," the Asura God said calmly.
Tang San frowned, "You want me to find Su Yun?"
"Exactly."
The Asura God nodded, "Once you pass my Asura Six Trials or even Seven Trials, your body will be able to withstand a portion of my power."
"Then, I will borrow your body to confront him and see just how strong his time god power really is." The Asura God's tone became noticeably excited.
As the God of Slaughter, he naturally pursued battle just as the God of War did.
However, his ultimate goal was 'slaughter,' while the God of War's was 'battle.'
Tang San hesitated.
The Asura God noticed and chuckled, "Are you afraid?"
Tang San shook his head, "It's not that I'm afraid. I'm worried that Su Yun, being cunning, might set an ambush with the Spirit Hall after our fight."
"You've been in the divine realm for a long time, so you might not be aware of the current situation down here."
Tang San briefly explained the situation in the lower realm to the Asura God, who quickly understood.
Then he sighed, "I never expected that your great-grandfather, the previous inheritor of my Asura God inheritance, was killed by the current guardian of the Angel God."
The Asura God laughed, "Who would have thought that the Spirit Hall, which worships the Angel God, would have a Pope who possesses the qualification for the Rakshasa God inheritance? It's quite amusing."
"What?!"
Tang San was puzzled by the Asura God's words, "Senior, what do you mean by that?"
The Asura God looked at Tang San in confusion, "You don't know? The current inheritor of the Rakshasa God is the Pope of the Spirit Hall, the woman named Bibi Dong."
This news instantly enraged Tang San.
Why?
Because his great-grandfather had been secretly killed by the Rakshasa God!
He naturally held a grudge against Bibi Dong for this!
"Su Yun, Bibi Dong, Spirit Hall, we have old and new scores to settle!" Tang San's eyes turned extremely cold.
"Senior, I agree to your request."
"Good! I like your attitude."
"Once this matter is settled, I'll be waiting for you in the divine realm."
"Just don't get killed by Su Yun before you reach the divine realm." With that, the Asura God slowly vanished, and Tang San returned to the real world.
"Tang San, what happened just now?" Bo Saixi asked urgently upon seeing Tang San regain his senses.
When Tang San was drawn into the consciousness space by the Asura God, his real-world body instantly lost consciousness.
Tang San quickly explained his encounter and agreement with the Asura God to Bo Saixi.
Bo Saixi's eyes lit up, "With the Asura God personally protecting you, you can definitely proceed with this plan."
For a god to risk violating the rules to personally descend, it showed how highly the Asura God regarded Tang San.
Tang San nodded, "In that case, I will immediately head to the City of Slaughter."
"Good." Bo Saixi quickly assembled a team to secretly escort Tang San out of Seagod Island.
...
Meanwhile.
After stabilizing his Title Douluo realm, Su Yun proposed an idea to Bibi Dong: to head to the City of Slaughter.
The City of Slaughter no longer had the presence of the Slaughter King. Both Bibi Dong and Qian Daoliu were well aware of this.
They had sensed that the familiar aura from Tang Chen had vanished.
Since Tang Chen was dead, there was no Slaughter King in the City of Slaughter at present.
Su Yun's goal in going to the City of Slaughter was not just for control but to seize it for himself.
In the original story, Tang San destroyed the City of Slaughter.
But now, with the City of Slaughter being unclaimed, Su Yun naturally wanted to take it under his control.
After all, the City of Slaughter was a place of no return for others.
But for someone like him, who had the Domain of the God of Slaughter, he could enter and exit freely.
The treasures within the City of Slaughter were not fewer than those in the Star Dou Forest or the ocean.
Successfully taking control of the City of Slaughter meant gaining control over the Domain of the God of Slaughter.
Moreover, using the City of Slaughter to mass-produce death warriors with the Domain of the God of Slaughter would be feasible.
This was also a way to enhance the Spirit Empire's strength.
