His all-out attack was so easily defeated by the opponent's Raising Fire to the Sky, and the only change to the opponent's body was that his knees had sunk into the ground. That enormous pit was the result of the trident and longsword colliding with the explosive energy, and at the same time it was also the result of Tang San and the Slaughter King neutralizing the opponent's energy attack.
In just one collision, Tang San was thoroughly defeated, even to the extent that the Seagod Trident was sent flying. Ever since he started cultivating spirit power in his youth, Tang San had never experienced such a crushing defeat. Even back then when Xiao Wu sacrificed herself to save him, she was besieged by many. But the Slaughter King in front of him was only one person, and moreover still defeated his divine weapon.
Tang San couldn't understand how the Slaughter King, who had previously been completely within his calculations, could actually become so powerful after being enveloped by the Seagod's Light, so powerful that he was basically unable to contend against him.
Not only was his spirit power formidable, there was also that sword in his hand. Because Tang San believed that even Seagod Douluo Bo Saixi wouldn't be able to resist his all out attack so easily. And the Slaughter King in front of him wasn't the slightest bit inferior to Bo Saixi, and moreover, that sword in his hand also didn't seem inferior to his Seagod Trident. That's why he lost so miserably.
However, even though he was seriously injured, Tang San still had a feeling that the opponent clearly could have given him an even stronger attack, but towards the end, the Slaughter King seemed to have held back, not letting the sharpest energy of his sword cut into his body. Otherwise, he might already be beheaded.
Tang San, who had always calculated every detail in a battle, right now his mind was in chaos. He could endure the physical pain, but that feeling of defeat from the bottom of his heart, as well as the feeling of being unable to resist, made him feel extreme pain. He had never had such a feeling. Even if he met a powerful opponent, he would still be completely confident in finding a way to deal with them. But, the Slaughter King's sudden explosive increase in strength, as well as the situation before him, made him feel despair.
There was no point in regretting. Tang San discovered that the only thought in his mind was how to protect Xiao Wu after he was killed. Perhaps there was a way to help Xiao Wu complete the process of resurrection in the Wishful Hundred Treasures Pouch while he was being killed. After all, his true strength had long since reached the realm of Titled Douluo.
Just as Tang San's thoughts were in chaos, the Slaughter King's voice echoed, "This is the Seagod's power, why is the Seagod Trident in your hands? Do you know Bi Saixi? "
His voice was very different from before. It was no longer sharp and sinister, and had become old and heavy. It did not sound like a middle-aged man's voice at all, but more like a dignified elder's.
En? Tang San was after all an intelligent person. Even though he had suffered a huge blow, hearing the change in the Slaughter King's voice, hope reignited in his originally despairing heart. Releasing his spirit power, he pushed his body free from the surrounding earth and rocks. Because of the injuries caused when he stepped into the pit, he once again spat out a mouthful of blood. But he still immediately straightened his back. He would never forget his father's teachings no matter what.
The Slaughter King really was different from before. Even though he was still glowing with a bloody luster, his eyes had become especially clear, gazing deeply at Tang San. His eyes revealed pondering and some complex emotions. It felt like he had just woken up from a dream.
"You also know senior Bi Saixi?" Tang San asked with a doubtful expression. He had no intention of running. The person in front of him was not the slightest bit weaker than Bi Saixi, and that heavy sword in his hand was a powerful weapon that Bi Saixi didn't have. Even the Vast Sea Barrier's invisibility couldn't escape from him.
Deep sorrow flashed through the Slaughter King's eyes, "How many years has it been? Even I don't know how many years have passed. Is she well?"
Tang San said indifferently: "I don't know if I should say she's well or not. Just who are you?"
"Who am I? Who am I? Hahahahaha … … "The Slaughter King suddenly looked up at the sky and laughed heartily. But amidst the laughter, his expression was one of extreme pain, and two streams of bloody tears flowed from the corners of his eyes.
"Did I win? Or did I lose? Everything no longer has any meaning to me. Am I wrong? Am I right? Dozens of years are like a dream, and I've fallen into such a sin. Asura, what a good Asura. In the end, I still couldn't pass your test. This isn't about right or wrong, perhaps it's time and luck. "
Berserk energy fluctuations made everything tremble in the surroundings. The heavy sword in the Slaughter King's hand also constantly overflowed with bloody light.
Tang San stood there, calmly looking at him. He vaguely understood that the Slaughter King in front of him was very different from the completely bloody Slaughter King from before. It seemed that the current him was the original him. But what had actually happened to him was something he couldn't guess.
After a long time, the Slaughter King's mood gradually calmed down. The bloody tears stopped flowing, and his gaze once again became focused.
"Seeing you hold the Seagod Trident, and also possess the ability of the Seagod's Light, you should be the Seagod's chosen one."
Tang San didn't have anything to hide, and nodded.
The Slaughter King said indifferently: "Unfortunately, you still aren't the true Seagod. Otherwise, the one defeated just now would have been me. Man becoming god, this difficult step, I've taken it for dozens of years, but still haven't been able to completely cross it, and I'll never be able to. Youngster, thank you. "
"Thank me?" Tang San looked somewhat uncomprehendingly at the Slaughter King.
The Slaughter King said indifferently: "If it wasn't for your Seagod's Light, my nature also wouldn't have awakened. I would have always lost myself in that evil blood, controlled by evil thoughts. It was your Seagod's Light that let me struggle free from that cage, moreover achieving this half god body. Even though it's all already too late. Still, being able to feel god level power, my life's long cherished wish can be considered half fulfilled. "
While speaking, the red light in his hand vanished. That heavy sword had already turned into threads of blood colour that merged into his palm, gradually disappearing.
"Aren't you very curious why there were such enormous changes before and after? It was you who rescued me from that prison. Telling you isn't a big deal. In some sense, we're actually the same kind of people. "The Slaughter King said indifferently. Right now his mood seemed to have completely calmed down.
"Senior, please speak." Tang San asked equally calmly.
The Slaughter King said: "The reason I say we're the same kind of people is because we're both people chosen by god. It's just that the god who chose us is different. The one who chose you is the Seagod, the god of the sea. But the one who chose me is the god of evil thoughts. It can be called the god of slaughter, and its true name is the god of Asura."
"Back then, because of a promise, I put all my heart and soul into breaking through to god. But, to become god is far, far too difficult. Only the power of faith accumulated over thousands of years can help a peak power's fleshly body become a god. To me, thousands of years really is too long. Who can be certain how long I can live? I seize every minute. Therefore, I chose another path, to search for a divine position to inherit. "
"In this world, there are a lot of gods, but only true primary gods can leave behind their divine sense aura when they transcend this world, in order to search for their inheritors. Like the Seagod who chose you, and the Radiant God of Martial Soul Palace are both this type. How difficult is it to find the divine sense left behind by a god? Even when I believed myself to be all-knowing at that time, it was still very difficult to find the slightest clue. Only when I entered Slaughter City did I finally find the aura of a god. That was the Asura God. "
"There are actually two gods of evil thoughts in this world. One is the Asura God in charge of slaughter, and the other is the Rakshasa God in charge of evil thoughts. Depraved City is the ruins they left behind when they transcended this world. The Asura God and the Rakshasa God don't exist as a pair, on the contrary they are eternal enemies. The Asura God controls the purest slaughter energy, and the Rakshasa God controls the most evil power. Only by restricting each other can they not cause chaos in the world. At that time, I thought I found the Asura God's divine position, and was immediately greatly excited. The Asura God also approved of my strength and ability, and granted me the Asura God's trial. The first few trials were very easy to pass. After all, at that time I had already reached the peak of human Soul Master strength. I still remember how excited I was at that time. Becoming a god was a promise I made to a person. Only by completing this promise could I have the authority to search for her, and also finally be together with her. However, in the following trials, I gradually lost myself. When I faced the Nine-Headed Blood Red Bat King, my heart was already corroded by evil thoughts. The evil thoughts were stripped from my body, and my true heart was completely sealed. Thus, my body became the Nine-Headed Blood Red Bat King's parasite, and I became the King of Massacre that you saw. "
"Only when I woke up just now did I understand that what I accepted at that time wasn't purely the Asura God's trial. In that trial, the Rakshasa God's presence was mixed in. Clearly, when the Rakshasa God transcended this world, in order to not let her successor encounter the Asura God's obstruction, she deliberately welcomed the Asura God's divine sense. She also changed Slaughter City's original form. This was originally a world of slaughter, but it became a place of depravity and evil. The Asura God's divine sense was constantly corroded, contaminated with countless impurities. It was also because of this that I was disturbed by the Rakshasa God's divine sense, unable to complete the Asura God's trial, and even completely sunk into the evil thoughts, becoming the parasite of the Blood Red Nine Headed Bat King. "
"For so many years, the Blood Red Nine Headed Bat King constantly corroded my body, wanting to truly invade my body and absorb all my energy. But my conscience was still there, and I was constantly fighting against it, vying for control of my body. Until just now, drawing on the power of your Seagod's Light, I finally broke through the barrier, using the Seagod's Light's divine light aura to dissolve all the evil thoughts the Rakshasa God left in the Asura God's divine sense, thus passing the Asura God's eighth trial and obtaining the Sacred Asura Sword's approval. Unfortunately, all of this is already too late … … "
At this moment, Tang San suddenly spoke up, "Senior, the person you made a promise to, was it senior Seagod Douluo Bi Saixi?"
The Slaughter King had originally been immersed in the pain he'd experienced these past few years, and now hearing Tang San's question he couldn't help staring blankly, "How do you know? Don't tell me she told you about this? "
The riddle in his heart suddenly became clear. San didn't directly answer the Slaughter King's question, but rather raised his left hand, "Look."
Black light surged. In order to not arouse the Slaughter King's vigilance, Tang San deliberately slowed the speed at which his spirit power condensed. Black light like threads gradually formed in his left hand, and the Haotian Hammer inscribed with the Deathgod Domain's magic lines was tightly grasped in his palm.
The Slaughter King's gaze froze. Looking at the Haotian Hammer in Tang San's left hand, the bloody light around him fluctuated violently, making Tang San involuntarily retreat several steps before steadying himself.
"You … … you are … … Haotian … … Sect's … … disciple … … You … … Whose … … child are you?" The Slaughter King's voice trembled, tears of blood constantly overflowing from his black eyes, making his face look somewhat fierce.
Tang San said respectfully: "My father is Tang Hao. Senior, you … …"
"Tang Hao, so you're Hao 'er's son. It really has been so many years, even Hao 'er's son has already grown so big. Good, you're very good, very good … … child, I'm called Tang Chen. "
While speaking, black light surged in his hand, and an incomparably enormous heavy hammer completely covered in dark golden magic lines appeared in Tang Chen's hand. Even though that hammer's shape was already vastly different from Tang San's Haotian Hammer, that genuine Haotian Hammer's aura couldn't be faked. It was the Haotian Sect's inherited exceptional spirit, and moreover the peak form of exceptional spirit.
Seeing that genuine Haotian Hammer, Tang San no longer hesitated, kneeling with a thump and kowtowing, choking with sobs: "Great grandfather." Right now his mood had also become extremely excited. He had never expected that Slaughter City's Slaughter King would actually be his great grandfather.
The original despair and pain in his heart were now completely gone, the doubts in his heart suddenly cleared up. Yes! His great grandfather equally possessed a true divine tool, and his cultivation was even far above his own. What disgrace was losing to his great grandfather? Inadvertently being able to help his great grandfather regain consciousness made Tang San wild with joy. If he could have his great grandfather lead the army at this time when he most lacked power, not only would the Haotian Sect reappear on the Continent be no problem, the Soul Master of the two great empires would also have a leader. Who in the world could compare to his great grandfather's prestige? As the former sect master of the world's number one sect, rank ninety nine demigod Douluo, what formidable strength was that?
"Get up, quickly get up. Good child, let great grandfather have a good look at you. " Tang Chen wanted to step forward to support Tang San, but as the bloody light around him reached Tang San, his eyes flashed with deep sorrow. He only held out his hands to support him, but didn't touch him.
Because Tang San's head was lowered, he didn't see the change in Tang Chen's eyes.
"Great grandfather, you have to uphold justice for my father!" Tang San kowtowed again.
Tang Chen said in astonishment: "Get up first, your father? What happened to Hao 'er? He's the one most likely to inherit my mantle. Don't tell me he's not the Haotian Sect sect master right now? I've been trapped in Slaughter City for decades, I don't know anything about what happened in the outside world. Vaguely, I seem to have sensed your father's aura appear at my side. Tell me in detail what happened. "
Tang San understood that Tang Chen should have sensed his father's aura when his father passed through Slaughter City's Hell Road and obtained the Deathgod Domain. Unfortunately, grandfather and grandson were unable to recognize each other.
He immediately recounted in detail the circumstances of the Haotian Sect over the years. His father and mother's love for each other, Martial Soul Palace's persecution, the sect's expulsion, the sect's closure, as well as the Haotian Sect's seclusion, leaving nothing out.
Tang Chen was Tang San's great grandfather, the Tang Gate sect master two generations ago. His strength was even above Seagod Douluo Bo Saixi, and now he'd even inherited a portion of the Asura God's divine power. He wasn't the same as Tang San. With the support of ninety ninth rank spirit power, he was perhaps the number one Soul Master in the world. With this great grandfather's support, Tang San firmly believed that whether it was the Haotian Sect or the present world's general situation, it wouldn't be as difficult as it was for him to face them again.
Hearing Tang San's words, Tang Chen's expression grew more and more unsightly. Each time his expression changed, the air seemed to solidify and shatter, emitting sonorous sounds.
"Good, what a good Martial Soul Palace, what a good Qian Daoliu. Your grandfather is an idiot. Is enduring the solution the only way?" Bloody light surged, fluctuating chaotically. Tang San could faintly see blood veins constantly flashing under his great grandfather's skin.
"Hao 'er, Hao' er actually ended up like this. This child, how can he be so stupid! "Tang Chen's old tears flowed, but his tears were still the color of blood.
"Great grandfather, don't be sad. Right now, the most important thing for us is how to make the Haotian Sect return to the Soul Master world, destroy the ambitions of Martial Soul Palace, and completely eradicate them. The hatred of my parents is absolutely irreconcilable. If I don't completely destroy them, I won't rest. "
Tang Chen stared blankly at Tang San, speechless for a while. Tang San looked earnestly at him. In his mind, once his great grandfather learned of the sect's situation, he would definitely bring him back to the sect to clean up the mess.
However, the light in Tang Chen's eyes gradually dimmed. With a long sigh, he shook his head and painfully closed his eyes, "The sect is like this, it's all my responsibility. However, I can't follow you back to the sect. Child, you're only twenty this year. How many Seagod Trials did you pass? "
Tang San looked at Tang Chen in confusion, "Great grandfather, I've already passed the seventh Seagod Trials."
Tang Chen said: "Then, when it's time for the Seagod Nine Trials, you'll have to return to Seagod Island?"
Tang San nodded, "Yes."
Tang Chen reached into his pocket and fished out a small golden hammer. A black gem was embedded in both ends of the small hammer. It looked extremely refined, "Child, this is for you. It's my keepsake, and also the keepsake of our Haotian Sect's chief elder. With it, the Elder Hall will all be at your disposal. You'll have the power to abolish the sect master and decide major matters of the sect. You're only in your twenties this year, yet you've already reached eight rings and passed the seven Seagod Trials. Although I was conceited back then, I was still far from you when I was your age. Good child, I'm proud of you. You're also the pride of our Haotian Sect. The future of the Haotian Sect is in your hands. When you're about to take the Seagod Nine Trials, return to Seagod Hall. I'll be waiting for you there. I owe Bo Saixi far too much. Even if I couldn't fulfill my promise to her, I'll still go see her. "
Saying so, he threw the small golden hammer to Tang San and suddenly soared into the sky like a blood colored bird. He instantly turned into a blood colored meteor and disappeared from Tang San's sight.
Tang San blankly stared in the direction his great grandfather disappeared. Why did his great grandfather leave just like that? Could it be that Seagod Douluo and Bo Saixi were even more important than the sect in his heart? No, definitely not. When he left, his face clearly showed pain. He was clearly very reluctant to part with the sect, but he still left. Just what was this … …
Tang San thought about it, but couldn't figure out the crux of the matter. But no matter what, his great grandfather's appearance was still a good thing. Even if he went to find Bo Saixi, he'd still come back one day. Didn't he say he'd wait for him on the island?
Thinking of this, Tang San's mood gradually calmed. He carefully withdrew that precious little golden hammer into the Twenty Four Moonlit Bridges, then leapt up, arriving where the Seagod Trident had fallen. Using Controlling Crane Catching Dragon, he pulled the trident out of the ground it had sunk into, and carefully wiped the dust off it. Tang San thought to himself, Trident, oh Trident, it's all my fault. I don't have enough strength for you to use. I'll definitely become a true Seagod as soon as possible and let you shine with the brilliance you deserve.
Eh, where's Hu Liena? Only now did Tang San remember the Martial Soul Palace Holy Maiden. His mental strength spread out like a spider's web, leading him to Hu Liena's whereabouts.
Hu Liena was already unconscious. Her clothes were torn in many places, revealing the fair skin underneath. Even though he'd seen it before, Tang San still couldn't help his heart skip a beat. Hu Liena was the most charming of all the women he'd ever seen. He didn't use his hands to touch her. A ray of Seagod's Light shot out of his forehead and fell on Hu Liena. Although Seagod's Light didn't have a direct healing effect, under his control it could activate the human body's potential and speed up recovery. As he used it more and more, Tang San became more and more familiar with the mysteries of Seagod's Light.
Under the cover of the golden light, Hu Liena gradually moved. Her injuries couldn't be considered too serious, she had only been knocked unconscious before. With the assistance of the Seagod's Light, she woke up in a short while.
Opening her eyes, the first thing she saw was Tang San. Hu Liena let out a long sigh, "You killed him?" Her face was brimming with excited joy. Just before when she was painfully struggling in the Slaughter Domain, watching her subordinates fall one by one, her heart was already filled with despair. In her despair, a figure appeared in her mind. She had extravagant hopes that even if she could only see him one more time before she died, she would still be satisfied. Just at this moment, he really appeared. Enveloped in golden divine light, he was like a deity descending to earth. Compared to before, he was even more heroic, and also had a bit more mature charm. With a raise of his hand, he blocked the enemy, and saved her at the most critical moment. What could be more perfect than this? Even though Hu Liena had never thought she would reunite with him under such circumstances, being saved by him again made Hu Liena feel only happiness and satisfaction. Even if she clearly knew that this person's heart wasn't with her, at this moment it was no longer important.
Tang San nodded calmly, "Sort of." There was nothing wrong with saying he killed the previous Slaughter King.
Hu Liena struggled to get up. She immediately discovered that her body was exposed in many places. Her face turned red, and she hurriedly turned around. She quickly retrieved a long robe from her portable soul tool and covered her body.
"Thank you, you saved me again." Hu Liena said a bit bashfully.
Tang San smiled calmly, "It's nothing, it was just a coincidence. Besides, even if I didn't face him this time, he would still come looking for me."
Turning back around, Hu Liena's face was already a bit flushed, speaking in a low voice: "Last time, last time in the Star Dou Great Forest … …"
Tang San frowned, "No need to say anymore, I'll settle this debt with your Spirit Empire."
Hu Liena sighed, "I know, this hatred is very difficult to resolve. But, Tang San, if one day you defeat your Spirit Empire, can you not kill teacher? She's actually also a person with a bitter fate. "
Tang San laughed coldly, "Bitter fate? As the Pope of Martial Soul Palace, the current Spirit Empire Emperor, do you think she has a bitter fate? Even if she really does have a bitter fate, can she inflict her own pain on others? If she hadn't sent you to the Star Dou Great Forest, would we have encountered conflict? Xiao Wu would have been sacrificed for you people? You don't need to say anything. I know you still have good intentions in your heart. If that day really comes, I won't kill you, but Bibi Dong must die. If you don't want to see that scene with your own eyes, then leave the Spirit Empire as soon as possible. "
Hu Liena looked stupidly at Tang San, the rims of her eyes a bit red, "Tang San, do you really think you can contend with our Spirit Empire by relying on the strength of two great empires? You should go. Haven't you never appeared in all these years? Why would you return to the Continent? I understand the stubbornness in your heart, but our Spirit Empire really isn't something you can contend with alone. Even if I don't know how you reached this level of strength. Even if you became a Title Douluo, what could you do? You're just one person, but you'll have to face the Spirit Empire's tens of thousands of Soul Master. The Soul Master of the two great empires added together isn't even a third of our Spirit Empire. As long as we finish unifying the provinces of the empire, the day the army is unified will be the day we destroy the two great empires. Don't tell me you think you can contend with the entire Continent by yourself? "
Tang San said indifferently: "There's no meaning in discussing this right now. Since you're fine, then I'll take my leave. The next time we meet, perhaps we'll be enemies on the battlefield. Goodbye."
Speaking, Tang San grasped the Seagod Trident and turned to leave.
"Wait a moment." Hu Liena urgently called out, her beautiful eyes already filled with grief. After all these years, why hadn't she been able to accept Yan's feelings? Even if she didn't want to admit it, she clearly understood that it was because of this man in front of her that she would never forget the experience of walking the Hell Road together back then, and even less forget this man's aura.
Love was sometimes blind. The time she and Tang San had truly been together was very very short, but that unforgettable feeling was something Yan who had grown up with her was unable to give her. She also tried to forget him, but his voice and smile couldn't be expelled from her heart. Now seeing the man she liked treat her so coldly, how couldn't she feel bad?
"Is there anything else?" Tang San asked without turning his head.
Hu Liena somewhat weakly said: "Can you tell me where you're going?"
Tang San said indifferently: "What? You plan to send the Spirit Empire army to surround and annihilate me? "
"You know I won't do that." Hu Liena shouted somewhat agitatedly, tears already flowing uncontrollably down her face. She couldn't bear his injustice.
Tang San fiercely turned his head, his eyes releasing a severe light, "Hu Liena, remember, we're not friends, but enemies. As long as you're in the Spirit Empire, this relationship won't change. I'm not saving you today, I'm just protecting myself. Everything that happened between us before, ends here. From now on, we're just enemies. " While speaking, Tang San turned the Seagod Trident in his hand, the broad sharp blade streaking across, and a deep ditch immediately appeared in the ground, separating the two of them from each other.
Drawing the Earth as a Boundary, the trident seemed to cut into Hu Liena's heart. Her face turned deathly pale, subconsciously stumbling back two steps, almost falling to the ground, her lips trembling, "You, you … …"
Tang San didn't look at her again, turning to soar into the sky, flying into the distance.
Just at this moment, Hu Liena suddenly used all her strength to shout, "Tang San, you can go anywhere, but by all means don't go to the Star Dou Great Forest. My teacher has brought six elders there to hunt spirit beasts." No matter how he treated her, in Hu Liena's heart there was only that inseparable feeling.
Already flying in the air, Tang San paused a moment, but he very quickly accelerated again, disappearing from Hu Liena's field of vision in the blink of an eye.
Hu Liena couldn't hold on any longer, falling to the ground with a thump, spitting out a mouthful of blood, her pretty face distressed.
Flying in the air, Tang San's heart equally wasn't calm. Hu Liena's final words had shocked him. Hu Liena personally leading six Spirit Empire elders to the Star Dou Great Forest, there was no need to doubt what she wanted. Besides the forest king Titan Ape Er Ming and Sky Blue Python Niu Da Ming, what else could make this Spirit Empire emperor lead six Title Douluo to besiege? With such a powerful line-up encircling them, even Da Ming and Er would find it very difficult to escape. Even though the Star Dou Great Forest was their territory, the Spirit Empire's line-up really was too powerful.
As for Tang San's attitude towards Hu Liena, it was intentional. Just like he said, between him and Hu Liena, they could only be enemies. With his intelligence, how couldn't he understand Hu Liena's feelings for him? But how could he accept it? In his heart, there had long since been no room for a second woman. Even though he had a good impression of Hu Liena, he absolutely didn't want to give her any chance to daydream, so he said those heartless words. Indecisiveness would only lead to chaos. Tang San was deeply aware of this, so he resolutely drew the line between him and Hu Liena, and also severed his good opinion of Hu Liena. Otherwise, if he faced the Spirit Empire later, with Hu Liena present, wouldn't he have to act? Since they couldn't be together, he might as well resolutely resolve the problem, to avoid being disturbed again.
While flying, Tang San held Xiao Wu's body from the Wishful Hundred Treasure Purse, and at the same time used his mental strength to awaken Xiao Wu's slumbering soul in her spirit ring and spirit bone, telling her what Hu Liena had just said.
Listening to Tang San's account, Xiao Wu was immediately worried, "Ge, then let's hurry. Da Ming and Er Ming are in danger, Bibi Dong definitely wants to kill them and seize their spirit rings and spirit bones. Let's hurry and save them."
