Chapter 207 The Asura Demon Sword in Hand
A domineering crimson aura surged from Tang Chen's body, and his already powerful aura instantly soared, with a righteous killing intent emanating from him.
Ding Quan raised an eyebrow; Tang Chen no longer possessed any evil aura.
The King of Slaughter's soul was unable to suppress Tang Chen's soul under the attack of Ling's fifth soul skill, Ice Mirror Illusion. The spiritual power of the nine-headed blood-red bat was directly annihilated. At this moment, he was Tang Chen who had completed the eighth trial of Asura!
Ding Quan looked at the figure that was now emanating a terrifying blood-red killing intent, and the soul power emanating from the other party made him feel breathless.
Ding Quan had seen this kind of aura before, with the Deep Sea Demon Whale King and the Snow Empress. However, the auras of these beings were different, and as for their strength, Ding Quan was unable to compete with them, so it was difficult to judge. But what was certain was that Tang Chen in front of him already possessed a divine artifact, and his strength was probably above that of the Deep Sea Demon Whale King.
At this moment, Tang Chen had a deep wound on his chest, the masterpiece of the Illusionary Divine Sword. Even Tang Chen, a peerless being at level ninety-nine, would be severely injured by this attack.
Upon hearing what Tang Chen said, Ding Quan and the others exchanged glances.
Others might not understand what Tang Chen meant, but Ding Quan knew very well.
Tang Chen sought the opportunity to become a god for a promise he made to the Sea God Douluo Poseidon.
Ding Quanxuan looked at the soul power within Tang Chen's body with his fiery eyes. Although he had regained control of this body, the Crimson Nine-Headed Bat King had been corroding it for decades, trying to take over the physical body. The body was filled with the evil soul power of the Crimson Nine-Headed Bat King, which had been partially purified by the divine attribute of the Angelic Martial Soul, but this had also caused great damage to the body.
"A 100,000-year spirit ring, and he's only a Soul Douluo? And this six-winged angel?" Tang Chen's gaze swept over Ding Quan and the others, and his regret vanished instantly. As one of the most powerful beings on the continent, he was extremely shocked after seeing Ding Quan and the others' spirits and spirit rings.
He only had one 100,000-year soul ring, and it was precisely because he absorbed a 100,000-year soul ring when he was the ninth soul ring that he was able to cultivate to level 99 before he was even a hundred years old, thanks to his talent.
"This is just one of my soul skills," Ling said when he saw Tang Chen's gaze turn to Qian Renxue.
"Soul skills? After decades of living in a daze, the Soul Master world has actually produced geniuses like you! Do you think I've changed that much?" Tang Chen clearly saw that this illusory body was not a real person. He lingered on the three red soul rings on Ling's body for a moment. Looking at the wary looks of the group, Ling's soul ring configuration seemed to be the strongest among them.
"We were wondering about this before, but now we have the answer," Ding Quan said, stepping forward.
"Yeah?"
"I have a skill that allows me to control beings with lower mental strength than myself, and at this moment, you are completely different from before."
"Your mental strength is very strong, no wonder you were able to suppress me before!" Tang Chen looked at the vertical eye on Ding Quan's forehead. This person's mental strength surprised him. Such mental strength was already comparable to his own. The mental strength of the other people was also ridiculously strong. If they were at the same level, he probably wouldn't be a match for them. Looking at the red spirit rings on their bodies, he realized that this was something he couldn't do either.
"Compared to you, senior, we are still far behind. If I'm not mistaken, you must be Haotian Douluo, who disappeared from the Soul Master world for decades."
Ding Quan noticed that Tang Chen was scrutinizing his group, and realized that Tang Chen's body couldn't hold on for much longer.
However, if he wanted to attack them, he would have virtually no chance of resisting, and of course, they wouldn't easily make a move either. If he did, his body would collapse even faster.
According to what he said after recovering, what he wants most now is to go to Poseidon Island to see Poseidon one last time.
"You know me?" Tang Chen looked somewhat surprised. With his keen eyesight, he could tell that the group was quite young and that he had been out of the Soul Master world for some time before he left.
"I have seen the soul power that you just released in the current Haotian Douluo, although his soul power is not comparable to yours."
"Who is Haotian Douluo?"
"Tang Hao, senior, if you had woken up sooner, you might have been able to see him. He just left the City of Slaughter."
"It's him." Tang Chen showed a hint of relief upon hearing this. Tang Hao was his grandson. He had met Tang Hao when he left the Clear Sky Sect. He knew Tang Hao's talent very well, so it was not surprising that Tang Hao became the Clear Sky Douluo.
"Senior Haotian Douluo helped us before. If he had known earlier that the King of Slaughter was you, he wouldn't have left."
"Is that so? But I'm your target?"
Tang Chen looked at Ding Quan with some surprise upon hearing this, then closed his eyes and nodded slightly.
Upon seeing this, Ding Quan understood. The soul of the Nine-Headed Blood-Red Bat King had just been destroyed, but some information should have remained.
"When we ventured into Hell Road, we discovered that the pure killing intent in this City of Slaughter could resist the evil energy permeating it. These are two different forces, and they restrain each other. The God of Slaughter Domain we obtained is pure killing intent, which restrains the evil energy of this land of slaughter."
"Although I don't know the extent of God's power, it's conceivable that it would be difficult to control two mutually restraining forces."
"Rumor has it that the City of Slaughter is a domain left behind by Soul Masters who broke through to level 100 and became gods. This legend is true, but it wasn't a god!"
"The stronger the God of Slaughter's Domain, the weaker the evil aura should be. However, the King of Slaughter clearly contradicts this. Therefore, we suspect that the King of Slaughter has a secret, which may be related to becoming a god. Fortunately, we are strong enough to face the King of Slaughter, and we have made ample preparations."
"But, I never expected..."
"9
Ding Quan delivered the explanation he had prepared long ago. Based on his knowledge, these explanations were based on his own guesses, and apart from the last point which was uncertain, the rest were correct.
"Become a god! Haha~, things I couldn't see through before, you can see clearly now." Tang Chen's laughter was full of regret.
"senior?"
"You want to become gods?"
"Of course!" Ding Quan waved the Longyuan Sword in his hand, and a mighty sword intent surged forth, blocking the aura emanating from Tang Chen.
"You do indeed have this ability." Tang Chen looked at the sword intent emanating from Ding Quan, the chill that rose again from Ling's body, and the purple-gold lightning running through Wei'er's body.
"Senior, since we woke you up, could you do us a small favor?"
"I'm afraid I can't do that." Tang Chen shook his head upon hearing this. He was very clear about his current physical condition. He could feel the terrifying power within his body, which was at the god level. Unfortunately, his body could no longer withstand it. Even if he didn't fight, his body could only last for a few more days.
"This is a favor you can easily do, senior," Ding Quan said, noticing Tang Chen's puzzled expression. "Then it's the demonic sword you just used, senior!"
"What!" Tang Chen's eyes narrowed slightly, and his aura became extremely powerful for a moment, but he quickly recovered.
This longsword is the culmination of decades of his efforts and can be seen as a testament to his strength.
"Senior, your body seems to be on the verge of collapse. Perhaps we can lend you a hand!" Ding Quan said, meeting Tang Chen's gaze. "Moreover, Senior Haotian's son is a friend of ours, and he has found the divine inheritance on Seagod Island. If Senior..."
"What did you say?! Hao'er's son?" Tang Chen interrupted Ding Quan directly. With his strength and the spiritual power Ding Quan was releasing at this moment, Tang Chen was certain that Ding Quan was not lying.
Seeing Tang Chen's tense expression, Ding Quan understood. If there was anything that could move Tang Chen now, it would only be Poseidon. News of Poseidon Island was extremely important to Tang Chen.
In addition, someone found the divine succession on Poseidon Island. Tang Chen, who knew the responsibilities of the Grand Priest of Poseidon Island, naturally knew what this was. Once the divine test was initiated, it would also mean that Poseidon's life was entering its final countdown.
"We know Haotian Douluo's son. He has initiated the Sea God's inheritance, which is why we came here in search of other divine inheritances."
"Hao'er's son has awakened the Sea God's legacy." Upon hearing this, Tang Chen's expression was a complex mix of relief and pain.
"Senior, I have a soul skill that can seal the soul power within a person's body. In this way, if you don't use too much strength, you can hold out for a long time," Ling said, seeing Tang Chen's expression. "In that case, the demonic sword will be of little use to you. Moreover, I have a feeling that the power within that demonic sword is too domineering. If you hold it, my soul skill may not be able to seal most of your soul power."
"A soul skill that seals soul power." Tang Chen fell into thought. His body couldn't hold out for much longer. If he could seal a portion of his soul power, he could hold out for much longer. If he only used the strength of the previous King of Slaughter, there wouldn't be any major problems.
"Senior, don't you want to see your descendants reach level 100 and become gods? Also, I've heard that Senior Poseidon of Seagod Island is an old acquaintance of yours, perhaps..."
"I can give you the Demon Sword, but your soul skill must be useful!" Tang Chen interrupted Ding Quan again.
"That's natural, but you need to suppress the power within your body first, senior. You should be able to do that now." Ding Quan nodded to Ling as he spoke. There's a reason why Douluo Continent is called the Continent of Love. Originally, I thought only those few women were love-struck, but now it seems that Tang Chen can also be considered one.
However, in the original story, after Tang Chen recovered, he went directly to Seagod Island without saying a word and did not return to Haotian Sect, which shows how important Poseidon was in Tang Chen's eyes at that time.
The Asura Demon Sword reappeared in Tang Chen's hand, but this time it possessed an extremely pure killing intent, something that the King of Slaughter had never had before.
As Tang Chen poured blood-red soul power into the Asura Demon Sword, Ding Quan sensed a strange aura within it—this was the power of the Asura God!
Within Ding Quan's spiritual sea, Xue Di also stared intently at Tang Chen and the Asura Demon Sword in his hand. Her previously expressionless face couldn't help but flash with excitement. This was a true divine artifact! It possessed a power that surpassed even her own.
"Senior, please forgive me!" A silvery-white aura spread out from Ling's body. At the same time, a cold aura surged from his left leg and instantly climbed up Tang Chen's body.
Ling Zuo's soul bone skill, Ice Lotus Seal, was released to its maximum extent. Under Tang Chen's own suppression, the soul power within his body was sealed.
Tang Chen looked at the power emanating from Ling's body with shock in his eyes. This person's soul power was so strong and so vast. If she were to break through to the Title Douluo level, she would probably be almost the same as Tang Chen before level 99.
As time passed, Tang Chen's soul power weakened, eventually becoming almost indistinguishable from when the group faced the King of Slaughter.
"It's ready!" Tang Chen's voice rang out, and Ding Quan breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this.
Ding Quan had been silently counting the time; almost an hour had passed, so there was still plenty of time.
"senior?"
"Here, this is for you. Perhaps you can..." Tang Chen stood up and handed the Asura Demon Sword in his hand directly to Ding Quan. His expression was somewhat unforgettable. He knew very well why Ding Quan and the others wanted this sword. It could be said to be the key to unlocking the inheritance of the divine position.
"Senior, it's best not to use too much power. We'll meet again." Ding Quan took the Asura Demon Sword, and the terrifying killing intent on it caused his Killing God Domain to involuntarily emerge.
It was indeed pure killing intent. Tang Chen sensed Ding Quan's killing god domain and felt as if he had let go of something. He flew directly into the distance.
"Let's go!" Ding Quan saw that Tang Chen's figure had completely disappeared, so he directly pulled Ling and flew towards the Hell Road.
"There's still time. If it really produces a spirit ring, with its strength, that spirit ring can exist for a very long time!" Feeling the extreme ice-attribute spirit power transmitted from Ding Quan's hand, Ling also directly absorbed it and began to recover quickly.
"It's better to do it sooner rather than later."
The group moved quickly, and their figures appeared on Hell Road a moment later.
"Nothing?!" Ling looked at the spot she had been eyeing earlier, but there was nothing unusual there. Then she looked at Ding Quan.
"It's not dead yet!" Ding Quan's golden-red Xuanhuo eyes looked at the soul power still appearing below the blood pool, somewhat surprised.
"What?"
"Its soul power still exists, but I still can't sense its spiritual power." Ding Quan said, handing the Asura Demon Sword to Ling.
"I'll do it!" As Vera spoke, her seventh red soul ring lit up, and then a huge thunder tiger plunged into the blood pool.
A surge of blood erupted within the pool, and Ding Quan and Ling were instantly propelled into the air. The narrow walkway beneath their feet snapped open, and amidst the churning crimson, a thunder tiger over ten meters long dragged out a being over twenty meters long.
"It really is a nine-headed blood-red bat!" This is a blood-red bat with nine heads. Its huge fleshy wings tightly wrap around its massive body. If these wings were spread out, they would probably be more than a hundred meters long.
Ling looked at the soul beast and could still sense the aura emanating from it. Without hesitation, he used the Asura Demon Sword in his hand to sever all nine of its heads.
Has it become like a vegetable? Ding Quan and the recovered Wei'er looked at the nine-headed blood-red bat that offered no resistance. This soul beast wasn't dead, but you could also say it was dead—brain dead.
Amidst the surprised gazes of the crowd, a blood-red soul ring appeared on the bat's body.
"Three, four, five! Five golden lines!"
This is a soul beast that is over 500,000 years old and has reached the level of a level 99 soul master. Only with such strength can it suppress Tang Chen, who is undergoing the eighth trial of the Asura!
"Quan, perhaps you and Wei'er can quickly reach level 90!"
Just as Ding Quan was overjoyed, the voice of the Snow Emperor rang out from within the Sea of Spirit.
