Chapter 464: Chapter 464: The Asura God's Scheme?

"The City of Slaughter is not merely a place to imprison evil soul masters. Since ancient times, there has been a legend that this city is a legacy site left behind by a powerful figure who ascended to godhood. That god later became known as the Asura God—one of the five enforcers who shamelessly opened back doors for Tang San. Hmph!"

The women: …

Clearly, Su Ming held quite a grudge against the Asura God. Given that this deity had indeed granted Tang San special treatment, they couldn't help but agree he seemed less than honorable.

"Because of this legend, Bibi Dong and Tang Chen both chose the City of Slaughter for their trials. They weren't just after the Killing God Domain but also hoped to inherit the Asura God's legacy."

"However, by the time Bibi Dong entered the City of Slaughter, she no longer had the opportunity to inherit this power. Tang Chen had already begun the God Trials, having completed the eighth trial of the Asura God. He only needed to pass the final trial to ascend."

"Unfortunately, after completing the eighth trial, Tang Chen was ambushed and parasitized by the Nine-Headed Bat King due to a moment of carelessness. That's why I said the current Slaughter King isn't Tang Chen but the Nine-Headed Bat King!"

Boom!

This revelation hit Bo Saixi like a thunderbolt. If Tang Chen had been parasitized, was he already dead?

Bibi Dong, on the other hand, felt a sense of clarity. She had previously suspected the Slaughter King was the Nine-Headed Bat King because of the obvious wings on his back. It seemed I was just a step too late back then, she thought, recalling how Tang Chen must have already been parasitized when she arrived.

Yet one point still puzzled her...

"Since the Slaughter King was no longer Tang Chen but the Nine-Headed Bat King, he wanted to prevent Hu Liena and Tang San from passing Hell Road and obtaining the Killing God Domain. It wasn't just due to their powerful backers but also out of fear of the Asura God himself."

"He understood that obtaining the Killing God Domain was a prerequisite for the first Asura God trial. Once they achieved it, the Asura God would take notice, which could spell danger for him—though that probability was low."

"After all, both Bibi Dong and Tang Hao acquired the Killing God Domain under his nose, and nothing happened to him, which is why he was willing to open Hell Road later."

"Still, I have to say the Nine-Headed Bat King's intelligence leaves much to be desired. He'd already parasitized the Asura God's heir—did he really think the Asura God wouldn't notice?"

"The Asura God simply couldn't be bothered. In fact, this might be what he wanted, having already chosen a better candidate: Tang San. And he'd been plotting for a long time. Why else would Tang Chen have been ambushed out of nowhere? It doesn't make sense!"

"That was my biggest question all along. After passing the eighth Asura God trial, Tang Chen should have had access to the Asura God's power and the Asura Divine Sword. How could a lowly Nine-Headed Bat King parasitize him?"

"From my understanding, Tang Chen's injuries and depleted spirit power after the trial shouldn't have left him that vulnerable."

"The Nine-Headed Bat King wasn't even strong. After parasitizing Tang Chen, he feared Tang Hao at ninety-five levels, not to mention Bibi Dong."

"Later, after Tang San cleared Hell Road, he destroyed the City of Slaughter. The Slaughter King then used the Asura Divine Sword to confront Tang San, who had the Sea God's Trident."

"Tang San was wary, seeing him as equal to Bo Saixi—a level ninety-nine Limit Douluo with some godly power. Even so, he defeated him, and Tang Chen briefly regained consciousness. But it was too late; the years of parasitism left him with little time to live."

"After a final meeting with Bo Saixi, he vanished completely."

"But that's not the main point. The fact that the Nine-Headed Bat King, wielding the Asura Divine Sword and Tang Chen's powers, still lost to Tang San proves what garbage he was. If it had been Tang Chen himself, Tang San would've stood no chance!"

"With both equipped with divine tools, the Asura Divine Sword would suppress the Sea God Trident. And if they matched Clear Sky Hammers, Tang San wouldn't stand a chance. As for domains, Tang San's extra Blue Silver Domain is inconsequential."

"Tang San's only advantage was his Tang Sect techniques and hidden weapons. But against Tang Chen's experience and boundless spiritual power, Tang San wouldn't even find an opening."

"So it makes no sense that Tang Chen, a top-tier figure, would end up parasitized like that."

"When Tang San killed the Nine-Headed Bat King, there was no spirit ring. That's when I realized… everything made sense!"

No spirit ring?

This revelation sent shockwaves through Bibi Dong and Bo Saixi. The lack of a spirit ring implied the Nine-Headed Bat King wasn't a true spirit beast but something else entirely, perhaps an extra-dimensional entity.

The other women, less familiar with this concept, were also surprised. The Nine-Headed Bat King wasn't of this world?

"It was all part of the Asura God's scheme!"

"After all, the Nine-Headed Bat King wasn't the only creature without a spirit ring. Hell Road's Ten-Headed Fierce Yang Serpent also left no spirit ring. Tang San even speculated that it wasn't native to this realm."

"He was right. The Ten-Headed Fierce Yang Serpent was an otherworldly creature the Asura God placed there specifically for trials."

Bibi Dong was taken aback. An entity from another realm?

When she had gone through Hell Road, she hadn't killed the Ten-Headed Fierce Yang Serpent, so she hadn't noticed. Back then, her goal had been simply to pass, not necessarily to kill the serpent.

"In other words, the Nine-Headed Bat King was also an extra-dimensional entity, another of the Asura God's placements. This realization raises several questions."

"Did Tang Chen know about the Nine-Headed Bat King's presence? If he did, why not kill or confine it during his trials on Hell Road?"

"The Nine-Headed Bat King may not have been strong, but it could have attacked him at any time. Given Tang Chen's experience, he would have taken precautions."

"But I'm more inclined to believe that Tang Chen had no knowledge of the Nine-Headed Bat King's existence!"


Chapter 465: Chapter 465: Sea God’s ‘Subtle’ Intervention—Flooding Instead of Playing Fair!

"When Tang Chen was the King of Slaughter, he knew every corner of the Slaughter City. But when it came time for his God Trials, he would never have tolerated the Nine-Headed Bat King remaining there if he knew of its presence!"

"Thus, the picture becomes clear. The Asura God must have unleashed the Nine-Headed Bat King right after Tang Chen completed his eighth trial, intending for it to parasitize Tang Chen and prevent him from advancing further in his trials."

"This was all in preparation for the Sea God and Asura God's plan to elevate Tang San to godhood."

"Their ideal candidate for this godly duo was Tang San, with Xiao Wu eventually serving as the 'sheath' for the Asura Sword, exploiting a loophole, since the God Realm had never allowed the coexistence of two god positions. Making Xiao Wu the sword's 'sheath' cleverly bypassed this rule."

"This also explains why the Nine-Headed Bat King dared to ambush Tang Chen. Being from another realm, he felt no intimidation from the Asura God's power emanating from Tang Chen—instead, he coveted it. By parasitizing Tang Chen, he would become far stronger!"

"That's precisely what the Asura God intended. Tang Chen was nothing more than an experience-fodder boss for Tang San's late-stage growth."

"Generally, inheritors must pass all nine tests to gain a godly legacy. Only those with level ninety-nine spirit power can skip the first seven trials."

"Yet, the Asura God already planned with the Sea God to let Tang San inherit the Sea God position first, bypassing the usual rules to allow Tang San to jump straight to the final Asura trial after."

"In the original story, Tang San reached godhood through the Sea God trials, but since he'd already ascended, skipping the Asura God's first seven trials might seem fair enough. Yet the Asura God brazenly justified this shortcut by claiming Tang Chen had already passed the previous eight trials—so Tang San only needed to complete the ninth."

"The favoritism is unbelievable! How are Tang Chen's trials relevant to Tang San?"

"If the Sea God bent the rules this much, why didn't he just ask Bo Saixi to sacrifice herself, so Tang San could skip straight to the Sea God's ninth trial? After all, he's the Sea God—why not 'flood' the process instead of just bending it?"

The women: …

Sea God: Bending the rules was one thing, but what's the point if there's no challenge? Ever seen a sixty-something-level soul master ascend to godhood?

Bo Saixi's gaze grew distant as she read the cold words in the diary, now realizing Tang Chen's plight was not of his own making but the Asura God's scheme. Was he just a pawn in the Asura God's plan for Tang San's dual godhood? She couldn't understand why the Asura God would prefer Tang San over Tang Chen. By raw talent alone, Tang Chen surpassed anyone she'd ever known—even herself and Qian Daoliu.

After all, both she and Qian Daoliu had reached level ninety-nine by relying on divine trials; he became the Supreme Pontiff of the Angel Temple, while she served as the High Priestess of Sea God Island.

But Tang Chen achieved the ninety-ninth level purely through his own efforts, inventing numerous techniques like the Disorder Splitting Wind Hammer, the Vast Sea Cosmos Hammer, and explosive ring techniques that neither she nor Qian Daoliu could replicate.

She chose Tang Chen over Qian Daoliu precisely because of this. Although she had a close relationship with Qian Daoliu, all three understood the tacit choice she'd made.

A fierce aura of anger began to leak from Bo Saixi. She was furious at the Asura God's treachery; for a deity to manipulate like this—was he even worthy of the title? But despite her anger, she couldn't hope to challenge him. With the Asura God's power… she was helpless.

For a fleeting moment, she contemplated going to the Slaughter City to search for Tang Chen, but she dismissed the thought. The time isn't right, she reminded herself. I can't leave Sea God Island. Besides, even if she found Tang Chen, there was little she could do to save him, and her presence might even alert both the Asura and Sea Gods.

"High Priestess, is everything alright?"

The Seven Sacred Pillars of Sea God Island hurried into the Sea God Temple, bowing in respect.

Just moments ago, they'd sensed a massive surge of soul power that left them shaken. To them, it felt like their High Priestess had grown even stronger since the last time.

"Nothing's wrong. I lost control of my power while cultivating. You may leave." Bo Saixi's voice echoed from within the hall.

The Seven Sacred Pillars exchanged glances, somewhat bewildered but ultimately resigned. This wasn't the first time this had happened. Had anything genuinely been amiss, they would have suspected that someone had infiltrated the hall and taken her hostage. These eruptions of power often disturbed Sea God Island's inhabitants, leaving them responsible for calming the situation.

Inside the hall, Bo Saixi eventually calmed herself. Now, her only choice was to accelerate her cultivation, especially since the system had recently enhanced her soul power's accumulation rate. Ascending to the hundredth level and achieving godhood no longer seemed a dream—just a question of how many years it would take.

"Besides," Su Ming continued, "if I remember correctly, Tang San's sixth Sea God trial initially involved holding out against the combined assault of the Seven Sacred Pillars for one incense stick of time. After he bypassed the fifth trial, though, it was changed to surviving under Bo Saixi alone!"

"That ramped up the difficulty to insane levels. Bo Saixi, a level ninety-nine Limit Douluo who could control the sea itself, could wipe out ten Tang Sans without breaking a sweat. The trial was a death sentence!"

Bo Saixi: …

She could guess why she felt killing intent toward Tang San during the trial. After all, being Tang Chen's great-grandson didn't mean she wanted to die just to make him a god.

"The Sea God must have intervened again. He granted Bo Saixi her Sea God Martial Spirit, and as his High Priestess, she could wield a portion of his power. It would've been easy for him to tilt the odds."

"With the Sea God as his intended heir, how could he let Bo Saixi kill him? Ultimately, Bo Saixi was bound to die!"

"Yet here was another blatant display of favoritism. Then there was Tang San's eighth trial, which should've been one year long, according to Bo Saixi's decree for mainland soul masters. Instead, the Sea God gave Tang San five years. They weren't even trying to hide it!"
