Tang San Felt Like He Could Do It Again
Yu Xiaogang said, "This is absolutely impossible."
"Everyone, you absolutely mustn't believe it. Mortals can slay gods too? How the fuck is that possible?"
In the livestream, Yu Xiaogang typed furiously.
(Yu Xiaogang: I once read in an ancient text that the techniques for making Soul Tools were lost long ago. Nowadays, even the most badass Soul Tools on the Douluo Continent can only store a few items and assist with cultivation.)
(Yu Xiaogang: I admit that your Teyvat really is powerful, but you still can't spout nonsense like this. Soul Tools are nothing but an unorthodox path. The foundation of a Soul Master is the combination of Soul Power and Soul Rings.)
(Yu Xiaogang: This sky screen actually fucking dares to say that someone developed a nineteenth-generation portable "Annihilation Series" Level 9 Soul Tool, the Celestial Nail, and that even a mortal with one can slay a god!)
(Yu Xiaogang: If a mortal with one can slay a god, what's the point of cultivating? That doesn't conform to my laws of heaven and earth at all.)
Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.
Ning Fengzhi couldn't help frowning.
He simply couldn't imagine it.
A mortal slaying a god.
What would that look like?
It was like how creatures in a three-dimensional world couldn't imagine what a four-dimensional creature looked like or what its technology was like.
People in ancient times couldn't imagine how a nuclear bomb could raze a city to the ground in an instant.
(Ning Fengzhi: Esteemed gods of Teyvat, I am Ning Fengzhi, sect master of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.)
(Our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect has also done some research into Soul Tools. According to our ancient texts, even a Level 7 Soul Tool requires many high-level Soul Masters to work together to create one.)
(A Level 8 Soul Tool, the Celestial Nail, lets even a mortal slay a god. How exactly is that possible?)
(I wonder whether you people of Teyvat sell Soul Tools. It doesn't have to be Level 8; Level 7 would do. Our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect would be very willing to pay for one.)
(Nahida, thousand-year cultivation version: Yu Xiaogang, it's perfectly normal for you to have doubts. But you called Soul Tools an unorthodox path and even argued that "Soul Tools are useless." Is it possible that the era your Douluo Continent is in simply hasn't developed to that level yet?)
(Nahida: The Celestial Nail featured by the sky screen should be the first-generation version from five hundred years ago. Even that version could wipe out an entire nation with a single shot. Its power was roughly enough to erase the Heaven Dou Empire from the map.)
(Nahida: In five hundred years, the Celestial Nail has gone through nineteen generations. It's a hundred times more powerful than the first generation. "Portable" means that even an ordinary person without Soul Power can easily carry one around.)
(Nahida: Mr. Ning Fengzhi, as for whether we sell them, sorry, but the Celestial Nail is a strategic resource belonging to Celestia. We can't sell it.)
(Sword Douluo: The first-generation version could erase the Heaven Dou Empire from the map? That's simply unimaginable!)
(Dugu Bo: The area my Jade Phosphorous Serpent Emperor poison covers is probably like a grain of sand compared to an entire desert next to that Celestial Nail. That's far too terrifying! Wouldn't whoever possessed one instantly become the absolute, absolute, absolute strongest force on the continent?)
(Ning Fengzhi: Truly terrifying! If what Lady Nahida said is correct, I'm afraid our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect wouldn't even be enough to withstand one shot from a first-generation Celestial Nail.)
People across the Douluo Continent were left dumbstruck.
Whether it was the Pope of Spirit Hall, the sect master of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, or the other top experts on the continent, none could help drawing a sharp breath.
If such a weapon really existed, a single shot landing on the Douluo Continent could instantly trigger the Douluo Continent's version of a "world war."
Meanwhile.
Clear Sky Sect.
"Impossible, absolutely impossible!"
Tang San was more shaken than ever before.
His eyes were bloodshot.
As he saw it, these so-called Soul Tools were the greatest provocation to Tang Sect Hidden Weapons.
Soul Tools were an unorthodox path, a low-grade thing. Only Tang Sect Hidden Weapons were orthodox, the true gods.
They were the pinnacle of using force against force. The Buddha's Fury Tang Lotus, the Torrential Rain Pear Blossom Needles, the Peacock Plume—these were all the lifeblood of the Tang Sect, and the pride of his life.
Just then.
A majestic voice rang out.
"Tang San!"
Tang San froze for a moment, then suddenly sensed the walls of his room in the Clear Sky Sect vanish around him.
He then found himself in a dark space. A dark red longsword floated before him, emitting endless Asura Power.
An Asura Mark floated slowly above the blade. Its terrifying pressure nearly made Tang San lose his mind on the spot and become a monster that wanted only to slaughter.
A majestic voice rang out from within the sword.
"Tang San, wake up at once."
Tang San abruptly came to his senses.
Tang San asked, "Who are you?"
"I am the Asura God King," a voice rang out from within the Asura God Sword.
Tang San: "!!!!!"
He never could have imagined it.
The exalted Asura God King had actually descended to the lower realm to find him.
The Asura God King said, "There's no need for formalities. I have little time to find you in the lower realm on this occasion."
"Catch."
A trident came slicing through the air and landed before Tang San. Its blades glowed blue, making Tang San feel as relaxed and comfortable as if he were at the seaside.
"I am lending you the Sea God Trident and the Asura God Sword for now."
"With the help of the source power of our Five Great God Kings within them, they can briefly raise your strength to the Quasi-God realm."
Tang San could hardly believe his ears.
The Asura God King's voice continued.
"Go and capture someone from Teyvat on the Douluo Continent and bring them back. Preferably someone who knows a great deal about what's happening over there."
"If you do well, our Douluo God Realm can open the inheritances of the Sea God Godhood and the Asura God Godhood to you ahead of time."
Tang San couldn't help swallowing!
All he had to do was capture someone from Teyvat on the Douluo Continent.
And the Douluo God Realm would open the Sea God's and Asura God's divine trials to him ahead of time.
He could hardly believe what was happening before him.
Could he be dreaming?
He didn't know exactly how difficult it was to obtain a god's inheritance, but in the ten thousand years of the Douluo Continent's history, probably no one had succeeded.
Otherwise, most people couldn't possibly regard becoming a god as a legend.
Tang San hurriedly asked, "Lord Asura God, if they resist, then I..."
The Asura God King's voice rang out once more. "Do as you like. You only need to capture their soul."
As soon as the words fell.
Tang San found himself still sitting on the bed in his room in the Clear Sky Sect.
The Sea God Trident and the Asura God Sword floated before him.
"Haha, I, Tang San, will definitely carry out this mission properly!"
