Background / History

Tang Chen founded the Clear Sky Sect and created its self-created soul skill, Ring Explosion, a technique regarded as comparable to a divine skill. His strength and legacy established him as the sect's stabilizing pillar and a legendary Peerless Douluo. 50 73

Although he could not solve his granddaughter Tang Yuehua's inability to cultivate, Tang Chen remained deeply involved in the sect's affairs and later personally investigated Tang San's abnormal ability to cultivate before Martial Soul Awakening. After observing Tang San in secret, he accepted Tang San's claim of reincarnation and became interested in the cultivation methods he had brought from another world. 73 127

He brought Tang Hao to Slaughter City for training, later intervening when Tang Hao's Divine Slaughter's Domain went berserk after his return. Following Tang Hao's second defeat by Gu Ziyi, Tang Chen treated the loss as a lesson rather than a disgrace and ordered Tang Hao to undertake at least five years of solitary training. 113 129 157

Tang Chen subsequently challenged Qian Daoliu to an all-out duel at Angel Cape. Their battle lasted three days and three nights; Tang Chen won narrowly through superior proficiency with Ring Explosion and his use of the Mysterious Heaven Skill. The wager required Qian Daoliu not to set foot on Haotian Mountain, while Tang Chen promised not to cause trouble. 158 159

He personally awakened the Martial Souls of Tang San and ten Tang Sect disciples, guiding them through the use of Self-Created Soul Rings. When the Mysterious Heaven Skill proved unable to improve those rings, Tang Chen acknowledged its limitation and allowed the disciples to choose Advanced Meditation Techniques instead. He then left Clear Sky Sect to seek a breakthrough to godhood. 159 160 161

Tang Chen eventually entered Slaughter City and concealed his identity while searching for a divine path. He nearly massacred the city to evolve his Divine Slaughter's Domain into the Slaughter Domain, then refused the Asura God's Eight Trials and left with his domain intact. 174 175

Personality

Tang Chen is proud, decisive, and unwilling to accept limits imposed by his cultivation realm. His search for a path to godhood drove him to leave Clear Sky Sect, challenge Slaughter City's secrets directly, and commit extreme acts to evolve his domain. 161 174

As a mentor, he is demanding but not cruel. He refused to let Tang Hao be crushed by defeat, viewing failure as necessary tempering, and he prioritized the Tang Sect disciples' long-term prospects over Tang San's insistence that they continue using the flawed Mysterious Heaven Skill. 157 161

He also values strength and honor among equals. His rivalry with Qian Daoliu remained respectful despite their repeated battles, and he accepted mutually binding conditions for their wager. 153 158

Trivia

• In the original timeline described by the narrative, Tang Chen and Qian Daoliu would travel to Sea God Island, lose to Bo Saixi, and both fall for her; Tang Chen would later become Slaughter City's Slaughter King after being parasitized by the Blood Red Nine-Headed Bat King. 47
• In this continuity, the altered Sea God Island expedition meant Tang Chen had not met Bo Saixi and was not motivated by her conditions to seek godhood. 141
