Tang Chen's Revival, the Return of a Legend
The far west of the Douluo Continent, in the Slaughter City.
At this moment, on the top floor of the King of Slaughter's palace, Tang Chen lay on the ground, his life hanging in the balance. The culprit who destroyed his Asura God Trial, the Crimson Nine-Headed Bat King, had been struck by Bo Saixi's powerful Light of the Ocean and completely reduced to dust, leaving not even a trace of its existence.
This demonstrates the formidable power of offensive Hundred Thousand Year Soul Skill. If you have any doubts about the strength of these Soul Skills, you can refer to the fate of the Holy Dragon Douluo Tuoba Xi in the Original Work.
His entrance was incredibly imposing; the true form of the White Armored Earth Dragon was absolutely stunning and exuded maximum intimidation. However, Tang San sent him straight to meet the King of Hell with a single move using the 100,000-year-old Blue Silver Azure Dragon Soul.
This is the power of a powerful, offensive Hundred Thousand Year Spirit Ring. Moreover, the Light of the Ocean was created by Bo Saixi, a peerless being at Level Ninety-Nine, making its power several times greater. Even a level 95 Titled Douluo would absolutely not be able to withstand this attack, let alone the Crimson Nine-Headed Bat King.
Although the latter, as the true king of the Blood Bat clan, was even stronger than the Dark Gold Three-Headed Bat King of Road to Hell, he was ultimately not Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast skilled in direct confrontation. Furthermore, his Blood Escape Technique, which he was good at for self-preservation, was completely useless against Bo Saixi, which is why he was instantly killed by Bo Saixi.
The Crimson Nine-Headed Bat King has mastered the Blood Escape Technique to its ultimate level, making him indestructible even with a single drop of blood. As long as a single drop of blood remains, the Crimson Nine-Headed Bat King's life will not end.
Unfortunately, Bo Saixi's Light of the Ocean didn't leave the Crimson Nine-Headed Bat King with a single drop of blood, leaving the latter utterly without any chance of survival.
After escaping the parasitic presence of the Crimson Nine-Headed Bat King, Tang Chen was still unconscious, but his skin color was no longer that eerie paleness; it gradually regained some color and no longer looked so sickly.
With a complicated expression, Bo Saixi walked up to Tang Chen, squatted down, and slowly used her Soul Power to sense his physical condition. Then she sighed heavily and frowned.
"The injuries are life-threatening..."
Bo Saixi shook her head and murmured something. Then she was about to open the bottle of Divine Water given to her by the Sea God Poseidon and slowly pour it into Tang Chen's mouth. Unexpectedly, when Bo Saixi tried to use her Soul Power to turn Tang Chen over, the latter suddenly woke up.
Seeing his old acquaintance Bo Saixi holding a bottle of some unknown liquid and about to drink it, the two were suddenly in an awkward situation. Bo Saixi didn't know whether to move or not.
"Tang Chen, don't misunderstand. This bottle of water was bestowed upon me by the Lord Sea God and has healing properties. I came to the Slaughter City because of the Lord Sea God's divine decree... I just didn't expect you to be trapped in a place like this for so long..."
Bo Saixi explained somewhat hastily, clearly afraid that Tang Chen would misunderstand. She had never married in her life, firstly because her strength was too great, which made her standards too high, and secondly because Tang Chen had left too deep an impression on her. Even though he had been gone for so many years, she had never been attracted to anyone.
"Bo Saixi, my days are numbered..." Tang Chen sighed and said slowly.
"I know my physical condition best. I was exhausted when I passed the Seventh Trial of the Asura God, and I really never expected to be ambushed by that cunning beast."
"Although my consciousness has been suppressed by that beast all these years, I can still sense what's happening in the outside world. I really have to thank you this time, Bo Saixi."
Tang Chen chuckled lightly, appearing quite nonchalant in the face of death. He had already taken life and death lightly; perhaps his only regret was failing to reach level 100 and Becoming a God, so he could be with the woman he loved.
"Bo Saixi, before I die, there's one more thing I want to say to you..."
"..." Bo Saixi remained silent, her beautiful eyes now filled with tears, which eventually slid down her cheeks.
"Actually, I've always kept these words deep in my heart." Tang Chen looked at Bo Saixi and actually reached out to stroke her cheek. Bo Saixi grasped Tang Chen's outstretched hand, her eyes filled with tears.
That hand was already somewhat bony, looking completely sick. But Bo Saixi didn't care at all.
"I love you, so I'm willing to go all out to take that final step for you, and I don't regret it."
Tang Chen's words instantly made Bo Saixi's buried emotions impossible to hide anymore. Her tears flowed like a waterfall, and her tone was no longer as gentle as before.
"You blockhead... Qian Daoliu is a Divine Envoy messenger!" Bo Saixi was already choking up and unable to speak.
It turns out that the three people who could dominate an era in the Spirit Master world back then were Qian Daoliu, Tang Chen, and Bo Saixi.
Both Qian Daoliu and Tang Chen expressed their admiration for Bo Saixi, but the latter, being somewhat reserved, only gave a vague answer to the question.
Bo Saixi's answer was that she would marry whoever reached level 100 Becoming a God. Upon hearing this answer, Qian Daoliu left feeling dejected. He knew very well that as the Divine Envoy of the Angel God, he would never be able to break through to Level Ninety-Nine and truly become an immortal god. His mission was to burn away all his cultivation to open the door to the Ninth Trial for the successor of the Angel God.
Therefore, as soon as Bo Saixi said this, Qian Daoliu knew exactly what she was thinking. She was rejecting him.
Tang Chen chose to be straightforward and fulfill his beloved's expectations and demands, hoping to win in this competition. However, he was so careless that he failed to realize that he had never had any competitors from beginning to end.
Qian Daoliu, being Divine Envoy, cannot Becoming a God, which means he has no right to compete with Tang Chen. Tang Chen, as the only one who has reached Level Ninety-Nine step by step without relying on any external force, but solely on his own talent and the majestic Clear Sky Hammer, is naturally the most likely to Becoming a God. It is also self-evident who Bo Saixi likes.
"Haha... I see..." When his physical condition was on the verge of collapse, Tang Chen belatedly realized Bo Saixi's feelings for him, but he felt it was all too late.
"Bo Saixi, what is the current situation on the continent?"
Tang Chen did not rush to drink the Divine Water to accept the Sea God's gift, because he knew there was no free lunch in heaven.
Putting aside the fact that he has little hope of recovery given his current physical condition, even if he did recover, what then?
Sea God wouldn't want to heal him for no reason. If he receives benefits from others, he will naturally become subject to their control. Even if he truly regains his peak strength, what then? He has lost the freedom he has always longed for, and Tang Chen will no longer be Tang Chen.
Speaking of Tang Chen, even Su He, a transmigrator with memories of two lifetimes, speaks highly of him. Not only is his strength extraordinary, but his character is also top-notch, making him vastly different from a villain like Tang San.
Tang Chen is a truly powerful individual, possessing a magnanimous spirit as vast as his own Soul Power level. He has the courage and determination to continue pursuing strength and freedom.
Such a strong person is worthy of Su He's respect.
"The situation Bu Le ..." Bo Saixi sighed and said.
"The Spirit Hall is far too powerful now; the Clear Sky Sect is being suffocated by its power. Even our Sea God Island is under threat."
"Oh? How is the Clear Sky Sect doing now? Tell me quickly."
"A major event occurred at the Clear Sky Sect a few years ago. Your grandson, Tang Hao, got into a fight with Qian Daoliu 'Qian Daoliu son and ultimately killed him..."
Bo Saixi recounted all the details of the great battle she had heard to Tang Chen. Upon hearing about Tang Hao's ordeal, Tang Chen flew into a rage and denounced the Clear Sky Sect for its cowardice.
"Lin'er... you're so foolish! Abandoning Hao'er and retreating to the mountains may allow you to hide for a while, but can you hide forever?"
"By doing this, the Clear Sky Sect has gained temporary safety, but it has lost its most precious backbone! From now on, it will probably be difficult for them to stand up to the Spirit Hall again..."
"I never imagined that old bastard Qian Daoliu would lose to me my whole life, while his children and grandchildren are now suffocating my children and grandchildren. What a twist of fate, karma!"
Tang Chen said with some heartache. Although he pursued his own strength more, he still cared a lot about the sect he founded, the Clear Sky Sect. The Lin'er that Tang Chen mentioned was naturally his son, the previous sect master of the Clear Sky Sect who was angered to death, the father of Tang Hao and Tang Xiao, and the grandfather of Tang San, Tang Lin.
"But I'm also nearing the end of my life, and now I can only hope that my children and grandchildren will have their own blessings..."
"Chen, drink it." Upon hearing Tang Chen's sigh, Bo Saixi's brows furrowed with complex emotions.
"Drink it, and come back to Sea God Island with me. I'll take good care of you, Chen."
Even if you no longer have great power in the future, we can still be together without any obstacles.
Upon hearing Bo Saixi's words, Tang Chen was about to shake his head and refuse the Sea God's gift with a light laugh when he discovered that the latter's terrifying Soul Power had completely taken control of his severely injured and weak body, rendering him unable to move.
Surprised eyes turned to Bo Saixi, who was clearly avoiding his gaze. Her beautiful eyes held a complex mix of emotions: adoration, guilt, and longing.
Upon opening the small bottle, a rich fragrance immediately wafted out. Bo Saixi slowly poured the Divine Water into Tang Chen's mouth.
After drinking the Divine Water, Tang Chen discovered that all the hidden injuries in his body were actually recovering, even completely healed. His previously somewhat dejected aura swelled up again, and he wielded the Clear Sky Hammer in his right hand, while the nine Soul Ring under his feet slowly rose up.
Purple, black, black, black, black, black, black, red, red!
Tang Chen had also undergone the Asura God Trial, so his Soul Ring Configuration was quite reasonable. After all, the Asura God was God King level powerhouse, and naturally wouldn't be stingy with the rewards given to his successor.
A mechanical voice echoed in Tang Chen's mind.
"The Asura's Eighth Trial has ended. Completed. Time Limit: Exceeded. Divine Trial Failed."
"Punishment: The Asura's Nine Trials have been reduced to the Auxiliary God's First Trial. The requirements for the Auxiliary God's First Trial are hereby issued."
"Mission Objective: Protect Tang San. Time Limit: Infinite. Reward: Break through to level 100."
Hearing the voice in his mind, Tang Chen chuckled and left with Bo Saixi. From the conversation just now, he already knew that Tang San was Tang Hao's son. As his most beloved grandson, and having inherited his Ring Detonation technique, it was only natural for Tang Hao to protect his son.
Clear Sky Douluo is back!
Shrek Academy, in a small grove of trees about 100 meters away.
"First Spirit Skill: Golden Lion Battle Physique; Second Spirit Skill: Golden Lion Blazing Light Bullet!"
Su He lit up two Soul Rings, one yellow and one purple, and launched a standard attack towards Tang Hao, first strengthening and then controlling them.
"A mere trick, junior. If this is all you've got, then you might as well prepare to die!"
The scorching light from the intense heat was shattered by Tang Hao's hammer. Su He leaped into the air, her Radiant Crystal Wings unfurling behind her. Her Golden Eyes of Disillusionment took in Tang Hao's every move.
Tang Hao first completed his own enhancement, then used the tree to make a second jump with the help of the great hammer. The heavy Clear Sky Hammer seemed to be incredibly light in his hands, weightless, and struck Su He's face directly.
"Sixth Spirit Skill, Earth Shattering Tremor!" Tang Hao roared, a black Soul Ring lit up on his body, and the great hammer struck towards Su He with earth-shattering power.
Despite Tang Hao's classifying him as Assault Type Soul Master, his speed is extremely impressive. If this attack lands, Su He, who hasn't activated her Mountain Dragon King Soul Bone Skill, will be severely injured, if not killed.
"Lightning Flash!" Su He shouted, his figure transforming into a bolt of lightning and disappearing instantly, reappearing behind Tang Hao.
"Third Spirit Skill, Golden Lion's Furious Aura!"
"Clear Sky Body Protection!"
The two voices seemed to be in sync, and even Su He had to admire Tang Hao's combat skills and reaction speed. She had really underestimated his strength.
It's no wonder that Tang Hao was able to fight three opponents single-handedly and even almost take Qian Xunji's life. Although he may have had the help of the Asura God, his level 95 at that time was fundamentally different from that of weak level 95 players like Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo.
Su He thought that if Tang Hao hadn't been injured, he would still be at level 95. If he encountered Chrysanthemum Ghosts, whose Soul Power had reached level 96, the latter two would only be able to fight him to a draw, unless they used Martial Soul Fusion Skill.
"You brat, prepare to die!" Tang Hao roared, raising his hammer and smashing it down towards Su He.
"The Nine Clear Sky Absolutes, the Tremor Absolute!"
"Fourth Spirit Skill, Dark Demon Sky Wrath!" Su He roared, his whole body filled with evil energy. This was the powerful force from the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger. His speed was much faster than before. He used the powerful mobility of Three Thousand Lightning Movements to play guerrilla warfare with Tang Hao.
