Tang Chen Makes the List, the Asura God's Conspiracy

Inside the Clear Sky Sect, Tang Xiao, the six elders, and all the disciples of the Clear Sky Sect were filled with righteous indignation.

This Heavenly Dao Golden Ranking had placed their ancestor, Tang Chen, on the same level as a 100,000-year-old evil soul beast. If this wasn't an insult, what was?

"Grandfather has been away from the sect for decades. How could he be in the City of Slaughter now? And why didn't Brother Hao encounter Grandfather when he was there back then?!"

Unlike the ordinary disciples of the Clear Sky Sect, Tang Xiao, as the Sect Master and a Super Douluo, naturally knew what kind of place the City of Slaughter was.

Moreover, his brother, Tang Hao, had trained in the City of Slaughter back in the day and earned the title of Slaughter God.

Meanwhile, inside the City of Slaughter, The moment the Golden Ranking made its announcement, Tang Chen's eyes instantly regained their clarity. The 100,000-year-old Blood Red Nine-Headed Bat King shrieked as it fled from his body.

"What is going on?"

He looked up, saw the broadcast about himself on the Golden Ranking, and felt puzzled.

That beast had parasitized him, causing him to act as the King of Slaughter in the City of Slaughter for so many years, his mind clouded and unclear.

But why had he inexplicably regained his senses now?

Tang Chen curiously inspected his own body, and his expression suddenly changed drastically.

"How could the mark of the Asura God have disappeared!"

Back then, in order to pursue the path to godhood for the sake of Bo Saixi's words, he had found the legacy of the Asura God's trials in the City of Slaughter, only to be backstabbed by that beast.

Now that he had regained his senses, the divine trials he had been undergoing no longer existed.

An absurd thought appeared in Tang Chen's mind.

Could it be that this Golden Ranking had restored his clarity for the sake of its own ranking? But why would that erase the mark of the Asura God?

Tang Chen sighed. He stopped dwelling on it; having been away for decades, he missed his sect dearly.

However, before returning to the sect, there was someone he had to see.

Heaven Dou Empire, Northern Province.

Tang Hao watched the Golden Ranking in the sky with excitement. His grandfather, Tang Chen, was still alive! He roared with exhilaration, his deep soul power causing the surrounding soul beasts to scatter in fear.

"Father, what's wrong?"

Tang San asked. He had also been paying attention to the Golden Ranking, but he hadn't thought much of it when he saw Tang Chen's name, only to see Tang Hao roaring with excitement over there.

"Little San, this is your great-grandfather! The one on the Golden Ranking is your great-grandfather, the strongest of our Clear Sky Sect, the Clear Sky Douluo of the previous generation. He is ranked fourth on the Golden Ranking, higher than both the Pope and the Great Enshrined of Martial Soul Hall. Once your great-grandfather returns, our Clear Sky Sect will once again be the number one sect on the continent!"

Tang San's face also lit up with joy. Having been an orphan in his past life, he cherished familial bonds deeply in this one. Furthermore, if his father was already so strong, and his great-grandfather was even stronger, wouldn't that be even better for his own development?

However, Tang Hao, standing to the side, suddenly began to curse loudly. The joy of knowing his grandfather was still alive was washed away by the anger that the Golden Ranking had only ranked his grandfather fourth.

He had inherited the title of Clear Sky Douluo from Tang Chen and considered himself the strongest of his era, while his grandfather Tang Chen was known as invincible on the ground. Yet, this Combat Power Golden Ranking had actually placed him only in fourth place.

"How is it possible that three people are ranked ahead of Grandfather? Could it still be that Great Wall Academy? How is that possible?"

Tang Hao had made up his mind to have Tang San enroll in Great Wall Academy, but that did not mean he admired the strength of that academy in the slightest.

He did not believe he was inferior to those powerhouses from Great Wall Academy on the Golden Ranking; it was merely due to his damaged meridians. With his talent, becoming the world's number one was only a matter of time.

He wanted Tang San to cultivate at that academy, utilizing his top-tier talent of Innate Full Soul Power and Twin Martial Souls to grow rapidly and inherit the position of Dean.

Then, he would merge that faction into the Clear Sky Sect. By then, the Clear Sky Sect would undoubtedly be the number one power on the continent.

Tang Hao believed his son could achieve this. After finishing his cursing at the Heavenly Dao Golden Ranking, he cast his gaze toward Xiao Wu.

Xiao Wu keenly sensed Tang Hao's gaze. Her body trembled, and she pressed herself closer to Tang San.

A Titled Douluo could discern a hundred-thousand-year soul beast in human form. Tang Hao naturally knew that Xiao Wu was a hundred-thousand-year Soft Bone Demon Rabbit.

He greatly appreciated his son's methods; being able to make a hundred-thousand-year soul beast follow him wholeheartedly was impressive.

When the right time came, Tang San could also become a Titled Douluo with a red ninth soul ring. His future would be wide open.

God Realm, Conference Hall.

Seeing the Asura God's expression suddenly change drastically, the God of Destruction asked curiously.

"Asura, what has happened to you?"

The Asura God ignored the God of Destruction. He kept his eyes tightly shut, and his divine sense began to spread out.

After a long while, the Asura God spoke with an ugly expression.

"The connection to Douluo Star has been severed. Has no one discovered this and reported it until now?"

"What!"

The Asura God's words instantly shocked the God of Destruction, the God of Goodness, and the others.

For a planet to lose contact with the God Realm for no reason was an unprecedented anomaly.

"How did you know!"

The Goddess of Life spoke urgently, but she saw that the Asura God's expression was grim, and he did not respond to her question.

He could hardly admit that he had designed a successor for his own godhood on Douluo Star, only to have the connection inexplicably severed. He had wanted to investigate the situation, but found that he could not enter Douluo Star at all.

"Our God Realm Committee must investigate the situation. Gather the gods who originated from Douluo Star and have them communicate with their believers. This is truly the first time I have seen such a strange occurrence."

Extreme North, Great Wall Academy.

Seeing Tang Chen's strange broadcast, the women began to discuss it among themselves.

"Dean, why is there a bat following this person's broadcast?"

"This is a powerhouse from the past. Do you all still remember the Clear Sky Sect that appeared on the Golden Ranking twice?"

Seeing the women nod one after another, Su Han began his explanation.

"The Clear Sky Sect was once the number one sect on the continent, but that was not because of their so-called 'number one tool martial soul' Clear Sky Hammer, but entirely because of this one man, Tang Chen."

As Su Han explained, the Golden Ranking in the sky also began to broadcast its commentary on Tang Chen.

[Clear Sky Douluo Tang Chen, the strongest Clear Sky Douluo in the history of the Clear Sky Sect. He created super-strong techniques such as the Clear Sky Nine Absolutes, bringing the Clear Sky Hammer—a martial soul that was merely top-tier—to a height it did not belong to. He achieved the status of the strongest on the continent of his time and was chosen by the Asura God to participate in the Asura God Trials.

However, due to the intervention of the Rakshasa God, he was parasitized by the Nine-Headed Bat King. The Asura God decided to abandon Tang Chen, treating him as a touchstone to pave the way for the next successor he had chosen.

He was powerful, but because of the parasitism, he lost his sanity for decades, calling himself the King of Slaughter in the City of Slaughter. Now, the Heavenly Dao Golden Ranking has restored Tang Chen's clarity to calculate his combat power. Fourth place, well-deserved!]

[Reward: All soul ring age limits increased by 20,000 years, one opportunity to choose a first-level god seat, and one insight into a God King's inheritance!]
