Great Tang Empire, Chang'an City! Tang San's Shock!

"Give it to me, shatter!"

Jing suddenly increased her soul power output.

The "Power of the Blazing Sun" bestowed by the Heavenly Curtain was the light and heat of the Cosmic Origin, the purest Destruction and New Life.

Crack.

A crisp cracking sound rang out.

The Blood Red Light Shield, representing the will of the Asura God, cracked open with a gap, under the Red Robe Man's terrified gaze.

Following that, a second, a third.

"No... this is impossible! This is Lord Asura God's..."

Before his scream could finish.

Jing's palm had completely shattered the Blood Red Light Shield, and with heat that destroyed everything, pressed directly onto his Crown of the Head.

There was no suspense.

Under the burning of the True Solar Fire, the Red Robe Man's body instantly turned into a wisp of Green Smoke.

Along with his soul, his Sin, and his so-called Fluke, all were completely erased in that instant.

Only Black Ash was left on the ground.

The Blood Red Sword Shadow, which had emerged from the Void Crack, seemed enraged by being provoked by a mortal. It let out a humming sound, intending to attack Jing.

Jing suddenly looked up.

Her Platinum Blonde Short Hair danced wildly in the Energy Storm.

Her Golden Eyes, across the endless Space-time, locked onto the existence behind the Void Crack.

"Scram!"

A furious roar.

Countless golden Mirror Shards gathered in the air, transforming into a massive Light Beam, which forcefully blasted the Void Crack to smithereens.

The blood-red light dissipated.

Everything returned to peace.

Jing stood amidst the ruins, her golden armor shining brilliantly, like an invincible War Goddess.

She slowly turned around, facing the void, as if looking at everyone watching the Heavenly Curtain through a screen.

It was more like gazing at the lofty God Realm.

"I've remembered your aura."

Jing extended her hand, her fingertips stained with a trace of lingering Asura Divine Power, which she casually crushed.

"So-called Deities hiding in the gutters."

"Clean your neck and wait."

"When I reach the God Realm, I will surely sever your head and offer it to the Lost Souls of this wasteland!"

These words, transmitted through the Live Broadcast of the Heavenly Curtain, instantly spread to every Corner of the Douluo Continent.

The world was in an uproar.

Heaven Dou City, Imperial Palace Secret Chamber.

Bang!

Another expensive Rosewood Table was smashed into powder.

Tang San stood up abruptly, his Chest heaving violently. His originally Gloomy eyes were now filled with Horror.

His hands were trembling slightly.

Not out of Anger, but from a Trembling originating from the Depth of the Soul.

That Red Light just now...

He was absolutely certain.

Having stayed in the City of Slaughter for so long, he was too familiar with this Aura.

It was the power of the Asura God!

It was the power of the God Realm's strongest Enforcer, and the God Position Tang San most desired to inherit!

Was that Red Robe Man also a Chess Piece placed by the Asura God?

Or some kind of Alternative?

But that wasn't the main point.

The main point was that the woman named Jing had actually shattered the Asura God's protection head-on!

"How is this possible..."

Tang San stared intently at the Golden figure on the Heavenly Curtain, gritting his teeth.

"How can a mortal body contend with divine power?"

"Li Xin... what kind of Monsters does he have under him!"

A sense of crisis unlike any before enveloped Tang San.

He had originally thought that as long as he inherited the Sea God's God Position, or further pursued the Asura God's God Position, he would be invincible on this continent.

But now, Jing, ranked ninth, dared to declare in front of the entire world that she would kill the Asura God.

And she had actually succeeded in forcefully killing the person the Asura God wanted to protect.

This kind of strength, this kind of spirit, made Tang San feel a deep sense of powerlessness.

After resolving the trouble in the Graveyard of the Fallen, Jing did not stop at all.

She didn't even glance at the Commoners who were worshipping her.

With a flash of Golden light, she transformed into a stream of light and sped towards Chang'an City in the east.

There, there was someone she cared about.

Chang'an City, the top floor of Taibai Restaurant.

This was Li Xin's private Forbidden Land; no one could set foot here except those closest to him.

The room's decor was extremely luxurious, yet elegant.

A faint scent of dragon's saliva wafted through the air, making one forget their worries.

Li Xin lounged lazily on a Couch covered with snow-white fox fur, idly playing with a crystal-clear jade cup in his hand.

On his handsome and peerless face, there was a hint of casual indifference.

Beside him, a stunning young girl in a Maple Red Skirt knelt on the carpet.

That was Gongsun Li.

At this moment, she had shed her battlefield's heroic demeanor, revealing her girlish charm and tenderness.

Her iconic Rabbit Ears drooped slightly, trembling gently with her movements.

She held a plate of peeled grapes in her hand and was carefully feeding them to Li Xin's mouth.

"Master, that Sister Jing is so powerful."

Gongsun Li watched Jing, who was rapidly returning in the Heavenly Curtain, her big eyes full of adoration, her voice soft and sweet as if it could drip water.

Li Xin opened his mouth and took the grape, then gently bit the girl's slender fingers.

"Ah..."

Gongsun Li let out a soft cry like a kitten, her cheeks instantly flushing red.

She wanted to pull her hand back, but Li Xin grabbed her wrist.

Li Xin exerted a slight force and pulled the soft, fragrant, delicate body into his arms.

His palm slid slowly down the slender jade legs that extended from beneath the girl's skirt.

The touch was delicate and warm, like the finest mutton-fat jade.

Gongsun Li's legs were a marvel in Chang'an City.

The lines were symmetrical, firm and strong, yet without losing feminine softness.

Especially her jade feet, which were now shyly curling their toes, looking particularly alluring against the backdrop of the red straps.

Li Xin's fingers gently caressed her ankle, feeling the skin of the young girl tremble slightly from nervousness and shyness.

This perfectly measured play made Gongsun Li's breathing quicken, and a shimmering watery light appeared in her beautiful eyes.

"Jing is indeed good."

Li Xin swallowed the grape in his mouth, his gaze falling on the Heavenly Curtain that had not yet closed, a hint of playfulness flashing in his eyes.

"I just didn't expect that Asura, that old thing, to have such a long reach."

Li Xin naturally recognized that Blood Red Sword Shadow from earlier.

It was a wisp of the Asura God's Divine Sense clone.

It seemed that besides Tang San, the so-called "Child of Destiny," the Asura God was casting a wide net across the Douluo Continent, raising many Gu.

That Red Robe Fatty was likely another potential vessel, used to collect evil thoughts or as a medium for some kind of descent.

"Master, is that... a Deity?"

Gongsun Li, nestled in Li Xin's arms, let him play with her legs, and asked with some worry.

"Will Sister Jing's actions just now anger the Deities in the sky?"

Although Li Xin had always emphasized that there was no need to show Awe to Deities, in the native concept of the Douluo Continent, Deities were still inviolable existences.

Hearing this, Li Xin chuckled.

He released the hand holding Gongsun Li's ankle and instead pinched her fluffy Rabbit Ears.

"Deities?"

Li Xin's voice carried an arrogance that stemmed from his very bones.

"Just a bunch of Corpse Guardians barely clinging to existence on faith."

"So what if they're angered?"

He stood up, walked to the Window, and stood with his hands behind his back, his gaze seeming to pierce through the firmament, staring directly at the ethereal God Realm Committee.

"Jing did very well."

"Since that Asura God doesn't want to be dignified, then I'll help him be dignified."

"If those old geezers in the God Realm dare to make trouble out of this..."

A domineering aura that scorned the world erupted from Li Xin, the absolute confidence of a God King level expert.

"Then I don't mind starting a God War ahead of schedule."

"I'll kill that so-called Asura God along the way, and then burn down those broken palaces in the God Realm."

He said these words with such ease, as if he were talking about crushing an ant.

Gongsun Li, watching Li Xin's tall back from behind him, her eyes filled with admiration that was about to overflow.

This was her Master.

This was the King of Chang'an City.

Before this man, even the gods in the heavens had to bow their heads.

"Master is the most amazing!"

Gongsun Li jumped off the Couch and ran behind Li Xin with her blood-pumping long legs, hugging his waist tightly from behind.

Her Cheek pressed against his broad back, feeling his powerful heartbeat.

"No matter where Master goes, Ali will follow."

"Even if it's to kill my way into the God Realm, Ali will dance to entertain Master!"

Li Xin turned around, looking at the silly lass in front of him whose eyes were entirely on him. The coldness in his eyes receded, replaced by a gentle warmth.

"Don't worry."

"As long as I'm here, this sky won't fall."

"As for Tang San..."

Li Xin looked in the direction of Heaven Dou City, a cold arc rising at the corner of his mouth.

"If he's sensible, then fine. If he's not, it's time to send him to reunite with his teachers and classmates."

Just then.

The image on the Heavenly Curtain changed again.

The inventory for the next powerhouse was about to begin.

And the powerhouses of the entire continent were still savoring Jing's earth-shattering strike just now, as well as the declaration that had awed the Deities.

Especially the several enshrined elders far away on Sea God Island and in Martial Soul Hall, their hearts were greatly shaken.

Because they knew better than anyone what that Red Light represented.

This world was truly about to change.

God Realm, Asura God Temple.

The originally Deathly Still hall was now violently trembling.

It was the rage of the Supreme Deity being vented.

A scarlet divine power storm raged within the hall, grinding countless decorations that had survived the ancient god war into dust.

"Scoundrel!"

A furious roar echoed in the vast hall.

The blood pool in the center of the hall was churning like boiling water, countless Vengeful Souls wailing within, yet being suppressed by an even more terrifying Killing Intent.

The Asura God sat high on a Divine Throne built from bones, his Demonic Pattern Armor exuding a suffocating pressure.

Just now, he had felt a wisp of his Divine Sense, which he had cast down to the mortal realm, being forcibly erased.

It wasn't just erased.

It was an extremely arrogant provocation, as if someone had slapped him fiercely across the endless Void.

"Mortal..."

The Asura God's eyes, burning with blood flames, stared fixedly in the direction of the mortal realm.

He wanted to see clearly who had such audacity.

He wanted to personally descend divine punishment and crush that ignorant ant along with its plane.

However.

When his divine sense attempted to penetrate the Realm Barrier, it struck an invisible barrier.

This was not the original world law of the Douluo Continent.

It was a more ancient, more mysterious power, one that even he could not decipher.

The Heavenly Curtain.

That damned list that suddenly appeared above the Douluo Continent.

It was like an absolute prohibition, completely isolating the God Realm's prying eyes from the lower realm.

Asura God's fingers dug fiercely into the armrest of his Divine Throne, hard God Bone turning to powder between his fingers.

He was now like a blind man with his eyes covered.

He knew someone was provoking his authority, yet he couldn't even see the other party's face.

"Good, good, good."

"Since this Tattered Curtain is blocking the way, This Seat will find another method."

The Killing Intent in Asura God's eyes receded, replaced by a deeper, more sinister malice.

He raised his hand, and a Dark Red Rune condensed in his palm.

Since his true form could not descend and his divine sense could not probe, he would contact the most crucial Chess Piece he had already placed in the lower realm.

Heaven Dou City, Imperial Palace Secret Chamber.

The air was filled with a suffocating stillness.

Tang San slumped on the ground, his clothes soaked with cold sweat.

Just moments ago, the scene transmitted from the Heavenly Curtain had almost shattered his Dao Heart.

Even Asura God's protection had been broken.

That woman named Jing was unreasonably strong.

And how terrifying must Li Xin, who stood behind Jing, be?

A deep sense of powerlessness coiled around his heart like a venomous snake.

Just then.

Beside the Sea God's Trident mark on Tang San's brow, a strange red light suddenly lit up.

That red light instantly overshadowed the Sea God's Azure, drilling into his mind with a heavy Bloody Smell.

"Tang San."

A majestic and chilling voice exploded in the Depth of his Soul.

Tang San trembled all over, as if he had grasped the last Lifesaving Straw, and suddenly prostrated himself on the ground.

"Asura God, Lord!"

His voice was trembling, not only out of Awe, but also because he saw hope.

"Did you see everything that happened in the lower realm just now?"

The Asura God's voice had no emotional fluctuation, yet it made Tang San's scalp tingle.

Tang San swallowed a mouthful of saliva and quickly responded:

"I saw it... Lord, that Red Robe Emissary was killed."

"A bunch of trash."

The Asura God snorted coldly, shaking Tang San until his Seven Orifices bled.

"This Seat is currently isolated from Perception by that damned Heavenly Curtain and cannot see the specific situation."

"Tell This Seat, who did it?"

Tang San suddenly raised his head, a trace of venomous light flashing in his bloodshot eyes.

The opportunity had arrived.

This was a perfect opportunity to kill with a borrowed knife!

Although Li Xin was strong, how could he be stronger than a true God King?

Tang San took a deep breath, adjusted his emotions, and made his voice sound filled with grief, indignation, and grievance.

"Reporting to Lord, it was... someone from the Great Tang Empire!"

"That Li Xin, relying on his own powerful strength, doesn't put you in his eyes at all."

"The woman who made the move just now is called Jing, and she is Li Xin's Subordinate."

"Before they made their move, they also openly insulted you, saying... saying you were a Rat in the Gutter, a Corpse Guardian..."
