The Former Gods of Kindness and Evil Court Disaster
Compared to the "weak point" in his memory that could be breached with special techniques or even by force, the barrier before him was like a completely different place!
"How... is this possible..." Tang San murmured in disbelief.
In his past life, he clearly remembered that due to the influence of ancient spatial turbulence and the neglect of the God Realm Committee in the peripheral areas, this place had always been one of the places with relatively weak defenses that could be used to escape!
He had no idea that, in the eyes of a certain God of Destruction had seen fragments of his memories and was filled with dread about spatial turbulence, any possible loophole in the Divine Realm was an intolerable threat.
During this period, the God of Destruction mobilized his subordinate Gods of Original Sin and some of the spatial law deities who followed him, and carried out several rounds of frantic reinforcement and screening of the entire Divine Realm barrier with almost obsessive intensity.
Not only in this place, but almost every node that might have hidden dangers was reinforced and protected with the Destruction Divine Power.
Let alone Tang San's current half-crippled state, even First-Level God in his prime would find it nearly impossible to forcibly break through this barrier without alerting the central authority of the Divine Realm!
"No... it's impossible! Open it! Open it!!!"
After a brief period of stunned silence came hysterical madness.
Tang San lunged at the solid barrier, desperately channeling the remaining Soul Power within him, and slammed his palms hard against the shimmering, colorful barrier!
Bang! Bang! Bang!
A dull thud echoed, the barrier remained unmoved, but the recoil caused his already severely injured body to cough up several more mouthfuls of blood.
"Aaaaaah--! Mysterious Jade Hand! Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track! Purple Demon Eye! Break!"
He acted like a madman, pushing the Tang Sect Secret Arts to their limit, using fists, palms, fingers, legs, and even his head to ram them! However, the barrier was more solid than anyone could imagine, not even causing a ripple.
"Hidden Weapon! I still have Hidden Weapon!" He frantically reached for the Hidden Weapon he carried and hurled them at the barrier as if they were free.
Scalpel, dart, Godly Zhuge Crossbow...
Jingle bells!
Various metal Hidden Weapon struck the barrier, producing crisp but powerless sounds. They were either deflected or completely dissolved by the divine power flowing across the barrier, leaving not even a scratch.
Tang San slumped to the ground, the last glimmer of light in his eyes extinguished.
All the struggles, all the scheming, all the patience—at this moment, they all seemed like a joke.
Just then, a cold, violent, and endlessly murderous divine power swept towards the direction he came from!
In the sky, a figure enveloped in a dense crimson divine light was hurtling through the air at an astonishing speed! That figure was none other than the Asura God, enraged and still wounded but with a murderous intent!
He's here.
Tang San raised his head, looking at the approaching blood-red figure, a smile that seemed to be both a cry and a laugh on his face.
····································
Enraged, the Asura God gave chase with all his might, his undisguised, violent aura soaring into the sky and shaking the surrounding area.
Such intense energy fluctuations and unbridled killing intent immediately alarmed many powerful beings in the Divine Realm.
Almost at the same time that the Asura God arrived, several equally powerful divine energy fluctuations also descended one after another.
The space distorted slightly, and the first to appear was the God of Destruction of destruction. He raised an eyebrow and his dark purple eyes swept across the scene— the Asura God, whose aura was unstable and whose face was tinged with ashen, and Tang San, who was slumped in front of the barrier.
Immediately afterwards, a soft, emerald-green divine light rippled out, and the figure of the Life Goddess quietly appeared.
She immediately noticed the slightly disordered aura of the Asura God, and her beautiful eyes instantly filled with worry. She subconsciously wanted to step forward.
The newly appointed Godess of Kindness and Evil God also arrived together.
"Oh, what's going on here?" The God of Destruction crossed his arms, his tone filled with undisguised mockery and ridicule, breaking the tense atmosphere. "The God of Law Enforcement of the Divine Realm, the Asura God, why are you acting like you've been struck by explosive divine lightning, so furious, chasing after someone... um?"
He paused deliberately, his divine sense sweeping over Tang San, confirming his utter weakness. His laughter grew even more arrogant, "Chasing such a half-dead mortal ant all the way to this godless border? This truly broadens my horizons! Hahahaha!"
He laughed wildly and arrogantly, showing no respect whatsoever to the Asura God.
Upon hearing this, the Life Goddess glanced disapprovingly at the God of Destruction, but his attention remained primarily on the Asura God, and he asked softly, "Asura, you... are you injured? Is it serious? What happened?"
The Asura God's face was already grim, but now it was so dark it seemed to drip water. Being publicly mocked by the God of Destruction was already humiliating, but what he couldn't bear to mention was the reason for his injury—he had been ambushed by a prisoner he considered worthless, a prisoner still bound by a restriction within his body, using a low-level Hidden Weapon, and had even nearly struck a vital spot! If this got out, what would become of his dignity Asura God?
He snorted coldly, avoiding the concerned gaze and questions of the Life Goddess, and stared intently at Tang San: "This fiend is treacherous and cunning, with malicious intentions. I will deal with him personally! Those who are not involved, step aside!"
However, the God of Destruction's gaze bypassed the Asura God and landed precisely on the dazzling, incredibly sturdy spatial barrier behind Tang San, as well as the scattered remnants of various Hidden Weapon on the ground that had attempted to attack the barrier in vain.
Attack the boundary?
The God of Destruction's eyes instantly sharpened to a razor-sharp edge, his previous mocking expression vanishing without a trace, replaced by a chilling, almost tangible, murderous intent! This area was one of the key areas he had reinforced after seeing certain fragments of "future memories"! How could a fallen wretch, a prisoner, know about this place? And why was he attacking it so desperately? Where was he trying to escape to? Or... was he trying to open something?
Considering the unpredictability that Tang San's "outsider" status might bring, alarm bells rang in the God of Destruction's mind. Any attempt to breach his carefully fortified defenses, or to invite unknown external threats or internal instability, would touch his absolute sore spot!
The God of Destruction's voice deepened. He stepped forward, and dark purple Destruction Divine Power began to slowly rise around him, locking onto Tang San. "I'm afraid it's not that simple, is it? The Asura God? This guy has quite the audacity, and his ambition is even greater... He actually dares to set his sights on the barrier of the Divine Realm!"
His gaze toward Tang San was devoid of any of the previous contempt or mockery; only pure and chilling killing intent remained.
The Life Goddess looked at the Asura God, then at the God of Destruction, and finally his gaze fell on the dying Tang San, his beautiful face filled with confusion and unease.
···········································
Just then, another golden streak of light descended from the sky, carrying a hint of haste and surprise, and landed here.
It was Qian Renxue, Angel God had recently become a god and was still trying to adapt to the rules and vast information of the Divine Realm.
She was surrounded by pure and blazing Angel Divine Power, her golden eyes quickly scanning the scene.
Finally, her gaze settled on Tang San, who was leaning against the solid barrier, slumped on the ground, his breath weak yet still striking.
The scene before her eyes left Qian Renxue feeling bewildered.
"What... happened here?" Qian Renxue asked softly, her gaze instinctively turning to the relatively familiar Dongfang Yao. In her opinion, although this guy was sometimes talkative and eccentric, he seemed easier to communicate with than the other God Kings.
Dongfang Yao immediately perked up when Qian Renxue asked him a question.
He leaned closer and, speaking rapidly yet clearly using his divine power, relayed his observations and deductions. "Look, see that? That ugly monster is Tang San, the Fallen Soul Master who was imprisoned by the Asura God. I don't know what underhanded method he used, but he seems to have injured the Asura God and escaped all the way here, trying to break through the boundary to escape, only to run into the boundary reinforced by the Destruction God King, hahaha!" Dongfang Yao's tone carried a hint of schadenfreude.
"Then the Asura God came chasing after us, his murderous aura palpable, and the Destruction God King and the others were also drawn in by the commotion. Now... well, that's how it is."
Upon hearing Qian Renxue's golden eyes, but what followed was a deeper sense of doubt and... an indescribable feeling of absurdity.
She furrowed her brows slightly, her beautiful face filled with confusion, and her gaze swept over the disheveled Tang San again. "I still don't understand."
"Given what Tang San did in the mortal realm—slaughtering living beings, betraying human ethics, and even... devouring his master."
With each word Qian Renxue spoke, her voice grew colder, "It's already an outrage against heaven and earth, a crime deserving the wrath of both gods and men. Back in the mortal realm, he was already a wanted criminal, a villain whom everyone wanted to kill."
She paused, her gaze slowly shifting from Tang San to the Life Goddess and the God of Destruction, finally settling on the increasingly grim-faced Asura God. She asked the question that had lingered in her mind for so long, "Why, in the Divine Realm, have such notorious evil deeds and corrupted souls not only escaped due judgment and punishment, but instead... survived until now?"
Almost simultaneously, the Life Goddess and the God of Destruction both turned their attention to the unstable, dark red figure in the center of the arena.
Asura God.
Chapter 354 The Former Godess of Kindness and the Evil God's Reckless Acts
Back then, it was the Asura Divine Power (or rather, relied on his authority as a God of Law Enforcement) to take away and rescue Tang San, who was clearly corrupt and on the verge of collapse, claiming that he would personally "examine" the abnormality in him and imprison him deep within the Asura God Temple.
For this reason, the Asura God even went so far as to join forces with the Life Goddess to fight against the opposing God of Destruction.
Under the watchful eyes of all the gods, the Asura God felt a faint pain returning to the thin mark on his forehead.
Qian Renxue's questioning was essentially dredging up and re-exposing the dark history he had painstakingly tried to cover up, especially since Tang San had just ambushed him, which was a slap in the face.
How could the Asura God defend himself? Should he publicly admit that he protected this wicked creature because he coveted the secrets about a higher realm that its "variable" identity might bring? Or should he admit that he had made a secret deal with this creature, or even tacitly approved of some of its actions? No, absolutely not!
The Asura God considered himself the supreme God of Law Enforcement- king of the Divine Realm, in charge of judgment and order; he at least had some sense of shame.
"Hmph! As God Realm Enforcer, I act with my own considerations and rules! Tang San does indeed have many abnormalities. I spared his life to thoroughly investigate the root cause and prevent future troubles. This is my duty!"
This response downplayed the issue, attempting to repackage the previous claim of "protection" as "needed for investigation" in a desperate attempt to save face.
But how could the gods present not hear the stiffness and lack of confidence in his words?
When the Asura God once again turned his gaze to Tang San, who was slumped in front of the barrier, barely breathing but still alive, the killing intent in his eyes had solidified into a tangible form, leaving no trace of it unreserved.
All he wanted now was to erase Tang San from this world immediately!
It wasn't just because of the ambush from earlier, but also because of fear—fear that his shady plot with Tang San would be exposed!
Tang San is now in dire straits and there's a high probability he'll expose everything and drag himself down with him.
The consequences of that insane plan to devour the divine essence of other god-kings and forcibly break through would be unimaginable if this group of new-generation gods, who are so "righteous" as to be almost evil and who have no regard for feelings or unspoken rules, were to find out!
Just look at Qian Renxue and the Sea God!
Qian Renxue's ancestor, the first-generation Angel God, was on good terms with the Sea God, but when Qian Renxue sought revenge, did she ever consider the slightest bit of her ancestor's feelings?
Even First-Level Main God met such an end. If the Asura God is confirmed to have colluded with Tang San for personal gain and plotted to seize the divine status of other god-kings... even as a god-king, his fate would probably be a hundred times more miserable than that of the Sea God!
The God Realm Committee will have no place to stand, and may even be attacked by all sides, stripped of its divine status, and suppressed for eternity!
They must be silenced!
As soon as this thought crossed his mind, the Asura God continued, "Now that I have investigated and found the results, the sinner Tang San can naturally be executed."
After saying that.
The Asura God stepped forward abruptly, his voice carrying an undeniable air of judgment, "You were born God of Evil, cultivating through slaughter, disregarding all human ethics! As a disciple, you dared to commit the heinous act of devouring your master! Furthermore, you colluded with the Abyssal Plane, betraying the Douluo homeland that nurtured you; your crimes are heinous and beyond description!"
With each word he spoke, the crimson divine light emanating from his body intensified, and the overwhelming killing intent mixed with the pressure of a divine king made the air in this area thick and heavy.
"Today, in the name of the God of Law Enforcement, I will utterly annihilate you, this scourge of the world! To prevent you from continuing to wreak havoc on the world and tarnish the pure name of the Divine Realm!"
Before he could finish speaking, he had already launched his attack!
The immense Asura Divine Power converged wildly, condensing above his head into a massive, blood-red sword that blotted out the sky! Ancient killing runes were engraved on the blade.
He went all out with this attack, even aggravating his internal injuries, aiming to kill Tang San, along with any remaining traces of his soul, from this universe!
The crimson giant sword, carrying a world-destroying force, locked onto Tang San, who was as insignificant as a speck of dust below, and crashed down!
This sudden and violent killing caught all the gods present completely off guard!
What's going on? Why did the Asura God suddenly make a move?
A look of surprise and confusion flashed in the eyes of the God of Destruction.
Not long ago, the Asura God risked a direct confrontation to protect Tang San, claiming that he had "important value".
How could his attitude change so drastically in the blink of an eye, his murderous intent so fierce and resolute? He even disregarded his injuries and acted suddenly in full view of everyone?
No...
Rather than physically judging someone, the God of Destruction felt this was more like silencing them.
