"So many years have passed, so many years have passed, and Xi Xi is actually with that old Qian Daoliu, and they have such a grown son, and she has even obtained the Sea God Inheritance. I left the sect and put all the burden on Zhen'er's shoulders. I wonder how Zhen'er is doing?"
Because the goddess was taken away, the proportion of love in Tang Chen's heart greatly decreased, and the proportion of family affection in his heart greatly increased. He recalled his son, who suffered internal injuries and was weak and sickly because he failed to learn the Great Sumeru Hammer. His thoughts were complicated.
If Tang Zhen's life had come to an end due to internal injuries during the decades he had been away from the Clear Sky Sect, and his father had not even seen his son one last time before his death, nor attended his son's funeral, but instead indulged in debauchery in the Slaughter City, his inner guilt would have been overwhelming.
But when he thought that his efforts over the years since leaving the Clear Sky Sect had not been in vain, that he had not only completed the Asura Eight Trials, but also gained the recognition of the Asura Divine Sword, he felt somewhat gratified.
Although his body was severely corroded by the dual poisons of the Blood-Red Nine-Headed Bat King and Bloody Mary, and he had become a skinny monkey due to excessive indulgence, as Limit Douluo, his foundation was still incredibly strong. In terms of age, he was currently in his prime. As long as he could use the medicinal bath provided by the Breaking Clan under the Clear Sky Sect to remove the poisons from the Blood-Red Nine-Headed Bat King and Bloody Mary from his body, his body would return to its peak. Then he would still have a chance to undergo the final test of the Asura and inherit the Asura God Trial.
If he is truly too deeply poisoned, and even the Breaking Clan has no way to help him, then he will hand over the Asura Divine Sword to his most prized grandson, Hao'er. Tang Hao is a genius that the Clear Sky Sect has only seen once in a hundred years, and his talent is in no way inferior to his. He will surely be able to pass the Asura God Trial just like him, and then, under the guidance of someone who has been through it all, become the Asura God!
The Clear Sky Sect became the Clear Sky God Sect!!!
Half a day later.
Tang Chen arrived at the Clear Sky Mountain Range. Although decades had passed, he was still very familiar with the Clear Sky Sect's location, because he had personally chosen that mountain range and built the incomparably glorious Clear Sky Sect in the world.
Before even reaching the former entrance to the Clear Sky Sect, Tang Chen's expression changed. The two human-shaped statues holding large hammers that once stood at the entrance were gone, and the two spots where the statues used to be were now overgrown with weeds.
The mountain gate of the Clear Sky Sect was nowhere to be found, and the long stone steps leading to the Clear Sky Sect were damaged in many places and overgrown with weeds. It was obvious that they had not been maintained for many years.
Tang Chen's immense spiritual power, at the demigod level, immediately swept across the entire Clear Sky Mountain Range. When he observed the situation inside the Clear Sky Mountain Range, his state of mind, which had been turbulent since he reached the Limit Douluo, except for being rejected by Bo Saixi and learning that Bo Saixi had married someone else, fluctuated violently for the first time.
The former Clear Sky Sect headquarters, the sect he had personally built, exuding domineering power, standing tall and majestic, was now in ruins, littered with broken stones of varying sizes. Where these stones should have been were the Clear Sky Main Hall, the disciples' residences, the disciples' training grounds, and so on. Judging from the state of the place, it looked as if someone had dismantled all the buildings of the Clear Sky Sect and taken away the building materials.
The Haotian Sect's building materials are all high-quality stones such as marble and granite, as well as rare metals and mixed metals. Would Qian Daoliu let these materials go to waste? These materials are not needed to build the inner city of Wuhun City, and they can also be used to build the outer city of Wuhun City. Back then, the Yu clan members took them all away.
All that remained were some small wooden cabins and thatched huts, which, over the decades, were all destroyed by the powerful natural environment of the Clear Sky Mountain Range.
The entire Clear Sky Mountain Range was practically deserted, not even a beggar. After all, the Clear Sky Sect was built dozens of miles away from Heaven Dou City, deep in the mountains, far from the city. Even the nearest residence required climbing hundreds of flights of stairs. What kind of despair would a beggar have to be, planning to starve to death, to go into this place?
Even if other major families and sects coveted the rich spiritual energy of this mountain range, which made it an excellent cultivation environment, none of them dared to usurp it due to the Spirit Hall and the unknown fate of the Daily Douluo Tang Hao.
"Damn it! Who, who is it! Who dares to attack my Clear Sky Sect!? Qian Daoliu, could it be you?!"
Tang Chen roared. Seeing the situation in the Clear Sky Mountain Range, how could he not know that his sect had encountered a calamity? He immediately thought of the Spirit Hall, the only place on the continent that could pose a threat to the Clear Sky Sect.
"It wasn't me, but you could also say it was me."
As soon as the words were spoken, Qian Daoliu's voice rang out.
A beam of holy light suddenly descended from the dark, cloud-covered sky. Qian Daoliu his hands behind his back, a smile playing on his lips, looked at Tang Chen, whose eyes were bloodshot, and said, "Old friend, it's been a long time. It seems you've had a rough time these past few years on the path to godhood. You've become such a tall, thin guy. Is it due to long-term malnutrition?"
Upon seeing Qian Daoliu, Tang Chen's bloodshot eyes blazed with a light that seemed to spit blood. "Qian Daoliu, you say it's you, but it's not you. What does this mean?! What has become of my Clear Sky Sect?!"
"The Clear Sky Sect has been wiped out."
"What!?" Tang Chen roared, his eyes bloodshot and his breath coming in ragged gasps. He charged out like a cannonball, blood-red light gathering in his hand as he gripped the Asura Divine Sword. He unleashed a devastating slash without holding back.
Having completed the Asura Eight Trials and been fully recognized by the Asura Divine Sword, Tang Chen's use of this sword was on a completely different level compared to when the King of Slaughter used it. In terms of power, this sword strike was infinitely close to the divine level, and because it was a sword cleaving attack, its offensive power should have reached the divine level.
If Qian Daoliu were still the High Priest and his Martial Soul hadn't been attached to him, he would indeed be in mortal danger facing this sword. However, he had already condensed his Tenth Soul Ring and become a god at level 100. With Tang San's help, he had summarized and explored the path ahead and made some small breakthroughs. Therefore, facing this sword with attack power reaching the god level, he simply turned slightly to dodge it.
Qian Daoliu continued with a smile, explaining, "At least what I meant by that previous statement is that I didn't destroy the Clear Sky Sect, but it was indeed Destruction under my command. Don't go to that mountain range either; your clansmen there are all dead. Now, on this continent, your Tang family bloodline should still exist: you, Tang Hao, and Tang Hao's son, your great-grandson Tang San. However, all three of you are only half-dead."
