Chen Xin's Crushing Defeat, Who Exactly Are You?!

Chen Xin struggled to turn his head, looking at the young figure standing in the air with a calm expression.

At this moment, the Sword Douluo Chen Xin, who had shaken the continent with his might, felt for the first time how insignificant he truly was.

He was like an ant on the roadside facing a divine dragon from the nine heavens.

The sword path he had painstakingly cultivated for decades, and the level ninety-eight cultivation he had just broken through to, were nothing more than a joke in the eyes of the other party.

His Dao heart shattered at this moment.

Tang Xiao did not look at them again.

He withdrew his finger, and the massive Blue Silver Grass behind him slowly dissipated into the void.

He took a step, walking toward the depths of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect with an indifferent expression.

His pace was extremely slow, yet each step spanned several zhang, as if he were shrinking the earth into inches.

Amidst the ruins.

Chen Xin watched Tang Xiao's receding back, his eyes dazed.

"He... actually didn't kill us?"

He recalled the look Tang Xiao had given him just moments ago.

There was no hatred, no killing intent; there was only the indifference one feels toward something utterly trivial.

"So... in your eyes, we aren't even worth the effort of being killed?"

Chen Xin closed his eyes in agony, a murky tear sliding from the corner of his eye.

This feeling of being despised was more painful to him than death itself.

Deep within the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, inside a secret chamber sealed by heavy formations.

A blade of grass emitting a faint blue light was quietly rooted in the soil.

The leaves of this grass bore faint golden patterns, but they appeared dim and lusterless at this moment.

It was Ah Yin.

At this time, Ah Yin was imprisoned in place by the powerful force left behind by Tang Hao, unable to move an inch, her consciousness even blurred.

However.

The moment the blue-gold light erupted outside.

Ah Yin's body trembled violently.

A bloodline connection surged in her heart.

It was a tremor originating from the depths of her soul, carrying endless warmth and familiarity.

"This aura..."

A trembling voice echoed in Ah Yin's sea of consciousness.

She could clearly feel an aura, powerful to the point of being inconceivable, rapidly approaching her.

This aura shared the same origin as her own, yet it was even purer and more noble than her Blue Silver Emperor bloodline.

But.

This was not Tang San's aura.

She was very familiar with Tang San's aura; although he was also a Blue Silver Emperor, it was absolutely not this vast and sacred.

"Could it be..."

A scene she had almost forgotten in the depths of her memory suddenly surfaced in Ah Yin's mind.

It was decades ago, the child she had just given birth to.

The eldest son whom Tang Hao claimed had died at birth due to the excessive weight of his soul beast bloodline.

"It's impossible... Haotian clearly said back then that he had died..."

Ah Yin's consciousness fluctuated violently, filled with agitation and disbelief.

Yet, that call from the depths of her bloodline could not possibly be wrong.

"My child... are you still alive?"

"Is this... is this really not a hallucination?"

Ah Yin screamed frantically in her heart, and her previously dim leaves began to emit a rapid, pulsing light.

Boom!

The heavy stone door of the secret chamber turned into powder under a gentle yet unstoppable force.

A slender blue figure slowly walked into the secret chamber.

Tang Xiao looked at the Blue Silver Grass rooted in the soil, his footsteps pausing slightly.

In his vision, the Blue Silver Grass was shrouded in a layer of pale golden, sacred light.

It was the divine power seal left behind by Tang Hao, extremely sturdy; even an ordinary Title Douluo would not be able to break through it in the slightest.

However.

Tang Xiao merely flicked his hand.

The moment that pale golden barrier of divine power touched his strength, it dissolved like melting snow, dissipating without a sound.

Having broken the blockade, Tang Xiao walked up to that stalk of Blue Silver Grass.

Looking at the seemingly frail plant before him, this million-year-old soul beast emperor—who held absolute authority on the Sun Moon Continent and had built a vast empire—felt a rare trace of nervousness rise in his heart at this moment.

He slowly crouched down and extended a trembling right hand, wanting to stroke the soft leaves, yet fearing that the power in his hand might harm her.

In the end.

Tang Xiao simply held his hand suspended in mid-air, and in a voice of utmost gentleness, softly called out:

"Mother."

This single word, "Mother," echoed through the silent secret chamber.

The entire stalk of Blue Silver Grass trembled violently.

Two slender leaves rose shakily and pressed gently against the palm Tang Xiao held in the air.

A warm stream of consciousness instantly flooded into Tang Xiao's mind.

"Are... are you truly my child?"

Ah Yin's voice resonated in Tang Xiao's mind, filled with endless trembling and a sobbing tone.

Feeling the warmth radiating from his palm, the coldness in Tang Xiao's eyes melted away in an instant, replaced by boundless tenderness.

He gently stroked Ah Yin's leaves and nodded, saying:

"It is me, Mother."

"I am your eldest son, Tang Xiao."

"I did not die; I survived."

Having received Tang Xiao's personal confirmation, a turbulent storm instantly surged through Ah Yin's sea of consciousness.

"Xiao'er... my Xiao'er!"

"You are truly still alive... this is wonderful, simply wonderful..."

Ah Yin was so overcome with emotion that she became incoherent, and tiny, glowing blue lights slid off her leaves like tears of joy.

"But... Haotian clearly told me back then that you had passed away shortly after birth due to a bloodline conflict..."

"All these years, I have lived in agony, believing that I was the one who caused your death..."

Ah Yin's voice was filled with pain and confusion.

Upon hearing the name "Haotian," a flash of extreme coldness crossed the depths of Tang Xiao's eyes.

He took a deep breath and spoke to Ah Yin in a calm tone:

"Mother, he lied to you."

"I did not pass away back then, nor was there any conflict in my bloodline."

"The only reason he said that was because he loathed the soul beast bloodline within me. I will never forget the look in his eyes the day he abandoned me."

"He was lying. It was he who personally and heartlessly discarded me, a newborn, in the wilderness on the outskirts of the Star Dou Great Forest, leaving me to fend for myself."

Tang Xiao's words were piercing.

As Ah Yin heard these things, the entire stalk of Blue Silver Grass froze in place.

"What... abandoned?"

"It was him... he personally threw you away?"

An unprecedented rage erupted within Ah Yin's consciousness.

She could never have imagined that the husband who once cherished her so dearly and made such solemn vows could commit such a deranged, heartless, and cruel act.

"Even a tiger will not devour its own cubs; how could he... how could he be so cruel to his own flesh and blood!"

"Not only did he abandon you, but he also deceived me with lies for decades!"

Ah Yin recalled the resolve she felt when she sacrificed herself for Tang Hao, and the longing and guilt she had harbored for him while trapped in the darkness all these years.

Now, it seemed that all of it was nothing more than a colossal joke.
