Tang Chen's Terror

The Asura God (divine manifestation) felt regret once again, because Tang Chen was truly suitable to inherit the Asura God Godhood.

Unfortunately, they were a bit unlucky.

Shaking his head, the Asura God (divine thought incarnation) discarded meaningless emotions, lowered his palm, and prepared to imprint the memory images that had just manifested, sealing them along with the evil aura of the Rakshasa God that he had previously absorbed, waiting for his true self to descend to the mortal realm to retrieve them.

At that moment, a slightly flippant voice entered the ears of the Asura God (an incarnation of divine thought).

"Hey! Have you two finished fighting, or are you just taking a temporary truce?"

Upon hearing these abrupt words, the Asura God (an avatar of divine thought) paused and turned his gaze in that direction.

A figure clad in menacing black armor, completely concealed from head to toe, came into view.

"Who is this?" The Asura God (divine manifestation) looked at the suddenly appearing black-armored figure with suspicion in his eyes.

Tang Chen's talent and strength were recognized by him, the incarnation of the Asura God. The one who had just fought against Tang Chen in his Slaughter King state and who, by chance, awakened Tang Chen was a descendant of the Angel God, whose strength was comparable to Tang Chen's.

What's the deal with this person who suddenly appeared?

Judging from his tone, he seemed to be on the same level as Tang Chen and the descendant of the Angel God. Even the Asura God (divine thought incarnation) could detect a hint of looking down on the two of them.

What happened next completely exceeded the expectations of the Asura God (the embodiment of divine thought).

Wu Wudi? [Rakshasa Cult]?

When the words "Rakshasa Cult" reached his ears, the Asura God (the embodiment of divine thought)'s originally indifferent expression became serious.

Upon hearing the black-armored man named Wu Wudi mention seeking out the newly emerged "Deathgod of Slaughter City" for practice, a glint flashed in the eyes of the Asura God (divine thought avatar).

Others might not know, but how could he, the incarnation of the Asura God, not know?

The existence of the "Slaughter City" is to cast a wide net and select qualified inheritors from the battles of thousands of Soul Master to undergo the God Trial.

Tang Chen is the sixth person in the ' Slaughter City ' in a thousand years to obtain the ' Deathgod Domain '. The fifth person was the previous Slaughter King, who died at his hands.

The seventh "Deathgod" recently, the young man with the same Martial Soul as Tang Chen, is actually Tang Chen's grandson?

It seems Tang Chen's bloodline is indeed quite good; perhaps it can...

The Asura God (divine thought incarnation) thought in a flash, and the scene before him changed again. Tang Chen and the black-armored man named Wu Wudi were fighting!

Surprisingly, Tang Chen lost!

They were still defeated by the opponent in the most ruthless way, in a head-on confrontation!

Even the Asura God (an incarnation of divine thought) was somewhat dazed by this scene.

Despite Tang Chen's failure to reach the Eighth Trial of the God Trial and his lack of recognition from the "Asura God Sword," Tang Chen's strength is actually the ceiling among humans in the Douluo Continent!

The reason for failing the assessment was purely because that despicable Rakshasa God lacked martial ethics and, as a dignified chief god, dared to ambush and plot against Tang Chen, a junior from the mortal realm!

If it weren't for the Rakshasa God, Tang Chen might have already successfully completed the Eighth Trial more than a decade ago, and with a 100% affinity with the Asura God, he could have started the Ninth Trial and successfully inherited the Asura God's position. The probability of him succeeding to the Asura God Godhood would be at least 98%!

Even though he failed the God Trial, Tang Chen is still one of the strongest people in this world!

So, is this guy named Wu Wudi in front of you a deity in disguise?

The Asura God (divine manifestation) narrowed his eyes, staring at the figure shrouded in ferocious black armor, attempting to determine the other party's true identity from the power displayed in his attacks.

However, to the disappointment of the Asura God (the embodiment of divine thought), he was unable to discern which deity in the Divine Realm Wu Wudi's power corresponded to.

That extraordinary power was somewhat like the God of Strength among the Second-Level God; that golden lightning amplification technique was somewhat like the Thunder God among the First-Level God.

What concerned the Asura God (his divine consciousness incarnation) most was that hideous black armor, which looked exactly like a product of the previous era's civilization on Douluo Star!

At this moment, the Asura God (divine thought incarnation) felt that this being named Wu Wudi seemed to be shrouded in a mist, making it difficult to see clearly!

"This is boring, you guys play."

The familiar voice rang out again. Tang Chen didn't know what the Asura God (divine thought avatar) beside him was thinking. Anyway, looking at the 'himself' with blood spilling from the corner of his mouth, he felt a sense of relief.

No matter how many times he recalls it, he still feels a sense of despair and helplessness in the face of that overwhelming and tyrannical divine power!

"Who is he?"

Just as Tang Chen was still reliving his past helplessness, the voice of the Asura God (an incarnation of divine thought) rang in his ears, "What is this ' Rakshasa Cult ' that brat from the Angel God's family mentioned?"

"I don't know~" Tang Chen shook his head, his gaze following the image of himself in his memory as he looked into the void where the black armor had vanished. He said in a deep voice, "I only know that he called himself Wu Wudi, and the name ' Rakshasa Cult ' was also given by himself."

"Qian Daoliu told me that when Wu Wudi first appeared, he came to my two grandsons and tested them."

"By the way, they once said that the doctrine of the Rakshasa Cult states that whoever can kill the Rakshasa God will become the new Rakshasa God!"

As Tang Chen answered, in the phantom memory, Tang Chen, who had clearly breathed a sigh of relief after Wu Wudi's departure, began to communicate with Qian Daoliu again. And Qian Daoliu's words perfectly confirmed Tang Chen's retelling.

"Whoever can kill the Rakshasa God will become the new Rakshasa God— " The Asura God (divine thought incarnation) murmured, repeating the words spoken by Tang Chen and Qian Daoliu (memory illusion).

Asura God (divine thought incarnation) wasn't too concerned about Wu Wudi causing trouble for Tang Hao, the new inheritor of the "Deathgod Domain," but he couldn't help but think more about the so-called "Rakshasa Cult" doctrine.

"Lord Asura God ~" Tang Chen turned to the side, tilted his head, and looked up at the enormous Asura God (divine manifestation), asking, "Is this Wu Wudi a deity from the Divine Realm?"

The Asura God (an incarnation of divine thought) glanced down at Tang Chen and said indifferently, "It's hard to say, but if he really comes from the Divine Realm, then it's obvious that he has violated the prohibition against gods descending to the mortal realm."

"And the consequence of violating the rules of the Divine Realm is only one: annihilation!"

The implication is that the other party's secretive behavior is likely an attempt to conceal their identity and prevent the Divine Realm from uncovering their secrets.

Tang Chen understood the meaning behind the words of the Asura God (divine thought incarnation), and for some reason, he suddenly felt relieved.

He, Tang Chen, the "Clear Sky Douluo," was Wudi with his "Clear Sky Hammer," dominating the Douluo Continent for over a hundred years. It was easier for him to accept that he was defeated by a god from the Divine Realm than by a Soul Master from the mortal realm.

"Besides this time, do you have any other information about this Wu Wudi?"

The Asura God (divine thought incarnation) was now focused on Wu Wudi, who was suspected of having smuggled himself down from the Divine Realm. As one of the three law enforcers in the God Realm Committee, second only to the two God King, he had an obligation to find out Wu Wudi's identity.

Once it is confirmed that Wu Wudi is indeed a deity in the Divine Realm, the Asura God, as the enforcer of the law, will surely punish him to uphold the dignity of the Divine Realm's rules!

Upon hearing the question from the Asura God (an avatar of divine thought), Tang Chen shook his head and frowned, saying, "That's all the information I have for now."

After a pause, a barely perceptible glint of surprise flashed in Tang Chen's eyes, and he continued, "There is a newly emerging force on the Douluo Continent whose founder has a bodyguard whose attire and fighting style are very similar to Wu Wudi..."

The Asura God (divine thought avatar) swept his gaze over Tang Chen, paused briefly on his calm face, nodded slightly, and said nothing.

Next, the Asura God (the embodiment of divine thought) did not stop developing Tang Chen's memories; instead, it accelerated the process.

Among them, when the memory illusions returned to normal speed, the two brothers Tang Hao and Tang Xiao, who were the other two witnesses who were Wu Wudi, appeared.

The Asura God (divine thought incarnation) also paid some attention to Tang Hao, who possessed the "Deathgod Domain".

But that's all. After all, compared to his grandfather Tang Chen, Tang Hao's talent for cultivation was no less than Tang Chen's, but he was far inferior in terms of temperament and wisdom.

If Tang Chen hadn't set a precedent, perhaps the Asura God (divine manifestation) would have given Tang Hao a chance to undergo the Asura God's God Trial.

Unfortunately, with Tang Chen as his grandfather, the Asura God (divine thought incarnation) was unwilling to compromise on his grandson, Tang Hao.

Although Tang Chen has already failed the God Trial, and cannot continue the Asura God Trial until he removes the evil aura of the Rakshasa God from his soul.

After all, with the interference of the Rakshasa God's evil intentions, Tang Chen was unable to gain the approval of the "Asura God Sword," and the Eighth Trial could not continue.

Not to mention that in the Ninth Trial, once the power of other deities is involved, the opponent can easily interfere again.

At that time, not only will Tang Chen, the inheritor, be in mortal danger, but the Asura God himself will also be affected to some extent.

But it's not a big problem. He just gave a hint that as long as Tang Chen is smart enough, he can always find a way to remove the evil thoughts of the Rakshasa God from his soul, whether from the descendants of the Angel God or the followers of the Sea God.

The phantom memory continued to accelerate, and soon it arrived at today.

When Tang Xiao brought Ling Yi to appear before Tang Chen and Tang Zhen, a complex emotion flashed in Tang Chen's eyes when he saw that perfect, flawless face again.

The Asura God (divine thought avatar) remained unmoved by Ling Yi's face, which possessed peak human beauty. At his level, appearance could no longer affect his emotions.

Not to mention, Ling Yi is a man.

The scenes of the memory illusion continued, from Ling Yi's diagnosis of Tang Zhen's hidden injuries to summoning his Martial Soul to treat Tang Zhen and then using healing Soul Skill on Tang Chen, progressing scene by scene.

Sensing the slight aura of ' Ultimate Life ' emanating from Ling Yi's "Green Wood Blue Silver Emperor" Martial Soul and Soul Skill, the Asura God (divine thought incarnation) looked at him properly for the first time.

'This aura... it has a hint of Life (the goddess). If she knew, perhaps she would choose him as her successor.'

"If we can gain the favor of the Goddess of Life through this, the God of Destruction should remain neutral in the upcoming judgment of the Rakshasa."

"Rakshasa, this time, you will surely die—!!!"

Just as the Asura God (divine thought avatar) was pondering this in his heart, the memory phantom had already arrived at the scene where Tang Chen was flipping through "Tool Martial Soul: Forging Secrets".

With a hint of wanting to understand the chosen one's purpose in advance, the Asura God (Goddess of Life divine thought incarnation) moved and appeared behind the memory illusion ' Tang Chen ' to watch together.

Time passed second by second. Just like the phantom of memory ' Tang Chen ', the more Asura God (divine thought incarnation) watched, the greater his surprise became. Even his usually indifferent eyes showed a barely perceptible change in color.

Unlike Tang Chen, who is still lingering in the mortal realm, the Asura God, who is now at the half-step God King Rank, has a vision that is several levels ahead of the current era of Douluo Star.

Although many of Ling Yi's ideas and concepts seem somewhat naive in his eyes, they are definitely far ahead of the current era!

His gaze shifted from the blank pages that ' Tang Chen ' had been rapidly flipping through to Ling Yi, and a thought that he had never considered before suddenly popped into the mind of the Asura God (his divine thought avatar): 'Why don't I let him try my God Trial?'

Once this thought appeared, it spread uncontrollably in the mind of the Asura God (the embodiment of divine thought).

"Anyway, once he inherits my Asura God Godhood, with the ' Asura God Sword' —this Super Divine Artifact —it won't matter what his original Martial Soul was..."

However, the next second, the Asura God (divine thought avatar) secretly shook his head: 'This is not good. This kid is not only a Soul Saint right now, but also Healing System. He has no combat power at all. The first three trials alone could kill him...'

As for Ling Yi's earlier comment that he "knew a little about martial arts," and Tang Xiao's subsequent words of praise, the Asura God (divine thought incarnation) simply ignored them.

While the Asura God (divine thought avatar) was observing Ling Yi, Tang Chen was also observing the Asura God (divine thought avatar). Although the other party's emotions were extremely restrained, the one in front of him was ultimately just a divine thought avatar.

According to Tang Chen's observation, from the moment Ling Yi summoned his Martial Soul and used his Soul Skill to the moment he took out the book "Tool Martial Soul: Forging Secrets" and showed it to the memory illusion "Tang Chen", the Asura God (divine thought incarnation) showed at least four emotional fluctuations.

From these four emotional fluctuations, Tang Chen became even more certain of Ling Yi's extraordinary abilities!

In particular, the content about "Tool Martial Soul: Forging Secrets" was able to attract the attention of the Asura God, which clearly shows that even the gods approve of some of its ideas!

So, is it also possible that he could upgrade his "Clear Sky Hammer" Martial Soul into a divine weapon?

The phantom memory continued, and soon the scene shifted to Ling Yi's response to Tang Chen's mention of the "Domain of Gods".

Ling Yi's gaze shifted to the window not far from Tang Chen, looking at the patch of blue sky, a smile playing on his lips, "... The gods that people yearn for and revere are, in the end, also beings cultivated by humans. They are simply more powerful than Soul Master, nothing more."

When Tang Chen first heard those words, he was merely amazed by Ling Yi's vision and spirit. But now, watching from an outsider's perspective, he was astonished to find that when Ling Yi spoke the last sentence, his gaze shifted slightly upwards, meeting the eyes of the Asura God (divine thought avatar) who was scrutinizing him. And then, he even nodded!

"A coincidence...?!"

Even though he was just a projection in his mental Sea of Consciousness, Tang Chen still felt goosebumps rise on his arms.

A chill ran down his spine.

On the other side, after a slight pause, the Asura God (divine thought incarnation) narrowed his eyes, which were glowing red.
