Three Realms Judgment Sword, Tang Chen's Return

"What happened in the lower realm, Asura?"

The first to arrive were Evil and Kindness, with Destruction and Life following close behind.

"Everyone, that fragment of my divine consciousness was no match for the Golden Dragon King." Asura slowly revealed the truth.

This revelation severely shocked the four God Kings present.

"Asura, you must be joking. With your strength, that fragment of divine consciousness should at least have possessed the power of a First-Level God."

"Although the Golden Dragon King is immensely powerful, his origin was damaged, and less than a tenth of his strength remained. How could your fragment of divine consciousness possibly have been unable to defeat him?"

The Kindness Goddess found it hard to believe. Not only her—the other three God Kings did not believe it either.

"How could I joke about something like this? The Golden Dragon King must have obtained some heaven-defying opportunity in the lower realm. His origin has recovered to at least seventy percent!"

The Asura God King slammed his hand against the table. Having already suffered a setback at Chu Yuan's hands, and now being continually doubted, his emotions were beginning to spiral out of control.

"If that is the case, then sending ordinary gods into the lower realm likely will not cause any substantial harm to the Golden Dragon King."

Destruction leaned back in his chair and rubbed his brow.

If any one of the five of them could descend to the lower realm, they could kill the Golden Dragon King. But the problem was that they were God Kings.

Douluo Star was too fragile to withstand the aura of any one of the five of them.

Therefore, after descending to the lower realm, they would need to suppress their strength to the level of a First-Level God. The strength of a First-Level God was barely within what Douluo Star could endure.

But the problem was that, at the same level as First-Level Gods, they might not be the Golden Dragon King's match.

Besides, they knew the Golden Dragon King all too well. He was an utter madman.

For all they knew, he might drag all five of them down with him. At a critical moment, they might be able to forcibly restore their strength to the God King level.

But if they did so, Douluo Star would collapse as well.

"Asura, I think your inheritor could be the best candidate to kill the Golden Dragon King in the lower realm."

At that moment, the Evil God King spoke.

"For the five of us to descend and kill the Golden Dragon King would not be a good choice. If your inheritor inherits your divine position, then even if he is no match for the Golden Dragon King at that time—"

"We can have your inheritor approach within a hundred meters of the Golden Dragon King when he becomes a god, then forcibly draw both the Golden Dragon King and your inheritor into the God Realm."

Evil paused after speaking and looked at the expressions of the other four. Only after seeing that they were deep in thought did he continue.

"Once the Golden Dragon King is drawn into the God Realm, we can set up the Three Realms Judgment Sword and eliminate this scourge once and for all. What do you think?"

Upon hearing about the Three Realms Judgment Sword, the four God Kings' eyes immediately lit up.

The Three Realms Judgment Sword was a fusion divine skill led by the Asura God and activated by combining the powers of the Kindness Goddess and Evil God. It had been developed specifically to restrain the Dragon God's two incarnations.

The reason they had not set up the Three Realms Judgment Sword back then was because Chu Yuan had escaped too quickly. Furthermore, they had not expected him to break the seal of the Divine Forbidden Land.

"With the Three Realms Judgment Sword and the four of you, the Golden Dragon King certainly will not be able to withstand it. I think this plan is feasible."

The Asura God King was the first to state his position. The Three Realms Judgment Sword had originally been prepared specifically to restrain the Dragon God's two incarnations after his death.

"It can work, but your inheritor, Asura, must complete the God Exam and inherit the Asura God's divine position as soon as possible. Otherwise, if too much time passes and the Golden Dragon King fully recovers—or even grows stronger—unexpected complications may arise."

For the future safety of the God Realm, the Destruction God King was unusually no longer rigid this time.

"Ten years. Asura, your inheritor only has ten years. Within ten years, he must inherit your divine position."

"Otherwise, this method can only be abandoned. At that point, we can only forsake Douluo Star, forcibly descend to the lower realm, set up the Three Realms Judgment Sword there, and eliminate the Golden Dragon King."

The ten years Evil spoke of naturally meant ten years on Douluo Continent. Otherwise, by the time they acted, the flowers would have withered.

The moment the proposal was approved, the Asura God immediately returned to Asura God's Temple and began communicating with his inheritance ground on Douluo Continent, Slaughter City.

The King of Slaughter in Slaughter City had once been his inheritor. Although his mind had now been corrupted by the Blood-Red Nine-Headed Bat King—

Asura still had a way to restore Tang Chen's sanity. The reason he had not done so before was that, to him, Tang Chen was no longer worthy of inheriting his divine position.

On Douluo Continent, within Slaughter City.

The current King of Slaughter, Tang Chen, was sitting on the Slaughter Throne with his eyes closed, resting his mind.

But suddenly, a blood-red radiance erupted from his body. At the same time, an Asura Demon Sword mark, shrunk countless times over, slowly emerged on his forehead.

"No! No! Don't erase my consciousness!"

At that moment, Tang Chen collapsed painfully to his knees. A transparent soul was forced out from the Asura Demon Sword mark on his forehead, and after emerging, it was enveloped in blood-red light before directly turning into a wisp of white smoke.

"I... what happened to me?"

Tang Chen lay on the ground, sweat sliding down from his forehead drop by drop.

"Tang Chen."

At that moment, the Asura God's voice suddenly exploded in Tang Chen's mind.

"Asura... Asura God?"

Tang Chen looked around. After failing to see the familiar figure, he suddenly remembered the Divine Artifact Asura Demon Sword he had obtained through the God Exam.

Tang Chen had met the Asura God while undergoing the Asura God Exam.

"Tang Chen, there is no need for confusion. I returned you to this body. At the same time, I need you to do something for me. If you do it well, then even if you cannot inherit my divine position, I will find you the divine position of a Second-Level God."

The Asura God's voice sounded again. Upon hearing this, a trace of desolation appeared on Tang Chen's face.

But upon hearing that he still had a chance to become a god, that trace of desolation immediately vanished.

"Asura God, please tell me."

Meanwhile, at the bottom of Star Lake in the Star Dou Forest,

"How is this body, you two?"

Chu Yuan looked at the body before him, half radiating scorching heat and half emanating extreme cold, with a hint of satisfaction in his eyes.

He had the Ice and Fire Dragon Kings

absorb the Rank Three God's divine soul and then control this body. The process had gone far more smoothly than he had expected.

Although the Rank Three God's body had nearly exploded during the process, fortunately, he noticed in time and acted quickly enough to preserve it.

"Too weak. Neither of us dares exert much force while inside this body."

The Ice Dragon King's voice rang out, yet the Rank Three God did not open his mouth.

"But it is acceptable. At least we can still fight like this."

Chu Yuan nodded upon hearing that. Although the Ice and Fire Dragon Kings could currently control this body only to the level of a Rank Three God at most, that was still better than nothing.

"How long can you control this body now?" Chu Yuan asked.

"At most, we can control this body for three months. After three months, the other one must take over control of this body, and recovery likewise requires three months."

Chu Yuan nodded. This duration had not exceeded his expectations by much.
