"Hmph! Putting on airs!"
"Get down here!"
Tang Chen roared, and the Clear Sky Hammer in his hand instantly expanded as it smashed toward Chu Yuan.
He, Tang Chen, was a Rank-Ninety-Nine Peerless Douluo and had every right to act so arrogantly. What right did some brat spouting nonsense have to put on such airs?
In midair, Chu Yuan slowly raised one hand and slightly extended his index finger.
At once, a golden shockwave shot fiercely from his fingertip, piercing straight through the Clear Sky Hammer hurtling toward him.
Pfft!
The destruction of the Clear Sky Hammer caused a backlash that made Tang Chen, a Peerless Douluo, spit out a mouthful of blood.
At the same time, his previously ruddy face turned deathly pale, and his aura withered to its lowest point.
Seeing Tang Chen in such a state from the air, Chu Yuan raised an eyebrow.
"You keep saying that the God Realm's rules cannot be violated, yet that old bastard Asura violates them as casually as if it were nothing."
His attack just now had been an ordinary strike, as ordinary as could be, but its power was still far beyond what a mere Peerless Douluo like Tang Chen could withstand.
The only reason Tang Chen was still alive was Asura's intervention. Besides, Chu Yuan recognized the Asura Demon Sword mark on Tang Chen's forehead.
"Great-Grandfather!" Tang San's face filled with panic as he quickly ran before Tang Chen, dropping to one knee and helping him up.
"Tang San, this god will hold back the Golden Dragon King shortly and teleport you to Slaughter City. That is this god's inheritance ground. He will not be able to find it."
At that moment, Asura God's voice rang out in Tang San's mind.
Golden Dragon King!?
Tang San blankly raised his head to look at Chu Yuan. He had always believed that the Golden Dragon King was merely a Soul Beast, yet even Senior Asura God, whose strength was unfathomable, could only speak of holding him back rather than defeating him.
Boom!
Suddenly, the Asura Demon Sword mark on Tang Chen's forehead bloomed with an eerie blood-red radiance.
In an instant, a suit of dark-red armor appeared over Tang Chen's body. At the same time, he held a longsword identical to the Asura Demon Sword, though it lacked the Asura Demon Sword's overwhelming killing intent.
"Go!"
Tang Chen's voice was hoarse. He stretched out a hand and violently shoved Tang San behind him. At the same time, a Space Rift opened behind Tang San and directly sucked him inside.
"Go? You really do not seem to have any regard for this king."
Chu Yuan's voice was cruel. At some point, a brilliant golden spear had appeared in his hand.
The spearhead turned and aimed straight at Tang San, who had entered the Space Rift.
"Golden Dragon King, this god is your opponent!"
Tang Chen's figure instantly appeared before Chu Yuan. What Chu Yuan had not expected was—
Tang Chen directly grabbed hold of the golden spear in his hand.
"Explode!"
A trace of dark-red divine power immediately enveloped Tang Chen. Then, his skin began cracking inch by inch, while his Soul Power and Asura God's divine power became violently berserk at that moment.
Boom!
A massive mushroom cloud rose with a deafening crash, blotting out the sky. The violent Soul Power and Asura God's divine power lost control and began indiscriminately destroying the Star Dou Forest below.
Within the Space Rift, Tang San watched as his great-grandfather was controlled by Asura God, abandoning all his cultivation to self-destruct, all to send him to safety.
Resentment instantly consumed his mind. Waves of black Soul Power slowly emerged from his body, and his originally azure hair turned black at that moment.
Even his face became covered in eerie black markings.
"Golden Dragon King!"
"You have truly chosen the path to death!"
Tang San's voice echoed between heaven and earth, filled with boundless resentment and hatred toward Chu Yuan.
In midair, Chu Yuan wiped away a trace of blood that had splashed onto his face. With a wave of his hand, he sent out golden energy that wrapped around the violent Soul Power and divine power, forcibly transporting them above a human town.
"My lord!"
At that moment, the space behind Chu Yuan tore open with a crash, and Di Tian and the other Ferocious Beasts emerged from within.
"Di Tian, this king will next devour the Silver Dragon King's bloodline. During that time, this king has a task for you."
Chu Yuan turned around. The most pressing matter was naturally to devour the Silver Dragon King's bloodline first, rather than search all over the continent for Slaughter City.
"Please give your orders, my lord!" Di Tian slightly bowed, endless battle intent radiating from him.
Based on his understanding of his lord, once his lord emerged from seclusion, he would certainly make a move against the human world.
"Once I begin devouring the Silver Dragon King's bloodline, each of you will lead the Soul Beasts and launch a full-scale assault on the human world."
"Capture the Balak Kingdom in one hour, conquer the Star Luo Empire in one day, seize the major sects in three days, and break all human will to resist within one month."
Upon hearing this, Di Tian and the other Ferocious Beasts held their breath. Their eyes burned with fervor, and battle intent surged from their bodies.
"My lord, your subordinate will certainly carry out every one of your decisions!"
Di Tian's tone was impassioned. A counterattack against all humanity—he had waited tens of thousands of years for this moment!
It was not only Di Tian. Xiong Jun, that battle-crazed lunatic, and the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King, who yearned to establish merits, were likewise filled with excitement. They could hardly wait to charge into the human world and begin slaughtering!
"Bi Ji, have your clansmen accompany them. If any Soul Beasts are injured, treat them with all your strength."
Chu Yuan's gaze fell on Bi Ji. In this era, no one possessed healing abilities that could surpass hers.
"Yes, my lord." Bi Ji slightly bowed, her voice gentle.
"Remember, if any humans surrender, there is no need to spare them."
After speaking, Chu Yuan slowly turned around and looked toward the distant human world.
Since he had become the Golden Dragon King, he naturally had to do something for the Soul Beast Clan. He might not lead the entire clan to soar to greatness, but he would at least ensure that the Soul Beast Clan would no longer suffer the cruel slaughter of human Soul Masters.
Meanwhile, in Slaughter City, Tang San sat upon a throne, his entire body radiating baleful energy.
"Senior Asura God, what should I do next?"
As Tang San's voice fell, red light flashed across his forehead. Immediately afterward, Asura God's voice rang out in his mind.
"There is now another way for you to complete your Fourth Exam. That girl who entered Shrek Academy alongside you several years ago is a transformed Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast. If she is willing to sacrifice herself to you, your Fourth Exam can be completed successfully."
Asura God could directly grant Tang San a God-Bestowed Soul Ring, but that would not conform to the requirements of the Fourth Exam.
The Fourth Exam required him to hunt a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast. Of course, if a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast voluntarily sacrificed itself, that counted as well.
Once a God Exam had descended, not even the god who issued it could alter it.
What gods could control was the difficulty of the examination, provided it was not too excessive.
Asura God could even set Tang San's God Exam so that sleeping once per day would complete one examination.
But if he did that, even if Tang San inherited the Asura Godhood, his strength would probably only reach that of a First-Level God.
"What!"
"Xiao Wu is actually a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast!?"
Tang San abruptly raised his head, his eyes full of disbelief.
The adorable Xiao Wu in his heart was actually one of those evil and disgusting creatures known as Soul Beasts!?
But then again, Xiao Wu was so adorable. Perhaps even when she had been a Soul Beast, she had been an adorable Soul Beast?
After all, humans were divided into evil people and kind people. For example, he, Tang San, was a kind person.
Then Soul Beasts must surely be divided into kind Soul Beasts and evil Soul Beasts as well.
For example, that Golden Dragon King was an evil Soul Beast that had chosen the path to death!
Besides, was his mother not also a kind transformed Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast?
Since his mother could give birth to him, that meant transformed Soul Beasts could live normally alongside human Soul Masters!
