The King of Slaughter's Identity Revealed (Please Recommend and Ask for More Updates)

"Where was I?"

Xiao Ran rubbed his temples, then his eyes lit up.

"Right. The King of Slaughter was hunting Hu Liena, and as luck would have it, Tang San ran straight into him. When the King of Slaughter found Tang San, the man responsible for his plight, he was furious. He demanded an antidote, but Tang San refused, so the two of them fought."

"The King of Slaughter possessed the Slaughter Domain, a smaller version of Slaughter City's Demon-Banishing Domain. No one within its bounds could use any Soul Skills, and Tang San was forced onto the back foot."

"But Tang San was already the Sea God's successor. In the end, he used Sea God's Light to purify the King of Slaughter."

"The King of Slaughter died!"

"The King of Slaughter was actually the Blood-Red Nine-Headed Bat King possessing a human Soul Master. Guess who that Soul Master was."

Xiao Ran told Qian Renxue to guess, but his face plainly said, You'll never get it.

Qian Renxue found it rather funny. So even Xiao Ran, from a higher dimension, has a childish side.

She humored him in a gentle, almost coaxing voice.

"I can't guess. Just tell me—who was the human possessed by the Blood-Red Nine-Headed Bat King?"

Xiao Ran slapped his thigh.

"The Blood-Red Nine-Headed Bat King possessed Tang Chen, who was once known alongside your grandfather Qian Daoliu as one of the Soul Master World's two great peaks."

"Slaughter City was actually a place of inheritance left by the Asura God. Tang Chen was his chosen successor, but something went wrong during the Eighth Trial of the Asura Nine Trials."

"The Blood-Red Nine-Headed Bat King tempted him, then possessed him. Tang Chen sank into Slaughter City and became the King of Slaughter."

"Once Sea God's Light purified the Blood-Red Nine-Headed Bat King, Tang Chen woke from his long descent. That counted as passing the Eighth Trial, but he had been lost for too long. His body was completely ruined, so he could never truly become the Asura God. That also laid the groundwork for Tang San to later become both the Sea God and the Asura God in one body."

Qian Renxue covered her mouth with a delicate hand, her eyes widening slightly. So many secrets lay behind it all.

She had wondered earlier: one could become the Sea God by going to Sea God Island, but where did one go to become the Asura God?

As it turned out, Tang San's great-grandfather Tang Chen was the Asura God's successor. After Tang Chen's body failed, he passed the right to inherit the Asura God's power to Tang San, allowing him to become a vessel for two gods.

He destroyed Spirit Hall, crippled her divine position, and killed Bibi Dong.

Qian Renxue fell into thought. She had to find a way to send word back to Douluo Continent. Better yet, she had to return herself. Now that she knew these secrets, she had to stop Tang San from becoming both the Sea God and the Asura God.

Douluo Continent!

The Western Ridge Mountains!

Tang San, Ning Rongrong, Oscar, and Ma Hongjun were traveling to Vast Sea City under the escort of Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo.

They had heard Xiao Ran's account from the Sky Screen, too.

Tang San's face darkened. Xiao Ran had called him utterly hypocritical.

Who was he? He was destined to embody both the Sea God and the Asura God—the future God King Tang!

Xiao Ran was just an ordinary man from a higher dimension. What right did he have to insult God King Tang?

Xiao Ran had already given him reason to die!

Killing intent flashed through Tang San's eyes.

Damn him! He calls me a running dog of feudalism. If the world isn't ruled by emperors and nobles, should it be ruled by those lowly peasants? They haven't read the Four Books and Five Classics. What could they possibly know about the great principles of governing a nation?

Those lowly peasants are ignorant fools! Putting power in their hands is a path to disaster. Those people from Blue Star don't understand that an empire ruled by emperors and nobles is the most advanced kind of society. I can't even imagine how chaotic and wretched a world without them would be. Lowly peasants are born to be ruled by emperors and nobles.

An evil place like Slaughter City never should have existed. It was depraved and debauched—a sight too vile to behold. If evildoers appeared on the continent, why not just kill them? Kill one when one appears, kill two when two appear. I am God King Tang, pure as ice and clean as jade. There is absolutely nothing wrong with my destroying Slaughter City.

As for awakening Martial Souls for village children, that was nothing but a Spirit Hall plot to bind a child's future with a few petty favors. Awakening Martial Souls is a trivial matter. If Spirit Hall hadn't monopolized it, the emperors and nobles of Heaven Dou and the Star Luo Empire would surely have done it better. A nation with a wise ruler and worthy ministers is a sign of a flourishing age.

At the last revelation, Tang San's eyes flew wide. Shock and delight flickered across his face.

"What? So the King of Slaughter was actually my great-grandfather Tang Chen? And he was the Asura God's successor, only to be possessed by the Blood-Red Nine-Headed Bat King?"

"That innately evil Blood-Red Nine-Headed Bat King had already given us reason to kill him! If he hadn't tempted my great-grandfather into ruin, my great-grandfather would have become the Asura God long ago. How could the Clear Sky Sect have been driven into seclusion behind sealed gates? If my great-grandfather had known what happened, he would have wiped out Spirit Hall!"

"I have to reach Sea God Island as soon as possible, undertake the Sea God Nine Trials, and obtain Sea God's Light. I have to save my great-grandfather..."

Then Tang Chen could pass on the Asura God's inheritance to him as well. That was how he would truly come to embody both the Sea God and the Asura God.

Tang San understood!

Ning Rongrong, Oscar, and Ma Hongjun had interests aligned with Tang San's, so Xiao Ran's insults against him went in one ear and out the other.

Their third brother was pure as ice and clean as jade, a man of spotless conduct. How could he be a hypocrite with double standards? Xiao Ran, from that higher dimension, was simply biased against him.

Ning Rongrong gazed at Tang San, her eyes shining. "Congratulations, Third Brother. Xiao Ran said it plainly on the Sky Screen: you'll become the Sea God on Sea God Island, then inherit the Asura God's power from Senior Tang Chen. Two gods in one body—unmatched beneath heaven! You're our hope for destroying Spirit Hall."

Ning Rongrong's voice caught. "Third Brother, I'm counting on you to avenge the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect."

Oscar pointed at the Sky Screen.

"Heh, Sect Master, Xiao Ran may have insulted you, but he has no idea he's cleared the road ahead for you. All we have to do is follow it, and you'll embody both the Sea God and the Asura God."

Ma Hongjun patted his round belly. "Third Brother, once we reach Sea God Island, we'll all be relying on you. You're the Sea God's chosen successor. Destiny is on your side, and great fortune too!"

Sword Douluo was shaken by what the Sky Screen had revealed. "So that's what happened. I grew up hearing tales of Senior Tang Chen. I always wondered how someone so powerful, a man without a single rival across Douluo Continent, could suddenly vanish. He went to Slaughter City to inherit the Asura God's power. What a tragedy. What a bitter end. A hero all his life, only to be possessed by the Blood-Red Nine-Headed Bat King and never truly become the Asura God."

Anxiety flashed across Bone Douluo's brow. "We need to travel faster. The more the Sky Screen reveals, the more dangerous our position becomes. Tang... God King Tang is destined to destroy Spirit Hall. They'll do everything they can to stop us."
