Upon seeing Lin Mo enveloped in a pillar of crimson light, Qian Renxue and the other women's expressions changed drastically.
Qian Renxue turned to Dugu Yan and shouted, " Yanyan, let's join forces!"
Dugu Yan nodded in agreement with a similarly solemn expression.
They all sensed an extremely strong killing intent emanating from the crimson pillar of light. The purity of that killing intent far surpassed the level when Lin Mo released his Divine Slaughter's Domain.
This is definitely not normal.
In their view, this sudden change was most likely Tang Chen's scheme to harm Lin Mo.
Soon, with the renewed infusion of spiritual energy, the Angel Holy Sword and the Sea God Trident were activated once more.
Golden light surged from the two divine artifacts, enveloping Qian Renxue and Dugu Yan in a sacred glow.
The Angel's Light and the Sea God's Light surged forth once more, sweeping towards the crimson pillar of light.
The two divine lights intertwined and crashed fiercely into the soaring blood-red light.
To everyone's surprise, the moment the divine light struck the crimson pillar of light, the pillar, which had shot straight into the sky, suddenly contracted.
The crimson light collapsed inwards as if it were alive, still firmly enveloping Lin Mo, and finally transformed into a huge crimson egg.
The Sea God's Light and the Angel's Light, after colliding, were activated and shot straight into the sky, sweeping away the bloody light from the outside world.
Two golden beams of light Infiltrator the dome of the main hall and soared into the sky, clearly visible for dozens of miles around.
At the same time, the officials of the Star Luo Empire, who had been trembling with fear upon seeing the blood-red light, prostrated themselves on the ground upon feeling the light of the Sea God's Light and the sacred aura of the Angel's Light.
Their faces were filled with awe and excitement.
An elderly minister with white hair and beard raised his head, gazing at the two golden pillars of light shooting into the sky, tears streaming down his face.
He reached out, pointing to the pillar of light, his voice choked with emotion. "The gods have appeared in the world to vanquish Evil!"
"That bloody light must be the evil spirits created by the Imperial Advisor Tang San and that tyrannical Emperor Dai Mubai!"
"Yes, that must be it!"
"The gods have seen the suffering of our Star Luo Empire and have come to Punishment!"
These veteran officials of the Star Luo Empire, after being tormented by Tang San and Dai Mubai for so long, had long since lost all hope in the royal family.
They watched helplessly as Dai Mubai ascended the throne with Tang San's support, watched helplessly as Tang San used human lives to cultivate, and watched helplessly as the Star Luo Empire fell into the abyss day by day.
But they were powerless to resist.
With Titled Douluo- level powerhouse presiding over the imperial court, what could these powerless civil officials do besides prove their loyalty with their deaths?
Today, they finally see hope.
To them, the bloody light was an evil spirit created by Tang San and Dai Mubai's group.
The golden divine light that cleared away the blood-red light, filled with radiance and holiness, was naturally a miracle.
It was the gods who saw the suffering of the Star Luo Empire and came to Punishment Tang San and his companions in this world.
One after another, the old ministers knelt on the ground, shouting the name of the god.
The servants and guards who had been hiding in the corners of the hall also knelt down and bowed in worship in the direction where the golden light had disappeared.
Qian Renxue sheathed the Angel Holy Sword, strode up to Tang Chen Tang Chen, grabbed him by the collar, and her face was filled with Rage.
What's going on?
Qian Renxue's voice was icy, her golden eyes filled with accusation. "What did you do to A-Mo?"
Dugu Yan, Ye Lingling, and the three women, including Zhu Zhuqing, also looked indignant at this moment.
They both unleashed their Soul Power. Dugu Yan's Sea God Trident was even pointed at Tang Chen, her emerald eyes filled with icy killing intent.
"Explain!"
Dugu Yan shouted, the tip of her trident advancing even further. "What exactly did you do to A-Mo?!"
The gentleness that once filled Ye Lingling's purple eyes had vanished.
The four women surrounded Tang Chen, looking ready to act immediately once they received a satisfactory answer.
The Charizard guarding Lin Mo, however, paid little attention to what was happening here.
Its blue eyes were fixed on the blood-red giant egg. It didn't sense any danger from the egg; instead, it felt a familiar sense of connection with its bloodline.
However, Charizard remained vigilant, and if anyone dared to make the slightest mistake, it would unleash Destruction without hesitation.
It is prepared to deal with any unforeseen circumstances.
"Don't worry, he's fine," Tang Chen said helplessly, finally regaining his senses.
His gaze swept back and forth between the Angel Holy Sword in Qian Renxue's hand and the Sea God Trident in Dugu Yan's hand, without a trace of annoyance in his eyes.
"And what about that sword?"
Undeterred, Qian Renxue continued to question, "How could A-Mo suddenly become like this?"
In her view, Lin Mo's unusual behavior was almost certainly related to the sword that Tang Chen had released.
It all happened so fast that they didn't even have time to react.
Tang Chen did not rush to answer.
He withdrew his gaze, his eyes lingering for a moment on the divine artifacts in Qian Renxue and Dugu Yan's hands, before slowly saying, " Angel Holy Sword, Sea God Trident."
Upon seeing Tang Chen reveal the true name of the weapon in their hands, Qian Renxue and Dugu Yan's expressions became much more serious.
As expected of a veteran Titled Douluo, he truly has a wealth of knowledge and experience.
The origins of these two divine artifacts are something that ordinary Titled Douluo could never possibly know.
"You two little girls must be the chosen successors of the Angel God and the Sea God, right?"
Tang Chen's voice was calm as his gaze swept over the marks on Qian Renxue and Dugu Yan's brows. "Judging from your situation, you should have both successfully passed your respective Seventh Trial and gained the artifact's approval."
"So what if it is?"
Dugu Yan Yan's vigilance remained unwavering, her trident unmoved, its tip still pointed at Tang Chen: "What does this have to do with that sword?"
Tang Chen breathed a sigh of relief, "That makes things much easier to explain."
"Do you see that sword? It's a divine weapon just like the ones you hold, and a key token for the inheritance of the gods."
Its name is the Asura Demonic Sword.
In terms of quality alone, neither the Angel Holy Sword in your hand nor the superior Sea God Trident in hers can compare to it.
" The Asura Demonic Sword?"
Qian Renxue frowned and subconsciously repeated the name.
Her Angel Holy Sword was already a divine artifact left behind by the Angel God, but Tang Chen said that the Asura Demonic Sword was of even higher quality than the Angel Holy Sword.
It's even above the Sea God Trident.
The Sea God Trident is the weapon of Sea God, a divine artifact left behind by First-Level Main God.
If it's of even higher quality, what level of divine artifact is it?
Tang Chen ignored her shock and continued explaining, "As for your companion, the strange thing that happened to him..."
Ye Lingling stepped forward and added, "His name is Lin Mo."
"You've probably guessed what's happening to Lin Mo."
Tang Chen said helplessly, "This is the Godhood Inheritance."
" Godhood Inheritance?!"
Zhu Zhuqing's eyebrows furrowed, her eyes filled with doubt. "Are you sure you're not lying to us? Godhood Inheritance? What kind of Godhood Inheritance is this?"
"Judging from what we just saw, the young master was clearly unprepared and was caught completely off guard."
The blood-red light suddenly enveloped him, giving him no time to react.
"Forcibly bestowing Godhood upon someone else? Could this be the legacy of some evil god? Unable to find a suitable successor, they resort to this wicked method to force someone to accept it!"
Upon hearing Zhu Zhuqing's words, Tang Chen's lips twitched involuntarily.
While what this little girl said was easy to hear, upon closer reflection, it actually made some sense.
The way the Asura God inherits his power is indeed completely different from that of the Angel God and the Sea God.
Both the Angel God and the Sea God guide their successors step by step through trials, allowing them to grow gradually during these trials and ultimately inherit their Godhood naturally.
But the Asura God, upon seeing a suitable candidate, immediately took action.
They didn't even say hello.
This does indeed... feel a bit like being forced upon someone.
As Zhu Zhuqing finished speaking, Asura, far away in the Divine Realm, suddenly sneezed for some unknown reason.
He sat on the throne, raised his hand to rub his nose, and frowned slightly.
Who's talking about me again?
Tang Chen sighed and shifted his gaze to Lin Mo's still-released Divine Slaughter's Domain.
" Lin Mo possesses the Divine Slaughter's Domain; he must have been to the Slaughter City."
Tang Chen slowly said, "During the time I became the King of Slaughter, I did sense that a young man with considerable blood energy and strength had entered it."
That must be him.
He said this with a hint of uncertainty in his voice.
Most of his memories of those hazy, confused days are now blurred, leaving only fragmented pieces.
But Lin Mo's Divine Slaughter's Domain doesn't lie.
" A-Mo did go there once," Ye Lingling replied.
She looked at Tang Chen, her eyes no longer wary. As Nine Heart Begonia Soul Master, she was extremely sensitive to malice and killing intent.
She sensed absolutely no malice from Tang Chen.
"A long time ago, A-Mo went to the Slaughter City of Slaughter City in order to find clues about the inheritance of the gods."
It's a pity we couldn't in the end.
"In A-Mo's words, someone beat him to it, which is why he couldn't get his hands on it. In the end, he could only settle for second best and take the Divine Slaughter's Domain."
Upon hearing this, a hint of surprise flashed in Tang Chen's eyes.
He hadn't expected these children to know so much about the Slaughter City and the Divine Slaughter's Domain.
These secrets are unknown even to many Titled Douluo.
After a long silence, he said with relief, "That's right, there is indeed a legacy left behind by a god in the Slaughter City, and I obtained it before Lin Mo arrived."
"Like you, I am also a successor of the gods." Tang Chen looked at Qian Renxue and Dugu Yan with a gentle expression.
"This is different from the Angel God and Sea God you inherited. The divine inheritance I found, which has now been Sheer Force given to Lin Mo, is called the Asura God."
"And unlike you who only passed your respective Seventh Trial, I passed the Asura's Eighth Trial the moment I awoke."
But at this point, Tang Chen's tone suddenly became complicated.
He completed the Eighth Trial test at the last minute, but he knew in his heart that this was his limit.
His body had long been riddled with holes by the Blood-Red Nine-Headed Bat King, and even with Ye Lingling's treatment, his Life was only extended for a short time.
He couldn't possibly pass the Ninth Trial.
"Unlike the mechanisms by which the Sea God and the Angel God choose their successors, the Asura God's succession is more like casting a wide net."
Tang Chen continued, "Everyone who has enough strength and luck to clear the Hell Road is a candidate for godhood."
"Given my circumstances, I clearly lack the qualifications to pass the Asura Nine Trials and inherit the Asura God Godhood. That's probably why the Asura God chose to Sheer Force Godhood Inheritance to Lin Mo."
At this point, Tang Chen's voice held a hint of relief. "He's far more suitable than me."
Tang Chen and Qian Renxue did not deliberately suppress their voices when communicating.
Everyone else remaining in the court heard these words.
The old ministers, who were prostrate on the ground, trembled even more violently upon hearing the words " Godhood Inheritance " and " Asura God."
Although they didn't quite understand these profound and mysterious things, there was one thing they understood.
The young man who suppressed the villain Tang San is receiving the inheritance of a god.
A true god!
Not those vague and ethereal beings they talk about all the time, but real and tangible deities with traceable origins!
This news filled them with both awe and excitement.
The gods have truly appeared in the world!
The gods truly heard their daily prayers!!
The gods have truly come to save their Star Luo Empire!!!
But somewhere unnoticed by everyone, Hu Liena lowered her head, and her body trembled slightly.
Those usually alluring eyes were now veiled with a misty haze.
When Tang Chen uttered the words " Divine Slaughter's Domain," her mind exploded.
The three leaders of the Annihilation Squad who surrounded Hu Liena in the center naturally Frisk the saintess's unusual behavior.
The captain, who was at the Soul Douluo level, frowned. He wanted to step forward and ask questions, but he dared not make a move due to the surrounding circumstances.
This place is teeming with powerful individuals, Titled Douluo are everywhere.
The three of them, Soul Douluo here, are no match for them.
Unlike Hu Liena's emotional outburst, as Tang Chen finished speaking, Tang San, who was still suppressed by the dual domains and unable to move, showed a hint of joy on his face.
Godhood Inheritance?
Does possessing the Divine Slaughter's Domain grant one the qualification to inherit Godhood Inheritance?
Wouldn't that mean he could do it too?
Tang San's heart began to pound wildly.
He also possesses the Divine Slaughter's Domain!
He also obtained the Divine Slaughter's Domain back in the Slaughter City!
If Lin Mo could gain the favor of the Asura God with his Divine Slaughter's Domain, why couldn't Tang San?
My great-grandfather has now fully recovered.
Although it's unclear why he chatted with these women for so long, if his great-grandfather were to eliminate Lin Mo next, wouldn't the Asura God Godhood be vacant?
By then, his great-grandfather was the previous successor, and he himself possessed the Divine Slaughter's Domain. Who else could the Asura God Godhood be passed on to if not him?
Thinking of this, Tang San's expression suddenly changed from fury to ecstasy.
He had even begun to imagine what it would be like to inherit the Asura God Godhood.
Once he becomes a god, the first thing he will do is go to the Star Dou Great Forest and skin and dismember those two beasts Da Ming and Er Ming.
How dare they stop him from seeing Xiao Wu, and even mock him for being inferior to Lin Mo? They're simply courting death.
Then, he would bring Xiao Wu back.
Whether Xiao Wu likes it or not, he is going to bring her back.
He's lost too many times already; this time, he'll never let go again.
At that time, he will repay Lin Mo for the humiliation he suffered, tenfold.
He wanted to arrest all of Lin Mo's women one by one, make Lin Mo kneel on the ground, and watch them suffer.
Tang San's grin widened, and the bloodshot in his eyes intensified.
Tang Chen's gaze shifted back to Lin Mo.
He stared at the blood-red giant egg, a thoughtful look flashing in his eyes.
After a moment, he suddenly spoke, his tone tinged with doubt.
"If I'm not mistaken, the bead that Lin Mo Crush Grip before he went into seclusion, the one that created this golden mist, was God-Given Soul Ring, wasn't it?"
"Could it be that Lin Mo...?"
Ye Lingling nodded slightly and replied, "Senior is right, A-Mo possesses Twin Martial Souls."
Tang Chen was stunned for a moment, then sighed deeply, "Just as I thought."
" With Twin Martial Souls, plus this ridiculously powerful dragon Beast Martial Soul, Lin Mo is far more suitable than me to be the successor of this Asura."
For Tang Chen, relinquishing the Godhood after realizing he could not Asura God Godhood was not unacceptable.
After so many years of wasted time, he has long since come to terms with reality.
He had been Parasite the Blood-Red Nine-Headed Bat King for decades, living in a daze, not even knowing who he was. Now that he has regained consciousness and can see this world again, it is already an immense stroke of luck.
Consider it repaying a favor.
Thinking of this, Tang Chen subconsciously looked at the few girls surrounding Lin Mo.
Dugu Yan, Ye Lingling, Qian Renxue, and Zhu Zhuqing, who never spoke but always stayed by Lin Mo's side.
Without the help of these girls, I'm afraid I would never have been able to escape the Parasite influence of the Blood-Red Nine-Headed Bat King, let alone recover to this state even now.
He owes them an enormous favor.
Let's repay this favor with the Asura God Godhood.
Since he has no chance of inheriting the Asura God Godhood anyway, it's better to hand it over to a suitable person.
Lin Mo is the right person.
But in a place unnoticed by everyone, the sound of dripping water became increasingly clear.
Tick-tock.
Tick-tock.
Water droplets fell onto the floor tiles, making a crisp sound.
At the same time, the sound of sobbing became increasingly obvious.
At first it was just a soft sob, but soon the sobbing could no longer be suppressed.
Looking in the direction of the sound, everyone saw Hu Liena with tears streaming down her face.
For a moment, everyone present was somewhat puzzled.
Qian Renxue frowned, her gaze falling on Hu Liena. She hadn't expected Hu Liena to suddenly break down at this moment.
Hu Liena walked straight toward Lin Mo's location as if she didn't care about her image at all.
He staggered.
The three Soul Douluo from the Annihilation Squad looked embarrassed, but they still followed behind Hu Liena with gritted teeth.
The leader of the Soul Douluo reluctantly stepped forward, looked at Qian Renxue, and his voice was full of caution:
"Young Master... the Holy Maiden has encountered some problems in her cultivation. I will take her away immediately."
Qian Renxue remained silent, simply watching Hu Liena.
" Twin Martial Souls?" Hu Liena suddenly asked, her voice hoarse and frightened.
She stared blankly at Lin Mo, who was in a meditative state, her gaze unfocused.
She tried to equate the image of Lin Mo in front of her with the Blood Asura in her memory, but was horrified to find that the two did not resemble each other at all.
Blood Asura was an ordinary-looking middle-aged man with a hideous scar on his right cheek.
Lin Mo, on the other hand, was handsome and refined, with a calm demeanor, completely different from Blood Asura.
But why?
Why does Lin Mo also possess the Divine Slaughter's Domain?
Why had Lin Mo also been to the Slaughter City?
One question after another exploded in her mind, shattering her last shred of hope.
"Is it you? Blood Asura?" Hu Liena's voice trembled, and tears rolled down her cheeks.
She raised her hand, intending to touch the blood-red giant egg, but her hand froze in mid-air halfway through.
Although she already knew the exact answer in her heart, Hu Liena still refused to equate Lin Mo with the Blood Asura she remembered.
She has been searching for Blood Asura for so many years, scouring the entire intelligence network of the Spirit Hall and traversing every corner of the continent.
She had even mentally visualized the true appearance of the Blood Asura countless times.
But no one had ever imagined that Blood Asura was Lin Mo.
The boy who defeated her in the Soul Master Tournament, the rival she had always regarded as a goal to be caught up with, the genius she both respected and feared.
It was the Blood Asura she couldn't forget in the Slaughter City.
"Impossible..."
Hu Liena muttered to herself, her voice trailing off, "How could this be..."
She has been searching for so many years, for so long, and has searched the entire continent.
She never imagined that the Blood Asura was right under her nose.
Right next to the person she had always considered her rival.
"Why..."
Hu Liena's voice choked even more. "Why are you, Lin Mo, Blood Asura...?"
Her legs buckled, and she collapsed to her knees.
The three Soul Douluo' expressions changed drastically. They wanted to step forward to help her, but she stopped them by raising her hand.
She knelt before the blood-red giant egg, her hands on the ground, tears streaming down her face.
I've been looking for you for so long...
"Why did it take me until today to find out that you... are the Blood Asura?!"
Hu Liena's voice grew softer and softer until it became almost a silent sob.
