" Blood Asura, who is this?" Dugu Yan frowned.
Qian Renxue seemed to recall something, and said thoughtfully, " Blood Asura... I think I've heard of that person before."
"I remember a long time ago, Hu Liena had been searching everywhere for this person called Blood Asura."
It was even a major undertaking; even Bibi Dong personally ordered an effort to find this person for Hu Liena.
At this point, Qian Renxue's tone became even more strange. "But this person seems to have vanished into thin air, or rather, never existed at all."
Even though the Spirit Hall mobilized a great deal of resources, they couldn't find even the slightest trace of his existence.
I thought this was just a figment of Hu Liena's imagination, but I didn't expect there to actually be such a person."
Dugu Yan's eyes showed even greater confusion. "Then what's going on now? Has Hu Liena mistaken A-Mo for Blood Asura?"
Even Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling, who were closest to Lin Mo, did not know what Lin Mo had experienced during his two-year trip to the Slaughter City.
Lin Mo has always been tight-lipped about his trip to the Killing City.
Whenever the Slaughter City came up, Lin Mo would deliberately change the subject or simply mention it briefly, never going into detail about the specifics.
All the two of them knew was that Lin Mo had successfully left the Slaughter City and obtained what he wanted: the Divine Slaughter's Domain.
I know nothing else.
Lin Mo never brought up his experiences in the Slaughter City, nor did he ever say who he met or what he went through there.
Upon hearing this, Ye Lingling raised her head and took a deep breath. "It's most likely not a mistake."
At this point, Ye Lingling's voice suddenly lowered, and she continued in a voice that only a few people around could hear, " A-Mo's Second Martial Soul has the ability to disguise himself, and he can change his appearance at will."
Perhaps that's why Hu Liena failed to recognize A-Mo as the Blood Asura.
As Ye Lingling finished speaking, Hu Liena, who had only been sobbing softly, broke down in tears.
I see.
So that's why. No wonder I couldn't find it after searching for so many years.
Blood Asura is Lin Mo, Lin Mo is Blood Asura.
If Tang Chen hadn't revealed Lin Mo's possession of the Divine Slaughter's Domain today, and if she hadn't happened to be there and overheard these words, she probably would never have known this truth in her life.
The person she had been searching for for so long had never disappeared, but had never shown her his true face.
Faced with Hu Liena's sudden emotional breakdown, the other women were stunned and didn't know how to comfort her.
Qian Renxue looked completely bewildered.
She knew about Hu Liena's feelings for Blood Asura, and she also knew that Hu Liena had been frantically searching for this person's whereabouts all these years.
However, she originally thought that Blood Asura did not exist and was just a hallucination caused by Hu Liena due to excessive pressure in the Slaughter City.
But who would have thought that this person, just like Mo Ling, was merely an alias of Lin Mo?
However, in a corner unnoticed by everyone, after Lin Mo revealed himself to be Blood Asura, Tang San's expression changed drastically once again.
The joy on his face instantly turned into unprecedented fear.
Blood Asura.
The name was so familiar to him that just hearing it made his body tremble involuntarily.
This name is far more useful to Tang San than Lin Mo's real name.
He had personally witnessed Blood Asura's carnage in the Hell Slaughter Arena back in the Slaughter City.
Tang San still remembers some of the scenes; for a long time, Blood Asura was a nightmare he couldn't shake off.
It was precisely because of his fear of the Blood Asura that he chose to avoid battle in the Slaughter City.
He waited a full year, until Blood Asura achieved his hundred victories and entered the Hell Road, before daring to step onto that bloody ground again.
Those days were arguably the most humiliating time of his life.
Now he finally knows the true identity of Blood Asura.
Lin Mo.
Blood Asura is Lin Mo.
This discovery caused Tang San's body to tremble uncontrollably.
The person who defeated him in the Soul Master Tournament was Lin Mo, and the person who gave him Nightmare in the Slaughter City was also Lin Mo.
From beginning to end, he was defeated by the same person.
However, when Tang San's gaze shifted to Tang Chen, his fear-filled eyes suddenly lit up.
Great-grandfather!
My great-grandfather is right here!!
Or perhaps it was my great-grandfather who had regained his full strength!!!
Tang San's heart began to pound wildly.
Yes, with my great-grandfather around, why should I be afraid of Lin Mo?
My great-grandfather was Level 99 Peak Douluo, a being standing at the pinnacle of the entire continent. No matter how strong Lin Mo is, he could never be a match for my great-grandfather.
Tang San frantically cheered himself up in his mind.
He began to try to mobilize all the power within his body and unleash his Divine Slaughter's Domain.
A chilling white light surged from his body, and the Divine Slaughter's Domain tore a gap in the omnipresent oppressive force, allowing him to move.
Tang San suddenly struggled to his feet, and with all his might roared in Tang Chen's direction:
Great-grandfather! I am Tang San!
He is a disciple of the Clear Sky Sect, the son of your grandson Tang Hao, and also your great-grandson!
Tang San's tears almost spilled out, as if he were desperately grasping at the last straw:
"Great-grandfather, you mustn't let these people get away with this!"
Look at that damned Lin Mo! Look what he did to my father! That's your own grandson!
Tang San's voice grew increasingly shrill, until it became clenched and gritting.
"How much did my father sacrifice for the Clear Sky Sect!"
He once single-handedly fought three Titled Douluo from the Spirit Hall, bringing unparalleled glory to his sect. But now, he's been severely injured by Lin Mo, and even his Clear Sky Hammer has been Crush Grip!
Seeing that Tang Chen had no reaction, Tang San became even more hysterical. "Great-grandfather! You must stand up for us!"
The Clear Sky Sect cannot be humiliated like this! You were once invincible, how can you just stand by and watch the Clear Sky Sect be trampled underfoot now!
Before Tang San could continue speaking, Tang San Qian Renxue flashed to his side.
The Angel Holy Sword was raised high, just one centimeter away, and the tip was shoved directly into Tang San's mouth, forcibly silencing his unfinished words.
"Shut up!"
In her Martial Soul Possession state, Qian Renxue was like God of Angels reborn, exuding an aura of holiness.
Six golden Angel Empire wings unfurled behind her, her long hair flowing in a holy light, making her appear sacred and inviolable.
After slashing Tang San's face with the Angel Holy Sword, Qian Renxue said disdainfully, "Evil Tang San, how dare you!"
The sensation of the sword blade slicing through his skin sent a shiver through Tang San's body, and a Burn pain shot through the wound.
"Haven't you figured out your fate yet? How dare you spout nonsense at me like that? Are you just waiting to be purified?"
Tang San let out a scream, his body convulsing violently from the pain.
The changes in his wound were as obvious as an ice cube being thrown into a pot of boiling oil.
The purifying effect of the Angel Holy Sword was extremely noticeable on Tang San, which made Qian Renxue even more certain that Tang San was a complete Evil Soul Master.
If it weren't for the fact that Lin Mo was to handle it, she would have already drawn her sword and killed Tang San, this Fallen Soul Master.
Her Angel Holy Sword exists to purify such evil; all Evil will ultimately be brought to justice!
Not to mention that Tang San is also the son of Clear Sky Douluo, and Tang Hao is her father's killer. She came here for revenge.
Tang San covered his face, curled up on the ground, panting heavily, his eyes filled with fear and resentment.
He dared not speak again.
Qian Renxue truly dared to kill him, and she truly had the ability to do so.
Tang Chen stood there, neither speaking up for Tang San nor showing any intention of making a move.
Looking at his great-grandson, the last shred of hope in his heart vanished.
There is no doubt that Tang San has completely fallen into evil ways.
The Angel Holy Sword's reaction doesn't lie.
Tang Chen closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and when he opened them again, there was no hesitation in his aged eyes. "What do you plan to do with the Clear Sky Sect?"
He was well aware of the current situation; the fate of the Clear Sky Sect was no longer in his hands, but in the hands of these young people.
To be precise, it's in the hands of that young man who is receiving the inheritance of the Asura God.
Upon hearing this, Ye Lingling paused slightly, but quickly replied frankly, "How to handle this is not for us to decide; it's all up to A-Mo to decide."
But at this point, Ye Lingling's tone softened slightly as she added, "However, please rest assured, senior, A-Mo is not a bloodthirsty person, but he will never be merciful either."
These people from the Clear Sky Sect will all face a fair trial; their every action has been predetermined.
Ye Lingling's words gave Tang Chen a temporary sense of relief, but also stirred up a feeling of powerlessness within him.
Although he was out of control while being Parasite by the Blood-Red Nine-Headed Bat King, he was not completely unaware of the outside world.
Tang Chen subconsciously looked up at the Charizard that was silently protecting Lin Mo, a deep sense of apprehension flashing in his eyes.
The Charizard exuded a chilling aura, and nine Soul Ring— eight red and one gold—pulsated slowly beneath its feet. The power of its dual domains still enveloped the entire hall.
With the support of two domains, it can unleash a Destruction blow on anyone who dares to approach Lin Mo at any time.
Tang Chen felt an even greater sense of powerlessness.
He had only just awakened from the Parasite of the Blood-Red Nine-Headed Bat King and had only recently regained his senses when the world outside changed drastically.
He originally thought that after he awoke, he would still be the Peerless Douluo standing at the pinnacle of the continent, still the Clear Sky Douluo who was invincible throughout the world.
But reality dealt him a heavy blow.
Not only is each generation stronger than the last, but these children, who are clearly not very old, have all displayed an exaggerated level of skill.
Moreover, those who Godhood Inheritance are springing up everywhere like mushrooms after rain: Angel God, Sea God, and Lin Mo, who is currently receiving the inheritance of Asura God.
When did the Godhood Inheritance become so worthless?
This is also an important reason why Tang Chen chose to cooperate after waking up.
After all, Lin Mo himself had entered a state of seclusion, but his dragon Beast Martial Soul was still safely outside.
That Martial Soul spirit clearly possessed extremely high intelligence.
Although it is currently guarding Lin Mo, its faint spiritual power is Lock-On onto him.
Tang Chen had no doubt that if he dared to make the slightest rash move, he would likely face a blow that could Destruction him.
This is also the real reason why Tang Chen did not put up any resistance.
Circumstances are stronger than people, and strength is also stronger than people.
Even ignoring the two young girls Godhood Inheritance in front of him, the dragon-like beast alone was enough to Destruction everyone in the Clear Sky Sect, including him.
That dragon beast's strength has definitely Transcendence the realm of Titled Douluo, reaching another level.
They are now like fish on a chopping board, at the mercy of others.
Resistance is pointless and will only lead to self-destruction.
All he can do now is choose to believe the words of this girl who possesses the Nine Heart Begonia Martial Soul.
Besides that, all we can do is cooperate.
To comply with their demands, we will do everything possible to preserve the Clear Sky Sect.
Having figured this out, Tang Chen no longer hesitated. "I don't ask for much, I just hope everything goes as you say, and that Lin Mo won't kill innocent people indiscriminately."
"In exchange, I can cooperate with you. As long as I'm here, the people of the Clear Sky Sect will never disobey your orders!"
As the chief elder of the Clear Sky Sect, his prestige within the sect was unmatched.
Qian Renxue spoke up at this moment, her voice firm. "We can trust him for now. I've heard about Tang Chen from my grandfather, so I know a little about him."
Grandpa said that Tang Chen is an upright and honest person who never goes back on his word.
After a moment, Tang Chen came back to his senses, as if recalling something extremely important, and his gaze returned to Dugu Yan.
His eyes suddenly turned wary. "Young lady, since you possess the Sea God Trident and the legacy of Sea God, you must have been to Sea God Island, right?"
Dugu Yan nodded slightly, without denying it.
Tang Chen's breathing quickened slightly. "Do you know Bo Saixi?"
Upon hearing Tang Chen's words and the unusually obvious change in his tone, the girls exchanged glances.
This led them to immediately conclude that the relationship between Tang Chen and Bo Saixi was definitely not simple.
Dugu Yan raised her head and looked directly at Tang Chen: "Of course we know Senior Bo Saixi, and we are quite familiar with him."
The reason we went to such great lengths to wake you up and heal you is because of Senior Bo Saixi."
Before leaving Sea God Island, we accepted a commission from our senior, Bo Saixi.
She told us that if we have the chance, we'll go to the Douluo Continent to look for you. If possible, we'll relay her words to you."
Upon hearing this, Tang Chen suddenly changed his expression, his voice urgent. "What is it? What does Bo Saixi want to tell me?"
Seeing Tang Chen's appearance, Dugu Yan felt a surge of anger and recited, word for word, Bo Saixi's words spoken before the Sea God Hall:
" Bo Saixi said she's waiting for you on Sea God Island; she wants to see you one last time before she dies."
She said that if you could see her one last time, it would be the greatest blessing of her life. If you didn't want to go, or couldn't find you, then that was her fate.
Tang Chen was completely stunned, as if struck by lightning.
His aged face was filled with guilt and regret. "She's still waiting for me... She's actually still waiting for me... How many years has she been waiting... Almost a hundred years..."
Upon hearing this, Ye Lingling added softly, "I just don't understand why Senior Bo Saixi looks so forlorn?"
They even said things like "before I die."
In my opinion, Bo Saixi had at least several hundred years of life ahead of him.
But her words sounded like a deathbed entrustment, as if she knew her days were numbered.
Ye Lingling's words silenced Tang Chen.
After a long while, Tang Chen turned around and bowed solemnly to Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling.
Tang Chen's voice was filled with sincere gratitude. "Thank you, thank you for giving me and Bo Saixi some final time together."
I was trapped alone in the Slaughter City, living in a daze for countless years, while she waited for me on Sea God Island for countless years.
"If it weren't for your arrival, we might have regretted never seeing each other again."
"I especially want to thank this young lady who possesses the Nine Heart Begonia Martial Soul. If it weren't for your help, even if I were to awaken, I wouldn't have lived much longer."
I, Tang Chen, will remember this kindness.
Ye Lingling quickly waved her hand. "Senior, you flatter me. I was just doing my duty."
Since I promised Senior Bo Saixi, I can't let you die so easily before I complete the request. And..."
At this point, Ye Lingling's voice suddenly lowered, her tone filled with pity. "Although I've temporarily helped you, senior, your condition is beyond the scope of treatment."
"Even with this extra Life, senior, you only have three to five years left to live."
Once the external Life within you is exhausted, even a miracle won't save you. My Nine Heart Begonia is skilled in healing, but it's not a panacea."
A hint of pity flashed in Ye Lingling's eyes.
She hadn't felt this helpless in a long time.
Tang Chen appears to be in normal condition, with a rosy complexion and stable breathing.
But these are merely a final burst of life under the influence of external Life.
Once that Life is exhausted, his body will collapse like a sand sculpture, completely disintegrating.
"It's alright, it's enough." Tang Chen waved his hand, a look of relief appearing on his face.
"Before we both leave this world, we can still be together and express our feelings to each other."
This is already an incredible blessing. I owe Bo Saixi so much in my life.
Three to five years is enough. It's enough for me to say sorry to her and for me to accompany her on her final journey.
However, as the conversation continued, Qian Renxue seemed to Frisk something, and her brows furrowed more and more tightly.
She realized something was wrong, but couldn't quite put her finger on what it was.
Soon, Qian Renxue's gaze suddenly fell on Tang Chen, and she asked, "In Lingling's words, Bo Saixi should have a lifespan of several hundred years, just like my grandfather."
Is her cultivation Level 99, the same as yours? She should be able to live for at least seven or eight hundred years, so why do you look like Bo Saixi is about to die?
"Could it be that Senior Bo Saixi encountered some problem during his cultivation, leading to a significant reduction in his lifespan? Or is there some other hidden reason behind this?"
Upon hearing this, Tang Chen looked at Qian Renxue, sized her up for a moment, and then said thoughtfully, "You are a descendant of Qian Daoliu, aren't you?"
"I knew I felt a familiar aura emanating from you. Six-Winged Angel Martial Soul, Angel God Inheritance—you truly are a child of the Qian Family."
But then Tang Chen's tone became somewhat doubtful. "What, didn't Qian Daoliu tell you?"
He and Bo Saixi were both high priests who guarded the lineage of their respective Godhood Inheritance. You should know that, right?
Qian Renxue nodded; of course she knew that.
Tang Chen continued, "From the day they accepted the identity of High Priest, they also accepted their respective missions."
That is, waiting for the arrival of their respective divine successors.
For them, this is the highest honor, and also the heaviest responsibility.
The Godhood Inheritance needs them, but they are not merely passive witnesses; they also have their own responsibilities to fulfill.
Upon hearing this, Qian Renxue suddenly felt an extremely strong sense of unease.
"Welcoming the successor of the gods is their mission, but for them, it's not necessarily a good thing."
Tang Chen's voice suddenly turned deep. "They will have to pay a heavy price for this, and this price is the most cruel part of the entire process of Godhood Inheritance."
Upon hearing this, Qian Renxue felt a clear sense of panic.
Countless clues began to connect in her mind, and she was just one step away from piecing together the truth.
Or rather, she had pieced together the truth of the matter, but simply refused to believe it.
But Tang Chen's words quickly dealt her First Impression: "Whether it's Qian Daoliu or Bo Saixi, their primary task and most important duty as high priests..."
It requires Sacrifice oneself to open the crucial Ninth Trial of the God Trials for the successor of the gods.
Help them embark on the final path to godhood!
Tang Chen's words were like a sharp dagger, piercing through the last thin layer of paper in Qian Renxue's heart.
Sacrifice!
Ninth Trial!!
Grandpa is going to die!!!
Tang Chen's words exploded in Qian Renxue's mind like a thunderbolt. She froze on the spot, her face turning pale instantly, all color draining from her.
She never imagined it would turn out this way.
She always thought that her grandfather was just a guide who accompanied her through the God Trials, that he would be proud of her after she became a god, and that he would see the day when the glory of the God of Angels descended upon the continent once more.
But now, someone is telling her that the day she becomes a god is the day her grandfather Sacrifice himself.
She had pursued the Godhood for so long, she had persisted in her goal for so long, only to find that in the end, she needed her grandfather's Life to open that final door.
Qian Renxue stood there blankly, the Angel Holy Sword slipping from her hand and crashing onto the Plate with a clang.
A thin mist appeared in her usually resolute eyes; she finally understood why her grandfather had been so determined to hide the truth.
This was the truth she absolutely refused to accept.
