Tang Chen took one last, deep look at Bo Saixi, as if trying to etch her exquisite beauty and the deep affection in her eyes into his soul, and carry them into eternal slumber.
"Goodbye, Bo Saixi..."
The final farewell, accompanied by Tang Chen's last breath, vanished completely in the blowing sea breeze, leaving no trace.
Those eyes that once captivated heroes across the land slowly closed. The hand that had been tightly gripping Bo Saixi finally released its hold.
The peerless genius and the strongest on land, Tang Chen of the Clear Sky Sect, thus perished.
There were no earth-shattering phenomena, only the rustling of the sea breeze and the woman's suppressed sobs that finally broke her.
After an unknown amount of time, Tang Chen's body, enveloped in the pure energy of Sea God Island, began to slowly transform into specks of golden light, rising up like stars against the current.
He eventually merged into the sky and sea of Sea God Island, becoming one with this land that his beloved had Life Protection, and which had finally accepted him.
As the light faded, only six Soul Bone remained, silently floating and radiating different colors and powerful energy fluctuations.
They come in various shapes and are as heavy as mountains.
The oldest among them was over 70,000 years old, while the aura emanating from that Torso Soul Bone was as vast as the sea, with faint dark golden patterns flowing around it, indicating that its age had exceeded 100,000 years!
With tears blurring her vision, Bo Saixi reached out her trembling hand and carefully, piece by piece, collected the Soul Bone that carried Tang Chen's last instructions, placing them into her personal Storage Soul Tool.
With each piece of Soul Bone I held, I could almost feel a trace of Tang Chen's remaining warmth and presence.
Almost at the very moment Tang Chen's life force was completely extinguished and his soul returned to the world, the last connection between his body and the Asura God Trial was also completely severed!
The Divine Realm, the Asura God Temple.
The Asura God, seated at the source of endless slaughter and the rules of judgment, had a slight tremor in his indifferent divine sense.
The last soul imprint of the previous Godhood Inheritance, " Tang Chen," was completely erased from the God Trials.
At the same time, the divine sense naturally sensed that the " Asura Demon Sword," which had once served as a divine artifact of inheritance and was infused with the source of Asura Divine Power and the complete mark of inheritance, had its soul connection and life imprint belonging to the previous candidate vanish into thin air.
This demonic sword was now truly ownerless.
The immense Asura Divine Power accumulated by Tang Chen throughout his life of cultivation, as well as his partial understanding of the Asura Law, sealed within the sword, are no longer bound by any individual. They have transformed into a pure and precious "legacy," quietly awaiting the unlocking and inheritance of the next destined person.
The channel for the transmission of God Trials has once again been clearly left empty.
The Asura God cast a screening glance at all the lower realm beings who met the basic requirements.
Only those who pass the trials of Hell Road and obtain the " Divine Slaughter's Domain " can be marked in this boundless selection net.
That was the unique mark left by the Asura Divine Power in the lower realm, the minimum threshold for obtaining the candidate qualification.
Only those who have traversed the Hell Road and possess the Divine Slaughter's Domain are qualified to inherit the legacy.
In the distant Douluo Continent, within the Clear Sky Sect of Cloud Mist Mountain, Tang Feng was meditating and cultivating.
Deep within its soul, the " Clear Sky Domain," which has undergone a positive transformation and merged with its own Clear Sky Hammer will and numerous opportunities, still originates from the purest Asura Divine Power it obtained on the Hell Road.
This essential connection, like a lighthouse in the night, clearly and unmistakably marked him within the Asura God's sensing range.
The Asura God's vast divine sense, transcending time and space and covering countless planes, was like an invisible and intangible yet all-encompassing net of laws, instantly sweeping over all those marked as possessors of the " Divine Slaughter's Domain ".
Finally, the divine sense converged and landed on Tang Feng.
After careful observation, he clearly saw:
Tang Feng's mental and spiritual power is much stronger than it was in the Slaughter City.
What surprised him even more was that deep within this soul and spiritual power, there was a faint Entanglement of an extremely ancient and noble dragon king aura.
Although faint and already digested and integrated, the dragon soul imprint originating from the two extreme sources of ice and fire could not escape the perception of the gods.
Talent, willpower, opportunities, and soul qualities... all these factors combined make this the most suitable candidate among all those who possess the basic qualifications.
After the Asura God made up his mind to choose Tang Feng as his next successor, his vast divine sense, through the connection of the Asura Divine Power at the core of Tang Feng's " Clear Sky Domain," silently penetrated the dimensional barrier and descended into Tang Feng's world of consciousness.
Tang Feng, who was meditating at this moment, had completely sunk into the deep realm of meditation.
A sudden change has occurred!
An indescribable and irresistible immense power descended without warning!
This power was cold, chilling, and aloof, seemingly above the laws governing all living beings. It instantly seized Tang Feng's consciousness, forcibly "dragged" him out of his meditation chamber!
Tang Feng felt a sudden darkness before his eyes, followed by endless Nothingness and a feeling of falling, as if he had traveled through an endless time tunnel.
When Tang Feng regained his "sight," he found himself in a completely unfamiliar place.
Beneath their feet lay a vast, dark red crystal ground, seemingly paved with congealed blood, shrouded in a faint crimson mist.
Looking up, the sky was not the heavens, but a strange void, deep and boundless, with dark red stars.
Directly ahead, an indescribably majestic palace stands at the end of the line of sight, constructed entirely of a dark red, almost black divine stone, exuding an aura of endless majesty, slaughter, judgment, and order.
Above the main gate of the palace, two large divine characters, seemingly imprinted directly by the laws of heaven and earth, exude a sharp aura that makes one's soul tremble!
Asura God Temple!
Just looking at this palace, Tang Feng felt his Clear Sky Domain tremble slightly, a result of the resonance and suppression of a higher-level power of the same origin.
"Where... is this place?" Tang Feng was shocked. He suppressed his turbulent emotions and cautiously observed his surroundings.
Apart from the palace, there was nothing else in this space; it was eerily silent.
Tang Feng had a vague feeling that he had been "summoned" here by some unimaginable being.
After a moment's hesitation, Tang Feng strode towards the Asura God Temple, which exuded boundless majesty.
The palace gate, a hundred feet high, silently opened a crack, just enough for one person to pass through.
Upon entering the hall, the light suddenly changed.
The interior space is far more magnificent than what can be seen from the outside, with towering pillars carved with countless patterns of gods and demons battling and the cycle of life and death supporting the high dome.
At the far end of the main hall stood a high and mighty throne.
A figure sat regally on the divine throne.
The figure wasn't particularly large, yet it seemed to be the center of this world, the source of both slaughter and order.
He was shrouded in a hazy, dark red divine light, obscuring his face. He could only feel the gaze, as deep as a sea of Asura's blood, falling upon him.
Under that gaze, Tang Feng felt himself become transparent, from body to soul, with all his secrets exposed and even his thoughts seemingly frozen.
Tang Feng took a deep breath, forcing himself to calm down, and bowed respectfully. "Junior Tang Feng greets Senior. May I ask who you are, Senior? What brings you here to instruct me?"
The figure on the throne spoke slowly, the voice not traveling through the air, but resounding directly into the depths of Tang Feng's soul, devoid of any emotion. "I am the God of Law Enforcement of the Divine Realm, the Asura God."
Asura God! Tang Feng's mind was trembling violently!
Despite his suspicions, hearing the name in person still sent a storm raging through Tang Feng's heart.
A god! A true god! And God King holds the power of rules and judgment!
"I wonder what instructions the Lord Asura God has for this junior?" Tang Feng tried his best to keep his voice steady and his tone respectful.
The Asura God's gaze seemed to pierce through Tang Feng's body, looking directly at the mutated " Clear Sky Domain " origin deep within his soul.
"Your domain originates from the divine power of my ancestral land. I have observed you for a long time. Since you first acquired your domain in the City of Slaughter City, your will has been tempered, your heart has remained steadfast, and your aptitude and potential are both excellent. I am very satisfied."
The divine voice paused slightly, then delivered a startling proposal. "Now, I wish to bestow upon you the Godhood Inheritance. Are you willing to accept the Asura God Trial?"
