Bo Saixi reappeared at the palace entrance, her gaze falling on Tang Feng and Zhu Zhuqing. She said, " Tang Feng, Zhu Zhuqing, come with me."
She turned and walked towards the back of the mountain.
Tang Feng gripped Zhu Zhuqing's hand tightly and followed her.
The back of Sea God Mountain is a forbidden area that no one has ever set foot in.
Here, ancient trees reach for the sky, and vines Entanglement, as if no human has ever set foot here for thousands of years. But deep in the dense forest, there is a faintly discernible path leading to an ancient stone temple.
Bo Saixi stopped and pointed to the stone temple.
"That's where your Clear Sky Sect's former sect leader, Tang Chen, once lived. The Asura Demon Sword is inside." Her voice was soft, but carried a tremor that was hard to conceal.
She turned to Tang Feng and Zhu Zhuqing and said, "I can only take you this far. The rest of the journey is up to you."
Tang Feng nodded solemnly and bowed deeply. "Thank you, Great Enshrined."
Bo Saixi said nothing more. She glanced at Tang Feng one last time, then turned and left.
The red robes faded into the twilight, eventually disappearing into the depths of the dense forest.
Tang Feng took a deep breath and gripped Zhu Zhuqing's hand tightly.
Let's go.
The two walked along the path toward the stone hall.
The closer they got to the stone hall, the heavier the atmosphere became. It was an indescribable sense of oppression, as if countless eyes were watching them from the shadows, or as if countless murderous auras were lingering in the darkness.
When the two finally stood in front of the stone palace gate, the oppressive feeling had reached its peak.
The simple stone temple door exuded a chilling aura of killing intent. That aura was icy and piercing, as if it could penetrate all defenses and reach the depths of the soul.
Tang Feng reached out and pushed open the palace door.
The hall was completely empty.
There was only one sword, silently stuck in the ground in the very center.
The sword was dark red all over, about four feet long and three fingers wide. The long and thick blade was covered with dark gold demon patterns, and a faint blood light flowed on the edge. It was full of an extremely fierce killing aura.
It stood there quietly, yet it seemed like a sleeping Ferocious Beast, ready to awaken at any moment.
Just standing at the doorway, Tang Feng felt the overwhelming aura of killing intent emanating from him.
That aura was unlike any killing intent he had ever experienced. It didn't come from the outside world, but went straight to the depths of the soul, as if it wanted to tear apart, devour, and destroy a person's consciousness.
Tang Feng's mind trembled violently in that instant.
He closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and suppressed the surging emotions in his heart.
Zhu Zhuqing didn't speak, but stood quietly beside him, her right hand always tightly clasped in his.
Tang Feng opened his eyes and looked at her.
A hint of worry flashed in her beautiful eyes, but she quickly regained her composure, and the warm smile on her face seemed to melt away any coldness in his heart.
Tang Feng smiled too.
With her by my side, what is there to fear ahead?
Tang Feng strode forward.
When he walked up to the Asura Demon Sword, the killing intent suddenly surged!
That was a killing intent powerful enough to make even Level 99 Peerless Douluo pale in comparison!
The entire stone hall trembled, and the killing intent in the air almost solidified into a tangible form, transforming into countless sharp blades that sliced through his consciousness!
Tang Feng's body began to tremble.
His hand slowly reached for the hilt of the sword.
The instant his fingertips touched the hilt of the sword,
boom!!!
A monstrous aura of slaughter surged into his body like a tidal wave!
That was no ordinary killing intent, but a test left behind by the Asura God, the ultimate manifestation of the Law of Slaughter!
It frantically assaulted Tang Feng's consciousness, attempting to erode his will and turn him into a killing machine!
Tang Feng's body trembled violently, veins bulged on his forehead, his jaw clenched, and he let out a low growl!
His consciousness began to waver in the face of that terrifying aura of slaughter!
Just then, a pair of hands wrapped around his waist from behind.
Zhu Zhuqing hugged him tightly, pressing her face against his back.
She didn't speak, didn't use any Soul Skill or make any unnecessary movements, she just held him tightly.
With her warmth, her presence, and her love, she built the last line of defense for him.
Tang Feng felt a warm sensation coming from behind him.
The warmth dispelled some of the chill of the murderous aura, allowing his nearly lost consciousness to regain its direction.
He remembered many things.
I remember the first time I saw her, those cool and stubborn cat-like eyes.
She remembered what she had said to herself in the cave in the Star Dou Great Forest: "No matter where you are, I will never leave you."
She remembered the kiss she gave her on the beach of Sea God Island, standing on tiptoe.
He recalled the warmth of her in his arms on countless nights.
My true love is right here.
How could I get lost?
Tang Feng gritted his teeth, mustered all his willpower, and fought against the overwhelming killing intent!
Within his sea of consciousness, the phantom of the Clear Sky Hammer shone with dazzling light! The phantom of the Ice and Fire Dragon Kings let out a resounding dragon roar! The mark of the Clear Sky Domain ignited with raging flames!
All the strength, belief, and perseverance converged into an unshakable will at this moment!
Tang Feng opened his eyes, his vision clear and bright.
"I will not lose."
He gripped the hilt of the sword and pulled it up sharply!
The moment the Asura Demon Sword left the ground, a dark red beam of light shot into the sky!
The entire Sea God Mountain trembled, and the entire sea boiled! That overwhelming killing intent completely submitted at this moment!
A voice, different from the previous Sea God Trial but equally majestic and ancient, resounded deep within Tang Feng's mind:
"Having gained the approval of the Asura Demon Sword, the Asura God Trial begins."
"He passed the Asura God Trial directly."
" Asura God Affinity increased by 70%."
" The Seventh Trial of the Asura God Trial, completing the eighth trial of the Sea God's Top-Tier Eight Trials."
Tang Feng was stunned.
Completed Sea God's Top-Tier Eight Trials?
After all that hard work participating in the Sea God Trial, in the end, I only became a part of the Asura God Trial?
Tang Feng looked down at the Asura Demon Sword in his hand, a million curses running through his mind.
He felt the Asura Demon Sword resonate with his soul, as if it were a part of his body. Was this Super Divine Artifact? The embodiment of the Law of Slaughter?
With a thought, Tang Feng sent the Asura Demon Sword into his body as it turned into a red light. Tang Feng felt that it had become connected to his soul, and he could summon it at will during battle.
But then he smiled. This was the perfect harmony between man and weapon that Super Divine Artifact should possess!
It's alright.
He turned around and looked at Zhu Zhuqing was now filled with tenderness and pride.
Tang Feng stepped forward and took her hand.
Let's go.
The two walked out of the stone hall side by side.
As soon as I stepped out of the stone hall, the voice that had appeared in my mind many times before rang out again.
Tang Feng, " Seventh Trial the Top-Tier Eight Trials, having gained the approval of the Asura Demon Sword, passed. No reward."
Zhu Zhuqing, "For assisting Tang Feng in completing the Seventh Trial Seventh Trial Top-Tier Eight Trials, the reward is a one-level increase in Soul Power and a five-thousand-year increase in the age of his Soul Ring."
At this time, Zhu Zhuqing was already Level 89, and the total increase in the age of all the Soul Ring she had obtained had reached 12,000 years.
Her eight Soul Ring have now become: Black, Black, Black, Black, Black, Black, Black, Red.
Just as the two were about to head back, the notification for the Eighth Trial arrived in their minds.
Zhu Zhuqing: " Top-Tier Eight Trials, the Eighth Trial, assist Tang Feng in completing the Eighth Trial."
Tang Feng: " The Top-Tier Eight Trials, the Eighth Trial, require the succession of offspring to be completed within two years."
WTF!!!!
Are you kidding me? Are all the gods in the Divine Realm this boring?
What Tang Feng didn't know was that they were indeed very bored, especially people like the Sea God and the Asura God. As old bachelors who had lived for tens of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands of years, how could they not be bored?
They're probably so bored their minds have started to become twisted.
(PS: The original work is the famous "Resurrect My Love".)
Tang Feng had been grumbling to himself for who knows how long when Zhu Zhuqing's hand brought him back to reality.
Zhu Zhuqing asked, " Brother Feng, what is your Eighth Trial? My Eighth Trial is to assist you and complete it together."
Tang Feng was so embarrassed his forehead was practically dripping with sweat. How could he answer that? He simply couldn't answer it!!!
God!! Save me!!!
No! It should be, "It's a dog! Please save it!!!"
Seeing that Tang Feng remained silent for Jiujiu, Zhu Zhuqing was puzzled. She stepped forward and took his hand. "What's wrong, Brother Feng? Is it difficult?"
Tang Feng opened his mouth, then awkwardly replied, "Uh... uh... my Eighth Trial is... uh... uh..."
Zhu Zhuqing frowned slightly, becoming even more anxious, and hurriedly asked, "Um... um... what kind of assessment is it?"
Seeing Zhu Zhuqing's worried expression, Tang Feng couldn't bear to let her fret. He gritted his teeth, stamped his foot, and said quickly, "My Eighth Trial is to complete the succession of my offspring within two years!"
Then he secretly glanced at Zhu Zhuqing.
Zhu Zhuqing was stunned for a moment, then her face turned bright red with embarrassment.
She lowered her eyes, her eyelashes trembling slightly, too shy to look at him.
Then, she took a small step forward, reached out and wrapped her arms around his waist, buried her face in his chest, and whispered, "I do."
Tang Feng felt a surge of heat rush to his head and then throughout his entire body.
He looked down at the person in his arms, at the blushing face buried against his chest, and felt a ticklish sensation in his heart, as if a million ants were crawling on it.
"Then what are we waiting for? It's nighttime anyway, and there's no one here. Time is of the essence, so let's start the assessment now!" Tang Feng said seriously.
Zhu Zhuqing's face turned even redder, so red it was almost as if it were about to bleed, and she buried her head even deeper.
Tang Feng felt her heart pounding, bent down and picked her up in his arms.
She gasped and wrapped her arms around his neck.
Tang Feng turned around and walked back into the stone hall, closing the stone door with his foot.
Inside the stone hall, only the sound of their intermittent breathing remained.
Nothing more was said that night.
