What happened next was no longer of Tang Feng's concern.
The Spirit Hall Empire's top combat force was completely wiped out, with none of the twenty-one Titled Douluo surviving, Bibi Dong, Qian Daoliu, and Qian Renxue.
With the Spirit Hall Empire leaderless, the Clear Sky Empire only needs to take over the territory, reorganize the army, and appease the people step by step to bring the Spirit Hall Empire into its territory.
Fighting wars is difficult, but governing is even more difficult, but there are people who are better at these things.
Tang Xiao was discussing the plan to take over the city of the Spirit Hall Empire with Marshal Ge Long, Ning Fengzhi had begun to mobilize civil officials to take over the administration, and Tang Lie was leading the Asura Army to maintain order. Everything was in good order.
Tang Feng handed over the rest of the business to them. He then led Zhu Zhuqing, Dugu Yan, Tang Jian, and other companions away from Jialing Pass and returned to Cloud Mist Mountain.
Next, they had more important things to do.
In Tang Feng's courtyard on Cloud Mist Mountain, a lively atmosphere prevailed.
A group of people surrounded the two little ones, teasing and cuddling them.
After the commotion subsided, Tang Feng summoned everyone to the secret room.
The group sat in a circle, Tang Feng took out pieces of Soul Bone from his Storage Soul Tool and placed them on the table in front of him.
These are spoils of war collected on the battlefield, each piece enough to drive any Soul Master mad.
" Sister Yan, you only need one more Left Arm Bone to complete the Eighth Trial of the Sea God."
Tang Feng picked up a piece of Left Arm Bone that was entirely purple-gold and handed it to Dugu Yan. "This is Bibi Dong's 100,000-year-old Left Arm Bone. I've already purified it with Asura Divine Power, so you can absorb it with peace of mind."
Dugu Yan accepted the Soul Bone, nodded slightly, and said nothing more.
Tang Feng then took out three more Soul Bone: an 80,000-year-old Head Soul Bone, a 100,000-year-old Right Arm Bone, and an 80,000-year-old Left Arm Bone.
He handed the Soul Bone to Zhu Zhuqing: " Zhu Zhuqing, your Soul Bone configuration is still missing the head, right arm, and left arm. Here are three pieces: Bibi Dong's skull and Right Arm Bone, and the Left Arm Bone left by Ancestor Tang Chen. Absorb them all, and you'll have all six Soul Bone."
Zhu Zhuqing nodded and accepted the Soul Bone.
Tang Feng then distributed the other Soul Bone to everyone present.
"Alright, the Soul Bone have been distributed."
Tang Feng looked around at everyone, his gaze sweeping across each face.
"Next, everyone go about their own business. Sister Yan needs to go to Sea God Island to complete the Ninth Trial of the Sea God. Zhu Zhuqing needs to enter the Darkness Secret Realm to complete the Darkness God Trials. I need to go into seclusion to break through to Level 99 and then complete the Asura Inheritance."
" Brother Jian, Ling- Sister Lingling, Little Ao, Tai Long- Rongrong, Tai-long, Niu Zhen, Chen- Chenxiang, you all accompany Sister Yan to Sea God Island."
Everyone nodded in agreement.
That night, Dugu Yan completed the absorption of the Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone, and her Soul Power reached Level 97.
A familiar, majestic voice echoed deep within her mind, " Eighth Trial the Sea God Nine Trials: Gather all six Soul Bone in your body, reach Soul Power Level 97, exceeding expectations. Reward: Soul Power increases by two levels, Sea God Affinity increases by ten percent, total affinity is one hundred percent."
Dugu Yan's Soul Power has reached Level 99. She needs to go to Sea God Island immediately to complete the Ninth Trial of the Sea God.
They set off the next day, and this time they traveled without stopping, so they should arrive very soon.
After watching them leave, Tang Feng and Zhu Zhuqing went into the secret chamber to cultivate in seclusion.
After absorbing the three Soul Bone, Zhu Zhuqing's Soul Power also broke through to Level 97, which gave her more confidence in completing the test in the Darkness Secret Realm.
At the same time, in Star Luo City.
When Tang San escaped back to Star Luo City, he stormed directly into the Star Luo Imperial Palace.
Dai Mubai was drinking and making merry in his palace. News of the allied forces' crushing defeat had not yet reached him, and he was unaware of what had happened at the front.
He saw Tang San storm in and was about to explain something.
Then he saw Tang San's Eight Spider Lances suddenly emerge from behind him, eight sharp Spider Spear stabbing towards him.
With his Martial Soul Possession, Dai Mubai saw the phantom of the Evil Eye White Tiger appear behind him.
He wanted to resist, but how could Soul Emperor like him be a match for Tang San, who was at Level 95?
Spider Spear pierced his limbs and shoulders, pinning Dai Mubai to the ground. He was unable to move, and blood gushed from the wounds.
" The Little San... no..."
Dai Mubai's eyes were filled with fear, and his voice trembled.
"We are brothers... we are brothers..."
However, Tang San had completely gone mad.
There was not a trace of emotion in his eyes.
Black light surged wildly across the Eight Spider Lances.
Dai Mubai's life force and Soul Power surged into Tang San's body along the Spider Spear.
His body shriveled up at a visible rate, his skin wrinkled, his bones protruded, and he looked like a mummy that had been drained of all its moisture.
At the last moment, Dai Mubai's lips moved as if he wanted to say something, but no sound came out.
The light in his eyes was completely extinguished.
Tang San retrieved the Eight Spider Lances, immediately feeling the Evil God Power within his body become even stronger. He left his bedchamber and headed deeper into the Star Luo Imperial Palace.
That night, Star Luo City was stained with blood.
The entire Star Luo Imperial Family, from the emperor to the princes, from the princes to the princesses, was slaughtered by Tang San.
None of the palace guards, maids, or eunuchs who stood in his way escaped his death.
The Eight Spider Lances devoured one life after another, and the Evil God Power grew wildly within him.
At dawn, Tang San walked out of the Star Luo Imperial Palace. His young face now looked like a demon from hell.
" The Evil God Nine Trials, the Sixth Trial, Completed."
He murmured, a cruel smile curving his lips.
"It'll be soon, it'll be soon... Tang Feng, you just wait!"
One month later.
Behind Cloud Mist Mountain, in a secluded, secret chamber.
Tang Feng sat cross-legged, surrounded by a dark golden light.
Suddenly, a surge of immense Soul Power erupted from within him, propelling him to Level 99 and breaking through.
Tang Feng opened his eyes, and in his mind, the majestic voice of the Asura God resounded. " The Eighth Trial of the Asura God Trial: Soul Power cultivation to Level 99, completed. Asura God Affinity increased by fifteen percent, total affinity one hundred percent. The Ninth Trial of the Asura God Trial: Activation of the Asura Godhood Inheritance."
Golden light descended from the sky, enveloping Tang Feng.
Tang Feng closed his eyes, letting the immense divine power surge into his body.
The Clear Sky Hammer appeared in his palm, and the dark golden light on its body began to transform into pure gold.
That was a divine transformation, a sublimation from mortal to divine.
Three days and three nights.
When the door to the secret chamber opened again, Tang Feng was no longer an ordinary person.
He wore a dark gold divine robe, holding the Asura Demon Sword in one hand and the Clear Sky Divine Hammer in the other. The Flame Dragon Wings on his back had evolved into the Asura God Wings, and his entire body 'Soul Bone had evolved into divine-level Soul Bone.
Beneath his feet were eight red and two gold rings, ten terrifying Soul Ring that pulsed slowly.
A new generation of Asura God has been born.
Moreover, Tang Feng fused the inner core of the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King into his Clear Sky Hammer, and then nurtured it with his own divine power, making it a true Super Divine Artifact.
Now, his Clear Sky Hammer has turned pure gold and its weight has doubled, now reaching 1.08 million jin.
Zhu Zhuqing is still in seclusion; in the Darkness Secret Realm, her Nine Trials of Darkness are proceeding at an accelerated pace.
Almost at the same moment, on Sea God Island, thousands of miles away.
In the Sea God Hall, Dugu Yan descended from the sky, wielding the Sea God Trident.
She had also completed the Sea God Inheritance, and her whole body radiated a soft golden light. Under her feet were ten Soul Ring: six black, three red, and one blue-gold.
A new generation of Sea God is born.
After the inheritance ended, the dissipated divine power surged out of Dugu Yan's body like a tide, enveloping everyone present.
Tang Jian, Oscar, Ye Lingling, Ning Rongrong, Tai Long, Niu Zhen, and Bai Chenxiang were all enveloped in that warm, azure light.
Tang Jian felt his Soul Power surging wildly within him, like boiling magma.
Level 96, Level 97, Level 98 —three advancements in total—brought him just one step away from becoming Peerless Douluo. Once he reached Level 99, he could unlock the God of War Nine Trials.
Under the impact of the Sea God's scattered divine power, Ye Lingling, Oscar, and Ning Rongrong quickly broke through the bottleneck of the Titled Douluo.
After absorbing the God-Given Soul Ring, Oscar and Ning Rongrong Level 95, Ye Lingling Level 94.
All three had Soul Ring Configuration of two yellow, two purple, three black, and two red.
Oscar and Ning Rongrong received the inheritances of the Food God Inheritance and the Nine-Colored Goddess Inheritance.
Ye Lingling received the inheritance of the God of Healing, a Second-Level God under the Life God King, who was in charge of healing power.
Tai Long, Niu Zhen, and Bai Chenxiang also broke through Level 80. After absorbing the God-Given Soul Ring, they leaped to the peak of Level 88, just one step away from becoming Titled Douluo.
