"In that case, Senior Tang Xiao, please inform Senior Tang Chen of our arrival," Qi Ling said. "So that we can quickly devise a strategy to deal with this situation involving Xiao San."
Tang Xiao shook his head helplessly and said, "Actually, we've encountered a problem regarding this."
"After the patriarch went into seclusion, a malevolent aura continuously emanated from the cave where he was, making it impossible for anyone to approach. Even I couldn't withstand it for long."
" Qi Ling, to my shame, if you want to find the Ancestor, you'll probably have to go find him yourself."
Hearing Tang Xiao say this, Qi Ling became even more certain of her judgment. Tang Chen probably didn't have much time left. Only someone who was on their last legs would be unable to control their power and affect the surrounding environment.
"Alright, I'll go myself," Qi Ling said. " Xiao Wu, you guys wait for me here. Don't move Xiao San. I'll be right back."
Led by a member of the Clear Sky Sect, Qi Ling arrived at a mountain peak behind the mountain, where Tang Chen was in a cave.
Upon reaching the summit, Qi Ling frowned. From his perspective, judging by the imposing aura, the entire mountain seemed shrouded in darkness, resembling a demonic mountain from hell.
Without further ado, Qi Ling headed towards the cave. The closer she got to the cave, the stronger the aura became. Once inside, Qi Ling felt as if she were walking in a thick darkness.
No wonder Tang Xiao looked troubled. Such murderous aura was indeed not something anyone could withstand. Anyone below the level of Titled Douluo would probably go insane the moment they stepped into this place, and even Titled Douluo wouldn't last long.
Following the cave, Qi Ling walked for about a hundred meters and finally arrived at a relatively spacious stone chamber. To Qi Ling's surprise, Tang Chen was sitting right in the center of the chamber, his expression still quite calm.
Qi Ling originally thought that the murderous aura here was so intense that Tang Chen would have to constantly restrain his own killing intent, and might even have to chain her up. It seems that she had underestimated him.
Seeing Qi Ling appear, Tang Chen wasn't surprised. Instead, as if he had known all along, he slowly said, "You're here? Then Xiao San must have encountered the Asura Test and is having some difficulties, right?"
Qi Ling nodded and said, "Indeed, Xiao San is currently being corrupted by the Asura Divine Power and is on the verge of losing his original self, so we brought him here to see if you have any solutions."
Tang Chen shook his head and said, "There's no way around it. The Asura Assessment is both the simplest and the hardest. If you survive it, you'll become the Asura God; if you don't, you'll just become a killing machine."
"I was lucky to regain consciousness after the failure, but it also drained my life force, leaving me with no choice but to wait for the Xiao San in this way. But the help I can offer him is minimal; everything depends on him."
Qi Ling frowned and said, "Is there really no way at all? Are we just supposed to watch?"
"You might be able to come up with a way to help the Xiao San, but ultimately it's up to him to decide," Tang Chen said. "Let's go, I'll go out with you first and meet the Xiao San, so I can make the final move."
Tang Chen reached out, and the Asura Blood Sword, which was nowhere to be found, suddenly burst forth from the ground and came into Tang Chen's hand. At this moment, Tang Chen regained his powerful aura, and all the surrounding evil energy was swept away.
Qi Ling knew that Tang Chen was burning the last of his life force to give himself a final burst of energy in order to complete his mission. No matter the outcome, he had no chance of surviving.
With respect for Tang Chen, Qi Ling emerged from seclusion with him and arrived in the hall. The people of the Clear Sky Sect were overjoyed to see their ancestor emerge from seclusion, but Tang Chen ignored them and went directly to Tang San.
"It seems that the necklace on his chest protected him," Tang Chen said. "No wonder, no wonder."
" Qi Ling, take off the necklace from Xiao San's chest. If you want to take the Asura Assessment, you can't rely on its power."
"But once this necklace is removed, Xiao San will be invaded by the Divine Power the Asura God. What should we do?" Qi Ling said helplessly.
"It's alright, this is something that must be done Asura Assessment. He can only pass the test by relying on his own willpower!" Tang Chen said. "During this time, we just need to withstand his attacks until he regains his senses, otherwise the test will fail."
Everyone was already mentally prepared for this situation, so Qi Ling no longer hesitated and stepped forward to take the necklace from Tang San's chest.
Without the suppression of the Heart of the Ocean, Tang San's Asura Power erupted, and he seemed to be shrouded in blood-red light, completely losing his former gentle and refined image.
When he opened his eyes, revealing his bloodshot pupils, and let out a roar like that of a wild beast, his ferocious aura immediately forced everyone back.
Then, behind Tang San, the Eight Spider Lances suddenly appeared, but they transformed into something resembling wings. Tang San then flapped his wings and immediately charged towards Tang Chen.
At this moment, Tang Chen, wielding the Asura Blood Sword, blocked Tang San's attack, but Tang San carried him into the sky. The two then engaged in a fierce battle in the air, turning the sky blood red.
At this moment, Tang Chen also unleashed a murderous aura no less powerful than Tang San's, and it was this power that attracted Tang San to attack him.
When invaded by the Asura Divine Power, Tang San would instinctively seek out an opponent who was also filled with evil energy. That's why Tang Chen became his target. What he had to do was to withstand Tang San's attacks until Tang San was able to control the power in his body.
" Qi Ling, what should we do? The Ancestor and Tang San are fighting. Whom should we help?" Tang Xiao and the other elders of the Clear Sky Sect were extremely anxious but didn't know what to do.
Qi Ling said helplessly, "Senior Tang Xiao, you don't need to fight. This is a battle that Senior Tang Chen, as the guardian of the Godhood, and Tang San, as the examinee, must fight."
"Furthermore, if I may be frank, esteemed seniors, this battle is not something you can interfere with."
Indeed, although the elders of the Clear Sky Sect were all Titled Douluo, they were still far from being able to fight at this level. To Tang San at this moment, they were no different from unarmed ordinary people.
However, the Asura Assessment is different from other Godhood. Tang San's task is not to defeat Tang Chen, but to defeat himself and come back to his senses from this state of madness.
As time went on, Tang Chen gradually showed signs of defeat, but he showed no intention of backing down. Instead, he adopted an attitude of fighting to the death.
Seeing Tang Chen's reckless fighting style, Qi Ling suddenly shuddered and exclaimed in shock, " Tang Chen... he wouldn't be planning to do this to save his Xiao San, would he? That senile old man, he's going to ruin Xiao San life!"
