Chapter 280. The High Priest of the God of Asura, Tang Chen.
The God of Asura in the God Realm was utterly disappointed in Tang Chen. He had originally planned to ignore him, but considering that Tang Chen was Tang San's great-grandfather, and that the Spirit Hall had become a huge threat to his precious treasure, the God of Asura couldn't always protect his treasure, otherwise he would definitely be impeached by the God Realm Committee.
Therefore, strengthening the protectors of his treasure was very important, which was why the God of Asura had awakened Tang Chen so quickly.
Hearing the words of the God of Asura, Tang Chen's eyes were filled with resentment and anger.
His divine test had been downgraded to the top-level ninth test, which meant that he was now completely bound to the God of Asura, becoming his high priest, and no longer qualified to become a god.
Back then, he was just one step away from completing the divine test, just one step away from becoming a god. That damned Crimson Nine-Headed Bat King ruined all his plans and made him forever lose the qualification to become a god.
He ultimately became an existence like Qian Daoliu and Poseidon.
Remembering what Xixi had said years ago—that she would only choose a man who could become a god—
Tang Chen's path to godhood was now permanently blocked.
After the God Trial was downgraded, the Asura Demon Sword awarded Tang Chen the reward of the top-tier Eight Trials.
Tang Chen's nine spirit rings—yellow-yellow-purple-purple-black-black-black-black-red—had their age limit changed to eight black and one red under the influence of the Asura God's power.
This configuration didn't stir any emotion in Tang Chen. He had seen configurations exceeding their age limit before; Qian Daoliu and Xixi had such configurations, and he wasn't envious at all. After all, it meant they had reached their limit, while he was the one among the three who had a chance to ascend to godhood.
But now, all three Limit Douluo had become enshrined figures, and their configurations were the same.
Tang Chen shook his head, stood up, and looked at Tang Hao beside him. Suddenly, Tang Chen said to the Asura Demon Sword, "Lord Asura God, Tang Hao has completed the Trial of the City of Slaughter and obtained the Domain of the God of Slaughter. I wonder if he can become the next examiner for the Asura God?"
The Asura Demon Sword spun twice in mid-air and replied, "He is not qualified yet. Moreover, I have already chosen the examiner. Just let him complete the examination step by step."
Hearing this, a fierce glint flashed in Tang Chen's eyes!
He hadn't expected the Asura God's examination to appear so quickly. The meaning of the examiner to a Grand Elder was self-evident. Tang Chen would have to give his life after the nine examinations to pave the way for the new Asura God's divine path.
If the examiner were Tang Hao, Tang Chen wouldn't care; after all, it's his own business. As long as the geniuses of his Haotian Sect could become gods, Tang Chen would be willing. But who knew who this mysterious examiner was, who would emerge from some obscure corner, and whether he, Tang Chen, would have to pay with his life for him?
No, he had to find a way to trip him up during the examination. No one but someone from his Haotian Sect could inherit the Asura God's position.
Tang Chen made up his mind.
"Grandpa, I've finally seen you again!" Tang Hao ran up to Tang Chen, his admiration overflowing as he looked at Tang Chen's broad back and imposing figure.
Seeing Tang Hao, the gloom in Tang Chen's heart vanished. He patted Tang Hao's shoulder and laughed loudly, "Hahahaha, the little snot-nosed brat from back then has grown so much!"
"Hao'er, how is the Clear Sky Sect doing while I was away?" Tang Chen asked.
Hearing Tang Chen's question, Tang Hao's eyes narrowed, and then he said in a tearful voice, "Grandpa, you must stand up for our Clear Sky Sect!"
"What? What happened?" Tang Chen felt a pang of unease seeing his grown man sobbing.
Tang Hao then recounted in detail how the Spirit Hall had oppressed the Clear Sky Sect.
After Tang Chen disappeared, the Spirit Hall and the Clear Sky Sect lived in peace until Tang Hao fell in love with a 100,000-year-old spirit beast, which triggered hostility between the Spirit Hall and the Clear Sky Sect.
Then, Tang Hao unleashed his full power, severely injuring Qian Xunji and an elder of the Spirit Hall, and even killed another elder. Tang Chen laughed loudly and said, "Hahahaha, good, good, good, not bad at all! As expected of my descendant, Tang Chen! This is how you deal with the Spirit Hall!"
"But, Grandpa," Tang Hao, a burly man, shed tears, wiping them away, and said, "Ah Yin was forced to sacrifice herself by the Spirit Hall because of this."
Tang Chen said, "The Spirit Hall is not acting like human children. What's wrong with liking spirit beasts? Even if they are spirit beasts, love is enough. Hao'er, Grandpa supports you in this matter. When we return to the Clear Sky Sect and heal your injuries, Grandpa will take you to collect the debt. Continue."
Hearing Tang Chen's words, Tang Hao felt a surge of warmth in his heart. If his grandfather, who was once invincible and looked down upon the world, were still here, would Qian Xunji dare to force him like this?
So, Tang Hao continued.
When Tang Hao mentioned fearing his affairs would implicate the sect, he chose to leave. Tang Chen said, "Silly boy, the Clear Sky Sect is your greatest protection. Why leave? Although I'm gone, my agreement with Qian Daoliu remains, and my influence is still there. I doubt the Spirit Hall would dare do anything."
Later, when Tang Hao mentioned having a son with Ah Yin, a twin spirit with innate full spirit power, Tang Chen stroked his beard and laughed, saying, "Hahaha, the Clear Sky Sect truly produces talented individuals generation after generation!"
Twin spirits, innate full spirit power—considering him and Tang Hao, Tang Chen could already see an even more glorious future for the Clear Sky Sect.
However, what happened next completely baffled Tang Chen.
Tang Hao discovered that Ah Yin's life seed had been stolen by the Spirit Hall. Enraged, he demolished several cities belonging to the Spirit Hall. The Spirit Hall used this as a pretext to attack the Clear Sky Sect, massacring the sect and killing all the descendants with innate level 7 spirit power, those taller than a cartwheel, and all the elders.
Even his beloved grandson, Xiao'er, was transformed into Yang Guo. His good-for-nothing son, Tang Tian, and his precious granddaughter were also taken to the Spirit Hall. The granddaughter was abused by Qian Xunji, and the son was chopped into a human stick by the Spirit Hall.
Then, the Clear Sky Sect was forced into hiding in a corner by the Spirit Hall. The women were taken away, leaving only a group of bachelors with nowhere to vent their anger.
The Spirit Hall was trying to physically exterminate the Clear Sky Sect!
In an instant, the killing intent emanating from Tang Chen spread out. This was a killing intent domain even more terrifying than Tang Hao's. In the center of the sea of blood energy and killing intent, Tang Chen was like a world-destroying Asura.
His eyes were bloodshot, and he gasped for breath, "Spirit Hall, good, good Spirit Hall! Good, Qian Daoliu! Good, Qian Xunji! I, Tang Chen, have disappeared for decades. Have you forgotten my remaining power? How dare you treat my Clear Sky Sect like this! You will pay the price!"
