Chapter 539: Chapter 539: Returning to the Land of the Blue Silver King?
After returning to her chambers, Bibi Dong immediately entered the Rakshasa Realm.
Upon entry, a dark light surrounded her.
[Rakshasa's Eighth Test: Master 50% of the evil energy within the Pure Heart Pearl, ensuring that Yu Xiaogang loses everything and perishes. Task completed. Reward: 10% increase in affinity with Rakshasa God. Current Rakshasa affinity: 85%.]
Bibi Dong thought, Is the only reward just an increase in affinity with the Rakshasa God?
[Rakshasa God's Ninth Test: Master 100% of the evil energy in the Pure Heart Pearl. Upon completion, subsequent tasks will be issued.]
What will the Ninth Test entail? Bibi Dong wondered. The first subtask alone—controlling 100% of the evil energy—would take considerable time.
Elsewhere, the God of Asura, controlling Tang Hao, forcefully took Tang San from Spirit City. Not long after leaving the city, the God of Asura withdrew from Tang Hao's body.
Tang Hao's aura weakened, blood poured from his mouth, and his face turned pale.
"Father! Are you alright?" Tang San asked, alarmed.
"Lord Asura, what happened to him?" he continued, worried.
The God of Asura replied coldly, "This is normal. Your father is merely human; bearing my divine power is beyond him, even though I held back. Fortunately, he has six spirit bones and a formidable body from practicing the Haotian Sect's ring detonation technique, which reduced the damage to just severe injury. However, he won't be able to use his spirit for a month."
"If he were an ordinary Titled Douluo, he would have died instantly. Be grateful for having such a father. Without him, I couldn't have gotten you out of there."
Tang San, realizing his father would be essentially powerless for a month, understood they were in a vulnerable state. They were now wanted by Spirit Hall, and if Spirit Hall's forces found them…
Tang San looked at the God of Asura's residual presence.
The God of Asura, noticing Tang San's expression, continued, "Don't rely too heavily on me. I only intervened because I left part of my consciousness within the Killing God Domain as a means to screen my successor."
"Originally, Bibi Dong was a better candidate, possessing twin spirits and considerable power. Yet, for various reasons, I chose you."
"Now, my remaining power within Tang Hao's Killing God Domain can only assist you once more. My advice? Head for the Slaughter City and begin your God of Asura trials. The first trial requires obtaining the Killing God Domain."
"Slaughter City?" Tang San asked, puzzled. He had heard from Yu Xiaogang that it was a place where dark spirit masters were held. Was the Killing God Domain obtained there?
"Cough…"
Seeing Tang Hao cough, Tang San quickly supported him. "Father, are you alright?"
Tang Hao shook his head weakly. "I'll be fine." He looked at the God of Asura, bowing slightly. "Lord Asura, I had initially planned for San to train in the Slaughter City a year after the Spirit Master Tournament to obtain the Killing God Domain. But given his current strength, won't it be dangerous for him?"
In the original story, Tang Hao dared to send Tang San, a Spirit King, to the Slaughter City because Tang San's Blue Silver Emperor bloodline had awakened. With the Haotian Hammer and secret techniques from the Haotian Sect, he believed Tang San could survive the trials. Moreover, Tang Hao, as a Killing God, could enter the city himself, ready to save his son if things got too dangerous.
"Perhaps, Lord Asura, I should first take San to the Blue Silver King's homeland in Star Dou Forest to awaken his Blue Silver Emperor bloodline."
"But, Father," Tang San interrupted, "last time we were there…"
"That was then," Tang Hao replied. "This time, we'll wait outside if the Blue Silver King doesn't emerge. If it refuses, it forfeits its right to exist."
"The Blue Silver King knows you're A'Yin's son. She entrusted it with your care. If it now refuses to help, it's betrayed her. As her husband, it's my duty to set things right."
"You can then absorb the Blue Silver King's power into your own Blue Silver Grass, enhancing it to the Blue Silver King. After that, we'll figure out the rest." Tang Hao's weak face hardened with determination. He had managed to secure the God of Asura's favor and couldn't afford any mistakes.
If San could ascend to godhood before Bibi Dong, defeating Spirit Hall would be as easy as crushing a stone.
Judging by the God of Asura's attitude toward Bibi Dong and Qian Daoliu, his strength surely surpassed theirs.
Unaware that Su Ming had been chosen by the Goddess of Life shortly after their escape, Tang Hao made his decision.
The God of Asura said indifferently, "Very well. Remember, this is your last warning: I can only assist one more time. If you're endangered, I'll use this final intervention to teleport Tang San directly to the Slaughter City. This means…"
With a final glance at Tang Hao, the God of Asura's presence vanished.
Tang Hao understood that in the event of danger, the God of Asura would save Tang San, but he would be left behind.
It was clear the God of Asura's remaining power within the Killing God Domain was limited.
Tang San asked hesitantly, "Father, do you think Mother would blame us if we kill the Blue Silver King?"
Tang Hao shook his head. "No. If she knew it was obstructing you, she would understand. The Blue Silver Emperor is an absolute ruler among its kind, and no one may resist."
Reassured by his father's words, Tang San's worries subsided.
