Chapter 258: The Asura God's Test, Tang San Passes the Seventh Exam of the Twin Gods
"Clang!"
At the very moment Tang San launched his sneak attack, a shield formed of Blue Silver Grass instantly appeared before Su Yun, as if he had anticipated the assault. When Tang San's poison-coated hidden weapon struck it, the sound of clashing metal reverberated.
Immediately, the shield, originally vibrant green, turned black and melted away.
Seeing this, Su Yun narrowed his eyes slightly, thinking to himself, "As expected, even without the support of a poison soul ring, Tang San's knowledge of poisons allows him to concoct potent toxins."
Tang San, noticing that Su Yun's Blue Silver Grass could harden like metal and block his hidden weapon, could not help but look grim.
That hidden weapon had concentrated a significant amount of his power, using the Tang Sect's unique techniques, yet Su Yun had effortlessly blocked it.
"The shield formed by highly compressed Blue Silver Grass—his martial soul's strength might already surpass your Clear Sky Hammer. Tsk tsk..." The Asura God's voice suddenly resonated in Tang San's mind. "This kid can evolve the Blue Silver Grass martial soul to such an extent; it does surprise me a bit."
Tang San, filled with resentment, retorted internally, "That is my mother's martial soul! He just happened to seize it by luck!"
"Hehe, kid, I know the Blue Silver Emperor's martial soul is passed down through bloodlines, but anything is possible." The Asura God chuckled, seemingly to soothe Tang San's feelings. "You possess not only twin martial souls but also the dual divine inheritances from me and that old Seagod. In comparison, the miracles on you are no less than this kid's."
The Asura God's words left Tang San speechless.
Indeed, compared to the dual divine inheritances, a Blue Silver Emperor martial soul was insignificant.
"Is sneaking around all you can do, Tang San?"
Su Yun stretched his limbs slightly, his gaze falling on Tang San's face, which couldn't compare to his own in terms of looks. With a light laugh, he said, "To be honest, I'm not particularly interested in you today. My goal here is simply to take control of the Slaughter City. So, if you know what's good for you, step aside."
Hearing Su Yun's intention to control the Slaughter City, followed by his dismissive words, Tang San squinted and said, "Such arrogance, Su Yun. Do you think you can defeat me, who has already passed the dual divine inheritances?"
Even though Su Yun had reached the Title Douluo realm, Tang San remained unfazed.
After all, he had the presence of the Asura God's consciousness behind him.
"I'm not killing you now only to wait for the right moment." Without a formal order from Ah Yin, Su Yun wouldn't easily take Tang San's life. However, making him suffer a bit was still within his reach.
"The Asura God chose me, so naturally, the Slaughter City belongs to me!"
Tang San, infuriated by Su Yun's words, clenched his fists. To him, it seemed like he was of no consequence to Su Yun. He gathered strength in his legs and leapt high into the air, shouting, "In my territory, you dare act so arrogantly, Su Yun. Today, I will utterly annihilate you here!"
"I spared your life that day, and now you still want to confront me head-on. You truly are incorrigible." Su Yun shook his head. Then, with a light step, thousands of Blue Silver Grass stalks sprouted from under his feet like bamboo shoots after a rain, and a colossal Blue Silver Divine Tree bloomed behind him.
"Blue Silver Sea!"
"Sixth Soul Skill, Blue Silver Spring and Autumn Domain!" Su Yun didn't want to waste time on Tang San; he just wanted to finish things quickly.
The next second, soul power waves emanated from his body like ripples, rapidly expanding outward. In an instant, they covered a radius of a hundred meters, and even Tang San in midair couldn't escape.
However, to Su Yun's surprise, in his view, Tang San's descent speed didn't slow; it actually increased!
Moreover, the Asura God's power around him also surged!
"Trying to resist the erosion of time with divine power?" Su Yun smiled, ready to intensify his restrictions on Tang San. Yet, in the next moment, a sudden sense of foreboding hit him.
"Swish!"
In an instant, another black light shot out from Tang San's bosom!
A sword energy!
Murderous intent surged!
Su Yun only felt this sword's speed was extreme!
"Substitution Technique!"
Su Yun's figure instantly disappeared from view, reappearing in the Blue Silver Forest the next second.
Before he could catch his breath, that streak of sword energy suddenly magnified in the sky and struck down with unstoppable force right in front of him!
In an instant, the vast Blue Silver Forest, which had occupied a hundred-meter radius, turned to dust!
The murderous intent of the Asura God resonated throughout the Slaughter City, causing red lightning to flash across the sky accompanied by booming thunder.
'Tang San' descended, looking at the shattered ground he had cleaved, his eyes showing little emotion. After all, the Blue Silver Divine Tree was still intact, indicating that Su Yun hadn't suffered much damage.
As the scattered Blue Silver Grass fell to the ground and Su Yun emerged from within, he glanced at Tang San in the distance and softly said, "Asura Descends?"
Even if Su Yun were a fool, he could tell that the previous sword strike was far beyond Tang San's usual hidden weapon skills.
Moreover, with the surge of Asura God's power from Tang San earlier, Su Yun could infer that the Asura God, like the Rakshasa God, had used a trace of his divine consciousness to descend to the Douluo Continent through Tang San.
"Kid, you know me?" 'Tang San' gazed at Su Yun, holding the Asura Divine Sword, which was formed by black flames. Although it wasn't the original, its supreme divine power was palpable.
Su Yun realized his guess was correct and shook his sleeves, saying, "That sword strike was definitely not within Tang San's capabilities; it must have been executed by a senior like you."
The Asura God laughed heartily: "Good boy, that sword strike of mine, even an average Title Douluo couldn't have avoided it, yet you managed to block it with a large amount of Blue Silver Grass. That's quite a feat."
Su Yun asked, "Why did you descend to the mortal realm, senior?"
"Could it be that you borrowed Tang San's body just to deliver a single strike to me?"
Su Yun thought that the Asura God wouldn't have such idle time.
"Hehe, first, I descended because the Rakshasa Goddess suffered a setback from you." The Asura God's first statement caused Su Yun's face to change, recalling the events in the secret chamber that day.
"The second reason is simple. I wanted to see the abilities of someone who received the divine inheritance from the God of Time, a god I've never heard of!"
"Again!"
As the Asura God's voice fell, another wave of surging murderous intent burst forth from Tang San!
Instantly, the entire Slaughter City began to tremble!
Countless sinners hiding within the city, seeking madness, felt the overwhelming murderous intent like a tidal wave and knelt to the ground.
A black-clad woman, who had been following Tang Chen, widened her eyes at the stronger-than-ever Asura murderous intent, staring at the area where the action had just taken place.
"What exactly is happening?"
Though the black-clad woman wanted to know what was happening, her rationality told her that approaching would mean certain death!
At this moment, at the center of the Slaughter City.
Two streams of light clashed fiercely in the sky.
One stream, enveloped in Asura's murderous intent, surged with red-black soul power like a river; the other stream was filled with an indescribable essence, gold and green intertwined, everything near it gradually annihilated into nothingness.
"Bang!"
Amidst the thunderous roar, the two streams of light separated by hundreds of meters, with two figures standing suspended in the air.
"What a peculiar kid." The Asura God, with a serious expression, stared at Su Yun, "My attack gets twisted, diminished, and finally annihilated within a meter of you. Is this the power of time?"
The power of time grinds everything to dust, even the hardest rocks will eventually vanish under the sands of time.
What Su Yun did was use time power to accelerate the Asura God's attack. No matter how strong the attack, its power would diminish over time until it disappeared.
The Asura God intended to gauge Su Yun's divine power, and he had now experienced it, only to describe it with two words—perverse!
Unless one's divine power quantity could overwhelm the opponent, it was nearly impossible to inflict any harm, as each attack would be eroded by time power.
As Su Yun saw the Asura God halting his attack from afar, he was about to speak when, in the next moment, the figure suddenly rushed away!
Until Su Yun couldn't see his silhouette.
Su Yun: "?"
What does this mean?
…
"Senior, why did you leave just like that?" At this moment, Tang San had regained control of his body, puzzled as to why the Asura God didn't continue fighting Su Yun.
Wouldn't it be shameful for a god to flee halfway through a battle?
"Kid, the divine power I can maintain in this realm is limited, and I've already expended too much fighting Su Yun just now," the Asura God explained. "If we were in the God Realm, I could easily suppress him since he has only just set foot there."
"But once he establishes himself in the God Realm, even the God Kings might find him unstoppable."
Hearing this, Tang San gasped, "Is the power of time really that terrifying?"
"Of course."
"For thousands of years, countless sages have sought to master the way of time and achieve divinity."
"But the way of time is not so easily comprehended."
"Over the years, only a few have even touched upon a fraction of the principles of time."
The Asura God sighed, "This kid is indeed extraordinary. Tang San, if you want to defeat him, your only chance is here on the Douluo Continent."
"So what should I do now?" Tang San took a deep breath and asked.
"With your current strength, you can forcibly wield the Sea God Trident."
"Or you can use the methods I taught you during the Asura God Trials to break through Su Yun's blockade within the Sea God's Heart."
"In any case, you must swiftly complete the nine tests given to you by the gods."
"I took you away because I feared Su Yun would change his mind and attack you after seizing control of the Slaughter City."
At these words, Tang San asked, "Senior, can't I control the Slaughter City with you here?"
The Asura God shook his head, "You can only truly control the Slaughter City if you become the Asura God. For now, you must pass its trials."
"Your great-grandfather also fought his way out through my trials."
"You have only passed the sixth test so far; you still lack experience."
Tang San remarked, "Su Yun must have a purpose for wanting to control the Slaughter City."
The Asura God responded, "It's simple. He wants to master the Killing God Domain. If I'm not mistaken, he's preparing for his people in the Spirit Empire."
"What?!"
Hearing Su Yun's scheme, Tang San raised his eyebrows in surprise.
If he had known Su Yun's goal was this, he would have stopped him at all costs!
Soldiers with the Killing God Domain would have a massive impact on the soldiers of the Heaven Dou Empire!
"I understand your concerns, which is why you need to accelerate your progress towards divinity. Time waits for no one!" The Asura God reminded Tang San. "You need to hurry back to Sea God Island now and focus on nothing else."
"My remaining power should be enough to protect you back to Sea God Island. Your priority now is to pass the Sea God's Nine Tests and the Asura's Nine Tests, understood?"
Tang San nodded firmly, "Understood!"
...
After Tang San returned to Sea God Island, Su Yun took less than a month to completely seize control of the Slaughter City.
As for the original criminals of the Slaughter City, the Spirit Empire gathered a large number of death warriors to eliminate them all.
For a while, the Slaughter City became the Spirit Empire's private playground.
Moreover, everyone no longer needed to achieve a hundred victories to enter the Hell Road; anyone could qualify.
However, due to Su Yun's changes to the rules, the conditions for passing the Hell Road became more stringent.
Only one person could enter at a time!
Even so, the Spirit Empire's death warriors, trained for many years, entered the Hell Road one after another.
Finally, after the deaths of hundreds of death warriors, one emerged successfully with the Killing God Domain!
This death warrior immediately joined the battlefield. With the aid of the Killing God Domain, his unit's soldiers showed explosive combat strength, terrifying their enemies, and winning almost every battle!
In no time, the Spirit Empire seized many cities around the Heaven Dou Empire, both unclaimed and owned.
This gradual encroachment greatly worried the Heaven Dou royal family, especially Emperor Xue Ye, who became increasingly anxious as he received no news from Sea God Island, and began pressing the top three sects for answers.
On this day, news finally arrived from Sea God Island.
Tang San had successfully passed the seventh Sea God Trial and pulled out the Sea God Trident!
Simultaneously, he passed the seventh Asura Trial and drew the Asura Divine Sword!
