Xu Tianyang and Snow Empress quietly watched the raging Tang Chen. For Tang Chen, was this matter right or wrong?
If he hadn't pursued the realm of a Level 100 God back then, he wouldn't have left the Clear Sky Sect. With him in charge, Qian Xunji might not have dared to act against Tang Hao after learning Ah Yin's identity.
And then, a series of subsequent tragedies wouldn't have occurred.
However, at that time, Tang Chen, already at Level 99, was not wrong to pursue the realm of becoming a Level 100 God.
Everything was a result of time and fate.
After a long while, Tang Chen's emotions gradually calmed down, the bloody tears stopped flowing, and his gaze became focused again as he looked at Xu Tianyang.
"Young man, I sense the aura of a God on you. Whose God's inheritance have you obtained?"
"This junior was fortunate enough to meet the Sea God," Xu Tianyang said, nodding without any concealment.
"Sea God!?" Tang Chen's tall, profound figure swayed slightly, and a trace of recollection flashed in his eyes.
"You are luckier than I am. Perhaps you truly can break through that shackles and become a Level 100 God."
"This junior also believes I can do it, because I have countless expectations behind me," Xu Tianyang said, nodding seriously and confidently.
Looking at the confident Xu Tianyang, Tang Chen's eyes widened, as if he saw his younger self. Unfortunately, everything was irreversible; his body could no longer hold on.
Watching the constant flashes of blood vessels on his body, Tang Chen's expression changed repeatedly, a look of struggle flashing across his face.
He wanted to return to the sect he had loved his entire life, and at the same time, he couldn't let go of Poseixi.
However, his body could no longer support running between the two, so he could only choose one, which made it extremely difficult for him to decide.
Tang Chen suddenly turned to look at Xu Tianyang, and after a moment of thought, he spoke, "Young man, I have something I'd like to ask for your help with."
"Please speak, senior," Xu Tianyang said, probably guessing what it was, as he looked at Tang Chen.
"I'd like to ask you to deliver this token to Hao'er. He'll know what to do," Tang Chen said, reaching into his embrace and pulling out a small golden hammer. Both ends of the hammer were inlaid with a black gem, making it look extremely exquisite.
This was the chief elder's token of the Clear Sky Sect. With it, one could mobilize the Elder Hall and even had the right to depose the Sect Master.
Taking the golden hammer, Xu Tianyang caressed the Clear Sky Sect's token and looked at Tang Chen, saying, "This junior can help senior with this, but this junior also wants something from senior."
"What do you want?" Tang Chen also sensed that something was amiss. Looking at Xu Tianyang and Snow Empress, as well as Electrolux's figure in mid-air, his heart sank.
Leaving Xu Tianyang aside, Snow Empress's strength was comparable to his own at his peak, not to mention a remnant God's soul. It was still unknown how much power the other party could exert.
Upon hearing this, Xu Tianyang looked at Tang Chen's right hand and said lightly, "The God's inheritance in senior's hand is what this junior desires. This God originally belonged to you, but senior ultimately fell short. Now your body can no longer hold on. After you die, this God will become ownerless."
"You have quite an ambition. With the Sea God's inheritance, you actually dare to scheme for my Asura God's position," Tang Chen said, looking at Xu Tianyang in surprise. For the first time, he truly looked at this young man; his courage was even greater than he had imagined.
"However, do you think I will allow myself to be slaughtered?"
Tang Chen faced everyone alone, the Clear Sky Hammer raised again. Accompanied by the surging blood-red light on his body, streaks of blood continuously flickered around him.
"Senior should think clearly. Your body won't last much longer. Do you really want to fight us to the death here?" Xu Tianyang looked at Tang Chen calmly, his words implying something.
"Hmph!" Tang Chen snorted coldly and said loudly, "Tang Chen has never been threatened by anyone in his life. To end with such a conclusion is not a wasted life."
Amidst Tang Chen's roar, the Clear Sky Hammer in his hand transformed into a blood-red demonic sword in an instant. This time, the demonic sword that appeared was incredibly condensed and clear, and the aura on his body grew even stronger.
"Haotian Nine Arts!"
Tang Chen wielded the Asura God Sword, slashing towards Xu Tianyang. In his hands, the Haotian Nine Arts performed by the Asura God Sword did not appear strange at all; instead, the Asura God Sword had already merged into his Spirit, doubling its power.
"Emperor's Palm: Great Cold Without Snow!"
As Tang Chen made his move, Snow Empress, who had been vigilant, immediately acted. With a flash of her figure, she appeared in front of Tang Chen and lightly struck out with a palm, without a hint of smoke or fire.
When this palm landed on Tang Chen's body, countless cold energies surged into his body, and the area where the palm struck began to freeze.
"Emperor Sword: Ice Pinnacle Unrivaled!"
At the same time, the moment Tang Chen was frozen, Snow Empress waved her right hand, and an incomparably sharp aura emerged.
An ice-blue longsword sliced through space, striking towards Tang Chen.
"Crack!"
The moment he was frozen, Tang Chen's body surged with red Asura divine power, and the ice around him shattered inch by inch.
And just as Tang Chen broke free from the ice, the ice-blue longsword arrived. The longsword looked unremarkable, yet it exuded an extremely sharp aura, as if it could cut through space itself.
"Don't underestimate this old man!"
Tang Chen let out a low growl, and the Asura God Sword was enveloped in blood-red light. In an instant, countless sword qi erupted and splashed out.
"Roar!"
Just as Tang Chen and Snow Empress were fiercely battling, three dragon roars came from the sky. On the left, a thousand-meter-long Undead Bone Dragon spat out a destructive dragon's breath. On the right, Qian Jun and Jiang Mo, with their Coiling Dragon Rods, activated their Martial Soul True Body and, working together, smashed down on Tang Chen with terrifying pressure.
"Qian Jun, Jiang Mo? You two actually became like this?" Tang Chen looked at the familiar faces appearing in the sky in surprise. After seeing their state, Tang Chen glared angrily at Xu Tianyang and Electrolux.
"Playing with the bodies of the deceased, are you an evil God?"
After reaching this conclusion, Tang Chen's anger grew even more. He swung his sword, unleashing several sword qi to force back Snow Empress, severely injuring the Undead Bone Dragon, Qian Jun, and Jiang Mo.
Wielding the Asura God Sword, he charged towards Xu Tianyang, intending to eliminate this great menace for the world.
"What is righteous? And what is evil?"
At this moment, Xu Tianyang was suspended in mid-air, a golden vertical eye behind him emitting dazzling light, while three black, two red, and one gold terrifying spirit rings slowly revolved around him.
With his Golden-level secondary awakening activated, his aura had multiplied, reaching a level that even Tang Chen found astonishing.
"Soul Touch!"
As the sixth 100,000-year spirit ring belonging to the Evil Eye Tyrant lit up, sixteen hundred-meter-long silver tentacles immediately extended from the void, each tentacle flashing with strong red and blue light.
The Evil Eye Clan's innate Spirit Ability, Soul Touch, would release a powerful mental shockwave to destroy the opponent's spiritual world once its tentacles made contact with any living creature.
It could even devour their souls to nourish itself.
