After settling matters within the sect, Tang Chen did not dare to delay for a moment. He immediately took Tang Hao and Tang San out of Heaven Dou City, heading westward.
The three of them flew directly through the sky, ensuring the fastest possible speed.
Tang Hao and Tang San noticed that Tang Chen seemed somewhat anxious after leaving Heaven Dou City, which puzzled both of them.
"Grandfather, where are we going?" Tang Hao asked.
Tang Chen patted Tang San's shoulder and said, "It was a pity that Xiao San couldn't enter Slaughter City for training last time. But it's not too late now. Xiao San, you're quite familiar with that Dugu Feng, so you must know something about the situation inside Slaughter City, right?"
Tang San quickly nodded. "Reporting to Great-Grandfather, Dugu Feng once said that inside Slaughter City, there is a Slaughter Arena where ten people fight each other in each round, and only one can survive. Winning a hundred rounds grants the Slaughter God Domain!"
Tang Chen nodded approvingly. "Xiao San, your physical strength and hammer techniques have already reached the peak of a Soul Master. Passing through Slaughter City shouldn't be difficult. I hope you can emerge from it within two years!"
"Yes, Great-Grandfather!" Tang San's heart burned with excitement. He had no doubts about his great-grandfather's arrangements.
Slaughter City was related to the inheritance of Godhood. Great-Grandfather's arrangements must have a purpose.
Sure enough, Tang Chen continued, "The Slaughter God Domain can evolve. Xiao San, you must focus on comprehending the Killing Intent within Slaughter City!"
He had great confidence in Tang San's talent, especially his Spiritual Power, which was far stronger than Tang Hao's.
A sudden thought crossed Tang Chen's mind: it would be amusing if Tang San evolved the Asura Domain faster than his father, Tang Hao.
"Yes, Great-Grandfather, I will focus on comprehending it!"
Tang Hao, standing nearby, took this opportunity to share some of his experiences with Tang San.
Tang Chen listened quietly without interrupting.
The closer they got to Slaughter City, the more desolate the land became. The weather turned cold, and as the chilly wind blew, Tang Chen felt a surge of warmth in his heart.
How many years had it been since he last experienced familial affection?
He had thought that after living for over a century, he would face death calmly. But now, he felt reluctant to leave.
Tang Chen then thought of Poseidon, waiting for him on Poseidon Island, and his heart burned with passion. As his life approached its final moments, he urgently wanted to see Poseidon.
Several hours passed in the blink of an eye. The three of them arrived at Slaughter City. Tang San, having learned the method to enter Slaughter City along the way, descended alone.
Tang Chen and Tang Hao set off again, flying swiftly toward the Western Sea.
"Hao'er, do you know why I'm in such a hurry for Xiao San to obtain the Slaughter God Domain?" Tang Chen asked coldly.
The two were flying silently when Tang Chen suddenly posed the question.
Tang Hao's mind raced. "Please enlighten me, Grandfather!"
Tang Chen flew faster and faster as he spoke. "I'm worried that your evolution from the Slaughter God Domain to the Asura Domain is too slow. By the time Bibi Dong or that Evil Soul Master achieves Godhood, you may not be able to inherit my Divine Power. That's why I can only let Xiao San obtain the Slaughter God Domain as a backup!"
Upon hearing this, Tang Hao felt an ominous premonition. Ever since leaving Heaven Dou City, he had sensed his grandfather's urgency. Now, he was talking about needing him to inherit Divine Power.
This...
"Grandfather, I don't understand what you mean!" Tang Chen said with a trembling voice.
Tang Chen spoke calmly, "My God Test has already failed, and I cannot hold on for much longer!"
"Impossible, Grandfather! Didn't you tell Elder Brother and Ning Zongzhu that you were about to become a God?" Tang Hao refused to believe it, but the tears streaming from his eyes showed he had no choice but to accept it.
"That was a lie I told them. Bibi Dong was severely injured by me, which can delay her ascension to Godhood. The hidden Evil Soul Master will also be intimidated by my actions this time.
But the time I can buy is very limited. They will eventually learn the truth of my condition!" Tang Chen sighed helplessly.
He had already done his utmost to buy time for the Clear Sky Sect.
However, the key ultimately lay with Tang Hao before him—whether he could evolve the Slaughter God Domain into the Asura Domain as quickly as possible.
The Asura Domain is the beginning of gaining the Asura God's recognition. Without the Asura Domain, one is simply unqualified to inherit the Asura Divine Power.
Tang Hao was completely stunned, his heart plummeting from heaven back into hell.
He had thought that with his grandfather's return, the Clear Sky Sect would reclaim its peak. It turned out all of it was false.
Tang Chen continued, "I have been parasitized by a Spirit Beast for decades. My body is already broken and cannot withstand the immense energy of a Demigod Body.
Dugu Feng thought he was saving me, but in truth, he also killed me.
Still, I do not blame him. Given some time, his Slaughter God Domain might even evolve into the Asura Domain faster than yours. Unfortunately, my Divine Power cannot be passed on to him!"
Tang Hao lost his composure, completely unaware of what Tang Chen was saying. All he knew was that the sky of the Clear Sky Sect was about to collapse once again.
This made Tang Chen frown. "Hao'er, have you forgotten what I told you?
In my heart, you are a prodigy, a genius of the Clear Sky Sect. Do not rely on anyone else.
The Godhood must be earned by yourself!
Otherwise, the Clear Sky Sect will be buried with me!"
Tang Chen's words pierced Tang Hao's mind.
Tang Hao shuddered and instantly regained clarity. "Grandfather, I lost my composure. The Clear Sky Sect will never fall. No matter what difficulties we face, I will stand with Elder Brother to uphold the Clear Sky Sect!"
Only then did Tang Chen nod in approval and arrange, "My time is running out. When we reach Poseidon Island, I will infuse the Asura God Inheritance power I obtained into the Asura Demon Sword. This is the Asura Divine Power I gained by passing most of the Asura God Trial.
If you can inherit this power, you can skip the trial process and directly fuse with the Asura Demon Sword, preparing to inherit the Godhood!
But the prerequisite for inheritance is the evolution of the Slaughter God Domain into the Asura Domain. Hao'er, you are still lacking in this regard.
From now on, the fate of the Clear Sky Sect rests in your hands.
If you can fuse the Asura Demon Sword into your body and inherit the Asura God Position before Bibi Dong and that Evil Soul Master become Gods, you will be the only God on the continent.
But if they ascend to Godhood first, the Clear Sky Sect—"
Tang Chen did not continue, but the implication was clear: the Clear Sky Sect would undoubtedly meet a terrible end.
Tang Hao nodded firmly, his fighting spirit rekindled.
Yes, I am a prodigy, a genius. Now that my injuries are fully healed, I can surely evolve the Slaughter God Domain quickly.
I must not disappoint Grandfather again.
At this moment, boundless regret surged within Tang Hao. If he hadn't wasted that period in despair, his Slaughter God Domain would have already evolved by now.
He could directly inherit his grandfather's legacy power, so why worry about Evil Soul Masters or Bibi Dong.
Fortunately, his grandfather had already paved the way by severely injuring Bibi Dong.
I will definitely become a God, I must become the Asura God, then destroy Spirit Hall and kill all Evil Soul Masters.
Tang Hao roared inwardly, closely following behind Tang Chen.
