Sea God Island.
Recently, it had not been peaceful. Miracles were repeatedly occurring, and there was an oppressive feeling, as if a storm was coming.
The residents of the island had all sensed something unusual.
For example, the High Priest of Sea God Island, Lord Sea God Douluo Bo Saixi, had actually issued a fishing ban, forbidding the residents of Sea God Island from going out to sea.
For example, a powerful being, not weaker than the High Priest, had actually come to Sea God Island.
For example, the Seven Sacred Pillars were all on high alert, frequently patrolling.
For example, one day, the "Sea God" himself had appeared in a projection, releasing a terrifying aura that triggered a monstrous tsunami, killing dozens of Sea God Island residents.
All of these events indicated that Sea God Island seemed to be preparing for some major battle.
But...
They could not imagine what existence could make the "Sea God" himself so furious.
Is there really an existence in this world that even a God cannot handle?
They couldn't believe it, but everything happening before them seemed to point to this possibility.
Finally, someone knelt before the Sacred Pillars, wanting to know the answer.
There was no response.
In fact, many residents were punished for their actions.
But the truth couldn't be hidden forever, and the more this happened, the more people became convinced that something major was about to take place.
More and more people followed suit.
One by one, they were dealt with, but the show of force no longer worked.
At the same time, the principle of "the law does not punish the masses" was well understood.
Thus, the High Priest of Sea God Island, Lord Sea God Douluo Bo Saixi, finally responded directly.
She said: "There are thieves coveting the Poseidon power. As the Poseidon is a God, it is inappropriate for him to intervene directly, so this matter has been entrusted to us, the Poseidon followers, to handle."
"But even if the sky falls, there will be a tall one to hold it up, so Sea God Island cannot fall!"
"Even if it does, Bo Saixi and the Seven Sacred Pillars will be there to support. The people need not worry."
"The divine might of the Sea God cannot be disrespected, and those who do will be punished, no matter how far they are!"
With that, the turmoil temporarily settled down.
Although the people were worried, they still had absolute trust in the "Poseidon."
After all, he was a God!
...
Sea God Hall.
"Is she really that powerful?" Bo Saixi stood at the railing, gazing at the still peaceful Sea God Island.
"I can feel it. Facing the power I left behind, there wasn't even the slightest fluctuation in her eyes," Tang Chen stood not far from her.
The two of them stood a distance apart, and if they weren't talking, one would think they were strangers who happened to cross paths.
But...
This was the Sea God Hall, the place where the Sea God's inheritance resided.
To have an outsider come here and not be rejected was truly an amazing matter.
After a pause, Tang Chen looked at the restless "Asura God Sword" in his hand and said, "Also, I vaguely feel like I've seen her before!"
"Oh?" Bo Saixi's eyes flickered with intrigue.
Over the past few days, she had listened to Tang Chen recount his past and knew that after being corrupted, his true self couldn't hold back, and he had always been in the Slaughter City.
But now, Tang Chen was saying he had felt like he had met that woman.
That would mean she had been to the Slaughter City!
Moreover, being able to meet Tang Chen, who had transformed into the Slaughter King, meant that she had gone through the Hell Road and had also obtained the Killing God domain.
In other words, she too had the qualification to undergo the "Asura God Trials."
Wait...
Why was Tang Chen staring at the restless "Asura God Sword" when he said this?
Could it be...
That she had already started the "Asura God Trials," and had even begun to influence Tang Chen, who had passed the "Asura Eight Trials" and had the "Asura God Sword's" recognition?
But...
According to previous information, that woman should have inherited the power of another God!
How could she possibly be connected to the "Asura God"?
Bo Saixi couldn't understand.
Moreover, she had never heard of a situation where a God's inheritance had two ultimate trials at the same time!
Tang Chen had gained the qualification for the "Asura Nine Trials," and logically speaking, the highest trial that could appear before him, if he failed or died, would only be the "Asura Eight Trials."
Hmm?
Could it be...
"You..." Bo Saixi's pupils shrank.
When Tang Chen arrived, she had already sensed that he had been corrupted for too long. Though he had regained his true self, there wasn't much time left.
But... so soon?
"Heh heh." Tang Chen, seeing the look in Bo Saixi's eyes, knew she had guessed it.
He calmly said, "That's right, my time is running out."
After a pause, he added, "However, to be able to see you once more before I die, and to stay here with you for so long, I'm already content."
"The will of the gods is something I cannot interfere with, but according to the rules, it is only reasonable for me to take action against her."
"Before I die, I will try my best to kill her."
"This is the last thing I can do for you."
Tang Chen looked at Bo Saixi with deep affection, calmly stating his impending death and his plan.
"You, why must you do this..." Bo Saixi's gaze was complicated. It had been a long time since she had been so moved.
Even when she saw Tang Chen again, her heart wasn't as stirred as it was now.
"This is my calamity, one that belongs to Sea God Island and to me. You don't need to be involved," Bo Saixi spoke, trying to dissuade him. "Leave quickly, avoid this conflict, and maybe you can live a little longer."
"Heh heh, it's useless." Tang Chen shook his head and said calmly, "If she chooses Asura, then the Asura God Sword is something she must obtain."
As he spoke, his gaze fell on the Sea God Hall, "Just like the Sea God Trident, they hold the same significance."
At this moment, Tang Chen seemed to have had an epiphany. Perhaps his current will was the reason why he was allowed to approach the Sea God Hall, and even stay here without the "Poseidon" permission.
No... simply being able to enter, approach, and stay already implied permission.
The "Poseidon" needed him to die!
The "Poseidon" needed him to help Bo Saixi kill that woman!
"Perhaps, she is even stronger than I imagined!" Tang Chen whispered.
For a God to be so wary of someone, to even calculate him into the picture, said a lot.
Having realized this, he looked at Bo Saixi and then showed a bitter smile. "Perhaps, I can only stir up a few waves for you. Trying to overturn her will be very difficult..."
"It's fine, it's fine..." Bo Saixi whispered. She didn't understand why Tang Chen's will had suddenly changed so much, but for her, she hoped Tang Chen could live, and perhaps leave the current whirlpool as soon as possible.
Boom!
At that moment, a terrifying aura suddenly emanated from the depths of the ocean, turning the sky above them blood red.
Both Tang Chen and Bo Saixi were startled.
The latter exclaimed, "It's the Deep Sea Demon Whale King! Someone is hunting it!"
