Chapter 76: Qian Daoliu, Tang Chen!
[Your purpose in killing was to strengthen yourself, and your sanity was never affected. This made the Asura God increasingly satisfied.]
[As for the believers within the City of Slaughter, he did not care about them at all. That was because those believers had already been corrupted by the Rakshasa God and could no longer be considered his followers.]
[One who knows only slaughter can never become the Asura God. A god ruled by the desire for slaughter is called a Rakshasa.]
[Only purposeful killing can give rise to an Asura God—even if that purpose is merely to strengthen your own foundation!]
[The prerequisite to becoming the Asura God is always to restrain one's own desire for slaughter. Killing without purpose is forbidden…]
[This is precisely why the Asura God has grown more and more satisfied with you.]
[As for what makes you special—if he doesn't say it, and the Sea God doesn't say it, then who would ever know?]
[In the Asura God's view, when one is weak, one should use every means available to increase one's strength. That is the true path.]
[Without strength, what right do you have to speak of morality?]
[This is how gods think!]
[The Sea God Poseidon was bruised and swollen, his battered face filled with rage. He never should have let you run around so freely!]
[With your talent, even without the Heart of the Sea God, the probability of passing the Sea God's Nine Trials would still be extremely high. If worse came to worst, he could even bend the rules a little…]
[Unfortunately, it was already too late. You had already obtained the Asura God's Nine Trials…]
[What's more, the Asura God had no sense of martial ethics whatsoever—secretly manipulating things behind the scenes and directly letting you complete the first seven trials, even though the Asura God's trials were supposedly designed that way…]
[Poseidon had thought he was shameless enough, but who would have imagined that the Asura God, with thick brows, big eyes, would actually break the law while enforcing it!!]
Wang Li's eyelid twitched. These two "brothers"... he really didn't know what to say about them.
When they weren't enemies, they were genuinely close—
Absolutely nothing to complain about!
[You swept through the City of Slaughter and found no survivors who slipped through the net…]
[Your strength increased somewhat, and you were only a step away from breaking through to the quasi-god realm. Even so, even a level-one-hundred being without a divine position would not be your opponent.]
[You… are now thirteen years old.]
[You left the City of Slaughter and began traveling across the Douluo Continent. Your strength grew ever more formidable.]
[One day, you encountered Tang Chen and Qian Daoliu, who were also traveling.]
[The two of them looked at you with puzzled expressions. You appeared to be a young man, but your face and bearing could not deceive them—your age was definitely no more than eighteen.]
[Yet you had actually appeared deep within the Death Forest!]
[Qian Daoliu and Tang Chen were completely dumbfounded. Seeing you strolling about so leisurely, the corners of their eyes couldn't help but twitch.]
[They believed that you must have been extraordinarily lucky to make it this far without encountering a single soul beast.]
["Little fellow, to be able to come here—your luck isn't bad."]
["I'll take you out of here, lest you lose your life."]
[After coming back to his senses, Qian Daoliu spoke to you.]
[Tang Chen nodded, his gaze settling on you.]
[The two of them were rank ninety-nine Ultimate Douluo. Naturally, all kinds of dangerous lands posed no obstacle to them and could not stop them.]
[But for a little brat like you, reaching this point purely by luck was no small feat.]
[You froze for a moment, then looked at these two "trash kun"... that's right—in your eyes, these two Ultimate Douluo were nothing more than trash!]
[They were both at rank ninety-nine, yet they had only just entered the pseudo–demigod realm, not even touching the threshold of the true demigod realm.]
[You were different. You were a peak-level demigod, possessing portions of both Asura God power and Sea God power. Even a rank-one-hundred god without a divine position would not be your opponent…]
[You glanced at Qian Daoliu. As expected of the Angel's successor—he truly was kind-hearted.]
[You took a single step forward, and a phantom image of the Sea God appeared behind you.]
[Red, red, red, red, red, red, red, red, red—nine soul rings rapidly rose from beneath your feet.]
[The pressure belonging to a demigod erupted at that very moment!]
[All the soul beasts within the entire Death Forest trembled in fear, collapsing to the ground.]
[Qian Daoliu and Tang Chen were utterly stunned, staring at you in disbelief.]
["Since we have met, it must be fate. Today, I would like to spar with the two of you."]
["Wang Li. Martial Soul: Sea God. Title: Sea God. I have already reached the demigod level—there is no need for either of you to feel ashamed about joining forces!"]
[Since the age of six, you had never experienced a truly evenly matched battle. Now that you had encountered Qian Daoliu and Tang Chen, you naturally had no intention of letting this opportunity pass!]
[Tang Chen and Qian Daoliu exchanged a glance. The two were both enemies and allies, deeply familiar with one another.]
[They had never imagined that this little brat would actually be a demigod-level powerhouse!]
[After all, the two of them had yet to even touch the threshold of demigodhood.]
[Fight!!]
[Who were they? Two towering figures whose names shook the world! Absolute titans of the soul master world!]
[How could they retreat simply because their opponent's realm was higher?]
[They, too, were eager to know—just what kind of level a demigod truly was!]
[But after today, they would never again encounter a demigod as terrifying as you…]
[When Qian Daoliu later borrowed the power of the Angel God, and when Tang Chen finally broke through to the demigod realm, the two of them began to doubt themselves—was such weak strength really considered demigod-level?]
[Suddenly, Qian Daoliu seemed to think of something, his brows knitting tightly.]
["You're from Devil Island?"]
[Some time ago, Spirit Hall had launched an expedition, intending to explore the world beyond the seas.]
[When they passed by Seagod Island, they attempted to land. At the time, the titled Douluo leading the team believed that the island's natives were nothing special… and planned to occupy Seagod Island as a maritime outpost for Spirit Hall.]
[The result was obvious.]
[Unless Spirit Hall mobilized a large number of Grand Worships and had Qian Daoliu personally take action, there was no guarantee they could even take Seagod Island!]
[If Spirit Hall were destroyed, it was uncertain whether the Angel God would intervene—but if Seagod Island were destroyed, Poseidon would definitely take action!]
[What's more, out at sea, Qian Daoliu truly was no match for Bo Saixi.]
[The Spirit Hall expedition force was almost completely wiped out, including the titled Douluo.]
[Those who managed to return to Spirit Hall referred to Seagod Island as Devil Island, and the expedition was temporarily shelved.]
Wang Li: "???"
If Seagod Island hadn't existed, was it possible that Spirit Hall's expedition force might have discovered the Sun Moon Continent in advance?
That was entirely possible!
[You had some impression of this matter as well. Before you even took action, Bo Saixi alone had annihilated the Spirit Hall expedition force.]
[You corrected Qian Daoliu's statement—it wasn't Devil Island, but Seagod Island.]
[Poseidon had treated you well, and the residents of Seagod Island had been exceptionally kind to you. How could you allow anyone to slander Seagod Island?]
[One cannot—at the very least, one should not!]
[Upon learning that you truly came from that place, Qian Daoliu's expression grew solemn, and he stopped asking further questions.]
[He had just told Tang Chen about Devil Island, and the two of them had been planning to go there to temper themselves. Who would have thought they'd encounter you first?]
[Qian Daoliu was the first to make a move. After hesitating slightly, Tang Chen also struck.]
