In the era of Qian Daoliu, he was invincible from birth, sweeping away all geniuses of his generation. Only Tang Chen and Bo Saixi stood on the same level as him.
Qian Daoliu was noble, while Tang Chen was arrogant.
It's true that geniuses appreciate each other, but they also never admit defeat to one another.
He and Tang Chen fell in love with Bo Saixi at the same time.
The strong should naturally pursue beautiful women.
However, in their repeated contests, Qian Daoliu always lost to Tang Chen by a narrow margin. This seemed to be related to their personalities as well. Qian Daoliu possessed the elegance and reserve of nobility, while Tang Chen was so arrogant he didn't put anyone in his eyes.
When Bo Saixi said she would agree to whoever could achieve godhood.
Qian Daoliu knew he had lost.
This was because he did not receive the inheritance of the Angel God, but instead became the Angel God's Great Enshrinement, with no hope of becoming a god in this life.
Therefore, after their parting, Qian Daoliu married and had children.
Tang Chen, on the other hand, was determined to become a god to prove himself to Bo Saixi.
Who would have thought, Tang Chen had already fallen and become the Slaughter King...
Qian Daoliu gently stroked the Angel Divine Sword in his hand, his thoughts in turmoil.
"Tang Chen, you won back then, but I didn't lose."
"You won because of Bo Saixi's favoritism. I didn't lose because I found my own faith. Besides love, I also have my ideals and pursuits."
"Now that you have fallen to become the Slaughter King, and you disregard the agreement between Slaughter City and Spirit Hall, attempting to wreak havoc on the Continent, I am determined to eliminate you."
The reminiscence in Qian Daoliu's eyes gradually faded.
It was replaced by indifference and killing intent.
He was set on killing Tang Chen.
It would be the same even if Bo Saixi came.
If Bo Saixi were to protect Tang Chen due to their past affection, then that Bo Saixi would not be the Bo Saixi whom Qian Daoliu had once adored.
Golden Crocodile Douluo sensed the sharp killing intent.
"Great Enshrinement?"
Qian Daoliu said:
"Golden Crocodile, I need to go out for a while. You are responsible for guarding the Angel Temple, and make sure to keep a close eye on that woman, Bibi Dong, don't let her act recklessly."
Golden Crocodile nodded.
"I understand."
"Great Enshrinement, where are you going?"
Qian Daoliu said indifferently:
"To catch up with an old friend."
...
At sea.
Waves stretched for miles, and a giant ship with the merchant flag of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect set sail.
It was transporting supplies from the Continent.
Heading to the islands for trade.
The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's merchant guild brought not only the supplies the islands needed.
But also spread news from the Continent.
They were like a bridge connecting the islands and the Continent...
And at the center of the many surrounding islands, there was an island shaped like a whale, occupying the best position like a star surrounding the moon. This was Sea God Island.
Along the long coastline.
A woman dressed in a red high priest robe, with snow-white hair and holding a scepter with demonic patterns, stood alone on a reef, her feet bare, gazing into the distance. Her eyes, as clear as gemstones, seemed devoid of any worldly dust.
As the High Priest of Sea God Island, in this sea area, she was equivalent to a divine being. Bo Saixi naturally learned of the news about Tang Chen spread by the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, but her expression showed no significant emotional fluctuation.
She stood from morning till dusk.
No one dared to disturb the High Priest. Bo Saixi stood alone, accompanied only by solitude.
After a long time.
A heavy sigh finally sounded.
But it quickly dissipated, like waves that rise and fall in the sea, or like the surf crashing against the reef, fleeting and making one doubt if it was a hallucination.
Bo Saixi prayed by the sea.
May the merciful divine beings grant their tolerance and universal love to Tang Chen.
She had dedicated her entire life to the Sea God…
Only to be selfish for a moment, just this once.
However.
As the dutiful High Priestess of Sea God Island, She ultimately never left this sea.
…
Slaughter City.
Tang Chen had already decided to emerge, but Slaughter City was too conspicuous. Before emerging, he first needed to take charge of the Clear Sky Sect.
Therefore, The middle-aged Grandmaster in black with a buzz cut, the dark-skinned youth in blue, and the tall man completely hidden beneath a black cloak walked out of Slaughter City.
Tang San and Yu Xiaogang had no idea that Lin Xiao knew their plans like the back of his hand, and that a large number of people were keeping an eye on them.
So they didn't hide themselves much.
The master and disciple were both brimming with excitement.
"As long as we return to the Clear Sky Sect, have Great-grandfather retake control of Clear Sky, merge the Clear Sky Sect with Slaughter City, and reclaim the Asura Divine Sword!"
"What is there to fear from Spirit Hall?"
"Lin Xiao is nothing more than a grasshopper after autumn!"
Tang San was in high spirits, and even his long-poor appetite improved significantly. He bought two bags of oily meat buns, ate one himself, and offered one to Yu Xiaogang.
"Teacher, have something to eat."
Yu Xiaogang took it, then thought for a moment and solicitously handed it to Tang Chen.
"Old Ancestor Tang Chen, please try this first."
Tang Chen's pupils were blood-red, and he smiled strangely, revealing two sharp fangs.
Under the erosion and transformation by the Blood Red Nine-Headed Bat King's poison, his once robust and strong body had already shriveled like an ancient corpse preserved for years. His vigorous blood and qi had turned into a state of being on the verge of death, like a candle in the wind. His body no longer resembled a human body.
He waved his hand, took out a dark red wine pot from his storage soul tool, and then aimed the pot's opening at his fang-filled mouth, greedily sucking the red liquid within.
A rich smell of blood wafted over.
Yu Xiaogang's face immediately turned pale. His hungry stomach felt somewhat nauseous.
Tang San quickly said:
"Teacher, Great-grandfather doesn't eat regular food. He prefers drinking Bloody Mary."
Yu Xiaogang's face turned even paler.
What Bloody Mary? Wasn't that just human blood?
Tang Chen licked the corner of his mouth, revealing a smile of satisfaction, and at the same time sighed with emotion:
"It's still better outside."
Yu Xiaogang immediately flattered him:
"Yes, Old Ancestor, the sunlight and fresh air outside, why shouldn't they belong to you?"
Tang Chen said:
"I meant the taste outside is good."
"There are walking blood bags everywhere."
"The blood in Slaughter City is limited, even I have to be frugal. And how can the settled blood in the blood pool compare to the gurgling fresh blood?"
"When I establish my main base on the Continent, I should build a few larger blood pools…"
The moment Tang Chen emerged from Slaughter City.
The world became even vaster, but at the same time, the endless desires that had accumulated in his heart were rapidly expanding. His inner greed and perversion spread uncontrollably.
…
Heaven Dou City, Ye Residence.
Lin Xiao and Ye Qingxian were not idle either.
Lin Xiao informed Ye Qingxian of his understanding of Tang Chen and said:
"My Phoenix Bloodline has a restraining effect on the Blood Red Nine-Headed Bat King, and the Great Sun Golden Flame is the nemesis of the Blood Red Nine-Headed Bat King."
"Tang Chen didn't have any obvious weaknesses before."
"But the Slaughter King, every part of him is a weakness."
Degradation doesn't necessarily make one stronger; it can also weaken them, especially for someone like Tang Chen who was parasitized by an insect.
Ye Qingxian pondered this.
"I have some preparations too."
