Chapter 345 Test passed, Level 5 Soul Power.
Starry Sky Forest.
In the darkness.
The power of resentment continued to surge like a tide, relentlessly washing over Tang San and Xiao Wu's bodies and minds.
That primal resentment, originating from the fall of a god, was cold, violent, and utterly agonizing.
Every minute and every second is tearing at their souls and bodies.
Time passed quietly in this deathly silent and dark space of divine examination.
...
one day.
Two days.
On the third day, night fell completely!
The darkness was as thick and dense as ink that couldn't be dissolved.
The three-day period is drawing to a close.
On the altar.
Tang San and Xiao Wu were completely enveloped by a thick, black, resentful power.
The skin cracked inch by inch, oozing blood, and was quickly eroded and turned black by the resentment.
The two were already on the verge of spiritual collapse, their consciousness was extremely blurred, and their intelligence was about to be completely extinguished.
Their once clear and bright eyes were now nothing but a deathly black.
Violence, killing, and madness dominated all emotions, leaving no trace of humanity.
...
Not far away.
The God of Resentment stood silently in the darkness, his scarlet eyes fixed on the two figures on the altar.
His eyes gradually revealed an undisguised disappointment and regret.
"well..."
A low, cold sigh echoed slowly in the empty, deathly silent space, carrying endless regret.
"In the end, she couldn't hold on any longer..."
"Just one last step, and yet I'm still destined to become a mindless puppet of resentment."
He originally had high hopes for Tang San and Xiao Wu.
These two individuals harbored immense hatred, possessed willpower far exceeding that of ordinary people, and had top-tier talents among their generation.
He had thought that the two of them could grit their teeth and endure for three whole days to successfully awaken their bodies of resentment.
To become the perfect successor to him in quickly gathering resentment and accelerating his resurrection.
But now it seems that their souls and wills ultimately could not withstand the rampant erosion of the divine resentment.
Even if I become a puppet, I can still be used by him!
It can also create carnage and spread resentment on the continent, helping him slowly accumulate power.
But that speed was just too slow.
The puppet has no independent consciousness; it does not understand cultivation, plunder, or strategy.
They only know how to kill based on their instincts!
It is far less efficient than a vengeful inheritor who possesses complete intelligence and can grow autonomously.
"What a pity... such exceptional talent, yet they could only end up as two obedient walking corpses."
The god of resentment shook his head slightly, no longer hesitating.
Prepare to strike, completely sever the last trace of their intelligence, and refine them into hateful puppets who only know how to obey and kill.
"Buzz buzz buzz!"
He slowly raised his palm!
Within his palm, pitch-black resentment surged and coalesced wildly, emanating a terrifying aura that made the very space tremble.
"Fine, a puppet it is, better than nothing."
Just as his palm was about to fall and completely obliterate their minds!
"boom!"
A faint, yet incredibly clear and warm chirp.
Suddenly, a loud boom resounded from Tang San's body!
A tiny, extremely faint, yet infinitely vibrant blue-gold light slowly emerged from his body and gently pulsed.
Although the light was small, it was like the first ray of dawn in the boundless darkness, carrying a vast vitality that was inexhaustible and transcended decay!
"Um?"
The God of Resentment abruptly stopped, his hand hovering in mid-air abruptly halting.
For the first time, his eyes revealed extreme astonishment and surprise.
The blue-gold light, once it appeared, spread rapidly at an incredible speed.
The power of life!
Incomparably pure and noble, the life force originating from the Grass Clan Emperor!
Like a gentle spring breeze and nourishing rain, it instantly swept over Tang San's limbs and bones, rushing into his shattering sea of consciousness.
Gently and steadfastly protecting his last vestige of consciousness!
The Qingming Festival, which was about to be extinguished, was suddenly rekindled under the nourishment and protection of this life force!
"This is..."
The God of Resentment's pupils contracted sharply, and he could no longer maintain his indifferent expression, letting out a soft murmur.
"The life force of the Blue Silver Emperor?"
"It's actually... the Blue Silver Emperor bloodline!"
He stared intently at Tang San, his eyes filled with realization and shock.
"I misjudged him... This child is no ordinary human soul master."
"He is the descendant of a human soul master and a 100,000-year-old Blue Silver Emperor, the undisputed emperor of the Blue Silver Grass lineage, born with a life force!"
"Even if the soul is on the verge of shattering or annihilation, as long as the foundation of life remains, the Blue Silver Emperor bloodline will automatically protect its master and hold fast to his last shred of consciousness!"
At that moment, the God of Resentment understood completely.
Tang San was able to keep his composure at the last moment not because of willpower, resentment, or persistence.
Instead, it is protected by the instinct of the Blue Silver Emperor bloodline!
Just then, that warm, gentle, and vibrant blue-gold aura quietly spread to Xiao Wu, who was standing to the side.
Xiao Wu and Tang San were already connected in spirit and mind.
At this moment, the surge of life force caused the clarity that was about to be completely swallowed to return slightly.
A spark of liveliness and brilliance returned to her dark eyes.
"Third Brother..."
Xiao Wu murmured weakly, her voice faint yet powerful as a pillar of strength.
This call solidified Tang San's last line of defense.
The crumbling consciousness was instantly and firmly preserved!
The god of resentment watched this sudden and unexpected turn of events.
Instead of getting angry, he slowly withdrew his hand.
An undisguised look of surprise and ecstasy appeared on his face.
Accident!
This is an absolutely huge accident!
But for him, it was the best and most perfect result!
He was merely a remnant soul and could not interfere with the changes and processes within the divine trial.
The two broke the deadlock on their own, steadied themselves at the last moment, and survived the most dangerous time.
This means...
They successfully passed the second stage!
The path he most desired, the path most conducive to his resurrection, has been achieved!
"Well... well done, Blue Silver Emperor!"
The God of Resentment chuckled softly, his voice filled with barely suppressed excitement.
"Heaven is helping me!"
Right now!
Three days to go, and we've got it all covered!
The entire altar of the burial of the gods suddenly shook, emitting a deafening roar.
Countless jet-black, pure resentment surged into Tang San and Xiao Wu's bodies like a tsunami!
This is not erosion, nor is it torture!
It's about inheritance!
It's a gift!
It is the ultimate reward for passing the assessment!
The two felt as if their bodies were about to be burst by an immense force, and their soul power surged wildly like a volcano, rising higher and higher!
Level 1!
Level 3!
...
Level 5!
In a short period of time, their soul power levels each increased by five levels!
Tang San and Xiao Wu opened their eyes at the same time, looked at each other, and saw extreme shock and disbelief in each other's eyes.
"This power... is too strong!"
"Just one assessment and he advanced five levels?"
They could clearly feel the violent and cold resentment within them, which, while making them slightly uncomfortable, was undeniably making them stronger!
