"Why are you chasing after me?" The Blood God Son's avatar grinned cheekily at the Silver Dragon King, who was blocked by Zhou Weiqing. "Could it be that you've fallen for me?"
The Silver Dragon King, however, had no intention of wasting words with him. The creature before her, with its nine heads, eight legs, and countless arms, was not to be underestimated. His cultivation had already approached the level of a God King.
She was well aware that this being had only recently become a god. He hadn't absorbed the divine energy of the God Realm to perfect his form but had instead relied on another type of energy—one derived from resentment, hatred, and malice. In essence, it was power drawn from negative emotions, a force stemming from the same source as the power of faith.
Faith was a force comparable to divine energy, perhaps even more profound and enigmatic.
However, the Silver Dragon King held little desire for such power. Being derived from the minds of sentient beings, it was dangerously prone to corrupting one's will. Such power could easily twist the mind, just as it had clearly warped the personalities of the two beings before her.
To her, these two were entities completely dominated by resentment and hatred, their minds clouded and their souls corrupted.
Mad.
Bizarre.
"Gentlemen, gods must not engage in battle," a voice interjected. Tang Chen arrived, intending to mediate. "Divine power is too overwhelming for humanity. Even a trace of it leaking out could turn a region into either a wasteland or a treasure trove. The impact on the mortal world is simply too great."
"Then, as a subordinate of the Asura God, you should eliminate him," the Silver Dragon King retorted, her gaze shifting to Tang Chen. "He hails from another plane and has corrupted the creatures of our world. According to the rules of the God Realm, his divine body must be destroyed, and his divine soul eradicated." Her tone carried a hint of disdain, though she moderated it slightly after realizing Tang Chen was merely a Slaughter God and not the Asura God himself.
Tang Chen had indeed noticed the appearance of abyssal creatures. However, he hadn't expected Zhou Weiqing and the enigmatic figure by his side to hail from another plane.
Given the situation, he had no choice but to side with the Silver Dragon King.
"Care to explain yourselves?" Tang Chen unleashed his blood-red Haotian Hammer, a wave of murderous energy emanating from it as it enveloped the two.
"Heh!"
Zhou Weiqing sneered, his thousand arms trembling as a gray mist surged forth, shattering Tang Chen's divine killing domain in an instant.
"Merely a minor god of the mortal world!"
The Blood God Son cackled. "Your talent isn't bad, but you've only recently become a god. Your power barely reaches the hundredth level, and your divine body is incomplete. Your divine energy is weak. How could you compare to Zhou Weiqing, who has consumed the souls and faith of an entire planet's living beings?"
Tang Chen's divine soul sensed the overwhelming resentment within Zhou Weiqing's body, nearly causing his spirit to falter.
The massacre of an entire planet's lifeforms!
This was the true God of Slaughter!
Before Tang Chen could transform his Haotian Hammer into the Asura Sword, Zhou Weiqing acted. Invisible gray energy enveloped both Tang Chen and the Silver Dragon King. Thousands of vengeful spirits emerged from the barrier, forming a vast ocean of the dead that howled toward them.
Some wept, others raged…
Some mourned, others despaired…
These negative emotions, combined with the wails of billions of souls, created a sonic ocean that shook Tang Chen's divine body and soul. It was as if countless spirits were lamenting the suffering of the mortal world, whispering that the only solution to their agony was to devour his divine soul.
Clang!
A blood-red sword light slashed through, carving an opening. Yet before Tang Chen could escape, the vengeful spirits reconnected, forming a claw that grabbed him and hurled him back into the domain.
Tang Chen was utterly powerless!
Though he hadn't inherited the Asura God's position, Tang Chen had surpassed the hundredth level. His martial spirit, the Haotian Hammer, had been refined into the Asura Sword during the eighth trial, giving him strength far beyond that of ordinary hundredth-level gods.
The might of the Asura Sword was extraordinary, capable of slaying any foe, destroying flesh, and annihilating souls. However, it could not erase the power of negative emotions—resentment, hatred, grief, sorrow, despair—that resided deep within the heart.
Thus, relying solely on the Asura Sword, Tang Chen was unable to break through this sea of vengeful souls.
Even more so, Zhou Weiqing was a being near the level of a God King, and this domain was the culmination of his absorption of countless souls and the suffering of the mortal world.
He had named it:
Tranquil Repose!
The world is rife with betrayal, and only by experiencing it fully can one achieve inner peace and serenity, allowing them to understand him. Then—
They would merge into this Tranquil Repose Domain, becoming one of its countless members.
On the other side, Gu Yuena remained composed. Her calm far exceeded Tang Chen's struggle. Stabilizing her divine spirit, she released her godly power, causing an outburst of elemental energy to form an ocean around her. This sea of elements, imbued with the power of death—a trait she had gained from her interactions with Tang San—made the vengeful spirits of the Tranquil Repose Domain hesitate to approach.
After all, to these restless souls, death felt like returning home, a journey with no return.
"This Gu Yuena has been strengthened to an absurd degree. Tang San hasn't even ascended to godhood yet... Err." The Blood God Son's avatar watched Zhou Weiqing's battle against Gu Yuena and Tang Chen with keen interest. Suddenly, a spear pierced through his chest, sealing his power in an instant.
"It's been a while, Xu Huang," Tang San remarked as he scrutinized Xu Huang, now sporting white hair and a drastically changed appearance. Despite this, Tang San recognized him. With a casual flick of his Blue Silver Emperor Spear, he sent Xu Huang's body flying several kilometers away. "This must be just an avatar, right? Your body structure is… quite peculiar."
"A sneak attack, really?!" The Blood God Son's avatar, regaining his freedom, began to heal his pierced heart as if he were immortal. "You have no sense of honor!"
"Your personality seems to have changed quite a bit," Tang San remarked, settling into a throne that materialized beneath him. The throne gleamed like white jade, emanating radiant nine-colored light. The light gradually formed concentric halos, illuminating the space with divine splendor.
"You bastard! That accursed Godseal Throne!" The Blood God Son's avatar howled in fury, clutching his face. His once-handsome visage twisted and tore apart, only to instantly heal, leaving him staring at Tang San with a mixture of rage and disbelief. He also glared at the Eternal and Creation Godseal Throne beneath Tang San. "You traitors! How dare you NTR me! And you, Eternal and Creation Godseal Throne—you dare betray me?! I won't forgive you!"
"Care to explain what's going on with your body?" Tang San ignored the ranting and instead observed him with curiosity. "It seems to contain the genes of all living beings, brimming with resentment and hatred, yet somehow under control… Hmm, not perfectly controlled, though, as your twisted personality clearly shows."
"Die!"
The Blood God Son didn't answer. His body turned blood-red, transforming into an overwhelming ocean of blood that surged toward Tang San, seeking to engulf and refine him.
However—
Tang San simply hurled the Blue Silver Emperor Spear in his hand. The divine power of creation imbued within it exploded, and a beam of divine light pierced the heavens. In an instant, the blood ocean disintegrated, dissipating into nothingness...
