Clear Sky Sect.
Tang San asked with some curiosity, "Father, I didn't expect your Slaughter God Domain to even involve the Asura God Test?"
He shook his head, "This, I'm not sure either. I only know that it's a reward for passing the Hell Road. I probably have to ask Great-Grandfather about this."
A trace of complexity and nostalgia flashed in Tang Chen's eyes as he chuckled and explained,
"The evaluation on the heavenly screen is indeed correct, but Lord Asura God's method of choosing a successor is quite special; it's a 'raising gu' method."
"I also possessed the Slaughter God Domain back then, but it evolved during the process of my God Test."
"At that time, I should have been the person favored by Lord Asura God, but unfortunately, I failed."
Tang Chen's tone carried a hint of despondency and unwillingness.
"And during the years I was the Slaughter King, I vaguely remember that you and Bibi Dong successively acquired the Slaughter God Domain."
"But it's strange, neither of you seemed to inherit the subsequent Asura God Test."
"Great-Grandfather, why is that?" Tang San keenly grasped the key point.
Tang Chen pondered for a moment, then said, "Hmm... this might also be related to your cultivation level at the time."
"When I first obtained the Slaughter God Domain, I didn't immediately inherit the God Test either."
"It was only after my cultivation reached ninety-ninth rank, and I revisited Slaughter City, that it was accidentally activated."
"Perhaps, the Slaughter God Domain is just an admission ticket, and the real test requires you to reach a certain threshold, for example, rank ninety-five or even ninety-nine, to be eligible to activate it."
And just as Tang Chen's voice fell!
Boom—!
Above the heavenly screen, golden light erupted!
Two impossibly thick golden pillars of light, one on the left and one on the right, pierced through heaven and earth!
One accurately landed on Clear Sky Sect, enveloping Tang Hao!
The other landed towards the distant Spirit City, in the direction of the Supreme Pontiff Palace!
"They're here!"
Tang Chen and Tang San were simultaneously invigorated, staring intently at Tang Hao, who was enveloped in golden light.
"Boom!"
Tang Hao felt a vast and boundless energy surge into his body.
He was already at the peak of rank ninety-six, just one step away from rank ninety-seven.
And with the infusion of this Heavenly Dao energy, that solid bottleneck shattered with a roar!
Crack!
A terrifying pressure, far exceeding before, swept across the entire Clear Sky Sect with Tang Hao as its center!
"Rank ninety-seven! Father has broken through to rank ninety-seven!" Tang San shouted in surprise.
"Good! Hao'er has become stronger!" Tang Chen's eyes also gleamed.
But this was just the beginning!
Below Tang Hao, nine spirit rings automatically appeared!
Their spirit ring configuration had previously changed to four purple, four black, and one red during the earlier enhancement!
Among the nine spirit rings, the black halo representing the eighth spirit ring began to tremble violently!
Buzz—!
Under the shocked gazes of Tang San and Tang Chen, that black eighth spirit ring suddenly exploded!
Tang Chen: ...Why did this eighth spirit ring explode???
But the next moment, it was replaced by a dazzlingly eerie blood-red!
Heavenly Dao: Surprised? You like Ring Explosion, so I'll explode one too.
One hundred thousand years!
The eighth spirit ring, one hundred thousand years!
"Father has two one hundred thousand-year spirit rings!" Tang San's breathing stopped.
For a Spirit Master to possess two one hundred thousand-year spirit rings, what a terrifying configuration!
However, the Heavenly Dao's reward was not yet over!
After enhancing the eighth spirit ring, that golden light suddenly split apart and surged towards Tang Hao's first seven spirit rings!
And with the terrifying five-thousand-year boost!
In an instant, the spirit ring configuration behind Tang Hao underwent a drastic change!
It had now become one purple, six black, and two red!
It's not over yet!
Tang Hao had already condensed a Slaughter God Soul Core from previous rewards, and now, the power of the Heavenly Dao began to help him condense a second one!
The golden light swirled, and a completely different, divine energy rushed directly into his spiritual sea!
"So this is a spirit soul core? It actually has the same marvelous effect as the previous Slaughter God Soul Core condensation!" Tang Hao's heart was greatly shaken.
The power of the Heavenly Dao was gentle yet domineering.
Tang Hao didn't need to take any risks himself; the energy automatically began to compress, rotate, and purify in his spiritual sea!
The process was as smooth and painless as it was for Sea Delusion Douluo!
In just a few breaths.
A gray-red soul core, exuding endless killing intent and seemingly formed from tangible killing aura, powerfully took shape in his Dantian!
[spirit soul core: Asura Killing Intent Soul Core!]
It's done!
Dual Soul Cores!
The moment the Dual Soul Cores formed, Tang Hao's aura surged again!
spirit power in one hand, mental force in the other!
The two perfectly cycled, endlessly!
Because both of Tang Hao's soul cores were related to killing intent, his Slaughter God Domain, under the blessing of the Dual Soul Cores, saw its pressure skyrocket by dozens of times!
However, the golden light still had not dissipated!
There was one last reward!
The golden light slowly condensed in mid-air, finally transforming into a physical object!
An eighty-thousand-year God-Bestowed Spirit Bone!
The ecstasy in Tang Hao's eyes almost overflowed!
An eighty-thousand-year Spirit Bone!
He subconsciously reached out his hand, wanting to catch this Spirit Bone.
However, his hand stopped in mid-air.
The wild joy on Tang Hao's face gradually solidified.
A hint of bitterness and loss crept onto his resolute face.
"Father? What's wrong?" Tang San noticed something was off.
Tang Hao slowly lowered his hand and forced a bitter smile: "Good... what a treasure it is."
"What a pity, after absorbing a God-Bestowed Spirit Bone, one can obtain a skill that perfectly fits oneself, but my own Spirit Bone slots are already full."
As the designated Sect Master successor of Clear Sky Sect, his body was already fully equipped with Spirit Bones.
It was precisely because of this that he couldn't absorb the one hundred thousand-year Spirit Bone Ah Yin left behind, and could only seal it away for Tang San.
At this moment, Tang Hao remembered that there was still a Spirit Bone he had left in Saint Spirit Village; after this ranking list ends, he would take Little San to retrieve it.
Since he couldn't absorb this God-Bestowed Spirit Bone, it naturally could only be given to Tang San.
"Little San! Catch!"
"This eighty-thousand-year God-Bestowed Left Arm Bone, from now on, it's yours! Absorb it right now."
And as for Tang Hao giving this Spirit Bone to Tang San to absorb, Tang Chen naturally had no objections.
After all, Tang San had now been designated as the Sect successor, so he needed a full set of Spirit Bones, and this eighty-thousand-year Spirit Bone was quite acceptable, capable of serving as a legacy Spirit Bone.
Meanwhile, Yu Xiaogang and the others watched enviously as Tang San accepted and began to absorb the Spirit Bone.
They were envious, envious that Tang San had such a father!
And Dai Mubai also had unspeakable bitterness in his heart; why was the difference between people so great?
He was born into royalty; was he supposed to die just because he failed in the competition?
...PS: The previous rewards for Tang Hao have been changed. Tang Hao already had an attribute soul core, so the age of the spirit rings and Spirit Bones has been increased.
