Douluo's main body is respected

Chapter 276 Farewell to Shura
Yang Xiong couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. The assessment was finally over, and it went even more smoothly than he had imagined.

During his month in this killing city, Yang Xiong did more than just sit idly by. Ever since he used the Vast Ocean Universe Cover to capture the Crimson Nine-Headed Bat King, the Crimson Nine-Headed Bat King had been his own captive.

Under the suppression of the Vast Ocean Universe Cover, the Crimson Nine-Headed Bat King had no power to resist and was basically at Yang Xiong's mercy.

Such strange beasts, though possessing human thoughts and ambitions, are ultimately nothing more than talking wild animals.

Under Yang Xiong's threat of death, the Crimson Nine-Headed Bat King revealed everything, so there was nothing to fear about this wisp of independent Rakshasa divine thought.

As the Rakshasa's divine sense was destroyed, the entire altar seemed to change rapidly. The original dark aura vanished without a trace, replaced by endless blood light.

Yang Xiong felt a moment of disorientation, as if he had left the altar and was in an extremely magnificent hall.

In the center of the main hall stood a huge, blood-red figure—the Asura God.

Yang Xiong quickly bowed and said, "Greetings, Lord Asura God."

A rare expression of appreciation appeared on the face of the Asura God: "Yang Xiong, your assessment was faster and smoother than I expected. I didn't expect that you would have completed two stages of the assessment in just a few months. You should know that Tang Chen was also stuck in your second stage back then."

"Moreover, the direct assessment demonstrated your wisdom and courage. Normal mortals, even if they have the strength to fight against gods, would be overwhelmed by the terrifying pressure. But you managed to contend with gods with a mortal body, which is quite impressive."

Yang Xiong quickly said, "I owe all of this to Lord Asura God's arrangements. Without the Asura Demon Sword, I would not have been able to slay this wisp of Rakshasa God's divine will."

The Asura God said, "All of this is your opportunity. Tang Chen also possessed the Asura Demon Sword back then, but he hesitated when facing the Rakshasa God. His arrogance also harmed him. I hope you will learn from this."

"With your strength, you have basically mastered the Asura Demon Sword, and even comprehended the Asura Judgment on your own."

"What you need now is not to improve your strength, but to make a choice. The Asura Demon Sword will guide you through the next test."

"Remember, your choice will affect the lives and deaths of billions of people, and will influence the entire world order. This is the responsibility you need to bear, and it is also your choice as the future enforcer of the divine realm."

Immediately afterwards, the Asura God pointed slightly at Yang Xiong, and a blood-red light instantly entered Yang Xiong's mind. Yang Xiong vaguely seemed to see a huge god holding a blood-red longsword in his hand.

The deity seemed to be wielding a blood-red, common weapon, each move seemingly capable of destroying the heavens and the earth, yet also appearing to annihilate the enemy without any life force.

After using multiple sword techniques in succession, during the final ninth sword strike.

The god was facing a colossal dragon that seemed capable of destroying the world. This dragon was tens of thousands of feet long and radiated a dazzling light. With just one grab, it could destroy the world.

But the god, wielding a blood-red longsword, with a single strike, caused the world to change color, and the giant dragon was cleaved in two.

Even with Yang Xiong's vast experience, he felt a chill run down his spine, realizing that the god was incredibly powerful and could kill him with a single move.

When Yang Xiong came to his senses again, his whole body was covered in cold sweat. He felt that the god's sword was filled with killing intent, and that he could be shattered into pieces at any moment if he touched it.

Yang Xiong himself had already returned to the altar, with the Asura Demon Sword lying quietly in his hand.

Yang Xiong couldn't help but shake his head. In the end, he returned to the City of Slaughter, made some minor arrangements, and then left.

Based on what I see in my mind, these should be the moves mastered by the Asura God himself. Unfortunately, given my current strength, I can only barely comprehend the first move, and the rest are probably still a long way off.

These moves looked incredibly powerful. Yang Xiong felt that after mastering the Asura Demon Sword, he was naturally very close to these moves and would soon be able to understand their meaning. Perhaps in the future, he could use these moves to further enhance his strength.

The Asura God used a total of seven moves. Although there weren't many moves, each one was earth-shattering, demonstrating the power of a god and the application of Asura power.

……

Since Tang Chen returned to the Haotian Sect with Tang Xiao and Tang Hao, the entire Haotian Sect was overjoyed, especially the five elders, who saw Tang Chen as if they had found their backbone.

However, Tang Chen noticed that the five elders looked extremely grim.

"Second Elder, our Haotian Sect has been passed down for countless years. Tell me, what exactly is the purpose of our Haotian Sect?" The Second Elder addressed Tang Chen as if he were a junior.

"Reporting to the old sect master, our Haotian Sect is the number one sect in the world, and the Haotian Hammer is the number one weapon in the world. Our martial spirit will never allow anyone to bully us."

Tang Chen nodded: "You all know that our Clear Sky Sect is the number one sect in the world. What about what happened to Hao'er back then? Even if we are not strong enough to face the Spirit Hall, we should not be defeated without a fight, nor should we be forced into retirement. As long as we can make the Clear Sky Sect lose face, we will be able to save face."

The Second Elder quickly spoke up: "Sect Master, the situation back then was far too tense. If we hadn't retired, the sect would probably have been destroyed long ago. Besides, all of this was caused by Tang Hao."

Tang Chen instantly flew into a rage: "Second Elder, do you know what you're saying? The Clear Sky Sect's reputation was built by countless generations of talented people. Haven't they ever faced danger? Haven't they ever faced pressure from the Spirit Hall?"

"But in these thousands of years, who has ever backed down in the face of the Spirit Hall? If they always retreat in order to preserve their own strength, what right do they have to call themselves the number one sect in the world?"

"Your withdrawal back then not only cost the Haotian Sect its reputation as the number one sect in the world, but also broke your backbone. Do you think the Haotian Sect can ever recover to its former glory?"

Facing Tang Chen, everyone present felt an immense pressure, even those who were titled Douluo powerhouses felt like they couldn't breathe.

The Second Elder appeared somewhat trembling at this moment: "Old Sect Master, it was Tang Hao who provoked the Spirit Hall back then. It was Tang Hao who killed Qian Xunji, the Pope of the Spirit Hall. Otherwise, we wouldn't be so determined to fight the Spirit Hall to the death."

Tang Chen's face darkened with anger: "You call yourself a veteran in the Soul Master world? The ambitions of the Spirit Hall are well known. They just want to find an excuse to attack our Clear Sky Sect."

"Besides, Hao'er only wanted to protect his wife and children back then. Was that wrong? Should he have allowed his wife and children to be killed by the Spirit Hall? Such a person is not qualified to be a member of my Clear Sky Sect."

……

After Tang Chen's furious scolding, the five elders turned ashen-faced, wishing they could disappear into the ground. They were all titled Douluo, yet Tang Chen had made them sound like quails.

After final confirmation, Tang Hao officially returned to the Clear Sky Sect, and everyone vowed to avenge the blood debt owed to the Spirit Hall.

After finishing everything, Tang Chen, Tang Xiao, and Tang Hao went to a secret room in the Haotian Sect.

At this moment, Tang Chen was no longer as domineering as before; instead, a hint of dejection appeared on his face.

Tang Hao and Tang Xiao immediately asked, "Grandfather, what's wrong?"

Tang Chen shook his head: "My body can't hold on for much longer. I won't be able to protect the Haotian Sect anymore. Hao'er, how long will it be before my great-grandson Tang San returns?"

Tang Hao shook his head: "Grandfather, there is still no news about Xiao San. However, according to what Yang Xiong said, Xiao San should return to the mainland in the next few months."

Tang Chen nodded: "I hope Xiao San will come back soon. I don't have much time left. I need to train Xiao San as soon as possible, otherwise, when our Haotian Sect faces Qian Daoliu and the Angel God's inheritor in the future, it may really be the end of our Haotian Sect."

Tang Xiao quickly said, "Grandfather, please don't overwork yourself. I will handle everything outside. You need to take good care of your health."

Tang Chen said helplessly, "After so many years in the City of Slaughter, I have damaged my foundation. I'm afraid my strength will never be able to recover to its peak. I must make plans for the Haotian Sect as soon as possible."

Tang Xiao seemed to have thought of something: "Grandfather, do you think this Yang Xiong might be able to rival Qian Daoliu in the future? Perhaps he can bring a turning point for our three upper sects."

Tang Chen said seriously, "Xiao'er, this Yang Xiong is not that simple. Although he is only level 90 now, his martial soul and soul rings are extremely powerful. If he is given another ten years, he may be able to contend with Qian Daoliu."

"It's a pity that this person is not one of my Haotian Sect, and ten years is too long. I'm afraid he won't be able to hold out until the end of the war. Judging from the current situation, the Spirit Empire will probably crush the two great empires like dry leaves. Next, we will be plunged into a bitter battle, the largest war in the history of the Spirit Master world."

"Moreover, after fifty years, I should probably go and see my old friend, otherwise people will really think that my Haotian Sect is a toothless tiger."

Tang Xiao was extremely worried when he heard this: "Grandfather, if you go to meet Qian Daoliu in your current state, will Qian Daoliu discover your injuries and take action against our Haotian Sect in advance?"

Tang Chen snorted coldly: "I know a bit about Qian Daoliu. He's been too stubborn his whole life, otherwise he wouldn't have lost to me by a single move back then."

"Qian Daoliu prides himself on being a servant of the Angel God and has spent his life imitating the Angel God. Unfortunately, his imitation is neither good nor bad, and he is too concerned about his image. Otherwise, he wouldn't be at the bottom among us three Limit Douluos."
