Douluo Continent: The Ten Kings of Hell, I am the Emperor of the Underworld

"It hurts, it hurts so much, it hurts so much!"

"Who am I? Am I Tang San? Am I Rakshasa God? No, I am Tang Chen."

Stimulated by the killing intent, Tang Chen's mental sea was impacted, and his memories became disordered once again.

"Get out of here, what's all the noise about?"

The Asura God roared angrily at Tang Chen.

Tang Chen covered his head, not daring to say anything, and ran away into the distance.

He would gladly obey the Asura God's order to get lost, but he felt no sense of security in front of Ning Qiuyang, as if he could be engulfed in flames at any moment.

No, not like.

Tang Chen, who was fleeing at top speed, saw a bewitching red before his eyes; he had been ignited by the Red Lotus Karmic Fire.

Ning Qiuyang unleashed a Red Lotus Karmic Flame upon him, causing Tang San's soul, fused with the Rakshasa God, to let out a mournful cry.

"No, no, why is it this kind of flame again? The power of the God of Kindness, yes, I still have the power of the God of Kindness."

Faced with profound fear, Tang Chen became unusually clear-headed, remembering that he possessed the divine power of the God of Kindness.

He invoked this divine power, covering himself to block the burning of the Red Lotus Karmic Fire.

The Red Lotus Karmic Fire uses sin as fuel; as long as sin is eradicated, the flames will not be extinguished.

The power of the God of Kindness is extremely benevolent and cannot be destroyed by the Red Lotus Karmic Fire.

The Red Lotus Karmic Fire could clearly sense Tang Chen's sins, but it could not directly ignite Tang Chen. Instead, it was blocked by the divine power of the God of Kindness. It could not be extinguished, but it could not break through the divine power barrier either.

"Hahaha, Ning Qiuyang can't hurt me. His strange flames have no effect on me."

Tang Chen couldn't help but burst into unrestrained laughter, as if he wanted to laugh out all the fear in his heart.

After laughing for a while, he finally remembered that he was still in the underworld, which was not a safe place.

In addition, the Red Lotus Karmic Fire was still burning outside his body, which bothered him greatly, and he wanted to get rid of the flame completely.

After wandering aimlessly for a while, a stone bridge appeared in front of him.

It was his first time in the underworld, and he was completely bewildered. He didn't know where he was or how to leave the underworld.

Without realizing it, he walked toward the stone bridge.

The closer he got to the stone bridge, the faster he quickened his pace. A faint fragrance lingered around his nose, a scent that held a strong allure for him.

"Come here, have a bowl of soup."

Before reaching the stone bridge, Tang Chen saw a young girl smiling sweetly at him, holding a bowl in her hands. The fragrance he smelled was coming from the bowl she was holding.

Tang Chen's consciousness became hazy again. He forgot who he was, where he was, and where he was going.

He had only one thought in his mind: to walk onto the stone bridge and drink that bowl of soup.

Tang Chen's soul was exhausted, and he felt that drinking that bowl of soup greatly soothed his weary spirit.

And so, draped in the divine power of the God of Kindness and enveloped in the karmic fire of the Red Lotus, Tang Chen stepped onto the stone bridge step by step.

"Drink, give it to me, I want to drink."

Ning Rongrong felt a little nervous. She could tell that Tang Chen was a living person, and that his Meng Po soup was the most effective for the soul.

She never imagined that Tang Chen, a living person, would be so eager for the Meng Po soup.

This is actually normal. Tang Chen's original soul was already dead and was devoured by Tang San and Rakshasa God. Tang San's soul was in a fragmented state, having already died twice and now mixed with Rakshasa God's soul.

Tang Chen's chaotic soul was exhausted.

Besides making people forget their past lives, Meng Po's soup does indeed have the effect of soothing the soul, but it may not be the kind of soothing that Tang Chen was hoping for.

"Don't rush, you can have as much as you want."

Ning Rongrong handed over the Meng Po soup, and Tang Chen, as if he hadn't eaten for ten days and ten nights, immediately pounced on it and snatched the bowl away.

"Ha~"

Tang Chen poured the Meng Po soup into his mouth and let out a satisfied sigh.

"Drink, I want to drink more." He handed the bowl to Ning Rongrong again.

"There's plenty of soup, enough for you to drink."

As she spoke, Ning Rongrong served him another bowl.

Bowl after bowl, Tang Chen drank nine bowls of Meng Po soup before finally putting the bowl down.

Ning Rongrong was somewhat shocked. Since she was able to brew Meng Po soup, Tang Chen was the person who drank it the most... or the soul of the dead.

"Want to drink again?"

Seeing that Tang Chen put down the soup bowl and no longer asked for soup as before, but stood there blankly, Ning Rongrong asked again.

Tang Chen stopped answering and looked at himself with suspicion, from his hands to his feet, as if he had seen something extremely filthy.

He struck a pose as if he were taking off his clothes, and then removed Tang Chen's body.

The soul that emerged from Tang Chen's body was not Tang San, nor Rakshasa God, nor a mixture of the two; rather, it was a completely transparent and unique soul.

Whether it was soul power, divine power, or the Red Lotus Karmic Fire, it was all left on Tang Chen's body.

"Huh, finally feeling comfortable."

In his soul form, "Tang Chen" felt as if he had broken free of the shackles that had bound him, and his expression became much more relaxed.

Ning Rongrong frowned as she looked at Tang Chen's soul. She could sense that Tang Chen's soul, like those of the other souls who had drunk her Meng Po soup, was bewildered yet serene.

Tang Chen didn't remember who he was. To be more precise, he didn't know who he was at all, and he wasn't even puzzled by it.

Where am I going?

"Tang Chen" asked, puzzled.

If he were an ordinary ghost, he would now be led to the ghost realm of the Eastern Ghost Emperor to await judgment.

But Tang Chen is no ordinary ghost, and Ning Rongrong cannot treat him the same way she would treat an ordinary ghost.

Where are you going?

Ning Rongrong pointed to the River of Oblivion.

"Okay, I'll go there."

Tang Chen walked step by step toward the River of Oblivion. He was completely unaware of where it was safe and where it was dangerous, until he stepped into the River of Oblivion.

The moment the waters of the River of Oblivion covered his feet, Tang Chen's new soul gained a few more memories.

A soul as blank as a sheet of paper was instantly stained with ink.

"Ah~ Tang San, Tang Chen, Rakshasa God, no!"

Whether it was Tang San's memories, or the memories of Tang Chen and Rakshasa God, they all flooded into his soul.

His soul, which had been cleansed, turned as black as ink.

Having more memories and escaping a state of complete confusion and ignorance is not a good thing for him.

When he had no memories, things were fine, but once he had memories, his soul suddenly felt heavy, and he instantly sank to the bottom of the River of Oblivion.

Given the chaotic and complex nature of his memories, barring any unforeseen circumstances, he will forever remain at the bottom of the river, never to be reborn.

"Phew, how strange. I thought he was really that capable."

Ning Rongrong patted her chest and then looked at Tang Chen's body on the bridge.

Perhaps due to the lack of a soul, the divine power of the God of Kindness dissipated rapidly, and the Red Lotus Karmic Fire turned Tang Chen's body to ashes.

The moment Tang Chen died, the Asura God sensed it.

He left a mark on the mixed souls of Tang San and Rakshasa God. During the process of Tang Chen's soul being washed away by Meng Po soup, the mark he left behind was also washed away.

However, he no longer cares about what Tang Chen has gone through; all his attention is now focused on Ning Qiuyang.

He hadn't expected that dealing with Ning Qiuyang would be so troublesome. (End of Chapter)
