Douluo Continent: Dragon's Journey Across the World

At the Battle of Jialing Pass, the Haotian Sect's Sect Master Tang Xiao and the four elders were all gathered together. However, all five of them were dressed in white and appeared extremely solemn.

Even all the disciples of the Haotian Sect were dressed in white, like mourning clothes, and their faces were filled with grief and indignation.

Since the news of Tang Chen's death spread, everyone in the Haotian Sect has been extremely grief-stricken and indignant, and there is also a bit of panic among them. After all, their biggest backer has been lost, and the sect will face an unprecedented crisis.

The news that has just arrived seems to have given everyone hope, not only for the sect's survival but also for revenge.

The Second Elder looked at Tang Xiao: "Sect Master, is this the Ancestor's plan? Is this the hope the Ancestor offered us?"

Tang Xiao nodded: "The ancestor only told me the general plan. He originally wanted to communicate with Qian Daoliu and Bibi Dong to kill Yang Ping'an together, with the aim of leaving a legacy for our Haotian Sect. Unexpectedly, the news has taken a turn for the worse. Even Bibi Dong and Qian Daoliu were seriously injured. It seems that the plan is better and more successful than he imagined."

The Second Elder's old face seemed to show a glimmer of hope: "Sect Master, since the Ancestor has laid the foundation for us, we can no longer back down. Even if we die, we old folks must avenge the old Sect Master and make the Martial Soul Empire pay the price for what happened back then."

Tang Xiao was still a little worried: "Second Elder, where do you think Xiao San is now? I hope he didn't participate in the battle at Liangyue Mountain."

The Second Elder quickly said, "Sect Master, you can rest assured. Since the Ancestor has already planned everything, he will definitely make arrangements for the future of our sect. Tang San will definitely be able to reach unprecedented heights and even become the second Limit Douluo of our Clear Sky Sect."

Tang Xiao nodded in agreement, after all, Tang Chen was a brilliant strategist who had made unprecedented contributions to the Haotian Sect and was also an unprecedented genius of the Haotian Sect.

The emperors of the two empires were also thrilled to hear this news. They had been wary of Bibi Dong and Qian Daoliu, the two Limit Douluos, but now both of them were seriously injured, and even all six elders were severely injured. This would be an unprecedented crisis for the Spirit Empire.

On Poseidon Island, Poseidon, the Sea God Douluo, seemed to sense Tang Chen's demise, and his expression became extremely gloomy.

"Tang Chen, I never imagined that you would still perish after so much time. Perhaps we were truly not meant to be in this life."

……

In the far north, news spreads relatively slowly, but the Four Elements Academy still has some members from the original academy who regularly send out messages.

After hearing the two pieces of news in a row, Shui Bing'er was heartbroken, and even Feng Xiaotian and the others fell into an unusual silence.

The Four Elements Academy was able to escape the war in the far north thanks to Yang Ping'an's suggestion and his financial support.

In addition, Feng Xiaotian, Huo Wushuang and the others also had a close relationship with Yang Ping'an. They had all received help from Yang Ping'an and even went to Seagod Island with him for training. In their hearts, Yang Ping'an was like an older brother. They never expected that he would perish.

The relationship between Yang Ping'an and Shui Bing'er is quite clear to everyone.

Feng Xiaotian comforted her, "Junior Sister Bing'er, I think there's something wrong with this news. Brother Yang is always cautious, how could he rashly risk his life against someone? Not to mention, he always plans things out carefully and always has a backup plan."

"Besides, Brother Yang is Chrysanthemum Douluo's disciple. The Spirit Empire shouldn't be so reckless as to attack him. There might be other reasons behind this."

Huo Wushuang and Huo Wu quickly offered words of comfort to Shui Bing'er.

But Shui Bing'er still wore an extremely worried expression, seemingly filled with sadness.

After leaving Jialing Pass, Yang Ping'an originally intended to go to the northern lands first, but relatively speaking, he went to another place instead, as there were some things that needed to be dealt with urgently.

Liangyue Mountain was the first place Yang Ping'an arrived at, and it was also the safest place he could think of at this stage.

Upon arriving at the underground palace in the belly of Liangyue Mountain, Yang Ping'an's soul rings flashed, and a teleportation portal resembling a black hole appeared, which was the first skill of his left leg soul bone: Spatial Transfer.

With the use of spatial teleportation, a blood-red longsword slowly flew out of the portal. It was the Asura Demon Sword. No one had entered the interior of these two mountains for tens of thousands of years, making it absolutely safe.

At this moment, the Asura Demon Sword lay flat on the ground, seemingly utterly calm, and showed no sign of wanting to move away.

Because the battle with Tang Chen was too intense and Bibi Dong and the others attacked too suddenly, Yang Ping'an had no time to pay attention to the content of his Death God assessment.

Upon reviewing the information in my mind again, I indeed saw the assessment rewards and new assessment content.

"Yang Ping'an, the sixth of the Nine Trials of the Grim Reaper, has been successfully completed by defeating Poseidon, Qian Daoliu, and Tang Chen in succession. His affinity with the Grim Reaper has increased by 10%, bringing his total affinity to 80%."

At the same time, Yang Ping'an also obtained the content of the seventh trial of the Grim Reaper.

"Yang Ping'an, the seventh of the Nine Trials of Death, has gained the approval of the Tower of Death. There is no time limit; failure to pass the trial results in death."

Yang Ping'an was also surprised when he saw the test content. He had seen the so-called Tower of Death before, and even took the test there for a while. That hundred-story Tower of Death had caused him a lot of suffering.

Moreover, there are even assessments with no time limit. Could it be that these assessments are much more difficult than all other assessments, and even take countless years to complete?

At this moment, Yang Ping'an seemed to hesitate a bit, feeling that his assessment was always strange and even shrouded in a huge fog.

After hesitating for a while, Yang Ping'an picked up the Asura Demon Sword from the ground again. At this moment, the Asura Demon Sword seemed to be surrounded by a red light array, which even Yang Ping'an felt was difficult to resist. It was even more powerful than when he first held the Asura Demon Sword.

Just then, the space seemed to change. Yang Ping'an seemed to be taken into a virtual space by the Asura Demon Sword. He seemed to be in a huge palace, and the aura of Asura was everywhere, which was even more terrifying than the City of Slaughter.

A huge, blood-red figure appeared in the palace, exuding an extremely fierce aura, one could even say it looked down on all living beings.

Yang Ping'an was startled and quickly bowed, saying, "Greetings, Lord Asura God."

This figure exuded boundless Asura aura, seemingly originating from the same source as his own Asura Domain, and even a thousand times stronger. Yang Ping'an instantly understood that this person was the Asura God, one of the five great god-kings of the God Realm.

The Asura God spoke calmly: "Not bad, Yang Ping'an. I didn't expect you to be able to comprehend the Asura Domain through the Asura Demon Sword and your own understanding, and even come to this Asura Temple. It seems I underestimated you before."

Yang Ping'an quickly said, "Thank you for your guidance and help, Lord Asura God. If it weren't for your deliberate actions, I'm afraid I wouldn't have been able to obtain this Asura Demon Sword."

The Asura God nodded: "This is your own destiny. I did not intentionally guide you. The Asura Demon Sword chose you, and probably also chose the Asura Domain that you evolved into."

Yang Ping'an seemed to have thought of something: "Lord Asura God, Tang Chen passed the eighth trial of Asura City and should have gained the Asura Demon Sword's approval. According to Tang Chen's consciousness, he should have sent the Asura Demon Sword away. I did feel this power at the time, so why did this power gradually disappear?"

The Asura God snorted coldly: "Tang Chen is merely an inheritor of the Asura God, and he has only obtained the right to use the Asura Demon Sword. He has not completely merged with the Asura Demon Sword. Therefore, his consciousness before death will be quickly destroyed by the Asura Demon Sword. After all, the power of the Asura Demon Sword is far beyond what Tang Chen can imagine."

"But you are different. You are a living person, unlike Tang Chen who is just a remnant consciousness. You have even obtained the Asura Domain. It is normal for the Asura Demon Sword to choose you and abandon Tang Chen."

Yang Ping'an quickly bowed and said, "Thank you for your kindness, Lord Asura God. If it weren't for your tacit approval, my power would be like a firefly compared to the bright moon in the face of the Asura Demon Realm. I would probably have died on the Asura Demon Sword long ago."

The God of Asura nodded: "That's right. You are indeed still very weak now, but compared to all the Soul Masters in the Douluo Continent, you are already the number one in the world, even stronger than those Limit Douluos could imagine."

"I, the Asura God, am now asking you again if you have any intention of obtaining the Asura God's inheritance. This is a one-time opportunity, so I hope you will seize it."

Yang Ping'an remained silent for a while before speaking: "Lord Asura God, you should know that I have already obtained the inheritance of Lord Death. I did not obtain the inheritance of the Sea God on Sea God Island. I'm afraid my body has been secretly dealt with by Lord Death, so I am unable to inherit the inheritance of other gods."

The Asura God nodded: "Yang Ping'an, you are right. You already possess the power of the God of Death. Especially after you obtained your eighth soul ring, your body is already half-alive and half-dead, or rather, half-human and half-god. Ordinary gods really cannot bestow their inheritance upon you."

"But I am the God of Asura, a god-king of the same level as the God of Death. Although it will be a bit troublesome to pass on my inheritance, it is still possible."

A hint of doubt seemed to appear in Yang Ping'an's eyes: "Lord Asura God, if I accept the Asura God's inheritance, will all the previous inheritance from the God of Death be nullified, and will I even be unable to inherit the God of Death's divine position?"

The God of Asura nodded: "Although there are many ordinary god positions in the God Realm, every God-King is indispensable. The God of Death is particularly special and unique. The power of the God of Death is not very compatible with any of the gods, so you need to give up the God of Death's test in order to participate in the God of Asura's test."

At this moment, Yang Ping'an seemed to reveal a resolute look in his eyes: "Thank you, Lord Asura God. I am not one to give up halfway. Now that I have already reached the seventh trial of the Death God's inheritance, I cannot abandon the Death God's will."

The Asura God seemed to reveal a hint of coldness on his face: "Yang Ping'an, do you know that the God of Death has already fallen? No matter how powerful he was in life, he is now only a wisp of his soul. Although he can give you some help, he cannot help you complete the inheritance of the Ninth Trial."

"The ninth trial at the God-King level is exceptionally difficult and requires immense power. Although the God of Death has bestowed upon you the Nine Trials of Death, you must accumulate that power yourself, which may take decades or even centuries to achieve."

"And I am one of the five great god-kings of the divine realm, and also an enforcer of the divine order. I am currently at my peak. As long as you inherit my divine position, completing the divine trial will not be difficult for you, given your strength." (End of Chapter)
