The middle-aged man, now completely free from the control of the Crimson Nine-Headed Bat King, wore a complex expression. Finally, he let out a long sigh:
"Asura, what a ruthless Asura. In the end, I failed your trial..."
This middle-aged man was Tang Chen, the inheritor of the Asura God's legacy. He had been controlled by the Crimson Nine-Headed Bat King for many years, his consciousness trapped in a haze. It wasn't until Chen Yuan killed the Crimson Nine-Headed Bat King that Tang Chen's mind was finally freed.
However, after being eroded by the Crimson Nine-Headed Bat King for so long, Tang Chen was now at the end of his rope. After all, the Crimson Nine-Headed Bat King had been using Tang Chen's body to fight Chen Yuan.
Chen Yuan, with the help of the Asura God's divine power, had truly killed him. The Crimson Nine-Headed Bat King was indeed dead, but Tang Chen's life force was also shattered. He was now on the verge of death.
The current Tang Chen was in a worse state than the one in the original storyline. In the original story, after Tang San's Sea God's Light purified the Crimson Nine-Headed Bat King, it was completely eradicated.
Now, the Crimson Nine-Headed Bat King had always been parasitizing Tang Chen's body, and its spirit ring and spirit bone were both at the fierce beast level. These were originally Tang Chen's powers, so it was no surprise that Tang Chen was now extremely weak.
Tang Chen then looked at Chen Yuan. The faint traces of Asura God's divine power emanating from Chen Yuan's Slaughter Domain revealed his identity. Tang Chen spoke with a complicated tone:
"It seems you are the next inheritor chosen by the Asura God after my death. My name is Tang Chen, from the Clear Sky Sect. Young man, what is your name?"
Chen Yuan's eyes flickered. He hadn't expected that after the Crimson Nine-Headed Bat King's death, Tang Chen wasn't completely gone. To obtain the Asura God's inheritance, he would still need to finish Tang Chen off.
Perhaps it was because he had been in the City of Slaughter for too long, but Chen Yuan's first thought was to simply kill Tang Chen to solve the problem. When Tang Chen asked, Chen Yuan replied indifferently:
"Chen Family, Chen Yuan."
After hearing this, Tang Chen understood Chen Yuan's background and nodded:
"So, you're a descendant of the prestigious Chen Family. Chen Yuan, put away those little thoughts of yours. Even if my strength is now less than a tenth of what it once was, you're still no match for me."
"However, I am indeed nearing the end of my life. After I die, the Asura God's inheritance will be yours. But I still have unfinished business, so I can't give it to you just yet."
"Moreover, since you killed the Crimson Nine-Headed Bat King and freed my consciousness, you've done me a great favor. Take this. It's called the Clear Sky Token. It was once a symbol of my identity. Now, you can use it to ask the Clear Sky Sect, the number one sect in the world, to do one thing for you. After that, our debt will be settled. Return the Clear Sky Token to the Clear Sky Sect. This is the last thing I can leave for them."
Chen Yuan casually took the small dark golden hammer handed to him, his expression slightly strange. He understood that Tang Chen's mindset was still stuck in his era, when the Clear Sky Sect was the number one sect in the world, a force capable of rivaling the Spirit Hall.
According to Tang Chen's thinking, having the Clear Sky Sect mobilize its full strength to do one thing for Chen Yuan would more than repay the debt of saving his life.
However, the Clear Sky Sect of today was no longer the one Tang Chen remembered. Of course, Chen Yuan had no intention of reminding him. He was more concerned about when he could obtain the Asura God's inheritance.
After putting away the dark golden hammer, Chen Yuan asked:
"In that case, I'll wait for you to pass away. But how much longer do you have to live?"
Hearing this, Tang Chen couldn't help but smile bitterly. This young man clearly wished for him to die as soon as possible. But he still had one place to go. He couldn't die here. He spoke in a low voice:
"Not long. Probably just a few months. I need to leave the City of Slaughter and go to a remote island called Sea God Island. Chen Yuan, give me a few months. I need to bring closure to my life. After I die, the Asura God's inheritance will be left on Sea God Island. When you're ready, come and claim it."
After saying this, Tang Chen didn't linger. His time was limited, and he couldn't waste it here. He left with one final remark:
"Don't come too soon. Give me some time. As a reward, I'll store my power in the Asura Demon Sword as compensation for you."
With that, Tang Chen transformed into a gust of wind and left.
Watching the direction Tang Chen disappeared, Chen Yuan's mood wasn't too bad:
"Sea God Island, I'll go there. It's a good opportunity to take my girlfriends along and take part in the Sea God's trials. Compared to the chaotic City of Slaughter, Sea God Island is much more peaceful."
"Moreover, once I become the Asura God's inheritor, the Sea God will have to show some respect. He'll have to make the rewards more generous."
Although he didn't immediately obtain the Asura God's inheritance, he now knew where to go next.
Next, Chen Yuan began to absorb the Blood Demon Left Leg Bone. He believed that this hundred-thousand-year fierce beast spirit bone would bring him significant gains.
He sat down cross-legged again, placing the spirit bone against his left leg. He released his spirit power, injecting it into the spirit bone. The spirit bone transformed into a gaseous energy, gradually merging with his left leg.
Domineering, cold, evil... Just like its spirit ring, this energy was incredibly vast. However, with the foundation of absorbing the spirit ring, absorbing the spirit bone went smoothly.
It took about ten hours before Chen Yuan woke from his meditative state. His eyes were bright, and he wore a satisfied smile. He was very pleased with his gains.
Standing up, he stretched, and his bones crackled. The power of the spirit bone had elevated his physical strength to a new level.
Not only that, but he had also gained two powerful spirit skills. Chen Yuan said with satisfaction:
"Although the spirit ring only has one skill due to the Spirit Avatar, the spirit bone has two skills: Blood Demon's Wrath and Blood Demon Possession."
"Blood Demon's Wrath allows me to manipulate the blood flow of all living beings within a 300-meter radius. If their physical strength isn't sufficient, I can directly crush their hearts. This is extremely useful for clearing out weak enemies or weakening stronger ones."
"Blood Demon Possession burns my own vital blood to increase all attributes by 500%. Physical strength, power, speed, resistance... It's a comprehensive boost. Although burning too much vital blood can reduce my potential or even kill me..."
"I have the Blood Demon Left Leg Bone and the Blue Silver Emperor Right Leg Bone. 'Wildfires cannot burn it all, spring winds bring it back to life' is a divine skill for restoring life energy. With this combination of consumption and recovery, I can use it as a constant burst skill."
"More importantly, my spirit power has reached level 78. Not bad. The spirit ring boosted me by four levels, and the spirit bone by another four. I'm almost at level 80, the Spirit Douluo level. The Crimson Nine-Headed Bat King, after parasitizing Tang Chen for decades and eroding his power, has ultimately benefited me greatly."
Chen Yuan was filled with satisfaction. He then left the City of Slaughter. With the Slaughter Domain protecting him, the City of Slaughter had no hold over him.
After Tang Chen and Chen Yuan left one after the other, the City of Slaughter and the Hell Killing Arena fell into complete silence. It would take at least a decade, if not several, for it to recover.
This was why the King of Slaughter was reluctant to open the Road to Hell. He saw himself as the master of the City of Slaughter, but the true master, the Asura God, wanted nothing more than for the City of Slaughter to produce more Slaughter Gods.
