*****
While Tang Hao was in a life-and-death battle with the King of Slaughter, an unexpected visitor arrived in the City of Slaughter.
Mu Tian.
After realizing that his ace was taken away by Tang San, Mu Tian's mindset became unbalanced. After graduating from Shrek Academy, he returned to the Seven Treasure Glazed Sect.
Dai Mubai, Ma Hongjun, Oscar, and others were also introduced to the sect by him.
Regarding this, Ning Fengzhi expressed his welcome, except for a slightly unnatural expression when facing Oscar... However, none of these students introduced by Mu Tian actually joined the Seven Treasure Glazed Sect.
Dai Mubai was the prince of the Star Luo Empire, losing his competitiveness and most likely to join the White Tiger Sect in the future.
Oscar became a disciple of Yu Xiaogang, considering establishing his own family or sect in the future... However, he harbored feelings for Ning Rongrong, which were directly rejected by Ning Fengzhi.
Ma Hongjun was thoroughly a member of the Shrek Academy.
While conversing with Ning Rongrong, Mu Tian found that his relationship with her was becoming more distant, and they couldn't even find common topics... He attributed all of this to Tang San.
So, Mu Tian applied to Bone Douluo for permission to go out for training.
Bone Douluo considered Mu Tian to have truly matured, not being swayed by personal feelings, and agreed to his idea of going out for training.
However, Bone Douluo couldn't have imagined that Mu Tian would end up in the City of Slaughter.
"To surpass Tang San, I must harness the power of the divine."
When he first awakened his martial soul, Mu Tian felt that he had Austin Griffin and didn't need to pay attention to the inheritance grounds of the divine in this world. But upon realizing that he lost his ace, he understood that he could only seek the inheritance of the divine.
Only then could he catch up to Tang San!
It must be said that Mu Tian was fortunate.
Because Tang Hao caused chaos in the City of Slaughter, the vast majority of fallen souls at or above the Soul Ancestors level died out. Those who survived hid in the shadows and dared not show themselves.
Otherwise, Mu Tian wouldn't even be able to enter the gates of the City of Slaughter.
And when Mu Tian entered the City of Slaughter and saw the scene of rivers of blood, severed limbs, and internal organs rolling in the blood, his first reaction was—
"Ugh!"
For a normal person, witnessing such a disgusting scene would be unbearable.
Especially with the various foul odors emanating from the blood, it was even more nauseating.
"Is this the City of Slaughter? It's even more exaggerated than described in the books, but why is there no one here? Has some sort of butterfly effect occurred?"
After vomiting for a while, Mu Tian took out a bag of water from his storage soul device, gulped down a large mouthful, and only then did he gradually recover, his eyes trembling.
If his stomach hadn't been completely empty, he would have vomited again.
As he came back to his senses, he also heard the tremors coming from the center of the City of Slaughter, as if the entire city was shaking.
"Who is fighting the King of Slaughter?" Mu Tian couldn't see clearly, speculating whether the scene of rivers of blood in the City of Slaughter was related to the King of Slaughter.
But even if it was, it wasn't something he, currently a Soul Elder, could meddle in.
"However, if everyone in this City of Slaughter is dead, is there still a need for me to train?" Mu Tian pondered his current situation, his expression becoming solemn. "It's better to leave."
Mu Tian came to the City of Slaughter to hone himself and to obtain the Domain of Slaughter.
Now, with few people in the City of Slaughter and only the King of Slaughter and some unknown powerful figure fighting in the center, staying here wouldn't provide any training. In fact, it might even lead to his death due to being unable to withstand the aftermath of their battle.
Crash! Boom!
Just as Mu Tian was about to retrace his steps and leave the City of Slaughter, a figure swiftly landed in front of him, dispersing the river of blood and crashing into the ground.
Faced with the overwhelming flood of blood, Mu Tian instinctively ran away.
But with his strength as a Soul Elder, how could he resist?
Even when he unleashed his Moonlight Martial Soul to carry himself, he was eventually engulfed by the river of blood...
"Is that a disembodied beast martial soul?" The King of Slaughter, rising from the blood river, noticed the Three-Headed Hellfire Lizard among the blood and his eyes flashed slightly. Immediately, he released his soul power, dispersing the surrounding blood and once again facing Tang Hao, who swung the hammer like a small mountain.
"The Great Asura Hammer!"
"Nine Rings Explode Together!"
Tang Hao's nine soul rings simultaneously burst, and all the energy within them poured into the Haotian Hammer, causing its already huge size to increase again.
Facing the attack that seemed like the collapse of the heavens, the King of Slaughter roared angrily, unleashing all his energy and meeting it head-on.
Boom!
The collision between the two sides released an explosion of energy, causing the surrounding blood river to burst and evaporate in an instant, and the surrounding buildings were reduced to rubble in an instant.
"Cough!"
The King of Slaughter coughed up a dark red blood, his crimson eyes flickering as if another will was trying to revive.
"Damn it, Tang Chen!"
"How dare you at this time..."
Under the bombardment of Tang Hao's Great Asura Hammer and exploding rings, the dormant consciousness of Tang Chen suddenly awakened, fiercely contending for control of the body. But in the struggle between the two, the King of Slaughter was left powerless to resist, and the hammer, as mighty as a falling sky, ruthlessly smashed him into the ground.
Boom!
Suddenly, the ground cracked like a spider's web.
After this strike was executed, the Haotian Hammer returned to its normal size and fell into Tang Hao's hands. However, he didn't notice a strand of blood-red energy entering the blood river that had been dispersed by the King of Slaughter's soul power, and it drilled into the body of a person who was unconscious...
"Hahaha!"
Wild laughter erupted from the center of the cracked ground. Compared to the King of Slaughter's gloominess, this laughter was incredibly heroic, even making Tang Hao feel somewhat familiar.
Buzz—
The King of Slaughter stood up again, his clothes torn, but the blood-colored wings on his back dissipated inch by inch, and his pale face returned to a healthy wheat color.
Even the contours of his face had changed slightly.
While Tang Hao remained vigilant, he was also shocked and murmured, "You... you're... Grandpa!"
"It's Hao'er, right?" Tang Chen immediately recognized Tang Hao's identity with a glance, laughing heartily. "I never expected to be awakened by you. Haotian Sect has a worthy successor!"
Splash!
However, to Tang Chen's surprise, Tang Hao knelt directly, kowtowing three times loudly, and said, "Grandpa, I am ashamed of Haotian Sect, leading the sect to its current state. I hope Grandpa will punish me!"
"What are you doing?" Tang Chen realized that something had happened to Haotian Sect. He hurriedly stepped to Tang Hao's side, helped him up, and asked what had happened.
So, Tang Hao recounted the events of falling in love with the Hundred Thousand Year Spirit Beast, giving birth to offspring, and finally being attacked by the former Pope of the Spirit Hall, leading to his expulsion from Haotian Sect and the sect's closure.
"So many things have happened." Tang Chen sighed, then his gaze turned sharp. "Hmph! Those elders of Haotian Sect, including your father, are all too foolish!"
"Why fear anything? Just fight back directly!"
"Although the Spirit Hall is powerful, other forces won't stand by and watch Haotian Sect be destroyed. Those sects won't let the Spirit Hall dominate alone! They just don't understand the principle of 'When the rabbit dies, the fox mourns'!"
"Unfortunately, your father and those elders lack foresight!"
Tang Hao couldn't help but get excited. "Grandpa, are you saying I'm not at fault?"
"What fault do you have? Didn't you kill the former Pope of the Spirit Hall?" Tang Chen snorted. "Let me tell you, my good grandson, you only have two faults—"
"First, you're not strong enough!"
"As long as you're strong enough, right and wrong in the world are defined by you. Weaklings can only accept the fate of being dominated by the strong! If the weak can resist fate, it's only because they're strong enough! That's the only truth in the world!"
