Chapter 164: The Slaughter King Descends, Hunting Down Chu Chen!
The Divine Thought from the Rakshasa God revealed a truth to Bibi Dong: "Within the Slaughter City, I once left a wisp of Divine Thought. Its purpose was to... sever the Asura God's Legacy."
"I succeeded. That human named Tang Chen has now become the Slaughter King, eroded by the Rakshasa God's Divine Thought, his consciousness dissipated."
Bibi Dong was speechless for a long time before she finally regained her composure.
To think such a thing had happened. No wonder Tang Chen had vanished without a trace; it wasn't that he was dead...
However, such a result was even more terrifying than death!
"So the Slaughter King is Tang Chen. But what does this have to do with your plan?" Bibi Dong asked again.
"You only need to make a trip to the Slaughter City. I will grant you another wisp of Divine Thought. At that time, the Divine Thought will implant a memory into the Slaughter King's mind."
"And if the Slaughter King is sent to kill Chu Chen, his strength is formidable enough to rival a Rank 99!"
"Furthermore, regardless of success or failure, it will have nothing to do with you."
The Rakshasa God detailed her plan nonchalantly. Bibi Dong hadn't expected that the Rakshasa God's scheme was aimed directly at the Asura God and the Divinity behind Chu Chen!
"Are you sure the Asura God won't intervene?" Bibi Dong asked.
"The Asura God?"
"Do you truly believe the Asura God cares about Tang Chen? If he had any intention of protecting Tang Chen when another Divinity intervened, how could he not have acted?"
"Tang Chen is nothing more than a discarded pawn!"
"But he can be used to shift the God of Destruction's hatred onto the Asura God. That way, you can remain uninvolved."
Bibi Dong also felt this plan was feasible. If she or the Rakshasa God moved against Chu Chen, it would surely draw the Killing Intent of the Divinity behind him. At that time...
Something would likely go wrong!
Back during the battle at the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, if not for her Undying Body and the Rakshasa God's Divine Thought saving her life, she would have died long ago.
"Fine, I will do as you say."
Bibi Dong's figure flashed out of the The Pope's Palace, heading toward the Slaughter City. As one of the Death Gods, returning to the Slaughter City was incredibly simple for her.
...
"Failed again..."
Chu Chen felt the Will of Destruction dissipate before him, his expression somewhat troubled. Over the past few days, he had almost completely immersed himself in the comprehension of the Will of Destruction.
His perception of the Scepter of Destruction was becoming increasingly profound!
But the closer he got to this level, the more he felt he was still one step away from condensing the Scepter of Destruction...
He just couldn't take that final step.
"Is my own accumulation still insufficient..."
Chu Chen whispered, as black-purple lightning condensed into a ball of energy in his hand, the overbearing lightning eroding the space around it.
Successive failures made Chu Chen realize that he shouldn't continue obsessing over condensing the Scepter of Destruction. There was still time before the trial ended; if his obsession grew too deep, it might cause problems with his cultivation instead.
He gradually calmed his mind and did nothing at all.
For the next few days, he rarely practiced. Instead, he accompanied Ye Lingling and Qiu'er on a trip back to Emperor Soul Village.
Seeing Tutu again, the old man was delighted with the two girls Chu Chen brought back. For several days straight, a smile was fixed on his face!
"Xiao Chen, why do I feel... like I've been getting more and more energetic lately?" Tutu asked.
Chu Chen smiled and didn't explain.
The medicinal herbs he had obtained from the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well were continuously improving Tutu's constitution!
Now, he already possessed Rank 10 Soul Power.
Perhaps Chu Chen shouldn't have unilaterally influenced the old man's path. In Tutu's eyes, it was only natural for the elderly to return to the earth!
Emperor Soul Village was where he had lived his entire life. Even if Chu Chen had the strength to take him away, he might be reluctant to leave. But how could Chu Chen not have his own selfish desires?
In this World, Tutu was his first relative.
"..."
After staying in Emperor Soul Village for a few days, Chu Chen returned to Blue Silver City after several years. Nothing much had changed here, and Qian Renxue was right—this place had long since fallen under the jurisdiction of the Heaven Dou Empire.
He heard from the City Lord of Blue Silver City.
Back then, in order to completely reclaim Blue Silver City, Crown Prince Xue Qinghe did not hesitate to mobilize troops first to pressure the Star Luo Empire...
To avoid a full-scale outbreak of war.
The Star Luo Empire eventually compromised. There was no need to start a war over a small place. Regardless, such a place... was almost ignored by them. The only thing worth noting was its mineral resources.
Chu Chen used the Bloodline Power of the Blue Silver Emperor.
He made the City Lord of Blue Silver City's Blue Silver King even stronger!
He didn't stay here for long, so the three of them planned to return to the Heaven Dou Royal Academy.
"The human World is really interesting, much more fun than the Star Dou Great Forest..."
Along the way, Qiu'er was in an incredibly excited mood.
The scenery along the way was indeed something she had never seen in the Star Dou Great Forest. Moreover, Chu Chen wouldn't mistreat her; as long as she wanted any kind of delicious food, he would buy it immediately...
"I don't know why, but letting myself calm down these past few days has actually made my comprehension of the Will of Destruction more profound."
Chu Chen said with a laugh.
Perhaps traveling through mountains and rivers was also a form of cultivation. A Soul Master's cultivation was about seizing the essence of heaven and earth, but the myriad things in the mountains and rivers contained both destruction and revival.
Wasn't that also his path?
"It shows you were wound too tight before." Ye Lingling chuckled. Being able to travel like this with Chu Chen was indeed a very nice experience.
"Indeed..."
As the three of them laughed and talked, the originally clear and cloudless sky suddenly darkened. Immediately after, a streak of blood-light swept across the dark sky, appearing incredibly conspicuous.
The air also became permeated with a thick scent of blood.
Chu Chen frowned and signaled Ye Lingling and Qiu'er to stand behind him. He saw that streak of blood-light land several hundred meters away. The crimson Killing Intent, like a fluid, actually restricted Chu Chen's movements!
"This aura, could it be..." Chu Chen's heart shook.
As his Soul Power flared to protect the two girls behind him, Chu Chen released his Blue Silver Domain to counteract the influence of this Killing Intent.
Within that streak of blood-light, a pair of blood-colored wings suddenly unfurled. The Slaughter King walked out from within, his crimson eyes surging with nothing but Killing Intent!
"Slaughter King!"
Chu Chen's heart sank. This guy had actually left the Slaughter City. For what? To hunt him down?
"Found you..."
The Slaughter King grinned hideously, his sharp claws flashing with blood-light. He instantly lunged at Chu Chen as if piercing through space. Seeing this, Chu Chen pushed Ye Lingling and Qiu'er backward with a palm strike.
The Destruction Dragon Spear condensed as he struck out to block the Slaughter King's attack!
"Boom—!"
Terrifying power erupted, and Chu Chen was sent flying by the single blow. The Slaughter King's strength was too great, actually causing Chu Chen's arms to briefly lose all sensation.
