Douluo Continent: Starting with a Tom Cat

Page 228

Then he noticed Poseidon's muddy and dirty red robe and chaotic internal energy. Was this a consequence of his battle with Shen An, or was Shen An deliberately holding back?

Tang Chen was about to speak when he was interrupted by a voice.

"Alright, with a formidable enemy at hand, stop your sweet talk. Tang Chen, in the name of the God of Asura, I will bestow upon you the Ninth Trial of Asura. Anyone who obstructs the Spirit Empire's unification of the continent may be killed!"

The voice of the Asura God's thought rang out at this moment.

Tang Chen calmed down instantly. He had just returned and had many questions in his mind, but no matter how many things there were, none of them were as important as the Asura God Trial.

The Asura God thought continued, "Poseidon will explain everything to you, and you will thank me."

So, Poseidon patiently explained to Tang Chen what had happened during this period, as well as the great battle that had taken place not long ago.

From the retreat of the Haotian Sect to Tang Hao being killed in front of the world, Tang Xiao and all the elders of the Haotian Sect dying, and himself being knocked back by Shen An's sword.

With each note Tang Chen heard, his breathing grew heavier and his killing intent intensified until finally, his eyes turned bloodshot, and he roared to the sky, unleashing a sound that shook the heavens and earth.

"Shen An! Shen An!"

Poseidon looked worried. After fighting Shen An, she knew how powerful he was. Even she, who was wielding a divine weapon, was no match for Shen An. Tang Chen was stronger than her, but only by a limited margin. She was worried that Tang Chen was no match for Shen An.

Tang Chen understood Poseidon's meaning, forcibly suppressed the excitement in his heart, and said, "Don't worry, after I broke free from the prison of Rakshasa's evil thoughts with the help of the light of the sea god, I achieved that demigod body and came into contact with the power of gods. Now, apart from god-level powerhouses, I am the strongest!"

Shura nodded slightly. Tang Chen was indeed right, which was why he chose to release Tang Chen.

"However, don't let your guard down. That person has a million-year soul ring and is definitely not to be underestimated. You and Poseidon should rest for three days to recover. I have the Asura Secret Technique to pass on to you."

Tang Chen glanced deeply at the Asura Divine Sense. His intuition told him that for so many years, the Asura Divine Sense knew that he was trapped in the Rakshasa Evil Thought, but he had always ignored it.

'This Asura divine sense is definitely not benevolent,' Tang Chen thought to himself, but did not say it aloud. Now was not the time to fall out with the Asura divine sense; he absolutely could not go to the Asura inheritance again.

Once Tang Chen made up his mind, after killing Shen An, he would do everything he could to gather faith, even if it took thousands of years.

At the moment Tang Xiao roared, Qian Daoliu inside Jialing Pass suddenly raised an eyebrow. Was it just his imagination? He seemed to sense the presence of an old friend.

"I hope it's not you, otherwise things will get complicated."

Qian Daoliu muttered to himself, then turned to look at a room where Shen Anyan said he had gained some insights after the battle with Poseidon and was going into seclusion to reflect on them.

A cat and a mouse dressed in guard robes were standing guard at the door, but of course, it was just for show; in reality, they were already asleep standing up.

Tom even sleeps with the trident in his arms; cats love harpoons, which makes perfect sense, right?

Shen sat quietly in the room, looking at the virtual page in front of her.

A massive amount of fame points are converted into Soul Power Experience Packs and various prizes, including a lottery ticket for a mysterious figure.

However, most of the prizes nowadays are miscellaneous items, mostly for fun purposes. I haven't seen any that can actually boost combat power, like strength potions or speed potions.

Shen An used up all the Soul Power Experience Packs, and in a short while, his cultivation level rose to level 80. At this moment, Shen An also learned the number of Fame Points required to reach level 80.

Fifty million!

This amount would have been an astronomical sum in the past, but it's not enough for Shen An now.

Currently, Shen An alone possesses 90 million reputation points, and that number continues to rise.

However, Shen An was not in a hurry to absorb the eighth spirit ring. He planned to further raise his limit, and the best way to do that was to refine the jade bone.

Now that he has collected all six jade bones, Shen An clearly remembers the system's description of the jade bones.

A golden body and jade body, if one achieves a minor success, one will have a divine body; if one achieves a major success, one will be immortal and indestructible!

With his previous experience, Shen An easily refined the remaining four pieces of jade bone.

Inside the house, golden light surrounded him, illuminating the extraordinary nature of his golden and jade-like body.

Shen An's body was upright, with smooth and powerful muscle lines, like a divine sculpture, with every muscle containing boundless power.

At this moment, Shen An's skin was translucent, and his internal bones were strangely visible, all of them jade-colored.

At this moment, the golden body and jade body have been completely achieved!

Shen An's eyes suddenly showed surprise. He felt an unprecedented sense of power and refreshment.

At the same time, the space around him seemed as fragile as thin paper to Shen An, as if a single forceful swipe of his hand would cause the space to tear apart.

This extreme power is so captivating. If he were to encounter Poseidon again, Shen An would be confident that he could crush her to death without even using his soul power.

"Is this the golden body and jade body that can rival a god's body even at the minor completion stage?" Shen An muttered to himself.

"So, next, I should advance to the Soul Douluo level. How many years will it take for my eighth Soul Ring to be completed? A million years, or even ten million years?"

Shen An thought to himself, silently chanting, "Exchange for a soul ring!"

The familiar seven-colored light reappeared, rushing to merge into Shen An's body, transforming into the purest energy, and wildly raising Shen An's foundation and upper limit.

Endless seven-colored energy surged into Shen An's body, and his eighth soul ring was crimson when it took shape, transforming into gold in less than half a day!

On the third day of Shen An's seclusion, the Tian Dou forces unexpectedly swept in again.

Unlike in the past, this time only Poseidon, the Seven Sacred Pillar Douluo, Tang Chen, and the remaining disciples of the Clear Sky Sect came.

Tang Chen gazed calmly at the city ahead with his tiger-like eyes. He was determined to conquer the city, rebuild the prestige of the Haotian Sect, and wash away the humiliation the sect had suffered over the years!

"Qian Daoliu! Shen An! Get out here!"

Tang Xiao suddenly shouted, his powerful voice resounding through the heavens and earth, as if the heavens were enraged.

"Who dares to be disrespectful to the High Priest!"

A sharp whistle rang out from within the city, and the first person to emerge was none other than Ghost Douluo, Ghost Phantom!

But when he looked up, his pupils suddenly contracted, revealing an incredulous expression, and he exclaimed, "Tang Chen!"

His forward-leaning figure suddenly recoiled; this ruthless man was beyond his capabilities, and he needed to hurry and find the Grand Elder.

The Spirit Hall has its own special communication methods, and Qian Daoliu at Jialing Pass received the message from Gui Mei at the same time.

"It really is you. You're still alive."

Qian Daoliu's expression was solemn. No one knew that person's strength better than him; that person could be considered his lifelong enemy.

He first looked towards where Shen An was in seclusion, and then decided to go and take over first.

"I don't know if I can do it," Qian Daoliu muttered to himself.

Qian Daoliu admitted that, as one of the three peerless powerhouses of the previous era, he and Poseidon were actually slightly inferior to Tang Chen.

In the past, both of them were level 99 titled Douluo. Their martial souls were not only god-level martial souls, but also had a terrifying configuration of nine black and one red. Even so, they were still slightly inferior to Tang Chen.

Qian Daoliu vaguely remembered that back then, he and Tang Chen both expressed their feelings to Poseidon. Poseidon said that she would accept whoever could become a god.

Isn't this a clear rejection?

Instead of pressing his advantage, Tang Chen set off with great ambition to find a divine position, and disappeared for decades during this search.

Qian Daoliu believed that it would not be difficult for Tang Chen to gain the favor of the gods with his qualifications. In fact, as long as the other party had enough patience, he could even condense faith for a thousand years and become a god.

Therefore, in the decades that Tang Chen was missing, the other party must have made tremendous progress.

Qian Daoliu gritted his teeth, deciding to ignore everything and go hold the line first!

"Ghost, come to Jialing Pass immediately. If Shen An shows any signs of leaving the pass, notify him in time."

Qian Daoliu spread his six wings, his body shimmering with golden light, holy and majestic, and flew toward the sky at an incredible speed, leaving behind a long golden tail.

"Tang Chen, come and fight!"

Tang Chen also saw the thousand golden lights shining brightly in the sky. He ignored them and took a step forward. A red phantom full of infinite killing intent appeared behind him, and the red light in his hand condensed into a hammer shape.

A colossal red hammer, gleaming with countless magnificent magical runes, was gripped tightly in Tang Chen's hands. With the force of a raging inferno, he struck upwards directly at Qian Daoliu's six-winged angel phantom.

Rumble!!!

The golden and red lights intertwined, and after a brief collision, the intense red light fiercely devoured the golden light, sending it flying an unknown distance away!

After a brief exchange, Qian Daoliu was utterly shocked. Tang Chen's current power far surpassed that of a level 99 Peerless Douluo. Unless he possessed the Angelic Holy Sword, he had no chance of winning.

'Damn it, the Angelic Sword isn't with me!' Qian Daoliu cursed inwardly.

"Oh, it's just you, Qian Daoliu. Considering our past relationship, as long as you cause the Martial Soul Empire to disintegrate and retire, and reveal Shen An's whereabouts, I will spare your life."

Although Tang Chen was standing on the ground, he exuded a sense of looking down from above.

"Tang Chen, you're too arrogant. We've only just exchanged blows. Let's fight again!"

With a roar, Qian Daoliu was mobilizing the power of the angels and deities, a privilege he held as a worshipper.

Both are considered among the three pinnacles. The greatest advantage of the Thousand Paths School lies in its balance and the ability to unleash its maximum power whenever and wherever it takes to the skies.

At this moment, the phantom of the six-winged angel behind him materialized out of thin air, drawing in all the rays of the sun high in the sky, instantly transforming it into a hundred-foot-long golden giant sword, with light and flames flowing across its blade.

"Execute him!!!"

The hundred-foot-long giant sword slashed down from nowhere, causing waves to ripple in the surrounding space, as if it could not withstand the terrifying energy.

Tang Chen's expression remained unchanged, with eight black and one red soul rings manifesting behind him. Qian Daoliu's ability to mobilize the power of the sun and the power of the angels, reaching the level of a demigod, was worthy of Tang Chen's attention.

He gripped the giant hammer and leaped up, transforming into a crimson meteor to meet the sword.

Gold and blood hues merged into one in an instant and then suddenly erupted, unleashing a massive energy like a landslide and tsunami in the sky, turning all the clouds within a thousand feet in radius into nothingness.

Poseidon looked at Tang Chen with a gleam in his eyes. This was the strongest Soul Master of the previous era, the true number one in the world!

At this moment, the ghost was pacing anxiously in front of Shen An's room, wanting to enter but afraid of disturbing him.

Tom and Jerry even thoughtfully offered him some sunflower seeds and fruit, meaning to help him pass the time.

Ghostly's lips twitched slightly; he really couldn't eat.

Suddenly, the door burst open, and a tall, straight figure appeared before his eyes.

A day and a half later, Shen An emerged from seclusion, his aura as deep and boundless as the ocean, like a god or a saint.

The ghost looked at Shen An, its face filled with shock. That wasn't a person at all; it was clearly a revered immortal! A world unto itself!

The ghostly spirit trembled, and Shen An, in this state, couldn't help but prostrate himself in worship, just as an ordinary creature would face a deity in the heavens.

“Shen An, the Grand Elder needs help even more,” Ghost said, forcing back his trembling voice.

Shen An simply nodded and disappeared from the spot.

Unlike ordinary Soul Masters whose combat power increases dramatically after obtaining a Soul Ring, Shen An's strength increases exponentially every time he acquires a Soul Ring.

At this moment, he could already sense the great battle hundreds of miles away, a realm and combat power that ordinary soul masters could only dream of in their lifetime.

But for him at this moment, it was nothing special.

The ghost seemed to have seen a ghost. As Shen An disappeared from the spot, the terrifying aura also vanished, causing the ghost to breathe a sigh of relief.

Tom and Jerry were stunned. Shen An had just left so gracefully. What were they going to do? They were planning to watch the show.

Then the two little ones looked around and quickly found two brooms in the corner. They quickly climbed onto them, just like riding horses.

Ghost looked at them with a strange expression, wondering what was wrong with these two.

"Do you want to come over? I'll take you," the ghost said.

Then Tom Jerry lightly slapped the broom with his leg, and then flew up gracefully, heading straight for the sky.

Ghostly: ......

At this moment, Qian Daoliu was already covered in wounds. He was indeed no match for Tang Chen. In this battle, he had been constantly using the resources of the Angelic Worshippers, otherwise he would not have been able to hold on until now.

Tang Chen's eyes were indifferent: "The warm-up is over, it's time to end this."

The hammer in his hand suddenly grew larger, radiating a terrifying aura.

"The Nine Absolute Techniques of Haotian!"

"You're right, it's time to end this." A voice as indifferent as a sword rang out, and a jade-colored hand blocked the Haotian Hammer head-on.

This contemptuous attitude made it seem as if the weapon in his hand was not the world's number one weapon spirit, the Clear Sky Hammer, but a toy hammer.

Immediately, to Tang Chen's incredulous gaze, that hand slammed down, unleashing an unimaginable, immense force.

The next moment, Tang Chen, along with his hammer, was slammed hundreds of meters into the ground.

Chapter 328 I am invincible among men

Qian Daoliu looked at Shen An in front of him, who was like a celestial being, and whose aura made him tremble.

He swallowed hard. Did he become this strong just by going into seclusion?

What kind of barrier is this? He also wants to go and close it off for a while.
