Chapter 327: A Crazy Idea
Tang San, now armed with his newly acquired "cheat", began hunting down the weak who hid in the slums of Slaughter City. Using the Bone Trident, he absorbed their souls and flesh to strengthen himself while also converting their corpses into mindless skeleton soldiers. He squeezed every ounce of value out of them.
Most of the outcasts in the city were stronger than him, but it didn't matter. Tang San wielded a divine artifact even though he couldn't yet unleash its full power, a divine weapon was still a divine weapon. No ordinary person could resist it.
Using hidden weapon techniques, he would ambush his targets. The moment the Bone Trident pierced their bodies, its power would instantly paralyze them leaving them defenseless as their souls and flesh were devoured, reducing them to dry husks. Even in death, their bodies were repurposed into skeleton soldiers an utterly miserable fate.
But these people had it coming.
After all, Slaughter City was a den of criminals. If you randomly picked ten people off the streets and executed them, there was no chance of injustice.
However, 90% of the life energy the Bone Trident absorbed was used to repair itself. Only a tiny fraction was fed back to Tang San, gradually altering his body and enhancing his strength.
Though each boost was minor, compared to regular cultivation, his progress was lightning fast.
With every kill, Tang San felt himself growing stronger and he was becoming addicted to the feeling.
Meanwhile, in the God Realm
The Asura God, who had been watching Tang San's every move, immediately noticed the moment the Bone Trident appeared.
The dense Abyssal aura it exuded was almost identical to the one seen in the prophetic video
"There's no doubt about it… This is an artifact of the Abyss! And it must be how Tang San connects with the Abyssal Demons!"
He had finally caught a lead!
Just as he was about to inform the other four God Kings, he suddenly hesitated.
"Let's observe a bit longer… I don't want to raise a false alarm."
After all, Tang San was a fragment of his own soul. Because of this, the Asura God had a permanent link with him allowing him to monitor Tang San's every move, thought, and even emotions.
Then
The moment Tang San killed his first victim, absorbing flesh, soul, and energy through the Bone Trident
A dark, unfathomable force silently infiltrated the Asura God's soul!
He immediately realized
"That power came from the Bone Trident!"
Though it was only a sliver, the moment it touched his divine soul, it took root like a seed of power.
More importantly
He could sense that his own divine power was slowly being assimilated by this Abyssal energy!
At first, he was alarmed.
But soon, his shock turned to excitement.
Because
"This power… is far superior to divine power!"
"So this is Abyssal energy?!"
A mad idea suddenly took root in the Asura God's mind
"What if… we surrender the God Realm to the Abyss?"
"Wouldn't that allow us to harness its power turning the God Realm into a true 'Divine Star'?"
The thought was insane
But Asura God was not like ordinary gods.
He didn't care about good or evil only strength.
If embracing the Abyss made him stronger, why should he resist?
After all
"Asura" represented slaughter and destruction.
He was never a god of righteousness.
Just look at Slaughter City that was his domain.
He was, at best, a god of carnage, and at worst, a demon himself.
However
Though Asura God was willing to embrace the Abyss, he knew the other God Kings wouldn't.
If they found out, they'd try to stop him.
So
He decided to hide the truth.
He would keep Tang San's transformation a secret, shielding him from the other gods' scrutiny.
"When the time is right, I will lead the Abyss into the God Realm myself."
"Once the God Realm and the Douluo Star become part of the Abyss, I will ascend becoming the new Abyssal Lord!"
The more he thought about it, the hotter his blood burned with excitement.
Right then and there
He deliberately offered more of his own divine power to the Abyssal seed in his soul, allowing it to grow stronger.
As he did so
He felt it.
The depth of the Abyss.
The incomprehensible might it contained.
The absolute insignificance of everything else in comparison.
Even their so called "divine power" was pathetically weak in the face of the Abyss.
"We were just frogs in a well, thinking we ruled the heavens…"
"We cannot resist the Abyss."
"The only path forward… is surrender."
"And if we surrender early "
"I might even be granted the title of Abyssal King."
"What's there to hesitate about?"
A Higher Being Watches…
Meanwhile
Far away, in White Cloud City
Ye Cheng, still under the Deep Abyss Lord persona, suddenly sensed something.
His gaze shifted toward the God Realm.
With a single thought, he saw everything.
The five God Kings completely unaware that they were being watched like insects.
He had already transcended the level of gods.
One glance
And he saw through everything.
"So… Asura God wants to betray the God Realm and embrace the Abyss?"
"How interesting."
"And how convenient for me."
Since someone was willing to be his pawn, why should he refuse?
Things were getting more entertaining by the minute.
"Relics from the Future" Appear
Aside from the Bone Trident, Ye Cheng had also scattered other "artifacts from the future" across the Douluo Continent.
For example
In major cities, gigantic Abyssal demon corpses suddenly fell from the sky. The dense demonic aura they emitted corrupted anyone nearby, causing them to mutate growing horns, scales, or claws.In remote ruins, broken high level Soul Tools and fragments of divine weapons appeared each radiating unfathomable power.In some ancient battlefields, severed limbs of gods surfaced emitting a mysterious presence that affected the very laws of nature.
Each of these "relics from the future" caused massive disturbances wherever they landed.
Those with ambition immediately set out to claim them.
A new era of chaos had begun.
