In the God Realm, within the Asura God's Palace, the Asura God and the Sea God were observing the situation on the Douluo Continent through a light screen.
Normally, one day in the God Realm equated to one year on the Douluo Continent. The past year's events on the Douluo Continent were merely an instant for the gods in the God Realm.
The Sea God appeared exceptionally surprised. "Asura, your inheritor is quite something. That Rakshasa God has reached such a level of strength, yet was still easily defeated by Yang Xiong. Even though Yang Xiong hasn't reached level 100 yet, his strength wouldn't be considered at the bottom once he arrives in the God Realm."
The Asura God said, "In terms of strength, after absorbing Bibi Dong's divine power and with the so-called God Slaying Array, this Rakshasa God was already extremely close to a second-rank god, and far surpassed Qian Renxue at level 100. This was likely the Rakshasa God's last resort, but unfortunately, Yang Xiong is even stronger."
"Although Yang Xiong hasn't become a god, his physical condition has long reached the realm of gods. Especially after he inherited the Thunder God's legacy, his physical condition underwent another transformation, making him stronger than ordinary gods."
"If Bibi Dong was a true god at level 100 without a God Position, then Yang Xiong is the complete opposite. Yang Xiong already possesses a God Position and a Divine Body, but unfortunately, he hasn't reached level 100. However, precisely because of this, Yang Xiong's physical quality far surpasses that of Soul Masters at the same level."
The Sea God's face showed a hint of confusion. "Asura God, according to your words, could all of this be the machinations of the previous Rakshasa God?"
The Asura God, who usually maintained a stoic expression, suddenly showed a hint of a smile. "I've fought with the Rakshasa God my entire life. Due to the Evil God's reputation and the rules of the God Realm, I couldn't make a move against him. But the Rakshasa God was clearly unwilling to be inferior to me in status and strength, so he schemed against my inheritor several times."
"Whether it was Bibi Dong or Tang San, they were likely both part of the Rakshasa God's schemes. Otherwise, how could Bibi Dong have so coincidentally mastered the God Slaying Array? Not to mention that Tang San and Bibi Dong becoming gods one after another clearly indicated the intention to make Bibi Dong's strength a stepping stone for Tang San."
"Furthermore, the Rakshasa God should have long understood Tang San's personality. Especially after Tang San became the new Rakshasa God, his heart became evil and twisted. Even his inner negative thoughts rapidly expanded, which is why he ambushed Yang Xiong and displayed such great ambition. This is merely Tang San's own nature."
The Sea God then nodded. "It feels like the Douluo World is becoming more chaotic. But fortunately, with Yang Xiong's strength, he should be able to kill Tang San. For a mortal to kill a god, even I wouldn't have dared to imagine such a thing in my time."
The Asura God suddenly chuckled. "It's not that simple. The Evil God has taken notice of Tang San and likely won't let him die so easily. Moreover, don't you find it strange that Tang San inherited the Rakshasa God's position?"
The Sea God asked, "What's strange about that? Didn't Tang San also pass the nine trials?"
The Asura God shook his head. "Tang San's bloodline is special; he possesses half of a Soul Beast's bloodline. In a sense, it is tied to the destiny of the Soul Beast race, and he has a natural affinity for them."
"The Rakshasa God passing his position to Tang San was, from beginning to end, the Evil God's scheme. Otherwise, how could Bibi Dong, after undergoing so many trials, have ended up in such a tragic state?"
The Sea God questioned, "Asura, what exactly do you mean by that?"
The Asura God said helplessly, "Actually, according to the plan of the Five Great God Kings, Tang San was destined to become a god. If it wasn't for the Rakshasa God's position, it would have been yours or mine. At that time, with Tang San's personality and ambition, he could have definitely manipulated the Soul Beast race and even brought unprecedented help to the God Realm. After all, the God Realm is not as stable as you might think."
The Sea God: ...
At Jialing Pass, after a fierce battle between Yang Xiong and Tang San, Tang San looked extremely pathetic. Having destroyed nine Spirit Rings, although his Great Sumeru Hammer strike reached its peak, he ultimately suffered some backlash. Moreover, he was severely wounded by Yang Xiong's previous blow.
Yang Xiong's eyes showed a hint of disdain. "Tang San, you lost. You can now die in peace."
As Yang Xiong finished speaking, a massive palm print descended from the sky, as if to crush Tang San into pieces.
Even with Tang San's full effort, neither the Rakshasa Magic Scythe nor the Clear Sky Hammer could block Yang Xiong's attack.
At this moment, several figures suddenly appeared beside Tang San. They were the members of the Clear Sky Sect, along with Xiao Wu, Yu Xiaogang, and Flender. They looked as if they were going to protect Tang San with all their might. Yu Xiaogang, in particular, though appearing frail and aged like an ordinary person, still arrived beside Tang San, led by Flender.
"Seeking death!"
Yang Xiong merely snorted coldly, and a terrifying pressure bore down on everyone. Even Tang Xiao, the strongest among them, felt all of his Soul Power suppressed.
Tang Xiao, holding his Clear Sky Hammer, shouted, "Yang Xiong, you've already severely injured Xiao San. You've vented your anger. There's nothing that can't be discussed."
Yang Xiong chuckled. "This is quite interesting. Tang San wanted to kill me. Since he wanted to kill me, no one has the right to stop me from killing him. Besides, I don't even put the mere Clear Sky Sect in my eyes. Since you all wish to die, I'll send you to accompany him."
Tang Xiao said, "Yang Xiong, the Clear Sky Sect and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect have always been allies. The Clear Sky Sect has also protected the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. Otherwise, how could a support sect like yours have survived for ten thousand years?"
"Ning Fengzhi, are you really going to disregard the past friendship between our two great sects and insist on eradicating us?"
Ning Fengzhi, in the distance, appeared somewhat conflicted. As Tang Xiao said, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect was ultimately a support sect, rarely confronting enemies directly. Their relationship with the Clear Sky Sect was particularly close; otherwise, they wouldn't have continued to provide various forms of support in secret even after the Clear Sky Sect had gone into seclusion for so many years.
Not to mention that when the Clear Sky Sect once dominated the continent, no matter how overbearing they were, they never attacked the Upper Three Sects.
Before Ning Fengzhi could speak, Yang Xiong spoke first.
"I don't care about the Upper Three Sects or anything else. Anyone who dares to attack me will pay a heavy price. Tang Xiao, if you insist on becoming my enemy, your Clear Sky Sect cannot bear the consequences. At that time, there will be no need for your Clear Sky Sect to exist."
Seeing Yang Xiong's demeanor, Tang Xiao seemed to realize that the situation was difficult to resolve today. After all, Tang San had attacked Yang Xiong first, and given Yang Xiong's personality, he might even annihilate the entire Clear Sky Sect.
However, Tang Xiao looked at Tang San, his heart filled with inner turmoil. After all, Tang San was the only son of Tang Hao and Ah Yin, the junior he valued most, and even the future of the Clear Sky Sect.
"Yang Xiong, my Clear Sky Sect can pay any price, as long as you let Xiao San go."
Yang Xiong's lips twitched slightly. "Tang Xiao, ask yourself, if someone ambushed you, would you let them off easily? Do you think the Clear Sky Sect has anything worth me letting go of such a hidden danger, an enemy who could attack me at any moment?"
Tang Xiao suddenly felt immense pressure bearing down on him, and even his Clear Sky Hammer seemed to be completely suppressed.
Meanwhile, Tang San coughed up blood, supported only by Xiao Wu.
"Xiao Wu, hurry and leave. Don't worry about me. I'd rather die than grovel before Yang Xiong."
Xiao Wu's face was filled with tears, and she looked extremely frightened. "Yang Xiong, we were classmates after all. We had some friendship between us. Why must you go this far?"
"Don't forget, Da Ming and Er Ming helped you back then. Must you harm my only family member?"
Yang Xiong sneered. "Xiao Wu, are you perhaps mistaken about something? Although we sought your help back then, we were dealing with your enemy. This was something you should have done yourself, and instead, you made me owe you a favor. Isn't that putting the cart before the horse?"
"Besides, how many times have I helped you over the years? If it weren't for me, you would have died long ago, and even the Titan Giant Ape and the Sky Azure Bull Python would have died long ago. Do you still have the right to say such things now?"
Xiao Wu gritted her teeth. "But no matter what, brother San just wanted to prove himself. Can't you tolerate him?"
"Xiao Wu, is it me who can't tolerate Tang San, or is it Tang San who can't tolerate me? I advise you to leave quickly, or don't blame me for not showing mercy, or don't blame me for killing you too."
Yang Xiong's eyes were filled with ferocity, completely unlike his usual casual demeanor. It seemed as if no one could stop him.
Xiao Wu looked towards Ning Rongrong for help, but before Ning Rongrong could speak, Yang Xiong turned and glared at Ning Fengzhi.
Ning Fengzhi seemed to understand Yang Xiong's meaning and quickly pulled Ning Rongrong, who was about to step forward and speak.
Relatively speaking, Ning Rongrong was kind-hearted and cared about her classmate relationships, especially since she had a very good relationship with Xiao Wu. She was somewhat driven by emotion.
Ning Fengzhi understood the significance of the day's events even more clearly. If Yang Xiong were truly ambushed by Tang San, given Tang San's personality, he likely wouldn't spare the Body Sect Yang Xiong had created, and his methods would probably be even more ruthless.
Ning Rongrong finally spoke, "Little Xiongzi, don't hurt Xiao Wu."
Yang Xiong nodded slightly, "Xiao Wu, you should leave quickly, or I really won't show any mercy and will kill you."
Xiao Wu's face was filled with anger, "Da Ming and Er Ming are already dead. Only Xiao San can revive Da Ming and Er Ming. Moreover, Xiao San is my only family. If you want to harm Xiao San, you'll have to step over my dead body."
Yang Xiong let out a wild laugh, "Hahaha! Whether it's you or Tang San, why do you both say such things? This world has always respected strength. Enemies don't care about your corpse; they'll just crush you like an ant. Since you want to die, don't blame me."
Immediately after, Yang Xiong looked at Yu Xiaogang and Flender beside him, "What, do you two also want to get involved in this mess?"
Even though Yu Xiaogang was now a cripple, he still stood firmly beside Tang San.
"Yang Xiong, I know you're very angry, but Tang San is my only disciple. If you want to kill him, kill me first. I just hope you'll let Tang San go."
Yang Xiong completely ignored Yu Xiaogang and instead looked at Flender, "Dean Flender, do you also want to interfere in this matter?"
Compared to the others, Flender appeared calmer, "Yang Xiong, you and Xiao San are both former students of our Shrek, and the most outstanding students in Shrek's history. It's normal for students to fight, but I don't want you to truly fight to the death. I would be very sad if either of you died, and I would have to stand with the losing side."
Yang Xiong couldn't help but shake his head, "Dean Flender, you should be very clear about the current situation. Tang San and I are mortal enemies. If you insist on interfering, then don't blame me for being impolite."
Yang Xiong had spent several years at Shrek Academy. During those years, his closest relationship was with Zhao Wuji, but the person he truly admired the most was Flender.
Flender could be considered a businessman, even a shrewd one, but comparatively, he was indeed a good dean and a good teacher. At least in terms of educating students, he was quite dedicated, and at critical moments, he would truly fight desperately.
Flender sighed, "Why must you two be like this? You and Tang San have both reached unprecedented heights as Soul Masters and can become gods. Can't you coexist peacefully? Can't you go to the God Realm together? Perhaps you could look out for each other."
"I truly don't want to see you kill each other. No matter who loses, it will be difficult for me."
Yang Xiong no longer cared. His soul power flashed, and a colossal blood-red hand appeared in the sky, said to be flashing with blood-red lightning, as if intending to kill everyone with one blow.
Everyone was instantly shocked. Even Ning Fengzhi in the distance showed a hint of reluctance in his eyes. If Yang Xiong truly unleashed this move, it was likely that not only would the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect and the Clear Sky Sect become mortal enemies, but given Yang Xiong's personality, none of the Clear Sky Sect members present would escape.
Although Yang Xiong's move appeared world-shattering and could even lock onto enemies with its immense pressure, it only truly locked onto Tang San. While others felt great pressure, they could still escape using their own strength.
Tang San's eyes were filled with hatred, but he also showed a trace of worry, "Xiao Wu, Uncle, Master, hurry and leave. Yang Xiong just wants to deal with me alone, you still have a chance."
Following that, Tang San, with his strengthened body, summoned the Clear Sky Hammer and the Rakshasa Magic Scythe, appearing to fight to the death.
Yang Xiong felt that Tang San seemed a bit crazy. This might be the Rakshasa God's position amplifying Tang San's inherent evil attributes. After all, the original Tang San, while exasperating, was at least upright and honorable in front of everyone, completely unlike his current cunning demeanor.
Yang Xiong struck down. Even with Tang San and Tang Xiao using all their strength, they couldn't block Yang Xiong's attack.
Just then, a black aura suddenly appeared in the sky, directly charging towards Yang Xiong's large hand. No matter how powerful Yang Xiong was, his attack was instantly dispersed.
Yang Xiong glanced at the sky, showing a hint of confusion, "Senior Evil God King, I didn't expect that you, a dignified God King of the God Realm, would interfere in Douluo Star's affairs."
A massive black figure suddenly appeared in the sky. This figure looked extremely tall and ethereal, as if its power had long surpassed its limits.
The black figure transformed into a giant face, a face that seemed devoid of any emotion, filled with disdain for life.
"Yang Xiong, although you are the inheritor of the Asura God, you are not yet a god. Tang San has already become a god, and is now my subordinate, the Rakshasa God. I cannot let you kill him so easily."
Yang Xiong looked sternly at the Evil God King, "Evil God King, if I remember correctly, the God Realm should not interfere in the affairs of the Douluo World. Could it be that Your Excellency the Evil God King intends to violate the rules of the God Realm?"
The Evil God King said, "This matter concerns the inheritance of my subordinate, the Rakshasa God, and also relates to some of our God Realm's plans. Therefore, you cannot kill Tang San now."
Yang Xiong sneered, "This is quite interesting. When Tang San ambushed me, or when the three gods attacked me together, why didn't anyone from the God Realm come to protect me? Now that I want to kill my enemy, can this kind of preferential treatment still be accepted?"
"Furthermore, Evil God King, as an Enforcer of the God Realm, aren't you setting an example by violating the God Realm's rules? What does that make the identity of God Realm Enforcement?"
The Evil God King's originally calm eyes seemed to show a hint of anger, "Audacious! Yang Xiong, although your strength is not bad, you are merely an inheritor of the Asura God. Even the Asura God has no right to stop me from disciplining my subordinates."
Yang Xiong's expression was serious, and he appeared incredibly defiant, "Evil God King, you are a supreme and unparalleled existence. Why are you still interfering in this trivial matter of our Douluo World? Aren't you afraid of losing face?"
The Evil God King said, "Yang Xiong, do you understand that the rules of this world are made by the strong? You are still too weak compared to me. The weak have no right to speak."
Yang Xiong refused to back down, "So what? The rules have already been set. Do you, Evil God King, want to break them? Do you want to bypass the rules and do your own thing?"
"Besides, I haven't become a god yet. I'm still just a Soul Master in the Douluo World. You don't need to worry about these matters, Evil God King."
After speaking, Yang Xiong's hand transformed, and a blood-red hammer appeared, surrounded by blood-red lightning. This was the Thunder God's Hammer.
As soon as the Thunder God's Hammer appeared, the heavens and the earth of the entire Douluo World seemed to change instantly. The rules of the entire world seemed to tremble.
The Evil God King's expression changed. He didn't expect Yang Xiong to dare to openly reject his decision and even dare to act so brazenly, showing utter contempt for him.
If Yang Xiong dared to act this way now, when he truly became stronger in the future, the entire God Realm would likely be turned upside down by him.
Just as the Evil God King was about to make another move, a blood-red figure appeared in the sky again. This figure was very similar to Yang Xiong's martial soul – it was the Asura God.
"Evil, you have already violated the rules of the God Realm. Do you really think the three Enforcers of our God Realm are just decorations?"
The Evil God King said, "Asura, you dare to interfere with my actions. Tang San was jointly decided by our God Realm Committee. He cannot die easily, at least not here."
Asura God said, "Evil, we have considered too much in the past. Perhaps sometimes we should be more direct and brutal. Besides, don't forget that we are here to uphold the rules of the God Realm. Any god who violates the rules will be punished by me."
Seeing the Asura God appear, Yang Xiong completely ignored the Evil God King and, holding the Thunder God's Hammer, unleashed a full-power strike. In that instant, heaven and earth directly collapsed, the rules of the Douluo World seemed to be damaged, and the entire space seemed to be impacted.
Tang San let out a long roar to the sky. This time, he actually summoned the Dark Blue Silver Grass. The nine soul rings on the Dark Blue Silver Grass exploded simultaneously, and the entire Dark Blue Silver Grass transformed into golden threads, forming a vast, all-encompassing net that pounced directly at Yang Xiong.
Especially since Tang San's remaining soul power had been injected into the Rakshasa Magic Scythe. The Rakshasa Magic Scythe was the core of all the Devouring Gold Threads, imbuing the Devouring Gold Threads with not only terrifying devouring capabilities but also extreme evil attributes. The surrounding environment seemed to be affected, and all energy was devoured by the net formed by the Devouring Gold Threads, even the energy in the air was completely consumed.
This was Tang San's final, desperate attack, his last act of defiance.
"Yang Xiong, the Evil God King has already appeared, and you still dare to attack? Even if I die, I'll take you with me."
But Yang Xiong paid no heed. The Thunder God's Hammer possessed extreme destructive power, representing the rules and order of this world. It had absolute crushing power against both ordinary Soul Masters and deities.
With a blood-red giant hammer striking down, Tang San's Devouring Gold Threads instantly turned to ash, and the Rakshasa Magic Scythe was directly sent flying.
Even though Tang San was filled with unwillingness, and even though Tang San's consumption had reached its limit at this moment, he was ultimately unable to contend with Yang Xiong.
Under Yang Xiong's full-power strike, the Thunder God's Hammer heavily impacted Tang San. No matter how robust Tang San's body was, or how varied his techniques, he was now directly subjected to countless lightning attacks, and it was as if he was being rejected by the rules of the entire world.
Tang San lost consciousness completely, directly pulverized by the Thunder God's Hammer and the Power of Rules on it. Even the Rakshasa Magic Scythe showed a slight crack.
When the sky finally returned to calm, only a black scythe, seemingly heavily damaged, remained. Even Xiao Wu and Yu Xiaogang, who were originally by Tang San's side, were now completely stunned.
Even though Tang San had become a god, no matter how powerful he was, he was instantly reduced to ash by Yang Xiong's single strike. The new Rakshasa God had directly fallen on the Douluo Continent.
