Chapter 99 Poseidon's Disdain: Serves Him Right!
Tang Chen recovered to his peak, wielding the Asura Sword, a level 99 Quasi-God!
"Squeak squeak squeak—!!"
The blood-red nine-headed bat king's soul, which had parasitized Tang Chen for decades and fought with him for control of his body for just as long, let out an extremely shrill scream.
Under the crushing force of the Asura God's power, it had no power to resist at all and was instantly refined into an incomparably pure soul energy.
"Refine!"
The Asura God's thought controlled this energy, feeding it back into Tang Chen's broken soul.
At the same time, the Asura Demon Sword continuously poured out pure Asura God's power, frantically repairing Tang Chen's body, which had long been eroded by toxins and the passage of time.
Meridians were restored, bones regenerated, and hidden injuries were healed!
Outside.
The King of Slaughter... no, the hideous bone spikes on Tang Chen's body began to fall off, and the disgusting bat wings on his back turned to ashes and dissipated.
Tang Chen's originally hunched body gradually straightened, and his aged face became younger.
Though still weathered and worn, the wretched and evil aura had vanished.
In its place lay an overwhelming, domineering presence, a force that seemed to reign supreme!
A moment later, deep underground, the red light slowly receded.
Tang Chen, holding the Asura Demon Sword, slowly opened his eyes.
Those eyes were no longer clouded; only endless coldness and killing intent remained, along with an unyielding sorrow deep within.
Tang Chen felt the surging power within him, a power several times stronger than in his prime, yet he felt no joy.
Tang Chen raised his head, his gaze seemingly piercing through thick layers of rock, looking at the celestial canopy above, at the man wielding the Annihilation Dragon Halberd.
Two lines of bloody tears slid down Tang Chen's resolute face.
"Wei Tianchen..."
Tang Chen's voice was hoarse, each word seemingly squeezed out from between his teeth, filled with a hatred as if he were chewing bones:
"Even if your Wei family is full of powerful experts, even if you possess this super artifact..."
"The hatred for killing my wife is irreconcilable!"
"I, Tang Chen, will kill you!!!"
Tang Chen had already understood Poseidon's intentions during the previous exposure of the celestial canopy.
Boom—!!!
A deafening explosion seemed to tear the world apart.
The thousand-foot-long, purplish-black halberd of the Annihilation Dragon Halberd, carrying an invincible will to destroy, struck Poseidon's tiny body without any flourish.
No miracle occurred.
In the God Realm, the Sea God, imprisoned in the Sea God's Temple, looked at the celestial canopy before him and couldn't help but sigh slightly.
"Alas!"
Poseidon never expected that the descendants of the Wei family could develop to this extent after twenty thousand years!
"If I had known this would happen, I would have crossed the sea to the Sun and Moon Continent immediately after becoming a god and exterminated all of Wei Yuan's descendants," Poseidon muttered to himself.
But Poseidon wasn't particularly disheartened.
Because Poseidon believed that Poseidon had betrayed him.
Merely because this so-called celestial canopy exposed some 'unexplained' content, Poseidon had actually abandoned her faith!
"If I weren't currently unable to leave the (Sea) God's Temple, I would have killed her even without Wei Tianchen," Poseidon scoffed disdainfully.
"She eats my food, yet betrays me; how pathetic!"
Outside the tavern.
Faced with this attack powerful enough to kill a priest, Poseidon, having lost the protection of the Sea God's power and already severely injured, was like a withered leaf in a storm, instantly swallowed by the terrifying torrent of energy.
The Sea God Douluo, once a force to be reckoned with on the seas, worshipped by countless Sea Soul Masters, couldn't even utter a scream.
His body disintegrated inch by inch in the destructive purple light, turning into a cloud of blood mist.
Then, he was completely evaporated by the domineering power of annihilation, leaving not even a trace.
"Hmph."
Wei Tianchen sheathed his halberd, his expression indifferent, as if he had merely crushed an insignificant ant.
Meanwhile, deep underground...
At this moment, Tang Chen's cultivation had already reached the peak of the 99th level Limit Douluo.
With the help of the Asura Divine Sense, his body not only recovered to its prime in his youth, but also underwent a baptism of divine power, undergoing a complete transformation.
Coupled with the Asura Demon Sword he tightly gripped, Tang Chen had now returned to his peak, even surpassing it, reaching the Quasi-God realm!
In terms of raw strength, Tang Chen, personally empowered by the Asura Divine Sense and wielding a super divine artifact, was even slightly stronger than Wei Tianchen, who had only reached the threshold of Quasi-God through his own power!
Of course, this was only slightly stronger.
Unfortunately, there are no "what ifs" in this world.
Just as Poseidon's physical body perished, a faint, dark blue light slowly drifted out from the lingering aftershocks of energy.
It was a wisp of Poseidon's remaining divine soul.
At her level, even if the physical body was destroyed, the soul could linger in the world for a short time.
Originally, this remnant soul should have been filled with resentment and unwillingness.
But at this moment, the ethereal blue figure didn't look at Wei Tianchen, who had killed her. Instead, as if sensing something, it lowered its head blankly, gazing at the ground beneath the ruins.
Just a moment ago, deep beneath the collapsed tavern, a familiar aura that sent shivers down her spine surged into the sky.
Then, a blindingly crimson light, yet one that felt incredibly warm to her, pierced through the thick layer of earth, illuminating her gradually blurring vision.
That domineering killing intent… even across the divide of life and death, she wouldn't mistake it.
The despair and fear in Poseidon's ethereal eyes vanished instantly, replaced by an indescribable realization and a profound, bone-deep desolation.
Looking at the crimson light emanating from the ground, Poseidon's lips slowly curved into a bitterly beautiful smile.
"Tang Chen..."
"So...you were here!"
So, the man she had longed for, the man she had waited for her entire life, was actually in this city of slaughter, right at the foot of this tavern!
Just moments ago, the only thing separating them was a thick layer of mud.
If only she had taken one more step... if only she could have walked into that entrance alive...
"Just one more step..."
Poseidon murmured, her voice as soft as the wind, yet filled with endless sorrow.
"Just one more step, and I would have seen you..."
So close, yet so far.
Is this fate?
How cruel, how laughable.
"Tang Chen...if there is an afterlife..."
Poseidon's heart was filled with endless regret and helplessness, but seeing the soaring red light, feeling the overwhelming rage erupting for her sake, the last trace of coldness in her heart melted away.
At least, he still cares about me.
At least, I know where he is.
Now, everything is set in stone, even she, a peerless Douluo, is powerless to change it.
Poseidon gazed deeply at the crimson figure, as if trying to etch this final lingering affection into the depths of her soul.
Then, she slowly closed her beautiful eyes.
"Buzz—"
A gentle breeze swept by.
The illusory blue figure, ultimately unable to withstand the erosion of the laws of heaven and earth, transformed into countless crystalline blue specks of light amidst the purple-gold afterglow.
These specks of light did not scatter; instead, as if drawn by some force, they drifted lingeringly towards the direction from which the red light surged from the earth, seemingly wanting to touch that person's face in their final moments.
However, in mid-air, the specks of light ultimately vanished completely, returning to nothingness.
The legendary Sea God Douluo, Poseidon, had fallen!
Meanwhile, deep underground.
"No—!!!!"
A heart-wrenching roar, like the mournful cry of a cuckoo, carrying terrifying killing intent, shattered the dome of the City of Slaughter!
