Chapter 228: Tang San Becomes a Slave to Slaughter, the Asura God's Disappointment
Upon seeing Tang San, Tang Xiao could not help but ask.
Especially after learning that Tang San had earned one hundred consecutive victories in the Hell Slaughter Arena to meet him.
According to the plan between him and Tang Hao, Tang Hao should have brought Tang San to meet him, after which they would see whether Tang San could inherit the Asura God's divine position.
But now,
Tang San had arrived alone, while Tang Hao was nowhere to be seen.
This caused Tang Xiao to begin wondering whether something had happened to his younger brother Tang Hao.
Hearing Tang Xiao's question,
Tang San's eyes turned bloodshot as tears streamed down his face.
"Uncle, Father... he has most likely fallen."
"Not long ago, experts from Spirit Hall came after us. Father was severely injured. To cover my escape, Father chose to stay behind and hold them off."
"If nothing unexpected happened, Father should have died at the hands of Spirit Hall's experts."
"As for Aunt, she should now be living peacefully in Holy Soul Village as an ordinary village woman."
Tang San explained Tang Hao's and Tang Yuehua's current circumstances to Tang Xiao.
Whenever he thought about Tang Hao's death, Tang San felt as though knives were twisting in his heart.
In this life, he had finally experienced the warmth of family.
Yet that damned Spirit Hall had not only killed his mother but had even killed his only father.
One day, he would make Spirit Hall pay a terrible price.
"Hao... is dead?"
After learning the truth, Tang Xiao's tall and sturdy body nearly collapsed onto the ground.
Tears also flowed from the corners of his eyes. Another one of his closest family members had left this world.
However, regarding his younger sister Tang Yuehua's situation, Tang Xiao was rather pleased.
He did not want Tang Yuehua to become involved in their revenge against Spirit Hall. Letting her quietly live in Holy Soul Village as an ordinary village woman was a good choice.
Once they had successfully taken revenge on Spirit Hall and no longer faced the threat of death,
Tang Yuehua would once again become the little princess of the Clear Sky Sect.
Only after quite some time did Tang Xiao wipe away the tears on his face.
Things had already come to this. All he could do was accept reality. The most important thing now was to properly nurture Tang San.
"Xiao San, we will avenge your father's death in the future."
"For now, Uncle will open Hell Road. As long as you pass through it, you will obtain the Death God Domain bestowed by the god."
"After that, Uncle will take you to receive Lord Asura God's trial. If you pass it, you will obtain Lord Asura God's inheritance."
Tang Xiao explained the plans he had prepared for Tang San.
Hearing this, Tang San interrupted him.
"Uncle, actually, I've already obtained Lord Asura God's inheritance."
"Hmm? Xiao San, what did you say?!"
Tang Xiao was shocked.
How had Tang San obtained Lord Asura God's inheritance?
"Uncle, here's what happened. The moment I entered Slaughter City, Lord Asura God had already bestowed a trial upon me."
"Now, I have already received the Asura God's Nine Trials. The content of the first trial is to achieve one hundred consecutive victories in the Hell Slaughter Arena and obtain the Death God Domain."
After saying that,
Tang San's thoughts stirred, and the blood-red Asura God's trial mark appeared upon his forehead.
Seeing this scene, Tang Xiao sucked in a cold breath.
He had never imagined Tang San's talent would be this extraordinary.
Merely by entering Slaughter City, he had earned Lord Asura God's favor.
If that was the case, then they truly had hope of taking revenge on Spirit Hall and the Atlas God.
"Good, Xiao San. You truly are the qilin of our Tang family."
"In that case, entering Hell Road and obtaining the Death God Domain is even more urgent."
"Come with Uncle. I'll open Hell Road for you immediately so you can complete the first trial set by Lord Asura God."
Tang Xiao's voice was filled with excitement.
Afterward, Tang Xiao led Tang San to the entrance of Hell Road.
Using the blood of countless dead souls beneath the earth as the medium, he opened the passage leading to Hell Road.
"Xiao San, this is the Hell Road of Slaughter City."
"As long as you make it through, you will obtain the Death God Domain."
"Originally, Uncle planned to wait until your strength was sufficient before having your father bring you here to obtain the Death God Domain."
"But now that you have already received Lord Asura God's divine trial, you only need to pass the trial of your inner demons."
"You no longer need to undergo the first two trials. This is the privilege of being a god's inheritor."
Tang Xiao explained to Tang San.
Ordinarily, traversing Hell Road required passing three trials.
The first trial: the Dark Gold Three-Headed Bat King.
The second trial: the Primordial Exotic Beast, the Ten-Headed Fierce Yang Serpent.
The third trial: the trial of inner demons.
But Tang San was a god's inheritor, naturally making him different and granting him all kinds of privileges.
One could say that the current Tang San was the true master of Slaughter City.
Slaughter City was the inheritance ground left by the Asura God on the Douluo Continent.
As the inheritor, Tang San naturally possessed ownership over all of Slaughter City.
"I understand, Uncle."
"I will definitely pass the trial of my inner demons, obtain the Death God Domain, and complete my first Asura God trial."
Tang San stared resolutely at the Hell Road passage before him.
Immediately afterward, without the slightest hesitation, he stepped directly into Hell Road.
Because of the Asura God's trial mark on his forehead, the Dark Gold Three-Headed Bat King and the Ten-Headed Fierce Yang Serpent within Hell Road avoided Tang San entirely.
As time passed,
When Tang San reached the deepest part of Hell Road, endless killing intent poured into his body as countless slaughter illusions assaulted his mind.
Under the influence of that killing intent, Tang San's eyes gradually turned crimson, his breathing became heavy, and the expression on his face slowly twisted.
"Ahhh! Damned Spirit Hall, I'll destroy all of you!"
Within the illusion, consumed by hatred, Tang San gradually lost himself.
God Realm, Asura God's Temple.
Through the divine trial mark, the Asura God sensed the situation and slightly frowned.
He had never expected Tang San to become a slave to slaughter.
At the same time, a sense of disappointment toward Tang San inevitably arose in his heart.
"Forget it. We've already come this far. Even if he's useless, I still have to support him."
The Asura God let out a sigh.
Then, through the divine trial mark, he forcibly protected Tang San's consciousness, isolating his mind from the erosion of killing intent.
With the Asura God's help, Tang San quickly regained his sanity.
The instant his sanity returned, the immense killing intent within Tang San's body continuously compressed, condensed, and solidified, forming the origin of his exclusive domain.
The Death God Domain awakened!
"I succeeded! I've obtained the Death God Domain!"
Feeling the Death God Domain within his body, Tang San could not wait to release it and personally experience its power.
As the Death God Domain spread outward, a blood-red aura expanded in every direction, enveloping an area dozens of meters wide.
After conducting several tests, Tang San also came to understand the effects of the Death God Domain.
First, while within the Death God Domain, all attributes were enhanced, greatly increasing strength, speed, and explosive power.
Second, it could suppress an enemy's soul power over a wide area, weakening the opponent's attack and defense.
Third, it carried an inherent killing intent capable of intimidating opponents whose spiritual power was weaker than his.
