At this moment, the Slaughter City was filled with golden clouds. The power of the Dao revealed as the investiture of the gods list slowly unfurled was extremely shocking.
Tang Chen frowned. He gripped the Asura God Sword and threw it forward with all his might, wanting to completely destroy the investiture of the gods list.
However, it was all in vain. The investiture of the gods list merely shook a couple of times and was able to crush that broken sword, even causing cracks to appear on its blade.
"Impossible! I am the Asura God. How can this piece of junk withstand me?"
As Tang Chen spoke, he forced the token into his chest, right in front of his heart. It then fused with his flesh and blood, allowing him to forcibly obtain the Asura God Position.
Immediately, malevolent energy overflowed from his body. The blood-colored patterns etched all over him gradually turned black, and his hair turned grayish-white, bearing a striking resemblance to the original Asura God.
He then glared fiercely at Chu Feng and said, "It seems your little toy is useless. I have become a god regardless."
"You might have misunderstood. This is the investiture of the gods list, specifically used for conferring godhood. I also wanted you to see that conferring godhood is actually a simple and casual matter."
Chu Feng gave a light wave of his hand, and the investiture of the gods list rolled up and charged into the crowd, carrying a profound Immortal Power.
Zhu Zhuqing hadn't realized that she was the target of the list; she was still slaughtering everyone in the coalition army.
Zhu Zhuyun, on the other hand, noticed it. She shouted, "What is that?"
Because Ah Yin had experienced the god conferment not long ago, she understood perfectly. She said with a smile, "God Conferment!"
"Me?"
Zhu Zhuqing realized it belatedly. At this moment, a halo of light had already begun to rotate beneath her feet, slowly lifting her into the air as colorful mists surrounded her.
Seeing this, Tang Chen said indignantly, "What kind of tricks are you playing now?"
"If I can slay a god, I can naturally confer godhood. Since you don't believe the original Asura God died at my hands, I'll let you see exactly how I confer godhood."
Chu Feng's face was full of bravado. He was very confident; after all, he had already considered everything before acting.
According to what the system said, conferring godhood required a God Conferment Trial, but Zhu Zhuqing didn't need one because she had caught a lucky break.
Because the system had upgraded itself to version 2.0, the original god conferment settings had been updated as well. For the time being, the system couldn't complete the fusion of the two versions.
So currently, there was no such thing as a God Conferment Trial; it skipped directly to the final step, which was the path to godhood.
But for Zhu Zhuqing, this was too unexpected. She hadn't even accepted Chu Feng himself, much less his favors.
Furthermore, the investiture of the gods list conveyed the three major principles after becoming a god to her. When Zhu Zhuqing thought about how she might establish a deeper relationship with Chu Feng in the future, she became even more hesitant.
However, Tang Chen wasn't going to give her or Chu Feng much time to think, because he didn't believe for a second that such an absurd thing as becoming a god on the spot could happen.
Tang Chen roared, "You say confer godhood and it happens? Who do you think you are?"
As he spoke, he thrust his sword toward Chu Feng. But the influence of the di-earth flame light banner was still there; even with his Asura God Power, he only managed to make his movements a bit more agile.
Chu Feng handled his attacks with ease, and through the fluctuations of divine force, he spoke into Zhu Zhuqing's ear.
"Accept the conferment, and you can become a god. This is an opportunity not to be missed. It will be much more difficult if you want to become a god later."
Chu Feng was certainly sincere, and Zhu Zhuqing couldn't fail to hear that, but what she was conflicted about was the future.
At this moment, the investiture of the gods list unfurled again. The names of the first four conferred gods stood prominently upon it, their golden glow making Zhu Zhuqing's heart stir.
"Xiao Wu? Ah Yin? They're both on it, but Ah Yin hasn't shown any divine signs."
Zhu Zhuqing spoke at just the right time, and then she saw Ah Yin manifest the form of the God of Order.
It's real? Zhu Zhuqing looked shocked; she had been proven wrong incredibly fast.
Chu Feng said anxiously, "Hurry and accept the godhood, otherwise none of us will be able to escape."
Zhu Zhuqing was still slightly hesitant, but as Tang Chen charged over, she could no longer overthink.
Immediately after, she cautiously stepped onto the path to godhood. It was a stone staircase of only about ten steps, leading toward a small patch of deep night sky.
She was certain it was the night, not a black mist or a black hole. It was a small patch of night that looked as if it had been cut out from the real sky.
It perfectly blocked the firmament where the red moon was rising and dispersed most of the surrounding slaughtering aura, as a unique divine force burst forth from within it.
Tang Chen's Asura God Sword had already touched the boundary of the night. Just as he was about to gloat, the night erupted with a powerful light wave that knocked him back.
Tang Chen was instantly heavily injured. His hard-won God Position already showed faint signs of damage.
Tang Chen was astonished: "Impossible, how can there be the power of a god?"
"A god?"
Zhu Zhuqing was also confused, but her body had unconsciously sunk into the night. She was completely accepted by the darkness.
She felt a bit lost and wanted to swim back out, but since she had made her choice, there was no way to revoke it. The night swallowed her whole.
Zhu Zhuyun was fighting on the ground, but she stopped now to watch this scene. She actually felt a bit of worry; after all, she was the older sister.
Ah Yin, on the other hand, was full of blessings. She hoped Zhu Zhuqing could obtain a decent God Position because she felt this young girl was quite alright.
On the other side, Xing Tian and Chi You were also extremely exhausted from fighting. They were leaning against two nearby mountains, ready to retreat, but that patch of night made them perk up again.
Tang Chen clutched his left shoulder with his right hand, his body swaying. He said unwillingly, "What god could possibly suppress my Asura?"
Chu Feng replied calmly, "The night. The profound night, the vast night, which drapes a black veil over the living beings of the world yet grants them new life. This is the Goddess of the Night!"
Suddenly, that patch of night expanded its range, completely covering the red sky of the Slaughter City.
The di-earth flame light banner also stopped moving. The coalition soldiers fell to the ground in terror, showing sufficient respect for this patch of night.
Then, a small gap opened in the night, and a beam of white brilliance flowed out. It then closed back up, triggering a layer of explosion.
Following that, a valiant figure in a black cloak sprinted down from the firmament at high speed. That was Zhu Zhuqing's divine form.
Ah Yin took the opportunity to join Zhu Zhuqing from the side, her form as the God of Order also fully displayed.
With the two goddesses standing tall, the clamor of the Slaughter City immediately quieted down significantly.
Tang Chen's legs instantly went weak. Of all people to provoke, he had provoked two deities, and their divine force was comparable to his—one could even say much superior.
And according to what Chu Feng said, both of these gods were conferred by him. Then how powerful must Chu Feng himself be?
Tang Chen didn't even dare to think about it. He abandoned the Asura God Sword once again; he didn't even have the courage to hold it. This time, he was truly afraid.
But there was no surrendering in the rules of the Slaughter City, only life or death. As the Slaughter King, Tang Chen had to follow the rules even more strictly.
If he wanted to violate them, then someone else would have to give him a push.
Aowu~
Suddenly, a dragon's roar echoed throughout the entire Slaughter City.
