"Fine, I'll get lost right away." The God of Evil stood up with a sly smile and pulled his wife into his arms.
Just before his divine sense faded, the God of Evil looked back and said, "Even though that Jiang Chen is the one you chose, when it's your turn on duty, don't secretly go easy on him. If anything happens, contact us immediately."
"Just get lost already." The Asura God lifted his foot and kicked toward the God of Evil's backside.
"Hehe, enjoy your beautiful time alone together. You'll never get to experience this, Asura." The God of Evil's figure vanished before the Asura God's foot could reach him, leaving only a string of triumphant laughter.
The Asura God pursed his lips, turned his head, and looked toward the two figures locked in close combat, pondering how he could protect Jiang Chen.
The God of Evil was right, rules were meant to bind the weak. He had to be on guard against the God of Destruction.
...
On the Douluo Continent, atop that stretch of continuous small hills, Jiang Chen and Bibi Dong were engaged in intense combat.
The clothes Jiang Chen had just put on were already tattered and torn, some corroded by Bibi Dong's venom, others ripped by her spider legs.
After the initial probing attacks, Bibi Dong finally experienced Jiang Chen's abnormal defensive power. She gradually stopped holding back and unleashed increasingly fierce spirit skills.
At this moment, she was in her second martial soul state.
A dark-green spiderweb pattern marked her smooth forehead. Three pairs of spider legs extended from her back. Both her arms had transformed into dark-green long spears, and her lower body was wrapped in a layer of dark-green light that obscured what lay beneath.
At this moment, Bibi Dong had transformed into an exquisitely beautiful yet bewitching spider spirit.
She raised her two emerald-green arms and crossed them, sending out a green energy ripple that shot toward Jiang Chen.
"This is one of my most overbearing single-target attack abilities, Eternal Creation." Even as she released the skill, she issued a warning.
Jiang Chen neither dodged nor evaded. The main reason he was sparring with Bibi Dong was to experience whether he could withstand her attacks.
As for testing his own offensive power, that could wait until later.
Previously, he had already crushed many of Bibi Dong's methods, spiderweb binding, virulent poison attacks, summoning demonic spiders, and more.
Watching Bibi Dong's Eternal Creation slash toward him, he swung his fist. Amid flashing thunderous light and carrying terrifying power, he met Bibi Dong's attack head-on with his bare fist.
The instant they collided, a violent surge of energy erupted. Jiang Chen's upper garment was instantly shredded by the torrent of energy.
The skin on his fist split open. Half-red, half-golden blood seeped out. Through the cracks in his skin, faintly golden bones could be seen.
Under the writhing of flesh and blood, the wounds healed at a rapid pace.
After enduring the heavenly tribulation, his zombie cultivation had smoothly advanced to the eighth rank. His defensive power had once again received a terrifying boost.
His strength and speed had also become even more fearsome.
"Little Chen, your blood and bones…" Bibi Dong asked in astonishment.
"Teacher, this is called Indestructible Vajra." Jiang Chen grinned, his footsteps never stopping as he continued pressing toward Bibi Dong.
"Teacher, now it's my turn to attack." He directly activated his Martial Soul True Body. His body expanded, his hair turned blood-red, and all his attributes received an enormous boost.
The all-around attribute enhancement brought by a five-hundred-thousand-year spirit skill was absolutely terrifying.
Jiang Chen grinned ferociously and stepped out with a strange footwork. It was not teleportation, yet it was as if he were teleporting as he closed in on Bibi Dong.
Bibi Dong's expression grew solemn. This disciple of hers had far exceeded her expectations.
Her Death Domain, Killing God Domain, and Rakshasa Domain were largely neutralized by Jiang Chen's Killing God Domain and Zombie Domain, unable to exert much effect.
The Death Domain contained terrifying virulent poison, yet it did not affect Jiang Chen.
At this moment, Jiang Chen had only released his Martial Soul True Body and seemed to have no intention of using any other spirit skills.
Yet Bibi Dong treated him as a formidable enemy.
This was the first time she had exchanged blows with Jiang Chen. If she lost, she would completely lose face as his teacher.
Bibi Dong's two spear-like arms swung, sending out energy blades carrying terrifying fluctuations that shot toward Jiang Chen.
Jiang Chen was only a few meters away from Bibi Dong and no longer bothered to dodge. His fists hammered out in succession.
Ignoring the way his fists were torn open and bleeding, he closed the distance in just a few steps and arrived right in front of Bibi Dong.
Golden bones were exposed outside his fists, still wreathed in electric light, as he smashed toward Bibi Dong's chest.
Bibi Dong crossed her spears in front of her chest. A sound like metal clashing rang out.
Immediately after came a storm of fists. Jiang Chen's dual fists struck out rapidly. The terrifying attack speed and immense force left Bibi Dong with absolutely no room to counterattack.
She wanted to retreat and escape Jiang Chen's astonishingly frequent attacks. With a flap of her wings, her body drifted backward.
Yet Jiang Chen's speed at this moment was not inferior to hers in the slightest. His fists continued to smash against the crossed spears in front of Bibi Dong's chest.
In merely an instant, he had attacked hundreds of times.
Crack… crack…
Bibi Dong's two spears were incomparably sharp, yet at this moment they failed to display their proper offensive power and were forcibly cracked open by Jiang Chen's blows.
Jiang Chen laughed once. His eighth spirit ring lit up instantly. Bibi Dong's retreating body suddenly crashed into a sunken groove.
Originally, her backward flight had been extremely fast. Combined with the enormous force from Jiang Chen's fists striking her, the sudden collision with the stone coffin that had appeared caused her aura to surge chaotically and left her dizzy.
Jiang Chen chuckled darkly, grabbed the coffin lid beside him with one hand, and directly sealed it shut.
A moment later, he sat atop the heavy stone coffin and revealed a triumphant smile.
The stone coffin continuously trembled. Bibi Dong's voice came from inside: "You little brat, let me out at once."
Jiang Chen patted the stone coffin beneath him and said, "Teacher, please use your strongest attack. Help me test just how strong this stone coffin's defensive power is."
Bibi Dong fell silent. Jiang Chen lowered his head to look inside and saw that Bibi Dong's still-unbroken spear was forcefully stabbing at the coffin wall, producing a series of ding-ding-ding sounds.
A moment later, Bibi Dong helplessly gave up on the idea of piercing the stone coffin and began using venom spirit skills.
She did not dare use overly powerful assault spirit skills. If she still failed to shatter the stone coffin, the backlash would definitely injure her.
Her face was dark and she remained completely silent, thoroughly provoked by Jiang Chen.
Not only had she been beaten by Jiang Chen with no chance to fight back just now, but she was now also trapped inside this damned coffin. If she still could not get out, how could she retain any dignity in front of this disciple in the future?
The highly corrosive venom landed on the inner walls of the coffin and immediately produced sizzling sounds.
However, the stone coffin's corrosion resistance was extremely strong. The venom only corroded a small portion.
Large quantities of venom produced by the spirit skill fell. In the narrow space, Bibi Dong had nowhere to dodge. Large sections of her clothing were instantly corroded and dissolved.
This virulent poison that would be fatally lethal to others landed on her smooth skin without causing the slightest harm, sliding down both sides of her body without any resistance.
Jiang Chen's body abruptly trembled. He quickly raised his head. His third spirit ring had already lit up, and he instantly appeared a thousand meters away, not daring to look back.
From within the stone coffin, Bibi Dong's panicked voice rang out: "Don't open the coffin lid."
There was no response.
"Little Chen?" Bibi Dong called out. Still no response.
This stone coffin was extremely strange. Her spiritual power was completely blocked inside and could not penetrate outside.
She gently pushed and discovered that the lid could move.
A heavy scraping sound rang out. Bibi Dong pushed open a gap and stuck her head out.
She looked around in confusion, but there was no sign of Jiang Chen anywhere.
Bibi Dong was both angry and anxious. This disciple who did not know the proper boundaries was truly audacious to the extreme, he actually dared to seal his teacher inside a coffin.
And it had caused all her clothes to be destroyed.
She was so angry her hair nearly stood on end. Being toyed with like this by her disciple, she only wanted to twist Jiang Chen's ears off.
But immediately afterward, a shock ran through her heart. Why had Jiang Chen left so strangely and suddenly?
Could it be that he felt guilty?
She understood Jiang Chen's personality. Under normal circumstances, he would have released her and then sincerely admitted his mistake and accepted punishment.
But now he had fled directly, this completely matched Jiang Chen's behavior when he had done something he felt guilty about.
A terrifying thought flashed through Bibi Dong's mind: "Could it be… that he can sense the situation inside the coffin?"
This stone coffin was formed from Jiang Chen's spirit skill. It was not impossible that Jiang Chen could sense what was happening inside.
At this thought, Bibi Dong's face turned completely black.
Right now she truly had the impulse to kill this disciple of hers…
Her vast spiritual power swept through everything within a thousand meters. Only after confirming there was not a single human present did she crawl out from inside.
The interior of the stone coffin was filled with venom. She could not possibly change clothes inside.
The Asura God, who had been monitoring the situation, had long since averted his gaze. He switched the view to Jiang Chen and watched the youth who had curled up among the mountain rocks, not daring to look behind him.
"This kid is a bit dumb." The Asura God shook his head with a smile, growing even fonder of Jiang Chen.
Standing on the mountaintop, exposed under the broad daylight, Bibi Dong felt extremely awkward.
In such an open place, she constantly felt as though someone was secretly peeping.
She quickly restored her clothing, gritted her teeth and kicked the stone coffin once, then turned and flew toward Spirit City.
Jiang Chen, who was sitting under a large rock, heard the sound of flight. He raised his head and looked up, only to see Bibi Dong's face completely black as she flew toward Spirit City at an unprecedented speed.
Jiang Chen could not help but wipe away a cold sweat. "Teacher wouldn't be rushing back to hunt me down, would she?"
He calculated in his heart. He estimated that Bibi Dong should have already entered that secret passage before he began returning.
The stone coffin would automatically dissipate after a certain amount of time, so there was no need to worry about it further.
He did not dare take that secret passage back. Bibi Dong was currently in a rage. If he returned from there, wouldn't he be walking right into the trap?
He entered directly through the gates of Spirit City, wandered the streets for a while, and bought some of his daughter's favorite snacks and toys.
Only when evening was approaching did he head toward Pope Mountain.
The guards protecting the halls had long become extremely familiar with Jiang Chen and respectfully watched him ascend the mountain.
In front of the Pope's Hall, the commander of the hall-guarding knights called out to Jiang Chen.
Jiang Chen revealed a smile. "Old Ji, come over to my place for a few drinks?"
Commander Ji revealed a stiff smile and said, "Your Highness the Holy Son is joking."
Then he showed an expression of wanting to speak yet holding back.
"Is something the matter?" Jiang Chen asked in confusion.
"Your Highness the Holy Son, Her Majesty was looking everywhere for you just now and instructed us that the moment we saw you, we were to tell you to go see her immediately."
Jiang Chen nodded. "I'll go later."
"Your Highness the Holy Son, Her Majesty looked extremely angry. Please take care of yourself." After speaking, Commander Ji quickly departed.
Jiang Chen stood in place and pondered for a moment, not daring to head toward Bibi Dong's side.
"Better wait until Teacher's anger has cooled before talking about it."
Upon returning to his residence, he discovered that Qian Renxue, Hu Liena, and Little Xue Ning were all absent. They had probably gone to eat with Bibi Dong.
Jiang Chen smiled bitterly and could only head toward the Elder Hall.
Having broken through to the Spirit Douluo realm and after the battle with Bibi Dong, he felt that he should now possess the strength to challenge a Limit Douluo.
If he could defeat Qian Daoliu, then his confidence would increase by several degrees.
Once he raised his level a few more ranks, even if that Tang Chen had the Asura Sword in hand, he would not fear him.
Arriving at Qian Daoliu's courtyard, Qian Daoliu happened to be eating.
Jiang Chen thick-skinnedly sat down and joined him in drinking and eating meat.
"Why did you suddenly come to keep this old man company tonight?" Qian Daoliu asked with a smile.
Jiang Chen clinked cups with Qian Daoliu. "I suddenly felt like drinking with Grandpa, so I came over."
Setting down his wine cup, he smiled and said, "Actually, I also have some good news to tell Grandpa."
"Oh? Could it be that Xue'er is pregnant again?" Qian Daoliu's eyes lit up. His slightly drunken face immediately became energetic.
Jiang Chen shook his head with a wry smile. "No. It's that my cultivation has broken through."
The light in Qian Daoliu's eyes dimmed. He nodded slightly. "Spirit Douluo. Not bad. You've already caught up to Xue'er."
He really wanted a great-grandson with something between his legs. He really wanted to see that scene before he offered himself in sacrifice.
Jiang Chen stood up and released his eight spirit rings.
Pa!
Qian Daoliu's wine cup fell to the ground. His entire person fell into a dazed state.
...
A long while later, Qian Daoliu's face was full of shock.
"You just said that your rank has reached eighty-four, and that you defeated the rank-ninety-seven Bibi Dong. It's truly hard to believe.
"In this old man's entire life, I have never seen a genius as terrifying as you."
Jiang Chen said modestly, "Grandpa, actually my purpose was to spar with you a little."
Qian Daoliu raised an eyebrow. His snow-white beard twitched as he laughed, "You brat just defeated your teacher, and now you want to challenge me?"
Jiang Chen's gaze was firm as he said, "Grandpa, I must defeat you before becoming a Titled Douluo."
"Why?"
"Because I have accepted the Asura God's inheritance trials. The content of the second trial is to defeat Tang Chen." Jiang Chen answered.
"What? Tang Chen isn't dead after all?" Qian Daoliu abruptly stood up. A powerful aura erupted from his aged body. The chair behind him was blasted flying by the impact.
Jiang Chen timely reached out and pressed down the table of food and wine.
Qian Daoliu's snow-white long hair danced as a powerful battle intent radiated from him. His gaze shot toward Jiang Chen like lightning.
He asked slowly yet firmly, "Tell me, where is Tang Chen right now?"
"Grandpa, please sit down first. Let's talk slowly. There's no rush." Jiang Chen hurriedly soothed him.
He had not expected Qian Daoliu's reaction to be so intense upon hearing news of Tang Chen.
Qian Daoliu forced himself to calm down, walked a few steps, dragged the chair back, sat down, and continued staring fixedly at Jiang Chen.
The fine wine and delicacies on the table could no longer attract his attention.
Jiang Chen said, "Tang Chen is inside the City of Slaughter. He is the Slaughter King."
Qian Daoliu's tall, aged body shook. He murmured, "So he was actually the Slaughter King… He actually hid away in there for decades, leaving her to wait alone for decades…"
"Grandpa, actually Senior Tang Chen remained there for a reason.
"Back then, he obtained the Asura God's inheritance there. But when the inheritance reached the eighth trial, he was plotted against by the Rakshasa God. Afterward he lost his memories and became the bloodthirsty and brutal Slaughter King.
"He is no longer the Tang Chen of those years. He has already lost himself in slaughter and blood."
Qian Daoliu was stunned, then his face filled with sighs and emotion. "I never imagined that he had actually obtained the Asura God's inheritance back then. That is an ancient and powerful deity. Yet his ending was so tragic.
"By the way, you just said that you also accepted the Asura God's inheritance and must challenge Tang Chen. What's going on with that?"
Jiang Chen said, "Senior Tang Chen has been unable to pass the eighth trial for a long time. The Asura God Senior therefore selected me anew as the inheritor. The content of the second trial is to defeat Tang Chen before breaking through to Titled Douluo and seize the divine weapon Asura Sword from his hands."
Qian Daoliu stood up in shock and firmly opposed it: "No. That Tang Chen's strength far exceeds your imagination. I'm afraid he is already infinitely close to the god level. You have no chance of victory if you challenge him."
