Chapter 206: You Covet the Power of Destiny, While I Covet Your God Position
After Ah Zhu's death, Tang Hao turned to look at the entire Man-Faced Demon Spider tribe.
"It's not over yet. As for the entire Man-Faced Demon Spider tribe..."
"They all deserve to die!!!"
Tang Hao's eyes were bloodshot as he panted heavily, swinging the Clear Sky Hammer and slaughtering every Man-Faced Demon Spider that disgusted him.
Spirit City.
Watching this scene through the power of destiny,
Yun Yuan shook his head.
"What an utterly heartless beast, Tang Hao."
The current Tang Hao could truly be described as a mad dog.
Soon, however, Yun Yuan shifted his attention to Tang San in Tang Hao's arms.
As the pawn the Asura God had placed on the Douluo Continent,
Tang San might be a pawn, but in the future, he would inherit the Asura God's god position.
That happened to be the perfect place for Yun Yuan to interfere.
Yun Yuan had long coveted the power of slaughter and judgment contained within the Asura God Position.
After all, it was a power that led directly to the God King realm.
The Asura God coveted the power of destiny belonging to the Spirit Hall.
As for Yun Yuan, how could he not covet the Asura God's God King Position?
By breaking through all Dao with strength alone, the more Laws he accumulated, the greater the improvement would be after creating his own God Position and merging his two Dao Fruits.
Thinking of this, the look in Yun Yuan's eyes as he gazed at Tang San became increasingly fervent.
However, he quickly calmed himself.
The matter of seizing the Asura God Position had to be carried out slowly.
He already had a way to take the Asura God's god position.
However, it required that old geezer Asura pass the Asura God Position on to Tang San first.
That old geezer Asura was a God King. Trying to tamper with the Asura God Position behind his back was virtually impossible.
But once the old geezer Asura passed the god position down, then everything would be different.
"Tang San, Tang San, I look forward to the day you become a god."
"When that day comes, everything you have, and everything that old geezer Asura has, will all belong to me."
Immediately afterward,
Yun Yuan withdrew his gaze as his state of ultimate sublimation came to an end, his cultivation returning from the God King realm to the Limit Douluo realm.
However, during this observation through the Law of Destiny, Yun Yuan had also brought back a wisp of Ah Zhu's soul.
As for that fragment of Ah Zhu's soul, Yun Yuan planned to let Tang Hao experience what Ah Zhu had felt.
"When Ah Zhu meets Tang Hao again, just how much hatred will she feel? And how will she torment him? I'm really looking forward to it."
When the time came, Yun Yuan would naturally present Tang Hao with this gift.
The Douluo God Realm, Asura God's Hall.
Watching everything unfolding below on the Douluo Continent, the Asura God nodded in satisfaction.
"This Tang Hao is truly ruthless. He has quite a bit of my style from back then."
At this moment, the Asura God, who was not proficient in the power of destiny, had no idea that Yun Yuan had just silently observed the scene of Tang Hao killing his wife to obtain the Dao alongside him.
He had even taken away a fragment of Ah Zhu's soul right under the Asura God's nose.
"Now that Tang San has descended upon the Douluo Continent, the day I seize Spirit Hall's power of destiny isn't far away."
Through endless layers of space, the Asura God looked toward Spirit City, located at the center of the Douluo Continent.
Just as he was observing Spirit City,
Inside Atlas Hall, Yun Yuan glanced into the void.
Their gazes met in midair.
"What bad luck."
Seemingly sensing Yun Yuan's warning, the Asura God cursed under his breath before withdrawing his gaze.
The Star Dou Great Forest, the Man-Faced Demon Spider tribe.
Tang Hao's enormous Clear Sky Hammer was stained with blood.
By himself, he had exterminated the entire Man-Faced Demon Spider tribe.
"I obtained an external soul bone. At least this Man-Faced Demon Spider tribe made one final contribution before dying."
"It'll serve nicely as one of Xiao San's future foundations."
The entire Man-Faced Demon Spider tribe had yielded an extremely rare treasure for Tang Hao.
An external soul bone.
An external soul bone was a treasure second only to a hundred-thousand-year soul bone.
If nurtured properly, it even had the chance to evolve into a hundred-thousand-year soul bone.
One external soul bone and one hundred-thousand-year Man-Faced Spider Emperor soul bone.
Tang Hao intended to leave both treasures to his son, Tang San.
Speaking of hundred-thousand-year soul bones, Tang Hao had not yet absorbed Ah Zhu's hundred-thousand-year soul ring.
He arrived where Ah Zhu had died and looked at her body, her eyes still open in death, yet his expression remained completely indifferent.
It was as though the woman before him had never been the wife who had once shared his bed.
Tang Hao sat down cross-legged and began absorbing the hundred-thousand-year soul ring.
As time passed,
Tang Hao slowly opened his eyes, his face filled with a brilliant smile.
"So this is the power of a hundred-thousand-year soul ring? It directly raised me by two ranks."
"Moreover, its two hundred-thousand-year soul skills are worlds apart from my eighth soul skill."
"Most importantly, regarding the Ring Explosion Secret Technique, I have a feeling that even exploding my first eight soul rings together wouldn't compare to exploding a hundred-thousand-year soul ring."
Only now did Tang Hao truly understand why his grandfather, Tang Chen, had insisted that his ninth soul ring had to be a hundred-thousand-year soul ring.
The enhancement brought by a hundred-thousand-year soul ring was simply too great, especially for a Clear Sky Hammer soul master.
After sensing the changes within himself, Tang Hao collected Ah Zhu's hundred-thousand-year Man-Faced Spider Emperor soul bone and left the Star Dou Great Forest.
He intended to carefully raise Tang San and turn him into the perfect instrument of revenge.
Spirit City, inside Snow Empress's bedroom.
Leaning close to Ice Empress's ear, Snow Empress spoke in a voice as tempting as a devil's whisper.
"Bing'er, after all this time, haven't you realized it yet?"
"You like Yun Yuan."
"Think about it. Whenever Yun Yuan is happy, don't you feel happy too? And whenever he's sad, don't you feel sad for him as well? That's what it means to like someone."
"Bing'er, hurry up and confess your feelings to Yun Yuan."
Listening to the Snow Empress's words, the Ice Empress hesitated.
Every word struck the deepest part of her heart.
Could it be that she really had fallen in love with Yun Yuan?
"Should I confess to Yun Yuan? But if I do, won't it be so embarrassing? What if he laughs at me?"
The moment she imagined Yun Yuan bursting into laughter after hearing her confession,
The Ice Empress felt unbearably embarrassed.
"Xue'er, tell me... if I confess, will Yun Yuan make fun of me?"
Holding Snow Empress's hand, the Ice Empress asked shyly.
"Bing'er, don't worry. Based on how well I know Ah Yuan, he absolutely won't laugh at you."
"On the contrary, he'll treasure you dearly."
"As for how he'll treasure you, that's something only you'll understand."
Snow Empress smiled as she patiently continued persuading Ice Empress.
It had already been nearly half a year.
Convincing the stubbornly tsundere Bing'er had truly been difficult.
Now that success was finally within reach, she absolutely had to keep Ice Empress's resolve steady.
As long as Ice Empress dared to take that final step, then, judging by Snow Empress's understanding of Yun Yuan, Ice Empress would truly become her seventh younger sister.
"Alright, Xue'er. I trust you. You'd better not trick me, or I won't be able to hold my head up in front of Yun Yuan ever again."
At last, the Ice Empress made up her mind.
Only she knew just how difficult it had been to take this step.
After all, this was the first time she had ever confessed her feelings to a man.
