Chapter 4 Old man, you really are still alive!
At the edge of the Star Dou Great Forest, the Shrek group once again encountered the mysterious man.
Hearing footsteps, he turned his head slightly, his silver hair brushing against his shoulder.
"We meet again." His voice was calm and even, showing no sign of surprise.
"Mr. Bai'e," Tang San stepped forward, trying to sound calm, "We apologize for disturbing you. We have some questions, and we wonder if you could enlighten us?"
"question?"
"Mr. Bai'er, you seem to know something about the origin of this canopy?"
"I wouldn't say I understand it."
"I've only seen similar things before."
Different worlds are occasionally viewed by beings of higher dimensions, sometimes for recording, sometimes for experimentation, and sometimes simply to satisfy idle curiosity.
"A higher dimension? Curiosity?" Flander couldn't help but press, "Mr. Bai'er, do you mean, is there a god behind this celestial canopy? Or some other being we cannot comprehend?"
Liu Erlong, being impatient, asked directly, "Do you know who will be next on this list? Is there any danger?"
This time, Bai E remained silent for a moment.
"Turbulence itself is dangerous. But it can also be an opportunity."
Xiao Wu couldn't help but ask in a low voice, "Mr. Bai'er, you don't seem worried at all?"
Bai E gently shook his head.
"The worry stems from a lack of control over my own situation. I have little connection with this world; all I seek is to find my way home."
He spoke casually, but everyone could sense from his calm words that he had been through a lot!
Just then, the light screen in the sky shone brightly, and the ten-minute countdown ended!
Everyone's attention was instantly drawn back to the sky!
[A Ranking of the Strongest Players in Douluo Continent]
[Ninth Place: Tang Chen]
The moment this name appeared was completely different from the uproar when "Bibi Dong" appeared.
First, there was a deathly silence as countless people searched for memories of this name.
Immediately afterwards, the older generation of Soul Masters, especially the top experts, were dumbfounded!
"Tang Chen?"
Is it Tang Chen?
The previous sect leader of the Haotian Sect?!
He's still alive?!
Didn't he disappear decades ago?!
"My God, if it's him, it seems possible that he could be ranked ahead of Pope Bibi Dong?"
What do you mean by "possible"?!
That's a legend on par with Sendou Ryu and Poseidon!
One of the three pinnacles of the mainland's Soul Master world!
For the younger generation, "Tang Chen" may just be a vague legend, but for those who lived through that era...
This name is a legend, a towering mountain that once suffocated the geniuses of its time!
Terrace of the Offering Hall.
Qian Daoliu, who had been as calm as still water, trembled almost imperceptibly the moment he saw the name "Tang Chen".
Those eyes flashed with an unprecedented brilliance, their fighting spirit ignited instantly.
So you're still alive. My old rival.
Qian Daoliu silently recited in his heart, a complex and indescribable emotion welling up within him.
He knew better than anyone how terrifying Tang Chen was.
Back then, the three stood side by side, and in terms of pure aggression and domineering power, Tang Chen was undoubtedly number one.
After his disappearance, Qian Daoliu thought that era had come to a complete end, but unexpectedly...
"Tang Chen..." Golden Crocodile Douluo's face was filled with disbelief.
"The High Priest, he's actually still alive? Where has he been all these decades? Why has there been no news of him?"
Qian Daoliu did not answer, staring intently at the light screen, waiting for more information.
He needed to know exactly where his old rival had gotten after all these decades.
Haotian Sect.
A deathly silence.
Tang Xiao and the five elders stared blankly at the sky.
Tang Xiao's eyes instantly filled with tears.
"Grandfather, it's Grandfather! He's still alive!" Tang Xiao's voice was choked with sobs. This usually composed sect leader was completely out of control at this moment.
The five elders were moved to tears and trembled with emotion.
For the Clear Sky Sect, Tang Chen was not only the previous sect leader, but also the spiritual totem of an era, and the symbol of the Clear Sky Hammer's invincibility!
His disappearance was one of the turning points in the rise and fall of the Haotian Sect, which was forced into seclusion.
"Heaven has eyes! Our ancestor is still alive!" The Second Elder's voice was hoarse. "Quickly! Activate all our hidden agents immediately, at all costs, to find our ancestor's whereabouts!"
"Yes! We've found our ancestor! The revival of our Haotian Sect is in sight!"
The location of the Shrek Academy students.
Tang San looked bewildered. "Who is Tang Chen?" he asked the master.
"Tang Chen is your great-grandfather and the previous sect leader of the Haotian Sect."
He was once known as one of the three peerless Douluo in the world, alongside Qian Daoliu, the Grand Elder of the Spirit Hall, and Poseidon, the High Priestess of Seagod Island; he was a true legend in the world of Soul Masters. He's still alive!
Tang San was struck dumb, his eyes widening in shock.
Great-grandfather? Someone of a higher generation than my grandfather?
A legend of being on par with Sendo-ryu?
I've never heard his father mention this before!
Just then, the screen began to list Tang Chen's information in detail:
Name: Tang Chen
[Identity: Former Sect Master of the Clear Sky Sect, Successor of the Asura God, King of Slaughter]
[Martial Soul: Clear Sky Hammer (Has reached the perfect state of "Great Sumeru", only one step away from truly reaching "below the gods, the ultimate weapon")]
[Soul Ring Combination: Black, Black, Black, Black, Black, Black, Black, Black, Red]
[Current Soul Power Level: Level 99 Peerless Douluo (Note: Abnormal status, soul is trapped, body is in a special state of semi-sealed and semi-controlled, unable to fully exert peak strength)]
[Reason for inclusion: He cultivated the Clear Sky Hammer to an unprecedented level, creating the "Great Sumeru Hammer" profound technique, whose attack power is unparalleled throughout history. Although he encountered setbacks in his pursuit of godhood, causing confusion in his soul, his profound foundation, honed combat skills, and near-divine understanding of martial spirit still allow him to retain the power to shake the continent.]
Information released: King of Slaughter? Successor of the Asura God?
How could a level 99 peerless Douluo be in such an abnormal state?
But what's even more alarming is that, even in this "non-peak" state, Tang Chen still ranked ninth, surpassing Bibi Dong, who was in perfect condition!
How terrifying must his true peak strength be?
Is this the foundation of what was once the number one sect in the world?
The sky continued to change, and a layer of viscous blood light swirled around Tang Chen's body. Within the blood light, nine tiny eyes were faintly flashing.
The evil consciousness of the Crimson Nine-Headed Bat King dominates the surface level, suppressing Tang Chen's true self, thus manifesting as an abnormal state of "half-sealed, half-controlled".
"hiss--!"
Across the mainland, gasps of astonishment echoed simultaneously.
That legendary figure, who was once at the pinnacle of power, actually met such an end?
"He's actually in the Killing City? No wonder we've been missing for decades!"
Tang Xiao's face was still wet with ecstasy and tears.
He let out a heart-wrenching wail: "Grandfather—!!!"
Save our ancestors! At all costs!
"Morning..." She looked at the light screen, her heart aching.
Decades of waiting without any news, countless days and nights of worry and speculation, and the truth is so cruel!
"Failed the Asura God Trial, the killing intent backfired," Poseidon muttered to herself. As the guardian of the God Trials, she understood the dangers of the high-level God Trials better than anyone else.
Perhaps it was because of the vow he made when he left, "I will not return until I become a god," that Tang Chen resolutely embarked on the most difficult path of Asura.
Tears streamed down her face silently. "Wait for me!"
At the same time, the sky changed!
[Tang Chen, ranked ninth, has been identified.]
[Rewards: Soul-Soothing Jade x1, Creation Marrow x1]
[Reward Description: The Soul-Soothing Jade can stabilize the soul and has a remarkable effect on those whose souls are trapped; the Creation Marrow can reshape vitality, make up for the deficiencies in the physical body caused by long-term abnormality, and help it return to a perfect state.]
Bibi Dong's expression grew even more grim; the reward sounded like it was tailor-made for Tang Chen's condition! Once he recovered…
Qian Daoliu's gaze was deep. Could that reward bring him back?
Seeing the reward he received, Poseidon's hope was rekindled: "Chen, you must recover. I'll wait for you, I'll always wait for you..."
Tang Xiao and the others from Haotian Sect were filled with mixed feelings of sorrow and joy.
That's wonderful! If the sect leader returns, our Haotian Sect will once again be the number one sect in the world!
Bai E stared quietly at the light screen, as if observing a drama that had nothing to do with him.
However, when he saw the phrase "the pursuit of divine status encountered an unexpected turn of events," he shook his head almost imperceptibly, as if he were seeing a familiar, lamentable trajectory.
