Chapter 215 My title is Dragon Emperor, and I belong to no sect or faction!
"Hiss—" Intense pain instantly spread throughout his body, and Tang Hao's old face immediately became extremely ferocious.
He hurriedly used his still intact left hand to seal the blood vessel, and looked up at Yu Tianyun, who was holding a long spear and pointing it at his head, motionless.
Then, Tang Hao suddenly retreated, dragging his battered body, and fled in panic without looking back.
"..." The God of Asura was taken aback at first, then cursed angrily, "That bastard, he didn't even take Tang San with him when he ran away!"
However, right after the God of Asura's furious outburst, Tang Hao quickly turned back, as if he had just remembered his son. He swiftly grabbed Tang San, who was being pinned down by Shi Nian, and fled in a cloud of dust once more.
"..." The God of Asura was speechless as he watched Tang Hao's outrageous actions. He suddenly realized that it was truly remarkable that Tang San was able to grow up with such a father.
The Asura God shook his head and turned to look at the Evil God, who had a lewd expression on his face.
"Little one, are you willing to inherit my divine position?" The evil god asked confidently, believing that no one would refuse the temptation of a divine position.
Of course, his divine position is not so easy to inherit; there must be some kind of test, right?
As for the content of the test, that would naturally depend on his preferences. What he liked most was observing the loves and hates of mortals; even if there were no loves and hates, he would create them.
"Hehehe!" As he thought about it, the expression on the face of the evil god gradually became distorted, leaving the god of asura completely dumbfounded.
The Asura God thought to himself, "As expected of the God of Evil, the most perverted god in the God Realm, he must be thinking of some evil thing again."
"I refuse," Yu Tianyun said calmly, unmoved by the words of the evil god.
"Alright, I'll now subject you to divine testing... Hmm? What did you say? You're unwilling?" The evil god in the divine realm widened his eyes, as if he had heard something unbelievable.
He immediately pressed on, asking, "Why are you unwilling? Do you understand the benefits of becoming a god?"
Yu Tianyun listened to the sounds coming from all directions, feeling somewhat impatient. If he weren't afraid that the evil god would be too shameless and forcibly subject him to a divine test, he probably wouldn't have been able to resist directly confronting him.
If it were in the past, when he was still weak, and the evil god took the initiative to come to him, even knowing that he would be tortured, he would not hesitate to choose to inherit the godhood.
But now, well, that's a different story.
Even if he can't become a god, with his current god-level body and his mental strength that's not far from godhood, he can live for a long time.
Moreover, the dragon bloodline within him was even more concentrated than that of a real dragon. Dragons are also soul beasts, and as everyone knows, soul beasts have incredibly long lifespans; even the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm could live for millions of years, so he certainly could too.
If becoming a god is only for eternal life, then his already long lifespan is not much different, so why bother being toyed with?
Besides, it wouldn't be too difficult for him to become a god based on his own abilities. He's already at the Soul Saint realm, and apart from his slower cultivation speed, reaching level 100 is practically a no-brainer. As long as he spends some time persevering, he'll eventually become a god.
Yu Tianyun pondered for a moment, then said solemnly, "Revered Evil God, becoming a god is certainly good; possessing great power and an infinite lifespan is something everyone yearns for. However, I still do not wish to become a god."
"..." The God of Evil was speechless for a moment.
If someone doesn't want to inherit the divine position, it's not right to force them to do so. After all, he's a god-king, and he still needs to save face.
But he was truly unwilling to give up just like that. He had encountered such a promising talent, and it seemed like they were destined to be together; he couldn't possibly let go so easily.
No, we have to try again!
Then, the evil god began to manipulate Yu Tianyun, saying how wonderful the divine realm was.
"What's so good about becoming a god? Staying in the divine realm for eternal life is like being in prison, and a life sentence at that." Yu Tianyun grew increasingly impatient as he listened to the evil god ramble on and on.
Tang Hao has probably already run away; he's suffered a loss he can't speak of.
Although he didn't want to offend the evil god outwardly, he still had to disgust him somehow.
A sly glint flashed in Yu Tianyun's eyes as he continued, "In my opinion, the rules of the divine realm are too numerous. How can it compare to the freedom of a mortal's life? After achieving godhood, watching one's family and friends leave one by one, leaving only oneself in the end, wouldn't that be lonely? I don't have any grand ambitions. I just want a wife and children, a warm bed, to grow old slowly with the one I love, to watch my children and grandchildren grow up, and then to die peacefully without any regrets. In my opinion, this is happier than becoming a god."
"..." Damn it, the God of Evil opened his mouth, speechless, and suddenly felt a sharp pain in his heart.
Every word Yu Tianyun said struck him to the core, resonating deep within his heart.
The Asura God beside him was also silenced, and his expression became somewhat dejected.
After thinking about it, he realized that the realm of gods was indeed very boring. He had long wanted to run away and have some fun, not to mention the evil god who couldn't stand the loneliness.
"Shura, I don't want to live anymore." The God of Evil put down his wine cup, his carefree expression vanished, replaced by sadness.
"To be honest, I really envy these humans in the lower realm. They have wives and children to accompany them, and so many interesting things to do. It's not as boring as the realm of gods."
"Sigh, no wonder destruction and life have always wanted a child."
"Go tell that to Kindness. My sexual orientation is perfectly normal," the Asura God glanced at him, then distanced himself and said calmly.
"Uh..." The God of Evil was speechless for a moment, blinked, and couldn't say a word.
Looking back at Yu Tianyun in the picture, she felt even more distressed, but at the same time, she also felt a sense of having met a kindred spirit, and her mood was very complicated.
After a moment of silence, he slowly said, "Since you're unwilling, then forget it. I hope you won't regret it later!"
Regret? How could I possibly regret it? It's only because I agreed that I'll regret it! Yu Tianyun thought to himself, unconcerned.
Immediately afterwards, the God of Evil waved his hand and withdrew his divine sense, and Yu Tianyun's consciousness returned to his body.
"Come on, Shura, let's have a drink!" The evil god raised his glass, wanting to drown his sorrows in alcohol.
"This kid really sees things clearly; I feel embarrassed to lie to him. It's such a waste of his talent."
Then, changing the subject, "Of course, the kid you've got your eye on is also quite good. He has twin martial souls, great fortune, good potential, and a calm personality. Enough said, brother, I wish you a speedy escape from this divine realm cage."
Asura God: "..."
This sounded strange; he had a feeling that the god of evil was being sarcastic, and he paused in his toast.
Tang San is indeed talented and blessed with great fortune, but in terms of achievements and character, Yu Tianyun is far superior to Tang San at present. He's only three years older than Tang San, yet his strength has already reached the pinnacle of the Douluo Continent—the difference is too obvious.
Suddenly, he felt the divine wine in his mouth taste even more bitter.
The azure sky came into view again. Yu Tianyun regained control of his body and thought to himself, "It seems I'll have to think of a way to completely eliminate the evil energy from my body."
After absorbing heavenly lightning several times, Yu Tianyun thought that the evil energy on his body had dissipated considerably. In order to avoid being affected by evil thoughts, he had never used the Evil God Domain, but he did not expect that he could still be sensed by the Evil God, which made him feel a sense of crisis.
"Sigh~" With a helpless sigh, Yu Tianyun raised his head.
Sure enough, Tang Hao had already escaped, and at the same time, Tang San's figure also disappeared.
However, he didn't take it to heart. Tang Hao was just a nobody. If he dared to appear in front of him again, he would crush him to death!
"Time to go back and enjoy the spoils." Yu Tianyun glanced at the Ruyi Baibao pouch at his waist and the corners of his mouth turned up slightly.
Just as he was about to turn and leave, a somewhat familiar voice called out to him.
"Please wait, sir!"
Upon hearing this, Yu Tianyun looked over and was slightly taken aback, thinking to himself, "I almost forgot, Grandpa and Grandpa Jian have been watching the battle from the sidelines the whole time."
Yu Tianyun had already sensed Yu Yuanzhen and Chen Xin's presence when they first arrived at this place.
However, he was engaged in a fierce battle with Tang Hao at the time and had no time to approach and speak. Otherwise, if Tang Hao saw that Yu Yuanzhen and Chen Xin had joined his side, he would be terrified. After all, he could barely handle Yu Tianyun alone; with two more powerful figures joining him, he would surely die even faster.
Yu Yuanzhen and Chen Xin flew over from a distance as soon as they saw Yu Tianyun turn around.
The two men looked at Yu Tianyun, whose face was covered by golden armor, and their eyes revealed a solemn expression.
The ruthless man before them, capable of crippling Tang Hao's arm and leg, was no weaker than the two of them. If this person was from the Spirit Hall, it wouldn't be good news for them.
Previously, Tang Hao had guessed that this person was a member of the Breaking Clan, but Yu Yuanzhen utterly disbelieved it. If this person were from the Breaking Clan, would Yang Wudi have joined his Blue Lightning Tyrant Clan? Absolutely impossible!
The sudden appearance of such a powerful person made them feel very insecure, so Yu Yuanzhen was determined to find out more about this person.
Of course, he wouldn't blindly make enemies.
Yu Yuanzhen then said, "Your strength is extraordinary. You were able to sever Tang Hao's arm and leg. We are truly impressed."
"I am Yu Yuanzhen, the sect leader of the Blue Lightning Overlord Sect."
Chen Xin, who was standing next to him, quickly introduced himself: "I am Chen Xin, the Supreme Elder of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School."
Then Yu Yuanzhen asked, "May I ask your honorable name and which sect you belong to?"
"..." Yu Tianyun was taken aback.
Good grief! You don't even recognize your own grandson? Old man, this really hurts my feelings!
However, he was very pleased with his grandfather's compliments to his grandson.
Yu Tianyun's lips curled up even more, but the two of them couldn't see anything because of the helmet.
Yu Tianyun glanced behind the two and saw that there were still many figures a hundred meters away, including his beloved little angel.
He immediately realized that these people had come to find out about him.
At this moment, the little angel stepped forward and said, "This junior is Xue Qinghe, Crown Prince of the Heaven Dou Empire. It is truly an honor for Heaven Dou City that you have graced our city with your presence. I wonder if you would do me the honor of being a host?"
"?" Yu Tianyun's heart stirred. He naturally knew Qian Renxue's true purpose, which was definitely to recruit him.
"Should I go and tease this little angel?" Yu Tianyun pondered. "Or maybe not. Going back with her would just be drinking and eating meat, no fun at all. The little rabbit is much more cost-effective..."
Is there a chance? Qian Renxue's eyes lit up. In her eyes, Yu Tianyun's behavior seemed to indicate that he was interested in her invitation.
After a moment's hesitation, Yu Tianyun, under Qian Renxue's expectant gaze, said in a weathered voice, "No reward!"
"..." Qian Renxue's face darkened slightly. She hadn't expected the other party to be so disrespectful, but she could only give an awkward smile. "It's alright. Whenever you wish to come, Senior, Qinghe will certainly welcome you with open arms."
Although she arrived late and didn't witness Yu Tianyun's rampage against Tang Hao, seeing how polite Yu Yuanzhen and Chen Xin were, she knew with her toes that this mysterious powerhouse must be incredibly strong, someone she couldn't afford to offend given her current status.
Yu Tianyun ignored her and turned his gaze to Yu Yuanzhen and Chen Xin. Suddenly, a mischievous thought arose in his mind. He put his hands behind his back, adopted a powerful stance, coughed lightly, and said in a serious tone, "Ahem, my title is Dragon Emperor. I belong to no sect or faction. May I ask what brings you two here?"
Yu Yuanzhen and Chen Xin both breathed a slight sigh of relief, but they were not completely at ease. Who knew whether what this person said was true or false?
Then, Yu Yuanzhen spoke up: "It's nothing serious. I originally intended to invite His Majesty the Dragon Emperor to Tiandou City so that I could extend my hospitality, but seeing that you have no interest, I'll leave it at that. I just wonder what brings His Majesty the Dragon Emperor to Tiandou City this time? If there's anything I can do to help, please don't hesitate to ask."
Yu Tianyun chuckled inwardly, but maintained his inscrutable demeanor, slowly saying, "I am a wanderer, with no fixed abode. I was merely passing through Tiandou City, but unexpectedly..."
At this point, Yu Tianyun expressed a deep sense of disappointment, and continued, "Unexpectedly, I encountered a lewd old man with the cultivation of a Soul Saint who was about to do something improper to a young man."
"How could I stand idly by? I killed him with a single punch. Then, while I was checking the boy's injuries, unexpectedly..."
At this point, Yu Tianyun paused, then waved his hand dramatically, appearing quite indignant.
This stirred the emotions of the three people in front of him, making them eager to know what would happen next.
Seeing this, Yu Tianyun said indignantly, "Unexpectedly, before I could even ascertain the extent of the boy's injuries, a rough man wielding a large hammer attacked without warning."
"I certainly couldn't tolerate this, and so, as you two have seen, I began to fight him."
Yu Yuanzhen, Chen Xin, and Qian Renxue all nodded in understanding. If they were in that situation, they would definitely fight Tang Hao for three hundred rounds as well.
"Having traveled the world, I have heard of the so-called number one weapon spirit in the world—the Clear Sky Hammer. Upon exchanging blows, I recognized that the person was none other than the Clear Sky Douluo who killed the previous Pope of the Spirit Hall with that hammer..."
"?" Upon hearing the name "Tang Hao," Qian Renxue's gaze sharpened, and she thought to herself, "So, this person in front of me fought with Tang Hao? Then that young man must be Tang San?" (End of Chapter)
