Douluo Continent: Who exactly is my father?

"That's the Deep Sea Demon Whale King, a super sea spirit beast, whose age exceeds 990,000 years!"

"Nine hundred and ninety thousand years?" Qian Renxue exclaimed in surprise.

"In this world, really..."

Poseidon continued, "The world is vast and full of wonders. The ocean is expansive, and its spirit beasts far outnumber those on the continent. The reason your father wouldn't let you see them is because..."

"It was that deep-sea demon whale king that went berserk. This guy was in the Demon Whale Sea area before. Every now and then he would come out and cause trouble. Just now! The noise he made really scared our son and daughter, so Dad went to deal with him, Mom, right!"

Poseidon nodded quickly…

"what!"

"Lin'er, Ling'er!"

Qian Renxue rushed to the child's side. Upon hearing that the child was frightened, she, as a mother, reacted extremely strongly.

Seeing this, Poseidon and Bofeng secretly breathed a sigh of relief; they had finally managed to deceive them. But this Deep Sea Demon Whale King…

Dad will take care of it!

On the battlefield, Tang Hao was covered in blood, his gray clothes gradually becoming stained with blood, turning an increasingly dark color. He gripped the Clear Sky Hammer tightly in his hand, but... Tang Hao was instantly sent flying backward.

The Great Sumeru Hammer inflicted unpredictable damage on the Deep Sea Demon Whale King. The power of the nine rings exploding simultaneously was not to be underestimated, and one of them was a 100,000-year soul ring.

To the naked eye, the back of the Deep Sea Demon Whale King is slightly concave.

This enraged it, and its aura surged forth. Instinctively, the magic pouch tied to Tang Hao's waist fell off...

Tang Hao noticed it immediately, but then…

"No! Ah Yin!"

He cried out in despair, reaching out to grasp at that last glimmer of hope, tears streaming down his face uncontrollably…

Tang Hao went to Poseidon Island so that Ah Yin could regain her human form and the couple could be reunited.

But what awaited him was a nightmare…

The Deep Sea Demon Whale King had already emerged from the sea, its mouth wide open. It had been waiting for this moment; once it swallowed this creature, its strength would increase dramatically.

The allure of the divine herbs was too great, even the Deep Sea Demon Whale King couldn't resist them, and just at the critical moment!

Suddenly, a mysterious force blasted the Deep Sea Demon Whale King several miles away. Immediately afterward, Tang Hao, who was flying backward, was also suspended in mid-air by a mysterious force.

The magic pouch returned to Tang Hao's hands. The first thing Tang Hao did upon grabbing the pouch was to open it and check on Ah Yin's condition.

Inside the treasure pouch, the Blue Silver Grass floated peacefully, its azure leaves adorned with dazzling golden veins. Thankfully, Ah Yin was unharmed.

At this moment, Tang Hao's heart, which had been hanging in suspense, finally relaxed.

Tang Hao was pleased, but the Deep Sea Demon Whale King was not. The cooked duck had flown away; just as it was about to swallow the treasure, it was repelled by a mysterious force.

Ignoring all that, it looked at Tang Hao, who was hovering in mid-air not far away, and began to launch the next wave of attacks.

Tang Hao's soul power was exhausted. Even as a powerful Title Douluo, he was extremely strained when facing the Deep Sea Demon Whale King. Even the Great Sumeru Hammer could only cause slight damage to it.

Seeing the Deep Sea Demon Whale King getting closer and closer, Tang Hao no longer chose to run away. The Clear Sky Hammer reappeared in his hand, and he vowed to die with Ah Yin.

"Beast!"

A familiar and majestic voice rang out, instantly turning the sky blood red. The voice spread from all directions, causing Tang Hao's heart to tremble; he hadn't even sensed the person's presence.

Meanwhile, Tang Hao wasn't the only one afraid. On the contrary, the Deep Sea Demon Whale King had stopped and was cautiously looking around...

Chapter Thirty-Four: God, Inviolable Dignity

"Wasn't the lesson the sea god taught you 20,000 years ago enough? Are you planning to blind your other eye as well?"

Tang Chen's voice rang out again, and he slowly appeared in front of Tang Hao, dressed in the Shura God Armor. His blood-red armor was extremely eye-catching, and the entire sky was dyed blood red. The unparalleled pressure made the Deep Sea Demon Whale King tremble.

"Waaah—"

The Deep Sea Demon Whale King roared in unwilling anger, his heart filled with horror. As the most powerful sea spirit beast on this continent, it was only one step away from becoming a "god".

But it is often this one step that keeps it trapped here. Soul beasts cannot become gods; this is an ironclad rule.

Unexpectedly, there was a "god" on the ocean.

This was something the Deep Sea Demon Whale King hadn't anticipated. But when it looked at the Ruyi Treasure Pouch in Tang Hao's hand, it saw this as a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. If it could devour it, perhaps...

But the one before him was indeed a "god," and thus, the Deep Sea Demon Whale King was caught in a dilemma.

"Grandpa...Grandpa."

Tang Hao was stunned, looking at the long-unseen figure. Tang Chen's strength was now terrifyingly formidable. This sea spirit beast had once cornered him, even forcing him to unleash the Great Sumeru Hammer…

However, as soon as Tang Chen appeared, the Deep Sea Demon Whale King appeared extremely timid.

"Waaah—"

The deep-sea demon whale roared in defiance once more. Blue spots began to appear on its massive body, these spots resembling fish scales swirling across its skin, and the deep-sea demon whale's body underwent rapid changes.

"Transformation into a dragon?"

Tang Chenxuan was taken aback for a moment, then smiled...

"Do you think that by completing the process of transforming into a dragon, you can challenge the dignity of a god?"

Tang Chen moved slightly, and as his right hand slowly lowered, the entire ocean followed.

Twisting and tumbling, a single thought can change the world.

The Deep Sea Demon Whale King roared in pain, and the greed in its eyes for the Ruyi Treasure Pouch tied to Tang Hao's waist had vanished without a trace. Now, all that remained was endless fear.

"Get out! Don't let me see you again."

Tang Chen waved his hand again, and the oppressive force that had been crushing the Deep Sea Demon Whale King suddenly dissipated. At the same moment, the Deep Sea Demon Whale King returned to the deep sea without looking back. It swam at an extremely fast speed, and in no time, it had disappeared without a trace.

"Hao'er, it's been a long time."

Tang Chen turned around and smiled at Tang Hao…

"Grandpa...Grandpa."

Tang Hao choked up as he called out, feeling overwhelmed with unbearable sorrow after more than a decade of separation.

"This is not the place to talk. Come with Grandpa."

Immediately afterwards, Tang Chen and Tang Hao's figures slowly disappeared...

The sea returned to calm. After this battle alone, the Deep Sea Demon Whale King had become much more restrained. With Tang Chen, the Asura God, present, killing it would be an easy task.

Poseidon Island, at the foot of Poseidon Mountain.

Tang Chen removed his Asura God Armor and donned a blood-red robe, standing here with Tang Hao in front of them, where the light of the Sea God shrouded the area.

"What happened back then is not your fault. You also fulfilled the responsibilities of a husband. Qian Xunji's death... perhaps it all seemed to have been destined long ago."

Tang Chen patted Tang Hao on the shoulder to comfort him.

Tang Hao looked disappointed, sighed, and said, "Grandpa, I have failed to live up to your high expectations. I have not been able to inherit the position of sect leader."

The events unfolded too suddenly. The scene of Ah Yin's sacrifice years ago was still etched into his mind, impossible to erase. Tang Hao felt a deep sense of guilt towards the sect, his heart filled with countless thoughts, always feeling that he had let the sect down.

Tang Chen smiled and shook his head, saying, "You haven't wronged me in any way. If it were me, Grandpa would have done the same. When your wife is in danger, that's what a true man does—able to bend and stretch, able to fight and never retreat. Your father was too foolish; that decision back then ruined the future of the entire Haotian Sect. Not only did the subordinate clans suffer, but even you..."

After a long while...

Tang Chen sighed and said, "Forget it, let's not talk about it anymore. Now that I have become a god, I will no longer concern myself with the affairs of the Haotian Sect. Hao'er, bring out her true form."

Tang Hao nodded, then opened the Ruyi Treasure Pouch, revealing a Blue Silver Grass—no, the Blue Silver Emperor—that was entirely azure blue with distinct pale gold patterns on every vein.

On Poseidon Island, there are also many Blue Silver Grasses. When Tang Hao's Blue Silver Grass appeared, miraculously, all the Blue Silver Grasses on the island worshipped it, bowing their heads and emitting a bright blue light.

Tang Chen's eyes were filled with blood red, as if they could pierce through the Blue Silver Emperor.

Immediately afterwards, Tang Chen waved his hand, and the Blue Silver Emperor immediately floated in his palm. Then, Tang Chen used his divine power to plant the Blue Silver Grass Seed in the Sea God's Light.

"This Blue Silver Emperor has extremely strong vitality. Even when sacrificed, it can still grow on its own. Hao'er, it seems that your efforts over the years have not been in vain."

Tang Hao smiled and shook his head, "These are all thanks to A Yin's efforts, and have nothing to do with me. Grandpa, A Yin, she..."

"Don't worry, with the light of the sea god protecting her, your granddaughter-in-law will be perfectly fine. And you too!"

Tang Chen said with slight anger, "It's been more than ten years since we last met. You have several hidden injuries in your body, some of which have even worsened. You've suffered a lot these past years."

More than a decade has passed, so what does all this matter now?

Tang Hao shook his head slightly…

"From now on, you will live at the foot of Poseidon Mountain. I will have someone bring you food every day. Under the protection of the Poseidon's light and with the growth of the Blue Silver Emperor itself, I believe it won't be long before you and your husband are reunited," Tang Chen instructed.

"Yes, Grandpa."

Tang Hao hurriedly agreed, not daring to slack off in the slightest.

"There's one more!"

Tang Chen added, “Without my permission, you cannot step into the Light of the Sea God, nor can you enter the Temple of the Sea God. Allowing you to reside here is already an exception. As the most sacred place on Sea God Island, Mount Sea God is not allowed to be entered by anyone other than those who have passed the corresponding test or the High Priest.”

"Hao'er, do you understand?"

"Yes, Tang Hao will keep it in mind."

After saying that, Tang Chen nodded and then disappeared from the spot…

After Tang Chen left, Tang Hao immediately found a place to sit down, gazing at Ah Yin, who was perched halfway up the mountain. The area covered by the Sea God's Light was at its most intense here, and combined with the Blue Silver Emperor's terrifying regenerative abilities as a plant-type soul beast, the effect was twice as good with half the effort.

With his worries gone, Tang Hao sat up cross-legged. Just as Tang Chen had said, many years had passed. He had accumulated numerous hidden injuries, and now he finally had the time to properly heal them.

Chapter Thirty-Five: An Accident with the Child, True Love from Parents

Inside the Temple of Poseidon, Poseidon sat in the head seat, watching everything that was happening in the water curtain.

Allowing Tang Hao to enter Seagod Island was already a great honor for Tang Chen, the Asura God. Under normal circumstances, let alone Seagod Mountain, not even Seagod Island would be allowed to host anyone.

Unless one is able to pass the test of the sea god.

“That beast is extremely powerful. Even when Hao’er used the Great Sumeru Hammer, it only caused slight damage to the Deep Sea Demon Whale King.”

Tang Chen suddenly appeared in the Sea God Temple…

Poseidon rose, nodded, and said, "The Deep Sea Demon Whale King is the eighth trial of the Sea God's Nine Trials. At that time, our son will be able to..."

"Ha ha…"

Tang Chen smiled, gently embraced Poseidon, and said, "You have to trust our son. Although the Deep Sea Demon Whale King is powerful, it hasn't reached the god level yet. Besides, that was the final eighth test. With Feng'er's Trident of the Sea God, are you still worried that our son can't handle this guy?"
