Soul Land: Legend of Saint Seiya

Chapter 194: Final Instructions

"Xiao San, your father has let you down!"

Looking at his son, who couldn't stop his tears, Tang Hao felt a pang of sorrow. Ever since Tang San was born, he had given him little in the way of paternal love. Now, he had no choice but to place the heavy responsibility of their family and future entirely on his shoulders.

"I had originally planned to protect you for a few more years, to wait until you were strong enough to defend yourself before entrusting everything to you. But now, my time is almost up. The road ahead will be one you must walk alone!"

"Dad, stop talking!"

Seeing Tang Hao coughing up blood with every word, Tang San couldn't hold back his own sobs. His heart ached as he held his father, trying in vain to stop the inevitable.

"Ridiculous! A man of the Haotian Sect stands tall and proud! What do you think you look like crying like this?"

Tang Hao forced himself to sit up straight, his face stern. "Xiao San, what I'm about to tell you, you must remember firmly. Do you hear me?"

"I… I hear you," Tang San choked out, wiping his tears away. He stared at his father's pale face, unwilling to look away. With the wisdom of two lifetimes, he knew all too well—this would be the last time he would see his father alive.

"You still have internal injuries that haven't fully healed. Bai He, the leader of the Speed Clan that once belonged to the Haotian Sect, possesses an extraordinary immortal herb: the Crystal Blood Dragon Ginseng. It would be immensely beneficial for your recovery. I originally planned to retrieve it for you, but I didn't expect to encounter that Limit Douluo from the Nine Stars Hall. If you get the chance in the future, you must obtain and consume that herb, or these internal injuries will hinder your ability to break through in soul power."

"I understand, Dad!"

Tang San's knowledge of herbs far surpassed Tang Hao's. Hearing the name Crystal Blood Dragon Ginseng made his heart race with greed. Even if he had no injuries, he would go to great lengths to claim such a treasure.

"The Speed Clan isn't strong in attack, but they are incredibly fast. Bai He is a Soul Douluo-level expert, so you must be cautious and never act recklessly!"

Tang Hao gave a stern warning before shifting topics. "Among the six spirit bones I possess, the left arm bone and right leg bone are Haotian Sect legacy spirit bones, both over 70,000 years old. When I'm gone, absorb them immediately. They will significantly improve your physical strength and greatly aid your future cultivation."

Having lost the Blue Silver Emperor right leg bone and knowing his end was near, Tang Hao abandoned the idea of returning these spirit bones to the sect as atonement. Instead, he chose to leave them to Tang San to strengthen him and help him grow quickly.

"The other four spirit bones are all about 50,000 years old. You can decide how to use them based on your needs. Don't rush; if you find no suitable replacements in the future, you can absorb them later."

After settling the matter of the spirit bones, Tang Hao struggled to retrieve several maps from his storage soul tool. He spread them out in front of Tang San and began explaining, "Xiao San, this first map marks a forest called the Blue Silver Forest. Your mother was the Blue Silver Grass clan's emperor, the Blue Silver Emperor. You inherited the Blue Silver Emperor's bloodline, but it hasn't awakened yet. That's why your martial soul resembles ordinary Blue Silver Grass. Once you reach Rank 50, go to the Blue Silver Forest and find the Blue Silver King. It will help awaken your Blue Silver Emperor bloodline. By then, your martial soul will evolve into the Blue Silver Emperor, a top-tier martial soul comparable to the Haotian Hammer."

"The second map marks the Slaughter City, a place filled with sin and carnage. It's a haven for the fallen but also a crucible for the strong. In the Slaughter City, soul masters cannot use their soul skills. They can only rely on their soul power and physical abilities to fight. It's an ideal place to hone one's combat prowess. Soul masters who wish to leave the Slaughter City must achieve a hundred consecutive victories in the Hell Slaughter Arena and then traverse the Hell Road. Those who succeed will obtain a domain skill dominated by killing intent: the Killing God Domain.

"I was one of the Killing Gods who emerged from the Slaughter City. The Killing God Domain allowed me to dominate the soul master world, making me nearly invincible. It is a practical and powerful domain skill."

Tang Hao paused for a moment, his face clouding with hesitation. He had never understood why the Killing God Domain erupted with such overwhelming power when he faced the Spirit Hall in the Pope's Palace. Letting Tang San obtain the Killing God Domain without knowing its full implications might come with unforeseen risks.

He sighed deeply but continued, "Xiao San, this domain is both a blessing and a curse. Whether or not to seek it will ultimately be up to you. But remember, any decision you make must be based on careful thought and preparation."

Tang Hao quickly dismissed his concerns. Regardless of its potential risks, the Killing God Domain had been a critical asset that helped him escape the Spirit Hall. Now that his time was running out, Tang San would need every possible resource to strengthen himself for revenge. The Killing God Domain provided a significant boost to a soul master's abilities. Even if there were risks involved, taking a chance for vengeance was worth it.

"The Slaughter City is filled with dangers and killing intent at every turn. Xiao San, unless you are prepared to face death and rise again, do not attempt to enter!"

Tang Hao decided against revealing the anomaly in his Killing God Domain during the battle at the Pope's Palace. Instead, he gave a solemn warning to Tang San. Then, pointing to the third map, he continued, "This map marks the location where the Haotian Sect went into hiding. The sect has fallen to its current state because of me. I owe the sect far too much. In the future, you must lead the sect to restore its former glory and wipe away the humiliation brought upon us by the Spirit Hall. When you return to the sect, if you encounter difficulties, seek help from your uncle and aunt. They will support you."

Tang San nodded resolutely. "Father, I will! One day, I will destroy the Spirit Hall and the Nine Stars Hall, avenge you and Mother, and restore the Haotian Sect to the peak of the continent!"

"Xiao San, after I die, bury me here, so I can always stay by your mother's side."

"Everything… everything depends on you now, Xiao San. As you walk the continent alone, be cautious in all things. You are your father and mother's only hope!"

With the heavy burden of vengeance and the revival of the sect placed on Tang San's shoulders, Tang Hao finally exhaled his last breath. His eyes lost their light, and the fire of his life was extinguished.

Thus passed Tang Hao, the great Haotian Douluo.

After Tang Hao's death, Tang San fulfilled his father's last wishes. He removed the six spirit bones from Tang Hao's body and buried his remains on a high ground by the waterfall, where the Blue Silver Emperor grew.

"Father, rest assured. I will avenge you and Mother. Whether it's the Nine Stars Hall or the Spirit Hall, I will annihilate them all!"

Standing before Tang Hao's grave, Tang San vowed. With his hatred fueling his resolve, he absorbed the two 70,000-year Haotian Sect legacy spirit bones left by Tang Hao and threw himself into an intense period of cultivation.
