In that instant, all the escaping spirit masters felt their bodies slow down, as if they were dumped into a stormy sea. Enormous energy pressed their mental worlds. Starting from the weakest, one spirit master after another went limp on the ground. They weren’t dead, but their spirits were broken, turning them into imbeciles.
Tang San’s control over spiritual force could be called meticulous. He didn’t kill any more, but what was the difference between killing these people and turning them into idiots? Spirit Hall’s spirit masters had been acting oppressively for so many years, especially inside the city, getting used to being arrogant and despotic, harming countless ordinary people. Ending up like this was fully deserved.
In the darkness, everything became quiet again. What Tang San used was strictly speaking one of the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud’s four abilities, now also branded onto his skull bone, the Vast Sea Wild Wave. A group mental attack ability. Even though the single target attack power couldn’t compare to the Purple Demon Eye, it won out in attack range. These spirit masters under rank sixty had no hope to resist.
Covering the Seagod Trident with a cloth again, Tang San strolled out of the spirit master encampment. What happened here would be discovered, so how could he wait for those unconscious soldiers to wake up again.
Tang San first found a night open public bath to wash. Even though he wasn’t stained with any blood, but that imperceptible smell of blood was something Xiao Wu couldn’t stand. He washed himself, changed his clothes, then hid himself and flew off, leaving the city. Once the sky turned bright, he had already brought Xiao Wu to the next city in the Spirit Empire’s Häagen-Dazs province.
West Lu City, early morning, before the sky was bright, all the high levels and nobles in the city were in an uproar. In the city guard spirit master encampment, of more than eighty spirit masters, forty six had met a violent death, and thirty seven had become idiots. The dead even included the Spirit Empire’s commander in West Lu City, Blood Axe Spirit Saint. For a moment, West Lu City was on the brink of panic. The city lord instantly ordered the city sealed, immediately sending people to report to Spirit Empire’s capital, Spirit City.
Of course, that city lord also understood that sealing the city was basically useless. How could the soldiers and officers under his command resist people with the strength to kill more than eighty spirit master? All he could do was pray that those killers wouldn’t come looking for him.
The Spirit Empire had their own communication methods. The news had already reached Spirit City in just one day’s time.
Hu Liena sat upright in the Supreme Pontiff’s official business hall, Yan and Xie Yue on either side of her. Reading the dispatch in front of her, she couldn’t help frowning.
Xie Yue said in a low voice:
“According to the report, the people we sent to West Lu City should have been ambushed, then completely annihilated. Moreover, the ambushers should all be experts, the majority of them were killed with blunt weapons. I know Blood Devil Axe Spirit Sage Stanford, rank seventy four. Tool spirit sage, quite considerable strength. One on one, I couldn’t defeat him. He actually died with every bone in his body broken, he should have been hit by a powerful spirit ability attack. Those people who turned into idiots should have suffered a mental type spirit ability attack.”
Yan slammed the table, saying angrily:
“It’s definitely Heaven Dou Empire’s people. They’ve got some guts. They actually dare ambush us. The loss of more than eighty spirit masters isn’t a small number.”
Xie Yue shook his head:
“It’s still too early to say. Even if those subordinate provinces have all acknowledged the empire, they were after all kingdoms and duchies before, it’s not out of the question for them to move. Every nation has a group of experts. Of course, this possibility would be quite low. It would be very difficult for even Title Douluo to kill so many of our people undetected, the enemy wouldn’t consist of a small number. Only attacking simultaneously from multiple directions could achieve this kind of result.”
Hu Liena’s brows tightened,
“It’s very difficult to judge the circumstances based only on this one document. It seems it’s necessary to make a trip. Her Majesty isn’t present, with something of this scale, if it can’t be handled appropriately, we won’t be able to account for it.”
Yan immediately said:
“Nana, let me go. I’ll bring a squad of elites. I can definitely catch the trail of those people. If it was Heaven Dou Empire, then once Her Majesty returns, isn’t that an even better justification to go to war?”
Hu Liena shook her head.
“No, I won’t be reassured if you alone go. Since they dare do this, there’s definitely some plot. I’ll go personally. Big brother, you and Yan take charge here.”
Xie Yue said:
“Sister, before Her Majesty left she put the empire’s affairs in your hands, how can you leave that easily?”
Yan immediately said:
“Yes. Nana, you can’t go. I’d be better.”
Hu Liena shook her head, her beautiful eyes showing her resolve:
“Listen to me, right now the empire is already on the right track, developing more and more prosperously with each day, and there are no enemies that would dare invade our Spirit City, nor anything major going on. But the occurrence in West Lu City is similar to the destruction of the Gengxin City Hall more than four years ago. It’s very difficult to tell who’s behind it. I received Her Majesty’s trust, I have to take a look at this personally to be at ease.”
After Spirit Hall founded a nation, Hu Liena’s status also rose like a boat with the tide. The title of Holy Maiden didn’t change, becoming the Spirit Empire Holy Maiden, her authority second only to Supreme Pontiff Bibi Dong, with the right to deploy the Spirit Empire’s armies and imperial spirit masters apart from Elder Hall. As time passed, her strength had also come to surpass Xie Yue and Yan by far, becoming the one of the Golden Generation most hopeful to break through rank seventy before age thirty. Even though Yan had always pursued her, Hu Liena had never feigned interest in that regard, putting her all into helping Bibi Dong establish the empire, as well as develop it, deeply earning Bibi Dong’s confidence. When she had made a decision, even Xie Yue couldn’t easily oppose.
“Nana, then won’t you please invite two elders to accompany you? The opponent isn’t weak, you can’t be in any danger.”
Xie Yue spoke with some concern.
Hu Liena shook her head:
“No need, Her Majesty already brought six elders away, there needs to be a few elders left to oversee Spirit City. Even if the enemy won’t likely attack here, the capital is the foundation of the empire, it can’t be allowed to be shaken. You deal with everyday affairs, and if a powerful enemy invades, ask the elders to act. As for me, you don’t have to worry. I’ll bring a Nirvana Squad with me. That’s enough to deal with any circumstances.”
Xie Yue smiled:
“That’s good. But be careful on the road anyway. Don’t let those provincial officials know who you are before you reach West Lu City. In the off chance they’re plotting something, you’ll still be safe.”
Hu Liena nodded:
“I’ll leave the imperial capital to you. I’ll leave immediately. If I hurry, I can reach West Lu City in four or five days.”
Done speaking, she stood and left with large strides.
Watching Hu Liena’s disappearing back, Yan couldn’t help sighing:
“Nana looks more and more like a leader, only……”
Xie Yue shot him a glance,
“Only what? Only she’s still rejecting your love?”
Yan smiled bitterly:
“Tell me Xie Yue, we grew up together, so why doesn’t Nana like me? I remember when we were small, she was still very good to me! Isn’t it because of that Tang San?”
Xie Yue said helplessly:
“Don’t ask me, I don’t know either. Only, I often see Nana look like something’s weighing on her. Don’t think too much about it, give up if there’s no hope. Speaking of. You’re also close to thirty, you should find a partner. Don’t get held up because of Nana.”
Yan said hatefully:
“It’s definitely because of that Tang San. That bastard pretending to be some Tang Yin, deceiving Nana’s feelings. Don’t let me see him again, or I’ll rip his corpse into ten thousand pieces.”
Cold light flashed in Xie Yue’s eyes,
“Tang San really is difficult to deal with. Even though I’m confident in you, if it really came to a one on one against him, do you have any certainty? Don’t forget how many people he finished back then when you had him surrounded. Each one had strength beyond his. This guy is too dreadful. Especially when that spirit beast lover of his sacrificed herself for him, he’s carried a bone deep hatred for us for a long time. Only, strangely, for these past few years, we’ve spent enormous manpower to track him down, but never found a clue. It’s a lot like he disappeared into nothingness.”
Thinking of Tang San’s strength in the Star Dou Great Forest back then, Yan couldn’t help being a bit disappointed,
“I really don’t know how that guy cultivated. Even when younger than us, his spirit power wasn’t lower than ours. But scariest were all those tricks he had. Anyway, nevermind him. Xie Yue, Nana wouldn’t be in danger when she’s gone?”
Xie Yue smiled:
“She’s bringing a Nirvana squad, what danger could she be in? Those are Her Majesty’s personally trained experts. They’re the strength our Spirit Hall has saved for decades. There are altogether five Nirvana squads, each led by five Spirit Douluo level powers, with another twenty Spirit Sage level experts. As long as it’s not at least three Title Douluo, there won’t be a problem. And they’ve also trained together for so many years, they’re extremely well coordinated. With these experts along, who could still touch Nana?”
Yan said:
“True, I’m worried for nothing. Only, I’m still concerned! To tell the truth, there really isn’t any other woman in my heart besides Nana. I believe I will definitely move her one day.”
Xie Yue and Yan’s confidence in the Nirvana squad was shaken over the next couple of days. In a short two days, the received five urgent reports in succession of the guarding spirit master regiments in five cities suffering devastating attacks one after another. There were unexpectedly no conscious survivors. Adding West Lu City from before, more than five hundred spirit masters guarding six strategic towns were either dead or idiots. The dead also had nothing in common with each other, the most miserable spirit master regiment died smashed to pieces. The loss of more than five hundred spirit masters, even the Spirit Empire which controlled the vast majority of spirit masters couldn’t take it!
But Xie Yue and Yan unfortunately could do nothing about it, they didn’t have the authority to deploy the Nirvana squads. Helplessly, they could only send one order after another for all cities and garrisoned Spirit Empire spirit masters to be alert, and prepare to respond to enemy attack at any time. After this, all they could do was wait for news from Hu Liena or for Bibi Dong to return.
……
Sitting cross legged on a hill, Tang San inhaled and exhaled the purple qi. Even though his Purple Demon Eye had already been cultivated to the Boundless level, he still didn’t abandon a cultivation habit formed over so many years.
The fresh and clean air seemed to carry away the bloody smell from his mouth and nose, and especially the sweet fragrance from the plants on the hill calmed his heart.
The constant killing wasn’t anything to Tang San’s strength, the Deathgod Domain had even improved somewhat, his spirit power was also only a narrow line away from rank eighty five. However, the constant slaughter also seemed to bring him back to that time in Slaughter City, and that bloody feeling made it very difficult to calm down. Tang San knew that he couldn’t keep going like this, otherwise he’d very easily lose his heart to the influence of the killing intent.
With killing several hundred Spirit Hall spirit masters in six towns in succession, his goal could also be considered reached. Due to the slaughter over these few days, he’d never dared let Xiao Wu out. As long as her soul wasn’t back in her body, he’d have her sleep in the Wishful Hundred Treasures Purse.
After finishing cultivation, Tang San stretched his whole body. Spirit power flowed like mercury into his limbs and bones, unspeakably comfortable, and he picked up the Seagod Trident from the ground. He was growing more and more fond of this divine instrument. He didn’t even need to release it’s true light, just that terrifying weight was enough to deal with a lot of problems. In these days of slaughter, Tang San hadn’t once released his Blue Silver Emperor spirit, just relying on spirit bone abilities and the Clear Sky Hammer and Seagod Trident to easily annihilate those guarding spirit master regiments.
He was actually secretly looking forward to meeting a somewhat powerful opponent, preferably a Spirit Empire Title Douluo. Like that, he could not only test the Seagod Trident’s true power once, but could at the same time also complete the five Clear Sky School elders’ last task.
Only, Title Douluo weren’t something you’d find lying about everywhere. In six cities, he had only met two Spirit Sages. He was currently a hundred li away from the city where he’d slaughtered last night, not far from the official road. Tang San had already decided not to keep killing and bring Xiao Wu to hurry to Star Dou Great Forest, completing his most important task.
Taking a look at the cloth wrapped Seagod Trident in his hand, the Blue Silver Emperor right leg bone exerted itself, pushing Tang San to soar up high, flying in the direction of Star Dou Great Forest. By his calculations, he could arrive in at most three days.
Tang San had been flying for a couple of hours when the sky suddenly changed. The sky that had been sunny and cloudless in the morning was gradually shrouded in clouds. A large expanse of clouds appeared in sight, blocking the warmth of the sunlight, cooling the air.
It was currently early autumn on the Continent, and the air temperature was still quite high. Travelling on a cloudy day like this would be a lot more comfortable than under the scorching sun. Tang San might as well use his full spirit power, and advance quickly.
Just at this moment, suddenly, Tang San’s pulse accelerated a few beats without reason, a throbbing feeling coming from his left hand.
What was going on? Tang San was alarmed, and hurriedly looked at his left hand. Immediately, he saw strands of black energy circle around his left hand, like silken threads, emanating slightly shuddering.
Hurriedly pulling up his sleeve, Tang San discovered that the same was the case for his entire left arm, spreading the whole way to his shoulder. The black energy contained an aura he was very familiar with, his second spirit, the Clear Sky Hammer. But, he didn’t trigger it, and he wasn’t cultivating either, so how could something like this suddenly appear?
Tang San had never been careless. Aware that there was a problem with the Clear Sky Hammer, he landed immediately.
The Clear Sky Hammer still didn’t have any spirit rings. Even though it had enormous potential, it still couldn’t compare to the eight ring Blue Silver Emperor. Tang San believed that even if it had some problem, he could still deal with it. Immediately, urged by his thoughts, he released the Clear Sky Hammer.
Black light flashed, and the Clear Sky Hammer appearing in Tang San’s hand throbbed once, transmitting a kind of excited feeling to Tang San. It was the excitement of bloodthirst. The Deathgod Domain pattern inscribed on the hammer had now turned completely blood red, clearly visible even in daylight, and moreover gradually emerging on the surface of the Clear Sky Hammer.
Bloodthirst, slaughter, terror, all kinds of negative feelings constantly spread from the blood colored pattern. Ever since obtaining the Deathgod Domain, this was the first time Tang San felt the Deathgod Domain react like this on its own. Generally speaking, this sensation should be felt by the enemies enveloped in the Deathgod Domain.
Tang San’s spiritual force was enormous, so he naturally wouldn’t be influenced by the Clear Sky Hammer’s aura. But he was very curious. Even though he had killed a lot of people before, by all reason, even if it had changed somewhat it should still be the Clear Sky Hammer, but it seemed like the problem was with the Deathgod Domain inscribed on the hammer. What was going on?
However, this couldn’t continue. Who knew what would happen if he was imperceptibly influenced by it. Immediately, Tang San used the most dependable method to deal with it. Golden light blossomed from between his eyebrows, glorious golden Seagod’s Light spreading out, enveloping the Clear Sky Hammer.
It really was as Tang San expected, even though the Seagod’s Light had no offensive power, it still stemmed from the Seagod’s aura, and under its influence, the Clear Sky Hammer’s Deathgod Domain instantly settled down. The changes on the hammer quickly calmed down, and Tang San felt the slightly irascible influence even he had suffered subsequently calm down. Tang San once again deeply experienced how the seemingly mediocre Seagod’s Light actually possessed nearly omnipotent capabilities. Even though it didn’t count as powerful, it had endless marvellous uses.
Just as he prepared to recall the Seagod’s Light and take a look at whether the Clear Sky Hammer would keep changing, suddenly, through the Seagod’s Light’s scan, Tang San discovered that the Deathgod Domain carved on the Clear Sky Hammer seemed to maintain a subtle spiritual force connection with the outside world.
If not for the Seagod’s Light, even Tang San’s boundless level spiritual force couldn’t have sensed its existence, but now he had still clearly discovered it. This trace of spiritual force was faintly discernable, containing exactly the same negative aura as the Deathgod Domain. This was also how it could elude Tang San.
This was…...
Tang San didn’t use the Seagod’s Light to sever this connection, but rather attentively tried to sense it. Very soon, he discovered the effect of this trace of spiritual force. That was, locating.
Indeed, someone actually used spiritual force to locate his Clear Sky Hammer. No, to be precise, it should be to locate the Deathgod Domain carved on it. Even if the Clear Sky Hammer was still within Tang San’s body before, it still always maintained this kind of locating effect. And the reason the Clear Sky Hammer changed seemed to be because the source of the spiritual force locating the Deathgod Domain was already very close to him.
Tang San of course had no idea what was going on, he couldn’t understand how this could occur. But to him, being located with spiritual force wasn’t a good thing. Even if he didn’t sense it before, since he had now discovered it, he would of course deal with the problem as soon as possible.
Without alarming that trace of spiritual force, Tang San very quickly used the Seagod’s Light to follow the trail, sensing the direction of that mental connection, then again soared into the sky. Holding the Clear Sky Hammer and Seagod Trident, he hurriedly flew towards that mental connection.
His heart filled with the desire to kill. Tang San had already decided that, no matter who it was that was targeting him like this, he definitely had to get rid of them. The secret existence of an enemy able to locate him was a mortal threat.
Accelerating with his full strength, Tang San’s spiritual force also firmly monitored that trace of mental fluctuations on the Deathgod Domain. Very soon, he discovered his choice was correct. That mental fluctuation was constantly growing stronger as he flew, and even suppressed by the Seagod’s Light, the Deathgod Domain on the Clear Sky Hammer was growing more and more excited. It wasn’t the feeling of backlash, but rather the excitement of finding kin.
Could it be Hu Liena? Tang San thought of a possibility. Back then, he and Hu Liena had obtained the Deathgod Domain at the same time, and only she possessed the same type of domain as he did. No, impossible. Hu Liena’s spiritual force couldn’t be this strong. Even though the spiritual force attached to his Deathgod Domain was extremely faint, it was as persistent as a bone maggot, that was impossible to achieve without a high mental level. By a conservative estimate, it should be a Title Douluo level power. Even if Hu Liena was quite talented, it was impossible for her to reach that kind of level in a short few years.
Moreover, as Tang San flew he had a kind of feeling like that trace of spiritual force connected to his Deathgod Domain hadn’t always been there, but rather something hidden in the Deathgod Domain that automatically activated as that source came within a certain distance of him. If that was the explanation then it was reasonable. Otherwise, if the spiritual force could have tracked his Deathgod Domain the whole way to Seagod Island, wouldn’t that be truly godly?
Just as he was thinking, the Deathgod Domain pattern on the Clear Sky Hammer suddenly flared with light, unexpectedly breaking through the restraints of the Seagod’s Light in an instant. White light glittered, and the Deathgod Domain actually automatically released without Tang San’s prompting, the enormous killing intent about to lash back at Tang San. Only, Tang San’s spiritual force really was too formidable, pale blue light spread out, boundless level spiritual force instantly counter attacking and taking back control over the Deathgod Domain.
Tang San discovered that his Deathgod Domain had become unprecedentedly powerful, formidable killing intent constantly rising, as if it would crush all things in the world. At the same time, that strand of mental connection from before suddenly became intense, doing its all to attack Tang San’s spiritual force, trying to take control of the Deathgod Domain.
Tang San laughed coldly, throwing off the cloth covering the Seagod Trident with a shake of his hand. Hovering in the air, he turned the head of the polearm to softly touch the Deathgod Domain pattern on the Clear Sky Hammer. At the same time, a ray of Seagod’s Light fell directly on that rhombic gem on the Seagod Trident.
Golden light just barely glittered once, light flitting across the Seagod Trident, a speck of golden light pouring into the Deathgod Domain pattern from the tip of the trident’s central blade. That quickly strengthening mental fluctuation was instantly forcefully severed.
The Seagod Trident contained a portion of the Seagod’s divine power. With this method, Tang San not only severed the other side’s connection with his Deathgod Domain, but moreover also cleanly wiped away the backdoor through which it was established. Similar circumstances would never occur again.
The reason Tang San did so really wasn’t because he was going to let them go, but rather because the spiritual force he scattered had already targeted the opponent’s position, there was no need for this mental fluctuation connection on the Seagod Domain. Looking down, the Blue Silver Emperor right leg bone launched its full strength, sending Tang San streaking downwards at an angle like a shooting star.
Very clearly, the person capable of targeting his Deathgod Domain was full of malice. Even though Tang San had already thoroughly dealt with the problem with the Deathgod Domain, he absolutely didn’t want to leave this kind of hidden enemy.
Tang San very soon approached his goal. Surprising him was that his spiritual force unexpectedly couldn’t reach inside that area. An intense aura of slaughter created a kind of special barrier, giving his spiritual force a feeling of chaos after entering. He could only vaguely sense an enormous killing intent and a blood red color.
Floating down into a forest, before he had set foot on the ground, Tang San already caught an intense bloody smell. Startled, he saw two corpses hanging in the trees not far away, their bodies so broken it was hard to tell they were human, and more like two lumps of ground meat. Giving him a strange feeling was that, even though there was a reek of blood in the air so intense it made people want to vomit, there wasn’t a single drop of blood to be seen. Those two corpses were all dead grey bone and flesh, without a trace of blood remaining.
Skilled experts are bold, and the scene didn’t intimidate Tang San, on the contrary affirming his conviction to find out more. From the tattered clothes of those two corpses he could tell that they should have been together. From the clothes, and also from the grain of the muscles, even though they were already ragged, his spiritual force examination could still determine that they were different from ordinary people. They should have been quite powerful spirit masters.
Inside the forest were marks of a violent struggle, the surrounding plants seriously damaged, and moreover with a lot of traces of corrosion. Raising the Seagod Trident in his hand, Tang San kept moving in the direction he determined with his spiritual force before.
Very soon he saw a few more corpses exactly the same as before, not one hadn’t died extremely miserably. A few corpses didn’t even have internal organs left. It was very difficult to believe that this was caused by humans, and seemed even more like the doings of savage spirit beasts. Could it be there was some formidable and vicious spirit beast here?
Speeding up, in the forest he constantly discovered one corpse after another. Finally, when Tang San saw the twenty third corpse, something different appeared ahead. A large expanse of red blood mist enveloped the forest in front, the sounds of violent spirit power collisions constantly echoing from within.
That’s right, it was blood mist, exactly the same nauseating blood reek as when he entered the forest before.
A miserable shriek echoed, clearly someone else had suffered. Immediately after, a cry of alarm Tang San was somewhat familiar with echoed from within the blood mist.
Even though he hadn’t heard this voice for many years now, Tang San still instantly recognized the owner, Hu Liena? Was it really her? What was she doing here?
This red blood mist was something similar to a domain, and Tang San naturally wouldn’t intrude rashly. That dense slaughter aura was somewhat similar to his Deathgod Domain, but even more wicked, and that stench of blood itself was intensely corrosive, and all the plants near the edge of the blood mist were being violently corroded.
With a cold snort, a circle of blue light spread out from Tang San. His Blue Silver Emperor launched, at at the same time, he also released his Blue Silver Domain. As the ruler of plants, how could Tang San stand still and watch so many plants suffer?
The blue light spread rapidly, not only covering the entire range of the blood mist, but also enveloping all the forest he passed through before. A surging vitality was aroused almost instantly, and prompted by the Blue Silver Emperor’s aura, the large forest made its counter attack. All the plants began to grow madly, the blood mist’s corrosive poison and the flourishing vitality of the plants weaving together. Each plant emanated a golden blue light at the same time as they grew, blocking the invasion of that bloody light.
Meanwhile, that surging vitality began to collide with the bloody aura, constantly filtering the harmful toxin. The blue ring of light filled with a breath of life began to spread through the forest, and with the support of Tang San’s Blue Silver Domain, these plants issued an incomparably enormous aura of vitality.
Life and death were two kinds of extremes to begin with, and the sudden explosion of life naturally influenced that blood colored death energy. Very soon, the scene in front of Tang San began to grow clear. Even though the bloody light was still there, the mist blocking his view began to gradually fade.
Several hundred meters ahead of him in the forest, there were now still three silhouettes constantly colliding, attacking each other. In a corner lay one shattered corpse. Strangely, that corpse was constantly releasing bloody mist, as if its blood was evaporating.
One of the three fighting was Hu Liena. Currently, her six spirit rings were constantly flashing, and each time that enormous foxtail behind her swung, it brought forth a surging energy. She emanated a ring of white light, enveloping her and another old man, blocking the invasion of the bloody light. But constantly assailing them was a red silhouette. When he laid eyes on it, Tang San couldn’t help being shocked, inwardly shouting. So it was him.
Blood colored robe, high necked cape, pale features. Tang San knew this person. It was astonishingly the ruler of Slaughter City he and Hu Liena met back then, the Slaughter King.
Compared to back then, the Slaughter Kung had undergone very large changes. His pale skin showed very faint blood lines, and on his forehead was a magic mark in the shape of a sword. Behind him a pair of enormous blood red wings were spread, integrating both attack and defense, as they could be used to attack, but also worked as two enormous shields. He was terrifyingly fast, and Hu Liena and that other old man forced into the flickering light were already in danger.
That old man fighting alongside Hu Liena had a full eight spirit rings, and the configuration was quite good. But the Slaughter King didn’t show a single spirit ring. But even so, Hu Liena and that old man could barely defend. It looked like they couldn’t hold up.
“You finally came? I’ve been waiting for a long time. In order to wait for you, I’ve let them live for this long.”
The Slaughter King’s voice didn’t hold a trace of humanity, only endless ice cold and evil.
The blood red silhouette swept past, and that eight ring old man screamed, his whole body seemed to be inked with the color of blood, and then exploded with a loud sound, ending up the same as all the corpses Tang San saw before. The blood within his body rushed out, constantly blending into the bloody light the Slaughter King radiated. But when he moved the red light could only suppress Hu Liena’s Deathgod Domain to reach that eight ring old man, and couldn’t harm Hu Liena.
“Tang San?”
When Hu Liena saw Tang San appear, for some reason, her heart relaxed. Even though that strange bloody light couldn’t kill her, one of the Slaughter King’s wings flapped, smashing her flying out to crash through two large trees.
When the blood color descended once again, Hu Liena’s body was already missing, a strand of Blue Silver Emperor twisted around her waist and brought her over to Tang San.
If it could be said that Tang San still held a good opinion of anyone in Spirit Hall, then that might be Hu Liena. Tang San had always remembered how they collaborated to pass the Hell Road back then, and even when Xiao Wu was ambushed in Star Dou Great Forest later, Hu Liena hadn’t stood against him.
Catching Hu Liena’s shoulder with his left hand, a mellow and rich Mysterious Heaven Skill was infused into her body.
Hu Liena belched, vomiting up a mouthful of blood. Her face had become deathly pale, but she still just about managed to breathe.
“What’s going on here?”
Tang San asked in a low voice.
Hu Liena leaned on Tang San’s shoulder, gasping for breath:
“I don’t know either. This monster suddenly appeared, attacking me and my people. His bloody light is weird. Inside its range, besides me who has the Deathgod Domain, the others couldn’t use any spirit abilities. Of the more than twenty people I brought, there were five powers at the Spirit Douluo level, and the remainder were Spirit Sages. But, weakened in his strange bloody light, he was constantly killing them. This freak is too terrifying. He said he came to find us for revenge.”
Listening to her, Tang San finally understood where that trace of mental targeting came from. It wasn’t Hu Liena, but rather this Slaughter King.
“Revenge? You two lowly creatures destroyed Slaughter City, even if your corpses were cut into ten thousand pieces it wouldn’t make up for Slaughter City’s losses. Tell me. Just which of you put poison in the grand blood river. Just what poison was it, take out the antidote and I’ll give you a quick death.”
The Slaughter King walked step by step towards Tang San and Hu Liena. He walked very slowly, but with each step forward he brought an immense pressure, making it difficult to breathe.
Confronting the Slaughter King, Tang San’s expression was as always. When he passed the first trial, in the Seagod’s Light, the pressure he faced was ten times, a hundred times greater than this, but he still successfully passed. No need to mention this situation.
Tang San calmly asked back:
“Slaughter City was destroyed?”
The Slaughter King’s ice cold blood red eyes were filled with hatred,
“It was you, it was you who destroyed my Slaughter City. Making my people die miserably from the backlash of the great blood river. It was you, wasn’t it, it was you……”
Tang San smiled,
“If it was destroyed then good. I didn’t waste an immortal herb for nothing. That’s right, I’m the poisoner, I’m the one who poisoned the blood river. Actually, that doesn’t count as a poison. That was a Snow Colored Swan Kiss, it only has one result, to cause excitement. The Bloody Mary in Slaughter City contained a slow poison that could let people grow even stronger through slaughter, and could also imperceptibly alter their minds and bodies. Therefore, I added such an immortal herb to that blood river, making that slow acting poison show its effect a thousand times faster. It seems my medical estimation was extraordinarily correct, I’m very honored to be able to become the destroyer of Slaughter City.”
“Bastard, the antidote?”
The Slaughter King was already almost unable to hold back, but in order to get the antidote, he still managed to endure his urges, and didn’t charge up and attack Tang San.
“Tell me your symptoms first?”
Tang San asked calmly.
The Slaughter King roared impatiently:
“I’m so hot, the important blood inside me is constantly evaporating, no matter how much blood I drink I can’t stop it. But I’ve also become even stronger, my body seems to be changing. But, I can’t control it. Antidote, give me the antidote.”
“Antidote? There is no antidote. What antidote would a beneficial immortal herb have? Truly a pity, why didn’t you perish along with that depraved world of yours? A degenerate kingdom like Slaughter City should never have existed in this world. Destroying it is meting out justice on Heaven’s behalf. Perfect. You’re here today too, then let’s finish it. Once I’ve wiped you from this world too, that degenerate realm will also have truly disappeared.”
“Bastard, I’ll kill you!”
Even had the Slaughter King been an idiot, he would now still have understood that Tang San was playing with him. The bloody light suddenly flourished, and with a flash he had already arrived in front of Tang San. Two blood red long nails thrust at Tang San’s chest like claws. At the same time, his dense bloody light also rose, rushing towards Tang San.
“Hurry up and use the Deathgod Domain, otherwise you can’t use abilities, you’ll be killed instantly.”
Hu Liena spoke anxiously, Doing her utmost to start her Deathgod Domain to protect her and Tang San. But at this time, Tang San threw her away, sending her flying several dozen meters away.
Intense blue light suddenly exploded from Tang San. In that instant, his body was like a ball of blue light. Next, tyrannical blue light instantly blossomed, and Tang San turned completely golden blue.
Blue Silver Avatar launched, and at the same time the Blue Silver Domain’s evolved ability Boundless Nature also launched.
The potent bloody light the Slaughter King released couldn’t only be stopped by the Deathgod Domain, but rather required domain abilities to resist, because that bloody light was in itself originally a kind of domain ability.
And through observing the previous battle between him and Hu Liena before, Tang San understood that even though the Deathgod Domain could guarantee Hu Liena could use spirit abilities, very clearly, the white light the Deathgod Domain released couldn’t completely block the Slaughter King’s red light. That was a suppression in domains. In other words, the Slaughter King’s domain was of a common origin as the Deathgod Domain, but it was above the Deathgod Domain, and so restrained it.
Just because of this, Tang San didn’t use the Deathgod Domain, and chose his Blue Silver Domain. This was the forest, the best battlefield for the Blue Silver Domain.
The surrounding world suddenly turned golden blue. Hu Liena closely followed Tang San with her eyes, and as she saw eight spirit rings extending from Tang San, she turned completely lifeless.
They hadn’t met in close to five years, he, he had actually become so powerful? Eight spirit rings, Spirit Douluo level strength. Four hundred thousand year spirit rings. Was this really a level humans could reach? Tang San’s current circumstances already far exceeded Hu Liena’s understanding.
As those red and blue lights started to violently collide in midair, fighting to control the empty space, the Slaughter King’s movements clearly became a beat slower when attacking Tang San, and Tang San swayed with his upper body, whis whole body releasing a blue mist.
Confronting the opponent’s attack, Tang San didn’t dodge. Or you might say, he basically didn’t think about dodging. Holding the Seagod Trident horizontally, he directly blocked the Slaughter King’s attack.
A loud explosive sound echoed. The Seagod Trident suddenly issued a ringing sound, and the Slaughter King pulled back as if electrocuted, his blood red eyes brimming with disbelief. The intense shocking force made both his hands tremble.
Tang San was equally surprised, he could feel the shock transmitted from the trident. Ever since obtaining this divine tool, this was the first time someone had caused this kind of slight tremble in the Seagod Trident with a frontal attack. Such strength. It seemed this Slaughter King’s strength wasn’t less than Seadragon Douluo. Only, how come he didn’t show any spirit rings?
The Slaughter King roared unwillingly, raising both hands on either side, one blood red ring of light after another rippling out from within him, the intense bloody light not only filled with the aura of corrosion, but also possessing a special energy fluctuation.
Instantly, sounds of compressed blasts constantly erupted from where the Blue Silver Domain and that red light touched. Tang San’s expression changed. Even though this was a forest, with a huge supporting effect to his Blue Silver Domain, he was shocked to discover that his domain actually couldn’t resist.
The Slaughter King cackled with laughter,
“How about it, how’s the taste of my Slaughter Domain? Compared to the Deathgod Domain you got, my Slaughter Domain is the strongest domain in Slaughter City, and it’s also a reduced version of the ability ban effect in Slaughter City. Do you think your plant attribute domain can resist? Slaughter Domain. It’s the world’s most potent domain. The ability ban attribute is established absolutely. You better use your Deathgod Domain, otherwise your spirit ring abilities will be completely useless.”
Tang San was secretly alarmed. It really was as the Slaughter King said, even though he still hadn’t come into contact with that bloody light, his body had already begun to separate from the spirit avatar state. The Blue Silver Domain could originally manage to compete with the opponent, but without the support of the Spirit Avatar it couldn’t sustain Boundless Nature, and was immediately forced back step by step, a formidable suppressing force coming head on.
But just at this moment, before the Slaughter King’s proud laughter ended, Tang San suddenly disappeared from his place.
The Slaughter King reacted very quickly, turning around practically subconsciously, the two giant wings swinging behind im like sharp blades. But, Tang San’s current position wasn’t behind him, but rather behind and above him.
Falling sideways, bringing up his left leg with a natural and fluent motion, it was also a red light filled with a wicked aura, falling from the sky like a giant hatchet. It was the Evil Spirit left left leg bone’s spirit ability, Orca Evil Spirit Hatchet.
Tang San was well aware that you couldn’t let the enemy lead you around by the nose in a fight. Even if the Deathgod Domain might let him use spirit ring abilities, the Deathgod Domain would be restrained by the enemy’s Slaughter Domain, that absolutely wasn’t a good thing for him. It would very possibly lead to him always being suppressed. Even though the Seagod Trident was formidable, the Slaughter King was incredibly fast, giving a feeling even more like an agility attack type spirit master. As long as he relied on speed for a roaming battle, it wouldn’t be easy for his Seagod Trident to show its power. Consequently, he chose to fight like this. After all, with five spirit bones, he had complete confidence.
Red light burst forth, the Blue Silver Domain was already completely shattered. Confronting Tang San’s attack, the Slaughter King snorted disdainfully, raising his left wing, he actually blocked Tang San’s extremely powerful single target attack just like that, and moreover swept him away. Spinning twice in midair, he once again relied on teleportation, and just managed to dodge the Slaughter King’s pursuit.
Besides Seagod Douluo Bo Saixi, there had never been anyone that could catch Tang San’s attack this easily, especially an excessively powerful attack like the Orca Evil Spirit Hatchet.
“Gaga, attacking the Slaughter King with evil energy, I can only feel sorry for you. Kid, you’re already enveloped in my Slaughter Domain. If you give me the antidote now, I can still leave you with an intact corpse. This is your last chance.”
The Slaughter King didn’t pursue, but instead stared fixedly at Tang San, his eyes even more focused on the Seagod Trident in Tang San’s right hand. Clearly, he was extremely wary of this weapon.
Tang San had suffered two setbacks in succession, but his expression still didn’t change. Listening to the Slaughter King, he suddenly smiled,
“By that, you shouldn’t be called Slaughter King, you should be called Evil King. You’re right, evil energy of course has to be resisted with the energy of justice. Do you really believe your Slaughter Domain is unparallelled? Unfortunately, your level is still far too lacking. Just let me use justice energy to to help purify you. You shouldn’t exist in this world.”
While speaking, Tang San raised the Seagod Trident, and the Seagod Trident brand on his forehead suddenly brightened. No matter how powerful this Slaughter Domain was, it still couldn’t stop him from using the ability that stemmed from gods, the Seagod’s Light.
Brilliant golden light turned into a pillar of light, shining perfectly straight down on that rhombic gem on the trident. Instantly, Boundless Nature burst forth. Intense light even more dazzling than the sun, rendered Tang San’s body completely golden.
At this moment, a dignified, divine aura filled the whole forest, and the previous wide expanse of vicious red light shattered.
What Tang san said about insufficient level, of course didn’t mean that the Slaughter King’s strength was below his, but rather that no matter how powerful the Slaughter Domain, it was still just a domain of the human world. But what this Seagod Trident possessed, was divine light.
Tang San had already started to figure out a way to defeat the Slaughter King since he saw him. Without a doubt, the ability the Slaughter King possessed was evil energy, and the Seagod’s divine power was definitely a just and honorable energy. Adding the difference in levels, this was why Tang San didn’t use his attack abilities all out before.
The divine power of the Seagod Trident spreading out immediately had an evil vanquishing effect, simply breaking through the Slaughter King’s Slaughter Domain, cleanly sweeping away the evil aura in the air.
At the same time, this was also the first time Tang San used the Seagod Trident’s power in a true sense. Through the connection of the Seagod’s Light, a torrent of information rushed madly into him from the Seagod Trident. Tang San was completely enveloped by the golden light of the trident, and his mind frantically absorbed the information reaching him. It was only at this moment that he truly understood how powerful the divine instrument he got from the seventh trial was.
Different from the mad rush of energy Tang San felt, as the Seagod Trident’s dark form turned golden, covered with a dazzling golden pattern, the golden light that dispersed with the rhombic Seagod’s Heart as center was calm.
The gentle golden light was filled with a radiant flavour, as if it would heal all pain, and also like it would awaken dormant life. However, this gentleness still held a stubborn attachment, to expel the darkness.
No matter how powerful the Slaughter Domain was before, even suppressing and forcing back Tang San’s Blue Silver Domain, at this moment, in front of a truly divine power, that wicked Slaughter Domain quickly melted like ice, broke like tile.
The Slaughter King was completely immersed within the Seagod Trident’s golden light, so much that he still maintained the previous stance with both arms spread, the two giant wings on his back unfolded, looking vicious and evil. Now, his body seemed to be frozen in place, even the malicious expression on his face was frozen. As if influenced by something.
Hu Liena had already crawled to her feet. Seeing this scene, she hurriedly covered her mouth. If the feeling the vicious and powerful Slaughter King gave her before was beyond terror, then the strength Tang San now revealed gave her heart a kind of fantastic and complex feeling.
It was happiness for Tang San’s strength, but at the same time also a deep grief over how formidable he was. She understood too well that the enmity between Tang San and the Spirit Empire couldn’t be settled. He would only be the empire’s enemy. Having an enemy like this clearly wasn’t a good thing for the empire. If he was still in his twenties, but already had the power to contend with Title Douluo level powers, then, in ten years, twenty years? What would he be like then?
Hu Liena’s mind was already in chaos, blankly watching Tang San, feeling that golden light warm her body and disperse the fear in her heart, she didn’t know how she would face Tang San.
The scene of the battle was a bit strange. Both sides stood there motionlessly. Tang San was suffering the enormous information attack from the Seagod Trident, and was unable to move for the moment. But the Seagod Trident also seemed to have merged together with him, plating his body with a bizarre defensive energy.
And the Slaughter King was frozen in the divine light the Seagod Trident radiated, clearly influenced by that evil vanquishing force. But his body was also just frozen there, without undergoing any significant change.
Time passed second by second. The golden light over Tang San’s body began to grow more and more intense, the Seagod Trident in his hand even more emitting ten thousand rays of light, each magic line on its surface becoming exceptionally distinct.
