Chapter 288: A Chance Encounter with Dai Mubai

Putting the mirror back into the Twenty-Four Moonlit Bridges and standing up from the ground, the eight sharp Spider Spears pierced straight into the giant blood-ink colored sunflower corpse beneath him.

That Tang San was able to choose it from among so many Spirit Beasts as his Seventh Soul Ring naturally meant it had its extraordinary aspects.

This sunflower was named the Shadow-Erosion Soul-Devouring Sunflower; this type of Spirit Beast originated from the deep underground and was an evil existence formed by the combination of dark power and the bones and souls of deceased creatures, belonging to the top tier of Spirit Beasts, possessing powerful dark power and Devour ability, capable of devouring the souls and life force of living beings.

Judging from the diameter of this Shadow-Erosion Soul-Devouring Sunflower, the Spirit Ring Year Limit was at least over seventy-two thousand years, and the fact that Tang San's bloodline could awaken was also in no small part due to the Shadow-Erosion Soul-Devouring Sunflower.

"Level seventy-two." Before long, the Soul-Devouring Eight Spider Lances behind Tang San tore apart the withered leaves of the Shadow-Erosion Soul-Devouring Sunflower, and as he slightly clenched his fist, feeling the surging power within his body, his expression was full of satisfaction.

"Hm?" Looking into the torn withered leaves, Tang San suddenly discovered with pleasant surprise a soul bone!

This soul bone was pitch-black in color, as if it had merged into the darkness, making it impossible to detect; normal soul bones would have some fluctuations of soul power, especially in a Spirit Beast corpse that had been devoured clean by him, where one could easily discover the soul bone within with just a little investigation.

"Boss Dai?!" Tang San's pupils constricted, and he recognized the man's identity at a glance.

Tang San's figure disappeared from where he stood, beginning a new round of devouring and hunting.

After leaving the Sunset Forest, Tang San headed all the way south, devouring as he went, until he arrived at the Star Luo Empire.

In order to hide his tracks, along the way, even when passing through a Spirit Beast Forest, he did not devour wantonly; every time he devoured more than twenty powerful Spirit Beasts, he would quickly move on to prevent leaving behind any handles.

Before he could even react, a familiar voice came from within the black mist, "Boss Dai."

Dai Mubai only felt the world before him go black, and the next second the Demon God Tiger disappeared from his sight, shrouded by a mass of black mist, followed by the shrill wailing of the Demon God Tiger from within the black mist.

Fighting against it was a man with broad shoulders and a very tall stature, with short golden hair that was just a bit messy, a handsome face covered with three hideous scars that appeared exceptionally ghastly, and coupled with a pair of evil eyes, he appeared even colder, giving people a chilling feeling.

"Produce the evidence!" Dai Mubai's pair of evil eyes were full of cold light; in reality, he had already prepared to flee, as the mysterious person before him, who could easily deal with the Demon God Tiger, was clearly not someone he could handle.

Roar!

A passionate tiger roar came from afar, and two violent soul power fluctuations collided continuously.

Tapping his feet lightly, with ink-colored dark aura permeating his body and under the shroud of the Dark Domain, Tang San's whole person seemed to have merged into the shadows.

Soon, a Demon God Tiger covered in Magic Patterns appeared within Tang San's field of vision.

"Are you really San?" Dai Mubai's expression finally eased.

"Haha, fortune follows misfortune; there actually turned out to be a soul bone. If I absorb this soul bone, I fear my Martial Soul True Body will be even stronger." Tang San was excited, and with a light flick of his Soul-Devouring Eight Spider Lances, the ink-colored soul bone landed in his hand.

One hour later.

"Who are you?" Dai Mubai retreated violently, his pair of evil eyes full of wariness as he looked at the strange young man before him, because although the young man's voice was familiar, in terms of appearance and temperament, there was absolutely no such person in his memory.

Moreover, he had no fixed route at all; every time he left a forest, he would randomly change direction, as long as the general direction remained towards the Star Luo Empire.

Tang San slowly stopped his footsteps, his blood-colored eyes slightly narrowed, "A ten-thousand-year-level tiger-type Spirit Beast, the year limit has just reached ten thousand; the opponent should be a Spirit Master, but why does this aura feel somewhat familiar?"

Tang San opened his eyes again and raised his hand to clench his fist once more, "My physical strength has increased again, and the upper limit for the next Spirit Ring Year Limit can be raised quite a bit more. After absorbing the Eighth Soul Ring, I can almost try to attach a soul ring to the Clear Sky Hammer; by then, my strength will definitely be able to surge in a short period of time."

"There is also the Twenty-Four Moonlit Bridges." Tang San pointed again at the Soul Guidance Device at his waist.

With his Mental Power scattered to ensure there was no one around, Tang San acted decisively.

Under the powerful offensive of the Demon God Tiger, Dai Mubai could only dodge continuously, already showing signs of fatigue.

It was a right Arm Bone; as the soul bone entered his hand, Tang San immediately felt the dark aura within it rushing wildly into his body, and without the slightest hesitation, Tang San directly began to absorb it.

"My Blue Silver King has undergone some changes, you don't recognize it, but you surely recognize the Clear Sky Hammer, right? And the Eight Spider Lances." Tang San shook his head, raised his left hand, and a blood-colored Clear Sky Hammer appeared in his hand, while at the same time the Soul-Devouring Eight Spider Lances unfolded behind him.

The ink-colored Dark Blue Silver Grass instantly bound the Demon God Tiger, and the Dark Domain shrouded it instantly.

"Shi Quan... Dugu Bo..." Tang San muttered the names of the two with eyes full of malice, his whole body radiating a soul-devouring killing intent, "Soon, soon..."

He did not choose to enter the Star Dou Great Forest to devour, firstly because he was worried that his devouring would attract the attention of those powerful existences deep within the Star Dou Great Forest.

"San?" Feeling the intimacy coming from the voice, Dai Mubai hesitated and called out toward the black mist.

"Go over and take a look."

Seeing this, Tang San could not help but give a wry smile, "Boss Dai, I really am Tang San, it is just that due to some special reasons, my appearance has undergone some changes."

Dai Mubai's current state was not good; his evil eyes held undisguised exhaustion, the aura around his body was also somewhat messy, his clothes were stained with blood, and it looked like he was also carrying injuries.

"It is me." Tang San walked slowly out of the black mist.

But this soul bone was very special; it actually did not have a trace of energy fluctuation, and if it weren't for his habit of breaking open the corpses of Spirit Beasts, he might have missed such a top-grade soul bone.

Seeing this, Dai Mubai's expression clearly paused, and he also confirmed Tang San's identity, because martial souls and soul bones could not be imitated; although Tang San's Blue Silver Grass martial soul and Eight Spider Lances soul bone had both undergone significant changes, that unique Twin Spirits also helped Dai Mubai confirm Tang San's identity.

The second reason was that ever since he heard that Shi Quan was under the protection of Spirit Beasts, Tang San speculated that there might be Shi Quan's eyes and ears among the Spirit Beasts of the Star Dou Great Forest, so in order not to expose his tracks, he directly gave up on the Star Dou Great Forest.

"Of course." Tang San nodded in response, raised his hand and waved, and the black mist behind him dissipated; the Demon God Tiger had already fainted and collapsed on the ground, "Boss Dai, why have you become like this..."

A sense of loneliness and sorrow could not help but emerge in Dai Mubai's expression, "It is a long story..."
