Chapter 354: Fisherman?
Wuhun City, Pope Palace.
Bibi Dong suddenly opened her eyes, her gaze fixed intently on the Sunset Forest to the north.
"A new Evil God has sent down a legacy!"
Evil Gods actually refer broadly to the god positions of certain evil powers within the God Realm.
The power of the Evil God within the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger comes from a certain Evil God god position in the God Realm.
Bibi Dong's Rakshasa is also one of the Evil Gods.
Evil Gods are mainly divided into two parts.
One part is led by the God of Destruction, and the First-Class Gods under his command, the Seven Original Sin Gods, are actually all considered Evil Gods, though not all god positions under Destruction are Evil Gods.
The remaining portion of Evil Gods is led by the God of Evil, and all god positions under the God of Evil belong to the Evil Gods.
Judging from the aura of the divine sense in the legacy Tang San received, although it is not as powerful as the auras of the Sea God or Rakshasa, it is only slightly weaker.
If it is a Second-level God, it is at least a top-tier existence among Second-level Gods, or perhaps a slightly weaker one among First-level Gods.
An invisible ripple spread out; in the sky, Tang San stood up abruptly and suddenly burst into loud laughter, "A god position! This world actually has gods! And I have even obtained his legacy!"
"It is still unclear how many god positions there are in this world; it is possible that someone in the Wuhun Empire has also inherited a god position, but I already have the capital to reach higher-level power." Tang San's arrogant laughter gradually subsided, his expression grew calm, yet madness still flickered in the depths of his eyes, "As long as I inherit the God Position, these mortals will be nothing but ants!"
At this moment, Tang San had a new goal: to become a god! And to take revenge!
Raising his hand to pull, the ink-colored Dark Blue Silver Grass transformed into vines, instantly breaking through the withered trunk of the dragon-shaped vine, bringing out a dark blue trunk soul bone, which then merged into his body.
A Ten-Thousand-Year Spirit Beast must drop a soul bone, and the soul bone of this dragon-shaped vine spirit beast was precisely a trunk bone.
After another three hours of absorption, the ink-colored light completely merged into Tang San's body, emitting powerful soul power fluctuations.
"Level 93?" Shi Quan whispered softly; the Ten-thousand-year Spirit Ring plus the soul bone and the energy accumulated within his body allowed him to break through directly to Level 93.
Looking at the strange, crisscrossing ink-colored mark on Tang San's forehead, even Shi Quan could not see through the specific source of his god position legacy.
In order to rapidly increase his strength, Tang San did not leave the Sunset Forest immediately, but continued to search, appearing to be preparing to attach a soul ring to his Clear Sky Hammer.
Tang San's target for the soul ring of his Clear Sky Hammer martial soul was very clear: at least a spirit beast of over 50,000 years. Of course, if he could find a Ten-Thousand-Year Spirit Beast, that would naturally be best, but the Sunset Forest was only so large, and he was already very lucky to have found such a Ten-Thousand-Year Spirit Beast in this Poisonous Miasma Land.
Although there were not many spirit beasts in the Sunset Forest with cultivation over 50,000 years, they were by no means as rare as Ten-Thousand-Year Spirit Beasts.
Under Tang San's search, he soon attached four soul rings to his Clear Sky Hammer.
One of them was the soul ring that originally belonged to Tang San's Blue Silver Emperor in the original story, the Earth Cave Spider Emperor.
The reason he did not add more soul rings to the Clear Sky Hammer was not because there were no more spirit beasts with over 50,000 years of cultivation in the Sunset Forest, but because there were none left suitable for the Clear Sky Hammer.
Four soul rings of over 50,000 years also caused Tang San's soul power level to leap forward to Level 95. This finally gave Tang San some confidence in his own strength.
But even so, he still felt it was not quite stable enough. To obtain better soul rings, the Star Dou Great Forest was undoubtedly the best place to go, but the Star Dou Great Forest hid too many crises for him, and he was not prepared to take risks in the Star Dou Great Forest before he had absolute power to protect himself.
"Want to increase your strength quickly?" Shi Quan touched his chin, a smile curling the corners of his mouth, "Then I shall guide you, and incidentally test the divine sense in his mind."
Invisible divine sense permeated the area; the blood-colored patterns on Tang San's Clear Sky Hammer emitted a faint killing intent. Suddenly, an evil aura erupted from Tang San's forehead, and the crisscrossing marks emitted a black demonic light, forcefully suppressing the killing intent on the Clear Sky Hammer.
Tang San was stunned for a moment, not understanding why the Killing God Domain on his Clear Sky Hammer had suddenly triggered, but it was clear that the divine sense in his mind did not seem to like the Killing God Domain very much.
Then, thinking of something, a bloodthirsty smile appeared in the depths of Tang San's eyes, "How could I have forgotten? Slaughter City is a great place for me to cultivate! Since they are all extremely evil people anyway, it is their honor to be able to assist me on my path to godhood!"
Shi Quan watched Tang San's figure disappear into the distance, his own figure slowly emerging from beneath the Earth.
Sure enough, the god position trial contained the divine sense of the trial god. Fortunately, Shi Quan did not directly invade Tang San's sea of consciousness, otherwise he would have been discovered by this hidden divine sense. However, the effect he wanted to achieve had been reached; inspired by the Killing God Domain, Tang San had very honestly and proactively headed in the direction of Slaughter City.
The destination of Shi Quan's journey north was Slaughter City, or more accurately, the Slaughter King of Slaughter City.
Shi Quan's speed was naturally faster than Tang San's; with a shift, he soon arrived outside Slaughter City.
He controlled his own aura to within that of a Title Douluo.
"Slaughter King!" Shi Quan's voice passed directly through Slaughter City and reached the ears of the Slaughter King.
Inside Slaughter City, the Slaughter King, immersed in the wails of slaughter, suddenly opened his blood-red eyes and looked outside Slaughter City.
"If you don't want Slaughter City to be destroyed, come out and meet me." Shi Quan's voice came again.
The Slaughter King's expression changed abruptly; his eyes stared fixedly at the location of Shi Quan, a pair of huge blood-red wings spread behind his back, and his figure instantly vanished from where he stood.
The arrogant blood-colored figure instantly appeared in the high sky of Slaughter City. Seeing the Slaughter King appear, Shi Quan turned and flew toward the south of Slaughter City. The Slaughter King, unable to figure out Shi Quan's intentions for a moment, followed from a distance and asked coldly, "Who are you? What did your words just now mean?"
"Follow me and you will know." Shi Quan said calmly, his speed not decreasing. In just a moment, they arrived a hundred miles outside Slaughter City.
After roughly estimating the position and time, he stopped above a desolate forest.
"You had better give me a satisfactory answer!" The Slaughter King's pale face was now full of violence, having already lost his patience.
Shi Quan laughed softly, "Win against me first!"
"You seek death!" The Slaughter King had never suffered such provocation; enraged, he laughed instead of getting angry. His figure unfolded, his two huge wings flickered slightly, and the blood light all over the Slaughter King's body suddenly burst forth. With a flash, he was already in front of Shi Quan, his two hands, which had long blood-red nails like claws, lunging straight at Shi Quan's chest. At the same time, the thick blood light on his body also erupted suddenly.
The overbearing blood light released by the Slaughter King was the advanced version of his Killing God Domain—the Killing Domain. His Killing Domain was a very overbearing domain with only one effect: magic prohibition. It could be said to be a miniature version of Slaughter City, capable of rendering all of an enemy's Soul Ring Skills unusable.
The Killing Domain was indeed powerful, but it was not impossible to counter; as long as one's own domain was powerful enough, one could exempt oneself from this magic-prohibition ability.
Ordinary people would certainly panic under the influence of the Killing Domain, but Shi Quan had long known about the Slaughter King's Killing Domain, so how could he be flustered?
Shi Quan's figure instantly became ethereal. As he raised his hand and gripped, golden light condensed in his palm, transforming into the Dragon Spine Xuanyuan. Invisible ripples collided violently with the blood-colored light in the air.
Facing the Slaughter King's attack, Shi Quan did not dodge; he held the Dragon Spine Xuanyuan horizontally and slashed directly at the Slaughter King's attack.
Amidst a thunderous roar, the Dragon Spine Xuanyuan actually emitted a slight hum, while the Slaughter King was sent flying back as if struck by lightning. His blood-red eyes were filled with disbelief, and a gash had appeared on his blood-colored sharp claws, causing both his hands to tremble.
"A Divine Artifact?" The Slaughter King was both shocked and furious, growling in a low voice, "Is this your confidence?"
With a roar, the Slaughter King raised his hands to the sides of his body, and circles of blood-colored halos rippled out from his body. The powerful blood light was not only filled with a corrosive aura but also possessed a special energy fluctuation.
In an instant, dense explosions erupted continuously from within the blood light, and the blood-colored light suddenly surged, pressing toward Shi Quan.
Shi Quan was not flustered in the slightest, his figure moving immediately.
The Slaughter King reacted quickly, his body turning almost subconsciously, his two huge wings whipping behind him like sharp blades.
The brilliant golden light and the thick blood light touched, and the Dragon Spine Xuanyuan collided with them.
"You are too weak!" Shi Quan sneered, his gaze glancing unconsciously into the distance, and the Dragon Spine Xuanyuan in his hand suddenly erupted with terrifying golden light!
Imperial Might is vast!
The overbearing pressure immediately caused the Slaughter King's movements to pause. In that very instant, eight brilliant golden lights exploded from behind Shi Quan, the Holy Dragon Eight Wings suddenly unfurled, and an ultimate sacred aura erupted forth.
The brilliant golden light transformed into eight pillars of light, piercing straight through the Slaughter King. The intense radiance was even more blinding than the sun, instantly purifying the blood-colored light and dyeing the Slaughter King's body golden as well.
A sacred, oppressive, and overbearing aura filled the entire forest.
"This... what is this power! Let me go! Quickly let me go!" The Slaughter King struggled in agony, his pale cheeks shrouded in terror.
The Slaughter King's body was completely bathed in the sacred light of the Holy Dragon Eight Wings, and the two enormous wings on his back spread out, looking incredibly ferocious.
The Blood-Red Nine-Headed Bat inside the Slaughter King's body was actually just a Soul Soul entity. Although it occupied Tang Chen's body and possessed control over it, it was in reality just water without a source and a tree without roots. Tang Chen's consciousness had not been annihilated by it, and the strength it could exert was at most around level ninety-six or ninety-seven.
It was only because the Killing Domain was too unique that ordinary people simply could not deal with it.
However, no matter how strong the Killing Domain was, it was merely a domain of the mortal world.
The Holy Dragon Eight Wings contained the Golden Holy Dragon bloodline and possessed the purest Divine Power. Moreover, the current Holy Dragon Eight Wings had already achieved a Shiji Breakthrough, and its powerful purifying and Soul Devouring power forcibly broke through the Slaughter King's Killing Domain, sweeping away the evil aura in the air.
Through the suppression of the Dragon Spine, he controlled his own Mental Power to the limit of level ninety-nine, directly coordinating with the purifying and Soul Devouring power of the Holy Dragon Eight Wings to charge into the Slaughter King's sea of consciousness.
Soul Devouring!
"Ah!!!"
Shrieking, miserable wails of a soul rang out from within the Slaughter King's body.
At this moment, the Slaughter King finally underwent a change. The sword-shaped blood-colored Magic Pattern on his forehead flowed with red light as if it were alive. The light gradually turned from dim to intense, and a layer of hazy red radiance emerged on the surface of his body. This layer of hazy radiance actually blocked some of the divine light released by the Holy Dragon Eight Wings.
The Slaughter King's originally pale complexion also began to shift; the white was gradually replaced by an unhealthy flush. The wings on his back shattered inch by inch, turning into fly ash and disappearing under the bathing light of the Holy Dragon Eight Wings. His hair also gradually changed from red to black, and the same change appeared in his eyes. From head to toe, the only thing that remained red was the Magic Pattern on his forehead.
The most terrifying thing was the killing intent on his body, which, like his strength, began to grow exponentially. The originally evil aura within the red light vanished completely, replaced by the purest killing intent.
As the killing intent increased, the hazy red radiance around the Slaughter King gradually brightened.
In the distance, Tang San watched this scene in the air with a look of shock.
He recognized the Slaughter King, and he also recognized Shi Quan, who was battling him.
He just hadn't expected to encounter these two fighting here. Naturally, he could not have guessed that this battle was actually prepared for him by Shi Quan.
Tang San naturally wished for Shi Quan and the Slaughter King to both be severely injured, but the strength Shi Quan displayed was not the least bit weaker than the Slaughter King opposite him. Even from watching from afar, Tang San could clearly feel the faint sense of oppression emanating from Shi Quan.
"Why is his strength increasing so fast!" Extreme hatred permeated Tang San's heart, and his fingernails were already embedded into the flesh of his clenched fists. Although he was hateful, he still controlled his emotions well. His eyes stared fixedly at the two fighting in the distance, and he appeared both manic and ferocious.
The Slaughter King's aura was currently climbing crazily, and Tang San could feel the pure killing intent and terrifying pressure radiating from the Slaughter King.
Although he did not know why the Slaughter King's strength had suddenly climbed so much, this was a scene he was very happy to see.
With the strength of the two, if they fought to the death, even if they weren't both severely injured, one side would suffer heavy damage, and this was an opportunity for him!
If he took this opportunity to kill Shi Quan, he would directly eliminate a major threat. If the Slaughter King was defeated, that would also be good news for him; with Slaughter City left without a leader, he could just happen to take advantage of the situation. No matter which situation it was, he would be the fisherman reaping the benefits of the struggle between the snipe and the clam!
