Chapter 188 The Attack of Tang 3!
Chapter 188 Tang San's Attack!
Several days have passed since the turmoil at the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.
During this period, the entire sect was shrouded in a tense and mysterious atmosphere.
The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School took extremely strict confidentiality measures regarding the sudden visit of the Spirit Hall and the astonishing news of Sword Douluo breaking through to level 97.
Nevertheless, the methods used by spies from other forces lurking within the sect to transmit messages were so sophisticated that they were almost impossible to guard against, which meant that this confidential information was still leaked to some extent.
The news spread like wildfire across the continent, and the leaders of various forces began to reassess the strength and influence of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School. There were even rumors that the Spirit Hall might adjust its strategy toward the continent as a result.
In short, all the major powers have now set their sights on the Spirit Hall and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School. Their delicate relationship and possible future moves have become the hottest topic on the entire continent.
Spies and intelligence networks from all major powers are busy gathering any information that could potentially influence the future landscape.
They spared no expense, even venturing into dangerous situations, just to obtain crucial intelligence that could alter the balance of power.
In just a few days, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School killed countless spies who had discovered them.
At this very moment, deep within the distant Star Dou Great Forest, a horrific massacre is taking place!
A deafening roar resounded, shaking even the towering ancient trees around them, as if the earth itself was trembling.
This loud bang signaled the end of a fierce battle.
The aftershocks of the battle even affected the creatures in the forest. Many weaker soul beasts were frightened and scattered in all directions, while some powerful soul beasts alertly pricked up their ears, trying to catch a glimpse of the details of the battle.
The surrounding scene could only be described as horrific. Puddles of disgusting green liquid covered the ground, highly corrosive, rotting the surrounding trees, rocks, and plants beyond recognition, and emitting suffocating green fumes.
These corrosive liquids are clearly the secretions of some powerful spirit beast, and their power is enough to terrify any living being.
Corrosion by these liquids turned the once vibrant forest into a desolate wasteland, as if it had experienced an apocalyptic catastrophe. Among the traces of corrosion, several towering trees were snapped in half, and white spiderweb-like cracks could be vaguely seen in the dents on the trunks.
These traces indicate that a fierce clash of forces once took place here. Both sides in the battle clearly possessed astonishing destructive power.
At this moment, the original owner of this place, a bloodthirsty spider king with a cultivation of 80,000 years, was lying sprawled on the ground, its body devoid of vitality.
On the belly of the Bloodthirsty Spider King, a Haotian Hammer radiating a scarlet glow was firmly nailed.
"Phew—the fifth spirit ring for Blue Silver Grass is finally secured."
At this moment, Tang San looked exhausted. His body was covered with marks from the battle, and his clothes were tattered.
However, seeing the jet-black ten-thousand-year soul ring slowly emerging from the Bloodthirsty Spider King's body, an excited expression still appeared on his face.
Tang San went to great lengths to hunt down this bloodthirsty spider king.
He not only lurked around the Bloodthirsty Spider King and poisoned it for three whole days, but also used the Deadly Soul-Chasing Yama's Decree to inject a trace of Asura Divine Power into the Bloodthirsty Spider King's body.
Before hunting down the Bloodthirsty Pearl Emperor, Tang San had already completed the first four spirit rings of the Clear Sky Hammer, and all of them were spirit rings of extremely high quality, over five years old.
Only after ensuring that his strength had reached the peak of the Soul Saint level and making all the necessary preparations did Tang San dare to come and hunt down the Bloodthirsty Spider King.
However, it must be said that the strength of the Bloodthirsty Spider King completely exceeded Tang San's imagination. It was even more terrifying than the Human-Faced Demon Spider. In just 80,000 years, the Bloodthirsty Spider King had already unleashed strength close to that of a Title Douluo.
Even with the poison penetrating to his bone marrow and his meridians completely destroyed by the Asura God's power, the Bloodthirsty Spider King still managed to force Tang San to lose an arm.
During the battle, the arm was entangled by the Bloodthirsty Spider King's venomous silk and was instantly corroded down to bone. Tang San had no choice but to painfully sever it to prevent the poison from spreading throughout his body.
Even though the Bloodthirsty Spider King's meridians were destroyed and it was completely unable to use its soul power, it almost killed Tang San with the poison attached to its body and its terrifying physical strength.
Left with no other choice, Tang San had to destroy his spirit rings. In the end, he destroyed two ten-thousand-year spirit rings in a row before finally hammering the Bloodthirsty Spider King to death on the ground.
Strangely, even after losing his left arm, Tang San's expression remained unchanged, still showing a cold demeanor as he approached the Bloodthirsty Spider King's corpse step by step.
As Tang San approached the Bloodthirsty Spider King's corpse step by step, the red light in his eyes grew increasingly eerie. "Fourth Soul Skill, Blue Silver Devour!"
As Tang San finished speaking, the Blue Silver Grass around him seemed to hear the command and rose up from the ground like blood-red tentacles, quickly piercing through the corpse of the Bloodthirsty Spider King.
Immediately afterwards, streams of extremely pure life energy began to be continuously extracted from the Blue Silver Grass, flowing into Tang San's body like trickling streams.
The infusion of this life essence brought an indescribable look of enjoyment to Tang San's face. His body seemed to receive unprecedented nourishment at this moment, every cell rejoicing.
Even more shockingly, Tang San's left arm, which had been almost completely corroded during the fierce battle with the Bloodthirsty Spider King, was now just a pool of liquid remnants.
However, after this life essence was injected, an astonishing change began to occur at the site of Tang San's severed arm. The stark white bone gradually emerged from the liquid, and bright red blood and newly formed muscle tissue began to grow rapidly.
In no time, Tang San's injuries had completely healed. Even his left arm, which had turned into liquid, had returned to normal, as if he had never been injured at all.
Tang San's skin became smooth and elastic again, his muscles were full of power again, and he seemed to have been reborn.
As the saying goes, sorrow doesn't disappear, it just moves on. At this moment, the body of the once ferocious Soul-Devouring Spider King has been drained into a dried corpse. The once fresh body now resembles a zombie that has been dried for thousands of years, having lost all vitality and life.
Tang San's fourth soul skill is an extremely terrifying devouring skill. The origin of this skill is extraordinary; it comes from an extremely rare variant of the Human-Faced Demon Spider—the Devouring Ghost Spider.
Moreover, this Devouring Ghost Spider has a cultivation of 70,000 years, and its combat power is comparable to that of an ordinary 90,000-year-old soul beast.
Moreover, this kind of soul beast has a very disgusting characteristic: even if it is seriously injured and about to die, as long as there are living creatures around, the Devouring Ghost Spider can instantly devour their life force to survive.
This ability makes it virtually invincible in battle, because no matter how severe the injury, it can always find a way to recover and survive.
The surrounding spirit beasts, trees, and vegetation will become their source of power.
Therefore, even ordinary Title Douluos usually dare not easily provoke such soul beasts. Their terror and danger are enough to make any soul master be extremely careful when facing them, and dare not be careless in the slightest.
To be honest, even now, let alone when he was hunting for his fourth spirit ring, Tang San wouldn't have a chance of winning against the Devouring Ghost Spider.
It is likely that only a super Douluo-level powerhouse could instantly erase all the life force of the Devouring Demon Spider and kill it.
Tang San stated that his success in hunting the Devouring Ghost Spider was entirely due to his extraordinary wisdom.
As is widely known, the Light of the Sea God, as a symbol of the Sea God's divine power, possesses the magical effect of purifying all evil forces.
This power has a natural suppressive effect on evil creatures like the Devouring Spider.
Tang San was well aware of this, so he cleverly used the Devouring Spider's devouring properties to inject the Sea God's Light into its prey. This move was a stroke of genius, considering that the Sea God's Light Tang San released was a true God-King level Sea God's Light. This power was even stronger than the Sea God's Light of the current Sea God, Poseidon.
Even a few insignificant particles of light are an unbearable and fatal blow to the Devouring Spider. After the Devouring Spider devoured its prey infiltrated by the Light of the Sea God, the Light of the Sea God entered the Devouring Spider's body, leading to its destruction.
As for the mental shock of ten thousand years, Tang San has no need to worry at all. In Tang San's mental sea, there are two powerful artifacts, the Asura Demon Sword and the Trident of the Sea God, sealed.
The existence of these two divine artifacts made Tang San's mental strength exceptionally powerful, enough to withstand any soul-shaking attack.
Even the Bloodthirsty Demon Spider, with its cultivation reaching the Eight Directions Age, appeared utterly vulnerable before Tang San. Even a super soul beast like the Deep Sea Demon Whale King was instantly annihilated by Tang San's divine artifact.
It was precisely because of this terrifying soul-devouring skill that Tang San was able to absorb the life essence of each soul beast he hunted.
This ability not only rapidly increased his soul power level but also greatly enhanced his strength in a short period of time. By continuously absorbing the life essence of soul beasts, Tang San's soul power level jumped directly to level fifty.
Moreover, Tang San, after his rebirth, not only experienced a qualitative leap in strength, but more importantly, he was able to perfectly balance the conflict between his twin martial souls. This meant that he could add new spirit rings without any worries about the conflict between his martial souls.
However, in fact, Tang San's original plan was the same as in his previous life: after his Blue Silver Emperor Martial Soul broke through to level 70, he would add all of his Clear Sky Hammer Martial Souls to 10-year soul rings.
However, the pressure Huo Yuhao put on him was too great, so Tang San decided to go to the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well to absorb the immortal herb as soon as possible.
Huo Yuhao's talent and strength made Tang San feel threatened like never before. He knew that if he did not improve his strength as soon as possible, he might be at a disadvantage in future competitions, which is why he was so anxious.
After all, Tang San was not confident in facing Dugu Bo, a Title Douluo-level expert, relying solely on his Blue Silver Grass martial soul.
As for the problem of low age of soul rings in the early stages, there is now a solution.
Because Tang San discovered that his fourth soul skill, Devouring Blue Silver, was practically a divine skill.
The life essence absorbed through this soul skill can not only enhance soul power and Tang San's physical attributes, but also increase the age of his soul rings.
Therefore, Tang San decided that he must absorb more life essence from evil soul beasts in the future to increase the age of his soul rings.
As for why he wanted to absorb evil spirit beasts, it was because he had promised Xiao Wu that he would only absorb the spirit rings of these evil spirit beasts.
Sitting cross-legged beside the corpse of the Soul-Devouring Spider, Tang San began to guide the 80,000-year-old soul ring into his body. As the power of the soul ring entered, Tang San's soul power level finally broke through to level 50.
With the threshold of level 50 crossed, Tang San's soul power level began to rise rapidly, reaching level 55 in no time.
This wasn't just an improvement brought about by the spirit ring; the life essence he had absorbed before was also fully fed back to Tang San.
Tang San felt the changes in his body; his strength, speed, and reaction ability had all significantly improved.
"Ah, the feeling of having power is wonderful!"
Tang San let out a long sigh of enjoyment. The leap in his life level brought about by this increase in soul power made Tang San feel unable to extricate himself.
Tang San estimated that his strength had now fully reached the Soul Douluo level. Although his soul power level was only level 55, with the addition of this Bloodthirsty Demon Spider, he had absorbed the life essence of six soul beasts that were over 50,000 years old.
Therefore, Tang San's physical abilities have long since reached the level of a Soul Douluo, and he possesses the Clear Sky Sect's unique skills as well as many divine techniques, so his combat power is naturally incomparable to that of an ordinary Soul Douluo.
Moreover, Tang San estimated that once he added a fifth spirit ring to the Clear Sky Hammer, his physical attributes would definitely reach the level of a Title Douluo. At that time, Tang San would no longer be afraid of Dugu Bo.
Moreover, in this life, with the existence of this Soul Devouring Skill, Tang San can absorb even more essence from immortal herbs.
Ice and Fire were surrounded by immortal herbs, including many top-grade spiritual herbs. If they could absorb all of those immortal herbs, they might even reach the level of a Title Douluo within a few years.
"Huo Yuhao, just you wait! After I absorb the immortal herb, I'll make you pay!"
