Chapter 338: Tang San's Madness, Controlling Two Soul Beasts
After hearing Tang San's words, the two hundred-thousand-year soul beasts fell silent.
Ever since they had been attacked by Bibi Dong, their strength had greatly diminished, and they had been recovering ever since, unable to protect Xiao Wu.
As a hundred-thousand-year transformed soul beast, Xiao Wu not only faced the covetous eyes of human soul masters but also the same from many soul beasts in the forest.
For human soul masters, Xiao Wu's soul rings and soul bones, being from a hundred-thousand-year soul beast, were rare treasures. But for top-tier soul beasts, they could be considered cultivation treasures. Just like the Dark Devilgod Tiger and Soul Devouring Spider King before, if they could devour a hundred-thousand-year soul beast, it would definitely lead to unexpected gains.
Tang San continued, "Have you ever thought about it? To protect Xiao Wu, you must have absolute strength and be fully devoted to her. Only I can do this."
The Sky Blue Bull Python's eyes revealed a hint of despondency. "Tang San, you despicable person, if Xiao Wu knew what you're doing, how heartbroken she would be."
Tang San sighed. "If it hadn't come to this, I wouldn't have acted against you. After all, if you helped me, I could find other hundred-thousand-year soul beasts and complete the final trial of the Rakshasa God. Once I become the Rakshasa God, no one in this world would be able to harm Xiao Wu."
"Unfortunately, you've never agreed to help me because of some misguided sense of kinship with these hundred-thousand-year soul beasts, and that's why I've had no choice but to act against you. I have no time left, and the world doesn't have much time either."
"And if you don't want to hurt Xiao Wu, you wouldn't tell her what happened today. If Xiao Wu knows the truth, it will only hurt her, and she will be the one in danger."
Though the Titan Giant Ape and the Sky Blue Bull Python were hundred-thousand-year soul beasts, having lived for countless years, they had lived quite simply in the forest and never thought too much about things. Though they possessed the intelligence of adults, they had never seen the twists and turns of the human world, nor did they have the strategies or means to deal with problems that adults in the human world did, nor did they have much experience.
Now, hearing Tang San's words, they genuinely didn't know what to decide. If they told Xiao Wu the truth, as Tang San said, she might turn against him, and that would put her in real danger.
Moreover, Xiao Wu had been protected all these years by the two hundred-thousand-year soul beasts. To them, Xiao Wu was their family. They even deeply admired her but couldn't express it.
Now, having come to this point, the two hundred-thousand-year soul beasts knew that their chances of survival were slim. Their only hope was that Xiao Wu could survive and grow up happily.
For Xiao Wu's safety and future, it seemed there was no turning back.
The Sky Blue Bull Python gritted its teeth. "Tang San, you're cruel. You're using Xiao Wu to control us. I'll agree not to tell Xiao Wu about today, but you must spare Er Ming."
The Titan Giant Ape quickly spoke. "Big Brother, don't do this. All these years, you've been protecting me. Without you, I might have died long ago. If anyone should die, it should be me."
"Tang San, if you want to kill, kill me. I can become your soul ring and soul bone. I won't tell Xiao Wu about today. I only ask you to spare my brother."
The Sky Blue Bull Python quickly spoke again. "Second Brother, this is all my fault. Let me take it. If I hadn't insisted that we hundred-thousand-year soul beasts shouldn't harm each other, we wouldn't have come to this point."
…
Tang San watched the two hundred-thousand-year soul beasts about to quarrel and couldn't help but shake his head.
"Da Ming, Er Ming, today's events have come to this point. I'm sorry, but I have no choice."
"Today, I need two hundred-thousand-year soul rings and two hundred-thousand-year soul bones from you both. I am determined to obtain them."
"However, I can assure you that I won't let Xiao Wu know what happened today. In the future, I will do everything to protect her until she becomes a god with me."
"I've heard that once a soul master becomes a god, they can resurrect the sacrificed hundred-thousand-year soul beasts. I can promise you that once I become a god, I will bring you both back to life and reunite you with Xiao Wu."
The Sky Blue Bull Python replied, "Tang San, you're despicable. Can we still trust you? I don't want Xiao Wu to end up with you."
Tang San's eyes gleamed with determination. "No matter what happens, I will protect Xiao Wu. If it weren't for protecting her, would we have come to this point?"
"At this point, I still stand by my words: no one can harm Xiao Wu, unless they step over my dead body—even if they are gods."
The Sky Blue Bull Python and the Titan Giant Ape exchanged glances and finally showed a determined expression.
"Tang San, remember your words. If you dare harm Xiao Wu, even if it's to hell, we brothers won't let you off."
After the Sky Blue Bull Python said this, it began to emit a red glow. This glow seemed to be able to imprison the entire space.
The Titan Giant Ape also let out a roar. "Big Brother, we are brothers. Today, we both face death together."
Immediately, the Titan Giant Ape emitted a red glow as well, and the light covered the entire world.
Compared to the two hundred-thousand-year soul beasts, Tang San's expression suddenly changed. His face split into two halves, one eye was blood red, and the other was normal and dark.
Tang San seemed to be in some kind of conflict. "How could this happen? Why am I attacking Xiao Wu's brothers? Why am I attacking her family?"
Then, his other eye instantly emitted a red light. "I am the heir of the Rakshasa God. As long as I absorb two hundred-thousand-year soul rings, I'll reach level ninety-nine. Then, I will be the ruler of the entire world."
Before Tang San could finish his thoughts, the entire space was enveloped in blood-red light. Two extremely terrifying energies rapidly merged into Tang San's body.
This was the sacrifice of the two hundred-thousand-year soul beasts. During this process, no one could stop it. It was a unique rule of this world, and even the top-tier experts couldn't intervene.
…
Deep within the Star Dou Forest, Di Tian stared intently at the scene outside, his entire demeanor growing serious.
Eventually, Di Tian sighed. "Is it right or wrong to protect this Tang San? Master, is this what you saw in the future?"
"But I still can't understand. After investing so much in Tang San, is this truly beneficial for the development of our soul beast tribe?"
…
Outside the Star Dou Forest, in a certain town, a silver-haired little girl was strolling outside. She appeared incredibly pure, and anyone who saw her would feel that she was like a deity—untouchable.
This girl was the Silver Dragon King. Since leaving the Star Dou Forest, she hadn't gone to her intended destination and had been wandering outside, wanting to experience the world after having spent countless years hiding in the forest.
At this moment, the Silver Dragon King seemed to have sensed what was happening in the Star Dou Forest. Her face slightly changed.
"The world is unpredictable. Even though the future I predicted has changed, some things are still inevitable. That little snake and little monkey have still walked down this path, eventually becoming the soul rings and soul bones of humans. Perhaps even greater changes will occur in the future."
"My time is running out, and so is the time left for this world. For the continuation of our soul beast tribe, perhaps I should go and see the strongest in this world."
"It's strange. No matter how many times I calculate, I still can't feel Yang Xiong's aura or predict his future. Could it be that Yang Xiong is truly the variable of the Douluo world?"
…
In Wuhun City, Qian Renxue, who had been sitting calmly, suddenly opened her eyes.
"Interesting. I didn't sense Yang Xiong's aura, but I sensed an intriguing one. It seems that the Rakshasa God has chosen Tang San. To be able to break through his limits in such a short time and gain the Rakshasa God's favor, it looks like things in this world are about to get even more interesting."
"I just don't know what that woman will think. She worked her whole life, and in the end, she has nothing. The Wuhun Empire is no longer under her control, and even the Rakshasa God has abandoned her."
…
Compared to Qian Renxue, Bibi Dong was immersed in a frenzy, her face contorted in a way that showed she was losing control of her soul power.
"Why? Why? I am the true heir of the Rakshasa God. Why has the Rakshasa God chosen my enemy? Why has the Rakshasa God abandoned me? I can't accept this!"
"You think that by abandoning me, I have no hope? Even if I have to destroy the entire world, even if I fall into the abyss, I'll make the Angel Clan accompany me to the grave. I'll avenge the humiliation from all those years ago!"
Since Bibi Dong left Jia Ling Pass, she had been unable to enter the Rakshasa secret realm. Even the Rakshasa God's power was gradually dissipating from her body.
At this moment, Bibi Dong stood before a massive painting, which seemed to depict a great formation, or perhaps a malevolent spirit.
Bibi Dong's eyes turned blood red as she stared at the image.
"Since you won't give it to me, I'll take it myself. Even without you, I can still become a god."
Bibi Dong transformed into the massive Death Spider King, her body exuding endless black energy, with terrifying power drawn from the souls and corpses she devoured in Jia Ling Pass.
When she was in the Rakshasa secret realm, Bibi Dong didn't just gain the Rakshasa God's inheritance; she also obtained the formation capable of making her a god.
However, this formation was extremely bloody and violent, and it was too dangerous to use before.
But after devouring countless souls in Jia Ling Pass, she now had the key to activate this formation.
