Chapter 240: The Seventh Trial Completed, Tang San Is About to Become a God
"Heh, you two beasts, watch me, Tang San, claim you today."
Tang San was determined to obtain the Titan Giant Ape and the Sky Azure Bull Python.
"Seventh Soul Skill: Man-Faced Spider Emperor True Body!"
"Eighth Soul Skill: Abyss Spider Silk!"
Following Tang San's two furious shouts, an incomparably ugly dark-purple phantom of the Man-Faced Spider Emperor appeared above him.
At the same time, the lower half of Tang San's body transformed into eight spider legs.
The Man-Faced Spider Emperor phantom overhead spat out strand after strand of spider silk imbued with the Spider Emperor's poison as they shot toward Da Ming and Er Ming.
Seeing this, Da Ming immediately launched a counterattack.
"Sky Azure Fading Thunderclap!"
Thick bolts of purple lightning surged forth, covering an area a thousand meters in radius.
The terrifying lightning not only shattered Tang San's Eighth Soul Skill, Abyss Spider Silk, but also continued toward Tang San himself, intending to kill him on the spot.
"Clear Sky True Body, appear!"
Tang San roared as the Clear Sky Hammer in his hand suddenly expanded, forming a gigantic Clear Sky True Body dozens of meters tall.
Wielding the immense hammer, overwhelming soul power swept across the surroundings as he smashed apart the incoming Sky Azure Fading Thunderclap blow after blow.
At that moment, Er Ming also charged in.
Carrying the might of the Titan's Strength while simultaneously activating his Gravity Control Domain to restrain Tang San, he threw a punch that struck the Clear Sky True Body.
The tremendous force transmitted through the Clear Sky True Body sent Tang San flying backward dozens of meters. He crashed through several large trees before finally coming to a stop.
Only a short while later,
Tang San stood back up. Wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth, a crazed smile spread across his face.
"You two beasts do have some ability."
"But your fate today will not change!"
With those words, the seventh hundred-thousand-year soul ring on Tang San's second martial soul, the Clear Sky Hammer, exploded.
"Clear Sky Supreme Technique, Great Sumeru Hammer!"
The aura of the Clear Sky True Body instantly surged, greatly increasing his strength.
However, that alone was not enough to make Tang San so arrogant.
Although he had reached the Titled Douluo realm, he was only a rank 92 Titled Douluo.
Even though his combat power far surpassed others of the same rank, and the exploding ring technique greatly increased his strength, the greatest power he could unleash was only around that of a rank 95 or rank 96 Super Douluo.
Da Ming and Er Ming were also at that level.
If Tang San wanted to suppress both beasts with certainty, he naturally had other methods.
"Death God Domain, activate!"
Endless killing intent poured out from Tang San's body as a blood-red aura spread across a thousand-meter radius, forming a domain.
Immediately afterward, the blood-red divine trial mark on Tang San's forehead shone with dazzling brilliance.
The suppressive power of Tang San's Death God Domain increased dramatically.
Not only were Da Ming and Er Ming unable to deploy their own domains, but while inside the Death God Domain, their strength was also greatly weakened.
This was Tang San's greatest trump card for hunting Da Ming and Er Ming.
A Death God Domain empowered by Asura God's divine power!
Divine power, a force that surpassed soul power!
These two forms of power were no longer on the same level.
"Damn it... Are Er Ming and I really going to die here today?"
"Big Sister Xiao Wu, Da Ming won't be able to continue protecting you anymore."
Feeling the changes in his own condition, Da Ming gradually fell into despair.
...
"Achoo!"
In Spirit City, Xiao Wu suddenly sneezed.
For some reason, she had a bad feeling that something terrible had happened.
"Xiao Wu, hurry up and continue telling me about my grandmaster's past. I've never heard any of it before, and I really want to know."
Beside her, a beautiful young girl wearing a clean and elegant noble white dress, with short ear-length hair, fair jade-like skin, and a graceful figure, hurriedly urged Xiao Wu to continue.
This lovely girl was Ning Rongrong.
After arriving in Spirit City, perhaps because of fate, she met Xiao Wu, who was also staying there.
Both girls had lively personalities, and they immediately hit it off, quickly becoming close friends.
During this time,
Ning Rongrong also learned about Xiao Wu's true identity as a transformed hundred-thousand-year Soft Bone Rabbit.
This only made her even more curious about Xiao Wu.
As the two girls chatted happily, Xiao Wu frequently bragged to Ning Rongrong.
She claimed that when Yun Yuan first met her, he had even shown her considerable respect.
In reality, however, Xiao Wu had been caught immediately by Yun Yuan and had nearly been frightened into wetting herself.
But boasting had always been Xiao Wu's specialty.
This little rabbit had never been honest, whether before or after taking human form.
"Um, Rongrong, where was I? Let me think..."
Just then, a sharp pain suddenly came from the top of Xiao Wu's head.
Her fiery temper instantly flared up.
"Who hit me?"
She looked around in every direction but saw no one.
Then a majestic voice echoed directly in Xiao Wu's mind.
"Little Rabbit, if you keep talking nonsense, I won't save your two younger brothers."
The moment Xiao Wu heard it, she recognized Yun Yuan's voice. Her two rabbit ears immediately drooped as she no longer dared make up stories about him.
A moment later,
Xiao Wu finally noticed the meaning behind Yun Yuan's words.
Save her two younger brothers?
"Could something have happened to Da Ming and Er Ming?"
After arriving at this conclusion, Xiao Wu became extremely anxious.
Yun Yuan, who seemed to know exactly what Xiao Wu was worried about, used voice transmission to tell her everything that had happened in the Star Dou Great Forest.
As the holder of the Demon Seed, Tang San's whereabouts had always been under Yun Yuan's control.
Naturally, Yun Yuan knew that Tang San was hunting the Titan Giant Ape and the Sky Azure Bull Python.
"That damned Tang San! One day, Big Sister Xiao Wu is going to cut you into a thousand pieces!"
After hearing everything, Xiao Wu exploded with rage. Tang San was actually attacking her home.
Very soon, Xiao Wu began pleading with Yun Yuan.
"Yun Yuan, please save my two younger brothers. I'm begging you."
After a while, Yun Yuan's voice once again sounded in Xiao Wu's mind, telling her not to worry.
For now, Yun Yuan had no intention of saving Da Ming and Er Ming from Tang San.
After all, what Yun Yuan wanted most was for Tang San to inherit the Asura God's divine position as soon as possible.
Therefore, Yun Yuan's plan was to let Xiao Wu's two younger brothers suffer for the time being and become soul rings and soul bones first.
After Yun Yuan's grand plan was completed in the future, he would resurrect the two beasts.
After hearing Yun Yuan's voice transmission, Xiao Wu was completely bewildered.
Although she had no idea what Yun Yuan was planning, or why he was actually helping an enemy like Tang San instead of simply crushing him with one palm,
Yun Yuan had already promised that her two younger brothers would be resurrected in the future, so she was finally at ease.
"Yun Yuan, thank you. You're truly my good friend."
Xiao Wu expressed her gratitude to Yun Yuan in her mind.
Star Dou Great Forest.
The corpses of the Titan Giant Ape and the Sky Azure Bull Python lay beside the Lake of Life.
Above their bodies, two hundred-thousand-year soul rings floated.
Tang San sat down cross-legged and began absorbing the two hundred-thousand-year soul rings.
As time passed, several hours later, Tang San had not only successfully absorbed the soul rings of the Titan Giant Ape and the Sky Azure Bull Python but had also absorbed the soul bones produced by the two soul beasts.
With the help of the soul rings and soul bones of the Titan Giant Ape and the Sky Azure Bull Python, Tang San's soul power achieved an incredible four-level breakthrough.
He advanced directly from rank 92 to rank 96.
"Asura God's Seventh Trial completed. Reward: soul power increased by one level, control over the super divine weapon, the Asura Demonic Sword, and a 10% increase in affinity with the Asura God's divine position."
A deep and solemn voice echoed within Tang San's mind.
Immediately afterward, the aura of Tang San's soul power rose once again as his cultivation advanced to rank 97.
"Rank 97. The Seventh Trial is complete. Soon, I'll inherit the Asura God's divine position and take my revenge on Spirit Hall."
At this moment, Tang San was incomparably excited.
All the suffering Spirit Hall had inflicted upon him in the past would be repaid a thousandfold, a hundredfold, one by one.
