Blood Sacrifice Ring Casting, Tang San Retreats to the City of Slaughter
Elephant Armor City has become a living hell.
The overwhelming stench of blood was almost tangible; dark red resentment and death energy swirled and howled above the ruins, turning the originally gray sky into an ominous dark red. Amidst the broken walls and rubble, corpses lay strewn about, and the blood of the Huyan and Tuoba families flowed into streams, soaking the scorched earth.
In the center of the ruins, Tang San sat cross-legged, his body shrouded in a layer of viscous, writhing dark red blood light. His face was as pale as a ghost, but his crimson, Evil Eyes shone with a terrifying light, filled with fanaticism and anticipation. The Rakshasa Demon Scythe was stuck beside him, its blade dripping viscous blood as if it had just drunk its fill.
A deep, difficult-to-pronounce incantation, filled with an evil aura, was murmured from Tang San's mouth. This was a forbidden secret technique bestowed upon him by the Rakshasa Spirit Trial's inheritance mark—[Myriad Spirits Blood Sacrifice Ring Casting Technique].
This method is extremely vicious and contrary to the laws of nature, but its effects are also extremely domineering. It can use the flesh, blood, Soul Power, and even remnant souls of a large number of beings of the same or related origin as sacrifices to forcibly condense and enhance Soul Ring, and even forge Spirit Bone!
This method has an extremely high barrier to entry. First, it requires a massive amount of "materials," which means slaughtering a sufficient number of living beings. Second, the sacrifices and the caster should ideally have a certain blood connection, so that the caster can absorb the essence of the sacrifices to the maximum extent and reduce rejection. Finally, the sacrifices should ideally share the same or similar bloodline, so that they can form a synergy and improve the quality of the forged Soul Ring and Spirit Bone.
Right now, the corpses of thousands of members of the Huyan and Tuoba clans, as well as the remains of Huyan Xiong containing the powerful Adamantine Dragon Elephant Blood Essence, perfectly meet all the conditions! Tang San, as Tuoba Xi's illegitimate son, carries the bloodlines of both clans; the Huyan and Tuoba clans have been intermarried for generations, and their bloodlines have long been intertwined; Huyan Xiong King Kong Dragon Elephant Martial Soul is the pinnacle of the fusion of the two clans' bloodlines!
Tang San revealed a twisted and satisfied smile, his hands forming a hand seal, and the Rakshasa Divine Power surged out wildly, communicating with the evil magic array beneath his feet, which was constructed from blood and death!
Buzz--!
The blood on the ground seemed to come alive, transforming into countless blood streaks, like rivers flowing into the sea, converging towards Tang San! At the same time, the remaining Soul Power, lingering essence blood, and even the tormented remnants of souls in those corpses were forcibly extracted and merged into the blood light! Especially from Huyan Xiong's corpse, a powerful Blood Essence of blood, condensed like dark gold liquid, was extracted, radiating a terrifying dragon-elephant pressure!
"Ugh--!" Countless remnant souls let out silent screams, their resentment soaring to the sky. However, under the suppression of the Rakshasa Divine Power, they could only transform into the purest negative energy and be devoured by the magic array.
Tang San's body trembled violently as a massive amount of Blood Essence and Soul Power surged into him, almost bursting him apart! His Golden Dragon Martial Soul possessed him uncontrollably, emitting Dragon Roar roar that was both painful and exhilarating. He endured the tearing pain and used all his strength to circulate the Mysterious Heaven Skill and the Rakshasa Secret Technique, guiding this violent energy towards the vacant Ninth Soul Ring position and his Torso Bone!
The dark red light intensified, gradually condensing and compressing... First, it transformed into a blurry phantom Soul Ring, encircling the Golden Dragon Martial Soul. The patterns on it constantly changed, faintly revealing a dragon's head and an elephant's body, radiating a violent sense of power! At the same time, Tang San's spine and ribs emitted crisp "crackling" sounds, as if an invisible hammer and chisel were forging them. A Torso Bone, radiating a dark golden luster and covered with dragon scales and elephant patterns, was slowly taking shape!
This process lasted a full day and night!
As dawn broke again (though the sky was still shrouded in bloody aura, as dark as dusk), the bloody light surrounding Tang San suddenly receded! He abruptly opened his eyes and let out a deafening dragon roar!
Roar--!
A solid, dark gold Soul Ring with a clear dragon-elephant fighting pattern appeared beneath his feet, shining brightly alongside the other eight Soul Ring! Powerful Soul Power fluctuations spread out like a tide, leveling the surrounding ruins once more!
The Ninth Soul Ring is complete! And its quality is comparable to that of Beast Soul ring that is over 200,000 years old! It originates from the Blood Essence and Soul Power of the entire Huyan and Tuoba clan and the Huyan Xiong Adamantine Dragon Elephant origin of Huyan Xiong— the Adamantine Dragon Elephant Soul Ring!
At the same time, a complete Spirit Bone, radiating a dark golden light, with a texture like a fusion of metal and jade, and naturally engraved with dragon and elephant totems, was fully formed on his torso! Powerful Bloodline Power and defensive capabilities instantly filled his entire body! Adamantine Dragon Elephant Torso Bone!
Boom!
The immense energy returned, instantly healing all his injuries and forcefully boosting his Soul Power Level! Peak level 93... level 94... level 95... finally, it stabilized at level 96! Super Douluo!
Feeling the surging, mercury-like Soul Power within his body, and the Torso Bone containing terrifying Blood Essence and defensive power, Tang San was filled with pride and couldn't help but burst into wild laughter!
"Power... this is the power of Super Douluo! Hahaha!" He laughed wildly, his voice shaking the surrounding area. "The Huyan Family, the Tuoba Family... you died a worthy death! Your blood and bones paved the way for my Path to Godhood!"
With a thought, he focused his mind on his dantian. The Soul Core, which had been somewhat floating and mottled in color due to absorbing too much impure energy, became solid and profound under the baptism of pure Rakshasa Divine Power and this high-quality blood sacrifice energy.
Its surface Entanglement dark red, evil patterns. As it slowly rotates, it emits a stable and powerful suction force. Its quality is no less than that of the Soul Core of any Super Douluo who has cultivated through hardship!
His act of murdering his own family perfectly aligned with the "evil slaughter" and "betrayal of human ethics" symbolized by the Rakshasa God Position, causing his affinity with the God Position position to skyrocket, and even his Soul Core to undergo a fundamental sublimation.
At this moment, Tang San was bursting with confidence! With Twin Martial Souls, multiple Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring and Spirit Bone, the divine weapon Rakshasa Demon Scythe, the Cultivation Level Super Douluo, and a stable Soul Core... he believed that his combat strength was no less than that of Titled Douluo.
"The Federation? Hmph, once I become a god, I'll make you pay!" Tang San's eyes gleamed with ambition.
However, just as he was immersed in the ecstasy of his increased power, two sharp bolts of lightning pierced through the blood mist at the edge of the sky, approaching at an extremely fast speed! The powerful fluctuations of Soul Power were undisguised, carrying anxiety and anger.
"Hmm?" Tang San frowned, sensing that the newcomers were merely two newly promoted Titled Douluo. A disdainful sneer curled at the corner of his lips. "Insects dare to come and die?"
Swish! Swish!
As the lightning dissipated, two tall figures were revealed. One had a cold and stern face, sharp eyes like an eagle, and was surrounded by lightning—it was Yu Tianxin! The other looked somewhat like him, but had a more composed demeanor, with an undeniable air of arrogance between his brows—it was his younger brother Yu Tianheng! The two had rushed to the scene immediately after receiving the urgent distress signal from the person in charge of Elephant Armor City, but they were still a step too late.
In fact, given Tang San's swaggering actions, the Federation personnel shouldn't have arrived so late. And indeed, it was the Federation official stationed in Elephant Armor City who was driven by selfish motives.
Because he was born into the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, some of his direct ancestors died in the conflict between the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan and the Huyan Family and Tuoba Family. Therefore, he disliked the two families very much and often tripped them up. More than ten years ago, he even found a handle on the two families and made them suffer a great loss.
When Tang San attacked these two families, the person in charge initially observed through his Soul Tool that Tang San's Cultivation Level only level 93. Even though he was Fallen Soul Master and more difficult to deal with, the two families together had a total of three Titled Douluo and one Super Douluo. Suppressing a mere level 93 Fallen One Titled Douluo should not be a problem, although there would be considerable losses. But this was exactly what the person in charge of Elephant Armor City wanted to see, so he had no intention of reporting it.
But when even Huyan Xiong couldn't subdue Tang San, the person in charge knew things were getting serious. He had caused a major disaster because of his selfishness. If this delay allowed the Fallen Soul Master to escape or turn around and slaughter the Elephant Armor City, he would be guilty of a terrible crime. He dared not delay any longer, reported the information, and sent an emergency distress signal, hoping that a powerful expert would be traveling nearby.
However, due to the limited time available, the Federal Investigation Bureau was unable to send enough personnel to the scene immediately. They could only send the nearest personnel to the scene as quickly as possible. Coincidentally, the brothers Yu Tianxin and Yu Tianheng had just broken through to the Titled Douluo a few years ago and were now Titled Douluo at levels 93 and 92 respectively. They were traveling nearby and rushed over after receiving the distress signal from the person in charge of Elephant Armor City.
When they saw the ruins below, which looked as if they had been struck by a meteorite, littered with corpses and filled with the aura of blood, and the black-robed man standing in the middle of the mountain of corpses and sea of blood, exuding a nauseating and evil aura, Yu Tianxin and Yu Tianheng's expressions instantly turned extremely ugly.
"Fallen One! How dare you!" Yu Tianxin roared, and the Thunder Sacred Dragon Martial Soul instantly possessed him. Nine Soul Ring rose up: purple, purple, purple, black, black, black, black, red, red. The aura of a level 93 Power Attack System Titled Douluo was fully unleashed!
Although he was furious, he did not lose his mind. To cause such destruction, the opponent must be Evil Soul Master whose combat power far exceeds that of an ordinary Super Douluo!
Yu Tianheng also released his Martial Soul, his Level 92 aura no less formidable, crackling with lightning, his cold eyes locking onto Tang San: "Surrender, or die!"
Tang San looked at the two people before him, especially Yu Tianheng. Memories of Yu Tianheng from over a decade ago at the All-Continent High-Level Soul Master Elite Tournament flashed through his mind—his domineering presence and effortless crushing of the Shrek Team. Back then, Yu Tianheng was a genius he looked up to, a privileged son with a powerful background. But now...
"Hehe... Hahahaha!" Tang San let out a maniacal laugh, slowly lifting his hood to reveal a pale, sinister face, yet tinged with a sickly pleasure. "Yu Tianheng, Yu Tianxin... How have you been?"
"You are?! Tang San!" Yu Tianheng's pupils shrank drastically as he stared incredulously at the black-robed youth before him, whose aura was sinister and who was completely different from the somewhat handsome but somewhat eccentric boy he remembered. "You... how did you become like this?!"
Yu Tianxin was also greatly shocked. Although he was not familiar with Tang San, he had heard of the name. The Twin Martial Souls genius from the Shrek Academy, who was said to have disappeared later... He never expected that he would fall into such a terrifying Evil Soul Master!
"How did I become like this?" Tang San's smile was twisted, filled with resentment. "I have to thank this damned world! Thank those hypocritical scoundrels! Thank you so-called geniuses who are high and mighty!"
He stuck out his scarlet tongue, licked his lips, and looked greedily at the Yu Tianxin brothers. "Perfect timing, we just finished a feast... I'll use you two little minnows from the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan as an after-dinner snack!"
Before he finished speaking, Tang San's figure vanished instantly! The next moment, he appeared in front of Yu Tianxin, his Golden Dragon Claw carrying a sharpness that could tear through space, aiming straight for her throat! His speed was beyond measure!
"Watch out!" Yu Tianheng exclaimed, instantly activating his Thunder Sacred Dragon True Body, unleashing a thick thunder spear that slammed towards Tang San's side, a diversionary tactic!
Yu Tianxin was also experienced in battle. Although she was startled, she remained calm and met the attack head-on with her Thunder Dragon Claw!
Boom! Crack!
The collision of Soul Power created a surging shockwave! Yu Tianxin let out a muffled groan, actually being thrown backward by the force, her arm numb, her heart filled with horror! Such powerful strength!
"Tian Heng, find a way to hold him off! Wait for reinforcements!" Yu Tianxin transmitted his voice, a resolute glint in his eyes.
Tang San swayed slightly, deflecting Yu Tianheng's lightning spear, and sneered, "Is that all you've got? The genius of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan is nothing special!"
"Tang San! You have indiscriminately killed innocent people and fallen into the evil path. Today, my brother and I will act on behalf of Heaven to Tianxing justice!" Yu Tianheng roared, exchanging a glance with Yu Tianxin. The two were perfectly in sync, simultaneously activating their Martial Soul Avatar! Two enormous phantom images of Thunder Sacred Dragon coiled in the sky, their lightning flashing and their power astonishing!
"Thunder Judgment!"
"Sacred Dragon Verdict!"
The brothers joined forces, their Thunder Sacred Dragon Domain overlapping, unleashing countless terrifying bolts of lightning as thick as buckets, striking Tang San like divine punishment! This was Combined Attack Technique from the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, powerful enough to threaten Super Douluo!
"A mere trick!" Tang San laughed wildly, revealing his Golden Dragon True Body, his entire body covered in dark golden dragon scales, unleashing one of the Adamantine Dragon Elephant Soul Bone Skill — Dragon Elephant Heaven Shaking Collision!
He transformed into Dark Gold Streamer, neither dodging nor avoiding, and directly crashed into the thunderstorm! The lightning bolts, powerful enough to kill Soul Douluo, struck him, but were actually withstood by his Dark Gold Halo and powerful physique! At the same time, he swung his Dragon Claw claws, and the Rakshasa Demon Scythe drew a strange arc, easily tearing through the thunderstorm domain and slashing towards the two Thunder Sacred Dragon!
Boom boom boom!
A series of deafening roars erupted in the air! Lightning and Dark Gold Evil Radiance clashed wildly! Yu Tianxin and Yu Tianheng brought the domineering power and speed of the Thunder Sacred Dragon to the extreme, cooperating seamlessly. For a time, they were evenly matched with Tang San Sanmianxian, but it was clear that this was also their limit.
However, the two brothers were not worried because they had powerful backers. The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan now had more than one God Level being behind them, and as direct descendants, they naturally had ways to protect themselves.
"Tang San! You've killed so many innocent Life, aren't you afraid of divine retribution?!" Yu Tianheng shouted angrily while struggling to fend off the strange attacks of the Rakshasa Demon Scythe.
"Divine retribution? Hahaha!" Tang San seemed to have gone mad. "Where was Heaven when my mother died tragically? Where was Heaven when Xiao Wu sacrificed herself? This world is a world of the strong preying on the weak, where the victor is king and the loser is villain! Today I am stronger than you, you are nothing but ants, deserving to be crushed!"
His words were vicious, and his attacks became increasingly fierce. The Rakshasa Demon Scythe exuded a sinister aura, specifically designed to break through Soul Power defenses; the Golden Dragon possessed immense strength; and the Fallen Spider Emperor's Poison Domain, which he switched frequently, further hampered the Yu Tianxin brothers, causing them to expend a great deal of Soul Power.
After dozens of rounds, the Yu Tianxin brothers were in dire straits, with several wounds on their bodies and their lightning dimming. They felt bitter, knowing that things would likely not end well today. This Tang San was too terrifyingly strong! He probably already had the combat power of Titled Douluo.
Just as Tang San was about to severely injure Yu Tianxin and was preparing to deliver the fatal blow—
"You wretched creature! How dare you act so violently!"
A thunderous roar erupted from afar! A terrifying aura, far more powerful, profound, and anciently majestic than that of the Yu Tianxin brothers, swept in like a tsunami! The sky seemed to darken!
The newcomer was dressed in a golden outfit, with his hair and beard standing on end, his face ancient and his eyes sharp. He exuded a terrifying Blood Essence and Soul Power like Primordial Era beast!
It was none other than the veteran Titled Douluo, Golden Crocodile Douluo, who arrived at top speed after receiving an emergency request for assistance from the Federal Investigation Department!
Golden Crocodile Douluo's gaze swept over the ruins of Elephant Armor City, saw the tragically killed Huyan Xiong, Huyan Zhen, and others, and finally locked onto the wicked Tang San, his eyes blazing with fury.
He once represented the Spirit Hall in protecting the remnants of the Huyan and Tuoba families. Later, the descendants of the two families worked under him. Although the Spirit Hall later merged into the Federation and its relationship with the two families gradually became distant, there was still a bond of kinship.
Now, seeing two families almost wiped out so brazenly, and the murderer being a despicable Fallen One, what was going on? Since when did a Fallen One could only hide and flee dare to ride roughshod over him? How could he not be furious?
"Senior Golden Crocodile!" Brother Yu Tianxin was overjoyed.
Tang San's expression also turned serious. He sensed an immense threat emanating from this old man! Far exceeding the life-or-death struggle of Huyan Xiong! This was a true veteran Titled Douluo!
"You little beast, prepare to die! Golden Crocodile Heaven-Rending Claw!" Without any nonsense, Golden Crocodile Douluo attacked directly, and his attack was a fatal blow. At the level of Golden Crocodile Douluo, the Soul Skill granted by his Soul Ring and Spirit Bone were no longer his strongest methods. This Golden Crocodile Heaven-Rending Claw was a unique skill he created by summarizing all his knowledge. Its power was extremely strong. Even an ordinary Titled Douluo would be seriously injured if he used it with his foundation!
Behind him, the golden crocodile phantom roared to the sky, and an enormous claw covered in golden scales tore through space, carrying the terrifying will of Primordial Era beast, and slashed down towards Tang San's head! Its power far exceeded that of Huyan Xiong's Huyan Xiong attack!
Faced with this attack, Tang San dared not hold back. He unleashed the full power of his Golden Dragon True Body, Adamantine Dragon Elephant Torso Bone, and Rakshasa Demon Scythe! The dark golden dragon-elephant phantom collided fiercely with the golden crocodile claw!
Boom--------!!!!
Rakshasa Demon Scythe, more terrifying than any previous collision, erupted! Space distorted, and the earth Rupture! Tang San felt as if he had been struck by a star; his Golden Dragon True Body nearly disintegrated, a trickle of blood escaped from the corner of his mouth, the Rakshasa Demon Scythe nearly slipped from his grasp, and he staggered back seven or eight steps before regaining his footing.
With just one strike, Tang San was injured!
"Cough cough..." Tang San struggled to his feet, his heart filled with horror. Was this the strength of a veteran Titled Douluo? He was indeed no match for him now!
It's important to understand that while Tang San's current strength is already comparable to that of Titled Douluo, and with the advantage of his divine artifact, he can even surpass ordinary Titled Douluo, Golden Crocodile Douluo has accumulated decades of experience. Who knows when he might comprehend something and condense Divine Spark to become a god? He is not comparable to an ordinary Titled Douluo.
"Huh? He's still alive?" A hint of surprise flashed in Golden Crocodile Douluo's eyes, but his killing intent intensified. "He truly is a menace! I will surely kill him today!"
He moved swiftly and pounced again, his attack as fierce as a storm, showing no mercy!
Tang San was in a state of panic, pushing his speed to the limit while simultaneously employing various life-saving techniques! His Death Spider Emperor Soul Bone Skill — Death Spider Shadow —created several lifelike afterimages to interfere with his movements; Xiao Wu's sacrificed Hundred-Thousand-Year Soft Bone Rabbit's Left Leg Bone Soul Bone Skill — Instantaneous Movement Teleportation—allowed him to blink within a hundred meters without cooldown!
However, at the level of Golden Crocodile Douluo, who had never been exposed to the Power of Space? Therefore, he was very sensitive to spatial fluctuations. He easily captured Tang San's Instantaneous Movement trajectory, and the Death Spider Shadow was directly shattered by his powerful Soul Power domain!
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Tang San was barely able to block or dodge each attack, but his injuries worsened, and blood stained his black robe. He relied on the power of his divine weapon and his tenacious Life Force to barely hold on, but defeat was only a matter of time!
"I can't die here!" A hint of madness flashed in Tang San's eyes. He looked in the direction of the City of Slaughter, which was his only way out! Fortunately, the City of Slaughter was only a few hundred miles away from here, and at his speed, it would only take him a dozen minutes to get there.
Without further hesitation, he burned a portion of his Soul Power and unleashed his trump card escape technique— Blood Escape Technique! Transforming into a streak of blood-red light, he fled desperately towards the city of City of Slaughter!
"Trying to run?" Golden Crocodile Douluo sneered, transforming into a golden streak of light and giving chase! Although he wasn't particularly fast, his Cultivation Level far surpassed Tang San's, and for a moment they were neck and neck!
Two Daoliu, one gold and one red, engaged in a breathtaking chase through the sky! Wherever they passed, clouds collapsed and mountains trembled!
Tang San used every trick in the book, sometimes Instantaneous Movement, sometimes diving into dense forests, sometimes plunging into rivers, but Golden Crocodile Douluo was like a leech, always able to catch up quickly and deliver a heavy blow!
In just a few hundred miles, Tang San suffered countless blows, his injuries becoming extremely severe. He was only kept alive by sheer grit and the Rakshasa Divine Power.
Finally, the familiar black forest shrouded in dark red mist appeared ahead—the entrance to the City of Slaughter!
Tang San, as if seeing a lifeline, mustered his last bit of strength and plunged headfirst into it!
Golden Crocodile Douluo stopped at the entrance, staring at the bottomless cave with a furrowed brow. The rules of the City of Slaughter could not be concealed even by Titled Douluo.
"Hmph! Do you think hiding in a rat hole will do you any good?" A cold glint flashed in Golden Crocodile Douluo's eyes. "I'll go back and borrow the ' Biyi Token ' before I come back to take your dog's life!"
He turned and vanished in a golden radiance. We must report this to the Federation as soon as possible, mobilize forces, and completely eradicate this scourge, as well as the City of Slaughter behind him!
City of Slaughter, Tang San collapsed onto the cold ground like a dead dog, coughing violently, blood constantly spilling from his mouth and nose. His injuries were extremely severe, and his Soul Power was nearly exhausted.
But in those Evil Eyes, madness and resentment burned to the extreme.
"Golden Crocodile Douluo... the Federation... and Yu Tianheng Yu Tianxin... you just wait..." He struggled to sit up, looking at the familiar yet sinful city, a ferocious smile appearing on his face.
"The reward for completing the Eighth Trial... Devouring the Blood Pool of Hell Road... Reaching the Titled Douluo... And then, inheriting the God Position!"
He licked his chapped lips, his eyes filled with a thirst for power and an obsession with revenge.
"When I become a god... I will repay this humiliation a hundredfold! This continent is destined to tremble under my Rakshasa's Demon Scythe!"
He staggered to his feet and walked step by step toward the Hell Road. Deeper darkness and greater power awaited him. Path to Godhood seemed to be just around the corner.
