Comparison of the Fourth Spirit Ring: A Near-Death Ten-Thousand-Year Ring Versus an Effortless Hundred-Thousand-Year Ring! Tang San Vomits Blood!

Even Qian Daoliu of the Original World, who had crawled out of the pit with half his face swollen like a steamed bun, covered his face and looked at Tang San with a complicated gaze.

He wanted to kill someone, but when he recalled the warning left behind by that terrifying "himself" just now—

and then looked at the bead in Tang San's hand, radiating divine light—he did not dare move.

"Xiao San..."

Tang Hao's voice was hoarse, his old face flushed Pig Liver Color.

He had been domineering all his life. When had he ever suffered such humiliation?

But seeing his son's lost and despondent expression, he could only grit his teeth and growl:

"Stop standing around in a daze!

That's a God-Given Spirit Ring!

It's a priceless treasure!"

"Even if it's food thrown to a beggar, even if it's humiliation!

As long as it can make you stronger, swallow it!"

"Only by becoming stronger will you have a chance to wash away today's shame!

Kill every last one of these people laughing at you!"

Tang Hao's words were like a sharp blade stabbing into Tang San's numb heart.

Tang San shuddered violently. A moment later, his hollow eyes erupted with terrifying resentment and madness.

"Stronger... right, I need to become stronger..."

"Tang Shan... you stand high above me, you treat me like an ant, you toss God-Given Spirit Rings to me like garbage..."

"Fine! I'll take it!

One day, I'll use the power this Spirit Ring gives me to drag you down from the clouds and make you taste what it feels like to piss your pants too!!!"

Tang San roared hysterically in his heart and suddenly crushed the seven-colored bead in his hand!

Buzz—!

Golden light entered his body, and divine power poured into him!

It had to be said that although Tang Shan had a sharp tongue, what he gave out truly was top-tier.

This God-Given Spirit Ring had no side effects at all, instantly raising Tang San's Soul Power to Rank 50.

It even began condensing the Spirit Ring best suited to Tang San's physical limit.

However, just as Tang San sat down cross-legged and prepared to enjoy this rare "moment in the spotlight,"

the Heavenly Screen's infuriating mechanical voice rang out again.

[Comparison Event: Acquisition of the Fourth Spirit Ring!]

[Original World: A life-and-death gamble to absorb a Ten-Thousand-Year Spirit Ring beyond one's level VS Current World: The ultimate challenge of a God-Given Spirit Ring!]

As the cold mechanical voice faded, the scene on the Left Side of the Heavenly Screen began to shift.

[Original World · Sunset Forest]

In the scene, fourteen-year-old Tang San was drenched in blood, his face as pale as paper as he sat cross-legged beside the corpse of a massive Cave Spider.

A black Spirit Ring pulsed above his head, giving off violent waves of energy.

"Aah—!!!"

Tang San in the scene let out a shrill scream. Blood flowed from his seven orifices, and his body convulsed violently.

That was the Soul Shock left behind after the death of a Ten-Thousand-Year soul beast!

For a Soul Ancestor whose spiritual power had yet to reach that level, it was practically a spiritual execution by a thousand cuts!

[Narration: In the Original World, Tang San chose without hesitation to absorb a Ten-Thousand-Year Cave Spider beyond his level for the sake of ultimate power during his Fourth Spirit Ring.

Under the impact of the Soul Shock, he came within a hair's breadth of death. Relying on his astonishing willpower, he ultimately created a miracle!]

Watching this scene, Tang San, who was currently absorbing the God-Given Spirit Ring, could not help curling his lips into a proud smile.

Though his body was absorbing the Spirit Ring, his consciousness remained exceptionally clear.

"Do you see that? This is my willpower!"

"Even without a prominent family background, even without God Level resources, I, Tang San, still dared to break through my limits!"

"My Fourth Spirit Ring was already at the Ten-Thousand-Year level. This was an unprecedented feat that would never be surpassed!

This was a badge of honor bought with my life!"

Among the audience, quite a few soul masters were also shaken by Tang San's ruthlessness in the scene.

"Though this kid's character is pretty awful, he really is ruthless enough toward himself. He's a true madman."

"A Ten-Thousand-Year Fourth Ring really did break the theoretical limit. No one can deny that."

Listening to the scattered praise around him, the knot in Tang San's heart finally loosened somewhat.

However.

Just when he thought he could finally regain some ground this time, or at least stand on equal footing with Tang Shan in terms of "willpower" and "breaking limits,"

the Heavenly Screen on the Right Side lit up.

[Current World · Clear Sky Sect · Back Mountain Forbidden Area]

In the scene, Tang Shan's face looked incredibly young.

Entirely unlike Tang San, who had been fourteen when absorbing his Fourth Spirit Ring.

"He looks like he's only ten?!"

Hu Liena of the Original World stared with her mouth hanging open.

At that moment, Tang Shan was lounging lazily in Blue Silver Emperor Ah Yin's arms.

He was idly playing with a golden bead in his hand.

It was exactly the same kind of "God-Given Spirit Ring" he had just tossed to Tang San like garbage.

"Shan'er, you've reached Rank 40. How many years do you plan to absorb with this God-Given Spirit Ring?"

Ah Yin gently peeled a grape and fed it into Tang Shan's mouth, asking softly.

Tang Shan chewed the grape and replied carelessly:

"Whatever. My physical condition has been good enough for a long time.

Father told me to take it easy and not make too much of a scene, so... I'll reluctantly go for a Hundred Thousand Year one."

Pfft—!

Upon hearing that, Feng Xiaotian of the Original World, who had been drinking water, directly sprayed it out.

"H-how many?!"

"Reluctantly... Hundred Thousand Year?!"

The smile on Tang San's face instantly froze. His expression looked as though he had just swallowed a dead fly.

In the scene, Tang Shan casually crushed the golden bead.

Golden mist instantly enveloped him.

No screams.

No blood flowing from his seven orifices.

No brush with Life and Death.

Tang Shan did not even sit up. He remained nestled in his mother's arms with his eyes closed, as if enjoying a comfortable sunbath.

The Soul Power fluctuations around him began rising frantically!

White... yellow... purple...

The colors changed so fast that everyone was dazzled!

In the blink of an eye, black appeared!

Ten thousand years... twenty thousand years... fifty thousand years...

That deep black grew ever denser, until it finally began to carry a strange blood-red tint!

[**Boom—!!!**]

A terrifying wave of scarlet energy spread outward from Tang Shan, making all the vegetation on the Clear Sky Sect's back mountain tremble!

When the light faded,

a Spirit Ring, crimson as blood and radiating suffocating pressure, floated silently beneath Tang Shan's feet!

[Red! Hundred Thousand Year Spirit Ring!]

[Narration: Tang Shan of the Current World, Fourth Spirit Ring: God-Given Hundred Thousand Year!

Absorption process: painless. Time taken: a quarter of an hour.]

In the scene, Tang Shan slowly opened his eyes, yawned, and muttered with some dissatisfaction:

"Tsk, the Hundred Thousand Year Soul Shock was a little noisy. It almost kept me from falling asleep."

[Two-World Comparison, killing hearts as well as people!]

Left Side: Tang San bled from his seven orifices, screamed repeatedly, and nearly died absorbing a Ten-Thousand-Year Spirit Ring. He took pride in it and regarded it as a "badge of glory."

Right Side: Tang Shan ate grapes while lying in his mother's arms, complained that the Hundred Thousand Year Spirit Ring's shock was "a little noisy," and casually gained a red Spirit Ring.

"Pfft—!!!"

Original World.

Tang San, who was currently absorbing the God-Given Spirit Ring, could no longer endure such an enormous psychological blow.

His rage surged to his heart, and the Soul Power that had been stable within him instantly went berserk!

He sprayed out a mouthful of blood. His eyes rolled back, and right in the middle of absorbing the God-Given Spirit Ring...

he suffered a cultivation deviation and fainted dead away!
