Slaughter King's Strength Surges, Devouring Tang Chen

"Is that so? Try it then."

"Yes, master!"

At this moment, the Slaughter King's eyes were gleaming with excitement. He stared at this Immortal Herb with greedy fervor. Though he didn't recognize it, he could sense it would greatly benefit him!

Seeing this, Ye Wen muttered inwardly, "Looks like it's useful after all."

"Thank you, master. I'll begin now."

The Slaughter King immediately took the Immortal Herb and eagerly prepared to absorb it.

"Power! My power is truly surging! Master!"

"Urgh aaaaah!"

The Slaughter King roared loudly, his blood-red bat wings fully spread.

His face, his skin, his entire body began to grow redder and redder, more and more bloodthirsty. The skin that was still human was now covered in a layer of the bat king's exclusive crimson bat hide.

His form was increasingly resembling a bat!

He looked more like a bat now, with fewer and fewer human traits remaining.

Tang Chen's body was transforming, no longer human!

"Master! Master! I'm gradually devouring this flesh, gradually seizing his power!!!" The Slaughter King shouted in ecstasy. "Eyah aaaah!!!"

Zzzt zzzt zzzt!

Fierce lightning began to crackle from the Slaughter King's palm, and a hammer uncontrollably emerged from his hand.

"Clear Sky Hammer!" Ye Wen narrowed his eyes slightly.

The Clear Sky Hammer began to change, transforming into a sword—the Super Divine Artifact, the Asura Demon Sword.

The Asura Demon Sword and the Clear Sky Hammer started shifting between two forms, now a sword, now a hammer. The Slaughter King's excited cries turned into screams of agony.

"Aaaaah!"

Bang!

The next second, a terrifying burst of energy exploded from the Slaughter King's palm. The transformation finally ceased, and the Clear Sky Hammer and Asura Demon Sword instantly returned to his hand.

"What a pity! Such a pity, master! I've nearly parasitized and taken full control of his body, but this one arm remains impossible for me to devour. I can feel an incredibly fearsome power in this arm!" The Slaughter King lamented deeply.

No kidding!

If you could devour that arm, you'd gain the ability to wield the Clear Sky Hammer martial soul, all of Tang Chen's Soul Ring skills, and even the Super Divine Artifact, the Asura Demon Sword!

If the Slaughter King could achieve that, his power would reach Half-God Level.

He still couldn't fully consume Tang Chen's body, and Ye Wen found that regrettable too.

But it was still quite good. At least the Blood Red Blood Essence Flower had taken effective effect, massively boosting the Slaughter King's current strength!

If before he needed to activate the Slaughter Domain just to barely reach Level 97, then now, Ye Wen estimated his power was equivalent to a peak Level 98 powerhouse!

In an instant, the Slaughter King became the strongest general under Ye Wen's command.

Ye Wen asked, "If you could fully devour the power in that arm, your strength would at least reach Half-God Level. But it's fine. You're already very strong now. Few in the world can defeat you."

At this moment, Evil Tiger and Xiao Bai looked at the Slaughter King not with wariness, but with a hint of fear.

"Now, to what extent have you merged with this body?"

The Slaughter King replied, "Ninety percent. Before, I had only devoured half of his body at most. Now we are practically one entity. No method can erase me from this body—we coexist and perish together."

"This body will belong to me forever!"

"Master, I'm confident. Give me a few decades, and I should be able to fully devour this arm!"

"Excellent, Slaughter King! Your top priority now is to deal with that arm." Ye Wen nodded with great satisfaction, sighing inwardly, "Tang Chen, Tang Chen, your life ends like this."

Tang Chen had been completely erased. Even the Sea God's Light from the Sea God's Trident was useless now.

From now on, the Slaughter King was no longer Tang Chen. He was the true Slaughter King, the Blood Red Nine-Headed Bat King.

"Yes!"

Now, with the Slaughter King possessing combat power equivalent to a peak Level 98, Ye Wen's forces were undoubtedly even more formidable. But such strength was still fragile before the gods, and even fighting the Martial Soul Hall would be quite difficult.

Thus, Ye Wen would continue expanding his power. His next destination would be the Extreme North, targeting the three great kings there: Snow Empress, Ice Empress, and the Titan Snow Demon King.

However, the Extreme North would have to wait for a while.

"Now that I've taken control of Slaughter City, there's no way Tang San can obtain the Slaughter God's Domain." Ye Wen sneered inwardly, then collected his thoughts.

He said, "Evil Tiger, Xiao Bai, it's time for us to head to the Hell Slaughter Arena. We'll win a hundred consecutive matches, then break through Hell Road and leave."

"Yes, Boss!"

Since they were already in Slaughter City, there was no reason not to take the Slaughter God's Domain. His goal was achieved, so they'd grab it and leave.

The three of them went straight to the Hell Slaughter Arena to compete.

Ye Wen, Xiao Bai, and Evil Tiger all began to slaughter indiscriminately, each fighting three matches a day.

Every match was a complete stomp!

Soon, a month later.

All three had achieved ninety consecutive victories, each match crushing their opponents on the same stage with absolute power.

Soon, three days later.

All three had reached ninety-nine consecutive wins, with only the final match remaining.

The three were so invincible, each fighting three matches a day—who wouldn't be afraid?

No one was foolish enough to enter the Hell Slaughter Arena and court death during this time. By the midway point, hardly anyone had signed up to compete; those who did come were mostly forced by their deadline.

After all, in Slaughter City, you could only live for one year. You had to participate in the matches and win to extend your stay by another year.

However, Ye Wen had plenty of ways to force the degenerates into the arena.

That day, Ye Wen once again arrived at the Slaughter King's castle.

The Slaughter King knelt on one knee before Ye Wen, deeply reverent: "Master, you summoned me. What are your orders?"

"Tomorrow, we will complete our final match, reaching a hundred consecutive victories, and then break through the Hell Road to leave this Slaughter City. So, before we go, I have one matter to entrust to you," Ye Wen said slowly.

"Master, your command."

"If one day in the future, someone wielding the Clear Sky Hammer Martial Soul enters Slaughter City, do not kill him. Drive him out! Make him scram, understand?"

"Understood, Master!"

The Slaughter King committed it to memory.

"Then I'll take my leave."

"Wait! Master!"

Ye Wen stopped and asked, "What is it?"

"I have a treasure to offer you!"

"Oh? A treasure. Take me to see it."

"Master, follow me." The Slaughter King rose and then led Ye Wen to the place where the treasures were stored.

They arrived at a door, pushed it open, and entered.

Ye Wen was startled to see, right in the center of the room, a pair of wings radiating golden light!

They were not weapons, not Soul Tools, nor were they crafted by human hands!

Rather, they were an External Soul Bone shed from a Soul Beast!
