"Leave no one alive!"
With a cold command, Yang Hao strode through the gate.
This time, he was here for revenge, facing only enemies, so he naturally had no intention of being soft-hearted or showing womanly benevolence.
Revenge must be swift. Either don't seek it, or when you do, leave no trace, cut the weeds and eliminate the roots, and never have future troubles.
Wan Hun and Sleep Nightmare followed behind, activating their Martial Soul True Forms and using numerous Soul Tools to assist, their power enveloping the entire Strength Clan's territory.
Wan Hun controlled countless vengeful spirits to empower Sleep Nightmare's mental strength, while Sleep Nightmare used his powerful mental strength to induce hypnosis, simultaneously releasing large amounts of hypnotic gas to aid.
Those below the Soul Douluo rank could barely resist, quickly falling into a deep sleep.
Not to mention that it was already deep night, and after a whole day of busy ancestral worship, many were exhausted and asleep, making it easier to operate.
Moreover, the two were very strong now. Yang Hao only devoured the origin power from the many soul beasts they had faced before, while Wan Hun and Sleep Nightmare had absorbed the souls and mental power.
The increase in their strength from gaining so much soul and mental power was terrifying.
Furthermore, the characteristics of their Martial Souls made them very passive against opponents of the same level, but against lower-level soul masters, it was an instant kill.
Yang Hao went inside to use the Soul-Devouring Spider Leg Bone for absorption, refining it into nourishment for the One-Eyed Vajra Martial Soul.
Just as Great Love Immortal Venerable said, when your talent is insufficient, don't be inferior; think more of your clansmen.
Ever since he inherited Tai Wushuang's Martial Soul, he was no longer alone; he had clansmen.
He had been thinking of these dear clansmen for the past few years, and now that he finally had the strength to return and visit, it was like returning home in glory.
Of course, he did not engage in any cruel slaughter, merely simple absorption.
His purpose for coming was twofold: revenge, and to use these clansmen's Martial Souls to enhance his One-Eyed Vajra Martial Soul. His objective was pure, and he did not want any unnecessary complications, so he naturally wouldn't perform any superfluous actions.
As for what Wan Hun would do with the souls he collected was none of his concern.
Wan Hun and Sleep Nightmare had finished cleaning up. One absorbed souls, the other absorbed mental power, and they even took away the corpses.
Sleep Nightmare even specifically used illusions to interrogate the strong individuals, discovering various treasure locations and taking them away.
After spending the entire night sending the Strength Clan members off to the afterlife in a neat and orderly fashion, the four of them left with their spoils.
Finally, they set the entire clan territory ablaze, sending it down as a final farewell, so that the Strength Clan members would have a place to live in the afterlife. This was Yang Hao's goodwill.
"I used to think about returning after my strength improved, but I never expected it to be accomplished in such an easy manner."
Looking at the Strength Clan territory engulfed in flames, Yang Hao couldn't help but sigh.
Indeed, plans can't keep up with acting. In this day and age, you need acting skills to get promoted and earn more.
"Not satisfying enough?"
Feng Ling glanced sideways. After completing this part of his revenge, the hatred in Xiao Hao's heart should have lessened somewhat.
"No, compared to the feeling of revenge, letting them live a few more years would have been more unbearable for me."
Shaking his head slightly, Yang Hao also wanted to settle this grudge as soon as possible.
More importantly, he needed the strength of these clansmen to enhance the foundation of his One-Eyed Vajra Martial Soul, which was already somewhat overloaded.
"Let's go!"
Feng Ling said, looking at the clan territory consumed by flames.
The four of them left quickly, taking a detour before entering the Star Dou Forest to continue hunting corresponding soul beast tribes. Their targets were mainly those that lived in groups.
Group-dwelling soul beasts were numerous and did not migrate easily, making them easy to attack directly.
With Feng Ling, a Super Douluo, and the assistance of Wan Hun and Sleep Nightmare, not to mention ten-thousand-year soul beasts, they could easily take down even hundred-thousand-year soul beasts.
However, the four of them were much more cautious this time, not daring to enter the core area, only lingering in the outer and inner regions.
After all, the Star Dou Forest harbored many ferocious beasts, and even the Beast God Di Tian. If they were to alert him, it would be troublesome.
Yang Hao wandered through the Star Dou Forest, and a whole six months passed.
Although the Soul-Devouring Spider Leg Bone had absorbed and improved to its limit, he still hadn't left, as there were two more targets he hadn't found.
Feng Ling and the other two naturally accompanied him. Fortunately, after much effort, they finally had some success.
"Finally found you."
Looking at the Twin Cyclops feeding in the distance, Yang Hao smiled.
This was his target this time.
The Twin Cyclops was a variant of the Cyclops, with a more powerful bloodline and a stronger chaotic attribute. It also possessed light and dark attributes, which was a key element in Yang Hao's plan to evolve his Martial Soul and Soul Bone.
"Possessing both light and dark attributes simultaneously is truly rare."
Feng Ling also looked at the Twin Cyclops in the distance, quite surprised.
They had hunted many Cyclops before, but this was the first time they had encountered one with two heads and simultaneously possessing the opposing attributes of light and dark.
"Pretty sister, you cover me."
Yang Hao said, then charged forward, activating his One-Eyed Vajra Martial Soul to manifest the Vajra Dharma Body. His giant Black-Veined Iron battle axe was also transferred from his storage Soul Tool and held in the Vajra Dharma Body's hand.
The Twin Cyclops, disturbed from its meal, immediately got up, picked up a large bone club nearby, and swung it to meet the charge.
"Bang!"
A dull thud echoed as the two massive weapons collided. The bone club was incredibly hard, leaving only a faint mark on the Black-Veined Iron battle axe.
The Vajra Dharma Body swung the battle axe in a frenzy, even employing the Disorder Splitting Wind Hammer technique to continuously stack its strength.
Yang Hao was not idle either; he leaped onto the back of the Twin Cyclops, driving his Soul-Devouring Spider Leg Bone into its flesh to begin devouring while simultaneously forcing his Ultimate Ice soul power into the wound.
The Twin Cyclops naturally sensed the anomaly behind it, but the Vajra Dharma Body's offensive was so ferocious that it had to focus entirely on defense, leaving no room to address its back, save for using its soul power to forcibly suppress the freezing chill invading its body.
Unfortunately, the Ultimate Ice could not be suppressed. In moments, the muscles on its back were frozen solid, making it difficult for the Twin Cyclops to exert force, which in turn allowed the Vajra Dharma Body to hack it to the ground with its battle axe.
Giving the Twin Cyclops no chance to rise, the Vajra Dharma Body swung the axe like a blacksmith hammering iron, forcing the Twin Cyclops to raise its bone club in defense as it was smashed deep into the ground.
Before long, the Twin Cyclops let out a mournful, furious roar, as the chill of the Ultimate Ice had invaded its organs, freezing them solid.
This was fatal; even with the Twin Cyclops's formidable constitution, it was difficult to endure.
Yang Hao did not delay, manipulating the Soul-Devouring Spider Leg Bone to devour rapidly, denying the creature a chance to evolve into a soul ring, eventually draining the Twin Cyclops until it was nothing but a dried corpse.
"You moron, didn't you see me behind that big guy?"
Crawling out from beneath the Twin Cyclops, Yang Hao couldn't help but curse at the Vajra Dharma Body.
This thing was, after all, an acquired construct; its intelligence was far too lacking.
It had been so focused on attacking that it completely forgot he was still behind the Twin Cyclops. When the creature was hacked down, he had been pinned underneath.
To make matters worse, this thing kept hacking away, smashing the entire body of the Twin Cyclops into the ground, further crushing him. If his own constitution hadn't been sufficiently robust, he would have been flattened to death.
What a moron of a Dharma Body!
Feng Ling, who had walked over, smiled, while Wan Hun and Sleep Nightmare struggled to hold back their laughter.
This Holy Son could be quite amusing at times.
After cursing for a while, Yang Hao looked in a certain direction; his powerful spiritual perception allowed him to sense that people were approaching.
Before long, several figures rushed over from that direction, the most conspicuous among them being a cold and elegant mature woman.
"Seven Treasures Glazed Pagoda!"
Seeing the crystal-clear pagoda martial soul of the cold woman, Yang Hao's eyes lit up.
"Such dense evil energy! They are Evil Soul Masters, kill them!"
The leading elder looked at the four of them, his face grim as he ordered the slaughter.
Regarding Evil Soul Masters, their Nine Treasures Glazed Sect held the same attitude as Shrek Academy. Furthermore, many members of their sect served in the Shrek Inspectorate, including his own son, who had died at the hands of Evil Soul Masters.
To him, Evil Soul Masters were always to be killed on sight!
"Are we being too benevolent?"
Yang Hao was stunned. He hadn't even found an excuse to seize that Seven Treasures Glazed Pagoda martial soul for research yet, and they were already initiating the attack.
"Indeed, a bit too benevolent."
Feng Ling replied indifferently, then activated her martial soul. Nine soul rings manifested, and the final blood-colored ring in particular left the group, who were preparing to strike, frozen in place.
"Titled Douluo!"
The leading elder's expression changed drastically. He was only an eighty-ninth-level Soul Douluo; he had absolutely no chance of winning against such a Titled Douluo.
But how could there be an Evil Soul Master of Titled Douluo rank here?
"Scatter and flee!"
Without the slightest hesitation, he decisively ordered them to scatter and save their lives; better that one might escape than none.
Unfortunately, his shout came too late. The other eight had already been taken down by a wave of spiritual attacks from Wan Hun and Sleep Nightmare.
They might struggle to win quickly against a Soul Douluo, but anyone below that rank was killed in an instant.
The leading elder was also crippled by a single strike from Feng Ling; the gap in strength was simply too vast.
"Leave the one with the Seven Treasures Glazed Pagoda martial soul."
After Yang Hao said this, he retracted the Vajra Dharma Body into his body, his martial soul possessing him and merging with his own form.
He guided the source and bloodline power he had just devoured from the Twin Cyclops to release and fuse with his One-Eyed Vajra martial soul.
The One-Eyed Vajra martial soul was a mutation formed from the fusion of the Strength Clan's Great Strength Gorilla martial soul and the Cyclops martial soul, but by comparison, the Cyclops martial soul was more powerful and held greater potential.
According to the ancient texts he had read, the Cyclops were descendants of the Titan Giants, and the Titan Giants were god-level existences comparable to the Behemoths of the Dragon race.
The Titan Snow Demon of the Far North possessed the bloodline of the Titan Giants.
The Titan Giants themselves possessed the strongest chaos attribute, capable of wielding any elemental power, which was similar to the Dragon race—the Dragon race had many branches of elemental attributes, and even possessed the Nine Great Dragon Kings.
Yang Hao wanted to purify his One-Eyed Vajra martial soul into a Cyclops martial soul, and then evolve it toward a Titan Giant martial soul.
Having devoured some Cyclops soul beasts previously had already given him some intuition, and now, with the addition of the powerful bloodline and source power of this Twin Cyclops, he would surely be able to complete the purification in one go.
The Twin Cyclops did not disappoint Yang Hao, as he guided the power accumulated by the One-Eyed Vajra martial soul to erupt, initiating the purification and evolution.
