Limit Douluo

When Gu Qingshan saw the Sky Azure Bull Python again, it was already at death's door. Upon learning that the Titan Giant Ape had died, it let out a mournful cry.

Bibi Dong ended the Sky Azure Bull Python's life of more than a hundred thousand years with a single sword stroke, just as before, then handed the fallen Soul Bone to Gu Qingshan.

She took a deep breath, walked over to Da Ming's Soul Ring, and sat down cross-legged. Raising her right hand, she touched the blood-red Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring.

The Sky Azure Bull Python's Soul Ring was even more violent than the Titan Giant Ape's. Its negative impacts—rage, savagery, resentment, and the like—were several times stronger.

Still, none of it could do anything to Bibi Dong.

Two days later, Bibi Dong opened her eyes. Her aura had grown profound and unfathomable.

Level ninety-nine, a Limit Douluo!

After absorbing two Hundred Thousand Year Soul Rings in succession, Bibi Dong had finally advanced to Limit Douluo.

Bibi Dong rose to her feet and looked at her hands.

They were still the same hands: long, fair, and slender-fingered. But now they held a power she had never felt before.

Bibi Dong looked over at Gu Qingshan, the corners of her mouth lifting slightly.

Her First Martial Soul, the Death Spider Emperor, had only one Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring. It had come from Xiao Wu's mother.

For decades, she hadn't obtained a second one.

But this trip had brought her two Hundred Thousand Year Soul Rings at once, elevating her to Limit Douluo.

Qingshan really was her lucky star!

"Qingshan."

"Hmm?"

"Thank you."

Bibi Dong walked over, crouched down in front of Gu Qingshan, and reached out to wipe the crumbs of Blue Silver Leaf stuck to the corner of his mouth.

"Let's go. It's time to head back."

By the time they returned to Spirit City, it was already the following evening.

Gu Qingshan entered the courtyard and crossed the stretch of Blue Silver Grass, rustling in the evening breeze like a blue ocean. He opened the bedroom door, then closed it behind him.

He took the two Soul Bones from his chest.

One was a Left Arm Bone from the Titan Giant Ape. It was a little larger than an adult's arm bone, and a dark-red sheen covered its surface.

The other was a Head Soul Bone from the Sky Azure Bull Python. It was shaped like an irregular, many-sided crown. Its surface was crystal clear, and through the translucent bone, he could see fine, vein-like patterns within.

After composing himself, Gu Qingshan took a deep breath and pressed the Head Soul Bone against his forehead.

The instant the Soul Bone touched his forehead, a cool sensation, like mountain spring water, flowed from the point of contact into the space between his brows.

A blue halo lit up between his brows, then gradually spread until it shrouded his entire head in a blue-green glow.

Energy began pouring into him, growing stronger by the moment.

An hour later, the fusion was complete, and his health bar reached eighty thousand.

At the same time, he gained two Soul Bone Skills.

Azure Slowing Divine Claw could condense a gigantic energy claw to physically strike an enemy while inflicting a powerful slowing effect, leaving the target sluggish. It was a skill that combined offense, control, and weakening.

Azure Annihilation Divine Thunder unleashed terrifying blue divine lightning with a massive area of effect.

Gu Qingshan stood up and rolled his head around.

The fusion of the Head Soul Bone caused him no discomfort whatsoever. Instead, he had the strange feeling that his head had become lighter.

It hadn't actually grown lighter. His increased mental strength had simply made his brain process information faster.

It was like the difference between an old computer that took ages to open a program and a brand-new computer that opened everything in an instant.

Next, he moved straight on to fusing the second Soul Bone.

The instant the Left Arm Bone touched his left arm, dark-red light burst from the point of contact.

His left arm turned transparent within the glow, revealing the bones beneath his skin.

The Soul Bone's energy began to seep into him. A dark-red sheen appeared on his bones, matching the luster of the Soul Bone's surface exactly.

In less than an hour, the fusion of the Titan Giant Ape Left Arm Bone was complete, and his health bar reached ninety thousand.

He also gained two Soul Bone Skills.

Gravity Swamp created a high-gravity field within a designated area, restricting enemies' movement and speed.

Titan Firmament Breaker was an extremely powerful ranged single-target attack. It concentrated its strength into a single point, unleashing terrifying power comparable to a Titled Douluo's ninth Soul Skill.

Titan Firmament Breaker and Azure Annihilation Divine Thunder made up for his shortcomings.

He had always lacked ways to attack proactively. Shield Slam was an active attack skill, but its damage was truly pathetic.

Heroic Leap was mainly for movement and control, and its damage could be ignored.

Now that he had gained two powerful attack skills, his combat ability would become even greater and more versatile.

While Gu Qingshan and his master had grown much stronger, Tang San and his father had also made considerable progress.

Inside a secret chamber in the King of Slaughter Mansion, in the City of Slaughter.

Tang Hao knelt before a stone platform, his eyes blood-red.

Compared to two months earlier, his aura had changed. It had become more violent, more evil, and more domineering, as if something inside him had awakened.

Under the infusion of the City of Slaughter's enormous killing energy, his Soul Power Level had risen from ninety-five to ninety-seven.

He was countless times stronger than he had been two months ago.

He had become the new King of Slaughter.

"Gu Qingshan." He whispered those three words, each one steeped in a hatred that cut to the bone.

"Just you wait."

Tang San stood at the entrance to the secret chamber, watching his father's blood-red eyes as his expression gradually twisted.

Tang Hao turned around and looked at his son.

The once upright, well-behaved boy now stood at the entrance to the secret chamber, covered in blood. His black robe was soaked through, blood spattered his face, and bloody streaks clung to his hair.

His eyes were dark red, and a thin haze of blood clouded his pupils.

Behind him, dark-red Blue Silver Grass, steeped in the aura of death, spread silently across the ground.

Tang Hao looked at the dark-red Blue Silver Grass, at the faintly glowing, scale-like leaves in the darkness, and at the female corpse tangled among its roots. His eyes widened for a moment, then returned to normal.

Ever since becoming a eunuch, Tang San's personality seemed to have undergone a drastic change. His mind had grown increasingly twisted and depraved.

The Tang San of today flew into a rage at the slightest provocation. He often took pleasure in torturing his victims to death, even laughing wildly as he did so. It was enough to send a chill down anyone's spine.

This was already the tenth maid to meet a terrible end this month.

But a mere maid was easily replaced. There were plenty of them in the City of Slaughter.

Tang Hao didn't stop Tang San's misdeeds. Letting it out was better than bottling it up.

Tang San's Blue Silver Grass had also mutated. Under the corrosive influence of the City of Slaughter's killing energy, his frenzied slaughter, and the hatred and despair that nourished his heart, the Blue Silver Emperor had mutated into Soul-Devouring Blue Silver Grass.

Even his Soul Power Level had reached the astonishing level of forty.

In just two months, he had gone from level thirty-two to level forty. His speed was only a little slower than that of a certain cheat.
