Making Peace with the Soul Beasts (Seeking Collection!)

"It is only natural for soul masters to kill soul beasts!"

"You, Tang Hao, disregarded human ethics to consort with a soul beast, killing two of my Martial Soul Hall's Title Douluo, and even my son died indirectly by your hand!"

"You are truly a traitor to our human race!"

Qian Daoliu gritted his teeth.

In an unnamed forest (the original work really calls it an 'unnamed forest'!), an aged human face condensed upon the trunk of the Blue Silver King.

Watching the sky screen, it immediately burst into tears.

"My Empress! Where on earth have you gone?!"

The Blue Silver King wailed aloud.

Just then, the narration from the sky screen turned deep and oppressive, and the imagery grew dim.

[Paper, after all, cannot wrap up fire. When the news that a Title Douluo had fallen in love with a transformed Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast reached the ears of the then-thriving Martial Soul Hall, a catastrophe that would sweep across the continent was already destined.]

The scene shifted abruptly!

In the sky, several formidable figures streaked across the air. The leader, dressed in magnificent papal robes and wielding the Angel Holy Sword, possessed a handsome face marred by a trace of greed and arrogance.

It was none other than the former Pope of Martial Soul Hall, Qian Xunji!

Behind him were two powerhouses at the Title Douluo level, along with several elder-level experts from Martial Soul Hall.

Their target was aimed directly at the two figures fleeing desperately in the distance.

They were Tang Hao and... Ah Yin, who was already six months pregnant and struggling to move!

"Boom--!"

The entire continent erupted in chaos upon seeing this scene!

"Martial Soul Hall! It's Martial Soul Hall again!"

"What are they trying to do? Hunt a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast? That Ah Yin is a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast?!"

"Heavens! They are actually attacking a pregnant woman!"

"Are you an idiot? If soul masters don't kill soul beasts, what should they kill? This Tang Hao is a traitor; he actually consorted with a soul beast? It makes me want to vomit. You're going to screw a blade of grass?"

In the scene, Qian Xunji's lofty voice resounded through the clouds:

"Tang Hao! Hand over that soul beast, and for the sake of the Clear Sky Sect, I can spare your life! A mere soul beast is destined only to be killed!"

"Tang Hao, I truly feel ashamed for you. I feel sorrow for the Clear Sky Sect!"

Facing Qian Xunji's mockery and coercion, the sharpness in Tang Hao's eyes transformed into pure killing intent.

However, the narration of the sky screen ruthlessly revealed the cruel reality.

[At this moment, although Tang Hao was at the peak of the Soul Douluo realm, he had yet to absorb his ninth soul ring and was ultimately not a Title Douluo. Standing opposite him was Pope Qian Xunji, along with two other genuine Title Douluo, backed by a host of Soul Douluo and Soul Saint experts from Martial Soul Hall.]

[This was a battle with no chance of victory.]

In the scene, Tang Hao did not waste a single word, responding to Qian Xunji with action.

He shielded Ah Yin behind him, signaling her to retreat into the cave behind, while he stood like an iron tower, hammer in hand, blocking the path of everyone present.

The great battle was on the verge of breaking out!

However, at this tense moment, a crisp and loud cry of an infant suddenly echoed from within the cave.

This cry caused the murderous battlefield to pause for an instant.

Tang Hao shuddered, looking back toward the cave, his eyes filled with a mix of wild joy and worry.

Qian Xunji frowned, his greedy gaze passing over Tang Hao to look into the cave:

"A child? The child of a soul beast? Perfect, I'll finish them both off together!"

Before his voice had even faded, he transformed into a streak of golden light, the Angel Holy Sword thrusting directly at Tang Hao!

The battle erupted instantly!

Tang Hao roared, swinging his hammer to meet the attack.

However, two fists are no match for four hands; the other two Titled Douluo flanked him, and the light of countless soul skills completely submerged Tang Hao.

Just as everyone thought Tang Hao was about to perish, a soft yet incomparably brilliant red light shot up from the cave, instantly enveloping the entire battlefield.

In the scene, Ah Yin walked out slowly, holding an infant in swaddling clothes.

Her face was pale and her aura weak, but her eyes were incredibly resolute.

She gently placed the child into Tang Hao's arms, tenderly stroked the baby's cheek, and then took one last deep look at the battered Tang Hao.

"Hao, take our child and live on..."

Before she could finish, Ah Yin turned resolutely to face Qian Xunji and the others, spreading her arms wide.

"No--!"

Tang Hao's eyes split, and he let out a heart-wrenching roar.

Qian Xunji and the others also changed color, exclaiming:

"It's a sacrifice!

She's going to sacrifice herself!

Stop her!"

However, it was already too late.

[The most overbearing skill of a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast is not an attack, but a sacrifice.

To offer one's life, cultivation, and soul without reservation to the one they love most.

Once it begins, neither gods nor Buddhas can stop it.]

Outside the sky screen, at Shrek Academy.

Tang San watched the images on the screen, his body trembling violently.

Tang San looked at the gentle woman on the screen, watching her walk resolutely toward death to protect his father and his infant self.

His mind went blank, his heart feeling as if it were being torn apart.

Is this... the reason why I have no mother?

So, my birth was accompanied by my mother's death!

And the murderer... is the Martial Soul Hall!

Tang San's eyes turned red instantly, and tears flowed uncontrollably down his cheeks.

Tang San subconsciously clenched his pocket.

Inside lay the Gold Soul Coin he had just received from the Martial Soul Hall branch this morning; its cold touch now felt as scorching as a branding iron, burning his soul.

He gripped the Gold Soul Coin that represented the Martial Soul Hall, his knuckles turning white from the force, and word by word, he made a blood-oath in his heart.

[Martial Soul Hall... I, Tang San, will never share the same sky as you!]

Inside the sky screen, the light of the sacrifice reached its zenith.

Ah Yin's figure slowly dissipated in the red light, turning into the purest energy that surged into Tang Hao's body.

Tang Hao's soul power bottleneck was instantly shattered!

Level 90!

Level 91!

A Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Ring, scarlet as blood and dazzlingly bright, formed with a boom beneath his feet!

As the light faded, Ah Yin's figure vanished completely, leaving behind only a crystal-clear blue leg bone and a shimmering Blue Silver Grass seed, floating quietly in the air.

Tang Hao reached out and caught the seed and the soul bone; his eyes no longer held sorrow, only a monstrous rage and killing intent capable of burning the world to ashes.

Tang Hao lowered his head to look at his son, who was sleeping soundly despite the massive energy fluctuations, then looked up, his blood-red eyes locking onto the terrified Qian Xunji and the others.

"You... all must die!"

Before the words had even faded, Tang Hao held Tang San with one arm and raised the Clear Sky Hammer high with the other!

The nine soul rings behind him suddenly lit up, especially the final blood-colored soul ring, which erupted with blinding light!

[Great Sumeru Hammer ultimate technique—Ring Detonation!]

Boom! Boom! Boom!

A series of explosions rang out as the soul rings behind Tang Hao shattered one after another in an unprecedentedly violent display, pouring incomparable power into the Clear Sky Hammer!
