The Power of a God

If he had a choice, Sauron would only want to kill Hannibal right now. ღ(¯`◕‿◕´¯) ♫ ♪ ♫ ♫ ♪ ♫ (¯`◕‿◕´¯)ღ

But at this moment, Sauron had to consider whether he could escape unscathed this time.

He, Sauron, Martial Soul "Demon King Ring," Level 95 Power Attack System Titled Douluo, and is the captain of the "Slaughter City" Law Enforcement Team. He once achieved 79 victories in the Hell Slaughter Arena and is only a few steps away from becoming a true "Deathgod."

Aside from the current Slaughter King and the other retainers who, like him, were personally recruited by the previous Slaughter King, Sauron is truly the Outcast the Slaughter City!

In the past, under the divine might of the "Slaughter City," even Titled Douluo would be easily killed by Sauron because they could not use their Soul Skill.

In the Douluo Continent, Soul Master differ from Soul Beast in that they possess powerful innate physiques. The existence of Soul Ring and Soul Skill accounts for over 70-80% of Soul Master's combat strength. Once they lose their Soul Ring and Soul Skill, most Soul Master are no different from pigs or sheep to be slaughtered in the eyes of Soul Master of the same level who can use Soul Skill.

But what on earth is this guy in silver armor and wearing a silver mask?!

When he first sent Myers and Norman flying, Sauron thought they were Titled Douluo. But the fact that their Soul Power fluctuations were only at the Soul Emperor level after their first exchange was already hard for him to accept.

Why is he so strong without using Soul Skill?! He hasn't even shown his Soul Ring yet?!

Suppressing the suffocating feeling in his chest that made him want to vomit blood, Sauron once again blocked the blade that was slashing down on him with his spear. The "Demon King Spear Demon King Ring," which was conjured by the Demon King Ring's Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Skill, was originally as light as a feather in his hand, but in this instant it became heavier than ten thousand pounds, as if a mountain was pressing down on him.

"Snap—!"

"Not good!" Sauron caught the crisp cracking sound in his ears, and his dark pupils suddenly shrank to the size of pinpoints.

"Hissing sound—!"

A mournful cry rang out as the Nightmare Warhorse, conjured by Sauron's Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Skill, collapsed to the ground with all four hooves broken. Sauron himself was also forced to the ground by the Three-Pointed Double-Edged Blade, forced to bend over with his feet on the ground.

This scene plunged the entire Cold Stone Town into a deathly silence.

"Glug!"

Chen Xin swallowed hard, watching "Erlang" hold the gun in one hand, the three-pointed blade pressing down on the black-armored, black-spear Titled Douluo as he slowly bent over. He suddenly felt a little fortunate that after his father, Chen Jianjun, broke through to Level 97, he hadn't had time to urge him to spar with "Erlang".

If Dad goes to spar with "Erlang" himself and gets completely crushed, then he's simply outmatched and has nothing to say.

But if you encourage yourself to seek out torture, then...

"Hiss—!" Chen Xin shuddered involuntarily.

Despite having already broken through to the Level 91 Titled Douluo realm, Chen Xin Chen Xin still terrified of his father.

"Ninth Soul Skill - Doomsday Volcano -!!!"

As his "Nightmare Warhorse" wailed, it turned into black mist and dissipated. Sauron, who was already kneeling on one knee, squeezed out eight words through gritted teeth, and his Soul Power poured into the dark gold ring on the middle finger of his right hand as if it were free.

In an instant, a terrifying aura that made everyone in Cold Stone Town tremble suddenly appeared beneath Sauron.

"Boom--!!!"

Before anyone could react, a torrent of fiery red magma erupted from the ground in front of Sauron. "Erlang," standing in front of Sauron, was the first to be hit, his entire body covered in the red magma.

Feeling the immense pressure in his hands suddenly ease, Sauron's pale, handsome face immediately lit up with joy. He straightened his back instantly, swung the "Demon King Spear" with its deep knife marks horizontally, smashed the blade, and thrust the spear at "Erlang," who was enveloped in lava.

As you can see, the tip of the spear is now so dark that it seems to devour light, and even space itself appears distorted.

"Clang—!"

Amidst the clanging of metal, the joy on Sauron's face froze, and disbelief appeared in his eyes.

Looking down at the gleaming eighth and ninth dark Soul Ring at his feet, Sauron blurted out, "This is impossible—!!!"

Because of her intense emotions, her originally hoarse voice suddenly became as high-pitched as a young girl's.

However, no one could understand Sauron's feelings at that moment, or the intense shock he was experiencing.

Not only did it take a direct hit from the ' Ninth Soul Skill - Doomsday Volcano ', it also took a close-range single-target attack from the ' Eighth Soul Skill - Airspeed Star Mark '. And that doesn't even take into account that the ' Demon King Spear ' in its hand was transformed from the Fifth Soul Ring's Soul Skill, which itself had extremely strong attack bonuses.

But all of this didn't even hurt the person opposite them?!

It can't be wrong!

The feel of that shot just now told Sauron that his opponent was like a towering mountain, unmoved, or like a vast ocean, unfathomable!

"Retreat--!"

The moment this thought crossed his mind, Sauron's body had already instinctively retreated dozens of meters.

Sauron retreated quickly, and almost at the same time, the blazing magma covering "Erlang" exploded, instantly obliterating everything within a radius of several meters into dust.

"Tap, tap, tap—"

Erlang walked step by step toward Sauron, his silver-white armor spotless, like a perfect collectible displayed in a showcase.

In this situation, the battles on all sides could no longer continue. All the Fallen Soul Master abandoned their opponents and huddled together, trying to stick together for warmth. Or they used their companions as shields to protect themselves from danger.

Sauron retreated again and again until he was backed up in front of Hannibal, Jeffrey Damo, and the others. When he had nowhere left to retreat, he had no choice but to speak, his voice dry and hoarse as he addressed the ever-approaching "Erlang":

"Wait... wait a minute!"

Erlang continued forward with unwavering steps.

"We can talk!"

Erlang advanced again, and Sauron and the others retreated.

"We admit defeat this time..."

At this moment, Chen Xin, along with Dugu Bo, Yue Guan, and Gui Mei Sauron, surrounded Soren and the others from behind.

Sensing this, Hannibal, Jeffrey Damo, and the others looked fearful, but Sauron remained unconcerned, his eyes fixed on the slowly approaching "Erlang":

"I admit you're strong, but we're not pushovers either. Under the divine might of the Divine City, none of you can use your Soul Skill!"

"I don't believe you can kill us all before your Soul Power runs out!"

"Besides our Law Enforcement Team, there are other powerful individuals in the ' Slaughter City.' Once your Soul Power is exhausted, the Great King will surely send others again!"

Seemingly threatened by these words, "Erlang" stopped seven or eight meters away from Sauron and the others. His indifferent eyes, hidden beneath his silver-white mask, calmly looked at Sauron and Hannibal.

On the other side, Ling Yi, who was on the roof of the Spirit Hall Branch, also frowned slightly.

He wasn't worried about the threat in Sauron's words, but rather about how to clean up this mess.

You should know that when Ling Yi first received Jiulan's distress signal, he only thought that a certain number of Fallen Soul Master were attacking Cold Stone Town. He never thought that it would eventually develop into such a large-scale situation.

Bringing along Chen Xin, who had just become Titled Douluo, and Dugu Bo, who had just become Soul Douluo, was merely a habitual way to play it safe.

In addition, this operation also serves to showcase Chen Xin and Dugu Bo's current strength to the outside world, thus paving the way for Lingyun City to enter another stage of development.

They initially thought it was just a show of divine intervention, a swift and decisive annihilation of Fallen Soul Master, and a chance to gain some supporters for Lingyun City. Who would have thought the conflict would escalate from Four-Ring Soul Ancestor to a point where even Titled Douluo were struggling to contain it!

There was no problem with letting "Erlang" continue to kill Sauron and the others. Ling Yi completely scoffed at the idea that "they couldn't be killed before their Soul Power was exhausted." He wasn't Zhang Sanfeng, who was a hundred years old.

What Ling Yi really needs to consider is whether Tang Chen, who is currently the "Slaughter King," will come out after he wipes out these people.

Admittedly, even if Tang Chen were at his peak, with Erlang's full power, he wouldn't be afraid of him at all. Tang Chen, the "Slaughter King," whose mind was controlled by the "Blood-Red Nine-Headed Bat King," would be even less of a problem.

However, Tang Chen's appearance could easily raise a problem that Ling Yi has to take seriously.

Asura God!

If we follow the plot of the original novel, Tang Chen should currently be in the Eighth Trial of the "Asura God Trial".

With Tang Chen's talent, although he was tricked by the Rakshasa God and his "Eighth Trial - Obtaining the Recognition of the Asura Sacred Sword" was stagnant because his mind was corrupted and degenerated by the "Blood-Red Nine-Headed Bat King", before Tang San appeared, the Asura God's attention was most likely still on Tang Chen.

If Ling Yi remembered correctly, in the initial storyline of the Douluo Continent, the Asura God was merely an enforcer of the Divine Realm, stronger than the God of the Sea God, but only by a limited margin. At least the Sea God wasn't intimidated by the Asura God and even dared to steal his successor.

Although Ling Yi has now planted "Blue Silver Grass" all over most of the Douluo Continent, and can mobilize the power of billions of "Blue Silver Grass" at any time, and even slightly mobilize the power of heaven and earth of this continent by taking advantage of the special environment of the Douluo Continent after its transformation, he can only easily crush the three newly born gods in the original work: "Sea God" Tang San, "Rakshasa God" Bibi Dong, and "Angel God" Qian Renxue.

The main issue is the lack of clarity regarding the power levels and manifestations of deities after reaching level 100 and becoming a god.

Ling Yi knew very well that even with his full power, he couldn't make the Douluo Continent beneath his feet drift.

Therefore, it's best to play it safe when facing the Asura God, whose combat power is unknown.

Not to mention, apart from Asura God who is likely focused on Tang Chen, there are also Bibi Dong, Yue Guan, Gui Mei, and others present. Unless there is hatred or conflict of interest, Ling Yi has no intention of killing them.

In this case, it would be better if Tang Chen didn't show up. If he did show up and was defeated by "Erlang", Qian Daoliu might come over to "spar" with Erlang.

Don't think that just because Qian Daoliu lost to Tang Chen once, he will consider himself Qian Daoliu to "Erlang" because "Erlang" defeated Tang Chen.

Perhaps it's due to a counter in Martial Soul? Or perhaps Tang Chen is not in good condition?

If she wanted to, Qian Daoliu could always find a reason to convince herself.

In this situation, does defeating "Erlang" indirectly mean that Qian Daoliu defeated Tang Chen once?

At the very least, one could judge Tang Chen's current strength level by observing Erlang's abilities.

His mind raced, and in reality, only a few breaths had passed before Ling Yi's eyes suddenly sharpened.

Almost simultaneously, six Soul Ring —five black and one red—appeared beneath Erlang's feet. A crimson light enveloped his entire body, and the "Three-Pointed Double-Edged Blade" in his hand instantly grew tenfold, slashing down at Sauron and the others seven or eight meters away.

"What...?!"

The minds of dozens of Fallen Soul Master on Sauron's side were taken over by the unconventional Soul Ring Configuration under Erlang's feet. By the time they realized Erlang's movements, the blade of the "three- Three-Pointed Double-Edged Blade" that was tens of meters long was already at their heads.

There was no time to dodge, not to mention that Erlang's fighting spirit had already locked onto them. Under the pressure of his mental will, no one could move even a finger. They could only watch helplessly as the blade drew closer and closer, until finally the blade split, dividing them all evenly in two.

"Boom—!!!"

Amidst a tremendous roar, a huge crater, over forty meters long, ten feet wide, and of unknown depth, appeared on what was once the street of Cold Stone Town.

The earth trembled, and the townspeople, still hiding in the rooms of the Spirit Hall Branch, remained silent, praying in their hearts and silently awaiting the final judgment.

As for Chen Xin, Yue Guan, Bibi Dong, Yi Linlie, and the others who were facing the scene directly outside, they had already turned into statues.

a long time.

"No... that's not right—" Chen Xin, as if waking from a dream, looked at "Erlang" who had already retracted his Soul Ring into his body, and immediately jumped over, grabbing "Erlang's" arm. "Why can you still use your Soul Skill?"

"And another thing!" Chen Xin's gaze at Erlang was now burning with a desire to devour him. "I told you you never revealed your Soul Ring, so it turns out..."

On the other side, while Ling Yi was distracted controlling "Erlang" to deal with Chen Xin's harassment, he looked up at the blood-red light screen in the sky, which was gradually becoming unpredictable.

The blood-red light screen was reflected in the clear black and white eyes. Ling Yi seemed to see a pair of blood-red eyes staring at him from behind the screen. The eyes were filled with anger and killing intent, exuding a chilling evil aura!

Of course, the gaze of those blood-red eyes did not fall on Ling Yi, but focused on "Erlang" and Chen Xin.

To be precise, it's about "Erlang".

"Crack—!" The armrest of the chair, made of precious metal, was suddenly crushed, and a blood-red glint flashed in the eyes of the Slaughter King.

"That kind of Soul Ring Configuration... is he a chosen successor of another deity?"

Even though his elite troops had been wiped out and he was furious, the Slaughter King had no time to think about Sauron and the others. Instead, he was extremely concerned about Erlang's identity.

Having some of Tang Chen's memories, he knew very well that in the tens of thousands of years of the Douluo Continent, apart from the rewards for completing the God Trial, no one had ever possessed Soul Ring Configuration like that!

Let alone Twin Martial Souls, not to mention that the Slaughter King's consciousness is sometimes confused and his memories are incomplete due to Tang Chen's resistance, even Tang Chen himself is not sure if Twin Martial Souls can really achieve this.

In Tang Chen's memory, although a Soul Master with Twin Martial Souls was once born in the Douluo Continent, when the other party added Soul Ring to the Second Martial Soul, the two Martial Soul clashed when the other party added a third Soul Ring, and the other party eventually exploded and died!

"Could it be that this person has found a way to overcome the difficulties in cultivating Twin Martial Souls?"

In Cold Stone Town, Bibi Dong's beautiful eyes couldn't help but linger on "Erlang," and she thought to herself.
