His sister had been captured again, filling him with incomparable fury.

Since you've driven me into a corner, I'll slaughter my way into becoming a demon.

Chu Hao went completely mad. Hades Sword in hand, he charged straight into the crowd.

With one slash, killing intent surged. Wherever the sword qi pointed, nothing could stand in its way.

No matter who they were, none could evade his sword qi or killing moves.

One man, one sword—he cut down wave after wave of guards.

Even when soul skills struck him again and again, he still had to swing the sword in his hand.

At this moment, the Ancient Tree of Life Martial Soul played a crucial role.

Its powerful passive attributes continuously healed his wounds and provided him with an endless stream of strength.

In just a few short minutes, dozens of people had died beneath his sword.

And as his killing intent continued to condense, his combat power climbed to the limit. The more he fought, the braver he became, slaughtering until everyone's hearts trembled.

The current Chu Hao was like a war god who would never run dry and could never be killed, charging and cutting through the crowd.

Such a crazed, murderous scene left Emperor Xue Ye, Prince Xue Xing, Qian Renxue, and the others trembling in fear.

Just what kind of monster was this?

He had actually relied on the strength of a Great Soul Master to kill a group of guards whose soul power levels were far above his.

This was simply a demon.

So terrifying that it made them afraid.

Or rather, it made Emperor Xue Ye and Prince Xue Xing afraid.

If they could not kill him today and allowed him to grow, he would simply become the nightmare of the Heaven Dou Empire.

Perhaps one day, the Heaven Dou Empire would be destroyed beneath his sword.

In contrast, the more Qian Renxue watched, the happier she became.

The stronger Chu Hao performed, the more glorious his future achievements would be.

Right now, she only needed to quietly wait for the right opportunity.

"Quick, quick! Attack for Us! Kill this brat!"

The more Emperor Xue Ye watched, the more alarmed he became, and the more lingering fear he felt. He ordered more and more royal guards to take action.

And as their numbers increased, Chu Hao's situation grew worse and worse.

Even with the help of the Hades Sword, the Ancient Tree of Life, and the Slaughter Devouring Divine Ability, he still could not withstand an ever-growing number of guards.

This was exactly what was meant by a mighty dragon could not crush a local snake.

Even a powerful Titled Douluo would be worn to death by a human wave in this kind of situation, let alone him.

"System, I want a divine-bestowed soul ring!"

Chu Hao felt the killing intent around him growing denser and denser, and silently recited in his heart.

Right now, he desperately needed to increase his strength.

Gaining one more soul ring was equivalent to gaining another layer of assurance that he would survive.

As long as he could survive, he would have a chance to save his sister again, kill Xue Beng, and avenge his parents.

[Ding! In view of the host's dangerous situation and the high purity of the condensed killing intent, special approval has been granted to exchange for one divine-bestowed soul ring. We hope it can help the host escape this predicament.] [Ding! Divine-bestowed soul ring exchange successful. Host, please check and receive it.]

The system was worthy of being a transmigrator's greatest support. It could always play its role at a crucial moment.

No sooner had Chu Hao voiced his need than the system exchanged a divine-bestowed soul ring for him.

"System, immediately attach the soul ring to my martial soul."

After obtaining the divine-bestowed soul ring, Chu Hao was overjoyed and immediately gave the order.

[Ding! Divine-bestowed soul ring attached successfully. Congratulations, host, for obtaining a ten-thousand-year soul ring. Soul Skill: Bloodthirsty Frenzy (an amplification-type soul skill that can increase combat power by at least onefold. The more blood the Hades Sword devours, the stronger the amplification effect becomes, with no upper limit.)] [Note: The higher Bloodthirsty Frenzy's amplification, the greater the damage to the body. Once the body's endurance exceeds its limit, the host will explode and die. Host, please use it with caution.]

"Heavens!"

"What is that?"

The moment Chu Hao successfully attached the divine-bestowed soul ring, a dazzling black radiance flashed past, forcing everyone back.

At this moment, Chu Hao's soul power level rose to thirty-one.

After the black radiance dispersed, a jet-black soul ring hovered around the Hades Sword, shining in mutual brilliance with the two thousand-year soul rings.

This scene shocked everyone present.

Such a miraculous sight was far too astonishing to the world.

A ten-thousand-year soul ring had miraculously formed just like that.

This was simply too unbelievable.

It completely overturned everyone's understanding.

Could there be another way to obtain spirit rings besides hunting spirit beasts?

"Xue... Xue Xing, what just happened?"

"Why did he suddenly obtain a ten-thousand-year spirit ring? How exactly did he do it?"

Emperor Xue Ye stared at the unbelievable scene before him, muttering to himself.

"Your... Your Majesty, I... I don't know either."

Prince Xue Xing replied haltingly, his eyes filled with confusion and terror.

Even he had never heard of such a miracle.

But Qian Renxue's next words successfully cleared up their confusion.

"Father, this brat's background may not be simple."

"He was originally a Spirit Elder. He'd been hiding his strength this whole time."

"No, rather, he was being restrained by some powerful force."

"After that desperate battle just now, his potential was triggered, and that was what broke the restraints on him and allowed him to unleash his full strength."

Although Qian Renxue did not know what was going on either, only this explanation could barely make sense.

"Mm, that should be it. It seems this brat absolutely cannot be allowed to live."

"Xue Xing, order all your personal guards to kill this man immediately."

Emperor Xue Ye rather accepted Qian Renxue's explanation.

Although he could also guess that Chu Hao's identity might not be simple, things had already reached this point. They could only see it through to the end.

Kill him first, then talk.

"Yes!"

Prince Xue Xing knew the severity of the situation and, without the slightest hesitation, ordered all his personal guards to attack.

That was a spirit master squad formed from seven Spirit Kings and two Spirit Emperors.

Even when facing a powerful Spirit Sage, they would still have the strength to fight.

"Heh, finally getting serious."

"In that case, I'll make sure none of you return."

Chu Hao looked at the personal guard squad charging toward him and sneered inwardly.

He decisively activated the third spirit skill he had just obtained, continuously increasing his strength.

In order to push the amplification effect of his third spirit skill to the limit, he madly killed the lower-cultivation guards and devoured their blood.

By the time the personal guard squad arrived, more than a hundred people had already died beneath his sword.

At this moment, his third spirit skill had already doubled his combat power.

Combined with the amplification from Slaughter Devouring Divine Ability, his combat power had already reached its peak.

To kill anyone below Spirit King, he only needed one sword strike.

"Kill!"

Chu Hao let out an angry roar, releasing killing intent that surged to the heavens. Combined with his second spirit skill, it produced an effect far beyond its limits.

That evil sound, filled with endless killing intent, was like arrows piercing deep into everyone's hearts.

Those more than ten meters away from Chu Hao were still all right. They were not affected too much; at most, it felt as if their heads had suffered a heavy blow, leaving them a little dizzy.

And the farther they were from Chu Hao, the weaker the effect became.

But the people within ten meters were affected much more severely. The closer they were, the greater the impact.

Those with cultivation below Spirit Elder bled from all seven orifices and died on the spot.

Spirit Elders fainted on the spot, powerless to keep fighting.

Spirit Ancestors were also shaken until their heads buzzed, falling into fear and unable to extricate themselves.

Only the Spirit Kings and Spirit Emperors who had just come charging over were barely unaffected, merely experiencing a brief moment of blankness in their awareness.

The Spirit Kings were dazed for about three seconds, while the Spirit Emperors were dazed for nearly one second.

But it was this brief daze that caught the personal guard squad off guard, creating the perfect opportunity for Chu Hao. He cut down two Spirit Kings in succession.

[Ding! Congratulations, host, for collecting a total of five hundred souls and obtaining two high-quality Spirit King souls. Reward: all spirit rings' age increased by five hundred years, spirit power increased by one level. May the host keep up the good work.]
