Eastern Sovereign Taiyi Descends Like a God! Ye Lengleng's Nine-Heart Begonia!

Tang Shuo carefully set the snake venom he had just acquired aside, then began to busy himself.

From his storage soul tool, he continuously took out bottles and jars of all sizes.

He uncorked them and poured their colorful liquids, powders that gave off all manner of strange odors, and even writhing poisonous insects into the enormous bath barrel in one go.

After settling Dugu Yan, Ye Lengleng still felt uneasy and followed him over.

The moment she saw the scene before her, she was completely stunned.

The enormous bath barrel was no longer filled with clear water.

Instead, it held a barrel of pitch-black, viscous liquid like ink, bubbling with strange bubbles.

Tens of thousands of poisons mingled, collided, and devoured one another within it. The smell alone made Ye Lengleng, a Nine-Heart Begonia soul master, dizzy and unable to circulate her soul power properly.

How was this medicinal liquid?!

This was clearly a barrel of fatal water capable of poisoning a dragon to death!

"Tang Shuo..."

Ye Lengleng's voice was filled with shock.

"Y-you're sure you want to use this thing for cultivation?"

Without turning his head, Tang Shuo kept moving as he poured another jar of purple scorpions inside.

"Of course."

"Otherwise, why would I go through all the trouble of collecting them?"

Ye Lengleng looked at the murky Myriad-Poison Fluid. Just looking at it made her scalp tingle, and she could not help but suck in a cold breath.

Her face was full of worry.

"But... this is too dangerous!"

"Any one of the poisons in there would be enough to kill a Soul King-level expert instantly! Let alone tens of thousands mixed together!"

"If even a little gets on you and you're poisoned, it'll cost you your life!"

The more Ye Lengleng spoke, the more anxious she became, her voice rising several notches.

"Something this poisonous!"

"Even the Jade Emperor himself couldn't save you!"

"The Jade Emperor?"

He gave a soft laugh.

"Even if the Jade Emperor came, he'd have to make way for me."

A figure surfaced in his mind.

Tang San.

That guy possessed the secret arts of the Tang Sect, with bizarre methods that emerged one after another.

Not to mention that behind him stood the world-renowned Clear Sky Douluo.

If he wanted to completely surpass him in strength, how could he do it without being ruthless toward himself?

It was only fair.

With those words, Tang Shuo no longer hesitated.

He took a deep breath and removed his shirt, revealing a lean, muscular upper body with smooth lines.

Then, under Ye Lengleng's horrified gaze, he stepped into the black iron bath barrel and slowly lowered himself in.

Hiss—!

The ink-black poison liquid instantly submerged his chest, producing a piercing sound like flesh being corroded.

An indescribable agony swept through Tang Shuo's limbs and bones like a tidal wave!

Tens of thousands of toxins drilled madly into his body through every pore at the same time!

Tearing!

Numbness!

Burning!

Corrosion!

All kinds of pain intertwined, nearly shattering his nerves completely!

"Ugh!"

Tang Shuo's face instantly turned deathly pale. Veins bulged on his forehead, and beads of sweat the size of beans rolled down continuously.

Yet he still gritted his teeth and made no sound.

Ye Lengleng's heart leaped into her throat.

Instinctively, she wanted to rush forward and pull Tang Shuo out of that barrel of fatal water.

But at that moment.

A sudden change erupted!

Boom!

A terrifying pressure beyond description suddenly burst from Tang Shuo's body!

Golden light shot into the sky, illuminating the entire dormitory's backyard as brightly as day.

A phantom of a deity slowly emerged behind Tang Shuo.

Behind Him, nine radiant blazing suns slowly revolved, emitting holy light capable of purifying all filth in the world!

Eastern Sovereign Taiyi!

This was Tang Shuo's true martial soul!

"Ah..."

The sacred, boundless pressure bore down heavily on Ye Lengleng like a tangible mountain.

Her breath caught, her legs went weak, and she nearly dropped to her knees in worship on the spot.

This... this was not a presence an ordinary martial soul could possibly possess!

Ye Lengleng's entire body stiffened.

This... this was...

Tang Shuo's true martial soul?!

That noble Eastern Emperor Bell, that domineering Solar Corona Divine Wheel...

So... so they were merely weapons in the hands of this deity?!

She had always thought Tang Shuo, like herself, had awakened only a top-tier tool martial soul.

But the scene before her completely overturned everything she knew.

How was this a tool martial soul?!

This was clearly a god walking among mortals!

"Demon Prodigy..."

Ye Lengleng murmured to herself.

"This guy... really is a Demon Prodigy through and through..."

She could not imagine it.

Once Tang Shuo, with such a terrifying martial soul, truly matured, just how terrifying would he become?

A Titled Douluo?

No.

That might not even be his limit.

At that thought, Ye Lengleng's heartbeat inexplicably quickened.

Earlier, she had thought he took Dugu Yan's snake venom because he had some interest in Dugu Yan.

Now it seemed that she had overthought it.

This man probably cared only about cultivation and growing stronger.

That meant... he probably did not have a girlfriend yet, right?

Ye Lengleng unconsciously straightened her chest.

In terms of looks and figure, she was not inferior to Dugu Yan in the slightest.

If she took the initiative...

Her chances should still be quite good.

Just as Ye Lengleng's thoughts ran wild, Tang Shuo's condition in the bath barrel took a sharp turn for the worse.

"Ugh..."

A suppressed groan escaped his throat.

Although the deity phantom was powerful, it was ultimately only a martial soul.

What the Myriad-Poison Fluid eroded was Tang Shuo's mortal flesh!

Eastern Sovereign Taiyi's phantom could suppress the toxins' rampage and refine and absorb them with Sun True Fire.

But that process placed an unimaginable burden on Tang Shuo's body.

Fine cracks began to appear across his skin, and dark green poisonous blood seeped from them, a horrifying sight.

His consciousness also began to blur amid the endless pain.

No!

If this continues, my body will collapse first!

Before Myriad-Poison Fiend Legs are even completed, I'll be poisoned to death!

Tang Shuo suddenly opened his eyes and looked at Ye Lengleng in the distance.

"Ye Lengleng!"

"My body needs your healing to keep repairing itself."

Ye Lengleng jolted and abruptly came back to her senses.

Without the slightest hesitation, her soul power surged forth.

"Nine-Heart Begonia!"

With a clear cry, a begonia flower glowing pink all over with lustrous treasure light quietly bloomed in her palm.

Without a moment's delay, Ye Lengleng activated her soul power and directed her martial soul's healing light toward Tang Shuo in the bath barrel.

The pink glow flowed into Tang Shuo's body like the gentlest stream.

A warm current instantly spread through his limbs and bones.

So this was the power of the continent's greatest healing martial soul?

A trace of realization flashed through Tang Shuo's mind.

The meridians torn apart by the myriad poisons began to heal under the light.

The flesh that had just split open was fused back together by a strange force of life.
