In the forest, Tang San extended the Eight Spider Lances from his back, absorbing the blood, flesh Soul Power of the surrounding Soul Beast.
"Phew~"
After grinding these shriveled corpses to dust, Tang San slowly opened his eyes, a flash of bloodlust in them.
"Father, I've leveled up! I've reached level sixty, the peak. One more Soul Ring and I'll be officially promoted to Soul Emperor."
Feeling the surging Soul Power within his body, Tang San couldn't stop smiling. How come he hadn't realized before that this method was so much better than arduous cultivation?
"Would the improvement be even greater if we were talking about human Soul Master?"
Tang San thought to himself that he was no longer satisfied with absorbing Soul Beast. Although the Soul Power of Soul Beast was strong, it needed to be filtered and the degree of Soul Power conversion was relatively low. It would be much better if it were humans.
"Good, very good!"
Tang Hao nodded, quite satisfied with Tang San's current cultivation speed. Although this might slightly alter his state of mind, he couldn't care less about that now.
"Little sister, don't absorb it for now. Take some time to digest what you've gained."
Yu Xiaogang, standing to the side, was somewhat worried. Would Tang San eventually fall into Evil and become a corrupted Soul Master if he continued to increase the age of his Soul Ring without restraint?
"Don't worry, teacher, I know what I'm doing."
Tang San licked his lips, his eyes gleaming with a bloodthirsty light. "These Soul Beast are all bastards who deserve to die. I'm doing this to rid the world of a scourge."
"It's good that you... you understand."
Yu Xiaogang hesitated, but had no good way to stop the other party, so he could only sigh softly and say nothing more.
"Let's go, mistress, I'll go find a suitable Soul Ring for you."
Tang Hao patted Tang San's head, his tone filled with pride. As expected of his son, he was determined and exceptionally talented.
"Um."
Tang San nodded and followed Tang Hao forward. Suddenly, a huge white spider web covered the woods ahead, blocking the three of them's path.
The next moment, countless spider webs appeared around them, blocking all escape routes and even sealing off the sky. Anyone who dared to fly would surely become easy prey.
"So it was you who killed our Soul-Devouring Demon Spider Clan members?"
A wisp of black mist dissipated, Zhuzhu swayed her slender waist as she slowly walked up to the three people, looking at them with a cold expression.
"Who are you?"
Tang Hao immediately summoned the Clear Sky Hammer, watching his opponent with a wary expression. He couldn't fathom the strength of this guy; he was definitely a master.
"I?"
Zhuzhu gently played with her jade-like hands, her four pairs of spider legs slowly spreading behind her back. "You killed my people for no reason, and you dare to ask who I am?"
"Did you know that in the Northern Underworld Continent, humans who indiscriminately kill Soul Beast are subject to legal consequences?"
Zhuzhu a cold shout, and her aura suddenly exploded. The Ferocious Beast aura of 500,000 years instantly suppressed Yu Xiaogang, who was the weakest among them. The way she looked at her prey almost scared Yu Xiaogang to death.
On Tang San's side, Tang Hao stopped Zhuzhu's momentum; otherwise, Tang San would have been kneeling on the ground trembling like Yu Xiaogang.
"Damn it! Tang Hao is actually too lazy to even care about me?"
Yu Xiaogang, kneeling on the ground, hated Tang Hao to the core for causing such a learned Grandmaster to lose his composure like this!
"Tang Hao!"
Yu Xiaogang gritted his teeth, instantly harboring a deep hatred for Tang Hao. He vowed that one day he would repay the humiliation he had suffered today!
"Oh? You're that Titled Douluo?"
Zhuzhu covered her mouth and chuckled softly, "Don't think I'm afraid of you just because you're Titled Douluo. Here, you have to abide by the rules!"
"Snort!"
Tang Hao swung his hammer fiercely, unleashing a burst of violent aura that instantly dissipated the opponent's oppressive aura. "Do I need you, a beast, to tell me what to do?"
If you know what's good for you, get lost, or this hammer of mine isn't something to be trifled with!
"Hehe, hahaha!"
Faced with Tang Hao's threat, Zhuzhu burst into laughter. "In this forest, you're the first human Soul Master to dare speak to me like that. Since that's the case, don't blame me!"
"Demon Spider Thorn!"
The next moment, the four pairs of sharp spider legs on Zhuzhu's back, resembling spears, shot out poisonous stings. The countless stings flew towards the three of them like a shower of flowers.
"Clear Sky Hammer!"
Tang Hao's expression hardened. He lifted Yu Xiaogang, who was still kneeling on the ground trembling, behind him and began to swing the sledgehammer around, deflecting the needles one by one.
Tiny needles struck the tree trunk, and instantly, a black mist entered the tree, corroding its interior completely before it collapsed to the ground.
Bang!
A loud crash as trees collapsed echoed through the air. Tang Hao broke out in a cold sweat. "What a poisonous needle! It corroded the heartwood in just one strike. I mustn't let it fall!"
"Divine Slaughter's Domain!"
Realizing that his opponent was no ordinary adversary, Tang Hao dared not hold back and immediately unleashed all his abilities.
The dark red killing intent solidified and spread out, instantly suppressing everyone except Tang Hao.
A powerful killing intent can weaken the enemy's overall attributes while increasing one's own attributes several times over.
"Being able to even see the Domain is enough for you to be proud of! Die!"
Tang Hao's eyes flashed with murderous intent, and the Clear Sky Hammer in his hand grew larger and larger, preparing to finish off Zhuzhu with a single blow.
"The Clear Sky Nine Absolutes! Collapse!"
"Field?"
Feeling the power of her domain surrounding her, Zhuzhu crossed her arms and sneered, "Child's play. You dare to show off a domain of this level? You primitive people of the Douluo Continent are truly arrogant."
"Asura Domain!"
The next moment, a dark purple array appeared, and the Asura God's inherent magical attributes instantly collided with the Asura God's remaining magical attributes in the Divine Slaughter's Domain.
After a brief stalemate, the Divine Slaughter's Domain was shattered instantly, and the next moment, the dark purple Asura Domain occupied the entire surrounding space.
"What?"
With the domain shattered, Tang Hao was also affected. The Clear Sky Hammer in his hand immediately became unstable. At this moment, Zhuzhu reached out and purple lightning Entanglement around Tang Hao, binding him.
"What?"
Tang Hao instinctively began to struggle, but the purple lightning's effects prevented him from mustering his Soul Power, let alone resisting.
"I even took it seriously, but I didn't expect you to only have this much strength."
Zhuzhu sighed softly, then extended her finger and gently touched her brow.
"Infinite Ray!"
The dark purple beam of light pierced through Tang Hao's arms in an instant, shattering the bones in both arms.
"Ah!"
The intense pain from the fractured bones in his arms made Tang Hao cry out, and the Martial Soul Clear Sky Hammer in his hand fell to the ground.
"If it weren't for the master's orders not to kill you, you would be dead already."
Zhuzhu walked up to the Clear Sky Hammer with cat-like steps and stomped on it hard.
Click!
The Clear Sky Hammer was stomped on and fine cracks appeared. Another stomp and it shattered.
"No! Ah!"
With his natal Martial Soul shattered and his mind and body severely damaged, Tang Hao coughed up a mouthful of blood and instantly lost consciousness.
