Douluo Continent: Simulating Douluo Dalu III to Screw Over Tang San
"Hmph..." Seeing that his son couldn't even control his own killing intent, Tang Hao snorted coldly, and then his Slaughter Domain erupted, suppressing Tang San's killing intent in an instant.
"After you obtain your Fifth Soul Ring, go to the Moonlight Pavilion and learn something from your aunt. Cleanse yourself of worldly desires. Only there can you control your killing intent at will." Tang Hao didn't mention Xiao Wu again. He knew his son was already deeply in love and couldn't be persuaded otherwise.
However, going to the Moonlight Pavilion was imperative; he didn't want Tang San to become an irrational killing machine because he couldn't control his killing intent.
Chapter 278 Xiao Wu: Little San, why have you become ugly?
After his murderous aura was suppressed, Tang San finally regained his senses.
Tang San glanced up at his father, a complex look flashing in his eyes, before slowly saying, "In this life, I will not marry anyone but Xiao Wu. Dad, you don't need to be so self-satisfied, saying you want me to marry that Gong Lan. With their extraordinary talents, you will never get your wish."
Tang San was well aware of the arrogance of the girls in the Team of the Gods, so he never considered having anything happen between himself and any of them. In fact, because he had been repeatedly humiliated by them, he felt more hatred towards them than anything else.
He then said to Tang Hao, "It doesn't matter if my Blue Silver Grass can't evolve into the Blue Silver Emperor. I can still continue to cultivate. Perhaps you don't know, Dad, but after I came out of the Slaughter City, I obtained the inheritance of a god. The reason why my Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul mutated is because of this."
Tang Hao looked at Tang San, his eyes filled with shock. "A god... you really obtained the inheritance of a god?"
As a disciple of the Clear Sky Sect, Tang Hao naturally knew about deities. Moreover, he had even delivered a message to Sea God Island when he was young, so he knew that there was a lineage on Sea God Island. However, he never expected that there would also be a lineage of deities in the Slaughter City.
"Yes, after leaving the Slaughter City, I obtained the Rakshasa God's inheritance." Tang San nodded and said, "However, to obtain the core inheritance and begin the Rakshasa God Trial, some conditions still need to be met. The Rakshasa God will notify me when the time is right."
"Very well, since that's the case, then Dad won't interfere in your private affairs anymore." Since his son has the potential to become a god, what else is there to say? Whether he can awaken the Blue Silver Emperor is not important at all. Being the emperor of the Blue Silver Grass Clan is nothing compared to being a god!
"Then let's go to the Star Dou Great Forest to hunt Soul Beast and get you your Fifth Soul Ring!" Tang Hao said again.
Tang San nodded in agreement; acquiring a Fifth Soul Ring had already wasted a lot of his time.
Immediately afterwards, the father and son left the Blue Silver Forest and headed towards the Star Dou Great Forest.
Star Dou Great Forest.
As evening approached and the sun set, the evening glow in the west contrasted beautifully with the Star Dou Great Forest, creating a magnificent and uniquely beautiful scene.
After a day of absorption, Xiao Wu had obtained its Seventh Soul Ring. The first six Soul Ring of Transformed Soul Beast can be condensed on its own, but the seventh and subsequent Soul Ring need to be obtained by hunting Soul Beast. The Soul Beast it hunted was a Three-Eyed Demon Fox that was nearly 50,000 years old.
The Three-Eyed Demon Fox is a spirit-type spirit, and also an agility-type spirit, making it very suitable as Xiao Wu's Seventh Soul Ring.
It has been more than five years since Xiao Wu left Shitrek Academy. After returning to the Star Dou Great Forest, she couldn't find Da Ming and Er Ming, and she couldn't even sense their presence. She could guess that Da Ming and Er Ming had probably been killed.
At that time, Xiao Wu was only a Soul Ancestor. Without the protection of Da Ming and Er Ming, she was filled with grief and indignation. In order to avoid being harmed by Soul Beast, she hid in various places and worked hard to cultivate. So, in just over five years, she cultivated from a Soul Ancestor to Soul Saint.
Of course, as a Transformed Soul Beast, she has uniquely advantageous cultivation conditions. As long as she digests her pre-transformation Soul Beast Soul Power, it would be incredibly easy for her to improve her strength before Maturity Stage.
That's why she was able to reach the Soul Saint level so quickly, and once she reached Soul Saint, she entered the Maturity Stage.
After reaching Maturity Stage, Xiao Wu could no longer bear the loneliness and decided to re-enter the human world.
Now, she no longer worries about being recognized as Soul Beast Transformation. Although her identity was leaked at the time, not many people actually knew what she looked like. Moreover, after entering Maturity Stage, her appearance has changed a lot. In the human world, as long as she is careful, she should not be recognized.
Rabbits are naturally restless, and if she were to stay in the Star Dou Great Forest any longer, it would be better to kill her. So when she had the thought of leaving, she didn't want to stay in the Star Dou Great Forest, such a sad place, for even a moment longer. Besides, she was going to the Human World to avenge her mother.
It was approaching dusk, and if she hurried, she should be able to leave the forest before dark. She was already quite eager to eat food from the human world, since for the past five years she had basically been eating wild fruits, and she was really not good at cooking.
Swish swish swish...
Xiao Wu sped through the Star Dou Great Forest, heading from the core area towards the outer perimeter.
After driving for about an hour, a plume of smoke rising from somewhere ahead caught her attention.
"There are people ahead. They must be hunting Soul Beast in the Star Dou Great Forest. It's getting dark, so they've stopped to camp." Xiao Wu cursed inwardly as she sped along, "Damn humans, all they know is hunting Soul Beast."
After she finished cursing, she realized that she was now practically half a human, and that to live in the human world, even if she knew she wasn't human, she had to treat herself as one. Only by constantly reminding herself that she was human could she avoid revealing her true nature and being discovered to be inhuman.
Xiao Wu had intended to turn away and avoid contact with the camping humans, but the keen senses of Soul Beast allowed Xiao Wu to suddenly detect a familiar aura among them.
"It's the scent of Little San." Xiao Wu immediately stopped and began to observe carefully.
After confirming several times that it was indeed Tang San's aura, Xiao Wu stopped worrying and headed directly in the direction Tang San was.
After traveling for several hours, Tang Hao and his son finally reached the edge of the core area of Star Dou Great Forest. Seeing that it was getting late, they decided to camp there and look for Soul Beast the next day.
Before long, Tang Hao noticed the grass not far ahead rustling, and he immediately became alert.
As the rustling sound grew closer, he called out, "Who's lurking around like that?"
As he shouted, the Clear Sky Hammer in his hand was summoned, and Soul Ring pulsed out from beneath him.
Seeing Tang Hao's trembling appearance, Tang San became wary and also summoned his Martial Soul.
Just then, a beautiful woman parted the bushes and appeared in the sight of Tang Hao and his son.
"Little San, is that you?" Xiao Wu moved lightly towards Tang Hao and his son. She could sense that the aura on one of them was Tang San, but at this moment, Tang San was disfigured in the Slaughter City, and due to the influence of the Rakshasa evil energy, he was no longer as handsome as he used to be.
At this moment, Tang San looked incredibly ugly in Xiao Wu's eyes; she almost didn't recognize him.
"You are... Xiao Wu?" Tang San also sensed a familiar aura from Xiao Wu. Seeing how alluring Xiao Wu was, he was even more certain that he would marry no one but Xiao Wu in this life.
"Little San, why have you become so ugly?" Xiao Wu walked over quickly, but her words directly pierced Tang San's heart.
"I... I... I..." Tang San began to stammer. Xiao Wu was really hurtful. After not seeing her for several years, she had no idea how much he missed her, but instead of showing concern and greetings, she touched a sore spot, which made him feel so wronged.
"Alright, alright, it doesn't matter if I'm ugly. I was so ugly back then, but you never disliked me. We'll still be brothers." Xiao Wu said nonchalantly, thinking she was comforting Tang San. Little did she know, her word "brother" would only cause Tang San more pain.
"Brother?" Tang San chuckled self-deprecatingly, thinking to himself, "It's only been a few years since we last met, have you already changed your mind? Back then, after you were slept with by Ma Hongjun, I never looked down on you, and I even confessed my feelings to you."
Just then, the Rakshasa Mark in his sea of consciousness trembled, and then a message appeared.
Tang San immediately immersed his consciousness into his sea of consciousness, and when he saw the contents of that message, his heart sank to the soles of his feet.
"Impossible, impossible, how could this be? Why are the conditions for starting the Divine Trial like this? I can't accept it."
Chapter 279 Conditions for Opening the Rakshasa God Trial
Tang San started shouting wildly, startling Tang Hao and Xiao Wu. Xiao Wu even thought Tang San had really gone mad!
Seeing his son's state, Tang Hao guessed what was going on. So he first looked at Xiao Wu, thinking that the start of the Divine Trial must be related to Xiao Wu.
"Little San, what's wrong with you? Why did you suddenly go crazy? Is something bothering you?" Xiao Wu couldn't bear to see Tang San like this, so she immediately asked the reason.
"I..." Tang San stopped shouting frantically, but he couldn't explain himself to Xiao Wu when she asked him. He couldn't very well tell Xiao Wu the real reason!
"Little San, what's wrong with you? Can't you tell me?" Xiao Wu asked again.
Tang San simply shook his head with a wry smile, unwilling to tell anyone.
Seeing that Tang San was unwilling to talk, Tang Hao became even more convinced that his guess was correct, so he used telepathy to ask Tang San for clarification.
Tang San also responded to Tang Hao telepathically, saying, "The condition for starting the Rakshasa God Trial is that I must sacrifice Xiao Wu."
Tang San looked dejected, then immersed his consciousness back into the Sea of Consciousness and glanced at the contents of the divine test.
[Condition to unlock the Rakshasa Nine Trials: Sacrifice your beloved!]
For Tang San, his only true love was Xiao Wu, so he would never accept such a condition, even if it meant his death.
What Tang San didn't know was that Bibi Dong, the previous loser of the Rakshasa God Trial, also had conditions for starting the trial.
Bibi Dong's condition for initiating the Rakshasa Nine Trials was to devour Qian Xunji, and she did indeed do so.
"Little San, don't worry, do you see if there's any other way!" Tang San Tang San reassured him again via telepathy, but in his heart he was thinking that he absolutely could not let go of such a rare opportunity. Sacrificing Xiao Wu Xiao Wu to give his son the chance to start the divine test, he knew without a doubt what choice he should make.
"Since the Little San is unwilling to sacrifice Xiao Wu, what would happen if Xiao Wu were to sacrifice herself voluntarily?" Tang Hao asked himself, vaguely making a plan.
Tang San was struggling internally at this moment, and in the Rakshasa Heart within his Sea of Consciousness, the voice of the Rakshasa God was repeatedly tempting him to attack Xiao Wu.
He was almost going crazy. How could he possibly hurt Xiao Wu? He would rather hurt himself than hurt Xiao Wu. He would rather not start the divine test at all.
"Little guy, kill this rabbit and get its Soul Ring, and you'll be able to start the Divine Trial. Don't worry about it dying; once you become a god, you can revive it. So what are you waiting for!" The Rakshasa God's voice echoed in Tang San's mind like a demonic chant, lingering for a long time.
"No, absolutely not! I can't kill her! She's my beloved Xiao Wu! I can't kill her!" The demonic voice echoed in his ears, but Tang San struggled desperately, refusing to listen to Rakshasa God's words. "Also, don't think I'm stupid. Even if I killed Xiao Wu, I wouldn't have the ability to absorb her Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring right now."
"Hmm... he does have some brains!" Even Rakshasa God couldn't help but sigh inwardly. Tang San actually managed to think of this. But you can't absorb it on your own, while she can sacrifice herself!
While Tang San was struggling desperately, Tang Hao was planning something else.
Tang Hao turned his gaze to Xiao Wu, and after making up his mind, he transmitted his voice to Xiao Wu, "Little rabbit, do you have any wishes?"
Xiao Wu, who was called Little Rabbit, was also filled with fear. She had never met Tang Hao before, so Tang Hao didn't know why he knew that her true form was a rabbit. But now that Tang Hao had asked her this, it meant that she was already in danger.
"What do you want?" Xiao Wu was terrified, thinking, "Did he ask me that because he wanted to kill me?"
Tang Hao transmitted his voice again. "You already anticipated this? Alright then, since you've already anticipated it, I won't hide it from you anymore. My son needs your Soul Ring to do something. He says you're his true love. Why don't you grant his wish?"
Xiao Wu's face showed terror. Tang Hao had been so blunt; how could she not understand? But why should she die?
"What if I disagree!" Xiao Wu relayed to Tang Hao, her entire body on high alert, ready to flee at any moment.
"You'd better agree. I don't know why my son needs you either. Maybe it's because you can provide enough energy to start the Divine Trial!" Tang Hao transmitted his voice to Xiao Wu again. "You heard me right, the Divine Trial. Little San has obtained the divine inheritance, and you are the key to starting the Divine Trial, so don't even think about running away."
After sending a telepathic message, Tang Hao summoned the Clear Sky Hammer, and eight Soul Ring pulsed beneath his feet.
"Dad, what are you doing?" Tang San hadn't expected Tang Hao to do this so suddenly, so he immediately became anxious. "You can't hurt Xiao Wu, she's my Xiao Wu!"
Hearing Tang San's shout, Xiao Wu scoffed and said, "Tang San, you're so hypocritical. Isn't this exactly what you wanted?"
"No, Xiao Wu, that's not what I want. I don't want to hurt you!" Tang San tried his best to explain, but Xiao Wu didn't believe him.
"Little San, because of this, once you miss it, your divine test may never be able to begin." Tang Hao felt a pang of heartache seeing Tang San's hopeless state. A man should be ruthless and treat killing his wife and abandoning his child as a common occurrence.
Tang San roared at Tang Hao, "No, I will never return Xiao Wu, and I will not allow anyone to hurt my Xiao Wu!"
Seeing his son acting so irrationally, Tang Hao angrily retorted, "She's just a piece of trash! That kid Gong Yu is right, she's Soul Beast Bus,' so there's nothing to regret. Do you want this kind of trash to ruin the Tang family's reputation?"
After shouting for a while, Tang Hao looked at Xiao Wu and said, "Speak, little rabbit, what is your wish? You can't escape now. Even if you reach Maturity Stage and are born with the strength of a mere Soul Saint, you absolutely cannot escape. So you should obediently sacrifice yourself for my son and open the divine trial for him. If you have a wish, I will help you fulfill it."
Upon hearing Tang Hao's words, Tang San, standing to the side, revealed a ruthless expression. He casually flipped his hand, summoning his Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul, which then coiled Entanglement Tang Hao. In just an instant, Tang Hao was Entanglement into a giant cocoon.
At the same time, Tang San shouted, "Xiao Wu, run! I don't have much time left to buy you!"
Tang Hao was also somewhat bewildered by Tang San's actions. His son actually attacked his father. However, his son was still too weak, so in just a moment, Tang Hao's Soul Power erupted, directly shattering the giant cocoon into pieces.
Xiao Wu was momentarily moved by Tang San's actions, but before she could even run away, Tang Hao's figure reappeared.
"You can't escape." Tang Hao snorted coldly, then his killing intent burst forth, and the Divine Slaughter's Domain instantly enveloped an area within a ten-meter radius.
Tang San hadn't even obtained his Fifth Soul Ring yet, so even though he possessed the Divine Slaughter's Domain, he couldn't withstand Tang Hao's oppressive aura.
When Xiao Wu faced the Divine Slaughter's Domain, she trembled with fear, her face filled with terror.
Chapter 280 Xiao Wu's Final Sacrifice
"Little rabbit, since my son loves you so much, and he's even willing to do things for you and me, his father, shouldn't you do something within your power for him?" Tang Hao began to use moral blackmail. In short, this was a rare opportunity, and he was absolutely not going to let Xiao Wu leave.
Xiao Wu knew she couldn't leave today no matter what, so she asked, "Will you really grant my wish?"
Seeing that Xiao Wu was finally willing to compromise, Tang Hao nodded and said, "I will help you fulfill your wish, so tell me, what is your wish?"
Xiao Wu took a deep breath, then exhaled before slowly saying, "My mother's killer is Bibi Dong, the Pope of the Spirit Hall. Do you think you, a greasy man with a one-armed arm, have the ability to help me kill her?"
Upon hearing this, Tang Hao was taken aback at first, then smiled and said, "It just so happens that the Spirit Hall is also the mother of my wife, Little San. So, if you want us to help you kill Bibi Dong, that's no problem at all. Even if I can't kill her, as long as Little San's divine trial begins, once he completes the trial and becomes a god, avenging you won't be a difficult matter."
Hearing Tang Hao's words, Xiao Wu's eyes lit up, but the thought of paying with her life instantly darkened her face. She then said helplessly, "I have two companions, the Sky Azure Bull Python and the Titan Giant Ape. They were hunted down and killed by an unknown Soul Master. I hope you can find that person and kill him."
Tang Hao nodded and said, "Okay, as long as Little San becomes a god, I believe finding the murderer shouldn't be difficult, so I agree on Little San's behalf."
"No, I don't trust you." Xiao Wu glared at Tang Hao first, then turned to Tang San and asked, "Little San, I need you to promise me personally that if I grant your wish, you must avenge me."
"No, Xiao Wu, I don't need you to do that!" Tang San shook his head. Deeply in love with Xiao Wu, he would never do anything to hurt her.
However, seeing Tang San unable to even move under Tang Hao's Divine Slaughter's Domain, Xiao Wu became even more certain that she could not escape today no matter what. Fortunately, Tang San still had some conscience and never sided with Tang Hao, which strengthened her determination to sacrifice herself for Tang San.
A poignant smile graced her face as she said softly, "Promise me you will avenge me."
As soon as she finished speaking, a blinding red light suddenly spread from Xiao Wu's eyebrows, transforming into a red halo that instantly expanded. She had finally begun her sacrifice.
Wherever the red light passed, everything was tinged with blood, and everything froze in that instant.
Tang Hao's Divine Slaughter's Domain was neutralized in an instant, and he was even blasted far away. However, Xiao Wu's sacrifice had already begun, and once the sacrifice started, it was impossible to stop.
Everything had become absolutely still within that red light; even the Soul Power attack released by the Soul Saint in the air had stopped in mid-air.
The only thing that could move was the center of the red light.
Xiao Wu's entire body had turned red, a translucent dark red. Her clothes had turned to ash and disappeared, revealing her perfect and translucent body, as clear and bright as a ruby.
Red flames began to burn on Xiao Wu's body. It was not a flame, but a very special kind of blood flame, and what burned in it was Xiao Wu's blood, life, and 100,000 years of cultivation.
The blood flames burned brighter and brighter, gradually turning from red to dark red, while Xiao Wu's body gradually faded in the process, like an increasingly transparent red crystal.
All the red expanded into a giant ring that slowly contracted, surrounding Xiao Wu and Tang San.
