Chapter 246 Tang Chen
After a fierce battle with the King of Slaughter, Yang Podi gradually gained the upper hand after using his original martial soul. Even though his opponent possessed the Asura Demon Sword, the difference in strength and speed was simply too great.
Given this situation, it's only a matter of time before the King of Slaughter is defeated.
Yang Podi himself does not possess the Trident of Poseidon and the Light of Poseidon, so he should be unable to awaken Tang Chen, and besides, he does not want to awaken Tang Chen.
Although the opposing King of Slaughter can use the Clear Sky Hammer, he seems unable to use the Clear Sky Hammer's spirit ring skills, and instead uses the Asura Demon Sword more often.
At this moment, the King of Slaughter's face became even more ferocious, and the blood-red Clear Sky Hammer reappeared in his hand. Then, nine spirit rings appeared on his body, and in that instant, all nine spirit rings exploded, clearly indicating that he wanted to fight to the death.
As the nine spirit rings of the Clear Sky Hammer exploded, the Clear Sky Hammer grew to the size of a mountain and smashed directly towards Yang Podi. In particular, the Clear Sky Hammer had a powerful suction force, as if it wanted to freeze Yang Podi in place.
Yang Podi gritted his teeth. Facing a desperate attack from a level 99 Limit Douluo, especially since this person was Tang Chen, who had mastered the Clear Sky Hammer, he was not to be underestimated.
All eight spirit rings on Yang Podi's Soul-Breaking Spear began to melt, and all the energy from the spirit rings merged into the ninth spirit ring, which was the Fusion Ring of the Po Clan.
Immediately afterwards, the ninth spirit ring, which contained all the energy, flashed, and it was the ninth spirit skill used after the middle ring: Sun Shooting.
Suddenly, a massive Soul-Shattering Spear appeared. This Soul-Shattering Spear was pure gold, seemingly capable of piercing through everything. At the same time, the six soul rings on the user's martial soul also flashed, as if pouring boundless power into this massive Soul-Shattering Spear, causing the entire spear to shimmer with various lights.
As Yang Podi unleashed his strongest attack, the Soul-Shattering Spear drew a straight line, directly meeting the mountain-like Haotian Hammer, shattering it to pieces, and even piercing through the body of the King of Slaughter.
This was Yang Podi's all-out attack, completely without any reservations, purely aimed at killing and risking his life. You must know that Limit Douluo are not so easy to kill.
With this earth-shattering blow, the Soul-Shattering Spear pierced through the Slaughter King's chest, pinning him to the ground. He was now barely breathing and would likely die soon.
Yang Podi looked at the fallen King of Slaughter and casually fed him a pill. This guy couldn't die yet, or rather, he still had something he wanted to ask him.
At that moment, a sudden change occurred. The King of Slaughter's entire body seemed to writhe, and then a huge blood-red bat flew out from the King of Slaughter. This bat was extremely large, with an extremely strong blood-red aura all over its body, and even had nine heads. Clearly, this was the Blood-Red Nine-Headed Bat King.
The blood-red nine-headed bat king let out a strange cry at the same time, emitting a peculiar energy fluctuation that seemed to shatter the entire space. This should be a unique attack of bats.
Immediately afterwards, a beam of red light emanated from the Blood Red Nine-Headed Bat King and pierced directly towards Yang Podi's head. It even flew rapidly toward Yang Podi, as if it wanted to possess Yang Podi's body.
But Yang Podi had anticipated this move. His whole body shone with golden light, and countless metallic auras protected his entire body, especially his head.
At the same time, his sixth soul ring flashed, revealing the newly acquired soul skill: Fire Prison. The entire space was like a sea of fire, countless blood-red auras were evaporated, and even the Blood-Red Nine-Headed Bat King let out a miserable scream.
The crimson nine-headed bat king roared in fury: "Human, you actually had this prepared all along!"
Yang Podi looked at the huge blood-red bat figure in the sky: "A beast is a beast. No matter how strong you are, a bat is still afraid of fire. This move of mine was specially prepared for you."
"You've taken over Tang Chen's body, and now you want to use the same trick on me? How naive of you."
But at this moment, the Crimson Nine-Headed Bat King seemed extremely angry: "Human, although you were prepared, you are just an ordinary person. There is always a huge gap between humans and gods. No matter how strong you are, you can never surpass Tang Chen."
After saying that, the figure of the Crimson Nine-Headed Bat King transformed into a giant red sword and stabbed directly at Yang Podi. Moreover, its target was Yang Podi's brow, clearly intending to use the power of the Asura God to possess him again.
But Yang Podi's sixth spirit ring flashed again, and his entire right hand resembled a fiery red dragon claw, especially with intense flames on it, which directly gripped the red greatsword.
This is Yang Podi's sixth soul skill: Flame Dragon Claw.
Yang Podi gripped the blood-red greatsword with his fiery dragon claw, and the powerful flames caused the blood-red color on the greatsword to gradually evaporate, eventually transforming into a giant bat. Yang Podi's dragon claw then firmly gripped the bat's body.
The Crimson Nine-Headed Bat King realized the danger he was in and quickly begged for mercy: "God of Slaughter, please spare me! I can give you many things, I can even give you the entire City of Slaughter."
Yang Podi spoke softly, "I just want to know whether you're working for the Asura God or the Rakshasa God? Or are you working for both of them simultaneously, a double agent?"
The Blood-Red Nine-Headed Bat King's enormous eyes seemed filled with disbelief; it never imagined that Yang Podi would know its deepest secret.
Looking into the eyes of the Crimson Nine-Headed Bat King, Yang Podi seemed to understand everything. He channeled all his power into his dragon claws, tearing the Crimson Nine-Headed Bat King's body to shreds.
With Yang Podi's final strike, the Crimson Nine-Headed Bat King died instantly, and a huge blood-red soul ring appeared on its corpse. In particular, this soul ring had four golden edges, indicating that it was actually a 400,000-year-old ferocious beast.
Looking at the blood-red spirit ring in front of him, Yang Podi couldn't help but sigh: "You said there were no spirit beasts in the City of Slaughter, but aren't you a top-grade 100,000-year spirit beast, and an extremely rare mental spirit beast at that?"
After thinking for a while, he decided to absorb the soul ring.
The true age of this crimson nine-headed bat king may not be 400,000 years. It is likely that it has continuously parasitized the bodies of successive kings of slaughter over the years, absorbing countless amounts of blood and energy through its own blood-sucking properties, which is why it has reached such a high age.
However, the characteristics of the Crimson Nine-Headed Bat King are too attractive. Both its parasitism and control abilities are excellent soul skills. Even Tang Chen was defeated by it, so it can be said to be a divine skill.
Yang Podi tidied up the surroundings a bit, set up a small poison array, and after his body had partially recovered, he began to absorb the spirit ring.
This time, the soul ring absorption still took more than a day. After the soul ring was fully absorbed, the soul power was still level 99, and the gap to level 100 was still insurmountable.
They found a blood-red head bone on the Blood-Red Nine-Headed Bat King. The energy on this soul bone was extremely profound, and it was the mental-type head soul bone that Yang Podi wanted most right now.
However, there seemed to be a small incident when absorbing this head soul bone. Just as the soul bone was absorbed into his head, a blood-red figure seemed to be hidden within it. A huge blood-red nine-headed bat king directly rushed towards Yang Podi's mind. This bat even laughed loudly: "God of Slaughter, you've been tricked. As long as there is blood and energy, I can regenerate infinitely. I've taken your body."
In his mind, a gigantic golden figure gripped the Soul-Shattering Spear: "Just a dead bat. You don't even have a body now, so what right do you have to possess mine?"
After speaking, the golden figure suddenly shone brightly, releasing three domains simultaneously: the white of the God of Slaughter Domain, the gold of the Soul-Breaking Domain, and the black of the Gravity Domain. The three domains were activated at the same time, directly crushing the Nine-Headed Bat King's astonishing red light.
Immediately afterwards, the golden giant, wielding the golden Soul-Shattering Spear, thrust it at the nine-headed bat king, as if trying to pierce through the heavens and earth.
The Crimson Nine-Headed Bat King fought valiantly, yet screams of agony still echoed through the air. He even roared, "God of Slaughter, I didn't expect you to be holding back! I'm not reconciled!"
The Crimson Nine-Headed Bat King was ultimately a rootless tree, relying only on a wisp of its soul, and was quickly annihilated, while Yang Podi's spiritual power and soul power increased once again.
After absorbing the bone fragments, Yang Podi underwent a transformation in both his soul power and mental strength. He viewed everything around him as mere ants, which was probably the limit of level ninety-nine. No wonder it is said that everything below the level of a god is like an ant.
Unfortunately, even at such a level, becoming a god at level 100 is still like an insurmountable chasm. The more one's strength increases, the more difficult it becomes to become a god on one's own. No wonder even a powerful sea god cultivated for a full thousand years at level 99 and only became a god by relying on the faith of all living beings on the sea.
The Crimson Nine-Headed Bat King, as expected of a top-tier spirit-type soul beast, granted Yang Podi four extremely powerful skills.
The seventh soul ring skill of the main body martial soul: Martial Soul True Body, the entire main body martial soul is attached to it, greatly increasing attack power, defense power and mental power. Moreover, it can restore and improve its own strength by absorbing the blood and qi of the people around it. It also comes with a skill attribute - Blood Prison.
Blood Prison can create an independent space where one's strength is greatly enhanced. After pulling enemies into the space, their soul skills and soul power are greatly reduced, leaving them at one's mercy. Only by shattering the space can one escape.
This additional skill is somewhat similar to Bibi Dong's eighth skill: Life and Death are One Dream, but it is even more powerful and also somewhat like the Killing Domain.
Head Soul Bone Skill 1: Crimson Control. This skill allows you to use your mental power to control a person, making them your servant to act according to your commands. It also allows you to access the past memories of the controlled person.
This must be the ability of the Crimson Nine-Headed Bat King to control Tang Chen. It is indeed very good. It can even control the Limit Douluo. Moreover, it can explore memories. From now on, no enemy will be able to hide in front of it.
Head Soul Bone Skill Two: Crimson Wave. This skill emits a strange energy, similar to the unique sonic attack of the Crimson Nine-Headed Bat King. However, this energy is somewhat like a shockwave and also resembles the ultrasonic waves of a bat. Besides its offensive effect, it also has a detection effect. Therefore, this can be considered both a single-target mental attack skill and a multi-target mental attack skill.
Yang Podi was quite satisfied with these three soul skills, as they could significantly increase his mental attack power. In particular, the seventh soul ring greatly increased his mental attack attributes and even his bloodlust attributes.
Especially after acquiring the head spirit bone, Yang Podi felt that this time he had made up for one of his minor weaknesses. At least when fighting against Limit Douluo who possessed a head spirit bone, his mental strength would no longer be a weakness.
Moreover, according to Yang Podi's estimation, the Crimson Nine-Headed Bat King was able to control the entire Killing City precisely because of these characteristics. Based on this situation, he could also control the entire Killing City.
Yang Podi glanced at Tang Chen on the ground, and then at the Asura Demon Sword stuck in the ground. This was the biggest gain from this Slaughter City.
Not only did they obtain a top-grade soul ring and soul bone, but they also acquired the Asura Demon Sword and a half-dead Tang Chen, who also had some other uses.
Yang Podi looked at Tang Chen on the ground and immediately activated his head soul bone skill one: Blood Red Control. A red light shot out from Yang Podi's eyes and pierced directly into Tang Chen's head.
Although Tang Chen is a Limit Douluo, he has been controlled for so many years, and both his physical and mental strength are extremely poor, making him very easy to control.
Immediately afterwards, Yang Podi closed his eyes and carefully explored Tang Chen's past, including some of Tang Chen's opportunities, the rise of the Clear Sky Sect, and even the process of Tang Chen developing soul skills. After all, theoretically speaking, Tang Chen is the true number one genius in the entire Douluo Continent original work.
After a full day, Yang Podi finally obtained what he wanted: the Great Sumeru Hammer and the Nine Absolute Techniques of Haotian, which were the essence of the entire Haotian Sect.
Once everything was done, Yang Podi pierced Tang Chen's head with a single spear thrust, ending his life.
A peerless expert like Tang Chen, who has already matured into a powerful figure, would easily become a hidden danger if left alive. It would be better to kill him outright to eliminate any potential threat. If Poseidon or someone else were to restore him, the consequences would be truly endless.
Tang Chen is not as deeply poisoned as he was in the original story, and he has already completed the Eight Trials of the Asura God. Both Poseidon and the Star Dou Great Forest have ways to restore him, and even I have many ways to restore him. However, it is better to kill him first than to leave any hidden dangers.
Yang Podi cleaned up Tang Chen's body. Tang Chen was indeed the number one expert in the world back then. His body was fully equipped with soul bones over 60,000 years old. He had four soul bones over 80,000 years old, and even a soul bone over 100,000 years old. In terms of value, it was much higher than what Yang Podi had secretly obtained from the three upper sects in the past.
