"Swish!"
Just as the fallen ones were about to approach the observation elevator, numerous Blue Silver Emperors burst from the ground, entangling the seven of them.
"I didn't intend to provoke you, but you dared to seek trouble with me," the three Soul Kings spoke in eerie unison.
Hearing this, Tang San's mind stirred, but his gaze focused on the middle-aged man wielding the prismatic crystal martial soul. Squinting, he said, "I advise you to surrender. You should know that in a real fight, your chances of winning are zero."
The middle-aged man's breath caught.
He didn't want to admit it, but it was true.
This Tang San, at the Soul King level, could battle against the ninety-eighth-ranked Bibi Dong. Though the video was blurry, it was clear how terrifying his power was.
Unbeatable!
But if he surrendered, would he survive?
The Spirit Hall's current attitude toward fallen ones was not to send most of them to the City of Slaughter but to kill them outright, with public executions broadcast to establish their authority and gain the people's trust.
For him, the City of Slaughter would have been a good place, but he hesitated because it was the inheritance ground of the Asura God. With his martial soul's ability, it was impossible to be chosen by the Asura God, whose murderous intent was extreme.
As for traversing the Hell Road to obtain the Killing God Domain...
He had no one backing him!
As a transmigrator, he knew well that the King of Slaughter in the City of Slaughter was Tang Chen. After being parasitized, his strength had greatly diminished, and the Nine-Headed Blood Bat King would not want anyone to obtain the Killing God Domain.
Anyone who dared to mention it would likely be killed on the spot.
In the original story, Tang San and Hu Liena succeeded because they had powerful backers. Both Bibi Dong and Tang Hao had threatened the King of Slaughter.
Even the King of Slaughter didn't dare arrange them in the same deathmatch.
Tang Hao and Bibi Dong could obtain the Killing God Domain because their soul power levels were already high before entering the City of Slaughter, and their abilities were less affected by the soul skill sealing.
Tang Hao's strength relied on techniques like the Disorder Splitting Wind Hammer Method, the Haotian Nine Absolutes, and the Great Sumeru Hammer, with soul skills being non-essential. Even with sealed soul skills, the soul rings remained, likely allowing for ring explosions.
Bibi Dong had two martial souls, both of which were highly venomous spiders. Even without soul skills, the toxicity of her venom, unleashed fully, could rival Dugu Bo's city-annihilating poison from the original work.
These factors likely led the King of Slaughter to let Tang Hao and Bibi Dong pass the Hell Road.
It now seemed wise that he didn't enter the City of Slaughter, which had mysteriously annihilated all fallen ones.
Had he gone, he would likely have died without a trace.
But the situation was worse now, facing a death sentence from the Spirit Hall. These three would likely kill them and take their heads back.
That couldn't happen!
He hadn't reached the pinnacle of this world yet!
"No need to waste words." In a split second, the middle-aged man considered many things. Four soul rings, one white, one yellow, and two purple, appeared. The Blue Silver Emperors binding him corroded under an invisible force. The prismatic crystal in his hand rotated, and the three Soul Ancestors' skin shriveled, turning to bones and ashes. Streams of energy—blood, soul power, and spirit—merged into the crystal, etching three gray lines onto its facets.
"What a bizarre technique. Is that his soul skill?" Yu Tianheng felt his mental power tremble. Clenching his fist, he used the pain of his dragon claw piercing his palm to stay alert.
Dugu Yan bit her tongue lightly, focusing her attention.
"There are three impurities in the human world: greed, anger, and obsession." The middle-aged man raised his prismatic martial soul, emitting three beams of light that formed three beast shapes: a tiger, a wolf, and a deer.
The beast-shaped phantoms emitted intense soul power fluctuations and merged into the three Soul Kings.
"Roar!"
"Howl!"
"Bellow!"
In an instant, tiger roars, wolf howls, and deer bellows echoed. The three Soul Kings emitted yellow, green, and white soul power streams, throwing off their black robes and revealing their true forms.
To Tang San's surprise, these forms were not mere martial soul manifestations but actual animal bodies with human-like features.
*Similar to a catwoman, but much more savage.*
Tang San thought, wary of their mental abilities but paying no heed to the three enhanced figures.
Even with soul power fluctuations at the Soul Emperor level, they weren't his match.
"Attack! Destroy them!" the middle-aged man commanded. He stowed away his prismatic crystal and dashed towards the observation elevator door. The three Soul Kings roared and charged at Tang San and his team like wild beasts.
"Rise."
With a pull of Tang San's hand, the Blue Silver Emperor vines grew from the ground, entangling the three. Just as they began to break free, Yu Tianheng struck, his body crackling with blue lightning, resembling a thunder god. His claws pierced through the heads of the "tiger" and "wolf."
Meanwhile, Dugu Yan silently approached the "deer" from behind, injecting it with five types of venom.
Within five seconds, the three Soul Kings fell to the ground, lifeless.
"Captain, thanks to your control, they couldn't form a martial soul fusion. Otherwise, they would've been tough to deal with," Yu Tianheng said, feeling the mental influence weaken after the trio's death. He relaxed and looked at the middle-aged man violently smashing the glass pillar. "There's still an amplification-type auxiliary fallen one left."
"Those were the true forms of the three Soul Kings," Tang San said, manipulating the Blue Silver Emperor to ensnare the man. But at the last moment, he smashed the elevator glass door and jumped in, scaling the glass pillar's inner wall.
This passage seemed to lead to the inner space of the Golden Tree—
"Nana, it's your turn," Tang San said, bringing Gu Yuena to the observation elevator. He knocked on it, assessing its hardness, and said to Hu Liena, "Control the wind element and pull down."
"No problem," Gu Yuena giggled. She stretched her hand into the glass passage, manipulating the wind element to swirl. The green airflow stirred the air inside the glass pillar.
Yu Tianheng and Dugu Yan witnessed a spectacular scene: under the influence of the green wind element, the air above also began to spin, turning into a white tornado. It quickly enveloped the climbing middle-aged man.
"Ah!"
The man screamed as he was caught in the whirlwind. Without a special soul skill, he would likely be shredded to pieces by the tornado inside the glass pillar...
