Chapter 131: Evil Thousand Flows
As the target summoned by the sixth soul skill, the Arena of Reverse Life and Death, Tang Hao cannot exert his full strength, but he does not have to worry about hurting his body, because even if he dies, he can be summoned again in a normal timeline.
This benefit makes infinite ring explosion possible.
"Come on." Tang Hao shouted, and the Clear Sky Hammer martial spirit suddenly emerged in his right hand. The next second when the eight soul rings lit up on his body, they instantly shattered into light and merged into the Clear Sky Hammer, causing it to continue to expand and grow.
This was exactly the skill that Tang Hao had used when he was fighting Dugu Bo. It was a unique skill of the Haotian Sect that only successive Haotian Douluos could learn: the Great Sumeru Hammer and the Explosive Ring.
Just now, Tang Hao launched the explosion of all eight soul rings. The fusion energy after all the soul rings exploded will increase the power and attack of the Clear Sky Hammer to an extremely terrifying level, and the soul master himself will also gain strength beyond his own.
Thanks to his healthy body, he could withstand the backlash from the simultaneous explosion of eight soul rings. At this time, although Tang Hao, whose eight rings exploded, only had level 89 soul power, he was definitely stronger than Tang Hao, who was level 95 and had hidden injuries.
If Dugu Bo fought against Tang Hao in his current state, he would have absolutely no chance of fighting back.
Feeling the power aura bursting out from Tang Hao's body, Xia Liang couldn't help but feel surprised, and at the same time he was also very pleasantly surprised. In terms of strength, Tang Hao at level 89 with eight rings all exploded is better than Tang Hao at level 95, but it is easier to summon.
With a thug protecting me from now on, I won't have to worry about anything wherever I go.
Seeing that Tang Hao was already dragging the fifty-meter-long Clear Sky Hammer towards him, Xia Liang used his mind to control the skeletal Susanoo giant form, drew out the Ten Fist Sword from his back and suddenly swung it down.
Tang Hao swung out the Great Sumeru Hammer at the same time. The sword and the hammer collided in mid-air, instantly igniting a terrifying light of destruction that turned the entire gray spiritual world white.
As the white color gradually faded away, Xia Liang's consciousness also came out of the spiritual world. He opened his eyes and what came into view were six soul rings circling around his body.
The soul ring was absorbed successfully.
As the body and martial soul grow, the age of the external soul bones of Xia Liang and the Undead Skeleton Martial Soul has also been upgraded to a certain extent.
Although the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger did not produce soul bones, the bone mass of the Undead Skeleton Martial Soul increased dramatically when it absorbed its soul ring, which caused the embryonic form of the pair of wing bones near the spine to grow wildly and eventually grow into complete wing bones.
Today's Undead Skeleton Martial Soul has not only transformed into a complete giant form, but can also spread its wings and fly. These are all the benefits brought by absorbing the sixth soul ring.
After absorbing the seventh soul ring and obtaining the martial soul's true form, the giant-like skeletal Susanoo should be able to put on full body armor and complete his form.
However, if you want to absorb the seventh soul ring, you must cultivate your soul power to level 70.
The upgrade of the Undead Skeleton Martial Soul to the Ultimate Martial Soul is undoubtedly a happy event, but the speed of soul power cultivation will also become extremely slow.
Xia Liang was glad that he still had more than thirty pieces of ten thousand year old cold marrow. If he absorbed all of them and still could not break through the bottleneck of level seventy within half a year, he would have no choice but to enter the City of Slaughter and devour the souls of the dead.
After all, the first test of the Evil God lasts only one year, and the seventh soul ring must be a 100,000-year soul ring. In addition to the time required to cultivate to level 70, the time required to find a soul beast must also be taken into account.
Otherwise, if you fail to complete the assessment within the specified time limit, you will lose the qualification for the divine examination.
"Brother, are you okay?" Qian Renxue's voice interrupted Xia Liang's thoughts.
Standing up, Xia Liang glanced at Qian Daoliu, then looked at Qian Renxue and shook his head, "I'm fine, Brother Xue, thank you for your concern."
Hearing this, Qian Renxue finally relaxed.
"Child, I just noticed the divine test mark you mentioned on your forehead." Qian Daoliu asked straight to the point. "Could it be that your martial spirit's origin has been restored?"
"Yes, after absorbing the spirit ring of the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger, my skeleton martial soul has restored the essence of the divine martial soul. The black and purple giant you see is the posture of the god. It is also thanks to the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger that it has the blood of the evil god. After absorbing its spirit ring, my martial soul essence was restored so quickly. Great priest, thank you for your help."
As he spoke, Xia Liang bowed to Qian Daoliu as a sign of respect.
Qian Daoliu showed a satisfied smile on his face, "Child, congratulations on regaining your status as the inheritor of the Divine Test. Logically speaking, after having the Divine Test Mark, you should also know the content of the first test and the name of the deity who granted the test. Can you tell me which deity your martial spirit was inherited from?"
"The God of Evil." Xia Liang said without hiding anything, "I opened the Nine Trials of the God of Evil. From the information passed down, this god has the highest status in the God Realm. He is known as one of the original gods. He is the chief of the God Kings."
"Is it actually a God King-level inheritance?" Even Qian Daoliu couldn't help but gasp when he heard the word God King.
"Grandpa, what exactly does the God King represent?" Qian Renxue asked.
Qian Daoliu shook his head. "I'm not very clear either. According to the ancient books of the Qian family, our Angel God heritage is as noble as a first-level god in the God Realm. Above the first-level gods, there are five giants. They are the two God Kings and the three Law Enforcement Gods. The God King has the highest authority, and the Law Enforcement God has the strongest power. From the perspective of classification, our Angel God heritage, whether in power or strength, is one level lower than the God King."
After hearing this, Qian Renxue looked at Xia Liang with some surprise, "Doesn't that mean that in the future, the benefits that my dear brother will gain from completing the Nine Trials of the Evil God will be greater than the Nine Trials of the Angels of our clan?"
"More than that. If this child can complete the nine tests given by the God of Evil, he will be a god-king-like existence in the God Realm in the future."
At this point, Qian Daoliu looked at Xia Liang with a little more respect. If his granddaughter and this child both became gods, then after ascending to the God Realm, not only would his granddaughter have a God King-level god as her backer, but the two of them would also be able to use god-level martial soul fusion techniques, and they would definitely have a dominant position in the God Realm.
Unfortunately, Xia Liang and his granddaughter were brothers in name only, not husband and wife. If they were husband and wife, would they still have to worry about betrayal if they slept in the same bed?
Thinking of this, Qian Daoliu sighed in his heart. Dugu Bo could actually marry a descendant of the God King as his grandson-in-law. Was this the luck gained by the extinction of the Dugu family?
Seeing Xia Liang and Qian Renxue suddenly talking about the practice of martial soul fusion skills in the secret room, Qian Daoliu suddenly remembered what his son had done to Bibi Dong.
Although the means were too shady, what was shameful if a descendant of the Divine King and his granddaughter could be confirmed as husband and wife in this way?
In addition, the two of them have the martial soul fusion skill, and under the influence of the martial soul resonance, their feelings will gradually deepen. So there is no need to worry about the tragedy like that of his son and Bibi Dong.
As if he had figured something out, a smile appeared on Qian Daoliu's lips. He looked at Xia Liang as if he was looking at a tempting piece of fat meat, and a hint of greed arose in his eyes.
"Child. What is the content of the first test of your Nine Tests of the Evil God?" Qian Daoliu asked.
After finishing the conversation with Qian Renxue, Xia Liang thought for a moment before telling the truth, "My first test is to break through level 70 within a year, obtain a martial arts soul body, and possess a 100,000-year soul ring."
"So what's your soul power level now?" Qian Daoliu asked.
"Level 65." Xia Liang said, "However, my martial soul has become an ultimate martial soul, and the cultivation speed is extremely slow. It is still very difficult to break through to level 70 within a year. What's more, I don't have a 100,000-year spirit ring now, so the seventh spirit ring must be 100,000 years old to meet the assessment requirements."
"To improve soul power by five levels in one year, one must also obtain a 100,000-year soul ring? This assessment is too outrageous!" Qian Renxue said indignantly.
"Actually, I think it's okay." Xia Liang looked at Qian Daoliu and said seriously, "Great Priest. Next, I want to go to the Slaughter City for training. The evil energy there will be of great help to my training."
"The City of Slaughter?" Qian Daoliu frowned. "That's the paradise of fallen soul masters. Child, you cultivate the dark attribute and inherit the martial soul origin of the evil god. I'm afraid that if you go in to train, you will be attacked by the evil spirit. By then, you may become a demon instead of a god."
"Please rest assured about this." Xia Liang's eyes revealed a somewhat confident look, "Great Priest, haven't you been in my spiritual world before? With my spiritual power, it is enough to resist the evil thoughts of the Slaughter City. Moreover, by absorbing the soul ring of the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger by devouring it, I can overcome the resentment from the evil god's bloodline, which also indirectly shows that I have the ability to always maintain self-reflection."
After hearing this, Qian Daoliu nodded in agreement, "Okay then. But kid, I hope you can promise me that when you come out of the City of Slaughter, you must first come to the Worship Hall to find me. I will use the attribute of light to purify and dissolve those evil thoughts that are not good for you, so as to prevent you from going astray."
"Okay. Thank you, great priest." Xia Liang clasped his fists in gratitude.
"You're welcome." Qian Daoliu glanced at Qian Renxue and said with a smile, "You and Xiaoxue are sworn brothers. I am both her grandfather and your grandfather. From now on, you can call me the same as Xiaoxue."
Xia Liang didn't expect to hear such words, he smiled politely, neither refusing nor agreeing openly. He was embarrassed to call Dugu Bo grandpa, how could he call Qian Daoliu that?
In fact, Qian Daoliu had ulterior motives when he asked Xia Liang to come to the Worship Hall to find him as soon as he came out of the City of Slaughter.
After experiencing all kinds of evil thoughts in the City of Slaughter, even the inheritors of gods will be more or less affected by evil. At this time, one only needs to take Xia Liang, who is plagued by evil thoughts, to a secret room, and then seduce him with the beauty of his granddaughter, and the probability of them having a relationship will be very high.
Thinking of this, Qian Daoliu felt helpless. He had never thought that he would one day follow in his son's footsteps and resort to such dark and evil means to keep others. This was simply unworthy of the name of a sacred angel.
However, when his granddaughter became a god, he also sacrificed himself and died.
I will bear all the sins myself and take them away with me during the sacrifice. As long as my granddaughter can become a god and have someone to rely on in the world of gods, what does it matter if I become evil?
"Kid, keep this." Qian Daoliu took out a ball of golden light from somewhere. When the golden light was handed to Xia Liang, it had turned into a golden feather.
Taking the golden feather, Xia Liang looked at Qian Daoliu in confusion, "What is this?"
"Anyone who enters the Slaughter City must complete a hundred victories before they can unlock the Hell Road. Only by breaking through the Hell Road can you get out safely."
"The Lord of the Slaughter City is called the Slaughter King, and he is no pushover. If you encounter difficulties from him while training in the city, you can release the light and sacred aura contained in this golden feather. When the Slaughter King knows that you are related to the Qian Family of the Spirit Hall, he will not dare to have any evil thoughts."
After hearing this, Xia Liang nodded in understanding, put the golden feather into the tricolor ring, and then bowed to Qian Daoliu, "Thank you for the offering."
"Okay. Your sixth soul ring has been obtained. It's time to help Xiaoxue." Qian Daoliu smiled slightly, "Child. I heard Xiaoxue said that you have been trained in a mercenary group. Not only do you have the ability to find soul beasts in a large area, but you also have a deep understanding of soul beasts. Tell me, what kind of soul beast should I hunt for Xiaoxue?"
"Great Priest, your Qian Family has already formed the best spirit ring combination. There is no need for me to add unnecessary details." Xia Liang said in embarrassment, "I don't know much about the six-winged angel spirit. If I casually bring up the idea of obtaining spirit rings, it will harm Brother Xue instead."
"My dear brother. You absorb spirit rings above your level. And you can restore your martial soul to its original divine appearance little by little. This shows that you are very experienced in obtaining spirit rings. Please help me choose a spirit beast. I will listen to you." Qian Renxue said.
"Okay then." Xia Liang looked at Qian Renxue and said thoughtfully, "Brother Xue, with your innate talent of level 20 soul power and the possession of a god-level martial soul, it will be no problem for you to absorb a 50,000-year-old sixth soul ring. I suggest that you find a 50,000-year-old top-level light-attributed soul beast as the sixth soul ring. As for the species of the soul beast, I have already thought about it for you. Just choose from the Golden Blood Wolf clan. However, we are not looking for the Golden Blood Wolf. We are looking for its branch mutant, the Golden Fire Silver Wolf."
After hearing Xia Liang's words, Qian Daoliu and Qian Renxue looked at each other and saw the surprise on each other's faces.
"Golden Blood Wolf, and Silver Wolf. I have heard of both of these soul beasts. The Golden Blood Wolf has an extremely strong physical advantage, while the Silver Wolf is particularly strong in elemental attributes, with multiple attribute changes such as fire, earth, wind, and light."
At this point, Qian Daoliu suddenly realized, "Child, the Golden Fire Silver Wolf you mentioned, is it a mutant that is a combination of the Golden Blood Wolf and the Silver Wolf?"
Xia Liang nodded, "Yes. The ancestors of golden soul beasts and silver soul beasts are different. Although the golden blood wolf and the silver wolf are both wolf-shaped soul beasts, they are cross-species mating. The offspring they give birth to will only inherit the fine traditions of both parents. However, hybrid soul beasts are mostly unwelcome in the tribe and will be expelled by the tribes of both parents. They can only fend for themselves. Therefore, the survival rate is extremely low."
