Thatâs right, it was blood mist, exactly the same nauseating blood reek as when he entered the forest before.
A miserable shriek echoed, clearly someone else had suffered. Immediately after, a cry of alarm Tang San was somewhat familiar with echoed from within the blood mist.
Even though he hadnât heard this voice for many years now, Tang San still instantly recognized the owner, Hu Liena? Was it really her? What was she doing here?
This red blood mist was something similar to a domain, and Tang San naturally wouldnât intrude rashly. That dense slaughter aura was somewhat similar to his Deathgod Domain, but even more wicked, and that stench of blood itself was intensely corrosive, and all the plants near the edge of the blood mist were being violently corroded.
With a cold snort, a circle of blue light spread out from Tang San. His Blue Silver Emperor launched, at at the same time, he also released his Blue Silver Domain. As the ruler of plants, how could Tang San stand still and watch so many plants suffer?
The blue light spread rapidly, not only covering the entire range of the blood mist, but also enveloping all the forest he passed through before. A surging vitality was aroused almost instantly, and prompted by the Blue Silver Emperorâs aura, the large forest made its counter attack. All the plants began to grow madly, the blood mistâs corrosive poison and the flourishing vitality of the plants weaving together. Each plant emanated a golden blue light at the same time as they grew, blocking the invasion of that bloody light.
Meanwhile, that surging vitality began to collide with the bloody aura, constantly filtering the harmful toxin. The blue ring of light filled with a breath of life began to spread through the forest, and with the support of Tang Sanâs Blue Silver Domain, these plants issued an incomparably enormous aura of vitality.
Life and death were two kinds of extremes to begin with, and the sudden explosion of life naturally influenced that blood colored death energy. Very soon, the scene in front of Tang San began to grow clear. Even though the bloody light was still there, the mist blocking his view began to gradually fade.
Several hundred meters ahead of him in the forest, there were now still three silhouettes constantly colliding, attacking each other. In a corner lay one shattered corpse. Strangely, that corpse was constantly releasing bloody mist, as if its blood was evaporating.
One of the three fighting was Hu Liena. Currently, her six spirit rings were constantly flashing, and each time that enormous foxtail behind her swung, it brought forth a surging energy. She emanated a ring of white light, enveloping her and another old man, blocking the invasion of the bloody light. But constantly assailing them was a red silhouette. When he laid eyes on it, Tang San couldnât help being shocked, inwardly shouting. So it was him.
Blood colored robe, high necked cape, pale features. Tang San knew this person. It was astonishingly the ruler of Slaughter City he and Hu Liena met back then, the Slaughter King.
Compared to back then, the Slaughter Kung had undergone very large changes. His pale skin showed very faint blood lines, and on his forehead was a magic mark in the shape of a sword. Behind him a pair of enormous blood red wings were spread, integrating both attack and defense, as they could be used to attack, but also worked as two enormous shields. He was terrifyingly fast, and Hu Liena and that other old man forced into the flickering light were already in danger.
That old man fighting alongside Hu Liena had a full eight spirit rings, and the configuration was quite good. But the Slaughter King didnât show a single spirit ring. But even so, Hu Liena and that old man could barely defend. It looked like they couldnât hold up.
âYou finally came? Iâve been waiting for a long time. In order to wait for you, Iâve let them live for this long.â
The Slaughter Kingâs voice didnât hold a trace of humanity, only endless ice cold and evil.
The blood red silhouette swept past, and that eight ring old man screamed, his whole body seemed to be inked with the color of blood, and then exploded with a loud sound, ending up the same as all the corpses Tang San saw before. The blood within his body rushed out, constantly blending into the bloody light the Slaughter King radiated. But when he moved the red light could only suppress Hu Lienaâs Deathgod Domain to reach that eight ring old man, and couldnât harm Hu Liena.
âTang San?â
When Hu Liena saw Tang San appear, for some reason, her heart relaxed. Even though that strange bloody light couldnât kill her, one of the Slaughter Kingâs wings flapped, smashing her flying out to crash through two large trees.
When the blood color descended once again, Hu Lienaâs body was already missing, a strand of Blue Silver Emperor twisted around her waist and brought her over to Tang San.
If it could be said that Tang San still held a good opinion of anyone in Spirit Hall, then that might be Hu Liena. Tang San had always remembered how they collaborated to pass the Hell Road back then, and even when Xiao Wu was ambushed in Star Dou Great Forest later, Hu Liena hadnât stood against him.
Catching Hu Lienaâs shoulder with his left hand, a mellow and rich Mysterious Heaven Skill was infused into her body.
Hu Liena belched, vomiting up a mouthful of blood. Her face had become deathly pale, but she still just about managed to breathe.
âWhatâs going on here?â
Tang San asked in a low voice.
Hu Liena leaned on Tang Sanâs shoulder, gasping for breath:
âI donât know either. This monster suddenly appeared, attacking me and my people. His bloody light is weird. Inside its range, besides me who has the Deathgod Domain, the others couldnât use any spirit abilities. Of the more than twenty people I brought, there were five powers at the Spirit Douluo level, and the remainder were Spirit Sages. But, weakened in his strange bloody light, he was constantly killing them. This freak is too terrifying. He said he came to find us for revenge.â
Listening to her, Tang San finally understood where that trace of mental targeting came from. It wasnât Hu Liena, but rather this Slaughter King.
âRevenge? You two lowly creatures destroyed Slaughter City, even if your corpses were cut into ten thousand pieces it wouldnât make up for Slaughter Cityâs losses. Tell me. Just which of you put poison in the grand blood river. Just what poison was it, take out the antidote and Iâll give you a quick death.â
The Slaughter King walked step by step towards Tang San and Hu Liena. He walked very slowly, but with each step forward he brought an immense pressure, making it difficult to breathe.
Confronting the Slaughter King, Tang Sanâs expression was as always. When he passed the first trial, in the Seagodâs Light, the pressure he faced was ten times, a hundred times greater than this, but he still successfully passed. No need to mention this situation.
Tang San calmly asked back:
âSlaughter City was destroyed?â
The Slaughter Kingâs ice cold blood red eyes were filled with hatred,
âIt was you, it was you who destroyed my Slaughter City. Making my people die miserably from the backlash of the great blood river. It was you, wasnât it, it was youâŠâŠâ
Tang San smiled,
âIf it was destroyed then good. I didnât waste an immortal herb for nothing. Thatâs right, Iâm the poisoner, Iâm the one who poisoned the blood river. Actually, that doesnât count as a poison. That was a Snow Colored Swan Kiss, it only has one result, to cause excitement. The Bloody Mary in Slaughter City contained a slow poison that could let people grow even stronger through slaughter, and could also imperceptibly alter their minds and bodies. Therefore, I added such an immortal herb to that blood river, making that slow acting poison show its effect a thousand times faster. It seems my medical estimation was extraordinarily correct, Iâm very honored to be able to become the destroyer of Slaughter City.â
âBastard, the antidote?â
The Slaughter King was already almost unable to hold back, but in order to get the antidote, he still managed to endure his urges, and didnât charge up and attack Tang San.
âTell me your symptoms first?â
Tang San asked calmly.
The Slaughter King roared impatiently:
âIâm so hot, the important blood inside me is constantly evaporating, no matter how much blood I drink I canât stop it. But Iâve also become even stronger, my body seems to be changing. But, I canât control it. Antidote, give me the antidote.â
âAntidote? There is no antidote. What antidote would a beneficial immortal herb have? Truly a pity, why didnât you perish along with that depraved world of yours? A degenerate kingdom like Slaughter City should never have existed in this world. Destroying it is meting out justice on Heavenâs behalf. Perfect. Youâre here today too, then letâs finish it. Once Iâve wiped you from this world too, that degenerate realm will also have truly disappeared.â
âBastard, Iâll kill you!â
Even had the Slaughter King been an idiot, he would now still have understood that Tang San was playing with him. The bloody light suddenly flourished, and with a flash he had already arrived in front of Tang San. Two blood red long nails thrust at Tang Sanâs chest like claws. At the same time, his dense bloody light also rose, rushing towards Tang San.
âHurry up and use the Deathgod Domain, otherwise you canât use abilities, youâll be killed instantly.â
Hu Liena spoke anxiously, Doing her utmost to start her Deathgod Domain to protect her and Tang San. But at this time, Tang San threw her away, sending her flying several dozen meters away.
Intense blue light suddenly exploded from Tang San. In that instant, his body was like a ball of blue light. Next, tyrannical blue light instantly blossomed, and Tang San turned completely golden blue.
Blue Silver Avatar launched, and at the same time the Blue Silver Domainâs evolved ability Boundless Nature also launched.
The potent bloody light the Slaughter King released couldnât only be stopped by the Deathgod Domain, but rather required domain abilities to resist, because that bloody light was in itself originally a kind of domain ability.
And through observing the previous battle between him and Hu Liena before, Tang San understood that even though the Deathgod Domain could guarantee Hu Liena could use spirit abilities, very clearly, the white light the Deathgod Domain released couldnât completely block the Slaughter Kingâs red light. That was a suppression in domains. In other words, the Slaughter Kingâs domain was of a common origin as the Deathgod Domain, but it was above the Deathgod Domain, and so restrained it.
Just because of this, Tang San didnât use the Deathgod Domain, and chose his Blue Silver Domain. This was the forest, the best battlefield for the Blue Silver Domain.
The surrounding world suddenly turned golden blue. Hu Liena closely followed Tang San with her eyes, and as she saw eight spirit rings extending from Tang San, she turned completely lifeless.
They hadnât met in close to five years, he, he had actually become so powerful? Eight spirit rings, Spirit Douluo level strength. Four hundred thousand year spirit rings. Was this really a level humans could reach? Tang Sanâs current circumstances already far exceeded Hu Lienaâs understanding.
As those red and blue lights started to violently collide in midair, fighting to control the empty space, the Slaughter Kingâs movements clearly became a beat slower when attacking Tang San, and Tang San swayed with his upper body, whis whole body releasing a blue mist.
Confronting the opponentâs attack, Tang San didnât dodge. Or you might say, he basically didnât think about dodging. Holding the Seagod Trident horizontally, he directly blocked the Slaughter Kingâs attack.
A loud explosive sound echoed. The Seagod Trident suddenly issued a ringing sound, and the Slaughter King pulled back as if electrocuted, his blood red eyes brimming with disbelief. The intense shocking force made both his hands tremble.
Tang San was equally surprised, he could feel the shock transmitted from the trident. Ever since obtaining this divine tool, this was the first time someone had caused this kind of slight tremble in the Seagod Trident with a frontal attack. Such strength. It seemed this Slaughter Kingâs strength wasnât less than Seadragon Douluo. Only, how come he didnât show any spirit rings?
The Slaughter King roared unwillingly, raising both hands on either side, one blood red ring of light after another rippling out from within him, the intense bloody light not only filled with the aura of corrosion, but also possessing a special energy fluctuation.
Instantly, sounds of compressed blasts constantly erupted from where the Blue Silver Domain and that red light touched. Tang Sanâs expression changed. Even though this was a forest, with a huge supporting effect to his Blue Silver Domain, he was shocked to discover that his domain actually couldnât resist.
The Slaughter King cackled with laughter,
âHow about it, howâs the taste of my Slaughter Domain? Compared to the Deathgod Domain you got, my Slaughter Domain is the strongest domain in Slaughter City, and itâs also a reduced version of the ability ban effect in Slaughter City. Do you think your plant attribute domain can resist? Slaughter Domain. Itâs the worldâs most potent domain. The ability ban attribute is established absolutely. You better use your Deathgod Domain, otherwise your spirit ring abilities will be completely useless.â
Tang San was secretly alarmed. It really was as the Slaughter King said, even though he still hadnât come into contact with that bloody light, his body had already begun to separate from the spirit avatar state. The Blue Silver Domain could originally manage to compete with the opponent, but without the support of the Spirit Avatar it couldnât sustain Boundless Nature, and was immediately forced back step by step, a formidable suppressing force coming head on.
But just at this moment, before the Slaughter Kingâs proud laughter ended, Tang San suddenly disappeared from his place.
The Slaughter King reacted very quickly, turning around practically subconsciously, the two giant wings swinging behind im like sharp blades. But, Tang Sanâs current position wasnât behind him, but rather behind and above him.
Falling sideways, bringing up his left leg with a natural and fluent motion, it was also a red light filled with a wicked aura, falling from the sky like a giant hatchet. It was the Evil Spirit left left leg boneâs spirit ability, Orca Evil Spirit Hatchet.
Tang San was well aware that you couldnât let the enemy lead you around by the nose in a fight. Even if the Deathgod Domain might let him use spirit ring abilities, the Deathgod Domain would be restrained by the enemyâs Slaughter Domain, that absolutely wasnât a good thing for him. It would very possibly lead to him always being suppressed. Even though the Seagod Trident was formidable, the Slaughter King was incredibly fast, giving a feeling even more like an agility attack type spirit master. As long as he relied on speed for a roaming battle, it wouldnât be easy for his Seagod Trident to show its power. Consequently, he chose to fight like this. After all, with five spirit bones, he had complete confidence.
Red light burst forth, the Blue Silver Domain was already completely shattered. Confronting Tang Sanâs attack, the Slaughter King snorted disdainfully, raising his left wing, he actually blocked Tang Sanâs extremely powerful single target attack just like that, and moreover swept him away. Spinning twice in midair, he once again relied on teleportation, and just managed to dodge the Slaughter Kingâs pursuit.
Besides Seagod Douluo Bo Saixi, there had never been anyone that could catch Tang Sanâs attack this easily, especially an excessively powerful attack like the Orca Evil Spirit Hatchet.
âGaga, attacking the Slaughter King with evil energy, I can only feel sorry for you. Kid, youâre already enveloped in my Slaughter Domain. If you give me the antidote now, I can still leave you with an intact corpse. This is your last chance.â
The Slaughter King didnât pursue, but instead stared fixedly at Tang San, his eyes even more focused on the Seagod Trident in Tang Sanâs right hand. Clearly, he was extremely wary of this weapon.
Tang San had suffered two setbacks in succession, but his expression still didnât change. Listening to the Slaughter King, he suddenly smiled,
âBy that, you shouldnât be called Slaughter King, you should be called Evil King. Youâre right, evil energy of course has to be resisted with the energy of justice. Do you really believe your Slaughter Domain is unparallelled? Unfortunately, your level is still far too lacking. Just let me use justice energy to to help purify you. You shouldnât exist in this world.â
While speaking, Tang San raised the Seagod Trident, and the Seagod Trident brand on his forehead suddenly brightened. No matter how powerful this Slaughter Domain was, it still couldnât stop him from using the ability that stemmed from gods, the Seagodâs Light.
Brilliant golden light turned into a pillar of light, shining perfectly straight down on that rhombic gem on the trident. Instantly, Boundless Nature burst forth. Intense light even more dazzling than the sun, rendered Tang Sanâs body completely golden.
At this moment, a dignified, divine aura filled the whole forest, and the previous wide expanse of vicious red light shattered.
What Tang san said about insufficient level, of course didnât mean that the Slaughter Kingâs strength was below his, but rather that no matter how powerful the Slaughter Domain, it was still just a domain of the human world. But what this Seagod Trident possessed, was divine light.
Tang San had already started to figure out a way to defeat the Slaughter King since he saw him. Without a doubt, the ability the Slaughter King possessed was evil energy, and the Seagodâs divine power was definitely a just and honorable energy. Adding the difference in levels, this was why Tang San didnât use his attack abilities all out before.
The divine power of the Seagod Trident spreading out immediately had an evil vanquishing effect, simply breaking through the Slaughter Kingâs Slaughter Domain, cleanly sweeping away the evil aura in the air.
At the same time, this was also the first time Tang San used the Seagod Tridentâs power in a true sense. Through the connection of the Seagodâs Light, a torrent of information rushed madly into him from the Seagod Trident. Tang San was completely enveloped by the golden light of the trident, and his mind frantically absorbed the information reaching him. It was only at this moment that he truly understood how powerful the divine instrument he got from the seventh trial was.
Different from the mad rush of energy Tang San felt, as the Seagod Tridentâs dark form turned golden, covered with a dazzling golden pattern, the golden light that dispersed with the rhombic Seagodâs Heart as center was calm.
The gentle golden light was filled with a radiant flavour, as if it would heal all pain, and also like it would awaken dormant life. However, this gentleness still held a stubborn attachment, to expel the darkness.
No matter how powerful the Slaughter Domain was before, even suppressing and forcing back Tang Sanâs Blue Silver Domain, at this moment, in front of a truly divine power, that wicked Slaughter Domain quickly melted like ice, broke like tile.
The Slaughter King was completely immersed within the Seagod Tridentâs golden light, so much that he still maintained the previous stance with both arms spread, the two giant wings on his back unfolded, looking vicious and evil. Now, his body seemed to be frozen in place, even the malicious expression on his face was frozen. As if influenced by something.
Hu Liena had already crawled to her feet. Seeing this scene, she hurriedly covered her mouth. If the feeling the vicious and powerful Slaughter King gave her before was beyond terror, then the strength Tang San now revealed gave her heart a kind of fantastic and complex feeling.
It was happiness for Tang Sanâs strength, but at the same time also a deep grief over how formidable he was. She understood too well that the enmity between Tang San and the Spirit Empire couldnât be settled. He would only be the empireâs enemy. Having an enemy like this clearly wasnât a good thing for the empire. If he was still in his twenties, but already had the power to contend with Title Douluo level powers, then, in ten years, twenty years? What would he be like then?
Hu Lienaâs mind was already in chaos, blankly watching Tang San, feeling that golden light warm her body and disperse the fear in her heart, she didnât know how she would face Tang San.
The scene of the battle was a bit strange. Both sides stood there motionlessly. Tang San was suffering the enormous information attack from the Seagod Trident, and was unable to move for the moment. But the Seagod Trident also seemed to have merged together with him, plating his body with a bizarre defensive energy.
And the Slaughter King was frozen in the divine light the Seagod Trident radiated, clearly influenced by that evil vanquishing force. But his body was also just frozen there, without undergoing any significant change.
Time passed second by second. The golden light over Tang Sanâs body began to grow more and more intense, the Seagod Trident in his hand even more emitting ten thousand rays of light, each magic line on its surface becoming exceptionally distinct.
And at this moment, the Slaughter King also finally showed a change. Red light began to roam across that sword shaped blood colored magic line on his forehead, gradually growing from faint to more intense, a red faint luster appeared over his body, unexpectedly blocking the divine light of the Seagod Trident. And the Slaughter Kingâs pale complexion also began to change, gradually replaced by an unhealthy flush. The wings on his back broke into fragments, turned to ash and blown off by the Seagodâs Light. His hair also gradually went from red to black, the same change occurring in his eyes at the same time. All over his whole body, only one place remained red, only that magic mark on his forehead.
Tang Sanâs eyes gradually recovered their clarity, but after he woke up, his expression was shocked. Because he clearly sensed that, even though the Slaughter King in front of him had shed the bloody color, his wings shattered, the aura he radiated was still rising geometrically, as if it would continue without limit. The red light protecting his surroundings began to overflow outside, unexpectedly slowly pushing back the Seagod Tridentâs golden light.
How was it possible, this was the Seagod Tridentâs evil vanquishing light, even though he still wasnât the true Seagod and couldnât use its full power, this divine light was still a genuine divine force. It was unexpectedly unable to break the Slaughter Kingâs bizarre red light, this was justâŠâŠ
Using all his spiritual force to target the Slaughter Kingâs body from all directions, Tang San finally discovered a fundamental change in the Slaughter Kingâs basic nature. His killing intent was not only not weakened by the Seagodâs Light, but on the contrary rose geometrically along with his strength, however, his original wicked aura had disappeared completely. That red light was unexpectedly the purest killing intent, even more pure than his own Deathgod Domain.
It couldnât continue. Tang San sensed an intense danger. The situation had exceeded his expectations for the first time. After the Slaughter Kingâs strength, originally not beneath Seadragon Douluo, rose severalfold like this, it wasnât something heâd be able to resist.
Raising the head of the Seagod Trident to slowly point forward, until it was parallel with the ground, Tang San gave a loud shout, once again displaying the Blue Silver Avatar, eight rings circling around him, left foot heavily stepping forward, his whole body shooting towards the Slaughter King like an arrow, the tridentâs long blades stabbing straight at the opponentâs chest.
Tang Sanâs spirit power pushed the, in his hands, only one hundred and eight jin Seagod Trident to a high velocity, but the tridentâs actual weight was one hundred eight thousand jin. At the same time as Tang San operated the Seagod Trident, the pattern covering it rippled like water, from the end of the shaft to the tip of the central, longest blade, the tip of the blade radiated golden light like a small sun, energies combined into one, body and polearm uniting. Even though there was no technique to speak of, his spiritual force and the Seagod Tridentâs aura had already completely targeted the enemy.
Rousing the Seagod Tridentâs energy required the immense support of the Seagodâs Light and Tang Sanâs spirit power. Even with Tang Sanâs present strength, he could still only do it for a very short time. He wasnât the Seagod, and using the Seagod Trident wasnât easy. This kind of all out attack style was something he could only use three to five times at most right now. Now all his strength was thrown into the attack, in order to settle it in one stroke, completely eliminating the enemy. No matter how powerful the Slaughter King was, once he was run through by this truly divine weapon, he wouldnât escape even if he was a god.
But in the instant Tang San launched the attack, the Slaughter Kingâs eyes suddenly brightened. His eyes were black, an incomparably deep black. His features also seemed to have changed. Even though he still looked middle aged, heâd become a lot more handsome, all the evil replaced by a healthy impression. The black hair behind his head moved without wind. Standing there, he no longer had the previous Slaughter Kingâs fleeting form, but was solid as a mountain.
Red light rushed out from the wide hands that were no longer claw shaped, without the slightest influence from the Seagod Tridentâs targeting. In this moment, the imposing manner erupting from his body was already formidable to an indescribable degree. The shadow of a giant hammer filled with infinite killing intent flashed behind his back. Strangely, after that giant hammer appeared, it very quickly transformed, in the blink of an eye the hammer seemed to have melted, transforming into a more than two meter long giant sword.
The Slaughter King held the sword with both hands, advancing rather than retreating, all the red light around him smelting into one whole, the heavy sword swung up from below with the power to scorch the Heavens, meeting Tang Sanâs Seagod Trident.
From Hu Lienaâs perspective, all that could be seen was a dazzling golden light colliding with a gaudy bloody light.
Boomââ
Golden and bloody colors fused together for a moment, then instantly exploded. Hu Liena only felt an enormous energy hit her like an avalanche, all she could do was curl up as tightly as possible, surrounding herself with that giant fox tail. The next moment she was thrown out like a pebble, going far into the distance. Hu Liena completely lost consciousness while still in the air, but fortunately, she still released her Deathgod Domain at the same time as she was attacked, and so eliminated the worst outcome.
The energy fluctuations didnât spread very far, only three hundred meters or so. However, within this range, all plants and rocks completely vanished. It wasnât that they turned to ash, but that they disappeared into nothing.
On the ground appeared a three hundred meter diameter crater, more than a hundred meters deep.

A golden light shot out of the crater like a roving dragon. The golden rays of light dulled as it flew, and as it reached the highest point it was already completely black. But even so, when it landed next to the crater, it still once again caused a loud boom, sinking a whole ten meters into the ground before coming to a stop.
There was no dust cloud, the scene inside the hundred meter crater was perfectly clear. The golden figure had darkened, but that red radiance was still intense.
In the moment the Seagod Trident was knocked out, Tang Sanâs body was flung into the wall behind him. Even the solid rock couldnât stop him, and he finally came to a rest in a hole five meters deep. But he still madly spurted blood, his five viscera and six bowels seeming to roul, his spirit power and spiritual force both suffering an unprecedented suppression.
If he had to describe the feeling of the collision, then it would be like that fight with Seagod Douluo Bo Saixi before he had gotten the Seagod Trident.
The feeling of the split second the Seagod Trident met the opponentâs heavy sword was clearly branded in Tang Sanâs mind. He hadnât sensed any effect from the Seagod Tridentâs weight, on the contrary the opponentâs explosive strength had far surpassed his. That blood red light of slaughter energy filled with the purest killing intent wasnât in any way inferior to his own Seagodâs Light, so much so that his Seagodâs Light had even been comprehensively suppressed in the moment of the collision.
