Chapter 287 How Could Tang San Be an Evil Spirit Master? (Two in One)
"alright?"
The fourth elder looked Tang San up and down, and after making sure that his body was fine, his anxious heart finally dropped.
Glancing at the huge gray vines, he slowly stood up from the ground: "Now that it's over, prepare to go back."
During the time when Tang San absorbed the spirit ring, he actually recalled a lot about the Eight Spider Spears. As the iconic external spirit bones of Tang San's ancestors thousands of years ago, members of the Haotian Sect who grew up in them Naturally, I won’t be too unfamiliar with this thing.
But what he didn't expect was that the Eight Spider Spears actually had such a weird devouring ability. Isn't this exactly the same as an evil soul master?
There is no mention in the main sect records that this thing has such an effect!
No one knows whether the external soul bone in front of him is similar in appearance to the one of his ancestors, but actually has different effects, or whether they have the same effect, but the sect has not recorded it.
If it's the former, it's easy to say, but if it's the latter, it's a bit intriguing.
Of course, after realizing that thinking about this issue any further would be a blasphemy to Tang San's ancestors, he stopped his thoughts in time.
Anyway, he was just following orders. As for whether the Eight Spider Spears had the devouring ability or whether Tang San's ancestor was an evil soul master, it had nothing to do with him.
Besides, what if the Eight Spider Spears have the ability to devour?
It is never the ability that is evil, but the person who uses it.
If this devouring ability fell on others, it might cause them to gradually become lost and become evil soul masters, but who was Tang San's ancestor? How could one lose oneself because of a small devouring ability?
Who stopped the evil Spirit Hall 10,000 years ago, shattered their ambition to rule the continent, and avoided the fate of all life in the continent?
If ancestor Tang San hadn't turned the tide, I'm afraid the common people today would still be living in that miserable oppression, right?
Compared to Wuhun Palace, which was trying to rule the world, how indifferent was Tang San's ancestor to fame and wealth?
Although he has become a god, he has always adhered to the principle of non-interference in the lower realms for these ten thousand years and never interfered with the structure of the continent. Even if it only took an oracle to bring the Tang clan he created back to life, Tang San's ancestor chose How selfless is this to watch it being destroyed in front of your eyes?
Not only that, according to sect records, ancestor Tang San once swore an oath in front of his beloved wife Xiao Wu that he would only kill those evil and aggressive spirit beasts. How cruel and merciful is this?
Such a person who cares about all living beings, abides by principles, and has compassion is simply the reincarnation of a Bodhisattva or a Buddha. How can he be that kind of evil soul master who uses unscrupulous means?
Not knowing that the fourth elder had already almost lifted him to the sky when he absorbed the spirit ring, Tang San nodded in agreement and began to make silent calculations in his heart.
Just like he had thought before, the improvement gained through accumulated experience this time is definitely considerable.
The first is physical fitness, because he is constantly going back and forth between being beaten and taking medicine every day. Under this hellish temper, he has undoubtedly made great progress in this aspect.
Then there is the cultivation level. Compared with his physical fitness, his improvement in this aspect is actually greater. However, because he was at the sixty-level bottleneck at the time, apart from himself, even Niu Tian could not feel him. How much has been improved.
——Level sixty-four.
This is a number he estimated by himself. In two years, he jumped from level 56 to level 64. This speed can definitely be described as unimaginable. Even those evil soul masters may not be able to upgrade like him. Fast.
Although in his previous life, he relied on the secret method of Haotian Sect to advance from level 40 to level 50 in just one year, the total amount of soul power in the Soul Sect period was obviously not comparable to that in the Soul King and Soul Emperor period. If converted, The improvement in this life is more than three times that of the previous life.
And this was his soul power level before he obtained the sixth soul ring. After successfully absorbing the sixth soul ring that was sixty thousand years old, his cultivation level had quietly reached level seventy from level sixty-four. bottleneck.
In fact, according to normal circumstances, a 60,000-year-old soul ring would bring his cultivation level to around level 68 at most. The reason why he was raised to level 70 was entirely due to his Eight Spider Spears.
Just like absorbing the power of the Death Messenger before, this time he obtained the soul ring. Not only did he absorb the life force from the Mohua Vine, but he also successfully absorbed part of the 60,000 years of cultivation.
The result is obvious. These cultivation bases were successfully refined by him during the process of absorbing the soul ring, making up for the last two levels away from the seventy-level bottleneck.
Now, he should consider obtaining the seventh soul ring.
Just when Tang San was thinking this, two roars that could still hurt people's ears, even though they were far apart, attracted his and the Fourth Elder's attention.
"That's..."
The fourth elder seemed to have done some research on soul beasts, and he quickly identified the source of one of the sounds, and his expression suddenly changed: "That is the sound of the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear!"
"Dark Gold Dreadclaw Bear?"
Tang San's eyes lit up, and he immediately suggested: "Fourth Elder, from the sound, the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear seems to be fighting with other spirit beasts, how about we go over and take a look?"
As a top existence that is better than the Titan Ape in both strength and defense, the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear is definitely one of the soul beasts that is extremely suitable for the Clear Sky Hammer.
In addition, they are now in the core area, and the Dark Gold Terror Claw Bear that can appear here should be at least ten thousand years old, which can be used as the first soul ring of his Clear Sky Hammer martial soul.
Although he had not encountered the Dark Gold Terror Claw Bear in his previous life, he still had some understanding of it. This kind of soul beast is naturally aggressive, and its favorite thing to do is to kill other soul beasts. Its reputation is even worse than that of the human-faced demon spider.
Once it grows up, it can be said to be a disaster for the Xingdou Great Forest.
He did not forget that Xuan Zi was entangled by the king of the Dark Gold Terror Claw Bear, so he could not come to save him in time.
Even if the main fault of this matter lies with Xuan Zi, is the Dark Gold Terror Claw Bear not at all wrong?
And putting aside personal grudges, a ten thousand year old Dark Gold Terror Claw Bear like this must have the blood of countless soul beasts on its hands. If it is not punished, it is unknown how many soul beasts will die in its hands in the future.
It is no exaggeration to say that killing this dark gold fear claw bear is equivalent to saving hundreds of soul beasts. How can he retreat at this time?
Even if he guessed correctly, the opponent who was fighting with the dark gold fear claw bear was not a good person either. It is likely to be a very evil soul beast.
You know, the combat power of the ten thousand year dark gold fear claw bear is comparable to that of an ordinary hundred thousand year soul beast. The existence below this is not even qualified to be its opponent. From this, it can be inferred that the one fighting with it at this moment is likely to be a hundred thousand year soul beast.
It is really sleepy and someone sends a pillow. Isn't this evil hundred thousand year soul beast just suitable for the seventh soul ring of his blue silver grass martial soul! ?
Although his sixth soul ring in his previous life was sacrificed by Xiao Wu, it was at least a real hundred thousand year soul ring, and whether it was the invincible golden body, teleportation, or the nothingness that was immune to 50% energy attacks, they were all very useful skills.
Looking at this life, he worked so hard to absorb a 60,000-year soul ring, which is simply incomparable to the previous life. If he doesn't try to get a 100,000-year seventh soul ring, the gap between him and Huo Yuhao will only get bigger and bigger.
Compared with the eighth and ninth soul rings, the seventh soul ring, whose soul skill is fixed as the martial soul true body, is undoubtedly the most relaxed in terms of requirements.
After all, other positions still need to consider the compatibility of the soul beast that provides the soul ring and its own martial soul, but the martial soul true body is different, because it is a fixed soul skill, even if the soul beast attribute is not so compatible, its final effect will not be too bad.
Unless this condition is met, most people will not care about the degree of compatibility when obtaining the seventh soul ring, but will try their best to pursue the soul ring age.
As for the seventh soul ring with compatible attributes and a qualified age, just think about it and you will know that not everyone can have it.
If the Ascension Pavilion was still there, he could still try to obtain a soul ring with excellent age and attributes through the God-given soul ring as in his previous life, but now that place has been destroyed by Huo Yuhao, he can only settle for the second best, give up the attribute option, and choose a soul beast with a high age to obtain the soul ring.
Hearing Tang San's proposal, the Fourth Elder naturally guessed that he might have some ideas about the Dark Gold Terror Claw Bear.
Not to mention Tang San, if he had not already attached nine soul rings, he would also be interested in this Dark Gold Terror Claw Bear.
When he thought that this kid had twin martial spirits and the Clear Sky Hammer could directly attach soul rings from ten thousand years, he couldn't help but envy him.
However, despite his envy, he did not reject Tang San's proposal, but warned him with a serious look.
"Yes, you can, but you must obey my orders later. Once a battle breaks out with an opponent of this level, I may not be able to take care of you."
It's not easy to meet such a rare soul beast that is very compatible with the Clear Sky Hammer. There is really no reason to let it go.
As for the chance of winning, although his cultivation was only level ninety-three, with the power of the Clear Sky Hammer, he could fight even against a hundred thousand year old spirit beast. Moreover, they could hide in the dark and wait for the Dark Gold Terror Claw Bear to fight to the death with its opponent before taking action.
"Thank you, Elder!"
Tang San nodded vigorously, his face obviously excited. The two of them tacitly did not make any more sounds. After suppressing their own auras to the limit, they quickly rushed towards the direction where the sound came from.
About ten minutes later, with the super vision brought by the Purple Demon Eye, he had seen the open space filled with traces of fighting not far away through the gaps between the trees.
The huge towering ancient tree seemed to have suffered a devastating blow. The trunk that required nearly ten people holding hands to fully hug was covered with hideous claw marks. The main trunk more than three meters above the ground was broken in half. The uneven tree stumps silently told the fierceness of the battle.
In addition to the claw marks, some of the ancient trees were stained with dark green mucus that looked corrosive, hissing and emitting white smoke.
Not only the trees were affected, but the surrounding ground also looked no better, with countless large and small holes scattered throughout, and large tracts of grass and soil rolled out, looking like it had been plowed.
"Poison?"
The fourth elder looked at the dark green mucus with undisguised doubt in his eyes. From the traces of the battle, it seems that the one fighting with the Dark Gold Terror Claw Bear was a soul beast that was very good at using poison. This kind of existence has always bullied the weak and feared the strong. What it likes to do most is to hunt those soul beasts weaker than it by relying on poison. Logically, it should not take the initiative to provoke the Dark Gold Terror Claw Bear, which treats fighting above its level as drinking water.
... Could it be that the Dark Gold Terror Claw Bear took the initiative?
But what is it trying to do?
After all, this kind of soul beast carrying poison is often not very delicious, and generally does not appear in the Dark Gold Terror Claw Bear's diet. Even if a fight really breaks out, the Dark Gold Terror Claw Bear will mostly just drive it away, and will hardly chase it to move the battlefield like it is now.
As if realizing this as well, Tang San instinctively began to look around, and when he looked in a certain direction, his expression suddenly condensed.
"Fourth Elder, there's something going on over there."
"Hmm?"
Looking in the direction Tang San pointed, the Fourth Elder quickly noticed the inconspicuous cave in the distance. At the entrance of the cave, there was a dark gold terror claw bear poking its head out. From its vigilant look of looking into the distance and looking around from time to time, it seemed to be worried about the safety of the bear before.
What shocked the two the most was not this, but the abnormally large belly of the dark gold terror claw bear.
This is a pregnant female bear.
The moment they saw it, this thought came to their minds at the same time.
And their thoughts became clear.
Yes, with the arrogant character of the dark gold terror claw bear, it would definitely not allow soul beasts that could threaten the lives of its wife and children to appear around its territory, especially the poisonous soul beasts that are cunning by nature and like to do things secretly. Once discovered, it will definitely fight to the death.
After figuring out the whole story, the two men looked at each other subconsciously, their eyes flashing with indescribable joy.
Good opportunity!
What were they most worried about before?
Worried that the two soul beasts would just stop at a certain point and would not choose to fight to the death, and worried that they would not be able to reap the benefits.
But now the situation is different. In order to prevent the revenge of the poisonous soul beast, the male bear will definitely do his best to kill the other party, and the situation they are worried about will never happen.
"Let's go!"
The fourth elder roared excitedly, grabbed Tang San, and chased after him along the traces of the battle.
Accompanied by a deafening roar, the sharp claws of the Dark Gold Terror Claw Bear suddenly burst out with a nearly three-foot red-gold blade light, and slapped the centipede-like monster in front of it.
At this moment, the invisible air was like a substance that could be captured by the naked eye, and it was actually cut by the red-gold blade light, bursting out with a sharp explosion.
The centipede had obviously experienced the power of this move and had always maintained a relatively safe distance. Now that it saw the Dark Gold Terror Claw Bear attack, it naturally dodged immediately.
Soul-Splitting Centipede, this is its name.
It is about five meters long and as thick as a bucket. The hard shell covering its entire body is a strange dark gray, covered with fine and mottled lines, and looks full of traces of time.
It is worth noting that under the shell is a deep blue-black skin. It is precisely because of this unique skin color that when it dodges, a faint blue light intersects between the scales, as if there are souls wandering in it.
After barely dodging this blow that was enough to take half of its life, the Soul-Splitting Centipede opened its mouth full of spikes again and responded to the Dark Gold Terror Claw Bear with a stream of dark green venom.
However, the Dark Gold Terror Claw Bear was not afraid at all. It rushed towards the Soul-Splitting Centipede despite the venom. Judging from its corroded dark gold hair, this was obviously not the first time it had resisted.
As a famous attacker in the Star Dou Great Forest, the Dark Gold Terror Claw Bear's attack and defense are both top-notch, but its flexibility is a little worse. That is why it chose this way of fighting with injuries.
Although it has only cultivated for more than 10,000 years, the fighting instinct engraved in its bones makes it understand that only by playing to its advantage of thick skin and dragging the opponent into its own rhythm can it have the hope of killing this guy.
Facts have also proved that its decision is very correct. Before its hair was completely corroded by the venom, it was almost fearless of the Soul-Splitting Centipede's damage. On the contrary, its claws were so strong that the opponent could not bear it at all.
So far in the battle, the Soul-Splitting Centipede's body has been covered with claw marks of various sizes, just like the tree trunk before.
Another red-gold light flashed by, and the Soul-Splitting Centipede twisted its body and let out another sharp scream of pain.
I don’t know whether it was because the injury was beyond its tolerance or because it was stimulated by the severe pain and fell into madness, ready to give it a try, it took the initiative to meet the big guy who had been chasing it from the beginning.
Seeing that this guy was actually ready to fight him head-on, the Dark Gold Terror Claw Bear, who felt that his dignity was challenged, had a fierce light in his eyes, and raised his other bear paw without hesitation, and slapped the Soul-Splitting Centipede heavily.
Unexpectedly, the Soul-Splitting Centipede also did not dodge this attack. After adding another tragic wound to its body, it snaked up along the Dark Gold Terror Claw Bear’s arm and arrived at the shoulder in the blink of an eye.
The next second, the three tentacles at the end of its tail suddenly straightened and turned into three three-pronged sharp thorns with tiny barbs on the surface and a faint blue light on the tip, which suddenly pierced into the flesh of the Dark Gold Terror Claw Bear that had lost the protection of hair.
Roar——!!!
The Dark Gold Terror Claw Bear's body stiffened, and the unbearable pain came, making it instinctively start to struggle violently.
Even if its combat power is strong, its cultivation is only more than 10,000 years. The full force attack of this 100,000-year-old Soul-Splitting Centipede is not something it can easily withstand.
Of course, compared with other soul beasts that have encountered the Soul-Splitting Centipede, its performance is already very exaggerated.
As its bottom-line means, the Soul-Splitting Centipede has never seen an existence that can continue to struggle after being pierced by its tail stained with faint blue toxins.
Even those hundred thousand year old soul beasts would lose consciousness in a very short time after being poisoned by this kind of toxin. A soul beast like the Dark Gold Terror Claw Bear that could last for so long with only ten thousand years of cultivation was simply refreshing its cognition.
However, this was not over yet. Just as it was stunned, the Dark Gold Terror Claw Bear's eyes flashed with fierce light, and it forced its crazy spasming body to step on the Soul Splitting Centipede.
Then, the dark golden blade burst out again, and with a sound of "chi", the blade easily sank into the centipede's head.
Roar——
As if declaring its victory, the Dark Gold Terror Claw Bear burst out with a roar that resounded through the world, and the bear's paw suddenly exerted force, directly cutting off half of the Soul Splitting Centipede's head.
What surprised it was that even with such serious injuries, the centipede still did not die completely, but twitched its body while tightly wrapped around its arm.
Feeling that his body was becoming increasingly uncontrollable, the dark-gold fear-claw bear in front of him realized that he had to return to his nest to recuperate.
Just as it was about to attack again and completely end the life of this opponent, something strange happened.
The pitch-black hammer, wrapped in a whistling wind, arrived in an instant, and directly smashed the dark-gold fear-claw bear, whose reaction speed had already been greatly reduced due to the erosion of the toxin.
After successfully repelling the dark-gold fear-claw bear, the fourth elder had a bit of joy on his face, and he roared while bullying again.
"Tang San!"
Tang San would naturally not miss this hard-won opportunity, and immediately used the ghost shadow to come to the side of the soul-breaking centipede, and summoned his Clear Sky Hammer martial spirit without hesitation, and swung it towards the already broken head.
Bang——
Under the effect of the Clear Sky Hammer, the green or white smelly things intertwined and splashed on Tang San's face, rendering the excited face extremely hideous.
Looking at the Soul-Splitting Centipede's suddenly stiff body and the slowly rising 100,000-year spirit ring, his eyes flashed with indescribable joy.
Success!
Next, he just had to wait for the Fourth Elder to subdue the half-crippled Dark Gold Terror Claw Bear, and then he could absorb its rich vitality and spirit rings first, and then absorb this 100,000-year spirit ring!
However, just as Tang San was secretly excited, a familiar roar suddenly sounded from the direction where he and the Fourth Elder came from.
That was the voice of the Dark Gold Terror Claw Bear.
