Chapter 413: Slaughtering Ferocious beasts?
Hearing this, Dugu Bo's face darkened, and he said, "He has been here."
"And he almost turned Star Luo City into a city of the dead."
Tang Chuan's eyes instantly turned cold.
Ning Fengzhi sighed softly and said, "Tang Chuan, don't be hasty."
"Too much has happened on the continent these days. We were just preparing to send someone to Sea God Island to find you, but I didn't expect you to return on your own."
Tang Chuan looked up at the city outside. On his way here, he had already seen the cities slaughtered by Tang San.
But he knew that what he had seen was likely just the tip of the iceberg.
"Tell me."
"After I left the continent, what has Tang San done?"
Dugu Bo sneered.
There was no lightness in that laugh, only uncontrollable anger.
"What has he done?"
"That monster can no longer be called Tang San."
"He is now a Rakshasa demon wearing human skin."
On the city wall, the atmosphere suddenly became heavy.
Dugu Bo turned around and looked at the plain outside the city that had been soaked in blood.
"After you went to Sea God Island, the Spirit Empire first attacked Star Luo City."
"Golden Crocodile Douluo brought several Titled Douluo to kill, and Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo joined forces to use their Martial Soul Fusion Skill, which had originally suppressed them."
"But just as Gold Crocodile and the others were preparing to retreat, Tang San arrived."
Tang Chuan did not speak, only his fingers gripping the Sea God Trident tightened slightly.
Dugu Bo continued, "He did not come from the front."
"Instead, he descended from a purple-black cloud."
"His body was covered in Rakshasa divine force, and he held a black scythe in his hand."
"The moment he appeared, he broke the Sword and Bone Martial Soul Fusion Skill."
"Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo were severely injured on the spot."
Chen Xin sighed softly.
"That strike was not just powerful."
"What was more terrifying was the evil nature within it."
"It didn't cut Soul Power, but will and life."
Bone Douluo also said in a deep voice, "If it weren't for the Blue Silver Life Mark you left outside Star Luo City waking up in time, Old Sword and I would probably be dead."
Tang Chuan glanced at them.
Before he left Star Luo, he had indeed buried a Blue Silver Life Mark under Star Luo City.
It was originally just a precaution.
He didn't expect it to actually stop a great catastrophe.
Dugu Bo continued, "After Tang San broke the Sword and Bone Martial Soul Fusion Skill, he didn't kill us immediately."
"He set his sights on the wandering Souls on the battlefield. Many people died in that battle; Star Luo soldiers, Spirit Empire soldiers, and ordinary garrison troops all died outside the city."
"Tang San wanted to use Rakshasa divine force to extract and devour all those wandering Souls."
"He said..."
Dugu Bo paused, a flash of disgust appearing in his eyes.
"He said it was a waste to let so many Souls go."
Tang Chuan's eyes turned completely cold.
The surrounding air seemed to freeze, and the Sea God Trident let out a low hum.
Ning Fengzhi said in a deep voice, "Later, the Blue Silver Life Mark you left behind awakened, protecting those wandering Souls and purifying the Rakshasa divine force. Tang San did not succeed. But after that, he went completely crazy."
Tang Chuan spoke slowly, "He started slaughtering cities."
Dugu Bo nodded.
"Correct."
"After leaving Star Luo City, Tang San began slaughtering all over the continent. Yunluo City, Fengling City, Heishui City, Luoxia City, Baishi City, and the Black Stone City you just passed."
"Any city targeted by him hardly had any survivors."
"What's more terrifying is that the people in those cities weren't just killed."
"Their Souls were all extracted."
"The bodies were still there, but the Souls were gone."
"Not even resentment remained."
"The entire city was like it had been hollowed out from the roots."
Tang Chuan closed his eyes.
The sight of corpses everywhere in Black Stone City, withered maple forests, and blackened well water resurfaced before his eyes. He could heal the land and purify Death Qi.
But he couldn't bring back those whose Souls had been devoured.
At least not now.
"What did he do with those Souls?" Tang Chuan asked.
Dugu Bo's expression became even uglier.
"Resurrection."
As soon as these two words were spoken, everyone on the city wall fell silent.
Dugu Bo said in a low voice, "He used those Souls to forcibly resurrect Xiao Wu, Bibi Dong, Dai Mubai, Ma Hongjun, Tai Long, Chrysanthemum Douluo, and Ghost Douluo."
"But that wasn't a resurrection at all."
"Those things have no intelligence, no emotions, just undead Puppets."
"Each one was forcibly pushed to the Titled Douluo level by him using Rakshasa divine force."
"Especially Bibi Dong and Ghost Douluo, their aura is very strange."
"Bibi Dong was already related to the Rakshasa divine force, and now that she has been refined into an undead, she is even more like a killing weapon in the Rakshasa Divine Court."
The chill in Tang Chuan's eyes intensified.
"Does Xiao Wu not have intelligence either?"
Ning Fengzhi nodded.
"None. According to information sent back by spies, she just stands by Tang San's side and obeys Tang San's orders. Tang San seems to still firmly believe that as long as he continues to devour more Souls, he can make Xiao Wu truly recover, but in our eyes, that is no longer love."
"That is an obsession."
"An obsession pushed to the extreme."
Tang Chuan said coldly, "Slaughtering several cities for an obsession."
"He is completely beyond saving."
Dugu Bo snorted and said, "And that's not all. I recently heard news from Heaven Dou City that he later secretly returned to Shrek Academy."
Tang Chuan's eyes flickered.
"Shrek?"
"Yes."
A complex look flashed in Dugu Bo's eyes.
"He went back to find Master, Flender, Liu Erlong, Zhao Wuji, Qin Ming, and others."
"He even founded a force called the Rakshasa Divine Court."
"He demanded that those people join the Rakshasa Divine Court and participate in the Rakshasa God's assessment. The so-called assessment is to kill and devour Souls, sacrifice wandering Souls, and exchange them for the power bestowed by the Rakshasa God."
Tang Chuan's eyes were cold.
"Did they agree?"
Dugu Bo was silent for a moment.
"Yu Xiaogang agreed."
Tang Chuan was not surprised. Given Yu Xiaogang's obsession over the years, it was not strange that he would make such a choice if he were truly influenced by the Rakshasa divine force.
Dugu Bo continued, "Yu Xiaogang had long been influenced by the Rakshasa divine force."
"Tang San gave him a Rakshasa token, and even his Luo San Pao began to undergo evil corruption."
"I heard that Tang San promised him that as long as he completed the Rakshasa God's trial, he could make up for the defects of his Martial Soul and prove his own theories."
"Yu Xiaogang accepted."
"As for Flender, Liu Erlong, Zhao Wuji, and Qin Ming, they refused."
Speaking of this, Dugu Bo's eyes showed a bit more respect, and he said, "It is rumored that Flender scolded Tang San on the spot."
"He cursed him for refining his brothers into Puppets, turning his lover into an undead, and using innocent people as sacrifices."
"He even said that if Xiao Wu had any intelligence, the first person she would kill would be him."
Tang Chuan's eyes flickered.
He couldn't say he liked Flender much.
But in this matter, the other party at least did not lose their bottom line.
"And then?" Tang Chuan continued to ask.
Dugu Bo was silent for a while before saying, "Tang San killed them all."
On the city wall, the wind suddenly turned cold.
Ning Fengzhi closed his eyes and sighed softly.
"Flender, Liu Erlong, Zhao Wuji, Qin Ming... they all died."
"After they died, Tang San used evil methods to refine them into undead."
"Now they have also become the combat power of the Rakshasa Divine Court."
"Shrek Academy no longer exists."
"What hangs there now is the name of the Rakshasa Divine Court."
Tang Chuan did not speak for a long time.
He looked into the distance. Tang San, who was once called the Soul of the Shrek Seven Devils, had now personally destroyed Shrek Academy.
He personally killed his teachers, dean, and companions.
And then personally refined them into undead.
This was no longer simple corruption.
It was completely crushing everything from the past.
"What about Yu Xiaogang?" Tang Chuan asked.
Dugu Bo said coldly, "He has become the First Priest of the Rakshasa Divine Court."
"He organizes the Rakshasa God's trial system for Tang San and screens believers."
"I heard he is still bewitching some desperate Soul Masters into joining the Rakshasa Divine Court."
"Anyone who does not join is sacrificed."
A trace of killing intent finally appeared in Tang Chuan's eyes.
"Very good."
"A teacher who taught a monster has finally become a monster himself."
Yang Wudi gripped his Soul Breaking Spear and said in a deep voice, "There is one more troublesome point."
"Spies from Heaven Dou City reported that Tang San does not seem to have stayed at Shrek."
Tang Chuan looked at him.
"Where did he go?"
Yang Wudi slowly spat out a few words, "It seems to be the Star Dou Great Forest."
Star Dou Great Forest.
The night was deep, and this oldest and largest Soul Beast forest on the continent was currently shrouded in an unprecedented Death Qi.
In the past, even in the middle of the night, the forest was never quiet.
The chirping of insects, the roars of beasts, the sound of leaves rubbing against each other, and the sound of Soul Beasts trampling on dead branches while running would all weave into a vitality that belonged to the forest.
But now, these sounds were disappearing bit by bit.
Replacing them were terrified roars, the mournful cries of Soul Beasts before they died, and the sharp whistling sound made by the Rakshasa Demonic Scythe as it cut through the air.
On the outskirts of the forest, in a valley where ten-thousand-year Soul Beasts gathered.
Black mist surged.
A ten-thousand-year Iron-Armored Rhinoceros, over ten zhang long, was running wildly forward. Its body was covered in thick scales, and in normal times, it would have the strength to fight even against a human Soul Master at the Martial Soul Saint level.
But at this moment, it didn't even have the courage to look back.
Because behind it, a figure in a black robe was walking unhurriedly.
It was Tang San. He held the Rakshasa Demonic Scythe, and purple-black mist spread beneath his feet. With every step he took, the vegetation on the ground would wither rapidly.
The Iron-Armored Rhinoceros broke several ancient trees, trying to rush out of the valley.
But the next moment, several ghostly green chains suddenly reached out from the black mist.
The chains instantly entangled its limbs.
The Iron-Armored Rhinoceros let out a terrified roar, its massive body struggling wildly.
But the chains were not condensed from ordinary Soul Power, but transformed by Rakshasa divine force.
The more it struggled, the tighter the Binding became.
Tang San slowly raised his head, with no pity in his eyes.
"Ten-thousand-year Soul Beast."
"Barely usable."
The Rakshasa Demonic Scythe waved gently, and a ghostly green blade light fell.
The roar of the Iron-Armored Rhinoceros came to an abrupt end. A heavy beast Soul was forcibly extracted from its body, struggling painfully, and was swallowed into the blade of the Rakshasa Demonic Scythe.
Tang San closed his eyes, feeling the Origin of life flowing into his body.
A moment later, he frowned.
"Too weak."
"The Origin of a ten-thousand-year Soul Beast is still too little."
He opened his eyes and looked deeper into the forest.
There, there were stronger auras.
Hundred Thousand Year Spirit Beast.
Or even higher-level Ferocious beasts.
That was what he really wanted.
Tang San raised his hand, and a purple-black Rakshasa divine pattern appeared in his palm.
Within the divine pattern, a cold voice was looming.
[Ninth Trial of Rakshasa: Devour the life Origin of a Hundred Thousand Year Spirit Beast to condense the Rakshasa Divine Raiment.]
[The stronger the target devoured, the deeper the resentment, and the more complete the condensation of the Divine Raiment.]
The corners of Tang San's mouth curled up slowly.
"Hundred Thousand Year Spirit Beast..."
"You are all hiding in the core area, thinking it's safe there?"
"Today, I will turn the entire Star Dou Great Forest into a sacrificial ground for the Rakshasa Divine Court."
As his words fell, the black mist behind him surged violently.
Undead figures emerged from it.
Xiao Wu, Dai Mubai, Ma Hongjun, Tai Long.
Bibi Dong, Chrysanthemum Douluo, Ghost Douluo.
Flender, Liu Erlong, Zhao Wuji, Qin Ming.
Eleven Undead Titled Douluo stood quietly in the darkness.
Each one was wrapped in cold Death Qi.
Tang San raised the Rakshasa Demonic Scythe and said coldly, "Spread out."
"Kill all Soul Beasts ten thousand years or older."
"Bring back their Souls, Origin, and flesh and blood."
"If you encounter a Hundred Thousand Year Spirit Beast, do not kill it, just hold it back."
"I want to devour it personally."
The eleven undead raised their heads at the same time.
The next moment, they turned into black shadows and swept in all directions of the Star Dou Great Forest.
The disaster officially began.
...
Deep in the Star Dou Great Forest.
A thirty-thousand-year Shadow Leopard was flying rapidly between the treetops.
It had already felt the Death Qi from the outside and heard the screams of Soul Beasts in the distance.
As a ten-thousand-year Soul Beast, it possessed high intelligence.
It knew that something extremely dangerous had entered the forest.
Escape.
Must escape to the core area.
There were Ferocious beasts stationed there, and only there could it possibly block this aura of death.
But just as it was about to pass through a dense forest, the shadow on the ground suddenly twisted.
The Shadow Leopard's pupils shrank.
A pitch-black ghost hand reached out from its own shadow and grabbed its neck fiercely.
The Ghost Douluo undead appeared silently.
The Shadow Leopard struggled wildly, trying to merge into the shadows to escape.
But the Ghost Douluo undead was itself a combination of darkness and undead, understanding shadows better than it did.
With a roll of black Qi, the beast Soul of the Shadow Leopard was forcibly dragged out.
On the other side.
The undead Ma Hongjun spread his gray-green fire wings, and the Nether Phoenix flames swept across a large area of the forest.
Several ten-thousand-year Soul Beasts rushed out of the sea of fire but ran head-on into the undead Dai Mubai.
The White Tiger's claws tore through the earth, and the death Soul Power condensed into a tiger shadow, pouncing and killing them all.
The undead Zhao Wuji was like a moving gray-white mountain.
He rushed into the herd of beasts, relying on his undead body to hard-carry the attacks of the Soul Beasts, and then smashed one ten-thousand-year Soul Beast after another into the ground with the power of the Nether Armor Vajra Bear.
The undead Flender circled in the high sky.
The Four-Eyed Nether Eagle Martial Soul spread its gray-black wings, and its sharp eagle eyes scanned the entire forest. Once it discovered a powerful Soul Beast fleeing, it would dive down and mark the target with Rakshasa Death Qi.
The entire forest was in complete chaos.
Ten-thousand-year Soul Beasts fled in groups, thousand-year Soul Beasts were affected by the Death Qi and fell in large numbers. Hundred-year Soul Beasts couldn't even distinguish the direction of escape and could only run around in fear. The originally vibrant Star Dou Great Forest was being torn open by Rakshasa divine force into a rotting wound.
Tang San stood on a withered giant tree, overlooking the chaotic forest below.
Wisps of beast Souls constantly flew in from all directions, merging into the Rakshasa divine pattern in his palm.
His aura was also climbing slowly.
But he was still not satisfied.
"Not enough."
"These ten-thousand-year Soul Beasts are too weak."
"What I want is a Hundred Thousand Year Spirit Beast."
"What I want is the Origin of a Ferocious beast."
He raised his head and looked towards the core area of the Star Dou Great Forest.
"Are you still not coming out?"
"Then I will kill until you come out."
The Rakshasa Demonic Scythe was swung down again.
The purple-black Death Qi turned into a huge scythe shadow, sweeping across the dense forest in front.
The ancient trees within a range of hundreds of zhang withered instantly, and the Soul Beasts hiding in them fell one after another with screams.
Deep in the forest, a heaven-shaking roar finally came.
"Human!"
"You are courting death!!"
