Chapter 356 A Rich Harvest
"Your Majesty, I am not sure whether Ye Chen has a grudge against the Clear Sky Sect. However, if this matter is related to Ye Chen, perhaps the Star Luo Royal Family invited the Clear Sky Sect?"
Yue Guan said his guess to Bibi Dong.
Hearing this, Bibi Dong raised her eyebrows. Although this was just a guess, she couldn't rule out the possibility.
She had also heard a little about the grievances between Ye Chen and the Star Luo Empire, knowing that the two sides were definitely mortal enemies.
A few months ago, Ye Chen killed the former Star Luo Emperor, Dai Tianli, and several Elders of the Star Luo Royal Family outside Heaven Dou City.
Moreover, Ye Chen later entrusted the Heaven Dou Empire to sell the bodies of Dai Tianli and others to Star Luo, and it was said that he sold them for over a hundred million gold coins.
At that time, this matter caused a huge stir on the Continent. The murderer selling the father's body to the son completely shamed the Star Luo Empire.
Putting herself in their shoes, Dai Yutian was furious, and since the Star Luo's own strength was insufficient, it was understandable for him to invite the Clear Sky Sect to ambush Ye Chen.
However, was Dai Yutian's influence that great? Even Sect Master Tang Xiao and Tang Hao were dispatched.
And Tang Xiao probably didn't anticipate that even with such a powerful lineup from the Clear Sky Sect, not only did they fail to capture Ye Chen, but he himself was also lost.
Furthermore, Bibi Dong was also very surprised that the Clear Sky Sect, which had been in seclusion for more than ten years, had increased its strength so much.
One must know that when the Clear Sky Sect was forced into seclusion by their Spirit Hall, only Tang Xiao and Tang Hao were Titled Douluo.
But unexpectedly, after just over ten years, the Clear Sky Sect actually gained five more Titled Douluo.
Titled Douluo are not common like cabbages in the street. The Lower Four Sects of the Seven Great Sects on the Continent don't even have a single Titled Douluo now!
'Unexpectedly, Ye Chen actually helped Spirit Hall a great deal?'
Looking at Tang Xiao's Clear Sky Sect Sect Master token in her hand, Bibi Dong thought to herself.
With so many powerhouses in the Clear Sky Sect, not a single rumor had spread outside. Needless to say, the only one who could make them so cautious was Spirit Hall.
Now, the person in charge of Spirit Hall on the surface was her, the Supreme Pontiff. The Clear Sky Sect being so low-key meant that it was highly likely they planned to ambush her in the future. As a result, the strength accumulated over more than ten years was completely wiped out by Ye Chen.
If Tang Xiao were still alive at this moment, he would probably be regretting it bitterly.
Thinking of this, a smile appeared on Bibi Dong's lips.
"Elder Ju, Elder Gui, collect these bodies. Remember to preserve them properly."
Bibi Dong instructed the two.
If it weren't a bit unsettling to handle bodies, Bibi Dong would have wanted to put them into her own storage spirit tool herself.
"Yes!"
Yue Guan and Gui Mei didn't think much of it and stepped forward to collect the bodies.
They didn't know that at this moment, Bibi Dong was already eager to return and extract the remaining value from these bodies.
...
On the other side, Ye Chen, who was chasing Tang Hao, was examining his recent gains.
The Clear Sky Sect truly lived up to its reputation as the 'Number One Sect in the World'. Tang Xiao, as the Sect Master, had a considerable fortune, not only dropping a left arm bone, a right arm bone, and a left leg bone, but also a torso Spirit Bone with a cultivation of over sixty thousand years.
Although the other five Elders were not as wealthy as Sect Master Tang Xiao, each of them had more assets than Yue Guan, a Level 95 Titled Douluo. In total, the five of them dropped fourteen Spirit Bones for Ye Chen.
Even though the six of them didn't even have a complete set of limb Spirit Bones, Ye Chen wasn't too surprised.
After all, the Clear Sky Sect was not the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School. How could someone who wields a big hammer be as rich as someone who owns a mine?
Moreover, the spirit tool technology on the Douluo Continent was not advanced at present. Even with good blacksmithing skills, one couldn't make a fortune. It was understandable that they couldn't gather a complete set of limb Spirit Bones.
One must know that not all the Spirit Bones in the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School's treasury were obtained by lucky Spirit Masters of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School who hunted Spirit Beasts and had them drop.
Most of them were bought by Ning Fengzhi from various Spirit hunting teams on the Continent, at great expense in gold coins.
As for the eight Spirit Douluo who were just making up the numbers, they couldn't even compare to these six, they were simply paupers.
The eight of them only dropped two limb Spirit Bones in total, and one of them was a useless thousand-year Spirit Bone, not even comparable to the weakest Clear Sky Sect Elder.
Among these twenty Spirit Bones, the most valuable was the torso Spirit Bone dropped from Tang Xiao.
Ye Chen guessed that this sixty thousand-year torso Spirit Bone was undoubtedly the Clear Sky Sect's inherited Spirit Bone.
As for the other Spirit Bones, apart from that thousand-year Spirit Bone, the highest cultivation one did not reach fifty thousand years; most were around twenty to thirty thousand years.
However, these Spirit Bones also allowed Ye Chen to get rich. Although he couldn't use them himself, he could sell them for money!
Ye Chen planned to hold a grand Spirit Bone auction after returning to Heaven Dou City to make a good fortune.
Hmm, almost forgot, the Spirit Bones on Tang Hao's body should be more valuable than those on Tang Xiao's, right?
Ye Chen remembered that Tang Hao's right arm Spirit Bone and left leg Spirit Bone were both inherited Spirit Bones of the Clear Sky Sect.
In the original work, when Tang Hao returned to the Clear Sky Sect, he even specifically removed his arm and leg to return the Spirit Bones to the Sect, which shows Tang Hao's Pay attention to of these two Spirit Bones.
Although it was unlikely to be a hundred-thousand-year Spirit Bone, the cultivation would certainly not be low.
"Damn it!"
Perceiving Ye Chen's relentless pursuit from behind, the fleeing Tang Hao cursed inwardly.
If he could, Tang Hao would have loved to smash Ye Chen's head with his Clear Sky Hammer to avenge his brother's death.
However, Tang Xiao's self-detonation earlier had severely injured him, and the after-effects of Ring Explosion had also set in, leaving him helpless against Ye Chen.
With his current heavily injured body, if he were to turn back and fight, let alone killing Ye Chen, it would be a question of whether he could even save his own life.
"No, I can't go on like this. I must find a way to escape!"
Tang Hao knew he couldn't continue like this.
Because he had no healing Spirit Abilities or Soul Bone Skills, his injuries could not be treated.
If he continued to flee like this, over time, as his injuries worsened, he would be even less likely to be Ye Chen's opponent.
"That's right, Slaughter City!"
Suddenly, Tang Hao thought of Slaughter City.
In Slaughter City, unless one possessed the Slaughter God Domain and was a Slaughter God, or was granted qualification by the Slaughter King, Spirit Masters could not use Spirit Abilities.
And Ye Chen's most troublesome aspects, besides his endless Soul Bone Skills, were those extremely disgusting Spirit Abilities.
If he could disable Ye Chen's Spirit Abilities, and he himself could still use Spirit Abilities, Tang Hao was confident that even in his current state, he wouldn't be defeated, even if he wasn't Ye Chen's match.
Moreover, more importantly, the entrance to Slaughter City was not far from here.
Having thought that, Tang Hao immediately changed direction and rushed towards Slaughter City.
Chapter 357: Stop, Killing...
"Hmm? The direction changed?"
Perceiving Tang Hao changing direction, Ye Chen raised his eyebrows. Could it be that Tang Hao still had some unknown trump card?
However, Ye Chen didn't care. The 'momentum is with me' now; as long as he continued to pursue, Tang Hao would surely be the first to give out.
In the original work, the battle between Tang Hao and Qian Xunji left Tang Hao with hidden injuries that didn't improve for over a decade, indicating that Tang Hao had no healing-type Soul Bone Skills.
The current situation could be said to be a replica of that time, no, it should be even more severe than back then.
Although Tang Hao hadn't Ring Exploded his ninth spirit ring at this moment, and his strength was much greater than before, so the after-effects of Ring Explosion weren't as severe as they once were, the power of Tang Xiao's self-detonation was not to be underestimated.
Moreover, Tang Hao was not yet the victor, and Ye Chen was still in hot pursuit, so he wouldn't give him any chance to recover.
As long as he continued to hang back, once Tang Hao could no longer suppress his injuries, he would go in for the kill.
Thinking of this, Ye Chen felt light and joyful, as if he could already see Tang Hao's Spirit Bones waving at him!
However, gradually, Ye Chen realized that things were not as good as he had imagined.
"Is Tang Hao going to Slaughter City?"
Looking at the direction Tang Hao was fleeing, Ye Chen frowned.
If Tang Hao's destination was Slaughter City, then for Ye Chen, it was not a good thing.
Although Ye Chen had also possessed the Slaughter God Domain, it had long been devoured by the Qingjing Domain. Ye Chen was not sure if he would be able to use Spirit Abilities after entering Slaughter City.
Although Tang Hao was heavily injured at this moment, he was not without the power to fight back.
Ye Chen knew that the reason Tang Hao was fleeing was because he was wary of his Spirit Abilities.
Excluding various powerful control Spirit Abilities, Ye Chen truly didn't think he could defeat Tang Hao.
He could only rely on the Soul Bone Skill: Thorn Guardian to trade injuries, and finally, with the powerful recovery ability of the Soul Bone Skill: Limitless Regeneration and the Water of Life sold in the System Shop, he would stand invincible.
After all, a gap of seven spirit power levels was not that easy to bridge.
Moreover, the higher the spirit power level, the greater the gap between each level, especially after level 95.
If he couldn't use Spirit Abilities and couldn't use his Clear净 Bamboo Staff True Body, merely relying on the Soul Bone Skills: Emerging from Mud, Yet Untainted, Thorn Guardian, and Purple-Gold Guardian, he might not be able to withstand Tang Hao, who had all nine rings Ring Exploded, activated his Clear Sky Avatar, and was determined to die.
Tang Hao's big hammer was not something anyone could withstand. Earlier on the battlefield, after he activated his Clear净 Bamboo Staff True Body, his Soul Bone Skill: Purple-Gold Guardian was still shattered by Tang Hao's hammer. Without his Martial Soul True Body, even if he didn't die from one blow, it wouldn't be far off.
Perhaps Tang Hao might not necessarily win the final victory, but dragging him along for the ride was not impossible.
Additionally, Ye Chen had to consider whether the Slaughter King would choose to team up with Tang Hao to deal with him after he entered Slaughter City.
After all, before entering the Hell Road, Ye Chen had clearly pointed out the Slaughter King's true identity, and the Nine Headed Bloody Crimson Bat King must have wished him dead.
And even if that wasn't the case, the Slaughter King wouldn't mind one less Asura God of Slaughter in the world, especially since Ye Chen had greater potential than Tang Hao.
...
Not long after, Tang Hao, fleeing through the air, saw the entrance to Slaughter City in the distance below.
Sensing Ye Chen's relentless pursuit, Tang Hao dared not stop for a moment and headed straight for the entrance.
"Stop, Slaughter Ci..."
Seeing the uninvited guest, a young-looking enforcer of Slaughter City guarding the entrance was about to step forward to stop Tang Hao.
"Get out—!"
With a fierce killing intent, the blood-red Slaughter God Domain bloomed, forcing back the enforcer who tried to block him. Tang Hao entered Slaughter City without hesitation.
"Oh my goodness, Slaughter God Domain? Which Asura God is this?"
Looking at Tang Hao's retreating figure as he entered Slaughter City, the young enforcer who had just tried to block him said with lingering fear.
"Heh~, that's the Haotian Killing God from back then, a powerful expert even the great Slaughter King is wary of!"
A middle-aged enforcer said to the young enforcer.
There weren't many Asura Gods in Slaughter City. Even if these enforcers hadn't seen Tang Hao with their own eyes, most of them had seen his portrait, so they wouldn't accidentally offend him one day.
"This is the Haotian Killing God? Didn't they say the Haotian Killing God was one of the continent's top experts? Why is he so disheveled, like he's fleeing for his life?"
Glancing back and realizing Tang Hao probably couldn't hear him, the young enforcer said somewhat sheepishly and confusedly.
"Are you trying to die, kid? Every Asura God who walks out of Slaughter City is a ruthless killer who doesn't bat an eye!"
Hearing the young man's words, the middle-aged enforcer immediately shivered in fright and sternly reprimanded the young man who had only become an enforcer a few days ago.
If those words were heard by the Haotian Killing God, it wouldn't matter if the young man died, but if it implicated himself, that would be too unjust.
Upon hearing this, the young enforcer immediately looked back at the entrance. After not seeing Tang Hao's returning figure, he let out a long sigh of relief.
Not long after, Ye Chen, who was pursuing Tang Hao, also arrived at the entrance of Slaughter City.
"Stop, Slaughter Ci..."
Seeing Ye Chen arrive, the diligent young enforcer immediately stepped forward to stop him.
However, as soon as the young enforcer opened his mouth, he immediately received a slap on the back of his head.
"Greetings, Asura God of Slaughter. May I ask why the Asura God of Slaughter has come to Slaughter City?"
After slapping the young enforcer, the middle-aged enforcer respectfully greeted Ye Chen.
Ye Chen glanced at the middle-aged enforcer, ignoring these enforcers, and directly pursued Tang Hao into Slaughter City.
"What are you doing, kid? That's the Asura God of Slaughter, and you dare to stop him? Luckily, this Asura God didn't pay attention to us small fries, otherwise, we wouldn't even know how we died!"
After Ye Chen entered Slaughter City, the middle-aged enforcer cursed the unobservant young enforcer.
Two Asura Gods arriving consecutively, and this young man had offended both of them. This made the middle-aged enforcer feel that standing guard with this young man was the biggest mistake of his life.
Fortunately, it seemed both Asura Gods had urgent matters to attend to and hadn't paid them any mind.
"Is this the Asura God of Slaughter who just left Slaughter City?"
The young enforcer said with a bewildered expression.
He had naturally heard of the Blood Asura's name, but he hadn't seen him with his own eyes, and he hadn't expected this Asura God, who had just left Slaughter City, to return again.
"If he isn't, then are you? This Asura God of Slaughter, don't let his kind face fool you; when he acts, he's even more ruthless than the Haotian Killing God from before!"
When mentioning Ye Chen's actions in Slaughter City before, the middle-aged enforcer still felt lingering fear.
This was a ruthless individual who, upon arriving in Slaughter City, had immediately taken the heads of several experts to establish his authority.
Moreover, in order to quickly achieve a hundred consecutive victories in the Hell Slaughterfield, he even forced those Fallen Ones to go to the Hell Slaughterfield to die. Was that something a human would do?
As an enforcer of Slaughter City, the middle-aged man had seen ruthless people, but he had never seen anyone as ruthless as Ye Chen!
"Why is this Asura God of Slaughter here in Slaughter City?"
"How should I know?"
"The Haotian Killing God also came earlier, and he looked quite injured. Could this Asura God of Slaughter be here to hunt him down?"
The young enforcer began to make a bold guess.
The middle-aged enforcer: "..."
"It doesn't seem impossible?"
The middle-aged enforcer said with some uncertainty.
Chapter 358 Return to the City of Slaughter
The passage into Slaughter City was not very long. Soon, Ye Chen saw the end of the passage in the distance, an oval-shaped gateway about ten meters high.
On the other side of the gateway, Tang Hao, wielding his Clear Sky Hammer, was staring intently at him, as if he would deliver a heavy blow the moment Ye Chen dared to enter.
The last time he entered Slaughter City, Ye Chen didn't go in through here. This was his first time seeing the official entrance to Slaughter City.
Even so, Ye Chen knew that once he stepped through this gateway, he would truly be inside Slaughter City.
Looking at Tang Hao blocking the other end of the gateway, Ye Chen felt a bit troubled for a moment.
Although the gateway into Slaughter City was not small, compared to a giant Martial Soul True Body, it was insufficient. If he activated his Martial Soul True Body outside, he clearly wouldn't be able to get in.
But what if he went in first and then couldn't use his Spirit Ability, making it impossible to activate his Martial Soul True Body?
After a moment of thought, Ye Chen gritted his teeth, deciding to take a risk.
Tang Hao was seriously injured at this time, making it a good opportunity to eliminate him. He would be unwilling to let it go.
Immediately, his Qingjing Bamboo Staff Martial Soul materialized, eight red spirit rings pulsed, the white jade-colored Qingjing Domain bloomed, and the three defensive Soul Bone Skill: Emerging from Mud, Yet Untainted, Thorn Guardian, and Purple-Gold Guardian were used. Ye Chen quickly rushed into Slaughter City.
Tang Hao did not have his Martial Soul True Body at this time, nor had he used Ring Explosion. With the Soul Bone Skill: Purple-Gold Guardian, even if he took a hammer blow, he wouldn't be knocked down in one strike.
In just an instant, Ye Chen would know if the Qingjing Domain, after devouring the Slaughter God Domain, would allow him to use his Spirit Ability in Slaughter City.
If he could use his Spirit Ability in Slaughter City, then Tang Hao's head would be his today.
If not, then Ye Chen would have to reconsider carefully.
Seeing Ye Chen rush in, Tang Hao was stunned. He clearly hadn't expected Ye Chen to be so bold, rushing into Slaughter City so recklessly.
'Does this Ye Chen not know that Spirit Ability cannot be used in Slaughter City?'
Thinking of this, Tang Hao became excited. Perhaps he, Clear Sky Douluo, could even counter-kill today?
However, this was not the time to think about such things. Tang Hao immediately activated his Clear Sky Avatar again. As for Ring Explosion? Unless absolutely necessary, Tang Hao dared not use it.
If he continued to use Ring Explosion, he might fall before he could even take down Ye Chen.
After Tang Hao activated his Clear Sky Avatar, it immediately drew the attention of Slaughter City's Enforcement Squad and many Fallen Ones.
The outer city walls of Slaughter City couldn't stop the hundred-meter-tall Clear Sky Avatar, and with such a huge commotion, even if their sight was blocked, they could still sense it.
However, given the powerful aura Tang Hao exuded, the Enforcement Squad dared not act rashly.
Because they knew that those who could activate their Martial Soul True Body in Slaughter City, besides their Enforcement Squad, were the four rakshasa gods of the current era.
Among the four rakshasa gods of the current era, only the rakshasa god who had just become a rakshasa god a few days ago was not very strong. As for the other three, they were all existences they couldn't afford to provoke.
The Enforcement Squad dared not join the fun, so the many Fallen Ones in Slaughter City naturally dared even less to join the fun.
After all, from the looks of it, a fight was about to break out.
They dared not get involved in a battle between such powerful individuals; they could only watch from a distance.
Otherwise, if they became the center of attention, that wouldn't be good.
"Who is being so presumptuous outside the city?"
"Martial Soul True Body? Which Lord rakshasa god has come to Slaughter City?"
"It couldn't be those two rakshasa gods who left a few days ago, could it?"
"Nonsense! Didn't you see the hammer in that person's hand? Blood Asura's Spirit is a bamboo stick, and Blood Rakshasa's is a fox. If you don't know, don't babble!"
"Hmm? You dare tell me not to babble? Go to hell!"
Immediately, two Fallen Ones in the inner city, due to an argument, started a bloody fight.
.....
After rushing into Slaughter City, Ye Chen smiled with satisfaction as he saw the eight red spirit rings still blooming on his body and not retracting into him.
Since the spirit rings could appear, this meant that the Qingjing Domain had an effect similar to the Slaughter God Domain, allowing him to bypass the restriction of not being able to use Spirit Ability in Slaughter City.
With his Spirit Ability functioning normally, the Spirit Bone on Tang Hao's body would be his today!
"This is impossible!!!"
Seeing the eight spirit rings still blooming on Ye Chen's body, Tang Hao immediately exclaimed in surprise.
Without the Slaughter God Domain, shouldn't all of Ye Chen's spirit rings have been forced back into his body, unable to be displayed?
"Impossible? Nothing is impossible!
As soon as I left Barack City, I encountered an ambush from your Clear Sky Sect. I suppose you've been looking for me for a long time, haven't you? I forgot to tell you, I just left Slaughter City a few days ago!"
Ye Chen explained with a smile to Tang Hao, who was exclaiming "impossible."
"Alright, I'll send you on your way! First Spirit Ability, Imprisonment!"
Ye Chen, disregarding martial ethics, swiftly activated his First Spirit Ability while Tang Hao was still in shock.
'Not good!'
Seeing the Bamboo Staff phantom fly towards him, Tang Hao immediately thought 'not good.' As his spirit power surged, two layers of shields, one yellow and one gold, suddenly materialized on his body, and he began to try his best to evade the Bamboo Staff phantom.
However, it was a bit regrettable. Ye Chen's First Spirit Ability, Imprisonment, was a hundred-thousand-year control-type Spirit Ability. If it could be evaded so easily, it would be unworthy of its hundred-thousand-year age.
"Thump--"
A dull sound was heard. Even though Ye Chen hadn't had time to activate his Martial Soul True Body yet, and the effect of the Imprisonment Spirit Ability hadn't reached its strongest, it still caused Tang Hao to fall into an Imprisonment state, unable to move.
"Seventh Spirit Ability, Clear净 Bamboo Staff True Body!"
Seeing Tang Hao fall to his move, Ye Chen immediately activated his Martial Soul True Body, then unleashed a series of Spirit Ability.
"Second Spirit Ability, Fixed Awareness!"
"Third Spirit Ability, Banning God!"
"Fourth Spirit Ability, Blindness!"
"Fifth Spirit Ability, Silence!"
"Sixth Spirit Ability, Weakness!"
As for the two Eighth Spirit Ability, Ye Chen didn't use them.
He had tried it before; Tang Hao's mental force was very strong, and at his current mental force level, it was still a bit lacking.
After a series of control Spirit Ability to ensure Tang Hao couldn't break free from their control for a short time, Ye Chen immediately launched a barrage of attacks at Tang Hao.
"Soul Bone Skill: Myriad Branches!"
"Soul Bone Skill: Azure Wood Ascends to the Sky!"
"Soul Bone Skill: Endless Blood Vines!"
Countless dark green branches suddenly materialized around Tang Hao.
In mid-air, a large number of towering green trees also condensed.
On the ground, eight blood-colored python-like vines rapidly swept out.
Subsequently, countless branches, dense green giant trees, and tough blood vines all launched a dense offensive towards Tang Hao, who was restrained in place and unable to move.
Chapter 359 Graduation!
"Bang~!" "Bang~!" "Bang~!" "Bang~!" "Bang~!" "Bang~!"
Countless collision sounds rang out. In an instant, the two layers of yellow and gold shields on the Clear Sky Avatar's body were completely shattered by the branches, giant trees, and Endless Blood Vines.
"Tsk~, it seems Tang Hao's two defensive Spirit Bone Skills aren't very effective!"
Looking at the two defensive Spirit Bone Skills that were as fragile as paper, breaking with a single poke, Ye Chen said with a sigh.
Compared to the explosive attack after Ring Explosion, Tang Hao's two defensive Spirit Bone Skills were undoubtedly more than one level lower, not on the same tier at all.
Of course, Ye Chen also knew that the age of these two Spirit Bones wasn't too low, and their defensive capabilities were actually quite good.
However, everything depended on the comparison. Facing two attack system hundred-thousand-year Spirit Bone Skills, plus the Endless Blood Vines which integrated attack and control, they appeared so vulnerable.
If it were a Titled Douluo like Sha Long, it would probably take a while to break through the defense.
When the branches finished lashing and the last towering giant tree fell, the earth-shattering commotion gradually subsided.
Clearly visible, faint cracks appeared on Tang Hao's enormous Clear Sky Avatar.
"Soul Bone Skill: Eye of Corrosive Poison!"
Looking at the appearing cracks, Ye Chen prepared to redouble his efforts, aiming to destroy Tang Hao's Clear Sky Avatar in one wave.
Instantly, a terrifying, dark green giant eye appeared in mid-air.
Subsequently, a emerald green beam of light shot out from the dark green giant eye towards Tang Hao.
After the emerald green beam hit Tang Hao, the intense corrosive poison did not spread within Tang Hao's body; instead, it was resisted by his Clear Sky Avatar.
Of course, this did not mean that Ye Chen's Soul Bone Skill: Eye of Corrosive Poison was useless. At this moment, the emerald green beam of light carrying terrifying venom was clashing and dissolving with Tang Hao's Clear Sky Avatar, emitting sizzling sounds.
Previously, on the battlefield outside Barack City, the Soul Bone Skill: Eye of Corrosive Poison was able to instantly kill the Clear Sky Sect's level 93 Elder because his Clear Sky Avatar wasn't strong enough to withstand the terrifying poison carried by the emerald green beam of light.
But Tang Hao was different; the stronger his power, the harder his Martial Soul True Body was to break.
If Tang Hao's Clear Sky Avatar couldn't hold on first and succumbed to the terrifying venom carried by the emerald green beam, then Tang Hao would only be poisoned to death.
If the emerald green beam dissolved first, then Ye Chen would have to continue his attack.
Of course, Ye Chen wasn't just watching; he fully controlled the eight Endless Blood Vines to quickly attack Tang Hao.
Soon, after the emerald green beam was dissolved, the Clear Sky Avatar was already covered in shattered patterns, as if it were pieced together broken glass.
The next second, accompanied by the sound of the Endless Blood Vines lashing, with a "Boom—", the Clear Sky Avatar was shattered, revealing Tang Hao's heavily injured figure lying on the ground.
"Soul Bone Skill: Creation Divine Light!"
Powerful mental force surged, and two cyan beams of light shot out from Ye Chen's eyes, instantly hitting Tang Hao, who was still under control.
The moment Creation Divine Light hit, blood immediately oozed from Tang Hao's eyes, ears, mouth, and nose, and his aura began to weaken.
"Hmm? Not dead yet?"
Looking at Tang Hao, who was barely breathing on the ground, Ye Chen raised his eyebrows. He hadn't expected Tang Hao to be as resilient as a cockroach; even after taking the Soul Bone Skill: Creation Divine Light head-on with a heavily injured body, it hadn't managed to kill him.
Subsequently, Ye Chen beckoned with his finger. With a "Puff—", a blood-colored vine, like a giant python, pierced through Tang Hao's chest under his control.
Blood splattered, and Tang Hao, pierced through the chest, gave up.
Thus, the famous Clear Sky Douluo, protagonist Tang San's father, Clear Sky Sect's Vice Sect Master, Spirit Hall's biggest fugitive, Slaughter City's Haotian Killing God, a level 97 attack system Titled Douluo, and part-time Grass Master, Tang Hao, died!
Tang Hao's death also meant that the fifteen experts who ambushed Ye Chen were completely wiped out.
"Hmm, finally got him!"
Looking at Tang Hao, who had completely given up, Ye Chen nodded in satisfaction.
Dismissing his Martial Soul True Body, Ye Chen stepped forward to check the spoils of war after eliminating Tang Hao.
He just wondered if Tang Hao had brought his wife with him? The thought made him a little excited!
Ahem~, I, Ye, am not surnamed Cao, scratch that, scratch that!
While Ye Chen was checking the spoils, someone was secretly observing him.
'Should I kill this kid?'
The Slaughter King, completely enveloped in a blood-colored cloak, stroked his chin, pondering the pros and cons.
For the Slaughter King, killing Ye Chen was naturally beneficial; not only would it reduce one contemporary Killing God, but it would also prevent his true identity from being exposed.
The Slaughter King vividly remembered Ye Chen's verbal threats when the Hell Road was opened a few days ago, so he naturally wished Ye Chen dead.
As for the downsides, if he could kill Ye Chen, there would naturally be none.
But if he failed and Ye Chen escaped, then needless to say, retaliation would be inevitable in the future.
Tang Chen was Tang Chen, and the Slaughter King was the Slaughter King. Even if the Nine Headed Bloody Crimson Bat King occupied the body of the super Douluo Tang Chen, it couldn't fully exert its power, otherwise, it wouldn't have needed to fear Tang Hao and Bibi Dong, who were Killing Gods, in the past.
Now, even Tang Hao had died at Ye Chen's hands, showing Ye Chen's extraordinary strength. Coupled with Ye Chen's high-level mental attack Spirit Bone Skill, the Slaughter King was naturally extremely wary.
However, there was also good news. Ye Chen had just used so many Spirit Bone Skills and even dismissed his Martial Soul True Body, so he obviously couldn't use them again for a short period.
Another, most important point, was that he could use the Killing Domain.
One must know that the Killing Domain was the most overbearing Domain in the world, with its greatest effect being magic nullification.
Within the Killing Domain, enemies would be unable to use any Spirit Abilities, only the most basic form of their Spirit.
And the only one immune to the magic nullification effect was the Slaughter God Domain, but the Slaughter God Domain itself was countered by the Killing Domain, making it an unsolvable situation.
In the Slaughter King's view, Ye Chen, this young man who had just become a Killing God, even with a mutated version of the Slaughter God Domain, still seemed very immature and would definitely be suppressed by him.
That's right, the Slaughter King mistook Ye Chen's Pure Nether Domain for a mutated version of the Slaughter God Domain. Otherwise, why could Ye Chen use Spirit Abilities in Slaughter City?
Even the Spirit Hall's super Douluo Qian Daoliu couldn't do that!
Although the Slaughter King was a bit strange as to why Ye Chen's mutated version of the Slaughter God Domain appeared as white jade, none of that was the main point.
The main point was that this mutated version of the Slaughter God Domain would still be countered by the Killing Domain, and within the Killing Domain, Ye Chen would be unable to use Spirit Abilities, and that was all that mattered!
Chapter 360 The dumbfounded King of Killing
If he couldn't use Spirit Abilities and his Soul Bone Skills were temporarily unavailable, wouldn't Ye Chen be like a soft persimmon, to be molded and squeezed however he liked?
Thinking of this, the Slaughter King's lips curved into a smile.
At this moment, Ye Chen looked at the corpse on the ground, feeling very satisfied.
Tang Hao's limbs, head, and torso all emitted Soul Bone fluctuations, which meant that Tang Hao had a full set of Soul Bones.
That's right, after Tang Hao's wife sacrificed herself, she left behind a Right Leg Bone.
When a 100,000-year Spirit Beast is hunted or sacrificed, in addition to a very small chance of dropping an external Spirit Bone, the Soul Bone that appears will definitely be the one the Spirit Master lacks.
Of course, if the Soul Bone slots are full, then the Soul Bone most compatible with the Spirit Beast itself will appear. For example, if the Soul Bone slots are full and a 100,000-year mental force Spirit Beast is hunted, then a head Soul Bone will most likely appear.
From this, it can be seen that at that time, Tang Hao either didn't have a Right Leg Bone on him, or his Soul Bone slots were already full.
And Soul Bones for the Right Leg are not considered rare, plus Tang Hao was from the direct lineage of the Clear Sky Sect, so it was normal for him to have a complete set of Soul Bones before advancing to Titled Douluo.
Immediately, Ye Chen stripped off Tang Hao's six Soul Bones and his spirit tool.
After careful Perception, Ye Chen discovered that among these six Soul Bones, the oldest was a right arm bone, over 90,000 years old, followed by a left leg bone, around 80,000 years old.
These two Soul Bones were also the Clear Sky Sect's inherited Soul Bones.
Of similar value to these two Soul Bones were the 40,000-year-old torso Soul Bone and the 30,000-year-old head Soul Bone.
At the same age, a torso Soul Bone provides a greater boost to a Spirit Master than an ordinary limb Soul Bone.
And among the six major Soul Bone slots, the only one that can enhance mental force is the head Soul Bone.
Furthermore, torso Soul Bones and head Soul Bones are relatively rare, so even though these two Soul Bones were considerably younger, their age of over 30,000 to 40,000 years could definitely rival ordinary 60,000 to 70,000-year-old Soul Bones.
The remaining left arm bone and Right Leg Bone, while also 40,000 to 50,000 years old, were of significantly less value compared to the previous three Soul Bones.
Of course, in the eyes of ordinary Spirit Masters, Soul Bones, regardless of whether they are high-year or low-year, are invaluable treasures.
As for the storage spirit tool, it wasn't a high-grade item; it couldn't store living creatures, so the Blue Silver Emperor he had originally hoped for was naturally not inside.
Ye Chen felt a little regretful about this.
Fortunately, he wasn't a Cao thief, so he didn't absolutely have to have it.
"Clap, clap, clap—!"
Just as Ye Chen had put away his spoils of war and was about to leave Slaughter City, a round of applause suddenly rang out.
Turning his head, Ye Chen saw a tall figure in a blood-red cloak standing at the entrance of Slaughter City, applauding him.
'Slaughter King?'
Looking at the suddenly appearing Slaughter King, Ye Chen narrowed his eyes and tightened his grip on the Pure Nether Bamboo Staff.
This vampire was certainly up to no good; he probably even wanted to kill him, otherwise, he wouldn't be blocking the entrance and exit.
Seeing Ye Chen's vigilant posture, the Slaughter King smiled indifferently, and his deep, sharp voice rang out: "Ye Chen, you truly live up to your reputation as the most talented Slaughter God in the history of Slaughter City! Even the renowned Clear Sky Douluo from the outside world died by your hand."
"Thank you for the compliment! Do you have anything else? If not, I'm going out to eat."
If possible, Ye Chen didn't want to fight with the Slaughter King; maintaining a peaceful coexistence was fine.
"Eat? Why don't you stay in Slaughter City! Let me fulfill my duties as a host!"
Saying this, the Slaughter King revealed a bloodthirsty smile.
"Old bat, I advise you to think carefully before making a decision!"
Ye Chen's expression immediately darkened as he warned the Slaughter King.
"You're ungrateful, go to hell! Killing Domain! Hahahahaha..."
Instantly, a bloody light flashed, and the Killing Domain, emanating endless slaughter and evil aura, immediately enveloped Ye Chen.
At this moment, the Slaughter King seemed to see Ye Chen being casually crushed to death by him, and he couldn't help but laugh loudly at the sky.
"Stop! You bastard, what are you laughing at?"
The pig-slaughtering laughter was pure noise pollution, and Ye Chen couldn't help but pick his ears, interrupting the Slaughter King's loud laughter.
"Hahaha... Uh, uh... What's going on? Didn't you just acquire that mutated Slaughter God Domain? How could it withstand the suppression of the Killing Domain?"
Looking at Ye Chen's 'mutated Slaughter God Domain' which was still present and not suppressed, the Slaughter King's eyes widened, and he looked at Ye Chen with an incredulous expression.
This was not how he imagined it!
According to the original script, shouldn't Ye Chen's newly acquired Slaughter God Domain be suppressed by his Killing Domain, making him unable to use Spirit Abilities?
"Pure Nether Domain, break for me! First Spirit Ability, Imprisonment!"
Taking advantage of the Slaughter King's stunned state, Ye Chen immediately used his Pure Nether Domain to break through the Killing Domain, and then slammed a staff onto his forehead.
Instantly, a Bamboo Staff phantom flew out, descending onto the Slaughter King's head, and then struck down fiercely.
"Dong—"
A dull sound rang out, and a large bump immediately protruded from the center of the Slaughter King's pale forehead in Slaughter City; he had fallen into an Imprisonment state, unable to move.
Having succeeded with one move, Ye Chen unhesitatingly bypassed the Slaughter King, crossed the portal, and left Slaughter City.
With his current strength, it was not advisable to fight to the death with the Slaughter King.
One should know that the Slaughter King was not the ultimate BOSS.
Even if he couldn't defeat the Slaughter King with all his methods, Ye Chen felt that he wouldn't be defeated.
But if Tang Chen, that ruthless individual, were to return, then it would be over; he had just killed his grandson!
Once Tang Chen escaped and his consciousness returned, what awaited Ye Chen would definitely not be gratitude, but a huge Clear Sky Hammer.
Tang Chen, whose strength had reached the demigod level, was not someone Ye Chen could deal with for the time being.
What's more, Ye Chen hadn't forgotten that if Tang Chen could break free from the control of the Nine Headed Bloody Crimson Bat King, it would mean he had passed the Asura Eight Trials and gained the recognition of the super divine tool: the Asura God Sword.
Qian Daoliu, wielding the divine tool: the Angelic Sacred Sword, could cleave through Tang Hao's strongest hammer with a single strike. Facing Tang Chen, who wielded the super divine tool: the Asura God Sword, Ye Chen didn't think his small body could withstand it.
Although the Soul Bone Skills: Emerging from Mud, Yet Untainted, Thorn Guardian, and Purple-Gold Guardian were effective, they were ultimately just 100,000-year Soul Bone Skills.
Against ordinary Spirit Masters, and even Titled Douluo, 100,000-year Soul Bone Skills were very effective.
But against true experts, especially those wielding super divine tools, the 100,000-year age seemed a bit insufficient.
Not long after Ye Chen left, the afflicted Slaughter King broke free from the Imprisonment state.
