Douluo: I am the outer demon

Chapter 165: Shang An interferes with Tang San's divine test
What happened this time was obviously beyond his expectations and made him reveal his emotions. This was a secret realm opened up by gods, how could anyone break in forcibly?

If Shang An entered the secret realm through normal means, Jingzhi would naturally be able to feel it, but he did not find any signs of the secret realm being opened. Obviously Shang An came in through another way.

"You haven't answered my question yet." Shang An's eyes looked through the void, as if he saw the real body of Thorn. He had been studying the teleportation array for some time, and coupled with frequent research on the life and death arena, his attainments in space had also deepened a lot. A rough secret space like this could not stop him at all.

After hearing Shang An's words, Jingzhi paused for a moment, and then said angrily: "I don't care who you are, this is the inheritance place of the God of Suffering, please leave immediately!"

He couldn't see through Shang An, so he was unwilling to conflict with Shang An and just hoped that Shang An could leave on his own.

But Shang An came here specifically, so how could he leave just because of a few threats?

"Why don't you tell me your identity and purpose? Maybe we can reach a cooperation and I can help you."

Shang An spoke up. He could feel that there was something strange about this place of divine inheritance, and this thorn might not be Tang San's helper.

"Leave or die!" Thorn's tone became even heavier, and the threat was evident in his words.

This made Shang An's smile gradually fade away. His eyes turned cold. "Hmph, you are asking for your own death."

Since this thorn is so ungrateful, there is no need to keep it. What's the point of keeping it if I can't use it?

The moment Shang An's face turned cold, Jing Ji suddenly felt a sense of alarm in his heart, and he chose to attack without hesitation.

Suddenly, this empty space turned into a sea of ​​thorny vines. Countless thorny vines filled the entire space. Long thorn dragons roared ferociously and rushed towards Shang An. These thorny vines were much more powerful than the ones Tang San used.

Each thorny vine can easily severely injure or even kill a Soul Douluo, and the strongest ones can even make Shang An feel a little threatened.

In this environment, I'm afraid that even a Title Douluo wouldn't survive for more than three seconds.

However, Shang An didn't care. No matter how powerful a plant was, it could not withstand the burning of the divine fire.

A cluster of pure red flames surged up, and sparks floated on a long vine. In an instant, a raging fire ignited on the vine. The vines twisted wildly in an attempt to put out the fire, but instead more vines were contaminated by the flames.

But in an instant, the vines that filled the entire space turned into nothingness, leaving no trace of even ashes.

"How is this possible!" This time, Jingzhi's voice was even more panicked and even helpless, with a bit of disbelief. That move was one of his special moves. Facing Shang An, who was difficult to see through but could force his way into the secret realm of the gods, he did not dare to be careless at all and used all his strength when he attacked.

After the attack just now, even for a peerless Douluo, the only option was to flee. However, the man in front of him broke through it easily, and the divine fire actually went through the thorns controlled by him and directly damaged his soul. If he hadn't cut off the connection with that part of his soul in time, he might have ascended to heaven on the spot.

"So he's just a demigod?" Shang An, who had sensed the strength of Jingzhi, smiled slightly. Although he is only level 97 now, is this his true strength?
Probably,
I am invincible under the true God, but I can’t say how many I can replace with if the true God comes.

"Damn it, do you think you can take me down?"

Seeing Shang An's relaxed look, Jingzhi seemed very angry, and there was also a bit of uneasiness in his expression. He wanted to eliminate the threat of Shang An as soon as possible. He not only had the strength of a demigod, he also had authority over this space.

"Suffer the hardship, you arrogant man!"

Suddenly, all kinds of torture instruments appeared in this space and attacked Shang An together. These numerous torture instruments seemed to carry the wails of all living beings. The negative mental force kept trying to pierce Shang An's soul, trying to drag him into endless suffering.

The Thorn who performed this move seemed to have seen Shang An's painful expression, and the soul hidden in the interlayer of space showed a smile on its face.

"That's all."

Shang An sneered, and the Taiyi divine light swept around him. The next moment, all the torture instruments in the field were frozen in mid-air, as if time had stood still.

"Is this all there is to it?"

The words that Shang An said proved that time did not stand still here, only the torture instruments stood still.

Shang An was rather disdainful of the terrifying appearance of these torture instruments. That was it? They didn't look as terrifying as the monkey version of the Eighteen Layers of Hell that he had simulated before.

"What! Impossible!"

Thorn opened his eyes wide and exclaimed loudly. He had just called upon the power of the secret realm. Those torture instruments were the manifestation of the divine power left over from the God of Suffering, which was almost at the god level. How could they be broken so easily?

"It is absolutely impossible for a mortal to have such power. Are you a god?"

Jingzhi absolutely did not believe that a mortal could do this. How could a mortal resist the power of a god? Even the weakest god was definitely far superior to a mortal!
"Ignorance." Shang An chuckled, "Why don't you come out? Do you want me to treat you?"

The scene suddenly became quiet. There was no sound. The thorn seemed to have disappeared and stopped making any sound. It began to play dead. The only one left was Tang San, who was lying on the ground, still immersed in the illusion and twitching constantly.

"Do you think I can't find you if you hide in the space?" Shang An closed his eyes slightly.

"Innate energy to capture!"

A huge illusory hand suddenly appeared and grabbed the void in front of Shang An.

In the space mezzanine, Thorn showed disdain on his face. Even if he had power beyond that of mortals, he still couldn't do anything to him. The space mezzanine where he was was located in the deepest part of the secret realm. Unless he had power beyond that of the God of Suffering, he would never be able to enter here.

When he saw the illusory big hand that appeared in the outside world, he didn't take it seriously. He was not outside, so no matter how hard he tried, he would just be grabbing a ball of air.

He has already decided not to leave this space within ten years. How can this person still guard him outside for ten years?

Suddenly he felt a strong pull. Before he could react, his eyes blurred and he appeared in the outside world. At this time, he still had that disdainful smile on his face.

Looking at the smiling Shang An in front of him, the smile on his face gradually froze, and then turned into embarrassment.

"Hello, how can I help you?"

At the same time as he was frightened, his heart was also in turmoil. He was suddenly caught without realizing what was happening, and now he was still firmly held by that illusory big hand.

Could it be that this man is really an existence above the God of Suffering? Otherwise, how could he pull himself out of the deepest space layer in the secret realm?

"Wasn't it crazy just now?"

Shang An controlled his grappling hands and grabbed the middle-aged man named Thorn in front of him, and slapped him heavily on the cheek.

"No, no, I was just confused for a moment."

Facing Shang An's insult, Jing Ji hurriedly put on a smile. He was just being arrogant because he felt that Shang An couldn't do anything to him and that he was inherently invincible. But now he had become a fish on the chopping board, how could he still be arrogant?

You have to know that he is not the kind of person who would risk his own life. If he was not afraid of death, he would not have survived in this secret place for so many years.

"Really?" Shang An narrowed his eyes, revealing a hint of a smile, and the strength of his grappling hands couldn't help but increase a little.

This innate qi catching technique is not an ordinary technique, but a great supernatural power that is based on the primordial qi and is innate. Its essence is a primordial qi, and its external manifestation is the catching hand, which can grab everything in the world. It is a great supernatural power of the ancient thieves.

It is specially used to take objects across various restrictions and spaces. It is said that the descendants of the ancient Thieves used this magical power to steal from various major sects, but were eventually unable to bear it and many powerful people set traps and killed them together. The Thieves Sect thus declined. By the time of Shang An, it had disappeared without a trace. This magical power was also found by Shang An in a secret realm created by a predecessor of the Thieves Sect.

It is said that if this magical power can be practiced to perfection, one can get what one wants even across countless worlds, and its uses are endless.

"Yes, yes, yes." Thorn felt that his soul was being squeezed by this illusory big hand, and he quickly lowered his posture.
"Your Excellency, I am willing to cooperate. No, no, no. I am willing to obey your orders, sir."

Shang An smiled when he heard this.
"Really? What a pity, it's too late!"

"Soul search!"

In the look of horror in Jingzhi's eyes, Shang An placed his hands on Jingzhi's head, activated his mental power, and instantly dismembered Jingzhi's soul.

How can you start a fight first and then negotiate cooperation after the opponent begs for mercy? The thorns will not grow beautifully.

As the soul-searching continued, Jingzhi's not-so-long memory appeared before Shang An's eyes.

This Thorn was originally a child of destiny more than 500 years ago, a rare genius who possessed innate full soul power and a top-level martial soul, the Thorn Vine. In just forty years, he achieved the Titled Douluo and became a legend.

In pursuit of a higher realm, he began to travel around, until one day, he encountered the inheritance of the God of Suffering, which made him ecstatic and saw hope for further progress.

So he began the divine test of the God of Suffering. It has to be said that this divine test of the God of Suffering is also very strange. He actually makes his heirs feel pain in various ways. In order to achieve a higher realm, Thorn can only constantly force himself to accept these divine tests.

But just when he completed the ninth test and was about to accept the throne, suddenly a golden light descended from the sky along with a blurry figure. The golden light was so powerful and majestic that even though he was only lightly touched, his body was still shattered and his soul was close to collapse.
