Douluo: Ant Power Breaks the Sky

Above the small town outside the City of Slaughter.

When Tang San came here again, his eyes, which were usually very warm, couldn't help but flash with a hint of pleasure.

In fact, compared to becoming a sect leader, Tang San would rather delve into hidden weapons and experience the sense of accomplishment gained from using hidden weapons in battle, which gives him much more freedom than being a sect leader.

Tang San now exudes the aura of a nobleman. As he slowly walks on the road in the town, he can feel a large amount of aura locking onto him, because it is really incongruous for him to come to this place now.

Tang San didn't say much, an extremely cold and bloody murderous intent burst out from Tang San's body. All the people who were staring at Tang San in secret stopped their actions, cold sweat kept coming out on their foreheads, and their throats couldn't help but move subconsciously.

"Anyone who acts rashly will die!" Tang San said calmly.

They walked step by step towards the tavern in the center of the town, until Tang San's figure gradually disappeared, and those who were watching in the dark still did not move.

After Tang San entered the tavern, he said to the bartender calmly: "Open it, I want to go down."

When the bartender wanted to say something, Tang San's eyes turned bloodshot, and the strong murderous intent instantly enveloped the bartender.

Seeing this, the bartender honestly opened the mechanism. Seeing Tang San's figure disappear into the darkness, the bartender secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Pushing open the familiar door and entering the City of Slaughter, Tang San could clearly feel this time that the rules of the City of Slaughter were completely ineffective for him.

"I didn't know King Shura was here. Sorry for the impoliteness." A familiar voice sounded in Tang San's ears.

Tang San slowly shifted his gaze over, and the person coming was none other than the woman in black veil.

Seeing this, Tang San nodded slightly, saving him the trouble of going looking for it himself.

"I wonder what advice King Shura has for you now that you are here?" the woman in black veil asked tentatively.

"I want to meet the great King of Slaughter." Tang San looked at the woman in black veil and said calmly.

The woman in black veil understood, since Tang San was not here to cause trouble then it would be easy to deal with.

"Bring him to see me." A powerful and fierce voice sounded in the minds of the two.

The woman in black veil also bowed quickly and said, "Yes, the great king of killing."

Soon, Tang San followed the woman in black veil into a dark room. With a strange wave, the room became brighter, and Tang San saw the blood-red figure sitting high on the throne.

"Long time no see, great King of Slaughter." Tang San bowed slightly towards the King of Slaughter.

Seeing Tang San being so respectful, the King of Slaughter smiled evilly and said, "Long time no see. I am the God of Slaughter of Slaughter City. I wonder what brings you here so suddenly?"

Hearing this, Tang San also smiled and said: "As a member of the Slaughter City, I heard some good news from the outside world, so naturally I have to report it to you."

“Oh? A member of the City of Slaughter? When I wanted to recruit you to be my guest, you didn’t agree.” The King of Slaughter looked at Tang San and said jokingly.

"I have no intention of offending your authority. I just wanted to become more powerful. I came here to discuss cooperation with you." Tang San did not care about the attitude of the King of Slaughter and smiled.

"Cooperation? What kind of cooperation can there be between us?" The King of Killing said disdainfully.

Tang San had lived with Ning Fengzhi for a long time, so he could naturally hear the hidden meaning behind the words of the King of Slaughter. However, Tang San was not angry, because what the King of Slaughter said was right, he did not have equal strength to cooperate with him.

"You don't want to be the head of the Spirit Hall's jail for the rest of your life, do you?" Tang San uttered these words slowly.

Hearing this, the black-veiled woman shouted at Tang San: "How dare you, Shura King! Even though you are the God of Killing, it does not mean you can disrespect the King of Killing."

The King of Slaughter had a gloomy face and slowly raised his hand to signal the woman in black veil to shut up. Seeing this, the woman in black veil bowed slightly to the King of Slaughter in fear and stepped aside.

"What do you want to say?" The King of Killing said lightly, holding the throne with his hand.

"The power of the Spirit Hall is about to sweep across the entire continent. In order for us to continue to survive, we beg the King of Slaughter for help." Tang San said softly.

"What does this have to do with me? Your affairs have no impact on me. Even if the Spirit Hall destroys all of you, I feel good. At least there are two less killing gods." The King of Slaughter looked at Tang San and said casually.

"Is this really the case?" Tang San smiled and looked into the eyes of the King of Slaughter.

Then he continued, "If the Spirit Hall really wipes us all out, in the short term, there will indeed be two less Killing Gods, that is, me and my father. But in the long run, the Slaughter City may not only be a prison for the Spirit Hall, but also a nursery for the Spirit Hall to cultivate talents. The two people who left the Slaughter City before me, if I am right, they should also be from the Spirit Hall. Once the Spirit Hall controls the entire continent, it will only be a matter of time before your authority disappears. The Spirit Hall will cultivate more Killing Gods here, and it is hard to say whether you will still be the King of Slaughter by then."

Upon hearing this, the King of Slaughter had a gloomy face and said nothing. It was indeed as Tang San said, if the Spirit Hall really conquered the entire Douluo Continent, the future of the Slaughter City would not be good.

When a powerful force unifies order, the number of criminals will naturally decrease greatly, and as the Spirit Hall's strength continues to grow, they will become the nursery as Tang San said.

"How can I be sure that if I help you, you won't do the same thing as Wuhun?" asked the King of Slaughter.

Tang San shook his head slightly and said: "I really can't guarantee it, because I am the only one here today, and my words can't explain anything, so I don't want you to help directly. I just hope that the great King of Slaughter can weigh the pros and cons at the most critical moment for us. At that time, whether to help or not is based on your own consideration."

The King of Slaughter nodded and said, "That's fair." Hearing this, Tang San smiled and said, "Then I would like to thank the great King of Slaughter here."

Just as Tang San said, Tang San had no way to give him anything, and the King of Slaughter did not need to stand by his side. The King of Slaughter only needed to maintain the delicate balance of forces on the continent. In the short term, the King of Slaughter's target would definitely be the Spirit Hall.

What they wanted was very simple. As sect spirit masters, they did not care who the emperor was. As long as the sect was prosperous enough, that was enough. The Tang sect’s main business, hidden weapons, could only be put to good use in the struggle between forces.

The King of Slaughter nodded and said, "Then please do as you please, God of Slaughter. If you are interested, it is okay to stay in the City of Slaughter for a few more days."

"I have a mission to fulfill, so I won't bother you any more." Tang San said respectfully.

The Slaughter King and the black-veiled woman watched Tang San leave. The black-veiled woman looked at the Slaughter King and said, "Master, are we really helping them?
Hearing this, the Slaughter King sneered and said, "Help? They can't destroy the Spirit Hall with their abilities. He just hopes that we can help him buy some time and balance the power of the Spirit Hall. However, he is right about one thing. We can't just watch the Spirit Hall successfully rule the continent. The more they fight, the more chances we have."

"From today on, you should pay attention to the information from the outside world." The King of Slaughter said calmly to the woman in black veil.

"Yes, master." The woman in black veil bowed.

On the other side, Poseidon Island.

At the same time as the golden bead shattered, the soul power in Shi Yi's body was flowing wildly at an extremely fast speed, and even the soul core in his body was spinning rapidly. Shi Yi was very confident in himself. Although he did not know where his limit was, with his physical strength, he had already surpassed the average Titled Douluo. It was a foregone conclusion that his seventh soul ring was at the 100,000-year level. Now was the time to test his own limit.

Shi Yi's skull and two hundred thousand year soul bones also appeared at the same time. The golden light surrounding Shi Yi suddenly became more intense. In the golden mist, one could vaguely see strands of golden threads beginning to squeeze around Shi Yi's body.

"Two hundred thousand year old soul bones. The age of that skull is not low either." Poseidon secretly exclaimed.

Shi Yi's face was calm. When the golden threads appeared, his right leg, right arm, and skull all released a faint halo. Through the stimulation of soul power, the three soul bones took effect at the same time.

The golden mist surrounding his body has completely changed. Before, only one tenth of the golden light turned into silk threads, but this time, the mist disappeared, and all the golden light turned into circles of golden threads, as if they were weaving, constantly shuttling around Shi Yi's body. Along with the shuttling of these golden threads, the soul power in Shi Yi's body was released without reservation.

At this time, the golden energy around Shi Yi's body changed its form again. Strands of golden threads began to condense together and turned into circles of golden halos. There were nine halos in total. They first expanded around Shi Yi's body, and then contracted again, hitting Shi Yi heavily. Every time the golden halo hit Shi Yi's body, Shi Yi remained calm. An invisible force seemed to remove the force of the impact.

At this moment, Shi Yi was like a high-speed spinning top, and the power of the God-given soul ring was like a whip, making Shi Yi spin faster and faster. For a moment, the soul power in Shi Yi's body suddenly expanded.

Shi Yi did not slack off because he had no pressure, because Shi Yi understood that although the pressure brought by the God-given soul ring was relieved by his method of controlling soul power, the speed at which soul power entered the body had increased. If it could not be perfectly compressed, then his desire for the power of the God-given soul ring would cause Shi Yi to begin to collapse from the inside out.

Shi Yi recalled the three months of training in his mind. While constantly using his soul power to relieve stress, he allowed the soul power in his body to be continuously compressed like a body being forged on a forging table. The endless soul power from the God-given soul ring was compressed and used when it entered Shi Yi's body, forming a closed loop at this moment.

Not long after, the nine golden halos on Shi Yi's body turned completely red, and then became one, transforming into a huge blood-red halo that appeared around Shi Yi.

Poseidon was watching this scene with admiration in Shi Yi's beautiful eyes. Being able to absorb a hundred thousand year level spirit ring at the Soul Saint level meant that Shi Yi was far superior to her back then.

Moreover, because of Shi Yi's magical cultivation method, she could clearly feel that the God-given soul ring did not cause any pressure on Shi Yi's body. Instead, it activated Shi Yi's potential and allowed Shi Yi to absorb the power of the God-given soul ring more easily.

"Interesting. I wonder how long this kid can keep using this method." Poseidon thought to himself.

The power of the God-given soul ring will continue to grow stronger with the passage of time, but Shi Yi's progress will never be able to keep up with the growing power of the God-given soul ring.

As time went by, just as Poseidon had expected, Shi Yi's entire body began to turn red, his veins became slightly prominent, and tiny beads of blood began to seep out of Shi Yi's skin from the inside out. The three people who had been keeping an eye on Shi Yi were shocked.

Zhu Zhuqing said to Bo Saixi: "Senior, Xiao Yi will be alright, right?"

Bo Saixi said softly: "This child is challenging his own limits. He doesn't want to waste the power of the God-given spirit ring. This is a good thing for him. Don't worry, if he really can't bear it, he will stop by himself."

Zhu Zhuqing looked at Poseidon and nodded slightly after hearing this.

As the blood continued to seep out, the Blue Silver Emperor Soul Bone on Shi Yi's right leg suddenly emitted a bright blue light. The power of the soul bone continued to repair his body, and the soul power injected into the soul bone also gave Shi Yi a few more opportunities to catch his breath.

"Yes, I still have soul bones to use." Shi Yi said secretly in his heart.

At this time, Shi Yi's distraction control was at full power, and soul power continued to flow into Shi Yi's three soul bones. While using soul power, he repaired his body and continued to compress his soul power.

At this time, nine golden halos appeared outside the huge blood-red halo surrounding Shi Yi.

Gradually, Shi Yi felt the speed at which his body tissues were being destroyed. The Blue Silver Emperor Soul Bone could no longer repair itself, and the power of the God-given Soul Ring seemed to be increasing. He no longer had any more means to buy himself time and create a buffer space for the compression of his soul power, so he stopped insisting.

Bo Saixi is the guide of the God-Given Soul Ring. At this time, she clearly felt that Shi Yi had given up. "Do your best." These four words are particularly important when absorbing a God-Given Soul Ring. Not many people can remain rational in front of a God-Given Soul Ring. Although Bo Saixi can stop the absorber, it is still very harmful to the body to withstand a soul ring of too high a age. Not everyone has the conditions like Shi Yi.

It can be said that Shi Yi applied all he had learned throughout his life to the absorption of this soul ring, including his strong body, mental strength, martial arts, the soul control ability that combined the power of controlling cranes and capturing dragons, and even his soul bones.

"It's really rare that they have persisted for 190,000 years. It's a pity that the first inheritance this child encountered was not from Lord Poseidon." Poseidon said secretly.

A faint golden color began to appear on Shi Yi's body, and then the gold became more and more obvious, and the light spread outward. In the golden light, Shi Yi, who was sitting on the ground, slowly stood up, and his arms stretched out powerfully to both sides of his body. Only a clanging sound of bones popping could be heard from his body. Yes, it was clanging, as if his whole body was stretching outward.
