Douluo Continent: I am a Hyperion larva, and I devour Xiao Wu at the start.

Chapter 24 The Taste of Soul Power of the Soul Emperor's Martial Soul

It must be said that Yao Chen's move was indeed very wise.

He swept his sword around himself, and as long as Jiang Chen teleported to his side, he would definitely be hit by his sweeping attack.

And that's exactly what happened; Yao Chen's sweeping attack did indeed hit Jiang Chen, who had teleported to her side.

Clang!

Yao Chen's Overlord Spear collided directly with the shield that Jiang Chen had activated.

The Overlord Spear, imbued with all of Yao Chen's power, either shattered Jiang Chen's shield or knocked him and the shield flying together.

But Yao Chen is the third type.

Yao Chen's strength was not as great as Jiang Chen's, and she could not break Jiang Chen's shield.

This resulted in Yao Chen's attack being deflected directly by Jiang Chen's shield.

The powerful reaction force sent Yao Chen flying along with it.

Seeing Yao Chen flying backwards in the air, the orange crystal behind Jiang Chen began to fire dark fireballs.

Bang!Bang!Bang!Bang!

Four dark fireballs were swiftly launched from Jiang Chen's orange crystal, heading straight for Yao Chen in the air.

As Yao Chen flew backwards through the air, before she could even calm her trembling left hand caused by the recoil, she noticed the dark fireball that was chasing after her.

"This soul beast is definitely not something that should exist in the Soul Hunting Forest!"

He was a level 68 Soul Emperor, yet he had little ability to resist this Soul Beast.

They were completely suppressed throughout the fight. Keep in mind that this is the Soul Hunting Forest, a place where the Spirit Hall specially raises soul beasts for soul masters to use for advancement.

Soul beasts of this caliber should appear in the Star Dou Great Forest or Sunset Forest!

Facing the four fireballs hurtling towards him, Yao Chen ignored the pain in her hands and gripped the Overlord Spear with both hands to block the dark fireballs released by Jiang Chen.

"First Soul Skill! Crescent Moon!"

After gripping the Overlord Spear with both hands, Yao Chen swung it forward, sending a blue blade hurtling towards the dark fireball released by Jiang Chen.

Bang!Bang!

After one dark fireball shattered Yao Chen's released soul skill, the remaining three continued to rush towards Yao Chen with undiminished power.

"Drink it!!"

Facing three fireballs that were already within reach, Yao Chen wielded her Overlord Spear to block them.

Bang!Bang!Bang!

The Overlord Spear, imbued with soul power, struck the dark fireball, causing it to explode instantly.

However, the shockwave from the explosion of the dark fireball also propelled Yao Chen away at an even greater speed.

Boom!Boom!Boom!

After crashing through three trees, Yao Chen rolled on the ground repeatedly, only managing to maintain her balance with the help of the Overlord Spear.

"Cough! Cough! Cough!"

Holding onto the Overlord Spear to barely steady herself, Yao Chen coughed up blood mixed with chunks of flesh, clearly indicating that her internal organs had been damaged.

Don't underestimate Jiang Chen's Dark Fireball just because it's small; it has the powerful ability to clash with Saga's skills.

Once Jiang Chen seriously unleashes the Dark Fireball, its power should not be underestimated.

Ta-da! Ta-da! Ta-da!

Jiang Chen quickly approached Yao Chen, who was supporting the Overlord Spear.

Although Jiang Chen easily defeated Yao Chen, a level 68 Battle Soul Emperor, he didn't feel particularly happy.

Not to mention that she's already old and only at level 68, Yao Chen doesn't seem to have much talent or a powerful martial spirit.

Moreover, Jiang Chen is a Hypa larva, so isn't it only natural that he is powerful?

At this moment, Yao Chen was unable to move and could only barely lift her head to look at Jiang Chen in front of her.

"Ahem! Why are there soul beasts like you in the Soul Hunter Forest?"

Yao Chen was in pain and extremely unwilling, as she was unable to avenge her beloved grandson.

Swish!

A cold glint flashed, and Jiang Chen severed Yao Chen's hand holding the Overlord Spear with a single slash.

"Holy crap!!"

As expected of a Soul Emperor who has experienced battle, Yao Chen did not scream in pain even when Jiang Chen cut off her hand.

Jiang Chen then grabbed Yao Chen's Overlord Spear and swallowed it into his body.

When Jiang Chen absorbed the Overlord Spear and converted it into energy, Yao Chen's eyes widened suddenly as she looked at Jiang Chen in disbelief:

"How is this possible! My martial spirit! My soul power!!"

At this moment, Yao Chen understood why this soul beast was behaving so strangely.

He can actually devour a Soul Master's Martial Soul, as well as the Soul Master's Soul Power!

After becoming an ordinary person, Yao Chen felt an overwhelming fear of Jiang Chen.

Even though Yao Chen hated Jiang Chen for hurting her grandson, she still couldn't control her fear.

Jiang Chen felt extremely satisfied as he devoured Yao Chen's martial spirit and soul power.

The energy generated by the martial soul and soul power of a level 68 Soul Emperor is at least equivalent to that of a 20,000-year-old Soul Beast.

If Yao Chen's martial spirit were one or two levels higher, it would bring even more energy.

After finishing devouring, Jiang Chen glanced at Yao Chen, who was lying on the ground, instilling fear in him.

They left satisfied.

Yao Chen was taken aback as she watched Jiang Chen leave.

He survived?

This soul beast didn't kill him?

Yao Chen, who thought she was going to die, never expected to survive.

But Yao Chen quickly realized what was happening, and despite the pain in her hand, she ran towards Yao Yi.

"Little Yao, Little Yao, how are you?"

She rushed to Yao Yi's side and used her only remaining hand to hold Yao Yi, who was lying on the ground, in her arms.

Holding Yao Chen, Yao Yi weakly replied, "Grandpa, I've become an ordinary person. I've lost my martial spirit and soul power."

As she spoke, Yao Yi shed tears of anguish.

"It's alright, it's good that you're alive, it's good that you're alive. Grandpa will take you away from here."

Yao Chen then endured the pain in her arm and helped Yao Yi up, walking towards the outside of the Soul Hunter Forest.

Yao Yi was barely able to leave the place with his grandfather's help.

Neither of them discussed Jiang Chen; clearly, now that they were ordinary people, Jiang Chen was a taboo subject to them.

As Yao Chen and her grandson walked out of the Soul Hunting Forest, Jiang Chen continued to devour the soul beasts in the forest.

"A rabbit spirit beast? Eat it! Eat it!!"

"An unknown tiger-type spirit beast? Eat it! Eat it!!"

"Huh? It's actually a plant-type spirit beast! No problem! I'll eat it all the same!!"

"Two spirit beasts are fighting! This is too dangerous! Quickly, come into my belly and eat me up!!"

And so, Jiang Chen ate every soul beast he saw, just like at a buffet, eating his way along the way, thoroughly enjoying himself.

Along with the soul beasts Jiang Chen consumed, and the martial soul and soul power he had previously devoured from Yao Chen.

The constant fear instilled in him by the Soul Masters Jiang Chen had spared allowed him to reach another stage of growth.

As Jiang Chen grew more and more, his growth rate also increased.

Now, growth is achieved without stopping one's body from running.
