Douluo: Legend of the Holy Land

Chapter 299 The Ancestor of Evil Soul Masters

Upon recognizing the person, Tang San breathed a sigh of relief, then his vision went black and he fainted.

"How dare you harm the successor chosen by the Sea God! You three beasts deserve to die!"

Poseidon tapped the ground lightly with her scepter, producing a crisp sound. A layer of blue energy surged out from her, and the terrifying soul power instantly suppressed the three mighty ant queens, preventing them from raising their heads.

"Hmm? The aura of the sea god, but it's so faint. What's going on?"

Deep within the Lake of Life, the Silver Dragon King, who was recuperating from his injuries, seemed to sense something. He suddenly opened his dragon eyes and unhesitatingly released his spiritual power to investigate.

The next moment, the scene around the Lake of Life came into view.

"So it was the successor of the Sea God and the High Priest. With their current strength, they couldn't possibly detect me!"

The Silver Dragon King immediately withdrew his spiritual power and continued to sleep.

After an unknown amount of time, Tang San finally woke up. As soon as he opened his eyes, he saw Poseidon guarding him, as well as the three brothers of the Thousand-Pound Ant King, who had been beaten to the brink of death by Poseidon.

"Tang San, are you awake?"

With her spiritual power, Poseidon immediately noticed Tang San's awakening and came to his side, whispering, "Tang San, how are you feeling?"

Tang San struggled to his feet, cupped his hands in thanks to Poseidon, and said, "I'm alright, thank you for saving my life, High Priest!"

"No need to be polite, saving you is the will of the Sea God!"

Poseidon waved his hand, turned to look at the three Thousand-Pound Ant King brothers who were barely clinging to life, and asked, "What do you plan to do with these three soul beasts?"

Having reached Poseidon's position, she naturally understood the vital relationship between soul beasts and soul masters. Indiscriminate killing would ultimately lead to a situation where no soul master on the entire continent could obtain a soul ring, and everyone would be stuck at level ten.

If she could, she wouldn't want to kill these three super-powerful soul beasts that were just one step away from breaking through to 100,000 years old. After all, these were the ninth soul rings of three Title Douluo. If she and Tang San killed them now, none of them would be able to absorb them. Wouldn't that be a waste of resources?

Looking at the three mighty ant queens, Tang San's eyes were filled with boundless killing intent: "They harmed Xiao Wu and encroached on Xiao Wu's territory; they must die!"

Despite his injuries, Tang San staggered toward the three brothers, the Thousand-Pound Ant King, releasing his Eight Spider Soul Bones in an instant.

Sensing the impending death, the three Thousand-Pound Ant King brothers began to struggle violently, but their injuries were too severe, and even standing up was now a problem.

With a "plop," the sharp eight spider spears pierced the body of the first Thousand-Pound Ant Queen.

The terrifying toxins attached to the eight spider spears were injected into the body of the Thousand-Pound Ant King through the spear tips. The intense toxins immediately caused the Thousand-Pound Ant King to struggle painfully and let out a series of mournful howls.

However, Tang San did not soften his heart in the slightest. While injecting the Eight Spider Soul Bone's deadly poison, he also activated the Eight Spider Soul Bone's unique soul bone skill, Devour.

The deadly poison was continuously injected into the body of the Thousand-Pound Ant King, while the immense energy within the Thousand-Pound Ant King was continuously poured into Tang San's body through the Eight Spider Lances. Its body gradually withered, and even its incredibly hard carapace gradually softened.

"This is... devouring life force!"

Poseidon's pupils dilated suddenly. Wasn't this an ability only Fallen Soul Masters possessed?

How could the Sea God choose such an evil soul master as his successor to the divine throne!

Although Tang San is currently only absorbing the life force of soul beasts, if he can absorb the life force of soul beasts, then he can certainly absorb the life force of humans as well.

Poseidon's soul power circulated rapidly. Faced with an evil soul master, any soul master with even a little bit of a sense of justice would only have one choice: to kill!

At the very least, his soul power should be abolished so that he cannot harm the continent.

The Sea God must not have known that Tang San possessed the abilities of an evil soul master. He valued Tang San's talent, which is why he chose him as his successor. If the Sea God had known that Tang San had such evil abilities, he would have definitely stripped him of his divine position as the successor.

Just as Poseidon was thinking this and preparing to act, a warning from the sea god suddenly rang in his mind. The terrifying divine thought was like a violent gale, causing Poseidon's spiritual sea to fluctuate violently.

Lord Poseidon!

Poseidon's eyes widened in disbelief. Could it be that the Sea God knew Tang San possessed the abilities of an evil soul master, yet still chose him as his successor?

Does the Sea God not know how much harm evil soul masters can cause to the soul master world?

In an instant, Poseidon felt a tiny crack appear in the sacred temple in her heart.

However, it was just a crack. Poseidon had been a believer in the sea god for over a hundred years, and this little thing was not enough to completely destroy her faith. Otherwise, Tang Shenwang would probably not have escaped this calamity today.

After all, the sea god cannot descend to the mortal realm in his true form. If Poseidon were to truly harbor murderous intent, a single divine thought, especially on the land where the sea god's faith is scarce, would be utterly incapable of stopping Poseidon, who possesses near-demigod cultivation. At most, it would mean that Poseidon would never be able to return to the sea god's island again.

Unaware that he had just escaped a calamity, Tang Shenwang was happily walking towards the second Thousand-Pound Ant King. The absorption of the Eight Spider Soul Bone had given him an experience he had never had before. The scorching energy entered his body through his back, giving him a feeling of complete comfort. All the pores on his body opened up at this moment, and he was pleasantly surprised to find that his soul power had actually increased by more than one level.

"I never imagined the Eight Spider Soul Bones could have such a use!"

This discovery immediately filled Tang San with joy, but at the same time, he was also somewhat annoyed. If he had discovered the wonderful use of the Eight Spider Soul Bone earlier, then Shrek Academy wouldn't have lost so miserably during the Advanced Soul Master Elite Competition, being crushed and utterly defeated by the two Soul Emperors, Xiao Yu and Qian Renxue.

And then there's Xiao Wu. If he had discovered the function of the Eight Spider Soul Bone earlier, he could have come to the Star Dou Great Forest to take Xiao Wu away sooner. In that case, Xiao Wu might not have died in the battle between soul beasts fighting for territory.

Nine Stars Palace!

Thinking of Xiao Wu, Tang San's killing intent instantly intensified.

If it weren't for the Nine Star Palace, Xiao Wu wouldn't have had her identity exposed, wouldn't have been forced to leave and return to the Star Dou Great Forest, and wouldn't have lost her life at the hands of those three Thousand-Pound Ant Kings.

Therefore, tracing back to the source, the Nine Star Palace was the real culprit that killed Xiao Wu!

Xiao Yu, you can be as smug as you want now. Sooner or later, I will slaughter you all in the Nine Star Palace and avenge my Xiao Wu!

With such hatred in his heart, Tang San used the same method to drain the other two Thousand-Pound Ant Kings into dried corpses.

The progenitor of all evil spirit masters, Tang Shenwang, was born!
