As Falling Devil Douluo and Fifteen Ton Douluo self-destructed, two massive craters appeared on the battlefield. Countless soul beasts were caught in the blast, and even the Gale Demon Wolf and the Demon-Eyed Devil Tree—both of which were fierce beasts—were severely injured. Only Titled Douluo of Falling Devil and Fifteen Ton's caliber could suppress them.
Tang San, however, due to his superior strength and being farther away from Falling Devil and Fifteen Ton, managed to react quickly and avoid their self-destruction in time. This was also one of the reasons why Falling Devil and Fifteen Ton didn't attempt to drag Tang San down with them when they exploded.
The numerous Titled Douluo of the Spirit Hall were now filled with extreme hatred, fighting like madmen. Those who had just returned to reinforce the battlefield appeared especially ruthless.
Yet, even though the two had self-destructed, Tang San let out a wild laugh. "Falling Devil, Fifteen Ton, even if you both blew yourselves up, I will still make sure you vanish without a trace!"
As soon as his words fell, countless dark Blue Silver Grass spread across the battlefield, covering the area where the two had self-destructed, seemingly attempting to absorb energy from the air. Even the remaining fragments of their corpses and residual blood were swiftly absorbed by Tang San until not a single trace of them remained, as if they had never existed at all.
At this moment, Tang San seemed to have fallen into a frenzy. As a vast amount of energy entered his body, his eyes turned completely red, and his facial features began to distort slightly. But the exhilarating pleasure of growing stronger through energy absorption made it impossible for him to stop.
Because Falling Devil and FifteenTon Douluo had self-destructed, the energy Tang San absorbed was relatively less. However, he had already completely lost himself in the slaughter.
The dark Blue Silver Grass rapidly extended toward the severely wounded Gale Demon Wolf and Demon-Eyed Devil Tree. In just an instant, both of the fierce beasts were completely wrapped up by the countless vines.
Nearby, Xiong Jun roared, "Tang San, what are you trying to do? These two are also part of my soul beast clan!"
Tang San let out a cold laugh. "They're already crippled. Instead of letting them slowly wait for death, why not use their bodies to strengthen me? This way, our power will greatly increase."
As he finished speaking, the dark Blue Silver Grass emanated an infinite aura of slaughter, along with boundless evil energy, quickly strangling the two fierce beasts. Like venomous snakes, the vines tore through their bodies and rapidly absorbed their energy.
The two soul beasts, already gravely injured, were now completely powerless against Tang San.
Even though they let out cries for help, neither Xiong Jun nor the distant Di Tian intervened, seemingly accepting Tang San's actions.
Thus, the agonized screams of the two soul beasts gradually weakened until they were reduced to nothingness, not even leaving behind bones.
With their deaths, two blood-red soul rings emerged, along with two torso soul bones. The sheer pressure they exuded was overwhelming for both humans and soul beasts alike. Many present had never seen fierce beast soul rings before.
Initially, everyone thought Tang San would absorb the soul rings and soul bones of these two soul beasts. However, to their surprise, the endless dark Blue Silver Grass formed a massive sphere, completely wrapping around the soul rings and soul bones. Under the influence of a sinister energy, the power within the soul rings and soul bones began to seep into Tang San's body through the vines.
Regardless of who was watching—even Qian Daoliu and Di Tian—they were visibly astonished. Normally, soul masters could absorb soul rings and soul bones, but soul rings could only be absorbed into the missing slots of a martial soul, while soul bones could only be fused into the corresponding body part. No one had ever thought to absorb a soul ring's energy directly through an external martial soul medium.
As Tang San absorbed an immense amount of energy, the fierce beast soul rings and soul bones gradually dimmed, their once-intimidating blood-red glow fading.
Meanwhile, Tang San's own aura surged dramatically. With a thunderous roar, his body seemed to break past a limit, reaching a height that many could only dream of.
Qian Daoliu swallowed hard, his voice trembling slightly. "Limit Douluo… I never expected that Tang San could break through to Rank 99 using Drak Blue Silver Grass to absorb energy… How is this possible?"
Across from him, Di Tian let out a wild laugh. "Tang San, I knew I wasn't wrong about you! You truly are the child of destiny in this world!"
Qian Daoliu's expression was filled with rage. "Di Tian, what do you mean by that? You're just going to stand by and watch your own clan members get slaughtered?"
Di Tian snorted coldly. "Our soul beast clan is about to rise. Whether it's the Divine Realm or the human world, soul beasts will eventually rule all of existence."
"Qian Daoliu, aren't you supposed to be the great priest of the Angel God? Yet you're so short-sighted that you can't even see the divine power within Tang San!"
Qian Daoliu's face paled. "That's impossible! How can divine energy be so evil?"
Di Tian laughed mockingly. "So-called divine priests like you are nothing but frogs at the bottom of a well. The power within Tang San is indeed divine, but it's one of the strongest forces in this world—one that surpasses even your so-called Angel God's power and transcends the rules of the Douluo Star."
Now that Tang San had broken through to Rank 99, his strength had soared. The soul beast side had gained a Limit Douluo, and the gap between the two factions was growing more and more apparent.
Even though the Spirit Empire had newly added five Titled Douluo, nearly every single one of their top-level forces was already on the battlefield. Except for Qian Renxue and Bibi Dong, who were still in seclusion, they had deployed all their high-end power.
However, the Spirit Empire had already lost four Titled Douluo, while the soul beast clan had lost two fierce beasts—all of whom had died at Tang San's hands.
At this moment, a shrill, agonized roar echoed across the battlefield. A massive Twin-Headed Profound Water Serpent let out a final cry before slowly collapsing to the ground, leaving behind a single blood-red soul ring.
This Twin-Headed Profound Water Serpent was also a hundred-thousand-year-old soul beast from the Star Dou Forest. It was a top-tier water-attribute beast with immense strength. However, due to its inherently lazy nature and long periods of hibernation, it was not well-known.
This time, it had awakened in response to Di Tian's summons and had served as one of the vanguard forces for the soul beast clan, using its massive tail to slay countless humans.
Initially, Chrysanthemum Douluo had been the one fighting it and keeping it occupied.
But in the crucial moment, Ghost Douluo abandoned his opponent to Hu Lian Zhen, transforming into a shadow and flying to assist. The two worked together seamlessly, unleashing their Martial Soul Fusion Skill—Dual Polar Extreme Domain.
At the same time, Glowing feather Douluo launched a barrage of ice arrows, and numerous Soul Douluo unleashed their most powerful soul skills.
In the end, they managed to kill the Twin-Headed Profound Water Serpent.
Its death was gruesome. Though its body was as hard as armor, it was covered in countless chrysanthemum petals, its heads impaled with ice arrows, and its body riddled with wounds from the Soul Douluo's attacks. Even its tail had been partially severed by the Chrysanthemum Blade.
This marked the first hundred-thousand-year soul beast killed by the Spirit Empire using impeccable teamwork and the power of a Martial Soul Fusion Skill.
