Chapter 256: Six Reds and One Platinum! The Mad Tang San?
Seeing Xiong Jun beaten so badly, his body covered in blood and embedded in the mountain wall, a trace of pity flashed in Xiao Ruier's eyes.
Immediately, she transformed into human form, ignoring the wound on her back, and hurriedly pleaded for Xiong Jun,
"Uncle Di Tian, please calm down! Uncle Xiong Jun... Uncle Xiong Jun really didn't mean to hurt me! He just saw that Ice Silkworm suddenly sacrifice itself and acted rashly."
"Uncle Xiong Jun absolutely didn't mean to hurt me. Just now, he even pulled back his claw at the last moment. Please forgive him this time!"
At the same time, the Emerald Swan, Bi Ji, immediately stepped forward, slowly opening her palm. Gentle yet powerful life force, like sweet rain, sprinkled onto Xiao Ruier's back.
Instantly, the hideous wound healed rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye, and in the blink of an eye, it was completely restored, without even a scar.
Receiving Bi Ji's healing, Xiao Ruier breathed a sigh of relief. She then began explaining what had just happened to Di Tian and the other ferocious beasts.
She described bringing Tang Chuan here as accidental, and portrayed the sacrifice of the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm as a completely autonomous, even somewhat abrupt, act.
"Uncle Di Tian, uncles, this is what happened. I just brought Tang Chuan here to take a look, but I didn't expect that the Ice Silkworm in the cave, upon seeing Tang Chuan, for some reason, just... just suddenly offered itself to him!"
"The whole process was very fast; we didn't even have time to react."
At this moment, Xiao Ruier's tone was perfectly timed with surprise and innocence, making no mention that she had revealed the location or that Tang Chuan had asked her to bring him here.
She continued to speak well of Tang Chuan, her protective intent quite obvious.
"Tang Chuan was unconscious the whole time; he was completely passive!"
"Moreover, he was so badly injured during the Spirit Hall's attack while protecting me; he almost... he absolutely did not intend to seize the forest resources!"
These words carried a strong sense of siding with outsiders.
Finally, a genuine worry appeared on Xiao Ruier's beautiful face as she looked at Tang Chuan, who was still unconscious on the ground. She said anxiously to Di Tian,
"Uncle Di Tian, that Ice Silkworm's cultivation is close to a million years, and its energy is so vast. It suddenly surged into Tang Chuan's body like that... will he be able to withstand it? His body has only just recovered somewhat, and I'm very worried about him... Please, please check on him quickly!"
Hearing this, Di Tian's brows furrowed slightly.
Although the Ice Silkworm's energy was volatile, its total amount was indeed vast as the sea. Even with its voluntary sacrifice, the possibility of a level 70 human Soul Master's body being able to withstand it was very small.
Thinking of this, he ignored Xiong Jun, who was groaning embedded in the mountain wall, and with a flash, appeared before Tang Chuan as if by teleportation.
Kneeling down, Di Tian gently placed his palm on Tang Chuan's chest, closed his eyes, and a pure and gentle soul force slowly probed out, beginning to carefully examine the latter's current condition.
…
Unbeknownst to the ferocious beasts, at this moment, within Tang Chuan's spiritual sea,
nine platinum orbs were slowly rotating, their vast spiritual power resembling a warm ocean.
The smug yet somewhat garrulous voice of Tianmeng Ice Silkworm echoed throughout the space, explaining in detail to Tang Chuan his unprecedented seventh spirit ring:
"Listen, Tang Chuan, we're in this together now!"
"Therefore, all my help to you must prioritize your safety." Tianmeng Ice Silkworm's tone became unusually serious as he said, "I have no way out now. If you die, it means I'm finished too, completely annihilated!"
"So, what I'm integrating into your body is more of my original power and spiritual power, rather than forcefully stuffing nearly a million years' worth of spirit power into you all at once. That would only overwhelm you."
"In other words, although your seventh spirit ring is at the million-year level, it doesn't yet possess the power of a million-year spirit ring. It's more like... a super spirit ring that can grow, possessing unlimited potential!"
Tang Chuan understood this perfectly well; it largely matched the original setting he knew. However, he still blinked, feigning confusion, and said, "I still don't quite understand."
"Idiot!" Tianmeng Ice Silkworm snorted irritably and continued:
"Let me put it simply!"
"Your current physical strength can only stably withstand spirit rings of around 100,000 years. So, the actual power your seventh spirit ring currently displays is at the 100,000-year level."
"However! When your strength breaks through again in the future, and your body can withstand spirit rings from 200,000-year spirit beasts, a portion of the power of your seventh spirit ring will automatically be unsealed, evolving to the 200,000-year level! It continuously improves and evolves along with your body's tolerance!"
"Not only that!" Tianmeng Ice Silkworm threw out an even more astonishing piece of information, saying:
"The primordial power I've accumulated over millions of years can even nourish and enhance the spirit rings you've acquired before! Letting them evolve along with you!"
However, it immediately added, its tone somewhat calculating.
"Of course, the evolutionary power I've given you isn't unlimited."
"The stronger the foundation of the other spirit rings you've acquired before, the less power I'll need to consume to evolve them. Considering the vast energy I've sealed within you... at most, it can support you having ten spirit rings all at the 100,000-year level!"
"But seriously, your physique is really impressive!"
"Your original spirit ring configuration was two purple, three black, and one red, which was already quite frightening. But now, with me..."
Tianmeng Ice Silkworm's voice was full of boasting.
"Hehe, your current spirit ring configuration should be six red and one platinum!"
It imagined the scene and laughed to itself.
"Wahahaha! Six hundred-thousand-year spirit rings, plus a platinum spirit ring representing a million years! Tang Chuan, just imagine, when you show off these spirit rings, I wonder how many people in the entire Douluo Continent will be scared to death!"
"I dare say, this is absolutely unprecedented and will never be repeated! Hahahaha!"
...
Meanwhile, in the Slaughter City, in the Hell Slaughter Arena.
On the dark red arena, the stench of blood was so thick it was nauseating.
Nine corpses of various shapes lay on the ground, their lives already ended.
Standing in the center of the pile of corpses was Tang San, his eyes sinister, his body shrouded in an aura of blood and resentment.
In this life, his Blue Silver Grass had mutated into Dark Blue Silver Grass, possessing the ability to devour.
At this moment, the Blue Silver Grass greedily absorbed the corpses, and visible crimson energy flowed continuously into Tang San's body through the grass leaves.
With this devouring ability, in this city where one could plunder the power of others simply by killing, Tang San's strength increased at a terrifying speed.
After absorbing the last trace of energy, he slowly opened his eyes, feeling the surging soul power within his body, a cruel smile curving his lips.
Level 60!
His soul power level had already broken through the threshold of level 60!
He only needed one more soul ring to officially become a Soul Emperor.
Judging from Tang San's current terrifying progress in cultivation through devouring, within half a year, his soul power level might even reach level 70, reaching the Soul Saint realm!
This cultivation speed was simply a pipe dream for ordinary soul masters.
But in the City of Slaughter, a paradise for evil soul masters, it had become possible. Here, killing and devouring were the fastest cultivation paths for evil soul masters.
A few minutes later, Tang San, stepping through the blood-soaked ground, slowly walked out of the Hellish Slaughter Arena.
The murky light from outside illuminated his pale and gloomy face.
Slowly raising his head, Tang San gazed at the sky above the Slaughter City, forever shrouded in a dark red mist, as if he could pierce through this barrier and see the outside world.
The next moment, he let out a hoarse, hate-filled laugh, saying,
"Brother! My good brother! You just wait!"
"The day I leave the Slaughter City will be the day that everyone from your Heavenly Path Academy is buried with Xiao Wu! I will also let you taste the bitterness of losing a loved one."
He seemed to already see himself returning invincible, crushing Heavenly Path Academy, his eyes flashing with a blood-red light.
"A Soul Saint around fifteen years old! Hahaha!"
"I think, the moment I step out, my name, Tang San, will shake the entire continent! All those who oppose me will tremble at my feet!"
"Give me two more years, and I will definitely break through to the Title Douluo realm."
