Douluo Dalu 2 – The Unrivaled Tang-Clan Chapter 141

Published at 11th of October 2023 11:28:57 AM

Xiao Xiao's pain lessened as the power from the soul bone was being siphoned to Huo Yuhao. Her swollen right arm started going back to normal again as well. While she was in such miserable pain that she couldn't speak, she was able to hear the conversation between Elder Xuan and Huo Yuhao. Xiao Xiao wasn't simply grateful when she saw the resolute look on Huo Yuhao's face.

The Darkgolden Terrorclaw's power wasn't under the fire element, instead it was of the metal element. It was a tyrannical power that demonstrated the sharpness of the metal element to the point.

Huo Yuhao could even hear the sonorous sound when the Darkgolden Terrorclaw's strength clashed with the Ice Empress' Pincer's power..

Eventually, all of the Darkgolden Terrorclaw's strength had been siphoned to Huo Yuhao's right palm. At which point Xiao Xiao groaned slightly before collapsing in Elder Xuan's arms, unconscious.

Wang Dong was unable to stop Huo Yuhao before, but he knew what to do now and reacted with haste—receiving Xiao Xiao from Elder Xuan so that he could help Huo Yuhao without complication.

Elder Xuan stood over Huo Yuhao, watching him anxiously. He was well aware of what was going on, thus he couldn't act recklessly here. As long as Huo Yuhao could suppress that soul bone's power in his palm, then he must allow him to absorb it. Elder Xuan wasn't nervous because of how precious the soul bone was—it was because he wanted to preserve Huo Yuhao's right arm!

The drained Darkgolden Terrorclaw's energy had all entered Huo Yuhao's right palm. Huo Yuhao could sense that the Mysterious Jade Hands and his Ice Empress' Pincer were being a little overwhelmed by the invading energies.

With his soul skill active he couldn't absorb the soul bone. However, if he withdrew the Ice Empress' Pincer he would have to bear with the intense pain relying on sheer willpower and his body's tough physique.

When he thought about it. Huo Yuhao wanted to laugh. He wondered if soul bones were his arch-nemesis. Whether it was the Ice Jade Empress' Torso Bone, the Ice Jade Scorpion Left Arm Bone, or the Darkgolden Terrorclaw's Right Palm Bone he was absorbing right now, they all gave him immense difficulties when trying to fuse with them. While the current situation isn't nearly as potentially fatal or painful as Ice Jade Empress' Torso bone had been, it would still be painful.

Huo Yuhao's choice was to face this ordeal bravely. However, one cannot simply always face their obstacles head-on, even if they're willing to. If one didn't collapse amidst the repression, they would be burnt amidst the suppression.

He took in a slow, deep breath, and the Mysterious Jade Hand's made one more full body circulation of soul power. Huo Yuhao slowly closed his eyes, and in the next instant—the bright radiance disappeared. Leaving behind an intense dark gold glow.

Wang Dong lifted a hand to cover his mouth in, stopping himself from shouting in surprise. Elder Xuan's body twitched. Aside from the unconcealed shock in his eyes there was a faint hint of awe.

Resilient and courageous! Only Huo Yuhao could make such a critical decision!

The excruciating pain led Huo Yuhao to believe that the Darkgolden Terrorclaw had torn his palm bone asunder! The maniacal will of the Darkgolden Terrorclaw started rising up, prepared to rush into the rest of his arm.

If that happened he would end up just like Xiao Xiao had, as the Darkgolden Terroclaw's strength would run rampant in his body.

Huo Yuhao made the correct decision; disregarding the pain in his right palm with his resilient will, as if his right palm didn't belong to him. His immense spiritual power attacked the maniacal will. Simultaneously, his forehead lit up with a blinding turquoise light.

Huo Yuhao's eyes shot wide open, an intense aura of light exuding from them. His third eye also started to crack open, and a streak of azure-green light flashed from his eyes as a bolt of electricity came out of the Life Gold before piercing his right wrist.

The azure-green light spread, and the aura within helped to seal the Darkgolden Terrorclaw's power within the confines of his right hand.

This is…

Elder Xuan was shocked. He could distinguish that the azure-green light was a carving knife, but what was this third eye doing on Huo Yuhao?!

At this moment, there was only one possibility that he thought of—the second awakening of one's Body Soul!

The azure-green light didn't just appear on his right hand. Huo Yuhao's Life Gold slowly displayed its strength, releasing an aura of light all over his body. This aura's appearance left both Wang Dong and Elder Xuan relieved.

This was Huo Yuhao's second trump card. Although offering to save Xiao Xiao was a little reckless, he was still very confident in his own body. The Ice Empress' Pincer actively prevented the Darkgolden Terrorclaw's power from running rampant. Then he used the Life Guardian's blade and life power to suppress the power further. While this move also increased his body's overall resistance. With all these actions being put into play, Huo Yuhao could only resign himself to defeat if he still couldn't absorb this Darkgolden Terrorclaw Right Palm Bone.

The Life Gold's power was proven once again. That bountiful life force seemed to sense the mayhem in his hand and advanced towards it.

Long ago, The Calamity Necromancer Electrolux, spoke to Huo Yuhao of the Life Gold's greatness. As of right now, Huo Yuhao could clearly sense that greatness.

The Darkgolden Terrorclaw and Life Gold's energies seemed to cause a continuing cycle of destruction and construction within Huo Yuhao's palm, while the destruction was going at a furious rate, it was no match for the restorative powers from the Life Gold. Meaning the condition of Huo Yuhao's right palm had stabilized.

Although stable, it still brought about untold amounts of pain. This was Huo Yuhao's first time feeling such pain.

The Darkgolden Terrorclaw's destructive energies brought him great pain, while the Life Gold's restorative properties caused him to feel a great numbness. The contrasting feelings made Huo Yuhao undergo a whole new kind of torture! Even though he had once experienced the immense pain from the Ice Jade Empress' Torso bone, Huo Yuhao still found himself sweating buckets! Bead after bead of sweat rolled down his forehead, his shirt becoming drenched very quickly, and his body starting to give off a faint mist.

Wang Dong had never seen Huo Yuhao in such unbearable pain before. Which left him shocked and speechless at the current scene.

His cultivation and physique weren't that different from that of Huo Yuhao and Xiao Xiao's. Wang Dong had seen how Xiao Xiao ended up after attempting to fuse with the soul bone. After a short and fleeting resistance—Xiao Xiao gave up. Showing just how unbearable this pain, really was.

Huo Yuhao was possibly bearing even more pain than Xiao Xiao had! As Huo Yuhao's fusion partner, Wang Dong could get a feel for his current condition. The slight sensations he could feel through their spiritual connection caused Wang Dong to shiver internally as Huo Yuhao bore the astonishing pain.

With this, Wang Dong finally realized how strong Huo Yuhao was mentally. Even as his body gave off the occasional twitch, Huo Yuhao sat very stably. His facial expressions remained entirely the same, his brows never even furrowed once. While the beads of perspiration rolled down his face, intermittent subtle crackling sounds came from his right palm. Wang Dong couldn't bear to watch anymore!

He wasn't alone in his shock either. Elder Xuan had cultivated for hundreds of years, and had seen the bearings of many soul masters. While he could tell that Huo Yuhao was using that magical carving knife to suppress the Darkgolden Terrorclaw's power, he was positive that Huo Yuhao had to endure greater pains himself. Relying solely on his resilient willpower and mind to bear with the pain. Could this be done by a 12-year-old-kid? Just how many trials had he faced to come out with such a terrifying will?

Huo Yuhao didn't know what Wang Dong and Elder Xuan were thinking, but he could feel that he was getting more accustomed to the pain. After all, it was focused in his right palm. When he had fused with the Ice Jade Empress Scorpion Torso bone before, the intense pain had spread over his entire body!

He could now start to sense what has been happening in his right palm. He discovered that his whole right hand was undergoing a special transformation. The bones that had felt crushed and destroyed, weren't crushed at all—countless fine cracks had appeared all over their surface. The Darkgolden Terrorclaw Right Palm Bone was fusing into his right hand through these small cracks. His bones were being destroyed under the pressure from the maniacal will, and restored by the overflowing life power. While the destruction wasn't as intense, the pain was. Huo Yuhao's right palm bone began to change as the Darkgolden Terrorclaw's power merged with it.

Huo Yuhao's bones had a layer of greenish-gold after they were nourished by the Life Gold. It demonstrated the presence of immense life power. But his right palm bone had turned a dark gold hue, similar to that of boundless space!

His bones slightly increased in size, but this wasn't readily apparent. His finger bones grew like a knife, narrowing at the top and widening at the bottom. Even the flesh surrounding his bones transformed. The extreme powers caused his bones to shrink, letting them fit into their new forms. Huo Yuhao also started noticing weird patterns emerging from the bones of his palm.

Cloud-like patterns appeared on the outer bones in his right hand, while triangular patterns showed up on the inner palm bones. These patterns overlapped meticulously and seemed to contain great strength. An immense power followed the great pains in Huo Yuhao's palm and gradually fused with his mind.

Time passed slowly, and an entire night had gone by unknowingly, with the bright sunlight coming out. Huo Yuhao was sweating less and less, mist no longer rising from his skin.

“Whoosh—” The Life Guardian's blade jumped out of Huo Yuhao's palm and disappear in a flash of azure-green light into Huo Yuhao's forehead. Instantly healing the wounds from its entry and exit.

After which Huo Yuhao let out a deep roar and lifted his right arm. A “pfft” sound was heard, and bloody lights shot out from his fingers.

Wang Dong started towards Huo Yuhao in concern, thinking that his palm couldn't bear it and exploded. But he was immediately stopped by a powerful force, and Elder Xuan looking at him with a stern expression whilst shaking his head.

Presently, five streaks of dark golden light—about fourteen inches in length—had shot out from each of Huo Yuhao's fingers. They were wider at the fingertips and narrower at the end. When they appeared, a slight whirring sound was heard, and the dark golden lights undulated like rippling water. Huo Yuhao's right hand had completely turned dark gold, the five blades of light seeming to be an extension of his fingers. Leaving no scars as it came out from his fingers.

The dark golden light started surging from his right palm. Extending up his arm and to the rest of his body. Seemingly baptizing Huo Yuhao in a layer of dark golden light. His Spirit Eyes also shot open with a golden flash of color before returning to normal.

Huo Yuhao's body twitched while he let out a deep breath. Elder Xuan supported him quickly to keep him from falling, but he also subconsciously used his right palm to stabilize himself. His Darkgolden Terrorclaw silently pierced into the ground.

Huo Yuhao seemed to figure something out. He pulled his Darkgolden Terrorclaw out from the earth and stared at his dark gold palm. His mind wandered, and his claws disappeared. Everything returned to normal, including the color of his palm.

Huo Yuhao heaved a sigh of relief.

“Yuhao, how are you?”

A concerned Wang Dong and an awoken Xiao Xiao sprung to his side. Xiao Xiao was very grateful to him on top of being concerned.

Huo Yuhao forced a smile and said to Xiao Xiao, “I stole your soul bone.”

Xiao Xiao sobbed as she said, “Class Monitor, how can you put it like this? If not for you, my arm would've already been…”

Huo Yuhao laughed and replied, “Don't worry, I won't have you pledge your body to me.”

Elder Xuan was also relieved, “It's completely fused, thank goodness it all worked out alright. I suspect that, without the life energy contained within that magical carving knife, Huo Yuhao couldn't have pulled this off even if he had six soul rings. Perhaps only a seven ringed soul sage or higher could've enhanced their body enough with their Martial Soul True Body to absorb this soul bone. I must say, Huo Yuhao, you're the first youngster I've come to admire.”

Huo Yuhao laughed bitterly, “Elder Xuan, shall we rest for the day?” Upon finishing his statement, he collapsed into Wang Dong arms long before Elder Xuan could reply.

The three had benefited greatly from the last 24 hours. However, it was also mentally trying and left them exhausted. Elder Xuan had likewise been on edge the entire time he was following them. Primarily due to things spiraling out of his control.

However, the end result was fantastic for the trio. Xiao Xiao got her third soul ring, while Huo Yuhao got his third soul bone. It was even an exceedingly rare Darkgolden Terrorclaw Right Palm Bone, an external soul bone even.

……

The Sun Moon Empire's capital, Radiant City. The Sun Moon Imperial Soul Engineering Academy, Illustrious Virtue Hall.

“Are you sure?” Asked a person wearing a long, black robe, standing quietly in front of the Hallmaster of the Virtuous Hall, Jing Hongchen. It was apparent that he was a tall and burly man from his rough voice and build. However, his long, black robe and huge hat disguised his true appearance.

“I'm certain. I just came back from Shrek Academy. I'm sure you're interested in the Dark Phoenix.”

“What do you want from telling me all this? Besides, it's not easy to enter Shrek Academy.” The man in the black robe said in a deep voice.

Jing Hongchen smiled, his chubby face compressing as he said, “I know what you're worried about. Shrek Academy is far more dangerous than we gave them credit for. With that Elder Mu holding down the fort, any tomfoolery on their campus grounds is just assured death. But what if we lured the powerhouses out from Shrek Academy?

The man wearing a black robe's interest was piqued. “Tell me more.”

Jing Hongchen squinted, and a streak of sharp light flashed across his eyes. He spoke for almost 15 minutes. The man in the black robe nodded his head repeatedly, as if he fully agreed with his words.

“If this is the case, our chances are good. As the Dark Phoenix descends, the Sacred Lady will assume her position yet again. We must be ready to receive the Sacred Lady, but when all this is over, we'll reward you handsomely.” The man in the black robe sounded excited, hysterical even.

……

Heaven Dou Empire's capital, Heaven Dou City.

A petite and lonesome figure walked the streets. It was Tang Ya, it had been almost a month since she returned to Heaven Dou City. Her face no longer bore a smile, instead showing an unhealthy pallor, even more delicate in appearance than before.

Heaven Dou City was where she was born and raised. Five years ago, a sect that didn't even have worldly renown had taken everything from her. The Tang Sect had collapsed after years of decay, and was wiped out. Her parents as well…

Tang Ya started to tear up when she thought of it.

“Mom, dad, I will help the Tang Sect regain its glory no matter the price I have to pay.” Tang Yan clenched her fists tightly.

She didn't wait till Huo Yuhao, Wang Dong and Xiao Xiao ended their secluded cultivations, and she left Shrek Academy even with Bei Bei's objections.

She returned to Heaven Dou City after leaving the academy and bought a small house with the savings she shared with Bei Bei.

Tang Ya's original plan was to find her footing in Heaven Dou City before re-establishing the Tang Sect and recruiting disciples. She wanted to lay down the foundation before Bei Bei and the rest came to Heaven Dou City. They would join her in reclaiming the Tang Sect's former glory after they graduated.

However, she now realized why Bei Bei had tried to dissuade her from being impatient in returning to Heaven Dou City. Everything was not as simple as she had imagined.

She hadn't returned with insufficient money, not after calculating the costs of re-establishing the Tang Sect. Tang Ya was faced with an important problem: The sect wouldn't have any income, not for a long time at least. But she couldn't go back to Bei Bei for the money! The money that Bei Bei had already provided her with came from his family, and her pride wouldn't allow her to ask for more.

Then there was the issue with connections. She was 10 years old when she left, and now 15 years old upon her return. How many contacts could a 15-year-old-girl have without any family have in such a large city?

Tang Ya did attempt to seek out the old acquaintances of the Tang Sect, her parents' friends. But they treated her like the plague and wanted nothing to do with her. Furthermore, when the sect that destroyed the Tang Sect discovered her, she was even further oppressed and discriminated against. Even when buying the bare necessities on the streets, she would find merchants that only raised their prices for her.

Over the last month, Tang Ya experienced true desolation, true isolation. The burning, primal fury that she had suppressed in her heart started to leak out. Rebuilding the Tang Sect was too much; her thin shoulders could barely carry on…

A huge door drifted into view from afar. Tang Ya's body jerked slightly, and two streams of tears started to trickle down her pale face.

This gate was twenty feet high and fifty feet wide. The ten-foot-high wall extended twenty meters to either side of the gate, while the eye-catching crimson-red paint on the walls seemed slightly solemn. Grey tiles neatly and finely formed the roof of the gate, and two huge words could be seen, emblazoned above the gate. These two words were “Ironblood Sect”.

There were horizontally-inscribed boards that were placed vertically upright to the left and right of the gate. The left board wrote “A Heart As Loyal As the Blood of Iron”, while the right board was inscribed with the words “Lofty Existence For All Eternity”.

There was a time when this place didn't look like that, when there was a board with only two words inscribed above this gate that read, “Tang Sect”.

Indeed, this was the former residence of the Tang Sect. Even though it wasn't the same place the sect occupied long, long ago, when it was still the famous top sect of the world, but it was still the sect's home for almost 3000 years! It was now home to the Ironblood Sect. This was a complete humiliation for the Tang Sect.

“This is my home—this is my home!”

Tang Ya lifted her right hand and wiped her tears away. Red light flashed in her eyes, and her aura started to become fiercer.

The Ironblood Sect didn't do anything to her directly within the city, because Heaven Dou City was home to the Heaven Dou Empire's royal family. Moreover, Tang Ya was from Shrek Academy. It would not end in their favor to attack her! But Tang Ya couldn't bear with this humiliation any longer. Her primal impulses were screaming out to her in front of her old residence. She was here. She had arrived—and she would have vengeance.

Standing before the Ironblood Sect's gate, Tang Ya took a deep breath. Then she extended both of her arms and shouted softly. Suddenly, countless thick bluish-black vines rushed out and separated into three attacks, simultaneously destroying all three boards. Four sour rings also rose up from under Tang Ya's legs.

Bei Bei would be shocked to learn of her cultivation progress. Tang Ya had only crossed Rank 30 a year ago, but was already a four-ringed Soul Ancestor! Not even Bei Bei himself or Xu Sanshi had made such staggering progress!

Tang Ya's martial soul was Bluesilver Grass—no, it wasn't normal Bluesilver Grass anymore. When the bluish-black vines danced, they seemed more like massive pythons. Tang Ya's eyes emitted a dim purplish-red light.

There were two Ironblood Sect disciples standing guard at either side of the gate. But they couldn't react in time, before Tang Ya had destroyed the boards.

“What are you doing? Are you courting death?” One disciple shouted furiously. However, he was struck speechless immediately after he noticed the two yellow and two purple soul rings behind Tang Ya.

Having four soul rings wasn't very eye-catching in Shrek Academy. But for common schools and sects, having four rings was a huge deal. Furthermore, her soul rings were an optimal set. Much like how Huo Yuhao and the others thought that Dai Huabin and the rest of class 2 wasn't strong after returning from the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Soul Dueling Tournament. Tang Ya could no longer be seen as a weakling in the eyes of the disciples of a small sect.

Tang Ya was after revenge. Two thick vines of Bluesilver Grass wrapped around the necks of these sect disciples, although she didn't use any soul skills, her Bluesilver Grass suddenly turned purplish.

The two Ironblood Sect disciples screamed pathetically, they looked like they were being strangled to death by pythons. Their bodies were then crushed, and wave after wave of bloody aura came out of their body, before being absorbed by the Bluesilver Grass. After which, layers of bloody light flowed towards Tang Ya, making skin seem even paler.

“Eh?” An elder was sitting in a restaurant across the street on the second level. This elder had eyes on the whole situation from where he sat. However, this elder looked surprised and squinted his eyes as if he was in the midst of deep thought.

“Tie Li, come out!” Tang Ya shouted. She proceeded to dash through the archway and into the former inner courtyard of the Tang Sect. Her Bluesilver Grass flung the 2 corpses towards the crimson-red walls.

Their screams alerted the Ironblood Sect, hence a large number of sect disciples rushed out. Leading them was a tall figure, with small eyes and short hair. He was even bald on top of his head. He focused his gaze on the small figure of Tang Ya rushing into the courtyard, “Damn wench, you dare kill our Ironblood Sect disciples? You're courting death. Kill her.”

This tall middle-aged man was the young master of the Ironblood Sect, Tie Tang. He had followed his father, the aforementioned Tie Li, bribed some city guards, and attacked the Tang Sect in the dead of the night. Alas the Tang Sect was too weakened by this point, and only Tang Ya escaped the carnage.

While small, the Ironblood Sect still had over 200 disciples. The sect master, Tie Li, was a soul emperor, and there were 2 soul king elders. Tie Tang was a four-ringed Soul Ancestor himself.

“All of you can die.” Tang Ya bellowed— her body whirling off the ground like a screw, jumping into the air. Myriad hidden weapons being flung in all directions as she attacked the Ironblood Sect disciples coming her way.

The front-line Ironblood Sect disciples were wiped out instantly. They weren't even able to get into Advanced Soul Master Academies, let alone stand up to Tang Ya's hidden weapons.

Tie Tang saw Tang Ya's four flashing soul rings. While he also had four rings, two were yellow, and the other two were white and purple. He could only even obtain these rings with the help of his father and the elders.

Tie Tang wasn't shocked at Tang Ya's attack on the Ironblood Sect. While Tang Ya herself might not be an issue to the Ironblood Sect, Shrek Academy was. The Ironblood Sect was terrified of offending Shrek Academy, and actively attacking Tang Ya would do just that. Or so they believed, as they didn't know Tang Ya had already left Shrek Academy. Hence they had been scheming for a long time to provoke Tang Ya into an attack on them, so they could justifiably kill her. However, it did come to Tie Tang's surprise that Tang Ya's cultivation had come so far in just a few years.

After the wave of secret weapons was over, the Bluesilver Grass was unleashed. The numerous purple vines of Bluesilver Grass struck out like awls. Reaping several Ironblood Sect disciples in the process. While the Bluesilver Grass turned dark purple, their blood was absorbed by it.

An unhealthy shade of red was present on Tang Ya's face. The purplish-red glow in her eyes becoming deeper. She stomped her a petite foot on the ground, and more than 10 vines of the Bluesilver Grass came out and threw out the corpses. Meanwhile, she dashed towards Tie Tang.

Tie Tang's martial soul was inherited from the Tie family's lineage. It was called the Iron-Armed Bear, a very ordinary bear-type martial soul. If the Darkgolden Terrorclaw Bear was at the top of the food chain, then the Iron-Armed Bear was at the bottom of it.

Tang Ya's ferocity deterred the Ironblood Sect disciples from taking another step forward. They had fled in all directions, leaving an exposed Tie Tang.

Tie Tang couldn't back down now. He had already let off a signal for the elders and his father in the back courtyard. Tang Ya was far more powerful than they'd expected, and killed numerous sect disciples instantly. However, Tie Tang believed that if he could stall Tang Ya, she would be killed by the elders of the sect. The Ironblood Sect wouldn't even be held accountable for dismembering her corpse after all the sect disciples she'd slaughtered at this point.

“I'll kill you! I'll kill you!” Tang Ya shouted,her mental state completely out of control. Many vines of Bluesilver Grass shot out towards Tie Tang.

Tie Tang stood his ground, and his third soul ring lit up. He threw his fists forward, shooting out a cluster of white light. The white radiance created a large light shield, with a 2 meter diameter, that swatted away the oncoming Bluesilver Grass, then struck out towards Tang Ya.

Tang Ya groaned and pulled back the vines of Bluesilver Grass before flinging them out at the shield again. Each vine littered with sharp spikes. At the same time, she dodged to the side with the use of the Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track.

Due to their limited talents, Tang Ya's parents had a lacking mastery of the Tang Sect Secret Techniques. Tang Ya on the other hand, managed to slowly learn and master the techniques with Bei Bei's help. Leaving the current sight of a Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track that her parents couldn't have replicated.

While that light shield had locked onto Tang Ya's body, its radiance dimmed as she dodged repeatedly. Tie Tang was also on the receiving end of some attacks himself.

A loud bellow came from the back courtyard. “Who's causing trouble in the Ironblood Sect?” An elder who looked similar to Tie Tang and two other elders quickly bolted over from the back courtyard.

A cold radiance brewed in Tang Ya's eyes. She lifted her right hand and waved it in the air. Her third soul ring lit up, and a ball of purplish-black light shot towards the 3 of them.

The ball of purplish-black light opened up in the air and formed a huge web with a diameter of over 5 meters. This was Tang Ya's third soul skill, Saros Pythonweb. This soul skill came from the thousand year Mandala Snake that Huo Yuhao and Bei Bei helped her kill a year ago.

Tang Ya's Bluesilver Grass was much more powerful and ferocious than Tie Tang had expected. Even though his father and the elders had arrived, he didn't feel safe. Primarily due to the fact that Bluesilver Grass was closing in on him from all directions!

Tie Tang unleashed his fourth soul skill without any hesitation. A layer of white light was suddenly unleashed from his body, and his arms became extremely thick. His body spun off the ground, and his arms struck down the vines surrounding him.

However, Tie Tang discovered he was at a severe disadvantage, because when his arms made contact, the sharp spikes covered the vines pierced his skin. His martial soul couldn't resist them at all. Even worse, he could feel energy flowing out of his body from where the spikes had pierced him, which the Bluesilver Grass was able to absorb!

What kind of power was this?

Tie Tang was using the wrong method to protect himself now. Even though further resistance would just lead to the Bluesilver Grass sucking out more energy, he persisted in his defence.

He was on the verge of collapse after 7 or 8 blocked attacks. When another vine came at him, his arm could no longer force it off. The sharp spikes piercing into his arms stuck. The vine of Bluesilver Grass wrapped around his body, ignoring his pathetic screams. More and more vines surrounded him, engulfing him as he screamed in horror.

Purplish halos of light were supplied to Tang Ya through the Bluesilver Grass, and her aura started to become stronger by the second.

Absorbing a four-ringed Soul Ancestor's power quite different; Tang Ya could feel her soul power increasing substantially.

Where was Tie Li when Tang Tie was devoured by the Bluesilver Grass?

Tie Li stood to the side, completely helpless as he watched his son's death.
