Ch. 106 - Soul-Devouring Beast King

Inside his sea of ​​consciousness, Wu Liang transformed into a colossal, primordial beast.

He briefly merged his soul with the illusory image of the Taotie, unleashing an even more terrifying ferocity.

"You bastard, come on!!" Wu Liang roared.

Yang Wuqi's breath hitched, his expression growing increasingly grim.

This was unacceptable!

Yang Wuqi's remaining spiritual power surged forth, creating a monstrous wave inside Wu Liang's mind.

But Wu Liang's mind seemed to be forged of steel, showing no signs of shattering.

Not only that, Yang Wuqi's spiritual energy was being devoured bit by bit, becoming Wu Liang's power.

Yang Wuqi's face darkened. "You dare devour me! You madman!"

He was the King Rank Soul Beast King, and a mere Third Rank Taotie dared to devour him!

"Not only will I devour you, but I will make sure you die here completely!" Wu Liang sneered.

As he absorbed a massive amount of tangible soul energy from the Soul Cleansing Pool, his spiritual strength had already surpassed 50,000, and his spiritual resistance exceeded 5,000.

With the level 15 'Greed' and the enhancement of his bloodline divine skill, his spiritual strength was briefly boosted to a terrifying 150,000!

What was there to be afraid of!

Eating Yang Wuqi will only increase his spiritual strength!!

An ink-black devouring force engulfed Yang Wuqi, surrounding him and relentlessly tearing at his soul.

"Get lost! What kind of freak are you?!"

Yang Wuqi was on the verge of breaking down. The Taotie's mind and soul were far too resilient and his severely injured soul couldn't quickly take them over—it was simply absurd!

When did the Taotie's spiritual attribute become so powerful?

That's not what the books said!

Yang Wuqi was afraid. If he continued this standoff with Wu Liang inside his ​​consciousness, his spiritual strength would eventually be drained.

The Taotie was a bottomless pit. It absorbed such massive amount of energy and still hadn't burst.

What the hell was this?!

"I have to escape! A gentleman's revenge is never too late!"

He's already waited over two thousand years. What's another thousand?

Yang Wuqi concentrated his spiritual power into a single point, attempting to pierce Wu Liang's mind and escape.

A sharp spiritual spike shot out, colliding with the barrier of his ​​consciousness.

Wu Liang instantly appeared beside the spike and bit down on it.

Yang Wuqi's eyes widened like saucers.

"What the hell?!"

He's actually biting down on my attack? Is he out of his mind?!

He suppressed the fear in his heart and circulated all his spiritual power.

"Myriad Transformations of Soul, break!"

Yang Wuqi transformed into a spiraling spike, colliding with the barrier of Wu Liang's consciousness.

Crack!

The mental barrier ultimately couldn't withstand his full-force attack and began to crack.

Yang Wuqi's face twisted into a cold smile. "You just wait, I will avenge this!"

Wu Liang smirked, a mocking expression on his face.

"This is my mind, the world I rule. Here, I am... King!!"

As his voice fell, his mind began to shrink, the barrier of consciousness thickened, and the existing cracks began to heal under the vast power of his spiritual energy.

Wu Liang's spiritual energy wasn't fixed. He continued to devour, its power surging relentlessly from the very beginning.

He had completely devoured the remaining soul energy in the Soul Cleansing Pool, even absorbing the spiritual energy of Yang Wuqi's soul.

If Yang Wuqi's injuries were less severe, Wu Liang might have been worried.

But what did he have to fear from this broken and severely injured body!

Wu Liang opened his blood-red maw and lunged at him.

Cold sweat broke out on Yang Wuqi's back, fear gripping his entire body.

If he were swallowed... he would die!

"Wait! I'll serve you, spare me!!"

Wu Liang didn't budge an inch, swallowing him whole and then enveloping him with his full absorption power.

Yang Wuqi was still struggling desperately, his remaining spiritual energy surging left and right, but his aura was gradually dissipating, eventually becoming nourishment for Wu Liang.

[Ding! One broken King Rank mid-stage Soul Beast King, consumed. Spiritual power +30,000, Evolution Points +50,000!]

"One hundred thousand spiritual energy! My spiritual energy has actually reached the Fifth Rank mid-stage standard!"

Wu Liang was shocked, thinking that during the stalemate with Yang Wuqi, he had also consumed a massive amount of spiritual energy. If that energy hadn't been wasted, wouldn't his spiritual stats be even higher?!

"Wait a minute, System, why is the King Rank evolution value so low?" Wu Liang asked.

[Because the Soul Beast King wasn't in its complete form; this was only a part of it. Furthermore, in the battle just now, most of the Soul Beast King's soul was scattered. The host only absorbed a small portion.] 

Wu Liang felt a chill run down his spine.

Yang Wuqi hadn't been in his complete form from the start, yet he was still so strong!

If he had come in his complete form today, wouldn't that mean they might all be dead!

"Damn, a King Rank being is terrifying, ah no... it's the Soul Beast King that's terrifying! I even suspect that at his peak, he is no weaker than Beiming Feng!"

At the altar, Beiming Feng had managed to overpower Yang Wuqi, but if both of them had been at their peak, the battle would have been even more intense.

"Never mind. He's lost most of his soul essence this time, so he must be severely injured right now. He won't be able to cause me any trouble for a while."

Wu Liang now had 60,000 evolution points, and even after evolving, he would still have 30,000 left.

He could start upgrading his skills again!

The Taotie phantom dissipated, and his chaotic ​​mind slowly began to repair itself while the power of devouring and the power of slaughter returned to his body.

After this job, his strength had increased significantly again. It was a pity the Taotie lacked spiritual attack methods; otherwise, its current spiritual strength would completely overwhelm any martial artist below the Fifth Rank.

On the altar, everyone looked at Wu Liang, whose aura had calmed down, their eyes filled with shock.

It really devoured him!

To devour a portion of a King Rank soul so easily—this was simply too abnormal.

"His spiritual power now far surpasses his physical strength. Only a Great Fiend could achieve such a distorted value!" Beiming Feng exclaimed in admiration.

Most magical beasts were not adept at handling spiritual energy. A sudden surge of it could easily throw their souls into chaos. Yet the Taotie remained stable without the slightest hint of disharmony.

Such monstrous enhancement ability was completely unmatched by other magical beasts.

Wu Liang had just regained consciousness and had fallen asleep on Ling Qingxue's shoulder. After such a long period of excitement, his energy was long exhausted; even the strongest spiritual energy couldn't withstand such exertion.

With Yang Wuqi's death, the Soul Array above their heads shattered, and all the Soul Beasts within turned to dust and vanished.

They were sacrifices for this plan. Yang Wuqi had used the lives of all the Soul Beasts to help him seize Wu Liang's Taotie bloodline.

Unfortunately... he failed, and lost most of his soul.

Even if he recovered from his injuries, his strength would plummet, possibly even dropping below the King Rank.

He thought his plan was flawless, but he overestimated himself and underestimated others, ultimately leading to his utter defeat.

"Let's go. It's time to get out!"
