The Martial Soul Skeleton, in Douluo Continent's Bone-Changing Susanoo

Chapter 142 The Mighty Armor of Susanoo

Half a year ago, Tang Hao, the former God of Slaughter, returned to the City of Slaughter and met with me. He said that a young man named Xia Liang was a talent highly valued by the Haotian Sect and had been specially sent to the City of Slaughter. He hoped that everything would be done according to the rules and that I would not be made difficult at any time.

When the King of Slaughter heard Tang Hao speak to him in a warning tone, he felt humiliated. However, because Tang Hao was a disciple of the Clear Sky Sect and possessed the God of Slaughter Domain, he did not escalate the relationship. Instead, he listened to Tang Hao's advice and did not resort to underhanded tactics.

Now, upon careful reflection, the King of Slaughter realized that when Tang Hao, the God of Slaughter, met him, he only had level 89 soul power. Even though Tang Hao possessed the God of Slaughter Domain and could use soul skills, he was still no match for him with only level 89 soul power.

All we need to do is kill Tang Hao, and we won't have to worry about the Clear Sky Sect's retaliation.

Losing Tang Hao means that everyone in the Clear Sky Sect will lose the assistance of the Killing God Domain and thus be unable to use their soul skills.

What is there to fear if a sect that cannot use its soul skills is the number one sect in the world?

On the contrary, if the Hell Road is opened to this junior named Xia Liang, once he breaks through the Hell Road, there will be another powerful figure in the outside world who possesses the Killing God Domain, and the master of the Killing City will have to be more cautious in the future.

Rather than doing that, it would be better to kill Tang Hao while he only has level 89 soul power, to avoid any unforeseen complications.

Since this junior named Xia Liang is unwilling to stay in the City of Slaughter and submit to me, then I'll kill him too!

After weighing the pros and cons, the killing intent in the King of Slaughter's eyes intensified, and a sinister smile appeared on his lips, completely erasing the friendly attitude he had just shown.

"I'll say it again. You're spared the risk of challenging the Hell Road, directly promoted to God of Slaughter, and appointed as a guest elder of the Slaughter City, subordinate to me. This is an unparalleled honor. Do you dare refuse?"

The King of Slaughter sat back on his throne, looking down at Xia Liang. His blood-red eyes suddenly widened, and a surge of killing intent materialized into energy that rushed towards him.

Xia Liang subconsciously took several steps back. Seeing that the materialized killing intent coming towards him had not dissipated, he immediately released the Necromancer Skeleton Martial Soul, with his black and purple ribs covering his entire body.

Just then, a figure appeared in front of Xia Liang, raised his hand and waved it, and a dazzling blood-red light suddenly spread out, which neutralized the materialized killing intent released by the King of Slaughter.

Enveloped in a crimson light, six spirit rings unfolded beneath Xia Liang's feet, signifying that he could activate his spirit skills.

However, the activation of the soul skill is limited to the area covered by the blood-red light, because the blood-red light is the domain of the God of Slaughter.

The figure who unleashed the God of Slaughter Domain was Tang Hao, dressed in black robes and wielding the Clear Sky Hammer.

"Achieving a hundred victories will grant you the qualification to open the Hell Road. King of Slaughter, are you going to violate the rules of the Slaughter City?" As he spoke, eight spirit rings slowly floated down from Tang Hao's head to his feet.

Seemingly disregarding Tang Hao, whose soul power was only level 89, the King of Slaughter sat on his throne, propping his chin up with his hand, and said with a hint of sarcasm, "Tang Hao, it seems you've become corrupted after leaving the City of Slaughter. Back then, you already possessed level 70 soul power, but more than ten years later, your soul power is only level 89. It seems that the genius that the Clear Sky Sect sees once in a century is nothing more than this."

"Level 89?" Tang Hao glanced at his raised left hand, remained silent for a moment, and then coldly said, "I'm not at my peak in terms of soul power right now, but my body is at its peak. King of Slaughter, you should have heard of the exploding rings, right? Once all eight rings of the Great Sumeru Hammer explode simultaneously, even if I can't kill you, I can destroy the entire Slaughter City with a single blow. Are you sure you want to go for the kill?"

Upon hearing this, the King of Slaughter frowned, recalling the scene he had witnessed another genius wielding the Great Sumeru Hammer and the Exploding Rings. That kind of power boost, comparable to a divine skill, indeed possessed the power to destroy the City of Slaughter.

But this is on the premise that the opponent has a chance to make a move. No matter how many rings are used, Tang Hao, who is at level 89, is at most stronger than an ordinary titled Douluo. With this little strength, is it possible for him to destroy the Slaughter City under his nose?

With a disdainful smile, the King of Slaughter rose from his throne, his killing intent palpable, and said, "Tang Hao, today, I'll see if the Clear Sky Sect dares to come looking for trouble after you die in the City of Slaughter!"

Seeing that the conversation had failed, Xia Liang's fourth spirit ring spun wildly beneath his feet. He placed his left hand on Tang Hao's right shoulder and said solemnly, "Senior, let's attack together. I also want to see how far our forced spirit fusion skill can contend with the King of Slaughter."

With the activation of the fourth soul skill, Demon Eye Soul Absorption, the second effect, Undead Possession, is activated.

Xia Liang's body gradually became ethereal, and he entered Tang Hao's body like a ghost.

After successfully possessing Tang Hao's body, he forced Tang Hao to activate his seventh soul skill, Haotian True Body, and the Great Sumeru Hammer's eight rings to explode simultaneously.

Tang Hao's body expanded and grew larger like an inflating balloon, and he seemed to become completely transparent, gradually transforming into a blood-red figure that was fifty meters tall.

As he grew larger, layer upon layer of dark purple bony scales covered Tang Hao's entire body. At Tang Hao's hands and chest, the dark purple bony scales condensed into a thick and solid breastplate and gauntlets.

On Tang Hao's head, there was also a helmet made of blackish-purple bone scales.

Just as these changes ended, the enormous black-purple Haotian Hammer appeared in front of Tang Hao's chest and was grasped by his right hand. A dragon head mask fell from his forehead and covered his entire face, leaving only his blood-red eyes exposed.

The blinding crimson light merged with the black light; this was a fusion skill of the Killing God Domain and the Undead Domain, the Death God Domain.

The crimson Death Domain covers an area of ​​a kilometer in radius. Within this range, all targets identified as enemies will be exposed to the Death Light, causing their entire skeletons and flesh to rapidly disintegrate until they are completely annihilated.

Without exception, the bodies of the Fallen sitting in the stands of the killing field were being rapidly corroded and disintegrated by the light of death. Some of the Fallen seemed to enjoy the process of their bodies being destroyed, screaming excitedly as they turned into dust.

In less than the time it takes to breathe, all the fallen in the audience of the killing arena had been annihilated. Their souls did not enter the cycle of reincarnation, but were sealed in the realm of the dead, never to be reborn.

Seeing his people instantly destroyed, the King of Slaughter was enraged, and a powerful killing intent flowed from his body. When he looked at the Slaughter Arena, Xia Liang and Tang Hao had already completed the Forced Martial Soul Fusion Technique, Mighty Armor, Susanoo.

What came into the King of Slaughter's view was a giant that was a hundred meters tall.

The giant's blood-red body was completely encased in black-purple armor. The armor, covering his entire body, looked extremely solid and heavy. Paired with the uniquely shaped helmet that exuded a domineering aura, he resembled a war god who had suddenly risen from the depths of hell, giving off a powerful, immortal, and oppressive feeling.

Upon closer inspection, one will discover that the long-handled Haotian Hammer wielded by the black-purple armored giant is actually the Grim Reaper's Hammer, which was fused with the Spiral Spear and then covered with a layer of black-purple bone scales.

The Grim Reaper's Hammer, which already possessed terrifying destructive power, was amplified by the simultaneous explosion of the fourteen rings of the Great Sumeru Hammer, containing enough power to destroy a mountain.

At this moment, the armored Susanoo wielding the Grim Reaper's Hammer, while not as powerful as the trinity fusion skill with Qian Renxue, was still far superior to the armored Azure Dragon Emperor.

Xia Liang controlled the armored Susanoo, but Tang Hao retained a certain level of consciousness. He felt the power he possessed at this moment and couldn't help but recall the fear he felt when facing the armored Azure Dragon Emperor.

Now, Tang Hao could only pray that this imposing Susanoo would not appear in front of the Clear Sky Sect's castle, otherwise he would be the sinner who destroyed the entire Clear Sky Sect.

At first, the King of Slaughter didn't take Xia Liang and Tang Hao seriously at all, but he never expected that the two of them could use the Martial Soul Fusion Technique.

The hundred-meter-tall black-purple armored giant standing in front of him might not be as strong as him, but if that divine hammer were to fuse with the soul rings of both of them, it would be like the Great Sumeru Hammer with all fourteen rings exploding at once. The power of this hammer would be more than enough to raze the City of Slaughter to the ground.

Could I stop this from happening immediately?

The thought of the entire Killing Capital being reduced to ashes in an instant, just like those fallen ones, made the Killing King panic. If he lost the protection of the Killing Capital, he would eventually be exposed and end up losing control and his soul would be scattered.

Seeing the imposing Susanoo raise the Grim Reaper's hammer high, the King of Slaughter immediately reached out, saying in fear, "Wait. You want to open the Hell Road? I'll grant your wish now!"

As he spoke, the King of Slaughter glanced around and found that there were no more fallen ones to offer as a blood sacrifice. Fearing that the divine hammer he held high would suddenly fall and destroy the entire Slaughter City, he simply used his sharp nails to cut his wrists, intending to use his own blood to open the entrance to the Road to Hell.

With his wings spread behind him, the King of Slaughter flew to the center of the killing arena. He hovered near the waist of the armored Susanoo before releasing the blood that had been suppressed in his wrist.

As crimson blood splattered in the center of the killing arena, a strange scene suddenly unfolded.

Large amounts of blood flowed out in all directions from the center of the arena, like streams of crimson blood.

On the arena floor, grooves appeared at some unknown time, and blood flowed into them, gradually converging into a huge blood-red pattern.

This blood-red pattern is exactly the same as the mark previously etched in Xia Liang's eyes.

Suspended in the diamond-shaped crystal space on the forehead of the armored Susanoo, Xia Liang felt a force pulling him, and his dark golden eyes suddenly turned red, with a blood-red pattern gradually appearing in his pupils.

The image depicts a bird-like creature, but it looks rather strange and not like a typical bird.

In a daze, Xia Liang seemed to see two words in the blood-red color of the pattern: Asura.

What is this?

Just as Xia Liang was filled with doubt, the blood-red pattern in his pupils lit up.

Right beneath the massive, imposing Susanoo, a colossal red pillar of light shot into the sky.

Everything around him became blurred. Only the expression of the King of Slaughter, weakened by excessive blood loss and clenching his teeth, disappeared in the white light.

Xia Liang finally remembered that the blood-red pattern etched in his pupils was not the shape of a bird, but a bat.

The two characters "Shura" that I saw are very likely related to the inheritance of the Asura God in the City of Slaughter.

When his surroundings and senses returned to normal, Xia Liang was greeted by a blood-red scene.

Is this the road to hell?

As Xia Liang glanced around, he noticed that the Hell Road was tinged with a faint blood-red color, with many circular platforms, each five meters in diameter, standing tall, beneath which lay a bottomless abyss.

Further away, the abyss turned into a boundless pool of blood.

Besides, a narrow path less than half a foot wide leads into the distance, which is the Hell Road, the true test of the killing city.

With a whoosh.

While still in his imposing Susanoo form, Xia Liang decided to use this state to quickly escape the Hell Road.

The majestic Susanoo, with its black and purple wings spread wide behind it, suddenly charged forward, instantly creating a gust of wind that knocked down all the surrounding stone pillars, platforms, and other buildings.

The swarm of blood-red bats that flew towards them were instantly annihilated by the light of death as soon as they entered the kilometer-wide area covered by the Grim Reaper's domain.

Even the dark gold three-headed bat king that suddenly flew out of the cave entrance was instantly dissolved and disintegrated.

After sealing the soul of the Dark Gold Three-Headed Bat King in the realm of the dead, Xia Liang controlled the enormous Susanoo in its armor to fly into the pool of blood ahead.

When he emerged from the pool of blood, Susanoo was already holding a giant serpent with both fire and poison attributes in his hand.

The giant serpent was ten meters long, but compared to the hundred-meter-tall Susanoo, it appeared extremely small. When held in the hand, it swayed its body like an earthworm.

According to the original description, this giant snake is called the Ten-Headed Fiery Sun Serpent, a rare species from the primordial era, extremely venomous, and possessing the most powerful fire poison among snakes.

Dugu Yan's Jade Phosphorous Poison Dragon Martial Soul now possesses a poison attribute close to the ultimate poison, capable of fusing various toxins.

For her, the fiery venom of the Ten-Headed Fiery Serpent might be a stroke of luck.

By combining extreme darkness with ice energy, Xia Liang froze the ten-headed Fiery Sun Serpent held by the majestic Susanoo and stored it in his Ruyi Treasure Pouch.

About a minute later.

With the Susanoo form dispelled, Tang Hao returned to the realm of the dead as a soul.

Xia Liang flew out of the exit of Hell Road alone. When he landed, all the killing aura surrounding his body flowed into his pupils, turning his dark gold pupils into blood red, and imprinting a blood red bat-shaped pattern in his pupils.

The Asura Eye is a new form that evolved from the external eye bone and the X-ray vision influenced by the killing aura.

In other words, the external eye bone, the ability to see through things, and the killing intent have been combined into one. From now on, you only need to activate the Asura Eye to activate any one of these abilities at will.

The mark in his pupils disappeared, and his blood-red eyes turned back to black. Xia Liang took a deep breath, and as he slowly exhaled the turbid air, a burst of blood-red light instantly enveloped a hundred-meter radius.

This is the new ability he gained after escaping Hell Road: the God of Slaughter Domain.
