In Douluo Continent, Tang San raids my base right from the start.

Chapter 264 Yu Xiaogang, I will definitely tear you to pieces!

"Roar!" With a roar, the scaled beast rolled violently to one side, shattering the surrounding vines and breaking its thorns. Its own scales remained unharmed, and without the slightest delay, it broke free of the vines and began to run on all fours.

However, due to their relatively short limbs and the terrain obstacles, their running speed is not very fast.

"What terrifying power, what terrifying defense!" Tang San was not discouraged; instead, he became even more excited.

The stronger the scaled beast performed, the more satisfied he was!

With a grab, the Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul disappeared, and the Clear Sky Hammer Martial Soul appeared, with the Soul Bone and Soul Skills activating one after another.

"Then let me see just how strong your defense really is." With a flash of his eyes, he flapped his wings and swooped down.

"Roar!" Sensing a strong wind coming from behind, the scaled beast probably knew that its opponent had the advantage in the air and that it couldn't dodge. Its body immediately paused, its limbs pressed down, and then it suddenly jumped up, its spiky tail sweeping backward.

"Bang!" A loud explosion rang out.

"Pfft, pfft." The scaled beast rolled to the side.

On the other side, Tang San's body flew backward and crashed into a big tree behind him, the bark flying off and his thin wings being torn apart on the spot.

"Roar!" The scaled beast roared and charged straight at the tree, knocking it down with a loud thud.

"I've overestimated myself." Tang San's expression changed, and he quickly jumped away, landing on another large tree.

The scaled beast did not pursue them further and turned to run away.

"Damn it!" Tang San's face was grim. He looked down at his right arm, which was still throbbing with a tearing pain, and felt that the thin wings on his back were severely damaged. He gritted his teeth, withdrew his external soul bone and Clear Sky Hammer martial soul, and summoned the Blue Silver Grass martial soul again.

With a flick of his wrist, he tossed out blue silver grass vines that wrapped around the branches of the opposite tree, then lightly swung across.

Then, following suit, he swung his body between the branches, maintaining his distance as he continued the chase.

After an unknown amount of time, the scaled beast in sight slowed down significantly, and black blood continued to spill from the corner of its mouth.

"Heh, so you finally couldn't hold on any longer?" Tang San sneered.

"Roar!" The scaled beast suddenly roared, and the surrounding energy surged violently.

"Self-destruct!?" Tang San was shocked, knowing that the attack power of the Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul was simply not enough to stop it.

No, he quickly switched to the Clear Sky Hammer martial soul, stepped on it, and swung the hammer down.

"Dragon Armor." Just like before, she used the left leg's soul bone defensive skill to guard against unforeseen circumstances.

"Roar!" The scaled beast suddenly roared to the sky, its four limbs bared, then it lowered its head and rammed its forehead into the beast.

With a loud bang, Tang San was sent flying on the spot, swallowing a mouthful of blood along the way and knocking down a large tree.

"Plop, plop." The scaled beast landed, creating a crater, then leaped out and sped towards where Tang San had landed.

"Cough cough." Tang San stood up, supporting his chest, and with a flick of his hand, switched back to his Blue Silver Grass martial soul.

"Fifth Soul Skill, Blue Silver Strangulation!" The vines shot out and stretched and thickened along the way, like a giant python coiling around him.

The scaled beast remained unmoved and charged headlong into the vines, causing them to veer off course.

"Second Soul Skill, Parasite!" Tang San gritted his teeth, and countless Blue Silver Grass vines sprouted from the ground wherever the vines passed, like an ocean covered by vines. While blocking, they wrapped around the legs. "Puff puff." The scaled beast's speed finally slowed down.

"Hmph, a beast is a beast! Even if it has developed intelligence, it is still not worthy of being called a refined person!" Tang San sneered.

They completely forgot that they also had the bloodline of a soul beast flowing through their veins and the previous setbacks they had suffered.

He said it, but his body said it; he tiptoed to the side, just in case.

Within sight, the scaled beast finally stopped, its limbs trembling as it lay prone on the ground, black blood continuously flowing from its mouth and nose, before finally losing its breath.

Tang San remained unmoved until a black spirit ring floated out.

"Phew!" He breathed a sigh of relief and strode forward.

"I need to be more careful when I encounter powerful spirit beasts in the future." After this battle, he felt that this 50,000-year-old scaled beast was even more difficult to deal with than the human-faced demon spider of the same cultivation level that he had encountered before.

After all, at least he could break through the defenses of the Human-Faced Demon Spider.

While thinking, he walked to the side of the scaled beast's corpse and began to apply the foul-smelling beast-repelling powder and the deadly poison.

Afterwards, he sat down cross-legged in an open space not far away to regulate his breathing and recover.

Only when the time for the spirit ring to dissipate was about to arrive did he approach and sit down, circulating his spirit power to guide the spirit ring.

Before long, he felt a violent energy enter his body, and an extremely cold aura entered his brow.

Tang San's brows furrowed, and soon his face turned red, with veins bulging even more. Possessing the Wisdom Soul Bone and having already absorbed six Soul Rings, his mental strength was naturally not bad, enough to resist mental shock, but the violent and boundless energy transmitted by the Soul Rings...

For the first time in his life, he felt a sense of impending death.

It feels so swollen and painful. My meridians are stretched so much they feel like they're about to tear, and so are my blood vessels and muscles.

"Having six soul bones undoubtedly makes my physical strength far exceed that of others of the same level. However, it doesn't allow my internal organs, meridians, flesh, and other parts of my body to reach the corresponding strength. In addition, I had already replenished some of my energy by absorbing the energy of soul beasts. Now, by directly absorbing a 50,000-year soul ring, the energy has reached the limit that my physical body can withstand, not my bones."

"It's this flesh and blood."

At this moment, he finally understood another drawback of the sixth soul skill.

While absorbing energy and converting it into soul power can indeed rapidly increase his cultivation level, it cannot simultaneously enhance his physical strength.

If one's physical strength is sufficient, one's cultivation level can naturally advance rapidly. However, if it is insufficient and cannot keep up with the rate of absorption, absorbing more is useless.

Because his physical body, like a large bucket, is already full and can no longer hold any more water.

Thinking about this, I inexplicably felt a little regretful.

They should have allowed the Clear Sky Hammer to absorb this soul ring first, and then increased its cultivation through devouring; the risk would have been much smaller.

"Am I really going to die here like this?" The thought flashed through my mind.

"No!" was immediately rejected.

"No, I absolutely cannot die here! I still need revenge, I still need to see Xiao Wu, Xiao Wu is still waiting for me outside!"

Thinking of this, he gritted his teeth and exerted all his strength to circulate his soul power.

"Thump thump." Blood began to circulate faster, heart rate increased, and a cool sensation arose.

"It feels like this again!" Tang San felt it; he had felt the same way when he absorbed his fourth spirit ring.

"Could it be the bloodline of the Blue Silver Emperor within him?" The Blue Silver Grass is known for its tenacious vitality, and the Blue Silver Emperor is even more so, which made him suspicious.

It was because the Blue Silver Emperor bloodline within him was activated, temporarily enhancing his body's self-healing ability.

"If I survive this ordeal, I will definitely, absolutely go and hunt down that Blue Silver King as my seventh soul ring."

"As for the Blue Silver Emperor, perhaps we can devour its true form. As for that 100,000-year-old soul bone, we must obtain it!"

Thinking this way, I gritted my teeth and persevered.

"Rip rip rip." The muscles swelled, tearing the clothes on his body and revealing countless blood-red lines on his skin.

Furthermore, it became more and more obvious over time, until it cracked open and bled.

"I can't die, I can't die!" screamed in my heart, while my thoughts raced wildly.

"That's it, the soul bone!" Suddenly, a flash of inspiration struck.

"Soul bones can also store energy!"

He absorbed mostly second-hand soul bones, and their internal energy wasn't as abundant as it was right after he fell in, which meant there was still room for improvement. This should alleviate the problem somewhat.

Without the slightest delay, he immediately pushed his mental power to its limit, frantically circulating his soul power while guiding a portion of it towards the soul bone. He understood the attribute conflict, so he only channeled his own soul power into the soul bone.

"It works!" Tang San was overjoyed as strands of soul power flowed into his soul bone, along with that peculiar cool sensation.

He could clearly feel that the swelling had eased, or at least was no longer intensifying.

"Hold on, keep going! I still want revenge, I still want to see Xiao Wu!" He gritted his teeth and endured the pain while comforting himself.

Gradually, my thoughts seemed to be numbed, and the pain subsided.

Time passed slowly, and after half an hour, Tang San could clearly feel the swelling sensation subsiding.

This also indicates that he has passed the danger period.

The next second, resentment rose in my heart.

"Yu Xiaogang, you deserve to die, you deserve to die!" The Soul Emperor could consider adding a soul ring to the Clear Sky Hammer martial soul. These were the words he had learned from Yu Xiaogang.

If it weren't for his fully equipped soul bones and two external soul bones, he was absolutely certain that he would have believed it.

I would have definitely blown myself up and died just now!

It was Yu Xiaogang's misinformation that led him to try things blindly; it was Yu Xiaogang who almost killed him.

"Yu Xiaogang, don't let me run into you again. Otherwise, I'll tear you to pieces!"

It took me a while to calm down before I began to think seriously.

"To safely absorb and add a spirit ring to one's second martial soul, one would probably need to reach the Title Douluo level!"

He wasn't sure, but it was definitely the safest option.
