Chapter 287 - Douluo: Emerald Poison Emperor [287]
"I have a research project that has been delayed because I need a soul beast willing to sacrifice itself. However, in theory, this research is already complete. If you are willing to sacrifice yourself for me and help me complete this research, and it succeeds, I will spare your wife and child."
"Human... You had better keep your word, or even in death, I will curse you." The powerless Dark Devilgod Tiger let out a weak threat, its eyes filled with despair.
"Part of my research involves allowing a soul beast's spirit to inhabit a soul ring and be summoned for battle when necessary. If this succeeds, you will surely witness it yourself."
"..."
The Dark Devilgod Tiger didn't want to speak. As an evil soul beast, it could control the souls of other soul beasts it had devoured to fight for it. In its mind, this human's so-called research likely resembled its ability.
Chen Ming communicated with the Angel God through divine thoughts, and a translucent barrier appeared, isolating the aura and perception from inside and out. After confirming that no one could detect them, Chen Ming summoned his second martial soul, the Ascending Dragon Sword. The moment the sword appeared, entwined with a 100,000-year soul ring, Qian Daoliu and Golden Crocodile Douluo froze in surprise.
They had never known that Chen Ming was a twin martial soul owner.
"This is something the Angel God senior bestowed upon me. Initially, I only had one martial soul," Chen Ming explained.
After hearing Chen Ming's explanation and receiving confirmation from the Angel God's divine thoughts, Qian Daoliu and Golden Crocodile Douluo were no longer shocked. After all, in their eyes, while creating a second martial soul for a soul master was unheard of, it seemed normal for a god's power to achieve such a feat.
Chen Ming handed over the scorpion-tiger cubs to Golden Crocodile Douluo and then pointed the Ascending Dragon Sword at the Dark Devilgod Tiger's head, staring into its eyes.
"You will sacrifice yourself to me, and during the process, no matter what I do, you must cooperate. Understood? Also, the soul bone that emerges during your sacrifice must be your scorpion tail. I believe this should be achievable, right?"
"As long as you spare my wife and child," the Dark Devilgod Tiger said, its eyes hollow, as if it had already seen the future where its soul would be driven by sinister means. Its heart was filled with despair.
"Don't make me sound like some villain," Chen Ming retorted, channeling his soul power to partially lift the petrification on the Dark Devilgod Tiger. Seeing its wife and child still in someone else's hands, the Dark Devilgod Tiger had no will to resist. It cast one final glance at its family before unleashing its power to begin the sacrifice.
As the soul beast's essential energy ignited, the Dark Devilgod Tiger's body became increasingly translucent and its aura surged. A protective shield enveloped both Chen Ming and the Dark Devilgod Tiger.
With its essence burning away, the Dark Devilgod Tiger's body gradually shrank and faded. Finally, after circling around Chen Ming several times, it plunged into his Ascending Dragon Sword.
As the Dark Devilgod Tiger entered, a bead and a long scorpion tail flowed through the connection between Chen Ming and the Ascending Dragon Sword, entering Chen Ming's body.
Chen Ming kept the scorpion tail and infused it into his external soul bone. The bead, however, was controlled within his body, gradually imprinted with his mark before he expelled it, fusing it with the Ascending Dragon Sword.
The Ascending Dragon Sword, a martial soul of divine artifact-level quality, was created by fusing the powers of the Golden Dragon, Silver Dragon, Earth Dragon, Fire Dragon, Ice Dragon, and others. Although the Dark Devilgod Tiger's Devilgod Pearl was powerful, it could not alter the sword's essence. Under Chen Ming's control, the pearl merged into the sword's hilt, becoming an ornamental-looking bead at the end. The Dark Devilgod Tiger's soul and soul ring, infused within the Ascending Dragon Sword, gradually stabilized under the influence of the Devilgod Pearl.
This process even gave the Dark Devilgod Tiger's soul a fleeting notion that it might one day overpower the human. However, when it thought of its wife and child, it abandoned this idea and obediently prepared to dissolve into the soul ring, enhancing its quality.
At this moment, Chen Ming's eyes gleamed with golden light. His internal essence and spirituality surged into the Ascending Dragon Sword. Through the Devilgod Pearl at the hilt, this energy was converted with minimal loss before being injected into the Dark Devilgod Tiger's soul and soul ring.
Chen Ming's essence was vast and powerful, even containing a trace of divine properties. To increase the chances of success in his experiment, Chen Ming used two soul skills from his sixth soul ring and combined them to create a faint trace of creation energy, which he injected into the Dark Devilgod Tiger's soul.
Although reduced to just a soul, the Dark Devilgod Tiger felt an unprecedented surge of power as its soul was transformed and strengthened. The hidden Devilgod energy within the Devilgod Pearl was also activated, reshaping its essence in an entirely new form.
The energy of the black-and-red soul ring instantly increased by several levels. Under the overwhelming infusion of Chen Ming's essence, it quickly broke through the 90,000-year threshold and surged toward the 100,000-year mark.
At this moment, the Dark Devilgod Tiger's soul sensed the presence of a tribulation. Chen Ming also felt the arrival of the lightning tribulation.
The lightning tribulation, a phenomenon of the Douluo World, detected the aura of the God of Destruction and the trials of the God of Thunder within Chen Ming, as well as his fate as a child of destiny. The tribulation's vague consciousness momentarily hesitated in confusion.
Lightning Tribulation: "Oh, it's you, esteemed one? If I'd known it was you, I wouldn't have interfered."
After releasing a few lightning bolts as a formality, the tribulation dispersed entirely. The Dark Devilgod Tiger, who had been bracing itself for destruction, was left utterly baffled. It had crossed the 100,000-year threshold in its soul form without any difficulty.
However, the sacrificial process was not yet complete. Chen Ming suspended the Ascending Dragon Sword in mid-air, closed his eyes, and focused, channeling his spiritual authority. Forming hand seals repeatedly, he used his abilities to refine and control the process.
The Dark Devilgod Tiger's soul experienced excruciating pain as it was torn apart. Yet, soon after, it felt an inexplicable sense of relief.
The onlookers could see that intense, malevolent energy was being extracted from the soul ring, soul bone, inner core, and the Dark Devilgod Tiger's soul. Before this sinister energy could react, Chen Ming absorbed it directly into his body.
Within Chen Ming's body, his pseudo-demigod-level God of Sin's divine position had been lying in wait. Sensing this malevolent energy, it immediately pounced and devoured it. Though the malevolent energy attempted to resist, it was ruthlessly suppressed by Chen Ming and became nourishment for his divine position.
This trace of malevolent energy, originating from another world, was limited in quantity but exceptional in quality. Although it did not reach the level of a God King, it was between a first-level god and a pseudo-God King in quality. After absorbing this energy, Chen Ming's Sin God's divine position immediately advanced.
The "pseudo" prefix was removed, followed by the "demi-" prefix. Even without any followers worshiping the Sin God, Chen Ming's divine position was forcibly raised to the level of a third-tier god. With the ascension of his divine position, Chen Ming's spiritual realm also broke through, surpassing the threshold of divine consciousness it had been infinitely close to before.
