Chapter 40: The Slaughter King's Power Soars, Devouring Tang Chen
"So, you can try it."
"Yes, Master!"
At this moment, the Slaughter King's eyes were sparkling with excitement, greedily looking at the spiritual herb. Although he didn't recognize it, he could feel that it would be of great help to him!
Ye Wen muttered to himself, "Looks like it's working."
"Thank you, Master, I will begin now."
The Slaughter King immediately took the herb and hastily began to absorb it.
"Power! My power is truly increasing drastically! Master!"
"Ugh, ahhhh!!"
The Slaughter King roared loudly, his blood-red bat wings fully unfolding.
His face, skin, and entire body began to turn redder and redder, bloodier and bloodier. What had once been human skin was now covered with the bat-red skin exclusive to the Nine-Headed Bat King.
He was starting to resemble a bat more and more, with the human parts of his body shrinking away.
Tang Chen's body was no longer human in its cultivation!
"Master! Master! I am gradually devouring this body, I'm gradually taking control of his power!!!" The Slaughter King excitedly shouted, "Ugh, ahhh!!"
Sssssssss!
The Slaughter King's palm began to crackle with intense lightning, and a hammer began to uncontrollably emerge from his palm.
"Hao Tian Hammer!" Ye Wen narrowed his eyes.
The Hao Tian Hammer started to change, and to Ye Wen's surprise, it turned into a sword—the Shura Demon Sword, a super divine weapon.
The Hao Tian Hammer and the Shura Demon Sword started switching forms back and forth, one moment a hammer, the next a sword. The Slaughter King's excited cries began turning into agonizing screams.
"Ahhhhhh!"
Boom!
In the next second, a terrifying explosion of energy erupted from the Slaughter King's palm, and the transformation finally stopped. The Hao Tian Hammer and the Shura Demon Sword instantly returned to his palm.
"Such a pity! Really such a pity! Master, I have nearly completely controlled his body, but this arm... I still can't devour it. I can feel that there's an incredibly terrifying power in this arm!" The Slaughter King sighed regretfully.
Of course!
If he could devour this arm, he would have full control over the Hao Tian Hammer martial soul, all of Tang Chen's soul rings and soul skills, and even the super divine weapon, the Shura Demon Sword!
If the Slaughter King could do that, his power would reach the semi-god level.
He still couldn't completely devour Tang Chen's body, and Ye Wen felt regretful too.
But at least it was good enough. The Bloody Bone Toxic Rose had proven very effective, making the Slaughter King's strength soar significantly!
If before, he needed to activate the Slaughter Domain to barely reach level 97, then now, Ye Wen speculated that his power was likely close to the peak of level 98!
The Slaughter King had instantly become Ye Wen's strongest general.
Ye Wen asked, "If you could completely devour the power in this arm, your strength would at least reach the semi-god level. But it doesn't matter, you're already very strong. There are few people in this world who can defeat you."
At this moment, Xie Hu and Xiao Bai no longer regarded the Slaughter King with wariness but with a hint of fear.
"Now, how integrated have you become with this body?"
The Slaughter King replied, "Ninety percent. Before, I could only devour half of his body, but now we're almost completely integrated. No method can erase me from this body. We are symbiotic, live or die together."
"This body will forever belong to me!"
"Master, I'm confident that if you give me a few more decades, I should be able to fully devour this arm!"
"Good, Slaughter King! Your first task is to deal with that arm." Ye Wen nodded with satisfaction, his thoughts drifting. "Tang Chen, your life ends like this."
Tang Chen had been completely erased. Even the Sea God's Trident and Sea God's Light were useless now.
Now, the Slaughter King was no longer Tang Chen. He had truly become the Slaughter King, the Blood-Red Nine-Headed Bat King.
"Yes!"
Now with the Slaughter King at the peak of level 98 strength, Ye Wen's forces had grown exponentially, but this power was still incredibly fragile before the gods, even making it hard to clash with the Spirit Hall.
Thus, Ye Wen would continue expanding his forces. His next target was the Extreme North, where the three great kings—Snow Empress, Ice Emperor, and Titan Snow Demon King—awaited.
But he would have to delay the journey to the Extreme North for a while.
"Now that I have taken control of the City of Slaughter, it's impossible for Tang San to obtain the Slaughter God Domain," Ye Wen sneered to himself as he refocused.
He said, "Xie Hu, Xiao Bai, it's time for us to head to the Hell Slaughter Arena. After achieving a hundred consecutive victories, we'll break out of Hell Road and leave the City of Slaughter."
"Yes! Boss!"
Since they were already in the City of Slaughter, there was no reason not to take the Slaughter God Domain. His goal was already achieved—get it and leave.
The three of them directly went to the Hell Slaughter Arena to participate in the competition.
Ye Wen, Xiao Bai, and Xie Hu began slaughtering indiscriminately, each fighting three matches a day.
Each match was a crushing victory!
Soon, after a month...
The three of them had reached ninety consecutive wins, each match easily dominating their opponents.
Then, three days later...
They reached ninety-nine consecutive wins, with just one match remaining.
They were so invincible that every day, fighting three matches, no one dared to challenge them.
No one would be foolish enough to participate in the Hell Slaughter Arena and send themselves to death. By mid-way, only a few people had signed up, mostly those whose time was up.
After all, life in the City of Slaughter was limited to one year. You had to win in the competition to live another year.
But Ye Wen had his ways. He forced the fallen ones to enter the competition.
This day, Ye Wen returned to the Slaughter King's castle.
The Slaughter King knelt before Ye Wen, full of respect. "Master, you called for me. What are your orders?"
"Tomorrow, we'll finish the final match, reach a hundred consecutive victories, and then break out of Hell Road and leave the City of Slaughter. Before we go, I have something to ask of you." Ye Wen said slowly.
"Master, what would you like me to do?"
"If one day, a person with the Hao Tian Hammer martial soul enters the City of Slaughter, do not kill him. Just drive him out! Tell him to get lost. Understood?"
"Understood, Master!" The Slaughter King answered solemnly.
"Then I will go now."
"Wait! Master!"
Ye Wen stopped and asked, "What's wrong?"
"I have a treasure I wish to present to you!"
"Oh? A treasure? Let me see."
"Master, please follow me." The Slaughter King rose and led Ye Wen to the treasure room.
They arrived at a door and entered.
Ye Wen was astonished to see that in the center of the room were a pair of wings glowing with golden light!
They were not weapons, not soul tools, and not crafted by humans!
They were external soul bones that had fallen off a soul beast!
