Chapter 459 Feint to the East, Attack in the West? The Peril of the Ferocious Beast?
Deep in the Starry Sky Forest, the night was deep.
Unlike the roar of cannons on the outside battlefield, or the hustle and bustle of human cities, here, towering ancient trees obscure the sky, their dense foliage layered upon layer, allowing even the moonlight to filter through only a few rays, falling on the damp soil and gnarled old roots.
The closer you get to the core area, the stronger the sense of life becomes.
The air was filled with the scent of grass, soil, lake water, and the aura of spirit beasts.
The ancient trees stand tall like pillars supporting the sky, and occasionally a low roar of a beast can be heard from between their canopies. In the distance, the lake is as still as black jade, and its surface reflects the faint starlight, as if the entire world is asleep in this ancient forest.
This is the core of the Star Dou Great Forest—a place of great peril.
It is also the true forbidden zone for soul beasts on the mainland.
Even titled Douluo rarely dare to step into this place, but on this night, a very faint wisp of eerie green mist silently seeped into the forest from the outer edge of this ominous place.
The mist was extremely light.
So light that not even the leaves trembled.
It was so light that even the millennia-old soul beasts patrolling the perimeter didn't notice it immediately.
Just as the mist passed by a ten-thousand-year-old shadow leopard, the leopard suddenly stopped, its nostrils twitching slightly, as if it had smelled something extremely dangerous.
It was about to growl as a warning.
The next moment, a pale hand emerged from the mist and gently pressed against its head.
There was no sound.
There was no struggle.
The body of the ancient shadow leopard froze instantly. Its soul was forcibly extracted, turning into a wisp of black afterimage, which was swallowed into the palm of that hand.
The enormous soul beast's body crashed to the ground.
Only then did the eerie green mist slowly coalesce into a figure—Tang San. He was clad in eerie green Rakshasa armor, wielding the Rakshasa Demon Scythe, and a ring of dark purple evil eye patterns appeared deep within his right eye.
After devouring the Evil Emperor, his aura became even more terrifying than before.
The power of the Rakshasa is mixed with the spiritual essence of the Evil Eye Tyrant, which makes his divine sense not only cold and evil, but also has a strange spiritual control and soul gaze.
At this moment, Tang San had completed the ninth trial of Rakshasa and truly stepped into the god level. However, he did not immediately go to the west coast of Star Luo, nor did he go to the battlefield where the Sun Moon Empire's expeditionary force was located.
Because he knew very well that Tang Chuan would be watching that place, and Qian Renxue would be watching that place too.
The powerful figures from Tian Dou, Xing Luo, and the Martial Soul Empire will all be drawn to that Sun and Moon Expeditionary Force.
So he came here—the Starry Sky Forest.
Tang San looked up into the depths of the ominous land, a chilling smile slowly creeping onto his lips, and said:
"Tang Chuan."
"You think I'm going to use the Sun Moon Empire to invade the mainland from the west coast?"
You're wrong.
"That was just for you to see."
"The real hunting ground is here; my true intention lies elsewhere."
He knew very well that what he truly feared in Douluo Continent was not just Tang Chuan and Qian Renxue, but also Di Tian and the ferocious beasts of the Star Dou Great Forest.
Last time, he was almost killed by the combined forces of Tang Chuan, Qian Renxue, and Di Tian. If it weren't for the remnant soul of the Rakshasa God saving him, he would have died long ago.
Therefore, upon his return this time, he must first eliminate one of the forces.
The Star Dou Great Forest is the best target. On the human battlefield, the Sun Moon Empire's soul tools are enough to distract the Heaven Dou, Star Luo, and Martial Soul Empire.
As the Sea God, Tang Chuan would naturally be paying attention to the coastal battles, and Qian Renxue also needed to guard against the Sun Moon Empire launching a surprise attack on the Martial Soul Empire's coast. The ferocious beasts like Di Tian would, on the other hand, remain temporarily in the Star Dou Great Forest due to the alliance, which presented him with an opportunity.
If he can kill all the ferocious beasts like Di Tian, Bi Ji, Xiong Jun, Wan Yao Wang, Chi Wang, and Zi Ji before Tang Chuan arrives, and then refine them into undead...
A ghostly green flame suddenly ignited in Tang San's eyes.
By then, he will possess a true legion of ferocious undead beasts.
The spirit of the Black Dragon King.
The Jade Swan Ghost.
Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear Undead.
The spirit of the King of Ten Thousand Demons.
The spirit of the Red King.
Hellish undead dragon.
Add to that the Sun Moon Empire's Soul Guidance Legion, the undead of human Title Douluo, the power of Rakshasa God, and the spiritual origin of the Evil Emperor, and even if Tang Chuan and Qian Renxue join forces, he might not be afraid.
"Emperor Tian".
"This time, Tang Chuan won't be there to save you."
Tang San slowly raised the Rakshasa Demon Scythe.
On the scythe, lines of eerie green undead marks began to glow.
"Come out."
"My servants."
boom--!
The Rakshasa Domain quietly unfolded, but this time, Tang San did not allow the domain to spread widely. Instead, he compressed it to the outer edge of the Great Famine Land.
A ghostly green light spread from beneath his feet, and undead puppets emerged from the darkness.
The first one to appear was Bibi Dong.
She still retained the ferocious aura of the Death Spider Queen and the Soul-Devouring Spider Queen intertwined, with eight spider spears on her back like black lances, and her eyes were empty, devoid of any emotion.
Next was Tang Xiao.
The undead wielding the Haotian Hammer held a massive black hammer, its body shrouded in the deathly aura of Rakshasa.
The five elders of the Haotian Sect also appeared, each holding a Haotian Hammer transformed into a spirit.
Next up were Chrysanthemum Douluo Yue Guan and Ghost Douluo Gui Mei. The Qi Rong Tong Tian Chrysanthemum bloomed with pale white petals, while the ghostly figure moved along the ground like a wisp of black mist.
After that, there were the Soul Masters who were turned into undead, including Dai Mubai, Ma Hongjun, Flander, Liu Erlong, Zhao Wuji, Qin Ming, and Tailong.
Some of them were not titled Douluo in their previous lives, but after being repeatedly refined by the power of the Rakshasa God, their bodies and souls had long been distorted, and their combat power far exceeded that of ordinary titled Douluo.
Finally, a petite figure slowly emerged.
Xiao Wu.
She wore a blood-red dress, her eyes were empty, and she was surrounded by a strong aura of death.
When Tang San looked at her, there was not a trace of guilt in his eyes, only a twisted possessiveness.
"Xiao Wu".
"This time, you have to help me too."
"Help me kill these soul beasts."
"Once I kill Tang Chuan, you will belong to me forever."
Xiao Wu, the undead, did not answer, but stood quietly beside him. Just as the undead army appeared, deep within the ominous land, a pair of golden dragon eyes suddenly opened.
Di Tian sensed that the aura of death-carrying Rakshasa seemed to be stronger, more filthy, and closer to a true deity than before.
Deep within the lake, darkness surged, and Di Tian slowly stood up.
His face had never looked so pale before.
"Tang San".
"He actually dared to come to the Star Dou Great Forest."
Almost simultaneously, Bi Ji, Xiong Jun, Wan Yao Wang, Chi Wang, and Zi Ji all sensed the anomaly. In the core of the ominous land, terrifying auras rose one after another.
Xiong Jun's massive, dark golden figure emerged from the ancient forest, his dark golden claws radiating a sharpness that could tear through space, as he roared:
"This human actually dares to come?"
"He didn't get killed last time, but this time he just walked right into our trap?"
The King of Ten Thousand Demons stood atop an ancient tree, with countless vines and roots hanging down from all directions, like a silent sea of plants.
"Don't be careless."
"His aura is off."
The Crimson King's three heads roared simultaneously, crimson flames spewing from their mouths and nostrils, saying:
"He's stronger than last time."
Zi Ji wore a long, dark purple dress, with the aura of a hellish dragon swirling behind her, her eyes filled with solemnity.
"God-level".
Brigitte's face turned pale.
"He became a god?"
Di Tian did not answer.
Because the answer is already obvious.
The next moment, Tang San's voice slowly came from the outer edge of the ominous land.
"Emperor Tian".
"An old friend is here, won't you come out and greet him?"
The voice wasn't loud, but it carried a chilling power that sent shivers down one's spine.
The soul beasts in the entire core area felt a sharp pain in their brains the moment they heard this sound. Many of the soul beasts with lower cultivation levels immediately prostrated themselves on the ground, their bodies trembling uncontrollably.
The essence of the Evil Emperor's spirit is the divine voice of Rakshasa.
When the two are combined, Tang San's voice itself can corrupt the mind.
Di Tian took a step forward.
Black dragon energy surged into the sky, forcefully tearing apart the spiritual pollution.
"Tang San!"
Above the ominous land, Di Tian's figure appeared.
He was still dressed in black with golden eyes, his imposing presence as heavy as an abyss.
Following that, Xiong Jun, Bi Ji, Wan Yao Wang, Chi Wang, and Zi Ji also appeared one after another.
Six ferocious beasts stood before this ominous place.
Behind them, the aura of countless soul beasts from the Star Dou Great Forest emanated.
Tang San stood on the opposite side, with a group of undead titled Douluo behind him.
Between the two sides, the dark forest seemed to have been forcibly torn open with a death rift.
Di Tian looked at Tang San's Rakshasa Divine Armor, his eyes surging with killing intent.
"You actually became a Rakshasa god."
Tang San chuckled:
"Surprised?"
Di Tian said coldly:
"It's not surprising that the position of Rakshasa god has fallen into the hands of someone like you."
"After all, a rotten god is fit for a rotten man."
Tang San's smile froze slightly.
Then he chuckled softly.
"Di Tian, you're still as arrogant as last time."
"Unfortunately, Tang Chuan isn't here this time, nor is Qian Renxue."
"No one can save you."
Xiong Jun roared angrily.
"Stop talking nonsense!"
"You think becoming a god gives you the right to run rampant in the Star Dou Great Forest?"
"I'll tear you apart first!"
Di Tian raised his hand to stop Xiong Jun.
His gaze remained fixed on Tang San.
"You came here to kill us?"
Tang San made no attempt to hide it.
"I will kill you, I will devour you."
"Then I'll turn you into the dead."
"Di Tian, the spirit of the Black Dragon King, I think he would be very suitable for me."
Brigitte's face was icy cold.
"Tang San, you've gone mad."
A glint of light flashed in Tang San's eyes.
"crazy?"
"I've simply come to see this world more clearly."
"The weak are only fit to become nourishment for the strong."
"And you soul beasts are born as soul rings and soul bones of soul masters."
"It is your honor to be part of the undead legion of the god Rakshasa."
Golden light ignited completely in Di Tian's eyes.
"Then there's nothing more to say."
He slowly raised his right hand.
Black dragon scales emerged from the back of his hand, and his five fingers transformed into dragon claws.
The terrifying dragon's might crushed the space.
"kill!"
boom!
Di Tian made the first move.
The Black Dragon King's power erupted completely at this moment.
He took a step forward, and his figure instantly appeared in front of Tang San, his right claw tearing through the void.
Dragon God's Claw!
Before Tang San became a god, he was severely injured by this claw.
The Dragon God Claw possesses terrifying destructive power; even divine power cannot underestimate it.
Five golden-black claw-like beams ripped through the night sky, as if to tear the entire ominous land to shreds.
Tang San raised his eyes. He did not dodge, and the Rakshasa Demon Scythe rose horizontally.
"clang--!"
The Dragon God's Claw clashed head-on with the Rakshasa Demon Scythe.
The terrifying shockwave spread instantly, shattering ancient trees in the surrounding area and creating deep ravines in the earth.
Di Tian's pupils contracted slightly.
Because Tang San blocked it.
Unlike last time when he fought back in a sorry state, he truly received his Dragon God Claw.
Tang San's lips curled into a cold laugh, and he said:
"Emperor Tian".
Have you become weaker?
The next moment, the Rakshasa Demon Scythe suddenly spun, and the dark green divine power backfired along the Dragon God Claw, instantly corroding the dragon scales on Di Tian's right arm with black and green patterns.
His expression changed, and he immediately withdrew and retreated.
But Tang San had already caught up.
"Rakshasa's Divine Skill - Soul-Devouring Demon Scythe!"
As the scythe slashed through, a dark green crack was cut into the space.
Di Tian crossed his arms, his body protected by the Black Dragon King's scales.
puff!
The scythe still sliced through the dragon scales, leaving a deep, bone-revealing wound on Di Tian's chest.
The eerie green death energy seeped into his body through the wound, frantically eroding his life force.
Upon seeing this, Brigitte's expression changed drastically.
"Di Tian!" The emerald swan phantom behind her spread its wings, and a soft emerald light instantly fell upon Di Tian. Emerald Guardian - Life Healing.
A stream of gentle life force quickly suppressed the death energy of the Rakshasa, stabilizing Di Tian's injuries.
Tang San sneered.
"Bridget, your healing is still such an eyesore."
He raised his hand and waved.
Bibi Dong's undead spirit rushed towards Bi Ji in an instant. The true form of the Death Spider Queen unfolded, with eight spider spears tearing through the ground and the spider web carrying the death aura of Rakshasa descending.
Brigitte was never good at head-on combat.
She immediately retreated, releasing a large-scale life-giving light barrier in an attempt to block Bibi Dong.
But Bibi Dong's spirit felt no pain and was not afraid of being injured.
The spider spear pierced through the life-giving light barrier, forcefully approaching Brigitte.
Zi Ji snorted coldly.
"roll!"
The true form of the Hell Dragon has appeared.
A purplish-black dragon flame erupted from her palm, slamming fiercely into Bibi Dong's undead body.
Bibi Dong's spirit was blasted away, a large hole burned in her chest.
But the next second, the death energy of the Rakshasa surged, and her wounds began to heal again.
Zi Ji's face darkened.
"These undead are recovering much faster."
Tang San said calmly:
"certainly."
"I am already a Rakshasa god."
"My spirit is not something you can destroy as you please."
Meanwhile, Xiong Jun had already broken into the undead army.
The Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear unleashed its full power, its massive body charging and crashing like a small mountain.
"Sky Claw!"
A dark golden claw-like aura swept out.
He smashed half of the bodies of three Haotian Sect elders with a single claw.
Immediately afterwards, he swung his hand back, blasting Dai Mubai's undead spirit hundreds of feet away. Dai Mubai's undead spirit released the true form of the White Tiger Martial Soul, and the black and white tiger shadows roared and charged forward, but were torn apart by Xiong Jun's claw.
"You dead people think you can stop me?"
Xiong Jun roared.
However, the next moment, Tang Xiao's undead had already swung the Haotian Hammer and descended from the sky.
"Haotian Hammer, Chaotic Cloak!"
Although Tang Xiao is now a ghost, the domineering power of the Clear Sky Hammer remains.
The enormous black hammer, imbued with the deathly aura of a Rakshasa, slammed down fiercely onto Xiong Jun's head.
The bear raised its paws to catch the attack.
boom!
The earth collapsed.
Xiong Jun's feet sank into the ground, and his arm muscles bulged, managing to block the hammer blow.
"roll!"
The dark gold claw suddenly tore open.
Tang Xiao's undead form was blasted away, hammer and all, but more undead titled Douluo surrounded him. The Chrysanthemum Douluo undead released the Qirong Tongtian Chrysanthemum, its pale petals transforming into countless sharp blades that slashed towards Xiong Jun. (End of Chapter)
