Douluo: Emerald Poison Emperor [491] (Patreon)

The blood-red skull struck Tang San’s head without mercy. Upon impact, its method of use, along with its sinister power, flooded into Tang San’s mind, instantly making him understand how to use it.

“What in the world…”

Tang San opened his mouth in confusion, at a loss for words. Yet he was so excited that he threw himself onto the blood skull, hugging it tightly, even as it seemed to mock him.

“I see you’re an evil soul master, and you’ve devoured quite a few lives already. No matter how you look at it, you’re no good person. So this treasure will surely help you greatly.”

“Do you think your talent isn’t good enough? Do you think your growth is too slow? It’s fine, you not only have yourself but also your family.”

“Aren’t you curious why there are so many Title Douluos in the Clear Sky Sect? This blood skull is one of the secrets. Back then, your sect elders devoured quite a few of their kin whom they lived with day and night.”

Chen Ming stepped back two paces, reining in his aura, suddenly appearing exceedingly kind.

“I am all alone, with no children, so this treasure is useless to me. But you’re backed by the number one sect in the world; I’m curious about your choice, and about what you will achieve.”

“Jie jie jie jie jie!!!”

With a burst of eerie laughter, Chen Ming turned into a wisp of black smoke, vanishing from Tang San’s sight, leaving only Tang San and Tang Hao awake in the cave. The others were either gravely wounded or unconscious in deep slumber.

Tang San instinctively picked up the blood skull, hugging it to his chest. Drawn by the alluring scent of blood in the air, his gaze landed on Tang Hao, who was lying on the ground weeping blood, and without realizing it, he crawled over.

Looking at his father, Tang San felt he should be in pain. But after a moment of brewing his emotions, instead of pain, his stomach growled with hunger.

“Father, you smell so good…”

Tang San unconsciously opened his mouth. At some unknown time, the skull’s soul skill had quietly activated, his eyes flickering with a purple-black light. Pressing his face next to Tang Hao, he gently licked a drop of his father’s bloody tears.

“Delicious…” Tang San murmured uncontrollably. He then raised the blood skull, pondering for a long time, but in the end, under Tang Hao’s terrified gaze, he put the skull down.

“No, I can’t do this. I’m a good person, I can’t do this.”

Tang San’s face showed determination as he muttered,

“I am pure and flawless, the untainted Tang San. I’m not wrong, nothing about me is wrong. I haven’t done anything wrong.”

“But…” Tang San looked at the blood skull in his arms, then at Tang Hao.

“But how could someone as pure as me tolerate a stain?”

“Tang Hao kills innocents wantonly, he is unjust. He plotted against his wife, he is unrighteous. He betrayed the sect, he is disloyal. He angered his father to death, he is unfilial. How can such a person, lacking in loyalty, filial piety, benevolence, and righteousness, be allowed to live in this world?”

“Having such an unfilial father is my greatest misery in this life. Also, the fact that the evil soul master forcibly gave me this treasure absolutely cannot be spread, or it will ruin my reputation.”

“Yes, I’m doing this for my... no, for the whole Douluo Continent, acting on behalf of heaven! How can someone as pure as me have a blemish, how could I allow it?”

With a look of holiness, Tang San removed Tang Hao’s clothes and placed the blood skull on Tang Hao’s chest, and the aura emanating from the bloody skull grew even more sinister.

“I am ridding the people of evil.”

Tang San wiped the tears from the corner of his mouth, bent down, and soon the sound of chewing echoed through the cave.

After a while, as the chewing sounds continued, a blood-red figure sped toward the cave from a distance.

It was none other than the God of Killing, who had been carrying out Asura God's mission in Slaughter City.

When Tang Xiao was fighting the mysterious figure, the Asura God’s divine sense inside the Asura Demon Sword was already communicating with its true self in the God Realm, contacting the God of Killing and urging him to come.

But since the God of Killing’s divine power was sealed, the strength he could exert in this world was below the god level.

Therefore, although he received the message and rushed over as fast as possible, the God of Killing still couldn’t make it in time to stop everything as it began.

By the time the God of Killing arrived, it was all over.

The power of the God of Killing surged out, entering the petrified Tang Xiao. But this wasn’t to awaken Tang Xiao; it was to activate the power within the Asura Demon Sword.

With external help, the petrification on the Asura Demon Sword quickly faded, and the Asura God’s divine sense recovered. Realizing he’d been ambushed by a mysterious artifact, the divine sense was furious—this was a humiliation.

But for the sake of the bigger plan, the divine sense immediately controlled the demon sword, putting it into the God of Killing’s hand, and hurried into the cave to check what had happened.

Once inside, both the God of Killing and the Asura God’s divine sense were stunned.

Tang San was crouched on the ground, gnawing at a corpse, the brain and heart already devoured, and the other organs mostly eaten.

A blood-red skull sat beside Tang San, with several bodies piled underneath, the evil artifact absorbing their bloodline power and slowly transmitting it into Tang San.

Under this power’s influence, Tang San’s head was no longer human in shape, spider bristles were growing from his arms, and he looked like a terrifying monster.

Yes, Tang San had not only righteously dealt with Tang Hao, but also didn’t spare the other Clear Sky Sect elders. The sect members who hadn’t died at Chen Ming’s hands were, while gravely wounded, devoured by Tang San, emptied out completely.

In the whole room, only Dai Mubai, Yu Tianheng, and Tang Chen were still unconscious; the rest had become Tang San’s feast.

Witnessing this, the Asura God’s divine sense let out a shrill screech.

They had only just managed to fix some of Tang San’s issues, making him seem a little more proper, and now he’d turned into a complete monster.

Even if the Sea God were blind, there’s no way he’d pass on his godhood to Tang San now!
