LRAB Chapter 25 The Calm Before the Storm
Chapter 25 The Calm Before the Storm
……
The City of Slaughter.
Hellish Slaughter Field.
The moment Tang Hao appeared, the temperature in the entire arena plummeted, and an ominous, chilling, and filthy spiritual pressure filled the air!
Although Tang Hao was slovenly in the past, he was full of masculinity.
Now he was pale, his eyes were sinister, and his body was shrouded in a mist that blended gray-black and blood-red.
Since he came into contact with that powerful and strange force, his methods have become increasingly terrifying. He manipulates corpses in front of all the fallen people!
Devour souls!
Even when the soul skill is activated, it is accompanied by a horrifying scene of wailing ghosts, blood shooting into the sky, and bones growing everywhere!
Today marks his 108th challenge, and he has ended each battle with terrifying methods.
It instilled fear in the already malevolent falling spectators in the stands! Disgusting! Extremely uncomfortable!
"Who else?!"
Tang Hao stood proudly on the challenge arena, roaring with a voice that was cold and terrifying.
The Haotian Hammer in his hand, which was originally full of pure destructive power, has now become a Dark Haotian Hammer, entangled with darkness, devouring, and evil attributes.
Tang Hao was very satisfied with all of this.
This was the power he desired, and he believed that it wouldn't be long before he could fully comprehend this evil force.
At that time, I will surely be able to annihilate the top-ranked alchemist, Yao Chen!
Under Tang Hao's roar, no one dared to accept the challenge.
Living in a city of slaughter, one needs to take on challenges to obtain a continuous source of power, but they would rather find another way than go on stage and die.
Upon seeing this scene, Tang Hao's lips curled into a sinister smile.
Since no one else is going to step in, he'll go and kill someone!
In a flash of inspiration, Tang Hao's figure rushed into the stands like a ghost.
The people falling from the platform panicked instantly and scattered in all directions, like wolves among sheep.
During the rampage, Tang Hao not only enjoyed it, but also felt an even more powerful force—the attention of the gods!
at the same time.
The King's Palace of the King of Slaughter.
The Royal Palace is not built on the ground, but is suspended above the giant circular building known as the Hell Slaughter Arena.
The king overlooked the core area of the entire Slaughter City, as if the entire Slaughter City trembled under "his" aura.
And he is the king of the City of Slaughter, Tang Chen, the King of Slaughter.
Tang Chen was tall, pale-faced, and had completely blood-red eyes.
He was draped in a blood-red robe, and his entire body was enveloped in a strong scarlet light.
His appearance was extremely eerie and sinister in the eyes of outsiders.
Just as he was about to stop Tang Hao, a force suddenly trapped him and instantly killed the blood-red nine-headed bat king that was parasitizing his body.
As the blood-red nine-headed bat king was killed, the bloodlust in Tang Chen's eyes quickly faded.
His eyes changed from frantic and chaotic to clear and lucid. Although his appearance was still pale and aged, his overall demeanor underwent a dramatic transformation.
Upon awakening, this body seemed to have been infused with a new soul, standing like a majestic mountain, completely different from the eerie and murderous king he had been before.
"Yes... Lord Asura God..." Tang Chen murmured absentmindedly.
……
the other side.
Lake of Life.
The moment the Lake of Life was revealed in the sky, the Silver Dragon King Gu Yuena transformed into human form and burst out of the water, gathering with a group of ferocious beasts at the lakeside.
Their expressions were extremely grave, especially Di Tian's.
"My lord, we..."
Di Tian couldn't help but speak, breaking the deathly silence; what it feared had come to pass.
It can be exposed, but the Lord cannot!
With their master exposed, the divine realm has likely already set its sights on them.
"My lord, the whereabouts of the Beast King are unknown. This place is in grave danger. Shall we find another place to hide?" Di Tian said worriedly.
Gu Yuena looked up at the sky, her thoughts and waiting for no apparent reason.
After a moment, she shook her head:
"The moment it was exposed, there was no point in looking for it; those guys wouldn't let me off the hook."
"My lord, how could it be useless? You should leave now and find another place. We will stay here to cover for you."
"As long as you are alive, our soul beast race still has hope. My lord, please leave!"
Di Tian panicked and knelt on the ground to beg.
Seeing this, the other ferocious beasts also knelt down, sincerely begging Gu Yuena to leave, purely wanting to protect her.
Gu Yuena lowered her gaze from the sky, turned her back to the ferocious beasts, and looked at the lake.
She knew that the divine realm had its eye on her, and that she couldn't leave even if she wanted to.
Wherever you go, you'll face the priests' pursuit. It's better to stay in this Lake of Life, a convenient place, and fight the priests to the death.
"You should listen to them and leave this place."
At that moment, a familiar voice rang out silently from behind the ferocious beasts.
Gu Yuena's heart skipped a beat. She turned around quickly and smiled slightly at the person:
"You've arrived."
Di Tian and the others followed closely behind, turned around, and clasped their hands in a salute:
"Greetings, Venerable Beast King!"
The newcomer was none other than Lin Chen, the "Beast King Venerable" from the celestial screen.
The moment the ferocious beasts saw Lin Chen, the somber expressions on their faces vanished.
They all knew that with Lin Chen's strength, he could definitely protect the soul beast clan.
Now that Lin Chen has arrived, the crisis is over.
"You may all step back," Gu Yuena said to the ferocious beasts.
Emperor Tianxiong and the others obeyed the order and immediately retreated.
Lin Chen stepped forward with a smile:
"Why don't you leave here?"
"I'm afraid you won't be able to find me when you come back."
Gu Yuena, dressed in a white dress, sat by the lake and answered with genuine emotion.
Lin Chen walked over and sat down next to her, their shadows reflected in the lake.
"Hmm? A clone? It seems you've become even stronger while you were away."
"So, all you come to see me are clones? Honestly, never mind. Even though your real body isn't here, your clones are too. You can hear everything I say."
Lin Chen sensed dissatisfaction in Gu Yuena's words, and then took out a jade box:
"Here you go. The pill I promised you is finished. It can heal your mental wounds."
Gu Yuena was stunned when she saw the pills Lin Chen handed her.
She had mentioned this medicine briefly before, but she didn't have high hopes for it.
Because this is a divine medicine! Ordinary people cannot refine it!
The medicine Lin Chen gave him was even more terrifying in terms of its grade than divine medicine!
After he left, he must have experienced many ups and downs, right?
But I only said it casually, and it caused you so much suffering...
As Gu Yuena thought of this, she stared blankly at Lin Chen, her eyes involuntarily reddening.
"What's wrong? Don't you recognize me? Hurry up and refine it. I'll protect you. Those guys from the God Realm are probably coming soon," Lin Chen said with a smile.
Gu Yuena shook her head: "How could that be? Lin Chen, your current strength is only one god away from becoming a god... while we soul beasts are cursed by the Dragon God and cannot become gods."
"I'm afraid we won't be able to see each other again soon." Gu Yuena looked at Lin Chen with tears in her eyes, feeling an endless sense of powerlessness, the powerlessness that the two of them were about to drift further and further apart.
"Fool, what are you worried about? You are a god. Since soul beasts can't become gods, I'll just change the divine rules."
"Listen to me, hurry up and refine the pills."
Lin Chen offered heartfelt comfort.
"Mm," Gu Yuena nodded, and then calmly plunged into the lake.
It happened shortly after Gu Yuena left.
In the direction of the City of Slaughter, the sky suddenly split open, and two beams of golden divine light descended from the heavens.
Some people who witnessed this scene were bewildered because they didn't know the answer, while others were shocked and exclaimed in surprise.
"Those are...deities! Two deities! The legendary gods have descended!"
"It's a city of slaughter!"
"Two new gods will appear in the City of Slaughter!!"
