Douluo: Starting with a self-created soul ring

**Chapter 174: Ah Yin Appears**

In the following period, Tang Hao fell into decline.

Until, during one of his experiences, he met a woman.

She was a woman he could never forget after just one glance.

She was so pure and gentle, like a spring breeze that instantly blew into his heart.

The woman who could make Tang Hao feel this way was naturally the Blue Silver Emperor, Ah Yin!

She also hadn't expected to meet Tang Hao from the Haotian Sect.

When he intentionally approached her, she did not refuse. Having a powerful Soul Saint by her side could help her grow faster.

If she were already a Titled Douluo, she would have fled long ago.

After getting to know him, Ah Yin also started to feel that he was a very good person.

"Ah Yin, I will definitely be able to reach the level of a Titled Douluo in the future!"

"That woman from the Spirit Hall was able to absorb a 100,000-year Soul Ring when she obtained her eighth ring. I can do that too!"

"No, I must. I need to find my eighth and ninth Soul Rings that are 100,000 years old!"

However, when Tang Hao spoke about his lofty ambitions in front of her, the good impression she had of him immediately disappeared.

This man was so obsessed with hunting a 100,000-year-old Soul Beast.

One wasn't enough for him; he actually wanted to follow in Bibi Dong's footsteps and hunt two.

What a greedy man.

In the past, she might not have cared much about this kind of thing.

After all, as a human Soul Master, hunting Soul Beasts for cultivation was inevitable due to the need for Soul Rings, so as long as human Soul Masters didn't kill Soul Beasts indiscriminately, she could pretend not to see.

But ever since the emergence of the new cultivation path—the self-condensing Soul Rings—Ah Yin could no longer accept Soul Beasts being hunted by human Soul Masters. They obviously had the choice not to kill Soul Beasts and instead cultivate their own Soul Rings.

"Well, I believe you will succeed!"

Ah Yin, who could sense the determination in Tang Hao's tone, decided not to suggest that he choose to cultivate self-condensing Soul Rings for his next two Soul Rings.

Because she knew he wouldn't listen.

So, there was no point in talking about it!

Anyway, she would just treat this person as a tool to help her quickly improve her cultivation!

After 100,000-year-old Soul Beasts transform into humans, they need to come into contact with the human world to advance their cultivation. The effect is even better if they interact with powerful Soul Masters.

Therefore, before Tang Hao reaches the level of a Titled Douluo, Ah Yin feels that she can still make use of him.

"Haha, that's right!"

Tang Hao had no idea that, due to his determination to hunt 100,000-year-old Soul Beasts, Ah Yin no longer had a good impression of him.

He only knew that she was willing to believe in him!

What a beautiful and kind woman!

His gaze toward her became increasingly passionate and gentle.

But what Tang Hao didn't know was…

Ah Yin had no real feelings for him now and only wanted to use him.

Furthermore, Tang Hao's contact with Ah Yin would soon be reported to Gu Ziyi.

Gu Ziyi had never stopped keeping an eye on him all this time.

…

"Tang Chen, you should leave this place!"

Outside the Slaughter City, the Slaughter King coldly looked at the old man in front of him.

"Annoying!"

"I'll ask one last time: Is there a way to reach the God level here?"

Tang Chen completely ignored the Slaughter King's warning and only asked dominantly.

After leaving the Haotian Sect, he traveled to many places in search of the path to becoming a god and a way to reach Level 100.

However, he simply couldn't find it anywhere.

Finally, Tang Chen remembered a place called Slaughter City.

The existence of Slaughter City was obviously not something ordinary people could create.

At the very least, he himself did not have that ability.

Putting himself in others' shoes, Tang Chen concluded that there must be something complex behind Slaughter City and that it could be related to the gods.

So, he finally came here.

After arriving, Tang Chen went straight to question the King of Slaughter.

However, what the King of Slaughter told him was "no."

But he didn't believe it, so he began searching on his own.

After a long search, of course, he found nothing—because Tang Chen had already received the reward from Slaughter City.

Unless the Nine Divine Tests of the God of Shura were initiated, Slaughter City would remain the same as always.

However, Tang Chen was not willing to give up so easily. He believed that this place was different from the rest of the continent.

Later, he accidentally discovered that being in Slaughter City helped him cultivate his Death God Domain.

This made him feel the possibility of an even greater evolution of the Death God Domain.

Tang Chen was immediately shocked.

At his level of strength, any improvement was extremely difficult.

He never thought that his Death God Domain could still evolve.

So, Tang Chen stayed in Slaughter City to practice the Death God Domain. Eventually, he discovered that he could progress even faster by participating in the killings in the Hell Slaughtering Field.

So, he threw himself directly into it.

Nothing stated that after winning 100 consecutive battles and leaving the Hell Slaughtering Field, one couldn't return to continue participating.

Faced with Tang Chen's actions, the King of Slaughter simply let it go and didn't dare to get angry with him.

However, after Tang Chen realized that participating in the Hell Slaughtering Field was still too slow, he actually planned to massacre the entire Slaughter City.

The King of Slaughter could not tolerate such behavior.

So, when Tang Chen began his killing spree, the King of Slaughter appeared and stopped him directly.

"I repeat, no!"

The King of Slaughter responded coldly.

As the King of Slaughter, he knew some of the secrets of this place.

Despite this, he didn't want to tell Tang Chen anything.

Because he had a feeling that it would not end well for him.

He didn't want to leave Slaughter City, nor did he want to lose it.

Here, he was the king of all the evil Soul Masters.

"Then you will be destroyed along with them!"

Upon hearing the King of Slaughter's words, Tang Chen raised the Clear Sky Hammer in his hand and spoke coldly once again.

"You...!"

The King of Slaughter trembled upon hearing such a threat. He hadn't expected Tang Chen to be so domineering and persistent.

"In that case, don't blame me for being rude!"

The King of Slaughter also had his own temper. He had tolerated Tang Chen so far because he knew he was no match for him.

However, now that this old man wanted to massacre all of Slaughter City, Tang Chen would not have to face him alone.

"Everyone, listen!"

"Tang Chen wants to massacre all of Slaughter City and cultivate his Death God Domain with our deaths. If you don't resist today, you will only die miserably!"

"I will not sit idly by and watch the destruction of the Slaughter City!"

"So today, I will lift the restrictions on your soul skills. If you don't want to die, join me in destroying Tang Chen!"

With that, the King of Slaughter quickly made the announcement to the entire Slaughter City.

"Damn it!"

"That lunatic really wants to massacre the entire Slaughter City!"

"My soul skills... I can actually use them!"

"This is great..."

"Kill... kill that maniac..."

"..."

The fallen and evil Soul Masters of Slaughter City immediately united against a common enemy upon realizing that Tang Chen was planning to wipe out the entire city.

They knew that if they didn't stand together, they would be brutally slaughtered!

Now that they could use their soul skills, escaping from Slaughter City seemed like an option.

However, they were also well aware that, beyond Slaughter City, there was nowhere for them to survive in the outside world. Slaughter City was their only paradise.

"Kill!"

"Final Strike!"

Faced with the overwhelming number of Soul Masters in Slaughter City, Tang Chen not only showed no fear but grew increasingly excited.

He had a premonition that after massacring all the Soul Masters here, his Death God Domain would evolve once more.

Instead of fear, he charged ahead with an attack.

Boom—

A massive battle erupted instantly.

After the King of Slaughter removed the restrictions on soul skills, many powerful figures in Slaughter City joined the fight.

Though, aside from the King of Slaughter, there was only one other Titled Douluo—the Captain of the Law Enforcement Team.

However, there were countless evil Soul Masters!

Yet, the more people there were, the more exhilarated Tang Chen became.

Under his Clear Sky Hammer, people were relentlessly crushed to death.

Before long, his hammer was completely soaked in blood.

At first, it was somewhat difficult for him to face so many evil Soul Masters.

But as the battle progressed, his Domain grew stronger and stronger.

In the end, all the remaining evil Soul Masters were terrified.

"Death God Domain – Hell Shura!"

However, by the time they wanted to flee, it was already too late.

The entire area surrounding Slaughter City had been frozen by the killing intent of Tang Chen's Death God Domain, leaving them with no escape.

Either they killed him, or they would be killed by him!

"Hahahaha, what a thrill!"

"Come back!"

Thus, the more Tang Chen killed, the more exhilarated he became, and the stronger his Death God Domain grew.

Buzz—

Finally, at a certain moment, his Death God Domain evolved once again!

"Is this... the Death Domain?"

Feeling the evolution of his Death God Domain, Tang Chen silently sensed it and realized that his power had grown even stronger due to the transformation of his Domain.

If he were to fight Qian Daoliu again now, he would be confident in defeating his rival without needing to explode his ring.

"You... you actually evolved the Death God Domain into the Death Domain!"

The Slaughter King felt his Death Domain and appeared extremely shocked.

Under Tang Chen's Death Domain, he realized that his own Death God Domain had lost its effect and was completely suppressed.

This made the Slaughter King despair. That Tang Chen was truly too strong.

...

"Ah? Someone actually passed my first test!"

At the same time that Tang Chen advanced,

The God Shura in the Divine Realm also became aware of it immediately.

Then, through the Death God Domain, he quickly understood the basic situation and qualifications of Tang Chen.

"He is indeed extremely talented. It's not easy for him to cultivate to Level 99 with his own strength!"

"It's a pity that I already have a candidate for a successor; otherwise, this would be a good choice!"

Regarding Tang Chen's talent, the God Shura also gave him praise.

However, someone had already started the Nine Divine Trials of God Shura, and due to the rules of the Divine Realm, he could not start the Nine Divine Trials of God Shura for a second person at the same time.

So, after praising him briefly, he had no choice but to give up on Tang Chen.

However, Tang Chen could not receive the Nine Divine Trials of God Shura, but he could receive other trials.

...

Buzz—

Then, after his Death God Domain evolved into the Death Domain, eight red-golden cards suddenly appeared in his Death Domain.

[Evolved the Death God Domain, gained the recognition of God Shura, and passed the Eight Divine Trials of God Shura!]

[Do you choose to accept the Eight Divine Trials of God Shura?]

At the same time, a prompt appeared in his consciousness.

The Eight Divine Trials of God Shura?

Tang Chen was shocked when he received such a message.

A feeling of ecstasy surged in his heart. The one who could have such means could not be a Soul Master but must be a god.

It is also quite obvious in the prompt—God Shura.

It is also related to the Death Domain that he obtained after evolving from the Death God Domain.

"If I choose to accept, will I have a chance to advance and become a god?"

Suppressing the shock in his heart, Tang Chen calmly asked in his mind.

[No, after passing the Eight Divine Trials of God Shura, you will become the representative of God Shura in the mortal world.]

Just that hint made his burning heart feel as if a basin of ice-cold water had been poured over him, freezing him to the soul.

Representative of God on earth?

Did Qian Daoliu accept such a thing?

Tang Chen was extremely unwilling.

Even if he were not a representative of a god on earth, he was already strong enough.

It was precisely because Qian Daoliu became the representative of the Angel God that all of his Soul Rings were over ten thousand years old.

Even so, the other party was still no match for him.

Tang Chen knew that if he accepted, his strength would increase even further, as long as he completed the Eight Divine Trials of God Shura.

Just like Qian Daoliu, the quality of his other Soul Rings could be improved to at least ten thousand years.

"I refuse!"

However, Tang Chen rejected without hesitation.

Although Qian Daoliu had never told him, he could imagine that there would definitely be restrictions after accepting the benefits of God Shura.

It could become even harder for him to seek self-discovery!

Perhaps becoming a god would become impossible for him!

So, he rejected without hesitation.

"Rejected?"

"That's very brave of you!"

When God Shura learned that Tang Chen had refused, he was a little surprised.

But he didn't care too much. If the other party refused, then he refused.

Anyway, the genius Tang Chen may seem monstrous to the people of the Douluo Continent, but in his opinion, that's all there is to it!

So, God Shura directly took back the Eight Divine Tests of God Shura.

Watching the eight cards in front of him disappear in the blink of an eye, his eyes were full of indifference.

Now that the other party had rejected, he wouldn't feel the slightest regret.

Things that can't lead him to become a god are useless to him.

What surprised him was that after the other party retrieved the Eight Divine Tests of God Shura, he didn't retrieve the Domain of Death either.

"Then I will accept without hesitation!"

Since the other party didn't take back what he said, Tang Chen certainly wouldn't give up.

After all, this was something he had earned through his own hard work.

"You're lucky. I'm no longer interested in killing people!"

After giving one last look at the gravely wounded King of Massacre and the evil Soul Masters, who were less than a fifth of the original number, he turned and walked away.

"Phew..."

"He's gone, he really left..."

The King of Massacre was quite surprised to see Tang Chen leave.

He couldn't see the card that had just appeared in front of him.

So, he doesn't know what happened to Tang Chen.

But he didn't want to know anything more about him. He was still scared. Fortunately, the other party left.

Otherwise, he would really have to die here today.
