Chapter 425: Clues of the April Continent
In a certain part of the Douluo Continent, space suddenly tore apart, and a figure descended from the sky.
Tang San lifted his head, stood up, and looked around with a puzzled expression. Where was this place?
Before him lay many corpses, all equally devoid of any trace of blood.
"Was this the work of Evil Soul Masters?"
Seeing this scene, Tang San stepped forward, intending to investigate what had happened.
As he went deeper, the number of corpses increased. By now, he was nearly certain that such an act bore the mark of Evil Soul Masters.
"Tsk, tsk… another one!"
At that moment, a voice filled with excitement rang out.
Under Tang San's gaze, three men in black robes, their entire bodies concealed, emerged from a nearby room.
Their eyes brimmed with lust for power and slaughter, a clear sign of the effects of absorbing too much blood essence and martial souls.
"Evil Soul Masters?"
Looking at the three ahead, Tang San let out a cold laugh, his eyes filled with indifference and mockery.
Behind him stood the will of the Dark Origin itself, the source of all darkness. Compared to him now, these so-called wretched Evil Soul Masters were nothing but trash.
"Boy, obediently become nourishment for our cultivation!"
With that, the three lunged forward at once.
Knowing their opponent was dangerous, they did not hold back from the start, striking with pure killing intent.
For Evil Soul Masters to grow strong, aside from their cultivation methods, it was even more important to cherish their own lives and never underestimate any opponent. Only then could they survive on this path abandoned by soul masters across the entire continent.
"I want to see which of us kills the other!"
Tang San's eyes narrowed coldly as he spoke. He released the Blue Silver Emperor martial soul and instantly cast his first soul skill—Blue Silver Bind!
"Blue Silver Grass?"
Seeing his martial soul and the soul rings beneath his feet, the three were shocked.
Not only in their eyes, but in the eyes of soul masters across the Douluo Continent, Blue Silver Grass was widely recognized as a useless martial soul.
Such a worthless martial soul rarely produced soul masters, let alone powerful ones.
Yet now, they saw a soul master who had cultivated Blue Silver Grass to success, and not just that—he was even a Soul Douluo. This was truly eye-opening.
Even so, a Soul Douluo did not intimidate them. Among those of the same level, few could defeat Evil Soul Masters, and with the three of them as Soul Sages working together, a lone Soul Douluo was hardly a threat.
Moreover, his soul rings were so pathetic that even they felt disdain.
"Wait… this kid isn't a Soul Douluo!"
As time passed, they realized something was wrong. The aura and soul power fluctuations he released were far beyond what they had encountered from other Soul Douluos.
"I never said I was a Soul Douluo."
Tang San's eyes narrowed slightly, and the Clear Sky Hammer appeared in his hand.
"The number one tool-type martial soul in the world—Clear Sky Hammer!"
Seeing the hammer in his hand, the three men widened their eyes in disbelief. Twin martial souls—this was a soul master with twin martial souls!
"Fight!"
At this, the three, unwilling to give up, quickly reached an unspoken agreement. No matter what, they had to kill him here. Only then would their cultivation improve greatly.
For Evil Soul Masters, cultivation speed was determined not only by the amount of fresh blood absorbed but also by the martial soul and soul power of their victims.
Now, a man with twin martial souls, one of them the Clear Sky Hammer, and with power far beyond a Soul Douluo, stood before them. If they didn't give it their all and instead ran away, it would be far too great a loss.
"You people truly underestimate me."
Realizing they had no intention of fleeing and even wanted to kill him, Tang San grew furious. He began circulating the Desolation Devouring Art taught by the Dark Origin Will.
With that technique and the power left within him by the Dark Origin Will, Tang San swiftly and easily crippled all three, leaving them sprawled on the ground, unable to move.
In martial soul, soul power, and cultivation method, Tang San surpassed them completely. The Dark Origin Will's power and the Desolation Devouring Art were the very ancestors of what these Evil Soul Masters practiced. The moment he used them, the outcome had been decided.
"I'll ask you this—do you know of the Sun Moon Continent?"
Tang San stepped before the three, withdrew the Clear Sky Hammer, and asked calmly.
At present, he knew only the name "Sun Moon Continent," but had no idea where it was or even which direction to search. His only option was to question others.
Evil Soul Masters were his first choice. Constantly hunted by powers led by the Spirit Hall, they were always fleeing. Over time, they gathered knowledge of many places and bits of information others did not have. It was entirely possible they might know the Sun Moon Continent's location.
"Sun Moon Continent?"
As expected, the moment he spoke the name, the expressions of all three changed.
"It seems you do know this place."
Seeing their reactions, Tang San's eyes lit up with joy. This was truly effortless—he had found a lead so easily.
"We know," the leader said after a glance at his companions, "but why should we tell you?"
They didn't know what he wanted with that place, but if he was asking, it must be important. Since they were doomed anyway, they might as well make things difficult for him.
"If you tell me, I can let you go," Tang San said with a faint, pleasant smile. "In fact, I'm the same as you—I'm an Evil Soul Master. If you hadn't attacked me, I wouldn't have harmed you."
At that, the three exchanged puzzled looks.
He was an Evil Soul Master like them? Could that be true?
The black aura around him was indeed similar to theirs, but the power it contained was utterly different.
For the moment, they couldn't tell whether he was speaking the truth or simply trying to deceive them.
