The enormous phantom hammer fiercely struck the soul of the Blood Red Nine-Headed Bat King.
It tried to flap its wings to resist, but the star-strewn insects on its wings made it difficult to move.
After his initial successful strike, Tang Chen didn't stop, employing the Great Sumeru Hammer technique, attacking the Blood Red Nine-Headed Bat King again and again, shattering it to pieces.
Countless streams of blood rose from the blood sea below, transforming into a bloody mist that attached itself to the fractured parts of the Blood Red Nine-Headed Bat King's limbs.
Those fragmented pieces quickly gathered, and it returned to its original intact state.
The Great Sumeru Hammer could continuously stack power with each swing. At this moment, Tang Chen had already magnified the destructive power of the hammer technique to a very high level.
The Blood Red Nine-Headed Bat King's healed body shattered again, blood mist rose, and it healed again... Just like this, it shattered and healed, healed and shattered, entering a state of stalemate.
After an unknown duration, the blood sea below gradually thinned and finally disappeared. When the Clear Sky Hammer swung down again, the Blood Red Nine-Headed Bat King could no longer heal.
It was smashed into pieces, its head, wings, claws, body... scattered everywhere.
Tang Chen, who already held an absolute advantage, a cold light flashed in his eyes. He had the idea of destroying all the "Worms of Time" within his body.
Amon reacted immediately. He directed the vast majority of "Worms of Time" to attack Tang Chen's soul. Then, an Amon outside, a conglomeration of many "Worms of Time," extended his right hand towards Tang Chen's motionless body and grabbed forward.
Because most of his mental energy was being held back by the "Worms of Time" inside his body, Tang Chen's will was unable to effectively defend against Amon's theft.
The idea of destroying the "Worms of Time" within his body was immediately stolen.
While resisting Tang Chen, a small portion of "Worms of Time" delivered the final blow to the already shattered and powerless Blood Red Nine-Headed Bat King.
A scarlet, illusory soul ring, invisible to the naked eye and only detectable with spiritual power, slowly rose from the top of Tang Chen's head.
The Blood Red Nine-Headed Bat King in the soul space slowly dissipated, transforming into specks of red light that converged into the appearing illusory soul ring.
This soul ring was different from ordinary hundred-thousand-year soul rings, emitting an evil, ominous dark red light, appearing somewhat strange.
Another Amon appeared. Immediately, through the invisible threads of fate, he activated the skill theft on the Amon Main unit far away, stealing the sixth soul skill "Trojan Horse of Destiny". He then immediately used "Trojan Horse of Destiny" to steal the fate of the "main body".
This clone standing beside Tang Chen became the main body.
Dazzling starlight appeared in his hand, and a translucent little worm with twelve segments and a cosmos-like color quickly glided, taking away the scarlet soul ring.
The original Amon Main unit , which had become a clone, used the same method to steal back its "main body" fate. After splitting off several avatars to guard the surroundings, it immediately sat down cross-legged and began to absorb the illusory soul ring that had been brought back along with its fate.
Tang Chen's aura surged, quickly reaching an extremely terrifying level. That was the pressure of a Level 99 Limit Douluo, which Amon had only witnessed on Qian Daoliu and Di Tian.
In order to restrain Tang Chen and allow the main body outside enough time to retrieve the soul ring, the thousands of "Worms of Time" that had entered Tang Chen's body did not have time to retreat and were crushed by the hostile soul power.
With the death of the Blood Red Nine-Headed Bat King and the recovery of Tang Chen's will, the "King of Slaughter" disappeared.
The sword-shaped bloody demonic pattern on his forehead flowed with red light as if it were alive. The light gradually intensified from dimness, and a layer of hazy red light appeared on the surface of his body.
His originally pale complexion also began to change. White was gradually replaced by an unhealthy flush, and the wings on his back shattered inch by inch, turning into flying ash and disappearing. His hair also gradually changed from red to black, as did his eyes.
When all the changes were complete, the only thing on his entire body that remained red was the demonic pattern on his forehead.
Tang Chen, who had once dominated for a time, surpassing Qian Daoliu by half a step, had returned. He let out a "hahaha" laugh, his laughter like thunder, shaking the universe.
However, Amon knew that Tang Chen was at the end of his rope. His soul, his body, had been riddled with holes from the confrontation with the Blood Red Nine-Headed Bat King.
If the Blood Red Nine-Headed Bat King had ultimately won, it could have repaired the injuries to this body with its powerful regenerative abilities, but Tang Chen did not have such ability.
The Amon clone remaining in place clapped its hands, expressing admiration:
"As expected of the former number one in the world. This kind of power is something even Qian Daoliu falls short of."
He bowed slightly and said softly, "Congratulations, Your Excellency Clear Sky."
Amon's face held a smile, as if the unpleasantness of the final confrontation with Tang Chen and the destruction of so many "Worms of Time" had never happened.
Tang Chen looked at the smiling Amon, a cold light flashing in his eyes:
"An existence like you should not appear in this world... Evil little devil, I will personally end you now."
After defeating the Blood Red Nine-Headed Bat King and securing victory, Tang Chen's attack on Amon was because he didn't want this abnormal fellow to stay in his body. Judging by the methods he used to restrain the Blood Red Nine-Headed Bat King, he might be even more bizarre.
After all, even that Blood Red Nine-Headed Bat King only parasitized the physical body, while Amon could parasitize the soul!
After his will recovered, he attacked Amon again because he had already destroyed so many of the opponent's worms and forged an enmity. Therefore, he naturally had to be decisive and thorough, otherwise, the other party might retaliate.
Tang Chen himself didn't have much time left and was powerful, so he naturally didn't need to worry, but he couldn't be sure that the other party wouldn't target people or things related to him, such as Tang Hao or the Clear Sky Sect.
A dark black hammer appeared in Tang Chen's hand, with red demonic patterns flowing on its body. It rapidly enlarged, becoming larger than a person, and under Tang Chen's swing, it displayed an invincible and terrifying power.
Even without using soul skills, even with just a simple swing, under the magnification of his peak human soul power, Amon felt as if a small mountain was crashing down on him.
He did not resist, smiling as he was smashed into a puddle of flesh by this terrifying blow.
Tang Chen looked at the unrecognizable puddle of flesh, a hint of doubt flashing in his eyes. He always felt that the other party shouldn't be that weak.
After all, being able to intervene in his battle with the Blood Red Nine-Headed Bat King was enough to prove their extraordinary nature.
But for a moment, there were no more clues. He simply released his spiritual power to scan the surroundings. After finding no abnormalities, he transformed into a ray of rainbow light and soared into the sky, flying towards Sea God Island.
He didn't have much time left. What concerned him the most was the part about Bo Saixi in Amon's babbling.
The person he yearned for, it was for her that he recklessly broke into the City of Slaughter and recklessly underwent the divine trial. Otherwise, if he had made more preparations and been more cautious, he might not have fallen into the Rakshasa God's trap and avoided the misfortune of being parasitized by the Blood Red Nine-Headed Bat King.
Thinking that Bo Saixi had actually chosen him, he was both excited and regretful, and now he just wanted to rush to Sea God Island as quickly as possible.
An earthworm with white circles on its body crawled out from underground. Brilliant starlight illuminated the area. The "Worm of Time" meandered and spiraled upwards, and a figure wearing a black classical robe, a pointed soft hat, with a wide forehead and black eyes, appeared in the starlight.
This illusory figure gradually solidified, finally becoming indistinguishable from a normal person. He raised his right hand and pinched his monocle, gazing in the direction Tang Chen had left. "Tsk... went to Sea God Island?"
...
In an unknown small village, on the roof of an abandoned house, Amon's main body sat cross-legged within a screen of solidified soul power, quietly absorbing the soul ring originating from the Nine-Headed Blood Red Bat King.
Beside him, several Amons in different postures were vigilantly guarding the surroundings. They weren't overly tense, because further out, there were over a hundred "Worms of Time" parasitizing various small animals, monitoring the area.
The Blood Red Nine-Headed Bat King's soul ring didn't contain much soul power, but it held extremely powerful resentment. It was the resentment left behind by a super soul beast comparable to a Limit Douluo before death, and it was also a leader in the fields of life and soul.
As Amon expected, it had indeed not completely died. In the original work, the Deep Sea Demon Whale King could leave a wisp of its soul on the soul bone and replace Tang San when he underwent the Sea God's inheritance. There was no reason why the Blood Red Nine-Headed Bat King, which was more skilled in parasitism, couldn't do it.
In a gray space, a huge blood-red bat quietly appeared. A cunning look emerged in its eyes, and it let out a "hehe" strange laugh as it looked at the tiny figure in front of it.
"If you didn't absorb my soul ring, I would probably have truly perished in that human's soul space, but now, I will take your body..."
Amon looked at the Bat King, which was emitting powerful soul fluctuations, raised his right hand, adjusted his monocle, and slowly curved his lips upwards, chuckling softly:
"If this were in someone else's spiritual space, I would indeed not be your opponent. After all, my soul isn't actually that powerful. However, what makes you think you can contend with me here?"
The Blood Red Nine-Headed Bat King noticed a slight abnormality. Its scarlet infectious power didn't spread out, failing to transform this space into the blood sea environment it was most familiar with.
It raised its head and looked upwards, an expression of boundless terror appearing in its eyes. It was an uncontrollable, unyielding, instinctive fear originating from the deepest part of its soul, independent of its will.
In the grayish-black mist, a colossal entity was vaguely visible, its slimy tentacles constantly wriggling. The tentacles were covered with mysterious and complex patterns that seemed to contain endless knowledge, driving anyone who looked at them mad and causing their heads to explode.
Mad, terrifying whispers echoed in its mind, causing a pained expression to appear on its face.
"What in the world are you?"
The Blood Red Nine-Headed Bat King's voice had turned into a roar that was difficult for ordinary people to understand.
Its body began to distort. Its huge bat wings turned into ugly wings composed of countless worms. A tentacle drilled out from its eye sockets. Its ears, mouth, and body turned into wriggling lumps of flesh.
These lumps of flesh seemed to have a will of their own, struggling to crawl in different directions.
With a final shriek, the giant bat disintegrated, turning into slimy, tentacle-like worms.
These worms quickly merged into the gray mist and disappeared.
Amon looked at the dissipating bat, smiled, and softly muttered to himself:
"Not bad, lasted two minutes longer than Hai Yun."
