Tang San was at a loss for words.
At that moment, he actually felt the Abyssal Demon that he had unleashed was somewhat... fierce?
In fact, Tang San had guessed correctly, this Demon Lord was a bit fierce indeed, otherwise, it wouldn't have been exploited. Of course, under normal circumstances, this would be something happening many tens of thousands of years later.
"Do you think there is anyone else here besides me?"
He replied somewhat irritably.
"Wretched insect, is that how you speak to the Demon Monarch Alba?"
Alba's temper was like that of flammable and explosive materials, instantly ignited by Tang San's attitude.
The Purple-Golden Greatsword in his hand brought forth a gust of wind as he slashed towards Tang San.
The terrifying might was enough to make an average Titled Douluo shiver with fear.
But how could today's Tang San merely be comparable to an average Titled Douluo?
His Hao Tian Hammer, starting later but arriving first, was placed in front of him. With just a light tap, he diverted the direction of Alba's greatsword. This move was extremely sophisticated, and there was no sign of clumsiness as Tang San executed it.
Now Tang San had reached this stage thanks largely to Tang Chen. After integrating Tang Chen's insights, he had fully mastered the Nine Absolutes of the Azure Sky, which he could now use effortlessly.
"Wretched ant, are you provoking me?"
After a failed strike, Alba became somewhat furious. Surprisingly, purple flames started to ignite on his body, burning fiercely and quickly, and in an instant, even his Purple Gold Greatsword was set ablaze.
Tang San could clearly see that the space around Alba within a hundred meters had become distorted because of it.
But, he remained calm.
After all, no matter how strong Alba was, he had not yet reached the God Rank. That meant he was only subject to suppression by Tang San, and everything was under control.
"Hmph!"
With a light snort, soul rings began to appear one by one beneath Tang San's feet.
Nine black, one red, one golden.
Although Alba did not understand what this signified, the immense power emanating from Tang San filled him with terror.
"God Rank energy fluctuations, you are a deity of this world!"
Alba hadn't noticed that his own voice was trembling.
He began to panic.
After all, this was a true deity, at least two realms higher than him in this world.
If he meant to harm him, the consequences could be very grave indeed.
Subconsciously, he thought of escaping through the space door behind him.
But with a wave of Tang San's hand, the space door closed.
"Just tell me directly what your intentions are; perhaps we can work together,"
Alba mustered his courage to ask Tang San.
He was impulsive, headstrong, but not entirely witless.
Tang San's attitude let him know that this person... no, this deity must have some purpose.
Upon hearing this, Tang San smiled, "Wouldn't it have been better to say that from the start? My summoning you to this world actually holds enormous benefits for you."
"Really?" Alba looked skeptical.
Tang San said with a half-smile: "In this world, you're free to wreak havoc and destruction. Tell me, how is that not beneficial to you?"
"What!"
Alba was stunned, "You're not joking, are you? As the god of this world, shouldn't it be your duty to protect it?"
Yet Tang San slowly shook his head, "I have become utterly disappointed with this world."
"Hahaha, you said it, make sure you don't go back on your word." Seeing this, Alba could no longer contain the joy in his heart, laughing uncontrollably.
Tang San then instructed, "But, I must remind you, make sure to avoid a place called Sea God's Island, where there might be someone even you cannot handle. Other than that, there should be no one who can stop you."
In Tang San's view, Qin Xiao and Sea God's Island were, for the time being, places not to be touched.
Only after Alba's strength had increased a notch should he try testing the waters there.
As for whether the Demon Alba would destroy Soul Land, then let it be destroyed.
How can there be rebuilding without destruction?
Tang San planned to kill Alba before things became uncontrollable.
Once Alba left Slaughter City, he felt like he had arrived in heaven.
"If I let loose and devour, it shouldn't take long before my strength rises another level, right?"
Alba was thrilled and following the life essence in the air, he found a fairly small city.
His wings unfolded, covering the sky like an eclipse.
"Daddy, look at the sky, what is that?"
In the city, a little girl pointed at the vast figure of Alba, shouting in surprise.
"That's... Run?"
A middle-aged man caught sight of Alba's terrifying figure and immediately grabbed his daughter and ran.
But it was too late.
Purple flames spewed from him, instantly burning the father and daughter to ashes.
Wisp after wisp of souls was fiercely sucked into Alba's mouth.
"Comforting, the souls of humans in this world are exceptionally pure. If I devour another eight hundred million such pure souls, I might be able to exert near-God strength in this world."
Alba thought more and more excitedly.
And he embarked on an even bloodier killing spree.
In just a short while, the entire small city had been turned into a sea of fire, filled with screams, like hell on earth.
Alba, with arms wide open, captured soul after soul and stuffed them into his mouth.
"A demon, you are not a soul beast. You are a demon!"
At this moment, a haggard figure came running towards Alba not far away.
He was brandishing a Long Knife and had two soul rings flickering beneath his feet.
"Hey, this human is a bit different, isn't he?"
Alba noticed the man before him, then casually pointed, and the Soul Master instantly exploded into pieces.
With the soul in hand, Alba saw a series of images before his eyes as he looked through the Grand Soul Master's memories.
