Chapter 253 - Devouring and Transformation

Chapter 253 - Devouring and Transformation

In reality, Du Qianjue didn't harbor any significant grudge against Tang San; he was naturally opposed to Tang San simply because he was an angel summoned from another realm to assist. It was a matter of perspective.

But who could resist despising Tang San? Any normal person transported into this world would relish the chance to stomp on his hypocritical face before finishing him off. What a delightful thought!

If it weren't for Wang Dong, who had Tang San's divine sense within her, constantly aware of her surroundings and able to interfere with her thoughts and use her as a medium for a mechanical god's descent, Du Qianjue might have already turned her against Tang San.

Imagine Wang Dong striking Tang San with Frost Mourning—it would be an even more splendid sight than Tang Ya whipping Tang San with Blue Silver Grass.

Unfortunately, that spectacle was unachievable. The leash was in Tang San's hands, and Du Qianjue currently lacked the power to snatch it and loop it around his neck. Hence, he settled for manipulating Tang Ya instead.

"Sit cross-legged, release your martial soul, and focus your mind!" Du Qianjue instructed.

Tang Ya wiped the tears from her face, released her Blue Silver Grass martial soul, and concentrated deeply. Meanwhile, Du Qianjue released his Chaos Dragon King martial soul, with five dazzling soul rings rising around his feet.

The words he had spoken to Tang Ya weren't entirely false. Previously, the best he could do was purify the darkness within her, not restore her Blue Silver Grass to its original state. But now, things were different.

After absorbing a divine soul ring formed from the fusion of Xuanzi's core and the Golden Tree's source, Du Qianjue was capable of changing the very essence of Tang Ya's martial soul, purifying it.

The Golden Tree, king of all plants on Douluo Continent, was nearly as fundamental as the Life Goddess's ancient tree of life. The Life Goddess was powerful because, like the God of Destruction, she was born before time itself, and the Golden Tree was much younger in comparison.

Given enough time, the Golden Tree could become a being similar to the Life Goddess. Though not as powerful as the Life Goddess, the Golden Tree, as a top-tier plant, possessed pure life and light attributes, granting it a vitality even stronger than that of the Blue Silver Emperor.

Du Qianjue 's task was to activate the devouring traits of the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger and the gluttonous Taotie soul rings to absorb and strip away the poisonous attributes from Tang Ya's martial soul, removing the toxicity from her Blue Silver Grass.

During this process, Du Qianjue also had to harness the power of the Golden Tree soul ring, filling the void in Tang Ya's soul left by the removed poison with vitality. He could also use the Gold of Life to enhance the life force in Tang Ya's soul.

Altering a soul's attribute was akin to performing a precise surgery. The soul and the martial soul were not much different; achieving what Du Qianjue envisioned was immensely difficult.

If Du Qianjue could complete the procedure, his mastery in soul manipulation would greatly improve. Even if he failed, it wasn't a big deal since Tang Ya wouldn't die; at worst, she might become a bit more simple-minded.

With the green-gold soul rings illuminating continuously, the Chaos Dragon King's five soul rings circled beneath Du Qianjue. Meanwhile, he even released his body martial soul's seventh soul ring, the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger, spinning like a divine ring behind his head.

Even if this 'surgery' failed, it wouldn't affect Tang Ya much, but Du Qianjue was serious, his expression grave. If he was going to do it, he was going to do it right.

Du Qianjue was counting on Tang Ya to successfully change her attributes and then serve as a gardener for him, surely managing his future backyard excellently.

He shaped his hands like claws and made a grabbing motion towards Tang Ya. The green-gold soul rings at his feet, along with the black-gold soul ring behind him, flew out, encircling his hands like bracelets.

The soul rings lit up, activating the devouring capabilities of the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger and Taotie. Wisps of black-purple smoke began to be drawn out from Tang Ya's martial soul and soul rings.

The agony of having one's attributes stripped was unbearable. Just starting the process had Tang Ya pale with pain, sweating profusely, her pretty face slightly twisted in distress.

This was the pain of the soul and martial soul, exacerbated by Du Qianjue's recent words that fueled Tang Ya's hatred towards Tang San to its peak.

The fury of revenge suppressed the soul's agony, and the pain that even made Du Qianjue's scalp tingle was forcibly endured by Tang Ya. Because this process would make her stronger and give her the power to seek revenge.

"Hold on, I'm going to speed up!" Du Qianjue clapped his hands, increasing the rotation speed of the two soul rings on his hands, accelerating the extraction of the black-purple smoke from Tang Ya.

These were the toxins attached to her first four soul rings, including those from the Mandrake Serpent and the Human Face Demon Spider. On these soul beasts, the toxins could be lethal, but on Blue Silver Grass, they only caused paralysis and nerve pain, proving how foolish it was to combine them with Blue Silver Grass.

Blue Silver Grass was indeed adaptable, but that couldn't hide the fact that it was inherently weak. Not developing its natural strengths and forcing it to adapt to something so contrary like toxins was absurd.

Watching Tang Ya suffer as the toxins were continuously drawn out, Du Qianjue shook his head, retrieved the Gold of Life from his brow, and controlled it to hover above Tang Ya's head, releasing a massive amount of life force into her body.

The Golden Tree soul ring also released strands of green-gold light, intertwining with the life force from the Gold of Life inside Tang Ya.

The weakening and pain Tang Ya experienced from having her attributes stripped were completely filled by the dense life force, shifting from extreme pain to extreme comfort, making her involuntarily moan and blush unnaturally.

Focused intently, Du Qianjue ignored Tang Ya's reactions. He continued to use his mental power to control the extraction of poisonous attributes from Tang Ya's martial soul and soul rings, replacing them with life force.

The more he extracted, the harder it became to remove the remaining traces. Especially the last few strands of poison, which clung stubbornly like a deep-rooted disease.

He couldn't simply leave them be; poison was like ink, just one drop could darken a whole bucket of water. To fully resolve Tang Ya's issues, he had to completely remove her poisonous attributes.

Fortunately, Du Qianjue's mental power was strong enough. His tangible mental force allowed him to operate with extreme precision at the microscopic level.

When the last wisp of black-purple smoke was extracted, Du Qianjue stopped the devouring force.

Looking at Tang Ya's now normal Blue Silver Grass, Du Qianjue sighed in relief, pleased with his handiwork.

The bizarre veins and barbs had disappeared. Now, Tang Ya's Blue Silver Grass was truly the lush, vibrant plant that covered the Douluo Continent. (End of Chapter)
