Douluo: Transforming Xiao Wu into a Zerg Queen Was Just the Beginning-Chapter 92 - 93 - "I See You Have Already Found Your Path to Death"
Chapter 92 - 93 - "I See You Have Already Found Your Path to Death"
"Become stronger? Heh."
Tang San braced himself against the ground with both hands, pushing his body upright.
Staring at his reflection in the water—half of his face twisted into a terrifying, grotesque form—the fear and tension that had gripped his heart strangely faded.
He was someone who had lived a second life, a member of the once-mighty Tang Sect.
Though he had focused solely on cultivation in his previous life, the decades of experience he accumulated had not been for nothing.
Within the Tang Sect, he had long since seen through the deceit and treachery of human hearts.
Thus, he already had a clear understanding of the true intentions behind the so-called "Brood Ancestor" lurking within his body.
After all, fear only magnifies when facing the unknown. But once a person understands exactly what they are up against, that sense of panic diminishes considerably.
This was the change happening in Tang San's heart.
Fixing his one intact eye on his own twisted, sinister reflection, he asked calmly, "Then, Zerg Ancestor, what exactly do you mean by becoming stronger?"
"Hmm, let me think."
"For someone like you right now, your body is far too fragile. Your strength? Ha! You're weaker than a pathetic little bug. You're not even on par with the most insignificant of my minions."
The Zerg Ancestor's tone was dripping with contempt, as if utterly disgusted by Tang San from head to toe.
Yet Tang San showed no reaction to the insult, his expression calm and cold.
His gaze was as deep and steady as still water.
Slowly, he spoke again, "Oh? Then, may I ask, Zerg Ancestor, what is your own level of strength?"
Buzz—
Suddenly, Tang San felt a sharp stab of pain in his right eye, where the blood-red eyeball resided. He couldn't suppress a soft grunt of pain.
The crimson light in his right eye intensified, locking onto his own reflection with a deadly glare.
An overwhelming killing intent radiated from the distorted half of his face, and a chilling coldness seeped into his limbs, causing him to shiver involuntarily.
"You're a clever one... but I despise those who are too clever. Understand?"
The Zerg Ancestor's disdainful voice echoed in Tang San's ears, quiet yet unbearably grating.
Tang San clenched his fists tightly. His left eye, the normal one, turned cold as he glared at the sinister reflection in the water.
"Hmph! If you were truly that powerful, killing me would be as easy as squashing an ant."
"And yet here you are, still talking with me, even trying to tempt me with promises of strength—such a base and despicable tactic. This proves that you no longer possess your original power."
"Moreover, the fact that you silently invaded my body shows you don't even have a body of your own anymore."
"You're nothing but a pitiful parasite living inside me. What right do you have to command me? This is my body."
Tang San silently activated his Purple Demon Eye (Ziji Demon Pupils). His left eye gleamed with a sudden purple light, locking onto the crimson pupil reflected in the water.
As soon as he used the Purple Demon Eye, Tang San felt his mind, which had been clouded and sluggish, become instantly clear.
At the same time, the grotesque distortion of his face eased slightly, his appearance gradually returning to normal.
"Haha—hahaha! How amusing!"
"Brat, you're only the third human who has dared to speak to me like this."
Human?
Tang San's mind immediately caught the key word.
If this unknown consciousness referred to him as human, that meant it itself was not human.
Then what could it be? A Soul Beast?
Tang San frowned slightly, carefully recalling all the non-human lifeforms that existed on Douluo Continent.
From everything he knew since childhood, only Soul Beasts could be considered non-human lifeforms.
However, according to records, only Soul Beasts that lived for over a hundred thousand years could develop intelligence comparable to humans—ferocious and cunning beyond compare.
Could it be that the consciousness inside his body belonged to a hundred-thousand-year Soul Beast?
Zerg Ancestor...
Was it some kind of insect-type Soul Beast?
Seeking more information while remaining cautious, Tang San asked again, "What exactly are you, and why have you entered my body?"
The Zerg Ancestor's voice lowered, tinged with anger.
"Me? I am the ruler of the cosmos! I am supreme! I am—the one and only!!!"
"But... after being schemed against by two despicable, shameless humans, I'm now left with only a fragment of my soul, forced to wander the void. Still, even now, my remaining power is enough to sweep across this insignificant world! Hahahahahaha!"
The Zerg Ancestor laughed wildly, a hint of cunning flickering within its voice.
It was lying.
After suffering devastating attacks from Lin Fan's soul power, the Zerg Ancestor was left with only a broken remnant of consciousness, barely surviving.
If not for Tang San's exceptionally powerful soul nourishing the fragment—and the Zerg Ancestor's absorption of the immense life force within Tang San's Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul to sustain itself—
It would have already dissipated completely.
Only by coexisting with Tang San's consciousness could the Zerg Ancestor continue its pitiful existence inside his body.
Had Tang San's resistance been any stronger, or his mental strength a bit more forceful, he could have easily wiped out the intruder's consciousness, effectively erasing it.
The Zerg Ancestor would be as good as dead.
Naturally, these facts could not be revealed to Tang San.
Despite its arrogance born from long existence, the Zerg Ancestor was no fool.
Faced with a threat to its very survival, it would not make the mistake of acting recklessly.
Tang San remained silent.
On the surface, he seemed cowed by the Brood Ancestor's words, unwilling to speak further.
But deep within, his heart was already seething with murderous intent.
After all... he was not a native of this world.
The Zerg Ancestor's words had touched a hidden nerve within Tang San.
It could never have imagined that Tang San's soul was innately powerful precisely because he was a transmigrator.
The fusion of two souls had granted Tang San extraordinary strength of spirit.
This was the deepest, most forbidden secret within Tang San's heart—something no one could ever know.
Even though he had lived this new life starting from infancy, he had never truly forgotten the memories of his past life.
Thus, Tang San could confirm with certainty:
He hadn't just been born into this body—
He had seized it,
Robbing another life of its existence so that he might live.
This truth had long festered like a thorn within his heart.
Thinking of this, Tang San's gaze turned abyssal, locking onto the twisted half of his reflection.
His killing intent was laid completely bare.
"I see you have already found your path to death."
