Chapter 276: Chapter 137: The Rat King Suffers Another Tragedy_1

With the replenishment of Long Kongkong’s spiritual power, the Rat King’s dark golden body became more vivid. The massive creature sprung around Long Kongkong, its small claws not seeming mighty, but letting out streaks of dark gold. Each time Long Kongkong couldn’t avoid a tree branch, the Rat King would precisely cut it off, preventing any attack from landing on Long Kongkong.

However, the sight of a giant rat hopping around Long Kongkong was certainly... amusing to witness.

Seeing the once arrogant figure dashing around like a lost rat, the two knights felt a hint of schadenfreude. So this was his true color?

Eventually, Long Kongkong escaped to a corner, and, with the power of Holy Diversion Abyss, he consumed the peach blossom petals, thus temporarily escaping the encounter.

Under Tao Linlin’s control, the Soul Suppression Tree started to slowly rip its roots from the ground, though this would take some time.

"What should we do? Rat King, this guy is too strong. Should we surrender?" Long Kongkong asked the Sky Devouring Rodent.

The Sky Devouring Rodent retorted, "Fool, why would we surrender? His weakness is clear, his speed is only suitable for a limited area, but isn’t the battleground wide? Continue to devour him! Once he leaves the ground, his spiritual power will replenish much more slowly. Consume all the power I’ve devoured and give it to me, and I’ll deal with him after I’ve digested the gorilla. If it wasn’t for your foolish influence limiting my abilities to a 4th Rank of your world, I would have eaten him by now."

"Alright! All for you!" exclaimed Long Kongkong. His Holy Diversion Abyss was exceptionally powerful, embodying the fusion of three spirit furnaces. In the demon hunting team selection match, the only one who could use a three spirit furnaces fusion technique was him. Even geniuses like Ling Menglu and Zisang Liuying couldn’t manage it.

The issue was that his body couldn’t handle the spiritual power he devoured. It was too fast, too dense. Now that he had a place to vent, why wouldn’t he unleash his full power and devour as much as he could?

A black light enveloped Long Kongkong, and bands of black light spun around him, absorbing the Soul Suppression Tree’s spiritual power and incessantly flowing into the Rat King’s body.

A gleam of golden light flashed in the eyes of the Rat King. The dark golden halo on its body began to shrink and collapse inward in a glowing pattern.

The creature began to change, starting with its size. Initially a sphere about one meter in diameter, it began to gradually expand. Its dark gold color becoming more radiant, its fur glossier, its tail lengthening and its aura rapidly escalating.

Its ability to Devour Heaven and Earth showed extraordinary digestion powers. This was its core ability for survival when it was the supreme ruler of a dimension. Under the support of Long Kongkong’s endless spiritual power, the silverback gorilla devoured earlier was rapidly digested. Combined with the spiritual power from Long Kongkong, the Rat King was quickly evolving.

Unbeknownst to Long Kongkong who was in full focus of his Holy Diversion Devouring, the Rat King’s eyes were gleaming with a smug look.

Finally, Tao Linlin pulled the roots of the Soul Suppression Tree off the ground and slowly approached Long Kongkong. But his speed was undeniably slow. With Holy Diversion Devouring furiously sucking his spiritual power, he distinctly felt weaker, especially since being off the ground was accelerating this weakness.

As a 5th Rank beast tamer, the 5th Rank was the most pivotal point of his cultivation, and the birth sign summoned beast could only be acquired after reaching this rank.

Tao Linlin’s Soul Suppression Tree was incredibly special, a top-tier summoned creature with both clear benefits and downsides. But he had not controlled the Soul Suppression Tree for long. At the moment, he held hesitations on whether he should continue to root down or launch an attack.

The field constraints, his inability to make a decisive move earlier and the increase of his opponent’s consumption, he felt he had no option. Continuing to root himself would only result in being drained, while charging held the slightest hope.

But once he actually uprooted the tree, he realized how terrifying the Holy Diversion Abyss was. Especially when Long Kongkong found an outlet in the Rat King to vent through, his unrestrained devouring depleted Tao LinLin’s spiritual power and along with it, the Soul Suppression Tree’s, to dangerously low levels.

The strength of the Soul Suppression Tree lied in being a birth sign summoned creature merging with the summoner into one, enhancing the offensive and defensive capabilities and overlaying spiritual powers, nullifying the summoner’s inherent weaknesses. But once amalgamated, they shared the damages taken and spiritual power consumed. Despite having formidable total spiritual power, Tao Linlin could not cope with the powerful devouring capability of the Holy Diversion Abyss, and had lost precious time in the process.

He was on the brink of launching an attack on his opponent, but the spiritual power of the Soul Suppression Tree was running out, the massive branches collapsing. This resulted in his attack range decreasing. Under these circumstances, Tao Linlin was on the verge of despair.
