Chapter 321
At the moment Tang San wasn’t going to reflect on how this Asura God power was
related to him or how destroying it would influence him. All he thought of was
to make sure Xiao Wu was fine, even if he died, he couldn’t let this Asura
God’s energy hurt her.
Tang San didn’t react slowly, but all this happened too fast. From that Asura
God power entering Xiao Wu, to the moment Tang San reacted to help, even
though it was just one short second, to a god level force, this second was
enough.
The Asura God’s power only gave Xiao Wu a refreshing and gentle feeling, at
most it was a bit fast. But in Tang San’s senses, this force was entirely
destructive. Xiao Wu’s spirit power met it, but basically couldn’t even hinder
it. That terrifying Asura God’s power was like a sharp needle, rigidily
passing through Xiao Wu’s spirit power blocks, directly pouring into her
veins.
This moment, Tang San’s Seagod divine power also came chasing. But once he
caught up, the Asura God’s power had already split in countless directions,
simultaneously infiltrating Xiao Wu’s different energy channels, sticking
close to them, actually melding together with them. Even though Tang San
charged up momentum, preparing to rely on his divine power to surround and
annihilate it, now he didn’t have anywhere to start. Unless he was prepared to
ruin Xiao Wu’s energy channels. Otherwise, he could do nothing about the Asura
God’s power now.
How come? Tang San screamed inwardly. All he could do now was to do his best
to infuse his own Seagod’s power into Xiao Wu’s energy channels, protecting
them for fear that the Asura God’s power would suddenly explode, destroying
Xiao Wu.
But, shocking Tang San, after those countless Asura God power pieces blended
into Xiao Wu’s energy channels, they immediately began to fuse. There were no
signs of an eruption, so much that it didn’t even radiate a bit of killing
intent. Tang San watched blankly as Xiao Wu’s originally slightly hallowed
golden energy channels turned pure golden under the Asura God power’s
influence, a dark gold filled with chilling killing intent.
This, just what……..
Regardless of Tang San’s intelligence, right now he couldn’t help being
dumbfounded. He clearly felt how the mental link between him and Xiao Wu that
originally needed extreme nervousness or full attention to slightly sense, now
became completely clear, especially the feeling of blood connection became
especially distinct. It was as if Xiao Wu had become an extension of his left
hand, a part of him.
As Tang San slowly opened his eyes, they were filled with incredulity as he
looked at Xiao Wu. He was a bit speechless. Xiao Wu seemed no worse off, her
charming face colored with a faint blush, just like a red apple, perfectly
agreeable. Her energy aura actually broke through once again along with the
Asura God power’s merging, charging through the rank ninety five bottleneck
into rank ninety six. Even Tang San needed to search with his Seagod divine
senses to sense the Asura God’s power she contained.
Retracting his hands, Tang San firmly watched Xiao Wu in front of him. Right
now he was completely terrified, fearful that Xiao Wu’s body would suddenly
explode from that frightful Asura God’s power the next instant. All he could
do now was pray. Xiao Wu’s body might already be permeated with the Asura
God’s power. Even Tang San could do nothing to stop it from erupting.
At this moment, nobody noticed a dark red light suddenly ri
Tang San’s divine sense twitched, and he instantly sensed its existence. When
he turned his head to look, the two meter long Asura Devilsword that he had
practically forgotten in the Seagod Hall, was slowly floating towards Xiao Wu.
Strangely, before Tang San inherited the Seagod’s divine power, the incredible
thirst he had felt for this devilsword’s power, the extreme desire to feel it
grasped in his left hand, was now already gone.
Regarding this bit, Tang San wasn’t surprised. After all, he had now already
become the Seagod, that he no longer felt anything for another god’s
inheritance was normal.
Golden blue light flashed in his right hand, the Seagod Trident appearing in
his grasp. A halo of golden blue light appeared in front of him and Xiao Wu,
the intense Seagod energy instantly blocking that uncalled for Asura
Devilsword outside.
The Asura God energy had already fused into Xiao Wu’s body, and now this Asura
Devilsword came flying, all kinds of unclear signs made Tang San perplexed,
but his fear faded a bit.
“Ge, it seems to be looking for me.” Xiao Wu’s voice echoed next to Tang San.
Having absorbed the spirit ring, she had already opened her eyes, fixedly
watching that Asura Devilsword, her eyes filled with a thirsty light.
Illuminated by the Asura Devilsword’s deep red light, Xiao Wu’s skin seemed to
reveal faint deep red magic patterns.
“Looking for you?” Tang San turned his head to glance at Xiao Wu. Suddenly, he
had a thought. Xiao Wu was like Ning Rongrong and Oscar, having just reached
Title Douluo level strength, she also possessed his aura. Could it be that
after the Asura God’s divinity discovered it couldn’t be inherited by him, it
felt that Xiao Wu already possessed equivalent strength as well as his scent,
and specially guided his evolved Asura Domain into her body to accept his
inheritance? If that was the case, it was a good thing.
From an emotional point of view, Tang San really wasn’t interested in the
Asura God. That he chose to inherit the Seagod was admittedly related to
already having passed eight Seagod trials, but was also closely related to
what he felt about the Asura God.
After all, in order to inherit the Asura God, his great grandfather had spent
his life without succeeding. Thus Asura God power was also too overbearing,
filled with incredibly cold murderous spirit. The stronger it was the harder
it was to control, nowhere was it as familiar to him as the Seagod’s divine
power.
Now that it seemed like the Asura God had chosen Xiao Wu, even though Tang San
felt that this should be a good thing, he still couldn’t be happy. Becoming
the God of Asura was definitely extremely dangerous, and even though Xiao Wu’s
strength had already reached a reasonable level, there was still a large gap
to inheriting divinity. And in this process, even if there were no accidents,
mortal danger might still appear. And how could Xiao Wu stand the Asura God’s
ice cold killing intent? In fact, the stronger the god, the more dangerous the
inheritance. Even if Xiao Wu’s gentle temperament hid persistence, facing an
incredible sharp divinity like the Asura God, could she succeed?
Tang San felt conflicted. With his god level power, he could naturally block
the Asura Devilsword from flying over to Xiao Wu. As long as he relied on the
Seagod Trident, he could naturally stop the sword that was only drawn over by
the energy. After all, he was a true god here, while that Asura Devilsword
only contained the Asura God’s energy.
But this was definitely an opportunity for Xiao Wu. Tang San could be certain
that this flying sword definitely held no malice towards Xiao Wu, otherwise
the Asura God energy that poured into her before could easily kill her, and
even he would be unable to stop it. There really was no need to call over this
devilsword as well.
Tang San looked at Xiao Wu, his expression extremely serious, “Xiao Wu, just
now the energy of the Asura Domain that evolved from my Deathgod Domain poured
into you, you should have felt it as well. It’s that ice cold energy. This
Asura Devilsword is also the treasure my great grandfather Tang Chen left
behind, a weapon on the same level as the Seagod Trident. That it’s flying
towards you now might be to give you a
chance for the Asura God’s inheritance. But, the Asura God is a rather
powerful divinity, it should be the god of slaughter. Completing his
inheritance would definitely be extremely dangerous. My great grandfather
tried all his life without success. I’m worried it will be dangerous. Whether
to accept it, is up to you.”
Tang San really didn’t know what he should do. To Xiao Wu, this Asura
Devilsword was a double-edged blade, only Xiao Wu herself could decide.
Listening to Tang San, Xiao Wu’s eyes immediately brightened, answering
practically without hesitation: “Ge, I accept it.”
Tang San hadn’t thought Xiao Wu would answer so quickly, and couldn’t help
saying: “Xiao Wu, you have to think it through. The Asura God inheritance’s
difficulty might be above my Seagod’s. You saw the Seagod inheritance, you
were with me practically the whole time. Have you really thought about it? If
you accept this inheritance you will have to complete it, there will be no
chance for regret.”
Xiao Wu firmly said: “I accept it. Ge, listen to me. To catch the eye of a
divinity might be even harder than inheriting it. You’ve already become the
Seagod, if I am to stay with you forever, I have to become a god too. Which
road to becoming a god isn’t dangerous? Besides, I don’t know if I’ll be able
to find another divinity later. I don’t want to leave you, I want to be with
you forever, so let me try. With you helping me, I’ll definitely have a
chance. Otherwise this Asura Devilsword wouldn’t have chosen me.”
Seeing Xiao Wu’s resolute gaze, Tang San slowly nodded, his heart turning.
After all, this Asura Devilsword was something his great grandfather had
gotten over many years in hell, and according to the words he’d left behind,
this devilsword in itself meant you had already passed a portion of the Asura
God’s inheritance. Under such circumstances, Xiao Wu’s chances of success
weren’t small. What she said made sense, with him by her side, if there was
danger he could definitely help her.
“Since that’s the case, be careful.” While speaking, Tang San withdrew his
Seagod Trident, turning around and standing next to Xiao Wu, his divine
sense firmly locked on that Asura Devilsword. Even though he knew the sword
likely wouldn’t harm Xiao Wu, but out of concern for his lover, he was still
catiously ready to meet any contingencies.
Without the Seagod Trident to stop it, red light flashed, and that Asura
Devilsword arrived in front of Xiao Wu. A strange scene appeared, as that
Asura Devilsword came within three meters of her, with a flash of red light,
that giant devilsword suddenly transformed into nine red streams, floating in
the air, each pouring into Xiao Wu in different parts of her body.
Instantly, dark red magic patterns appeared on Xiao Wu’s originally fair skin.
These patterns didn’t appear directly in her skin, but rather as an energy
hovering an inch above her skin. Tang San clearly sensed how this energy
contained a terrifying presence, that ice cold slaughter intent making even
him as a Seagod frown.
Xiao Wu didn’t feel anything, he only felt nine cool flows enter her body,
incredibly refreshing. Very soon, those nine streams had blended into her
body, and the dark red patterns over her skin also gradually faded,
disappearing into her. It caused no other changes.
Seeing Xiao Wu return to normal, Tang San also heaved a sigh of relief, at
least there was no problem at the moment. He quickly asked: “Xiao Wu, is there
any voice prompting you?”
Xiao Wu shook her head: “None! Only that very cold flow, and then it poured
into me, I don’t feel anything unusual. No prompts either.”
Listening to Xiao Wu’s answer, Tang San couldn’t help smiling wryly, this
Asura God really didn’t take the common route, his method for choosing
successors was so weird. Only, judging by the present circumstances, since
Xiao Wu had assimilated his energy, there shouldn’t be any major issues. At
least there were signs of inheritance, it should just be that Xiao Wu’s
strength still hadn’t reached the corresponding requirements, and so there was
no prompts from the Asura God.
According to the present circumstances, Tang San’s judgement was clearly the
most rational. But he still overlooked one thing, even though a
portion of his Asura Domain’s energy was transmitted to Xiao Wu, fusing with
her, the Asura Domain on his Clear Sky Hammer still hadn’t disappeared. It
still remained. In fact, Tang San’s judgement really wasn’t correct, the Asura
Devilsword entering Xiao Wu absolutely wasn’t as simple as he imagined. It was
just that the present circumstances didn’t give him enough to work it out.
Tang San held Xiao Wu’s hand, inspecting her condition. He discovered that the
Xiao Wu’s energy channels, blood and muscles had already turned dark golden,
but apart from this there was nothing special. After the color change, Xiao
Wu’s body was just imperceptibly being nourished by the Asura God’s power,
everything heading in the right direction. Tang San searched a few times,
making sure Xiao Wu’s condition, then didn’t need to keep worrying at the
moment. So far, the Shrek Seven Devils’ last Title Douluo had also appeared.
In spirit power, Xiao Wu had even surpassed Dai Mubai’s ninety five ranks,
becoming the strongest spirit power of the Shrek Seven Devils besides Tang
San.
“Little San, let’s hurry and go. To avoid anything happening at Jialing Pass.”
Seeing that Xiao Wu had also completed the absorption, Dai Mubai proposed.
They had also head Tang San and Xiao Wu talking before, and Dai Mubai couldn’t
help feeling a bit envious at another of their comrades drawing the eye of a
divinity. But now wasn’t the time to think about divinity, all that would have
to wait until the Spirit Empire was eradicated.
Tang San nodded, “Let’s go.”
While speaking, he walked up to the seven sacred Seagod pillar guardian
Douluo, “Seniors, the Seagod Island will be left to you. We don’t know when
we’ll be able to return, but don’t worry, I’ve left a portion of divine sense
on the Seagod Mountain, if anything happens, you just need to call out my name
on the central platform, and I’ll hear your voice.”
The guardian Douluo bowed together, “We wish you success, lord Seagod.”
Golden blue light blossomed from Tang San, turning into a giant ring of light
that enveloped him and his comrades. With a flash of light, everyone
had left with a sparkle. In order to rush back to Jialing Pass, they didn’t
even have time to call out to Xiao Bai.
Only, Tang San’s first destination after leaving Seagod Island wasn’t back at
the Douluo Continent.
Purple Pearl Island.
Ji Xiang stood on the sandy shore, looking at a wooden board thirty meters
away, his energies seeming to focus in his eyes. In the depths of his eyes,
purple energy seemed to be faintly visible.
Suddenly, Ji Xiang moved slightly, his whole body quickly flickering in place,
what he used was Tang San’s profoundly mysterious Ghost Shadow Perplexing
Step.
Even if Ji Xiang’s Ghost Shadow Perplexing Step couldn’t compare to Tang San,
he was already extremely practiced with it. He could already form a series of
afterimages in his surroundings.
Nine cold lights floated out, cutting through the air in nine different
directions. Light flashed, a dull thwock sounded, and the nine cold lights
simultaneously hit the wooden board thirty meters away. Because they hit at
the same instant, they only produced one sound.
Those were nine willow leaf flying knives, stuck in the wooden board like
leaves sprouting. They were stuck in a circle, the exact same distance between
each knife. Whether in technique or eyesight, Ji Xiang had already practiced
this throwing knife technique to perfection.
Ever since Tang San had taken him as a disciple six years ago, imparting him
the Tang Sect’s secret lore, Ji Xiang had trained day and night. A spirit
would no longer become an obstacle to his cultivation. He’d matured extremely
quickly in a short six years, and adding in Tang San’s help to him back then,
he had already vaguely become the number two expert on Purple Pearl Island
after Purple Pearl.
Exhaling slowly, Ji Xiang stood straight, his eyes showing happiness, “It
seems I can practice the next hidden weapon technique. I wonder if that
strange scene in Seagod Island’s direction was as they say, the Seagod
descending. Yi, what’s that?”
Suddenly, a dot of golden blue light in the direction Ji Xiang was looking
quickly flew towards Purple Pearl Island. In six years of cultivation, his
Purple Demon Eye had already reached a certain level, his eyesight much
stronger than ordinary people. But however he stared, he still couldn’t tell
just what that golden blue light was.
That golden blue light was extremely fast. In practically just a few breaths
it had already grown in front of him. Ji Xiang quickly buckled up a brace of
throwing needles, calmly retreating towards the center of the island. But he
always faced that golden blue light. He had learned this from Tang San, to
never turn your back on the enemy. Ji Xiang remembered each of Tang San’s
lessons deeply, and reality had proven that the things Tang San taught him
were the truth.
“Ji Xiang, don’t be nervous.” The golden blue light flashed, blinding Ji Xiang
for a moment, and then seven people stood on the beach. Seeing these seven, he
was first shocked, then, his eyes froze on the golden blue robed youth leading
them.
Golden blue long hair scattered across his shoulders, a faint smile on his
handsome face, a graceful, hallowed temperament, that expression that made Ji
Xiang tremble from his heart, as well as the fully familiar presence. All of
it, everything was familiar, and also a bit unfamiliar.
In six years, Tang San’s appearance hadn’t changed much, what changed was his
temperament. After all, he had experienced going from human to god, how could
he seem the same?
“Teacher.” Ji Xiang stumbled forward, falling to his knees and kowtowing to
Tang San. His always dull nature now couldn’t help growing excited. Tang San
could be said to have given him a new life, and he had a heartfelt reverence
towards this teacher that was barely older than him.
Tang San smiled, and with a wave of his right hand, a gentle force pulled Ji
Xiang up, “No need for ceremony. Your progress over six years is a pleasant
surprise. It seems you’ve always been working hard with cultivation.”
Jixiang nodded hard, already choked speechless with emotion.
Tang San said: “You are my only named disciple, the ban on Seagod Island has
already been lifted, if you wish, you can go there to cultivate.” While
speaking, Tang San raised his hand and pointed in Ji Xiang’s direction. A
golden blue light was instantly branded on his forehead, astonishingly with a
trident design, just like the Seagod Trident on Tang San’s forehead. Only, the
brand on Ji Xiang’s forehead was only a seal Tang San left for him with divine
sense. With this mark, whether the seven sacred Seagod pillar guardian Douluo
or the Devil Spirit Great White Shark pack, all would admit him.
Tang San turned to look at Xiao Wu, who smiled slightly, handing her last god
bestowed spirit ring to him. Tang San said to Ji Xiang: “This god bestowed
spirit ring is for you, but you must keep it for when you attack the ninth
spirit ring in the future. I still have important matters to attend to. If you
go to Seagod Island, as long as you let them see the brand on your forehead,
they will believe your identity. Tell them you are the Seagod’s disciple. We
have to go, if everything goes smoothly, perhaps, we will meet again in a few
years.”
Smiling and nodding to Ji Xiang, Tang San raised his right hand, and the
golden blue halo appeared again. With a flash of light, that giant halo
carried Tang San and the others to instantly shoot into the air, disappearing
in the distant blue sky in just the blink of an eye.
“Teacher, teacher——” Ji Xiang shouted. He only reacted now. Looking at the god
bestowed spirit ring in his hand, tears instantly rolled down. Even though
Tang San only stayed for a short time, in his heart Ji Xiang was shouting
wildly. Teacher didn’t forget me, he still remembers me, but why did teacher
leave so soon, I didn’t have time to say anything, to show you the hidden
weapons techniques I’ve practiced.
Kneeling in the sand, Ji Xiang, crawled forward a few steps. As he became
aware he couldn’t possibly catch up to Tang San, he threw himself flat,
kowtowing in the direction Tang San left.
“Ji Xiang, what are you doing?” A familiar woman’s voice sounded behind him.
Still garbed entirely in purple, Purple Pearl arrived next to Ji Xiang in a
few bounds, her voice a bit puzzled: “Just now the brothers reported that they
saw some golden blue light fly towards our Purple Pearl Island, did you see
it?”
Ji Xiang still knelt in the sand, muttering: “Teacher, that was teacher.”
Purple Pearl pulled Ji Xiang upright, “What did you say? It was Tang San? He,
they?” Purple Pearl asked a bit excited.
Not so long ago, the word “man” was synonymous to “filth” in her heart. But,
that man, still left her with too deep an impression. Six years had gone by,
but she was still unable to forget the scene of him fighting to save his
comrades. His calm ease, the strength with which he suppressed her, as well as
the coldly detached expression, still vivid.
“Teacher left.” Ji Xiang wiped the tears from his face, speaking in a
trembling voice, he slowly looked at Purple Pearl, “Big sis, did you know,
teacher said, afterwards I can tell others, I’m the Seagod’s disciple.”
Purple Pearl stared at him, “The Seagod……”
…...
Jialing Pass.
Close to a month had passed, and the walls of Jialing Pass were already
repaired. Only the moat outside still didn’t draw river water. After the
Spirit Empire army cleaned up the corpses from the moat, they dammed the river
and raised large numbers of sharpened stakes. Even though this defense was
nowhere as good as water, at least it wouldn’t be as strong. The scene of
Tang San using the river water to attack the fortress in the great battle
really was too shocking, leading to the Spirit Empire army basically not
daring to fill it up again.
Even though the walls of Jialing Pass were mended, compared to before, there
were a lot of visible patches. That exterior appearance really was less than
impressive. Of course, to the Spirit Empire, that wasn’t what was important.
The real defensive power of the walls was what they needed now.
In the last month, the Heaven Dou Empire army had retreated fifty li,
constructing a carefully planned camp and all sorts of defensive
installations, but they still hadn’t taken the initiative to attack again. The
sight gave the defenders the feeling that they were preparing for a protracted
war.
Within Jialing Pass, ever since Bibi Dong was forced back to Spirit City by
the six priests, the army here had been under their command. And as the second
priest, Golden Crocodile Douluo had definitely become the highest authority in
Jialing Pass.
Golden Crocodile Douluo was of course happy to see the Heaven Dou Empire pull
back their camp and settle in for a long war. After all, them six priests knew
that Qian Renxue was undergoing the trials of the God of Angels. Their purpose
in coming here wasn’t to help the Spirit Empire rout the Heaven Dou Empire,
but rather to seize the leadership from Bibi Dong’s hands. Steadily guarding
Jialing Pass was enough. And now it seemed their mission was well completed.
In close to a month, the Heaven Dou Empire had never taken the initiative to
attack, and Golden Crocodile Douluo had once sent small spirit master teams to
quietly investigate, but never gained anything. The Heaven Dou Empire’s flying
pure speed type spirit masters were too fast, and their eyesight was
astonishing. In order to benefit the defense of Jialing Pass, fortifying the
defenses and razing the land for the enemy, the land in front of the pass was
a vast plain. In order to approach the Heaven Dou imperial army camp under
such circumstances was no doubt extremely difficult. After a few failures,
Golden Crocodile Douluo might as well not send
anyone else. He just ordered the Spirit Empire defenders in the pass to
restore the defenses and clean up the moat, and at the same time used the
spirit master legions to tightly control the military leadership of the
various kingdoms, and reinforce training.
He had no fear of a protracted war. Even leaving aside Qian Renxue arriving
after becoming god, the millions of soldiers on the other side consumed an
astronomical amount of provisions and supplies every day. Meanwhile Jialing
Pass had plenty of rations, and with the Spirit Empire behind them, supply was
much easier.
Were it not for the Heaven Dou Empire really having a lot of powers to
intimidate him, especially Tang San and his father, Golden Crocodile Douluo
might have quietly brought a few priests over to the other side of the empire
to deal with the Star Luo Empire army.
Golden Crocodile Douluo was aged and experienced, and decided to first settle
down Jialing Pass before anything else. Partly because it really wouldn’t be
easy for the Star Luo Empire to break through on the other side, and partly to
wrestle control over the army here and wait for Qian Renxue’s arrival. As long
as Qian Renxue successfully inherited divinity and stood before both armies,
no matter how many mid and low level spirit masters supported Bibi Dong,
authority over the Spirit Empire would still be wrested back. As for the
Heaven Dou imperial army, that was even less of an issue. With a god level
power to lead them, destroying the Heaven Dou Empire was as easy as turning
over a palm.
Golden Crocodile Douluo was just now leading the other five priests on the
walls, gazing towards the distant Heaven Dou army camp.
“Is there news from Spirit City?” Golden Crocodile Douluo asked.
The priests next to him had just been convened, and they of course understood
what Golden Crocodile Douluo meant. The fifth priest carefully lowered his
voice, his expression excited: “Second brother, it might have succeeded. I
just got word that roughly a month ago, there was a manifestation in our
Spirit City. There was a scene of violent golden light
shooting to the sky, with a sacred aura like a god descending. I think the
young mistress should have succeeded.”
Listening to the fifth priest, Golden Crocodiel Douluo still wasn’t excited,
rather frowning, “What did you say? A month ago? Not good, something might
have gone wrong.” While speaking, his expression changed a bit.
The fifth priest said doubtfully: “Second brother, no way. According to the
information, it should definitely have been the young mistress succeeding!”
Golden Crocodile Douluo shook his head, lowering his voice: “Back then the
high priest instructed me that if the young lady completed the divinity
inheritance, she would instantly rush over to Jialing Pass to convene with us.
If the young lady really successfully inherited the God of Angels, a whole
month would already have gone by, so why hasn’t she come yet? I fear…….”
The fourth priest said: “Second brother, aren’t you overthinking it? Didn’t
the high priest say that the young lady had at least an eighty percent chance
of completing the inheritance. None of us understand the circumstances of
inheriting divinity. I think since she has become god, the divine power is so
enormous that even the young lady might need some time to fully absorb it
after completing the inheritance and familiarize herself with all the god
level abilities. She might be delayed because of this.”
Golden Crocodile Douluo’s expression eased a bit, nodding: “That’s possible.
You’re right, we don’t know the circumstances of inheriting divinity. I hope
the young lady can rush over soon. Like that, we’ll also have a supporting
pillar. My greatest wish is to be able to help the young lady unify the
continent.”
“Second brother, look, what’s that?” The third priest to the side suddenly
pointed. His spirit made his eyesight the strongest. The six priests all
looked in the direction he pointed, to see a golden speck of light growing
brighter and brighter on the horizon.
Chapter 322
The gazes of the six priests all turned in the direction of that golden light.
It wasn’t that the light was growing brighter and brighter, but rather that it
was getting closer and closer to Jialing Pass. With its speed, it had already
grown ten times in practically just the time it took the priest to mention it.
As they watched, they could already nearly see it clearly.
“That’s……” The second priest gazed into the distance, instantly growing
excited. At more than a hundred years of age, he couldn’t resist shouting
excitedly, “It’s the miss! That’s the miss, she did it. Hurry up and look, the
Angelic Raiment, isn’t that the Angelic Raiment of our Spirit Hall? The symbol
of the God of Angels, the miss really did it, haha, excellent, truly
excellent, now let’s see how the Heaven Dou Empire can still fight us.”
The intense golden light gradually lit up the entire sky, visible not only to
the people on the walls, but all the Spirit Empire troops in Jialing Pass
began to notice the strange phenomenon.
Six wings unfurled, Qian Renxue’s expression was ice cold, the Angelic Raiment
blossoming with dazzling light. At this moment, looking up at the sky from
Jialing Pass, the brilliance of the sun was gone, leaving only that dazzling
God of Angels.
The six priests looked at each other, their minds in tune, exhaling
simultaneously, pouring all their spirit power into their voices, shouting at
the sky, “Angelic—— Descent——!”
How loud the voices of six Title Douluo above rank ninety five shouting with
all their strength was had to be heard to be understood. The Spirit Empire
troops stationed on the walls fell like cut wheat, shocked unconscious. Their
voices enveloped all of Jialing Pass, and even passed into the distance. Even
if it couldn’t reach a hundred li, it did reach the opposing Heaven Dou army
camp, and shocked all of Jialing Pass.
The numerous Spirit Empire defenders had already been captivated by the golden
sky, and now that they heard the shouts of the priests, they immediately held
their breath, watching the beautiful angel descend from the sky with
disbelief. The common soldiers that weren’t spirit masters couldn’t resist
kneeling in worship under the intense divine sense pressure, and such a
phenomenon spread through all of Jialing Pass like a plague. Even the people
in the Spirit Empire spirit master legions all knelt when they saw this scene.
Because Spirit City was the capital of the Spirit Empire, every time they had
advanced a trial, they had all seen that angel statue filled with a sacred
presence, and the six winged angel descending from the sky now, plus the
incredible divine sense pressure, these spirit masters were all wild with joy.
They understood that this would be a powerful ally.
The second priest led the other five in taking a few steps back, trembling
falling to one knee, speaking respectfully to Qian Renxue hanging in midair,
her phoenix eyes radiating power: “The Spirit Empire Sacrificial Palace six
priests, pays our respects to the God of Angels.”
When even the six great priests were kneeling, those still remaining conscious
on top of the walls no longer hesitated. There was no longer anyone standing
in Jialing Pass, all bowed.
Qian Renxue said calmly: “All priests please rise.” She’d feigned being the
crown prince of the Heaven Dou Empire for years, and with her god level
presence, an arrogant dignity imperceptibly spread out. She now slowly
descended from the sky, slowly landing on the walls, withdrawing the six angel
wings behind her. With a wave of her hands, a golden ripple spread out with
her as center, and the soldiers knocked unconscious by the six priests just
now all regained consciousness, one by one quickly
crouching. Those who were conscious also felt a warmth spread through them,
exceptionally comfortable.
This was divine sense. Incomparably formidable divine sense. The presence of a
god instantly conquered the hearts of everyone on the walls. Qian Renxue was
beyond powerful, and even more stunning, but this didn’t give them any wayward
thoughts, only heartfelt reverence.
The six priests got up one after another. Golden Crocodile Douluo walked up to
Qian Renxue in a few steps, whispering: “Miss, you succeeded?”
Qian Renxue nodded slightly, a sparkling teardrop flashing in her eye,
“Grandfather…….”
Golden Crocodile Douluo’s eyes burned with excitement, his voice trembling:
“The high priest abandoned himself to make you a god. After so many years, my
Spirit Hall finally has a god level power. Don’t worry miss, the high priest
watches from Haven. Seeing you now he will definitely be completely content.”
Qian Renxue shook her head slightly. If not for Tang San, she might have
thought Golden Crocodile Douluo was right. But she wasn’t the only god that
would appear on this battlefield. She had a kind of incredibly conflicted mood
towards Tang San. The seed of defeat he had planted in her heart had long
since sprouted.
“Second priest, tell me how Jialing Pass is now. Bibi Dong?” Qian Renxue’s
voice turned cold, and despite Golden Crocodile Douluo’s cultivation, he
couldn’t help trembling in front of her boundless divine sense.
“After we six arrived, Bibi Dong had already been seriously wounded in battle
by a person called Tang San from the Heaven Dou Empire, and we used the
opportunity to assume authority over the army. We have already sent back Bibi
Dong to Spirit City under guard by our people to heal. We six are temporarily
in command here, and now that miss has returned, the
command will naturally be turned over to you. Once we’ve repelled the Heaven
Dou army, we together will endorse you to
Qian Renxue’s brows not only wrinkled somewhat on mention of Bibi Dong,
especially after hearing that Bibi Dong was injured by Tang San, for some
reason she felt stifled, muttering: “Tang San, Tang San yet again. You really
are my nemesis!”
“Miss, you……” Golden Crocodile Douluo looked a bit confused at Qian Renxue.
Qian Renxue returned to her senses, speaking calmly: “Priests, the whole army
goes to battle tomorrow.”
Golden Crocodile Douluo had been waiting for those words, loudly agreeing,
“This time we will definitely thoroughly rout that Heaven Dou imperial army.”
The corners of Qian Renxue’s mouth unconsciously moved. Thoroughly rout? Is it
really that easy? Only if that person doesn’t appear. When events were already
at this stage there was no chance for her to delay, this battle would begin
sooner or later. She didn’t know whether Tang San had already returned to the
Heaven Dou army. No matter what, the battle tomorrow should be the time to
settle things. Tang San, that’s right, you did leave a seed of defeat in my
heart, but even if I can’t defeat you, don’t tell me I can’t drag you into
death? Since I can’t conquer you while alive, then I will in another world
after death. Even if you are the nemesis of my life, I will still bring you
down with me.
Intense fighting spirit radiated from Qian Renxue’s eyes. The mindset of
burning both jade and common stone together had given her the courage to come
to Jialing Pass. Qian Renxue thought, Oh, Tang San, I will teach you how
powerful a god can be when betting their life. Don’t you quite love that Xiao
Wu? I won’t let you be together, I’ll pull you into death without touching
her, you can only be with me, even if it’s in death.
Turning, Qian Renxue gazed at the Heaven Dou army encampment. The six priests
didn’t notice a kind of hysterical madness flash in her eyes.
The Heaven Dou army camp wasn’t calm either, as the Tang Sect Speed Hall
disciples had returned with the news. Actually, even without their
information, a lot of people on the Heaven Dou Empire side had seen the
spectacle at Jialing Pass just now.
The Heaven Dou Emperor Xue Beng immediately convened the ranking officers in
the great tent. The Heaven Dou Empire powers as well as the army commanders,
marshal Ge Long and the others all showed up.
After Xue Beng took the main seat, he waved his hand, “Everyone be seated.” Of
course, his words didn’t intend for everyone in the tent to sit, only a
handful of people were able to sit here. On the army side, only marshal Ge
Long was so privileged, and on the other side, the one sitting in the first
seat was the Heaven Dou imperial tutor, commander of the Heaven Dou Empire
spirit master legion, Grandmaster Yu Xiaogang.
After Yu Xiaogang was the Clear Sky School master Tang Xiao, and even further
was naturally Clear Sky Douluo, King Lan Hao Tang San’s father Tang Hao. In
succession after that was Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School master Ning
Fengzhi, Sword Douluo Chen Xin, Bone Douluo Gu Rong, Poison Douluo Dugu Bo,
the Title Douluo level powers. Only people at their level were entitled to
seats here.
Xue Beng turned to Grandmaster, Tang Hao and the others: “Suddenly convening
everyone is due to the sudden change in the direction of Jialing Pass. A ball
of extremely bright golden light landed there. According to the reports of the
Tang Sect Speed Hall disciples, that was a woman radiating an extremely
powerful presence, making them not dare approach. They vaguely heard shouts of
‘angelic descent’. You are all outstanding talents of a generation of the
spirit master world, what is going on?”
The first to frown was Grandmaster. He definitely wasn’t the strongest spirit
master, but he was absolutely the most knowledgeable one. When someone had
notified him of the golden light appearing before, he had left his tent to
look towards Jialing Pass. The other were all the same. Ordinary soldiers
might not have felt it, and even relatively low level spirit masters
might not have thought anything further, but people like the Tang brothers, as
well as all the Title Douluo, all felt intensely restless.
When that golden light appeared, everyone had felt a heavy rock in their
hearts, unable to breathe. Such circumstances happening for the peak powers of
the spirit master world clearly wasn’t normal.
When Xue Beng saw that none of them spoke, and Grandmaster’s expression turned
ugly, he couldn’t help being concerned, “Don’t tell me it’s that the Spirit
Empire high priest Qian Daoliu Teacher spoke of that arrived?”
“It’s not Qian Daoliu. Qian Daoliu is a man. According to the records my
grandfather left behind, he looks like a middle aged man. The Speed Hall
disciples say that was a woman.” The speaker was Clear Sky School master Tang
Xiao. Actually, in their hearts, these powers already had an answer. They just
didn’t want to admit it, and even less say anything to affect morale.
Xue Beng spoke in a low voice: “To be able to emanate such dazzling light that
it shines a hundred li away, and also made me feel choked when I saw it, what
kind of power could reach such a level? Imperial tutor, seniors, please
explain it to me.”
Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School master Ning Fengzhi sighed, “There’s no way
to hide it. Your Majesty, according to our observations, the energy released
by that golden light definitely
“Rank one hundred?” Whether Xue Beng or marshal Ge Long and those ranking
officers, none could help drawing a cold breath at Ning Fengzhi’s words. They
didn’t clearly understand what rank one hundred meant, but they still
extremely clearly knew the effects of formidable spirit masters on the
battlefield. Tang San had relied on his strength alone to practically reverse
the course of the entire war, and he was just rank ninety something. Even
more, rank one hundred implied another meaning as well!
Xue Beng swallowed with some difficulty, “School master Ning, you mean to say
that, the Spirit Empire, has a, god?”
At his mention of the word ‘god’, the entire tent was in an uproar. Even
though this was the great tent of the emperor, the instant panic it caused
made them all cry out.
“Silence.” Marshal Ge Long shouted, suppressing the voices of the officers.
But their expressions didn’t change, each and all revealing panic.
Xue Beng also couldn’t help feeling unstable. No matter how intelligent and
farsighted he was, he was after all barely thirty. Facing such disastrous
news, how could he not also panic? Even though he still forced himself to calm
down, he couldn’t keep his gaze from flickering, his hands tightly grasping
the table in front of him, his expression dark.
Tang Hao said: “School master Ning is right, that might be a god. Moreover,
from the energy that golden light released, it should have inherited the power
of Spirit Hall’s Angelic God, addressed as God of Angels. According to the
accounts of the Clear Sky School, Spirit Hall has a complete suit of six
spirit bones, called the Angelic Raiment. It’s said that if someone can absorb
all these six spirit bones, then they can break through rank one hundred and
become a god level power. Even though I don’t know who that woman is, I can be
near certain that she is a power that has inherited the Angelic Raiment. Since
the Spirit Empire has such an ally, then they will certainly go to battle
tomorrow. Your Majesty please prepare.”
Even with Tang Hao’s aggressiveness, he still couldn’t help losing some
confidence after sensing the God of Angels’ divine sense earlier. Even if the
Great Sumeru Hammer was even stronger, he still didn’t believe he could
contend with a god. Let alone when Tang San had brought the Shrek Seven Devils
away from the camp, the overall strength here was hollow, and this was also
why the Heaven Dou army had chosen to pull back and guard their camp. If not
for Qian Renxue’s arrival, Tang Hao was confident that the two brothers plus
the other powers here could at least hold off the attack of the Spirit Empire
army in Jialing Pass. But with the appearance of a god level power, the
difference in strength between both sides had instantly changed.
It could be said that one god level power was enough to deal with all the
Heaven Dou Empire powers in the tent. How could the war go on?
Xue Beng’s attitude was still rather stable. Even though this news equally
made him panic a while, he still managed to calm down. He knew that he
couldn’t be confused now, otherwise there might be a rebellion in the army.
But he also understood, how could human strength compete with gods?
Xue Beng forced himself to calm, suddenly showing an easy smile, “No need to
worry everyone, all of this is actually already within the plans of me and
Teacher. Teacher once said that gods are only humans whose strength have
reached a certain level, so they are ultimately still human. As long as
they’re human, there will be a way to deal with them. Besides, I just learned
that Teacher has already completed his god level inheritance, and he will be
returning to the camp within two days. Once he arrives, let alone a puny
Spirit Empire, even conquering the Douluo Continent will be nothing.
Therefore, no matter how strong the enemy is, we have to block the Spirit
Empire’s counterattack for two days. We must persevere until Teacher returns.
Teacher will definitely lead us to smash Jialing Pass and sweep through the
Spirit Empire.”
At Xue Beng’s declaration, not only did the panic in the eyes of the officers
disappear, even Grandmaster, Tang Hao and the others couldn’t resist showing
excitement, Grandmaster explaiming: “Little San is returning? Truly
excellent.”
As for the military officers, they grinned even wider once they reacted. The
power Tang San had shown on the battlefield had deeply shocked them, not only
reversing the course of a battle single handedly, but even the Spirit Empire
empress Bibi Dong had been wounded by his hand. It might be said that nobody
could compare to Tang San’s prestige in the army. Xue Beng’s announcement had
doubtless ignited their confidence.
Xue Beng smiled calmly: “Generals, you might have noticed that my Teacher,
king Lan Hao, hasn’t showed himself here in close to a month. You’ve
definitely wondered why. Then fine, I’ll tell you now. The reason we
temporarily retreated is because king Lan Hao isn’t in the camp, if we went to
battle in this time, it would clearly be very difficult to win. For the sake
of morale, I ordered this information sealed. Now seems
“We can——” Marshal Ge Long was the first to stand, falling to his knees, “Your
Majesty, as long as one soldier remains, we will never retreat, we will
definitely last until king Lan Hao returns. Death before retreat!”
“Death—— before—— retreat——!” Everyone’s confidence was now mobilized.
Thinking of Tang San’s power on the battlefield, they were filled with
confidence, shouting together with marshal Ge Long, falling to their knees
with a crash.
Xue Beng nodded with satisfaction: “Marshal Ge Long, I will leave the
arrangements for tomorrow’s battle to you. This battle of endurance, the
Empire will win.”
Marshal Ge Long stood sharply, turning to the crowd, roaring: “The Empire will
win!”
Immediately, cries of certain victory resounded in the tent, the panic from
Qian Renxue’s appearance completely obliterated. At Xue Beng’s gesture,
marshal Ge Long personally led everyone from the tent, going to plan out the
troop formation of tomorrow’s battle.
Once they had all left, Grandmaster asked excitedly: “Your Majesty, when will
little San return? How come he didn’t notify us?”
Xue Beng’s zealous expression now melted away like snow. Waving his hand, he
sent away the servants and sighed, bitterly shaking his head: “I don’t know.”
“What?” Grandmaster was stunned, Tang Hao, Tang Xiao, Ning Fengzhi and the
others all stood in shock.
Xue Beng waved his hand, gesturing at them to sit down, “Imperial Tutor,
seniors, you all saw the situation just now. If I didn’t give the troops some
hope, I fear the army would disperse without a fight. I didn’t receive news
from Teacher, and I’m even less sure he can arrive in time.”
Grandmaster’s expression immediately turned unsightly, “However, Your Majesty,
this is just quenching your thirst with poison. If little San can’t return in
time, we basically don’t have the capital to withstand the Spirit Empire. We
might not even last tomorrow’s battle!”
Ning Fengzhi said: “Your Majesty, Grandmaster is right. We don’t know if king
Lan Hao can return in time, and rather than face an enemy we can’t defeat, it
would be better to temporarily escape. How about fighting again once king Lan
Hao returns?”
Xue Beng shook his head, his gaze instantly turning resolute, “We can’t
retreat. Troops in defeat are like a landslide. If we withdraw, we might no
longer stand a chance. Just in case I retreat tonight, and Teacher returns
tomorrow, and we have to fight the enemy in the middle of retreat, wouldn’t
that be even more hopeless? Even if Teacher successfully completes the
inheritance, he’s also a god level power. With my army ruined in retreat,
facing an enemy on the same level as him, it might be difficult to win. Taking
a step back, meaning to disrespect, just in case Teacher doesn’t return, what
would be the point of us retreating? Pursued by the Spirit Empire army led by
that god, we might not last even days. It would be better to risk it all in
one battle. For every day we endure, Teacher has one day to return. If we
really can’t persevere, at least I’ll die on the battlefield. I can’t die in
retreat. An emperor dead in battle rather than a fleeing coward.”
At Xue Beng’s words, everyone including Tang Hao only felt one thing, shock.
Without a doubt, Xue Beng’s strength was nothing more than an insect before
them, and his position as Emperor could even be said to have fallen into his
hands. As for him regarding Tang San as a Teacher, to Tang Hao it seemed that
this was just him wanting to use Tang San’s strength. None of these powers
really thought highly of him, they only showed him respect for his position.
But at this moment, everyone’s attitudes suddenly turned completely around.
Facing such a crisis, facing an enemy with a god level power, Xue Beng as
Emperor not only showed any timidity, but even had no plans to
retreat. He would actually go all out against the Spirit Empire, meeting force
with force. In fact, making such a choice with the immense contrast in
strength between both sides, really was no different than suicide unless Tang
San could return in time. To have such courage, even if it was on the reckless
side of things, Xue Beng for the first time gained the respect of these
powers.
“Fine——” Tang Hao roared, making the tent ring, his potent aggressiveness
rising spontaneously. Looking straight at Xue Beng, Tang Hao nodded, “Worthy
of my son’s disciple. That’s right, you’re correct, we can only fight to the
death, no fleeing cowards. Then leave that god to me, even if I die I’ll give
her something to remember. What is happy about living, what is bitter about
dying? Living in this world when you can die grandly might not me lucky.”
Tang Xiao smiled, “Second brother, did you forget about me? We brothers
haven’t fought an enemy together in a long time. To stand against a god level
power, even our grandfather never experienced it. We’re even luckier than the
old man!”
Grandmaster laughed out loud, “Even though we can’t drink in the army, Your
Majesty, how about we make an exception today? I’m suddenly very thirsty.”
Xue Beng laughed too, suddenly
An inner servant quickly ran out from the back, whispering somewhat awkwardly
by Xue Beng’s ear. Xue Beng was stunned: “Oh no. For the sake of impartial
military discipline, we weren’t allowed to bring any wine. This……”
Tang Hao laughed: “Oh granddisciple, if you can survive this crisis, I dare
guarantee that you will be the wise ruler of a generation. Let’s have tea,
it’s all the same.”
As emperor, if he was called granddisciple by anyone else, he really wouldn’t
feel very happy. But Xue Beng now felt excited, he understood that these
spirit master world powers had already truly acknowledged him.
“Fine, then tea instead of wine.”
At nightfall, whether in Jialing Pass or the Heaven Dou army, everyone were
busy with hidden preparations. Somber intent quietly rippled across the plains
between the armies. After a month of silence, the last battle was on the verge
of happening due to the sudden arrival of the God of Angels.
An uneventful night, dawn broke.
Before the Spirit Empire army sortied, at the first glimmers of dawn, war
drums already roared through the Heaven Dou army camp.
Dong dong dong, dong dong dong, dong dong dong dong dong dong dong.
Cowhide war drums erupted with ear splitting booms in the hands of strong men,
at least a thousand drums resounded in the million man army. All the camp
gates opened wide, the army spilling out like a tidal wave.
The first to charge out of the camp were the light cavalry. The light cavalry
was stationed on the wings of the army, and they now rushed out of the camp
like two swiftly unfurling wings of the Heaven Dou army.
Immediately after came the central army infantry, light infantry in front,
heavy infantry in the back, neatly marching into the battlefield with powerful
strides.
On either side of the central army was the Tang Army as well as the Heaven Dou
Empire spirit master legion led by the brothers Tang Xiao and Tang Hao. The
reason for the switch was that a lot of the Tang Army elites came from the
four single attribute clans. Their grievances with the Clear Sky School still
existed, and in order not to influence the battle, the commanders were
switched.
Behind the central army was the absolute main force of the Heaven Dou army,
the heavy cavalry legions. In this battle, the Heaven Dou army had come out in
force, more than ten armored cavalry legions guarded the last
infantry to leave the camp as two wings. A million heroes spread their wings,
majestically pressing in on Jialing Pass.
A million troops! In this moment, the intense pressure made the defenders in
Jialing Pass feel choked. Facing such a vast force from the Heaven Dou Empire,
even Qian Renxue couldn’t help frowning as she stood on the walls. Even though
she had already advanced to become god, the force she radiated alone couldn’t
contend with a million soldiers.
Right now Qian Renxue could feel herself wavering, had Tang San returned? If
not, why would the Heaven Dou army come out in full force with this timing?
“Pass down my orders, open the city, sortie.” Qian Renxue shouted.
“Yes.” The six priests accepted the orders simultaneously. However, their
orders were still a bit late. The defenders of Jialing Pass were already a
scared by the Heaven Dou army, even the Spirit Hall spirit master legions were
no exception. As they saw the Heaven Dou imperial army’s unprecedented
pressure, how could they not feel their hearts tremble? However, under the
pressure of the spirit master legions, with the urging of the six priests, the
Spirit Empire troops still unwillingly assembled.
The gates of Jialing Pass swung open, an army of altogether a hundred thousand
surged out.
A hundred thousand already sounded a lot, but facing a million troops, a lot
of the Spirit Empire soldiers already felt their legs tremble before the
battle had even begun. From their perspective, what was the difference with
throwing away their lives?
Just as Qian Renxue prepared to lead the Spirit Empire powers onto the field
and encourage their troops, suddenly, a long cry like a dragon’s cry or
tiger’s roar whistled over like a giant wave surging at the skies.
“Where is Qian Renxue?” Along with that cry, from the side of the Heaven Dou
army, a ball of golden blue light instantly grew, in the blink of
an eye already arriving above. Hidden by that golden blue light, seven
silhouettes appeared in the sky.
The leader was entirely dressed in golden blue armor, eight dazzling wave and
cloud patterned wings unfolded behind him, a three pronged Seagod helmet on
his head, holding the Seagod Trident, the inheritor of the Seagod’s divinity,
Tang San.
Tang San pointed the Seagod Trident straight at Jialing Pass, his tremendous
divine sense targeting Qian Renxue in practically an instant.
“Seagod Tang San is present, where is Qian Renxue?” Tang San issued a shout,
his tremendous divine sense dropping from the sky like a wave. The Heaven Dou
army only felt a graceful drizzle, their energy instantly rising to a peak.
The originally already boundless imposing manner rose to an even higher peak
as Tang San deliberately announced his status as Seagod.
Drawing on the condensed faith of a million heroes, Tang San’s imposing manner
also climbed to the limit, a circle of golden blue light spreading out around
him. to him, Dai Mubai, Xiao Wu and the others were escorted to the front of
the army by the Seagod’s power. Each of them simultaneously released nine
spirit rings, and especially the last hundred thousand year red spirit ring
was so dazzling.
Chapter 323
Just as the Heaven Dou army sortied the camp, preparing to fight the Spirit
Empire army to the death, Tang San and his comrades finally returned just in
time .
After defeating Qian Renxue, he only delayed for a few hours to help his
friends complete their spirit ring absorption, and after a short stop on
Purple Pearl Island, they immediately set off and hurried back . And because
Tang San injured Qian Renxue, delaying her return and forcing her to rest and
recuperate for a night, this made Tang San able to return in time for the
battle .
Tang San’s Seagod’s power abruptly appearing above the Heaven Dou army empire
made Qian Renxue’s heart sink, clenghing her fists . But the Heaven Dou army’s
side was a different matter altogether .
Seeing Tang San and the other six devils returning, Xue Beng almost fainted
from his horse with joy . He’d repeatedly prayed for Tang San to return, and
when it actually happened, his happiness was indescribable . He even like mad
drew his imperial sword and shouted at the sky:
“The Seagod descends, long live king Lan Hao!”
His shout immediately roused the Heaven Dou army that was still somewhat dazed
from Tang San’s appearance . They might be puzzled by the Seagod Raiment Tang
San wore, but the Seagod Trident he held couldn’t be faked . Seeing Tang San
raise the Seagod Trident, his whole
body growing even more dazzling than before, the splendorous Seagod Raiment
releasing an intense presence that immediately made the Heaven Dou soldiers’
eyes fill with a zealous light . They might not understand why His Majesty
called king Lan Hao Seagod, but they definitely believed that with the
guidance of king Lan Hao, they would defeat the Spirit Empire .
And Xue Beng’s shout of “long live” undoubtedly placed Tang San on the same
level as him, and even above him . This might be inappropriate, but Tang San
appearing definitely foretold the tides changing . With him, the entire Heaven
Dou army’s million heroes had a backbone, with him, this battle was no longer
suicidal, but rather a major opportunity to annihilate the enemy .
Tang Hao excitedly raised his fist, looking at his son in the air his heart
filled with pride . A god, yes, his son had finally inherited the Seagod, and
returned at the critical juncture .
Grandmaster was even more excited than Tang Hao . Tang San was the disciple he
had raised, whom he had taught all his knowledge . As he now saw Tang San had
broken through the rank one hundred barrier, appearing in the sky emanating
immense divine power, Grandmaster couldn’t keep all sorts of feelings from
welling up . In his heart he shouted madly, Father, grandfather, how good it
would be if you were still alive . Yu Xiaogang isn’t a cripple, I’m not an
embarrassment to the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, even if my spirit is
crippled, I’ve raised a god, a god!
Despite being on the battlefield, Grandmaster’s eyes filled with tears . He
had always waited for this day to come . And now that it did, and came at such
a critical moment, he could no longer hold back his excitement . His whole
life was a tragedy, and reaching this day hadn’t been easy . Now seeing the
god level Tang San, all of Grandmaster’s misery went up in smoke . Raising
this disciple was the pride of his life .
“Long—— live—— the—— Seagod——, long—— live—— king—— Lan—— Hao—— . ” The Tang
Army’s Strength, Speed, Defense and Medicine Hall masters were first to follow
Xue Beng’s exclamation, immediately followed by the entire Heaven Dou army
with a cry like a
landslide . That incomparably powerful imposing manner made the six high
priests on the walls of Jialing Pass immediately change expressions .
Before the battle had even begun, the imposing manner of both sides was
already as different as heaven and earth . Even peak powers like them felt
different before such a scene . After all, human power was limited, even Title
Douluo didn’t dare say they could battle an army of a million . At most they
could escape unharmed . But in a war like this, Jialing Pass was the critical
point of the Spirit Empire, so how could they run? The confidence that had
filled them with Qian Renuxue’s return had made them certain of victory, but
today they saw not only the the Heaven Dou Empire’s million soldiers
flourishing with imposing manner, but at the same time also Tang San in the
sky, brimming with a presence that made them tremble .
After one month, Tang San gave Golden Crocodile Douluo an entirely different
feeling . When he faced Tang San a month ago he had been astonished, but he
still couldn’t comprehend how Bibi Dong could have been defeated by a youth
that wasn’t even rank ninety five . Especially since Tang San had wasted more
than half his strength at that time, giving Golden Crocodile Douluo even less
of a sense of danger .
However, now that one month had gone by and he saw Tang San again, what Golden
Crocodile Douluo felt had already turned into shock . Because Tang San gave
him a completely immeasurable feeling, just like Qian Renxue next to him .
That infinitely powerful presence enveloped in the Heaven Dou army was like
dotting the eyes on a dragon, and with his appearance the entire Heaven Dou
army’s morale had sublimated to another level . Just this imposing manner
pressed down on Jialing Pass until it felt unstable .
“Miss, he…… . ” Golden Crocodile Douluo asked hesitantly .
Qian Renxue’s expression had already recovered it’s calm . Even though in her
heart she had already known she would meet Tang San again on this
“You’re not mistaken, Tang San has also completed an inheritance . I was late
because I was always pursuing him . Unfortunately, I didn’t succeed, and
finally let him complete the inheritance . He has inherited
the power of the Seagod . Second priest, pass on my orders, withdraw the army
into the pass and seal the gates . At the same time, summon all imperial
spirit masters to the top of the walls, and guard the pass . We cannot let the
Heaven Dou Empire take one step past us . ”
Before the second priest could speak, the third priest couldn’t help
commenting: “Miss, withdrawing the army now might not be so suitable . Morale
is already low, and if we flee before the battle, how can we still fight?”
Qian Renxue gave a cold snort, making the third priest feel his heart tighten,
as if squeezed by a large hand . He staggered back two steps with a muffled
grunt, his face changing color .
“Without withdrawing, what could you still do? When facing a million Heaven
Dou soldiers, don’t tell me you high priests are sure you can win when
outnumbered six to one? Our only chance is to dig in at Jialing Pass . With
Tang San here, you can rely only on your own strength in the battle . ”
The second priest Golden Crocodile Douluo drew a cold breath, setting his
mind, “Miss is right, we can only rely on the solidity of Jialing Pass to
block the Heaven Dou army assault . Pull back the army before they approach,
raise the drawbridges . Put all efforts on defense . Miss, don’t worry and go
deal with that Tang San, leave this place to us . The outcome of the battle
depends on you . ”
Qian Renxue looked face to face with Golden Crocodile Douluo, sighing inwardly
. Of course she understood his meaning . This battle was entirely settled by
which side had a god level power . Even if one god was only injured, it would
still instantly reverse the battle . But, for her to defeat Tang San was as
difficult as climbing to Heaven . Dragging him with her into death might be
the best possible outcome .
Of course, she wouldn’t say what she was thinking . The Spirit Empire’s
already weak morale couldn’t stand another blow .
Floating up, dazzling golden light exploded from Qian Renxue’s whole body, her
divine sense spreading out, covering half the sky in practically an instant,
six golden wings abruptly unfolding behind her, shouting loudly:
“Qian—— Ren——xue—— is—— here——!”
The simple words were completely different when shouted by Qian Renxue, every
syllable brimming with her surging Angelic power, this alone pushing down the
million Heaven Dou soldiers’ excited shouting .
A marvel appeared before Jialing Pass . Half the sky was pure golden, the
other half was crystal clear blue, both colors holding one half .
The divine presence really was too immense . Covered by Qian Renxue’s Angelic
power, the flagging defenders inside Jialing pass were immersed in that warm
power, and were immediately aflame with confidence . They had a kind of
feeling like the Jialing Pass they defended was forged from metal, an
unbreakable superfortress . The warm waves of Angelix power also roused their
instinctive fighting spirit, their blood starting to boil . Even their swift
retreat back into the pass didn’t influence their rising imposing manner .
On the other side, Tang San released an azure halo, and enveloped in this
Seagod power, the Heaven Dou soldiers felt like they turned into a raging
wave, the distant Jialing Pass walls like crumbling fences, fundamentally
unable to stand up to the strike of their ranging wave .
The Angelic power forged the presence of the Spirit Empire defenders into the
strongest shield .
The Seagod power forged the presence of the Heaven Dou Empire army into the
sharpest spear .
When the battle had yet to begin, the strongest of both sides, Tang San and
Qian Renxue, had already started to influence the entire battlefield . It was
also only with god level domains that their divine senses could have such vast
impact, and only such god level power could truly command armies like these .
Rumble—— . The Heaven Dou army marched forward step by step . With each step
they took, the azure light in the air would also move forward a bit, always
hovering above the army, shielding their advance .
The golden light in the sky had no choice but to yield a bit under that azure
pressure .
In the air, Qian Renxue trembled faintly, gazing at the distant Tang San
bathed in blue light, her gaze like a sword . She knew that Tang San’s control
of his Seagod power had advanced yet another step in these few days . With his
abilities being superior to hers in all respects before they became gods,
after inheriting divinity, with all circumstances combined, he was still a
head above her . Despite Qian Renxue already using all her strength, she still
couldn’t stop Tang San’s domain from pushing hers back, constantly leading his
Heaven Dou army forward . At this time, unless she agreed to retreat, her
Angelic Domain would only be constantly constricted
.
The common soldiers didn’t understand strength or weakness of divine power .
The golden light that appeared over Jialing Pass admittedly astonished the
Heaven Dou soldiers, but on their side, the golden light Tang San released
wasn’t any weaker . They couldn’t make sense of divine power, but they could
understand strength . By how the blue light Tang San released constantly
pressure the golden light, the other side unable to do anything about it, Tang
San very clearly held the advantage . In such circumstances,
The Seagod originally relied on the faith of the creatures of the sea to
become god, and even though Tang San didn’t have the belief of as many sea
creatures right now, as the Seagod, the feverish faith of a million soldiers
still instantly made his divine sense unprecedentedly strong . As both sides
closed in on each other, the already suppressed Qian Renxue felt unable to
breathe .
Dazzling Angelic Raiment matched by deep azure Seagod Raiment, Tang San and
Qian Renxue, had already become the focal point of the battle . Facing the
enormous pressure Tang San brought, Qian Renxue finally couldn’t help drawing
her Angelic Sacred Sword . Thrusting the sacred
sword toward the sun, all her divine power bursting forth, a pure golden light
shone down on her from the sun, the dazzling light instantly slowing the pace
of the Heaven Dou army for a moment, Tang San’s Seagod Domain also coming to a
halt because of the several times stronger defense
.
However, Tang San showed a faint smile at the corners of his mouth . With both
sides’ divine sense and domains staked against each other, one side acting
first proved that they already admitted their strength was insufficient .
Being comprehensively dominated undoubtedly made the seed of defeat in Qian
Renxue’s heart sprout .
On the way back, Tang San had already considered all manner of possible
methods Qian Renxue might use once she fought him again, and inwardly also had
some countermeasures . Dragging him into death, was that so easy?
As if agreed upon in advance, at the same time as Qian Renxue turned pure gold
after being enveloped by the True Sunfire, Tang San also raised his Seagod
Trident . Golden and blue, the two colored lights instantly withdrew into
their bodies, and at the same time turned into two intense halos descending
from the sky . Tang San and Qian Renxue also separately charged up into the
sky .
They both understood that a battle of gods was a battle on a different level .
It couldn’t possibly take place in front of human armies, or both sides would
be annihilated . Even if Tang San was stronger than Qian Renxue and the Heaven
Dou Empire’s side would have fewer losses than the Spirit Empire, the
terrifying side effects of god level powers clashing would cause tens of
thousands of deaths . Neither of them wished to see such circumstances .
Consequently, their battle wouldn’t be before the walls of Jialing Pass, but
rather high in the sky .
Six and eight wings beat simultaneously, Tang San and Qian Renxue were a
kilometer up in the blink of an eye, and still climbing . Everything beneath
their feet grew smaller and smaller, but their eyes were always fixed on the
opponent . This battle was crucial to them, whoever could win in this battle
could decide the entire war .
One kilometer, two, three…… Tang San and Qian Renxue climbed the whole way to
a ten kilometer altitude, until they were no longer visible from below, the
vision of soldiers on both sides completely blocked by clouds and the altitude
.
Qian Renxue coldly watched Tang San, doing her best to calm her raging heart,
her eyes bursting with intense killing intent . Just as Tang San expected, her
feelings of defeat had already been strengthened in the previous
confrontation, until she showed signs of being ready to die, then managed to
suppress it . But when facing Tang San, she always had a feeling like he was
far above her .
Tang San smiled slightly, pointing the Seagod Trident to the side, “In today’s
battle, however you and me win or lose, do you believe that the Spirit Empire
still stands a chance? Even if you could keep me from influencing the
battlefield, Jialing Pass will still break . You should have seen that my
comrades have already advanced to Title Douluo, and two have even broken
through rank ninety five, and with the morale of your defenders, there’s no
suspense to this battle . With Jialing Pass broken, the Spirit Empire stands
undefended . Once the Heaven Dou and Star Luo armies link up, the Spirit
Empire will be extinguished . ”
Qian Renxue gave a cold snort, “If you want to fight then fight, since when
did you become so talkative?”
Tang San looked calmly at Qian Renxue, “I only want to inform you that even if
you plan to die and pull me down with you, it will still be impossible . You
can’t do it . Try it if you don’t believe me . ”
Pure golden light flared in Qian Renxue’s eyes, anger, humiliation,
unwillingness, instantly pushed her Angelic power to the peak . With her as
the center, surging angelic flames instantly soared, three hundred meters
high, vast expanses of clouds below them melting away from the heat . If
someone looked carefully, the speck of pure golden power would even be visible
from the battlefield below them .
Facing Qian Renxue’s furious eruption of power, Tang San did nothing, smiling
slightly, “We’re already ten kilometers up . The closer you are to
the sun, the better suited it is for you to fight while absorbing True Sunfire
. Since I came here to fight you, I’m sure I can defeat you . Can fighting in
a place most ideal to you let you wholeheartedly accept your defeat, what do
you say?”
“Drop—— dead——!” Qian Renxue couldn’t take Tang San’s taunting any more . The
three hundred meter True Sunfire behind her instantly condensed into a giant
Angelic Sacred Sword, falling from the sky straight towards Tang San,
distorting and tearing the air, and the pure golden Angelic Domain also
instantly erupted, enough to show that this was Qian Renxue’s
Facing such an attack, Tang San still looked elegant and unhurried, holding
the Seagod Trident upright in front of him, his gaze frozen on the Seagod’s
Heart on the main blade, the Seagod Eight Wings on his back simultaneously
spreading as far as they could, scattering wave-like blue light .
Different from how Qian Renxue’s True Sunfire burned away the clouds below
them, this moment both the white clouds below as well as behind Tang San all
turned into specks of blue light and instantly merged into his Seagod Eight
Wings, becoming the purest water element .
Tang San’s Seagod Eight Wings came from the Eight Spider Lances, and
afterwards their ability to devour and filter energy had geometrically
multiplied under the effect of Tang San’s divine sense . Their absorption
process even surpassed Qian Renxue’s Angelic Six Wings . This wasn’t just the
advantage of two more wings . The Eight Spider Lances was an evolving external
spirit bone, and before Tang San became a god, it’s quality far surpassed any
spirit bone in the Angelic Raiment . Moreover, it had always been one with
Tang San, while Qian Renxue’s Angelic Raiment had been fused with her one by
one as she underwent the divine inheritance
. In terms of unity, Tang San definitely held the advantage .
Even though Tang San’s Seagod Raiment were his own spirit bones transformed by
and filled with the Seagod’s power, and not originally one set like the
Angelic Raiment, the quality of Tang San’s spirit bones still
surpassed a hundred thousand years, so the overall quality was still higher
than Qian Renxue’s Angelic Raiment .
Tang San’s greatest advantage over Qian Renxue was that everything he had were
things he had accumulated drop by drop on his own, while Qian Renxue relied on
Spirit Hall, relied on Qian Daoliu, and even more borrowed strength . This was
also the reason why Tang San’s strength was a head above hers when both were
gods of the same level . It was the real reason Qian Renxue’s strength was
less than Tang San’s in all respects .
While on the way back, Tang San had relied on his divine sense to master all
kinds of abilities, directly becoming one with the identity of Seagod . This
was also the source of his confidence . As for his previous comments, besides
confidence, it was enve more to provoke Qian Renxue . In terms of wisdom, Qian
Renxue was after all a level below Tang San .
Blue light flashed, and Tang San was scattered and smashed beneath the giant
Angelic Sacred Sword, vanishing into nothing . But Qian Renxue still clearly
sensed that this was only a Tang San made from water elements . The real Tang
San floated gracefully a kilometer away, the eight wings on his back beating
softly, looking at her like he was playing . He dodged Qian Renxue’s attack
rather than stiffly meeting it .
If their positions were reversed, it would have been impossible for Qian
Renxue to do the same . If she was targeted by Tang San’s divine sense, she
would have had to stiffly meet Tang San, dodging would have been impossible .
But Tang San was different, his divine sense was above hers, and forcefully
broke her targeting the instant she attacked, then used the water elements
absorbed from the clouds to create a clone, easily leaving Qian Renxue’s
attack range .
Tang San used actions to prove to Qian Renxue that his strength was above her
in all areas, and also constantly nourished the long planted seed of defeat in
her heart .
“Are you scared?” Qian Renxue looked angrily at Tang San, she didn’t know what
was going on, why she couldn’t calm down when she again faced Tang San today .
Tang San’s expression suddenly changed, turning incomparably aggressive, his
crystal clear blue eyes suddenly exploding with a berserk aura, “Afraid? That
word should only be used for you . Take my halberd . ”
Tang San’s sudden change from the previous calm grace to the current wild
aggression left Qian Renxue feeling unwell . But at this moment, surging blue
light was already exploding from Tang San . With a single shake, he grew a
hundred meters tall, the Seagod Trident growing with him, making the simplest
and most direct, but also forceful throwing motion . His Seagod Trident turned
into a blue stream, like a shooting star, screaming straight towards Qian
Renxue .
The instant the Seagod Trident shot out, the light exploding from Tang San,
including the energy that turned him giant, suddenly all infused into the
Seagod Trident . To the eyes of Qian Renxue, the moment this weapon flew from
Tang San’s hand, it seemed to cut the sky in two . Tang San also returned to
normal after it flew off .
Indeed, this was the third form of the Seagod secret skills, One Goes Without
Return . This was the complete version, the true One Goes Without Return .
Tang San’s eyes were as bright as sapphire, fixed on Qian Renxue . Surging
divine intent instantly coalesced, basically never giving Qian Renxue a chance
to dodge, forcing her to meet the strike .
This moment Qian Renxue immediately understood that she had been fooled . What
Tang San said before was all to build an atmosphere, leading to her being
tricked . She’d now just attacked with all her strength, and even though she
had chatted with Tang San a while, and her divine power was quickly
recovering, it still wasn’t back at its peak . And Tang San’s strike was
clearly already charged up, exploding with all its might . With one side
waning and one side waxing, the difference was clear .
But fully aware that she had been tricked, Qian Renxue could do nothing but
meet this attack .
The Sacred Angelic Sword swept
Right now, with Qian Renxue as the center, everything around turned vague .
The Sacred Angelic Sword split into six, the six longswords crossing, then
instantly spinning, aggregating a somewhat conical golden entergy . The
instant all this was done, Tang San’s Seagod Trident also arrived .
An incomparable explosion instantly erupted . Qian Renxue shook, the Angelic
Raiment growing incredibly dazzling, the golden mist she released visibly
rushing behind her like a tidal wave, clearly pushed back by the Seagod
Trident’s attack power .
Meanwhile, a series of glaring sparks also shot from her wildly spinning
Sacred Angelic Swords and the Seagod Trident’s main blade . It was like a
golden fireworks display in midair, making space twist and distort, the golden
light covered a full square li .
Just as Qian Renxue blocked Tang San’s attack and the Seagod Trident’s attack
power was dispersing, an intense energy attack came a second time . The blue
light that was just weakening instead intensified, almost breaking through her
Sacred Angelic Sword formation’s defensive barrier in one go .
What was going on? Qian Renxue was shocked, her original plan was to take
advantage of when the Seagod Trident’s attack power weakened and Tang San
still hadn’t pulled it back to use all her strength to sever the divine sense
connection between Tang San and the Seagod Trident, just like in her first
battle with Tang San after she became a god, and catch the divine weapon .
Without the weapon, Tang San’s strength would at least sink thirty percent,
substantially increasing her chances of winning the fight . But who knew that
this Seagod Trident actually contained such enormous energy, enough to launch
a second attack in circumstances like these .
As the God of Angels, Qian Renxue didn’t have an understanding of the Seagod,
otherwise she wouldn’t be so shocked . This kind of layered wave divine power
was characteristic of the Seagod, waves rising before the previous had
receded, in endless layers . How could this complete version
One Goes Without Return single attack ability end so easily? How could Tang
San give Qian Renxue the chance to take his Seagod Trident again?
Not daring to be neglectful, Qian Renxue focused and used all her strength to
meet attack after attack . The energy Tang San’s Seagod Trident erupted with
had another strike of divine power appearing before the previous had
completely disappeared, with altogether nine waves overlapping . The moment of
the last energy explosion, Qian Renxue was blasted away by that terrifying
divine power explosion, flying headlong several kilometers . And the Seagod
Trident also flew in a wide arc, returning to Tang San’s hand .
Qian Renxue clenched her teeth in midair, forcefully swallowing back a trickle
of blood that threatened escaping the corner of her mouth . She felt
resounding echoes from her Angelic Raiment, intense energy fluctuations
clearly appearing in the Angelic Raiment due to suffering too great a force .
The Sacred Angelic Sword even more rang constantly .
Tang San caught the Seagod Trident, but frowned slightly . He had no intention
of pursuing . He had used all his strength in the attack just now and needed
time to recover . If he rashly pursued and was unable to kill Qian Renxue, her
counter attack definitely wouldn’t leave him feeling any better . The divine
power of the God of Angels was a bit stronger than he had expected . In Tang
San’s original plan, even if this charged attack couldn’t seriously hurt Qian
Renxue, it would at least ruin part of her Angelic Raiment . But now it seemed
that even the Sacred Angelic Sword that had clashed directly wasn’t even
damaged .
Actually, Tang San was overthinking it . His One Goes Without Return really
was formidable, but Qian Renxue’s response had been perfect, and Tang San
faced not only the Sacred Angelic Sword, but Qian Renxue had infused the
Sacred Angelic Sword with the power of all the parts of her Angelic Raiment
the moment the Seagod Trident reached her, the Angelic Raiment simultaneously
clashing with Tang San’s strike, he naturally couldn’t break it . To loosen
the Angelic Raiment was already quite terrifying .
Hong—— Dazzling pure golden flames exploded from Qian Renxue, and Tang San
suddenly felt like the sun had grown in the sky . Qian Renxue and the sun were
connected by a pure gold pillar of light . Qian Renxue grabbed her Sacred
Angelic Sword, and as she caught her balance, her expression had already
changed . Her eyes revealed a coldness that Tang San had never seen in her
before, the God of Angels, the representative of the holy light, now emanated
a smell of death .
Neither side was in any rush to move . Tang San swung his right hand, slashing
out a circle of light with the Seagod Trident . A strange and vague
seven-pointed star appeared beneath his feet, and the Seagod Eight Wings on
his back also seemed to grow transparent, all extending, hanging motionless,
just like carved from sapphire . The ring of light beneath his feet expanded,
shooting behind him, and under the influence of this blue light, one golden
speck of light after another began to appear behind him . Each moment, these
blue lights seemed to multiply, converging into a blue river, flocking towards
the Seagod Eight Wings on Tang San’s back . The scene was like a raging wave
forming in midair .
Chapter 324
Qian Renxue began to absorb the power of True Sunfire regardless of the
consequences, and Tang San didn’t dare hold back either, starting to absorb
the power of the ocean ten kilometers in the air.
This altitude should originally have influenced Tang San a bit, but due to the
existence of the external spirit bone Eight Spider Lances transformed into
Seagod Eight Wings that shouldn’t have been a part of the Seagod Raiment, it
was a lot easier for him to draw on the power of the sea. Even this altitude
didn’t hinder him.
Tang San’s expression was also serious, seeing Qian Renxue didn’t speak again,
he could tell that she really was doing her utmost. Her Angelic Raiment was no
longer golden, it had actually turned completely fiery red, and even inscribed
pattern was a bit vague due to how much True Sunfire she was absorbing. In
fact, absorbing True Sunfire regardless of the consequences like this, with
the slightest mistake in control, she might self combust. How would she do
something like this unless the circumstances were like this?
Two gods faced each other in the air, and on the ground the curtains were
already drawn on the battle.
As Tang San and Qian Renxue flew up at the same time, the soldiers on both
sides of course also simultaneously lost the god level domain shrouding them.
On the Heaven Dou Army side, the high morale only slowed a bit, while the
Spirit Empire defenders seemed to have lost their
backbone. After all, their morale was just too suppressed before, and the time
the Angelic Domain covered them still wasn’t enough to reverse the contrast.
This was also why Tang San relied on his Seagod Domain to press in step by
step, forcing Qian Renxue to set herself against him prematurely. He
definitely didn’t want to let the momentum he’d built up be changed by Qian
Renxue. And Qian Renxue had no choice, she could only join battle with Tang
San ahead of time.
Xue Beng, overseeing the army, could be said to be the most excited person in
the Heaven Dou Empire million man army. He had never expected that his white
lie would actually come true at the crucial moment. And this change also
forcefully pulled his mind back from deathly stillness. He could of course
tell that Tang San held the advantage against Qian Renxue. Moreover, returning
with Tang San were also the other six devils that had already become Title
Douluo level. The battle where he’d originally planned to bet everything had
now become an ideal opportunity to completely vanquish the enemy. How could
Xue Beng give up this chance?
As Xue Beng drew his imperial sword, holding it high, shouting with nearly all
his strength, Tang San’s name had already risen to an incomparable position in
his heart. Tang San’s appearance today had not only changed the course of the
battle, but could also be said to have saved the entire Heaven Dou Empire!
Even though Xue Beng’s “long live” shout had been a bit impulsive, he didn’t
regret it at all, because to him, Tang San was definitely deserving.
“Heaven Dou Empire, our grand King Lan Hao has already cultivated to divinity,
in today’s battle, before Jialing Pass, we won’t give the enemy another
chance. We will use the blood of our enemies and possession of Jialing Pass to
celebrate our patron saint of the empire, King Lan Hao. All forces charge!”
The full attack order passed down, and Xue Beng wasn’t the only person whose
blood boiled, all the soldiers in the Heaven Dou Army now felt certain of
victory. Tang San had already several times showed what was meant by an
undefeatable legend in front of them, and Xue Beng calling him patron saint of
the empire was just what these soldiers were thinking.
One million heroes began a thundering assault, from the highest commander
marshal Ge Long, to the lowest level five man commanders, everyone was
incomparably excited. Legions in formation started to separate on the vast
plain, pressing in step by step towards Jialing Pass.
The Shrek Six Devils charged at the very front, Dai Mubai furthest ahead,
becoming the arrowhead of a million men. The other five followed by his side.
They had already eaten Oscar’s strengthened flying mushroom sausage, two pairs
of illusory wings beating on their backs as Jialing Pass came closer and
closer.
The brothers Tang Hao and Tang Xiao glanced at each other, thinking the same
thing. The two leapt up simultaneously, arriving at the front of the army in
practically a few leaps, pitch black Clear Sky Hammers appearing in their
hands, standing side to side with the Shrek Six Devils.
How to avoid as many casualties on the battlefield as possible? Without a
doubt, most important was settling the outcome between the strongest. Tang Hao
and Tang Xiao deeply knew this point.
The walls of Jialing Pass, without a doubt, were defended mostly by spirit
masters. Breaking their defense was impossible by relying only on soldiers.
Once spirit masters reached a certain level, fighting one against a hundred
really wasn’t difficult, let alone with the solid walls of Jialing Pass.
Consequently, the collision between powers would become most important. Only
by killing the strongest spirit masters on the other side leading the powers
of their side, was it possible to break Jialing Pass as soon as possible.
Tang Hao and his brother weren’t the only ones who knew this. Poison Douluo
Dugu Bo, Sword Douluo Chen Xin, Bone Douluo Gu Rong, Seven Treasure Glazed
Tile School master Ning Fengzhi, as well as the four Tang Sect hall masters
were already charging forward. Adding the Shrek Six Devils, more than
They say that experts are bold, and that they dared attack like this when
Jialing Pass held several tens of thousands of Spirit Empire spirit masters,
clearly showed they had this confidence.
On top of Jialing Pass, watching the enemy army approach, the hundred year old
Golden Crocodile Douluo’s eyes were a bit red, roaring, “Spirit masters below
rank eighty disperse, the rest come with me to annihilate these ignorant
children!” Spirit masters above rank eighty couldn’t simply be counted in
quantity. During the Spirit Empire’s war with the Heaven Dou Empire, the
losses of spirit masters was disastrous. In fact, cultivating spirit masters
wasn’t easy, and Golden Crocodile Douluo didn’t want to expose the spirit
masters under his command to unnecessary risks, leading to grievous harm.
As they say, soldiers against soldiers, generals against generals. If Tang San
and Qian Renxue were kings against kings, then what was happening here was a
battle of generals.
Jialing Pass was coming closer and closer, Dai Mubai shouted: “Leave those six
priests to us. The rest is up to you seniors.” While speaking, Dai Mubai faced
upwards and roared wildly, his seventh spirit ring suddenly brightening. His
whole body suddenly expanded, growing golden fur. In the blink of an eye, he
had turned into a ten meter long giant tiger, all the fur erect like metal
needles, nine spirit rings erupting. Especially the last red hundred thousand
year spirit ring gave people a hair-raising feeling. His evil eyes savage, his
hind legs pushed against the ground, instantly crossing the moat, becoming the
first to lunge onto the walls of Jialing Pass.
Along with Dai Mubai came a loud and resonant phoenix cry, dazzling red light
shooting towards the sky, a figure as enormous as Dai Mubai glittering in the
air, nine phoenix heads crying, its giant wings roiling with heat. Phoenix
Douluo Ma Hongjun’s spirit avatar, Nine Headed Fire Phoenix.
This was still only the beginning. Even more dazzling lights followed, rushing
out along with Dai Mubai and Ma Hongjun, a black stream of light quietly
following Dai Mubai. That illusory silhouette basically couldn’t be seen
clearly, like it was Dai Mubai’s shadow. At the same time as her, Oscar ate a
clone mirror sausage, his body shaking, actually taking the same appearance as
Dai Mubai, his imposing manner not weaker at all, leaping onto the walls
closly behind the white tiger.
Pink light exploded along with them, and in that pink cloud Xiao Wu’s body
multiplied. Her spirit avatar actually didn’t turn her into a bunny, but
rather caused six silhouettes identical to her to appear next to her, only
condensed from pink light, guarding at her side. With light and shadow
flickering, the seven figures leapt towards the walls simultaneously.
Xiao Wu’s spirit avatar was different from Tang San, Dai Mubai and the
others’. She had cultivated from a hundred thousand year spirit beast, once
her strength broke through, she had turned completely from beast to human.
Even though her spirit was still a Soft Bones Rabbit, due to her beast form
being completely refined into a human, when she used spirit avatar she
couldn’t possibly turn back into her spirit form. These six clones each
possessed seventy percent of her strength, but could only act according to
instinct, mainly protecting Xiao Wu herself. In fact, right now Xiao Wu’s
strength had reached rank ninety six, and even with just the instinctive
attacks with seventy percent of her strength, these six clones were absolutely
terrifying.
At the same time as the first five devils charged forward, as the last one,
Ning Rongrong still didn’t cross the moat, but rather stood firm on her side,
the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda in her hand instantly expanding. In the
blink of an eye, it had already become a true thirty meter tall treasure
pagoda. And Ning Rongrong herself, disappeared inside.
When she previously carried the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda in her hand
in seemed like nothing, at least not many people noticed it, but now that it
expanded hundreds of times, it suddenly became the focal point of the entire
battlefield.
Her spirit rings also grew along with the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda,
nine dazzling spirit rings each becoming more than ten meters in diameter,
such a dazzling scene. Especially the last blood red spirit ring imperiously
declared a hundred thousand years of power to those Spirit Empire spirit
masters on the walls.
Seeing that dazzling Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, Seven Treasure Glazed
Tile School master Ning Fengzhi’s eyes shone, thinking to himself that it was
finally time for him to retire. Rongrong’s Nine Treasure Glazed
Tile Pagoda had completed the last hurdle, nine rings! The dream of all
members of hte Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, on this day, was finally
accomplished by his daughter.
Without hesitation, Ning Fengzhi swayed, and another pagoda appeared. Even
though it was only seven floors, and also only had seven spirit rings, and its
light a bit duller, its simultaneous appearance on the battlefield was no less
shocking.
Everyone knew that the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School was the world’s
number one support sect, but could only have at most seven spirit rings. Now,
one peak level Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda spirit appeared, as well as
another nine floor Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda. This upsetting display
gave the Spirit Empire powers on the walls an intense shock.
In fact, Ning Fengzhi’s Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda was only an
illusion, only strengthening his support by a certain degree. But Ning
Rongrong’s Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda wasn’t just her seventh spirit
ability spirit avatar. At the same time it was also the Nine Treasure
The instant Ning Rongrong’s Nine Treasure Divine Light Barrier formed, she
showed all the spirit masters present what was meant by the number one support
type sect, what the charm of the number one support type spirit master was.
A full thirty lines of dazzling light suddenly shot from Ning Rongrong’s Nine
Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, at the same time as the first six spirit rings on
the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda flashed. This dazzling scene made the
fighters on both sides for a moment forget the two deities that had risen to
battle in the sky.
Thirty rays of light, every six landing on one person, perfectly boosting the
Shrek Five Devils charging towards Jialing Pass. In fact, after reaching rank
ninety five, Ning Rongrong’s boost ability had already reached the full one
hundred percent. In other words, illuminated by her six rays of light, the
Shrek Five Devils’ strength, agility, spirit power, defense, attack and
attributes were all doubled.
Even for spirit masters above rank ninety five, advancing from rank ninety
five to ninety six only doubled spirit power, the other areas didn’t advance
that much. With Ning Rongrong’s boost, right now the Shrek Five Devils’ full
strength had completely broken through rank ninety five, each one blossoming
with an incomparable second flourish of light.
First to charge, Dai Mubai was now still furthest ahead. The instant Ning
Rongrong’s six lights of support enveloped him, he instantly erupted with the
formidable strength as the strongest power attack type battle spirit master of
the Shrek Seven Devils. A savage red light suddenly shot from his right leg,
instantly spreading all over him, finally freezing over his dual evil eyes.
Dai Mubai’s presence also instantly grew savage, his already ten meter long
body expanding once again under the effect of the six boosts and this red
light. His height didn’t change, but all his muscles swelled, his terrifying
presence suppressing the Spirit Empire spirit masters below rank ninety such
that they couldn’t breathe, even weakening the spirit abilities they used by
thirty percent.
That red light was the Bloodthirst ability of the Bloodsucking Savage
Hurricane right leg bone Dai Mubai possessed. It instantly maximized his
fighting strength. Dai Mubai clearly understood that this was the most crucial
moment, and only by powerfully assaulting the top of the walls could they
truly fight the powerful spirit masters of the Spirit Empire. But it was also
during the charge to the top of the walls that they faced the most attacks.
Therefore, just as they charged, each of them ate one of Oscar’s seventh
spirit ability Erect Gold Fly, even Ning Rongrong was no exception. As a
result, Ning Rongrong’s boost for them wasn’t as simple as one hundred
percent. Even though this sudden support light had thirty rays, with her
formidable strength after reaching rank ninety five and meticulous control,
she actually managed to use them all simultaneously, and even though these
thirty rays of light didn’t reach the Erect Gold Fly’s promised one hundred
five percent effect, it still raised them by twenty percent, reaching one
hundred twenty percent effectiveness. With Dai Mubai in addition using the
Erect Gold Fly himself, his spirit avatar instantly reached a terrifying level
of strength, not at all inferior to the strongest on the Jialing Pass walls,
Golden Crocodile Douluo.
The others also each showed changes from this boost. The vague shadow
following next to Dai Mubai was Hell Douluo Zhu Zhuqing. She was even more
vague, like a puff of smoke twisting around Dai Mubai. Oscar expanded, also
temporarily serving as a power attack type spirit master. He was the only one
who didn’t eat the Erect Gold Fly, because if he did it couldn’t amplify the
next spirit ability attack power by another fifty percent after eating the
clone mirror sausage, it could only boost his sausage making ability. But,
this fellow bluntly released all of Dai Mubai’s support ability forms, White
Tiger Vajra Form, White Tiger Devilgod Form, White Tiger barrier as well as
spirit avatar, using all of them in one go. With Ning Rongrong backing him,
even though he was a replica White Tiger Douluo, he currently displayed the
strength equivalent to a rank ninety five power attack type Douluo. He caught
up to Dai Mubai, helping him withstand the pressure.
And in the air, Ma Hongjun had already turned the top of the walls fiery red.
He only used his fifth spirit ability, Phoenix Meteor Shower, and countless
flaming balls fell from the sky, indiscriminately bombarding the walls of
Jialing Pass.
Absolutely don’t underestimate this fifth spirit ability. Ma Hongjun had
already become the Phoenix Douluo, the heat of his phoenix flame had already
reached a rather horrifying degree. Most importantly, his Phoenix Meteor
Shower not only had the one hundred five percent boost of the Erect Gold Fly,
but at the same time also Ning Rongrong’s boost. Ning Rongrong’s six great
buffs had the most obvious effect on him. The reason was very simple, that
attribute buff had the greatest effect on Ma Hongjun, doubling both the heat
and the burning ability of his phoenix flame! Such a wide area attack revealed
his power even further. Of course, Ma Hongjun didn’t hope for his attack to
have any conclusive effect, he was just harassing the opponents as much as
possible, giving his comrades a chance to scale the walls.
But most shocking was still Xiao Wu. The six figures
Watching the Shrek Six Devils completely erupt, the brothers Tang Hao and Tang
Xiao, as well as Sword Douluo, Bone Douluo and the others were also shocked.
Even though they were also buffed by Ning Fengzhi, clearly,
the effect was much lower than what Ning Rongrong gave the Shrek Six Devils.
Even though they’d already seen that the Shrek Six Devils had reached the
Title Douluo level, now that they truly saw their strength, this old
generation of Title Douluo truly recognized the power of these youths.
In the past, the Shrek Six Devils had always been hidden by Tang San’s overly
dazzling radiance. At this moment, in this battle with the Spirit Empire, they
themselves showed everyone their strength. In the Shrek Seven Devils, Tang San
definitely wasn’t alone on the stage. Each one was a Shrek Academy monster,
truly unreasonable monsters. Each one was the genius of several generations of
the spirit master world.
Of course, the Spirit Empire side didn’t sit still either. They of course
wouldn’t let the enemy onto the walls so easily. The six great priests led by
Golden Crocodile Douluo, as well as altogether eight Title Douluo transferred
from other places to Jialing Pass in recent days, fourteen powers with the aid
of more than a hundred Spirit Douluo, wildly attacked Dai Mubai and the
others. They had only one goal, to keep them off the walls.
Boom—— The Phoenix Meteor Shower became the first wave of attacks. The moment
Ma Hongjun soared into the air, he had already drawn the attention of the
Spirit Empire powers on the walls. Among the fourteen Title Douluo level
powers, a water attributed spirit Title Douluo immediately released a wide
area defensive ability.
An enormous blue barrier covered the top of the walls, trying to stop Ma
Hongjun’s attack. This Title Douluo was also a power second only to the high
priests, his spirit power at rank ninety four, his cultivation even a bit
higher than Ma Hongjun, and this defensive spirit ability was his eighth
spirit ability. In the eyes of the Spirit Empire powers, it was enough to
block Ma Hongjun’s fifth spirit ability.
However, history had showed that underestimating the Shrek Seven Devils was
disastrous. This time was no different.
Boom—— The moment the first Phoenix Meteor hit the blue barrier, that Title
Douluo’s expression changed, shouting, “Not good, watch out above!”
A single Phoenix Meteor smashing his blue barrier caused an intense ring of
light to ripple out, already showing a crack. His warning wasn’t slow, but
unfortunately, right now the Spirit Empire powers’ gazes were all focused on
Dai Mubai and the others striking the walls. They basically hadn’t imagined
that the eight spirit ability couldn’t block the attack from the sky.
Therefore, their attack abilities were all pouring downwards. Even if they
reacted, there was no time to launch any attacks above.
A series of explosions rang like thunderclaps above Jialing Pass. That rank
ninety four water attributed Title Douluo instantly paled, using his spirit
avatar to turn into an enormous turtle, constantly pouring spirit power into
his Warding Rain Barrier. Unfortunately, he underestimated Ma Hongjun too
much.
In terms of attributes, fire and water cancelled each other. The one with the
strongest attribute held the advantage. Even though his spirit wasn’t bad,
compared to the peak level fire type spirit Phoenix, he was still far behind.
Let alone when all of Ma Hongjun’s attributes were doubled, as well as the
effect of the Erect Gold Fly.
Three seconds, only a short three seconds. The blue barrier in the sky loudly
shattered, turning into countless motes of blue light that scattered in all
directions. It had only stopped one third of the Phoenix Meteor Shower. Even
more flaming blasted down, exploding in the crowd.
“What’s going on?” Golden Crocodile Douluo roared angrily. Qian Renxue wasn’t
here, so it was up to him to manage the situation, so when the others all
acted, he held back until last, and now revealed his unreasonable strength as
the Spirit Empire’s second priest. Seeing the flaming meteors rain down, he
suddenly leapt into the air, swaying, already using spirit avatar to turn into
a giant crocodile. And at the same time, without anyone noticing which spirit
ring brightened, countless glittering metallic scales burst from his body,
shooting towards the Phoenix Meteor Shower in the air.
Boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom…… Like rolling thunder,
violent explosions detonated in midair, countless sparks scattering, dazzling.
The majority of the phoenix meteors
were actually blocked by Golden Crocodile Douluo, only a small number exploded
in the ranks of Spirit Empire spirit master powers, causing some injuries
among Spirit Douluo, but not managing to influence their fighting strength.
In the air, Ma Hongjun’s Nine Headed Fire Phoenix gazed with ice cold killing
intent, focused on Golden Crocodile Douluo. The nine heads rose
simultaneously, issuing a resonant phoenix cry, then suddenly fell from the
sky, the entire phoenix flaming, charging straight for Golden Crocodile
Douluo. His aura was also completely locked on Golden Crocodile Douluo.
Even though Ma Hongjun’s Phoenix Meteor Shower couldn’t truly influence the
majority of the Spirit Empire spirit masters on the walls, his attack
definitely disrupted their rhythm. Especially when his strength alone drew
over the strongest second priest Golden Crocodile Douluo, keeping him from
Golden Crocodile Douluo was shocked as well. He now clearly felt a formidable
pressure descending, he had never imagined that a spirit master whose strength
clearly wasn’t at rank ninety five would actually make him feel such pressure.
He had to face him seriously. The giant crocodile raised its head, gazing at
the descending Ma Hongjun.
Indeed, Ma Hongjun’s strength of course wasn’t equal to Golden Crocodile
Douluo. Even with Ning Rongrong’s buffs, his strength was at most between rank
ninety five and six, his overall strength absolutely wouldn’t be rank ninety
six, and his spirit power was still a considerable distance from the rank
ninety eight Golden Crocodile Douluo. The reason he could give Golden
Crocodile Douluo such pressure was mainly because of spirit suppression. The
phoenix could be said to restrain the majority of all reptile spirits, and
Golden Crocodile Douluo’s spirit belonged to this category. No matter how
strong he was he couldn’t fly, and confronting the diving phoenix, the
pressure he felt from the source of his spirit was crucial to now making him
passive.
The Shrek Six Devils really were too familiar with each other. Being together
for so many years, they didn’t even need to look over to understand the
abilities the others used in battle. In the sky, Ma Hongjun drew the
attention of Golden Crocodile Douluo. Below, Ma Hongjun and the others were
already clashing head on with the Spirit Empire powers.
Dai Mubai amply displayed the meaning of overbearing. In his spirit avatar,
especially with after his second growth with Ning Rongrong’s buffs and the
Bloodthirst ability, he definitely drew the most attention. As a result, at
least six Title Douluo focused their attacks on him, even including three
priest level powers. These Spirit Empire spirit masters had a very clear
purpose, to kill Dai Mubai in one move. No matter how strong he looked, power
still had limits. Let alone him, even Golden Crocodile Douluo definitely
wouldn’t dare simultaneously take the attacks of these Title Douluo level
powers.
But in fact, Dai Mubai bore these six Title Douluo attacks head on, and
moreover directly charged at the walls. Of course, that wasn’t with his
strength alone.
Black and golden, vague and distinct, two rays of light instantly completed a
fusion ability in midair. The originally already enormous white tiger now
seemed to stretch and swell once again. The glittering golden light
disappeared, Dai Mubai’s fur again turning white. But, that was white like
milky white crystal. A pair of wings on its back, its whole body seemingly
carved from crystal, more than thirty meters tall, an incomparably enormous
terrifying white tiger suddenly appeared. With a beat of its wings, it
accelerated even further, an intense ring of white light suddenly exploding
around it.
This white tiger had black stripes, the enormous ‘king’ character on its
forehead especially distinct, its tiger eyes more than a meter in diameter,
with faintly red light. Even the Spirit Empire priests couldn’t help feeling a
chill down their spines.
Dai Mubai was no idiot, of course he knew that what kind of attacks he would
face if he charged first, and naturally Zhu Zhuqing knew it as well. The
instant these attacks launched, they also used the strongest ability in the
Shrek Seven Devils apart from the now god level Tang San, Hell White Tiger.
That crystalline giant white tiger also pulled along a vague shadow, and as
the powerful Title Douluo abilities clashed with that white ring of light,
they were actually all deflected.
Tang San once said that once Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing reached the Title
Douluo level, with their high affinity, their Hell White Tiger very possibly
might briefly reach god level strength. The white tiger was also a feline, and
had a seventy percent affinity with Zhu Zhuqing’s Hell Civet. Among the spirit
masters of the Heaven Dou Empire that could use spirit fusion ability, this
was second only to Grandmaster, Flender and Liu Erlong’s Golden Sacred Dragon.
However, of those three only two were Spirit Douluo. These were two Title
Douluo, and Dai Mubai’s strength had moreover reached rank ninety five, and
with Ning Rongrong’s full support as well as Oscar’s Erect Gold Fly backing
them, this instant explosion of power really was too terrifying.
Right now, even if Dai Mubai and Qian Renxue appeared, they would still be
startled by this super edition Hell White Tiger. Even they would hesitate in
facing an attack of this level, and in a frontal clash might not be able to
keep the Hell White Tiger off the walls!
Boom—— The Hell White Tiger forcibly smashed onto the wall with incredibly
unreasonable strength. With a shake of its thirty meter long body, at least
five Title Douluo were blasted off.
Roaring wildly at the sky, the Hell White Tiger’s enormous body didn’t attack
these Spirit Empire powers again, nobody had expected that the moment after
they’d just climbed the walls, it lunged towards Golden Crocodile Douluo. And
this instant was also the moment Ma Hongjun was about to dive from the sky to
attack Golden Crocodile Douluo.
This was teamwork, perfect teamwork. From the start, Dai Mubai, Ma Hongjun and
the others had been aiming for Golden Crocodile Douluo. Having fought once,
they of course knew the importance of this second priest. Not only in terms of
strength, but as Qian Renxue was fighting Tang San, it was impossible for her
to come back and take charge, and this Golden Crocodile Douluo was definitely
the enemy’s vital commander. If
they could him, the impact on today’s battle could be imagined. As a result,
Dai Mubai would
Chapter 325
Once they saw the Hell White Tiger and Ma Hongjun’s pincer attack, there
wasn’t time for the others on the walls to help Golden Crocodile Douluo even
if they wanted. Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing’s Hell White Tiger and Ma Hongjun’s
aerial attack was perfect, forcing Golden Crocodile Douluo to suffer attacks
from both directions at once. Despite the numerous Spirit Empire spirit
masters on the walls of Jialing Pass, at this moment Golden Crocodile Douluo
felt alone and isolated. That absolutely wasn’t a nice feeling, and could even
be called painful.
The first thing Golden Crocodile didn’t expect was the threat Ma Hongjun posed
to him, the second was how the Heaven Dou Empire side’s powers could breach
the defenses to mount the walls so soon, and the third was of course the Hell
White Tiger’s fearsome strength. At this moment, he alone wasn’t enough to
even deal with the Hell White Tiger, let alone with Phoenix Douluo Ma Hongjun
on top.
Ma Hongjun’s attack alone wasn’t enough to trouble Golden Crocodile Douluo too
much, but he didn’t need to finish Golden Crocodile Douluo, he just needed to
block him from escaping into the air, forcing him to defend until he had to
fight the Hell White Tiger.
In the critical moment, Golden Crocodile Douluo revealed the full power that
made him the second high priest of the Spirit Empire behind Qian Daoliu. All
his scales stood upright as he twisted violently, producing a layer of vague
golden light with each shake, making Dai Mubai and Ma Hongjun unable to
completely target him. And at the same time, his
enormous body abruptly turned, pulling his alligator tail up to his mouth and
biting down on it, turning into a full circle with the most solid scales he
had on the outside, and the vulnerable areas inside. Simultaneously, his whole
body spun quickly like a pinwheel, and along with his spirit rings flashing,
he shot from the top of the walls, charging straight towards Ma Hongjun,
hitting the soft parts and avoiding the hard was the natural way to squish a
persimmon.
Without a doubt, this was Golden Crocodile Douluo’s all out attack, and also
the best method in a critical situation. A rank ninety eight Title Douluo’s
full strength attack was terrifying. If Ma Hongjun dodged now, then without a
doubt, with Golden Crocodile Douluo’sstrength he could immediately open up a
good distance, and the other Spirit Empire powers would also get the time to
assist. At least Golden Crocodile Douluo wouldn’t have to face Ma Hongjun and
the Hell White Tiger’s pincer attack, making hurting him very difficult. If Ma
Hongjun didn’t dodge and met him head on, Golden Crocodile Douluo could still
rely on his unreasonable stremgth to force him away, taking advantage of the
gap to escape. Of course, that way he would very likely be caught up to by the
Hell White Tiger. He was betting, betting that Ma Hongjun didn’t dare take his
full power attack. As long as he retreated an inch, Golden Crocodile Douluo
would have a chance.
Would Ma Hongjun dodge? He used his actions to prove the power of the Shrek
Seven Devils to all on the battlefield. Seeing Golden Crocodile Douluo about
to hit him, Ma Hongjun gave a silent curse, and his seen heads spit flame. Not
towards Golden Crocodile Douluo, but rather towards himself. Surging phoenix
flame surged all over his body, and at the same time, the his phoenix wings
closed up, with his heads stuck inside, curling up like a ball, going into the
crash without hesitation or thoughts of dodging.
Boom——
The flaming meteor made from a Nine headed Fire Phoenix was blasted high in
the air. In midair, Ma Hongjun couldn’t even maintain his Nine Headed Phoenix
avatar, directly turning back into his human form and even
vomiting blood, clearly seriously injured. The flames all over him scattered
in all directions, his complexion pale as paper.
But, his injuries were worth it. At the same time Ma hongjun had displayed his
greatest power with one strike. The wind fire wheel-like Golden Crocodile
Douluo was stalled in midair for a second by his attack, and was even covered
in scorching flames, dissipating all of his momentum. It was also at this
moment that the Hell White Tiger arrived.
Bang—— A giant claw raked Golden Crocodile Douluo. Golden Crocodile Douluo’s
Golden Crocodile avatar had to be described as large, but it paled in
comparison to the thirty meter long Hell White Tiger. Absolutely don’t
underestimate this tiger claw, it was an attack that Dai Mubai had charged up
for a long time and using the strength of the Erect Gold Fly boost. With this
one attack, Golden Crocodile was slapped straight off. Half his body was
embedded in the wall.
“Daring to harm my little brother. This old man will end you.” The Hell White
Tiger spit out Dai Mubai’s voice, a giant white ball of light exploding out,
bluntly smashing down on Golden Crocodile Douluo.
Golden Crocodile was now putting his all into defense. The collision with Ma
Hongjun had left him in pain, and he could only suffer Ma Hongjun’s attack.
There was no way he could dodge that claw. With one strike, Golden Crocodile
Douluo was already seeing stars, blood spraying from his mouth. What he could
do now was to burst with all his rank ninety eight spirit power, combining it
with his spirit abilities to protect himself.
With one white light suddenly exploding on top of the walls of Jialing Pass, a
giant jag was blasted into the walls, countless stone chips shooting in all
directions. Golden Crocodile Douluo’s muffled grunt was audible even to the
Heaven Dou army that was still far from Jialing pass.
However,
The instant the Hell White Tiger formed, Ning Rongrong’s boosts towards it
failed, because her Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda couldn’t boost god level
powers, and the Erect Gold Fly’s ability could only last one
strike. Because of this, after Dai Mubai launched one attack, it would be a
bit difficult to bear all those strikes. The Hell White Tiger’s form was
already starting to grow vague. The thirty meter shape could admittedly
contain enormous energy, but it also had an extremely clear goal.
Poor Golden Crocodile Douluo, he had now also been blasted straight back to
his human form. Even though Ma Hongjun was miserably hurt, he was still
relatively fine, whereas this second priest might be worse off than he had
ever been in his life. His whole body was embedded in the rock of the wall,
and those shattered scales of his Golden Crocodile avatar were equivalent to
his own flesh, every part of him torn and mangled, vomiting big mouthfuls of
blood. His complexion was unsightly to the extreme. He could only gasp for
breath. In fact, the Hell White Tiger’s god level strike had been completely
focused on him! How could he get off easy? Golden Crocodile Douluo was in his
hundreds, and even though an attack like this wasn’t enough to directly put
him out of the fight, he’d still lost at least seventy percent of his
unreasonable strength. Recovering would even more difficult than when Bibi
Dong was injured. After all, age spared no man.
He had absolutely not expected that, as the battlefield commander, he’d be
this seriously injured in one exchange. And it only cost the enemy the
injuries of one Title Douluo. His depression was definitely more painful than
his injuries, which was also one of the reasons Golden Crocodile Douluo madly
vomited blood. Without a doubt, the Shrek Six Devils’ plan of beheading the
enemy was extremely successful.
What made Golden Crocodile Douluo’s eyes even wider was that the fatty he’d
clearly seriously injured so bad he turned back into human form had actually
resumed his spirit avatar in the air, and by the looks of it, his strength
wasn’t affected by his injuries. He was actually diving from the sky again.
How was it possible?
Nothing was impossible, don’t forget that the Shrek Seven Devils had two
supports. Besides the world’s number one support spirit master, they also had
the world’s number one food type spirit master. Even though the crystal
caterpillar sausage was hard to produce, each of the Shrek Six Devils carried
one. Ma Hongjun was seriously injured, but this crystal caterpillar sausage
really was potent, made while Oscar had eaten the Erect
Gold Fly. It instantly healed the injuries. And Ma Hongjun hadn’t spent too
much spirit power either, with his injuries restored, he naturally suffered no
major hindrance.
However, the Shrek Six Devils didn’t scale the walls entirely smoothly. After
all, the Spirit Empire had too many formidable spirit masters. Even though
Oscar had Ning Rongrong’s support, he didn’t have as powerful abilities as the
Hell White Tiger and was directly hit below the walls, suffering some
injuries.
On Xiao Wu’s side, of her nine clones, four were destroyed, while the other
five successfully stepped onto the walls, turning into five red shadows, each
finding a Spirit Douluo.
They might not be able to set the result in one blow against Title Douluo, but
against lower level Spirit Douluo, Xiao Wu’s spirit avatar displayed
terrifying strength.
Five red lights erupted simultaneously, directly shooting into the sky,
instantly completing five Burst Kill Eight Stage Drops. In front of the rank
ninety six Xiao Wu, her Burst Kill Eight Stage Drop would have even Tang San
worry about losing a layer of skin. As for Xiao Wu’s main body, she reached
the top of the walls completely without incident. Definitely don’t forget
about Xiao Wu’s two great defensive abilities, Teleportation and Invincible
Golden Body.
Just one Invincible Golden Body made her the second to charge onto the walls
after the Hell White Tiger. With a series of dazzling Teleportations, four
Spirit Douluo over rank eighty had their necks twisted by Xiao Wu. It was
still Soft Skill, but Xiao Wu’s Soft Skill was now completely different. She
was surrounded by an illusory light, and when she attacked only this shadow
that was similar to her main body moved, but could easily accomplish the Soft
Skill. Title Douluo level Soft Skill.
Xiao Wu’s display immediately caught the attention of the Spirit Empire
powers. The third priest blurred, already charging towards her. Naturally they
couldn’t let Xiao Wu use her full strength, a rank ninety five power in a
group of Spirit Douluo was no different from a tiger in a flock of sheep.
A faint smile appeared on Xiao Wu’s face. One Teleportation, a quick retreat,
and at the same time, a red speck of light flew from her hand, landing right
behind those Spirit Empire high level spirit masters.
“Look out!” One Spirit Empire Title Douluo who once saw something similar
practically roared.
The terrifying force that red speck carried really was too shocking. That
time, several dozen Spirit Sage and higher powers had been instantly
annihilated!
Indeed, what flew from XIao Wu’s hand was the second of the three Buddha Fury
Tang Lotuses produced by divine craftsman Lou Gao.
But Xiao Wu’s actions didn’t end here. She threw out the Buddha Fury Tang
Lotus with one hand, while her other wrist turned, an elaborate cylinder
Only one person didn’t feel it was beautiful. That was the third priest
charging towards Xiao Wu. The magnificent peacock tail spreading out happened
to envelop him.
After Xiao Wu used the Tang Sect’s most terrifying mechanical hidden weapon
Buddha Fury Tang Lotus, she also used the equally terrifying single target
attack hidden weapon, Peacock Plume.
What the Peacock Plume fired was all sorts of needle type hidden weapons. Back
when they first saw the blueprints, both divine craftsmen Tai Tan and Lou Gao
were gobsmacked. This was the first time it was revealed on the Douluo
Continent, the first time its power was unleashed. The unlucky third priest
also became its test target.
All manner of different sounds erupted simultaneously. Even with the third
priest’s strength it was impossible to dodge the Peacock Plume. Even Xiao Wu
who fired it couldn’t help gasping in surprise.
Terror made the third priest instantly use his strongest defensive ability.
However, nearly all of the Peacock Plume’s special needle type hidden
weapons possessed the ability to break through protective energy. Bone
piercing needles, Thunderflame needles, Rending blade needles, Devil subduing
needles, Armorbreaking needles, Overlord needles, Dark yin needles,
Dragonsnapping needles…… All sorts of needle type hidden weapons were
perfectly combined.
Pain and explosions constantly appeared on the third priest. It was lucky he’d
smoothly already reached rank ninety six, and at the same time as his
defensive spirit abilities dulled the attack power of these needle type hidden
weapons, his durable flesh became his last shield, dissolving these attacks as
far as possible. However, poison, explosions and all sorts of attacks were
still made him suffer. His entire body was drenched in blood from the Peacock
Plume’s attack.
And just then, the Buddha Fury Tang Lotus exploded in the group.
What was the strongest mechanical hidden weapon? That was, when you even knew
how terrifying it was, you still had no chance to dodge when you met it.
The terrifying explosive force brought an ear piercing shrieking sound, golden
lotus petals practically instantly stabbing more than thirty Spirit Empire
Spirit Douluo. Title Douluo levels had defensive power far surpassing Spirit
Sages, but how difficult was it to nurture thirty Spirit Douluo? Before the
Buddha Fury Tang Lotus, their bodies were torn like cloth, great clouds of
blood suddenly blossoming.
And at the same time, an illusory red silhouette had appeared behind the third
priest, a tender looking hand already grabbing his waist. It was Xiao Wu.
Having endured the Peacock Plume’s attack, the third priest no longer had the
strength to resist Xiao Wu’s attack, let alone when Xiao Wu with Ning
Rongrong’s support already surpassed him.
Right knee on the third priest’s lower back, and the next moment, this lord
priest was thrown away by Xiao Wu. The other Shrek Six Devils basically didn’t
even need to look in the direction of this corner of the
battle. At a similar level to Xiao Wu, her soft skill lock was something not
even Tang San before he became god would have a chance of escaping. Let alone
the third priest who was already heavily wounded from the Peacock Plume, he
could only have one ending, and would only have one.
Tang Hao and the others were now definitely shocked. Of the Spirit Empire’s
strongest six grand priests, the Shrek Seven Devils had directly gotten rid of
two. This wasn’t just a perfect start, at the same time it influenced the
entire battle!
Right now, with the Hell White Tiger doggedly meeting the attacks of two
priests, and Ma Hongjun falling from the sky to tangle with one, only one of
the six great priests remained. This also didn’t include Xiao Wu’s remaining
five clones already tangling with one non-priest Title Douluo. The Shrek Six
Devils were already doing as well as they could.
A giant Clear Sky Hammer found the last priest, the Clear Sky Hammer of Clear
Sky School master Tang Xiao. With a single swing, that priest was forced back
in swift retreat.
When Tang Xiao moved, how could Clear Sky Douluo Tang Hao stand aside? The
Great Sumeru Hammer swung in a circle, stubbornly encircling three enemy Title
Douluo. Sword Douluo Chen Xin and Bone Douluo Gu Rong joined hands, also
taking up four Title Douluo.
Of course, this still wasn’t all the strength of the Heaven Dou Empire. Oscar
and the Golden Iron Triangle as the Golden Sacred Dragon were last to land.
Their goal were thouse rank eighty something Spirit Douluo level powers. In an
instant, the battle spread like wildfire. The Heaven Dou Empire side that
should have been at a disadvantage, not only weren’t suppressed, but instead
held an advantage.
And at this moment, the swarming Heaven Dou army had reached the moat. Even
though Xue Beng didn’t clearly see the situation on the top of the walls, but
that the powers on their side had already all climbed to the top of the walls
was enough to infer that his side wasn’t losing. At least there wouldn’t be a
problem for a while.
Raising the imperial sword, Xue Beng shouted, “Soldiers of all armies, full
assault!”
In close to a month of peace, the Heaven Dou army stationed in the camp hadn’t
been idle. With the Tang Sect Speed Hall disciples frequent scouting, they had
grasped the majority of the changes to Jialing Pass. Of course they knew the
circumstances of the moat.
Consequently, as the great army just reached the mote, four cavalry legions
immediately milled forward. On either side of each horseman’s saddle hung a
sandbag
As the Spirit Empire’s most important stronghold, the moat in front of Jialing
Pass was of course very deep. Sixty jin of sandbags thrown in naturally didn’t
count for anything. But, as four cavalry legions, a full forty thousand men,
took turns to throw sandbags into the moat, the effect appeared immediately.
Even though it couldn’t pack the entire moat full, filling a few wide passages
wasn’t a problem.
Commanded by marshal Ge Long’s signal flags, the Heaven Dou army split neatly.
After the cavalry completed their task, they immediately retreated to both
sides, and the heavy infantry began to cross the river.
Right now the majority of the people on top of the Jialing Pass walls were the
Spirit Empire’s spirit master legions. Repelling those enemy powers
notwithstanding, a pass guarded by spirit masters was admittedly secure as a
vault, but it also had a weakness. Spirit master attack abilities all had
fixed ranges. Even rank sixty and rank seventy spirit masters found it very
difficult to project their attacks very far. Spirit abilities like Ma
Hongjun’s Phoenix Meteor Shower were after all extremely rare. Even Dai
Mubao’s White Tiger Meteor Shower only had a range of a hundred meters.
Therefore, these spirit masters could only helplessly watch the moat being
filled it. Right now they were less useful than common archer squads.
Sonorous metal noise resounded in the Heaven Dou army. The few legions
furthest ahead slowly moved aside, leaving only six heavy infantry legions
like a shield in front. Behind them, special warriors appeared one after
another with stern faces and holding long black boxes. They had once
created unprecedented glory on this battlefield, using the power of ordinary
humans to annihilate practically an entire ten thousand man Spirit Empire
spirit master legion. Indeed, they were the extension of Tang San’s Tang Sect,
the Tang Army, the army equipped with the Godly Zhuge Crossbow that could make
lower level spirit masters die trembling.
And together with the Tang Army also came the Heaven Dou Army’s one and only
spirit master legion, and furthest in front were the Tang Sect four hall
disciples.
Riding alongside Xue Beng’s tall mount, Marshal Ge Long sent down the orders,
and soldiers next to him raised a yellow signal flag. Seeing this flag, two
detachments on the front of the Heaven Dou spirit master legion moved. These
two detachments only had three hundred men in total, but they were formed
entirely from Tang Sect disciples. They were made each from one hundred fifty
Defense Hall disciples as well as one hundred fifty Strength Hall disciples.
Standing furthest ahead were the two hall masters, Tai Tan and Niu Gao.
Tai Tan and Niu Gao’s eyes were burning with excitement, not for battle, but
rather for the sect master high in the sky that had finally returned at the
critical juncture.
Not so long ago, their four single attribute clans had left the Clear Sky
School like stray dogs, practically any sect in the spirit master world could
humiliate them. Until the day Tang San appeared, founding the Tang Sect,
gathering them together again. Even now, when Tai Tan, Niu Gao and the others
recalled their former circumstances, they couldn’t help rejoicing. Back then
Tang San had moved them with strength, but in fact, they had actually gambled
on using Tang San as an opportunity to regather the four into one great sect.
They had never expected the Tang Sect to one day reach such a position.
Ever since the first battle at Jialing Pass, the Tang Sect had established
themselves as unique in the million man army. Even the Heaven Dou Empire
spirit legion would be suppressed a bit by the Tang Army. As long as you
mentioned the Tang Sect, mentioned the Tang Army, nobody wouldn’t give their
approval.
Even if it was before the battle, the Tang Sect already counted as the number
one great sect in Heaven Dou City. With imperial support, their position was
even above the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School. And all this was because of
Tang San. King Lan Hao, Imperial Tutor, Tang Sect master. If there initially
were some chancellors that objected to Tang Sect receiving so many
distinctions, then after the start of this war, everyone were already
relieved.
Tang San had returned, returned moments before today’s battle began, and he
had already become a god. A god! As rank eighty something Spirit Douluo level
powers, Tai Tan and the others of course knew the theory of rank one hundred
becoming gods, but this theory to their minds was like a legend. Tang San had
turned this legend to reality. Even back when the four single attribute clans
followed the Clear Sky School, even if the Clear Sky School was recognized as
the world’s number one sect, they still had no god level power. Now these Tang
Sect elders and hall masters could raise their eyebrows and exhale. Tai Tan
and Niu Gao’s excitement also stemmed from this.
Altogether three hundred disciples of the two halls, Defense Hall disciples in
front, Strength Hall disciples in the back. Tai Tan and Niu Gao had the best
relationship, to the point the Strength Hall and Defense Hall disciples also
cooperated best. They didn’t just simply advance, even though they only had
three hundred people, their appearance shook both armies.
One hundred fifty Defense Hall disciples, each had already expanded from
releasing their spirits, the Plate Armored Giant Rhino’s defensive power was
completely displayed. At the same time, each hand held a five meter tall and
two meters wide, fully one meter thick giant tower shield. Even if these
shields were all forged by the disciples of the Strength Hall using special
alloys and weren’t all that heavy for their extraordinary defensive strength,
it still weighed several thousand jin.
Without a doubt, with these special tower shields from the Strength Hall, the
Defense Hall disciples’ defensive power had reached an unprecedented level.
Even for high level spirit masters, breaking their defense still
definitely wouldn’t be easy. As for bow and arrow, heavy crossbows and such
attacks, could basically be ignored.
Even more valiant were still those behind. Even though the Defense Hall
disciples had great strength, they focused their strength on defense, the true
force came after.
One hundred fifty Strength Hall disciples, divided into four units of more
than forty men. They weren’t noticable before moving out of the army
formation, but now that they did, with a simultaneous roar, each unit of more
than forty men simultaneously used force, and giant battering rams appeared.
Under ordinary circumstances, siege hammers would be carried by special
vehicles, but these were brought out entirely with human strength. Only, as
long as these siege weapons were closely observed, it would be obvious why
they had to be wielded by people, and moreover carried by more than forty
Strength Hall disciples.
These battering rams were made from thousand year Ironwood, covered by a layer
of iron plating, and the front third was completely made from iron essence.
The entire battering ram was a hundred meters long, more than five meters in
diameter. Was Tang San’s Seagod Trident heavy? Each of these battering rams
weighed the equivalent of five Seagod Tridents, reaching a full five hundred
thousand jin. Even in the spirit master world, maybe the Strength Clan was the
only group that could use such terrifying battering rams by cultivating purely
strength. What siege vehicle could carry such weight?
These four battering rams still weren’t fully completed when the Heaven Dou
army first set out, and had only been brought half a month ago. It had to be
carried onto the battlefield by the Strength Hall disciples themselves,
otherwise, if it was left to ordinary soldiers, there was no telling how many
men it would take to move these four big fellows.
As the four battering rams were shouldered by the Strength Hall disciples,
formally appearing on the battlefield, the defending Spirit Empire
spirit masters on top of the walls were stupefied. These things, were they
movable with human strength?
The Strength Hall disciples used facts to prove that these really were true
battering rams.
The Defense Hall disciples quickly spread out, separating to the sides of the
Strength Hall disciples. Raising the tower shields above their heads, they
sheltered the Strength Hall disciples completely within. As for the parts of
the battering rams that stuck out, they basically needed no protection. If you
have the skill, come break them! Even though these things weren’t made from
the best materials, was that five hundred thousand jin weight so easy to
destroy? In fact, ironwood itself not only didn’t weigh less than steel, it
was even more solid. If not for the Heaven Dou Empire possessing a province
that produced such ironwood, even with the full backing of the Heaven Dou
Empire, the Tang Sect still wouldn’t have been able to create these things.
For these four battering rams, the Heaven Dou Empire had summoned ten thousand
blacksmiths under the Strength Hall’s command. These things were to be heavy
and strong, there was no need for details, ordinary blacksmiths were enough.
With the tower shields held high, these three hundred people immediately split
into four units, stepping onto the sand filling the moat, swiftly charging
towards Jialing Pass. Meanwhile, the Tang Army as well as the Heaven Dou
spirit master legion also moved simultaneously, launching a tidal wave of
attacks at the top of the walls. They were clearly screening the attack on the
walls by those three hundred Tang Sect disciples.
Of course, the Heaven Dou army’s attack didn’t just consist of this. Among the
infantry, a full six archery legions moved up to the moat under protection of
the heavy infantry, drawing bows and nocking arrows. Besides the powers of
both sides just now fighting fiercely on top of the walls, sixty thousand
arrows began to indiscriminately blanket the top of Jialing Pass as well as
the inside of the walls.
Even back when Tang San attacked Bibi Dong, the Heaven Dou Army still didn’t
act so fiercely. Xue Beng didn’t know if Tang San could return for today’s
battle, therefore, he had brought out all the trump cards of the Heaven Dou
Empire. A million troops, how would they be so easily resisted? The Heaven Dou
Empire had existed on the Douluo Continent for many years, and their resources
were extremely deep, how could a recently founded nation like the Spirit
Empire compare to this? In the past the Heaven Dou Empire had given all the
kingdoms and duchies free rein mainly to give Spirit Hall face. That’s why
they didn’t deal with them. Until this moment, when the colossal empire
revealed their robust strength.
The battle was practically ignited at this moment, the entire battlefield
fiery. Countless arrows fell from the sky. To spirit masters, one arrow of
course wasn’t anything, but they couldn’t withstand the constant
indiscriminate rain! Harming them was very difficult, but it was enough to
disturb them. Moreover, even more arrows rained down inside the walls, and the
unprepared Spirit Empire soldiers were immediately hit, large numbers of
soldiers falling like scythed wheat. By the time they had tidied up their
formations to deal with the rain of arrows, there were already several
thousand casualties.
Chapter 326
The Heaven Dou Empire’s million man army suddenly erupted with immense
fighting power, especially the way they cooperated as entire divisions were
dispatched, moving a million troops without any disorder, everything neat and
tidy.
This was the atmosphere of a great nation, something a temporarily assembled
nation like the Spirit Empire couldn’t compare to. The Spirit Empire was
established entirely by relying on Spirit Hall’s formidable strength and
influence, as well as controlling more than sixty percent of all the spirit
masters on the continent, through coercion and enticement. And then those
kingdoms and duchies that felt danger from the two great empires and had no
choice but to adhere to the Spirit Empire. Without a doubt, in terms of spirit
masters, if the Heaven Dou Empire didn’t produce a Tang San, they basically
wouldn’t even stand a speck of a chance. Even if the Clear Sky Clan came out
it would in no way be enough to make up the difference.
Tang San’s greatest influence on the Heaven Dou Empire wasn’t his personal
strength, but rather his Tang Sect hidden weapons, using Tang Sect hidden
weapon equipment to truly turn the Tang Army into a deadly threat to the
Spirit Empire. If the difference in spirit masters was described as enormous,
then the ratio of soldiers between both sides was even larger, but this time
completely in reverse. The Heaven Dou Army’s mood was strict, appropriately
dispatched, and had even higher morale. As orders came, it moved as freely as
the arm moves the finger. As long as the Spirit Empire’s spirit master legions
couldn’t start them off at a major advantage, then it
was impossible for their ordinary armies to compete with the Heaven Dou
Empire. It was difficult to defend even with this Jialing Pass in the way.
Whether Qian Renxue or second priest Golden Crocodile Douluo, they were after
all no army commanders. Their personal strength was as high as could be, but
when it came to unifying the army, they had no special talent. To them it
seemed that Jialing Pass’ defenses were so tight, even if the Heaven Dou
Empire wanted to break through, they would still be bound to a siege battle,
first passing the walls, and even if they wanted to attack the gates, their
spirit masters could attack from atop the walls.
When the battle just started this really was the case, the Heaven Dou Empire’s
powers directly chose to attack the top of the walls. But, the actions of the
Tang Sect Strength and Defense Hall disciples, immediately made the spirit
masters on the walls panic. Everyone knew that if the gates were breached,
then the defenders inside Jialing Pass would be directly faced with the
unrelenting, unhesitating all out assault of a million troops. Spirit masters
had limited spirit power, even if they killed with all their strength, how
many could they kill? Killing ordinary soldiers was still easy, but to killing
those heavily armored troops still had to be done through rather strong spirit
abilities.
Originally the Spirit Empire’s spirit masters and soldiers were very confident
in their reforged solid gates. These were up to five meters thick solid iron
gates, weighing at least a hundred thousand jin. But, as they saw the
battering rams carried by the Tang Sect disciples, their confidence was
completely swept away. It was the first time they saw such enormous battering
rams, and nobody could be sure how many strikes these gates could suffer.
The joint attack of the Tang Sect and Heaven Dou Empire spirit master legion
was even more intense. The effect of the Heaven Dou Empire spirit master
legion was mainly to defend the Tang Army, positioned just far enough from the
top of the walls that none of the numerous enemy spirit masters’ attacks could
reach. Only a small number of spirit masters specializing in long range
attacks could pour strikes down in torrents. The Heaven Dou Empire spirit
masters might be much fewer, but defending from attacks at such a distance
still wasn’t a problem. After all, the Spirit
Empire’s strongest spirit masters were all busy fighting the Shrek Six Devils
and the Heaven Dou Empire spirit master powers headed by the Tang brothers.
Spirit masters couldn’t attack extremely far, but the Tang Army soldiers’
specially made Godly Zhuge Crossbows had no such restriction. In order to
maximize the power and minimize the material requirements, under Tai Tan’s
charge, these Godly Zhuge Crossbows’ mechanisms were made way larger than the
original. While the materials were a bit lacking, the attack power had instead
increased. After all, the size of the encasing let the mechanism be made even
larger, and the same for the crossbow bolts. Their attack range wasn’t as far
as bow and arrow, but within four hundred meters the Godly Zhuge Crossbow
maintained its terrifying killing power.
Ten thousand Tang Army soldiers only launched one volley, but the ten thousand
Spirit Empire spirit masters atop the walls had to cower down, and even
instantly suffered large casualties. Even though the effect couldn’t be as
large as last time with the flying mushroom sausage, suppressing the spirit
masters on the walls was no problem.
On the battlefield, sometimes the outcome wasn’t decided entirely by strength.
Morale and attitude were also extremely important. The Tang Army once left an
extremely “profound” impression on the Spirit Empire’s spirit masters, and
even though the spirit masters on the walls hadn’t all experienced those
circumstances, the story had already spread from one to ten and from ten to a
hundred in the spirit master legions. Now that they faced the Tang Army for
real, their hearts were already filled with fear,
The attacks of a handful of spirit masters was basically no threat to the
Defense Hall disciples. With the tower shields they wielded plus their
exceptionally sturdy physique, they easily escorted the Strength Hall
disciples with the battering rams up to the walls of Jialing Pass.
Violent explosive sounds reverberated practically as one. The Strength Hall
disciples started their charge when they were still twenty meters from the
gates, their strength fully focused on their four limbs, sprinting full tilt,
releasing the strongest possible impact force with the battering rams on their
shoulders.
The conical ram heavily impacted those iron gates. With this attack, even the
Strength Hall disciples with their terrifying strength staggered back from the
shock, and a few rather weaker disciples had the skin between their fingers
split. But, their attack wasn’t for nothing, the gates already showed giant
dents, and the surrounding rock revealed massive cracks.
Five hundred thousand jin really was too terrifying. Even just one of these
was breathtaking.
“Hold the gates! Spirit master legions, attack! Soldiers below the walls,
support the gates!” Golden Crocodile Douluo had just managed to crawl out of
the wall, but the shaking from four heavy battering ram strikes knocked him to
the ground again. The Hell White Tiger’s attack power was truly terrifying,
under the effect of Erect Gold Fly, they made this hundred year old Douluo’s
body suffer unprecedentedly heavy injuries. With difficulty gathering his
breath to crawl up, his loud roar made him vomit another few mouthfuls of
blood.
A dozen Spirit Empire support type spirit masters exerted their abilities on
Golden Crocodile Douluo, easing his expression somewhat, but the light of his
spirit rings was still extremely dull. Golden Crocodile Douluo couldn’t help
sighing, the years were unkind! As his bodily functions deteriorated, so did
the rate at which he healed injuries decrease. But, he knew he couldn’t
retreat now. The Heaven Dou Empire’s first wave of attacks was the fiercest,
if they could defend this attack, they could safely endure until Qian Renxue
and that Seagod’s battle was over. Until the young miss returned, he had to
persist in the battle here.
Golden Crocodile Douluo looked down over the battlefield. At his command, the
Spirit Empire’s spirit masters had quickly regrouped, and were launching
fierce attacks down on the Tang Sect disciples. And this was also just in the
empty period after the Tang Army’s first volley. Under the numerous spirit
ability attacks, even the Strength and Defense Hall disciples couldn’t bear
it, and quickly retreated under the cover of the tower shields, back across
the moat.
However, the Heaven Dou Empire’s archers never stopped, sixty thousand arrows
to a wave, and the incautious spirit master legions suffered
casualties.
Golden Crocodile Douluo now realized his mistake, and quickly gave orders to
dispatch the Spirit Empire archer legions to the top of the walls, and at the
same time to man the ballistae. When both sides had yet to enter close combat,
archers were even more effective than spirit masters.
After handing down a string of orders, with the help of the support spirit
masters, Golden Crocodile Douluo had caught his breath. He wasn’t planning on
joining the fight again, right now commanding the army was most important.
The fight on top of Jialing Pass was already at a white hot intensity. After
suffering the attack of the Peacock Plume and then Xiao Wu’s close quarters
attack, the third priest became the first of the Spirit Empire’s six great
priests to die in battle. When Golden Crocodile Douluo saw him, his body was
already twisted into an inhuman shape, and Xiao Wu had already killed her way
among those Spirit Douluo, launching an all out offensive. Her Teleportation
now showed its greatest use. Backed by rank ninety six spirit power, those
rank eighty something Spirit Douluo single target attacks couldn’t hit her,
and they didn’t dare use area attacks for fear of hurting their allies. In an
instant, another four Spirit Douluo had died to Xiao Wu’s Soft Skill.
However, the battlefield wasn’t all bad news to the Spirit Empire. As the
battle prolonged, Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing’s Hell White Tiger could no longer
endure. The giant form scattered into specks of light, revealing Dai Mubai and
Zhu Zhuqing themselves.
The enormous exhaustion from the Hell White Tiger made their faces seem a bit
pale. After all, when they attacked Golden Crocodile Douluo earlier they had
also suffered a lot of attacks.
They had previously been blocked by the fourth and fifth priest. These two
grand priests were quite formidable, even if the Hell White Tiger had
astonishing strength, they still managed to withstand its attacks, retreating
step by step to save themselves. Now that the pressure suddenly
disappeared, as one side declined the other rose, the two grand priests
instantly erupted, violently charging at Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing.
Golden Crocodile Douluo saw this scene and immediately showed a happy
expression, his hazy eyes filled with resentment. It was this pair that had
heavily injured him with their spirit fusion ability, now he wanted to see
what chance they stood, the situation would also definitely change because of
their lacking stamina. After killing them, as the two priest level powers
joined the fight, they could definitely reverse the direction of the battle.
Just while Golden Crocodile Douluo was calculating the contrast in strength
between both sides, he suddenly discovered that Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing
showed no trace of alarm, so much that they even looked a bit happy. An
ominous feeling instantly rose in Golden Crocodile Douluo’s
The fourth and fifth priest were attacking with all their strength, and seeing
their attacks already hitting Zhu Zhuqing and Dai Mubai, even though they
heard Golden Crocodile Douluo’s shout, they didn’t realize it was aimed at
them. In fact, right now their mental power was already completely locked on
Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing. As priests of the Spirit Empire, they had spent
their entire lives researching all kinds of spirits, and naturally knew how
weak spirit masters would become after ending a spirit fusion bility.
Moreover, at this moment they still had several Spirit Douluo level support
spirit masters backing them. With their attack power at its peak, nevermind
resisting, Zhu Zhuqing and Dai Mubai didn’t even seem to have a chance to
escape.
However, they didn’t notice, outside the walls, by the moat, at the same time
as Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing’s spirit fusion ability ended, the support light
of that Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda containing Ning Rongrong suddenly
halted, Oscar, Xiao Wu and Ma Hongjun temporarily losing Ning Rongrong’s
buffs. And at the same time, that red ninth spirit ring revolving around the
pagoda also shone on the battlefield for the first time. Two red dazzling
lights shot out, quietly cresting Jialing Pass, practically simultaneously
hitting Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing.
In that instant, Dai Mubai and Zhu ZHuqing were both enveloped in dazzling
golden red light, and in just the same second, the two great priests’ attacks
also each hit them.
The fourth and fifth priests were instantly filled with joy, but they very
quickly sensed something amiss. They attacked with the power of rank ninety
six Title Douluo, but while they hit the two enemies in front of them, the
torrential force still drained away into nothing like a clay ox in the sea.
The golden red light disappeared the instant their attacks ended, and at the
same time, six boosting lights from Ning Rongrong simultaneously hit Dai Mubai
and Zhu Zhuqing.
One white and one black ball of light shot out almost simultaneously, using
the moment just after the fourth and fifth priests’ attack, catching this
crucial timing.
In order to maximize attack speed, Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing didn’t bring out
their strongest spirit abilities. Zhu Zhuqing turned into a vague black light,
quietly nestling up to the fifth priest, Hell Enhanced Hell Hundred Claws, the
fastest attack she could produce. As an agiity attack type Title Douluo, in
practically an instant, she completed the boost from Hell Enhancement,
countless claw shadows suddenly exploding at the opponent’s chest.
Dai Mubai’s attack was much simpler, a giant ‘kill’ character appeared above
both his golden tiger claws, the sixth spirit ability, White Tiger
Annihilating Kill.
The fourth and fifth priests had never thought that they could be defeated by
Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing not in their Spirit Fusion Ability Hell White Tiger,
and so now stumbled in the ditch.
With miserable screams, the two great priests flipped backwards
simultaneously, blood spraying in the air like fountains. Even though they
used their spirit power to guard themselves as far as possible at the last
moment, don’t forget that the enemies they faced were powers of the same Title
Douluo level, and moreover they now didn’t face two Title Douluo,
but also the world’s number one support spirit master, Nine Color Douluo Ning
Rongrong. It was also those two bizarre rays of light from the Nine Treasure
Glazed Tile Pagoda that reversed the entire battle. The difference was that
Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing knew in advance that Ning Rongrong’s support would
arrive in time, while these two priests did not. Therefore, not only were
their defensive spirit power broken, they also suffered extreme injuries.
The most direct effect was that at the same time as the two priests were
blasted back, they were already unable to maintain their spirit avatars. As
blood splattered, White Tiger Douluo and Hell Douluo’s frightening spirit
power had already stabbed into their veins. Even though it wasn’t fatal, the
two priests were still severely injured, torn and mangled at their chests.
The first time Ning Rongrong used her ninth spirit ability in battle she
reversed the outcome of a fight between four powers, again proving her
strength as the world’s number one support tool spirit master. The ability she
used was called Nine Treasure Invincible Divine Light, its effect similar to
Xiao Wu’s Invincible Golden Body. The difference was that Xiao Wu’s Invincible
Golden Body could only be used on herself, with three second invincibility.
And Ning Rongrong’s Nine Treasure Invincible Divine Light could be used on any
target. It could be used ten times per day, and moreover and moreover didn’t
consume any of her spirit power. This was the frightening effect of a hundred
thousand year spirit ability. Of course it was also inextricably linked with
the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda’s quality as well.
It seemed like the Nine Treasure Invincible Divine Light could only last as
long as Invincible Golden Body, but in a battle between true powers, one
second invincibility could be equal to another life! Just like the earlier
attack, if not for Ning Rongrong’s Nine Treasure Invincible Divine Light, the
injured ones would be Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing. The Shrek Six Devils once
again relied on their cooperation to win from behind, injuring two powerful
enemies, and also finally breaking the balance of powers between both sides in
the battle.
Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing didn’t pursue, they weren’t just acting exhausted,
in forcing the previous attack after using Spirit Fusion Ability,
their spirit power was already at rock bottom. From the start of the battle,
without a doubt, they as the Hell White Tiger
Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing each produced a kind of thing, resplendent, a
cylinder with countless facets. If they said nothing, nobody would believe
this was actually a sausage, but rather more like a precious gem. The two
smiled at each other, somewhat helplessly swallowing the peculiar sausages. If
anyone planned on chewing to eat a sausage like this, their teeth would
definitely collapse. In fact, this sausage was hard like a real diamond. Only
by directly swallowing it could it take effect. This was Food God Douluo
Oscar’s ninth spirit ability, Half Again Diamond Sausage.
Why was it the Half Again Diamond Sausage? On the battlefield, this Half Again
Diamond Sausage made all your abilities half again that of your opponent, that
simple meaning. But the effect it had was absolutely terrifying.
If Oscar’s eighth spirit ability Crystal Caterpillar Sausage was described as
the best healing food, then this Half Again Diamond Sausage was the ideal
recovery food. Its effect wasn’t comparable to Oscar’s first spirit ability,
Big Recovery Sausage. After eating a Half Again Diamond Sausage, within three
seconds, physical strength, spirit power and mental strength would all recover
by half. Consider, when you were exhausted from fighting an opponent of nearly
the same strength as you, and ate this sausage, what would the result be?
Especially since Oscar made each Half Again Diamond Sausage after first eating
Erect Gold Fly, thereby adding ten ranks of effect to this Half Again Diamond
Sausage making it better called Double Diamond Sausage, fully recovering
spirit power and physical strength.
Three seconds, in just two breaths, Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing didn’t pursue
and attack, but in these two brief breaths, the paleness of their faces
disappeared completely, recovering their full strength.
If Ning Rongrong’s Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda was the Shrek Six Devils’
solid support, then Oscar’s sausage was their secret weapon. The manufacture
of this Half Again Sausage was rather challenging, enormously exhausting to
Oscar. To be able to produce six in the short time
it took them to return, giving the six devils one each, that wasn’t possible
with Oscar’s strength alone. But he could complete this arduous task with Tang
San’s Seagod divine power support. This was also an important factor for why
the Shrek Six Devils were confident in facing the six great priests. Relying
on Oscar’s sausage, they practically each had double the strength of the
opponents! The change in the situation also started from this moment.
The fourth and fifth priest resisted the pain, crawling up after rolling
across the ground. Their expressions were already extremely unsightly, and
they were just in time to see Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing’s changes. The two
priests’ eyes filled with incredulity, practically roaring in one voice: “This
is impossible!”
Dai Mubai laughed out loud, “If your Spirit Empire had a food type Title
Douluo as well, you would know this really isn’t impossible. Especially when
this food type Title Douluo even has a hundred thousand year spirit ability.
We’re not playing around.” While speaking, Dai mubai and Zhu Zhuqing shot
forward simultaneously, but not to continue attacking those two priests,
rather turning and charging straight at the Spirit Empire spirit master legion
on top of the wall. There, even the strongest spirit masters were just Spirit
Sages.
“Not good!” Golden Crocodile Douluo’s expression changed, roaring:
“Quick, Spirit Douluo level bishops, stop them!”
But, his cry was still a bit too late. Zhu Zhuqing as an agility attack type
Title Douluo was so fast that she flashed past in an instant, and even easily
used her sharp claws to cut the throat of a Spirit Douluo. Dai Mubai wasn’t as
fast as Zhu Zhuqing, but his spirit power had reached rank ninety five, and
also started his Hurricane right leg effect. With massively increased speed,
for a moment he wasn’t much slower than Zhu Zhuqing. Especially when they were
each hit by two support lights, agility buff and spirit power buff. As a
result, the two charged through in moments, leaving only a trail of carnage.
The fourth and fifth priests roused themselves, chasing after Dai Mubai and
Zhu Zhuqing. But at this moment, a scream resounded, and a large pile of
mincemeat blocked their way.
“Your opponent is me.” Tang Hao’s loud and infinitely aggressive voice
exploded. That pile of meat was one of the three Title Douluo that had faced
him. Tang Hao started very simply, ring detonation. He detonated his first
spirit ring, instantly erupting with attack power that wasn’t anything that
just promoted and still only rank ninety one power attack type Title Douluo
could withstand, and was instantly blasted into a pile of ground meat by the
Clear Sky Hammer’s terrifying strength.
The fourth and fifth priest felt a massive force come through, and as that
Clear SKy Hammer swung around, the two were already drawn into battle with
Tang Hao.
Facing four Title Douluo with his strength alone, after even killing one Title
Douluo, such aggressiveness was something only Tang Hao could accomplish on
the present battlefield.
Years of pent up frustrations seemed to explode in an instant. Tang Hao’s
Clear Sky Hammer churned up and down in the air like a black dragon. In a one
against four situation, he was still the attacking side. Such boldness and
terrifying strength!
Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing’s display had completely roused the fighting spirit
of this Clear Sky Douluo, and he perfectly displayed the Great Sumeru Hammer.
In fact, Tang Hao had studied the
WIth nothing to trouble them in the rear, Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing fused once
again in the air, that terrifying Hell White Tiger reappearing on top of the
walls. The difference was that this time they didn’t face the second priest
Golden Crocodile Douluo, but rather those universally rank seventy or less
Spirit Empire spirit master legions.
What would you call a tiger in a flock of sheep? At the same time as the Hell
White Tiger charged into the group of people, the Spirit Empire’s spirit
masters fully understood meaning the saying.
Meet them head on? Even the second priest was smacked straight into the wall,
what could they do? Fear instantly spread, and the moment the Hell White Tiger
charged into the crowd, it reaped the lives of several dozen
Spirit Empire spirit masters. Even more terrifying, some low level spirit
masters with less than rank forty spirit power were actually directly scared
unconscious from the pressure of the beast. Fainting on the ground here was no
different from dying, their allies’ feet was enough to end their lives.
In fact, on this wall, there were close to twenty thousand Spirit Empire
spirit masters. To block the Heaven Dou imperial army’s siege, Golden
Crocodile Douluo had concentrated practically their entire spirit master
strength here. However, against a power that could briefly reach the god
level, what could these ordinary spirit masters do?
The Hell White Tiger’s wings suddenly flapped, and at the same time as that
enormous body was pushed into the air, a terrifying white light suddenly
pressed down. Within a hundred meter diameter, the entire wall issued cracking
sounds. The spirit masters within this range were blown to pieces, not one
could live to see the next sunrise.
Now, even the spirit masters far away from the Hell White Tiger panicked. Who
could still mind pouring down attacks? There was a mad scramble to escape, all
kinds of spirit ability lights constantly flickering on the walls.
How could the Heaven Dou Empire let such a chance slip? The Strength and
Defense hall teams mobilized against the walls a second time, renewing their
attack on the gates.
It was also at this moment, unnoticed by the Spirit Empire spirit masters,
what seemed like a giant green serpent had quietly slithered up to crest the
wall, dark moss green, clinging to the walls and extending its head above
Jialing Pass. And this giant serpent just crawling up, seemed innocent and
naive.
No need to ask, this dark green giant serpent was precisely Poison Douluo with
the Jade Phosphorous Serpent Emperor spirit, Dugu Bo.
Dugu Bo wouldn’t fight head on. Among Title Douluo level powers, he could be
said to be the weakest, even a Spirit Douluo level power attack type spirit
master might be stronger than him in a straight up fight.
However, in terms of destructive power on the battlefield, none on the Heaven
Dou Empire’s side dared compare themselves to him, except perhaps Tang San.
Abilities like poison really weren’t just and honorable, and its effect was
also limited when facing a true power. After all, stronger spirit masters had
a very strong resistance to poison. However, if poison was cultivated to Dugu
Bo’s level, reaching Title Douluo, then that was another matter entirely. Even
clearly stronger Title Douluo wouldn’t easily want to fight him. In the
previous battle, the Spirit Empire had specially dispatched Blowfish Douluo to
counter him, but he was currently one of the four Title Douluo trapped in
battle against Tang Hao. With no opponent that could restrain him, Dugu Bo’s
cold expression flickered with vicious light. The Jade Phosphorous Serpent
Emperor spirit avatar lay quietly on the ground, layer upon layer of dark
green light slowly spreading, just in the direction of the Spirit Empire
spirit masters.
From the beginning, Dugu Bo not joining the entire battle was Grandmaster’s
plan, he was waiting for just this kind of chaotic situation. Right now nobody
had noticed him, and he had ample time to release his Jade Phosphor poison.
Title Douluo level poison, without exaggeration, had the power to massacre
cities. Back when Bibi Dong led the army to Jialing Pass, her first target was
Dugu Bo, and was only unsuccessful because of Tang San’s awe inspiring
display. Now, the Spirit Empire would pay a heavy price for their mistake.
In order to produce the full effect of his poison, Dugu Bo deviously made his
spirit avatar as small as possible, and the poison he released wouldn’t take
effect immediately, only imperceptibly transmitting his Jade Phosphorous
Serpent Emperor poison into the ground atop Jialing Pass, only gradually
turning it dark green, and quickly spreading out. Even the spirit masters
standing on the ground didn’t feel anything at the moment, because the poison
was completely accumulated inside the rock. With the battle so intense, and
the Hell White Tiger rampaging, who would notice the rock changing color at
this moment? Even more when the ground was granite, which was dark gray to
begin with, the dark green color change wasn’t completely obvious.
This old poisonous creature was extremely cunning when deploying his poison.
He didn’t spread it towards those Spirit Douluo. The stronger the spirit
master, the easier they would notice. His target was only those quantitatively
enormous but mostly below rank seventy mid- and low level spirit masters. A
wicked smile was already gradually appearing on Dugu Bo’s face.
Chapter 327
Boom boom boom boom—— Another four explosions that shook all of Jialing Pass
reverberated again. Following the opportunity from the chaos created as the
Hell White Tiger suddenly charged into the Spirit Empire spirit master legion,
the small Tang Sect wall breaking teams sortied once again. This time they
were even better prepared, with an even longer run- up. Because of the chaos
on top of the walls, the Defense Hall disciples also shared some men to help
the Strength Hall disciples carry the giant battering rams towards the gates,
and those five hundred thousand jin weights turned
even more terrifying.
Giant depressions appeared in the gates, and with this overbearing strike, the
million Heaven Dou troops also roared, their voices becoming the motivation
for the Strength and Defense Hall disciples. Quickly retreating, the third
strike followed.
One giant crack after another began to appear in the walls holding the gates.
Even though the iron gates were thick and strong enough, that didn’t mean the
walls were as strong. The giant iron gates were already starting to deform
under the assault, and the surrounding walls were less and less able to
withstand it.
On top of the walls, Golden Crocodile Douluo’s eyes were already red. Of
course he knew what the result of the gates being battered would be,
“Bastards, attack, stop them! Block them even if you die!” His roar was
doubtlessly aimed at the spirit master legion. After a series of disturbances,
the spirit mater legion’s more than ten thousand spirit masters now also
settled down.
Even though the Hell White Tiger was formidable, in the end it faced a several
tens of thousands strong spirit master army. The physical strength of spirit
masters far surpassed that of ordinary people, and at the same time as it had
killed several hundred enemies, the Hell White Tiger had also spent an
enormous amount of strength. In panic, the Spirit Empire spirit masters
unleashed a constant barrage of spirit abilities towards it, and the attacks
were just too many. The Hell White Tiger’s remaining energy fell even faster
than when it faced the fourth and fifth priests.
Besieged by numerous spirit masters, even if each of the Hell White Tiger’s
attacks could take the lives of several dozen spirit masters, by the light it
radiated, its attacks wouldn’t be able to keep up for too long. The Spirit
Empire spirit masters also managed to sober up, still pouring the majority of
their attacks towards the Hell White Tiger, while a small number had their
hands free and once again started attacking the Tang Sect teams below the
wall. They also knew that breaking Jialing Pass definitely wouldn’t be so
easy.
“Boss Dai, retreat.” Ma Hongjun who was just keeping the six priest busy
constantly launched dive attacks from the air. Because he was in midair, he
saw the situation on the field the most clearly. Nobody on the Spirit Empire
side spotted that slithering Jade Phosphorous Serpent Emperor, but he saw
clearly. In particular the Spirit Empire spirit masters by Dai Mubai had
already regrouped, the majority focusing their attacks on the Hell White
Tiger. If this went on, no matter how strong Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing were,
they would still die from exhaustion. After all, they’d already eaten the Half
Again Diamond Sausage, and there was no way to completely recover their spirit
power again. Like ants can bite an elephant to death, those were after all
legion scale spirit masters.
Dai Mubai also knew they couldn’t continue. When he heard Ma Hongjun’s
warning, the Hell White Tiger once again exhibited fearsome explosive
strength, a massive white energy sweeping out in an instant. This time, more
than a hundred spirit masters were blasted away by the explosion, halting the
numerous spirit abilities targeting the Hell White
Tiger. The Hell White Tiger also used this chance to leap out. Not into the
battlefield of powers, but rather straight down from the walls. Their mission
was already complete, and without much spirit power remaining, they had to
retreat to safety to recover. While still in the air, the Hell White Tiger
dispersed, again transforming into Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing. Even though they
looked exhausted, the excitement on their faces was still clear and easy to
see. From the start of the battle until now, without a doubt, they had
produced the most glorious accomplishments.
Right now, on top of Jialing Pass, in the battle of powers the Heaven Dou
Empire side had gained the advantage, relying on the support of Ning Fengzhi
and his daughter Ning Rongrong below the walls to heavily injure another
portion of the enemies. The Spirit Empire side now needed those rank eighty
something spirit masters to fight at all costs to barely manage to block the
attacks with the few priests and Title Douluo. But these Spirit Douluo were
quickly losing numbers. Xiao Wu teleported among them like a ghost, using her
formidable Soft Skill to grasp and take away their lives. With each less
enemy, the resistance they faced naturally also reduced. It could be expected
that the Heaven Dou Empire side’s powers at least wouldn’t lose this battle.
After all, Xiao Wu, Ma Hongjun and Oscar still hadn’t used their Half Again
Diamond Sausages. They could still at any time join the battle with their peak
strength. Ning Rongrong who also possessed a Half Again Diamond Sausage
shouldn’t have any trouble keeping up with the situation either.
As the Hell White Tiger left the walls, the commander in charge Golden
Crocodile Douluo also temporarily heaved a sigh of relief. Even though the
Hell White Tiger had killed nearly a thousand spirit master legion spirit
masters in this short time, the spirit masters on the walls were after all
numerous. As
But before Golden Crocodile Douluo had caught his breath, he suddenly saw a
pale old man slowly stand up from the walls. The dark green robe, as well as
that characteristic dark green hair, suddenly made Golden Crocodile Douluo’s
heart sink.
Of course he recognized this person, back when he’d travelled to Spirit Hall’s
Douluo Palace to be conferred a Title, it was Golden Crocodile
Douluo who officiated for him. If it was anywhere else, Golden Crocodile
Douluo might not spare him a second glance, but this person, if it was on the
battlefield, became the most terrifying existence. Dugu Bo.
Dugu Bo seemed to sense Golden Crocodile Douluo looking at him, turning his
head in that direction and grinning, revealing pale white teeth. Right now his
complexion was sickly, pale as a sheet of paper, clearly looking spent. But
Golden Crocodile Douluo understood well the reason this Poison Douluo hadn’t
been seen in the battle until now, an ice cold chill instantly running down
his arms and legs, his whole body trembling uncontrollably. His mind was
blank.
As if confirming his thoughts, Dugu Bo’s eyes suddenly turned green, his face
filling with vicious pleasure, both hands simultaneously making a raising
gesture.
There was no rumbling or awe inspiring explosions. With Dugu Bo’s gesture,
thick green gas began to rise from the walls. Besides where the powers of both
sides were fighting, that green gas spread practically to every corner of the
walls. It seemed rather strange.
Just at the start, that gas was still extremely faint, and didn’t draw the
attention of anyone on the Spirit Empire side. However, when the first scream
began, an even more intense disturbance started than when the Hell White Tiger
leapt into their midst.
The first scream came from an archer. When he nocked an arrow, he suddenly
discovered that his hand had at some point turned green, and an ice cold
feeling instantly came from his heart. His scream erupted with extreme fear.
The next moment, his whole body had become dark green, vomiting bloody fluid,
then silently collapsing.
It had to be said, while Dugu Bo’s Jade Phosphorous Serpent Emperor poison was
terrifying, it didn’t cause all that much pain. When that ice cold feeling
reached the brain, the poison was already attacking the heart, and would be
fatal in less than three breaths.
Of course, this was for ordinary people. Spirit masters had much stronger
resistance than ordinary people, so they of course lasted a bit longer. But
the difference was still counted in seconds. For spirit masters at rank
seventy and below, each rank of spirit power could give them one second. As
that dark green light invaded their whole bodies, they could only feel even
more fear.
Practically eighty percent of all the Spirit Empire spirit masters in Jialing
Pass were on top of the walls. When that thick green fog covered the top of
the walls, they discovered that their bodies had already started turning
green. Some who had been injured in the earlier fighting died instantly from
the poison, and even those with relatively high spirit power could clearly
feel that ice cold breath spreading through their bodies.
That basically wasn’t something that could be resisted with spirit power. The
more they used their spirit power, the faster their blood flowed, and the
sooner they died. The entire top of the Jialing Pass walls were filled with a
verdant green luster.
Don’t mention the Spirit Empire spirit masters who were inside, even the
Heaven DOu Empire troops below the walls were shocked, their shouts quieting
down.
Xue Beng and marshal Ge Long shared a glance, both equally feeling deep fear.
Xue Beng and his uncle prince Xue Xing were originally very close to Poison
Douluo. However, after Xue Beng took the throne and came into contact with
more and more powers, especially peak powers like Tang San and his father, he
had somewhat come to neglect Poison Douluo’s existence. After all, Dugu Bo’s
direct fighting power really wasn’t anything among Title Douluo, even now the
Golden Iron Triangle’s Golden Saint Dragon could reliably defeat him.
However, on a true battlefield, they now suddenly realized that, among all
spirit masters, the ones that could truly be regarded as weapons of mass
destruction really weren’t those rank ninety five and above Title Douluo
powers, maybe not even king Lan Hao who was fighting the enemy god level power
high in the sky, but rather the one that didn’t show a trace of himself in the
last few battles, quietly hiding in the chaos, Poison Douluo.
Finally at this critical juncture, Poison Douluo himself revealed his true
strength, instilling absolutely nightmare level fear on the Spirit Empire.
Actually, it wasn’t that Dugu Bo didn’t want to show his abilities in the
earlier battles, it was really because the Spirit Empire was carefully
targeting him, making his abilities unusable. In the Spirit Empire there were
altogether two that could reliably counter him. One was Blowfish Douluo who he
once fought and who completely suppressed him, and the other was even
stronger, the Spirit Empire’s reigning empress, Bibi Dong. Bibi Dong’s twin
spirits also had poison abilities, and Dugu Bo’s Jade Phosphor Serpent Emperor
basically wasn’t the match of her two kinds of spider poison, especially Bibi
Dong’s
But on the current battlefield, Blowfish Douluo basically couldn’t step away
to face him, and Bibi Dong had never even appeared, so Dugu Bo knew his chance
had come, and he also acted carefully. The serpent form was the epitome of
assassination, waiting motionless, then striking with full force in one
movement. It was one of the most outstanding killers. At this moment, as the
Jade Phosphor Serpent Emperor poison spread over the entire top of Jialing
Pass, this battle had already shifted.
Screams covered the top of Jialing Pass like a tidal wave. Those archers had
just reached the top and still hadn’t loosed three volleys, but lost their
lives without any suspense from this poison. The firepower pouring down below
immediately came to a stop. Those ballistae suffered the same ending. The
Spirit Empire spirit master legion was also already in chaos. As long as they
were infected by a tiny bit of that poison, their bodies would be corroded
from the toxin, basically without any chance of survival. Using their spirit
power in panic would make the poison spread even faster. Amidst the screams,
more and more spirit masters fell within the green mist.
Some spirit masters immediately leapt off the walls after discovering what was
going on. Want to run? Where to? No matter how fast they were, there was no
way to be faster than the toxin that suddenly emerged after being hidden in
the rock. As long as they were infected at all, they would immediately become
poison carriers. When they ran down the walls, more often than not the poison
had already struck their hearts, and their bodies
became a poison source, mist spreading from them to cover the inside of the
walls even faster.
Confronted with this scene, even Dugu Bo himself couldn’t help feeling
shocked. Even though he had the ability, this was still the first time he used
it in such a large scale confrontation. Watching one previously vibrant life
after another be lost to his poison, he also shivered somewhat. If this poison
kept spreading, Jialing Pass might become a land of the dead even without the
Heaven Dou Empire’s army attacking. The most frightening aspect of this Jade
Phosphor Serpent Emperor poison was how it bred in blood, each corpse would be
a new vector, creating more and more poison.
When Dugu Bo acted, he only wanted to kill as many enemies as possible, and so
put all his effort in spreading his poison over as large an area as possible.
However, as tens of thousands died to this poison, and more and more people
fled from the walls before dying, this poison was already beyond his control.
Even he himself had no way of pulling back this much poison within him.
This was a battlefield, and the war still continued. Nobody had yet noticed
these problems. Without the threat of attacks from above, the four gates of
Jialing Pass were struck time and time again. Soon, those five meter thick
giant gates were already being hammered backwards, each attack making it shift
a little further. Breaking the gates was only a matter of time.
Golden Crocodile Douluo retched, vomiting out another mouthful of blood. Over,
everything was over. When he saw Poison Douluo shoot him a smile, he knew this
battle was already finished. Even if Qian Renxue could return now, it was
still impossible to make up for such enormous losses. The Spirit Empire spirit
master casualties caused by all the other Heaven Dou Empire powers combined
wasn’t even a tenth of Dugu Bo’s. Even though those relatively higher level
powers still struggled within the poison, their deaths were only a matter of
time. As the number of corpses increased, the poison atop the walls was
already growing thicker and thicker, this was a dead land! Even the powers of
both sides were already starting to be influenced by the poison, having no
choice but to project spirit power to block the toxic onslaught.
Seeing that lush green area, Tang Hao also couldn’t help frowning, but Dugu Bo
was doing it for victory, and he couldn’t easily say anything. But a faint
feeling of unease still rose in his heart. Even if the Spirit Empire was the
enemy, there was a massive military force amassed within the pass, at least
half a million troops. To all die from poison like this really was unjust.
However, Who could stop it from happening?
Boom—— The four gates of Jialing Pass were finally forced open, but Xue Beng
didn’t give the order to advance. At this moment, he basically had no way of
giving the order. After the gates were opened, he could already see that green
mist filling the inside of the fortress, he couldn’t let his soldiers charge
into poison.
Marshal Ge Long was worthy of a famed general, immediately taking action and
passing down orders, “Order the archer legions, spirit master legion and the
Tang Army to focus their attack on the gates. If any enemies sortie,
immediately kill them at range, let none escape!” All he could do now was stop
Dugu Bo’s poison from spreading towards the Heaven Dou army. Otherwise, this
battle would have no winner. It would also become the deadliest battle in
history.
Just while the fighting sank into a strange atmosphere due to the poison, ten
kilometers in the air, Tang San and Qian Renxue’s battle had reached a white
hot intensity.
Boom—— Scorching flame suddenly erupted like magma, uncountable flame arrows
shooting towards that blue silhouette in the air. Qian Renxue had already
become completely scarlet. In order to oppose Tang San, she faced the danger
of at any time being erased by the True Sunfire overload to absorb the energy
of the sun.
Compared to Qian Renxue’s near
Tang San was in no rush, he clearly knew that Qian Renxue was like someone
quenching their thirst with poison, her offensive might seem incredibly
severe, even forcing Tang San back in retreat, but in fact, her severe attacks
might end at any moment from being unable to bear the True Sunfire, and even
her survival couldn’t be guaranteed.
As this went on, all Tang San did was defend, relying on the power he absorbed
from the ocean to create an unbreakable guard. If Qian Renxue planned to pull
him into death, Tang San would immediately rely on his divine sense being
stronger than hers to escape a step in advance, not clashing with her head on,
not giving her the chance to burn either jade nor common stone. He only
gradually exhausted her divine power.
Qian Renxue had already begun to feel powerless. Watching Tang San in divine
raiment confront her, her thoughts grew even more brittle. In front of this
man, she never truly held the advantage. He really was too clever and too sly.
He didn’t even give her the chance to die together. Of course Qian Renxue
understood what Tang San planned, he was going to keep exhausting her, never
confronting her until she didn’t even have the chance to pull him into death.
Even though the two fought ten kilometers up, with their divine senses they
still clearly understood the situation on the battlefield below. Qian Renxue
originally thought that as long as she stalled Tang San, by relying on their
superior numbers of spirit masters, the Spirit Empire repelling the Heaven Dou
army wouldn’t be any problem. However, she clearly perceived that it was her
side that retreated step by step, and soon the Spirit Empire would be unable
to resist.
The more this was the case, the more anxious Qian Renxue felt, and the
steadier Tang San was.
The red light dwindled, and Qian Renxue’s attacks suddenly came to a stop.
Coldly watching Tang San, she gasped for breath. It seemed she couldn’t endure
it any longer. She’d always been the attacking side, and her divine abilities
weren’t as good as Tang San’s either. She’d lost comprehensively. Tang San had
relied on his stronger divine sense to always predict the next move, making
her attacks unable to reach their greatest effect. Unfixed Storm could always
appear at the right moment, dissolving her attacks.
Moreover, Tang San’s recovery rate made his battle endurance even stronger
than hers, and even his defensive power was higher. Qian Renxue basically
could do nothing.
Watching Qian Renxue panting from a distance, Tang San showed no intention of
taking advantage and attacking, instead calmly floating in the air, breathing
rhythmically, the Seagod Eight Wings on his back beating slowly, absorbing the
energy of the ocean to restore him.
“Qian Renxue, there’s no need for this. You should understand showing weakness
to the enemy will never work on me. I wouldn’t be tricked. You still have
enough strength to attack, no?” Tang San spoke softly, his all-knowing
appearance nearly making Qian Renxue grind her silvery teeth down to nubs.
“Tang San, don’t tell me you didn’t sense Poison Douluo’s attack? There’s more
than five hundred thousand people within Jialing Pass, before long it will be
a graveyard. As the root of it, don’t you fear the wrath of Heaven?”
Tang San gave a gold laugh, “You don’t need to mention that to me, back when
your Spirit Hall raided the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan and exterminated
the whole sect, did you consider the wrath of Heaven? When your Spirit Hall
attacked my parents, did you consider the wrath of Heaven? The dying are the
Spirit Empire’s people, how are they related to me? You should be the one to
worry.”
Qian Renxue snarled: “Tang San, I really misjudged you. Come! Come here, if
you have the skill, kill me now.”
Tang San frowned: “You’re trying to anger me even now? Fine, I will give you
the chance, did you think I really was a fraid of your ‘dying together’ card?”
While speaking, every piece of Tang San’s armor brightened, the blue light in
the surroundings instantly pouring inside. The Seagod Raiment became
completely transparent, including the Seagod Trident in his hand. Blurring,
leaving a string of afterimages, Tang San pounced towards Qian Renxue.
Even though he talked about not caring about the hundreds of thousands of
lives in Jialing Pass, could he really ignore them? He didn’t fear the
wrath of Heaven, but Tang San’s nature was kind hearted. Even though this was
war, hundreds of thousands of people dying from poison, and it might even
spread, this definitely wasn’t something he wanted to see. The outcome of this
battle was actually already decided, he had no wish to see it become a
graveyard.
Qian Renxue’s expression chilled. By Tang San’s appearance she understood that
he had condensed all the Seagod divine power onto himself. Even without using
any ability, god level powers were the most terrifying in this state. His body
was absolutely a deadly weapon, not something she could harm with ranged
attacks.
Red light equally condensed on Qian Renxue, her Angelic Raiment turning the
color of ruby, holding the Sacred Angelic Sword at her side, light and shadow
flashing, six wings beating, she charged straight at Tang San. The next fight
was her last chance.
Faint light flickered, Tang San’s face radiating ice cold divine light, the
Seagod Trident in his hand chopping straight for Qian Renxue like it was
separating heaven and earth. The next fight wasn’t flashy, all they could
fight with was the most primal divine power.
The Sacred Angelic Sword in Qian Renxue’s hand rose, slashing horizontally
like lightning, the sword
The Seagod Trident was a polearm, and her Sacred Angelic Sword a short weapon.
Of course she would get as close to Tang San as possible, attacking inside his
range.
Confronted with Qian Renxue’s shoulder strike, Tang San didn’t dodge. He
suddenly let the Seagod Trident slip in his hand, sliding his hand to hold the
trident in the middle, using it like a sword to cut towards Qian Renxue’s neck
with the main blade.
Qian Renxue’s earlier attack was of course a bit faster, her left shoulder
directly smashing Tang San’s stomach. Even though she didn’t think her attack
would hit, as the God of Angels, her reflexes were incredibly fast, instantly
raising her force to the limit. As long as her tackle hit, Tang San’s
Seagod Trident basically wasn’t a threat. He would be knocked away, and what
could that trident do then?
However, the instant Qian Renxue’s shoulder struck Tang San, she suddenly felt
something was wrong. Tang San was clearly hit, but the armor on his chest
suddenly pulled back, like he was sucking in his belly, reducing the effect of
her strike by at least half. The next moment, the rhombic gem on his chest
plate suddenly flared, and his whole body bent like a bow and then snapped
back, his chest striking in reverse, smashing into Qian Renxue’s shoulder.
Tang San’s two lives’ worth of experience really was richer than Qian Renxue.
She was after all a girl, she’d never thought about using her chest muscles as
a weapon. With an explosive sound, a red halo appearing around Tang San, and a
blue maelstrom around Qian Renxue. Both their divine power simultaneously
invaded the enemy, none coming off easy.
If it was just the collision, then this strike would be a tie. Even though
Qian Renxue’s shoulder tackle had charged force, ingeniously dissolved by Tang
San it couldn’t show its full effect, and the force Tang San could exert with
his chest was also limited, the attacker and defender naturally weren’t much
different. However, don’t forget that Tang San was still swinging the trident.
Tang San’s chest counter was naturally within his own plans, but even though
Qian Renxue cut with the Sacred Angelic Sword, it was just in order to make
her attack knock Tang San away. With her plan deficient, Qian Renxue now
looked to be eating a major loss.
Qian Renxue reacted very quickly. Discovering the situation, she immediately
spun, three of the feathered wings on her back extending like sharp blades
towards Tang San’s Seagod Trident, trying to use the power of the Angelic
Wings to give her a chance to catch her breath. However, even though the
Angelic Wings could be used for defense, they were more for condensing divine
power. Moreover, Tang San came from the Tang Sect, his wrist strength
application really was too powerful.
With a few dextrous motions from Tang San’s fingers, the Seagod Trident
flashed, the main blade sweeping past Qian Renxue’s wings, stabbing from below
at the root of the Angelic Wings. Despite Qian Renxue’s quick movements, at
this time, a stream of pure Seagod’s power also stabbed into her body. And at
the same time, the Seagod Trident pulled back, the barbs on the side blades
raking across Qian Renxue’s waist. Where they passed, red sparks flew,
instantly cutting a large hole in the Angelic Raiment’s waist armor.
Whether the Angelic Raiment or the Seagod Raiment, their defensive strength
was insurmountable for ordinary spirit masters. But for Tang San and Qian
Renxue, their attacks could forcefully overcome it. If each divine weapon
really hit the opponent directly, their divine raiment could only give a
measure of protection, and not truly block the attack.
With a cruel sound, Qian Renxue quickly spun, tumbling away, golden red blood
spraying from the base of her wings, turning to mist in the air.
The lower pair of Qian Renxue’s six wings were clearly slower, and the
Seagod’s power she endured both from within and outside was clearly more
intense than the True Sunfire Tang San endured. Pain spread through her whole
body, making her spasm violently.
Since Tang San had decided to act, he would go all out. He had to finish Qian
Renxue as soon as possible to control the situation before the Jade
Phosphorous Serpent Emperor poison completely erupted.
Humph—— Tang San issued a cold snort, his whole body shook once, the Seagod’s
power within him completely erupting, forcibly dissolving the True Sunfire.
Even though Qian Renxue did the same, she was one beat slower than Tang San.
The Seagod trident swung, a massive blue wheel of light appearing around Tang
San. THat wasn’t a Seagod power attack, but rather the Seagod Trident itself,
as the main blade shone with light as Tang San swung it. This move was the
tenth of the Golden Thirteen Halberds, named: Ocean’s Sun.
Qian Renxue roared, biting down on the tip of her tongue, spitting out a
mouthful of blood on her Sacred Angelic Sword. Her whole body seemed to
subsequently expand somewhat. With an explosive sound, in just this instant,
her Angelic Raiment unexpectedly completely shattered, sweeping out as a giant
flame. The power of True Sunfire unleashed by the Angelic Raiment shattering
condensed into a giant angel silhouette in the air, the terrifying energy even
turning the surrounding space black, the scene of space being cut open!
This was an attack Qian Renxue had charged up strength for for a long time,
and also her utmost attack. All her Angelic divine power was completely
condensed into that shattered Angelic Raiment.
Chapter 328
In fact, the Angelic Raiment was a divine item connected to the God of Angels’
life. Even though it could recover after being broken, it was still an
enormous injury to the God of Angels itself. After this attack, Qian Renxue’s
strength sharply declined by ninety percent, failure meant risking her life.
Moreover, within three days, her strength could only reach ten percent.
If at this moment, Tang San disregarded everything to launch the Sun of the
Sea, Qian Renxue’s all out attack would only target his body, and she would
inevitably die by Tang San’s hands. However, it was basically impossible for
Tang San to dodge Qian Renxue’s all out attack. The final result would very
likely be both dying together. Qian Renxue had waited so long, waited for this
opportunity. After launching this attack, she wouldn’t even be able to stay
flying on her own, and would go tumbling to the ground. Pouring her last
strength into her voice, her full divine sense breaking out, she shouted
towards Jialing Pass: “People of the Spirit Empire, leave Jialing Pass,
retreat!”
Compared to Tang San, she was of course even more reluctant to part with
practically all of the Spirit Empire’s strength. The spirit master casualties
already exceeded eighty percent, it was impossible to hold Jialing Pass any
more. She also wondered if she even had the strength remaining to dispel the
poison. What she could do now was only hope to spare some embers of the Spirit
Empire. Her heart was already set, the next moment she might be swallowed by
Tang San’s attack.
However, the attack Qian Renxue anticipated never came. Her body fell straight
towards Jialing Pass. Qian Renxue barely managed to turn herself around. He
didn’t attack me? Why? She absolutely didn’t believe that Tang San could dodge
her last attack.
Actually, QIan Renxue still planned to tie Tang San up a while longer, looking
for an even better opportunity, her move was also inspired by Tang San’s Great
Sumeru Hammer Ring Detonation. However, she was injured by Tang San in one
exchange, and seeing him charge over she knew that if she didn’t act, she
might never have the chance. So she unleashed her offensive regardless of
everything, erupting with all her divine power and divine raiment, condensing
it with the True Sunfire.
True, Tang San couldn’t possibly dodge Qian Renxue’s attack. Facing the Sun
Angel that was turning back from red to golden in the air, with temperature
reaching an extremely terrifying degree, Tang San smiled. He had so far never
agreed to meet Qian Renxue head-on, wasn’t that to guard against her dragging
him to death? How could he make such a mistake now?
Within the resounding explosion, Qian Renxue incredulously saw Tang San’s body
actually shatter in the air, or to be more precise, his Seagod’s Raiment
shatter. But not completely exploding into energy like her Angelic Raiment
did, but rather break off piece by piece, then reassembling. Tang San’s body
turned into a ray of blue light, becoming a part of this combination.
A brand new Seagod Trident appeared in the air, more than twice as large as
before. The original blue light had disappeared, becoming the purest golden
color. Yes, this was the true Seagod’s divine weapon, the Golden Trident’s
original appearance.
“Body and weapon unity, The Big Dipper Turns And Stars Move.” The Golden
Thirteen Halberds’ final form.
A speck of resplendent golden light abruptly burst from the tip of the Golden
Trident’s main blade, cutting violently towards that Sun Angel in the sky.
Just as the Sun Angel’s scorching energy enveloped it, this Golden
Trident turned, rolled, swung. The three simplest, but also the most effective
movements.
The Sun Angel was wrapped up by the strange golden light and compressed into a
ball, then instantly tossed out, even higher into the sky.
The next moment, in the distant sky, a layer of golden and red light instantly
made the entire sky change color.
Boom—— Qian Renxue smashed heavily onto the wall. Her fall had already drawn
the attention of the powers of both sides below, and due to the unconfirmed
circumstances of the situation, Tang Hao promptly ordered the retreat. After
all, the state of the battle was already irreversible, it wasn’t necessary to
corner the enemy.
Amidst a violent explosion, the powers of both sides immediately broke off the
battle, and the Heaven Dou Empire’s side retreated off Jialing Pass.
Falling ten thousand kilometers, what a terrifying force of impact. Before
Qian Renxue had even hit, Golden Crocodile Douluo saw the Angelic Raiment was
missing, and radiating a reddish golden light, it was very difficult for Qian
Renxue to control her body. This second priest had given his life to Spirit
Hall. Now, he smashed his chest with both fists, making his whole body
instantly expand, his skin turning completely blood red. With a loud
explosion, he exploded.
Luckily Tang Hao had quickly ordered the retreat, and wasn’t affected by this
peak Douluo’s suicide bombing. A massive blood mist burst out in the air, and
Qian Renxue felt herself being buoyed by a great force, then smashed heavily
into the top of the wall. Despite Golden Crocodile douluo giving his life to
support it, this strike still smashed out a large hole in the walls.
Qian Renxue was after all a god, at a time like this, with Golden Crocodile
Douluo’s support, she’d already caught a breath. This violent collision was
nothing to her. Intense grief flooded her heart. Her conviction of certain
death suddenly disappeared, she remembered that even just for Golden Crocodile
Douluo, she couldn’t die like this.
Bouncing to her feet, she yelled: “Retreat!”
Only four now remained of the six grand priests, and another two
In the sky, the Golden Trident broke apart, Tang San returning. A tired
paleness flashed across his face. Even though he’d relied on his already
prepared Golden Thirteen Halberds’ final form to resolve Qian Renxue’s life
strike, he was still considerably exhausted. The Seagod Eight Wings on his
back had already become completely blue, frantically absorbing the energy of
the ocean.
Adjusting his divine power, Tang San then descended, relying on his god level
Purple Demon Eye, he just saw Qian Renxue and the Spirit Empire powers quickly
retreat.
Want to leave like this? Tang San gave a cold snort. Even though his divine
power was quite exhausted, his recovery was also extremely fast. Swinging the
Seagod Trident, a Millennial Space launched.
Enormous pressure suddenly appearing behind her, Qian Renxue clenched her
silvery teeth. In the sunshine, she just managed to maintain her divine power,
but she very clearly understood that if Tang San pursued her now, she
basically couldn’t run.
Just at this moment, the effect of Spirit Halls’ years of experience showed
itself. The fourth and fifth priest brothers roared simultaneously, turning
around, their spirits instantly exploding, spreading all the energy in the
air. Within a loud explosion, they exploded into two clouds of blood mist.
Golden light clouds burst in midair, the power of Millennial Space consuming
the two priests’ detonation energy in practically an instant. However, their
sacrifice still gave Qian Renxue a certain time to escape.
The might of Millennial Space of course wasn’t so easily dissolved, three of
the escaping Title Douluo were also drawn into it, directly exploding into
blood mist. Including the priests, with this attack, half of the ten Title
Douluo level powers were gone.
But Tang San didn’t keep pursuing. If he kept attacking now, Qian Renxue
wouldn’t stand a chance, nothing would remain for her but death. However, at
the same time as he launched this Millennial Space, Tang San clearly saw how
an entire third of the range of Jialing Pass was influenced by green. With
every second, thousands of lives were lost within.
Retreat? There were more than half a million men within this enormous fort,
how could they retreat at just the word? Corpse after corpse constantly
exploded with mist, even starting to spread outside the walls. Tang San
couldn’t help sighing, Qian Renxue, I’ll let you live a moment longer.
It seemed to Tang San that the Spirit Empire no longer had a chance to make a
comeback. Jialing Pass was what it was, and he had seriously injured Qian
Renxue, the Angelic Raiment definitely couldn’t be restored quickly. In her
current state, it was impossible to hide her divine sense from his search.
He’d first deal with the danger of the poison in front of him before going to
chase her.
His kind heart as well as control over the situation made Tang San temporarily
set aside chasing Qian Renxue, but he didn’t know that his kindness in this
moment would bring him enormous danger.
Controlling himself to gloat over the walls of Jialing pass, Tang San glanced
somewhat helplessly at Poison Douluo who had already returned to his original
position with a dull expression. Oh, old freak, you are the one who decided
the outcome of this battle. Maybe even you didn’t expect it to be like this.
As for the aftermath, leave it to me.
Floating in midair, blossoming with sapphire light immediately made Tang San
the focal point of the entire battlefield. Especially the Heaven Dou army
clearly saw Qian Renxue fall like a flaming meteor, smashing into the top of
Jialing Pass, while Tang San flew down. This alone was enough to tell them the
outcome of the battle of gods.
Although the green mist was still bubbling op from within Jialing Pass, these
million troops roared excitedly like fanatical believers in Tang San. To them
it seemed like there was no problem Tang San couldn’t solve. Even
the Heaven Dou emperor Xue Beng felt such zealous worship, let alone the
common soldiers.
“Sea——god——, long—— live——, Sea—— god——, long—— live
——!” Everyone knew that the winner of this battle was already decided, the
Spirit Empire no longer had the strength to counter attack. Even though it
couldn’t be called effortless, the entire Heaven Dou army still hadn’t been
thrown into the battlefield before it was already over. People had only one
life, who wouldn’t be excited if they could win without risking it?
The rhombic gem in the Seagod headband brightened, flashing like a point
burning with Tang San’s ocean power. The Seagod’s Heart on the Seagod Trident,
as well as the whirlpool gem on the Seagod chest armor brightened at the same
time.
As Tang San raised the Seagod Trident above his head, the light of these three
gems spun into one straight line in the air. Surging blue light quickly
condensed into a hundred meter diameter giant blue whirlpool soaring towards
the sky with him as the center.
The sky previously bright with sunshine instantly darkened, and vast expanses
of black clouds formed above Jialing Pass at a speed visible to the naked eye.
The atmosphere also became oppressive.
When large drops of rain began to fall from the sky, they were still just
sporadic, but very soon it turned into a downpour, roaring down on Jialing
Pass.
Just what is called ‘fire and flood have no mercy’, even though the Jade
Phosphor Serpent Poison was strong, under this downpour the green mist
immediately weakened, gradually disappearing in the rain. A faint blue light
fell from the sky, enveloping all of Jialing Pass. Tang
“People of the Spirit Empire in Jialing Pass, surrender where you stand and
your lives can be spared. Intent to resist, kill without pardon. Plan to
escape, kill without pardon.”
Nobody would doubt Tang San’s words. At this moment, none of the Spirit Empire
soldiers that still hadn’t escaped Jialing Pass could leave any more. A blue
water barrier replaced the wall on the other side, completely blocking their
way out. As for the Heaven Dou Army side, the previous toxin was too
terrifying, who dared approach it? Besides, what if they could leave Jialing
Pass on that side? The million men strong Heaven Dou Army was there!
After speaking, Tang San pointed the Seagod Trident down, and the downpour
washed the poison such that it didn’t flow towards the cowering defenders, but
rather towards the moat outside. At this time, if Tang San wanted to
annihilate the defenders without damage to the Heaven Dou army outside, it
would only be too easy. As long as he moved the rain into the troops, then
Jialing Pass really would become a land of the dead.
The Jade Phosphor Serpent Emperor poison really was terrifying. Once any
creature was poisoned, their bodies would become toxic, and even the bones
would be corroded. Under this heavy rain, not even one corpse appeared,
clearly showing how terrifying it was.
Guided by the Seagod’s power, the rain scrubbed every corner around the
Jialing fortress. The toxin feared water, this was clear and easy to see. Of
course, after being scrubbed away, the moat water where the poison gathered
was also filled with Jade Phosphor Serpent Emperor poison.
Seeing that the rain was more or less done, Tang San swung his left hand once
again, and a ray of blue light shot to the sky. The black clouds were parted
by the light and a ray of sunshine hit the earth through the crack. Moreover,
the crack expanded quickly, warm sunshine again descending on the soldiers on
both sides. And not one drop of rainwater in the moat was exposed, just
filling that vast and deep moat.
The dark green river water was gave people an intimidating feeling.
Everyone knew that this had already become a river of death.
Tang San’s actions of course wouldn’t end here. The Seagod Trident shone once
again, and instantly, the water in the moat rose towards the sky
like a giant wave, curling up and flowing towards Tang San like a silver
river.
The enormous stream revolved around Tang San, forming a giant ring. In the
entire moat, not one drop of water remained, and all of the poison was brought
into the air with the rainwater.
In the sunshine, the giant water ring revolved around Tang San, the bizarre
scene astounding the soldiers of both sides below. A miracle, yes, this was
unquestionably a miracle!
As it spun violently, threads of blue water vapour began to split off from the
stream, all pure water element, turning into fine misty rain that fell on the
earth. But the green in the water grew denser and denser, from the initial
faint jade color to something like ink. Without question, this was the Jade
Phosphor serpent Emperor poison that had taken the lives of tens of thousands.
As the water had been reduced a thousandfold, already the color of ink, Tang
San raised his right hand, lightly touching the main blade of the Seagod
Trident to it.
With a brittle ding sound, a sharp and clear sound that spread to every corner
of the battlefield, a golden spark shot out and leapt into that inky poison.
Boom—— The black ink turned into a giant ring of fire, led into the air by the
Seagod Trident, all the poison also quietly dissipating in the flame.
Nobody knew who was the first to cheer, but the Heaven Dou army also seemed
lit aflame by the spark, cheers and voices boiling with excitement echoed over
the field.
Simultaneous cheers unexpectedly also resounded from within Jialing Pass. The
soldiers inside actually included surviving Spirit Hall spirit masters that
hadn’t been able to escape, and they also cheered the poison disappearing.
They were mostly ordinary people, and not Spirit Hall zealots. They didn’t
have any strong faith. Life was most valuable to them,
and they firmly believed what Tang San said before. That was a god! Would a
god lie to them? He said he wouldn’t kill them, so what would they plot? In a
divine battle like this, weren’t they just looking to die?
After all, the impression Qian Renxue had left in the hearts of the Spirit
Empire troops was still too brief. The victor is king, the loser a bandit. The
moment she was defeated, she had already lost the position as god to these
soldiers, and the image of Tang San who could use his Seagod power to
completely remove the Jade Phosphor Serpent Poison that would have turned
Jialing Pass into a land of the dead was already deeply imprinted into their
hearts. At this moment, how could they still think of fighting?
Clang, the first weapon was thrown to the ground. , the same sound quickly
spread like the rain. The Spirit Empire soldiers began to put down the weapons
they held one after another, kneeling on the ground. Voices of surrender rose
and fell.
Tang San nodded with satisfaction, speaking towards the Heaven Dou army: “Your
Majesty, I’ll leave Jialing Pass to you while I go pursue Qian Renxue, and
completely uproot the last hope of the Spirit Empire.”
Xue Beng answered loudly: “Farewell Imperial Tutor, I will await your good
news in Jialing Pass.”
Towards Tang San he didn’t even use the royal we. Not so long ago, the title
A shooting star with a dazzling tail of flame disappeared in blue light,
gradually fading ten breaths after Tang San was gone. Xue Beng’s expression
was filled with unprecedented radiance, pointing the imperial sword forward,
“Pass on my orders, advance into Jialing Pass, the lord Seagod commanded that
those who surrender be spared, those with courage to resist, killed without
pardon.”
At Xue Beng’s orders, the already long prepared Heaven Dou army charged
victoriously into Jialing Pass. They now met yet another bloodless victory for
the Heaven Dou Empire.
Leaving the armies to their own devices, after completely expelling the Jade
Phosphor Serpent Emperor poison, Tang San immediately chased in the direction
Qian Renxue escaped as guided by his divine sense. Dealing with the poison
just now had wasted quite a bit of time, and even though Qian Renxue was
seriously wounded, with barely a tenth of her strength, this much time was
still enough for her to run a very long distance. Tang San didn’t want to give
the Spirit Empire any more chances. If Qian Renxue was allowed to recover, she
would still be a huge headache. After all, she was a god level power. If she
didn’t persist with her conviction and fought a guerilla war against the
Heaven Dou army, she would become an enormous threat. He had to use this
opportunity to completely erase this threat. This battle would decide the true
victor, and the Spirit Empire would also lose their last embers. As for Bibi
Dong who returned to Spirit City, she was no longer in Tang San’s eyes.
Tang San very soon saw the Spirit Empire soldiers escaping Jialing Pass like
stray dogs. These had all escaped Jialing Pass at the first moment, but still
hadn’t run far. In fact, the people who could escape made up less than a fifth
of the defenders at Jialing Pass, and the number of spirit masters was even
more pathetically small, at most two thousand people. The terrifying effect of
Dugu Bo’s Jade Phosphor Serpent Emperor poison had become the nightmare of all
Spirit Empire spirit masters.
However, just as Tang San caught up to the Spirit Empire’s panicked soldiers,
his expression immediately turned ugly. Because at this moment he suddenly
lost track of Qian Renxue.
Even if he’d previously let Qian Renxue temporarily escape to immediately deal
with the poison in the fort, he still wound a trace of divine sense around
her. He believed that with Qian Renxue’s present strength, whether in speed or
divine sense, it was impossible to contend against him. The final outcome of
course wouldn’t change.
But at this moment, Qian Renxue’s divine sense suddenly disappeared without
any warning, as if she’d already left this world. This was wholly unexpected
to Tang San. He disbelievingly immediately strengthened his divine sense
search, the enormous Seagod divine sense spreading out from the rhombic gem on
the Seagod headband, searching seamlessly in a
circular sector. However, while he could sense the breathing of every escaping
Spirit Empire soldier, he had unfortunately lost track of Qian Renxue. At the
same time he also lost track of the five powers escaping with her. Losing
track of Qian Renxue was still a bit reasonable, as she might have some
peculiar control ability with her divine sense, but those Title Douluo
shouldn’t be untraceable. Tang San inwardly couldn’t help feeling like he let
the tiger back into the mountain.
Of course he wouldn’t give up like this. Moving at top speed, his divine sense
spread to even larger ranges, starting to search for any traces of Qian Renxue
within a thousand li.
As for the Spirit Empire soldiers that were fleeing Jialing Pass, Tang San
naturally wouldn’t do anything to them. At his level, he couldn’t possibly
absurdly start killing these ordinary humans. To Tang San this battle was
already over. He just didn’t want Qian Renxue to cause the Heaven Dou Empire
trouble in the future. In fact, even if Qian Renxue recovered her strength,
she would still never be his match.
Tang San kept searching for two hours. This was already quite a considerable
period of time to a god. When he didn’t get any results in all this time, Tang
San knew that he might not be able to find Qian Renxue. In a stifled mood, he
again returned to the fortress at Jialing Pass. No matter what, after the
today’s victory, the Spirit Empire had already lost their basic defenses, the
remaining war would become a lot simpler. If she still wanted to give the
Spirit Empire some chance, then she would inevitably appear in the next
battle. If he could defeat her once, he could defeat her twice.
When Tang San returned to Jialing Pass, the Heaven Dou army had already
completely taken control over the Spirit Empire’s most important
fortification. Jialing Pass really was an imposing structure, more than five
hundred thousand of the million troops had entered te fort and it still didn’t
feel crowded. The Spirit Empire’s surrendered soldiers and spirit masters were
under guard for the moment, their weapons collected. As Tang San originally
promised, those who surrendered were spared, and only a small fraction who
were brave enough to resist were directly killed by the Heaven Dou army. All
of Jialing Pass had already become part of the Heaven Dou
Empire, and cheering voices rose and fell. Even the most ordinary soldier knew
that, even though they had only overcome one
When Tang San headed back, in order not to make the soldiers too excited and
enthusiastic, he quietly withdrew his Seagod Raiment before entering the pass,
replacing it with ordinary clothes. Guided by his divine sense, he directly
found the marshal’s office in Jialing Pass. Just now, the Heaven Dou army’s
commanding officers and spirit master powers were gathered here.
Entering the office, Tang San immediately felt an intense excited mood.
Shielded by the Seagod’s power, he easily hid himself. As long as he didn’t
wish for it, nobody could see him. This was the basic stealth ability of the
original Seagod’s Heart. Unless it was god level divine sense, he could seem
like he didn’t even exist in this world anytime he wanted.
The conference hall in the marshal’s office was now like a magpies nest taken
by turtledoves. Xue Beng was in charge, this Heaven Dou imperial majesty
practically hadn’t stopped smiling ever since Tang San appeared on the
battlefield. Right now marshal Ge Long wasn’t at his side, just taking charge
of the army outside, taking complete control over Jialing Pass. But the spirit
masters’ mission was already complete, as the vital contributors to the
battle, the Shrek Six Devils, Tang Hao, Tang Xiao, Grandmaster, Flender,
Poison Douluo and others were now gathered here.
“Senior Dugu, this result is thanks to you! Your poison enormously reduced the
casualties in the army, but still directly collapsed the enemy’s morale. In
terms of contribution, besides Grandmaster, you should be at the top.” Xue
Beng spoke sincerely to Dugu Bo. They all knew that Tang San’s god level power
naturally wouldn’t count as contribution. In fact, Dugu Bo’s contribution to
this battle wasn’t any less than Tang San.
Dugu Bo smiled wryly: “Your Majesty, this old man really is too embarrassed to
accept the honor, what could be unleashed couldn’t be retrieved, almost
leading to a disaster. Luckily Tang San could deal with the poison, otherwise
I might be condemned throughout history.”
Tang Hao laughed out loud: “Condemned throughout history is uncertain, but you
definitely couldn’t outrun the name of butcher. Actually it’s not that bad, at
most the Spirit Empire people would be poisoned to death. We just needed to
withdraw the army, and let you slowly collect the poison. Jialing Pass would
end up in the same hands, it would just take a bit longer.”
At Tang Hao’s words, those military officers all looked a bit pale. Back then
there were several hundred thousand Spirit Empire people in Jialing Pass! But
Grandmaster sitting next to Tang Hao nodded, hardly concealing his approval of
what Tang Hao said. In terms of grudges against the Spirit Empire, Grandmaster
and Tang Hao were definitely the deepest. Because of Spirit Hall back then,
Tang Hao couldn’t return home, and didn’t even see his father at the end, his
wife was even sacrificed herself to save him, twenty years of pain and
resentment couldn’t be erased. Even if the Spirit Empire was wiped out, Tang
Hao still wouldn’t even blink. Grandmaster was even more so, the Blue
Lightning Tyran Dragon Clan was directly wiped out, and he wished he could
annihilate the entire Spirit Empire.
Listening to Tang Hao, Dugu Bo’s expression immediately improved, laughing
hollowly: “Clear Sky Douluo, this is up to Heaven! It’s my first time doing
this, and even I never expected it to have such a terrifying effect. In the
future my poison won’t be used on the battlefield.”
Xue Beng smiled: “Senior Dugu need not be like this, no matter what formidable
power it is, if used for justice i is just, used for evil it is evil. Taking a
step back, if not for your poison, don’t tell me any fewer would have died in
storming Jialing Pass? At that time, not only would the Spirit Empire people
be dead, our soldiers would also suffer disastrous casualties, very possibly
in numbers even higher than the Spirit Empire soldiers. Therefore, you need
not feel any guild. No matter what is said, we’ve already won this battle.
Honestly, I really don’t know how to thank all you seniors. I can only say
that no matter what all seniors request in the future, the Heaven Dou Empire
will support with all its strength.”
Tang Xiao said: “Then first I’ll thank your Majesty. Back then our Clear Sky
School vanished because of Spirit Hall, and now our strength is
still meager. Using this opportunity, I hope your Majesty can allow my Clear
Sky School to reestablish itself in Heaven Dou City.”
Xue Beng was cheerful, immediately saying: “Of course. Indeed what I wished
for, but didn’t dare request. To be able to have the Clear Sky School oversee
Heaven Dou City is my fortune, and the fortune of the whole Heaven Dou
Empire.” Even disregarding Tang San, the Clear Sky School was once the world’s
number one sect, its fame even higher than the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile
School. Even though the Clear Sky School hadn’t brought many people this time,
the brothers Tang Xiao and Tang Hao revealed strength that amply proved the
reputation as the world’s number one sect wasn’t fake. How could Xue Beng not
be happy?
Blue light flashed, and a silhouette quietly appeared in the conference hall.
After the group of Title Douluo grew nervous a moment, they quickly relaxed.
Besides Tang Xiao, Tang Hao and Grandmaster, everyone else stood up.
Xue Beng reacted the fastest, he actually directly took a few steps forward
and knelt on one knee, saluting: “We greet the Imperial Tutor.”
Without a doubt, this quietly appearing blue silhouette was Tang San who had
failed to pursue Qian Renxue.
Chapter 329
A tender energy lifted Xue Beng up. Tang San smiled then said, “You don’t need
to do so. How could I receive your etiquette like that?”
Xue Beng said determinedly, “Teacher, if you can’t receive my bow, then no one
can. Xue Beng now bows to you, not for me, myself, but for one million of
soldiers of the Heaven Dou Empire. Moreover, I do it for millions of people of
the Heaven Dou Empire.”
His words were honest. Tang San could feel that what he was saying had come
from the bottom of his heart.
Xue Beng got up, looking at Tang San standing in front of him, whose
countenance was mild without a surging beam of energy. Tears lingered in his
eyes, blocked his vision with a layer of water.
“Teacher, you know. Yesterday I was thinking about recklessly fighting with
them till death. Now I can say it all. When we got the information that a God
would join the Spirit Empire’s force, I felt that we were all going to die. I
have been praying that you could come back soon. Today, when I had decided to
start the battle, I thought my prayer was hopeless. But you are back, teacher.
You are the Sea God now. At the moment when the Heaven Dou Empire needed you
the most, you appeared in front of us, using your divine powers to lead the
Heaven Dou Empire to victory, breaking the Auspicious Hill Mountain Pass. I
have dreamed about this. But I’ve never thought that it would come that soon
and direct. Teacher, I don’t know how to thank you. If you agree, I will offer
you this throne.”
“Your Majesty, you can’t.”
Tang San stretched both of his hands to raise Xue Beng up with a warm smile on
his face. He could totally use his powers to raise Xue Beng up without
touching him. However, he still used his hands. This is his respect towards
Xue Beng.
Tang San smiled and said, “The victory today was not only due to my own
efforts. Our men here have all played an important role in the fight.
Especially that old monster, his Jade Phosphor Serpent Emperor’s toxins had
startled me.”
Du Gu Bo said angrily, “Little monster, don’t you think that you can tease me
since you are now a God. I can still whip you.”
Tang San laughed cheerily, “Old monster, do you really think that I have no
back up here? My father, my uncle and my teacher are all here. If someone has
to beat me, it will not be your turn yet.”
Then, Tang San let go of Xue Beng’s hands, turned around, headed to Tang Xiao,
Tang Hao, and Grandmaster and kneeled down. No matter how strong he was, or
what title he had, there’s something that would never change. Teacher was the
one whom he respected the most. Father was the closest family member to him.
They were all his seniors.
Seeing Tang San kneeling down, Xue Beng followed him. Tang San didn’t prevent
him from doing that at this moment. And when Xue Beng kneeled down, the other
generals in the tent, of course, couldn’t just stand there, they all followed
him, bending down on their knees.
At this moment, in Tang Hao’s dazed eyes, there was only the image of Tang
San, his only son. He was famous for being stiff in the spirit masters world.
But now, tears were lingering in his eyes. Not long from now, he had thought
that he would have let his son become an ordinary person. He still remembered
that Tang San had cooked porridge for him every day. At that time, the amount
of rice in their house had been only enough for cooking porridge for every
meal. When Tang San had finished cooking, he just took the plain broth and
left him the best of his congee. Tang San was just six years old at that time.
At this moment, his son was grown up to this excellent man. He was even more
excellent than his father. Tang Hao didn’t feel happy or joyful now, but
bitter. He felt bitter for all the time that his son had to suffer. What his
son had achieved today all came from his own efforts. Everybody could see his
powers as a God now, but how many of them had witnessed what Tang San had to
pay throughout over twenty years? Tang Hao could imagine easily countless
times Tang San had to undergo deadly situation and came back from the death.
Tang Hao suddenly moved, he stepped forward, vehemently drew Tang San on his
kneeling position, then hugged him tightly into his steel-like firm chest.
Tang Hao would never say any soft words with his tough personality.
However, his embrace and his tears had spoken many things to Tang San.
Tang San hugged him back tightly. He didn’t cry, but his lips were pursed. The
emotions in his eyes weren’t less than that of Tang Hao.
Although he had been living twice, Tang Hao was his only father. A father is
always a big idol in his children’s hearts. Tang San wasn’t an exception. Even
when Tang Hao had been a drunkard, Tang San had never disrespected his father.
Having his father’s support was always something that a man desired the most.
“Dad, my life was given to me by mom and you. Even if I have to pay with all
my life, I can never pay it off. My life belongs to you. Everything I have
belongs to you, too.” Tang San understood his father’s thoughts; he consoled
him directly.
Tang Hao lifted his head up, both of his hands hugging Tang San’s shoulders.
He studied his son’s handsome visage and nodded. “You are my pride.”
Although Tang San always controlled his emotions, having listened to Tang Hao,
he couldn’t hold it anymore as tears started to stream down on
his face.
“Little San, you are also my pride. The pride of my whole life.”
Grandmaster came to Tang Hao, staring at Tang San. His stimulation was even
bigger than Tang Hao’s. He had trained a God!
Tang Hao let off him, backed off to clear Grandmaster’s way. Tang San kneeled
down again, in front of the Grandmaster. When Grandmaster was about to lift
him up, Tang Hao stopped him from behind.
“Grandmaster, you have to receive his obeisance. You have paid a bigger price
for him than I have. I didn’t fulfill my paternal roles, but you are an
excellent teacher. Without you, we wouldn’t have the Tang San that we now know
of today.”
Grandmaster was held by Tang Hao, how could he fight it off? He could only see
Tang San giving him three bows, and nine kowtows respectfully.
Tang San didn’t stand up right away. He looked up to Grandmaster, as his eyes
were dewed with tears.
“Teacher, there’s something I have wanted to tell you for so long. But I had
considered myself wasn’t qualified enough because I hadn’t reached the peak of
the spirit masters world. I always wait for the chance like today. Now I’ve
broken through level one hundred and the Sea God’s title, it’s time to say
it.” Grandmaster was surprised. Apparently, he didn’t know what Tang San
wanted to tell him.
Tang San’s eyes were reddened.
“Grandmaster, you’ve been struggling for the whole life. You don’t have any
children. You have put all of your efforts on me. Although you are not my
father, in my heart, you are as important as my father, Tang Hao. Dad, please
receive my obeisance.”
While saying, Tang San bent down again, hitting his head hard on the ground.
ly, he had kowtowed to his teacher; now he was giving his
obeisance to his father. It was like what Tang Hao had commented, Grandmaster
had put more care to Tang San than he did. Tang San, at the glorious moment of
his life, finally had a chance to speak out the words he had hidden from the
bottom of his heart for a long time.
Xiao Wu had come and bent down together with Tang San right when he kneeled
down the first time.
Grandmaster dazedly looked at Tang San. His body was trembling. Without Tang
Hao’s support, he would have fallen. His lips trembled, couldn’t utter a word
to Tang San. He emotionally rose his hands, putting on Tang San’s broad
shoulders. He was crying in silence.
His whole life, like a big picture, was flashing through his mind. From the
childhood time, when everybody had discriminated him for his mutant spirit;
and they had never considered him a member of the family.
It had formed his silent character. When he had been seeing people of his
generation growing up with the special spirit of the Blue Lightning Tyrant
Dragon Family, he couldn’t have hidden his admiration. At that moment, he had
been self-deprecating. It had made him leave his family when he hadn’t even
grown up yet.
Then, he met the first love of his life. That woman came from the Spirit Hall.
But when she had entered his life, he hadn’t known her origin. Even though
Grandmaster had a mutant spirit, he got a brilliant mind that no one could
ever have. Moreover, his knowledge about spirits was profound. Gradually, they
had fallen in love. The first love is always the most beautiful one that one
could never forget. In Grandmaster’s heart, that woman was so beautiful. She
was the goddess of his heart. Even when they had been together, he didn’t dare
to touch her, as he was afraid that he would disrespect her.
That woman wasn’t Liu Er Long, but the current Empress of the Spirit Empire,
Bibi Dong.
They had been together for two years. Those two years were the most beautiful
moments of Grandmaster’s life. He had told Bibi Dong every of
his miraculous knowledge about spirits. Every single day they had spent
together was carefree and full of joy. At that time, he had believed that Bibi
Dong was the gift that Heaven had made up for his loss. An Angel had come for
him, and him only. Because of Bibi Dong, he had released himself out of the
darkness that had been chasing his soul. He then had been able to define his
way, putting all of his heart to the study of spirits.
However, happiness doesn’t last long. Tragedies had come. One day, the Goddess
of his heart came to him and told him that the reason why she had spent her
time with him was actually because of his knowledge. Everything between them
should have ended now. One simple saying had broken Grandmaster’s heart. That
deep wound, up to now, hadn’t been healed.
Although Grandmaster could find many flaws in what Bibi Dong had told him; she
still left him at the end. He finally knew her origin. The Holy Maiden of the
Spirit Hall. Moreover, she would have been the next Supreme Pontiff. He
couldn’t believe anything that Bibi Dong had told him anymore. One night,
Grandmaster had drunk alcohol for the first time, he had been so drunk he
didn’t want to wake up again.
After that, he met Liu Er Long and Flender. It soon had been his next tragedy.
The second woman he had ever loved was his cousin. At the moment he decided to
leave Liu Er Long, he only thought about death. Yes, only death could have
saved him. Right when he decided to kill himself, his arrogance had drawn him
back. He wanted to prove to the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Family that he
wasn’t a handicapped person before he died.
Since then, Grandmaster had put all of his heart and brains to study spirits.
Only studying it could save him from recalling his life’s tragedies. Until the
day he met Tang San. Grandmaster still remembered when he had been stirred up
knowing Tang San had the full innate spirit, an indication of twin spirits. He
knew his chance had come. With this child, he could prove himself to his
family. And, he accepted Tang San as his disciple.
At the beginning, Grandmaster just wanted to prove himself to his family.
However, as time was passing by, Tang San’s position in his heart had become
more important. Even Grandmaster didn’t know why he had cared for Tang San
that much.
Until he knew that the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Family was gone and he had
become the Receptor of the Heaven Dou Empire, he didn’t need to prove anything
to anyone. However, his heart still had a void. Although he was with Liu Er
Long every day, the shadow in his heart still existed. At this moment, when
Tang San had called him Father, the last defending layer in Grandmaster’s
heart was broken. He finally found the goal of his life after thirty bloody
years. For his son, his own son. Even if he had to pay with his life, he would
never regret it.
“Good son.”
Grandmaster’s voice was trembling as he gently stroked Tang San’s head.
His tears were streaming down. His stiff face’s muscles were twitching.
Frankly speaking, Tang Hao admired him, but he wasn’t jealous. He had brought
Tang San into this life, but Grandmaster was the one who had brought him up.
One day a teacher, lifelong a father. What Tang San had called him was
satisfying.
Grandmaster’s emotions couldn’t be calmed for a long while until Liu Er long
came forward, lifting Tang San up. When Liu Er Long came to his side, her face
was full of tears. They had been together for many years, who could understand
his sorrows more than her?
Flender said with his low voice. “Xiao Gang. This is a big occasion. You
should be happy!”
Liu Er Long led Grandmaster to his seat. He still turned his head to call Tang
San with his trembling voice. “Little San, call me again please?”
“Dad—“
Tang San suddenly stepped forward, hugging Grandmaster tight, shaking
Grandmaster’s emotions.
“Good, good. Even if I have to die now, the life of Yu Xiao Gang hasn’t been
wasted. Son, I have a son. ha ha ha ha ha ha ha…”
During his laughter, Grandmaster’s countenance suddenly paled, his laughter
was choking, fading out. Grandmaster was getting weaker, falling into Tang
San’s chest. Tang San was scared, hurriedly putting his palm on Grandmaster’s
chest.
He finally had his dream fulfilled after a long life of tragedies. This had
shifted Grandmaster from sorrow to extreme happiness. The sadness he had
accumulated for many years had burst out at once. His feeble meridians
couldn’t withstand this, had been instantly broken. His vitality was like a
tide, flooding away.
“Dad!”
Tang San screamed.
Grandmaster leaned on his chest; his breath was feeble.
“Little…San…Thank…you….It’s…time…I…have…to…go.
But… I’m…not…willing…to…go…now…Kill…Bi..bi…Dong…This…is… my..…last wish…”
“No, teacher, you’re not going to die. No!”
He was so worried he had called him teacher again. Tang San’s eyes changed
immediately. They were all blue now. His gloomy emotions and meridians had
been broken; it was a fatal incident to anyone. But his son, who just kneeled
in front of him and called him father, was a god.
The Sea God’s power was like a rising tide, covering Grandmaster entirely in
just a blink of an eye. Moreover, the divine power had passed all of his
body’s functions, and strongly reserved the last beam of his vitality.
“I will definitely not let anything take your life away.”
Tang San’s voice was firm, stressing each word.
The Sea God’s divine power started to enter Grandmaster’s body. Tang San had
controlled each beam of his divine power skillfully, making them more tender.
When the Sea God’s divine power had totally fused with
Grandmaster’s body, Tang San became serious. The heart meridian was one of the
weakest parts of the body. If Tang San wanted to take Grandmaster’s life back,
he had to aid him in healing his heart meridian. Grandmaster’s heart meridian
had been weakened because of his accumulated sorrows; although his sorrows had
been gone, it had already severely damaged his heart meridian.
Crack. The Sea God Armament appeared on Tang San’s body. To get back
Grandmaster’s life, he had to put in all of his strength. He couldn’t have any
careless moments, as he wanted to use the best way to recover Grandmaster’s
meridians.
He retrieved the Sea God’s divine power, then started to pour his pure
vitality into Grandmaster’s body. At the same time, he rose his right thigh,
putting his hand on the Sea God Armament. His finger flickered, and gold blood
was oozing out. Tang San didn’t waste them. He used his power to gather them,
pouring into Grandmaster’s mouth. Then, he used the Sea God’s power to lead
that blood to Grandmaster’s heart meridian.
This was the blood of a God. Tang San’s Sea God Armament had a part formed by
the Blue Silver Emperor right thigh spirit bone; thus, his blood there also
had the spirit ability of the Blue Silver Emperor right thigh spirit bone,
Wildfire burns without end, spring wind blows new life. After his spirit bones
had been evolved, this spirit ability had also been enhanced much which make
his right thigh’s blood become the best medicine.
Blood from a God was powerful. In a normal case, if Grandmaster took his
blood, his body would explode since it couldn’t contain the tremendous energy.
However, Tang San was now using his Sea God’s power to coordinate, making sure
that no anomalies would happen. Tang San had poured the Sea God’s power into
Grandmaster’s body, opened up and fused with his body altogether. All changes
that were happening inside Grandmaster’s body were controlled by Tang San’s
divine sense.
The method Tang San had used was simple, yet effective. To not let the break
exist there for a long time, he first used his divine power to create a
temporary vein, connecting the broken heart meridian, making way for his
blood circulating. Under his urge, Grandmaster’s vitality was activated again.
With the aid of the divine power, Tang San’s formidable vitality had come
along with his blood, flooding into Grandmaster’s heart meridian. Under his
strict monitor, Grandmaster’s heart meridian had now started to regenerate.
Tang San was now using his powers to help Grandmaster improve his entire
meridian system, dispersing the god energy in his blood into his body, under
the control of the Sea God’s tender power to completely fuse it into
Grandmaster’s meridians.
This progress was hard and required careful moves. Although Tang San was a God
now, he was still very cautious.
The meeting hall had been quiet for an hour. Everybody was all concentrating.
Finally, when the blue light on Tang San’s hands had ceased, Grandmaster
started to breathe. He opened his eyes; his visage had glowed again.
A wonderful feeling had filled his body. Grandmaster could feel clearly that
his meridians had become more flexible. Even his spirit power had been
upgraded to at least five levels.
Tang San helped Grandmaster get up, but he didn’t let him say anything.
“Dad, you shouldn’t say anything now. Do not incite your emotions, either.
Take a good rest tonight. When you are fully recovered by tomorrow, we will
talk more.”
Looking at his endearing eyes, Grandmaster smiled, nodded in agreement. Liu Er
Long and Xiao Wu promptly assisted him. Tang San took him out of the hall then
returned. Grandmaster’s body had no problems now. Moreover, he had placed a
trickle of his divine sense on him, if anything happened, he would know
immediately. Now he couldn’t leave
this place just yet. Although the Auspicious Hill Mountain Pass was in ruins,
there were many things they had to settle. Especially Qian Ren Xue, who had
run away from him. She was like a thorn, piercing through his heart.
Tang Hao patted his son’s shoulder.
“It’s good now. Don’t worry too much.”
Tang San nodded quietly. Xue Beng came by, asking Tang San to sit in the chair
position. Tang San wasn’t ceremonial, sat down there. After he had become a
God, his status had been changed accordingly. Among the Heaven Dou Empire’s
forces, there was no one who had a higher position than him. Moreover, after
this war had ended, his position in the soldiers’ hearts would be absolutely
the highest. Xue Beng’s manners now weren’t wrong. Quite the contrary, if Tang
San were too humble now, it would possibly somehow harm him in the future.
Xue Beng didn’t even sit down, standing next to Tang San. However, his face
was full of arrogance. In his mind now, taking Tang San as his teacher was the
luckiest event in his life.
“I was chasing after Qian Ren Xue, but I was late, and couldn’t find her
anywhere. It’s strange that the other Title Douluos and her seemed to have
vanished into thin air. I had used the divine sense to search for them, but
got no positive results. However, I’m here now, she couldn’t rise another
tide. Your Majesty, what do you want to do next?” Tang San said.
“Teacher, we have broken through the Auspicious Hill Mountain Pass. We can say
that the entrance to the Spirit Empire is open now. Moreover, we have almost
destroyed the major spirit masters force of the Spirit Empire. It must be
pretty hard for them to protest against us. Anyway, the Spirit Empire is
profound. I think we shouldn’t rush. It’s been a long time since we have
deployed our men here. They’ve been staying in improper conditions. I would
like to base our soldiers in the Auspicious Hill Mountain Pass, rearranging
the formation. Then I would send a troop of excellent soldiers to the Star Lou
Empire, and support them from the other side. Wait until the Star Lou Empire’s
forces break through the
wall, we will then gather at some location. Then, both of us will eradicate
the Spirit Empire, leaving nothing for them to raise again.” Xue Beng said.
Hanging on Xue Beng’s words, everybody nodded. This would be the best option
that should leave nothing for the Spirit Empire. Perhaps the Star Luo Empire
didn’t have any spirit master as strong as Tang San. In case they had, when
they joined the battle together, the Spirit Empire would have no chances at
all. Also, they could take this opportunity to finish the Spirit Empire’s
forces that were entrenching at the Star Dou Empire’s battlefield. This could
weaken the general powers of the Spirit Empire. The war wouldn’t be so
strenuous later.
Tang San nodded. “We will then just follow Your Majesty’s opinions. About
sending a troop to assist Star Luo Empire, let the spirit master legion and
Tang Sect’s Army go there together with some supreme spirit masters. Too many
people would cause unnecessary troubles.”
Xue Beng’s eyes raked over the spirit masters standing in the meeting hall.
“Seniors, who are willing go to?”
Everybody almost said at the same time. “Awaiting your orders!”
Tang San smiled then said, “Hey, I think we would send only the old monster.
He would sneak into the enemy’s base and release his toxins again. Our
opponents would soon collapse themselves.”
Du Gu Bo said indignantly, “Little San, are you teasing me on purpose?
I will not do it again. Would you go with me to wipe my ass after that?”
“We will go like this. President Tang Xiao, please lead five hundred disciples
of the Clear Sky School with the spirit master legion and Tang Sect’s Army to
the other battlefield. How about that?” Xue Beng said.
Tang Xiao nodded.
“Yes.”
“Dai-dage, Zhu Qing, and Fatty should go with them. We can make it a little
bit more certain then. Your Majesty, did you know that my dage, Dai Mu Bai is
the prince of the Star Lou Empire?”
Xue Beng was astounded, looked at Dai Mu Bai then turned back to Tang San. He
felt tense now, but he understood something.
Dai Mu Bai appreciated that, glanced at Tang San then said, “Good, we will go
with senior Tang Xiao.”
“We shouldn’t delay more. Our men didn’t get hurt much today. We will depart
tomorrow. We should be hurrying; we could destroy the entire Spirit Empire
soon.” Tang Xiao said.
Early in the next morning, Tang Xiao took Dai Mu Bai, Zhu Zhu Qing, Ma Hong
Jun and a group of supreme spirit master, all Seven Treasure Glazed Tile
Clan’s disciples, except Ning Feng Zhi and the two Title Douluo Luo, the
spirit masters legion and a myriad of Tang Sect’s soldier to depart. Although
the total number was less than two myriads of soldiers, this formation was the
most talented among the force of one million soldiers of the Heaven Dou
Empire. With this support, Star Lou Empire would find it easier to settle the
battle on the other side.
In the Auspicious Hill Mountain Pass, Xue Beng let his men rest and rewarded
them. The time for this rearrangement would be ten days. According to Xue
Beng’s plan, after ten days, the Heaven Dou Empire’s great force would be
deployed again, wiping out all the adjacent cities of the Spirit Empire around
them, preparing the place for the soldiers of the two Great Empires.
However, it was just three days, something happened. “REPORT—“
Xue Beng, Tang San, Marshall Golong, and Grandmaster were discussing the plan
in the meeting hall when a messenger suddenly stormed in, kneeling down.
Xue Beng frowned, “What made you panicked?”
The messenger glanced at Tang San first. To any soldiers like them, beholding
this Master Sea God was a glory.
“Your Majesty, a force of the Spirit Empire is heading towards the Auspicious
Hill Mountain Pass.”
“What?”
Xue Beng was surprised.
“Are they seeking for death here? How many of them are there? When will they
reach the pass?”
“Your Majesty, the force is not more than ten myriads. They look like the ones
who had been running away from our attack. Their speed isn’t fast. They are
over one hundred li away from the Auspicious Hill Mountain Pass. They are
heading towards us.”
Tang San stood up then asked, “Qian Ren Xue?”
Besides Qian Ren Xue, he couldn’t think of anything that could make the Spirit
Empire’s soldiers come back to Auspicious Hill Mountain Pass.
Marshall Golong smiled, “Sea God, perhaps they come to surrender.” “No matter
what, we should go to the wall-top to take a look. If they are
a small group of soldiers, maybe they are coming to surrender. But there are
almost ten myriads of them, as many as the total number that had initially
escaped from the Auspicious Hill Mountain Pass.” Tang San said.
They promptly came to the top of the wall. The Auspicious Hill Mountain Pass
was to defend the Heaven Dou Empire, thus the wall facing the Spirit Empire
wasn’t thick. It just had the defending ability of a normal wall. When the
supreme spirit masters of the Heaven Dou Empire got atop the wall, they could
see the force of the Spirit Empire was slowly approaching them.
This group of Spirit Empire’s soldiers was disorderly, just like a mob of
scattered soldiers. They didn’t have any aura or morale. Let alone the great
force of the Heaven Dou Empire that was now based in the Auspicious Hill
Mountain Pass, even if they had only two or three myriads of soldiers, this
mob couldn’t break the wall.
Marshall Golong laughed out loud. “Seems like I got a lucky guess.
They are coming to concede.”
“Aren’t you afraid that the wind could get into your stomach and trouble you?”
When Marshall Golong was still talking, a voice as cold as one thousand year
iceberg echoed on the Auspicious Hill Mountain Pass’s wall. Hearing that
voice, other people were amazed, but Tang San’s countenanced had changed
badly. Two gold light shot out from his eyes.
There were two figures jumping up from the group of the Spirit Empire’s
soldiers. They weren’t flying directly to the Auspicious Hill Mountain Pass
but up to the sky. The sky color had been changed because of them. Half was
reddish-gold, and the other half was dark purple. This phenomenon looked
bizarre on the Auspicious Hill Mountain Pass’ sky.
That cold voice arose again, “Tang San, come out and die!”
Other people couldn’t see it clearly, but Tang San could see who those two
figures were. The one who was hovering in the air with the reddish- gold
aureole of flames, needless to clarify, was the Angelic God Qian Ren Xue. Her
Angelic God Armament had fully recovered. She was looking at him with cold
eyes. Standing next to Qian Ren Xue was a woman, whose body was covered in a
shining purple armor. Her face was of a dark green- purple, as she looked
really malevolent. Tang San had to release more divine sense to observe her
reluctantly. That was the Empress of the Spirit Empire, Bibi Dong. No, that
was the Rakshasa God Bibi Dong to be exact!
——————————————-
Hi all,
Say hello to the Rakshasa God, a true God. Besides her curves, the Hentai
Goddess is too weak, totally a blonde. Bibi Dong is a really Goddess that you
should behold, my gentlemen.
Yesterday while I was jogging, I saw a group of children in my neighborhood
playing jianzi (kicking shuttlecock). I asked to join them and had fun for
half an hour. My body feels like it was smashed into pieces today. Old Tomato
is up for a long deep sleep now. See you on Tuesday.
Enjoy your weekend my friends, Cheers,
Tomato
p/s let list up candidates for my Mr. Fine.
Chapter 330
All of a sudden, the two people soaring up from the disorderly formation of
the Spirit Empire weren’t humans. They were Gods. Covered entirely in the
Angelic God Armament was the Angelic God Qian Ren Xue. Bibi Dong was hovering
next to her in a dark purple armor. Also, Tang San could now see clearer that
the commander of the Spirit Empire was the Spirit Empire’s Holy Maiden, Hu Lie
Na. Blue flowery light appeared quietly, swirling around Tang San. Blue halo
flashed. The entire Auspicious Hill Mountain Pass had turned into a bright
blue world, fiercely pushing away the dark purple and the gold-red colors in
the sky. Tang San jumped up then appeared in mid-air.
How could it be? Tang San’s mind was blank. Everything had been in his
control, but he had never thought this could happen.
It’s true that the force of one hundred thousand remaining armed soldiers of
the Spirit Empire was insignificant. However, the Rakshasa God Bibi Dong and
the Angelic God Qian Ren Xue here could subvert the whole formation of the
Heaven Dou Empire.
Bibi Dong’s appearance had been changed dramatically. She used to be an
exquisite lady with a noble posture. Even though they were enemies, Tang San
had to admit that from her aura, she was the most aristocratic woman in this
world. But at this moment, what she was exposing, was only the extremely
sinister aura. It wasn’t exaggerating when describing her as having a
“fiendish appearance”. Her pale purple face matched perfectly with her dark
purple armor. Dark purple mist came out from everywhere on her armor, bringing
out the extreme devilish aura. On her back, there were four long sickles,
arranged in two lines.
Needless to say, the current Bibi Dong wasn’t the previous one. Her aura was
full of ferocious features, but the surging power was absolutely a true god
power. Tang San found out that it was her powers that had prevented his divine
sense and covered both Qian Ren Xue’s and her aura.
Looking at Bibi Dong, Tang San lowered his voice, “You were back three days
ago, right?”
Bibi Dong smiled coldly.
“Boy, you didn’t expect that, right? It’s not only you and her that could
become gods. I’ve had the Rakshasa God’s powers. Your inheritance process is
too simple compared to mine. To take the Rakshasa God’s inheritance, I have
spent twenty years. You have never wondered why Qian Dao Liu, who had the
highest power at the Spirit Hall, had never dared to touch me? It’s because he
could feel the god’s aura on me. If I hadn’t been taking the inheritance that
made my spirit power weaker, you would have had no chance to beat me. Did you
forget that I also have the twin spirits? Now, I’ve completed the inheritance.
At the beginning of the inheritance, I had had the powers of a peak Douluo and
the twin spirits combined. What differences does it make if you could break
through the legions of my spirit masters? I’m back now. Doulou Continent is my
stage from now on.”
Tang San eyed Bibi Dong coldly.
“Well, speaking that way, aren’t you afraid that the wind could come into your
stomach and make you sick?”
Bibi Dong laughed. Her laugh was sharp, echoing in people’s ears, giving them
an irritating feeling. It also made Tang San’s Sea God Domain seething.
“Tang San, how can you still be arrogant at this time? Yeah, you’re strong.
Even among the younger generations, I admit that you are absolutely brilliant.
Even my daughter, who has the Angelic God powers, couldn’t be your match. But
now, you are not facing only her. Even if we go one-on-one, you still can’t
defeat me, let alone facing both Gods at the
same time. What chance do you have now? Today is your death anniversary!
You’re right. I was here three days ago. But I missed that great fight,
letting you take the upper hand. I’ve been subtle for three days to cure
Little Xue’s wounds.”
Tang San suddenly smiled, “Bibi Dong, is this your confidence? If you think
that you can defeat me, why did you have to wait for three days? Seems your
divine sense is not good enough.”
Qian Ren Xue had kept silent for the whole time, now she finally uttered with
a cold voice, looking at Tang San.
“No need to babble. Bibi Dong, remember this, up to now, I haven’t admitted
that I’m your daughter. Kill Tang San first, we should solve our matters
later!”
Bibi Dong glared at Qian Ren Xue as her eyes had turned into an emerald color.
Inside that emerald layer, her black pupils were eccentrically prominent. A
giant dark purple sickle appeared in her hand. At the same time, Qian Ren Xue
was holding her Angelic Sacred Sword. They then detached.
To Tang San, all had happened fast. When he hadn’t succeeded in chasing after
Qian Ren Xue, he didn’t feel quite right, but he had no time to care that
much. He had planted a seed of failure in Qian Ren Xue’s heart anyway. She
would have no chance to threaten him. Moreover, she was not a match for him
with her general strength.
Nonetheless, Bibi Dong’s appearance had destroyed everything. Being regretful
now couldn’t do anything. Although he knew that, he couldn’t help but let a
gleam of regret sparked in his eyes. Since he had defeated Bibi Dong, Tang San
hadn’t given more concerns to her. Especially after Qian Ren Xue had become
God, he had considered her his only opponent. Until when he had become the Sea
God, he didn’t see Bibi Dong, the one who he could defeat even before he had
become a God, as a deadly threat. He had underestimated his opponents. Both
Bibi Dong and he had the twin spirits, and they had all reached the peak
Douluo level ninety-nine. How could she not think about being God?
If that day, he had killed Qian Ren Xue then come back to rescue the
Auspicious Hill Mountain Pass, he wouldn’t have been in this passive
condition. If his opponent were only Bibi Dong, he could at least risk his
life. No one knew the result. However, his enemies now were two Gods. One God
versus two gods, this wasn’t as simple as one spirit master having to face
other two spirit masters of the same level.
The corner of his mouth slightly rose, beaming a gleam of irony. Three days
ago, when he had been facing Qian Ren Xue, he had been able to prevent her
from dragging him to hell altogether. However, the wind had changed now. He
was now the one who would recklessly risk his life with his opponents.
A deadly silence covered all of the Auspicious Hill Mountain Pass. The
soldiers there didn’t feel much fear because Tang San in their hearts was an
invincible figure. Quite the contrary, the supreme spirit masters all knew
that the current situation was absolutely not fine. From the Angelic God’s
energy from Qian Ren Xue, they could figure out that Bibi Dong was also a God
now. It would be all right if Tang San had to face only Qian Ren Xue. But now
there were two Qian Ren Xue, facing both of them, would he have a chance to
win?
When worry had enveloped the whole Auspicious Hill Mountain Pass, the fight in
the air had begun.
Tang San, who was going to do a one-on-two took action first.
Blue light suddenly ceased. Tang San’s body promptly plunged higher. Eight
wings on his back opened at once, flapping with all their strength, making his
body shooting up like a blue meteor. He was dashing toward Qian Ren Xue on the
left. He had retrieved the Sea God Domain instantly, scaled it around his
body. At that short blink of an eye, his body was covered entirely with the
blue light; it was hard to see through.
Qian Ren Xue was startled. Even though she was with Bibi Dong now, facing Tang
San, the oppressing feeling in her heart hadn’t ceased. Every time she fought
with him, she had always fallen into a disadvantaged position. This routine
set her mind and divine sense into restraint every time
she faced Tang San. She could never understand why. Seeing Tang San was
dashing towards her, the Angelic Sacred Sword in her hand was put in a
vertical position. Blazing sunlight bloomed from her sword as her body had
turned into a gold light sphere, ready to receive Tang San’s attack.
Tang San attacked Qian Ren Xue on purpose. He had fought with her several
times, and it helped him understand her abilities. He could take the upper
hand easier. Compared to attacking Bibi Dong, facing Qian Ren Xue was a more
certain option. One on two. If he didn’t start it first to take the upper
hand, this god battle would leave him with no chances to survive. Confronting
the two gods, mother, and daughter, who were full of divine energy now, he
didn’t feel confident at all.
Bibi Dong didn’t expect that Tang San would attack them right away. However,
her countenance didn’t change, silently swung her sickle. An eccentric
phenomenon happened. The purple light she had radiated gathered with her
massive sickle, creating a tremendous purple sickle, which was more than one
hundred meters long, slashing Tang San from his behind. Attack to defend, it’s
the best option of “Besiege Wei to rescue Zhao”[1].
But Tang San had come in front of Qian Ren Xue before her slash could catch
him. Seeing the familiar Solar Pure Flame, the divine light in his eyes burst
out. However, when he was roughly thirty meters away from Qian Ren Xue, he was
forced to stop violently. He had been using all his Sea God’s powers to storm
over her; now he had to stop, it was like he had used his force to strike
against himself. His complexion slightly changed. Apparently, he got hit.
Nevertheless, his moves didn’t delay, flowing smoothly like a stream and
finished his plan.
The Sea God Armament on his body blasted out loudly. Dazzling light
immediately ceased. His body, the armor, and the Sea God Trident had fused,
making a colossal Sea God Trident in just a blink of an eye. Blue light
furiously burst out, timely received Bibi Dong’s attack.
Bibi Dong had never seen this strike of Tang San’s before. Qian Ren Xue was
experienced, but she was focusing on defending. At this moment when Tang San
had paused then changed his target, they didn’t have any time for other
reflexes.
Three of them were God. It could use the image of the electric strike to
describe their attack’s speed. In the battle between gods, sense was the most
important feature. When their senses went wrong, they had to pay big.
The Sea God Trident had also turned into a pure gold color. The familiar gold
light burst out, confronting the earth-splitting sickle. Right after that, the
Golden Trident spun one round, luring the massive purple sickle and all of its
attack power to leap to Qian Ren Xue. Qian Ren Xue was hovering around twenty
meters away from Tang San; when the Trident swirled one round, the purple
sickle had come to Qian Ren Xue.
BANG ——
Even Tang San had to be astounded seeing the result. Qian Ren Xue, who was
covered in a thick red-gold sphere, got struck out of her protection by that
giant purple sickle. She screeched in mid-air; apparently, she had gotten
hurt.
Was Bibi Dong that strong? Even though he had used the Big Dipper to take
advantage, Tang San had to acclaim silently. Qian Ren Xue’s reflexes weren’t
that fast, and she was hesitating as he suddenly changed his attack’s
direction disordering her rhythm, but still, she was a God. Bibi Dong’s strike
could send her away, which meant it had carried out a massive amount of
energy. Moreover, even though Tang San could use his powers to change the
attack’s direction, he also felt an ice-cold divine sense darting towards him.
He had to use a big amount of his divine sense to keep that devilish aura from
getting into his body.
“Good. Cunning boy.”
The purple figure flashed. Bibi Dong rose her hand. Just with a simple move,
the giant sickle had slid in front of Tang San, making a bizarre curve in
front of the Golden Trident.
Gold halo flashed as a gold figure stepped out from the Golden Trident. It was
Tang San. However, his Sea God Armament was now gold instead of the original
blue color. The Golden Trident in his hand drew a massive
circle in the air. A perfect disc appeared. The Unfixed Storm was facing Bibi
Dong’s attack.
Clinking sounds and explosions echoed in the air. Tang San felt the Golden
Trident in his hands was shaking; his speed was reduced. The purple sickle in
Bibi Dong’s hand wasn’t much stronger than him. But the sinister aura hiding
inside had taken a chance when the two divine weapons had impacted to
penetrate his divine sense, irritating him. Obviously, the Sea God’s powers
with the power of Light couldn’t hold the unique sinister aura of that
Rakshasa God Bibi Dong. Qian Ren Xue understood this well. Several days ago,
she couldn’t dissolve Rakshasa God’s ferocious aura with her pure, holy powers
of the Angelic God, let alone Tang San, who had only a tiny bit of the Light
power.
BANG—
Tang San and Bibi Dong quickly split in the air. A dark purple air current was
tangling around Tang San’s body. At the same time, there was a blue energy
vortex on Bibi Dong’s body. Their divine senses had intruded their opponent’s
body at once. Apparently, no one could take the upper hand.
However, Tang San’s situation was worse. He had used the Big Dipper, taking
external force to attack Qian Ren Xue as he could use that moment to balance
himself and maintain his flying ability. After he had struck out the last
strike of the Golden Thirteen Halberds, he had to face Bibi Dong’s attack
immediately, of course, he had been well prepared. Lucky him, Tang San had
used the true powers of the Sea God to maintain himself.
Only when he performed the Golden Thirteen Halberds, which made his Sea God
Armament gold that was the time his Sea God’s powers and his divine sense had
fused altogether. It was like when Qian Ren Xue had totally fused with her
Solar Pure Flame. Thus, it could be seen how careful Tang San was when he had
fought with Qian Ren Xue as he had always been prepared. However, the current
situation didn’t give him time to prepare.
Tang San understood that now he couldn’t stop if he didn’t want to be smashed
by this mother and daughter God duo.
Thus, when Tang San and Bibi Dong detached, his eight wings started to
flutter. His body then swayed in the air, using the abundant energy from Bibi
Dong’s attack to speed up and fly away.
At this moment, Qian Ren Xue had just stabilized herself; her face paled again
as purple nimbus constantly flared on her exquisite Angelic God Armament. Bibi
Dong had a deep-to-bone resentment toward Tang San. Moreover, her first attack
had been accumulated carefully before striking out. Even Qian Ren Xue was a
God, she couldn’t reduce its attack power much. Being hurt was unavoidable.
Anyway, her Angelic Domain had a pure power of Light, which could strongly
resist the sinister aura of the Rakshasa God. Even so, from her grimaced
countenance, apparently, she had gotten hurt.
After three days, Qian Ren Xue’s Angelic God Armament had been recovered.
However, at the fight that day, she had spent too much energy in an attempt to
kill both Tang San and her, which had cost her vitality. It couldn’t be fully
restored in just a short period. Moreover, Tang San suddenly changed his
attack, using the Big Dipper surprisingly; this had left her with some minor
damages.
Qian Ren Xue didn’t have time to adjust herself, that gold figure had plunged
into her vision. Qian Ren Xue sighed inside. Tang San, do you really want to
eradicate me? Gold light sparked in her eyes, under such circumstances, Qian
Ren Xue made a decision that Tang San had never expected.
She bit her tongue, then spat blood on the Angelic Sacred Sword as her aura
suddenly leaped. A loud explosion echoed. In this flash, the Angelic Armament
on her body exploded, turning into a circle of flame in the air. She was using
the massive Solar Pure Flame energy from the explosion of her Angelic Armament
to form a colossal Angel shadow. The sudden tremendous energy that burst out
all of a sudden had turned the whole space into darkness. This was the Solar
Angel that she had used to risk her life with Tang San three days ago.
But there was something different. Qian Ren Xue now didn’t use the Solar Angel
to attack Tang San directly. She was controlling the massive
Solar Angel’s energy, condensing it in front of her, using that invincible
Solar Pure Flame to block Tang San’s way.
When cornered, a dog could jump over the wall, let alone a God. Tang San
wouldn’t absolutely have thought about this. Currently, that mother and
daughter duo were now taking the upper hand, why did she have to waste her
original god power to do so? She had been the weakest god in this battle, but
now she was the strongest. The scorching heat of her energy that was releasing
was formidable. It turned the whole place into the Solar Angel state. This was
really a deadly threat.
If Qian Ren Xue were a little bit late, she could create that effect since
Tang San would have time to react. However, when Qian Ren Xue released the
Solar Angel, the distance between him and her was roughly twenty meters. It
was different now. The energy of the Solar Angel was really intimidating. Qian
Ren Xue had burst out her divine powers in just a flash, wholly focused on
Tang San. She was using the Solar Angel to strike out her extreme divine
sense. Red-gold aureole burst out furiously. Six wings of the giant Solar
Angel retracted instantly.
This bursting was different from that of three days ago. Three days ago, Qian
Ren Xue made this strike when she had been fighting for a while and draining
her powers. Today, at the beginning of the fight, she had used the strongest
attack. Thus, she could spare a small bit of power to control herself while
hovering in the air now.
Seeing Qian Ren Xue’s reaction, Bibi Dong stammered in fear. But this was a
good chance; she shouldn’t let it go. Blinding purple light burst out. Besides
the massive sickle in her hands, the other eight sickles on her back suddenly
flew up, merging into one massive Rakshasa Scythe, covered with floating
demonic dark scripture. It flew out of her hand, dashing directly to slash
Tang San from behind.
The life-threatening strike came after him from behind, also the intimidating
pressure he was facing. These had all made him understand one thing: in god
battles, it would be very hard to control the entire place. Since they had
reached this level, many difficulties also arose from time to time. As he
thought he had controlled the situation, Qian Ren Xue’s crazy
attack had himself failed just in a blink of an eye. It also put him into the
clamp. He was facing two Gods at the same time, even though they could just
react instinctively, they could still cooperate well using their divine
senses.
BANG—
It wasn’t only Qian Ren Xue who knew how to risk her life with the opponent.
Facing the disadvantage setup, Tang San finally burst out.
The fading shadow of the Golden Trident was transforming in the air. Strike
was performed after strike, smoothly and exquisitely. Just in a blink, he had
created numerous spear shadows. The Golden Thirteen Halberds, thirteen strikes
combined into one. The Sea God’s power around Tang San, with the sudden
explosion of his ten god-ranked spirit rings, was erupting as a furious
volcano.
Also in this fraction of time, the Solar Angel was strongly forced to stop
roughly ten meters away from him. Even with the Solar Angel’s tremendous
power, at the moment he had exploded his rings, the Solar Pure Flame couldn’t
come any closer.
The icy-cold voice reverberated in the air, which was full of extreme
mourning. “Sea –God –Afterglow –“
Tang San’s body and his Sea God Armament, at this moment, had turned into an
eccentric topaz color. A colossal gold light pillar erupted from his body,
aiming for the Solar Angel in front of him.
Water and fire are nemeses. When the pure Sea God’s power and Qian Ren Xue’s
Solar Angel impacted, a tremendous shock that nothing could compare appeared
in the sky.
An enormous white halo was expanding rapidly from the core of the collision.
The whole space within five hundred meters from there was covered with
blinding white light. Although it happened in the air, the spirit masters
whose levels were lower than Title Douluo all fell down, crouching on the
ground, didn’t dare to move.
The Solar Angel had vanished, but one-third of the massive gold light pillar
still remained. That strike had proved the difference between Qian Ren Xue and
him. However, the Sea God Afterglow couldn’t hit Qian Ren Xue.
Just in a blink, when the two intimidating divine powers collided, the
Rakshasa Scythe also reached Tang San. Facing it was Tang San’s eight wings.
His eight wings retracted, attempting to clamp the Rakshasa Scythe. However,
the Rakshasa Bibi Dong’s full force attack and her divine weapon weren’t
something that was easy to defend.
When the shockwave expanded, Tang San’s eight wings were smashed. The extra
force from the impact between Angelic God’s power and Sea God’s power, plus
the Sea God’s Eight Wing couldn’t dissolve the Rakshasa’s attack completely.
Anyway, Tang San’s attack power had poured all on Qian Ren Xue who was
floating in front of him. What he could do was to try his best to sway half a
meter aside to save his heart. The dark purple light had pierced into his
back, getting through the armament to his chest. Tang San couldn’t balance
himself anymore, leaning forwards. That made the Sea God Afterglow deviated.
Just one-third of the full force hit Qian Ren Xue, blowing her left arm away.
The remaining force pushed her backwards, spinning violently, then fell.
“Damn it!” Bibi Dong got indignant, roaring loudly. A dark purple silky thread
ejected from her body, coiling around Qian Ren Xue, pulling her up. She was a
demonic god, but now she was filled with fear. Qian Ren Xue was nearly savaged
by Tang San’s Sea God Afterglow. No matter how thin the relationship between
Bibi Dong and Qian Ren Xue was, they had a blood bond. Qian Ren Xue was her
daughter.
When Bibi Dong pulled Qian Ren Xue to her side, the Angelic God had gone into
a coma. However, Bibi Dong’s god power couldn’t heal her. She could only let
her recover by herself.
A dark purple light sphere came out from Bibi Dong’s right hand, aiming for
the Rakshasa Scythe piercing in Tang San’s body. It made a snatching gesture.
At this moment, her resentment towards Tang San had peaked, as
she had ordered the Rakshasa Scythe to explode, attempting to destroy the one
who had almost killed her daughter.
Puff –
Both of Tang San’s hands grabbed the Rakshasa Scythe that had pierced through
his chest. His divine sense and the remaining god power, at this moment, all
accumulated on his hands, fiercely oppressed the demonic light, not to let it
approach the Rakshasa Scythe.
Tang San felt a cold aura vaguely came out from his soul. Needless to say,
under such deadly circumstances, defeating Qian Ren Xue, depriving her
fighting ability and almost killing her, those were all what he could do with
his best. However, he was facing two Gods at the same time! Moreover, Bibi
Dong was much stronger than Qian Ren Xue. Her full force bursting had him
struggling.
Is this the time that my life comes to an end? The cold feeling was getting
stronger as if it wanted to devour his soul.
Tang San held the Rakshasa Scythe tightly, gradually took it out from his
chest. The sound of the Rakshasa Scythe rubbing on the Sea God Armament made
people on both sides, who were watching the fight, shiver.
“Little San—“
Tang Hao’s anger had come to his heart. He furiously flew up from the
Auspicious Hill Mountain Pass. While he was plunging, the Clear Sky Hammer had
been sent out, also performing the Great Sumeru Technique. Nine spirit rings
exploded at the same time, pouring all power into his Clear Sky Hammer, aiming
for Bibi Dong.
Grandmaster almost jumped up at the same time with Tang Hao; he screamed
hoarsely. However, he didn’t have the ability to help Tang San. His hands
clutched onto the wall until his fingers tip had been broken and bleeding.
BANG—
A massive figure soared up from the Auspicious Hill Mountain Pass. It was a
giant Bone Dragon. This was the ninth spirit ability of the Bone Douluo Gu
Rong, Ossifying Godly Dragon. Sword Douluo Chen Xin was standing on his back.
Seven-color light also projected from the Auspicious Hill Mountain Pass. Ning
Feng Zhi’s boost was all placed on their bodies. They had only one purpose
now, which was to take Tang San back from Bibi Dong’s hands.
Bibi Dong coldly snorted. Her right hand was still controlling the Rakshasa
Scythe, while the dark purple threat had put Qian Ren Xue down to the ground,
on Hu Lie Na’s embrace. Her left hand waved in the air, releasing a dark
purple beam from underneath her, facing the full force strike of the Clear Sky
Hammer’s Exploding Ring.
BANG—
Countless rays sparked in the air. Bibi Dong’s complexion slightly changed.
She didn’t expect that Tang Hao’s attack could be that furious. With his full
force attack, he was reaching the god-ranked level.
As she had countered Tang Hao’s attack, Bibi Dong’s divine sense, which was
controlling Tang San, suddenly surged. Tang San took this chance to haul out
the Rakshasa Scythe from his chest. A stream of gold blood scattered in the
air.
“Hm.”
Bibi Dong harrumphed coldly. The Rakshasa Scythe in his hand suddenly blew up,
turning into nine giant scythes and exploded in front of him. Both of his
hands which were clutching onto the scythe were smashed. The Sea God Armament
on his arms had also cracked into pieces, scattering everywhere. After he had
launched the Sea God Afterglow, his spirit power was feeble, wasn’t enough to
defend Bibi Dong’s attack. He groaned then fell down. Fortunately, he had used
his divine sense to put the Sea God Trident horizontally in mid-air to
reluctantly stop the nine scythes from chasing after him.
The giant sword slashed across the sky. Sword Douluo Chen Xin and his sword
were fused into one body, plunging from the Ossifying Godly Dragon to Bibi
Dong. At this moment, the eyes of this Sword Douluo were filled with the
extreme determination of risking his life. Under such intensive circumstances,
his strike had become the strongest strike he had ever made during his whole
life.
The giant body of the Bone Douluo also hit Bibi Dong directly. The bones of
his entire body were glowing with dazzling light.
At this moment, two elders of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan had put all
their spirit powers, their vitality into this bursting strike. They understood
that if Tang San died in Bibi Dong’s hands now, even if the Spirit Empire
didn’t have any other supreme spirit masters, it would still be a disaster for
the Heaven Dou Empire.
The sinister visage of Bibi Dong was full of disgust. Light flashed, and she
had disappeared, leaving her nine demonic scythes right where she had just
stood.
“Bibi Dong, you dare!”
Tang San roared in indignation. Divine light burst out from his eyes as he
reluctantly balanced himself in the air. Facing Bibi Dong who had just
appeared abruptly in front of him, he didn’t feel fear. In just a blink of an
eye, an immense divine power erupted out from Tang San’s body. Two gold rays
shot out from his eyes like electric lightning, directly hitting Bibi Dong.
A strange feeling arose in Bibi Dong’s heart. She understood that these two
rays were the very last drops of Tang San’s divine energy. This was the strike
that he had bet everything he had. However, no matter how much she was
wiggling, she still couldn’t dodge them. It seemed that she was being
restrained by the lights from his eyes. Her soul was as if it was screaming to
get out of her body.
“Not good.”
Bibi Dong screamed. She had never thought that under this situation, Tang San
could have gathered another strike at such tremendous power.
However, no matter what happened, Tang San couldn’t control the situation on
the other side. Nine Rakshasa Scythes were facing the attacks from Sword
Douluo Chen Xin and Bone Douluo Gu Rong.
They had collided almost at the same time. Numerous white bones scattered in
the air. The Seven Kill Sword, his spirit, which had been with him for his
whole life had broken. The two Tile Douluos, who had been famous on the
Continent, had spent their last moment drastically in the air. This was the
difference between humans and gods.
Xiao Wu, Ning Rong Rong, and Oscar finally got atop the wall. They were all
pale. They had received the message late. When they came, they could only see
the last impact between Bibi Dong and Tang San.
