Chapter 321

Xiao Wu's Choice, Devil Sword In Flesh

(TL by Bagelson)

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 rising in a corner, floating in Xiao Wu and Tang San's direction.

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.

Report chapter

Chapter 322

Jialing Pass, Dual God Descent

(TL by Bagelson)

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 depose Bibi Dong's title. You are the rightful Empress, and now that you have become god, then even if Bibi Dong has some fanatic supporters in Spirit Hall, it's not enough to threaten you."

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 wasn't something that Title Douluo can compare to, especially the enormous mental pressure. Even his highness king Lan Hao who is widely known for his mental strength doesn't reach that degree. And king Lan Hao's mental strength shouldn't be any lower than that of a rank ninety nine Title Douluo. Therefore, we can foresee only one possibility, a rank one hundred power has arrived at Jialing Pass."

"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 to be the time to let you know, that our grand king Lan Hao, left camp in order to increase his strength one step further, to aid my Heaven Dou army in vanquishing the Spirit Empire. Therefore, he chose the road to becoming a god, to accept the inheritance of divinity. Teacher has now completed the last breakthrough, and is just on his way back. Tell me, for the last two days, can you persevere, can you hold out until our king Lan Hao returns, to level Jialing Pass?"

"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 standing, shouting,

"Servants, serve wine, let me and all the seniors get thoroughly drunk before the battle."

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. Next 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

Dual Exceptional Gods, Battle Ten Kilometers Above

(TL by Bagelson)

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 battlefield, when he really appeared in front of her, she still couldn't calm down.

"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 morale of the Heaven Dou army grew even stronger, constantly shouting the name of the Seagod and king Lan Hao.

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 full power attack.

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 out, floating in front of her. Her hands moved like lightning, poking three different points on her body. Six golden specks of light exploded with intense golden light in the air, and at the same time, each of the six parts of Qian Renxue's Angelic Raiment produced a speck of golden light that fused together, one golden six pointed star converging behind the Sacred Angelic Sword.

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.

Report chapter

Chapter 324 Super Edition Fusion Ability, Hell White Tiger

(TL by Bagelson)

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 ten powers formed a line, accelerating simultaneously, taking the lead to charge towards Jialing Pass.

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 Divine Light Barrier of her eighth spirit ability. With this defense, unless god level powers like Tang San or Qian Renxue appeared, nobody could think of breaking it. As a support type spirit master, having such a powerful defensive ability would definitely let her show her full strength on the battlefield.

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 she had produced before had now turned into nine, clearly the effect of the Erect Gold Fly. At the same time, after these nine figures were buffed by Ning Rongrong, each one turned from pink to scarlet. With the buff, the strength of each was now no less than Xiao Wu's normal state. They were only one beat slower than Dai Mubai as they screened Xiao Wu to head to the top of the walls.

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 stopping the Heaven Dou Empire powers from scaling the walls, reducing the pressure on Ma Hongjun and the others considerably.

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 rather aim this Erect Gold Fly boosted attack on him alone.

Six Devils Show Of Force, Soldiers At The Walls

(TL by Bagelson)

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, Dai Mubai only had time for one attack, without even the time to check on Golden Crocodile Douluo's condition, before he sharply spun, facing the attacks of the other Spirit Empire powers. In order to attack Golden Crocodile Douluo twice, the Hell White Tiger would have to take at least ten attacks, and at least half of those were Title Douluo attacks.

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 appearing in her grasp. The next moment, dazzling light in incredibly dazzling colors appeared out of nowhere above Jialing Pass. Whether the defending Spirit Empire troops inside or the assaulting Heaven Dou army outside, all saw a strange scene. A fan-shaped light appeared on top of Jialing Pass, as beautiful as a peacock's tail.

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 filled with soil. One sandbag weighed thirty jin, two were sixty jin.

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. When each person held two such tower shields, they were like a mobile rampart. The Defense Hall disciples were tall themselves, and with these things included, one hundred fifty people, three hundred tower shields, formed the most solid defensive line possible. In fact, each of these astoundingly heavy shields would need at least ten of the most elite heavy infantry to move.

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.

Nine Treasure Invincible Divine Light

(TL by Bagelson)

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, and nobody wanted to bear the brunt of the attack. One after another they retreated from the top of the walls. Who could then stop the assault of the Tang Sect disciples?

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 heart, and he roared without hesitation: "Careful!"

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 had suffered the most, and were naturally also the most exhausted. Ning Rongrong's ability was only to buff, she couldn't help them recover their spirit power. However, if Ning Rongrong couldn't help them recover, that didn't meant they couldn't recover at all.

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 Great Sumeru Hammer for decades, while Tang San had only learned it recently, but still relied on it to block the god level Qian Renxue. Tang Hao fully employed this secret skill, and even against four powers, he still wasn't inferior in any respect. Especially when the fourth and fifth priest had suffered considerable injuries.

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

Faint Green Fills The Walls

(TL by Bagelson)

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 long as they defended stably, even if the Heaven Dou Empire held the advantage in the battle between powers, they could still use the quantity of spirit masters to fortify Jialing Pass for a very long time yet. Now, under his orders, the archers inside the walls were already climbing to the top of the walls under cover of shield soldiers, taking positions and starting to rain down arrows below the walls. The ballistae were also manned, starting to shoot. The heavy infantry's tower shields were completely unable to block the potent defensive weapons.

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 domain could suppress Dugu Bo to death.

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 crazed expression, Tang San was still calm, wielding the Seagod Trident to produce blue rings of light, constantly blocking Qian Renxue's waves of attacks.

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 tip exploding with power the instant it touched the Seagod Trident, her whole body spinning in a circle, her left shoulder smashing into Tang San's chest. At the same time, Tang San's Seagod Trident was also deflected slightly, unable to hit her body.

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

Sun Angel

(TL by Bagelson)

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 Title Douluo level powers had been killed earlier, only six remaining. The priests quickly gathered, and dashed into Jialing Pass with Qian Renxue. Voices of retreat also swiftly spread through all of Jialing Pass.

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 San's voice, flat but filled with incomparably dignity echoed.

"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. Next, 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 'imperial tutor' was something he spoke with difficulty, more in order to recruit Tang San. But at this moment, he used it while feeling only infinite honor. A god as a tutor, even if he was emperor, was still the highest honor to Xue Beng!

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 Spirit Empire fortification, this meant the war was nearly over.

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

Rakshasa God Appears

(TL by Bagelson)

Gentle energy lifted Xue Beng, and Tang San smiled:

"Your Majesty need not be like this, how could I accept such a grand gesture?"

Xue Beng persisted:

"Teacher, if you can't, then nobody can. Xue Beng's salute wasn't only for myself, but also for our million troops and the innumerable people of the Heaven Dou Empire."

His words were deeply sincere, and Tang San heard that Xue Beng spoke from deep in his heart.

Xue Beng stood, looking at the gentle and completely free of energy fluctuations Tang San in front of him, so excited his eyes grew dim from tears,

"Teacher, do you know? Just yesterday I was determined to die in battle. Now I can finally say it. When I learned a god had appeared on the Spirit Empire's side, in my heart I had already understood death. I was praying, praying for your return, but when the battle came today I knew prayers are a luxury. But, you really came back. As the Seagod, you appeared in front of the soldiers when the Heaven Dou Empire needed it the most, and used your unequalled divine power to lead the Heaven Dou Empire to victory, breaking Jialing Pass. I once longed for a scene like this, but I never thought it would come so soon, so direct. Teacher, I really don't know how to thank you. If you wish, I'm ready to give you the throne."

"Your Majesty cannot."

Tang San reached out and supported Xue Beng with both hands, his face showing a warm smile. He could have stopped Xue Beng from bowing using his power, but he reached out with his hands to show his respect for Xue Beng.

Tang San smiled:

"That the battle today could end in victory wasn't by my strength alone, everyone here had an extremely important effect. Especially the old freak's Jade Phosphor Serpent Emperor poison startled even me."

Dugu Bo said unhappily:

"Little freak, don't think you can tease an old man just because you're a god, I'll beat you up all the same."

Tang San laughed out loud:

"Old freak, what would it matter even if I didn't have a trace of strength right now? My father and uncle as well as Grandmaster are all here, even someone could beat me up it wouldn't be you!"

While speaking, Tang San let go of Xue Beng, turning towards Tang Xiao, Tang Hao and Grandmaster to kneel on the ground. No matter how strong he was, god or not, some things would never change. Grandmaster who he respected the most and his father's kin would always be his elders.

Seeing Tang San kneel, Xue Beng also followed him. This time Tang San didn't stop him. And when Xue Beng knelt, those generals naturally couldn't stay standing, kneeling with a crashing sound.

Tang Hao now only saw Tang San, saw his long haired and jade faced son, and the expression in his eyes grew a bit sentimental. The most famous iron man of the spirit master world actually had his eyes fill with tears now. Not so long ago he only wanted to let his son live like an ordinary person, and he now still deeply remembered Tang San boiling congee for him every day as a child. Back then there was only a bit of rice at home, and when Tang San made congee every day he only drank the skim water on top, leaving more of the nutritious rice for him. Back then he wasn't even six years old!

Now his son had already grown up, and far more outstanding than he ever was. At this moment, Tang Hao didn't feel happiness, but rather that he fell short, that he had failed his son these decades. Everything his son could have today was practically all though his own effort. Other people saw his current god level strength, but how many people saw everything Tang San had paid over more than twenty years to reach here? Tang Hao could completely imagine how behind everything he had today, how many times Tang San had barely survived, how many times he had lingered on the edge of death.

Suddenly rising, Tang Hao took one step forward, sharply hauling Tang San from the ground, and forcefully pulling him into a steel embrace.

With Tang Hao's nature he would never be able to say any melancholic apologies out loud, but his embrace and the unshed tears in his eyes already told Tang San far more.

Tang San equally held on to his father. He didn't cry, but his lips were closed tightly, his eyes no less excited than Tang Hao.

Even though he had lived in two worlds, Tang Hao was still his only father, and a father's figure would always stand tall in the heart of a son. When every child was small, their father would be the first hero in their heart. Tang San was no exception, and even back when Tang Hao was still a drunkard, Tang San had never looked down on him. A son would always want his father's acknowledgement.

"Dad, you and mom gave me life, this is a favor I can't repay in all my life. My life belongs to you both, and all I have also belongs to you."

Tang San read what Tang Hao was thinking, and used the most direct way to comfort his father.

Tang Hao raised his head, grabbing Tang San's shoulders in steady hands, gazing at his son's handsome face, nodding forcefully,

"You are your dad's pride."

Even though Tang San had always worked hard to control his mood, when he heard Tang San say this he could no longer hold back tears from spilling from his eyes.

"Little San, you are also your teacher's pride, pride of a lifetime."

Grandmaster stepped up next to Tang Hao. Looking at Tang San, his eyes were a lot more excited than Tang Hao. He'd taught a god!

Tang Hao let go, stepping back slightly, leaving Tang San to Grandmaster. Tang San knelt once again in front of Grandmaster. When Grandmaster wanted to reach out and stop him, his arm was grabbed by Tang Hao,

"Grandmaster, this you should accept. You have invested far more in little San than me. I don't qualify as a father, but you are the most outstanding teacher. Without you, little San wouldn't be what he is today."

Grandmaster was caught by Tang Hao, how could he break free? He could only blankly watch Tang San kowtow nine times to him.

Tang San didn't stand yet, raising his head to look at Grandmaster, his eyes teary:

"Teacher, there's something I've wanted to say for a long time. But I've always felt I was never qualified. Because I still hadn't reached the summit of spirit masters. I've always waited for this opportunity. Now I've finally broken through rank one hundred and inherited the Seagod's divinity. It's time."

Grandmaster stared blankly, clearly not understanding what Tang San wanted to tell him.

Tang San's eyes were red rimmed,

"Teacher, you have suffered alone all your life, and never had children. You've placed all your efforts on me. Even though you aren't my blood related father, in my heart, you already stand in the same place. Father, please accept Tang San's bow."

While speaking, Tang San bowed once again, heavily knocking his head three times on the ground. Before he bowed to a teacher, now he bowed to a father. Just like Tang Hao said, Grandmaster had invested far more in Tang San than he. Tang San was also finally at his most glorious moment, and spoke what he had always hidden in his heart.

Xiao Wu had silently come up behind Tang San as soon as he first knelt, and now also bowed along with him.

Grandmaster stared blankly at Tang San, his whole body swaying. If not for Tang Hao supporting him from behind, he might already have collapsed. His lips trembling, humming, looking at Tang San, he actually couldn't even produce any words. Emotionally slowly raising both hands, he held Tang San's broad shoulders, sobbing silently.

His whole life rolled past like a long scroll painting in Grandmaster's mind. When he was small he'd been discriminated against by clan disciples of the same generation because of his variant spirit. Never able to raise his head, he'd cultivated a taciturn character. As he saw those peers grow up step by step, possessing the spirit of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, he didn't know how envious he was. Back then he'd even been closed off. It was also because of this that he quietly left the clan, before he was an adult.

Then he'd met the woman he'd loved the most in his life. That girl came from Spirit Hall, but when she entered his life he didn't know her identity. Even though Grandmaster had a variant spirit, he possessed knowledge the average person had never heard of, and even possessed incomparably deep understanding of twin spirits. Gradually, they fell in love. First love was always the most beautiful, and always unforgettable. In Grandmaster's heart, that remarkable girl was his goddess. Even if they were together, he never dared be intimate with her, for fear of profaning her.

That woman wasn't Liu Erlong, but rather the present Spirit Hall empress, Bibi Dong.

They had a whole two years together, and those two years were the happiest in Grandmaster's life. He told Bibi Dong all about his strange knowledge and thoughts of spirits, every day together with her was carefree and without worries, so happy. Back then he always believed that Bibi Dong was an angel sent to him to complement his flawed spirit. His angel alone. It was also because of Bibi Dong that he stepped out of the shadow in his heart, becoming certain of his future road, growing passionate about deep spirit research.

However, good things don't last forever, the tragedy still continued. One day, the goddess of his heart suddenly appeared before him, coldly telling him that she was only together with him to acquire his knowledge of spirits, she and him were finished. Just those simple words made Grandmaster's heart crumble. That deep wound hadn't healed even now.

Even though Grandmaster could find numerous holes in Bibi Dong's words, she really did leave him. He also finally learned her identity, the hole maiden of Spirit Hall, the Supreme Pontiff's successor. He couldn't help believe everything she said. That night, Grandmaster got drunk for the first time, drinking himself unconscious, and wanted to never wake up.

Then, he met Liu Erlong and Flender, and it was yet another tragedy. The second woman he liked turned out to be his cousin. When he left Liu Erlong, he only wanted death. Yes, only death. When he thought of ending his life, another thought supported him. Before he died, he would prove to the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan that he wasn't useless.

From then on, Grandmaster put all his efforts into researching spirits, forgetting about sleep and food. Only in research could he forget his past pain. Until the day he met Tang San. Grandmaster still clearly remembered when he first saw Tang San's innately full spirit power, and judged he had twin spirits, the excitement he felt. He knew that his chance would come, through this child he would very likely prove himself to his clan. So, Tang San became his disciple.

If Grandmaster wanted more to prove himself to his clan at the start, as time passed, Tang San's position in his heart grew heavier and heavier. Even Grandmaster himself didn't know whether he always considered this child as his disciple, or something deeper.

Things change as time passes, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan was gone, and as the Heaven Dou Empire's Imperial Tutor he no longer had to prove anything to anyone. But, his heart was still empty. Despite being with Liu Erlong every day, the shadow always existed in his heart. Until now, the moment Tang San called him father, the last barriers in Grandmaster's heart finally shattered. He finally found another reason to live after thirty years. For a son, for his son. Even if he had to pay with his life, he wouldn't spare it.

"Good child, good child……"

Grandmaster trembling stroked Tang San's head, big tears rolling from his eyes, his rigid facial muscles even trembling.

To be honest, Tang Hao standing behind him was actually a bit envious, but not jealous. If he had the favor of giving Tang San life, then Grandmaster had the favor of raising him. Teacher for a day, father for life. Tang San wasn't wrong in calling him father.

Grandmaster couldn't control his emotions for a long time. It was Liu Erlong who came forward and helped him pull Tang San up and wiped his tears. She was crying too, who could know Grandmaster's years of suffering better than her?

Flender said in a low voice:

"Xiaogang, this is a happy occasion, you should be excited!"

Grandmaster nodded heard, looking at the much taller and already pulled upright by Liu Erlong Tang San, speaking in his special, but trembling voice:

"Little San, can you say it again?"

"Dad——"

Tang San suddenly stepped forward, tightly hugging Grandmaster, once again making Grandmaster's soul tremble.

"Good, good, good, even if I die this instant, Xiaogang's life hasn't been lived in vain. A son, I have a son, haha, hahahaha……"

Laughing loudly, Grandmaster's face suddenly paled, his laugh also stopping sharply, slowly softening in Tang San's embrace.

Tang San was shocked, immediately holding Grandmaster and pressing a hand against his chest.

The feeling of a lifetime of misery finally bearing fruit made Grandmaster exultant, his emotions fluctuation, years of pent up frustration instantly erupting in a moment, making his weak heart rupture at the same moment. His life flowed away like a river breaking its dam.

"Dad——"

Tang San called shocked.

Grandmaster leaned against him, his breathing as faint as gossamer,

"Little…. San…… Thank…… you. Even though……. my……. life…… has reached……. the end….. To…… die like this…… I……. really…….. never…… imagined it. …… Help…… me…… kill…… Bibi Dong……. This…… is my…… last……. wish……"

"No teacher, you won't die, you won't die."

In a crisis, he even changed back to that familiar nickname. Tang San's eyes changed. This moment his pupils had turned completely sapphire. Grandmaster's pent up frustrations burst with his heart, this was definitely a certain death. But don't forget that the one who just knelt in front of him and called him father was a god.

Immense Seagod power rushed out like the tide, instantly completely enveloping Grandmaster, and moreover freezing him within the divine power, freezing all of Grandmaster's bodily functions in this moment, never changing, and also forcefully maintaining Grandmaster's life.

"I won't let anything steal away your life."

Tang San spoke in an incomparably firm voice, word by word.

The Seagod divine power began to enter Grandmaster's body, every portion of divine power becoming as gentle as possible under Tang San's control. After this divine power fused with Grandmaster, Tang San's expression also turned serious. The heart was definitely one of a human's weakest parts. In order to bring back Grandmaster's life, he had to help restore Grandmaster's heart. The frustrated energy Grandmaster felt had made his heart extremely weak, and even though the frustration had been dispelled, the damage was still extremely serious.

With a sonorous sound, the Seagod Raiment reappeared on Tang San. In order to wrest back Grandmaster's life, Tang San was going all out. He couldn't take any chances, and used the most reliable way to help Grandmaster's heart recover.

The Seagod power slowly contracted, and Tang San slowly infused his purest vitality into Grandmaster. At the same time he raised his right foot, pulling back the Seagod Raiment there. Slashing with a finger, instantly, a stream of golden blue blood dripped out. Tang San condensed these beads of blood without any waste, then slowly poured it into Grandmaster's mouth, using the Seagod divine power to guide it towards the heart.

Tang San's right leg had once held the Blue Silver Emperor right leg bone, and even though the spirit bone had already turned into a part of the Raiment, the blood in Tang San's right leg had always contained its power, Wildfire Burns Without End, Spring Wind Breathes Life Again. After the spirit bone evolved, Tang San's ability not only didn't weaken, but on the contrary strengthened a step further as his body became a god. As a result, blood drawn from his right leg was definitely a panacea. That was the blood of a god.

The blood of gods was definitely extremely potent. If Grandmaster were to eat it under ordinary circumstances, his body might explode from the enormous energy it held, but now there was no need to worry about that. Tang San fully controlled his Seagod power, dissolving every bit of energy in his blood, infusing it into Grandmaster, every change within Tang San's divine sense control.

The method Tang San used was simple and direct as well as extremely effective. In order to keep Grandmaster's blood vessels from being ruptured for too long, he first used his divine power to simulate the heart, joining the ruptured ends together, using Grandmaster's blood vessels to circulate his divine power. Under his meticulous control, Grandmaster's vitality was activated once again.

And following the divine power, relying on Tang San's blood and vitality, Grandmaster's heart also slowly grew bit by bit under his protection.

In order to avoid the same thing happening again, Tang San was sparing no effort to help all of Grandmaster's veins stabilize even further, the energy in his blood slowly dispersing, the Seagod's divine power completely blending into Grandmaster's vein with gentle control.

This was definitely a delicate and difficult process. Even as the Seagod, Tang San still needed the utmost care.

For a full hour the hall was silent, everyone watching nervously.

Finally, as the blue light on Tang San's hand slowly dwindled, Grandmaster drew a deep breath and slowly opened his eyes, his face already rosy again.

An unspeakably relaxed feeling spread through every corner of his body. Grandmaster clearly felt how his veins were untold times more flexible than before, and even his spirit power had risen at least five ranks.

Tang San helped Grandmaster stand, stopping him when he wanted to speak,

"Dad, you don't have to say anything. Don't get too excited either, rest properly for a day and tomorrow you will be completely recovered. Then we can speak again."

Seeing Tang San's deeply concerned gaze, Grandmaster smiled and nodded. Liu Erlong and Xiao Wu immediately stepped forward to support him. Tang San led Grandmaster to the door of the hall, then turned back around. There was no longer any issue with Grandmaster's body, and he had also left a trace of divine intent on him, so that he could instantly appear next to him just in case anything changed. He still couldn't leave. Even though Jialing Pass was broken, there were very many matters still unsettled especially Qian Renxue escaping was like a thorn buried in Tang San's heart.

Tang Hao patted his son's shoulder,

"It's good if it's nothing. Don't get too worried."

Tang San silently nodded. Xue Beng stepped forward, leading Tang San to the main seat. Tang San didn't stand on ceremony, directly sitting down. Since he had become god, his status was entirely different, and he absolutely possessed a superlative position in the Heaven Dou Empire. And after the great battle, his status was supreme in the eyes of the Heaven Dou army. There was nothing inappropriate about Xue Beng's conduct, and refusing would be overly modest.

Xue Beng didn't even sit down, just standing next to Tang San. Even so, his expression was proud. Right now in his heart, he considered taking Tang San as teacher was the best luck of his life.

Tang San said:

"Just now I pursued Qian Renxue, but I was one step late and couldn't find any traces of her. Very strange, she and those few Title Douluo seemed to have disappeared into thin air, even my divine sense couldn't track their location. However, no matter what is said, as long as I oversee this place she won't be able to raise any waves. Your Majesty, what are you preparing next?"

Xue Beng said:

"Teacher, now that we've broken through Jialing Pass, we can say that we've broken open the gate to the Spirit Empire. Even more importantly, we've almost annihilated the Spirit Empire's main spirit master force. It will be very difficult for them to organize any further organized resistance. However, Spirit City does after all have a deep background, I believe we can't act hastily. The army has been at war for so long, always eating the wind and sleeping in tents. I'm preparing to let the army rest in Jialing Pass for a few days, and directly contact the Star Luo Empire to dispatch an elite unit to pincer attack the defending Spirit Empire army over there. Once the Star Luo army has also broken through, we can agree on a point relatively midway to form one allied army, then again break old branches and pull out the rot to thoroughly destroy the entire Spirit Empire, leaving no trouble for later."

Listening to Xue Beng, the crowd present couldn't help nodding. This was undoubtedly the most dependable way to handle it, not giving the Spirit Empire any opportunity. The Star Luo Empire might not have a power like Tang San, but in terms of military might they were even above the Heaven Dou Empire. With their cooperation, the two great armies moving simultaneously wouldn't give the Spirit Empire the slightest chance. At the same time they might also use this opportunity to destroy the Spirit Empire army blocking the Star Luo Empire, thereby weakening the Spirit Empire's overall strength one step further. The remaining war would hold no suspense.

Tang San nodded:

"Then handle it as Your Majesty wishes. For the Star Luo Empire's side, let our spirit master legion and the Tang Army go with a few powers. More people would instead be detrimental."

Xue Beng gazed at the group of powers in the hall,

"I wonder which senior would like to go?"

Everyone spoke practically simultaneously:

"As Your Majesty commands."

Tang San smiled:

"Actually, by my view, it's enough for the old freak to go alone. As long as he can quietly infiltrate the enemy army and attack with poison again, they will collapse."

Dugu Bo said bluntly:

"Little San, are you teasing me deliberately? I couldn't do it again, or don't tell me you'll go together with me to wipe my bum?"

Xue Beng said:

"How about this, school master Tang Xiao, will you lead the Clear Sky School's one hundred disciples as well as the spirit master legion and the Tang Army?"

Tang Xiao nodded:

"As you bid."

Tang San said:

"Boss Dai, you go with Zhuqing and Fatty as well. That will improve our chances a bit. Your Majesty, you might not be aware, but my big brother Dai Mubai is the Star Luo imperial crown prince."

Xue Beng was suddenly stunned, staring at Dai Mubai, then staring at the deep meaning in Tang San's expression. His heart clenched slightly, already understanding something.

Dai Mubai shot Tang San a somewhat grateful glance:

"Fine then, we'll leave with senior Tang Xiao."

Tang Xiao said:

"We should not delay, and we suffered no damage today. We leave early tomorrow. We finish early, and we annihilate the Spirit Empire completely."

The next morning, Tang Xiao led Dai Mubai, Zhu Zhuqing, Ma Hongjun and other powers, as well as the entire spirit master legion apart from the Seven Treasure Glaze Tile school master Ning Fengzhi and the two Title Douluo, and ten thousand Tang Army disciples, and left. Even though the total number was less than twenty thousand, this was the most elite portion of the entire million man Heaven Dou army, and commanded by four Title Douluo, these twenty thousand were enough to contend with the total spirit master legions of the Spirit Empire. With this force joining the Star Luo Empire, the battle was naturally easily settled.

And in Jialing Pass, Xue Beng gave orders for rest, rewarding the three armies. Ten days were allocated for recuperation. According to Xue Beng's plan, in ten days the Heaven Dou army would begin to move, purging the remnant Spirit Empire forces in the surrounding cities, preparing for the two empires to join forces.

However, before three days had passed, there was a sudden change.

"Report——"

Inside the reception hall, Xue Beng with Tang San, marshal Ge Long and Grandmaster were just reviewing the attack plan drawn on the sand table, when an orderly suddenly rushed inside and knelt.

Xue Beng frowned,

"Why such a panic?"

The orderly first glanced at Tang San. To any soldier in the Heaven Dou Empire, to be able to see the lord Seagod close up was an enormous honor.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, a Spirit Empire troop is just heading towards Jialing Pass."

"What?"

Xue Beng was astonished:

"Are they coming to throw their lives away? How many are they? How long before they arrive?"

"Reporting to Your Majesty, the enemy force is less than a hundred thousand, it seems, like it's the Spirit Empire force that retreated the day we broke the fortress. They're not moving particularly fast, still more than a hundred li from Jialing Pass. They're headed straight here."

Tang San stood, frowning:

"Qian Renxue?"

Besides Qian Renxue, he could think of no reason that would make these Spirit Empire troops return to Jialing Pass.

Marshal Ge Long smiled slightly:

"Your Holiness, maybe they've come to surrender."

Tang San said:

"Whatever the case, let's take a look from the walls. Surrender would be quite likely if it was a small army, but there's close to a hundred thousand men coming, that's practically the entire Spirit Empire force that fled that day."

The party quickly climbed to the top of the walls of Jialing Pass. Jialing Pass was mainly fortified towards the Heaven Dou Empire, and this side towards the Spirit Empire didn't have walls as thick and solid, but it was still on the level of a major city. When the group of Heaven Dou Empire powers reached the top, they could just see the opposing Spirit Empire army already slowly approach.

It was obvious at a glance that this Spirit Empire army was a mess, looking like a disorderly mob, completely without momentum. Let alone the Heaven Dou army garrisoned in Jialing Pass, this force might not even be able to overcome twenty or thirty thousand.

Marshal Ge Long laughed:

"It seems I was right, they should be here to surrender."

"Aren't you worried the wind will get your tongue?"

Before Marshal Ge Long had finished, an icy voice suddenly echoed on top of the walls. The sound of this voice might only astonish others, but Tang San's expression suddenly changed. Two golden blue lights suddenly shot from his eyes.

Two figures shot out from the Spirit Empire's scattered formation, not towards Jialing Pass, but rather straight up into the air. The color of the sky actually changed as they flew up, one half golden red, one half deep purple, shining weirdly on Jialing Pass.

That icy voice echoed once again,

"Tang San, step out and accept your death."

Others might not see it clearly, but Tang San clearly saw who those two were. Floating in midair, the one emanating the golden red light reflected in the sky was without a doubt the God of Angels Qian Renxue. Her Angelic Raiment had already completely recovered, and she looked expressionlessly at the person next to her.

Next to Qian Renxue, was a malevolent woman entirely covered in armor glinting deep purple, face purple. From her silhouette and presence, Tang San just about managed to discern her identity. It was astonishingly the Spirit Empire empress, Bibi Dong. Even more astonishing, she should be called: Rakshasa God, Bibi Dong.

Chapter 330

Angel And Rakshasa

(TL by Bagelson)

Rather than two people flying out of the Spirit Empire army, they should be called two gods. God of Angels Qian Renxue, and a purple armored Rakshasa God Bibi Dong. And Tang San now also clearly saw that the commander of the Spirit Empire army below was astonishingly the Spirit Empire's holy maiden, Hu Liena.

Blue light quietly formed revolving around Tang San, light flashed, and all of Jialing Pass turned into a world of blue, driving away the deep purple and golden red colored sky. Tang San had already flown out of Jialing Pass, appearing in midair.

How? Tang San's mind was blank. Everything had been in his control, but he had never imagined this situation.

Indeed, the Spirit Empire's less than hundred thousand men didn't count for much, but Bibi Dong and Qian Renxue facing him now were gods that could overturn the entire Heaven Dou Empire.

The change in Bibi Dong's appearance was enormous, before she had been noble and stunning, and even as an enemy, Tang San had to admit that her temperament was the most noble of all the women he'd met. However, now Bibi Dong only radiated an intensely evil aura, calling her blue faced and viciously fanged was in no way excessive. Her blue-green face and purple armor formed a clear contrast. Her armor was covered in a purple cloud with a vicious smell, and from either side of her back extended four giant sickle blades.

Without a doubt, Bibi Dong no was no longer Bibi Dong from the past. While her aura might be wicked, her god level energy waves weren't fake. It was also her ability that had previously concealed her divine intent, hiding her and Qian Renxue's presence.

Gazing at Bibi Dong, Tang San spoke in a low voice:

"Three days ago, you had already returned, right?"

Bibi Dong gave a cold laugh,

"Kid, how unexpected. Not only did you and her become gods, I too inherited the Rakshasa God's divinity. You both had it much simpler than me. In order to inherit the Rakshasa God, I spent a whole twenty years. Don't tell me you never wondered how I could have such a high position in Spirit Hall that even Qian Daoliu didn't dare easily touch me? That was because he sensed the divinity in me. If I hadn't always been secretly accepting the Rakshasa God's inheritance, do you believe you could have beaten be with that measly spirit power when we both had twin spirits? Now I have finally completed the inheritance. When I underwent the inheritance I was already a rank ninety nine Title Douluo with twin spirits. So what if you defeated my spirit master legions? I will retrieve all of it. The Douluo continent will be my domain."

Tang San looked coldly at Bibi Dong,

"To quote yourself, aren't you afraid the wind will get your tongue?"

Bibi Dong laughed shrilly, making the ears of anyone who listened ache. Even the blue Seagod Domain Tang San had released wavered in this sharp sound.

"Tang San, is your jaw still locked even now? Right, you really are very strong, I admit you are definitely outstanding in the young generation, so much that even this daughter of mine isn't your opponent after inheriting the God of Angels. However, you no longer face just her alone, but me as well. Even one against one you might not be able to beat me, so how would you stand a chance against both of us? Today is the day of your death. You're right, I came three days ago. Unfortunately it was still one step late and I missed that battle, letting you get away with it. I had to bear patiently for three days to treat little Xue's injuries and help her regain her strength.

Tang San suddenly smiled,

"Bibi Dong, is this your confidence? Why would you need to wait three days to know if you could defeat me? It seems your divine intent really isn't clear."

Qian Renxue had been silent for a long time, but finally coldly opened her mouth, gazing at Tang San:

"There's no benefit to more talk. Bibi Dong, remember, I have never admitted to being your daughter. Kill Tang San first. We'll settle our affairs later."

Bibi Dong glanced over at Qian Renxue, her eyes immediately turning moss green, and within that dark green color was also something like a black web, looking extremely strange. A giant dark purple sickle appeared in her hand. She and Qian Renxue holding the Angelic Sacred Sword instantly separated, one left and one right.

All this was really too sudden for Tang San. Even though he'd felt uneasy when he couldn't track and kill Qian Renxue before, he had never been concerned. After all, after he'd planted the seed of defeat in her heart she was completely unable to threaten him, and she wasn't his opponent in terms of pure strength either.

However, Bibi Dong's appearance turned everything on it's head. Regret changed nothing, but he couldn't help feeling intense remorse. Ever since he defeated Bibi Dong, Tang San had somewhat overlooked her. Especially Qian Renxue becoming a god and chasing him had made him consider her as his strongest enemy. Since he had become the Seagod, Tang San was even less inclined to consider Bibi Dong who he defeated before becoming god as a threat. He'd neglected that Bibi Dong was like him, a holder of twin spirits, and had long since reached the rank ninety nine level. How could she never have considered striving for divinity?

Taking a step back, if he could have killed Qian Renxue before returning to rescue Jialing Pass that day, he wouldn't be so passive now. If he faced Bibi Dong alone, Tang San was confident he could at least fight, and who would be the victor couldn't be said. But now the enemies had doubled. One god against two gods definitely wasn't as simple as one spirit master against two spirit masters of the same rank.

The corners of his mouth shifting, Tang San revealed a self mocking expression. When he faced Qian Renxue three days ago he had been wary of her trying a suicide attack. But now their positions were completely reversed. The one that had to stake their life was him.

The top of Jialing Pass was now already dead silent. The soldiers wouldn't feel concerned, in their minds Tang San was unequalled, but all the powers saw that the situation was far from good. This was obvious from how the purple light Bibi Dong emanated was fully capable of rivalling the Angelic power Qian Renxue released. Tang San clearly had no problem fighting one Qian Renxue, but now another enemy with at least her level of strength had appeared. One against two, could he still win?

Just as a haze filled Jialing Pass, the battle in the sky had already begun. The one who took the initiative was unexpectedly the underdog Tang San.

The blue light suddenly converged, and Tang San abruptly flew up, the Seagod Eight Wings unfolding from his back, beating with all their strength and sending him like a blue shooting star towards Qian Renxue on the left. Due to completely drawing the Seagod Domain he released earlier to himself, in this instant, he was completely enveloped in blue light, and couldn't be seen.

Qian Renxue's heart startled, even though she came with Bibi Dong this time, when facing Tang San the oppressive feeling in her heart didn't weaken in the slightest. After all, whenever she fought Tang San in the past she had been at a disadvantage, and this habitual attitude made her divine sense muddled whenever she faced him. Seeing Tang San attack her, the Angelic Sacred Sword rose sharply, intense golden light blossoming like a sun, she also turning into a golden ball of light, meeting Tang San's attack.

Tang San of course had his reasons for striking Qian Renxue first. After all, he'd crossed swords with Qian Renxue several times and was fully familiar with her abilities, completely holding the advantage. Compared to Bibi Dong he was more confident in facing Qian Renxue. In one against two, if he couldn't take the initiative, then there would be no point to continuing the battle. If he let the mother daughter pair charge up the full divine power of two gods, he held no confidence in blocking.

Bibi Dong didn't expect Tang San to strike this quickly either, but her expression didn't change in the slightest. That giant sickle in her hand swung quietly, and a strange scene appeared. The portion of purple light in the sky that belonged to her rolled forward with the gian sickle, turning into a several hundred meter long giant blade that chopped straight at Tang San's back. An attack that had to be dodged, the strategy of besieging Wei to rescue Zhao.

Tang San was already in front of Qian Renxue before the threat behind him arrived. Faced with that familiar power of True Sunfire, Tang San's eyes flashed with divine light, and his incomparably high speed charge came to a sudden halt thirty meters away from Qian Renxue. In fact, he really had been using the full power of the Seagod to charge forward, and coming to such a sudden halt was equivalent to an attack on himself. The expression on his face wavered, clearly enduring an intense impact. However, even in these circumstances, Tang San's actions never slowed for a moment, still as fluent as clouds and water, completing his plan.

The Seagod's Raiment he wore suddenly exploded, brilliant blue light instantly folding. His body, armor and the Seagod Trident instantly merged into one, and then turned into that giant Seagod Trident. Intense blue light swept out, meeting Bibi Dong's attack.

Bibi Dong hadn't seen Tang San's move. Qian Renxue had, but she was just defending with all her strength against the impending attack. Once she saw Tang San suddenly stop in midair and change the direction of his attack, there was no longer enough time to react.

The three were all gods, their attacks were as fast as sparking lightning. One might say that the first feeling was the most important in battles between gods. If that feeling was wrong, you would immediately pay the price.

The Seagod Trident was already pure gold, and that familiar speck of golden light easily floated out, just blending into Bibi Dong's seemingly world rending purple sickle blade. Immediately after, the golden trident spun, and that sickle light blade seemed to attack on its own, striking straight towards Qian Renxue. She was now only twenty meters from Tang San, and when Tang San's trident rolled, the purple sickle was already in front of her.

Boom——

Even Tang San himself was shocked at the result. Qian Renxue's golden light ball was unexpectedly forcibly destroyed by that purple sickle, and she gave a muffled grunt in the air, clearly injured.

Bibi Dong was actually this powerful? Even though he took a bit of advantage by using the Big Dipper to use her force, Tang San was still secretly shocked. Even though Qian Renxue responded in a panic and also lost the rhythm of her defense because of Tang San suddenly stopping his attack, both being gods, Bibi Dong's attack was actually able to blast away Qian Renxue, it was clear how enormous the energy contained in the attack was. Moreover, even if Tang San only relied on his force as a guide, he could still clearly feel an extremely icy wicked divine sense charging at him, forcing him to devote a lot of his divine sense to shield himself.

"What a sly brat."

With a flash of purple shadow, Bibi Dong stepped in the air. Just one step, but she actually arrived in front of Tang San. The purple sickle in her hand slid through the air, appearing in front of the golden trident by a strange arc.

Light flashed, and a golden silhouette separated from the golden trident, Tang San. However, right now all of his Seagod Raiment had turned completely golden, rather than its original blue. He swung the golden trident in his grasp upward in a circle, forming a perfect circle in the air. Unfixed Storm blocked Bibi Dong's attack.

A resounding crack echoed in the air, and Tang San felt his golden trident clearly slow down mid swing. The power of Bibi Dong's purple sickle wasn't stronger than his, but the evil intent it contained constantly assaulted his divine sense while both weapons clashed, making him feel extremely unwell. Clearly, the divine power of light that the Seagod divine power held wasn't enough to withstand the Rakshasa God's peculiar wickedness. This bit was also obvious from when Qian Renxue was beaten away earlier; even the Angelic power's pure sacred force couldn't completely dissolve the Rakshasa God's evil, so how could Tang San's divine power that only held a smidgen of light do better?

With a ringing sound, Tang San and Bibi Dong parted like lightning in the air. A stream of purple black turbulence was already twisting around Tang San, and a whirlpool of blue energy was also around Bibi Dong. Their divine powers simultaneously invaded the enemy, clearly neither of them was at an advantage.

Even though it looked like this on the surface, Tang San had actually gotten the worst of it. After all, when he previously relied on the Big Dipper to shift the attack to Qian Renxue he had forcefully stopped his momentum from flying, leaving his breathing uneven. He'd futher used the Golden Thirteen Halberds' final form, and then repeatedly faced Bibi Dong's attacks. Naturally his condition wouldn't be ideal. Fortunately, Tang San had brought out the true power of the Seagod, and was still able to block. Only with the golden trident transformed, turning his Seagod Raiment completely golden, was his Seagod power and his divine sense completely attuned, just like Qian Renxue's True Sunfire combination. This showed just how careful Tang San was in his previous fight with Qian Renxue, always holding back some insurance. But in the present situation he could no longer hold anything in reserve.

Tang San now knew that he absolutely couldn't stop. Otherwise, if he was besieged by both mother and daughter gods, he would be in danger.

Consequently, at the same time as Tang San separated from Bibi Dong, the eight wings on his back beat, and he flipped over in the air, using the momentum from Bibi Dong's attack to accelerate with all his strength, flying backwards.

Right now Bibi Dong was just balancing in the air, her face showing traces of purple. Her gorgeous Angelic Raiment constantly glinted with rays of purple light. Bibi Dong apparently hated Tang San to the bone, and her first attack earlier was launched with the fully charged up Rakshasa God Domain. Even the god level Qian Renxue couldn't avoid being injured. Luckily her Angelic Domain was purely light attributed, giving it a very powerful resistance against the Rakshasa God's evil energy. But even so, her complexion was extremely ugly, at least she'd suffered some injuries.

Even though Qian Renxue's Angelic Raiment had recovered over the three days time, her all out attack against Tang San back then had after all been extremely exhausting, injuring her roots. That wasn't something a few days of healing could recoup. Further adding Tang San's constantly changing moves, and the unexpected use of the Big Dipper, this time she'd suffered heavily.

Before Qian Renxue had caught her breath, she saw that golden silhouette swiftly grow bigger in her vision, and she couldn't help feeling bitter. Oh Tang San, do you really take me for a pushover? Golden light flashed in her eyes, and Qian Renxue made a choice that Tang San had never expected.

She sharply bit the tip of her tongue, spraying a mouthful of blood on her Angelic Sacred Sword. Her whole body seemed to suddenly expand a bit, and with a resounding explosion, that instant, her Angelic Raiment burst, turning into a massive sweeping flame. The True Sunfire formed by the Angelic Raiment breaking turned into a giant angelic figure in the air. That terrifying energy made the surrounding space darken, it was the Sun Angel she bet her life against Tang San with three days ago.

The difference was that this time Qian Renxue didn't use the Sun Angel to directly attack Tang San, but rather controlled all the energy of that swollen God of Angels to condense in front of her. The incomparable True Sunfire moved along with her, forcibly blocking Tang San's path.

It was a fact that a cornered dog would leap a wall, let alone a god. Tang San had definitely never expected Qian Renxue actually choose not spare her foundational power when the mother-daughter pair had such a clear advantage. The originally weakest point suddenly became the strongest, the scorching heat of the Sun Angel even shattered the space, it really was too great a threat.

Even if Qian Renxue hesitated a moment, the circumstances still wouldn't be this bad. At least Tang San still had a chance to react. However, when Qian Renxue produced the Sun Angel, his distance to Qian Renxue was yet again that subtle twenty meters. But this time was completely different from last time. The energy of the Sun Angel was really too terrifying, Qian Renxue used an instant burst of divine power to target Tang San. The Sun Angel exploded with divine intent, turning into pure pressure. Golden red light covered it in a moment. The Sun Angel's six giant wings instantly closed.

The burst this time differed somewhat to three days ago. Back then Qian Renxue had battled Tang San for a long time, using the Sun Angel at the last juncture after spending considerable divine power. But this time she launched this potent attack from the beginning. As a result, she still had some energy left over to keep herself in the air.

Seeing Qian Renxue's reaction, Bibi Dong was shocked as well. But how could she pass up such an opportunity? Glaring purple light instantly erupted, and apart from the giant sickle in her hand, those eight purple sickles on her back also flew out at the same time. The nine sickles instantly combined, turning into a completely dark purple Rakshasa scythe with countless spiraling magic patterns, slashing straight at Tang San's back.

With a deadly threat approaching from behind and the enormous pressure ahead, Tang San suddenly understood something. In god level confrontations, controlling the battlefield was extremely difficult. Because battles at this level had too many variables. The battlefield that he originally thought was already under his control had been upset because of Qian Renxue's near hysterical effort, even placing him in a difficult spot. With two gods as opponents, even if they only did it subconsciously, they could still form perfect cooperation through their divine sense.

Boom—— Qian Renxue didn't have a monopoly on going all out. Faced with near certain death, Tang San exploded.

Around him, ten spirit rings including the god level spirit rings, collapsed in an instant. He actually used the Great Sumeru Hammer's Ring Detonation on god level power.

The golden trident changed like an illusion in the air, that extremely profound style flowing smoothly, instantly transforming into countless trident shadows. The Golden Thirteen Halberds, thirteen as one. Around Tang San, the Seagod's power exploded like a volcano as ten spirit rings burst simultaneously.

It was also at this split second that he was forced to a stop ten meters in front of the Sun Angel. Despite the Sun Angel's terrifying energy, in the moment of his Ring Detonation, the True Sunfire was still unable to advance even a little.

An ice cold voice reverberated in the sky, filled with sorrow and vastness,

"Sea——god's—— Twi——light——"

Tang San's whole body including the Seagod's Raiment, now completely turned into strange yellow crystal, an immense yellow pillar of light suddenly shooting from him, aimed straight at the menacingly enormous Sun Angel in front.

Water and fire mutually countered each other to begin with, and when that incomparable Seagod energy clashed with Qian Renxue's Sun Angel, an immeasurably enormous shockwave formed in the air.

A white hot ring of light detonated from where the two energies clashed, and five hundred meters in the air turned completely incandescent. Even though the explosion was high in the air, that terrifying pressure still made anyone below the Title Douluo level kneel on the ground, shivering and unable to budge.

The Sun Angel disappeared, and there was still a third of that enormous golden pillar Tang San unleashed remaining. Tang San used fact to prove the distance between him and Qian Renxue. However, this Seagod's Twilight ultimately failed to strike Qian Renxue.

In the instant the two terrifying divine forces collided, Bibi Dong's Rakshasa Scythe was already behind Tang San. Facing the Rakshasa Scythe was Tang San's Seagod Eight Wings. The wings instantly folded, trying to catch the scythe in between. However, this divine weapon condensed from Rakshasa God Bibi Dong's full strength wasn't so easily blocked.

At the same time as that massive blast wave erupted, Tang San's Seagod Eight Wings were crushed by the frightfully evil force. The blast wave caused by the clash of the Seagod and Angel God together with the Seagod Eight Wings completely shattering still wasn't enough to fully stop the Rakshasa God's attack. After all, Tang San's full attack power was directed at the Sun Angel in front of him. What he could do in the end was try his best to shift half a step sideways, avoiding a hit to his heart. The dark purple light disappeared into the right side of his back, then pierced through his chest armor, protruding from the right side of his chest. Tang San could no longer keep his balance, and he toppled forward, the Seagod's Twilight tilting, the remaining third of its power barely brushing by Qian Renxue. Her left arm seemed to evaporate, disappearing completely, and her body was blasted away by the enormous force, spinning as she fell in the distance.

"Bastard!"

Bibi Dong roared, a dark purple string cutting through the air, winding around Qian Renxue in an instant and pulling her back. Even as the god of evil, her heart was filled with fear. Just that bit off! Qian Renxue would have been swallowed by Tang San's Seagod Twilight. No matter how rigid Bibi Dong and Qian Renxue's relationship was, they were still related by blood, and in the end she was still her daughter.

When Bibi Dong pulled back Qian Renxue, this God of Angels was already fully unconscious. And Bibi Dong's divine power wasn't able to heal her any more, she could only rely on her own to recover.

A dark purple ring of light burst from Bibi Dong's right hand, making a grabbing motion towards the Rakshasa Scythe lodged in Tang San's body. She hated Tang San to the extreme, and would detonate Rakshasa Scythe to annihilate this Seagod that nearly killed her daughter.

Pu—— Tang San's hands suddenly grabbed the blade protruding from his chest. His divine sense and remaining divine power condensed on his hands in an instant, stubbornly refusing to let the wicked divine power of the Rakshasa Scythe erupt.

Tang San felt a chill, a vold that seemed to emanate from his soul. Without a doubt, under the enemy's near fatal attack he had defeated Qian Renxue, making her lose any strength to fight, and even nearly killed her. He couldn't have done any better. However, he ultimately faced two gods! The even stronger Bibi Dong's all out attack was more than he could deal with.

Could he have reached the end of his life here? That icy feeling grew stronger and stronger, as if it would swallow his soul.

Tightly gripping that giant Raksahsa Scythe, Tang San started to slowly pull out this divine weapon bit by bit. The sound of the Rakshasa Scythe grinding against the Seagod Raiment made everyone who watched below shudder.

"Little San——"

Tang Hao was sick with worry, fiercely leaping from the top of Jialing Pass. In midair, he threw out his Clear Sky Hammer, also using the Great Sumeru Hammer. Nine rings shattered, all their energy exploding with this one attack, straight at Bibi Dong.

Grandmaster cried out at the same time. He didn't have the ability to help Tang San, and his hands tightly gripped the battlements until his fingernails were cracking and bleeding.

Boom—— A giant shadow flew from Jialing Pass, unexpectedly a giant bone dragon. This was Bone Douluo Gu Rong's ninth spirit ability, Divine Bone Dragon. On its back stood Sword Douluo Chen Xin.

Seven colored light shot from the top of the walls, Ning Fengzhi supporting them with his full strength. He had only one goa, to snatch Tang San from Bibi Dong's hands.

Bibi Dong gave a cold snort, her right hand still controlling the Rakshasa Scythe, the dark purple strings around her already lowering Qian Renxue into Hu Liena's arms. Her left hand swept through the air, and a ray of dark purple light struck Tang Hao's exploding Clear Sky Hammer.

Boom—— Light rained in all directions, and Bibi Dong's expression changed slightly. Clearly, she hadn't thought Tang Hao's attack could actually erupt with such power, his full strength was already infinitely close to a god.

Along with Tang Hao's attack, Bibi Dong's divine sense that was surveilling Tang San wavered for an instant, and Tang San caught this opportunity, abruptly pulling the Rakshasa Scythe from his chest, with a rain of golden blood.

"Humph——"

Bibi Dong gave a cold snort, and the Rakshasa Scythe Tang San held detonated, directly turning into nine giant sickles that burst in front of him. Tang San's hands were shredded by those nine devil blades, and even the Seagod Raiment arm guards turned into fragments that sprayed in all directions. His spirit power really was too weak after launching Seagod Twilight, basically not enough to resist Bibi Dong's attack. With a miserable grunt, he fell straight down. Luckily his divine sense could control the Seagod Trident to sweep out, just managing to block the pursuit of the nine sickles.

A giant sword filled the sky, Sword Douluo Chen Xin's Sword Unity. Leaping from the bone dragon's back, straight at Bibi Dong, right now this Sword Douluo's eyes were filled with the will to die. When he completely forgot about survival, this sword strike became the pinnacle attack of his life.

Bone Douluo's giant body even more directly charged at Bibi Dong, every bone emanating deathly pale light.

These two Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School elders were investing all their spirit power and vitality into this one attack. No eggs remain untouched in an overturned nest. They both understood that if Tang San died in Bibi Dong's hands, then even if the Spirit Empire didn't have a single soldier, it would still be a catastrophe for the Heaven Dou Empire.

Bibi Dong's vicious face was filled with disdain. Light flashed, and she disappeared. Left in her place were her nine devil sickles.

"Bibi Dong, you dare!"

Tang San roared, divine light flashing in his eyes. Just managing to catch his balance, he faced Bibi Dong who appeared suddenly in front of him. He didn't have a trace of fear. In that instant, a surging mental power abruptly exploded from Tang San. Two rays of glittering golden light shot out, straight towards Bibi Dong.

Bibi Dong instantly had a strange feeling. She knew that these two rays of golden light were condensed from Tang San's last mental energy, his last all out attack, but she still couldn't dodge, as if she was drawn in by the light in his eyes, like her soul had left her body.

"Not good."

Bibi Dong cried out inwardly. She obviously hadn't expected Tang San to still be able to condense an attack of this level at this time.

However, no matter what, Tang San had no way of stopping what happened meanwhile. Those nine wicked Rakshasa sickles met Sword Douluo Chen Xin and Bone Douluo Gu Rong.

Both clashes happened nearly simultaneously. Countless deathly pale bones shattered in the air, and the spirit sword that had followed Chen Xin all his life instantly broke. Two Title Douluo that had moved unhindered on the continent for a lifetime died miserably in midair. This was the gap between men and gods.

On Jialing Pass, a deathly pale Xiao Wu just reached the top of the walls with ning Rongrong and Oscar. They had received the news a step late, and could only arrive to see the scene of Tang San and Bibi Dong's last clash.

"Ge——!"
