Chapter 117 Tang San's Defense Breaks

The Goddess of Life looked at the four God-Kings and said softly, "This matter is of great importance and should indeed be investigated together. Why not set aside the dispute for now and go see what has happened?"

The God of Kindness nodded: "Life says that the five God-Kings going together can ensure that no further accidents will occur and that the truth will be found out."

Tang San pondered for a moment, and the trident in his palm slowly dissipated: "Fine. But if I find out that someone deliberately framed me..." A golden light flashed in his eyes, and the Sea God's pressure swept towards the God of Destruction as if it were a tangible force.

The God of Destruction scoffed, clearly taking this as a counterattack: "Who's feeling guilty? We'll find out when we get there! Don't end up destroying someone's lair and leaving them nowhere to cry!"

As soon as he finished speaking, five divine lights tore through space and instantly appeared outside Douluo Star.

At this moment, the chaotic boundary wall of Douluo Star is churning violently, like a boiling pot of soup.

As soon as the five God Kings appeared, their divine senses enveloped the entire Douluo Star like a net covering the sky.

With so many divine thoughts descending, an ordinary planet would have been annihilated long ago, but Douluo Star remained unscathed, and even the divine thoughts of the five divine kings could not penetrate it in the slightest.

The chaotic boundary wall surged like a boiling pot of porridge, and the divine thoughts of the five god-kings swept down like a tide, only to be shattered by the halo of light.

Even more astonishingly, this mortal realm exuded the pressure of the divine realm, with wisps of immortal energy emanating from it.

"Is it really transforming into a god?!" Tang San's expression changed drastically. His divine sense crashed against the boundary wall like a madman, but was bounced back every time.

"Where are my father and mother? Why can't I sense them at all?!"

When he turned to the God of Destruction, his tone was urgent: "Stop arguing, let's join forces and break through this barrier!"

However, no sooner had he finished speaking than another unexpected event occurred. The vast expanse of space seemed to have been paused, and time stood still!

"How is this possible? We are already God-Kings, how could any being be able to freeze us in place!"

All the God Kings were greatly alarmed. Tang San, in particular, felt a deep-seated fear, as if he had become a rat trapped in a jar, being stared at by a colossal abyss beast.

The next moment, the gazes of the five God Kings turned to Douluo Star at the same time, and a figure slowly emerged.

"Huo Yuhao?!"

The newcomer was a boy of twelve or thirteen years old; who else could it be but Huo Yuhao?

He looked at Tang San, who was frozen in place, and a meaningful smile appeared on his lips: "No need to look anymore, Father-in-law, your family is all here."

As Huo Yuhao finished speaking, a slender and graceful figure appeared in his arms; it was Tang Wutong.

Seeing the girl in his arms looking bewildered and unaware of what had happened, Huo Yuhao gently stroked her cheek and smiled, "Wang Dong, long time no see."

Having gained the power to disregard all rules, the inner demons in his heart had long since vanished.

But this scene struck Tang San like a thunderbolt.

"Huo Yuhao! You're asking for death! Let go of Xiao Qi!!" His eyes were bloodshot, and his divine power roared wildly, but he could not break free from the constraints of time and space.

"Dad?!" Tang Wutong finally reacted when she heard the familiar voice. She struggled to push Huo Yuhao away, but found that she couldn't even move a finger.

"Father-in-law, why are you angry?" Huo Yuhao looked up at Tang San, his tone somewhat amused.

"Isn't this what you wanted? To test me, you even split your own daughter in two." He gently stroked Tang Wutong's hair and held her tender, soft body tightly in his arms. "Unfortunately, all the seals you've set up now are useless against me."

"Useless?" Tang San's body, which was imprisoned by time and space, trembled violently, but his expression was unusually calm, and there was even a hint of smugness.

"Huo Yuhao, even though I don't know how you mastered this power, do you really think that just because you're slightly stronger, you can act arrogantly in front of me?"

He paused deliberately, then said, word by word, "Your mother, Huo Yun'er, has had her soul resurrected by me and is currently resting and recuperating in the realm of gods. I can make her soul vanish at any time, never to be reincarnated again!"

As expected, these words struck like a thunderbolt, causing Huo Yuhao's body to stiffen abruptly. The playfulness in the boy's eyes vanished instantly, replaced by incredulous shock: "You... took my mother to the God Realm?!"

"Otherwise what?" Seeing Huo Yuhao's expression change, Tang San's lips curled into a knowing smile, deliberately slowing his speech. "As a God King, as an enforcer of the God Realm, reversing life and death is not difficult for you. If you leave Douluo Star and resolve this anomaly, I can reunite you and your child; otherwise..."

The threat in his voice was like a poisoned icicle, piercing straight to the heart.

"Tang San!" Huo Yuhao's voice suddenly rose, and under his furious divine sense! The surrounding stars trembled and instantly disintegrated! They were all destroyed!
Even the stars in the Douluo Galaxy are being destroyed and reborn!
"If you dare touch a single hair on my mother's head, I will make you experience the most desperate pain in the world!"

Held in his arms, Tang Wutong was shocked and struggled to cry out, "Dad! How could you..." She knew how deep the bond between Huo Yuhao and her mother was, and her father was using such means to blackmail her. This was not the righteous father she knew at all!
"Xiao Qi, shut up!" Tang San interrupted his daughter sharply, his gaze fixed on Huo Yuhao like a hawk's, then said as if bestowing a favor:

"If you know what's good for you, release her immediately, lift the restrictions on Douluo Star, and come back to the God Realm with me to receive your punishment. For Xiao Qi's sake, I might spare your life and even reunite you and your child. Otherwise..."

He deliberately emphasized the phrase "mother and son reunion," attempting to soften the twelve or thirteen-year-old boy with familial affection, even though the other party was already a supreme god-king, in his eyes he was nothing more than a child who could be manipulated.

He was incredibly excited at that moment.

Not only did he gain a supreme god-king who was under his control, but he also enabled Douluo Star, which was originally his backyard, to directly advance in rank. He killed two birds with one stone...

He could almost picture the divine realm becoming his backyard...

Meanwhile, the God of Destruction frowned.

He was not stupid; he had already seen that Tang San did indeed have a plan for Douluo Star, but the situation had already exceeded his control.

The God of Destruction looked at Tang San with undisguised contempt, scoffing at his methods of using mortals as hostages and his own daughter as bait.

But before Tang San could finish his threatening words, Huo Yuhao suddenly burst into a thunderous laugh:
"Hahahaha! Tang San, your face is even more laughable than a clown!"

The boy, who had been tense and furious, suddenly burst into laughter, looking at a clown with the same expression he had when he saw him.

The laughter and words struck Tang San like a heavy hammer, causing his face to darken abruptly.

Huo Yuhao slowly raised his other hand, and light flowed in his palm, causing four figures to appear out of thin air.

It was Tang Hao, A Yin, and Da Ming and Er Ming!
"Mother! Father! Daming! Erming!" Tang San screamed incoherently, his previously confident expression completely shattering. His pupils bulged as if they were about to pop out, his lips trembled, and even his voice changed tone, "What...what did you do to them?"

Seeing his loss of composure, Huo Yuhao's sneer deepened: "Tang San, let's not even talk about how much you, old dog, have interfered with Douluo Star after becoming a god... Just in terms of hostages, I have far more than you do."

"Your father, your mother, your brothers are all with me. Do you think you have the right to blackmail me?"

The God of Destruction's deep laughter rang out from the side, filled with undisguised mockery: "Sea God, is this what you call righteousness? You used mortals to threaten others, only to be outmaneuvered by the same tactics. How utterly laughable!"

After being repeatedly mocked by Huo Yuhao and the God of Destruction, Tang San's face instantly turned a deep liver color, then suddenly faded to a deathly pale.

"You're asking for it!! You're asking for it!"

His divine power surged more and more violently, and the phantom images of the two super artifacts, the Asura Sword and the Trident of the Sea God, trembled wildly in his palm, but they could not break free from that invisible restraint.

Looking at his parents and brothers, he felt the panic of "loss of control" for the first time.

After displaying the hostage, Huo Yuhao's gaze returned to Tang San's face, chilling him to the bone: "Besides, do you really think you can control my mother's soul?"

"I'll tell you right now, my divine position is that of the God of Souls! Don't you find it laughable that you're playing tricks on a supreme god-king of souls?!"

"Come back, Mother!"

Huo Yuhao shouted, and suddenly opened his other hand. A supreme law that surpassed the power of a god-king surged from Huo Yuhao's body!

Instantly, celebratory music filled the entire Douluo Star! It was like a celebration!

The immense divine power of the soul pierced through the space-time of the God Realm, and a vortex appeared out of thin air. At the other end of the vortex, the soul of a gentle woman slowly floated out and fell into the boundary wall of Douluo Star.

Even Tang San's wife, Wang Dong's mother, Xiao Wu, was trapped on Douluo Star!

"You fool, do you really think you can pull off your ridiculous schemes in front of the Supreme God-King?!"

Huo Yuhao sneered and grabbed Tang San, who was holding two super artifacts, with his big hand. His five fingers fell like iron clamps, firmly holding the sea god in his palm, making him unable to resist at all!
With a crack, under the force exceeding one million jin, Tang San's bones, which had been sealed by all his divine power, were shattered inch by inch, and he immediately spat out a mouthful of blood!

Just moments ago, Tang San felt he had everything under control. Faced with this desperate situation, he finally broke down, looking at Huo Yuhao with immense resentment and terror:

"No, this is impossible! How could I, Tang San, have fallen to such a state?! I am clearly an enforcer of the divine realm! You should be under my control!"

He screamed incoherently, his eyes unfocused, all traces of his previous composure gone, and all traces of his lofty, divine kingly majesty nowhere to be found.

The enforcers who once held the reins of order in the divine realm have now become fish on the chopping block. The despair of falling from the clouds into the mire is something Tang San finds hard to accept.
