The hatred was subsiding, the excruciating pain was easing, and Yu Tianheng was panicked and confused, even contemplating self-destruction.
But that charming and lively figure was like a ray of light in the darkness, and also like an anchor point for him to take root in the world, gradually accepting his own changes.
After the competition, Yu Tianheng thought a lot. With Flander's guidance, he understood his own heart and bravely ventured into the Star Dou Great Forest, risking his life, and finally got what he wanted.
The goal has been achieved, and Tang San will witness it with his own eyes. All previous efforts will be in vain. At this moment, Yu Tianheng really doesn't know what to do.
Chapter 524 Inheritance and Crisis!
No matter how deep his feelings for Xiao Wu were, they couldn't compare to what he had seen before. After cuddling together for a while, Tang San looked up at Yu Tianheng with a complicated expression: "Xiao Wu, Brother Yu, shouldn't you give me an explanation?"
Sensing something amiss in Tang San's tone, Xiao Wu remained calm and composed: "Third Brother, I just hadn't seen Brother Tianheng in so long, and I got so excited that we hugged. Nothing else happened."
"Really?" Tang San was a little suspicious, but with the buff of being in love, he still chose to believe Xiao Wu's words, after all, the frankness and sincerity in her tone were undeniable.
"Tang San, I'm sorry, I went a bit too far just now." When Yu Tianheng heard Xiao Wu's explanation, he felt relieved but also a little sad. However, he did not show these negative emotions and took the initiative to apologize.
Tang San had no more doubts and laughed heartily: "Brother Yu, it's nothing. We Shrek Seven Devils are all brothers and sisters, we're all connected by blood. It's just a hug, I won't think too much about it."
Indeed, hugging between brothers and sisters is nothing, but what if Yu Tianheng even kisses her? I really wonder what Tang San's expression would be when he finds out.
Xiao Wu blinked her bright, lively eyes and asked curiously, "Third Brother, you've changed so much! It's only been a few years since we last met, but you look so much more handsome."
Tang San was honored by the praise from his beloved, and everyone present was trustworthy. He then told Xiao Wu and Yu Tianheng about his mother's background and his second awakening.
Yu Tianheng was somewhat taken aback. He had never expected that Tang San's mother was also a 100,000-year-old soul beast in human form. In other words, the powerful Haotian Douluo, who dominated the continent, had married a 100,000-year-old soul beast. Speaking of which, if Tang San and Xiao Wu really did end up together, would their child be human or a soul beast?
Forcibly pulling his somewhat wandering thoughts back, Yu Tianheng looked at Xiao Wu and Tang San: "Now that you've reunited, what are your plans for the future?"
Tang San and Xiao Wu exchanged a glance. Before Tang San could speak, Xiao Wu said, "Wherever Third Brother goes, I will go."
Pfft!
Xiao Wu's obedient attitude towards Tang San was like a sharp dagger, delivering a fatal blow to Yu Tianheng. His expression froze for a moment before returning to normal, and he turned to look at Tang San.
"I want to avenge my mother and father, that is, to destroy the evil Spirit Hall and the Heaven Dou Empire, the backer of Tangshan. I must cultivate diligently and become the number one person on the Douluo Continent." Tang San's eyes flashed with cold light, and his tone was exceptionally icy.
Yu Tianheng frowned deeply: "Do you know what the consequences will be if you become enemies with the Spirit Hall and the Heaven Dou Empire? It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that you've basically declared war on most of the Douluo Continent."
"It's alright, I'm confident of victory." As Tang San spoke, he lightly tapped his forehead with his finger, activating his spiritual power. A sea-blue trident pattern appeared in the center of his forehead: "This is the qualification for inheriting the Sea God's position. There are nine trials in total. If I complete all nine trials, I can become the Sea God."
"Godhood! Godhood!" Yu Tianheng and Xiao Wu exclaimed in unison, their voices filled with awe and surprise.
As the former young master of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan and a 100,000-year-old soul beast in human form, Xiao Wu and Yu Tianheng naturally knew what gods meant. Although most of it was hearsay, the abilities that gods possessed were beyond doubt.
The reason why the Spirit Hall can stand above the two great empires is simple: because they possess the divine spirit Six-Winged Angel, which basically grants them full innate spirit power. Most of their talents can surpass full innate spirit power, and true geniuses can even reach the exaggerated level of full innate spirit power at level 20.
Geniuses are the seeds of strength. The extraordinary talent of being born with full soul power ensured that the Spirit Hall would never lack geniuses or strong individuals. Over the long years, it was only natural that it would surpass the two great empires.
Where do divine martial spirits come from? They come from true gods. If a family has never had a god, it is impossible for a divine martial spirit to be born. This is similar to how it is impossible to possess an imperial weapon if no emperor has ever been born.
Getting back to the main point, Tang San's acquisition of the divine inheritance means that he may become a god in the future. As Tang San's brother and lover, how could they not be excited?
Not only Yu Tianheng and Xiao Wu, but even Tang Hao, who was hiding in the shadows, underwent a dramatic change in expression—first ecstatic, then hesitant, then gloomy, and finally his hesitation turned into determination.
Tang Hao was indeed excited at first, but then he began to doubt the truth of the matter. The reason for his gloomy expression was that Tang San had not told him about this. He suspected that Tang San knew that he had seen through his identity. His final hesitation turned into determination because Tang Hao remembered the great power of the gods.
Can gods resurrect people? The moment this thought arose, Tang Hao's heart surged uncontrollably, and he almost let his aura leak out and was discovered by the three people under the tree.
Sects, monsters possessing his son's body, and revenge were all unimportant to Tang Hao. He only wanted to know if gods could truly resurrect the dead, and he was willing to pay any price for it.
For Ah Yin! With a hardened heart, Tang Hao used his remaining right hand to rub his face repeatedly, slowly smoothing out the coldness in his expression.
Regardless of why Tang San didn't tell him about obtaining the divine inheritance, from now on, he must show the gentleness and love that a father should have.
It wasn't that Tang San discovered anything; it was simply that he didn't have the opportunity.
After leaving the City of Slaughter, Tang San was filled with killing intent. Tang Hao took him directly to a small town to start forging, allowing him to vent his killing intent through forging.
Just as Tang San was about to tell Tang Hao that he had obtained the divine inheritance, Tang Hao immediately suggested that he could go find Xiao Wu. Tang San was so overwhelmed by this good news that he had no time to think about the trivial matter of the Sea God's inheritance.
It must be said that in some ways, Tang San and Tang Hao are indeed similar. Both of them prioritize women over the greater good. Although from the perspective of transmigrators, some of their actions may seem a bit abstract, their love is still quite genuine.
"My first trial as the Sea God is to go to Sea God Island. According to the information attached to the divine inheritance, it is an excellent training ground." After briefly showing the Sea God mark, Tang San looked at Xiao Wu and Yu Tianheng: "We can invite everyone to go with us when we return to Shrek Academy. We can improve together and become stronger."
Yu Tianheng and Xiao Wu were smitten, but before they could give an answer, trouble came knocking.
"Little San, run!" Tang Hao shouted, revealing his figure. As he fell, his only right arm gripped the Clear Sky Hammer that had materialized out of thin air, and his nine spirit rings—two yellow, two purple, four black, and one red—instantly shone.
"You reacted quite quickly!" The moment the voice fell, an old man in a gray robe descended across space. The terrifying soul power fluctuations caused ripples to spread through the space. His right arm suddenly stretched forward, growing larger in the wind, transforming into a hundred-foot-long crocodile claw, which pressed down on the head of Tang Hao, the Haotian Douluo who had just appeared.
Golden Crocodile Douluo never expected that his plan to quickly help Salas hunt for a spirit ring would lead to such a wonderful opportunity. Look what he discovered: a 100,000-year-old spirit beast, a transformed 100,000-year-old spirit beast, and Haotian Douluo Tang Hao. It was like a gift from heaven.
Rumble!
The hundred-zhang-long Haotian Hammer collided head-on with the Golden Crocodile Douluo's downward-pressing crocodile claws, producing a deafening roar. The space shattered in less than a breath, and the black spatial rifts emitted a tremendous suction force, as if to devour everything. The massive aftershocks of the collision swept across the surrounding area, uprooting large trees before they were completely swallowed by the pitch-black void.
The two are evenly matched, but that doesn't mean that Tang Hao at this time can fight the Golden Crocodile Douluo at the limit level to a standstill.
The hundred-foot giant hammer was Tang Hao's limit when he didn't use the exploding ring, but it wasn't the limit for Golden Crocodile Douluo. On the contrary, it was just the power of one palm strike from Golden Crocodile Douluo.
Glancing at Tang Hao, who was struggling to hold on, Golden Crocodile Douluo wanted to wipe out everyone present in one fell swoop, but he also knew when to stop and to pick on the weak. So, while pressing down on Tang Hao with his right hand, he suddenly stretched out his left hand behind his back and grabbed at the panicked Tang San, Xiao Wu, and Yu Tianheng.
Compared to the unknown 100,000-year-old soul beast in the Lake of Life, it would be better to capture this transformed soul beast, which has virtually no power to resist.
This is the rich experience accumulated from living long enough. No matter how much you ultimately gain, the gains you hold in your hands are the most reassuring.
Having lived to the age of Golden Crocodile Douluo, what shame or face would he have left? Since he was once able to put aside his pride and take the initiative to learn internal martial arts from others, today, as a Limit Douluo, he will not feel any shame in crushing a few Soul Kings and Soul Emperors.
"Xiao Wu, be careful!" The Azure Bull Python roared, its massive body bursting out of the water, covered in azure lightning, as it lunged forward with all its might.
The lake was some distance from the edge of the forest. If it were any other opponent, the Azure Bull Python's speed would be more than enough. However, this time the enemy was a Limit Douluo who had reached the pinnacle of human strength.
Golden Crocodile Douluo's left hand rapidly expanded, transforming into a hundred-foot-long crocodile paw in mid-air, which slammed down towards Xiao Wu and her group. This was Golden Crocodile Douluo's cautiousness.
"Invincible Golden Body!" At the critical moment, Xiao Wu's Soft Bone Rabbit race's bugged soul skill was unleashed. The girl soared into the air, and under the distressed gazes of Tang San and Yu Tianheng, a golden light shone in front of the two useless men.
Click!
Although it could withstand a full-force attack from a god, the golden light actually cracked instantly upon contact with Golden Crocodile Douluo's palm, and would shatter completely in at most two seconds.
The peak effect of the Invincible Golden Body Soul Skill may indeed be as described, but Xiao Wu's soul power and cultivation level are insufficient to push the effect of this Soul Skill to its limit, and in the end she can only barely block it.
boom!
The light shattered, and the giant hand pressed down fiercely. Fortunately, the time Xiao Wu had gained was enough, and the Azure Bull Python finally arrived.
The green shadow swept its giant hand toward Golden Crocodile Douluo, and with a surge of powerful soul energy, it instantly swept away Xiao Wu and the other two. The space collapsed the next moment!
Chapter 525 Humans and Beasts Join Forces to Fight the Golden Crocodile
Dark cracks appeared one after another. If the Azure Bull Python hadn't had foresight and swept Xiao Wu and the other two away with one tail, they would have been completely swallowed up by the collapsing void.
Whether they will be torn to pieces by the spatial turbulence or teleported somewhere by the spatial channel is hard to say.
The moment the giant hand collided with the snake's tail, the superiority was immediately apparent. The Golden Crocodile Douluo's sharp claws left a thick, long gash on the Azure Bull Python's tail, and blood flowed rapidly like a stream.
"Salas, go and bring those three people back. If you can capture that 100,000-year-old transformed soul beast, I'll make her your ninth soul ring, but you have to keep her soul bone." Golden Crocodile Douluo, who was locked in combat with Haotian Douluo and the Azure Bull Python, turned to look at Salas, who had just arrived, and calmly gave the order.
Earlier, after spotting Tang Hao, he directly broke through the air and left Salas behind, who only caught up now.
"Thank you for your generous gift, Second Elder!" Salas was overjoyed. He bowed and clasped his hands in greeting, his eyes flashing with a cold light as he looked at the three dark figures that were about to disappear from sight.
With his soul power surging, his martial soul was instantly activated. The deep-sea monster granted his body great flexibility. Salas swung his arm forward, directly wrapping it around the trunk of a distant tree. With a swing of his body, he chased after Xiao Wu and the other two.
Golden Crocodile Douluo turned his head and glanced at it, without giving any further instructions. As for whether Salas would keep the soul bone for himself, he had never considered that.
It wasn't that Golden Crocodile Douluo trusted Salas, but rather that he understood the difficulty of absorbing a 100,000-year spirit ring. For a quasi-titled Douluo like Salas, with his average physical abilities, absorbing a 100,000-year spirit ring would take a considerable amount of time, at least several days. During that time, Golden Crocodile Douluo would have already resolved the immediate problem.
As for the question of why Salas didn't absorb the soul bone before absorbing the soul ring, don't forget that soul rings can also disintegrate. Not everyone is like Huo Yuhao, who can make the Ice Emperor cooperate willingly.
Soul bones also require absorption time, and the absorption time for a 100,000-year-old soul bone will only be longer.
One option is to absorb a 100,000-year soul bone, but the 100,000-year soul ring will most likely disintegrate, and the Spirit Hall will hunt you down across the entire continent afterward; the other is to safely obtain the 100,000-year soul ring without any hidden dangers. Salas, being a smart man, knew the answer was obvious.
……
Xiao Wu stretched her arms behind her back, one hand holding Tang San and the other holding Yu Tianheng, leading the two of them to travel swiftly through the Star Dou Great Forest.
"Xiao Wu, what about the Ming Dynasty?" Yu Tianheng channeled his soul power into his legs, activated his martial soul, and followed closely behind Xiao Wu, rushing forward while asking the question.
"Don't worry, Da Ming is the strongest in the Star Dou Great Forest. That Title Douluo can't do anything to him," Xiao Wu said confidently. "Let's escape first, and then come back to find him later."
Tang San did not communicate with the two. His eyes were filled with a faint purple light as he looked around, observing any movement.
"Not good, someone's chasing us from behind, we need to speed up." With the powerful vision granted by his Purple Demon Eye, Tang San was the first to spot Salas chasing after them. His expression changed slightly, and he quickly warned him.
Xiao Wu and Yu Tianheng looked back. In the dense forest, the treetops in the distance were constantly swaying. A dark shadow was rapidly approaching the three of them at an extremely terrifying speed. Its arms were like tendrils, hooking onto the branches.
"Run!" The three shouted almost simultaneously, activating their full soul power amplification. They stepped through the flying mud and weaved through the woods, trying to shake off their pursuers.
……
"Explode the rings!" Tang Hao roared, and the Clear Sky Hammer in his hand rapidly expanded, causing the first four soul rings on his body to shatter almost simultaneously.
"Dragon Blood, Ignite!" The Azure Bull Python's voice was deep as crimson flames ignited on its hundred-foot-long body, unleashing immense power that surged through its limbs and bones, greatly increasing its aura.
Golden Crocodile Douluo's eyes shot out two dazzling golden beams, his body swelled in the wind, and his roar shook the space: "Well done!"
A dark golden light covered several miles, and an immense pressure was released unrestrainedly, like the ferocious aura of an ancient beast raging wildly. The transformation ended, and the old man disappeared, replaced by a golden crocodile a thousand feet long.
Thick, dense scales covered his entire body, their dark golden armor gleaming in the sunlight, giving him an aura of indestructibility. The lush forest around him appeared like weeds, and with each breath from his crocodile snout, subtle gusts of wind silently formed. With a casual sweep of his massive tail, swathes of trees were instantly destroyed as if autumn leaves had been swept away by the wind.
"Tang Hao, and this little snake, you two are quite good. Perfect for sparring with this old man." The voice was like thunder, resounding throughout the surrounding area. The terrifying pressure was exerted on Tang Hao and the Azure Bull Python, giving them a sense of oppression as if Mount Tai were pressing down on them.
Tang Hao and the Azure Bull Python exchanged a glance, both understanding each other's thoughts: they had to join forces, otherwise they might perish here today.
……
A thousand meters in the air, the deep power of darkness concealed several figures. The three people facing off below were completely unaware, and their every move was being watched by everyone.
"How interesting. I never thought that one day humans would join forces with soul beasts to fight against another human." The burly, towering Xiong Jun watched with great interest the human and beast about to start their battle below and commented.
“That human is extremely powerful. If no one intervenes, Tang Hao and the Azure Bull Python will likely perish here.” As the Demon King spoke, he looked at the black-haired middle-aged man at the front of the group, wanting to know what the man was thinking.
Zi Ji was somewhat surprised: "King of Ten Thousand Demons, are humans really that strong? Although the Azure Bull Python is not a pure-blooded dragon, it still retains a small amount of Azure Dragon bloodline within it."
"At most, Xiong Jun and Wan Yao Wang can only fight him to a draw. Of course, if they deliberately delay, they will be the ones to win in the end." The Beast God Di Tian, who was at the front of the group, spoke slowly, and after observing for a moment, he explained in a low voice, "This Limit Douluo's soul power is very pure, but the total amount of soul power is relatively weak. He should not have condensed a soul core in his body; if he had condensed a soul core, he could have completely taken Xiong Jun or Wan Yao Wang down with him."
Biji looked thoughtfully at the rumbling forest below and asked Di Tian, "So, are we just going to ignore this Azure Bull Python?"
"Just let him be. If he's capable, he can get away on his own. If he's not, he deserves to become someone else's soul ring." Di Tian withdrew his gaze from below and looked at the group of ferocious beasts beside him. "I'm going out for a while. The master said he found another continent where there are ferocious beasts with cultivation levels comparable to mine. I plan to go and take a look. Who among you would like to come with me?"
Brigitte and Murasaki instinctively took a step back, their movements perfectly synchronized and in perfect unison.
The two women exchanged a glance, and simultaneously revealed an awkward yet polite smile on their faces; their actions had already given the answer.
The remaining ferocious beasts kept their eyes down and remained silent. Most of them had taken turns visiting the human world and knew a lot about human relationships and customs. This was a matter for the Beast God, and it was inappropriate for others to interfere.
