Chapter 678 Tang San VS Deep Sea Demon Whale King

Witnessing the changes in mid-air, Xiaobai's expression changed drastically, and she exclaimed in shock, "Energy armor transformation! It seems it wasn't just boasting; it has probably truly reached a level close to godhood. The Sea God of yesteryear was able to fuse energy with himself upon becoming a god, forming a divine armor, and transforming his martial soul into the Sea God Trident as his weapon. While this Deep Sea Demon Whale King cannot yet achieve this—it has only transformed energy into armor and cannot fully fuse it with its body—it truly is only a hair's breadth away!"

Dai Mubai's expression also turned grim. "After transforming into human form, the energy that couldn't be fully solidified into the body was compressed into this armor. Wearing it, we can still use it to unleash the power of the original energy. There's almost no loss. It seems that Xiao San miscalculated. This Deep Sea Demon Whale King is much stronger than we imagined."

Tang San, suspended in mid-air, appeared remarkably calm. He understood what Dai Mubai could, but his understanding was deeper than Dai Mubai's; after all, he had faced a true god-level powerhouse. While the armor conjured by the Deep Sea Demon Whale King using its own energy was powerful, it was still significantly weaker than Qian Renxue's Angel Set. Tang San's advantage lay in the fact that no matter how powerful his armor was, its reliance on the power of nature was primarily on water; his other attribute, lightning, was merely secondary. As the inheritor of the Sea God's power, Tang San feared nothing more than water. Even Qian Renxue, who hadn't fully mastered the Angel God's techniques, was overwhelmed by Tang San; how could he possibly back down against the Deep Sea Demon Whale King?

From an energy perspective, the power of the Deep Sea Demon Whale King is undeniable; its overall energy intensity is even comparable to Qian Renxue's. However, it is not a god after all, and while its origin, the Deep Sea Demon Whale, is also a top-tier soul beast, its attributes are still somewhat inferior to the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger that Tang San had previously encountered. The Dark Demon Evil God Tiger possessed true balance across the three elements. If Tang San were facing a million-year-old Dark Demon Evil God Tiger, he wouldn't even hesitate; he would turn tail and run. Moreover, according to Tang San's estimation, if the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger wanted to become a god, it wouldn't take a million years at all.

The Eight Spider Lances slowly extended, their tips pointing towards the Deep Sea Demon Whale King. Tang San's gaze was fixed and cold, unmoved by the opponent's power.

The Deep Sea Demon Whale King was somewhat disappointed at Tang San's appearance. However, his hatred for Tang San had reached its limit. Although he had transformed into human form, the pain within him remained. The devouring ability of the Eight Spider Lances and the accompanying toxins were somewhat manageable, but the key issue was the extreme combination of ice and fire from the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well, which was causing his body to fluctuate between hot and cold, making him extremely uncomfortable. Although some of the two energies had been neutralized, completely eliminating them would not be a matter of a short time. This injury alone would require a considerable amount of time to heal.

The two, one human and one whale, faced off in the air, their gazes locked in a fierce confrontation. Although the Deep Sea Demon Whale King's energy far surpassed Tang San's, he couldn't gain the upper hand in terms of aura, as Tang San's spiritual power was even greater. The Deep Sea Demon Whale King's deep purple single eye met Tang San's clear blue eyes, and his aura was gradually suppressed by Tang San's gaze. The aura that should have reached its peak after transforming into human form slowly declined.

On the battlefield, morale often proves to be the key to victory or defeat; the lower the morale, the less ability one can utilize. Everyone knows this, so the Deep Sea Demon Whale King decided not to wait any longer. What good is high mental strength if the difference in energy is undeniable?

"Die!" the Deep Sea Demon Whale King roared, raising his right hand sharply. Purple orbs of light appeared around his body, instantly covering an area of ​​hundreds of square meters. Each orb locked onto Tang San, and the massive energy fluctuations turned the sky above the Deep Sea Demon Whale King's side purple, causing it to distort slightly.

A piercing sound of air being torn apart rang out. From the moment it was condensed to the moment it was released, only a single breath had passed. The thousands upon thousands of purple light orbs hurtled towards Tang San like a meteor shower, their speed so fast that it could only be described as lightning.

Three parts water, seven parts lightning—that was Tang San's assessment of the Deep Sea Demon Whale King's attack. Each purple orb was formed from the fusion of two energies, making it a composite attribute attack. Undoubtedly, they were like lightning beads; once they collided, they would unleash terrifying power. This wide-range, targeted attack was impossible to dodge.

Tang San had no intention of dodging at all. He snorted and put his left hand behind his back, while raising the Sea God Trident in his right hand. He had already unleashed a simple and unadorned move, the Unpredictable Storm.

Having narrowly escaped death after being chased by Qian Renxue, and after witnessing the Sea God unleash the Unpredictable Storm for the second time, Tang San's understanding of this divine skill had reached an unprecedented level. Although his Sea God Trident was no longer a true divine weapon, it did not prevent him from unleashing this attack. Even without the divine power of the Sea God Trident, this move was still a divine skill.

A huge halo lit up in the sky, its color a dark red. This time, it was no longer the energy of the Blue Silver Emperor, but rather came from the Clear Sky Hammer. A chilling killing intent filled the sky in that instant, and Tang San released the Killing God Domain from the Clear Sky Hammer he carried on his back.

Under the influence of the Killing God Domain, the halo conjured by the Sea God Trident instantly turned blood red. Tang San's movements did not stop; he circled the trident left and right, continuously drawing blood-red halos into the air. Strangely enough, these halos seemed to possess a tremendous suction force. Although the range of the Thunder Pearls attacked by the Deep Sea Demon Whale King was vast, as soon as one of these halos appeared, it would immediately absorb a cluster of pearls towards it.

The Deep Sea Demon Whale King's expression changed slightly. Originally, he planned to use his superior energy and the explosive power of his lightning-attribute attacks to kill Tang San. However, when the lightning orbs he released were caught in the Unstable Storm Ring, their mental connection was immediately severed, and the orbs didn't even explode. They simply disappeared silently within the crimson halo created by the Unstable Storm.

"How is this possible?" The Deep Sea Demon Whale King was shocked. He knew best how powerful the energy he had released was. In his view, even if Tang San's mental strength was stronger than his own, it couldn't be much stronger, and it was impossible for him to sever all the mental connections of such a wide-range skill like this. The only thing he hadn't expected was that what Tang San was now using was the Sea God's divine skill.

The Deep Sea Demon Whale King was slightly stunned by the surprise, and in that brief moment, all his attacks landed on empty air, and not a single lightning bead exploded.

"Tang San's strength has reached this level?" Xiao Bai exclaimed in amazement. As she spoke, Ning Rongrong on her back raised the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda again, and seven more beams of light shot out, shining towards Tang San.

Ning Rongrong is currently at the eighth ring, and the reason she released seven beams of light is because when she unleashed her soul skill, she also released her seventh soul skill, Nine Treasures True Body, which landed on Tang San's body. This is also a powerful aspect of being a Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda soul master. Her seventh soul skill can be used on both herself and her allies. The first six soul skills can amplify Tang San's power by 90%, but this seventh beam of light allows Tang San to also enjoy the benefits of the Nine Treasures True Body: when using his own soul skill, his soul power is reduced by only half. In this way, Tang San's sustained combat ability is naturally greatly increased.

Tang San had previously risked injury to approach the massive body of the Deep Sea Demon Whale King, but his injuries had been completely healed by the Crystal Caterpillar Intestines. Combined with the energy he gained from absorbing the Deep Sea Demon Whale King, he was now at an unprecedented peak. The moment Ning Rongrong's seven amplification spells landed on him, Tang San's entire being condensed to an incredibly terrifying level. With a loud shout, as if a thunderclap resounded in mid-air, he charged towards the Deep Sea Demon Whale King like an arrow.

The Deep Sea Demon Whale King showed no weakness, its entire body radiating purple light as it charged towards Tang San. It clenched its fists and clasped them together in front of its chest, a purple halo rippled outwards from its chest, much like the swirling, swirling gem on its chest. Wherever the purple light passed, the air seemed to freeze.

This is a skill derived from the Demon Whale Domain of the Deep Sea Demon Whale King, similar to the effect of Tang San's Blue Silver Orca Demonic Absorption. Once enveloped in it, one will immediately fall into a brief state of dizziness. In a battle at their level, even a moment of dizziness can be fatal.

However, just as the purple light was about to make contact with Tang San's body, his second spirit ring instantly exploded. A powerful surge of dark crimson-gold energy erupted, forcefully shattering the approaching purple light. At the same time, the Clear Sky Hammer in Tang San's hand swelled rapidly, and he spun once in mid-air before the enormous Clear Sky Hammer crashed down towards the Deep Sea Demon Whale King. This was the ultimate technique of the Great Sumeru Hammer: Ring Explosion.

Using the power of the exploding rings, Tang San instantly neutralized his opponent's restrictive skills, then unleashed the concentrated energy into a powerful attack. Tang San's response at this moment can only be described as perfect.

Even the Deep Sea Demon Whale King couldn't have imagined that Tang San, who seemed elegant and calm, would launch an attack as violent as a storm. Facing the Clear Sky Hammer, which shone with dark red and gold demonic patterns, he dared not be careless. He raised both hands at the same time, and his armor shone brightly, fully mobilizing the compressed energy within the armor to meet Tang San's attack.

As it turned out, the power of the Ring Explosion was absolutely terrifying. With Ning Rongrong's enhancement, Tang San's abilities in all aspects doubled. His soul power was equivalent to increasing from level 96 to level 97, but that wasn't all. His strength, attack power, speed, and attack attributes all increased accordingly, bringing his original strength close to that of a level 98 peak Douluo. And when he used the ultimate technique of the Great Sumeru Hammer, Ring Explosion, the power he unleashed immediately reached the peak attack intensity of a level 99 Peerless Douluo. Moreover, the Clear Sky Hammer in his hand was also subjected to gravity control, and the increased weight, while not quite comparable to the Sea God Trident under gravity control, was almost the same.

boom--

To the astonishment of Xiaobai and her Demon Soul Great White Shark clan, as well as the Shrek Six Monsters, the million-year-old soul beast, the seemingly invincible Deep Sea Demon Whale King, was actually smashed down from mid-air by Tang San's hammer. With a splash, it crashed into the sea, creating a massive wave hundreds of meters high.

Having landed a successful blow, Tang San didn't stop. With Ning Rongrong's continued amplification, his eyes became incredibly sharp. Body and hammer became one, and the power of the Great Sumeru Hammer erupted completely at this moment. His first spirit ring exploded, and the spirit ring belonging to the Titan Giant Ape injected him with even greater energy. At the same time, he swung his left leg out, and a red light like a battle axe descended from the sky, forcefully splitting the exploded waves and even tearing a huge trench a hundred meters deep into the entire sea surface. Revealing the Deep Sea Demon Whale King's just stabilized figure, Tang San's second hammer had already descended from the sky, carrying an unstoppable momentum and terrifying explosive force, smashing down on its head.

Now that the attack had begun, Tang San had no intention of stopping; he would not give up until his opponent was completely destroyed.

The Deep Sea Demon Whale King was also greatly alarmed. When Tang San used the Sea God's Light earlier, he was confident; Tang San clearly hadn't yet inherited the true power of the Sea God. He was certain he wouldn't lose against such an opponent. However, the moment he clashed with the Clear Sky Hammer, even with his immense power and energy, he was smashed into the sea. The violent and ferocious energy, the domineering aura, and the sharp, tangible killing intent all told him that this opponent was not so easy to contend with. It might even bring him a fatal crisis.

Having lived in the ocean for millions of years, the Deep Sea Demon Whale King's experience was undoubtedly invaluable. Seeing that the ocean could no longer protect him, and sensing the even more formidable power and frenzied energy emanating from Tang San's great hammer, he made a strange move.

He cupped his hands to his ears, facing Tang San who was descending from the sky, and suddenly opened his mouth, letting out a loud, long roar, accompanied by a streak of white smoke.

"Tang San, be careful! That's the aura of the Deep Sea Demon Whale King!" Xiao Bai shouted a warning as soon as she saw the white aura.

Tang San definitely heard her voice, but his actions didn't change at all. The concept of the Great Sumeru Hammer simply didn't include the word "dodge." Only by knowingly doing the impossible could one unleash their full potential. Therefore, Tang San still bravely charged forward.

The voice emanating from the Deep Sea Demon Whale King was initially hoarse, but soon, accompanied by the spray of white air, his voice gradually transformed into a roar like a dragon's cry. The dark clouds in the sky surged wildly, seemingly echoing his long howl, and the white alchemical energy condensed into a ball in the air, which met Tang San's Clear Sky Hammer head-on.

boom--

White mist scattered, and even the dark clouds in the sky were blown away by the shockwave from this attack, revealing the sun's brilliance. The pill energy spewed from the Deep Sea Demon Whale King's mouth was forcefully dispersed by Tang San, and the Deep Sea Demon Whale King's body also shook violently, a trace of bloodlust flashing in its eyes, clearly indicating that it had been affected.

Tang San was not faring well either. His attack could not continue. Although the white energy was scattered by his attack, he himself was thrown into the air by a huge rebound force. The Clear Sky Hammer emitted a series of buzzing sounds, and the energy brought by the explosion of the first spirit ring was exhausted.

Tang San had more than one plan to deal with the Deep Sea Demon Whale King. Ideally, he would devour the whale king with the Eight Spider Lances, killing it and ensuring his own soul power would break through to a higher level. If the Deep Sea Demon Whale King transformed into human form, he would swiftly seize the opportunity while the whale king was unaware of his strength, using the ultimate technique of the Great Sumeru Hammer—nine strikes in succession—to utterly destroy it. Judging from the current situation, Tang San's second plan had clearly been thwarted again.

Of course, he didn't come away empty-handed; the Deep Sea Demon Whale King was already injured.

An angry roar erupted from the Deep Sea Demon Whale King. He slammed his hand down on the seawater, propelling himself like a cannonball towards Tang San. Even while still in mid-air, a massive purple light condensed around him, forming a gigantic sphere. Simultaneously, a colossal phantom of the Deep Sea Demon Whale appeared behind him. He was now truly enraged; this attack was no longer a mere test.

The purple orb that the Deep Sea Demon Whale King's body had transformed into instantly detached from its main body, turning into two enormous purple warhammers, no less large than the Clear Sky Hammer in Tang San's hands. Its entire energy was completely contained, and it flew towards Tang San. It looked as if it intended to engage Tang San in hand-to-hand combat.

Never underestimate close-quarters combat. Close-range attacks with fully contained energy are how strong fighters maximize their offensive power. If two opponents are evenly matched, and one chooses this dangerous attack method, the other has no other option. This is because if you use energy attacks, the opponent's contained energy can be easily broken through, making it difficult to injure them.

Tang San understood this, of course. You want to fight me at close range? Fine, then I'll grant your wish.

Another firm golden fly was swallowed, and Tang San met the Deep Sea Demon Whale King head-on without dodging. With a hammer in his left hand and a trident in his right, just as the two were about to collide, Tang San's body flashed like an illusion. The Deep Sea Demon Whale King only felt a blur before his eyes, and Tang San had already arrived at his side. The Sea God Trident in his hand pointed forward, and the cold, dark halberd was already at his waist.

However, the Deep Sea Demon Whale King's choice surprised Tang San. He didn't dodge or evade, allowing Tang San's Sea God Trident to pierce his waist, while instead swinging his two deep purple octagonal plum blossom hammers down on Tang San's head. If that blow had landed, Tang San's soul would likely have shattered. The Deep Sea Demon Whale King's hammers contained immense power.

Tang San, being incredibly clever, instantly understood the Deep Sea Demon Whale King's plan: this guy was trying to trade injury for a life! With his energy-condensed armor protecting him, Tang San knew his halberd strike wouldn't kill him, but if those two hammer blows landed, Tang San would be finished. What a clever scheme!

Tang San was naturally unwilling to make such an exchange. Helpless, he retreated rapidly in mid-air, using the Ghost Shadow Step to dodge the attack of the Deep Sea Demon Whale King.

The Deep Sea Demon Whale King, not one to back down, instantly followed up, swinging his twin hammers in the air. Taking advantage of the previous offensive, he immediately suppressed Tang San and put him at a disadvantage. Although his pair of eight-sided plum blossom hammers had no particular technique, they were powerful and incredibly fast. With his own enormous energy as a backing, he actually forced Tang San to retreat step by step.

Tang San was helpless. The Deep Sea Demon Whale King was too cunning. He fully utilized the advantage of his armor, refusing to dodge Tang San's attacks and launching a relentless assault. As a result, Tang San, whose overall energy was already inferior, was immediately suppressed and placed at a disadvantage. For a time, he could only retreat to evade. Just like when he had previously suppressed the Deep Sea Demon Whale King with the Great Sumeru Hammer, he was now in a dangerous situation. It's important to understand that the longer one is suppressed, the stronger the opponent's momentum and the stronger their accumulated sustained attack energy become, making it increasingly difficult to turn the tide. Against an opponent of the Deep Sea Demon Whale King's caliber, hoping for a mistake was undoubtedly a pipe dream.

Ma Hongjun watched anxiously from a distance, but he knew that his strength was far inferior to the two who were fighting, and that even if he rushed in, it would be of no use.

Even under such a disadvantageous situation, Tang San's expression remained calm. He simply kept retreating and dodging. No matter how fast the Deep Sea Demon Whale King was, it was not easy for it to attack Tang San, who had Ning Rongrong's speed boost and the Ghost Shadow Tracking technique.

A ferocious smile had already appeared on the lips of the Deep Sea Demon Whale King. He couldn't do anything about Tang San's dodges, but each swing of his hammer was not so simple. Invisible energy was weaving a large net. As long as he swung a few more times and made the net complete, it would not be so easy for Tang San to dodge.

However, just as the Deep Sea Demon Whale King thought he had succeeded and was about to destroy Tang San, Tang San's body suddenly disappeared without warning.

Huh? The Deep Sea Demon Whale King was stunned for a moment. It disappeared? How could that be? He instantly unleashed his full mental power. Because of the close distance and the fact that he had concentrated his mental power within a small area, he found Tang San almost instantly. However, his attack had to be delayed for a moment.

The Deep Sea Demon Whale King's net was already perfectly woven, but how could Tang San not know? His mental energy was constantly scrutinizing every change in his surroundings. With the exquisite skill of his Ghost Shadow Stalking, he had a chance to escape the Deep Sea Demon Whale King's attack range the moment it launched its first attack. The reason he didn't do so was precisely to allow the Deep Sea Demon Whale King, who thought it had succeeded, to greatly deplete its own energy.

With the help of the Vast Ocean Protector, Tang San instantly became invisible. Since he did not launch any attacks, the Deep Sea Demon Whale King naturally could not see him. If he created some distance, even if he used his mental power, the Deep Sea Demon Whale King would not be able to find Tang San's whereabouts.

For Tang San, a moment is often eternity. The battlefield situation changed in that instant. The Clear Sky Hammer was retrieved, the Eight Spider Lances were withdrawn, and Tang San, like a meteorite, descended from the sky propelled by the Trident of the Sea God. He emerged from the last gap in the vast net woven by the Deep Sea Demon Whale King. Simultaneously, his Blue Silver Emperor Martial Soul was released; a long Blue Silver Emperor beam, like blue-gold lightning, flew diagonally downwards, where Ma Hongjun, having received Tang San's notification, was already waiting.

Just before the Deep Sea Demon Whale King arrived, Tang San, using the pull of the Blue Silver Emperor, accelerated instantly as if defying the laws of gravity, and returned to Ma Hongjun's side in the blink of an eye.

The opportunity that had been painstakingly created was gone just like that, and it would be extremely unpleasant for anyone. The Deep Sea Demon Whale King was no exception. He clearly felt that his strength was superior to Tang San's, but he was completely helpless against Tang San. This feeling was absolutely painful.

A murderous aura flashed in the eyes of the Deep Sea Demon Whale King and disappeared in mid-air. He suddenly spun around, and the purple octagonal plum blossom hammer in his left hand flew out, chasing after Tang San. At the same time, his right hammer also flew out, but it was not pointed at Tang San, but locked onto Ning Rongrong on Xiao Bai's back.

He had long realized that Ning Rongrong was a crucial figure who enabled Tang San to continue to contend with him. If he could kill Ning Rongrong, killing Tang San would undoubtedly be much easier.

How could he not know that the Great White Shark and the Shrek Six Monsters had entered his waters? He seized this opportunity and, in a fit of rage, launched a fierce attack.

Facing the massive hammer hurled by the Deep Sea Demon Whale King, Tang San gripped the Trident of the Sea God with both hands. With a swift, sweeping motion and a deft flick, he unleashed the Unpredictable Storm, lifting the purple hammer into the air and severing its connection to the Deep Sea Demon Whale King. This was the power of the Unpredictable Storm. "I've severed your control; how can your powerful skills be effective then?"

However, this wasn't all Tang San did. At Tang San's signal, Ma Hongjun placed both hands on his back simultaneously, and intense phoenix flames surged wildly into the Eight Spider Lances. Under Tang San's control, the Eight Spider Lances didn't convert this energy; instead, they quickly condensed it within their spearheads. With his god-level abilities, he temporarily sealed this portion of the phoenix flames' power. And as he unleashed the phoenix flames, Ma Hongjun's last spirit ring, his eighth spirit ring, lit up.

After a swift output, Ma Hongjun's face turned somewhat pale. He ate two large sausages before transforming back into his seven-headed fire phoenix form and flying far away. His mission was complete.

Tang San's Eight Spider Lances couldn't possibly store such a violent phoenix flame for long. When he had Ma Hongjun infuse the phoenix flame into himself, he had already decided that it was time for him to launch a full-scale attack.

Because the Deep Sea Demon Whale King was attacking in two different directions simultaneously, his movements were inevitably slowed down, so he was unable to stop Ma Hongjun from transferring the Phoenix Flame energy to Tang San. What surprised him even more was that Ning Rongrong, whom he thought would surely perish under his hammer blow, was completely unaffected by his attack.

Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing had been waiting for this attack for a long time. Tang San had long anticipated that the Deep Sea Demon Whale King might attack them. However, because of Tang San's battle with him, the Deep Sea Demon Whale King would not be able to use overly complex attack methods, such as a charged-up, wide-range attack. Therefore, the protection of Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing was sufficient.

The colossal Netherworld White Tiger spread its wings and appeared in mid-air, colliding with the purple hammer. The massive energy surge slammed the Netherworld White Tiger onto the sea surface. However, the Deep Sea Demon Whale King's attack was destined to fail. The energy released in an instant by the Martial Soul Fusion Skill unleashed by two Soul Douluo-level powerhouses was considerable. Moreover, to ensure they could block the attack, they each consumed a sturdy golden fly, amplifying the Netherworld White Tiger's attack to a level comparable to a peak Douluo. How could the distracted Deep Sea Demon Whale King possibly succeed?

"Your opponent is me." Tang San's icy voice rang in the Deep Sea Demon Whale King's ears. He launched a series of powerful attacks, and even the Deep Sea Demon Whale King, with its immense strength, was struggling to replenish its energy and had to catch its breath. Just then, Tang San returned, the Clear Sky Hammer reappearing in his left hand. What caused the Deep Sea Demon Whale King's pupils to contract sharply was that this time, Tang San's remaining six spirit rings exploded simultaneously. An immense, dark crimson-gold light completely condensed within the Clear Sky Hammer, and from behind Tang San, a dark red figure vaguely emerged. This figure was different from the Sea God Tang San had previously unleashed.

The Sea God was tall and imposing, while this figure appeared somewhat slender, yet even taller, its icy aura entirely condensed from tangible killing intent. Tang San attributed this phenomenon to a mutated form of the Killing God Domain after it was infused with an astronomical amount of energy. The energy released from the explosion of the six spirit rings was simply too immense, filling every corner of the Clear Sky Hammer and naturally permeating the Killing God Domain as well. The formation of this phenomenon was precisely the release of light within the Killing God Domain.

Using the Great Sumeru Hammer, Tang San simultaneously detonated six Clear Sky Hammer spirit rings, including three 100,000-year spirit rings. Even when facing Qian Renxue, Tang San hadn't done this. This demonstrates the sheer power of his attack. His resolute action, leaving himself no way out, startled the Deep Sea Demon Whale King. Especially the faint, dark red phantom that appeared behind Tang San; though extremely faint, it sent shivers down the Deep Sea Demon Whale King's spine.

The Trident of Poseidon was held behind him by the Eight Spider Lances. Tang San had switched to wielding the hammer with both hands. The explosive energy condensed from the six spirit rings within the Clear Sky Hammer was truly terrifying.

The Deep Sea Demon Whale King didn't dare to step forward and was even slowly retreating. He already had the idea of ​​escaping. The young man in front of him, who looked not very old, was too crazy. With such terrifying energy, wasn't he afraid that he would explode and die if he couldn't control it?

Not only was the Deep Sea Demon Whale King astonished, but Tang San's companions also stared at him in shock. After simultaneously detonating the six Clear Sky Hammer spirit rings, Tang San, shrouded in a dark red phantom behind him, appeared like a demon god descending to earth. Even his hair and eyes had turned dark red. The sky was once again shrouded in dark clouds, but this time, the clouds did not originate from the Deep Sea Demon Whale King's power; they were entirely blood-red. The seawater below also turned red. The power Tang San had gathered at this moment had altered the surrounding environment—a level only a god could achieve!

If it weren't for the god-level Eight Spider Lances, the Great Sumeru Hammer technique, his demigod-level physique, and the Crystal Caterpillar Intestines as backup, Tang San would never have dared to attempt such a feat. Even if Qian Renxue were here, her expression would turn grim upon encountering such a full-force attack from Tang San.

Ning Rongrong's expression also changed, because she suddenly realized that her Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda could no longer amplify Tang San's power. All the amplification was reflected back, and the light emitted by the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda couldn't penetrate beyond that blood-red area. This was the first time she had encountered such a situation in her cultivation since childhood. There was only one possibility to explain the current situation: god-level powerhouses could not be amplified by human support-type Soul Masters. At this moment, Tang San had definitely reached the god-level.
