In Douluo Continent, Tang San raids my base right from the start.

Chapter 296 If I don't avenge this grudge, I, Tang San, will be unworthy of being a son!

Tang San suffered a backlash, spitting out a mouthful of blood again with a "poof," his body transforming into a streak of light and flying backward at high speed.

"Is that all? Come on, let's try again!" Zhu Wu mocked as he flapped his wings and chased after them.

Then a golden stream of light burst forth from between Tang San's eyebrows, condensing into a golden phantom in the air in front of him.

With a slight wave of his hand, a vast force, accompanied by a gale, swept in.

"Hmm?" Zhu Wu frowned, putting on a convincing act, and quickly slid his hands to the sides.

"Holy Shield!" A golden shield of light instantly enveloped the body.

"Pfft!" The shockwave struck the light shield at that moment, and a vast force immediately assaulted him. With Zhu Wu's current cultivation level, he was naturally not afraid of an attack from a divine thought, but the role he was playing now did not allow it.

He came out this time specifically to teach Tang San a lesson and stop him from hunting soul beasts in the Star Dou Great Forest. "You want to be the Sea God? Go hunt in the sea then."

In addition, there was also the idea of ​​testing whether the sea god would take action.

Now that we have the results, we are not going to pursue the matter any further.

So what if he exposes his identity and goes all out? With the Sea God watching, he still can't kill Tang San.

In the original novel, Qian Renxue is the best example. After becoming a god, she chased after Tang San, but was eventually saved by the Sea God.

He immediately pretended to be knocked back because his body was out of control, and flew backwards.

"Poseidon?" he said defiantly. "Hmph, you can protect him for a while, but you can't protect him forever."

"Don't let me see him in this Star Dou Great Forest again, or I'll beat him up every time I see him!"

The sea god, far away in the realm of gods, frowned immediately. He was naturally displeased that a mere mortal was provoking him like this.

However, the thought that he couldn't see through this person was most likely because he was shielded by the divine sense of a demigod, which might just be something left behind by Long Yingtian.

Long Yingtian had already foreseen that Tang San would return to the continent and come to the Star Dou Great Forest to obtain a spirit ring.

In any case, if this matter were to reach the ears of the evil god, he would probably laugh at him for bullying the weak.

This person bullies the weak, and Tang San can be repelled, but if he were to retaliate and kill him in anger, then he would be seen as the mighty Sea God bullying a mere mortal.

He can't afford to lose face like that!

"Damn it, I can't stay in this realm of gods any longer. I need to finish the transfer of divine positions and get out of here!"

Given Long Yingtian's vengeful nature, if he were to truly inherit the position of the God of Evil, he would undoubtedly suffer a terrible fate. This grudge likely began the moment he placed the divine trial upon Tang San. Those two old bastards, Evil and Asura, didn't they tell him sooner?

"Damn it!" he thought to himself as he controlled his divine sense to retract back to Tang San's brow.

"Cough cough." Although he suffered a backlash and was seriously injured, his mind was still clear. Tang San naturally caught a glimpse of the Sea God's phantom appearing to save him. After landing, he coughed violently a few times and, without the slightest hesitation, turned and fled before the period of weakness came.

Its four wings flapped at their fastest speed ever, and it disappeared into the horizon in the blink of an eye.

"Heh!" Zhu Wu sneered as he sensed Tang San's departure. A flash of light appeared on his body, and he returned to his original form before turning and flying back to the misty area.

After a long time, Tang San, who had been flying at high speed, finally flew out of the Star Dou Great Forest and found a place to hide.

"Ugh!" As soon as he withdrew his external soul bone and dissipated his soul power, a feeling of weakness immediately came over him. He felt that every inch of his muscles was exhausted, and his bones were sore and swollen. His legs went weak and he knelt down on the spot, spitting out a mouthful of blood.

Accompanied by nausea, vomiting, pale complexion, and profuse cold sweat.

"Damn it!" Veins bulged on his forehead, and he gritted his teeth. "If I don't avenge this, I, Tang San, am unworthy of being a son!"

He dared not delay any longer, quickly sitting cross-legged on the spot, enduring the excruciating pain to summon his Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul and unleash its eighth soul skill. The price of the Ring Explosion Technique was enormous; each time the Great Sumeru Hammer was used, he would fall into a period of weakness, and within three days all his soul rings would disappear, leaving only soul power—but only for the Martial Soul that used the Ring Explosion Technique. He, however, possessed twin Martial Souls, a unique advantage.

The inability to use the Clear Sky Hammer martial soul does not mean that he cannot use the Blue Silver Grass martial soul.

Time passed slowly, and as the remaining soul power within him was converted into life force to nourish his body, he could clearly feel his injuries improving. However, this did not mean he could ignore the period of weakness; even after the wounds healed, his body still needed time to recover from its fatigue.

This process wasted three whole days of his time.

After quickly tidying up, he stepped out of the cave, looked up towards the Star Dou Great Forest, gritted his teeth in reluctance, and turned to fly towards Tian Dou City. With his current strength, he was far from being a match for Hu Batian, so going to the Star Dou Great Forest was definitely out of the question.

In his memory, Sunset Forest also contained soul beasts with cultivation levels of over 5 years, so he decided to go there to look for them.

They happened to sense the location of the Heart of the Sea God within the territory of the Heavenly Dou Empire, achieving two goals at once.

"If we can't find a suitable soul beast in Sunset Forest, we'll have to go back to Seagod Island and ask Xiaobai if there are any high-age sea soul beasts nearby. But before that, we need to find the Heart of Seagod on the mainland."

Thinking this, I accelerated my flight.

The other major gathering place for soul beasts, the far north, has a harsh environment and is mostly inhabited by ice-attribute soul beasts, which is obviously not suitable for him to go there.

Flying in a straight line, it only took two days to reach Sunset Forest smoothly.

After a day of searching, the "Vajra Tiger with nearly 70,000 years of cultivation" finally found one that was reasonably satisfactory.

After some twists and turns, the kill was successfully achieved.

An hour later, he successfully absorbed the spirit ring, and his spirit power also advanced to level 87, not far from level 88. Before coming to Sunset Forest, his spirit power was already about to break through to level 87, so absorbing the spirit ring and breaking through was just a natural progression.

After a quick tidying up, he continued his search, but for three days in a row, he was still not satisfied with any of the results.

It wasn't that there weren't any 50,000-year-old spirit beasts, but rather that he hadn't found one suitable for the Clear Sky Hammer—one of good quality and with a cultivation level of 70,000 years. Keep in mind that his Clear Sky Hammer's second and third spirit rings were both over 70,000 years old, and while his fourth spirit ring was less than 70,000 years old, the Vajra Tiger was considered top-tier among power-type spirit beasts, of considerable quality, which was why he could barely accept it.

He would never accept any subsequent spirit rings that fell below this standard.

He needs power, the power of revenge, and every bit of his accumulation must be earned.

"If I can't find a suitable one in two more days, I'll have to wait until I get back to Seagod Island to figure something out. I wonder how my great-grandfather's divine examination is going. If he succeeds in becoming a god, finding a 100,000-year-old soul beast for me should be a piece of cake."

"Hmph! When the time comes, I'll definitely go back to the Star Dou Great Forest and settle the score with that Tiger Overlord!"

Thinking this way, I continued searching, but still found nothing.

Left with no other choice, they had to leave Sunset Forest.

"Since we're close enough to Tiandou City, I'll go check it out first. After all, it's the capital of the empire, a place where nobles gather. Perhaps the Heart of the Sea God has been accidentally hidden by some family." Thinking of this, he suddenly felt a weight on his body and murmured, "I just hope it's not the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School."

With his current strength, it would be extremely difficult for him to break into the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School and snatch food from its jaws!

The following morning, they flew to a location one kilometer from Tiandou City.

"Hmm?" Tang San suddenly felt a heat between his brows, then his pupils contracted, and he subconsciously murmured, "Could it be..."

Without the slightest hesitation, it immediately flapped its wings and accelerated, arriving at the outside of one side of the city wall at top speed. Then, targeting a blind spot in the city defenses' field of vision, it silently flew in.

Then, following the varying strength of the sensation between my eyebrows, I walked forward and soon arrived at the main street outside the imperial city.

"Inside the palace!"

He frowned, turned around, and walked into a side alley.
