Douluo Continent: Lin Dong transmigrates into Huo Yuhao

Chapter 176 With my wisdom, how could I possibly be outsmarted by you?

Lin Dong glanced coldly at Tang San, ignoring his exasperation, and the black energy around him flowed even faster.

He thought to himself: The Desolate Demon Eye was blocked? It seems that his current strength is not enough to break the rules of this plane.

That's enough. The commotion just now was loud enough; others should have noticed what he did. Next, he'll hide in the undead demiplane.

As Lin Dong's thoughts reached this point, half of the five people's bodies had gradually disappeared. Tang San realized Lin Dong's purpose, and anger surged wildly in his eyes.

"Kid, you forced my hand. I didn't use my full strength just now because I was worried about destroying the location. Now, you won't have another chance!"

The Trident of Poseidon appeared in his hand, and he looked at Lin Dong and the other four, speaking in an icy tone:

"Boy, you've already earned enough to be proud of yourself for forcing me to use the Trident of Poseidon. However, let's stop this technique of hiding in other dimensions for now."

The moment the voice fell, a powerful golden light burst forth from the Trident of Poseidon, and an invisible restraint instantly enveloped Lin Dong and the other two.

"This is bad, Lin Dong! His rank is higher than mine, and I'm just a remnant soul in the undead demiplane. I'm afraid I can't enter!"

Hearing Elder Yi's urgent cry from within his spiritual sea, Lin Dong looked at the black energy on his body suppressed by the golden light, a hint of solemnity flashing in his eyes.

Just as Lin Dong was quickly considering his next move, Tang San spoke with a sinister look in his eyes:

"Boy, now that I, the God-King, have unleashed the Trident of the Sea God, you can put away your useless ideas."

The Snow Empress and the auspicious beast had tears welling up in their eyes as they watched Lin Dong's body return to its normal size, his skin covered in shocking cracks. Their eyes were filled with heartache.

Through mental detection, they learned that Lin Dong had not lost his mind due to impulsiveness from the beginning, but was trying to find a way to help them escape their predicament.

Di Tian looked at Lin Dong with deep admiration. If an ordinary person were to be so aggressive, they would probably have lost their mind and rushed to their death with red eyes.

But Lin Dong did not lose his mind. Instead, he took advantage of the Sea God's underestimation of him and, under such a disadvantageous situation, he made a good plan to outmaneuver him.

The sea god's flushed face was enough to show just how embarrassed and angry Lin Dong's actions had made him.

Looking at Lin Dong's face, which was flashing with a cold light, Di Tian couldn't help but sigh in his heart:

If someone offends someone with such a terrifying nature, they'll likely suffer sleepless nights if they aren't completely eliminated.

Gu Yuena looked at Lin Dong's slightly bloodshot face, a flicker of emotion appearing in her beautiful eyes, and she thought to herself:

This human is truly fascinating. The sea god humiliated him so much, yet he managed to swallow his anger. Such forbearance and composure are simply beyond the reach of ordinary people.

She asked herself if she were in Lin Dong's shoes, she would never have done better than him. At least breaking that golden barrier would have been enough to exhaust her.

Not to mention that even with extra strength, they were still able to devise a plan to rescue the three of them while unleashing two powerful attacks in succession.

This was completely unlike the mentality of a boy his age; he showed no youthful arrogance whatsoever, and every step he took was aimed at achieving his goal.

This is simply unbelievable. To play tricks on the gods is something she never even dared to imagine, yet the young man before her has done it so well!

Tang San noticed Lin Dong's fierce, wolf-like eyes, and a dark killing intent flashed in his own. With a flick of his Sea God Trident, he launched a direct attack on Lin Dong.

The fluctuations contained in that terrifying golden divine power would likely result in death or serious injury even for Di Tian if he were to receive it!

Gu Yuena and the other woman glanced at Lin Dong, a determined look flashing in their eyes. They already owed Lin Dong a favor, and now they felt even more obligated to help him.

Facing the attack of the trident of Poseidon, the two dared not be careless in the slightest. They both revealed their true forms, two dragons, one white and one black, and roared angrily towards the sky.

The two giant dragons emitted an extremely dazzling light as they rushed towards the divine power.

Faced with the absolute suppression of divine power, Lin Dong had the Ancestral Symbol and a way to break it, but they could only rely on their physical bodies to withstand it.

The next second, the two were sent flying backward, crashing heavily into the valley. They coughed up blood, their true forms revealed, and fell to the ground.

Tang San coldly snorted, his face icy: "Overestimating yourselves. What kind of bewitching potion did this kid give you that made you disobey my will?"

He shook his head with a hint of pity and confusion, then gave Lin Dong an incongruous smile:

"Boy, hand over the method to control those runes, as well as those two martial arts techniques, and I will spare your life."

"You piece of trash have no right to touch the Ancestral Symbol, aren't you afraid of choking on it?"

Lin Dong's face was icy cold, and his deep voice slowly came from his mouth. Tang San's behavior had completely enraged him. Looking at him, he said in a low voice:

"I'm giving you one last chance. Heal their wounds now, then leave, and you can still live peacefully as the God-King."

Otherwise, even if you kill them all today, I will still escape, and when we meet again, you will be dead.

His nonchalant tone suggested he had absolute certainty.

Tang San was taken aback, staring at Lin Dong, a cold glint flashing in his eyes, and said in an icy tone:

"If you really escape today, how can I, as a god, have the face to remain in the divine realm?"

"Boy, if you don't hand over what I'm telling you, your fate won't be much better than those two evil soul beasts."

An extremely powerful pressure emanated from Tang San, who condensed a golden palm print towards Lin Dong, carrying a shockwave strong enough to shatter space.

Lin Dong looked at the huge palm print flying towards him, and his expression became much more solemn. The current situation was indeed comparable to that of the Yuan Sect.

Although his opponent was only at the Sixth Nirvana Realm, he himself was currently only at the Great Perfection of the Yuan Dan Realm.

At least in Yuanmen, he had the help of Xiao Diao, Xiao Yan, Senior Qingzhi, and Huanhuan, but here, he could only rely on his own strength.

Although Di Tian and his group were not weak, the suppression of the rules of this plane made it almost impossible for them to escape the trap.

We can't enter the undead demiplane right now; the only hope is probably...

"Lin Dong! If there is really no other way, I can burn myself and forcibly send you into the undead demiplane."

Hehe, I, an old man, have survived until now with a wisp of my remnant soul. Through your body, I have seen many things I had never seen before, given your personality, little one.

They will definitely do everything in their power to revive me, so what do I have to worry about? If it really doesn't work out, there's no need to force it. I'm very happy to have met you."

Electrolux's gentle and kind voice echoed in the sea of ​​consciousness, pausing briefly before continuing:

"Big worm, little scorpion, lend me your strength too!"

"Old Master Yi, please do whatever you want. Even if it costs us our lives, you don't need to worry about it."

Tianmeng and the other person spoke with firmness, as if they had already been prepared for this.

After all, they were not only saving Lin Dong, Xue Di, Rui Shou, Di Tian, ​​and the Lord of Soul Beasts; each of them was crucial to all the Soul Beasts.

Without them, soul beasts would likely have no power to resist the slaughter by humans.

Whether for personal gain or for the sake of the entire soul beast race, they have an inescapable responsibility.

Hearing their words, which sounded like they were giving their final instructions, Lin Dong was momentarily at a loss for words.

Even if they listen to them and successfully enter the undead demiplane, what if the god is unwilling to leave if they hide in that demiplane?

Given that god's shamelessness, going outside would still mean certain death. Moreover, with Elder Yi burning himself, could he truly resurrect him in the future?

"Elder Yi, Tianmeng, don't be impulsive. Let me think of another way."

Lin Dong's heart skipped a beat, as if he had thought of a solution, and he rejected the ideas of Electrolux and Tianmeng Bingdi.

Seeing the palm print that was about to fly towards him, Lin Dong stared intently at the golden palm print until it reached its maximum speed.

Lin Dong unleashed a burst of power from his palm, and a fiery red light shot out from his hand, crashing straight into the golden palm print!

Tang San was instantly terrified, his face turning deathly pale, and he cursed angrily:

"Damn it! That bastard! He actually wants to use these mysterious runes to summon that phantom to fight me!"

Seeing the golden palm print about to collide with the Ancestral Symbol, Tang San was instantly frightened and retreated rapidly, gripping the Divine Realm Central Hub tightly in his hand, ready to be teleported back to the Divine Realm at any time.

Under the watchful eyes of countless people, the fiery red runes and the golden palm print collided violently. Beads of sweat appeared on Tang San's forehead, and sweat dripped from his palms due to the intense tension.

Gazing at the thick smoke generated by the collision, Tang San felt as if facing a formidable enemy. He gripped the Trident of the Sea God tightly and nervously swallowed.

However, before the smoke could dissipate, Lin Dong suddenly retreated, not even glancing at the Ancestral Symbol, trying to create distance.

For some reason, he couldn't sense the aura of the true body. A hint of joy flashed in Tang San's eyes, and his previous tension vanished. He couldn't help but burst into laughter:

"Hahaha, truly heaven is on my side! It seems the phantom on this mysterious rune has indeed failed! Kid, stop struggling in vain, where do you think you can run to!"

With a thought, Lin Dong summoned the Flame Ancestral Symbol, which transformed into a stream of light and flew towards him, forming a ring that enveloped him. A hint of seriousness flashed in his eyes as he muttered a curse under his breath.

"What kind of useless palm print is this? It can't even trigger the seal of the ancestral symbol. This is really going to be difficult..."

Tang San secretly rejoiced, thankful that he had held back his strength and only used an attack equivalent to that of a Limit Douluo, otherwise he would have really been outmaneuvered by this kid!

A flash of anger crossed his eyes, and he couldn't help but glare at Lin Dong and shout:

"Damn brat! How dare you scheme against this God-King in such a shameless way!"

Because the phantom's strength was too terrifying, Tang San dared not make any rash moves, and the valley fell into an eerie silence.

After a moment of silence, Tang San's eyes lit up, as if he had thought of something, and a hint of smugness flashed in his eyes:

"Boy, if you don't get out of that circle of runes, I can't guarantee the lives of these soul beasts outside."

Upon hearing his words, the Snow Empress and the auspicious beast turned ashen with anger and couldn't help but shout angrily:

"You!...You shameless! You actually used us to threaten him! You are not worthy of a divine position!"

Tang San blushed and stubbornly replied, "Whether I am qualified to hold this divine position is not something you can decide."

Then, with a gloomy expression, he looked at Lin Dong, his tone carrying a hint of smugness:

"Boy, aren't you coming out yet? If you're any later, this god won't be so polite!"

"You damned bastard!" Lin Dong never expected him to do such a thing, and his deep voice roared out.

For a moment, the auspicious beast and the Snow Empress felt a sense of despair. This god was so shameless; there was truly nothing they could do…

As an eerie silence fell, a furious shout suddenly came from the sky:

"Tang San, what are you doing!"

The newcomer wore a purple cloak that covered his head, and only two red lights could be vaguely seen flickering within the cloak, but his face was not clearly visible.

Within the cloak, an endless, terrifying aura seemed to emanate. Beneath the cloak stood a man who appeared to be in his thirties, with short, dark red hair that stood upright like steel needles. His eyes flashed with red light, and he was extremely handsome. He possessed a nine-ringed purplish-black halo.

Seeing the suddenly appearing God of Destruction, Tang San spoke with an unfriendly expression:

"Do I need to ask your permission to do anything? Destruction, if you know what's good for you, you'd better leave now."

I'm currently reading the error-free version! This is the first time I've published this novel.

The God of Destruction, hidden beneath the cloak, glanced at him and sneered:

"You dare to interfere in the affairs of the lower realms without authorization, and you still dare to speak to me so confidently? I think this central hub of the divine realm is not something someone like you should be in charge of. Now come back to the divine realm with me and hand over the central hub!"

As he spoke, a flash of anger appeared in the God of Destruction's eyes, and a huge bolt of purplish-black lightning descended from the sky, striking directly at Tang San!

Tang San's expression changed, and he was about to activate his divine power to resist when a fiery red light beat him to the purple lightning.

Tang San's expression changed instantly. Looking at Lin Dong behind him, the fiery red halo around him had disappeared, and the Flame Ancestral Symbol was crashing straight into the lightning.

Tang San's face instantly paled in horror, and he roared at the God of Destruction with eyes wide with fury:

"Destruction! If you fucking want to die, don't drag me down with you!"

As he spoke, Tang San gripped the Trident of the Sea God and charged directly at Lin Dong. Clearly, he was prepared for the appearance of the phantom and knew that hiding next to Lin Dong was the safest option.

Moreover, Lin Dong is not protected by the Flame Ancestral Symbol now, so it would be easy for me to control him.

However, the next second, Lin Dong's figure mysteriously disappeared from the spot and appeared dozens of meters away next to Xue Di and the others.

Tang San didn't have time to think. He tightly gripped the Divine Realm Central Hub and was about to run away, but after the fiery red ring collided with the destructive lightning, it transformed back into its original mysterious rune form.

Light waves flowed across the talisman, as if an invisible force was protecting it. Lin Dong was taken aback when he saw this.

Why are these people so restrained in their actions? Do they think this is just children playing house?

Although he felt extremely helpless, Lin Dong didn't have time to think much. The black aura instantly enveloped the group, and their figures were about to disappear from the spot.

Seeing this, Tang San didn't have time to say anything more to Destruction. He immediately activated his divine power to try to stop the group, but Lin Dong's movements were too fast. Gu Yuena, Di Tian, ​​and Xue Di had already disappeared.

Tang San gritted his teeth and threw the Trident of the Sea God directly at Lin Dong. Just as it was about to pierce Lin Dong's body, the auspicious beast in front of Lin Dong suddenly turned around and fiercely swung the Golden Dragon Spear, colliding with the Trident of the Sea God.

Although Lin Dong's figure disappeared from the spot, due to the interference of divine power, the black aura on the auspicious beast gradually disappeared, leaving only her alone in the spot.

Seeing this, Tang San's eyes turned extremely sinister. The mythical beast, with a stubborn expression, suppressed its inner fear and stared coldly at Tang San. It seemed to have already made its preparations.

Tang San's forehead veins bulged, but before he could react, the God of Destruction turned his gaze to the Flame Ancestral Symbol, which had revealed its true form.

Sensing the terrifying power contained within, Destruction's eyes flickered, and he asked with a grim expression:

"Tang San, you should explain what's going on here, right? What do you mean by 'I'm courting death, don't drag you down with me'? It must be related to these runes, right?"

Tang San, already furious, glared at Destruction and roared, panting heavily:

"If you had used any more force, we would all be dead here!"

"Hmph! This is no reason for you to interfere in matters of the lower realm at will. The commotion you've caused in the lower realm is a complete disregard for the rules of the divine realm! Is this thing worth all this trouble?"

Besides, my attack just now was merely a test, a strike from a lower realm Limit Douluo, just a warning to you.

Tang San snorted coldly after hearing this, and seeing the destructive glint in the eyes of the man, he suddenly spoke up to warn him:

"You'd better not get your hands on that rune if you don't want to die."

"What did you say? Someone like you who goes back on their word was only being given face by people from the lower realms. Do you really think I, a god, would believe your nonsense?"

Looking at the devastated and gloomy face, Tang San snorted coldly:

"I'm not joking with you. If you're looking to die, no one can stop you!"

"Hmph, I think you've been bewitched by this treasure and want to possess it. Don't forget your place. As a dignified god, how dare you compete with mortals for things?"

Destruction sneered, then spoke sarcastically:

"Even if this thing looks extremely extraordinary, don't you think it's a bit too embarrassing for someone of your status?"

Tang San looked at Destruction with the eyes of someone looking at an idiot, his tone carrying a hint of contempt and disdain:

"What do you know? If I can get my hands on these runes, I, the God-King, can ensure the safety of the God Realm. Moreover, there isn't just one, but a full eight!"

Hearing this, Destruction seemed to realize the seriousness of the problem and asked with some doubt:

"Really? Can I still believe you?"

Seeing his expression, Tang San seemed to see a glimmer of hope; a golden light flashed in his eyes, and he revealed a smile.

"I swear by the divine positions of the Sea God and the Asura God, if I utter even the slightest lie, I will immediately suffer divine punishment!"

Seeing that he had already said it, Destruction couldn't say anything more and tentatively asked Tang San, "So what do you mean?"

"Let's join forces and find that kid. Such a powerful alien evil creature should be put to use to protect the divine realm and the lower realm."

Tang San smiled at him with an air of righteousness, paused, and added:

"For the greater good, the sacrifice of some is necessary. Don't you think that's devastation?"

While Destruction scoffed at his high-sounding reason, he didn't expose him on the spot. Instead, he frowned and asked:

"Isn't this going a bit too far?"

Tang San stood with his hands behind his back, adopting a calm and composed posture, and replied indifferently:

"Destruction? When did such womanly compassion appear in you? We both bear the responsibility of protecting all living beings. Isn't it only natural to sacrifice the individual for the greater good?"

Seeing that the God of Destruction was still hesitant, Tang San couldn't resist adding fuel to the fire by offering him bribes:

"If you agree to give me this rune, the central hub of the divine realm will be jointly guarded by the two of us."

Upon hearing this, a glint of excitement flashed in Destruction's eyes, and he nodded without hesitation:

"Okay! I'll trust you one more time!"

Seeing his delight at Tang San's agreement, he secretly muttered to himself:

Once I master this mysterious talisman, with my power, what right does Destruction have to talk about the central hub of the divine realm in front of me!

Lin Dong used his mental probe to observe the appropriate opportunity in the undead demiplane. His original plan was:

This mysterious person who suddenly appeared—I triggered the illusory image of the Ancestral Symbol, and then Lin Dong went out to take advantage of the chaos to bring the auspicious beast back.

But judging from the current situation, this mysterious person who suddenly appeared does not seem to be completely opposed to the sea god, and may even have reached a cooperation.

Looking at Tang San's smug expression outside, Lin Dong uttered cold, murderous words:

"Using my runes as a bargaining chip? This sea god is truly domineering. If he leaves smoothly today, he can forget about being the Bird God King anymore..."

Xue Di and the others felt a chill run down their spines as they looked at Lin Dong, who exuded a murderous aura. Their faces showed concern as they asked:

"Lin Dong, what do we do next?"

Lin Dong shook his head with a serious expression: "I'm not sure yet, let's observe for a while longer."

Tang San and his companion outside seemed to have finalized the cooperation agreement, and a cold voice slowly rang out:

"Kid, I know you can hear me. If you don't want this soul beast to die, then bring the stuff out right now."

Upon hearing this, the auspicious beast stubbornly puffed out its chest, gripped the golden dragon spear tightly in its hand, and a resolute look flashed in its eyes, as if it had made up its mind.

A golden light, shaped like a flame, suddenly emanated from her body, causing Gu Yuena, whose aura was already weakening within the undead demiplane, to scream in terror:

"Don't take the auspicious beast! You'll die!"

Di Tian's expression was equally grim as he looked at the golden flames about to ignite on the auspicious beast, his eyes filled with shock and grief.

"I'm sorry, my lord. I know this is not good for everyone in the Star Dou Great Forest. I also know that I am being selfish."

But he's always been protecting us, and I don't want him to be so tired. Please forgive me this once; I just want him to live.

The auspicious beast resolutely raised its golden dragon spear, and golden flames began to burn on its body.
