“Dad, back then when you killed the Spirit Hall people to save mother, did you do anything wrong? That tragedy was because they coveted mother’s spirit ring. Spirit Hall then took their anger out on you, but the sect not only didn’t come to your aid, instead gutlessly choosing to retreat. Who was right and wrong? I’m a junior, I can’t criticize grandfather’s decision. Only, can our Clear Sky School really escape calamity by blindly withdrawing? I’ve never thought you did anything wrong back then. If those sect elders won’t give us their approval, then I’ll just beat it out of them.”
Always in the past, due to his father’s matters and his own encounter with the Clear Sky School, Tang San had never had any good impression of them. Otherwise he wouldn’t have established the Tang Sect alone. When faced with difficulties, the Clear Sky School not only didn’t protect their own, but on the contrary chose to retreat far away, separating from the spirit master world, leading to the tragedy of the four single attribute clans and the Clear Sky School being stricken from the list of the seven great sects, only able to stand on their lonely mountaintop.
Tang San didn’t have enough strength before, and could only endure. But now he had already become a Title Douluo, and also grasped a divine tool like the Seagod Trident. He’d already endured long enough. Those two spirit bones should belong to his father, and his father should at least be an elder within the sect. What his father had lost, he had to return for him.
Seeing his son radiate aggressiveness, though Tang Hao’s face was calm, the gratitude in his eyes was clear to see.
“You’re becoming more and more like me back then. Only, back then I was just impulsive, while you’ve been clever since you were a child. But, little San, whether me or you, we’re both born of the Clear Sky School, our Clear Sky Hammers are inherited from the sect, no matter when, we absolutely can’t betray the sect. This is the bottom line, understand?”
Tang San watched his father with a burning gaze, his eyes expressing respect,
“Dad, I understand your meaning. I’m not talking about betraying the sect, I know you wouldn’t want to see that. Therefore, I will accompany you to return justly and fairly, and have every person in the sect acknowledge your position. Look, what’s this?”
While speaking, Tang San’s palm brushed the Twenty Four Moonlit Bridges, and in his palm appeared a small golden hammer, a black gem inlaid on either end.
Seeing this hammer, Tang Hao couldn’t keep his eyes from shining, suddenly growing excited, he suddenly grabbed the hammer from Tang San’s hand,
“Little San, hurry up and tell me, where did you get it?”
Tang San said:
“Great grandfather gave it to me. Great grandfather not only gave me this token, but at the same time also the authority that comes with it. I told great grandfather about everything that’s happened in detail, and great grandfather didn’t blame you, even he said you were right. What did you do wrong?”
“Grandfather really didn’t blame me?”
Tang Hao asked in a trembling voice. This kind of iron man’s mood surged to rapidly, clearly showing how important he regarded the sect.
Tang San nodded firmly,
“Dad, great grandfather said it himself.”
Tang Hao tightly held that golden hammer, his eyes suddenly shining with unprecedented light. He roared towards the sky, the intensity making even Tang San take a step back. This roar seemed to contain all the resentment held in Tang Hao’s heart. Tang San saw correctly. Ah Yin was undoubtedly number one in Tang Hao’s heart, but, his loyalty to the sect that had raised him from childhood and given him the name Clear Sky had never waned. The previous sect master was his father, and whether his father had done right or wrong, Tang Hao had never returned to argue it. But at this moment, the strongest of the Clear Sky School, his grandfather had confirmed he didn’t make a mistake. To Tang Hao, this approval was even more important than the return of his strength.
Back then he had become dispirited, but now listening to Tang San, the flames of hope reignited within him. He seemed to again see those glories when he represented the Clear Sky School.
Tang San said:
“Dad, once I’ve helped mom recover her human form, we’ll return to the Clear Sky School. To get everything you deserve.”
Tang Hao returned to his senses, returning that golden little hammer back to Tang San,
“This is the authority your great grandfather gave you, you have to care for it well. Little San, you’re really sure you can restore your mom’s shape? There’s absolutely no danger?”
Tang San said:
“Don’t worry, even if I’m not absolutely sure of success, my methods will be beneficial to mom. Even if I can’t restore mom right now, I can definitely enormously cut down the time required.”
“Little San.”
The whole time listening silently to her husband and son, Ah Yin spoke up.
Illusory light sparkled, her beautiful face filled with motherly tenderness,
“You can help me recover, but, mom has a request. When you help me recover, there absolutely can’t be any harm to you. Otherwise, I’d prefer to continue like this forever. While your father has kept me company here these years, he has told me everything about how you’ve grown up. You are a good sensible child. Did you know, both your father and me feel that we deeply owe you. We brought you into this world, but we’ve never fulfilled our duties as parents. You didn’t even have a happy childhood. Mom is already very sorry. If you let yourself be harmed when helping me, mom would never be able to forgive myself.”
“No. mom, don’t say anything.”
Tang San fell to his knees in front of his mother,
“Yes, when I was small, I was envious when I saw the other children who had mothers. I thirsted for your love. But it’s not your fault you couldn’t be with me and dad! Parents never owe their children, no matter when or how. That you brought me into this world is already the biggest, biggest favor, one I’ll never be able to repay in my life. Without you, there would be no me. My life was given by you. There are no other debts beside that. Mom, don’t worry. Helping you recover won’t harm me. I still have to properly show my filial respect to you both afterwards. And I still have Xiao Wu to take care of. How could I not treasure myself? Our family can finally be happy together. I don’t want to put a time limit on this.”
Listening to Tang San, Ah Yin really want to cry, but she couldn’t produce tears yet. Tang Hao helped Tang San up,
“Don’t talk like that, you’ll make us hurt even more.”
Tang San nodded, raising his head to look at his mother,
“Then I’ll begin now. Mom, you just have to open your mind wide, sense the energy I transmit to you and blend it with all the energy around you.”
While he spoke, blue golden light flashed. Tang San released his Blue Silver Emperor, and at the same time also released his Blue Silver Domain.
The blood red seventh spirit ring flashed. To be precise, this was now the second of Tang San’s currently four spirit rings. The golden blue color spread all over his body, and Tang San entered his spirit avatar state. In that instant, under the effect of the Blue Silver Avatar, the Blue Silver Domain expanded exponentially, quickly spreading out and enveloping his parents and Xiao Wu, enveloping the entire Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well basin, then crossing the mountain walls, spreading out into the Sunset Forest beyond.
On his forehead, the Seagod trident brand flashed, his boundless mental strength completely blending into the Blue Silver Domain, strand after strand of golden blue Blue Silver Emperor issuing from Tang San and quietly twisting around Ah Yin’s leaves. Each of Ah Yin’s broad leaves was tightly wound around by one of Tang San’s Blue Silver Emperor.
Tang San flew up, hovering just above his mother, the strands of Blue Silver Emperor like a bridge connecting the two of them together.
Ah Yin softly cried out:
“Little San, your Blue Silver Domain is already at the peak level?”
Tang San nodded lightly in the air,
“Mom, pay attention to absorbing the energy I send you.”
The Blue Silver Domain suddenly changed, the previous golden blue suddenly turning completely ocean blue. In just this instant, the parts of the Sunset Forest enveloped by the Blue Silver Domain had turned into a blue ocean.
Within the forest, each blue silver grass gently swayed along with a special rhythm, scattering faint traces of gentle golden light that merged into that blue world, and then gathered towards the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well at the heart of the forest. To be precise, it condensed towards the emperor of this blue silver world, Tang San.
Blue Silver Domain, final evolved ability, All River Run Into The Sea, launched.
Along with his strength rising to the Title Douluo level, Tang San’s Blue Silver Domain had also evolved once again. If the spirit avatar was where a domain displayed its true strength, then, the strength of Title Douluo was the essential factor for a domain to reveal its highest level.
Rich blue light gently poured into Ah Yin through where the Blue Silver Emperor connected her with Tang San. After passing Tang San’s gathering and filtering, this energy had already become the purest Blue Silver Emperor energy. Their similar blood let mother and son share energy without any obstruction.
The Blue Silver Domain’s All Rivers Run Into The Sea, effects: anywhere with blue silver grass, the domain can change the vitality of the blue silver grass into any form of energy the Blue Silver Emperor requires, and add it to oneself. As long as there is still blue silver grass, the Blue Silver Emperor’s energy will never wane. This energy can change into vitality, but also spirit power or mental power. This ultimate domain effect can undoubtedly place the Blue Silver Emperor in an invincible position when fighting opponents of equal level in a forest.
And at this moment, Tang San was drawing support from this ability to transform the energy of all the blue silver grass in the forest into Blue Silver Emperor energy, then using himself as intermediary to transfer it to his mother, raising her cultivation.
Such a method could also only be used between mother and son, and also required Tang San to take the leading position, unless Ah Yin’s strength one day surpassed his.
In the Sunset Forest, all the spirit beasts restlessly hid in their nests, the infinite energy waves making them not dare move. With the enormous energy spreading through the entire forest, the lowest level blue silver grass for the first time became the masters of the great forest. Summoned by the Blue Silver Emperor, they released the breath of their life without reservation.
Nourished by that blue light, Ah Yin’s body grew exponentially. Each leaf began to grow as transparent as sapphire, the golden veins on top also becoming increasingly large. She could clearly feel her cultivation grow at an unprecedented rate.
Ah Yin originally had a hundred thousand years of experience with cultivating, and naturally knew what to do with this perfectly suitable energy, and could also do it appropriately. Only, her heart was somewhat restless.
She of course understood the Blue Silver Domain’s All Rivers Run Into The Sea ability, she had possessed it herself back before she decided to take human form. She absolutely didn’t want to see her people consume too much of their vitality in order to resurrect her. But the leader was Tang San, she could only passively accept it, and she was even more unwilling to harm her son’s heart.
Tang San seemed to understand his mother’s heart. What he did next let Ah Yin put her heart at rest.
His right hand moved. That dark Seagod Trident stabbed into the earth fell into Tang San’s palm, the Seagod’s Light once again becoming the bridge between Tang San and this golden trident. Dazzling golden light rose towards the sky, the divine aura representing the Seagod’s strength spreading out along with the Blue Silver Domain. Like a vast ocean restoring life to all living things spread to each corner of the Blue Silver Domain, enveloping the entire Sunset Forest. The vitality of the blue silver grass already withering from releasing too much of their life force was reignited within the Seagod’s power assigned to the Seagod Trident. And Tang San’s Blue Silver Domain had now become completely golden. To be precise, what he used now should be called the Seagod Blue Silver Domain.
A domain like this might not have any true use in battle, but it had enormous benefits to the blue silver grass that absorbed the energy.
The Seagod’s Light alone could swiftly recover Ah Yin’s cultivation, let alone when it was conducted into the Blue Silver Emperor energy like this. This was also Tang San’s trump card for resurrecting his mother. It was because of the existence of the Seagod Trident that he didn’t need to worry about the Blue Silver Domain’s All Rivers Run Into The Sea harming the blue silver grass here. It was also just because of the Seagod’s divine power that he was even more certain of being able to help his mother recover her human form.
Sensing the effect the Seagod’s Light had on all the blue silver grass, Ah Yin was relieved, and put all her heart and all her mind into absorbing the pure energy her son passed to her.
The Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well basin wa originally a place that gathered the spiritual influence of heaven and earth. Ah Yin had been nourished here for five years, and her root as Blue Silver Emperor had already reawakened. The major difference between plant type spirit beasts and animal spirit beasts was vitality. Even forest kings as strong as Da Ming and Er Ming couldn’t compare to the Blue Silver Emperor in vitality. This was also how Ah Yin could leave behind a seed after sacrificing herself, while Xiao Wu, Da Ming and Er Ming had immediately faced death.
Tang San using his own blood to draw out his mother’s roots here back then and an important effect on Ah Yin’s rebirth. Just because he had taken the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass and Infernal Delicate Apricot, his blood had brought Ah Yin the greatest benefits by the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, and she could absorb the spiritual influence of heaven and earth released by the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well without worrying. Even without Tang San’s present help, she could have returned to her previous condition within a hundred years. Now with Tang San drawing in all the blue silver grass energy in the Sunset Forest enormously accelerated her recovery.
In fact, what Tang San did now was equivalent to Tang San pouring the cultivation of all the blue silver grass in the Sunset Forest into his mother’s body. And he didn’t want to kill the chicken for the eggs either. His Blue Silver Domain cooperated with the Seagod’s Light, enormously increasing the cultivation of each blue silver grass in the forest. And what Tang San absorbed from them was just a portion of their cultivation.
The cultivation of a single blue silver grass of course didn’t count as anything, but the cultivation of ten million blue silver grass added together was vast.
Ah Yin grew with a speed distinguishable to the naked eye. Soon, the enormous leaves had grown to encompass every part of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well basin. Tang San also constantly released strand after strand of Blue Silver Emperor to connect with it.
Tang Hao and Xiao Wu watched nervously from the side. They could both sense Ah Yin’s energy swiftly rising, and Tang Hao now also understood why his son could say with certainty that, even if he didn’t succeed in resurrecting Ah Yin, all this would definitely only be beneficial to his mother. He drew this kind of blue silver grass energy into her body, increasing her cultivation, even if Ah Yin couldn’t recover her human form, the recovery time would still be enormously curtailed.
Tang San’s Seagod’s Light held up for a full two hours. After the strength flagged and the blue light vanished, Tang San fell from the sky, sitting crosslegged next to his mother, directly entering cultivation. His mental strength was almost completely exhausted, but not yet overdrawn.
Ah Yin had undergone enormous changes in these two hours. The Blue Silver Emperor main stem had grown by several dozen times, and each leaf spread through the valley. Along with Tang San entering cultivation, her aura also grew silent. Even though the energy she received didn’t require any melding to become hers, she still had to adjust to her new state.
In just a couple of hours, Ah Yin’s cultivation had increased by more than twenty thousand years. The blue silver grass made up for quality with quantity, and Tang San’s unprecedented hub like transmission, relying on the Blue Silver Domain’s ultimate ability with the with the Seagod’s divine power to condense the golden light, it had completely reached the effect Tang San wanted.
Tang San used a full two days to recover his mental strength. Over the next ten days, he repeatedly used the same method four times to condense Blue Silver Emperor energy for his mother. With the help of the Seagod’s Light, the blue silver grass in the Sunset Forest offered up inexhaustible energy. Until the Blue Silver Emperor energy Ah Yin had was completely equal to Tang San’s level, and couldn’t be transmitted any longer.
After finishing the last energy transmission, Tang San once again entered cultivation. Right now Ah Yin had already undergone heaven and earth revolving changes. The enormous leaves no longer spread out, but were instead completely gathered together, each leaf not only possessing enormous Blue Silver Emperor energy, but also a portion of the aura of the Seagod’s Light. The leaves had now turned completely golden, forming a ten meter wide cocoon. Piercing golden light flared, Ah Yin’s body containing enormous energy fluctuations.
Having experienced similar circumstances, Xiao Wu told Tang Hao that these were signs of a spirit beast reaching a hundred thousand years. When Ah Yin broke out of her cocoon, she would again have returned to the hundred thousand year level. At the same time, while in this cocoon formed from her own body and energy, she also had the chance to make a choice. Either become human, or stay as a formidable hundred thousand year spirit beast. There was no doubt as to how Ah Yin would choose. She had already experienced cultivating as a human, and even Xiao Wu couldn’t tell what she would be like after breaking out. After all, it was the first time she had seen anyone like Ah Yin, who had twice cultivated to hundred thousand years.
Tang San awakened from cultivation after two days. In these dozen days, he had constantly used up and restored his mental strength, and it felt as if his mental strength had become even a bit more solid.
The golden cocoon still flashed with faint light, nobody knew how long this evolution would take. Tang Hao sat waiting in front of the cocoon, his eyes from time to time glistening with anxiety. Even though he’d already waited for so long, and by all reason his wife should have a chance to very soon recover to her former state, the more this was the case, the more intense his impatience grew. Watching that golden cocoon, he couldn’t wait to see his beloved wife again.
As soon as Tang San opened his yes, he saw Xiao Wu sitting close by. Her big black eyes blinked and looked at him, her long eyelashes curling, her long hair falling down her shoulders to the ground, like a black waterfall.
“Xiao Wu.”
If his parents hadn’t been here, Tang San would have wanted to directly show his affection.
Xiao Wu happily said:
“Ge, you’re awake.”
It had been almost a month since they came here. In the gaps between where Tang San helped his mother recover, he and Xiao Wu had buried Da Ming and Er Ming’s bodies on the other side of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well. Even though she knew it was impossible, Xiao Wu secretly still hoped the spiritual influence here could give the two forest kings a slim chance for resurrection.
After talking to Tang San and his parents, Xiao Wu’s mood was already much better. Even though the pain in her heart still remained, she didn’t want Tang San to see her unhappy.
Xiao Wu cutely jumped into Tang San’s arms, her long black hair hiding the two like a veil. Xiao Wu softly said:
“Ge, do you know when mom can wake up?”
Tang San shook his head:
“Even you don’t know, and I know even less. But since there’s enough energy and mom has already experienced breaking through a hundred thousand years, it shouldn’t be too long.”
Xiao Wu said:
“Ge, let’s go for a walk, ok? There’s a lot of spirit beasts in this Sunset Forest, maybe we can find some that suits you. Your Blue Silver Emperor really is bald and ugly with four spirit rings left.”
Tang San’s heart twitched:
“Xiao Wu, I still haven’t asked you. What level is your spirit power now? Even though your body and soul were separated these past years, you did still take two great immortal grade herbs. Especially that Yearning Heartbroken Red was enormously effective. Even if your cultivation isn’t more than mine, relying on this immortal herb your physical toughness isn’t less than mine.”
Xiao Wu smiled slightly:
“I don’t know what rank my spirit power is either, I’m at a bottleneck right now, the seventieth rank bottleneck. When I went from hundred thousand year spirit beast cultivation to human, the first six spirit rings didn’t require hunting spirit beasts, but by the seventieth rank I really am human. And with the effect of those two immortal grade herbs, I’ve become human a bit early. Now I also need to hunt spirit beasts for spirit rings. I feel like my spirit power shouldn’t stop at rank seventy, but I can’t tell how much more either.”
Tang San pulled Xiao Wu up, skilfully pulling out a sandalwood comb from his Twenty Four Moonlit Bridges, speaking to her while combing her jet black hair:
“Then we’ll go strolling in the Sunset Forest. With your current physical condition, absorbing a hundred thousand year spirit ring might be a bit dangerous, and finding one isn’t to likely either. But, fifty or sixty thousand year spirit beasts’ spirit rings shouldn’t be a problem. Once you have a spirit avatar, your defensive abilities will be even stronger. Unfortunately, I don’t have any god bestowed spirit rings on hand.”
Xiao Wu said:
“Since my soul and body were separated I only have one trial, and all the rewards are superimposed. I can get them once you’ve completed the Seagod Nine Trials. Right now you still lack more than ten spirit rings and a spirit bone for the eighth trial. Mom is just evolving, let’s go search here. If there are any suitable spirit rings, we can finish the eighth trial sooner.”
Tang San rubbed Xiao Wu’s head. He of course knew that Xiao Wu was saying this because he had lost five spirit rings to resurrect her. As a former spirit beast she least liked seeing spirit masters hunt spirit beasts.
While combing Xiao Wu’s hair, Tang San said to her:
“Xiao Wu, I promise you that all the spirit beasts I kill will be those especially wicked ones, the kind that take the initiative to attack me, and I absolutely won’t kill more than needed, ok?”
Xiao Wu nodded slightly. Her back was to Tang San, but the rims of her eyes were already red. Da Ming and Er Ming were dead. In this world Tang San was her only family. Tang San’s thoughts for her, his love for her, imperceptibly dissolved the grief in her heart.
After a while, a neat scorpion braid was already completed. Even tied up in a braid, Xiao Wu’s hair almost reached the ground.
Xiao Wu’s eyes were no longer red. Turning around she smiled sweetly at Tang San,
“Let’s tell dad and go.”
Tang San nodded. Leading along Xiao Wu’s soft little hand they went up to Tang Hao. Tang Hao’s gaze was always fixed on the giant golden cocoon,
“I heard you talking. Go, pay attention to your safety.”
Tang San promised, and pulled out the nearby Seagod Trident. Saying goodbye to his father, they flew up and over the mountaintop, arriving in the Sunset Forest.
Their feet planted firmly on the ground, the two held hands and walked into the forest. Tang San wasn’t in any hurry to hunt spirit beasts, this was his first time walking with Xiao Wu in the woods after her resurrection, and he didn’t want to break this pleasurable mood by killing.
Xiao Wu’s heart was interlinked with Tang San, gently following him. Their figures slowly entered the dense forest.
Before they had gone far, Xiao Wu suddenly halted and looked at Tang San, softly calling out:
“Ge.”
“En?”
Tang San also halted, looking at her.
“Kiss me, ok?”
Xiao Wu’s face was red, but she still shyly spoke.
Tang San only felt hot blood rush to the top of his head, his gaze so hot his eyes almost spit flames. There were no parents here, and the feelings held in his heart could no longer be restrained. Almost roughly pulling Xiao Wu into his embrace, his invading lips constantly fell on Xiao Wu’s forehead, the hair by her temples, brushing her face like a soft breeze, and finally, stopped on her tender pink lips.
A warm sensation as soft as silk, a fragrance like a quiet orchid, seemed to instantly swallow Tang San’s soul. Xiao Wu’s arms twisted around Tang San’s neck responding somewhat unskillfully. This moment, tears rolled down both their faces practically simultaneously. They had experienced so many storms, separated by life and death, but they could finally be together.
This kiss seemed like it would last until the end of time, until the seas ran dry and the rock went soft. Neither wanted to separate.
This was still a pure kiss, without involving any lust, only a dense, almost substantial love.
An unknown amount of time later, suddenly, a connection with his soul roused Tang San from the love, pulling Xiao Wu’s soft body to swiftly move sideways. A smear of black light flitted past where he stood before, and at the same time that black light spread out, chasing after Tang San and Xiao Wu.
Those were sharp black needles, with a rich dark aura. Tang San brought Xiao Wu to quickly change places in midair several times, but they still chased after without giving up. The tyrannical energy fluctuations made the air crackle, and where it passed, an acrid smell rose from the ground.
This was…… The Pit Demon Spider’s Piercing Needle ability?
Confronting this kind of attack, Tang San didn’t know if he should laugh or cry, but at the same time also felt angry at him and Xiao Wu being interrupted.
After he and Xiao Wu entered the forest, because they were lost in love, they hadn’t showed their presence, their auras reserved, and had instead provoked a spirit beast attack. This eyeless fellow was still a Pit Demon Spider with quite the cultivation. There was no reason not to accept a gift delivered, and even Xiao Wu’s face now flashed with anger. Provoking Xiao Wu’s anger only had one result. Having just advanced to Thousand Hands Douluo, Tang San would directly transform into Thousand Hands Asura.
Just as Tang San and Xiao Wu were deep in emotions, they were interrupted by a sudden attack, and that Piercing Needle attack even chased them as persistently as bone maggots. It seemed it wouldn’t give up unless it succeeded.
With a cold snort, Tang San spun in midair, the Seagod Trident thrusting straight at the pursuing attack.
With a pop, that needle was smashed without any suspense. Tang San then landed with Xiao Wu, the golden trident heavily hitting the ground. That was a hundred eight thousand jin weight, and the earth trembled with a deafening sound. Basically without even needing to look, Tang San’s mental power had already located the Pit Demon Spider the moment it launched its attack. Tyrannical energy fluctuations instantly erupted, and with an explosive sound, an enormous black shadow was blasted out of the earth by the golden trident’s absolute power.
Just like Tang San expected, that was a Pit Demon Spider, and an especially enormous one, more than five meters long, several times larger than ordinary. Its jet black carapace glistened with grey patterns, and its abdomen where it stored spider silk and energy was extremely swollen. Small eyes sparkling with dull blue light stared at Tang San and Xiao Wu in shock. Clearly, it had now also realized it had run into an iron wall.
Only, this Pit Demon Spider reacted incredibly quickly. Its body was still paralyzed by being blasted out of hiding, but it was already forcefully turning, its rear swinging, and a large a large sparkling golden light flew to envelop Tang San and Xiao Wu. This was the Pit Demon Spider’s secret skill, Spiderweb Prison.
Different from that thousand year Pit Demon Spider whose spirit ring Tang San once absorbed, the spiderweb this Pit Demon Spider launched was crystalline yellow colored, translucent and bright. Launching in an instant, it actually gave people a feeling of hiding the sky and covering the earth, clearly showing that it could envelop an enormous range.
Just from this point, Tang San judged that this Pit Demon Spider absolutely wasn’t just a simple ten thousand year level. Even though it couldn’t possibly be a hundred thousand year spirit beast, neither was it on the level of the last one he saw. It should be Pit Demon Spider with more than fifty thousand years of cultivation. Its Spiderweb Prison was at least five times stronger than the previous Pit Demon Spider.
Sensing the Pit Demon Spider’s strength, Tang San was happy rather than alarmed. Among the spirit beasts of the present age, hundred thousand year level spirit beasts were extremely rare. Besides the ones that were already dead or had changed to human form like Xiao Wu and his mother, the two hundred thousand year spirit beasts Tang San knew of were the Devil Spirit Great White Shark King Xiao Bai, as well as the Deep Sea Demon Whale King. He had never expected himself to have large numbers of hundred thousand year spirit rings, but before coming back this time he had set his goal on ten thousand year spirit beasts, using ten thousand year spirit rings to supplement himself. In such circumstances, the higher the cultivation of the ten thousand year spirit beasts, the better. And of the five spirit rings he had given to save Xiao Wu, besides Xiao Wu’s own, the other four spirit rings had to come from the same kind of spirit beasts as before. When a Pit Demon Spider with such high cultivation appeared in front of him now, it was naturally the ideal chance to replenish his fourth spirit ring. How could Tang San let such a good opportunity pass him by?
He didn’t leave Xiao Wu behind, she was safest next to him. Facing the golden crystalline giant spiderweb falling towards him, Tang San’s right hand gripped the Seagod Trident stuck more than a chi into the ground, using it as support to suddenly flip up, his left leg kicking straight at that sparkling spiderweb.
Intense red light burst from Tang San’s left leg. The red light sparkled, a heaven shaking hatchet blade swept out. WIth a piercing sound, that extremely durable crystalline spiderweb split in half, the two pieces flying far away.
Even though this Pit Demon Spider’s ability was powerful, what it now faced was the hundred thousand year Evil Spirit left leg bone ability Tang San got from the Evil Spirit Orca King, the Orca Demon Hatchet. A formidable straight line killing ability. How could it escape? Tang San now had the strength to alone kill a hundred thousand year spirit beast, this fifty thousand year Pit Spider Emperor was basically nothing to him.
The Pit Spider Emperor shrieked. As early as when Tang San used the Seagod Trident to blast it out of the ground, it knew it had met an enemy it couldn’t match. After reaching the ten thousand year level in cultivation, spirit beasts possessed quite high intelligence, even more so for a Pit Spider Emperor with fifty thousand years. As soon as it launched that Spiderweb Prison, it immediately turned to run, about to escape into the forest. But, could it really successfully escape from Tang San?
Seeing that Pit Spider Emperor’s fat body turn to run, Tang San couldn’t help not knowing whether to laugh or cry. Want to run? It might not be that easy.
Pale blue light haze spread from between his eyebrows, his boundless mental strength already spreading out in all directions. The Pit Demon Spider was just fleeing with all it strength, when suddenly, it was shocked to find those two humans had at some point already appeared to block its path. A burst of incomparably powerful mental strength covered its body, the powerful mental intimidation immediately clearly reducing the Pit Demon Spider’s speed.
It wasn’t a spirit beast good at speed to begin with, and seeing Tang San and Xiao Wu in front of it, it immediately turned to escape in a different direction. At the same time, black light rushed out to cover a large area, the ground instantly covered with countless pitch black spikes. This was an area type spike formation, just like Tang San’s former fourth spirit ability Blue Silver Prison’s evolved ability, only this fifty thousand year Pit Demon Spider’s attack was even more powerful.
Tang San gave a cold snort, releasing Xiao Wu with his left hand, his palm tightened into a fist, intense red light bursting out. With him as center, the earth suddenly cracked, and those black spikes were smashed in waves before they could even reach him and Xiao Wu, turning into dust and returning to the ground. And the Pit Demon Spider’s body also heavily fell as if smashed by something, sharply hitting the ground, half it’s body buried.
What Tang San used was one of the two great ability from the Titan Giant Ape left arm bone, Gravity Mire. Effect: within a certain range, instantly increase or decrease gravity. The level of increase or decrease varies depending on the spirit power the user invests.
This ability was crystallised from Titan Giant Ape Er Ming’s gravity control domain. Even though it couldn’t control as a large range like Er Ming could, the gravitational effect within the range of the ability was even stronger than Er Ming’s domain. Those thorns were pulverized by the sudden gravity, and the Pit Demon Spider was also forcefully pressed into the ground by the sudden twentyfold increase in gravity.
Suddenly struggling up from the soil, the Pit Demon Spider didn’t keep running, instead sharply turning back, glaring at Tang San and Xiao Wu. It knew that if it couldn’t vanquish these two enemies, it would have no chance of escape. Only by going all out would it stand a chance.
Tang San stared at it with a provocational expression, not launching any attacks either. He wasn’t worried about killing this Pit Demon Spider. His experience from hunting spirit beasts in the past told him that the greater the unwillingness of the spirit beast when it died, the better the effects of the spirit ring it produced. Just like back when he killed the first Man Faced Demon Spider, it was after it died with extreme anger that it gave Tang San the external spirit bone Eight Spider Lances. The rate at which fifty thousand year spirit beasts produced spirit bones was even higher than common spirit beasts, and even though Tang San might not use it, he still had comrades, and Xiao Wu also needed spirit bones. This Pit Demon Spider was already like meat on the chopping board, of course he wasn’t anxious. He had to infuriate the enemy and kill it when it was the most frantic, then he would reap the greatest rewards.
Whether the Pit Spider Emperor or the Man Faced Demon Spider, they were both considered extremely vicious spirit beasts, specializing in killing spirit masters and weak spirit beasts, swallowing their energy to strengthen themselves. Xiao Wu wouldn’t pity such spirit beasts.
Zhizhi, the Pit Demon Spider furiously called out. Suddenly, its whole body once again drilled into the ground, leaving an extremely astonishing scene in front of Tang San and Xiao Wu. That enormous five meter Pit Spider Emperor actually disappeared underground in an instant, and most astonishing was that the place where it dug barely changed, only leaving some marks of flipped over soil.
With a soft puffing sound, large amounts of soil suddenly shot up in the surrounding area, even shooting out countless underground plants. And next, Tang San suddenly lost his mental lock on the Pit Spider Emperor.
Yi? What happened? Tang San looked around somewhat astounded. Just as the soil boiled, that Pit Spider Emperor seemed to completely disappear from his mental web, not even leaving a clue behind.
Xiao Wu asked:
“Ge, what is it?”
Tang San smiled slightly:
“This Pit Spider Emperor’s cultivation is over fifty thousand years, it really is different from a ten thousand year Pit Demon Spider. It should have some evolved ability I don’t know about. My mental strength can’t sense it’s presence at all. Really fascinating!”
Xiao Wu looked distracted,
“Even your mental strength can’t sense it? Then wouldn’t its ability be about the same as your Vast Sea Barrier?”
Hearing Xiao Wu say this, light flashed in Tang San’s mind. Right! Only abilities like the Vast Sea Barrier could escape his detection. He bent and kissed Xiao Wu’s soft face,
“Wife, fortunately you’re clever.”
Xiao Wu blushed,
“Who’s your wife, I still haven’t married you.”
Tang San overbearingly pulled her in close,
“What difference does it make? In my heart, you’re already my wife.”
There might not be many in the entire spirit master world who could chat and laugh like this when facing a fifty thousand year level spirit beast. With Xiao Wu’s reminder, Tang San had already made an accurate assessment. That Pit Spider Emperor should be using a camouflage ability, and moreover, this ability could still isolate it from mental searches. Only, its ability clearly couldn’t compare to his Seagod’s Heart’s Vast Sea Barrier, and with the power of his mental strength, since he couldn’t find it right now, it was very possibly keeping immobile.
The sudden rush of soul before could also be explained. It should be done by that Pit Spider Emperor to confuse him after it moved underground, using energy to shoot up the earth in order to keep him from discovering its position. As long as it waited for him and Xiao Wu to leave, it could naturally escape, dodging his pursuit. High level spirit beasts really were clever. Unfortunately, it had run into him.
Smiling faintly, Tang San thought, Pit Spider Emperor, oh Pit Spider Emperor, with your giant body, even if you don’t move, don’t tell me I can’t find you? If I couldn’t even deal with a spirit beast like you, how can I take revenge on the Spirit Empire?
Just as Tang San prepared to use methods to flush out the Pit Spider Emperor, suddenly, his expression changed, whispering:
“Someone’s coming. Eight, all spirit masters. Four are at least Spirit Sage level. One should be Spirit Douluo level. It should be a small party specially hunting spirit beasts.”
With her man to rely on, Xiao Wu wasn’t inclined to exercise her brain,
“Then what do we do?”
Tang San smiled slightly:
“Let’s take a look first, quietly see what happens.”
While the two discussed, in another direction, eight figures swiftly moved towards them. Among the eight, four wore tight white clothes, three wore yellow robes, and one of them wore the standard black robes of a Spirit Douluo. Tang San had previously seen the teachers of the Heaven Dou Imperial Academy wear such clothes, with the noble black robes embroidered with golden thread. Only, Tang San’s gaze very soon turned cold. He might not think anything of spirit beast hunting teams, but, on the left shoulders of these eight suddenly appearing people were embroidered two simple golden characters. Spirit. And between the two characters was also a golden sword.
Tang San was only too familiar with this symbol, it was the mark of the Spirit Empire. That golden sword should represent the sacred sword of the Seraphim spirit. After he fought Qian Renxue, Rang San had understood why the most important position on the Spirit Hall warrant tile held this sword symbol.
Clearly, these eight were spirit masters from the Spirit Empire. Only, this was within the borders of the Heaven Dou Empire, but they actually dared come hunt spirit beasts in the Sunset Forest, they sure had some guts! They were clearly confident in their strength.
These people were uniformly over fifty years of age, those four white dressed spirit masters should be sixtieth ranked Spirit Emperor,s the three yellow dressed spirit masters were Spirit Sages, and in black was without a doubt Spirit Hall’s Spirit Douluo. This Spirit Douluo was over seventy, with dark skin, and a gloomy light in his vulture eyes. Just as they appeared, his gaze fell on Tang San and Xiao Wu.
The black clothed old man saw how young Tang San and Xiao Wu were, and he raised his head with an arrogant expression, waving his hand to his companions.
In the spirit master world, strength was the foundation for everything. As a Spirit Douluo level power, disdaining someone as young as Tang San and Xiao Wu was entirely normal.
One white dressed Spirit Emperor walked towards Tang San and Xiao Wu. Seeing Xiao Wu’s stunning appearance, an expression of greed flashed through his eyes, and he swallowed to himself.
He was the youngest of these spirit masters, fifty five this year, and a spirit master’s body was much stronger than an ordinary person’s, enjoying women when seventy or eighty wasn’t a problem. It was still the first time he had seen such a fresh and stunning girl, and being accustomed to bossing people around in the Spirit Empire, how could he not be tempted?
“Hey, you two, get over here.”
Swaggeringly stopping thirty meters away from Tang San and Xiao Wu, he waved his hands at them like summoning servants, then pointed in front of him. His manners were as arrogant as could be.
The corners of Xiao Wu’s mouth twitched, not even glancing at this white clothed Spirit Emperor, leaning into Tang San’s chest she even closed her yes.
Actually, these spirit masters were also too unlucky. To the spirit masters of the Spirit Empire, the Star Dou Great Forest was their main territory for hunting spirit beasts, that was the place that produced the most spirit beasts in the entire Continent. But in order not to be influenced while hunting the Titan Giant Ape and Sky Blue Bull Python, when Bibi Dong left for the Star Dou Great Forest she had left orders prohibiting any Spirit Hall spirit masters from entering, temporarily banning spirit beast hunting there.
In the Spirit Empire, who dared disobey the Empress’ decree? But, as a spirit master’s level reached its peak and they needed a spirit ring to rise to the next level, how many could hold back? That was also an important reason why Grandmaster’s theory that delaying getting spirit rings wouldn’t influence the rise in spirit power.
Seven of these people had all come out in order to hunt spirit beasts since they had reached a bottleneck. Even though the Sunset Forest was small, it specially produced high level spirit beasts. These seven people added together also counted as quite a formidable power. They couldn’t hold back the impulse to increase their strength, and thus had quietly infiltrated the borders of the Heaven Dou Empire under the lead of that Spirit Douluo, specially picking remote paths, and had not long ago entered the Sunset Forest.
Right now, among these seven only that Spirit Douluo still hadn’t obtained the spirit ring he needed. Even though he still wore the clothing of a Spirit Douluo, his spirit power had in fact already broken through rank ninety, just lacking a spirit ring to be able to break through to the Title Douluo level. He was naturally extremely picky about his last spirit ring, and had no results after such a long search. Just before this, the powerful energy fluctuations from when Tang San struck the ground with the Seagod Trident had drawn their attention. That Spirit Douluo old man naturally thought some powerful spirit beast had appeared, and so they rushed here.
If they had left a bit later, they would immediately have been on alert when they saw Tang San, because even though Bibi Dong didn’t return to Spirit Hall, she still sent a Title Douluo to command all of the Spirit Empire to arrest a spirit master carrying a trident. But now these Spirit Hall experts were ignorant of everything, and seeing that Tang San and Xiao Wu were so young, they basically didn’t think of being alert.
In their minds, even if these two youths had strength comparable to Spirit Hall’s Golden Generation back then, at their age, they could at most be past rank fifty. To be able to wander this Sunset Forest was already quite good, but how could they compete with their team led by an almost Title Douluo power?
Hearing the other side’s interrogation, Tang San was suddenly in a joking mood. Pulling Xiao Wu close, he assumed a nervous expression,
“Uncle, what do you want? I urge you to leave immediately. Just now we saw a Pit Spider Emperor with at least fifty thousand years of cultivation near here. If we hadn’t been lucky, we would already be its lunch. It’s too dangerous here, hurry up and leave.”
Hearing the words Pit Spider Emperor, that black clothed old man’s eyes brightened. The best spirit rings for the ninth spirit ring required to advance to Title Douluo were produced by fifty thousand year or higher spirit beasts. Even though fifty thousand year spirit beasts and up were much more common than hundred thousand year spirit beasts, finding one in accordance with one’s own attributes was rare. And a spirit beast like the Pit Spider Emperor was useful to him.
The white clothed Spirit Emperor shouting at Tang San and Xiao Wu snorted, then again pointed in front of him,
“I told you to come over, didn’t you hear? Hurry up and get over here. Don’t force me. Otherwise I won’t be this polite.”
Tang San scowled:
“Who are you? I’m warning you kindly, why be so overbearing?”
That white clothed Spirit Emperor was just about to get angry when he was stopped by the black clothed old man,
“Alright, sixth, come back.”
While speaking, he suddenly flashed, already appearing ten meters away from Tang San and Xiao Wu. With his hands behind his back, he smiled arrogantly,
“Little brother, don’t mind. He was also speaking for your own good. There’s no lack of strong spirit beasts in the Sunset Forest, it’s a very dangerous place for you. Where did you see that Pit Spider Emperor? Which direction did it go in? Tell me. If we catch it, there will be benefits for you.”
Tang San said amazed:
“Grandpa, you’re strong enough to deal with the Pit Spider Emperor? Excellent. Then after you catch it, can’t you bring us out of this Sunset Forest? We were originally strolling in the outskirts, looking for a low level spirit beast that suits me, but we ran into a ten thousand year level Salamander Serpent, and got lost when we ran in a panic, ending up here who knows how. Now we can’t even find the directions. I see that you’re a formidable spirit master, we’ll trouble you for help.”
Listening to Tang San, Xiao Wu squirmed even deeper into his embrace. Of course not because she was afraid, but rather because she was worried she would laugh if she looked at the others. It was the first time she had seen Tang San so mischievous. Of course, she also understood that this was because Tang San was a lot more relaxed after she was revived, and then ended up in this joking mood. Of course she wouldn’t ruin his fun, and happily watched the show from within his embrace.
The black clothed old man said somewhat impatiently:
“We can, as long as you help us find the Pit Spider Emperor, bringing you out of here is a trifle.”
Tang San nodded:
“It was just now, we saw the Pit Spider Emperor was here, so we hid nearby. Look, there’s still signs of the ground being disturbed over there.”
The black clothed old man felt a chill. Fifty thousand year level spirit beasts were still threats to him. He turned and warned:
“Everyone be careful, Pit Demon Spiders are experts at attacking from hiding. Gather up and release your spirits. Prepare for battle.”
“Yes.”
The seven spirit masters agreed in chorus, and released their spirits at the same time.
Tang San sighed secretly. It had to be said that Spirit Empire trained spirit masters really were uniform. These spirit masters’ strength was quite original, each one with calm bearing. Even though their eyes were cold, and they were completely arrogant, in the end they had deep strength.
Seeing the seven spirit masters produce one dazzling spirit ring after another, Tang San cried out,
“Heavens! So many spirit rings, I haven’t seen this many in my whole life.”
Indeed, four Spirit Emperors plus three Spirit Sages was more than forty spirit rings, released at the same time they were really quite astonishing.
A trace of disdain flashed through the black clothed old man’s eyes, and he spoke indifferently:
“Sicne you’re also spirit masters, release your spirit rings as well. Don’t blame me for not warning you. The attacks of the Pit Spider Emperor are like fifteen tons of thunder. When that time comes, I might not be able to protect you.”
Tang San scratched his head:
“Nevermind, we’d better not release ours. Our level is low, releasing them is no use.”
Cold light flashed in the old man’s eyes, reproving:
“No nonsense. Since I told you to release them, then release them.”
Spirit Douluo level pressure arose involuntarily, “scaring” Tang San into retreating a few steps with Xiao Wu before catching his balance, his face pale.
If the other Shrek Seven Devils saw this scene, they would definitely howl with laughter. Tang San’s acting was too lifelike, if people didn’t know him, they absolutely wouldn’t see through it. He relied on his formidable mental strength to perfectly conceal his and Xiao Wu’s auras.
“Fine. Fine, I’ll release my spirit. Grandpa, can’t you hold my weapon for me? I have to circulate spirit power to release my spirit.”
The black clothed old man scowled, thinking, are these two complete rookies? They even have to operate spirit power to release their spirits? Even Spirit Grandmasters with a bit of understanding wouldn’t need to do that. He couldn’t help feeling even more scornful.
Only, when his gaze fell on the black Seagod Trident, he still couldn’t help staring blankly. Even though the Seagod Trident wasn’t infused with Seagod’s Light and was completely black, seemingly unremarkable, when looking at it close up he could still see those simple patterns inscribed on it, especially the bizarre shape of the three big blades and the heavy feeling it gave was very attractive to spirit masters.
Even though the black clothed old man was a bit disdainful of spirit masters carrying weapons, because his gaze was drawn to the Seagod Trident, he still reached out to hold it. Tang San’s acting was quite something. Right now the old man didn’t have a trace of vigilance. Of course, besides his acting, Tang San and Xiao Wu’s ages were too confusing.
Tang San singlehandedly held the Seagod Trident in front of the black clothed old man, the shaft inclined, until that black clothed old man grabbed it, then let go.
As the black clothed old man grabbed the shaft, he suddenly had a peculiar feeling, and couldn’t help being astounded. Just as he was about to take a closer look at this weapon, Tang San let go.
The Seagod Trident that Tang San seemed to casually wave about, when it left his hand, instantly revealed its weight. The black clothed man was completely unprepared, and instantly felt that giant polearm give him a pressure like Mt. Tai pressing down on his head.
That basically wasn’t a power he could resist. The trident toppled, and he along with it. A hundred eight thousand jin fell fast. The black clothed old man turned pale with fright, but couldn’t even shout in alarm. Only, he was still worthy of being a power about to reach Title Douluo. At the moment of danger, even though he couldn’t release his spirit, he still reacted quite quickly, fiercely kicking the Seagod Trident, making it pause slightly. At the same time he pushed against it with all his strength, and even though he couldn’t possibly budge it, he used the opposing force to leap back and away.
Until now, Tang San still wore a faint smile. When the black clothed old man kicked the Seagod Trident, Tang San also kicked out. Only, he kicked the butt end of the trident. Consequently, at the same time as the black clothed old man leapt back, the Seagod Trident also shot out, catching up to him in an instant.
With a soft popping sound, blood sprayed out, the enormous blades completely running through the black clothed old man’s body, propelled by a hundred eight thousand jin weight. With a flash of black light, the four meter long polearm had shot through him and flew far away. Summoned by Tang San’s Controlling Crane Catching Dragon, it turned back around and again fell into Tang San’s hand.
