Douluo Dalu 3rd Season Episode 236 English Story
A dignified voice suddenly appeared. There was basically no way to tell where the voice came from, but listening to it still made the soul tremble.
Lowering his head, gazing at the Seagod Trident in his hands,Tang San’s eyes revealed a shameful expression,
“Yes, I lost the Seagod’s Heart. The Seagod’s Heart chose me, but I didn’t protect it. But, I still want to inherit your power. I need your power to protect my family, my friends, and I also need your power to avenge the broken Seagod’s Heart. Please give me a chance, I will accept the punishment for the Seagod’s Heart shattering.”
“Since that’s the case, enter.”
“Clangclangclangclangclang……”
With a rumbling sound, the two hundred meter tall giant gates slowly opened, folding into the Seagod Temple. Immediately, intense golden light shot from the Seagod Temple, dazzling Tang San so he couldn’t open his eyes. Enveloped by the vast sacred power, that feeling of insignificance appeared once again. At this moment, he felt like a grain of sand immersed in the ocean, so negligible and insignificant.
This was the power of gods? Tang San suddenly smiled slightly, a smile filled with confidence. Having once faced a true god, even if Qian Renxue was an immature god at that time, she was still already a god. At that Time Tang San had been far from as powerful as he was now, but he had the courage to fight Qian Renxue, and had survived. How could the difference between gods be so enormous? He lacked only this final step. Besides, even if he was a grain of sand in the sea, this grain would still stir up the entire ocean.
Just because he had this thought, Tang San strode forward with a smile full of confidence. At this moment, even though he was so minute compared to the Seagod Temple, he already considered himself the center of this place.
Within the great Seagod palace, thirty six giant pillars supported the great ceiling on either side, and in the center, a three hundred meter wide corridor lead straight inside. At the end of the passage stood a giant chair, and in that chair sat a person. No, it should be a giant.
Tang San halted his steps, slightly distracted. That giant looked no different from a human in terms of appearance, draped in white gilded robes, a three pronged circlet on his head, with a water blue gem embedded in the central prong. He looked extremely familiar, just like the remaining Seagod’s intent released as a shadow from the Seagod’s Heart once before. Only, at that time he could only see a shadow, but now he saw his true appearance.
The Seagod?
The Seagod’s appearance was simple, not exactly handsome, but still extremely dignified. A pair of gentle but still somewhat strict eyes watched Tang San as he walked down the passage, faint light flickering in his eyes. The enormous pressure felt outside before, became even more oppressive here. Tang San got a feeling like when he experienced the first Seagod Trial, Enter The Seagod’s Light. Only that time he endured the pressure with his body, and this time it was pressure on the depths of his soul.
“Hello, revered lord Seagod. I really didn’t expect you to personally conduct this inheritance ceremony.”
Tang San calmed down after being briefly stunned. He maintained a rational attitude, camlmy watching the Seagod at the end of the passage, speaking neither servile nor overbearing.
“You see me, but don’t bow?”
The Seagod spoke up, his dignified voice filled with pressure.
Tang San calmly said:
“I’m only your successor, I’m not your servant, so why bow?”
The Seagod smiled, slowly rising from the chair. Him standing immediately gave a feeling like a towering mountaint. In fact, this lord Seagod was fully one hundred meters tall.
“Are you resentful because of Bo Saixi’s sacrifice?”
The Seagod smiled at Tang San.
Tang San said:
“Leaving aside senior Bo Saixi helping me, spending a life to protect your shrine, to protect the Seagod Island, and finally even ending her life as a sacrifice. How do you think I should feel like?”
Tang San also knew that contradicting a god wasn’t wise. Only, thinking of Bo Saixi’s death, he was filled with indignation.
The Seagod said indifferently:
“She only returned to my embrace, what about life? What about death? Some times, a human life is even more painful than death. Even gods are no exceptions.”
Tang San gave a cold laugh,
“And that’s why you decided her fate, yes?”
The Seagod shook his head:
“No, you’re mistaken. She chose her fate herself. Even gods cannot decide someone’s fate. That was her choice. Everyone will make their own choices, including you. Coming here is you choice. Bo Saixi’s ancestors were subjects who followed me to war in the oceans. The people of Seagod Island’s ancestors were all so. They guard the Seagod Island not only to wait for your arrival as successor, but also to protect those memories. That is their choice, and not my request. What I left behind was only the way leading here, I never stipulated that she had to do it. Only when the Seagod Island’s High Priest believes doing so is worth it, will she make that choice. Do you understand?”
Tang San hadn’t thought the Seagod would explain things so calmly. Yes, each person of the sea made their own decision, this wasn’t wrong. Only, he still couldn’t give up the responsibility for Bo Saixi’s sacrifice.
The Seagod smiled again,
“A person’s death is actually the separation of body and soul. Tang San, tell me, to a person, is the body or the soul more important?”
Tang San said:
“In some sense, the body should be the abode of the soul, but if there is no body, don’t tell me the soul will still exist? It would probably dissipate.”
The Seagod nodded:
“Since you understand this reasion, then it’s very easy for me to explain it to you. Indeed, after ordinary humans die, their souls will soon dissipate. Even spirit masters are no exception. But, after Bo Saixi passed, even if she died, her soul still wouldn’t dissipate. Her soul would be guided through my power to another world. After every god dies, their souls will go to that world.”
“A world where gods go after death?”
Tang San stared vacantly at the Seagod.
The Seagod smiled slightly,
“No price is for nothing. How could I not know what Bo Saixi paid? What I can do is give her soul eternal life. Eternal life of the soul is what gods can reach. Even though her physical form hasn’t reached the realm of gods, after death she will still be equal to gods. Do you still believe she sacrificed herself in vain? Moreover, I know Bo Saixi’s feelings. When your great grandfather died, a part of his soul was already influenced by divine power, I gave him a hand, and made his soul continue existing too. Thus, even though they have already died in the human world, their souls will never separate. Then, now I ask you, do you believe Bo Saixi is better alive, or dead?”
“That’s……”
Tang San stared dumbstruck at the Seagod, already unable to speak. But he could be sure of one thing, the indignation he felt had already quietly disappeared.
“Didn’t you already guess that gods are actually humans whose power has reached a certain level? Indeed, your guess is very correct. Therefore, gods are actually also people. Therefore, the lives of gods are also limited. Only much longer than that of humans. After gods die, their souls won’t dissipate like humans, but rather become divine souls. Divine souls won’t stay in the human world, at most they can stay behind for a few years, but divine souls will ultimately enter another space. It’s also necessary to enter another world. Consider the divine realm. The passage between the divine realm and human realm is one directional, only divine souls can enter the divine realm, but not humans, and neither can divine souls enter from there.”
Speaking of this, the Seagod revealed a trace of helplessness,
“If I could reincarnate as a human, I would actually prefer not to be a god. Life in the divine realm is a lot more tedious than the mortal realm. Did you know? Even I envy Bo Saixi a bit, because she can become a divine soul and find her lover in the divine realm, without being alone. Being alone is the most terrifying. In the divine realm, everyone are undying divine souls, power is basically meaningless.”
Tang San couldn’t help saying:
“Don’t tell me you didn’t look for a lover?”
The Seagod laughed in spite of himself:
“You think it’s that easy? Besides, there’s no way I could do it now. Because my divinity has yet to be inherited, I can’t be a carefree divine soul. After waiting so long, I picked you. You didn’t disappoint me either, walking the whole way here. You’re very good, better than I imagined. At first I thought you would think of any way possible to gain my inheritance as soon as possible after arriving here. But you challenged my authority because of Bo Saixi’s death. Just this character of yours qualifies you to inherit my power.”
Tang San looked at the Seagod Trident in his hands,
“Unfortunately, I didn’t protect the Seagod’s Heat. Your divine didn’t save me just once.”
The Seagod sighed:
“Back when I was in the mortal world, my road to becoming god was the fastest, spending a lifetime conquering on the ocean. Once in the divine realm, I felt regret. Because I didn’t have one friend that could cultivate to that level with me. At first I thought I shouldn’t meet you face to face when passing on my inheritance, but to me this is a rare chance to communicate with mortals. Fortunately I didn’t let that Asura God snatch you away. Inheriting divine power is extremely painful. Without the protection of a divine instrument, your body will very possibly be unable to endure. Only, you’re different from ordinary humans, you have two spirits. Your spirit ring allocation is even more astonishing, this gives you the conditions to far surpass an ordinary person’s physique. Only, I must warn you of one thing. When undergoing the inheritance, you can’t use the power of that Clear Sky Hammer. Because it is already permeated with the Asura God’s divine power. It will influence my divine power passing on to you. Your inheritance is split into eight parts, and you will expereince different pain and trials. With toyu hpysique, you have a chance to succeed. Remember, no matter how painful it is, you have to hold on to your heart, only with unswerving faith can you be the new Seagod.”
If Qian Renxue saw this scene now, she would definitely feel bitter hate. They both inherited gods, so how come the treatment was so different? Back at her inheritance she didn’t get any directions, and the god of angels’ divine soul didn’t contact her. Even though she completed the inheritance, that was also because of her heart’s devil causing some flaws, and leaving behind Tang San as a giant flaw in her heart now. But now Tang San got the Seagod’s divine souls’ personal instructions, and even though the Seagod didn’t say much, this conversation first of all meant Tang San wouldn’t suffer any barriers due to Bo Saixi and his great grandfather Tang Cehn’s deaths, leaving him to wholeheartedly undergo the inheritance, and second that the Seagod explained the whole process of the inheritance to Tang San, undoubtedly making Tang San even more confident and able to avoid indirect routes.
If divine inheritance could be said to have back doors, then Tang San definitely counted. Of course, he didn’t know about Qian Renxue’s inheritance process, and naturally had no idea his divinity inheritance was so advantageous.
Only, the Seagod clearly thought his instructions weren’t enough, continuing,
“Oh, right, I forgot to tell you. The pearl you got from the Deep Sea Demon Whale King’s head, use it in the last part of the inheritance. That will save you a lot of trouble.”
Listening to the Seagod, Tang San’s heart twitched, and he hurriedly asked:
“Then is the last inheritance related to the trident, can that whale pearl help me restore it?”
At Tang San’s question, the Seagod’s expression changed, the previous gentleness gone in an instant,
“Are you undergoing the inheritance or me? Less nonsense. The inheritance starts now.”
While speaking, the Seagod’s eyes suddenly brightened, just like two suns. Tang San only felt his soul seem to be sucked in, everything around him turning unreal in an instant. Golden mist constantly rose all around, so much that there were even golden bubbles that twisted and silently disappeared.
Light flashed, and a giant golden globe appeared on the Seagod’s chest. In that instant, light radiated, and the entire Seagod Temple shook, heaving violently, just like everything was purified.
Humm—— Lost in the golden light, Tang San disappeared as the giant golden light exploded, and the Seagod Temple also scattered and restored with this golden light.
The Seagod exhaled slowly, wiping the basically nonexistent sweat from his forehead. Looking at where Tang San disappeared, he muttered to himself:
“This kid is too clever, fortunately this god reacted before he became the victim of his ingenuity. Humph humph, anyway I didn’t give any clear instructions, even the divine realm enforcers can’t blame it on me. Hehe, hehehehe……”
If Tang San saw the Seagod’s current expression, he might dumbstruck remember a comrade. The Seagod’s smile was precisely identical to big sausage uncle Oscar’s most rotten smile. With a bit of dignity.
“Harumph——”
Suddenly, an ice cold voice echoed. The entire Seagod Temple shuddered, and the wretched smile just on the Seagod’s face instantly turned vigilant, the smile frozen, his divine dignity reappearing. Turning, he looked toward the entrance.
A figure equally as enormous, but completely wrapped up in dark red magic patterns stepped in. With each step, the incomparably immense Seagod Temple trembled. Dark red light revolved around him, making people unable to see his appearance. All that could be seen was the armor covered with dark red magic patterns.
The atmosphere in the entire Seagod Temple seemed to freeze, and the Seagod’s expression also became a bit unsightly,
“Asura, what did you come running over here for?”
The man addressed as Asura by the Seagod said coldly:
“Bo Saidong[1], what are you doing yourself, don’t you understand?”
The man dressed completely in dark red magic patterned armor had a voice as sonorous as iron striking gold, and with each word, the air seemed a bit more frozen.
The Seagod’s lip curled disdainfully,
“I have no idea what you’re talking about.”
“Just act stupid.”
Asura said coldly:
“You not only personally descended to the inheritance ground, you even gave the successor directions, and even tried to lower the difficulty of his inheritance. You’ve already broken the rules of the divine realm. You should know what the repercussions are. Those who oppose the rules of the divine realm, are erased.”
The Seagod’s expression changed, his voice turning equally ice cold,
“Asura, enough slander. Don’t think you can frame gods just because you’re a divine realm enforcer. With what ear did you hear me giving the successor instructions that lower the difficulty?”
Asura now stood only five steps from the Seagod, and the two equally tall god level powers looked face to face,
“Don’t tell me you forgot what that human called Tang San just said?”
The Seagod suddenly smiled, and his smile was even more vulgar than before,
“Haha, hahahaha……”
Asura’s blood red eyes instantly turned even colder,
“What are you laughing at? Don’t tell me you believe you can still escape the rules of the divine realm?”
The Seagod looked somewhat lightly at the Asura God,
“Who says what I said would be punished? Asura, everything big brother does is within the rules of the divine realm. Don’t tell me you don’t know the theory of the successor having affinity beyond the limit?”
“Affinity beyond the limit? You’re saying, that Tang San……”
Before Asura could finish, the Seagod already interjected:
“That’s right, in the process of the first eight of my nine Seagod trials, Tang San earned one hundred fifteen points of affinity. Even though only sensed ninety nine points of affinity towards me due to the Seagod’s Heart he had breaking. But the Seagod’s Heart breaking was due to interference from the god of angels’ successor. A god level power causing his affinity to be unable to be calculated normally doesn’t affect the affinity itself, past one hundred percent is still calculated according to normal affinity, don’t tell me you don’t know? My lord enforcer.”
Asura was silent, clearly he was unable to refute the Seagod’s words.
The Seagod continued:
“Before the successor undergoes the divinity inheritance, if the succeeded god’s affinity reaches one hundred percent, then at the time of inheritance, the succeeding god’s divine soul can descend to the inheritance ground to give a certain measure of instruction. Therefore, my coming here is perfectly within the rules of the divine realm. But, as far as I know, even as an enforcer, you can’t lightly leave the divine realm to come here. Even though the inheritance ground is between the divine and mortal realms, and considered a buffer zone, gods still can’t come here without special circumstances. You’re an enforcer, but still knowingly break the law, be careful I don’t report your misconduct to the divine realm committee.”
Asura looked coldly at the Seagod,
“No need to flaunt the sharpness of your tongue. I heard what you just told Tang San. You dare say your words didn’t exceed the permissible limits? The instructions you gave him were already too clear.”
The Seagod quibbled:
“Don’t say the instructions I gave him were clear. I sent him to receive the inheritance when he still didn’t understand what was going on. Oh, Asura, don’t think I don’t know why you ran over here. Isn’t it for Tang San. Your own divine power couldn’t be approved by Tang San and was suppressed by mine, so you wanted to abuse your authority to influence his inheritance. You were definitely planning on Tang San being unable to endure halfway through the Seagod divinity inheritance because of the Seagod’s Heart shattering, and you’d act to save him and switch him to inherit your Asura God divinity, am I right? Let me tell you, don’t dream of it. After so many years, was it easy for me to find a successor like this? With eight trials done on my side, and you suddenly run over and want to pick the peach. Don’t even think about it. Who told you the Seagod couldn’t be inherited without the Seagod’s Heart? It’s just a bit more dangerous. Besides, you might not have thought of some things. The little whale that once bothered me was killed by Tang San, and he even got its whale pearl. With that thing, restoring the Seagod’s Heart isn’t a problem.”
The Asura god glanced coldly at the Seagod,
“He could kill the Deep Sea Demon Whale King by relying on your Seagod’s power?”
“Eh……”
The Seagod suddenly remembered that a very large reason Tang San killed the Deep Sea Demon Whale King was because of the Deathgod Domain mutating, drawing out the Asura God’s power, using the Asura God’s powerful slaughter aura to dominate the Deep Sea Demon Whale King, thereby gaining victory. And in fact, even if Tang San’s Seagod affinity passed one hundred percent, the Seagod still couldn’t necessarily come here. But he knew the Asura God thought of stealing Tang San, and so he scuttled over here as fast as he could, hoping there would be no problems with Tang San’s inheritance that would give the Asura God a chance to snatch him. Divine power was eternally unable to act in the mortal realm, only the trace of divine intent left behind when becoming god and leaving the mortal realm could help the chosen pass the tests, and absolutely not act selfishly. Otherwise, the Seagod would already have used his power to deal with Qian Renxue when Tang San was in danger. The Seagod’s way of thinking was to first use the fastest speed to help Tang San complete the inheritance, and once objections were raised the rice would already be cooked, and even with the Asura God’s sublime position in the divine realm, he couldn’t forcefully steal Tang San.
“So what if your power was used then? You clearly knew he was my successor, but still stuck a pole in, Asura God. We’re all main gods here, I wouldn’t fear you even if the divine realm committee denounced me. What are you looking at? Don’t accept it? Don’t use those dead fish eyes to look at me. This is my Seagod Temple, even if we fight you might not be able to take me.”
The Asura God didn’t erupt, his voice was still so ice cold and sonorous,
“You’re bringing up first come first served with me?”
The Seagod puffed out his chest,
“That’s right. There will always be an order of arrival. You waited until Tang San had completed my eight Seagod trials before showing up like a robber. As an enforcer, aren’t you knowingly breaking the law?”
The Asura God nodded slowly,
“Fine, then I’ll argue the order of arrival with you at the divine realm committee. Let me just ask you one thing, how was Tang San able to use my power when hunting the Deep Sea Demon Whale King? Power cannot reach the mortal realm from the divine realm, so what did I give him? Bo Saidong, we’ll meet at the divine realm committee.”
Finished speaking, the Asura God ruthlessly turned around and directly walked out of the Seagod Temple.
At his words, the Seagod first stared blankly a moment, but very quickly reacted, and unable to help cursing,
“Fuck me.”
His expression also instantly turned awkward.
He’d always thought the Asura God had suddenly run over to pick the peach just when Tang San was about to complete the Seagod Trials and inherit his divinity, but the Asura God suddenly reminded him that Tang San’s Deathgod Domain seemed to have been there before his Seagod’s Heart met him. That thing apparently carried the Asura God’s presence on its own, and was also a mark of the Asura God’s chosen.
“Asura, stop right there, speak clearly before you leave. You’re clearly unfair. This one doesn’t fear going to the divine realm committee either. Your method for picking successors is unconscientious to begin with, throwing a net everywhere, raising one after another. I’ve raised this one with single-hearted devotion.”
Even though the Seagod was still speaking very sternly, by now he was actually not as fierce as he seemed.
The Asura God paused, speaking without turning his head:
“Furthermore, I heard what you just said to help Tang San clear his mind. You still don’t seem to have asked my permission to have that spokesperson Bo Saixi of yours be together with my former successor. Even though Tang San’s great grandfather Tang Chen completed a divine soul, his injuries were extremely severe. I still haven’t considered whether to spend the effort to help him heal.”
Finished speaking, the Asura Godtook a step, already disappearing out the Seagod Temple gates.
“Don’t be so threatening.”
The Seagod roared indignantly,
“Asura God, you’re my big bro, we can talk things over! Wait for me.”
The Asura God’s ice cold voice drifted through the air,
“Everything will wait until the end of Tang San’s inheritance. Even if I want to have him become a divine realm enforcer, that’s a matter for ten thousand years later.”
The Seagod also charged out the Temple, yelling,
“Everything can be discussed, you’re one of the three great enforcers that can stand side by side with the two divine kings, you can’t go talking drivel to the divine realm committee!”
Divine realm enforcers had an extremely majestic status in the divine realm, they supervised everything, managed main gods, and even had the authority of god kings. Under special circumstances, they could even use special methods to surpass the divine realm and reach the mortal realm to enforce the law. And the divine realm committee was formed from the two god kings and three great divine realm enforcers. Major events in the divine realm were voted on by the five committee members. The two god kings had two votes each, and the three enforcers had one. But if the three enforcers were unanimous, their three votes could still overrule the two god kings’ decision. These five great committee members were known as the Divine Realm Five Primes, and even though the Seagod wasn’t considered one of them, he was still a main god second only to the Primes. He was extremely powerful, and therefore didn’t fear the Asura God.
Golden light made Tang San somewhat lost. He only felt like there was an enormous golden whirlpool spinning around him, and everything in his sight was gone besides gold.
Suddenly, the lost feeling disappeared in a moment, and that whirlpool-like golden light also vanished. Tang San discovered that he was now on top of a circular platform.
This platform was golden, with a faint heat radiating up under his feet. Around the circular platform was a boundless ocean, but what scared Tang San was that this water was colored gold. Golden sea, what kind of strange sight was that! Moreover, even the sky was golden, the entire area seemed to be a single color, with only different shades distinguishable.
Tang San was clever and focused. He first of all recalled the Seagod’s last expression just now, his guess was without a doubt correct, but the Seagod definitely couldn’t tell him the truth straight for some reason, and so sent him directly to the trial. As for this place, it should be a special domain, specially for passing on the Seagod’s divinity. This was all Tang San understood with his present experience.
Around the circular platform, slightly higher, were eight smaller round platforms that all seemed around two meters in diameter, with the platform where Tang San stood in the center. Eight small platforms? Previously the Seagod said that he had to complete eight Seagod trials to complete the inheritance. It seemed it should be related to these eight platforms.
As Tang San reflected, suddenly, wave-like golden light rushed out from the platform he stood on, all rushing towards Tang San. He only felt his body completely frozen by these energies, completely unable to move.
Gradually, that wave of golden energy completely enveloped Tang San’s whole body. What he didn’t know whether to laugh or cry about was that even his breathing was completely stopped. Besides being able to see, he couldn’t react in any other way. The Mysterious Heaven Skill inner strength circulated with clearly reduced speed, pulsing extremely slowly. He wanted to use his mental strength to trigger his inner strength, but both his mental strength and inner strength were suppressed by a strange energy.
Suddenly, without any warning, a scorching hot feeling suddenly came from behind. Immediately after, before Tang San could react, an intense ripping feeling turned into sharp pain, such that it made his vision darken. As if his body was being shaved open. Ear-piercing sounds of friction echoed behind him. Even though Tang San’s mental strength was sealed, at the moment his senses were still exceptionally sharp. However, the sharper his senses, the clearer the pain was.
That scorching pain was like someone was cutting his back with a saw. After skin, muscles and arteries were cut open, it kept cutting the ribs of his back, aiming specially at the cracks between bones. With a crunching sound, it was as if a bone was forcefully torn from Tang San.
Slicing skin and muscle, tearing bones, this kind of pain was suffered with enhanced senses. If it was someone else, they might have died from the pain. And even Tang San with his staunch willpower, in such pain, every blood vessel all over his body twitched, the violent pain making every nerve tremble.
Meanwhile, of the eight small platforms surrounding the one where Tang San stood, one flew out, hovering a meter in front of him. Charming wave patterns sparkled on the platform, but unfortunately Tang San wasn’t in the mood to appreciate it.
A line of golden light shone from behind Tang San to in front of him, hitting that round little platform. It didn’t attack, but rather floated fifty centimeters above it. It was in fact a rib. Tang San’s rib. What Tang San felt wasn’t wrong, it was a rib torn from his body.
If Tang San’s Seagod’s Heart wasn’t broken, then even though his bones would still be torn away, he could have relied on the Seagod Trident to reduce the pain considerably. The Seagod’s Heart would have used the Seagod’s power to shield his senses, reducing the pain as much as possible. But now, Tang San didn’t have the Seagod’s Heart’s help, and just like a patient undergoing surgery without anesthetic, his bones were directly torn out of him. That kind of feeling…...
Ribs, golden ribs. Tang San forced down the fear. In such pain, he still told himself he had to stay calm. The rib torn from him seemed to be one of his Eight Spider Lances. In fact, his Eight Spider Lances had already reached the god level, but was actually still torn off. Then how powerful was the energy restraining him?
As if proving Tang San’s conjecture, after that rib stabilized over the little platform, it immediately radiated light and expanded, turning into a three meter long spider leg. Precisely one of the Eight Spider Lances.
The pain was heavy like waves. WIth another crunch, Tang San felt another of his ribs being forcefully separated and went limp for a moment. The Mysterious Heaven Skill inner strength within him was completely suppressed, unable to dull the pain. What Tang San felt now could only be imagined.
Just at this moment, the cold voice Tang San heard before entering the Seagod Temple suddenly echoed,
“Undoing restraints. If spirit bone removal is stopped, the inheritance will be forcefully interrupted. The consequences of interrupting the inheritance is at worst erasure. You may not leave the two meter range of the platform, you may not change the spirit bone removal posture. Otherwise, it will be viewed as abandoning the inheritance.”
As the voice fell, all the restraints immediately disappeared. Tang San recovered the ability to move, and almost immediately heaved a sigh of relief, doing his utmost to urge his Mysterious Heaven Skill inner strength, not towards his back, but rather straight at his chest, using it to form a layer of sensation, doing his best to block his aching nerves.
But, his senses were strengthened at least fivefold, so how easy would it be to isolate the violent pain? Amidst intense pain, a second golden light shone, as another spider leg appeared above the platform in front of Tang San. Two of the ribs where the Eight Spider Lances attached had been forcibly torn off.
But this time, Tang San suddenly became aware that being able to move was worse than being completely sealed. At least with his body sealed he could focus all his attention on dealing with the pain. But now that his movements were restored, in such brutal pain, he practically subconsciously wanted to rush out, or launch attacks behind him. But if he did so, his Seagod inheritance would naturally also be interrupted. Consequently, he had to use all his heart and soul to control himself, doing his best to maintain his present posture without moving. Even if the pain was already making his skin distort, he still had to persist in not moving. This kind of feeling was even more painful than before. Passively enduring the pain turned into actively fighting it.
This was still just the beginning! If he couldn’t endure now, then how would the inheritance progress later? Tang San focused all his efforts, stubbornly clenching his teeth without moving, his muscles and nerves trembling uncontrollably, but he still stood there like nailed to the ground, maintaining the posture as the muscles of his upper body twitched.
Crunch, another rib was torn off, the pain turning Tang San’s vision dark. But his mind was still stubbornly clear, so much that it could even analyse the painful process. Tang San’s heart was pounding violently at triple speed. So much so that he even worried that his heart would give out from the pain. Even more strangely, even though his ribs were ripped off, there was no blood hitting the ground, and moreover, after the ribs were ripped off, there was only a burst of weakness at their position. Besides more pain, there was no feeling of emptiness.
Tang San understood very soon. In fact, it wasn’t that his ribs were being torn off, it should be his Eight Spider Lances ribs, while his real ribs were still there. What the unknown force behind him was doing, was forcefully separating his spirit bones from his body.
In fact, Tang San had dones so himself once, but at that time he only severed his arm and forcing out the spirit bone, and not ripping them from his bones. Anyway, his Blue Silver Emperor right leg bone could also regenerate his limbs. Besides, by choosing to remove a spirit bone, even Title Douluo level powers would lose ten ranks of spirit power as a consequence, in the past he had learned this from his father Tang Hao. But even though the present process of separating spirit bones was painful, Tang San spirit power wasn’t influenced in the slightest. This was the power of gods! What could accomplish this besides gods?
With this understanding, Tang San didn’t feel the pain on his back was so terrible. Truly experiencing the effect of divine power this time, and such a miracle, allowed his mind to accept the pain. Tang San’s willpower was extremely strong, even more than his god level physique. Further adding that his intelligence let him understand the principle of the pain, he grew even more tenacious when enduring.
Of course, the exhaustion from such violent pain was immense. Frothy with sweat, big drops constantly dripping to the ground. Tang San didn’t gasp for breath, that would increase the drain on his strength. He knew that outside powers might not have any effect during a god’s inheritance, so he didn’t try eating the sausages Oscar prepared. His brain only constantly told him that each time he suffered, his strength would advance a bit. Under such strong mental suggestion, Tang San stiffly endured.
Crunch, crunch, with each tooth ache-inducing sound, one rib flew over to the platform in front of Tang San, transforming into an Eight Spider Lance.
Finally, after the last rib belonging to the Eight Spider Lances produced that painful fracturing sound, the violent pain finally ceased. Tang San immediately heaved a huge sigh of relief.
When people were normal, they would never feel so blessed, but as a someone escaped violent pain, they would still enjoy an enormously happy feeling as they recovered. Right now Tang San was just enjoying such a happy feeling. At the same time, the happiness also produced some strange changes.
The Eight Spider Lances connected together, forming the complete Eight Spider Lances form. Glittering gold flowed across them, even the draining gold threats pulsed visibly. With this external spirit bone he had gotten more than ten years ago stripped off like this, even though the pain was gone, Tang San felt an intense sense of loss.
Just at this moment, the Eight Spider Lances in front of him began to change.
In the golden sea, eight pillars of water flew out, each the same thickness as the Eight Spider Lances, hitting the Eight Spider Lances simultaneously. Immediately, that golden seawater completely enveloped the Eight Spider Lances, and was also bit by bit absorbed by them.
His pain already gone, with that sense of happiness as well as loss from losing the Eight Spider Lances, Tang San focused all his attention on the scene in front of him. He didn’t think of giving up on the once in a lifetime chance for divine inheritance.
Golden patterns like waves began to appear on the Eight Spider Lances one after one, gradually covering every corner. The pattern was both bold and succinct, perfectly combining strength and beauty, making the originally already beautiful Eight Spider Lances even more so. And Tang San moreover vaguely felt that after these eight streams of seawater were poured inside, the Eight Spider Lances in front of him seemed to expand. Not growing, but rather gradually growing thicker. Along with their change. The wave and cloud patterns on the surface also gradually grew larger.
A fantastic understanding appeared in Tang San’s mind. Vaguely, he seemed to sense a trace of reluctance to leave from his Eight Spider Lances. The spirit bone was sending him its feelings? Could the Eight Spider Lances already have its own intelligence?
Before Tang San could think further, suddenly, with incredible shock, an extremely elegant scene played out in front of him.
Those eight slender Spider Lances suddenly contracted and turned thinner, but also grew thicker. Each one became roughly two meters long, and the next instant, the Eight Spider Lances covered with wave patterns suddenly unfurled, like butterflies breaking out of their cocoons, eight giant golden wings unfolding simultaneously.
“Ah——”
At this scene, Tang San couldn’t help shouting.
Each of those wings was more than two meters long, and across the wings, the wave pattern was its feathers. With each soft movement, that wave pattern would also move, transforming into resplendent golden light. The tips of the wings were extremely sharp, just like sword points. That brilliant light was so touching, as if calling out to Tang San with each movement.
These, these are my Eight Spider Lances? First feeling violently shocked, an indescribably ecstatic feeling rushed from his heart. That intense joy swallowed his heart in practically an instant, his soul. Tang San nearly couldn’t hold back, he wanted to rush over, to gently caress those touching wings. And the Eight Spider Lances transformed into eight wings also seemed to beckon to him, sending strong joy as well as intense feelings of attachment. Those were his! Tang San had already raised his hands, as if a voice in his heart told him that as long as he took one step forward, went to caress those resplendent wings, he could possess them immediately, possess this true divine tool above even spirit bones, a divine tool not inferior to the Seagod Trident. A divine tool that was part of him.
Tang San’s left foot was already raised. One short step, it would only take this one short step and he could possess these Seagod Eight Wings fused with the Seagod’s power. With even two more wings than Qian Renxue’s Angel Six Wings, this was such a beautiful feeling.
But at this moment, suddenly, an intense feeling of danger came from the eight wings in front of him, rigidly stopping Tang San’s already raised foot in midair.
The feeling of danger was transmitted by the Seagod Eight Wings, but could also be said to be from the Eight Spider Lances. The previous happiness turned to nothing in this true danger. Tang San maintained his previous posture, his whole body freezing in place, even his expression turning rigid.
A fear from the depths of his soul made cold sweat run down his face.
How could he take this step? The instructions by the ice cold voice from before still rang in his ears, if he left his current position, then the Seagod inheritance would fail! Such a terrifying inheritance.
Shivering, Tang San immediately withdrew his outstretched leg and hands, forcibly scattering the excitement he felt.
Tang San had already come to his senses. First was intense pain, and when he had endured it, the pain was followed by intensely contrasting happiness, and after the happiness was ecstasy from seeing the Eight Spider Lances transform into such glorious Seagod Eight Wings. A person, even someone with extremely firm will, even if they might be able to endure intense pain without any warning, how would they endure intense happiness? Tang San was one case, if not for the Eight Spider Lances transformed into the Seagod Eight Wings sending a feeling of danger at the last moment, dispelling his ecstasy, he might already have failed the inheritance.
Compared to Qian Renxue’s Angel inheritance, Tang San’s Seagod inheritance seemed too difficult. This was after all only one of the eight trials in the process, it shouldn’t be the most difficult one. But don’t forget that Tang San had lost the Seagod’s Heart. If he had the Seagod’s Heart here, then when he now started the inheritance, the Seagod’s Heart would give him an extremely useful prompt. With Tang San’s intelligence, if he had that prompt, he naturally wouldn’t be fooled so easily.
And in fact, the Eight Spider Lances being able to warn Tang San was actually a backdoor given him by the Seagod. Of course, it wasn’t that the Seagod had the Eight Spider Lances warn him, the Seagod definitely wouldn’t violate any laws of the divine realm. But he changed the order of the eight trials Tang San would experience in the inheritance. With the god level spirit bone Eight Spider Lances coming first, with the Eight Spider Lances degree of familiarity with Tang San, with its intelligence, it forcibly broke through the bewildering barrier and gave Tang San such a warning. And with the warning from this first trial, Tang San would inevitably be much more cautious later in the process. The Seagod couldn’t be accused of not putting thought into it.
Along with Tang San waking from the ecstasy, restabilising his mind, a rich golden blue mist rose on the little platform in front of him, enveloping the Seagod Eight Wings like it was permeating them. Amidst glittering light, this platform representing the first trial slowly flew away, flying back to its original position. Only, on it, already incredibly brilliant, were the wave patterned Seagod Eight Wings.
At the same time as it left, the second round platform quietly arrived in front of Tang San. With the experience from the first trial, Tang San hurriedly focused. Just as he expected, violent pain arrived once again. This time at his right arm.
A clearly visible palm of holden energy appeared at Tang San’s right arm, making a grabbing motion, at which the violent pain also began. Tang San tightly grabbed the muscles at his waist with his right hand, resisting the rending pain, allowing that golden palm shaped energy to start stripping his right arm spirit bone.
Having passed the first trial, Tang San already roughly understood that in these Seagod trials, he would constantly experience this pain. Maybe his seven spirit bones would all be stripped off one after another, and that last trial should be to restore the Seagod Trident. Eight trials in total. But even though the pain was constant in these trials, it wasn’t the true content of the trials. Like the first trial, even though he had experienced powerful pain, what almost lost him the trial in the end was the heartfelt joy. Very clearly, there would be mood changes in later trials, it was basically going to use all kinds of ways to influence him, to make him leave the central platform. As long as he did, the inheritance would fail.
With this knowledge, Tang San was naturally intelligent enough to prepare. The process of stripping the right arm spirit bone was a bit faster than the Eight Spider Lances, and the pain he suffered naturally also a bit less. This was also something Tang San observed himself. He vaguely understood that the longer the spirit bone removal took, the higher the quality of the spirit bone was, and the better the effect would be from soaking in Seagod energy. Although the Sky Blue Bull Python right arm bone was good, it was still some way from the Eight Spider Lances that had already reached god level. As a result, when it was stripped off, the process was a bit faster, and it could be assumed that the effects would also be a bit worse.
What Tang San was curious over was, after he once again endured the pain, after seeing the Eight Spider Lances turn into the Seagod Eight Wings, he very much wanted to know what this Sky Blue Bull Python right arm bone would turn into?
The answer was very soon announced. Only this answer still made Tang San enormously amazed. Yes, not surprise, but amazement, so much that he was simultaneously shocked and furious.
The stripped off Sky Blue Bull Python right arm bone quietly landed on that round platform, and a golden wave washed over it, swallowing it up. Very soon, the golden wave energy, the Seagod’s energy, merged into the Sky Blue Bull Python right arm bone, and the bone showed bizarre changes.
The spirit bone grew larger, becoming the size of Tang San’s right arm, but no longer bent, standing straight on the platform. At the top, there was a circular mushroom top forming, looking like something any man would find very familiar. If it was smaller, it would be a bit like Oscar’s flying mushroom sausage. What was most difficult to endure was that in the center of that mushroom head, a golden liquid spurted out, flying in an arc through the air and spraying over Tang San. He even vaguely smelled a fishy smell.
Rage instantly burned, violent fury once again making Tang San raise his right hand. But at this moment, in the world’s most vulgar event, a voice like that of the vulgar Spirit Master Bu Le Tang San once met echoed,
