Tang Chen Searches for Ah Yin, Mother!

"Senior Chen Xin was already at the peak of Level 97. If he rose another level, wouldn't that make him... a Level 98 Super Douluo?!"

"Just one step away from the legendary Level 99 limit Douluo!"

"Martial Soul Evolution! The Seven Kill Sword was already the continent's finest Tool Martial Soul. How terrifying would it be after evolving? Wouldn't it become the number one Tool Martial Soul in the world?"

"And a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone! The Great Dao Golden Ranking was being incredibly generous!"

The Shrek Members were also stunned by the incomparably lavish rewards.

Ning Rongrong cried with joy, her pretty face flushed red with excitement. She was sincerely happy for her Grandpa Sword.

"Wonderful! This is wonderful! Grandpa Sword, he..."

Everyone offered her their congratulations.

"Rongrong, congratulations!"

"Senior Sword Douluo is going to be invincible now!"

Tang San looked up at the heavens, his heart equally turbulent.

Even as a Deity, he could not bestow such rewards.

Raising a Titled Douluo's level out of thin air and even causing a top-tier Martial Soul to evolve... just what sort of supreme existence stood behind this Great Dao Golden Ranking?

He knew full well that this reward meant more to Chen Xin than merely an increase in strength.

It had opened a door leading to an even higher realm.

"With this opportunity, Senior Chen Xin may truly have a chance to reach the realm of a limit Douluo in the future."

Tang San spoke softly.

Dai Mubai and the others all revealed looks of envy upon hearing this.

They all understood that such an opportunity meant ascending to the heavens in a single step for any Spirit Master.

In stark contrast to Heaven Dou Empire's wild jubilation, the Spirit Hall Empire camp at Jialing Pass was shrouded in gloom.

"How could this be?! The reward was actually this terrifying!"

Golden Crocodile Douluo's aged face was filled with gravity.

"A Level 98 Chen Xin, coupled with the Evolved Seven Kill Sword... this man will become a grave threat to our Spirit Hall!"

The other Venerables wore equally unpleasant expressions.

A Level 97 Chen Xin had already been exceedingly difficult to deal with. Now that he had become a Level 98 whose strength had soared, the balance of the battle had undoubtedly shifted.

On the city wall, Qian Renxue wore a magnificent long golden armored dress that perfectly outlined her flawless figure.

She stood quietly, like a sacred and inviolable goddess.

The breeze swept past, lifting her silky golden hair. Yet her exquisitely beautiful face, enough to take one's breath away, wore a slight frown.

Her long, straight, breathtakingly beautiful legs, made even more striking by the golden hem of her dress, shifted slightly, revealing the unrest in her heart.

As the Angel God, she was not worried about a Level 98 Chen Xin.

No matter how strong mortals were, they were still ants before a God.

What truly concerned her was the name at the top of the ranking.

Tang San.

Now that both she and Tang San had become Gods, she was not absolutely certain she could defeat him.

If Tang San were to receive a Heaven-Defying Reward from this Golden Ranking as well...

Then Spirit Hall's future would likely be left without even a sliver of hope.

At that thought, a trace of relief rose in Qian Renxue's heart.

"Fortunately... my Husband is still in the Star Dou Great Forest. That is the safest place on the continent."

She silently thought of the figure she longed for day and night.

Although Tang Chen was a Spirit Beast, she believed that with his strength, no one could harm him.

It was Tang San and those people instead...

A trace of disgust flashed in Qian Renxue's eyes.

They were always preaching righteousness and morality, acting as though they were the embodiment of justice.

But if they learned of her Husband's existence, learned the value of a Million Year Spirit Beast, they would likely reveal the greedy fangs beneath their hypocritical masks without hesitation and attack him together.

"Husband, are you all right?"

She raised her head and looked towards the Star Dou Great Forest, her beautiful eyes filled with longing and worry.

At the same time.

Outside the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.

A figure appeared without warning in the dense forest beyond the mountain gate. Not even a ripple stirred in the space around him.

Tang Chen wore a green robe, his black hair falling over his shoulders. His indifferent gaze rested on the distant cluster of glazed-tile buildings being rebuilt amid the flames of war.

After more than ten years of secluded cultivation, the outside world had long since changed beyond recognition.

But he did not care.

He merely closed his eyes, and the sensation originating from the Primordial Blue Silver Bloodline became clearer than ever before.

That was right.

It was here.

That familiar yet heartbreaking aura was inside that sect.

"Ah Yin... is here."

Tang Chen opened his eyes. There was no joy at their long-awaited reunion in them; instead, a trace of displeasure flashed across them.

They actually dared imprison his mother, the previous Blue Silver Emperor, here.

An invisible aura, yet one sufficient to crush the eternal heavens, inadvertently leaked from inside his body.

In an instant, everything within a hundred miles fell deathly silent.

The disciples of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect guarding the area near the mountain gate, regardless of their cultivation, all went rigid at that moment.

The weapons in their hands clattered to the ground. Their legs trembled violently beyond their control, and the terror arising from the depths of their souls made even breathing difficult.

It was as though they were being suppressed by hundreds of millions of divine mountains, unable to muster even the slightest thought of resistance.

Inside the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's council hall.

Gu Rong patted Chen Xin on the shoulder and laughed heartily, his face full of envy.

"Old Monster, congratulations! You've truly stumbled into an enormous stroke of luck this time!"

"Level 98! And Martial Soul Evolution too! Tsk, tsk, reaching the limit Douluo realm in the future is just around the corner!"

Although Chen Xin appeared calm on the surface, the hand holding his sword trembled slightly with excitement.

He had pursued the sword all his life and had been stuck at Level 97 for many years. He had thought there was no hope for him in this lifetime.

Now, the Great Dao Golden Ranking had bestowed this opportunity upon him, allowing him to glimpse the dawn of the supreme Sword Dao.

However, at that very moment.

Terrifying Pressure, like a Heavenly River Pouring Down, instantly enveloped the entire hall.

Gu Rong's laughter came to an abrupt halt.

The excitement and fighting spirit in Chen Xin's eyes were also instantly extinguished as though drenched in icy water.

Both men's expressions changed drastically!

Before that aura, they felt as insignificant as dust. It was an absolute suppression on the level of life itself, making them instinctively want to kneel and submit.

"W-Who is it?!"

Gu Rong's voice trembled. He had never felt such a terrifying aura before; not even when facing Sea God Tang San had he ever experienced such helplessness.

Chen Xin took a deep breath and forcibly suppressed the instinctive fear in his heart as the Soul Power inside his body circulated madly.

Facing the empty space Outside the Great Hall, he spoke in a deep voice, though it was somewhat hoarse from extreme tension.

"May I ask which Senior has come to our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect?"

"This junior is Chen Xin. May I ask how our sect has offended Senior?"

After speaking, he paused and brought out his greatest trump card.

"Please make it clear, Senior. Our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect is under the protection of His Excellency Sea God Tang San. If there is any misunderstanding, I hope Senior will show regard for His Excellency Sea God and refrain from acting rashly!"
