With murderous intent surging in Tang San's heart, the images replaying on the Heavenly Vault Golden List finally began to fade.
The entire continent held its breath.
Here it came!
The tally was over. Next came the reward ceremony everyone had been eagerly awaiting!
Everyone's eyes were fixed on the sky.
The sixth-ranked Rakshasa Demon Scythe had been upgraded to a Super Divine Artifact.
What astonishing reward would the fifth-ranked Sea God Trident receive?
Jialing Pass, atop the city wall.
A hint of curiosity and solemnity showed in Bibi Dong's eyes.
She had just experienced the terror of the Heavenly Dao's reward firsthand and knew how heaven-defying this opportunity was.
Tang San's enhancement would certainly be no weaker than hers!
That meant the Spirit Hall's crisis had not passed. If anything, it might become even more severe.
A thread of worry crept into her heart.
But when her gaze inadvertently fell on the figure reclining in a chair, that worry miraculously faded.
In its place came a sense of reassurance from the depths of her soul.
Qian Ye's strength was unfathomable.
Who was he, really?
The previous generation's Angel God?
The thought flashed through Bibi Dong's mind, but she quickly pushed it aside.
There was no point thinking about that now.
The urgent matter was dealing with the trouble right in front of her.
An idea gradually took shape in Bibi Dong's mind.
Perhaps I can defeat Tang San myself after he receives his reward!
That way, she could restore the prestige of the Rakshasa God and completely wash away the damage the ranking had done to her reputation.
More importantly, she could make Qian Renxue—and her mysterious master—lower their guard around her!
That was right. Tang San's Divine Artifact ranked higher than hers.
But that didn't mean he was necessarily stronger than her!
At the thought, a confident smile blossomed on Bibi Dong's face. She looked toward the Allied Forces Camp where Tang San was, her eyes brimming with fighting spirit.
At that very moment!
The Heavenly Vault Golden List blazed with divine light!
A line of vast golden characters stretched across the sky, each one imbued with boundless majesty!
[Heavenly Vault Rare Treasures List, Fifth Place: Sea God Trident!]
[Owner: Sea God Tang San!]
[Heavenly Dao rewards:]
[One: The rank of the owner's Sea God Godhood will be raised!]
[Two: The Sea God Trident will be upgraded to a Super Divine Artifact!]
Boom!!!
The instant the rewards were announced, the entire Douluo Continent erupted!
[My heavens! The rank of his Godhood is being raised? What does that even mean?]
[It directly enhances the foundation of a god! This reward is terrifying!]
Another Super Divine Artifact! Is the Heavenly Dao handing them out wholesale?
[Now Tang San's going to defy the heavens! The Spirit Hall is doomed!]
The barrage was filled with shock.
Everyone was utterly stunned by the Heavenly Dao's extravagant rewards.
Above Shrek Academy's tent—
"Rumble!"
A thick pillar of azure divine light tore through the clouds and crashed down from the heavens, instantly enveloping Tang San!
"Ah—!"
Tang San let out an uncontrollable roar, his voice filled with overwhelming pleasure and excitement!
He could clearly feel his divine soul, divine body, and divine power surging at an astonishing rate!
The very essence of his Sea God Godhood was undergoing a world-shaking transformation!
At the same time, the Sea God Trident in his hand began to hum within the divine light!
Complex, profound golden divine patterns appeared out of thin air across its ancient shaft, and a terrifying aura far more powerful than before burst forth!
A Super Divine Artifact!
This was the power of a Super Divine Artifact!
After a long while, the pillar of light slowly faded.
Tang San appeared before everyone once more.
He hovered silently in midair, divine light flowing around him. His aura stood firm as a mountain, and when his eyes opened and closed, it was as though stars were appearing and vanishing.
He savored the surging power inside him, so overwhelming it seemed about to spill out. A sense of strength unlike anything he had ever known filled his mind.
He was terrifyingly strong now!
"Third Brother!"
"Sea God!"
Below, the people of Shrek Academy erupted in thunderous cheers, every face brimming with joy and reverence.
Hearing their cries, Tang San stood proudly in the air and looked down toward Jialing Pass, his gaze imperious.
Qian Renxue!
This time, I won't lose to you again!
Today will be the day you die!
He slowly descended. His voice was not loud, yet everyone heard him clearly.
"I'm going to Jialing Pass now. I'll cut off Qian Renxue's head and sever one of the Spirit Hall's arms!"
"Third Brother is invincible!"
Ma Hongjun was the first to jump in, flattering him with an ingratiating smile.
"Qian Renxue is nothing but a chicken or a dog before Third Brother now!"
Then his tone shifted, and his face took on an eager, anxious look.
"By the way, Third Brother, Xiangxiang has been missing for so long, and there's still no news of her. I'm afraid the Spirit Hall captured her."
"When you go this time, could you bring her back too?"
Ma Hongjun rubbed his hands together, a leering grin spreading across his face.
"Heh heh, once my Third Brother saves her in a glorious display of divine power, she definitely won't reject me again!"
Hearing this, Tang San smiled confidently.
"Don't worry."
His gaze swept over the others, brimming with confidence.
"The Spirit Hall is nothing to me now. I could walk in as if no one were there!"
"Wait here. I'll be right back!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Tang San turned into a streak of azure light and shot into the sky, carrying an aura capable of destroying heaven and earth as he headed straight for Jialing Pass!
He didn't even give the others from Shrek Academy time to react.
In his eyes, this trip would be as easy as reaching into a bag to grab something.
Killing Qian Renxue, who had only recently become a god, and rescuing Bai Chenxiang, who couldn't fight her way out of a paper bag, would be child's play!
He would use the fastest and most shocking way possible to announce to the entire continent—
He, Tang San, was the true protagonist of this age!
"Third Brother is mighty!"
"Lord Sea God will triumph!"
Behind him, the Allied Forces Camp of the Heaven Dou Empire erupted in earth-shaking cheers.
Everyone watched the blue streak across the sky with an almost worshipful gaze.
Jialing Pass, atop the city wall.
The atmosphere was as heavy as iron.
The terrifying pressure brought by that streak of azure light made every Spirit Hall soldier on the wall feel a tightness in their chest and struggle to breathe.
"It's Tang San!"
"He's coming! He came alone!"
"Such a terrifying aura—is this the Sea God after his Godhood rank was raised?"
Panic spread through the crowd like a plague.
Bibi Dong's expression turned especially grave. She gripped the Rakshasa Demon Scythe tightly, purple divine power surging around her as she prepared to strike at any moment.
Although she wanted Qian Renxue to temper herself, she would never stand by and watch Qian Renxue fall into mortal peril.
