Tang San's Mind Collapses, Sea God's Image Crumbles!

Jialing Pass, Shrek camp.

"Buddha Wrath Tang Lotus? What is this thing?"

Ma Hongjun scratched his head, his face full of confusion.

"Judging by the name, does it sound like a plant-type martial soul?" Oscar guessed.

"That's not right. The reason for its ranking says it's forged from exotic iron, so it should be a weapon."

Ning Rongrong analyzed, then looked at Tang San, "Third Brother, is this your creation?"

Everyone's gaze converged on Tang San in unison.

Tang San's brows furrowed slightly.

The Buddha Wrath Tang Lotus only ranked tenth?

This was the pinnacle hidden weapon of the Tang Sect from his previous life, the supreme masterpiece he had risked his life and betrayed his sect to recreate!

In Tang San's heart, its status was no less than that of a divine artifact!

Yet now, it was only ranked tenth?

However, when he saw the curious and admiring gazes of the others, the slight displeasure in his heart vanished instantly, replaced by a sense of pride that welled up from within.

He straightened his back, a mysterious smile appearing on his face.

"That's right, the Buddha Wrath Tang Lotus is mine."

"It is a type of hidden weapon, the strongest area-of-effect hidden weapon that only I can manufacture."

"Wow! Third Brother, you are just too amazing!"

"A rare treasure recognized even by the Heavenly Dao, and you made it with your own hands!"

"Below the god-level, to touch it is to die! My god, this power is too terrifying!"

The members of Shrek exclaimed one after another, their admiration for Tang San reaching a new height.

Listening to the praise in his ears, the smile on Tang San's face deepened.

Recognized by the Heavenly Dao!

That's right, this is the Heavenly Dao's recognition of me!

I, Tang San, whether in my past life or this one, am the top genius!

At the same time, atop the city walls of Jialing Pass.

The several Worships of the Martial Soul Hall also looked at each other, their faces full of doubt.

"Buddha Wrath Tang Lotus? Have any of you heard of this object?"

Second Worship Golden Crocodile Douluo looked at the people beside him. He had lived for hundreds of years and considered himself well-informed, yet he had never heard of this name.

The other Worships also shook their heads one after another.

"Never heard of it."

"This boy Tang San has strange methods; we must be on guard."

Just as everyone was discussing it, the image on the Golden Ranking in the sky changed again.

Lines of small text began to elaborate on the origin of the Buddha Wrath Tang Lotus in detail.

[Buddha Wrath Tang Lotus, originating from a top-tier sect in another world—the Tang Sect!]

[This object is the Tang Sect's strongest mechanical hidden weapon. The manufacturing method has long been lost, and the blueprints are merely legendary.]

As soon as these words appeared, the entire Douluo Continent erupted!

Another world?

What is meant by another world?

Could it be that besides our world, other worlds exist?

A top-tier sect, the Tang Sect?

It sounds truly extraordinary!

On the side of Shrek Academy, everyone looked at Tang San in even greater shock.

In Tang San's heart, however, a foreboding premonition suddenly arose.

The Heavenly Dao ranking, why must it be so detailed?

Before he could figure it out, the image on the Golden Ranking in the sky shifted, and a scene began to emerge.

Following it was the grand, emotionless voice of the Great Dao.

[Tang Sect outer sect disciple Tang San, possessing brilliant talent, stole the supreme inner sect secret manual Mysterious Heaven Treasure Record. Exhausting his life's energy, he successfully recreated three Buddha Wrath Tang Lotuses, their power earth-shattering!]

Boom!

These words exploded in the ears of everyone from Shrek like a thunderclap.

For Tang San himself, it was no less than a bolt from the blue!

His face turned deathly pale in an instant!

Stolen learning!

The Heavenly Dao Gold Ranking had actually used the words "stolen learning"!

These two words pierced the deepest scar in Tang San's heart!

No!

I am not wrong!

Those old stubborn fools of the Tang Sect were set in their ways, sitting on a mountain of treasure without realizing it, letting countless peerless arts gather dust!

I brought them to glory; what wrong is there in that?!

I am not wrong!

However, no one could hear the roar within his heart.

His companions beside him were looking at him with eyes mixed with confusion and inquiry.

"Tang Sect disciple Tang San?"

"Another Tang San?"

Dai Mubai muttered to himself, but quickly snapped back to reality, locking his gaze onto Tang San, "San, this..."

None of them were fools.

Another world, Tang Sect, Tang San, Buddha Wrath Tang Lotus...

Connecting all of this, and seeing the incredibly ugly expression on Tang San's face right now, the answer was already obvious.

"Brother San..."

Xiao Wu also tugged at the corner of Tang San's shirt in worry.

Tang San took a deep breath, preparing to speak and explain, ready to recite the story he had long since fabricated.

However, the Heavenly Dao Gold Ranking did not give him that chance at all!

The images on the sky screen became increasingly clear.

It was a world with a style vastly different from the Douluo Continent.

In the image, a youth dressed in grey hempen clothes was kneeling before a magnificent sect hall.

He was an orphan, taken in by the Tang Sect from infancy; it was the Tang Sect that had given him a new life.

The images flashed by rapidly.

In the dead of night, the youth would sneak into the library to flip through the inner sect secret manuals that an outer sect disciple was never meant to touch.

He forgot to eat and sleep, committing every peerless art to memory.

Finally, he arrived at the forbidden grounds of the Tang Sect, where he found the blueprints for the Buddha Wrath Tang Lotus.

The images on the sky screen continued.

The youth called Tang San, relying on the peerless skills he had stolen, rose to fame within the Tang Sect and was hailed as the most outstanding genius in two hundred years.

He restored the lost hidden weapons of the Tang Sect one by one, and even created exquisite items that even the elders had never seen before.

He should have been the future hope of the Tang Sect.

However, the truth was exposed.

Stealing inner sect secret manuals was the greatest crime of the Tang Sect.

"Tang San! The sect has treated you well; why would you commit such an act of rebellion!"

"Hand over the Mysterious Heaven Treasure Record and cripple your own martial arts, and perhaps your life may be spared!"

The youth Tang San in the image, facing the pursuit of the elders, fled all the way until he was forced to the peak of a sheer cliff.

That cliff was named Ghost Sorrow Cliff.

Enveloped in clouds and mist, it was bottomless.

The youth stood at the edge of the cliff, his clothes snapping in the gale. He held the three Buddha Wrath Tang Lotus he had replicated high in the air, his expression resolute and arrogant.

"I, Tang San, swear to the heavens that I have no heart to betray the sect!"

"I came to the Tang Sect not to steal anything, but to bring glory to the Tang Sect!"

"Now, I return everything I have to the Tang Sect!"

As his voice fell, he threw the Buddha Wrath Tang Lotus toward the elders, then leaped, throwing himself into the endless abyss without a moment's hesitation.

The image froze there.

No!

Impossible!

Inside the Jialing Pass encampment, Tang San shuddered violently, his entire body struck as if by lightning, freezing him in place.

The Heavenly Dao Gold Ranking... it had actually exposed the entirety of his past life to the world?!

He wanted to stop it, wanted to scream, wanted to tear that damned firmament to shreds.

But he could not.

Tang San's complexion shifted from deathly pale to livid, then from livid to ashen.

He could clearly feel how complex the gazes cast by his companions beside him had become.

He was finished.

His "magnificent and righteous" image had completely collapsed in this very moment!
