Slandering the Sea God, Are You Trying to Die?!

If that senior were to intervene...

No.

Qian Renxue quickly shook her head, casting the thought from her mind.

Pinning her hopes on others was not her style.

"Tang San..."

Qian Renxue's golden eyes gazed into the distance, her fighting spirit surging.

"As fellow gods, I am not weaker than you!"

The joint camp of the Heaven Dou Empire and the Star Luo Empire.

The atmosphere had long since shifted from initial scorn and disdain to extreme envy and fanaticism.

"A divine artifact! Heavens! It actually rewarded a divine artifact directly!"

Ning Fengzhi, Sect Master of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, trembled with excitement as he watched the pillar of light connecting heaven and earth in the sky.

"Sect Master, we... we truly bet on the right side this time!"

Beside him, Sword Douluo Chen Xin's tone was equally filled with shock.

Around them, the various sect forces that had originally been attached to the two great empires and had now chosen to ally with Tang San all wore expressions of relief, as if they had survived a great disaster.

When the Golden List had previously exposed Tang San's past actions, it wasn't as if their hearts hadn't wavered.

After all, following a man who was ungrateful and had stolen sect secrets would not sound good if word got out.

But now!

All that wavering had vanished into thin air!

In its place was incomparable confidence!

"Lord Tang San... no, Lord Sea God already possesses an extraordinary divine artifact like the Sea God Trident, and now he has obtained another divine artifact of slaughter bestowed by the Heavenly Dao!"

"What can Martial Soul Hall possibly use to stop him?"

"Indeed! The Sea God Trident is a true super divine artifact; it might even be the number one item on this Rare Treasures List!"

"Martial Soul Hall is doomed! This battle is in the bag!"

The crowd discussed fervently, their eyes filled with awe and fanaticism as they looked toward the direction of the Shrek Academy camp.

In front of the Shrek Academy tents.

Dai Mubai, Ma Hongjun, and the others were so envious their eyes were turning red.

"Damn! A divine artifact! Third Brother, your luck is simply heaven-defying!"

Ma Hongjun was practically drooling.

"Although some irrelevant past events were exposed, these rewards are the real deal!"

Dai Mubai patted Tang San's shoulder heavily, his expression agitated.

"That's right! Third Brother already has the Sea God Trident, and this Buddha Wrath Tang Lotus evolving into a divine artifact is like adding wings to a tiger! Let's see how Qian Renxue can be arrogant now!"

The group chattered incessantly, their praises ringing out without end.

Listening to his companions' flattery and feeling the connection to the newborn lotus within his body, Tang San's self-confidence swelled to its peak.

Number one?

His lips moved slightly, revealing a proud smile.

The Sea God Trident might not be number one, but so what?

Don't forget, Tang San thought to himself, hidden within my body is a true supreme weapon of slaughter!

The Asura Magic Sword!

I, Tang San, will likely sweep the top two spots on this Rare Treasures List!

Just as everyone was lost in their own thoughts, the golden pillar of light that connected heaven and earth above the firmament finally began to slowly dissipate.

As the radiance faded.

A brand-new lotus flower floated quietly above Tang San's palm.

Its entire body was a dark gold color, and its twelve petals were covered in complex and profound patterns, each one seeming to expound the true essence of destruction.

An indescribable, terrifying aura permeated from the lotus.

It was not merely a fluctuation of energy, but a power of laws on a higher level!

Destruction, withering, the end!

Merely looking at it felt like witnessing the final destination of all things as they headed toward extinction.

"So... so terrifying!"

Dai Mubai and the others standing nearest felt their very souls trembling, unable to stop themselves from retreating again and again.

Tang San, however, held it as if it were the most beautiful treasure in the world, his face filled with obsession and ecstasy.

He could clearly feel that this brand-new Buddha Wrath Tang Lotus contained power sufficient to truly damage the origin of a god!

One strike!

Perhaps only one strike was needed!

It could wipe the sturdy walls of Jialing Pass, along with Qian Renxue atop the watchtower, from this world entirely!

"Haha... Hahahaha!"

Tang San could no longer suppress the wild joy in his heart and threw his head back in laughter.

"Qian Renxue! Bibi Dong!"

"Your death has arrived!"

Previously, although he was also a deity, he had not been ten-tenths certain he could thoroughly kill Qian Renxue and destroy the deeply rooted Martial Soul Empire.

But now, with this Heavenly Dao divine artifact, everything was different!

He had absolute confidence that one battle would settle the fate of the world!

"Third Brother is mighty!"

"Lord Sea God is invincible!"

Seeing this, Ma Hongjun and the others also raised their arms and cheered, each of them flushed with excitement.

Regardless of Tang San's character, as long as he could lead them to destroy Martial Soul Hall, he was their savior!

The future of the continent would be written by them!

Tang San slowly reined in his laughter, his gaze sweeping disdainfully over the excited crowd before him, and finally, he cast his eyes toward the brightly lit Jialing Pass, his eyes baring naked killing intent.

He raised his hand high, his voice carrying across the entire allied camp.

"All troops, hear my command!"

"March!"

"Trample Jialing Pass, destroy Martial Soul Hall!"

"Rumble—!"

Following Tang San's order, the allied forces of the Heaven Dou and Star Luo empires surged toward Jialing Pass like a floodgate bursting open.

The earth trembled under iron hooves, and the killing intent soared to the heavens.

However, within this fanatical torrent, some discordant whispers were mixed in.

"Brother, tell me... after Martial Soul Hall is destroyed, will we still get any benefits?"

A spirit master who had joined the allied forces not long ago asked his companion in a low voice.

"Back when we were under Martial Soul Hall, we could collect a sum of Gold Soul Coins every month, along with subsidies for cultivation resources."

His companion's face flashed with a hint of hesitation upon hearing this.

"Yeah, Martial Soul Hall was overbearing, but the benefits they provided were truly beyond reproach. If this changes to the two empires... will those nobles be willing to share the spoils with us commoner spirit masters?"

These words caused a small stir in the surrounding area.

For many low-level spirit masters, who ruled the continent was not important; what mattered were their own personal interests.

"Shut your mouths!"

A spirit master who appeared to be a squad leader barked.

"Short-sighted! With Lord Sea God here, the days ahead will only be better than before! Lord Sea God cares for the world; how can those selfish, self-interested fellows from Martial Soul Hall compare?"

Hearing this, the crowd dared not say another word.

But the seeds of doubt had already been quietly sown.

Just then, another ill-timed voice rang out.

"But... didn't the Golden Ranking Inventory say that Lord Sea God, in his past life..."

Before the words could finish, the expressions of everyone nearby changed.

The squad leader whipped his head around, staring fiercely at the man who had spoken.

"Do you want to die?!"

"Is the past of Lord Sea God something you are allowed to discuss?!"

The spirit master shuddered in fear, instantly falling silent, not daring to utter another word.

The atmosphere within the ranks suddenly turned rather strange.
