The Power of the Blue Silver Emperor

"You two certainly chose a timely moment to exit."

Tang San cracked his neck, a hint of coldness sharpening his gaze.

"I won't be holding back against him. At a time like this, only rigorous training will yield results!"

"Third Brother, you really are ruthless. But a ruthless man naturally has ruthless methods; I believe you can make him stronger."

Once Bibi Dong and Xiao Wu stepped aside, Tang San immediately unleashed the power of his second martial soul, the Blue Silver Emperor.

Such formidable power.

Although Lin Yi knew of Tang San's strength, this was his first time witnessing Third Brother utilize his second martial soul's Soul Power in such a manner, leaving him momentarily stunned.

However, Tang San was no pushover. His speed was immense; he surged directly in front of Lin Yi and, before Lin Yi could react, landed a punch squarely on his shoulder.

Even though they were within the Sea of Consciousness, the massive turbulence still caught Lin Yi off guard.

He dodged quickly, but before he could release his own soul skill, Tang San's trident was already thrusting toward him.

"Flying Dragon in the Sky!"

Lin Yi rapidly unleashed his soul skill, but Tang San trapped him within a Blue Silver Cage while simultaneously wielding the power of the Clear Sky Hammer.

"Thousand Pound Barrier!"

"Dragon Binding!"

The collision of their powers sparked like flint in the air, forming rings of light.

Yu Xiaogang watched the scene and nodded slightly.

He knew that when two genius-level figures clashed, it would inevitably elevate their respective strengths.

Moreover, Tang San was a Level 111 God; aside from the God of Destruction, no other god in the God Realm could compare to such power.

"What, is that all you've got?"

Tang San fixed his gaze on Lin Yi once more, his expression darkening.

"If you want to protect others, you must summon your perseverance. Simply upgrading your soul skills is useless. You've been to the Slaughter City, but haven't you felt that aside from gaining the Slaughter Domain, it hasn't had much effect?"

"I've found it strange as well."

Lin Yi looked back at him, his brows furrowed.

"Logically, I have already obtained the Power of the Killing God without losing my sanity, so why?"

"Because you lack the determination to win at all costs."

Tang San smiled faintly at him as he spoke.

"I have never once believed I would lose. Even when facing the God of Destruction, I always knew that even if it meant perishing together, I would not let him destroy the entire Douluo Continent."

So that was it.

Only then did Lin Yi realize that the difference between him and Tang San lay in their respective ambition regarding victory and defeat in battle.

Although he possessed great power, he had never considered how winning or losing would affect him, nor how great the threat was to those around him.

Clenching his fists tightly, Lin Yi's gaze became much more resolute.

"Come then. This time, I will not lose again."

Seeing that flicker of seriousness in his eyes, Tang San nodded gently.

"That's more like it. Then take this—Sea God Power!"

Tang San suddenly unleashed the Sea God Power. Lin Yi was caught off guard, sent flying back several hundred meters, his entire body numbed by the impact.

"Third Brother really is ruthless."

Xiao Wu watched from the side and couldn't help but smile.

"It's been a long time since I've seen him treat someone so seriously. If it weren't for the fact that we are truly in a crisis, I would have thought he held a grudge against Lin Yi."

"Xiao Wu."

Bibi Dong took her hand and shook her head. "Tang San has his reasons. We don't have much time left. If the God of Destruction acts prematurely, it won't just be us who die; I fear the rest of the non-soul masters in the Douluo World will also suffer because of his actions."

"I know that."

Xiao Wu narrowed her eyes, clenching her fists.

"I won't let the God of Destruction slaughter those innocent people! Da Ming and Er Ming are currently cultivating divine power as well. As soon as they pass the Trial of the Gods, I can bestow the power of the Asura God upon them. By then, I can continue to travel and train with Third Brother."

"You're going to give up your godhood?"

Bibi Dong was somewhat puzzled. "Given your strength, it wouldn't matter if you didn't give it up."

"No."

Xiao Wu shook her head gently. "If I don't give it up, I won't be able to wander the world with Third Brother. Compared to the God Realm, I prefer the freedom of the mortal world."

Wandering, huh.

Bibi Dong spoke slowly, "What you say is true. Life is short; if one cannot stay with their beloved, it truly is meaningless."

"Don't complain, you two."

Liu Erlong walked over with a faint smile. "At least our loved ones are still alive, aren't they? When that day finally comes, we will continue to protect each other, so life and death are nothing to fear."

"Indeed."

Tang Wutong and Huo Yuhao walked over as well, their eyes filled with unwavering resolve.

"No matter when it happens, we will stand with you through thick and thin."
