Battle Against Tang San's Divine Sense

"Snow Empress, take these dozens of Ice Swords."

Xia Liang took dozens of Ice Swords from the box and handed them to Little Snow Empress. After all, she currently had no suitable weapon, and it seemed that the Ice God had not left behind any divine artifacts.

"If your true body empowers the Ice Swords, each one should be able to unleash God-Level combat power. Next time someone comes looking to die, just stab them to death."

"Fine. With these, whoever comes next will die."

Little Snow Empress reached out and accepted the swords. Their hilts were icy to the touch, and the cold energy within blended with the power in her body. They were practically weapons made specifically for her.

Through the connection between her current body and true body, Little Snow Empress opened a spatial passage and transferred the Ice Swords away.

Outside, Wang Dong watched Huo Yuhao, who was sitting cross-legged on the bed and cultivating.

"Yuhao."

"Hm? What is it?"

Hearing Wang Dong's voice, Huo Yuhao stopped cultivating and opened his eyes toward Wang Dong's bed, meeting her pink-blue eyes.

"I feel like our martial souls are somehow connected."

Wang Dong looked at Huo Yuhao for a while before continuing. For some reason, she felt that her two martial souls had formed an inexplicable connection with Huo Yuhao's two martial souls.

"That doesn't seem possible."

Hearing Wang Dong say that their martial souls were connected, Huo Yuhao froze for a moment before replying.

If they were connected, he should have sensed it too. But the truth was that both his Spirit Eyes and Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion were perfectly quiet, without the slightest unusual fluctuation.

"Want to try?"

Wang Dong extended her hand. Looking at the hand before him, Huo Yuhao reached out as well.

He no longer seemed so resistant to merging Soul Power with Wang Dong.

The instant their hands touched, two high-dimensional powers erupted into conflict.

"Finally here. I thought that little bastard Tang San was more patient than this."

Xia Liang watched as the sea of spirit turned golden. This aura should be Tang San's power, channeled into Huo Yuhao through the mark on Wang Dong's head, using his close relative as a medium.

A steady voice echoed through the sea of spirit, carrying unquestionable authority and the condescending air of judgment.

Tang San?

Tang San? When Huo Yuhao heard that name, he froze, his pupils contracting slightly. Wasn't Tang San the name of the Tang Sect's ancestor?!

"You gods have used God-Level power in the mortal world and must be punished!"

The voice continued. Then, a force of restriction spread from its source, winding toward the depths of Huo Yuhao's sea of spirit like invisible chains.

The golden light grew even more brilliant. The outlines of those chains gradually appeared within the translucent spiritual space, each one tightening. Huo Yuhao felt as though his head were about to explode.

"Hmph."

An ultimate force of ice and snow and a sacred force of light erupted at the same time. Centered on his body, a dazzling beam shot into the sky from Shrek Academy's dormitory, piercing through the ceiling, the roof, and the night, soaring high into the air and illuminating the night sky for several miles around as brightly as day.

"This is?!"

Throughout Shrek Academy, several elders simultaneously opened their eyes from meditation. Seeing the color and form of that beam, they dropped their teacups, books, and Soul Tools.

Sea God's Light! The Sea God has manifested!!!!

At this moment, the two powers continuously merged within Huo Yuhao's body.

However, Xia Liang swiftly activated spatial authority and moved the battlefield elsewhere.

This place lay within the gap between spaces, temporarily created by Xia Liang and capable of supporting a certain degree of God-Level combat.

"How is this possible?"

For the first time, Tang San's voice wavered.

He looked around. This space was gray-white and empty, with no point of reference between heaven and earth. Only a faint layer of gray mist slowly drifted along its edges.

What was this place?

He had originally planned to resolve the battle within Huo Yuhao's sea of spirit and casually imprint a God King mark there, yet he had been forcibly dragged here. His brows furrowed.

This is troublesome...

The Tang San here was a divine-sense avatar, with strength only at the peak of a Second-Level God. To avoid being discovered by the God of Destruction, this divine soul could not even contact his true body.

At that moment, Snow Empress's true body tore through space and arrived, radiating the power of a Second-Level God. Before fully mastering her divine position, this was already the limit of her current strength.

The Ice God's aura...

Tang San sensed that something was wrong. Why had the Ice God come too?

If they were two foreign gods, they would be easy to deal with. After all, they were not in the Divine Realm's records. But the Ice God was different. She was recorded in the Divine Realm and was even a First-Level God. If he wanted to suppress her, he had to report it to the Divine Realm Committee for a decision.

If Tang San killed the Ice God here, it would be easy for God of Destruction to seize upon it and shatter his image as a loving god and devoted husband.

I should never have revealed my name. Tang San secretly regretted it. If he had come while concealing his aura, killing the Ice God would not have mattered. After all, he could have blamed it on a god wanted by the Divine Realm.

But now, he could not...

Looking at Electrolux and the Ice God's inheritor before him, Tang San felt a headache coming on.

Tang San's brow furrowed ever tighter. There had already been far too many troubling matters these past few days.

His father and mother had been thrown by that damned teleportation directly to the entrance of the Destruction Divine Hall. His scheme for the origin of Douluo Continent had nearly been exposed, and in the end, Tang Hao had voluntarily taken all the blame upon himself.

Tang San could only ruthlessly and impartially order his father's divine power crippled and have him thrown into the divine prison.

Although this preserved Tang San's reputation and position, the price was that the God of Destruction took the opportunity to revoke his authority to inspect the lower realm.

Now, if Tang San wanted to communicate with the lower realm, he could only do so through mediums such as the Clear Sky Sect, Sea God Island, and Shrek.

This time, he had accumulated power with the intention of eliminating these lower-realm gods in one stroke and preventing future trouble.

But now, it seemed that the power of a Second-Level God might not be enough to kill them all.

Tang San looked at Electrolux and Snow Empress, both God-Level, before him. With a thought, dark crimson Asura power rose around him, then surged and spread like blood mist set aflame.

His form became more solid within the red light. His blue divine robe was covered in scarlet, while fine armor plates emerged one after another along his pauldrons and breastplate, covering his upper body.

Asura God form, fully unleashed.

"Electrolux, Snow Empress, see if you can keep this fragment of his divine sense here."

Xia Liang spoke, then slipped into the void to stabilize the space and prevent gods outside from noticing anything unusual.

"Then let this old man see just how strong this so-called god is."

Electrolux raised his staff, and a gentle ball of white light appeared at its tip. The light spread through the air, transforming into several intersecting arcs. The purifying aura unique to light magic flowed within them, and wherever it passed, even the dark crimson Asura aura around Tang San was suppressed into retracting slightly.

"Emperor's Winter Domain!"

Snow Empress did not hold back either. The cold around her suddenly expanded outward, and a translucent icy halo burst from her body. The temperature plummeted as moisture in the air instantly condensed into fine ice crystals, floating between the two sides like countless silver-white motes of light.

Sensing the suppression of ice and light, Tang San frowned. The strength of these two gods had already exceeded his expectations.

There was no need to mention the Ice God. It was understandable for her to erupt with the strength of a Second-Level God. But why was this foreign god at the peak of a Third-Level God?

Previously, Tang Hao had investigated Xia Liang and Electrolux. At that time, neither had been in peak condition. Xia Liang's strength had been marked as that of a Second-Level God, while Electrolux had been classified as a mortal. Even if he recovered, he should have only barely reached the level of a Divine Official.

But now, Electrolux had reached the level of a Third-Level God and was even approaching the power of a Second-Level God.

Troublesome.

Thinking so, Tang San gathered Asura divine power and began suppressing the two of them. Dark blood-red Asura aura condensed into dozens of flying swords and shot directly toward Snow Empress and Electrolux.

"Snow Empress, take the offensive."

Electrolux spoke as the staff in his hand spun. Several Twilight Forest Shield Scepters flew out and formed shields around Snow Empress.

"Great Cold, No Snow!"

With Electrolux protecting her, Snow Empress did not evade the incoming Asura God Swords at all. Instead, she charged straight at Tang San.

Tang San waved his sleeve, and a barrier appeared before him, separating him from Snow Empress.

Crack—

Tang San had originally thought it would block Snow Empress's full-force strike, but the instant the barrier came into contact with that frigid current, frost rapidly spread across its surface. Then it cracked from the center and shattered completely with a crisp sound.

Looking at Snow Empress ahead, Tang San's eyes flashed with murderous intent as he condensed an Asura God Sword in his hand.

Forget it. I'll cripple her first. The Ice God has joined forces with a foreign god. That charge is enough for me to execute judgment before reporting it.

"Emperor's Sword!"

Seeing the blood-red longsword condense in Tang San's hand, Snow Empress refused to be outdone. The power of her domain gathered in her hand, forming an Ice Sword.

Clang—

As the two swords collided, cracks first appeared on Snow Empress's ice sword.

Seeing Snow Empress's Ice Sword shatter, Tang San curled his lips. He increased the force in his hand while attempting to persuade her to surrender.

"Ice God, stop being so stubborn. Submit to this God King, and I will help you restore your divine position. There is no need to slowly recover here on Douluo Continent. If you earn merit, I can help you step into the realm of a God King."

"No need. I can walk the path to becoming a God King myself."

Snow Empress refused directly. At the same time, the Ice God's divine position continuously transmitted a message.

The Asura God is lying!

An Asura God who had only reached the God King realm by inheriting a God King divine position dared claim he could help the Ice God become a God King? Who was he trying to fool?

"You don't know what's good for you."

Seeing Snow Empress refuse, Tang San unleashed Soul Power and swung his sword.

The Ice Sword shattered, and Snow Empress was sent flying hundreds of meters away.

Tang San prepared to pursue, but the instant he took a step forward, he sensed that something was wrong.

"Ice Extremity Unparalleled!"

Hundreds of Ice Swords immediately appeared around Tang San. With Xia Liang's current enhancement, every Ice Sword had been elevated to its utmost limit.

"I've been locked on."

Tang San could feel that he had been firmly locked onto, with no time to escape. Asura power covered his entire body.

The Ice Swords erupted, their cold light flashing as each sword unleashed all its power.

"Damn it!"

When the cold light faded, the Asura power protecting his body had been broken, and even the grim Asura Demon Armor was riddled with cracks.

"I can't hold back any longer."

Tang San had originally intended to preserve a trace of energy to deal with Xia Liang, but he had not expected these two to be so troublesome as well.

Tang San lightly tapped his forehead with his index finger. Within it were three strands of Asura Sword Aura, sword aura from his true body that possessed First-Level God-Level combat power.

"Using a super divine artifact? Can't afford to lose?"

Oh no!

Hearing the voice at his ear, Tang San's pupils contracted as he inwardly cried out in alarm.

The next second, he felt a heaviness in his chest. Looking down, he saw a black hand piercing straight through his torso.

Black hand! Heart rip!

Then, Xia Liang directly refined Tang San's divine sense, taking the original three strands of Asura Sword Aura for himself as well.

"Unfortunately, I couldn't injure his true body."

Xia Liang spoke. He had not sent Snow Empress and Electrolux to fight Tang San because he underestimated Tang San. Rather, with Electrolux and Snow Empress's current strength, dealing with Tang San in Asura God form was already extremely difficult.

Just now, he had been analyzing Tang San's divine sense from behind them, attempting to pass through the spatial barrier between Douluo Continent and the Divine Realm via that divine sense and deliver a devastating strike to Tang San's true body. Unfortunately, he had failed.

"Very strong."

Snow Empress lowered her head and looked at the wound carved by that strand of Asura aura. Tang San's true body truly deserved to be a God King. Even the divine sense he had split off was this powerful.

Unfortunately, if she had refined all the Ice Swords just now, their power might have been even greater.

"It seems we still have a long way to go."

Electrolux retrieved his various tools. These tools had mostly been corroded by Asura aura, which was perfect for studying it and seeing whether they could find a way to counter it.

If they encountered it again in the future, they would be prepared.

"Mm. Our situation is better than we expected. Let's head back first."

Xia Liang tore open space and left with Snow Empress and Electrolux. Without Xia Liang's support, this space would automatically dissipate after a few minutes.
