Tang San's face was filled with shock.
He had never expected a mere mortal object to be capable of sealing a strand of his divine consciousness.
With Ling Xiao's thunder empowering its sealing laws, the God-Sealing Platform firmly locked Tang San's divine consciousness inside.
However...
The God-Sealing Platform was merely a mortal creation.
No matter how powerful a ninth-grade Soul Tool was, it was still something made by mortals.
Its power was clearly insufficient to seal a strand of God-King-level divine consciousness.
And Tang San thought so as well.
"A mere mortal creation thinks it can trap a God-King-level powerhouse?"
Tang San began wildly striking from within, attempting to break the seal from inside the God-Sealing Platform.
In the blink of an eye, the formation patterns on its surface gradually began to crack.
At this rate, Tang San's divine consciousness would break free before long.
However, Ling Xiao had never intended to use the God-Sealing Platform to keep Tang San trapped forever.
The God-Sealing Platform was merely a tool to restrain him. What would truly deal with Tang San was Ling Xiao's thunder.
Ling Xiao directly invoked the Thunder Origin.
Countless bolts of purple heavenly lightning gathered from the Thunder Domain into his palm, then surged along the formation patterns and poured straight into the God-Sealing Platform.
"Rumble—!"
The lightning subjected the divine consciousness inside the God-Sealing Platform to torment that pierced every inch of its body.
Heavenly lightning raged madly within the God-Sealing Platform, engulfing Tang San in a sea of lightning.
Carrying a trace of righteous heavenly might, the lightning relentlessly judged Tang San's divine consciousness.
Under the bombardment of heavenly lightning, Tang San's divine consciousness trembled all over, even his mouth shaking.
"Uh... uh... uh..."
"Uh... uh... oh... oh..."
He had wanted to use the power of his divine consciousness to forcibly break through the God-Sealing Platform's seal.
But the unceasing bombardment of heavenly lightning made it impossible for his divine consciousness to gather any strength.
Whenever he tried to concentrate his power, the lightning scattered the strength he had just assembled.
The seal that he could originally have broken with ease became a cage under the enhancement of heavenly lightning.
Tang San could only remain within the God-Sealing Platform, suffering the torment and agony brought by countless bolts of heavenly lightning.
"Damn it!"
Tang San's voice came from within, filled with fury and unwillingness.
He was the Sea God and Asura God, the only God-King with twin divine positions. Yet he had been trapped inside a mortal creation by a mortal soul beast?
This was simply the greatest humiliation.
Yet no matter how he struggled, he could not break free from the blockade of heavenly lightning.
The power of Ling Xiao's Thunder Origin.
It came from the primordial source at the beginning of heaven and earth, and it had a special suppressive effect on his divine consciousness.
When they saw Tang San sealed away, the Immortal Herbs instantly felt as though the sky had collapsed.
They had thought the Sea God had come to save them, but they never could have expected this.
The Sea God had actually lost.
And he had lost so quickly.
From Tang San's appearance to his sealing, not even the time it took to burn an incense stick had passed.
Jiao Jiao's flames went out completely. She slumped into the Fire Spring, her entire plant wilting as if she would never see hope again.
"Sea... Sea God..."
Jiao Jiao's body trembled. Her leaves withered, and her petals clamped tightly shut.
The other Immortal Herbs wailed as well. Their final hope had completely shattered.
Ling Xiao slowly withdrew the Thunder Domain and turned to look at the trembling Immortal Herbs.
"Alright."
Ling Xiao's tone returned to normal. "Now then, does anyone still have any objections?"
A deathly silence fell over the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well. Not a single Immortal Herb dared make a sound.
At the same time.
God Realm.
Sea God Hall.
Tang San sat crouched on his divine throne, and his tightly shut eyes snapped open.
A streak of blood seeped from the corner of his mouth, the consequence of backlash from his divine consciousness.
Not only had his divine consciousness been sealed, it was also being continuously tortured by heavenly lightning.
Tang San slowly opened his eyes, the killing intent in their depths utterly undisguised.
"A few mere soul beasts... and they dare touch this God-King's divine consciousness?"
"Those three beasts have earned themselves death!"
Anger rose in his heart, but even more than that was the humiliation of losing face.
He was the Sea God and Asura God, the only God-King in the God Realm with twin divine positions.
Yet a strand of his divine consciousness had actually been defeated by three mortal soul beasts?
If word of this got out, where would Tang San put his face?
Tang San had initially wanted to seek revenge.
He wanted to split off more divine consciousness, or even descend to the lower realm himself and grind those soul beasts into dust.
But just then, a familiar aura came from afar.
Tang San's pupils suddenly contracted.
"Damn it!"
"Why is Destruction coming over now?!"
Gritting his teeth, Tang San hardened his heart and directly severed his connection to that strand of divine consciousness.
A figure appeared at the doorway.
He radiated a heart-palpitating aura, as though everything around him would turn to ruins wherever he went.
Destruction God-King.
One of the five great God-Kings of the God Realm.
Destruction God-King strode into the Sea God Hall, his dark red eyes fixed firmly on Tang San.
He questioned Tang San.
"Tang San!"
"Were you interfering with the lower realm again? Do you intend to violate the God Realm's rules?"
The air froze at that instant, and Tang San's expression stiffened slightly.
It was only for a brief moment.
Tang San soon regained his usual composure, a gentle smile even appearing at the corners of his lips.
"Destruction, what are you talking about?"
"Xiao Qi went to the lower realm because she was feeling playful. I merely took a look at Xiao Qi."
"That doesn't count as interfering with the lower realm, does it?"
Tang San smiled harmlessly, though an imperceptible chill flashed deep in his eyes.
Destruction God-King looked coldly at Tang San, judging whether what he said was true.
Meanwhile, Tang San was also judging how much Destruction God-King knew of his plans.
Their gazes met in the air, and the atmosphere became tense to the extreme.
With no concrete evidence, Destruction God-King could only let the matter drop in the end.
"Tang San, you'd better watch yourself. Don't let me catch you interfering with the lower realm!"
With that, Destruction God-King could only flick his sleeve and leave.
Once Destruction God-King had completely gone far away, Tang San immediately spat out a mouthful of blood.
"Puh—!"
Tang San's face abruptly turned pale.
To prevent Destruction from noticing anything, he could only sever that strand of divine consciousness in his haste.
Severing divine consciousness inflicted far greater damage on the main body than allowing a strand of divine consciousness to be tortured by heavenly lightning.
Tang San wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and a trace of extreme fury flashed through his eyes.
At this moment, Tang San knew perfectly well that Destruction must have noticed something.
That old bastard was extremely sharp. His abnormality just now could not possibly have been completely hidden from him.
Therefore, for the near future, he had better not do anything at all.
His grand plan of ten thousand years had yet to be completed.
Controlling the fate of the Douluo Plane and plundering the fortune of the soul beast race—Destruction could not be allowed to discover these plans. Before the grand plan was complete, he had to endure.
"I'll let you go for now. Once I complete my grand plan, not one of you will escape."
On the Douluo Continent.
Within the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.
Ling Xiao stood beside the God-Sealing Platform, carefully observing the situation inside it.
After Tang San severed his connection to his divine consciousness, an abnormality appeared within the God-Sealing Platform.
The divine consciousness had weakened too suddenly.
It did not seem as though it had been worn away by his heavenly lightning. It was more like Tang San had actively severed it himself.
Thus, Ling Xiao began sensing the God-Sealing Platform, wanting to see what had happened to the divine consciousness.
However...
It would have been fine if Ling Xiao had not investigated, but the moment he did, he discovered a great secret.
A secret that left him dumbfounded and instantly overturned his entire worldview.
The pure and spotless Tang God-King actually...
Shat himself!
