Tang San: What Does This Guy Take Me For?!
The Golden Soul Ring fully bloomed beneath Yin Hongye's feet. The light was not dazzling, but it carried an inescapable causal power, sweeping over the entire ruins like a tide.
Tang San's soul was locked onto by this light.
"What kind of Soul Skill is that?" Tang San's voice was hoarse, with unease hidden in his tone.
Yin Hongye did not answer. The light of the Soul Ring shimmered in his eyes as he searched through Tang San's past, through the ten-thousand-year legend of the Douluo Continent, through the clouds and temples of the Divine Realm.
He was stunned when he saw this. "You've set the location, haven't you? Do I look like someone I can beat?"
Is it right for me to fight the God King?
Finally, their gaze fell upon a small boat, where Tang San stood at the bow.
It seemed to be watching him from across time.
Unfortunately, he completely failed to realize that he had targeted the right person, but not someone from the same timeline.
"This sword will cut you down! Let's see if you can live!"
Yin Hongye gripped the sword, the Red Lotus Karmic Fire on its blade pulsating like veins.
The sword light sliced through the river of time, simultaneously striking both the present Tang San and another Tang San.
Tang San's cracked body suddenly froze. The sword was still dozens of feet away from him, but he felt as if his heart had been cleaved in two.
"No--!" Tang San's soul roared to the sky. He frantically urged the remaining Sea God's Power to try to stop it, but the power of this sword was far beyond his imagination.
"If you kill me, the Golden Dragon King will rage! You will be a sinner of the Douluo Continent!" he roared. "When my true form returns, I will surely kill you!"
"So what if you're here? Do you really think you're the Sea God? Sea God possessing innocent children? Have you no shame? You're just Evil God from the Holy Spirit Cult!"
Yin Hongye naturally recognized that this was the real Tang San. As for the Golden Dragon King crisis? What crisis? Didn't I remove the complete seal?
He suddenly sensed that outside Douluo Star, his Karmic Fire was still burning fiercely, which meant that Tang San was not dead!
Yin Hongye was no longer calm. "Could it be that Tang San intends to kill us at three different times? No wonder he called us Tang San! He wants to kill us three times!"
He now has two choices: one is to give Qian Renxue Di Qiuer the power to kill Tang San, which, from his perspective, would require at least two God King.
Second, he attacked Tang San from three different timelines at once.
He decisively chose the latter, keeping the former as a backup plan. In this world, the only person you can truly trust is yourself.
In this era there are no gods, only Yin Hongye.
There will be another day when I need to research new Soul Skill.
Yin Hongye looked at Tang Wulin and walked over step by step, preparing to obtain the Golden Dragon King's Divine Core.
Twenty Thousand Years Ago, on the sea off Sea God Island, a ship was cutting through the waves.
Tang San stood at the bow of the ship, the sea breeze filling his robes. He was looking down at a nautical chart, his eyes filled with excitement. Finally, he could see the island.
Once I set foot on Sea God Island and inherit the position of Sea God, I will settle accounts with every single one of the Sea Soul Master on the Douluo Continent.
Just then, the sky was suddenly torn apart.
A crimson sword light slashed down from beyond the Heavenly Screen, traversing time and space, and precisely locked onto Tang San.
Tang San didn't even have time to look up before he was instantly killed.
The waves surged, and the entire ship, from keel to mast, was cleaved in two by a single sword strike. Wood chips, canvas, and shattered planks exploded on the sea surface, like a blooming flower of death.
Tang San was split in two by the sword light, and his two halves fell into the surging waves, turning the seawater a dazzling red.
Although Ma Hongjun, Dai Mubai, and Zhu Zhuqing were not the direct targets, they were instantly blasted thousands of feet away by the surging waves and disappeared into the waves in the blink of an eye.
Their fate is unknown.
In the Divine Realm, the Asura God noticed Tang San's current state and his mouth was agape, wide enough to fit a Soul Cannon.
He remained silent for a long while before finally managing to squeeze out a sentence: "Whether Yin Hongye could be born 20,000 years earlier or not, do I even need to pick and choose? Besides, why did you have to go and grab the first kill!"
He looked around; none of the gods— the God of Destruction, the god of Evil God, or the Godess of Kindness— were watching him.
The Asura God flicked his finger silently, and a wisp of extremely thin, blood-red divine power passed through the clouds of the Divine Realm and silently entered the red-stained seawater.
The next moment, a faint golden light flashed, and Tang San's body reformed, though his face was slightly crooked, his essence had been cut in two, and the person who stitched it up was not careful.
This is what caused the situation.
In Holy Pillar Platform on Sea God Island, Tang San had just stood up. Before he could figure out why he was there, the sky above him suddenly lit up.
The phantom of Poseidon, the Sea God, slowly coalesced within the pillar of light.
A middle-aged man clad in azure armor, wielding Trident, with a dignified expression, surrounded by the Pure Blood Sea God's Light.
He didn't give Tang San any time to react, and gently tapped Tang San's brow with the tip of his halberd.
A golden mark of the Sea God fell from the tip of the halberd and was deeply imprinted on Tang San's forehead.
The Sea God's Nine Trials
Then it vanished instantly.
Tang San was completely unaware that Poseidon had revealed his location, and a group of people were coming to find him.
He now has to choose between a one-on-one fight and a group brawl.
Seeing the changes in the Sacred Pillar, Sea Dragon Douluo asked, "Should I bring him over?"
"I went there myself. His First Trial and Ninth Trial were really interesting. One involved him kissing his brother, and the other involved him defeating all the Sea Soul Master and Sea Soul Beast."
Bo Saixi knew the contents of Tang San's Divine Examination, but upon seeing this, she instantly realized that the Sea God had abandoned Tang San.
What psychological burden is there to bear?
Bo Saixi walked out step by step, preparing to torture and kill Tang San to vent her anger.
In the Heavenly Screen, Yin Hongye walked up to Tang Wulin. The boy's body was already shattered, his skin covered with golden cracks. The Golden Dragon King seal, which had lost Tang San's suppression, could no longer hold.
The raging energy of the Golden Dragon King, like a flood bursting its banks, tore the boy's tattered body to shreds. A dragon's roar resounded through the heavens and earth, and a giant golden dragon broke free from Tang Wulin's body, soaring straight into the sky.
His entire body was covered in dazzling dark gold scales, and his vertical pupils burned with deep red blood. He carried the rage of someone who had broken free from his seal.
With a flick of its tail, the clouds were torn to shreds, and the entire Skysea City trembled under the dragon's might. The rubble in the ruins vibrated and trembled from the dragon's roar.
Yin Hongye stood beneath the Golden Dragon King, looking up at the overwhelming golden dragon shadow that blotted out the sky. Compared to it, his figure was like an ant.
At this moment, the Golden Dragon King had already activated the Golden Dragon Frenzy Domain, unleashing terrifying destructive power that suppressed everything around him. The terrifying aura emanating from his body instilled fear in everyone present.
"This is the Golden Dragon King; it's not that difficult to deal with, is it?"
He already had a well-thought-out solution in mind: by Spiritual Retrospection Domain Tang Wulin's spiritual path according to the original story, he could solve the problem.
Let's go back to when the Golden Dragon King was still under the seal.
In that instant, the Golden Dragon King swooped down, its sky-covering claws carrying destructive power as they struck the Yin Hongye.
Wherever the dragon's claws passed, five dark, menacing cracks were torn in space.
Yin Hongye's figure flashed, and he moved dozens of feet horizontally in mid-air. The dragon claw grazed his afterimage and slammed into the ruins, smashing the ground into a huge crater several feet deep, sending rubble and dust billowing into the sky.
As the smoke and dust cleared, Yin Hongye stood before Tang Wulin. Yin Hongye's hand reached directly into Tang Wulin's chest, her eyes showing no pity whatsoever.
He precisely grasped the still-pulsating Golden Dragon King's Divine Core with his five fingers.
The core tentacle was scalding hot, and each pulse made his finger bones go numb. A heavy resentment was eroding his body.
The destructive urge mixed with Yin Hongye's own bloodlust, and he only felt a slight noise in his ears.
There was no response whatsoever.
"Now, I am the victor." He spread his five fingers, and his Eighth Soul Ring shone brightly once more.
