Inside Heaven Dou City.
The scene moved at lightning speed. Almost as soon as Qian Daoliu confirmed that no one in Heaven Dou City could save the Outer Realm Demonic Devil Tang San, he struck without hesitation.
A streak of golden light instantly pierced the clouds in the gloomy sky.
The next instant, an enormous angelic figure shrouded in golden light slowly took shape.
With six wings on her back, the angel slowly raised her hands before her.
Then came a long sigh.
"Sigh...!"
Golden feathers instantly scattered across the sky.
Meanwhile, inside Heaven Dou City.
At the sight of the scene that had suddenly appeared, Xue Ye could no longer sit still. Even Ning Fengzhi felt his scalp prickle in waves.
"This is bad. The Sky Painting exposing everything has appeared again."
"And this time, it isn't even pretending anymore. It directly declared Spirit Hall the righteous side and placed our Heaven Dou Empire on the Outer Realm Demonic Devil's side, binding us irrevocably to the Outer Realm Demonic Devil Tang San. It's shattered our plan to hedge our bets and slow Spirit Hall's advance."
"Your Majesty, this is bad! If Tang San dies, the harshest reckoning from Spirit Hall awaits us. They now stand on the side of absolute justice and righteousness. They certainly won't let such a perfect opportunity to strike at us slip away!!!"
Ning Fengzhi's scalp prickled in waves. He was practically falling apart.
After hearing Ning Fengzhi's explanation, Xue Ye could no longer sit still either.
He had only just managed to accept that his Heaven Dou Empire would splinter and perish ten thousand years later.
He had only just managed to accept the Outer Realm Demonic Devil Tang San's beguiling promise that the Heaven Dou Empire would return to the world under the name of Heaven Dou.
But he had yet to accept that the Heaven Dou Empire would be destroyed right now for protecting an Outer Realm Demonic Devil, or that the imperial Xue Family would lose its nation and have its bloodline wiped out at this very moment!
"Save Tang San at any cost!"
"Mobilize the army!!"
"Defend Heaven Dou City to the death!!!"
As the Heaven Dou Empire's great army appeared, and its Soul Masters attempted to save the Outer Realm Demonic Devil Tang San.
The dense mass of golden feathers in the sky instantly descended, as though someone were deliberately controlling and guiding them.
Every soldier and Soul Master of the Heaven Dou Empire touched by a golden feather spontaneously burst into flames the next instant.
"Aaargh!!!"
Heaven Dou City shattered in an instant.
An endless stream of Spirit Hall Soul Masters, commoner Soul Masters, and even the spontaneously formed Civilian Coalition, whose members were increasingly unwilling to live through the Dark Noble Era, surged inside.
The Moonlight Pavilion slowly collapsed.
Tang Yuehua watched the scene in horror.
"Second Brother!"
Watching the battle suddenly take a sharp turn for the worse in a mere instant, Tang Hao felt cold sweat bead thickly across his forehead.
A streak of golden light instantly descended from the sky, heading straight for Tang San inside the Moonlight Pavilion.
"This power... no... Little San!"
Tang Hao instantly transformed into a streak of light and rushed straight toward Tang San amid the crowd.
Amid the crowd.
Tang San raised his head blankly, watching the pillar of angelic light descend from the sky, and swallowed.
"I'm a level-seventeen One-Ring Soul Master, and you're making me fight Qian Daoliu, one of the Three Peerless, a level-ninety-nine Peerless Douluo, the Great Enshrined of the Angel Temple, and a Demigod???"
"No, is this right? Does this make any sense? What the fuck is this heaven-defying matchmaking system???"
"Dad, save me!!!"
At that critical moment, a figure instantly appeared before Tang San.
"Clear Sky True Body!!!"
At the highest point in Heaven Dou City, Mosheng Fei watched anxiously. Right now, he wanted nothing more than to kill Tang San.
"Damn it, damn it... why hasn't it arrived yet?"
"This shouldn't be happening. Did some invisible wall in the Douluo World swallow that sword strike?"
"Fuck, be a little more reliable!!!"
[The subordinates of the Outer Realm Demonic Devil Tang San resisted tenaciously. The righteous Spirit Hall already held an overwhelming advantage, and the situation became even more favorable after Qian Daoliu, the representative of the Angel Temple that safeguarded the continent, took action!]
The golden light instantly slammed into the enormous Clear Sky Hammer. The next instant, the hammer shattered with a thunderous crash, and half of Tang Hao's body melted away. But the angelic golden light did not stop pouring down. After passing through the melted half of his body, it was about to slam into what remained of him.
Fragments of Tang Hao's shattered Clear Sky Hammer scattered in all directions. On one fragment, the mark of Slaughter City's Divine Slaughter's Domain flickered faintly.
In Slaughter City, the site of the Asura God Inheritance, a towering figure enveloped in bloody energy suddenly opened his eyes.
"Why is finding an inheritor so troublesome?"
"I can't make it too obvious. How troublesome... wait, this aura...!!"
"Sea God, you can lead the charge for me!!!"
The next instant, the sky darkened, and darkness enveloped the angel's sacred golden light.
At the highest point in Heaven Dou City.
Mosheng Fei watched the sky of the Douluo World undergo a drastic upheaval as waves of familiar aura surged.
From the direction of the Heaven Dou Empire's treasury, drawn by strands of unidentified blood-red divine power, a triangular shroud radiating sea-blue light instantly flew out.
Just as Qian Daoliu's golden light was about to strike Tang San, the triangular shroud instantly flew into Tang San's body.
The next instant, a dazzling burst of Sea God's Light erupted. The Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud immediately unleashed its power, and an enormous protective shield appeared, enveloping Tang San and the others.
Bang-BOOM!!!
"This power... how is that possible!!!"
In the sky, Qian Daoliu's eyes instantly widened.
Qian Daoliu had checked. There was indeed no one in Heaven Dou City who could save Tang San from him.
But the one intervening wasn't human at all!
"Fuck, you damned shameless bastard."
Mosheng Fei trembled with rage.
"As expected, killing Tang San won't be that easy."
[An Outer Realm God forcibly intervened in the Douluo World, protecting the Outer Realm Demonic Devil Tang San at all costs.]
At that very moment, in the Divine Realm, the First-Generation Asura God had already struck a secret backroom deal with the Sea God.
The First-Generation Asura God: "Sea God, you wouldn't want your inheritor to die at the hands of the Angel God's subordinate, would you?"
The First-Generation Asura God: "The Angel God is dead, and the Douluo Continent has become a world without a presiding god. I don't believe you have no desire to make the Sea God the presiding god of the Douluo World!!"
The First-Generation Asura God: "The will of the Douluo World is weak. Though it gave birth to you, its heart has long since strayed beyond the ninth heaven. The Angel God is clearly dead, yet the world didn't choose you as its presiding god. Instead, it chose the Angel God's descendant. Being replaced by a junior doesn't feel good, does it?"
The more the Sea God listened to the First-Generation Asura God's words, the angrier he became, thinking of the benefits of becoming the world's presiding god-the faith of an entire world, its one and only presiding god.
"Sea God Island, heed my command!"
"Rescue my inheritor!!"
"Welcome your next Sea God!!!"
Seeing the Sea God begin to lead the charge, the First-Generation Asura God's lips slowly curled into a smile. He sat as securely as a fisherman on his platform.
A ray of divine light descended upon Sea God Island.
Bo Saixi raised her head and listened to the instructions delivered to Sea God Island.
"The Sea God's inheritor... Tang San?"
A complicated look flickered in Bo Saixi's eyes as she thought of the lifetime she had devoted to the Sea God.
Before she could react, a ray of Sea God's Light forcibly intervened in the lower realm, instantly teleporting Bo Saixi and the others of the Seven Sacred Pillars to Heaven Dou City in the northern Heaven Dou Empire.
Heaven Dou City.
Sea God's Light shone.
A figure strode out.
"That's enough, Qian Daoliu. You're a senior who is who knows how many generations older, yet you've lowered yourself to hunt down a child. Have you no shame?"
"Do me this favor and let Tang San go."
"Let this end here. Stop!"
Mosheng Fei's expression instantly darkened.
"I clearly sensed the Asura God intervening. Why is Sea God Island still the one making a move?"
"If it's only Sea God Island..."
"All I need to do is expose the fact that [Sea God Island was destroyed, the world's sea Soul Masters were nearly wiped out, and the Sea God Inheritance was selfishly monopolized... Tang San did not protect Sea God Island], and that will solve it. As for why he didn't protect it-whether he didn't want to or the Divine Realm had already drifted who knows how far away-what does that have to do with me...? I just need to dump the blame on Tang San."
"If all else fails... I'll forcibly invoke world power. Even if I have to paint her into existence, I'll bring forth the Angel God!"
