Tang San's gaze fell on Wang Dong, and a gentle smile slowly bloomed on his face.
He didn't answer Wang Dong's question directly, but said slowly in a low voice, "Soon... you'll understand."
Before he finished speaking, he had already turned around, his calm and unwavering gaze falling on the Scarlet King on the other side, who looked as if facing a formidable enemy, and the Three-Eyed Golden Lion, the Emperor Auspicious Beast beast, which the king was protecting tightly behind him.
Faced with Tang San's gaze, the Scarlet King, though its very soul trembled with fear, still managed to open its massive jaws wide and let out a menacing growl. Its dark red fur stood on end, attempting to demonstrate its unwavering resolve with a ferocious demeanor.
However, in Tang San's eyes, it was nothing more than an insignificant Soul Beast struggling in vain.
The gentleness on his face had vanished without a trace, leaving only the indifference of a god looking down upon the mortal world.
He didn't even utter a word, but simply raised his right hand casually, gesturing towards the direction behind the Scarlet King.
"Huh?!"
The Emperor Auspicious Beast, which was hiding behind the Scarlet King, let out a short, startled cry.
Suddenly, her body was enveloped by an invisible force that was completely incomprehensible and irresistible. Her four hooves left the ground instantly, and she floated lightly towards Tang San's direction!
The Three-Eyed Golden Lion twisted its body wildly, its four claws clawing futilely in the air, its golden eyes filled with panic and confusion, yet it was completely unable to break free from control.
"Roar! Release the Auspicious Beast!!!"
Upon witnessing this scene, the Scarlet King was instantly overcome with shock and rage, his fear instantly overriding his own!
The three heads simultaneously unleashed a deafening roar. No longer caring about the disparity in strength, its massive body, wreathed in a desperate, ferocious flame, transformed into a dark red meteor and charged relentlessly towards Tang San!
"Snort."
Tang San merely let out a very soft, cold snort from his nose.
Without him making any move, a vast and powerful aura suddenly descended, treating the Scarlet King as if he were merely brushing away a speck of dust.
"Bang!!!"
The Scarlet King's massive body suddenly stiffened as he charged forward, as if he had crashed into an invisible barrier.
Immediately afterwards, he flew backward at an even faster speed than he had come, like a meteorite struck by a giant hammer, screaming in agony.
It crashed into and snapped several towering ancient trees that required several people to encircle, then tumbled and rolled to the ground in a sorry state amidst a deafening roar and billowing dust.
The Emperor Auspicious Beast was imprisoned in mid-air by that invisible Divine Power, only inches away from Tang San.
Her three bright eyes flashed with alternating light of fear, anger, and defiance. Her four claws pawed futilely, and her clear voice trembled slightly with panic. "Who are you? Let me go!"
Tang San seemed unwilling to reveal his identity as an ancestor of Shrek, so he simply said in a calm tone, "I've come here only to retrieve something that never belonged to you."
As soon as he finished speaking, he slowly extended his right hand toward the Emperor Auspicious Beast.
His target is the other half of his daughter's soul, hidden deep within the Sea of Consciousness Emperor Auspicious Beast.
If it is taken out and merged with Wang Dong, it can "form" his complete daughter.
Afterwards, he will take his daughter back to the Divine Realm, temporarily leaving the Douluo Continent, which he considers out of control, behind.
"Stop!"
Just then, a roar filled with pain and determination came from afar.
Despite his severe injuries, the Scarlet King managed to stand up again, staggering yet frantically running back.
Despite its trembling body from excruciating pain, the three heads stubbornly raised, roaring hoarsely, "I don't care who you are! Daring to harm the auspicious Auspicious Beast is to be an enemy of the entire Star Dou Great Forest! An enemy of all Soul Beast!"
Upon hearing this threat, Tang San could only let out a cold, indifferent laugh.
Kong Xuan is a strange and unpredictable fellow; I have no way to deal with him.
But apart from that, in the eyes of this God King who holds the power of the Divine Realm, what difference is there between humans and beasts in the lower realm and mere dust and ants?
Tang San's Divine Sense, like an invisible hand, invaded the Emperor Auspicious Beast's Sea of Consciousness without any hindrance.
He instantly locked onto a mass enveloped in soft golden light, emanating a familiar aura that resonated with his very bloodline—it was half of his daughter's soul, which he had personally sealed there.
Just as his mind stirred, preparing to gently seize that half of the soul...
A sudden change has occurred!
A sudden burst of energy erupted within the Auspicious Beast's Sea of Consciousness, and then a figure materialized, blocking Tang San's path.
She was a woman who looked to be no more than twenty years old, tall and with an exceptionally beautiful face.
Her long, silvery-white hair flowed like Moonlight, moving without wind, setting off her deep, clear purple eyes.
At this moment, his eyes were devoid of warmth, filled only with an Ice Seal chill and... undisguised hostility.
Tang San, who had been expressionless and indifferent to everything, suddenly stopped, and for the first time, a genuine look of surprise and seriousness flashed across his eyes.
There are actually other people in the Sea of Consciousness of this Auspicious Beast?!
Moreover, the subtle yet incredibly pure power emanating from this silver-haired woman actually made him... feel a sense of threat!
This is absolutely not a power that should exist on the Douluo Continent!
Just as Tang San was shaken, the silver-haired woman's cold gaze locked onto him.
Her lips parted slightly, carrying a chilling undertone that seemed to have been waiting for a long time. " Tang San!"
"You... you really came."
The one who appeared at this moment, blocking Tang San's way, was none other than the Silver Dragon King Gu Yuena!
Previously, when Kong Xuan first saw the Auspicious Beast, he revealed that half of Tang San's daughter's soul was sealed within its Sea of Consciousness.
In her shock and anger, Gu Yuena naturally wouldn't ignore it.
The reason I didn't immediately separate or destroy that half of her soul was partly because I felt a pang of compassion for my "daughter," whose soul had been torn apart by her own father and turned into a pawn; I couldn't bear to do it.
Secondly, she harbored a deeper motive: she intended to use this as bait to lure Tang San, the God King.
After all, in the Silver Dragon King's heart, the Dragon God had fallen at the hands of the Asura God.
Tang San succeeded to his divine position, and this cause and effect should naturally be inherited by him.
Therefore, she and Tang San already had an irreconcilable hatred between them.
The fish has now taken the bait.
Tang San really did come!
Tang San's divine consciousness clone descended using his daughter's bloodline as an anchor, and naturally had already sifted through Wang Dong's recent memory fragments.
He had seen this stunningly beautiful face in those images, and knew that she was a genius girl from the Sun Moon Empire named Gu Yuena, who often appeared beside Kong Xuan.
However, it is absolutely impossible for a so-called genius from the lower realm to appear in the Sea of Consciousness of Auspicious Beast, waiting for him to appear like a rabbit running into a tree stump, let alone pose a threat to him.
Tang San's divine sense was fixed on the other party's cold, piercing purple eyes, the hatred and hostility contained within them so real and chilling.
He frowned slightly and asked in a deep voice, "Who exactly are you? I seem to have no grudge against you."
