Sea God Phantom

"Very good, so this is your Eighth Soul Skill? It was written in Nana's report, and I thought she was exaggerating a bit, but seeing it with my own eyes today, I understand that she was indeed reporting the truth. Not bad!"

In the frontline battle report that Hu Liena wrote to Bibi Dong, she mentioned that Yu Tianshuang used her Eighth Soul Skill to freeze an entire army of 200,000 in one fell swoop, starting from the camp of the Spirit Hall Empire and spreading all the way to the long river on the border of the Star Luo Empire. The extent of the freeze was astonishing.

Bibi Dong had thought Hu Liena's report was somewhat exaggerated, but today, witnessing it with her own eyes, her long, narrow eyes sparkled with excitement, and she was filled with emotion. Looking at Tang San and the others who had revealed themselves below, she transformed into her Martial Soul Avatar Form, her Spider Spear gathering in front of her, and unleashed a huge dark green Half Moon Slash.

Tang San felt an immense pressure emanating from the sky. Glancing at his companion, who was already forced to use her Invincible Golden Body to defend against Yu Tianshuang's area-of-effect attack, he was filled with anxiety. "Xiao Wu, how are you? That damned Yu Tianshuang! How dare she, a mere Soul Douluo, possess such a wide-range attack Soul Skill! Damn it!"

Seeing that Xiao Wu's Invincible Golden Body was about to end, and Bibi Dong's Half Moon slash was about to hit her, Tang San had no choice but to use Teleportation to get to Xiao Wu's side. Instead of retreating, he advanced and directly crashed into Bibi Dong's Half Moon Slash.

In his first clash with Bibi Dong's attack, Tang San suddenly had a strange feeling. This evil power seemed familiar; he'd seen it somewhere before. That's right, that sense of déjà vu... it was the King of Slaughter in the Slaughter City who had given him the same feeling...

"Who would have thought that the Empress of the mighty Spirit Hall Empire would be a user of such an evil power? Truly admirable!"

Tang San looked at Bibi Dong in the sky, who was frowning after he had used his Invincible Golden Body to block the attack. He couldn't help but sigh. As expected of his teacher's former lover, time seemed to have left no trace on her. On the contrary, it made her even more charming. Even in her current half-human, half-spider form, she had a unique beauty.

Hearing Tang San's words, Yu Tianshuang found them laughable, but he did feel a sense of agreement. The attacks and aura released by Bibi Dong after transforming into her Martial Soul Avatar were indeed very similar to those of the King of Slaughter of King of Slaughter's evil aura. The King of Slaughter, besides his evil aura, was mostly filled with bloodlust and killing intent, while Bibi Dong gave him a feeling of pure evil.

"A mere ant, having managed to block my attack with a few petty tricks, starts to boast arrogantly? How laughable!"

Bibi Dong glanced at Yu Tianshuang out of the corner of her eye and noticed that his expression seemed a little unpleasant because of Tang San's words. She immediately became angry and used her Soul Power to expand the Death Domain, which then enveloped Tang San and the others.

Holding Tang San in his arms, Xiao Wu looked down at Da Ming and Er Ming, who were almost frozen solid, and felt the overwhelming oppressive aura of Death Domain released by Bibi Dong. She struggled in his arms and said, "Brother, you should leave quickly. Don't worry about us. Your leg Soul Bone can help you escape from here."

Tang San, seeing Bibi Dong's purple, evil domain pressing down on him, remained calm. While using his Soul Power to defend against Yu Tianshuang's area-of-effect Soul Skill, he straightened his posture, picked up the Sea God Trident, and released a burst of Sea God's Light towards Da Ming and Er Ming below to alleviate their predicament. Then he said, "Xiao Wu, what nonsense are you talking about? How could I abandon you and run away alone? Don't worry, I said your brothers are my brothers. With me here, everything will be alright."

Tang San's words were so gentle that Xiao Wu was deeply moved. She hugged him tightly, murmuring, "Brother."

Raising the Sea God Trident in his hand, Tang San infused it with the Sea God's Light, and then hurled it fiercely towards Bibi Dong and the others. Apart from feeling as light as a feather in his hand, the Sea God Trident itself possessed a terrifying weight of 100,000 jin. As soon as it left his hand, it collided with Bibi Dong's purple Death Domain with a whooshing sound and blazing holy golden light.

The moment the sacred golden light collided with the extremely evil purple light, golden ripples erupted from the Sea God Trident. In just a moment, it broke through the Death Domain of Bibi Dong, a level 99 Peerless Douluo, and then flew towards them with undiminished momentum.

"Puff..."

Bibi Dong simply couldn't believe it. She watched in disbelief as her Innate Domain was shattered by Tang San, a Soul Douluo whom she considered an ant. She clutched her chest, spitting out a mouthful of blood, her beautiful eyes narrowing slightly.

The other three, besides Yu Tianshuang, were also caught off guard. In their eyes, Bibi Dong was the symbol of invincibility. They couldn't imagine that Tang San, who had been driven to the brink of despair by Yu Tianshuang just a moment ago, would actually injure their empress in the next moment.

"It's due to elemental advantage. The golden light Tang San releases has a significant effect on your elemental attributes, not because of his own strength."

Looking at Bibi Dong's astonished expression and the sight of her vomiting blood due to the breaking of her Innate Domain, Yu Tianshuang felt a mixture of smug satisfaction and heartache at her predicament. She offered a brief explanation before flying over and grabbing at the Sea God Trident with her dragon claws.

Tang San's attack was aimed directly at Bibi Dong, because he had already recognized that the three major effects of his Sea God's Light Sea God Trident —Demon-Slaying, Evil-Slaying, and Annihilation—were natural nemesis to Soul Master like Bibi Dong who used evil power.

Unfortunately, Yu Tianshuang was not countered by these attributes. After their first encounter, he knew that this weapon, which was not a Martial Soul, possessed attributes that could exempt him from Soul Skill and Soul Power to a certain extent, and its weight and destructive power were also astonishing.

However, its most important attribute of exorcising evil had no effect on Yu Tianshuang. Yu Tianshuang, whose physical strength was already astonishing, was covered with a beautifully crafted armor after Dragon Transformation. It was the second Soul Skill of the Ice Empress's Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring, the Ice Emperor Armor.

"Bang!"

The moment Yu Tianshuang's dragon claws clashed with the Sea God Trident, the resulting shockwaves reverberated through the air, forcing Ling Yuan Douluo and the other two back. Bibi Dong also retreated a distance due to the holy golden light that she loathed.

This weapon was indeed extremely powerful. The moment its dragon claw made contact with the Sea God Trident, the Ice Emperor Armor was pierced. Yu Tianshuang had naturally anticipated this, and a burst of Soul Power suddenly erupted from the dragon claw to confront it head-on. The weight reached a terrifying 100,000 jin. This impact propelled Yu Tianshuang backward. Yu Tianshuang once again unleashed a burst of icy blue Soul Power, and after being forced back a hundred meters, she finally withstood the impact.

Then, with a slight smirk, he slapped the spearhead hard with one hand, turning it upright, and then grabbed the tail of the Sea God Trident, swinging it sharply towards Da Ming and Er Ming's positions.

Anyone with eyes could see the huge difference in strength between the two. After the Sea God Trident flew out of Yu Tianshuang's hand, it exploded on the ground like a cannonball, producing a sonic boom and the sound of the ground below shattering.

Tang San stared in disbelief at the Sea God Trident he had retrieved immediately using the Controlling Crane Capturing Dragon Capture technique, at Xiao Wu whose golden light had faded, and at the sunken ground and Yu Tianshuang in the sky.

When Yu Tianshuang blocked the Sea God Trident, Tang San was not surprised, because he knew the terrifying power that this person, whom he regarded as his lifelong rival, possessed.

So when Yu Tianshuang threw the Sea God Trident, he was ready to use Controlling Crane Capturing Dragon Sea God Trident. However, to his surprise, even though he had used Controlling Crane Capturing Dragon the moment Yu Tianshuang threw the Sea God Trident, the speed at which it was thrown was astonishing. He simply couldn't imagine that the Sea God Trident Yu Tianshuang, which weighed 100,000 jin in the hands of an outsider, could completely exceed the speed of sound. What terrified him the most was that the attack that directly shattered the ground was not the Sea God Trident itself, but the energy emanating from Yu Tianshuang's throw. Although he was shocked, he had already retrieved the Sea God Trident halfway through its flight.

"What to do, what to do... The difference in strength is too great. I was originally so confident that Yu Tianshuang was no threat to me now, and that my real opponent was Bibi Dong. I was so confident because my Sea God's Light and Sea God Trident could just counter her. But now it seems that the biggest threat to me is actually this Yu Tianshuang..."

Tang San stared in astonishment at the group in the sky. He was now completely panicked, his previous composure and calm gone. Although Yu Tianshuang's Eighth Soul Skill had ended, Da Ming and Er Ming were in dire straits. They were already severely injured by their previous attacks and Bibi Dong's poison, and now they were being eroded by Yu Tianshuang's icy power. Although his Sea God's Light had alleviated their condition immediately, he truly couldn't think of a way to break the deadlock.

Unfortunately, Bibi Dong and the others wouldn't give him time to think. Bibi Dong glanced at Yu Tianshuang indifferently. Although she was also shocked and amazed by his terrifying power, this brat had already surprised her enough, so she wasn't surprised anymore. She then unleashed another dark green slash at Tang San and the others.

Yu Tianshuang naturally wouldn't let go of such a golden opportunity. Tang San's growth rate was too fast. Although he didn't pose any threat to him yet, Tang San's endless tricks still made him feel a bit troubled. In coordination with Bibi Dong's Half Moon Slash, he also unleashed a sword aura, following behind Bibi Dong's Half Moon.

"At this point, we have no choice but to fight with our lives on the line!"

After a brief moment of thought, Tang San, unable to come up with a solution, felt the oppressive aura emanating from the sky. He composed himself, wielding the Sea God Trident to meet the attack. It must be said that the Sea God Trident truly lived up to its reputation as a divine artifact; it was extremely effective against Bibi Dong's attributes. With the activation of its Demon-Slaying and Evil-Slaying attributes, he actually managed to break through the attack of this Peerless Douluo with the strength of Soul Douluo. However, the icy blue sword energy that followed closely behind gave him a headache.

The combined sword energy of the Seven Kill Sword Intent was too much for him to withstand, even with the protection of the Sea God's Light. Although he wielded the divine weapon, the Sea God Trident, and used all his strength to shatter the sword energy with its destructive properties, he was also injured by it. Seeing the deep, bone-revealing gash on his chest, which had been shattered, he felt the threat of death.

Yu Tianshuang, meanwhile, struck while the enemy was down, unleashing another Half Moon sword aura. This time, without needing to deliberately follow Bibi Dong's attack, her speed was many times faster than before. She arrived almost as soon as Tang San looked down at his chest injury, leaving Tang San to instinctively raise the Sea God Trident horizontally.

Just then, a strange scene unfolded. The Sea God Trident that Tang San had raised suddenly burst out with a dazzling golden light, and the sword energy attack of Yu Tianshuang's Seven Kill Sword Intent was dissolved without any warning.

The people in the sky were somewhat bewildered, especially Yu Tianshuang. Logically speaking, she had deliberately increased the proportion of the Greedy Wolf Sword Intent in her attack, so in terms of speed, Tang San should not have been able to react in time. He shouldn't have had a chance to use his Invincible Golden Body. But what was with the golden light emanating from his weapon? How could it have blocked her attack so easily?

Aside from the Invincible Golden Body, he couldn't imagine anything else in this world that could be so unreasonable. But suddenly, he heard Bibi Dong's painful cry of surprise beside him. Then, he looked at Bibi Dong's figure in utter confusion as she retreated directly behind Ling Yuan Douluo and the others, and then retreated a distance further.

At this moment, Yu Tianshuang looked at Bibi Dong's still-shaken expression with some confusion. Just as she was about to make a joke, she suddenly felt a bit blinding light out of the corner of her eye. When she turned her head, she saw that Tang San seemed to have turned into a golden man, his whole body emitting a dazzling golden light. Then, this light suddenly boiled on his body like flames, gradually rising higher and higher.

At the same time, a huge golden phantom in the shape of a human slowly emerged behind him, gradually growing from the height of one person to about the height of three people before stopping its expansion. At this moment, Yu Tianshuang could vaguely see that the phantom behind Tang San was a human wearing golden armor. This phantom was wearing a full set of golden armor and holding a phantom Sea God Trident. This image and majestic aura made him instantly realize that the identity of this phantom was probably the god that Tang San inherited.

Just as Yu Tianshuang recovered from the shock of the phantom image behind Tang San and was about to launch another attack, a majestic voice suddenly resounded throughout the world. "I have traversed the Douluo Water World for over a thousand years, finally attaining the position of Sea God. I created the Golden Thirteen Halberds, sweeping across the seas without equal. Now I will pass on the first three halberds to you. I will only use them once. The first move, Unfixed Storm."

Although the majestic voice resounded throughout the heavens and earth, it was clear that the phantom who claimed to be the Sea God was speaking to Tang San. As soon as he finished speaking, the physical Sea God Trident in Tang San's hand automatically flew into the golden phantom's hand and then became the same size as him.
