Soul Land 5: The Rebirth of Tang San

Chapter 785: Divine Fire

The sparks were finally fully consumed, and the way the White Tiger Demon Emperor looked at Tang San grew increasingly strange.

By this point in the battle, he had seen plenty of unexpected things. Yet, he still felt as though he hadn't reached the depths of Tang San's true power. In other words, he hadn't been able to draw out the young man's full power.

Of course, if this had been a true fight to the death and the White Tiger Demon Emperor had gone all out from the beginning, the pressure would have been far greater, and he was confident he could have killed Tang San instantly. However, he had to admit that, if Tang San managed to gain the upper hand first and used Unpredictable Storm to trap him, things might not have gone so smoothly.

The power of that firebird just now was clearly extraordinary. It would have left him completely bald if it had fully engulfed him, and that was assuming it didn't roast his skin as well.

He couldn't help but ask, "What kind of flame was that just now?"

Tang San replied, "It's the initial form of something I've been working on. I haven't named it yet, but it contains different types of flames, along with yin-yang energy. As you could see, it's quite overpowering. I'm trying to harmonize the different traits of these flames and integrate them. In the future, it should become a form of divine fire."

How was that firebird created? It was formed from the combination of Rainbow Skyfire Liquid, the Phoenix True Fire of the Immortal Flame Phoenix clan, and the ultimate yin-yang energy.

Only Tang San had the ability to fuse such domineering elements, and the fusion of these forces produced something that even shocked him.

The White Tiger Demon Emperor's reaction earlier was absolutely perfect, as expected of someone with such rich experience. To deal with such flames, direct confrontation was simply not an option, not even for an Emperor; they had to be redirected.

Tang San had managed to create this flame only after becoming a god, and only a small amount. Melding these three overwhelmingly powerful forces together was incredibly difficult, largely because his cultivation wasn't high enough just yet.

With the amount of flame he could currently condense, it would be hard to truly injure an Emperor, but it could definitely entangle one for a short while. This was one of Tang San's trump cards.

Today, showing it to the White Tiger Demon Emperor was to give him a glimpse of his hidden power. Of course, this was not Tang San's only trump card. After becoming a god, Tang San had undergone a complete transformation, and all of his battle tactics and strategies now targeted opponents at the Emperor level. Lesser opponents required no such effort.

"You're really something else. And that's not flattery," the White Tiger Demon Emperor said seriously.

Tang San was already this terrifying at the tenth order... If he reached the twelfth order and became an Emperor, his power would even surpass that of the old Crystal Demon Emperor. The White Tiger Demon Emperor was confident in his judgment.

Tang San bowed slightly in acknowledgment. "Thank you for the compliment. Since I'll be staying here for a while, I hope we can spar more often. I have many different abilities, but they are fairly random and scattered. I need pressure from a strong opponent like you to help me fuse them together and create a few divine powers. That's the only way I can improve my strength further."

"You're at the peak of the tenth order now, right? Don't you plan to ascend to the Great Demon King level soon?"

Tang San shook his head. "No rush. Slow and steady growth will yield the best results. I still need to accumulate more."

The White Tiger Demon Emperor's mouth twitched. You're a fresh tenth-order who can fight Emperors, and you still need to accumulate more? Accumulate what, exactly?

"I want to spar too." At that moment, a melodious voice rang out, drawing the attention of Tang San and the White Tiger Demon Emperor.

Naturally, it was Mei Gongzi speaking. Her beautiful eyes sparkled as she looked at Tang San and the White Tiger Demon Emperor.

She had been the sole observer of the fight just now. Initially, she had been worried, fearing that the White Tiger Demon Emperor would injure Tang San. But as the fight unfolded, she gradually realized that Tang San could genuinely hold his own against her grandfather. This revelation not only left her shocked but also stirred her competitive spirit.

She had always been the best from a young age and was now the youngest Great Demon King in history. Being with Tang San made her feel secure, but seeing his strength now, she suddenly felt a sense of urgency—she couldn't afford to be left behind!

The White Tiger Demon Emperor glanced at her and said, "If you want to spar, go against him. He has so many different abilities that fighting him is like battling a bunch of different people at once."

Mei Gongzi nodded, looking at Tang San. "Shall we?"

Seeing the sparkle in her eyes, Tang San smiled. "Alright!"

Mei Gongzi asked, "That ability you used to trap my grandfather... Was it derived from the Mysterious Circles of Heaven? Can I learn it?"

Tang San nodded. "Of course you can. I can teach you, but it isn't easy. It requires a high level of divine consciousness, and you'll need to reach the twelfth order to master it fully. But you can start learning it now and maybe use part of its power. This technique is called Unpredictable Storm, and to unleash its full potential, you need to use the Sea God's Trident. I can create one for you to try."

The White Tiger Demon Emperor's eyes nearly popped out of his head as he listened. What the... Can that technique be taught? And he can even create a divine artifact?!

Having personally experienced the power of Unpredictable Storm, the White Tiger Demon Emperor now understood just how terrifying the technique was. In terms of restraining an opponent, it was unlike anything he had ever seen on the entire Daemon Continent. While the Crystal Demon Emperor had been able to overpower him, it had been through sheer strength; restraining him using a divine technique not tied to bloodline power was simply beyond her abilities. Yet Tang San had managed precisely that.

The White Tiger Demon Emperor valued Unpredictable Storm even more than the firebird. That Unpredictable Storm couldn't be solved by tearing through space. It was useless—this divine technique simply ignored space.

And now, with just a word from Mei Gongzi, Tang San agreed to teach her, even willing to condense a divine weapon for her to use.

No wonder... No wonder this kid captured my granddaughter's heart! Hell, forget about her, I don't even know if I could refuse him if he came to me with that kind of present!

Mei Gongzi, however, snorted. "No need to rush to learn it. When we spar, you can't use that ability to trap me, or that firebird."

"Alright," Tang San smiled indulgently.

"Do you want to rest for a bit?"

Tang San shook his head. "No need, I'm good. A man can't say he's not up for it, right?"

The White Tiger Demon Emperor had initially planned to watch their sparring, but after hearing Tang San's cheesy comment, he groaned. Are you fucking sparring or flirting?!

"You two spar on your own. I'm heading out. When you're ready to leave, use your divine consciousness to make the space react and I'll bring you out," the White Tiger Demon Emperor said, acting as if he hadn't heard anything.

"Understood, Your Majesty." Tang San didn't try to stop him. He planned to use this time to teach Mei Gongzi a few things—secrets that only he and his wife could know.

The White Tiger Demon Emperor turned into a streak of light and vanished.

Mei Gongzi walked up to Tang San, looking him over. "You didn't get hurt just now, did you?"

Tang San shook his head. "Don't worry, I'm fine. My recovery ability is so strong now that it's hard for me to die even if I want to."

Mei Gongzi blinked. "Is that so? It seems the tribulation was helpful for you."

"Yes, actually, I..." Tang San began but suddenly felt that something was off. In the next moment, Mei Gongzi was suddenly holding him tight from behind. A strange spatial fluctuation instantly enveloped him, even isolating the Spacetime Lighthouse that was still in his hand.

Mei Gongzi's soft body pressed against him, her delicate arms wrapping around his neck. The power of space wholly sealed off all his bloodline abilities, leaving him firmly under her control.
