As the words fell, Sea Annihilation Douluo raised his hand and injected energy into the Sea Illusion Sacred Pillar behind him.
The demonic patterns on the sacred pillar emitted a pale golden light, enveloping Tang San’s body.
The power of the Sea God’s light flowed within him.
Like timely rain, it extinguished the intense killing intent that was about to overflow from Tang San’s heart.
His mind, which had been dominated by emotions of slaughter and destruction, slowly returned to peace.
“Tang San, you have passed the Sea Illusion Sacred Pillar trial.”
The Sea God’s majestic voice sounded in Tang San’s mind.
The thick fog surrounding the Sea Illusion Sacred Pillar and the heavy black clouds in the sky, illuminated by the golden pillar of light, seemed to be purified, revealing the original blue sky, white clouds, and beautiful scenery.
This was also the signal that the trial was completely over.
Tang San let out a long sigh, slowly opened his eyes, and cupped his hands towards Sea Annihilation Douluo, who was sitting on the ground, covered in blood: “Thank you for your guidance, Senior.”
“Xiao San!”
“Brother!”
“Third Brother!”
“Lord Tang San!”
The Shrek Seven Devils and Bai Yin, who had been watching, rushed to the hexagonal platform in front of the Sea Illusion Sacred Pillar.
Oscar produced two sausages with different effects and handed them to Tang San.
The moment Tang Sui landed, she also cast her second spirit ability on Tang San and Sea Annihilation Douluo.
Sea Annihilation Douluo couldn’t help but glance at Tang Sui, who smiled at him.
Feeling his injuries instantly healed and his spirit power rapidly recovering and surging, Sea Annihilation Douluo waved his hand, his gaze shifted to Tang San, and he said, “In extreme emotions, people can unleash unexpected strength, but they also lose control of themselves. Tang San, your strength is undeniable. Although you have passed this trial, please remember today’s lesson and restrain yourself until the end.”
Tang San’s gaze dimmed slightly. He nodded, feeling somewhat fortunate that they had already experienced such cruel illusionary trials, and now possessed resistance.
Otherwise, he would have truly been unable to control his killing intent just now and done something regrettable.
Although he had defeated the third Titled Douluo, this trial had consumed him more than expected.
Now, both his spirit power and mental power were far more depleted than when he faced Sea Horse Douluo.
He had used his spirit bone skills twice, his eighth spirit ability twice, along with releasing the Purple Demon Eye twice, and his mind had been affected by the illusion. Tang San’s face still showed an uncontrollable weariness.
Even with the dual support from Xiao Ao and Sui Sui, he knew he had to rest.
With this thought, Tang San told Dai Mubai and the others that he would temporarily stop at the Sea Illusion Sacred Pillar to rest.
Fortunately, only he among the five trials had a time limit, and he had used very little time challenging the previous two Titled Douluos, so he had enough time to pause and rest.
Seeing Tang San sit cross-legged on the ground to cultivate after speaking, Tang Sui looked at Sea Annihilation Douluo, who was also preparing to recuperate, and proactively said, “Senior Sea Annihilation Douluo, after you have recuperated, may I ask you to use your domain on me as well?”
Sea Annihilation Douluo was stunned and looked at Tang Sui. “Of course. The Great Priest had already said that you are also a distinguished guest of Sea God Island, and you are treated with the same courtesy as Tang San. As long as it does not affect their trials, we will do our best to provide you with assistance.”
“Wait, Sui Sui, isn’t your Twin Spirit Domain already a mental domain of illusion type? Can’t you just put yourself into your domain and experience it like you did when you trained us? Why are you asking Senior Sea Annihilation Douluo to act?”
Dai Mubai was full of confusion, and Ma Hongjun couldn’t help but chime in, “Yeah, Sui Sui, if you want to try a trial of mental domains, can’t you just do it yourself and be self-sufficient?”
“Oh? Your domain is also of the mental illusion type?” Sea Annihilation Douluo, having understood something, looked astonished. “And you’ve already conducted such trials for your companions? No wonder Tang San could break through my domain so quickly and escape the illusion… Is your domain’s development direction also similar to mine, capable of mobilizing the deepest emotions in people’s hearts?”
Tang Sui nodded. “Yes… that’s indeed the case. Just as my companions said, although I can also apply the domain’s effect to myself, it’s… shameful to say, as I haven’t fully mastered my domain yet. Even though I can cast mental illusions, it’s far from reaching the limit I desire.”
“In the battle just now, I felt that you, Senior, are very skilled at mobilizing people’s weaknesses. You also said that in extreme emotions, people often unleash unexpected strength. I want to use your power to amplify the darkness within me, so as to overcome a difficult problem of my own.”
“What?!”
Everyone was shocked. Tang San, upon hearing this, couldn’t help but open his eyes, frowning as he looked at Tang Sui. “Sui Sui, you can’t be this reckless! You already carry an immense amount of negative energy. It’s thanks to you that you’ve never wavered and haven’t been corrupted yourself.
“Doing this would be akin to actively breaking the balance you’ve worked so hard to maintain. If you’re not careful, and your mind and personality completely collapse, becoming an idiot or going berserk would be the lucky outcome. The greater possibility is direct death!”
He knew better than anyone how much negative energy Tang Sui currently carried.
Even he himself wasn’t sure he could completely suppress that terrifying negative energy now. If it were to be fully unleashed… what a horrifying scene that would be?!
“No, I don’t agree to you taking this risk.”
Tang San’s brows were stern. Tang Sui looked at her brother seriously and said, “Brother, I know your worries. I’m not acting on impulse. I’ve been contemplating this for half a month.”
Sea Annihilation Douluo’s expression also became serious. “The risk of this is indeed very high. Tang Sui, have you really thought it through? If you need to experiment, I can stop at a touch.”
“No, please do not hold back against me,” Tang Sui said with a firm expression.
“Sui Sui!”
Dai Mubai and the others also looked disapproving.
Ning Rongrong directly grabbed Tang Sui’s hand, her expression solemn. “Sui Sui, I know you’re anxious. We are equally eager to become stronger. But if it requires such a heavy price to gamble, none of us would want you to take the risk!”
Tang Sui shook her head. “Rongrong, Brother Dai, Brother, and everyone else, you don’t need to persuade me anymore. This is a choice that Fox Mask and I made together.”
Fox Mask and them?
Everyone’s expression shifted, and Tang San’s expression also became hesitant.
If anyone besides Tang Sui knew the Fox Mask and the others best, it would be Tang San, who knew about the secrets of the masks.
If it were just Tang Sui’s impulsive decision, he would definitely not agree.
But…
Tang San’s eyes flickered. Finally, he looked at Sea Annihilation Douluo, pushed himself up from the ground, cupped his hands, and said, “Senior Sea Annihilation Douluo, I wonder if you can contact Senior Bo Saixi. If so, I would like to ask Senior Bo Saixi to look after Sui Sui.”
“Xiao San?!”
“Third Brother?!”
