A flash of cold light erupted, Tang Sui's eyes snapped open, and she recoiled several meters, her body arching backward.
Qian Renxue, wielding the Angel Sacred Sword manifested by her eighth spirit ability, pursued relentlessly. The blade, imbued with divine power, pointed directly at Tang Sui. Where it passed, golden waves of light surged and cascaded like the tide, forcing Tang Sui to retreat further.
"Buzz—"
"Fifth Spirit Ability, Blue Silver Overlord Spear!"
The silver-blue spear shot through the air, like a divine pillar stabilizing the sea, repelling the encroaching golden waves and clearing a wide area.
"Clang—!"
The Blue Silver Overlord Spear, meeting the Angel Sacred Sword head-on, collided with a blinding flash and a deafening explosion. The resulting shockwave of spiritual energy momentarily stunned their thoughts.
A vast, blue-gold radiance, like a boundless ocean, descended and bathed Tang Sui.
A sense of divine power, vaguely familiar, pulled Tang Sui's vision into another dimension.
As black and red light prisms clashed with white and gold light prisms, a third blue-gold pillar, connecting heaven and earth, suddenly appeared. Waves of potent divine energy surged ferociously towards her and the Angel God's faith power.
Unlike the gradually dissipating white-gold faith power, Tang Sui felt a cool sensation emanating from the blue tide, slowly mending the injuries within her.
This is...
"Are you alright?"
A familiar voice sounded from behind her.
Tang Sui froze. The next second, a strong hand gently supported her from behind. Tang San, his brow imprinted with a golden divine pattern, floated behind Tang Sui. His eyes, shimmering with purple-gold light, looked at the re-stabilized Qian Renxue with cold fury, a hint of killing intent flashing in their depths.
"Qian Renxue!"
"Tang San?!"
Qian Renxue was genuinely surprised now, but she also felt a greater apprehension towards the colossal power that had arrived with Tang San. It possessed a... indescribable sacredness, much like the aura of the Angel God. Not an anomaly, yet an enemy. Could this power just now be the Sea God's? Qian Renxue began to feel the situation was becoming tricky.
Completely unexpected to see Tang San here, Tang Sui looked at him with astonishment. "Brother? Weren't you..." Absorbing spirit rings?
Tang Sui didn't finish her sentence, but Tang San knew what she was going to say. He nodded at her, and in the next moment, his aura surged, the suppressed energy erupting.
Yellow, yellow, purple, black, black, black, red, red.
Eight spirit rings appeared simultaneously, signifying his successful advancement to a Spirit Douluo. The aura he exuded was even higher than Tang Sui's.
"After my spirit power broke through, my divine sense was suddenly pulled into a golden space. Inside, I found a door, and your aura emanated from within. When I stepped through the door, I found myself already here." Tang San vaguely omitted part of the truth, but it was indeed the case.
Tang Sui also guessed that her brother was hiding something, but they weren't the only ones present. There was also the lurking Qian Renxue and the Angel God striking from the shadows. Thinking of this, Tang Sui looked at Qian Renxue hovering in mid-air. "Brother, beat her!" With a powerful backer and a proxy fighter, why wouldn't she go all out?
Coincidentally, Tang San had no intention of letting go of one of the main culprits who had harmed his sister. The Sea God, seated in support of Tang San and Tang Sui, was naturally willing to lend a hand to their staunch allies.
Sensing the crisis, the Angel God's eyes, brilliant gold with no visible pupils, fixed intently on Tang San, or rather, on the trace of Sea God's divine念 hidden within the golden pattern on Tang San's brow.
Even Tang Sui was unaware of what the Sea God and the Angel God were communicating. But the moment Tang San launched his attack, the space they occupied suddenly began to crack and collapse inch by inch. Sudan Novel Network.
A roiling, clamorous sound, like angry waves, boomed in the sky. Golden lightning and thunder roared overhead and even further away, like an invisible duel. The space fabricated by the Angel God crumbled, piece by piece, like damaged playdough, revealing its inherently empty nature.
'Cease for now, the space here has already collapsed.'
A majestic, low voice echoed in Tang San's mind. It was the same voice they heard each time they completed an assessment.
Tang San paused for only a second before recognizing the voice. His gaze dimmed, and he turned back to Tang Sui. A trace of soft blue light flickered on his brow, and a triangular prism enveloped them, starkly contrasting with the apocalyptic scene of destruction raging outside.
Feeling a powerful pull dragging her outward, Qian Renxue looked at Tang San shielding Tang Sui, her hand gripping the Angel Sacred Sword tightening slightly. Expressionless, she allowed the irresistible, immense force to drag her out of the collapsing space.
Tang Sui...
The next time we meet, I will defeat you with my own hands.
...
The rumbling sound gradually subsided.
Once the outside world calmed down, the space around them transformed into a vast, boundless expanse of blue and gold. Tang San withdrew the Sea God's Exalted Treasure, looking at the familiar surroundings with relief. "It seems we've returned."
"Where is this?" Tang Sui asked, examining her surroundings in confusion.
Tang San placed a hand on Tang Sui's shoulder, profound spirit power and mental energy emanating from his palm, seeping into her body and helping to calm her surging blood qi. "This is the Sea God's Divine Sense Space. Although it appears to be mine on the surface, the majority of its permissions are held by Lord Sea God. However, as my affinity with the Sea God increases, my control over this space deepens. Complete control is only a matter of time, so don't worry."
Since everyone present was one of their own, Tang San then proceeded to explain in detail what had happened after he entered this divine sense space, having successfully absorbed the spirit ring and generated spirit bone from the Evil Orca King.
"After receiving the reward for the fourth trial, my Sea God affinity rose to 35%, allowing me to mobilize a portion of the sea's power. Then I met Lord Sea God, and He told me that the Angel God's power had appeared within the sea domain."
"Lord Sea God is the god of the sea. Even though it is merely a lingering divine念, as long as it remains within the sea, every action in the outside world escapes Lord Sea God's notice. It was then that both I and Lord Sea God discovered that your soul consciousness had suddenly left your body. Coupled with the Angel God's power appearing in the sea, it was undoubtedly He who took you." As he spoke, Tang San's expression grew serious.
"After obtaining the eighth spirit ring and a new spirit bone, my spirit power level has advanced to level 84, yet I hadn't sensed anything. It was only thanks to Lord Sea God's timely reminder that I discovered it."
"If there was a first time, there could be a second. Sui Sui, if such a situation arises again, you must never face it alone." Tang San earnestly cautioned. He still had the Sea God as a shield behind him. But Sui Sui was alone, and even a mere trace of divine念 was not something they could contend with at their current level. The enemy was not to be underestimated!
—Aside—
I'm so sorry, I was too tired yesterday. I was busy until past ten, and then I collapsed onto the bed and fell asleep. I couldn't manage it.
