The surrounding area was filled with a dense ring.
Xiao Wu, who had undergone the process of a hundred-thousand-year soul beast cultivating into human form, was no stranger to this.
Even though she knew that Tang Sui’s cultivation method after transforming into a human differed from ordinary soul beasts, she was still astonished upon hearing that Tang Sui could condense his ninth soul ring, which was crucial for soul masters, with his own power.
“Ninth soul ring?!”
Her voice overlapped with Tang San’s raised voice.
They exchanged a glance. Tang San reached into the Twenty-Four Moonlit Bridges, took out a pill bottle, removed the stopper, and poured out a pill that was entirely emerald green. He handed it to Tang Hao and asked, “Dad, I remember Da Ming and Er Ming are also here. Why didn’t you ask them to help protect her while she condensed?”
“I asked them to guard your mother.” Tang Hao took the pill from his son’s hand, tilted his head back, and swallowed it in one gulp. He then chuckled wryly and said, “I didn’t expect Sui Sui’s ring condensation this time to create such a huge commotion.”
He recalled that a few years ago, when Tang Sui ascended from Soul Elder to Soul Ancestor and condensed his fourth soul ring, which was ten-thousand-year, Tang Hao had found a cave for Tang Sui to condense his ring peacefully. Back then, it hadn’t caused such a disturbance.
The current situation was truly a miscalculation on his part.
Tang San had witnessed the commotion when Tang Sui awakened her bloodline on Seagod Island. Although he hadn’t seen it personally, judging by Tang Hao’s expression, he could roughly guess the situation. A hint of resigned helplessness, as if it were all too familiar, appeared on his face. “It’s probably because it’s Sui Sui.”
Xiao Wu deeply agreed.
Tang Hao’s brow twitched. Finding no way to refute, he changed the subject. “You two arrived at a rather opportune moment. I’ve been guarding Sui Sui for eight days. Today, the energy aura emanating from Sui Sui isn’t as intense as the previous few days. She’ll likely break through in the next few days.”
Frankly speaking, although his soul power cultivation was permanently sealed by two levels due to the violent extraction of two soul bones, he could only remain at the Soul Sage realm for the rest of his life. In terms of solo combat or facing multiple opponents, no somewhat capable Titled Douluo could defeat him.
However, this continuous eight-day battle, with occasional brief rests where he could close his eyes, averaging less than three hours of sleep per day, was taking its toll. Even he couldn’t endure it much longer.
Now that his son and future daughter-in-law had arrived, it was just in time. It was equivalent to a relay.
Tang San and Xiao Wu naturally had no objections.
However, Xiao Wu couldn’t stand the pungent, nauseating smell of blood and the stench of the stagnant pool in the air.
Especially with her sensitive sense of smell, it was even more unbearable.
“Uncle, Little San, then I’ll handle the surrounding soul beast corpses first. It’s too smelly piled up here.” She volunteered to move the decaying bodies.
Tang San furrowed his brow slightly. He glanced at the decaying soul beast corpses around them and then at the tired expression on Tang Hao’s face. He finally relented and nodded. “Alright, be careful. I can also sense the energy fluctuations in the air. There should still be some fearless soul beasts attracted here. Be wary of surprise attacks.”
Xiao Wu knew Tang San was worried about her, and a sweet smile appeared on her face. “Yes, don’t worry!”
After the exchange, Xiao Wu began to act.
Tang San, on the other hand, stayed by his meditating father’s side, diverting some of his attention to control the Blue Silver Emperor vines to help Xiao Wu move the corpses.
Xiao Wu, who was crudely digging pits with kicks to bury the corpses, found this very convenient.
As the open spaces around them began to appear, Tang San thought for a moment, closed his eyes, and the dark golden trident imprint on his brow suddenly lit up, emitting a rich golden light.
“Buzz—”
Tang San raised his right hand to the side. The Seagod Trident, over twelve feet long and shining with infinite golden light, was firmly grasped in his right palm.
Unlike the Seagod Trident he had seen on the offering altar in the Seagod Temple.
At this moment, the black color on the Seagod Trident had completely vanished, leaving only brilliant golden light.
Every golden pattern was ancient and intricate, clearly delineated, extending all the way to the tip.
The main blade of the trident was two feet long and half a foot wide. During the seventh trial, the Vast Sea Scarf, which had fused with the Seagod Trident, transformed into a large diamond-shaped golden gem inlaid in its lower-middle section.
Now, the originally translucent blue Vast Sea Scarf had completely turned golden. The side blades, flanking the main blade, shone with the same watery golden light as their owner. Each side blade had a barb on its outer edge. The three blades of the entire trident were imperceptible, as they had been completely replaced by golden light.
This was Tang San’s second most important gain from the seventh trial, besides officially being recognized as the Seagod’s heir – the divine artifact, the Seagod Trident.
The sacred golden light, belonging to a god, illuminated the area like a lighthouse lit in a mist. The stench in the air, the thick smell of blood, and the abnormal black-green mist mixed within them all gradually dissipated under this sacred and majestic golden light, like clouds parting to reveal the sun. Except for the stagnant pool still accumulating large amounts of floating algae and mud, the surrounding scenery and terrain gradually revealed their original appearance as the impurities vanished.
Bathed in the Seagod’s light, Tang Hao, whose face was pale, paused. His body unconsciously absorbed the light of divine power, and his somewhat unstable aura visibly stabilized.
Tang San, watching this, withdrew his gaze. A purple-golden light flashed in his azure eyes. His mental power, spreading out like a net, clearly saw the soul beasts that had turned and fled upon sensing the divine might of the Seagod Trident.
Good, the external hidden danger was also gone.
Tang San nodded silently in his heart.
With a “boom,” Xiao Wu, who had been kicking piles of soul beast corpses into separate pits, clapped her hands. The pink rabbit ears on top of her head twitched, and she looked towards Tang San and the others about a hundred meters away, as if sensing something.
At the same time, Tang Sui, who felt the Seagod’s divine power, also slightly trembled her lowered eyelids. Her consciousness, deep within the soul space and undergoing great suffering, flickered. It was like a boat swaying in a storm at sea, her consciousness falling and rising, struggling to regain control of her physical body.
The hazy golden light seeped into the dark abyss of consciousness. Two slender figures, one black and one white, huddled together with knees drawn up in a half-curled posture, floated in the depths of the soul. They flickered like candlelight shadows on a wall. Under the projection of the golden light, the shapes of their shadows on the ground began to slowly transform…
Outside, Xiao Wu, having finally cleared the surrounding environment, returned to Tang San’s side.
Thanks to the nourishment of the Seagod’s light, after more than an hour, Tang Hao’s condition had recovered seventy to eighty percent. His complexion had returned to a rosy hue, and his spirit had returned.
“Dad, how are you feeling?” Tang San asked with concern.
Tang Hao opened his eyes, ending his meditation. He subconsciously looked towards Tang Sui’s location, which was still obscured by black mist, and then regretfully withdrew his gaze. He pushed off the ground with his palm, stood up, and stretched his shoulders. He replied, “Recovering quickly. Little San, is your soul power about to reach Titled Douluo?” Su Dan Novel Network
He had been in a poor mental state earlier, and Tang San had deliberately concealed his aura. He hadn’t noticed that his eldest son’s aura felt similar to Sui Sui’s.
Regarding soul power, Tang San paused and looked in the direction of his sister, sighing, “Not at all. You probably feel that way because of the divine artifact in my hand, the Seagod Trident. My soul power only broke through to level 85 a few days ago.”
Xiao Wu calmly patted her boyfriend’s shoulder. “It’s okay, Little San. Among our Shrek Seven Devils, you’re the second strongest now. My soul power is only level 80.”
She just hadn’t obtained her eighth soul ring yet.
Their visit to the Sunset Forest was originally to meet the parents together and check on Da Ming and Er Ming. By chance, her wish had come true when the opportunity arose. Sui Sui was also here, so many things could be done together.
Thinking of something, Xiao Wu bit her lip, her gaze drifted, and her earlobes turned slightly red.
Yes, many things… were to be done…
