Soul Land 5: The Rebirth of Tang San Chapter 260: I Am the Sea God

Chapter 260: I Am the Sea God

The Peacock Great Demon King lifted his head, his gaze still filled with indifference, showing not the slightest intent to submit.

“Give up and submit to me. Although you must die, I can ensure your people survive under my rule. Kali City will also remain unharmed. After all, this is where she lives; I do not wish to disrupt her way of life,” the Crystal Phoenix Demon Emperor said coldly.

“Do you think you have won? Even if we burn all our ancestral fortune, the Peacock clan will never submit,” the Peacock Great Demon King retorted in an equally cold tone. As he spoke, the Peacock Crown on his forehead, which had become somewhat ethereal, suddenly brightened again. Golden flames burst out from the crown, fueled by the crown itself.

“Have you gone mad? Burning the Golden Crown is the same as burning your ancestral fortune. Not only will you die, but once your lineage loses all its ancestral fortune, you will all perish!” The Crystal Phoenix Demon Emperor hadn’t expected the Peacock Great Demon King to take such an extreme measure.

“So what? Even if my entire clan is annihilated, you will live the rest of your life in regret. Let’s see whether I’ll drag you down with me or if you’ll barely cling to life. Even if you do, you’ll suffer endless agony in the future!”

The Peacock Great Demon King’s eyes seemed to grow crazier as the ancestral fortune burned.

The Crystal Phoenix Demon Emperor’s face darkened, understanding that even if he killed the Peacock Great Demon King in this state, he would surely be gravely wounded in the process.

However, at this moment, he had no way out, and neither did the Peacock Great Demon King. Failing to stop the Crystal Phoenix Demon Emperor meant his death and the potential annihilation of the entire Peacock demon race.

The fourth assault thus commenced.

With dazzling crystalline brilliance, the enormous crystal phoenix dove straight for the peacock. The brilliant silver light also peaked again, and the burning Peacock Crown burst with golden radiance, causing Kali City to quake violently.

At that moment, at the distant horizon, the clouds suddenly thickened. A massive pressure appeared, feeling as if it connected heaven and earth. A giant wall of clouds converged toward Kali City.

As the Crystal Phoenix Demon Emperor dove toward the Peacock Great Demon King, both noticed the emergence of the clouds. The terrifying pressure weighed down on their hearts, and their first thoughts were, naturally, that the other’s reinforcements had arrived.

But at this point, both sides were like arrows on fully-drawn bows, and they could not hold back even if they wanted to.

The collision was instantaneous.

Silver light erupted violently, and for once, Kali City faced no turmoil. The power of ancestral fortune, invoked at the cost of burning his own Golden Crown, allowed the Peacock Great Demon King to gain the upper hand for the first time. The Crystal Phoenix Demon Emperor was suddenly transported far away, and upon reappearing, his golden glow was greatly diminished. The gold of the second phoenix tail feather faded away, and even the gold on the last feather dimmed significantly. His aura weakened greatly.

The cost to the Peacock Great Demon King was the collapse of more than half of his Golden Crown, with the flames burning out almost entirely, his gaze dim and lifeless, and his life force plummeting rapidly.

The strong within the city, whether they were of the Peacock Demon race or had followed the Great Crystal Phoenix Demon Emperor, all focused on this battle. No one had anticipated the Peacock Great Demon King would display such tenacity. With Kali City as his support, he had managed not just to withstand the attacks, but even to injure the Crystal Phoenix Demon Emperor severely. By this point, he was undeniably at the end of his strength.

But would the Crystal Phoenix Demon Emperor launch a final strike? It was evident to all that even if he could win, the Crystal Phoenix Demon Emperor would likely suffer irreversible, grave injuries.

He had just condensed his third phoenix tail feather, and that made him the least powerful of all Demon Emperors. Even worse, having just ascended, his foundation was not yet stable. Should the golden light of his three tails extinguish, losing his foundation and possibly falling back to the level of Great Demon King was not out of the question.

Yet at this moment, the shadowy clouds that had been distant a moment ago now loomed over Kali City. Under the immense, heaven-reaching pressure, light seemed distorted, as if sunbeams were reflected off the surface of waves. Within the clouds, enormous water tornadoes appeared with a terrifying momentum as if the clouds were about to crush the city.

Meanwhile, within the Kali Mountains, Dai Yaning, the Dark Raven Demon King, was even more fearful and uncertain.

The masked human male standing before him, holding Mei Gongzi in his arms, looked at him indifferently.

But an overwhelming pressure washed over him, making the Dark Raven Demon King feel like he couldn’t move. This was the powerful oppressive force of a superior being, nearly forcing him to prostrate himself.

He was a demon king, a god-level demon king! He had no reason to feel this way, even in the face of a Demon Emperor! Yet, his divine consciousness trembled uncontrollably. The human before him was nothing but a bug, yet he now appeared towering, eclipsing even the two mighty beings battling in the distant sky.

Who is he? What is he?!

Asura slowly floated toward Dai Yaning. The dark clouds in the distant sky grew increasingly intense, so the two great powers fighting in the air ceased their battle to face the clouds’ coming. Only Dai Yaning could feel that the sky-covering clouds seemed to be the backdrop of this man before him.

Asura slowly raised his hand, gently pressing it against his forehead. Instantly, a speck of golden light appeared, and in the next moment, the golden light spread across his entire body like gilded paint. An immense aura of majesty burst forth from him.

Overwhelmed by intense fear, Dai Yaning could no longer control himself. Black mist erupted, and he instantly fled toward the distance, turning into a misty arrow in an attempt to escape with his fastest movement technique.

However, he only moved when he found that everything around him had frozen. Even more terrifying was that his body, which had turned into mist, was forcibly recondensed. The golden figure reappeared before him at some unknown time as if he had never moved.

This time, behind the golden figure, there was a faint, towering, illusory shadow, presented in water blue. It vaguely looked like a human holding a golden trident. The trident slowly pointed at him, and the rings of golden light it emitted rendered him immobile. Ne/w novel chapt𝒆rs are published on no/vel(/bin(.)co/m

A hand pressed against Dai Yaning’s forehead, and in the next instant, Dai Yaning felt his energy and even his divine consciousness pouring out instantly.

At this very moment, in the distant sky amid the vast clouds, a water-blue figure also took shape—a gigantic apparition standing at a thousand meters tall, holding a golden trident, gazing at the Peacock Great Demon King and the Crystal Phoenix Demon Emperor battling in the air.

Both mighty beings felt they were facing a formidable enemy. They felt as if…someone who had the entire Endless Blue Sea backing them had suddenly appeared.

A powerhouse from the Endless Blue Sea? So there actually was such a formidable existence in the Endless Blue Sea?

The golden trident was slowly raised, then pointed from afar toward the Crystal Phoenix Demon Emperor. At that moment, the heavily injured Crystal Phoenix Demon Emperor felt a chill that made his hair stand on end.

Was this the reinforcements called by the Peacock Great Demon King?

A majestic voice resounded through the heavens, “Those who threaten the ocean shall die! I am the Sea God!”

The golden trident pointed toward the Peacock Great Demon King as he spoke—and torrential rain poured down. Under the illumination of that gigantic blue figure, it seemed as though dry land had turned into an ocean. Light and shadows filled the sky, with countless sea tribe figures flickering in and out of view within the water curtain.

The Crystal Phoenix Demon Emperor and the Peacock Great Demon King exchanged glances, equally filled with bewilderment. Then, the clouds suddenly dispersed like rivers flowing into the sea, heading toward the ocean and vanishing instantly, leaving only trails of vibrant and splendid rainbows in the sky.
