Soul Land 5: The Rebirth of Tang San Chapter 303: Sea God

Chapter 303: Sea God

“Master, let’s go. Eldest brother, you guys should keep cultivating here.”

Tang San greeted Wu Bingji and the rest, then headed out of the valley with Zhang Haoxuan.

Zhang Haoxuan felt a nagging prickling sensation throughout his body. He was like an inflated balloon on the verge of exploding.

Once out of the valley, golden light flickered behind Tang San as a pair of huge golden wings unfolded from his back.

“Master, climb on my back. I will carry you.” Tang San said.

At such a time, Zhang Haoxuan naturally did not stand on ceremony and immediately climbed onto Tang San’s back.

Tang San’s wings flapped. Driven by the eighth-order power of the Mysterious Heaven Technique, the Golden Roc Transformation made him faster than ever; within moments, they were far from Golden Valley, heading northeast.

The Golden Roc was the fastest among all flying demons, and stories said that it could traverse ninety thousand li in one stretch, its golden form darting through the sky like a shooting star.

Zhang Haoxuan concentrated inwardly, struggling to contain the explosive energy within his body. He couldn’t help but smile bitterly. Rêađ lat𝒆st ch𝒂pters on n𝒐/v/𝒆/l(b)i𝒏(.)c𝒐m

There were already some god-level powerhouses in the Redemption Society, like Si Ru. He had naturally inquired in detail about how Si Ru had broken through years ago. But to his knowledge, absolutely no one had ever reached the state he was in before a breakthrough. Getting himself blown up like a balloon, what was this all about?

Despite his condition, Zhang Haoxuan felt a sense of amusement. While his present state was certainly not ideal, it seemed he didn’t need to prepare much for his breakthrough, nor did he need to exert effort to stimulate his energy. It felt as though he was constipated, and with just a little relaxation, everything would burst forth immediately.

Tang San’s flight was swift, and it wasn’t long before Zhang Haoxuan heard the sound of the waves.

“Tang San, be careful. The Endless Blue Sea is swarming with sea demons,” Zhang Haoxuan hastily warned.

How could he ever know what Tang San felt inside when he saw the boundless sea?

Before him stretched an endless expanse of azure, and the deep, inscrutable blue in the distance slowly turned pale and transparent closer to the shore, the clear waters revealing the fine sand beneath. A gentle sea breeze wafted by, carrying the distinctive scent and moisture of the sea.

Seagulls occasionally flew across the sky, their cries clear and melodious. The depths seemed filled with endless mysteries. Rich water elemental energy permeated the air, and Tang San could vaguely feel the vast life energy surging from within the sea—an unmistakable sign of the countless marine lives gathered together.

The sea…

This was the sea of this world!

Although he had been here for over a decade, this was his first time seeing its sea, and everything here moved him profoundly.

Tang San took a deep breath and reassured, “Don’t worry, Master.”

His wings flapped once more, propelling him and Zhang Haoxuan away from the shore.

A point of golden light appeared on Tang San’s forehead. It was not bright, but it allowed Tang San to sense everything below him.

Strangely, where Tang San passed, the tumultuous sea became calm, as if not even a single wave dared to rise.

Deep in the Endless Blue Sea, sea demons subconsciously lifted their heads, sensing something that brought them a strange joy stemming from somewhere deep within their souls. It was as if the Endless Blue Sea had suddenly gained a special charm, filling each of them with heartfelt delight.

The next moment, a multitude of sea creatures began surging toward the surface, swimming swiftly with joy and anticipation.

A faint smile appeared at the corner of Tang San’s lips.

Memories of his previous life flooded his mind. He vividly remembered undergoing nine difficult trials and finally standing in the temple, grasping the golden trident that symbolized dominion over the sea. The moment he drew the trident, he claimed his godly seat.

Indeed! In his past life, he was a God King, and his godly seat was that of the Sea God! He was Sea God Tang San!

In this life, the bit of divine consciousness he still had was a remnant of the Sea God. In other words, the Sea God still existed, in a sense. And even though he was in another world, the sea itself was the same, as familiar as ever. Here, he could clearly feel his divine consciousness becoming ever so active, so exhilarated. In this place, the nourishment of his divine consciousness was noticeably accelerating. Even if he used some of his divine power here, it would quickly replenish. The sea itself was his home ground, the world he was meant to dominate. This was why he had insisted on bringing Zhang Haoxuan here for his breakthrough—because here, he could fully protect his master.

Zhang Haoxuan suddenly felt something strange; the sound of the waves had disappeared. The scent of the sea was still there, but… why had everything become so calm?

What’s going on?

He instinctively peered over Tang San’s shoulder, and then he witnessed a scene he would never forget.

The calm sea was like a lake’s surface, not a single ripple to be seen. And on that tranquil surface, a dense array of various heads poked out of the water.

These were various types of fish, sea turtles, seals, and walruses, some small and some large. An enormous army of marine creatures stretched as far as the eye could see. At this moment, they all peered above the surface, silently watching them… or rather, watching Tang San.

A drop of cold sweat trickled down Zhang Haoxuan’s forehead.

Tang San seemed to sense his master’s nervousness, and in the next instant, he threw back his head and let out a long howl. Simultaneously, the golden light on his forehead shone brightly.

A golden halo expanded rapidly from his forehead, and his howl carried far across the sea. Immediately, the dense mass of sea demons that had surfaced plunged back into the sea, and the vast expanse of water turned completely still. At the same time, however, a rich essence of life quickly converged toward Tang San.

“Master, let’s begin,” Tang San said to Zhang Haoxuan.

Zhang Haoxuan had a very peculiar expression on his face. “You… are you a sea demon?”

Tang San responded helplessly, “You’re overthinking it. I am just a human, one hundred percent pure human. Haven’t you checked before? It’s just that I have an affinity with the sea. There’s no time to explain now. You should focus on your breakthrough first. Once you’ve broken through, I’ll explain everything while we return.”

“Hmm…”

Zhang Haoxuan let go of Tang San’s shoulders and took some distance. This was indeed not the time for discussions.

His short hair suddenly turned fiery red as rich fire elemental energy burst forth from within him. The bloodline of the Blaze Lion surged within him, causing his body to instantly increase in size. Supported by the power of his bloodline, he floated in midair. Flames roared around his body, and his eyes also turned a deep red. The powerful energy that had been suppressed within him now burst forth freely.

Tang San flapped his golden wings, flying to a distance, and silently watched Zhang Haoxuan’s transformation.

Helping Zhang Haoxuan ascend to the god level was also crucial for him; this was a vital moment for understanding this world. Only by gaining a deeper understanding could he attempt to communicate with this plane and find a way to achieve his own divinity.

Zhang Haoxuan took a deep breath and roared toward the sky. Instantly, golden-red flames surged upward, searing half the sky, which seemed to twist and warp.
