Soul Land 5: The Rebirth of Tang San

Chapter 676: Authority Over the Sea

"It's fine, take me there. Even if there are stronger Sea Walruses, I guarantee that none of them will harm you." As he spoke, the golden trident mark on Tang San's forehead flickered briefly.

The Sea Shark immediately sensed something and responded with utmost respect, "Yes, Your Excellency."

It turned around, positioning itself beneath Tang San, carefully bearing his weight. A layer of blue light rippled from its body, enveloping both itself and Tang San, before it suddenly accelerated, heading toward the depths of the sea.

The ninth-order Sea Shark swam through the sea at full speed, moving as swiftly as the wind. Tang San also retracted his Sea God aura, silently sensing the energy fluctuations within the Endless Blue Sea.

The deeper they ventured into the sea, the more vast and pure the energy of the Endless Blue Sea became, and the more powerful the sea clans grew.

Tang San lightly pressed his right hand against his forehead, his divine consciousness subtly fluctuating as he attuned himself to the surrounding sea's energy. Strange sensations continuously arose, and the golden pattern of the Sea God’s Trident flickered in and out of view, radiating a peculiar glow.

The energy contained within this Endless Blue Sea was far more immense than he had imagined. Although the Daemon Continent was incredibly vast and rich, it turned out that it paled in comparison to the Endless Blue Sea. He was certain that if the Celestial Fox Demon Emperor hadn't diverted the majority of the world's fortune to the Daemon Continent, the number of powerful sea clans would far exceed those on land.

In the future, if he were to ascend to godhood, he could indeed harness some of the Endless Blue Sea's energy to enhance himself. This would undoubtedly accelerate the recovery of his cultivation.

Five hundred nautical miles didn’t mean all that much to the Sea Shark. After half an hour, the Sea Shark slowly surfaced, allowing Tang San to see the scene above the waves.

Tang San placed one hand on its dorsal fin as he gazed ahead.

A dark line had already appeared in his vision. With his Purple Demon Eyes activated, he could clearly see a massive island stretching across the horizon.

This island was fairly large. Although it was obvious that it was not a continent, the coastline visible from where he was stretched for tens of kilometers. Even if this was the longer side of the island, it was still a vast area.

Moreover, the vegetation on the island was extremely lush, making the entire island appear completely green. The island was brimming with a rich aura of life.

At that moment, the sea ahead suddenly became turbulent. Waves surged up suddenly, and massive waves rushed toward Tang San and the Sea Shark.

Blue light surged around the Sea Shark, rapidly gathering into itself before transforming into a massive blue light that slashed forward.

The incoming waves were instantly split in two, crashing down on either side.

"Your Excellency, it's the Sea Walrus clan," the Sea Shark's somewhat timid voice came through.

It was naturally not afraid of one or two Sea Walruses, but coming toward them wasn't just one or two!

Tang San, of course, sensed it as well. In the sea ahead, a few dozen colossal creatures were heading in their direction.

The Sea Walruses were simply massive; each of those swimming toward them was at least ten meters long, and they were far bulkier than the Sea Shark. Their long tusks protruded more than a meter, and the surging energy waves they emitted caused the sea to roil continuously. They began to surround them; despite their bulky appearance, these walruses moved surprisingly fast in the water.

Under normal circumstances, the Sea Shark's only choice at this point would be to turn around and flee, as the Sea Walruses could not match it in speed.

But with Tang San present, the Sea Shark could only muster its courage, releasing its own aura to confront the encroaching walruses.

The lead walrus came forward. It was enormous, over fifteen meters in length, with a massive body. Judging by its aura, it was also at the ninth-order.

When he saw it, Tang San's eyes suddenly lit up. He wanted to complete his mission and return as soon as possible, so he was naturally unwilling to waste time. The aura of the Sea God Trident was released once more.

Immediately, the aggressive Sea Walruses surrounding them halted, almost instinctively lowering their heads. Sea beasts that were not gods found it nearly impossible to muster any thoughts of resistance in the face of Tang San's Sea God aura, and even though they didn't know where it came from, they still instinctively submitted.

Tang San's Sea God aura wasn't just the aura of the Sea God from his previous life on Douluo Continent. It was the aura of a Sea God who commanded all the seas, and any sea from any place subordinate to his divine realm had to submit. Although Falan Planet was not within the coverage of Tang San's former Douluo Divine Realm, the aura of the sea remained the same. And since this place was neither a divine realm itself nor subordinate to one, Tang San's Sea God aura was just as effective here.

"Who is in charge here?" Tang San said.

The biggest Sea Walrus hurriedly swam over, looking at Tang San with some uncertainty. "Your Excellency, I am."

"I need to inspect the island. Lead the way," Tang San said calmly.

The walrus glanced at the Sea Shark beneath Tang San and hesitated, "But, your mount..."

Tang San replied, "It is merely something I encountered along the way and had it guide me. Do you have a problem? Does your clan have a god around here? Have them come see me."

The walrus hesitated for a moment but eventually signaled its clanmates to make way. "Please, proceed to the island."

Tang San lightly tapped the Sea Shark's back with his toe. "You may go."

With that, he leaped into the air, his wings spreading behind him as he flew straight toward the large island.

As he soared into the sky, the full view of the island came into his sight.

The island was indeed large, and as it turned out, the coastline Tang San had seen wasn't even the longest side. Moreover, on the far side of this large island, there were several smaller ones, forming an archipelago.

Each island was lush and teeming with vegetation, with a very rich aura of life. The ecosystem here was clearly well-preserved. Undoubtedly, this was a place suitable for habitation.

Tang San was observing from the air when a deep voice suddenly came from the island.

"Where does Your Excellency come from? What race are you, and why do you possess an aura that commands the reverence of my clan?"

Tang San's eyes narrowed slightly. He flapped his wings and descended toward the beach of the large island.

At that moment, a large patch of sand on the beach began to churn, and a massive body resembling a meatball slowly emerged.

This creature was over twenty meters long, and probably ten meters around the "waist." Its extremely obese body wriggled like an oversized larva, and it seemed to have difficulty turning its head. Its long tusks supported its weight on the ground, and a pair of eyes, which seemed tiny compared to its body, stared at Tang San with astonishment and suspicion.

Tang San nodded toward it and said, "Are you the one in charge here?"

"Indeed, I am Hai Sheng[1], an elder of the Sea Walrus clan," the giant walrus replied in a deep voice. As a Sea King, it had a certain resistance to the aura Tang San exuded, unlike its lower-order peers that didn't even dare to move in his presence.

Tang San said, "I am human. I hold the authority to command the sea." @@novelbin@@

"A human? The authority to command the sea?" Hai Sheng was taken aback. "Even the Sea Dragon King wouldn't dare make such a boast. You should choose your words carefully."

Tang San gazed at it calmly, raising his right hand slowly into the air. The golden trident mark on his forehead instantly radiated a dazzling brilliance, and countless motes of light converged toward his right hand. The sea suddenly became calm within a hundred-mile radius of the island.

A dazzling golden light erupted from Tang San's eyes, and a massive, ethereal figure slowly emerged behind him.

He slowly uttered, word by word, "I said, I hold the authority to command the sea!"
