Soul Land 5: The Rebirth of Tang San

Chapter 741: Crossing the Tribulation, Starting From This Moment

After hearing Tang San's plan, she felt there was a slight chance of success, so how could she not actively cooperate with Tang San? She even felt somewhat expectant; after all, the more terrifying the tribulation, the greater the benefits would be once it was successfully crossed.

Crystalline walked to Tang San's side, sat down cross-legged beside him, and gently nodded to him.

Tang San squinted his eyes slightly. He slowly floated up, and he stood at the center of the Heavenly Bloom. He took a deep breath, and his aura surged. After the recent integration, the nine bloodlines within him had reached a perfectly balanced state. His being began to ascend rapidly.

The golden trident's light pattern reappeared on his forehead, and at this moment, Tang San's aura began to transform. His divine consciousness fused with the golden trident's seed of intent, and as he sensed the aura of the Sea God’s Trident somewhere far away, his eyes became increasingly bright.

Waves of sound like sacred chanting arose around him, and intense light quickly surged, casting a massive golden shadow behind him. In an instant, Tang San's gaze became sharp as lightning, and he stared into the sky.

Suddenly, a loud boom erupted from the Heavenly Bloom, and a massive golden light pillar shot up into the sky, piercing the clouds.

Not far away, the Celestial Fox Demon Emperor felt an earth-shattering will erupt, causing the entire Hell Garden to tremble violently. The flowers began to wither rapidly, and all the fortune seemed to be converging toward the golden light pillar.

His expression changed drastically, and he did not dare to be negligent. With a shake of his arms, he revealed his true form, transforming into a nine-tailed Celestial Fox over a hundred meters tall, with each tail extending more than three hundred meters. The nine tails spread across the sky. He emitted a large amount of fortune into the Hell Garden, stabilizing the plane.

The Hell Garden could not be allowed to shatter; otherwise, it would be a catastrophic disaster for the Celestial Fox clan.

At the Celestial Fox Sacred Mountain.

The golden light, which had originally subsided, suddenly intensified again. Moreover, the Celestial Fox Sacred Mountain itself began to emit white light, but the white light seemed to collapse inward, pouring into the mountain's core.

A golden light pillar shot up into the sky without any warning, instantly piercing the heavens.

The Emperors, who had just resisted another wave of lightning, almost instinctively scattered. In the next moment, the golden light pillar had already penetrated the tribulation clouds.

The pitch-black tribulation clouds were instantly illuminated, turning into dark gold clouds. At that moment, all the purple vanished, replaced by a deep golden color. The golden lightning, filled with the fury of the entire plane, surged and roared madly, as if the apocalypse was about to descend.

"CONTINGENCY PLAN!" shouted the Sunborne Nymph Emperor without hesitation.

It was evident that the Celestial Fox Demon Emperor had not resolved the issue and had not even emerged himself. Now, the only option was to guide the tribulation, specifically targeting the entity undergoing the tribulation beneath the Celestial Fox Sacred Mountain. This was far better than having the Ancestral Court destroyed.

In an instant, more than a dozen Emperors quickly formed a circle, each infusing their formidable power into the sky, creating a ring.

Boom!

Massive golden lightning descended from the sky, carrying a world-ending momentum as it crashed down.

Each of the Emperors radiated a unique light, and their terrifying auras intertwined, surrounding the golden lightning within a defined range. They then compressed it inward, finally transforming it into a golden light pillar as thick as a water barrel, which shot straight toward the golden light rising from the Celestial Fox Sacred Mountain.

On the Heavenly Bloom, Tang San's expression turned solemn. His spiritual power was being converted into divine consciousness at breakneck speed. He could clearly sense the changes in the tribulation.

The initial tribulations had been blocked by the Emperors outside, but this golden lightning tribulation was the most powerful tribulation in existence. This lightning could not be resisted even by Emperors—could he withstand it?

The answer was, of course, no.

The plane wanted to annihilate him with a single strike, giving him no chance at all.

But at that moment, in front of Tang San, black and white halos flickered, and black and white rotated as yin-yang energy surged. The translucent Blue Silver Emperor emerged from the yin-yang energy. On its leaves, a droplet of chaos energy gently swayed. Tang San raised his hand and flicked it, and the drop of chaos energy immediately ascended into the air, drifting above his head.

When the Celestial Fox Demon Emperor sensed that the lightning had pierced through space and directly descended, despair immediately filled his eyes. He had no idea what the Crystal Demon Emperor had done to provoke such a violent tribulation from the plane, but the strength of the Hell Garden, even with his protection, would be unable to withstand such a tribulation!

In this crisis, all he could do was use his fortune power to protect himself and Mei Gongzi, who was standing beside him, mouth agape. He stared wide-eyed, watching how the Crystal Demon Emperor would respond.

His only hope now was that the Crystal Demon Emperor would not seek death without reason. The longer beings like them had lived, the more they feared death.

Terrifying lightning descended from the sky, and the violent roar made the heavens and earth tremble. However, just as the massive golden lightning pillar reached a hundred meters above the Heavenly Bloom, a strange scene suddenly occurred. The enormous golden light pillar unexpectedly stalled momentarily, and the previously world-ending aura abruptly halted.

It felt like a mother disciplining her child, raising her hand high to strike hard, but softening the blow as it neared the child's bottom.

Then, the vast sky of lightning suddenly exploded, shattering into countless fine golden sparks that descended from the heavens, sweeping downward.

Tang San's body instantly erupted with dazzling golden light as the Golden Armor Transformation took over. With the augmentation of yin-yang energy, it was protecting him like never before. Countless electric sparks instantly coiled around him, causing his entire body to tremble violently.

Even though the lightning of the Nine Heavens Ten Earths Divine Extinguishing Tribulation had shattered, its destructive power was still terrifying. Tang San had pushed his blood and qi to their limits, yet he could still clearly feel the excruciating pain tearing through his body and divine consciousness.

His facial muscles twisted from the pain, but at this moment, his gaze remained resolute.

Crystalline was right beside him and could clearly see the changes in Tang San's body. Actually, she was merely a projection; the real Crystalline was still within Tang San, part of the imprint in his dantian. From there, she could also feel the intense pain brought by the terrifying lightning. Even she felt as though she might collapse from it, yet Tang San endured it.

She also clearly saw that the transparent, water-like droplet was quietly suspended in the air. The terrifying lightning from earlier had disintegrated because it had reached close to this drop of chaos energy.

Chaos energy was the original essence produced when a plane was born. If this essence were destroyed, it would destabilize the very foundation of the plane. No matter how much Falan Planet's planar ruler hated Tang San and wanted to annihilate him, it would never want to destroy its own chaos energy!

Even though this drop of chaos energy now belonged to Tang San, as long as he remained on this plane, on this planet, the significance of the chaos energy still persisted.

This was why Tang San had been so determined to find a way to condense the yin-yang energy after discovering it. Forming this transcendent bloodline was essential; without this drop of chaos energy, he would have had no chance of crossing the tribulation.
