Soul Land 5: The Rebirth of Tang San

Chapter 606: Is the Sky Falling?

At the critical moment, Tang San couldn't afford to worry about the consumption of his divine consciousness. At the very center of his spirit core, a golden light suddenly lit up, exuding an aura of immense majesty that filled his sea of consciousness.

At this moment, the entire Golden Valley trembled slightly. The immense pressure from the sky caused the Crimson Fox girls to pale, and the members of the Lion-Tiger clan rushed out from their homes, looking up at the sky.

The Golden Tree—now not just sentient but perfectly intelligent after merging with the spirit essence—immediately sensed that something was going on far beyond its control. The terrifying pressure evoked an indescribable sense of fear within it.

"Is the sky... falling?" a member of the Lion-Tiger clan couldn't help but ask.

But at that moment, from the direction of the cave, a titanic aura suddenly emerged. Its overwhelming majesty made the Lion-Tiger clan members and the Crimson Fox girls prostrate on the ground instinctively, feeling both awe-struck and compelled to worship that existence.

With the emergence of this majestic aura, the pressure from the sky abruptly dissipated. It was as if the entire Golden Valley was suddenly enveloped by a magical barrier, completely isolating it from the outside world.

Inside the cave.

In front of Tang San, a golden light flickered faintly. A golden trident-shaped mark also appeared faintly on his forehead.

The golden light that had rushed into his mind was suppressed by the Sea God's Trident's aura, preventing it from breaking into Tang San's sea of consciousness. Though it continued to clash violently, it was repeatedly suppressed by the Sea God's Trident.

Tang San activated his divine consciousness, using the supreme aura of the Sea God's Trident to forcibly push the golden light back toward the bloodline imprint in his dantian.

Within the dantian, the imprint initially in the second position had now surpassed the Discerning Eye of Heaven. Even the Polar Luck Domain retracted when the golden light erupted, no longer daring to compete with it.

As the golden light was pushed back, the imprint expanded to double its size; it was now at least three times larger than the other imprints. The brilliant golden light illuminated every corner of the dantian. Even the always-sleeping Crystalline now emitted a dazzling light.

Tang San felt as if his entire body was about to shatter. If not for his strong will, he might have already collapsed.

His body seemed to be in a constant state of breaking down and reassembling. The dazzling golden light was rapidly infusing every cell of his body.

At this moment, all Tang San could do was use the overwhelming pressure of the Sea God's Trident to forcibly suppress the golden light, preventing its power from destroying everything around it.

A bizarre scene unfolded. Accompanied by intense pain, Tang San's body seemed to be breaking apart and reassembling itself. His bones, meridians, and internal organs were all coated with a layer of gold, undergoing subtle changes under its influence.

As a former God King, Tang San understood that this was a mutation caused by the new fused imprint. The energy of the imprint was so powerful that it was dramatically affecting and changing his body from its very core.

The intense pain gradually turned into a tingling sensation. The golden light flowed through his entire body, even tinting the other imprints with gold. He felt that the other imprints seemed to have strengthened slightly. Those not originally at the ninth order were slowly evolving in that direction, including the ever-so-difficult-to-cultivate Discerning Eye of Heaven.

As the crisis gradually subsided, Tang San finally had time to think. He vaguely understood what was happening.

Whether it was the Golden Mammoth bloodline or the Behemoth bloodline, both were among the most powerful first-tier bloodlines on the Daemon Continent, both legacies of the Demon Emperors, both standing at the pinnacle of this plane's power.

Using the energy of the Mysterious Heaven Technique, he had forcibly merged these two powerful forces. And since they complemented each other to a certain level, their fusion continuously produced quantitative and qualitative changes.

When these changes reached a certain level—the upper limit of what the bloodline power on this plane could achieve, Tang San believed—a mutation occurred.

It was a destructive mutation or rather, a mutation restricted by the rules of the entire plane. Touching the foundational laws of the plane inevitably led to backlash, which explained this eruption of power: his imprint was simply not allowed to contain so much power.

In other words, this plane did not allow for the emergence of more powerful bloodlines. If first-tier bloodlines had an upper limit, then the bloodline power of the Crystal Demon Emperor, the strongest of the current era, likely approached or even touched the hard ceiling. If a bloodline mutation exceeded this limit, it would be suppressed by the plane, causing a fatal backlash.

The combination of the Golden Mammoth and Behemoth bloodlines clearly cracked this ceiling. In other words, this fused bloodline imprint was beyond any and all first-tier bloodlines.

It was the transcendent bloodline Tang San had previously envisioned, although he’d expected to achieve it through the fusion of the yin and yang energies with the Blue Silver Emperor.

The eruption just now was the inevitable result. This was a law of the plane. Existing within a plane meant being subject to its laws . Unless one reached the level of a Demon Emperor, capable of countering the laws to some extent—like the Celestial Fox Demon Emperor, who subtly guided the plane's fortune to benefit the demons and nymphs, which practically amounted to bending the rules to his advantage.

Tang San did not possess such strength, but as a former God King, he had methods befitting a God King.

The Sea God's Trident, as a supreme artifact, existed beyond the energy level of this plane. Therefore, even the plane's backlash could not overcome its aura. And with the immense deterrence of a God King’s aura, Tang San forcibly suppressed the bloodline riot and backlash from the planar laws.

There was no doubt that this approach would make the plane reject him even more, making it even harder for him to become a god in the future, and the lightning tribulation he would face would be more terrifying. But at this moment, he had no other choice; he had to resolve the immediate problem or face immediate death.

Now, under the suppression of the Sea God's Trident's power, Tang San finally managed to complete the fusion of this imprint. This extreme bloodline power was beginning to show its true might, causing Tang San's body to undergo evolution.

Yes, this was evolution in the truest sense. It was not just rebirth and certainly not mere reinforcement, but true evolution. His very existence was now on a different level.

The emergence of the transcendent bloodline, combined with Tang San's accumulated foundation, meant that although he had not yet broken through to the tenth order, his body had already reached that level. In fact, becoming a god in the physical aspect involved undergoing evolution through the baptism of the lightning tribulation. Tang San hadn’t undergone his tribulation just yet, but the power of the transcendent bloodline was causing a similar transformation. This not only elevated his body's strength to another level, but also caused all his bloodline imprints to evolve as well.

He could not have possibly predicted something like this without personal experience. But now that he did have the personal experience, he found that he had jumped out of the frying pan and into the fire. Namely, after forming this imprint, his cultivation had reached the pinnacle of the ninth order, and he could summon the lightning tribulation at any moment. Sadly, he dared not face the tribulation!

But the benefits were undeniable, giving his strength another significant leap. Now, even without using his divine consciousness, Tang San could contend with most demons and nymphs at the tenth order through sheer physical strength alone.

The reorganization process took a full seven days. When all the dark gold gradually faded, the massive golden imprint in Tang San's dantian sat proudly at the center of the energy vortex. Its radiance lit up the entire dantian, making the other bloodline imprints seem like mere satellites. Even the Discerning Eye of Heaven was no exception.
