Chapter 342 The Sea God Becomes Tang San's New Father
In an instant, the sacred temple of faith within Bo Saixi's heart collapsed. The once-beautiful sea in her memory now seemed covered in gloom.
This was the god she had worshipped for a hundred years!
Xiao Bai had followed him in battle across the seas, his closest companion, loyally guarding Sea God Island for so many years. Yet he could simply forget all their shared history, helping Tang San—a man who had never contributed to Sea God Island—become Xiao Bai's killer.
As for Xiao Bai, the Demon Soul Great White Shark King, her strength was useless under the Sea God's pressure. She couldn't move at all. Her eyes were filled with despair, her heart utterly dead.
If time could go back, all she wished was to return to ten thousand years ago, when the Sea God was weak—just to slap him to death on the beach with her tail.
"Lord Sea God, you are my reborn parent!"
Tang San's face lit with wild joy. The Sea God's actions left even this selfish Tang San with tears in his eyes.
Sea God's Trident, Golden Thirteen Strikes, Third Form: No Return!
A violent surge of energy burst from the Sea God's Trident. A phantom golden beam shot out, flashing toward Xiao Bai at lightning speed.
"Tang San, Sea God, you two despicable beings—you will never meet a good end!"
Knowing she was doomed, Xiao Bai let out one final roar.
Boom!
In the next moment, the attack from the golden trident struck her. Under the Sea God's pressure, unable to even summon her soul power for defense, Xiao Bai's body was instantly torn to pieces by the golden light.
As her form vanished, a blood-red soul ring slowly took shape, and a head soul bone radiating deep blue light floated up.
Besides the soul ring and soul bone, there was also a deep blue orb hovering in the air.
The Shark Pearl!
Just as the Deep Sea Demon Whale King's death left behind a whale pearl, so too did Xiao Bai, after surpassing one hundred thousand years of cultivation, produce this rare treasure. It was the most important possession of the Demon Soul Great White Shark clan and the royal family's inheritance.
"Tang San!"
At that moment, the Sea God's majestic voice rang out: "Take that Shark Pearl—it will help greatly in your final god trial!"
After altering the content of the Eighth Trial, the Sea God had given up hope of Tang San finding the Sea God's Heart.
The best substitute was the whale pearl of the Deep Sea Demon Whale King, but Tang San was too weak to defeat such a near-million-year beast. Xiao Bai's Shark Pearl was inferior, but it would do.
The Sea God had already guessed Tang San would target Xiao Bai, since he had yet to absorb the last soul ring and head soul bone for his Clear Sky Hammer. But the Sea God didn't care. To die for the Sea God was Xiao Bai's honor.
As for any bond with Xiao Bai—please. Would the mighty Sea God care about a mere mount from ten thousand years ago?
"Yes, Lord Sea God!"
Tang San now saw the Sea God as his real father. How could he possibly disobey? His right hand formed a claw, soul power surged, and he drew the Shark Pearl into his palm.
"What incredible energy!"
As soon as it entered his hand, Tang San sensed the immense energy inside. His own soul power stirred restlessly, eager to refine it immediately.
Fortunately, thanks to his new 'adoptive father' the Sea God's advice, Tang San forced himself to suppress the urge, storing the Shark Pearl in his soul guide.
After storing away the Shark Pearl, Tang San turned and glanced at Bo Saixi.
The High Priestess of Sea God Island was now filled with grief and anger, but under the Sea God's divine pressure, she couldn't move a single step.
Tang San completely relaxed and turned to Dai Mubai. "Mubai, I'm going to absorb the Demon Soul Great White Shark's soul ring and soul bone. Guard me!"
The former "Boss Dai" nodded knowingly, stepping forward to block Bo Saixi just in case.
Tang San raised his left hand, releasing his Clear Sky Hammer spirit. Guided by his soul power, he began absorbing the soul ring and soul bone of the Demon Soul Great White Shark King.
Because Xiao Bai's dying resentment was so intense, as soon as the soul ring entered his body, Tang San felt a savage, violent aura rampaging inside him. Blood-red soul power flashed constantly across his body.
But after entering Sea God Island, Tang San's new 'father' had already loaded him up with buffs.
Brilliant Sea God's Light swept out, instantly erasing Xiao Bai's lingering spirit. After about an hour, Tang San had finished absorbing both the soul ring and soul bone.
"Xiao San, how does it feel?"
Dai Mubai came over and asked with a grin.
Tang San grinned wide. "The power of a hundred-thousand-year soul ring and soul bone is terrifying—I actually leveled up twice in a row!"
"Heavens, Xiao San, you rascal, you've hit rank ninety-eight!"
Dai Mubai excitedly punched Tang San in the chest. He knew that after absorbing the Blue Silver Emperor's ninth soul ring in Star Dou Forest, and bringing his Clear Sky Hammer up to eight soul rings, Tang San had reached rank ninety-six. Now, with two more levels, he was at ninety-eight!
Tang San nodded, then looked at Bo Saixi and said calmly, "Senior Bo Saixi, I know you probably can't accept some of my actions, but everything I've done is for the future of Sea God Island. Even Lord Sea God himself has no objections!"
Bo Saixi was, after all, a rank ninety-nine Ultimate Douluo. After the failed assassination at Heaven Dou Palace and the loss of many Title Douluo, Tang San still hoped she would continue following his orders.
Bo Saixi looked at Tang San coldly and said nothing.
Tang San looked up at the sky and said, "Lord Sea God, please remove your suppression of Senior Bo Saixi. I think she just needs some time to accept this, and she'll understand your good intentions."
He had just committed a bloody act, yet now put on the air of a thoughtful nice guy. The sight nearly made Bo Saixi sick.
The Sea God withdrew his suppression. In any case, this was Sea God Island—he could bring down his divine power whenever he wanted, and now that Tang San was rank ninety-eight, even Bo Saixi couldn't kill him in one blow.
With the suppression gone, Bo Saixi staggered back several steps, her soul power erupting like a volcano.
Tang San smiled and said, "Lord Bo Saixi, there's no need for this. Lord Sea God won't allow you to attack us."
Dai Mubai looked completely fearless.
Bo Saixi's face turned resolute. "Tang San, I really can't kill you. But you'll never become the Sea God in this life!"
