Soul Land 5: The Rebirth of Tang San

Chapter 259: Bloodline of the White Tiger Demon Emperor

Tiger demons had a Demon Emperor of their own, but it was neither a Golden Tiger nor a Radiant Tiger. It was the White Tiger Demon Emperor!

The White Tiger originated from the Radiant Tiger clan, a rare mutation of the Radiant Tiger\'s bloodline. It was revered as a divine sublimation within the light. The White Tiger Demon Emperor ranked among the foremost of the current Demon Emperors, comparable even to the Celestial Fox Demon Emperor in status.

The Dark Raven Demon King was instantly intimidated, but this feeling lasted only a moment as Mei Gongzi had already turned tail and ran. Her body shimmered with silver light, and after three flickers, she was already a hundred meters away.

At this moment, behind them, Kali City once again trembled violently. The third clash between the Crystal Phoenix Demon Emperor and the Peacock Great Demon King in the sky had ended.

Inside Kali City, the ground shook, the mountains swayed, and the silver light in the sky dimmed rapidly. The golden glow around the Crystal Phoenix Demon Emperor also faded considerably, with only two of its three phoenix tail feathers maintaining their golden hue. However, judging by the situation and aura, it was still faring much better than the Peacock Great Demon King.

After glancing at the battle in the sky, the Dark Raven Demon King did not hesitate even for a moment. A black phantom instantly flew out, chasing directly toward Mei Gongzi. Even though the spatial transmission was swift, the pursuit of a god-level flying demon was not something to be easily shaken off.

Using the remnants of dark aura left on Mei Gongzi as a conduit, the Dark Raven Demon King appeared in the next moment right next to her.

Darkness enveloped her, and Mei Gongzi felt her bloodline power shift, and her aura immediately dropped.

Bloodsucking Ravens, the innate ability of the Dark Raven clan. They could devour an enemy\'s bloodline energy to replenish their own. Thus, the Dark Raven clan was notoriously difficult to kill on the battlefield. The bloodline power they absorbed temporarily enhanced their own and increased their vitality.

She was done for! Mei Gongzi realized that her techniques were feeble before a god-level powerhouse. At this moment, she was out of options. What puzzled her the most was why Asura, who had always synchronized mysteriously well with her since she began to act, had not moved from start to finish. She hadn\'t even seen Asura\'s figure while fleeing. Had he seen the futility and left first?

Just then, she suddenly heard a commanding voice in her ear.

SCRAM.

In an instant, her sea of consciousness turned blank, and Mei Gongzi felt a formidable spiritual power sweep over her.

In the next moment, she knew nothing at all.

The Dark Raven Demon King had wrapped Mei Gongzi in black mist and was using it to leech her bloodline energy. However, the mist suddenly shivered as if struck by lightning, and the Dark Raven Demon King flew back in shock.

A steady hand caught Mei Gongzi, who was about to fall, drawing her soft, delicate body into an embrace.

He was still masked, still in his original attire, but he seemed different somehow.

His eyes held a trace of indifference yet seemed to possess endless authority. He coldly observed Dai Yangning, the Dark Raven Demon King, as he leaped from the black mist and resumed his human form.

Dai Yangning\'s face was filled with terror as he stared at the masked figure before him, "Who... who are you, exactly?"

In that shout from earlier, he had felt an incredibly terrifying pressure, the pressure of a divine consciousness the likes of which he hadn’t even felt in the presence of the Crystal Phoenix Demon Emperor.

As he recalled the White Tiger bloodline in Mei Gongzi, how could he not feel fear?

"Do you think you could have found us if I hadn\'t deliberately let you? Perhaps the fellow in the sky might have had a chance," Asura said coolly.

"What do you mean..." Dai Yangning\'s gaze was fixed on the figure before him. He exuded the aura of a seventh-order being and seemed to be human, but... what was with that fluctuation of divine consciousness just now?

Asura cast a distant glance at the sky where the Crystal Phoenix Demon Emperor was preparing a fourth assault, and Wang Qing, the Peacock Great Demon King, whose temporary elevation to Demon Emperor status was on the verge of collapse.

He sighed softly. "After all, we need more time! It falls upon me to buy that time."

As he spoke, he turned eastward, and his eyes swiftly turned golden.

"Come," Tang San uttered softly.

A strange aura burst forth from him, manifesting as a pale blue halo.

When the halo appeared, Dai Yangning, the Dark Raven Demon King, was horrified to find that the human before him had changed completely. This pale blue halo seemed to exude a towering dignity, almost as if it looked down upon the world itself. Everything around seemed to distort instantly; even with his demon king-level cultivation, he could not move an inch.

To the east of Kali City, hundreds of miles away, lay a boundless sea. This sea covered most of the surface of the planet Falan, its horizon endless.

Legend had it that numerous powerful sea tribes resided within this sea, among which there were beings strong enough to contend with Demon Emperors.

But the legends were only legends, and no sea tribe had ever dared to attack the Daemon Continent; after all, demons and nymphs were the true rulers of this world.

The legendary azure sea was known by a beautiful name: the Endless Blue Sea.

Endless, boundless almost, this blue sea housed countless living beings within its vast expanse.

The Endless Blue Sea was usually calm, and even the demons and nymphs living near its shores rarely ventured into its depths for food, for they genuinely knew the sea clans existed. Perhaps the overall power of the sea clans couldn\'t match that of the demons and nymphs. Yet, the Endless Blue Sea was so vast that not even a Demon Emperor would readily leave the land to enter it, for no one knew what might they might encounter within this boundless blue.

But at that very moment, upon the Endless Blue Sea, waves suddenly arose, churning seemingly without cause. Large swathes of vapor ascended into dark clouds in the sky, obscuring the sun, as the endless steam surged upward.

Thousands upon thousands of sea creatures wandered to the surface, gazing into the sky, not knowing what had happened, yet feeling an instinctual fear and reverence that seemed to stem from their very souls.

Within the increasingly dense dark clouds, a faint golden light flickered. Within thousands of miles near the Daemon Continent\'s eastern coast, all sea clans were alarmed, watching the changes in the sky with terror.

Boom!

A fierce clap of thunder, accompanied by countless golden flashes of lightning, shook the ocean.

Whatever beings could dive immediately retreated beneath the sea\'s surface, shivering uncontrollably.

The dark clouds drifted, moving westward.

Kali City.

The Crystal Phoenix Demon Emperor had a cruel smile at the corner of his mouth. With each attack against the Peacock Great Demon King\'s Star Shift, he had to withstand a powerful backlash. However, this also significantly drained his opponent’s strength.

The Star Shift of the Peacock Demon lineage was powerful, such that even the Crystal Phoenix Demon Emperor could not harm the Peacock Great Demon King. No, the real damage to the Peacock Great Demon King came from the backlash of calling upon his ancestral fortune.

His body was becoming increasingly weak, as invoking ancestral fortune required using his essence blood. The Crystal Phoenix Demon Emperor was confident that with two more strikes at the most, the Peacock Great Demon King would fall. Even if it meant the collapse of the entire Kali City, it mattered little.
