Facing the incoming Da Xumi Hammer.
Tang Lan used a Blood Escape Technique for short-distance acceleration and dodged.
Recovering his senses.
He threw all ten stored Soul Stings at Xue Di.
Such repeated heavy strikes.
Even Xue Di, caught off guard, was severely injured.
She turned into a streak of light, smashing through several ice mountains in succession.
Disappearing from sight.
Tang Lan used the Blood Escape Technique, flashing to Bing Di's front.
The longer four Eight Spider Spears pierced into her four limbs and lifted her up, while the shorter four spears clamped her.
While releasing poison to paralyze Bing Di, he also devoured her life force, preventing her from recovering.
Tang Hao dispersed the Haotian Hammer, landing beside Tang Lan.
He couldn't stand firm and staggered.
Exploding Da Xumi Hammer three times in a row.
Even with the soul bone skill resetting his state, the consumption on his spirit could not be reversed.
Right now his brain felt like it was being stabbed by needles, painful beyond measure.
Unable to fight anymore.
Tang Lan's condition was a little better, but his internal power was also exhausted, and Vajra Indestructible Divine Art automatically deactivated.
Nine Yang Divine Art operated at full power, continuously restoring internal power.
Allowing him to activate the Life Soul Heart again and devour Bing Di to replenish himself.
Only then did he catch his breath.
"Dad, you go inside and recover first."
He forcefully released a Boundless Sea Soul Seal, storing Tang Hao into Lan Wang.
"Swoosh—"
Xue Di returned.
Her white dress was torn, snow-white long hair disheveled and flying, her aura unstable.
Even as a 690,000-year fierce beast—
To take a full-charged Da Xumi Hammer from 98-rank Tang Hao head-on—
She almost died on the spot!
But this was the Extreme North, with endless ice-snow power.
So she was only severely injured.
Seeing only Tang Lan left,
Although Xue Di could kill him with one palm, she didn't act rashly because Bing Di hung on the Eight Spider Spears.
She didn't want to see Bing Di become a cold soul ring.
"Human!" Xue Di suppressed her anger, "Put down Bing Di, and I will let you leave the Extreme North safely!"
Tang Lan smiled.
Finally could stop fighting and use mouth-technique negotiation.
"We didn't come here to kill you. Instead, we came with goodwill to change the fate of soul beasts."
This made Bing Di sneer.
"Human, you think we soul beasts are inferior and brainless?"
Above, Xue Di didn't speak, but her eyes showed calmness.
This instead showed her attitude—distrust.
Tang Lan helplessly spread his hands.
"Bing Di, think about it yourself."
"Those Ice Jade Scorpions attacked us first, but did I kill them?"
"You attacked us without reason."
"When Xue Di appeared, she immediately used an Emperor Sword kill move."
"Did you give me any chance to speak?"
Speaking of this, Bing Di suddenly struggled violently!
"You hateful human, you dared hunt our Ice Jade Scorpion race to obtain an external soul bone?"
"If I don't kill you, who should I kill?"
Tang Lan rubbed his forehead helplessly.
He summoned his Life Soul Blue Silver Emperor. Although the soul ring had exploded, its noble domain master aura could not be faked.
"My mother is a 100,000-year soul beast Blue Silver Emperor, so my first martial soul can condense a life soul ring, needing no soul-beast kills."
Then he summoned the Thunder-Flame Haotian Hammer.
"This second martial soul still has no soul rings."
Then he showed the Sea God Seal on his left hand, releasing divine aura.
"I swear by the name of the Sea God successor!"
"Since my birth, except for counter-killing one Man-Faced Demon Spider that hunted me, I have never actively killed a soul beast!"
"Otherwise, may divine punishment fall and my soul shatter!"
Yes!
Tang Lan had practiced until now, seen many soul beasts die—
But he had only personally killed one Man-Faced Demon Spider.
The rest he only drained and tossed aside.
Bing Di and Xue Di looked shocked.
A god's divine aura cannot deceive beasts.
Though they didn't know this god—
Tang Lan swearing confidently clearly meant truth.
Bing Di leaned behind Tang Lan, sniffing like a puppy.
Her disgust faded, replaced by confusion.
"No same-race resentment?"
"And you don't even have ice attribute, let alone Extreme Ice!"
"Then how did you absorb this external soul bone?"
The Ice Jade Scorpion clan possessed Extreme Ice, absorbing their bone required same attribute.
Yet this human…
Bing Di was confused.
"I don't know." Tang Lan said, "The Ice Jade Scorpion tail was obtained accidentally like the others."
Tang Lan revealed all his soul bones.
Xue Di let out a soft sound.
"Human, how do you have a whole body of external soul bones?"
Bing Di's eyes widened!
Eight soul bones, all external?
The only two regular ones fused into externals?
Something wrong with this human!
Very, very wrong!
"Luck, just luck."
Tang Lan humbly said, then changed tone—
"So now, I release Bing Di, you don't move, and we talk properly?"
"My Sea God Seal contains a wisp of Sea God divine sense."
"And I am only a six-ring Soul Emperor, you saw my potential."
"The Sea God will not allow such a talented successor to die!"
"If you attack, you will suffer!"
The Sea God Seal on his palm flashed.
Then—
The Sea God's divine sense really appeared!
It formed a Sea God phantom, watching Tang Lan.
—This child indeed sensed His presence.
So he locked Him away.
Not angry. After all—
He did not want to watch his successor do live spring-palace broadcasts.
But Tang Lan's performance just now thrilled Him!
Certainly!
This was the successor He had waited millennia for!
He raised a hand.
Next moment.
A golden light flew from the west, enveloping Tang Lan.
Absorbed into his Sea God Seal.
The blue seal turned dazzling gold.
A mighty voice sounded—
"Begin the Sea God Nine Trials!"
"First trial— Within one year, cross twice the Sea God's Light and climb 333 steps!"
Tang Lan blinked.
Huh?
Aren't the Nine Trials triggered only at Sea God Island?
Wait!
The West?
Across the sea from Extreme North was Sea God Island!
Good grief!
The divine sense saw him too excellent, afraid he'd run—
So he force-started the quest early?
"Successor, you are excellent."
The Sea God divine sense admired—
"I roamed the sea of Douluo for over a thousand years, attained Sea God, created Golden Thirteen Halberds, unrivaled across the sea."
"When you finish the first trial, I shall teach you the Golden Thirteen Halberds."
Tang Lan's face twisted oddly.
Why does this feel like being forced into marriage?
The divine sense didn't speak further— gods must maintain dignity.
He glanced at Bing Di and Xue Di.
The two beasts froze like ice, unable to move!
Death!
With a single thought, He could kill them!
"Sea God-senior!" Tang Lan hurried, "Please spare them, they are important to me!"
The divine sense withdrew gaze.
"Go to Sea God Island and obtain My divinity!"
He turned to golden motes and returned to the seal.
Leaving Tang Lan helpless.
The Nine Trials began, first must finish in one year, then one per year.
His plan was disrupted.
'I must adjust later.'
'But now…'
'Take Ice and Snow Emperors first.'
He sealed the Sea God Seal again.
Tang Lan withdrew Eight Spider Spears, releasing Bing Di.
Unexpectedly—
Already weak, then frightened by divine sense—
Her legs softened, falling.
Tang Lan caught her and flew out of the pit.
Xue Di had landed too.
As beings condensed of the world's elemental force, she was trembling faintly.
Clearly, the Sea God's killing intent terrified her too.
Tang Lan was not in a rush.
He put down Bing Di, letting them recover.
He took out a few Recovery Big Sausages and ate, meditating to restore soul power.
Not worried about betrayal.
Ha!
The Sea God stood for him— would they dare attack?
Half an hour later.
Regaining half his internal power, Tang Lan opened his eyes.
Facing the gazes of Xue Di and Bing Di.
Tang Lan grinned.
He raised his hand, sending two spiritual light orbs to the two women.
They did not hesitate and absorbed them directly.
—If not for Tang Lan speaking, they'd be soul rings right now.
Nothing to worry about.
He repeated the usual strategy.
Soul Spirit, ascension to godhood, flying to God Realm, immortality.
To the two emperors facing 700,000-year tribulation and lacking confidence at 400,000-year tribulation, irresistible.
Besides—
"Extreme North Soul Spirit Research Base?" Bing Di narrowed her eyes. "You want the soul beasts of the Extreme North to become soul spirits for humans?"
Though soul beasts never wish to become soul rings.
But soul spirits, for old, injured, peaceful beasts, was indeed better.
"You're giving Extreme North beasts another option."
Tang Lan explained—
"You saw soul spirits earlier."
"My father used Ironback Dragon Soul Spirit and Great Strength Ape Soul Spirit to attack you."
"But we exploded the rings earlier, need three days to recover."
"Then you'll see them."
Bing Di nodded to Xue Di confirming truth.
Xue Di nodded lightly.
"Since it is verifiable, as a god successor, you need not lie."
"In principle, I can agree to this Extreme North Soul Spirit Base."
"But before that, I must go to Star Dou Forest and see the soul spirit base."
"Ask Sky Blue Bull Python and Titan Giant Ape myself."
"If true…"
"I am willing to blood-sacrifice and become your soul spirit."
Saying "you" respectfully.
Bing Di, who secretly admired Xue Di, quickly spoke too.
"Then I will also blood-sacrifice and become your soul spirit together with Xue Di!"
Good!
Buy one get one free.
Because of the Sea God divine sense—
No need for persuasion, plan succeeded.
However—
"You will not be my soul spirits. Another host awaits."
Tang Lan waved.
Shui Bing'er, Oscar, Tang Hao appeared.
He released the Boundless Sea Soul Seal.
Facing Ice & Snow Emperors, Shui Bing'er felt enormous pressure.
Only rank 40—
Even casual aura could kill her.
Tang Lan didn't shield her.
If she couldn't withstand this, how gain their acknowledgement?
"Binger, release martial soul."
Shui Bing'er clenched her teeth and released Ice Phoenix Martial Soul.
Ice & Snow Emperors looked extra at her.
Then shook heads.
Bing Di bluntly, "Though rare divine beast Ice Phoenix, awakened too late, level too low."
"In comparison—"
"You, already recognized by Sea God, are better."
Shui Bing'er dimmed.
Though disappointed, she didn't argue.
Because Bing Di spoke truth—
And because—
If the chosen host was Tang Lan, how could she fight? And win?
Tang Lan frowned.
"I do not have ice attribute."
"My Life Soul Blue Silver Emperor has a life soul ring, can evolve with my rank, at least million-year."
"Using you as soul spirits for it would be wasteful."
"And my Thunder-Flame Haotian Hammer is lightning-fire, incompatible with ice."
"You—"
Bing Di raised her hand interrupting.
"Your Ice Jade Scorpion tail soul bone skill is ice-fire dual attribute, right?"
Tang Lan thought, then nodded.
"That's right." Bing Di said confidently. "Ice and fire can coexist. In special cases, explosive power!"
"With our blood sacrifice, letting you gain Extreme Ice attribute will be easy."
Though said so—
But then—
Xue Di suddenly spoke.
"You want us to become this girl's soul spirits to let her obtain Extreme Ice and fully awaken the divine beast martial soul, right?"
Tang Lan nodded calmly.
"To be honest."
"I cultivated more than one god successor."
"Like Oscar, once becoming Titled Douluo, he will inherit Food God."
"In future we ascend God Realm together, they are my team."
"And the one I value most is Shui Bing'er."
"I prepared First-rank god Ice God position for her."
"With your Ice God bloodline, you are indispensable parts of my god-making plan."
This shocked Ice & Snow Emperors greatly.
Damn— He not only becomes god himself, also cultivates other gods?
Key thing—
Looks like he can really succeed!
