Chapter 355: When Enemies Meet
"Since that's the case, it's time to end this battle!"
As Tang San spoke, golden light erupted from his entire body. The Golden Trident soared up from the ground and returned to his grasp.
"Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!"
At the same time, his vast divine king-level power surged madly into the Golden Trident.
The layer of blood-red energy that had covered and cut off his connection to the artifact instantly dissolved under the mighty Sea God power.
The trident once again gleamed with brilliant golden light.
Then, it released the full majesty of a true divine weapon.
But just as the artifact was restored, Tang San's expression shifted slightly.
His face paled, and he immediately suppressed the injuries within his body.
His divine origin had already been damaged; when his artifact was previously corrupted, his divine soul had also suffered serious trauma.
During this time, he had been unable to recover.
Before descending, he had asked the God King of Life to use her power to forcibly restore his origin energy—
but that temporary recovery would only last for a few hours.
He had to resolve the problem concerning Douluo Continent's plane origin power before that time expired.
Otherwise, once the healing effect faded, his own power might collapse under the backlash of his origin injuries.
That would bring disastrous consequences.
"Boom!"
Seeing the Golden Trident fully restored, Tang San gripped it in both hands and swung it toward the Blood Demon and Demon Empress.
A massive golden slash cut through the air, surging toward them.
That slash carried the boundless might of the Sea God.
Wherever it passed, space itself was torn apart.
The Blood Demon and Demon Empress turned pale, hastily channeling their divine power to form a barrier.
"Boom!"
The golden slash collided with the barrier, unleashing a world-shaking explosion.
The barrier shattered instantly. Both of them were blasted backward, crashing to the ground and spitting blood.
"Now," Tang San said as he advanced step by step, divine weapon in hand, eyes filled with authority, "you will tell me your true purpose."
The Blood Demon and Demon Empress exchanged grim looks, each seeing caution in the other's eyes.
Neither had expected Tang San's power to be this formidable.
"Boom!"
Just as the Blood Demon opened his mouth to speak, the sealed space suddenly trembled violently.
A vast surge of black divine power erupted skyward, and the figure of the Deep Sea Demon Whale King emerged from within.
Though his body still bore traces of unhealed wounds, his gaze remained savage.
"Tang San, long time no see!"
Tang San paused, his eyes narrowing slightly in intensity. "Deep Sea Demon Whale King. So, you really have been resurrected."
"To think you're involved as well… it seems this plan of yours is far greater than I imagined."
He wasn't entirely surprised, though.
Ever since the disappearance of the million-year spirit ring of the Deep Sea Demon Whale King from his Clear Sky Hammer, he had suspected that the creature had somehow been revived.
Even so, seeing him now still stirred the depths of Tang San's heart.
He would never have believed the Star Auction Pavilion capable of such a feat.
After all, not even he could resurrect a soul beast that had been dead for ten thousand years from mere remnants.
What unsettled him more was that the Deep Sea Demon Whale King's power had fully recovered to that of a million-year soul beast.
Could it be that the Star Auction Pavilion not only revived him but also restored his full spirit power?
Seeing this, Tang San's killing intent grew even stronger.
Since the Deep Sea Demon Whale King had appeared, he would eradicate all three of them today.
After that, all that would remain was the Star Auction Pavilion.
"Since you've come seeking death, I won't have to waste time hunting you down."
Tang San's voice overflowed with killing intent.
A majestic power surged out from his body, spreading outward like a rising ocean tide.
The moisture in the air condensed into countless droplets, each carrying immense pressure.
The Deep Sea Demon Whale King sneered. "Hmph. You lost my spirit ring—no doubt you suffered severe backlash."
He wasn't certain his words were true but said them nonetheless.
He knew the Star Auction Pavilion had forcibly stripped Tang San's spirit ring—and not just any ring, but a million-year divine-level one.
Even as a God King, such a loss must have caused serious internal harm.
"Hm?"
At the side, both the Demon Empress and Blood Demon's eyes lit up at those words.
A glimmer of hope surfaced in the Blood Demon's gaze.
It seemed there was still a chance.
This confirmed what he had noticed earlier—Tang San's momentum fluctuated unpredictably during their fight.
He had dismissed it as his imagination, but now, it made perfect sense.
"So what!"
Tang San sneered coldly.
"Whatever your purpose, no one may desecrate Douluo Continent's plane origin. Today, I will suppress you all completely—to serve as a warning!"
With that, Tang San charged forward, Golden Trident in hand, toward the Deep Sea Demon Whale King.
The Deep Sea Demon Whale King roared defiantly, his body surging with black divine power as he met Tang San head-on.
The Blood Demon and Demon Empress quickly recovered and joined the assault, launching their attacks together.
In an instant, three distinct divine powers clashed violently in midair.
The heavens and earth of Douluo Continent trembled chaotically.
...
Watching the chaotic battle unfold, Jiang Li's eyes gleamed with satisfaction. "It looks like this show is only just beginning."
"Tang San is holding the upper hand, but to fully subdue them will still take time."
"And it seems even with the Life God King's temporary aid, Tang San's strength is nearly spent. He won't last much longer."
The Soul Heaven Emperor nodded, his eyes alight with anticipation. "Pavilion Master, should we intervene? It'd be fun to make things harder for him."
Jiang Li smiled faintly. "No rush. It isn't our turn yet. Let's see how things develop first."
"Besides, those opponents are from another plane. They intend to absorb Douluo Continent's origin power. If they destroy this world, that benefits no one. Let them suffer Tang San's wrath first."
After speaking, Jiang Li turned his gaze back to the battlefield.
By now, the clash between Tang San, the Deep Sea Demon Whale King, and the others had reached a fever pitch.
Golden Sea God energy collided continuously with black and crimson divine power,
each impact creating yet another explosion across the sky.
