Chapter 340: The Crisis of the Demon Soul Great White Shark

Chapter 340: The Crisis of the Demon Soul Great White Shark

Tang San smiled slightly and said, "Your Majesty, I only have two trials left before inheriting my godhood. Within a year, I will definitely complete the divine trials and return as a god. By then, no matter how many Title Douluo the Nine Star Hall possesses, in front of a god, they are nothing but ants!"

Hearing Tang San's bold declaration, the Star Luo Emperor's ambition was completely ignited. A god originating from the Star Luo Empire, and with such a close relationship to his son—once Tang San returned as a god, unifying the continent would be as easy as lifting a hand.

"Very well, Sect Master Tang. In that case, the future of the Star Luo Empire is in your hands. Whatever you need, just say the word, and I will grant it."

A trace of pride flashed through Tang San's eyes. In reality, he himself didn't know how powerful a god truly was, but to make sure the Star Luo Emperor didn't get any funny ideas about gods, he naturally exaggerated their strength as unmatched and unrivaled.

"Your Majesty, I don't need anything else. For this journey, I hope the Third Prince can accompany me. I may need his help for my divine trials."

"That's no problem. Mubai, go with Sect Master Tang when he departs."

The Star Luo Emperor agreed immediately. Although he didn't know why Tang San needed Dai Mubai, he believed opportunity always came with challenge. Maybe, after this trip, Dai Mubai would become a Title Douluo himself.

Tang Yuehua spoke up, "Xiao San, do we need to inform Bo Saixi? She's the High Priestess of Sea God Island and a level ninety-nine Limit Douluo. With her there, you'd be more likely to succeed in your trials."

Bo Saixi had only joined the Star Luo–Clear Sky–Sea God Island alliance because of the Sea God's oracle. Later, she learned Tang San was increasing his strength by devouring life force, which made her even more dissatisfied. That's why she avoided most high-level meetings.

Tang San shook his head. "No need, Aunt. Right now, with the Heaven Dou Empire and Nine Star Hall on the rise, it's better for Bo Saixi to remain at the front line as a deterrent."

Tang Yuehua nodded, thinking her good nephew was just concerned for everyone's safety.

Little did she know, the real reason Tang San didn't want Bo Saixi along was because he'd set his sights on Sea God Island's guardian beast—the hundred-thousand-year-old Demon Soul Great White Shark King, Xiao Bai.

Xiao Bai was the Sea God's mount and had guarded Sea God Island for nearly ten thousand years. Bo Saixi would never allow Tang San to absorb her, turning her into a spirit ring and soul bone. She might even attack him herself.

So the best plan was to keep Bo Saixi at the Star Luo front line. Once Tang San completed his Sea God trials and reached level one hundred to attain godhood, even if Bo Saixi discovered what happened to Xiao Bai, he wouldn't need to care.

The next morning, Tang God-King set out from the Star Luo camp with his last good brother, Dai Mubai, heading straight for the Star Dou Great Forest.

Because of Xiao Yu's overwhelming power, the Sea God once again went easy on Tang San. For his Eighth Sea God Trial, the task to retrieve the Sea God's Heart was removed. He only needed to break through to Title Douluo and fully equip himself with spirit rings and soul bones.

A few days after Tang San and Dai Mubai left, Bo Saixi hurried to the camp to ask Tang Yuehua about Tang San's whereabouts.

After learning Tang San had already departed for Sea God Island, Bo Saixi couldn't help but blame Tang Yuehua for not telling her.

Tang Yuehua relayed Tang San's original words.

Bo Saixi had no choice but to set out for Sea God Island immediately.

Tang Yuehua wanted to dissuade her. After all, without Bo Saixi at the front lines, their side's combat power would drop by several levels.

But when Bo Saixi explained that only the High Priestess of Sea God Island could activate the final ninth trial of the Sea God assessment, Tang Yuehua fell silent and simply watched Bo Saixi leave.

Tang God-King never imagined that the very person he tried so hard to avoid—Bo Saixi—would actually be the key to unlocking the Ninth Sea God Trial. For this journey to Sea God Island, Bo Saixi was destined to be present.

In the Star Dou Great Forest, since Di Tian and the other fierce beasts were still dormant, Tang God-King obtained his spirit rings without any trouble.

With the help of the Blue Silver Domain, he easily found nine ten-thousand-year soul beasts whose ages and attributes were a perfect match, leaving only the ninth ring for the Clear Sky Hammer vacant—that spot reserved for the Demon Soul Great White Shark King, Xiao Bai.

During the soul beast hunts, two soul bones dropped. Since Tang God-King had already reserved the final soul bone slot for himself, he generously gifted both soul bones to Dai Mubai.

Naturally, Dai Mubai was extremely grateful, completely unaware that these were just some leftovers Tang God-King had casually thrown his way.

After absorbing the two ten-thousand-year soul bones, Dai Mubai's strength increased as well. His soul power reached the peak of level seventy-eight, with one foot already stepping into level seventy-nine—just a few steps away from becoming a Soul Douluo.

Once their hunting was done, the two left the Star Dou Great Forest immediately and headed straight for the sea.

Releasing the Sea God Trident's radiance, the Demon Soul Great White Shark King, already chosen by Tang God-King, eagerly swam over, carrying Tang San and Dai Mubai toward Sea God Island.

The Demon Soul Great White Shark, along with the Evil Demon Orca King and the Deep Sea Demon Whale King, was considered one of the three overlords of the ocean. Of course, that was only a title given by humans who didn't really understand the sea.

In reality, if the Deep Sea Demon Whale King took it seriously, it could slap the Demon Soul Great White Shark to death with a single blow. After all, the Demon Soul Great White Shark clan was eventually wiped out by a Deep Sea Demon Whale King.

Still, this also showed that the Demon Soul Great White Shark held a significant position in the ocean. With Xiao Bai's personal escort, Tang San and Dai Mubai took only three days to reach Sea God Island.

"Lord Tang San, I'll take my leave now. If you need me again, just shine the Sea God Trident's light at the shore like before!"

The Demon Soul Great White Shark King turned to leave.

"Wait, Xiao Bai—you can't leave yet!"

Tang San's lips curled slightly as he suddenly called out to the Demon Soul Great White Shark King.

Xiao Bai was startled. In that instant, Tang San suddenly struck. Eight sharp spider legs burst from his back and, to Dai Mubai's shock, viciously pierced into Xiao Bai's enormous body.

The devouring power instantly activated, and the vast vitality contained in Xiao Bai's hundred-thousand-year cultivation poured endlessly into Tang San.

"Ah!"

Xiao Bai let out a piercing, miserable scream. Her massive body trembled violently, dazzling gray-blue light bursting forth. In this glow, her huge form rapidly shrank, finally escaping from the devouring grasp of Tang San's Eight Spider Soul Bone.

Transforming into human form, Xiao Bai leapt away from Tang San, putting distance between them. Her blue eyes erupted with killing intent, her cold gaze like sharp blades stabbing straight into Tang San's own.

"So it was you! The villain who secretly devoured my clan members before—turns out it was you!"
