Soul Land 5: The Rebirth of Tang San-Chapter 747: Counteracting the Tribulation

Continuing to withstand the tribulation, though it tempered his body, the destruction was also steadily accumulating, reaching a point where it could explode and take his life at any moment.

It was almost time. He couldn't afford to wait any longer.

Tang San suddenly turned his head, for the first time during the tribulation. His gaze fell on Crystalline.

With a grin, Tang San's lips moved. Though no sound came out, Crystalline could hear his thoughts within her divine consciousness—Next, I'll be relying on you.

"Me?" Crystalline's eyes widened instantly, and she blurted out, "No, Dad, I can't!"

Tang San's lips twitched slightly. —No, you can.

Before Crystalline could say more, golden light erupted from Tang San's eyes. At the same time, Crystalline felt herself transform into a beam of crystalline light, falling into Tang San's hand. Crystalline light covered the surface of Tang San's armor, and the aura that once belonged to the Crystal Demon Emperor burst forth.

Even though she was a separate, living entity, she was technically one of Tang San's nine imprints—of her own will. And as such, Crystalline had naturally accompanied him through the tribulation and transformation, and had returned to godhood herself.

According to the Crystal Demon Emperor's original plan, after completing the tribulation, she would rapidly recover using her profound foundation and attempt to devour Tang San's physique, bloodline power, and spirit, making herself stronger and regaining a long lifespan.

But now she understood that it was simply impossible. If he truly succeeded in the tribulation, then she’d be lucky if he didn’t devour her power instead. With the yin-yang energy enveloping and influencing her, it seemed she could no longer even separate from him unless he allowed it.

Even the Crystal Demon Emperor herself couldn't tell if she had gained nothing from her plan or if she had simply been unlucky.

Now Tang San was asking her to resist the tribulation? How could she not be shocked? But indeed, the other bloodline imprints had almost all been used. It was her turn, but could she do anything? The next lightning strike was bound to be stronger than all previous ones.

Tang San's lips curled upward as the trident in his hand became solid once again, the cracks on it disappearing.

He turned his head and glanced outside the Heavenly Bloom, looking toward the direction of the Celestial Fox Demon Emperor. Mei Gongzi was there, within the divine consciousness defense set up by the Celestial Fox Demon Emperor.

"Hey, Crystalline! Look, the tribulation hasn't come yet. So, how about we go over there? We can't just keep getting struck! Shouldn't we go on the offensive?"

—What?

Before the Crystalline could react, Tang San leaped into the air. A pair of massive golden wings unfolded behind him as he activated the Dragon Roc Transformation. Surrounded by golden light and lingering destructive lightning, he shot straight into the sky like a golden beam, heading toward the heavens.

With the activation of the Peacock Transformation, Tang San shot out of the Hell Garden and the Celestial Fox Sacred Mountain, almost instantly arriving in the outside world.

Everything happened in a blink, and Tang San's speed was simply shocking.

Even the Emperors outside, who were watching the persistent tribulation clouds with grave expressions, didn't know what to do. Who could have expected that at this moment, the hidden instigator from within the Celestial Fox Sacred Mountain would voluntarily emerge?

By the time they realized it, Tang San had already dived straight into the tribulation clouds.

Inside the Hell Garden, Mei Gongzi couldn't help but cry out in shock at the sight. The Celestial Fox Demon Emperor was equally stunned.

He had been on the verge of despair, feeling his heart bleed as each fortune lotus seed was consumed. When all the seeds were gone, the Celestial Fox clan's fortune would plummet to its lowest point, and he might even lose his Demon Emperor cultivation.

But then, the other party had left at this critical moment. Although half of the fortune lotus seeds had been consumed, at least half remained. This fortune would at least ensure the survival of the Celestial Fox clan and the stability of the Ancestral Court's fortune.

Did he just leave? Did he succeed in his tribulation? But the pressure from the tribulation clouds is still increasing!

With a swift movement, Tang San plunged into the tribulation clouds. With the momentum of his breakneck speed and body reinforced by the Golden Armor Transformation, he forcibly broke through the bounds of the clouds.

The plane was not truly intelligent, so it hadn't anticipated such a situation. And even if it had been as intelligent as the Celestial Fox Demon Emperor, it would not have anticipated this.

The moment he burst out of the tribulation clouds, Tang San's body acted like a black hole, frantically absorbing all the elemental energy in the air—elemental energy that was missing below, having been driven away by the tribulation lightning. In an instant, his golden form was surrounded by a myriad of colors.

The tribulation clouds surged quickly, rushing toward his body.

Tang San didn't pause; the wings of the Golden Roc on his back beat with full force as he unleashed the power of the Dragon Roc Transformation to soar to the highest heavens. He streaked upward like a golden stream of light.

The tribulation clouds surged behind him, carrying countless bolts of lightning. But Tang San's speed was beyond incredible. He applied every speed-enhancing ability he possessed, and with the immense physical strength of his Immaculate Golden Body, he paid no heed to the impact of such speed.

In almost an instant, he had soared several kilometers into the sky. The tribulation clouds pursued him relentlessly, but the smile on Tang San's lips only grew wider. He let out a long, exhilarated howl as if he was venting all the frustration he had accumulated since arriving on this plane.

Crystalline was stunned as she sensed the change in Tang San. He actually broke out? What speed!

At this moment, with the support of his nine bloodline imprints, his speed practically rivaled that of an Emperor.

It was only now that Crystalline suddenly realized a crucial difference between Tang San and the Emperors.

The Emperors, bound by their duty to protect the Ancestral Court, couldn't leave easily and had to find ways to resolve the tribulation. But Tang San was different. Though he was undergoing the tribulation, the fate of the Ancestral Court wasn't his concern. He could just run!

Of course, it wasn’t like people could just break out of the tribulation clouds and run away. Yet after enduring seventeen strikes of tribulation lightning, Tang San had long since crossed the tribulation ten times over, so there was no need for him to endure more of it. And now he was simply running, with the tribulation chasing after him. This bizarre scene was beyond imagination, yet it somehow made perfect sense.

Tang San had never thought he could survive the Nine Heavens Ten Earths Divine Extinguishing Tribulation. It was not something anyone could survive, simple as that.

But if he couldn't win, why couldn't he run? He had already achieved his goal. Yes, the Nine Heavens Ten Earths Divine Extinguishing Tribulation was endless, but only within the plane. In other words, on Falan Planet. But what if he just left the planet?

Where did the tribulation's power come from? Certainly, its foundation came from the laws of the universe, but its power originated from the plane. Once the tribulation left the plane and lost the plane's energy support, could it still exist?

So, from the beginning, Tang San had a plan: Once he’d run out of options to fight, it was time to take flight!

When his flight altitude exceeded five thousand meters, the temperature in the air began to drop rapidly, and the air grew thin. But none of this could affect Tang San. His divine consciousness controlled his nine imprints, continuously absorbing the sparse elemental energy from the air to replenish him. He was in excellent condition.

As the saying goes, the sea is vast for the fish to leap in, and the sky is high for the birds to fly in.[1] The moment he broke out of the clouds, Tang San knew that he had succeeded.
