Soul Land V: Rebirth of Tang San-Chapter 1054 - 1052: Murder to Punish the Heart

The colossal Nine-Tailed Heavenly Fox emerged out of nowhere, levitating in mid-air. Every single one of its massive tails was a kilometer long. At this moment, a tremendously intense wave of Luck erupted instantaneously.

The sacred breath below was instantly drawn upwards, merging with the vast Power of Luck. The two complemented and enhanced each other harmoniously.

The figure of the Nine-Tailed Heavenly Fox also began to exude layers of golden halos, adding a few more touches of sacredness to its presence.

As the saint power was drawn away, a dark figure descended from the sky, landing beside the Dark Dragon King, Li Zhaopeng. The intense black aura instantly enveloped them, also shrouding the Bead of Misfortune.

"You shouldn’t be doing this. After all, we are still in the midst of a match, and I am the referee," a calm voice said. The next moment, the entire sky brightened up. A large sun seemed to have suddenly appeared over the Ancestral Court, sending the surrounding temperature soaring. The protection cover around the competition stage shattered almost in an instant.

"Brother Tianyang, please calm your anger." The nine immense tails of the Nine-Tailed Heavenly Fox in the air swayed, and a soothing white halo mixed with golden light descended from the sky, landing directly on Tang San. Suddenly, Tang San was surrounded by golden light, his Luck surging. The sacred breath became more solid than ever, coating his body with a golden layer.

The radiance of the great sun receded. The Tianyang Spirit King had unexpectedly appeared above Tang San. The Nine-Tailed Heavenly Fox in the air also shrank in size, moving to the other side enveloped by darkness.

The nine tails swayed, and the main body drew in a breath. Suddenly, the flickering Bead of Misfortune shot out, and together with the Power of Misfortune that had been pouring into the Dark Dragon King, Li Zhaopeng, it was all absorbed by the fox.

Tang San stood still, closing his eyes. He nearly burst into laughter, feeling the sacred breath that enveloped his body.

Is there such a stroke of luck?

He had drawn a massive life force through the Tree Ancestor Brand into the Light Dragon Spear, causing the spear to erupt in full force, transforming into the Sacred Dragon. In reality, however, the divine tool could not bear such attributes; although the Sacred Dragon appeared powerful, once it was deployed, the Light Dragon Spear would also break, and the dragon soul of the Sacred Dragon would dissipate between heaven and earth.

But the Great Demon Emperor Heavenly Fox, in an effort to appease the wrath of the Tianyang Spirit King, had used its mighty Power of Luck to solidify the sacred energy released by Tang San, causing it to curl back and condense. It forcibly stabilized the Light Dragon Spear in a sacred stance. This surely consumed a tremendous amount of energy on its part. For Tang San, it meant being baptised by the sacred breath throughout his body, gaining this sacred energy, while his Cultivation base increased. Not only was the Light Dragon Spear undamaged, but it had also transformed into the Holy Dragon Spear.

The greatest benefit of this was that the Light Dragon Spear could not bear the projection of his Sea God’s Trident, but the Holy Dragon Spear should just barely be able to. This means that his Sea God’s Trident could now appear in a physical form, just like Pretty Girl’s Asura God’s Sword. This was definitely something the Great Demon Emperor Heavenly Fox could never have anticipated.

The Tianyang Spirit King’s face remained cold, and he said nothing more, only watching the opposition with piercing eyes.

The Dark Dragon King Li Zhaopeng’s face was distorted with pain. At this moment, he could no longer concern himself with the battle for the throne. Under the contamination of misfortune, even the Demon Weapon in his hand was violently backlashing against him. Despite his extremely resolute will, he was now enduring immense agony and was helpless to resist.

However, as the controller of the Power of Luck in Demon Monster Land, the Great Demon Emperor Heavenly Fox had already forcibly taken control of the Bead of Misfortune, using it to devour the misfortune anew; otherwise, at this point, there would have been serious trouble in Li Zhaopeng’s sea of divine consciousness. It was precisely because the Dark Demon Great Demon Emperor sensed something amiss that he sought help from the Great Demon Emperor Heavenly Fox at the first opportunity. Apart from the Great Demon Emperor Heavenly Fox, no one could handle the situation at this moment. This incident could have cost Li Zhaopeng his life, and even cause the Bead of Misfortune to erupt, allowing misfortune to disperse throughout the Ancestral Court.

Therefore, knowing full well that this would inevitably upset the Tianyang Spirit King, the Great Demon Emperor Heavenly Fox still chose to intervene immediately. Li Zhaopeng’s life was not of great importance, but if the Bead of Misfortune were to erupt at such a time, the consequences would be disastrous.

At this moment, Tang San’s attention was no longer on Li Zhaopeng. The moment the Great Demon Emperor Heavenly Fox made her move, the contest, as far as he was concerned, had already come to an end. He observed the Holy Dragon Spear in his hand, which had now completely turned golden from white, surrounded by an orange glow constantly nurturing the spear. Under the control of the Great Demon Emperor Heavenly Fox, the sacred energies that were previously released were compressed back, enveloping him and the Holy Dragon Spear.

This sacred energy was also greatly beneficial for Tang San himself, washing and nurturing his bloodline power. But Tang San guided it, allowing more sacred energy to pour into the Holy Dragon Spear in his hands, nurturing the quality of the spear under these special circumstances, completing its thorough transformation.

The Power of Misfortune from the Bead of Misfortune was gradually receding, and Li Zhaopeng’s condition was also stabilizing.

The Dark Demon Great Demon Emperor had now come to Li Zhaopeng’s side. He gave a deep bow to the Tianyang Spirit King, his face filled with regret as he said, "Your Majesty Tianyang, the incident occurred suddenly, and it was I who requested the assistance of Her Majesty the Great Demon Emperor Heavenly Fox. This Misfortune Backlash could have completely destroyed Zhaopeng. He is the heir I have chosen for the future, and I simply couldn’t stand idly by. However, it’s true that we have broken the rules. After this event, he will withdraw from the battle for the throne."

The Tianyang Spirit King remained silent, just watching the Dark Demon Great Demon Emperor coldly. At such a time, his silence exerted even greater pressure on all the emperors present, especially those from the Tianyu Empire.

Some things are better left unsaid. Li Zhaopeng fears the backlash of the Bead of Misfortune, but isn’t Jin Miaolin afraid when the Bead of Misfortune befalls him? This divine tool of the Bead of Misfortune is so domineering; if you can use it, can you not bear the backlash? How does that make sense?

The light flashed, and the Great Demon Emperor Heavenly Fox descended from the sky. Landing in front of the Tianyang Spirit King, she looked at Tang San, who was controlling and nurturing the Holy Dragon Spear, and said in a deep voice, "The incident was indeed unexpected. My reason for intervening was mainly because if the Bead of Misfortune were to erupt, it could potentially cause a significant impact on the Ancestral Court. I ask for Chief Jin’s understanding. The matter will definitely be addressed by the Ancestral Court."

While Tang San was controlling the Holy Dragon Spear in his hand, he smiled respectfully at the Great Demon Emperor Heavenly Fox and said, "Your Majesty is too kind. I believe your decisions are all correct. In the future, I will also pay attention and no longer use this sacred power again."

Hearing Tang San’s words, the Tianyang Spirit King’s mouth twitched slightly, even somewhat breaking his cold demeanor at the moment.

What is the meaning of a cunning strike to the heart? That’s exactly what Tang San is doing now. No one had said he couldn’t use sacred power, and using sacred power did not impact the fairness of the competition. But he brought it up himself. Anyone with a bit of sense could link this to his previous "initiative" not to use the Ferocious Dragon’s power. How could it not provoke speculation?

Although from the previous battles, every victory seemed to have an element of opportunism, the repeated unfair interferences from the Ancestral Court on him were because of the Great Demon Emperor Heavenly Fox? This was clearly putting the Great Demon Emperor Heavenly Fox on the spot. At the same time, it subtly expressed his dissatisfaction.
