Soul Land V: Rebirth of Tang San-Chapter 887 - 885: Aerial Battle

Chapter 887: Chapter 885: Aerial Battle

“Um,” nodded the Diamond Elf King. Among the Seven Tianjing Emperors, the strongest Tianyang Spirit King and Earth Yin Spirit King, along with the third-ranked Phoenix Tree Spirit King and the present Soul-Stealing Spirit King, were all of the Plant-class. Among them, the Phoenix Tree Spirit King and Soul-Stealing Spirit King were purely of the wood element, and they had intricately intertwined connections with the Tree Ancestor. Although it cannot be said that these mighty Emperors had never acted against the Blue Gold Tree Clan, at least on the surface, they must support the Tree Ancestor, a lineage race. Otherwise, the Blue Gold Tree Clan would not have been able to maintain its position as the Main City Master up to this day without an Emperor.

If he decided to kill Tang San today, the Soul-Stealing Spirit King was very likely to intervene. However, as an Emperor, the Diamond Elf King was absolutely confident that if it came to that, killing a Great Spirit King or severely injuring his origin wouldn’t be a difficult task.

In the eyes of the Diamond Elf King, the challenge Tang San had chosen was utterly foolish. If he had chosen to leave today and accept compensation, the loss would have been decided, but now that he has chosen to challenge him, it was like a lamb walking into a tiger’s den, an act of seeking one’s own death.

The Diamond Elf King’s gaze turned cold as he looked at Tang San, “We shall fight in the skies.” As he said this, he tapped the ground with the tip of his foot and took to the air, transforming into a beam of golden light rushing into the sky.

Choosing to battle in the air was naturally to avoid affecting the city with the aftermath. In fact, the Diamond Elf King’s native element was earth, and he could exert his strongest power on land. But confronting Tang San, merely a Great Spirit King, he truly did not hold Tang San in his regard, let alone that the Blue Gold Tree Clan itself was not proficient in combat!

Tang San bowed slightly again towards the Soul-Stealing Spirit King, “Thank you for your assistance, Your Eminence.”

Then he turned towards the Blue Gold Tree Clan’s Elders present. At this moment, their faces bore traces of solemnity, and for a moment, they were somewhat at a loss for words. Jin Miaosen was even tearfully looking at Tang San, unable to hold back her tears, “Brother, you must return safely, do not force yourself. Your survival is the most important thing for our Blue Gold Tree Clan.”

“Don’t worry. I will be fine. Elders, please take your seats. Pray for me in the traditional way of our Blue Gold Tree Clan. This battle is the righteous battle of our clan.”

As he spoke, his eyes glanced towards the Second Elder and the Third Elder, his gaze flickering momentarily.

The two elders, initially overwhelmed with sorrow, felt a stir in their hearts upon catching the change in Tang San’s eyes, and suddenly recalled the guidance Tang San had given them in front of the Tree Ancestor during their secluded meditation in Jianmu City. They quickly nodded their heads and respectfully saluted Tang San.

Only then did Tang San rise into the air, with eight blue spikes spreading out behind him, his body slowly floating upwards.

Jin Miaosen, overwhelmed with emotion, almost followed him into the skies but was held back by the Second Elder, who whispered a few words to her. Jin Miaosen was momentarily stunned, but soon calmed down. The twelve Blue Gold Tree Clan Elders then sat down cross-legged on the spot, each closing their eyes.

The Second Elder said solemnly, “Let us pray for our clan leader. Justice will prevail.”

The twelve elders chanted in unison, “Justice will prevail.” As they spoke, a blue halo of light shone from each of them, with their life aura expanding outward.

These were twelve king-class members of the Blue Gold Tree Clan! The strength of their life force was so potent that even the Soul-Stealing Spirit King, upon feeling the life aura released from them, found his entire body feeling refreshed, invigorated with a surge of vitality. The sensation was even more pronounced for the other powerful members of the Diamond Elf Clan present.

The Soul-Stealing Spirit King sighed internally, no wonder other races coveted the Blue Gold Tree Clan—such life force was indeed precious, a crime born from possession! Even he himself had felt a moment of greed just now. If it weren’t for the revival of the Tree Ancestor, he might have even considered making a move. This king-level Blue Gold Tree Clan could greatly benefit even someone like him. When the opportunity arises, he should visit Jianmu City to observe the revival of the Tree Ancestor.

His gaze flickered, while Tang San and the Diamond Elf King had already ascended to a kilometer above. The two sides confronted each other across the void.

The Diamond Elf King looked at Tang San with icy eyes and said, “I give you one last chance, give up now, take your people and roll back to Jianmu City, and I can pretend nothing has happened. We have indeed kidnapped your clansmen, but this time you also stormed into Diamond City and killed my clansmen. It’s fair to call it even. Otherwise, I must kill you today. Even if other Emperors blame me, I will not show mercy.”

Yet Tang San smiled, “Are you saying this because you’re worried that the top-ranked Emperors will be dissatisfied with you, or because you’re afraid you can’t defeat me?”

“Young one, it seems you truly wish to die.” The Diamond Elf King was furious. He had indeed spoken those words because he did not wish to strain relations with other Emperors, and also because he was worried about the Tree Ancestor. The memory of the Tree Ancestor’s revival still haunted him, the impact it had on him was significant, even though more than a month had passed and he had asked for other Emperors’ help, he still had not fully recovered.

If the Tree Ancestor truly awakened, it would undoubtedly be the strongest Emperor of the current era, although the probability was very small, small does not mean nonexistent. If the situation could be kept from worsening, the current losses were still acceptable.

Blue and gold halos shone on Tang San’s body, “Enough talk, I’ve already said, such hatred can only be resolved by either your death or mine. If you have the ability, kill me, otherwise, it will be I who kills you.”

“With just you? Since you wish to die, come on then. You are younger, you strike first.” The last bit of hesitation in the Diamond Elf King’s heart disappeared at that moment. Only by killing this young man in front of him could he resolve the hatred in his heart.

Tang San did not show any modesty, after all, he was facing an Emperor! The blue and gold light on his body suddenly burst forth; massive life force gushed forth from him like an eruption. The enormous purity of life aura, and the eight spikes on his back, in that instant, all turned from blue to brilliant gold. A huge luminescent figure also appeared, and wasn’t it the Tree Ancestor?

Seeing the projection of the Tree Ancestor, the Diamond Elf King’s eyes momentarily stiffened, but quickly returned to normal. Although the energy aura emitted by Tang San was fierce, it was still at the level of the Great Spirit Kings. Such a state, to him, was vastly inferior. Emperors were rank 12, Great Spirit Kings were rank 11, it might look like a difference of only one rank, but it was a difference as vast as that between heaven and earth.

The next instant, Tang San moved, massive life energy along with the suddenly surged spikes on his back, charged straight at the Diamond Elf King, turning the entire sky into a blue and gold color.

Perhaps affected by the life aura emitted by Tang San, the life auras emitted by the twelve Blue Gold Tree Clan Elders on the ground also became increasingly intense.

The Soul-Stealing Spirit King glanced at the Elders on the ground, then back at Tang San in the air launching his attack, a trace of doubt flashed through his mind. Was this a coincidence?

At this moment, the confrontation in the sky had already begun.

Facing Tang San’s attack, the Diamond Elf King hung suspended in the original spot, unmoving, his face even showing a trace of disdain.

Among the Seven Tianjing Emperors, he was known for his defense, and in terms of bodily defensive levels, he was even above the Mammoth Great Demon Emperor of the Monster Race. After all, his body wasn’t as large, making his defensive power more concentrated. This suit of golden crystal armor was his true Lifebound Divine Artifact, continuously refined since the day it became sentient. Not to mention a Great Spirit King, even an Emperor would find it tough to breach his defenses.
