Soul Land 5: The Rebirth of Tang San

Chapter 692: Tang San\'s Lightning Tribulation

"I\'ve always had good intentions," he said calmly. "Admit it: you just want to capture me and study my abilities, don\'t you? This was your plan all along."

The Sea Dragon King responded in a serious tone, "We have to be cautious. We can\'t be certain whether you are the harbinger of an invasion from the Daemon Continent. But don\'t worry, we won\'t harm humans, especially since the array discs you provided can indeed clear the Sea Plague. We will always treat you as an honored guest and won\'t harm you in any way. We just hope to learn more about you."

Tang San smiled. "Oh, please. Learn more about me? That’s nothing more than an excuse, and let me tell you, it\'s not going to happen. I suspected before you even got here that you might act against me out of suspicion, yet here I am, all alone in front of you. Do you think I am that stupid?"

"Are you all crazy?" The Sea Shark King finally reacted, exclaiming in shock, "He\'s the Sea God!"

"Silence!" snapped the Middle Pillar King. "How can the fate of the sea clans be influenced by an outsider? If he harbors ill intentions, wouldn\'t that bring disaster to the entire Endless Blue Sea?"

Tang San\'s gaze remained calm. He gently shook his head and said, "You don\'t believe me because you don’t understand what a true god is. Even on the Daemon Continent, no true god will be born because this world, this plane, isn\'t a divine realm, nor is it connected to one. Without a divine realm, there\'s no path to ascension."

The Sea Dragon King frowned and said, "There\'s no rush. Please, Divine Envoy, come with us to my Sea Dragon Palace, and we can talk slowly. Rest assured, we won\'t harm you. We will also fulfill our promise to help your human migration."

Tang San replied indifferently, "I have many things to do and no time to go to any Sea Dragon Palace with you. But that’s alright. If you wish to die, if you want to see the entire elite of the sea clans die here, then go ahead. By all means, try to stop me." @@novelbin@@

As he spoke, the golden trident pattern suddenly lit up on his forehead.

The Middle Pillar King reacted instantly and shouted in a low voice, "Seal him!"

A beam of light shot out from the trident in his hand and enveloped Tang San.

Tang San neither dodged nor blocked it, simply allowing the light to trap him within. Yet, the golden pattern of the Sea God’s Trident on his forehead grew even brighter.

His body had been sealed by the Sea Giant King and could not move, but at that moment, vast swathes of the Endless Blue Sea instantly turned golden. Thousands of streams of faith power surged toward Tang San, unaffected by the sealing barrier, continuing to pour into his body.

An unparalleled majesty suddenly erupted from his entire being. And in that instant, the sky above this entire sea region suddenly turned pitch black. A terrifying, world-ending pressure almost instantly pressed the sea\'s surface down by ten meters, revealing the forms of the Sea Kings that had been waiting in the distance for the conversation to conclude.

For a moment, even these powerful Sea Kings present felt as if they couldn\'t breathe, while the brilliant golden light surrounding Tang San only grew brighter.

"This is... a lightning tribulation?"

In the ink-black sky, streaks of golden lightning crisscrossed, each terrifying bolt seeming as if it could obliterate the entire world.

The sea wasn’t even stirring—it was trembling in fear. The Sea Kings could barely move, while those below the ninth order were completely suppressed beneath the surface, unable to even run.

Tang San slowly turned around and looked at the Mermaid Queen behind him. "You sensed correctly; I am indeed rejected by this plane because I come from another world. The reason I came here was to find my reincarnated wife. But I am a human and I cannot stand by and watch humans being treated as slaves by the demon and nymph clans. So, while searching for my wife, I also want to help humanity find a path to rise. Moreover, I was once the Sea God, and my love for the sea brought me here to help you. But you refuse to acknowledge me and you treat me as nothing more than a tool. Fine then, let me show you the wrath of the heaven that belongs to this world."

"Boom!" A sky-shattering golden thunderbolt exploded in the sky.

"Kill him, and maybe we can still..." The Middle Pillar King shouted, raising his trident to strike at Tang San. But he hadn’t even moved halfway when his arm was locked in place.

What stopped him was neither Tang San, nor the terrifying lightning tribulation in the sky, but the countless streams of faith power rushing toward Tang San.

At that moment, Tang San\'s figure began to swell with the wind, and a massive golden silhouette appeared behind him, slowly expanding. The aura of the Sea God was released without reservation.

"Lord Sea God, don\'t!" The first to react was the Sea Walrus King. It suddenly prostrated itself, bowing to Tang San. Following closely, the Sea Shark King also transformed into human form and immediately knelt before Tang San.

But at that very moment, a sky-shattering thunderbolt roared down from the sky, and in an instant, the entire world seemed to turn golden. As that golden thunderbolt descended with overwhelming force, every Sea King present felt as though the entire world was about to be destroyed.

Just then, the golden trident on Tang San\'s forehead suddenly became incredibly dazzling, and the Sea God Array discs that each Sea King had received earlier lit up simultaneously.

The previously suppressed, waveless sea suddenly surged with a layer of bluish glow. That glow rose upward, enveloping all the sea beasts present, as well as Tang San. The massive Sea God silhouette behind Tang San seemed to lift that glow as if it was a shield, merging seamlessly with the blue radiance.

At that moment, each sea beast had the strange sensation that it was connected to every other sea beast. They felt like a unified whole, seamlessly merged with the Endless Blue Sea itself.

When the terrifying golden thunderbolt struck the bluish glow, a strange scene unfolded. The fearsome golden lightning hesitated, wavering slightly, and in the next moment, it shattered into countless tiny golden sparks that scattered and flickered across the blue radiance.

The Sea Dragon King and the Middle Pillar King both saw the golden trident symbol on Tang San\'s forehead undergo some strange changes. The most significant change was that a small blue light appeared at the center of the trident\'s middle prong. It looked like a tiny blue gemstone, but from this single point of blue, the vast blue radiance enveloping the entire Endless Blue Sea expanded outward.

At this moment, they all felt as if they had become connected to Tang San. Without a doubt, compared to them, Tang San\'s aura was weak, yet it was this weak aura that formed a bond, a link that connected all the sea beasts present and the Endless Blue Sea itself.

All the power, at this moment, was united under his guidance, making the entire Endless Blue Sea feel like a single entity—a true whole. Even the terrifying thunder in the sky found no gap to penetrate.

Tang San\'s calm voice reached the ears of every sea beast below.

"As the Sea God, I bring peace and development. What lies above me is the tribulation I must face during my ascension. If I were to undergo this tribulation over the Endless Blue Sea, my chances of success would increase significantly because I could amplify my power with the faith of countless beings in the Endless Blue Sea. However, I am unwilling to do so, as it would inevitably result in more deaths than you can count. As the Sea God, it is my duty to protect my people. Therefore, I was unwilling to undergo my tribulation over the Endless Blue Sea. Do you understand?"
