Soul Land V: Rebirth of Tang San

After enduring three lightning tribulations, his entire demeanor began to change. Particularly, the golden trident rune on his forehead started to shine even more brightly.

"Boom!"

The fourth thunderstrike was upon him without giving any respite to catch his breath. Furthermore, the tribulation clouds above the Ancestral Court did not weaken after Tang San withstood several thunder tribulations; on the contrary, they grew stronger.

The most terrifying aspect of the Destruction and Oblivion Heavenly Lightning of the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths was its relentless nature, vowing not to cease until its goal was achieved. It would not stop until Tang San was annihilated.

This was an oppression of the entire plane!

The golden thunderstrike descended once again, with its enmity toward Tang San intensifying after sensing the aura of chaos. It would only cease its assault once Tang San was destroyed and the chaos aura returned to the plane's origin.

This time, the thunderstrike's aura of destruction was even more terrifying. Electrified serpents ran amok, and even the Time-Space Tower's control over time seemed to be faltering. The thunderstrike rushed toward Tang San even faster, the spatial barrier's effectiveness diminished, and the destruction of space took precedence, significantly weakening its dividing effect.

Tang San's body continued to change through cycles of fragmentation and reconstitution, more gruesomely than before. Yet inside him, the Two Qi of Yin and Yang began to revolve, relentlessly exterminating the destructive power of the Destruction and Oblivion Heavenly Lightning of the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths. Only an energy as extreme as the Two Qi of Yin and Yang, present at the beginning of the universe, could contend with this apocalyptic force.

As Yin and Yang revolved, the Bluesilver Emperor constantly provided Tang San with the power of rebirth. The breath of life allowed him to continuously reconstitute his body. He overcame the fourth thunderstrike, once again.

After weathering four thunderstrikes, Tang San's body underwent another transformation. As the lightning tore through his skin this time, Jingjing faintly saw his muscles, bones, meridians, and even his internal organs beginning to turn gold.

Tang San's body seemed to be tempered by the tribulation, each strike enabling him to undergo a metamorphosis.

The terror of the Destruction and Oblivion Heavenly Lightning of the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths became like an aid in his training, serving to elevate his cultivation—as long as he could withstand the destructive power of the lightning tribulation and not truly perish.

At this moment, the twisted expression on Tang San's face appeared to relax significantly as if his agony had subsided, or perhaps he had gradually grown accustomed to the pain.

The fifth thunderstrike followed closely. This time, half of Tang San's body was directly shattered by the impact.

In a critical moment, a red light surged from within Tang San, and another Bloodline Brand shone brightly.

It was the final Bloodline Brand Tang San had integrated before facing the tribulation, also his ninth Bloodline Brand.

Before ascending the Crystal Sacred Mountain, Tang San had already visited four Holy Mountains. These included the Sword Saint Palace of the Sword Saint Big Demon Emperor and the two Holy Mountains of the Tianyang Spirit King and the Earth Yin Spirit King. So, what was the fourth Holy Mountain?

It was precisely the Undying Holy Mountain of the Eternal Heaven Burning Immortal Monster Emperor. Yes, the ninth bloodline brand he integrated was from none other than the lineage of the Undying Fire Phoenix. At this very moment, as the red light surged, Tang San's entire body was enveloped in a blazing red flame. The Undying Fire Phoenix's Talent Skill, Rebirth from Fire, undying and unyielding!

The Phoenix Nirvana is one of the Monstrous Tribes' most powerful abilities. Tang San's body continued to be destroyed by the thunder, but his regenerative ability greatly increased with the addition of Nirvana rebirth.

This was another ace up Tang San's sleeve.

He had long planned for this Bloodline Brand. Nothing could enhance his endurance more than Nirvana rebirth. From the very beginning, Tang San never believed he could withstand the Nine Heavens Ten Earths Great Destruction Oblivion Heavenly Lightning. Unless he could endure until he returned to the God King level under the tempering of this tribulation, making this plane powerless against him.

But this was impossible. After all, he would run out of trump cards eventually, and he couldn't possibly improve that much during the process. However, his goal was to withstand as much of the Nine Heavens Ten Earths Great Destruction Oblivion Heavenly Lightning as possible. Although it could kill him at any time, the more he withstood and absorbed, the greater the benefits for him.

Simply put, enduring one bolt of lightning could be equivalent to several years of arduous cultivation. This was after reaching deity level. Moreover, the attribute of destruction contained within the Nine Heavens Ten Earths Great Destruction Oblivion Heavenly Lightning was comparable to the destructive power of the Divine Realm. This was a special attribute only a God King could control. To possess it at this stage was much more valuable than the Golden Slaughter Power of Pretty Girl's Golden Slaughter Tribulation. It was one of Tang San's ultimate techniques for the future.

After five bolts of thunder, Tang San had successfully cultivated his Leakproof Golden Body. Relying on the Leakproof Golden Body and Phoenix Nirvana, he withstood the sixth lightning tribulation.

But this time, his body was almost entirely obliterated by the thunder, except for his head. Had it not been for Nirvana rebirth, he might have truly died.

In the Nine Heavens Ten Earths Great Destruction Oblivion Heavenly Lightning, it would be impossible for Tang San to be reborn if his entire body was destroyed. This was a tribulation, not normal death. It was as if he had died after being judged by the heavens. Once his body was completely obliterated, it meant true death.

Six tribulations had come, and by this time, most of Tang San's trump cards had been played.

However, at this moment, the seventh bolt of thunder had already arrived, and it was even more powerful.

Above Tang San's head, a vertical eye slowly emerged, its black and white pupil emanating haloes of the same colors, enveloping the Tang San below. It was the Spirit Rhinoceros Eye.

As the strongest Bloodline Brand Tang San possessed before the appearance of the Super Bloodline, he had elevated it to the Ninth Stage peak after arriving in Heaven Garden. Now, it had evolved to Rank 10 along with his evolution.

A faint smile appeared on Tang San's face, and Jingjing, watching at his side, found his smile to be incredible. How could this guy still smile at a time like this?

And at that moment, one of the lotus seeds that had been by Tang San's side suddenly rose and was devoured by the Spirit Rhinoceros Eye, merging into it.

When the seventh lightning bolt descended and shattered in front of the Water of Chaos, the next instant, it was entirely blocked by a halo of black and white.

Naturally, this halo of black and white was Tang San's Field of Fortune and Misfortune. While definitely not capable of resisting the tribulation, it acted like a filter, sifting through the lightning tribulation.

A strange scene unfolded. After the thunder passed through the Field of Fortune and Misfortune, it became much gentler, and an aura within the domain seemed to integrate with the thunder tribulation, taming its ferocity into sluggishness, as if it was uncertain about something.

In such circumstances, the originally fierce seventh thunder scattered and descended upon Tang San. After undergoing six thunder tribulations, his body was already exceptionally strong. Although he was still riddled with wounds, his body did not break apart at all. It seemed easier to withstand this than the previous two thunder tribulations.

But after withstanding this thunder tribulation, the glow of the Heavenly Fox Holy Mountain dimmed by several shades.

The Great Demon Emperor Heavenly Fox's complexion changed drastically, and he roared, "Crystal, no!"
