Chapter 217 Tang San's Divine Oracle, Bull Heaven Titan (Part 2)
He opened another jar of new wine, but swallowed the words that were on the tip of his tongue. He simply raised the jar and clinked it against Niu Tianxu's, sighing, "Ah, never mind, I won't say anything more. Who told me I'm so incompetent? Let's drink, let's drink. When that Huo Yuhao comes, I'll give him a good beating, hehe."
Boom boom boom — bitter wine down the throat, heart aches.
The two clinked glasses and drank, and for a moment the only sounds in the room were the sloshing of wine and the sound of swallowing.
Suddenly, their bodies jolted simultaneously, and then shock flashed in their eyes as they abruptly stood up.
In that instant, it was as if four bolts of lightning suddenly appeared in the entire hall, two of them azure and two of brown.
The sudden burst of terrifying energy even caused the palace-like hall to creak unbearably.
"Big brother, you felt it too?" Titan's relaxed and leisurely expression had vanished without a trace, replaced by a look of surprise and uncertainty in his eyes.
Before Niu Tian could reply, he raised his right hand, and a strong golden light emanated from his palm. Immediately afterwards, nine halos rose up from beneath his feet.
It was actually seven black and two red rings, and the black and red colors seemed different from ordinary ten-thousand-year and hundred-thousand-year soul rings. They had a greater sense of weight and majesty, and their aura was completely consistent with his, as if they were produced by the same kind of soul beast.
Among the nine spirit rings, the sixth spirit ring shone brightly. Immediately afterwards, Titan quickly drew golden light patterns on his hand, which began to converge into some kind of pattern in front of him.
"Wait a minute." Niu Tian suddenly raised his hand and pressed down on Titan, actually suppressing the aura emanating from him.
next moment.
Driven by some powerful intuition, their gazes involuntarily and simultaneously turned towards a certain direction deep within the castle.
That place is the true forbidden area of Haotian Fortress, the location of the Ascension Pavilion.
A dazzling blue-gold light, like the sea and sky pouring down from above, fell from the sky!
A blue-gold pillar of light, seemingly capable of piercing through heaven and earth, suddenly shot into the sky from the direction of the Ascension Pavilion. The light even penetrated the thick stone walls and dome of the castle, illuminating the entire hall in a magnificent glow.
Amidst the light, the faint, majestic phantom of a trident could be seen flashing by.
Poseidon's Trident?
Niu Tian and Titan were no longer just surprised, but utterly shocked and incredulous. They were all too familiar with this aura; it was the Trident of the Sea God, the weapon most beloved by the Sea God, the Asura God, and Tang San, the ruler of the God Realm. How could they allow it to fall into the Douluo Continent?!
Before they could think further, a vast, ethereal voice boomed without warning from the depths of Niu Tian and Titan's hearts: "Da Ming, Er Ming, come to the Ascension Pavilion at once!"
The voice was as gentle and pleasant as ever, but it clearly revealed an indescribable weariness and urgency.
Without the slightest hesitation, Niu Tian and Titan, without even bothering to tidy their appearance, vanished from their original positions like two bolts of lightning that tore through space, rushing towards the Ascension Pavilion at top speed.
Inside the Ascension Pavilion, on the usually deserted altar, a golden trident radiating immense divine power is quietly planted in the center.
The exposed shaft of this trident alone is about ten feet long, and the entire halberd is over twelve feet long, as thick as a child's arm, its surface shimmering with a blue-gold aura. A fine pattern of golden lines spreads across its surface, each line clearly defined and extending to the very top. The central blade is two feet long and half a foot wide, with a huge golden rhombus-shaped gem inlaid in its lower middle section. The two side blades are relatively thinner. It feels like a sword, yet it possesses immense weight.
The halberd hummed, its surface shimmering with light. This was not an illusion, but the very real Trident of Poseidon, or even—
The huge golden rhombus-shaped gem flashed before Niu Tian's eyes.
The Trident of the Sea God, bearing the inheritance of the Sea God's divine position!
Before the trident, a slightly ethereal yet incomparably powerful blue-gold figure stood with his back to the door, hands clasped behind his back.
It was a projection of Tang San's divine sense. However, this projection was far less solid than the ones that descended through the Ascension Pavilion in the past. Its edges fluctuated constantly, making it extremely unstable and even somewhat blurry, as if it might dissipate at any moment.
Niu Tian and Titan rushed into the pavilion. Seeing this scene and sensing the barely concealed weakness and urgency in Tang San's projection, their hearts sank to the bottom. Without hesitation, they immediately knelt on one knee, heads bowed, and respectfully said in unison, "Greetings, Lord Sea Cucumber!"
Tang San's spiritual projection slowly turned around. His face was still handsome, but his brows were shrouded in an unprecedented heaviness and weariness.
"Da Ming, Er Ming, we are all brothers, why be so formal with such formalities?"
He spoke gently, but made no move to make the two of them get up.
Niu Tian and Titan naturally knelt even more respectfully.
"Alright, I'm just a projection of divine consciousness, so I can't force you."
Tang San sighed, then said solemnly, "Da Ming and Er Ming, you must have sensed it as well. The God Realm has undergone a great upheaval, with nearly half of the gods, including the God of Destruction and the God of Life, perishing—"
The first two sentences were like a bolt from the blue, shaking Niu Tian and Titan to their core, making them almost unable to believe their ears.
"At this critical juncture, in order to protect Xiao Qi's safety and ensure the prosperous and orderly development of Douluo Continent, I hereby declare in the name of the ruler of the God Realm that your divine official examinations in the lower realm are hereby cancelled immediately."
As Tang San finished speaking, Niu Tian and Titan simultaneously felt the divine essence deep within their bodies, which Tang San had integrated into them beforehand but which had been sealed away due to their failure to pass the test, quietly revived.
A vast and powerful divine force began to surge through their meridians. Although it would take a considerable amount of time before it was fully integrated and digested, their aura was visibly rising.
"Alright, in this way, you only need to focus on absorbing the divine essence within your bodies in Douluo Continent, and you will naturally advance to the rank of God Official without having to endure the ordeal of the assessment."
Tang San spoke very quickly and swiftly began assigning the next task.
"Within this trident of the Sea God lies the complete imprint of my Sea God's divine position. Although Xiao Qi is a bit lazy, he possesses my bloodline and divinity, so inheriting this divine position shouldn't pose too much of a obstacle. Your most important task is to do everything in your power to ensure Xiao Qi successfully inherits the divine position!"
"Secondly—"
'
Tang San's projection raised a hand and pointed at the radiant trident, then his gaze became incredibly sharp, even carrying a hint of cold killing intent: "At their last moments, the God of Destruction and the God of Life imprinted their divine positions and bestowed them upon a man from the Sun Moon Empire named Kong Tianxu in the lower realm."
"Although the two enforcers sacrificed themselves for the God Realm, their contribution was immense, and I admire their heroic sacrifice and promise to ensure their lineage endures. However, the Tang Sect's tradition cannot decline because of this, and the future格局 and dominance of the Douluo Continent must never fall into the hands of alien races, especially the Sun Moon Empire!"
His illusory figure stared at the two kneeling figures, and with each word, decisive and resolute, issued yet another order: "Although this boy is only at the sixth ring at present, his strength is extremely astonishing, and he must not be allowed to live. You two, prepare immediately and take action personally. You must kill Kong Tianxu on the spot. He is right here now."
As they spoke, a reflection of water suddenly appeared.
Is he Kong Tianxu? Didn't Xiaodong say he was nine feet tall and nine feet wide, with flames on his palms? How come he's so young?
How can one simultaneously gain the favor of the god of life and the god of destruction?
Niu Tian and Titan exchanged a glance, quickly suppressing their doubts.
"As for the positions of God of Destruction and God of Life—let Xiao Qi try for the position of God of Life first," Tang San's voice was unusually uncertain. "If that doesn't work, we'll follow the method Xiao Wu and I used, letting my Tang Sect's future rising star bear the burden. As for the position of God of Destruction, if Huo Yuhao can pass the test left behind, then inheriting it is not impossible. If he can't—"
Tang San's illusory figure lightly flicked his fingers, as if strengthening a distant and hidden seal, his tone indifferent: "Then you can't blame me for not giving you a chance. The inheritance of a divine position ultimately depends on fate and ability."
At the same time, the same golden trident magic pattern appeared on the foreheads of the two figures with pink and blue hair, which instantly spread to their entire bodies, and then they fainted together as the magic pattern disappeared.
"In that case, this can be considered as giving an explanation to the two enforcers. I believe their lingering spirits will be gratified to see two Tang Sect disciples who have inherited the spirit of Shrek Academy."
Speaking of the Tang Sect and Shrek Academy, Tang San's words unconsciously carried a hint of pride. Finally, he looked at the surrounding sea of clouds and the vast continent with deep affection, his voice carrying a complex meaning: "My Clear Sky Sect has been silent for a thousand years. Now that the God Realm is undergoing dramatic changes and the continent is about to be engulfed in turmoil, it is time for us to reappear in the world."
If necessary, you can also help that rising star of the Tang Clan grow faster. Remember, remember.
As soon as he finished speaking, Tang San's already weakened divine consciousness projection began to become transparent and blurry at an accelerated pace, clearly indicating that his power was about to be exhausted.
Niu Tian and Titan suddenly looked up, their eyes filled with unwavering determination and chilling killing intent. They exchanged a glance, instantly understanding the entire situation and the heavy responsibility they now bore.
Without the slightest hesitation, they solemnly replied, "We will obey the Sea God's decree! We will do everything in our power to protect Xiao Qi, eliminate the target, and restore the prestige of the Tang Clan and the Haotian Sect!"
Tang San's projection seemed to nod slightly, then completely turned into specks of blue-gold light dust and dissipated within the Ascension Pavilion.
The trident of Poseidon slowly dimmed its light, turning completely black, and stood silently, awaiting its successor.
Silence returned to the pavilion, with only the heavy breathing of Niu Tian and Titan, and the silent, pervasive sense of killing intent and urgency.
Niu Tian was the first to stand up, his face now as cold and stern as ice, devoid of any of his previous ease. He said in a deep voice, "Second brother, immediately issue the order: the sect shall enter a state of highest alert, and all disciples who are out on missions shall be recalled immediately."
"Also, I remember Huo Yuhao's martial soul is the Ultimate Ice? You haven't used that quiet room with the ten-thousand-year-old ice jade marrow bed for chilling wine anymore, have you? Clean it up and make it ready for use at any time."
"Furthermore, summon Elder Tang immediately. Tell him that this is a matter of vital importance concerning the survival of the sect and the future of the continent, and must be discussed immediately without delay!"
"Brother, you're confused. With such a commotion just now, they were already waiting for us."
Titan chuckled, stood at the entrance of the Ascension Pavilion, mimicking Tang San's posture with his hands behind his back, truly looking like a monkey in a crown. He then channeled his soul power and roared like thunder at the dozen or so middle-aged and elderly people with varying expressions floating in the sea of clouds: "Meeting—!!!"
Seeing the obvious displeasure on the faces of the middle-aged men, yet they still flew over together under the leadership of the eldest elder, Titan became even more smug. His brown-yellow pupils blazed with golden light, and his ferocious aura was no longer suppressed.
Hahaha, I'm finally going to become a god!
He licked his lips, revealing a cold and cruel smile: "Kong Tianxu—hey, haven't stretched my muscles in a while. Big brother, you can rest assured, that kid, and those things he shouldn't have taken, we'll take care of them cleanly."
