The Titan Giant Ape was on the verge of death. The moment the red soul ring surged, a water-blue light appeared.
The Demon Empress took out an object similar to a Rubik's Cube from her hand and smashed it fiercely toward the connection point between Tang San and the Titan Giant Ape's soul ring rules, where the soul master could not touch.
"Bang—"
The 100,000-year soul ring attached to the Clear Sky Hammer came to an abrupt halt, and the sacrifice process was forcibly interrupted.
The Demon Empress bypassed the stunned Tang Chen and launched an attack on Tang San.
"Stop!"
Tang Chen's face changed drastically.
He really did not expect the Demon Empress to have the ability to terminate a sacrifice.
What was that square object?
"Sea God Heart!"
Bo Saixi was astonished.
In the instant the Demon Empress threw out the square object and it bounced back into her hand, that familiar aura—Bo Saixi was eighty percent sure it was the Sea God Heart.
Especially that aura of the vast sea, it was absolutely the warm power of Lord Sea God.
"Why is the Sea God Heart in your hand?"
Tang Chen and Bo Saixi almost simultaneously launched an attack on the Demon Empress from front and back.
The momentum was grand; although it did not reach their peak, it was still extremely terrifying.
"If you want to deal with our Demonic Whale clan, you still ask why? I only say you will pay the price."
The Demon Empress gave up attacking Tang San and instead blocked the incoming attacks from Tang Chen and Bo Saixi.
"Tang San is the Sea God's inheritor. A few years ago, the image of the Angel God from Spirit Hall was manipulated—it was the Sea God's doing. If you don't act now, when will you?"
The Demon Empress shouted loudly toward Spirit Hall, then used the water attribute affinity from the Sea God Heart to counterattack.
"Soul skill—Black Abyss Devouring Prison."
This move was originally one the Demon Empress could only use after reaching the god realm in the future, but after obtaining the Sea God Heart from Gu Yuena, she could already barely use it.
This was a domain-like ability, but stronger than ordinary domains.
With a point of her finger, the surrounding air was isolated, as if turned into a vacuum.
"In this space, I am god."
Dense water arrows gathered from all directions, launching an attack on Bo Saixi and Tang Chen.
The two, already not lightly injured, could only cope with difficulty.
"Wah—"
"Pu—"
Under the dense attacks, Bo Saixi and Tang Chen's bodies could not hold on.
They spat out a mouthful of blood and flew backward, crashing through the surrounding flowers and plants along the way.
On the other side, with the Demon Empress's reminder, the people from Spirit Hall launched a fierce offensive against Tang San.
The Sky Azure Bull Python's massive body blocked in front of Tang San.
"Get out of the way; this doesn't concern you."
The Mad Lion Douluo in martial soul true body form used its sharp claws to grab the Sky Azure Bull Python's body and throw it aside. Because of the Sky Azure Bull Python's counterattack, it forcibly took a hit, blood overflowing from the corner of its mouth.
Mad Lion Douluo was blocked, but with the Fifth Elder, Sixth Elder, and Bibidong attacking Tang San, Tang San's situation was extremely perilous.
At that moment, the Sea God Trident in Bo Saixi's hand rapidly flew over.
"Sea God Thirteen Forms—Unfixed Wind Wave"
A massive phantom appeared behind Tang San.
"Sea God Bo Saixi, you have overstepped."
The Limit Douluo Bibidong reacted first, using soul power to resist the binding and shouting at the azure blue phantom.
"Bibidong, laying hands on my inheritor—you have gone too far. Moreover, you actually collude with sea soul beasts."
"Heh, Bo Saixi, don't put on such official airs with your level." Bibidong sneered. "What Spirit Hall does requires no judgment from you."
Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo suddenly appeared from the shadows, their martial souls erupting.
"Martial soul fusion skill—Absolute Zero Domain"
The two, whom Bo Saixi had originally ignored, simultaneously unleashed their martial soul fusion skill.
This ability involving time caught Bo Saixi off guard for a moment.
At that moment, a hazy aura came from the sky, and holy light rapidly gathered into a light sword.
"Divine skill—Angel Adjudication"
"Withdraw!"
Almost the instant Qian Renxue's voice fell, the soul masters from Spirit Hall quickly distanced themselves from Tang San.
The next moment, the Angel Holy Sword formed from soul power fell from the sky, its radiance nearly spreading across the entire Star Dou Great Forest.
"Not good!" The Sea God phantom, having regained mobility, trembled slightly.
"Damn it!"
The light engulfed a thousand-meter radius of the Star Dou Great Forest. As the Sea God's divine weapon, the Sea God Trident "bang" shattered in the light.
The Sea God's phantom also collapsed and disappeared like losing its source.
The balance of war always shifts inadvertently.
Tang Chen and Bo Saixi were heavily injured again. Tang San spat out blood; if not for using the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud at the critical moment to absorb the flesh and blood from the dead Titan Giant Ape to replenish blood, he might have been gone.
However, even so.
Tang San covered his mouth, spitting out blood.
Bo Saixi and Tang Chen, from the initial shock, had already recovered in the brief time from the Sea God's appearance and disappearance.
The two appeared first near Tang San, and the Sky Azure Bull Python also quickly blocked in front of Tang San.
"Sky Azure Annihilation Thunder."
"Clear Sky Nine Absolutes—Nine Absolutes as One."
"Ninth soul skill—Sea God Binding."
Thunder fell, accompanied by terrifying hammer winds gathered in one place.
And chains condensed from seawater from all directions assaulted Bibidong and the others, hindering the Spirit Hall members' attacks on Tang San.
Tang Chen grabbed Tang San by the collar, while the Sky Azure Bull Python picked up Er Ming the Titan Giant Ape's two soul bones. The three exchanged a glance and ran toward the outside of the Star Dou Great Forest.
Using a 100,000-year soul ring as bait should be sufficient. With the battle situation unfavorable, they could only withdraw first.
Grabbing Tang San's hand, Tang Chen felt Tang San's life aura decaying at a visible speed.
If he was not wrong, it was the purification power of the six-winged angel; just why it would reduce Tang San's life force was unknown.
Now they could only escape quickly first. The three "whoosh" away from Bibidong and the others.
However, a figure blocked in front of the few—it was Qian Renxue.
"Damn it, you again." Tang Chen's eyes were bloodshot.
Damn it, completely unreasonable—these guys ate fruits from who knows where that had healing effects.
If they kept fighting, probably everyone would be done for here.
"Great-Great-Grandfather, let me handle it." Tang San struggled to lift his head, his voice weak.
"Sky Azure Bull Python, do you believe me?"
"What?"
"It's the previous matter. I promised I would revive you."
"You mean..." The Sky Azure Bull Python's face sank.
"I need more blood."
Tang San's determination infected the Sky Azure Bull Python; azure-blue light emanated from his body.
"I believe you. Sacrifice!"
Seeing the soul power surging on the Sky Azure Bull Python and the familiar ripples, Qian Renxue, who had wanted to stall for time, changed expression drastically and moved to stop it.
"Useless, Qian Renxue."
"Although I don't know what changed history, you will die here."
The Angel Holy Sword thrusting toward Tang San was repelled by the Buddha phantom Tang San raised and the azure-blue converging fused light from the Sky Azure Bull Python.
"Tang San, you won't!"
Terrifying holy radiance surged from Qian Renxue's Angel God Outfit.
A drop of water droplet appeared on Tang San's finger, but this drop was condensed from blood.
"Qian Renxue, you will die here. Let you see the true power of Mysterious Heaven Technique."
Xiao Wu, the Titan Giant Ape, and even the still-sacrificing Sky Azure Bull Python— their bodies dried up at a visible speed.
The golden Buddha phantom, under the gathering of blood, was tinged with blood-red color, giving a sense of wrathful Vajra.
