Facing Tang San's rebuttal, Rong Nianbing sneered.
"Can you really give it?"
Although the Sea God was a quasi-God King, ultimately not a full God King, he couldn't control the God Realm Core within the God Realm.
If he couldn't control the God Realm Core, Tang San's status would drop a whole level. Forget about opposing Destruction now; he probably couldn't even manage his own heir, Huo Yuhao.
He'd end up embarrassing himself.
Although Tang San was special, inheriting dual godhoods with twin Martial Souls, this also made his godhoods difficult to pass on.
Any god in the God Realm could see that Tang San couldn't possibly pass on the Shura Godhood.
Even if he did pass it on, it would have to be after the Sea Godhood. Otherwise, if his successor became stronger than him and wasn't very respectful, he'd have a hard time standing in the God Realm later.
The key was that Tang San's personality and actions weren't well-liked to begin with.
So, if he wanted to pass on a legacy, it definitely had to be the Sea Godhood first, then find a way to pass on the Shura Godhood later.
Moreover, there was a crucial point: his Shura Godhood wasn't obtained entirely by his own effort. A Shura Godhood didn't just affect him; it also affected Xiao Wu. Could he really hand it over casually?
If handed over, what about the scabbard of the Shura Divine Sword?
If the sword's use right goes to an outsider, does the scabbard go along?
"I have my own pace. You don't understand," Tang San said angrily.
"If you're prepared to hand it over, then re-propagate the god trials. Huo Yuhao also has multiple Martial Souls; he also has the chance to inherit multiple godhoods. If you truly want to give him the Shura Godhood, I don't mind letting Huo Yuhao inherit dual godhoods."
Tang San was speechless internally.
He was just posturing, but this Rong Nianbing was putting him directly on the grill.
How could he give that?
Definitely couldn't.
"What if my Sea Godhood is about to advance to God King?"
Tang San remained stubborn.
"With Huo Yuhao's aptitude, he could fully inherit the Shura Godhood, but his experience is insufficient. He simply couldn't withstand the erosion of the Shura's killing intent."
Rong Nianbing remained unmoved, sticking to one point.
"If you want to give it, then release the god trials. By the way, there's no way to obtain the Killing God Domain in the lower plane now, right? You'd better set one up again."
Tang San completely lost his composure.
"Rong Nianbing!"
He stretched out his hand, and the Sea God Trident appeared.
Seeing this, Rong Nianbing narrowed his eyes. With a wave of his right hand, the seven knives from his kitchen flew out, circling around him.
"What? You're going to attack me openly?"
Tang San hesitated.
Seeing this, the God of Destruction also stepped in to mediate.
They really couldn't fight.
"Tang San, you not only didn't give Huo Yuhao god trials in advance, but you also didn't give him normal trials. Rong Nianbing's actions aren't problematic."
"Let me say something fair. If you both want to compete for the heir, use your own methods. After all, Huo Yuhao's aptitude is sufficient. As long as he can become a god in the end, that's fine. Just don't fight in the God Realm. How about that?"
The God of Destruction's words calmed both of them down, and they put away their weapons.
The God of Destruction breathed a sigh of relief.
This was not a fight to be had.
He could clash with Tang San, but Rong Nianbing couldn't. It wasn't that Rong Nianbing couldn't beat Tang San or something, but Rong Nianbing had brought assets into the God Realm. Behind him was a god-level plane capable of reaching first-class godhood. With his joining as a partner, the God Realm's power had significantly increased.
He was a partner; couldn't afford to drive him away.
After resolving their dispute, the God of Destruction felt something was wrong and quickly looked towards the lower plane.
Why was there no movement for so long?
His divine sense pierced through space, capturing the situation on the Douluo Continent. The God of Destruction couldn't help but frown.
"He even usurped the status of Lord of the Plane?"
Su Ming used the identity of Lord of the Plane to disperse the heavenly tribulation, saving the Heaven Refined metal.
This counted as circumventing the heavenly tribulation mechanism.
But—
"Usurping the status of Lord of the Plane, even if unsuccessful, will cause the Plane Will to sprout."
First, he didn't want a Lord of the Plane to appear in the lower plane. That would make the lower plane like Rong Nianbing's case. Once it broke with the God Realm, the Lord of the Plane could directly take the lower plane out of the God Realm's control.
Second, even if Su Ming's usurpation failed, the Douluo Star would inevitably have a true Lord of the Plane in the future.
If no one successfully usurped it, the Plane Will would completely take form, becoming the Spirit of the Plane, i.e., the Lord of the Plane.
Su Ming, commanding Heaven and Earth, dispersing the heavenly tribulation—this scene was no less than a divine descent.
Last time during the Spirit Fighting Tournament, he had performed a divine descent once, imitating Tang San's method. This time, he used a completely different method to descend again.
"My goodness, has he secretly become a god already and is just playing with us?"
"Half right. If he became a god, he definitely wouldn't be bored enough to act with us."
"Wah, to be alive in the same era as a deity."
"Only hate that we were born in the wrong time!"
"Yes, yes! The reason we can't make a name for ourselves is because Su Ming is suppressing this era. We've all been overshadowed."
"..."
Su Ming was still concentrating on forging.
The heavenly tribulation dispersed, then the thunderclouds were reused, gathering once again.
"What's going on? Is the heavenly tribulation coming again?"
"No, this aura..."
Du Busi looked up at the sky, sensing the difference between the two instances of thunderclouds.
"Is this the blessing Xiao Ming mentioned for the Heaven Refined metal? The nine major elements... The aura of this thunder tribulation makes even me feel threatened."
His expression turned grave.
The so-called blessing is only a blessing if you survive it. If you can't survive it, it's no different from a heavenly tribulation.
"Nine-colored thunder tribulation. Even Teacher Zhen Hua hasn't seen this, right?"
Su Ming looked up at the thunderclouds in the sky, a flicker of excitement in his eyes.
This was top-tier Heaven Refined metal.
He intended to use Heaven Refined material of this caliber to create Four-Word Battle Armor and continue nurturing it to Five-Word, even Six-Word Battle Armor!
"Can you withstand it?"
He had stopped forging, looking at the Elemental Control Spirit Gold before him.
He directly named this Spirit Alloy 'Elemental Control,' concise and clear. This was the Heaven Refinement foundation designed to suit his Douluo 3 body.
The Elemental Control Spirit Gold trembled.
It couldn't withstand it.
Although its foundation was solid, it was, after all, newly born. How could it withstand a Limit Douluo-level thunder tribulation?
Su Ming smiled.
"Just fuse with my Martial Soul later."
He released Little Chaos.
"Chaos, I leave it to you."
"Okay."
Little Chaos looked at the Elemental Control Spirit Gold. The Elemental Control Spirit Gold didn't refuse and directly fused into Little Chaos's body.
"Ah!"
A flash of pain appeared in Little Chaos's huge eyes.
Fusing with Heaven Refined metal was an opportunity but also a massive strain. If it couldn't withstand it, it could truly die.
However, Little Chaos was only in pain. He had Su Ming's support behind him.
Leaving Little Chaos to fuse with the Spirit Gold, Su Ming charged into the sky.
Two-Word Battle Armor!
Domain of Chaos!
Body Martial Soul Possession!
Gold-level Second Awakening!
Layer upon layer of power erupted, pushing his strength into the Limit Douluo domain.
Thunder tribulation power ran rampant.
Boom!
Su Ming bathed in the thunderous power, clashing with the lightning.
