A full set of the Sea God's Thirteen Trident Techniques. Old Tang seemed to be taking the opportunity to teach all these to Tang Wulin.
However, what shocked Old Tang wasn't Tang Wulin gaining some insight, but rather Su Ming moving on the opposite side.
Su Ming reached out and beckoned. A divine spear fell into his hand't was the Pioneering God Spear.
Two-Word Battle Armor, merge!
Borrow power, Trinity!
Lord of the Plane!
Under layer upon layer of empowerment, his aura swiftly expanded, reaching a level equivalent to Old Tang's.
Then, his divine spear traced points in the air in succession. Streams of mysterious energy flowed't was precisely the Sea God's Thirteen Trident Techniques.
Old Tang's eyes widened as if he had seen a ghost.
Su Ming chuckled gleefully.
His playful mood was quite high today.
He had just received the first-generation Sea God's recognition in the Douluo 1 era, obtained the Sea God's Divine Trials, and even learned the Sea God's Thirteen Trident Techniques. Before he could even warm them up, here came Tang Wulin with Old Tang delivering themselves.
If not for the gains from Douluo 1, Su Ming would have had to expend considerable effort dealing with these two. At the very least, he wouldn't be as relaxed and casual as now, probably unavoidably having to struggle for control of the Vast Sea Cosmic Crest and deal awkwardly with the trouble of these Sea God techniques.
Now it was different.
His status directly suppressed Old Tang and Tang Wulin. He didn't need to lift a finger; the Vast Sea Cosmic Crest was steadfastly his.
Strictly speaking, he was the second generation designated by the first generation. If it weren't for the incomplete Divine Trials over in Douluo 1, not fully inheriting the Godhood, he could even say he was on the same level as Tang San.
Even if not on the same level, he was only half a level lower at this moment.
As for the Sea God's Thirteen Trident Techniques, having received the first-generation Sea God's inheritance, Su Ming understood the mysteries of these moves. Thus, he used corresponding techniques to dismantle Old Tang's moves.
Unfixed Wind and Waves against Unfixed Wind and Waves. The golden rings collided and directly annihilated each other.
As for White Clouds Drifting Through a Thousand Years, Vast and Empty, they also mutually annihilated.
The prerequisite for achieving all this was that Su Ming's power was comparable to Old Tang's.
Old Tang's last chance to intervene was of course very powerful.
But he underestimated his enemy.
Not only did he want to demonstrate the Sea God's Thirteen Trident Techniques to Tang Wulin, but he also wanted to reserve part of his power to help Tang Wulin gain control of the Vast Sea Cosmic Crest.
One could say he was too greedy.
If he had used all his power to execute one Unfixed Wind and Waves, he could have immobilized the remotely descending, not-at-full-strength Abyssal Sage King for half a minute. Against Su Ming, perhaps it would have been a minute.
But he didn't do this.
And could not possibly have done this.
Su Ming also wouldn't have given him the chance to immobilize himself. Su Ming wasn't like that reckless novice, the Abyssal Sage King.
In the original story, he descended using the Demon Empress's body, then held Tang Wulin. Tang San emerged from within Tang Wulin... most importantly, when dodging, he swung the Heaven Saint Abyss-Cleaving Halberd to slash at the Unfixed Wind and Waves ring, wasting many opportunities to dodge, so of course, he was caught perfectly.
"How is this possible?"
Old Tang muttered in a low voice, his eyes filled with incredulity.
He glanced back at Tang Wulin, then looked at Su Ming.
He looked at Tang Wulin again, a flicker of puzzlement in his eyes, as if questioning Tang Wulin.
Is he your brother?
Old Tang was somewhat questioning him life now, suspecting his original self hadn't sent just one Tang Wulin to Douluo Planet, but also a Su Ming.
But he quickly denied all this.
Impossible!
While Old Tang was bewildered, Tang Wulin showed an anxious expression.
That frustration at one's failure to meet expectations look fell into Old Tang's eyes, making his heart sink with a thud.
He took a deep breath, knowing he had to help Tang Wulin subdue Su Ming today.
Holding the Golden Dragon Spear, he merged into Tang Wulin's body, directly taking over Tang Wulin's physique.
Qi and Blood power boiled, fusing with his divine power. He advanced to engage Su Ming in battle.
He had to save every bit of divine power consumption he could.
Su Ming was obviously not someone to be dealt with in a short while.
Su Ming, holding the Pioneering God Spear, showed not the slightest fear. He fought dozens of rounds with the Old Tang-possessed Tang Wulin.
Gashes appeared one after another on Tang Wulin's body, all from the tip of Su Ming's Pioneering God Spear.
"Eleventh Seal!"
Feeling his power draining rapidly and far from enough to oppose Su Ming, Old Tang gritted his teeth and opened the eleventh seal.
Within each of those seals was a portion of the Sea God's divine power.
With the eleventh seal unsealed, the divine power used to maintain the seal was naturally drawn upon by him.
As for the sealed Golden Dragon King power, the moment the seal broke, it impacted Tang Wulin's body shattered into pieces.
Old Tang gritted his teeth, channeling this power to erupt outside the body.
He used his divine power to control this power, directly venting it out.
He didn't retain any of the origin power at all, controlling the origin within this eleventh seal, intending to squander it recklessly.
His power simply wasn't enough anymore.
If he were to be defeated now, Tang Wulin would also inevitably die on the spot.
As for how Tang Wulin would absorb the subsequent twelfth seal without the origin power from the eleventh seal... that was a matter for later.
That's right. With this seal unsealed, Tang Wulin would be unable to obtain the power within.
"Once Gone, Never to Return!"
This was the strongest single-target move among the Sea God's Thirteen Trident Techniques. Seeing this, Su Ming dared not take it head-on.
However, 'Tang Wulin' simply gave him no chance to dodge. Holding the Golden Dragon Spear, a golden dragon illusory figure condensed on the spear shaft, suddenly burst forth from the spear, pouncing on Su Ming from a commanding position. If Su Ming dodged, this strike would directly destroy the Tree of Life below.
Not only had A Yin failed to possess the Tree of Life, she was instead suppressed by the Tree of Life. He could only try to destroy this tree.
Su Ming took a deep breath, finally shocked by the depths of this old thing's unscrupulousness.
Having no other choice, he finally mobilized the power of the great array.
At the same time, the seventh Spirit Ring, which had never been used externally before, began to shine. Its black-gold color didn't look very conspicuous, but its fluctuations were difficult to completely ignore.
Within the boundless gloom, strands of golden light suddenly appeared. These golden lights were not dazzling; instead, they appeared gentle and noble.
Su Ming's body vanished, as if merging with heaven and earth.
"Seventh Spirit Skill, I Am the World!"
This was his Martial Soul True Body's transforming himself into energy, evolving into a piece of the world.
In this special state, he could even merge with the entire great array. And in this form, he was at his strongest state.
Boom!
'Tang Wulin' was shocked, not expecting Su Ming to truly dare to take head-on this strike of his.
He had now squandered most of the origin power from the eleventh seal within his body. The divine power recovered from this seal had also been exhausted. Clearly, he couldn't unleash a second strike.
He directly lifted his head, shouting at the sky.
"Tang Hao!"
"Tang Hao!"
"Tang Hao!"
Three shouts shook heaven and earth, as if trying to call forth that person from the unseen depths.
However, no matter how his cries echoed, no one could respond.
He suddenly turned his head, looking at Su Ming, who had re-condensed an ethereal form after the energy aftershocks dissipated. He said coldly, "The plane power on you is also stolen!"
"What a joke. A good-for-nothing who, even after scheming for ten thousand years with the offerings of the Spirit Master world, couldn't digest the Lord of the Plane's he even worthy for me to steal from?"
"No more trump cards? Then submit to your fate."
Su Ming couldn't be bothered to say more to 'Tang Wulin'.
After dragging on for so long, he should die now.
With that, the Pioneering God Spear condensed once more.
On the opposite side, 'Tang Wulin' gritted his teeth, staring fixedly at Su Ming, making a certain decision.
"Wulin, my original self will avenge you!"
As he spoke, he directly manipulated Tang Wulin's body to self-destruct.
No, not self-destruct, but unsealed the seals within Tang Wulin's body, one after another.
Roar!
A dragon's roar echoed over the Blood God Legion. The insane will instantly affect countless Spirit Masters below.
Su Ming's face was cold and indifferent. His hand holding the Pioneering God Spear hooked in front of him, tracing a golden circle.
