Chapter 674 673
When the familiar life aura lingered around them, they were astounded to find themselves back in the Golden Valley. From the Ancestral Court to the return to the Golden Valley, the entire process had taken just over an hour. How inconceivable that was, and it must surely be the first of its kind in the history of Demon Monster Land.
Pretty Girl turned her head to look at Tang San, her heartbeat inadvertently speeding up. With such a Teleportation Array, the possibilities between Jiali City and the Ancestral Court were vast. Precisely because Jiali City was the furthest main city from the Ancestral Court, there were even more opportunities.
However, Tang San's expression remained as usual, as all of this had been within his expectations.n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om
Pretty Girl took a deep breath, for although she had been away for less than ten days, she had also gained a lot. Constructing the Teleportation Array with Tang San had deepened her understanding of the spatial attribute, and, concurrently, practicing divine consciousness at the White Tiger Grand Hotel and perceiving the sword intent with the Sword Saint Great Demon Emperor were rare opportunities.
"I'll go back first. I need a few days to digest what I've gained and then deal with the affairs of Jiali City. I'll come to look for you in a few days," Pretty Girl said.
"Hmm. Let me hug you before you leave," Tang San said with a smile.
Pretty Girl's cheeks flushed, and she punched him in the chest, but Tang San took the opportunity to pull her into his embrace. Holding her, he felt somewhat reluctant to let go. Her warm, soft body carried a faint fragrance, intoxicating his mind and soul.
"Alright, I'm going," Pretty Girl wriggled in his arms.
"Hmm. Come back soon," Tang San then released his embrace.
"Okay," Pretty Girl's face was slightly red, and she nodded lightly before activating the Teleportation Array and leaving the Golden Valley.
After Pretty Girl left, Tang San's gaze returned to calm. He walked out of the cave, came to the Golden Tree, and while absorbing the life aura emitted by the Golden Tree, he pondered the exchange with the two Emperors at the Ancestral Court.
In Pretty Girl's presence, he never showed anything. But in his heart, he felt somewhat heavy. From the reactions of the White Tiger Great Demon King and the Sword Saint Great Demon Emperor, it was clear that for Pretty Girl to successfully inherit the throne and become the true ruler of Jiali City was not an easy matter. This involved many aspects; the ancestral instructions of the Ancestral Court were the biggest obstacle, followed presumably by the Great Demon Emperor Heavenly Fox's intentions.
The one who controlled Luck, in his presence, both his own and Pretty Girl's fortunes were likely to be discerned by him. He could somewhat hide his own luck fluctuations with the Spirit Rhinoceros Eye, but Pretty Girl's luck was not something that could be concealed.
Through the Spirit Rhinoceros Eye, Tang San could see that after Pretty Girl's Cultivation base broke through to the God Rank, her Luck soared like a gushing well. Although it had not reached the state of shooting up into the clouds like his own, it was also extremely strong.
What did such Luck signify? If the Great Demon Emperor Heavenly Fox saw it, he might at least deduce that she was of Emperor rank. But with the Peacock Peeping into the Skies controlling Luck, would the Heavenly Fox allow her to truly grow?
Moreover, the stance of the Ancestral Court towards humans was also particularly important. But could the human settlements just stop being built? To cease right there? As the White Tiger Great Demon King suggested? That clearly had become impossible.
As the saying goes, once an arrow is fitted to the bowstring, it must be shot. Humans had finally gained a protector in the form of a Main City Lord; when this news spread by the Redemption Organization, it was uplifting, encouraging, and the best message to rally human spirit. Under such circumstances, if the construction of the settlements near Jiali City were to suddenly cease, it would undoubtedly cause the cohesive spirit to collapse. Humans were already fragile, not just physically, but also emotionally. As former slaves finally presented with an opportunity to turn the tables, how could they be demoralized?
Yet, should the Ancestral Court descend upon them in full force, could Jiali City really hold up? Let alone Pretty Girl's successful accession to power. Even if she were genuinely to become the ruler of Jiali City, if the will of the Ancestral Court truly arrived, could she really stand against it? He would be unable as well.
Preparations must be made in abundance, Tang San resolved.
He could see far beyond Pretty Girl. For humans to survive better, gambling on luck was simply not an option. Relying on the Ancestral Court to overlook human settlements was no different from courting death. In fact, it was tantamount to suicide.
With this in mind, Tang San already had a plan. Preparations must begin sooner.
Sitting cross-legged beside the Golden Tree, Tang San focused inwardly.
The bloodline of the Diamond Elf, full of vigorous Life Aura, emitted a faint glow. This was the bloodline of a Rank 10 strong, but in reality, the extent of what Tang San could absorb was still just the peak of Ninth Stage. Until he broke through to God Level, that was the limit of his bloodline power. The Golden Body Variation could confront God Level, but that didn't mean it was at the God Level. Instead, it was combatting God Level with Ninth Stage strength, which was what made it terrifying.
The reason he chose the bloodline of the God Level Diamond Elf was to absorb it and cause a certain transformation within the Diamond Elf Clan Fascia, and it had to be the very peak among the Ninth Stage peaks—the limit he could withstand.
Without much hesitation, protected by the Golden Body Variation and wielding control with the Spirit Rhinoceros Eye, Tang San directed the Diamond Elf Clan Fascia directly into his Bluesilver Emperor.
To avoid adverse effects, he deliberately opened the Yin and Yang Vortex but did not participate in this fusion.
The bloodline aura of the Diamond Elf was incredibly solid. As the fusion began, Tang San felt his body almost solidifying, inadvertently creating an inexplicable connection with the earth, as the Earth Element within his body surged wildly. As it touched the Bluesilver Emperor bloodline, it launched a reverse Devouring on the Bluesilver Emperor bloodline.
Although the Bluesilver Emperor bloodline had been enhanced through a series of improvements by Tang San, it was currently just a Level 2 Bloodline. The Diamond Elf bloodline, however, was a pure First level Bloodline. Even if it wasn't the strongest among the Spirit Monster clan, it had the strongest defense. Upon this fusion, the Diamond Elf immediately gained the upper hand.
However, Tang San's heart did not belong to the Diamond Elf. His divine consciousness was embedded within the Bluesilver Emperor, allowing the Diamond Elf's Bloodline Brand to assail it. Relying only on the Bluesilver Emperor bloodline, he slowly absorbed the characteristics of the Diamond Elf to strengthen himself.
At such times, the imposing Golden Body Variation played a very strong role. The onslaught of the Diamond Elf was fierce, seeking to break through the defenses of the Bluesilver Emperor. Yet, under the auspices of Luck from the Spirit Rhinoceros Eye, coupled with the Golden Body Variation's segmented protection against the Diamond Elf, it could only be absorbed bit by bit by Tang San.
Tang San never acted blindly when he did something. Apart from the last fusion of the Golden Body Variation, which unexpectedly caused dimensional suppression and was a special case, another fusion of bloodlines obviously would not cause such an issue.
Stay tuned with empire
Gradually, the Bluesilver Emperor itself began to turn into a crystal-clear transparency. It was still a blend of blue and gold but had transformed into transparent vines. Its toughness increased at a geometric pace, and even the aura of the entire Brand burst forth rapidly, swiftly advancing to the level of a First level Bloodline.
Tang San's body also developed a translucent quality. He could feel that with the emergence of this new First level Bloodline, the toughness of his own body had also increased. However, that feeling of swelling to the limit made suppression increasingly difficult.
Now, Tang San's body was like a balloon inflated to the brink—an improper touch could trigger an explosion. And his explosion would naturally attract lightning tribulation, forcing him to confront the Tribulation.
This was a scenario Tang San absolutely did not wish to face at the moment. He must wait for what he considered the best moment to undergo the Tribulation.
