Soul Land 5: The Rebirth of Tang San - Chapter 380: One Minute Is Up

Chapter 380: One Minute Is Up

But at that moment, the Crystal Demon Emperor’s form suddenly became ethereal, like a bubble. When Tang San thrust his spear, it pierced through the bubble, and the Crystal Demon Emperor’s image dissipated like water waves.

In the next instant, amidst the rippling water, his figure reformed a short distance away. His eyes flashed with purple-gold light—Purple Demon Eyes! Spiritual shock!

How could this be?

Without hesitation, Tang San activated his Purple Demon Eyes again. He didn’t have the near-invincible ability the Crystal Demon Emperor had just used. If the opponent controlled his spiritual power, it would mean instant death.

Stepping with Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track, he didn’t retreat. The all-or-nothing strike with his Blue Silver Emperor Tyrant Spear wasn’t over; he continued to thrust at the Crystal Demon Emperor.

The fierce Lion Tiger Golden Astral suddenly erupted, igniting into flames. At this moment, Tang San also began to burn his bloodline power.

He couldn’t hesitate any longer. The opponent was simply too strong, with one powerful ability after another, each nearly at the level of a first-tier bloodline. The opponent’s Phoenix Transformation forcibly suppressed his Golden Roc Transformation. He had to continue the onslaught.

With their spiritual powers nearly equal, neither could dominate the other with their Purple Demon Eyes. Tang San’s spear had already reached its target.

The Omnipotent Crystal Demon Emperor fully displayed their power at this moment. Everything around suddenly turned into a vast sea, countless streams of water entwining Tang San and making it difficult for them to move forward. The immense pressure from the ocean bore down on Tang San, squeezing their body.

At the same time, the phoenix wings behind the Crystal Demon Emperor spread open again, and a sword appeared in their hand instead of a spear.

The Sword Saint Demon Emperor’s sword?

But at this moment, Tang San’s expression became somewhat peculiar.

A sea? You probably don’t know my divine position in my past life.

Tang San’s eyes instantly brightened. The divine consciousness hidden at the center of his spiritual power subtly fluctuated. If the Crystal Demon Emperor could see his sea of consciousness now, they would find it had turned azure blue.

The Crystal Demon Emperor’s sword slashed down towards Tang San, bound by the water. Their crystalline figure moved almost instantly, using the Peacock Transformation’s teleportation.

But in the next moment, all the surrounding space suddenly froze. The water trapped in Tang San transformed into a massive whirlpool, sweeping the Crystal Demon Emperor inside.

The platinum flames on Tang San’s body surged again. He knew the reason the Crystal Demon Emperor had chosen to trap him with water was likely due to the influence of the fortune bestowed upon him.

Likewise, propelled by the water, Tang San’s body shot forward like a cannonball, crashing into the replica possessed by the Crystal Demon Emperor.

“Interesting!” The melodious voice sounded again. The next moment, Tang San saw the replica trapped in the water suddenly swell, transforming into a giant over twenty meters tall. The water trapping him abruptly shattered.

At this moment, Tang San’s body collided with the giant replica, but he was met with a massive palm.

Bang!

Tang San felt the immense force the moment they collided, a power he couldn’t possibly resist. He immediately activated the Peacock Transformation. At this moment, the Crystal Demon Emperor couldn’t control the fragmentation of the surrounding space.

Tang San reappeared tens of meters away, but the immense force from the collision hadn’t entirely dissipated due to the teleportation. His body was still forcefully slammed into the ground, producing a muffled bang.

The giant replica’s hand opened, and dark golden claws extended from its fingers. As they extended, the surrounding air was torn apart.

Is this… the Behemoth bloodline power of the Sky-Splitting Demon Emperor?

But in the next moment, the claws retracted quickly, and the replica’s body returned to its original Tang San form.

The replica grinned at Tang San, “One minute is up!”

Tang San exhaled deeply, collapsing to the ground and gasping for breath.

Did the opponent follow the one-minute rule? In fact, during that intense battle, he had no way to keep track of time. It felt like they had only fought for a few seconds. Due to the use of various powerful bloodline abilities, the flow of time was completely indeterminable.

This battle was undoubtedly the toughest Tang San had faced since arriving in this world. Besides using his divine consciousness, he had given it his all. He had faced a peak ninth-order replica of himself, controlled by the Omnipotent Crystal Demon Emperor.

With his cultivation, he felt a sense of powerlessness at this moment. He had thought his mastery of various bloodline powers was already formidable, but the Crystal Demon Emperor controlled many more, far beyond his imagination. Was this guy truly omnipotent? And now that he had exposed so many of his bloodline powers, how would the Crystal Demon Emperor deal with him?

This time, he had indeed miscalculated. He hadn’t expected the First Demon Emperor to take such an interest in someone as insignificant as an eighth-order cultivator like himself.

“Congratulations, you passed my test.” The replica gave Tang San a strange smile, and in the next moment, it dissolved into a shadow and quietly flowed into Tang San’s body.

Immediately, all the insights from the previous battle, particularly those from the replica’s perspective, surged into Tang San’s mind. He felt a tremor in his spirit, as if his brain was filled with new knowledge.

It took him a full moment to gradually regain his senses. At this moment, he had already climbed all the steps, and the mist before him had cleared, revealing a huge crystal palace in his view.

Just by looking at it, he felt his consciousness starting to waver. Hastily, he controlled his mind and slightly lowered his head, no longer staring at the terrifying structure.

The powerhouses of this world are truly formidable! He had originally thought he was invincible among those of the same rank, but he hadn’t expected the Crystal Demon Emperor to be so powerful. It’s truly incredible. No wonder he’s the First Demon Emperor. He defeated Tang San using just a replica of himself.

At this moment, a figure slowly walked out from the crystal palace.

Strange light waves rippled around as he appeared, making the crystal palace behind him become ethereal again. The oppressive aura that could almost twist one’s spirit also vanished.

Tang San looked up and saw a man completely clad in crystal armor. He couldn’t tell his age; he seemed to be twenty but also could be thirty. His eyes were a peculiar light blue, and the crystal armor on his body exuded a faint chill.

When he appeared, the entire Crystal Sacred Mountain seemed to resonate slightly. The powerful divine consciousness he exuded seemed to make the entire world tremble.

Was this the true form of the Crystal Demon Emperor?

An ordinary eighth or ninth-order demon or nymph couldn’t discern this figure’s cultivation level. But Tang San, with his divine consciousness, could immediately sense the aura this figure emitted. This was a top-tier powerhouse, undoubtedly a twelfth-order Demon Emperor-level expert. Who else could it be but the Crystal Demon Emperor himself?

“Your Majesty,” Tang San bowed slightly. While his body appeared relaxed, his mind was on high alert. If the other party decided to kill him due to the multiple bloodline powers he had displayed, he would have no choice but to activate his divine consciousness at all costs and hope for a slim chance of survival.

The Crystal Demon Emperor stopped ten meters away from Tang San. Without moving his lips, the melodious voice from the earlier battle echoed out.

“The various bloodline powers you used don’t seem to be replicated. How did you achieve this?”
