Soul Land V: Rebirth of Tang San

His steps somewhat heavy, he made his way toward the back mountain.

For him, this day was the most perilous since he had arrived in this world. It was also the first time he had used his divine consciousness.

Even though the strength of his divine consciousness had nearly been completely drained, even though he could hardly hold on in the end, the slowly nurtured and growing divine consciousness now remained only as a flickering wisp, like a candle in the wind, he had no regrets.

Removing his mask, Asura transformed back into Tang San.

Only when he returned to his own room at Redemption Academy did he fully relax.

His entire body went limp, and his internal aura was in complete disarray.

Taking a deep breath, he barely managed to operate the Mysterious Heaven Method, trying to stabilize his body.

With the taut string in his heart finally loosening, a profound sense of exhaustion seemed poised to rapidly pull him into slumber, but he knew that he couldn\'t sleep just yet. If he fell asleep now, his divine consciousness might truly be extinguished.

Thus, he could only force himself to stay awake, quietly circulating the Mysterious Heaven Method, silently channeling his soul core and Spiritual Core to communicate with each other and nurture himself.

Faced with a Demon King of God Level, no matter how many tricks he had up his sleeve, he couldn\'t bridge the gap of status. Therefore, when the Dark Crow Monster King took Pretty Girl away, he had already made up his mind that he must save Pretty Girl, even if it meant using the divine consciousness. Because at that moment, he could not ascertain what dangers Pretty Girl would face after being taken away.

Although he later deduced some of the situation, there was no doubt that taking Pretty Girl away was the best option.

Pretty Girl\'s own strength and wisdom had also led her to the same conclusion, which is why she chose to escape at the first opportunity.

Not even the Dark Crow Monster King could catch up. With the power of his divine consciousness and the abilities of the Bluesilver Emperor, Tang San easily concealed their auras. He then breathed a sigh of relief, feeling that there was no longer a need to use his divine consciousness. He could just sit back and watch the tiger fight.

But later, he found he couldn\'t do that. Because the battle between the Crystal Phoenix Demon Emperor and the Peacock Demon King now threatened the entire Jiali City.

The Peacock Demon King was after all her father. Even if every Demon Race father needed to be killed, he was still her father. And moreover, over at Jiali Plaza, her mother was there!

From the situation, if Jiali City fell into the hands of the Crystal Phoenix Demon Emperor, everything he was currently facing would change and be destroyed, something he did not wish to happen before attaining divine-rank. Moreover, Pretty Girl\'s ultimate aim was to replace the Peacock Demon King, thereby taking control of the Peacock Demon Clan and securing a safe haven, a space for human survival.

So, from any perspective, the current situation in Jiali City could not change, the Crystal Phoenix Demon Emperor must not succeed.

The Dark Crow Monster King\'s second arrival was deliberately provoked by Tang San. It was he who purposely let go of the concealment of his and Pretty Girl\'s auras, drawing the Dark Crow Monster King to them.

By activating that bit of divine consciousness, he could certainly give himself a transient scent of his past life, but he didn\'t have the energy needed to sustain that scent. And the Dark Crow Monster King outside of Jiali City was the best choice.

Only with the spiritual bloodline support of the Dark Crow Monster King, in addition to his consumed divine consciousness, could the pressure of the Sea God that he later maintained in Jiali City be upheld.

With his divine consciousness alone, he was enough to suppress a God Rank Demon King. As for the situation in Jiali City, it served as a deterrent. The deterrence implemented right before both sides were about to suffer mutually detrimental injuries, even to the point where one might die, was enough to dispel any thoughts of continuing the battle.

But all of this, came at the cost of consuming his divine consciousness. The energy expenditure was far too great for him. If he weren\'t constantly bracing himself to protect Pretty Girl, he would have probably passed out long ago.

This consumption of divine consciousness, he feared, wouldn\'t recover for a year or two. He needed a long time to nurture it. Of course, devouring the divine-ranked bloodline power of the Dark Crow Monster King also brought certain benefits to himself, enhancing his physical strength and advancing a great deal in the seventh level of Mysterious Heaven Method. And this was despite the fact that the vast majority of the energy had been expended on the Pressure of the Sea God.

At least, the final outcome was good. From the Dark Crow Monster King, he also obtained the storage bag the God Level Demon King carried with him, which contained many treasures. It was just that he had no time to sort through them now.

This night, the entire Jiali City was restless.

The presence of beings at the Great Demon Emperor rank had not been known to act in front of the common people for many years, yet not only had they done so this time, but they had targeted Jiali City, and the Peacock Demon Clan that had guarded the city for hundreds of years. Undoubtedly, this would cause a major stir in Jiali City and even have an incalculable influence throughout the Tianyu Empire.

Most importantly, the outcome of this battle was not a victory for the Crystal Phoenix Demon Emperor. At least on the surface, it seemed as if both parties were in a mutually detrimental stalemate. The Peacock Demon King, City Lord of Jiali City, had actually withstood an attack from a Great Demon Emperor. This forced many nobles within Jiali City to reassess the strength of the Peacock Demon Clan.

At the same time, the Ancestral Court would certainly react. If the Crystal Phoenix Demon Emperor had won this battle, and with the disappearance of the Ice Dragon Demon King to cover up the incident, accusations could be levied against the Peacock Demon Clan, allowing for a swift takeover of Jiali City.

But the problem was, the Crystal Phoenix Demon Emperor didn\'t win this time, and he himself was seriously injured. Naturally, he couldn\'t just speak for himself anymore, and what\'s more crucial is that, in the world of the Monsters, might has always been right, and power trumps reason. Without strength, there\'s no basis for reasoning. The Peacock Demon King, supported by the burning of ancestral fortunes, had gravely injured the Crystal Phoenix Demon Emperor. Moreover, the appearance of that terrifying figure from the sea at the end would definitely make the Ancestral Court view Jiali City differently.

The changes this period would bring were bound to be many. It was the best opportunity for the Crystal Phoenix Demon Emperor to press down on Jiali City with her newly coronated power, and having missed this chance, or rather, her suppression having failed, it won\'t be easy for her to attempt such a power move again. After all, the Peacock Demon Clan also has allies within the Ancestral Court, and once they demonstrate enough strength, their influence will naturally return.

The influence of this event only began at the end of the great battle, and it will form a very profound impact for a long time to come.

At dawn, as the morning sun rose anew, everything seemed to have returned to tranquility. Only the damaged buildings of Jiali City still bore the aftermath of the earth-shaking battle of the previous day.

Redemption Academy.

Du Bai stood on the roof of his house, gazing towards the distant east, silently cultivating his Heavenly Fox Eye.

The Fifth Stage of the Heavenly Fox Eye seemed to allow him to see into another world, and he was becoming more and more genuinely aware of the changes the top-tier Demon God Transformation Bloodline brought to him. Even his whole demeanor seemed to have undergone a complete transformation.

Compared to before, he was more confident, and his aura now carried an ethereal quality. Without speaking or making a sound, he looked every bit the elegant and learned beautiful youth.

A figure flickered into view beside him, and it was none other than Tang San. Not far off, on the roofs nearby, Gu Li, Cheng Zicheng, and Wu Bingji also emerged.

Now their entire team could be said to be cultivating the Purple Demon Eyes, and they were all showing good progress. The enhancement of Spiritual Power greatly aided everyone\'s cultivation.
