Soul Land V: Rebirth of Tang San

"The Rihchen Empire\'s top-ranked Heavenly Spirit Emperor is also ranked above the Great Demon Emperor Heavenly Fox within the Ancestral Court Council. He is known as the Tianyang Spirit King, a very unique existence, originating from a line of Tianyang Flowers and nurtured over hundreds of years through the grafting of eight different Spirit Monster tribes. This perfect and special existence is known as the Tianyang Flower. Due to the use of several exceptionally strong bloodlines during its cultivation, and several failures, the cultivation of the Tianyang Flower seems to be nearly irreversible. And this Tianyang Spirit King is over two thousand years old. The Rihchen Empire is also worried about how to pass down his bloodline. His title is Born and Raised by Heaven, which together is Born and Raised by Heaven Tianyang Spirit King. It is said that in the Ancestral Court Council, he is also referred to as \'Four Heavens\'."

"What are his abilities?" Tang San asked.

Zhang Haoxuan said, "I don\'t know. He rarely acts in person, but he is recognized as the strongest of the Spirit Monster Race, ranking just below the Crystal Great Demon Emperor. As for who is stronger between him and the Crystal Great Demon Emperor, there is no clear statement at present. But he must be extremely powerful. To be ranked before the Dominator of Fate, the Great Demon Emperor Heavenly Fox, he must also be recognized by the Great Demon Emperor Heavenly Fox."

"Ranked second among the Heavenly Spirit Emperors is the Earth Yin Spirit King, who achieved his royal status from cultivating as an Earth Yin herb. Alongside the Tianyang Great Demon Emperor, he governs the light and dark aspects of the Spirit Monster world. Similar to the creation of the Tianyang Flower, the Earth Yin Spirit King is also a product of multi-plant cultivation, but is comparatively more replicable. Still, reaching his level of state is extremely difficult. It is said that the Earth Yin Spirit King has the power to control the earth and possesses a tremendous suppressing force against other Spirit Monster races. Hence, his title is Earth Suppressing Everything, Earth Suppressing Everything Earth Yin Spirit King. Within the Rihchen Empire of the Spirit Monster Race, these two monarchs of heaven and earth command greater prestige than the other five emperors. They are the true rulers of the Rihchen Empire."

Tang San realized that whether it was the Tianyang Spirit King or the Earth Yin Spirit King, Zhang Haoxuan didn\'t introduce their abilities. Undoubtedly, this meant that the Redemption Organization had less knowledge about the Spirit Monster Race\'s Rihchen Empire than the Tianyu Empire. Or perhaps the Spirit Monster Race is relatively low-key. But without a doubt, being able to stand alongside the Crystal Great Demon Emperor and the Great Demon Emperor Heavenly Fox, these two Heavenly Spirit Kings must be terrifyingly powerful beings.

Zhang Haoxuan continued, "Ranked third among the Heavenly Spirit Emperors is the Soul-Stealing Spirit King, who cultivated from the Soul-Stealing Tree. Among all the Great Demon Emperors and Heavenly Spirit Emperors, when it comes to divine consciousness cultivation, probably only the Crystal Great Demon Emperor can compare with him. He has exceptional spiritual strength. It is said that where the Soul-Stealing Spirit King goes, he can control all things, especially the Spirit Monster races and tree beings, all within his control. He even has the ability to give life, allowing even stubborn stones to become spirit beings. His title is Stone-Touching, Stone-Touching Soul-Stealing Spirit King."

"Ranked fourth among the Heavenly Spirit Emperors is the Phoenix Tree Spirit King, who arose from cultivating as a Phoenix Tree. Although his name suggests wood, his attribute is fire, and any burnable entity can be turned into his nourishment. He possesses the mighty power to burn the heavens and boil the earth. Although he is only ranked fourth among the Heavenly Spirit Emperors, it\'s important to note that he is the one with the closest relationship to the Great Demon Emperors. This is because his partner is the third-ranked Undying Fire Phoenix among the Great Demon Emperors. The Undying Fire Phoenix and this Phoenix Tree Spirit King are a pair."

Hearing this, phrases like \'Phoenix nests in the Phoenix Tree\' instantly came to Tang San\'s mind. Without a doubt, when the two are together, their powers are likely to increase dramatically, making them an extremely powerful presence.

Great Demon Emperors and Heavenly Spirit Emperors are powerful enough as it is, and now there is an even further level of power through marriage. Truly leaving no room for other races to survive!

"The pairing of the third-ranked Great Demon Emperor and the fourth-ranked Heavenly Spirit Emperor is a combination that can shock the Demon Monster Land. However, precisely because their union was so strong, when they decided to be together, they voluntarily gave up their respective principal cities and both stayed within the Ancestral Court. This was done to lessen the wariness of the other Great Demon Emperors and Heavenly Spirit Emperors. But within the Ancestral Court, their authority is undoubtedly great. Even the regular administrator, the Great Demon Emperor Heavenly Fox, shows them respect."

"Continuing on, the fifth-ranked Heavenly Spirit Emperor is a very curious existence. As mentioned before, the Soul-Stealing Spirit King has the ability to make stones come to life, and this Heavenly Spirit King is the result of a stone cultivating itself into a spirit being. His original form is a Liuli Stone, which he cultivated into a spirit and ultimately achieved royal status. His abilities are said to be myriad and unfathomable. Therefore, he is also known as the Thousand Changes Luminous Celestial Spirit Emperor."

"The sixth-ranked is the Diamond Celestial Spirit Emperor, who cultivated from a Diamond Elf. Diamond Elf is a type of metallic ore known to be the toughest, and it doesn\'t conduct any elements. It naturally possesses resistance to nearly all elements. So, among the Heavenly Spirit Emperors, purely in terms of defense, he is the strongest. Moreover, he is both offensive and defensive. When Monsters say, \'the toughest Diamond Elf,\' they\'re referring to him. The Diamond Celestial Spirit Emperor\'s title is Indomitable. His relation with the Sky-breaking Great Demon Emperor is very poor, possibly because their titles clash. They\'ve fought many times. Although he cannot defeat the Sky-breaking Great Demon Emperor, the Great Demon Emperor can\'t harm him either; he can only injure him but is unlikely to kill him. Hence, he has made a name for himself."

"Ranked seventh and also the last Heavenly Spirit Emperor is known as the Endless Spirit King, said to be a deep well spirit that achieved sentience through cultivation, mastering water itself on its path to ascension. Thus, it is also referred to as Endless Water. Among all the Great Demon Emperors and Heavenly Spirit Emperors, it possesses the ability to wield the widest range of attacks, controlling rivers, lakes, and oceans, as the origin controller of the water element. The name \'Endless\' derives from the Endless Blue Ocean, embodying its dominion over all waters. Its majestic title is: \'Endless Heavenly Spirit Emperor of the Watery Expanse.\'"

Zhang Haoxuan finished outlining the basic information about the seven Heavenly Spirit Emperors.

These seven are:

The naturally nurtured Tianyang Spirit King.

The Earth Suppressing Everything Spirit King.

The Stone-Touching Soul-Stealing Spirit King.

The Sky Burning Earth Cooking Paulownia Spirit King.

The Thousand Changes Luminous Celestial Spirit Emperor.

The Indomitable Diamond Celestial Spirit Emperor.

The Endless Heavenly Spirit Emperor of the Watery Expanse.

Just these titles alone are enough to provide ample room for imagination. Nine Great Demon Emperors and seven Heavenly Spirit Emperors—this is the terrifying force at the cornerstone level on the Demon Monster Continent. And this is without considering the possibility that there are even stronger beings hidden among the masses.

Tang San murmured to himself, "Tianyang Flowers, Earth Yin Grass, Soul-stealing Trees, Phoenix Tree Wood, Liuli Stones, Diamond Elf Essence, Endless Water. This includes Yin and Yang, encompassing flowers, grass, trees, wood, stones. It also covers wood, fire, earth, metal, and water. Truly all-encompassing! Impressive."

He faintly felt that, compared to the Great Demon Emperors who acted independently, the bond between the Heavenly Spirit Emperors seemed much more intimate, with even the attributes of their ascension complementary to each other. No wonder they could match the might of the Tianyu Empire\'s nine Great Demon Emperors with just seven top-tier powerhouses.
