Soul Land V: Rebirth of Tang San

This time, the entire sky had turned a deep purple, and the terrifying lightning tribulation covered the entire Ancestral Court, its overwhelming energy mercilessly descending.

All the Emperors felt the immense pressure, and there were changes in their expressions.

This lightning tribulation was something they had only seen once in their lifetimes. Although it was not aimed at them, and they could retreat at any time, the Ancestral Court was the crystallization of countless generations of Emperors' hard work and the spiritual aspiration of both the Monster Clan and Spirit Clan, the true land of their ancestors. If it were destroyed, it would shake the foundation of the two clans' rule. Therefore, they had to protect this place at all costs.

"Roar—" The Sky-breaking Great Demon Emperor who had not taken action until now suddenly let out a furious roar. Its already massive body inflated dramatically. Dazzling golden light burst forth from it. In almost an instant, it transformed into a terrifying giant beast over five hundred meters tall, its body radiating blinding golden light, connecting heaven and earth.

Its arms extended, and its hundreds of meters long sharp claws spread out, mercilessly reaching for the sky.

In the entire sky, numerous huge space cracks appeared all at once, as if the sky was truly being torn apart, and they began devouring the descending lightning tribulation over a large area.

This scene, even in the eyes of the other Emperors, was extremely shocking.

As a Behemoth giant beast capable of rivaling dragons and phoenixes, the strength displayed by the Sky-breaking Great Demon Emperor left even those ranked higher than him shocked.

A blinding cold light ignited beside the Sky-breaking Great Demon Emperor, it was a sword, a pitch-black longsword. The moment the longsword soared into the sky, it was as if it pierced through the heavens; amidst the calamity clouds, it forcefully created a void, allowing sunlight to fall through once again.

The sunlight shone on the blade, instantly causing the originally pitch-black longsword to shimmer brightly, and all the surrounding thunder was drawn to the sword, as if it had found a lightning rod.

The longsword moved, aligning the attracted thunder with the space cracks torn open by the Sky-breaking Great Demon Emperor, channeling all the descending lightning into the cracks.

It was the Sky Piercing Cloud Conquering Sword Saint Demon Emperor!

The boundless sword beam, coupled with the Sky-breaking Great Demon Emperor's ferocious aura, seemed to suppress the lightning tribulation in the sky in that instance.

The Emperors present were not only the Great Demon Emperors; there were also Heavenly Spirit Emperors. At this moment, the Emperors of the Spirit Monster Clan, seeing this, could not help but frown slightly.

Although Demons and Fairies shared the same roots, there has always been a competitive relationship between the Monster Clan and Spirit Clan, with the Spirit Clan being suppressed by the Monster Clan. In secret, the Spirit Clan had been making efforts, trying to find a way to regain the upper hand.

However, for both races, the top combat effectiveness is always the most crucial comparison. On the side of the Monster Clan, they had the Crystal Great Demon Emperor, at the peak of all Emperors, along with nine Emperors in total. Initially, it was supposed to be the Spirit Clan who had an eighth Emperor, but in the end, it was the Monster Clan that gained the Crystal Phoenix Demon Emperor. This matter once caused quite a dispute between the two clans.

But now, as they watched the Monster Clan's Emperors display their strength one by one, the Heavenly Spirit Emperors from the Spirit Clan couldn't help feeling awed.

The Sword Saint Demon Emperor was one of the last-ranked Great Demon Emperors, yet the strength he displayed was in no way inferior; it was much stronger than what they had understood. There was no need to mention the Sky-breaking Great Demon Emperor—his burst of Sky-breaking power in that moment was not much less than that of the Undying Great Demon Emperor. The strength of these Great Demon Emperors was truly formidable and fearsome.

Once again, the lightning tribulation was blocked, and on the other side, the Great Demon Emperor Heavenly Fox had already returned to the Ancestral Court Council. The White Tiger Great Demon Emperor had returned with him as well.

At this time, the White Tiger Great Demon Emperor could not afford to avoid any suspicion. Since Heavenly Fox had originally targeted Pretty Girl, what if he harmed her now? With him there to oversee, there would be no fear.

In the Ancestral Court Council, colorful ribbons of light still continuously assaulted Pretty Girl's delicate frame, but without the presence of the numerous Emperors to oversee, it was much gentler than before. Pretty Girl's eyebrows were tightly furrowed as she endured the baptism of the Ancestral Court's Power. Even now, she was still able to maintain stability.

The Great Demon Emperor Heavenly Fox returned to the council, and after his previous impotent rage, he had gradually calmed down. Looking at Pretty Girl, who was withstanding the impact, a strange impulse suddenly surged in his heart—the impulse to destroy the girl before his eyes.

It was an intuition, a subconscious intuition. It seemed that only by destroying this girl could everything be resolved. For an Emperor, even just an intuition was often enough. However, at the moment, another intuition lingered in the heart of the Great Demon Emperor Heavenly Fox—that if this girl were to die, the resulting disaster would be unimaginably terrible. In his intuition, it seemed like an expanse of darkness, filled with deathly stillness.

"Stop the baptism, shall we? It has been long enough," White Tiger Great Demon King's voice rang out, awakening the Great Demon Emperor Heavenly Fox from his indecision.

The Great Demon Emperor Heavenly Fox turned his head to look at him and suddenly asked in a deep voice, "Lightning tribulation, is it related to you?"

Kill intent flashed in the eyes of White Tiger Great Demon King, "Related to me? What did you just sense? Was it the aura of my Race?"

Upon hearing his question, the Great Demon Emperor Heavenly Fox immediately frowned but also shook his head at the same time.

Indeed, although he had sensed the fluctuations of two Super Bloodlines through his divine consciousness, within those, there were elements of yin and yang, strangeness, rage, spatial changes, and even the shifting of fate. However, there was no killing intent of the White Tiger Great Demon King. Therefore, even though he couldn't confirm which Emperor was responsible, it definitely had nothing to do with the White Tiger Great Demon King, for such a characteristic was absent among the multitude of auras.

"Then why do you ask?" White Tiger Great Demon King said, clearly annoyed.

With a wave of his hand, the Great Demon Emperor Heavenly Fox slowly retracted the colorful streamers from below, but despite this, Pretty Girl's body was still encircled by a halo of colorful light. In the time that had just passed, the energy absorbed by Pretty Girl was simply too vast and too mixed.

The Great Demon Emperor Heavenly Fox floated down to Pretty Girl's side.

White Tiger Great Demon King followed close behind, closely monitoring the situation from a short distance.

The Great Demon Emperor Heavenly Fox spoke in a heavy voice, "She has received the Ancestral Court's baptism, absorbing a considerable amount of energy. But the energy is mixed, and it will take time for it to truly integrate with her. However, the Ancestral Court cannot wait. White Tiger Great Demon King, can you promise in her stead?"

White Tiger Great Demon King's heart stirred; he understood that the Great Demon Emperor Heavenly Fox was indicating a willingness to compromise. In other words, it was possible for him to agree to Pretty Girl successfully taking office and becoming the lord of Jiali City.

"Speak," he responded without questioning.

The Great Demon Emperor Heavenly Fox said, "If she becomes the lord of Jiali City, then in the future, she must not be an enemy of the Ancestral Court in any form, and she must comply with the commands and deployment of the Ancestral Court. Otherwise, you must personally take action to destroy her. Even if she becomes an Emperor in the future, it remains so."

White Tiger Great Demon King's eyes narrowed slightly, "I don't know what you're worried about. True, she carries Human Bloodline, but don't forget that she also carries the blood of the Peacock Demon Clan and mine, far more potent than her Human Bloodline, I might add. Moreover, as the lord of Jiali City, as the patriarch of the Peacock Demon Clan, think of the glory she would have. At most, she would want to protect Humans a bit, to keep them from being too wretched."

A chill flickered in the eyes of the Great Demon Emperor Heavenly Fox, "Do you agree? Also, you will have to accompany me to Jiali City. The Human settlements there cannot remain."

Kill intent surged in the eyes of White Tiger Great Demon King, "Are you trying to make her and me come to a rupture?"
