  But, they had no idea that Tang San was now under unspeakable suffering.

  Just after that red energy condensed on his six spirit bones, constantly pouring ice cold energy within, the Seagod Trident brand on his forehead couldn’t take it anymore. Intense golden light radiated from the Seagod Trident brand, illuminating a large stretch of the sea bottom. At the same time, six lines of golden light surged from the Seagod Trident brand, pouring into Tang San’s six spirit bones. The ice cold feeling was instantly dispersed, replaced by the scorching heat so familiar to Tang San.

  One icy and one hot, this extremely cold and extremely hot feeling was in no way pleasant.

  A long time back, Tang San had experienced this kind of ice and fire when he absorbed the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass and the Inferno Delicate Apricot. But compared to then, this time the feeling was even more intense.

  The Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass and Inferno Delicate Apricot were only purely hot and cold, but now the Seagod’s golden and Deathgod Domain’s transformed red weren’t as simple as warm and cold.

  The Seagod’s gold contained vast bright sacred energy, and the Deathgod Domain’s evolved red contained was brimming with vast terrifying slaughter energy. These two were incompatible, and immediately clashed. And the battleground was naturally Tang San’s six spirit bones.

  The most pitiful one still wasn’t Tang San. The enormous purple energy that belonged to the Deep Sea Demon Whale King’s spirit ring should originally have been extremely terrifying, but in the clash of the red and golden light, its purple light was basically suppressed until it didn’t even dare twitch. Moreover, as the red and golden lights struggled, they also constantly absorbed its energy to strengthen themselves, as if competing to see who could absorb fastest. Even though the Deep Sea Demon Whale King’s spirit ring energy was enormous, it still disappeared drop by drop under this kind of intense absorption speed.

  How did his spirit bones become battlefields? Tang San couldn’t keep from screaming. Suddenly sacred, suddenly slaughter, suddenly ice cold, suddenly scorching hot, these two kinds of presences moreover contained different moods. As they constantly transformed, not only was his body in pain, even Tang San’s soul seemed to be torn in two.

  Just as Tang San felt like he was on the verge of collapse, suddenly, a purple light fell from the sky. Before he could react, that purple light had directly merged into his body.

  Instantly, the purple light that was just dulling from the absorption of the purple and golden lights abruptly intensified, and even those red and golden lights were suppressed to delay.

  Tang San also finally had a chance to catch his breath, doing his utmost to urge his mental strength to condense in his mind. At the same time, in this brief instant of control, he immediately smashed the Seagod Trident and Clear Sky Hammer against each other. He vaguely felt that the transformations of his body was related to the two weapons.

  Tang San thought correctly. However, the instant the Clear Sky Hammer and Seagod Trident struck each other, trouble returned again.

  Because the Deep Sea Demon Whale spirit bone joined in, the Deep Sea Demon Whale King’s million year spirit ring energy exploded again, suppressing the golden and red energies, and abruptly rose again as these two weapons clashed.

  Terrifying slaughter energy and vast Seagod sacred energy erupted near simultaneously, and the pitiful Deep Sea Demon Whale King’s powerful energy was instantly suppressed once again. The gold and red clearly weren’t as powerful, but it still didn’t dare resist.

  And at this moment, Tang San also clearly felt an intense power resound in the bones of his chest. His physical attributes quickly rose, and his originally faintly golden internals almost instantly turned completely golden. Moreover, that golden color was quickly spreading, through his veins, flesh, blood, and bones.

  Torso spirit bone? Tang San immediately understood. But he didn’t understand was where this spirit bone came from? He hadn’t summoned it! However, along with this spirit bone joining him, Tang San’s previous pain was also alleviated a lot.

  As if because his resistance rose, even though those cold and hot energies alternated even faster, Tang San felt as if they had weakened a lot.

  However, something that both excited and worried Tang San appeared at this moment. After colliding with the Seagod Trident, the purple energy that originally enveloped the Clear Sky Hammer shattered, exposing an evolved Clear Sky Hammer covered with dense red patterns, brimming with intense killing energy as if a major killing tool.

  But the Seagod Trident hardly took it lying down. The long vanished golden light once again reappeared with the golden light bizarrely emanating from the brand on Tang San’s forehead. The intense divine presence and that intense slaughter presence dazzlingly reflected each other.

  Heavens! Do they want me to split in two? Tang San could understand the Seagod’s energy, but what was this red energy! The energy equally appeared within him, so why did the Seagod’s energy want to reject it so? Perhaps it should be said that they were rejecting each other as if fighting for control over the six, no, now it was seven spirit bones within him.

  Right now Tang San very much wanted to say You go ahead and fight, but can’t you put me unconscious first, and wake me up once you’re done?

  But this was in fact clearly impossible. Even though he was in pain, Tang San was also exceptionally clear-headed. So much so that it even made up for his exhaustion in his battle with the Deep Sea Demon Whale King. As both sides constantly clashed, Tang San gradually discovered that the changes in his body were also growing more and more distinct. Everything inside him had turned pure golden, not only covered by light, but golden all the way through, deep inside. This meant that his body had already reached the god level.

  Tang San had once carefully considered the circumstances of Qian Renxue’s body. He knew the gold represented the god level, when Qian Renxue used her greatest strength, her skin once turned pure golden. That should probably only appear for a true god. Through absorbing this spirit ring and spirit bone, regardless of the meaning of the two fighting colors, at least his body had still changed. Their battle would always have results, he just hoped this result wouldn’t be too bad. To him, the worst result was both taking half of his body. If that really happened, Tang San feared he would have nowhere to cry.

  Facts proved that luck was always on his side. As time passed, Tang San discovered through the stronger and stronger pain that it was still his Seagod’s power that held the advantage. First of all, the Seagod Trident brand held the most important spot on his forehead, and while that rid light wanted to force its way in to control the head spirit bone a few times, it was forced back without results. Second, even though the Seagod Trident had lost the Seagod’s Heart, it was after all a former divine weapon, and the Clear Sky Hammer’s red light had changed after the red light poured inside, and the gap between the two led to a difference in level.

  The main battleground of the two colors was the Deep Sea Demon Whale torso spirit bone that had just fused with Tang San’s body, as well as the external spirit bone Eight Spider Lances. The golden color representing the Seagod energy was bit by bit gaining the advantage, and moreover expanding.

  That the Seagod energy could obtain such a result made Tang San sigh in relief. Even though he had long ago guessed the final victor should be the golden Seagod, but this battle went on inside his body, how could he help worrying. Tang San of course had a basis for his estimate, absolutely don’t forget that he was now submerged in the ocean. And this ocean was basically the Seagod’s domain. Here, that red light would clearly have a very hard time fighting the Seagod.

  Even Tang San himself had no idea how much time had passed when that red light was finally forced back to Tang San’s left arm. The purple light filling his body had also gradually disappeared. As the gold and red fought, the Deep Sea Demon Whale King’s spirit ring energy had been completely absorbed by Tang San’s body. Even though Tang San didn’t understand
what those two lights did to his body while absorbing the Deep Sea Demon Whale King spirit ring, in the end he still successfully finished this crucial step.

  Unfortunately, even though the Seagod energy was powerful, after that red light was restrained to Tang San’s left arm, it couldn’t be expelled further. With Tang San’s shoulder as boundary, the Seagod energy occupied the majority, but that red light was still entrentched in Tang San’s arm. No matter what it didn’t agree to be removed.

  The two sides, as clearly separated as the rivers Jing and Wei, stopped fighting as the Deep Sea Demon Whale King spirit ring energy disappeared. Clearly, they definitely weren’t willing to use their own pure energy to struggle with each other. Just like two extremely cunning enemies. And the unlucky party was that Deep Sea Demon Whale King spirit ring.

  Finally over…… Tang San inwardly exhaled, he would rather fight the Deep Sea Demon Whale King again than to experience such torture.

  In both his hands, the Seagod Trident’s golden light gradually waned, but the Clear Sky Hammer’s red pattern showed no sign of disappearing, the red light on the surface only dulled a bit. And on that Clear Sky Hammer, another spirit ring had appeared, a spirit ring that shocked Tang San.

  The spirit ring appeared pure gold, like Qian Renxue’s last spirit ring. The difference was that it didn’t have the intense divine presence that Qian Renxue’s tenth spirit ring did. But in its place was a deep and immeasurable murderous intent.

  This? Was it a million year level spirit ring, or a god level spirit ring? Tang San had no answer. But no matter what, this thing was definitely stronger than a hundred thousand year spirit ring. Moreover, it also shouldn’t be the original Deep Sea Demon Whale King’s million year spirit ring he tried to absorb, because it contained the red energy of the variant Deathgod Domain. Just how powerful it was would have to be tested in actual combat.

  Just at this moment, a familiar voice resounded in Tang San’s mind,

  “Seagod’s eighth trial, Perfect, Seagod set, pass. Reward, Seagod affinity up thirty percent, overall affinity ninety nine percent.”

  Hearing this voice, Tang San couldn’t help scowling. When he completed the seventh trial, Draw, Divine Instrument, Seagod Trident, hisSeagod affinity had already reached eighty five percent. But this eighth trial still have thirty percent affinity. By reason he should be at one hundred fifteen percent affinity. Even if the Seagod affinity could only go up to one hundred percent, he should still be at that highest one hundred.

  Seagod Douluo Bo Saixi once told him that when his Seagod affinity reached one hundred percent, he would be Seagod. And when he accepted the last trial, before inheriting the Seagod, the higher this affinity was, the easier the inheritance would be.

  Could it be that his Seagod affinity hadn’t reached one hundred percent because he still hadn’t accepted the final trial? No, shouldn’t be. Lowering his head to look at the Seagod Trident in his hand, Tang San suddenly understood why his Seagod affinity wasn’t completed with this eighth trial. Because the Seagod’s Heart was broken. When he inherited the Seagod, there might be some variables because of the Seagod’s Heart breaking.

  Nevermind, this eighth trial was already over anyway. As for the circumstances of the Seagod’s ninth trial and final inheritance, it would wait until they were back on the Seagod Island and talked to Seagod Douluo Bo Saixi again. Besides, his great grandfather was also on Seagod Island, and he would definitely help him.

  The Blue Silver Emperor right leg bone’s flying ability started, and at the same time Tang San withdrew the Clear Sky Hammer, lightening the Seagod Tridents weight, and using his boyancy to swiftly rise towards the surface of the sea. As he ascended, he began to inspect his spirit power. Tang San was shocked to discover that the Deep Sea Demon Whale King was worthy of being a million year spirit beast. Absorbing his spirit bone had vital benefits.

  First nevermind the attribute changes to his body, just the spirit power increase was an enormous surprise. His spirit power had not only broken the rank ninety seven bottleneck, but moreover broken two ranks in succession, rising straight to peak exceptional Douluo rank ninety nine. Calculating the doubling spirit power increase, it made Tang San confident in even fighting Qian Renxue again.

  Actually, what Tang San didn’t know was that the reason his spirit power had risen so much wasn’t only the benefits of the Deep Sea Demon Whale King spirit ring and spirit bone. In fact, after his spirit power reached rank ninety five, increasing each rank was extremely difficult, and while the Deep Sea Demon Whale King’s spirit ring and spirit bone contained enormous energy, it could at most help him rise to rank ninety eight. The reason why he broke through rank ninety nine was because of that close to intolerable pain. The battle between the Seagod’s gold and the variant Deathgod Domain’s red inside his body had imperceptibly also brought enormous advantages to his body. That god level clash squeezed and stimulated his spirit power, and adding the perfect combination of his now god level body and the released energy, this had pushed his spirit power to the limit of humanity, rank ninety nine.

  “Ge succeeded.”

  On the surface, Xiao Wu yelled with excitement. They had already waited for a full seven days. Even though everyone had been relieved when the Deep Sea Demon Whale King torso spirit bone was sucked into the sea before, a seven day wait like this was definitely painful. Even Xiao Bai had submerged in the sea several times, but not discovered any traces of Tang San. She only seemed to feel a deeply terrifying presence pulse throughout the sea.

  Now, that red brand on Xiao Wu’s forehead flashed with dazzling radiance, and in her mind also echoed that long missing voice,

  “Accompanying the Seagod’s eighth trial, complete, reward superpositioned.”

  Just as Xiao Wu’s words fell, and before anyone had reacted, with a splashing sound, a line of golden light shot towards the sky. Grasping the Seagod Trident, Tang San had broken out of the water. The clothing he wore before was missing, and the surface of the skin rippled with intense golden light.

  Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing quickly turned away, and even though Xiao Wu was equally shy, seeing her man finally return made excitement win out over embarrassment. She shouted excitedly:

  “Ge, we’re here.”

  Oscar grinned:

  “Little San, you’re streaking.”

  Tang San then noticed his circumstances and quickly pulled out a robe from the Twenty Four Moonlit Bridges to wear. No matter how his clothes were damaged, he absolutely wouldn’t lose the Twenty Four Moonlit Bridges and the Wishful Hundred Treasures Purse hanging from it.

  Floating down, Tang San’s gaze turned to his comrades, forcefully swinging his fist above his head,

  “The eighth trial is passed, all that remains is the last Seagod trial.”

  Dai Mubai smiled,

  “Then what are we still waiting for? Let’s start out immediately.”

  “No, of course we wait. Tang San, did you forget what I told you?”

  Xiao Bai spoke up to stop them. Under the effect of her energy, the Deep Sea Demon Whale King’s already putrefying body was supported in the seawater, exposing its enormous head.
