Soul Land V: Rebirth of Tang San-Chapter 1082 - 1079: Tang San VS Xu Anyu

The originally translucent pale blue suddenly transformed into gold-red. A magnificent blazing sun abruptly appeared behind Tang San, enveloping his entire body in scorching Yang energy. The Holy Dragon Spear in his hand instantly turned gold-red as well, colliding fiercely with Xu Anyu’s Dragon Lance.

"Clang!" Amidst the crisp sound, two enormous dragons crossed paths, and the air around them warped dramatically.

A blazing pillar of grand sunlight erupted in the sky, engulfing Xu Anyu in mere moments.

Surrounding the blazing sun, faint petal-like patterns appeared, with the core being the blazing sun itself.

Could this be...

The Tianyang Flower!

The Tianyang Flower, exclusive to the Tianyang Spirit King!

Crystal Great Demon Emperor, innate replication!

The gold-red Crystal Dragon soared far away, with its red hue gradually fading, transforming into pure gold. An enormous Tianyang Flower suspended itself behind Tang San, entirely altering his attributes under the support of immense life force.

Is this even possible?

If not for knowing the replication ability of the Crystal Great Demon Emperor, the Tianyang Spirit King might have thought he had an illegitimate child somewhere. Yet, could it be that Jin Miaolin has truly inherited the replication ability of the Crystal Great Demon Emperor? If this is the case, wouldn’t it mean the emergence of another top-tier being comparable to the Crystal Great Demon Emperor?

Though it appeared as though he had merely used a bloodline replication ability, it was enough to astonish everyone. Could this still be the "weak" Blue Golden Tree Clan?

The Holy Radiant Dragon being bombarded by the Yang energy surged with golden light as it broke free from the searing energy. Its luminous golden radiance continued unabated, showing no visible changes on the surface. But Xu Anyu’s eyes were still filled with shock.

Replication—he’s truly inherited the Crystal Princess’s replication ability!

The Crystal Dragon turned once again, and with a point of Tang San’s Dragon Lance, the Tianyang Flower radiated brilliantly once more. A massive pillar of pure Yang flames blasted forward—unyielding and fierce!

Xu Anyu swiftly raised his Dragon Lance high. A platinum-colored light barrier emerged, bolstered by his dual-core synchronization. His Light attribute was unfathomably powerful now. Despite quivering violently under the impact of the Yang flame pillar, the barrier managed to hold firm.

"Roar—!" The Holy Radiant Dragon unleashed a resounding dragon roar. In the next instant, Xu Anyu erupted with radiant brilliance. His Dragon Lance pointed at Tang San, and the skies reverberated with countless dragon calls.

Giant dragons formed from concentrated Light elements appeared from all directions around Tang San, charging at him.

Domain Activation! Light Dragon Realm!

In that moment, Tang San faced what seemed like an army of Light Dragons.

Raising the Black Tortoise Shield in his hand, Tang San prepared himself. Beneath him, the Crystal Dragon shifted from gold to blue, with rippling waves of blue radiance. Shortly after, the blue transformed into black—not the black of Dark attributes, but the black of Endless Water.

A massive phantom of a great tortoise materialized around him, encompassing both him and the Crystal Dragon beneath in its colossal frame.

As the countless Light dragons struck, they vanished without a trace upon colliding with the black tortoise phantom.

Black Tortoise Shield! Endless Water.

At this moment, Jingjing replicated the attributes of the Endless Spirit King.

How is this even possible?

Though the Light Dragon Realm boasted immense offensive power, Tang San’s defenses were utterly impenetrable.

The clash between both sides made even the Emperor-level figures watching furrow their brows in gravity. This battle already encroached upon the Emperor Level, and the sky became dazzlingly resplendent.

The spectators watched in stunned silence, their mouths agape. None had anticipated that the most brilliant battle of the Tournament for the Emperor Title would unfold at this very moment.

Even the expressions of all emperors watching subtly shifted, especially toward Tang San.

It was the inheritance of the Crystal Great Demon Emperor! The emperors still vividly remembered Tang San’s earlier moment of gaining recognition from all the Emperor Sky Pillars. Back then, their assessment was that Tang San had received Emperor inheritance primarily because of his potent life force rather than any bloodline guidance. By that logic, his inheritance should’ve had its limits. But who could have foreseen that he’d replicate the powers of the Crystal Great Demon Emperor, even manifesting its body and utilizing its replication abilities?

At this point, it was blatantly clear—whether it was Tang San or Xu Anyu, once either of them ascended to emperor status, they wouldn’t be ordinary Emperors. It wasn’t even certain if there’d be room for a third Emperor.

Thus, this particular match carried immense importance. In the double-elimination format of the Tournament for the Emperor Title, Pretty Girl had already secured the second-place position. Consequently, the loser of this battle would end up third. If the top two positions claimed excessive planar power during ascension, the third place contender might be unable to become an Emperor at all.

The once-assumed guaranteed three Quasi-Emperors now seemed anything but secure.

This Jin Miaolin—he’d truly kept his cards hidden deep! Only now had he begun to reveal his hand.

Two colossal dragons coiled and clashed in the air. Tang San showcased his divine prowess by wielding the Endless Spirit King’s water attributes. The synergy between the Black Tortoise Shield’s inherent water properties and the Endless Water from the Endless Spirit King augmented its might greatly. The black shield in Tang San’s hand alternately expanded and contracted, creating massive black whirlpools midair that devoured Xu Anyu’s Light Dragon King’s relentless assaults. No matter how fierce Xu Anyu’s aggression, Tang San stood unwavering.

Even the Endless Spirit King himself inwardly questioned whether he could achieve what Tang San demonstrated now. That Black Tortoise Shield’s power made him envious.

To avoid revealing the true nature of his bloodline, Tang San was genuinely employing the Endless Spirit King’s bloodline abilities through replication, fully utilizing the Crystal Great Demon Emperor’s innate replication talent—not merely feigning the act. With so many Emperor-level figures present, who were intimately familiar with the Crystal Great Demon Emperor, this approach was the only plausible explanation. Before attaining emperor status, none of Tang San’s super bloodline traits would be disclosed under any circumstance.

Xu Anyu grew increasingly uneasy as the battle progressed. Never had he imagined that the water attribute could thwart him like this. Yet those sky-born whirlpools continuously devoured his Light elements.

Touching upon the Emperor Level, both combatants had begun to perceive the forces of rule-bound laws. Xu Anyu himself possessed dual cores, amplified further by the Light Elemental Spirit. Prior to the tournament, he firmly believed there was no opponent capable of matching him in the Tournament for the Emperor Title—his confidence was the very reason behind surrendering twice against Tang San earlier. If a slim opportunity for improving his rank arose, it was one he felt certain he could seize. Yet unexpectedly, before this seemingly less-threatening opponent, he’d stumbled upon an immovable wall.

Tang San appeared unhurried, endlessly conjuring whirlpools through his Black Tortoise Shield. Each whirlpool not only surged with water elements but also exuded tremendous suction force. At Xu Anyu’s current power level, he was continuously drawn toward them. Each pull threw off his rhythm, causing his attacks to lose fluidity.

Unfazed, Tang San persistently manipulated the Black Tortoise Shield, whose surface whirlpools grew increasingly solid. The water elements in the skies became more and more concentrated around him.

For Tang San, defeating Xu Anyu wasn’t the challenging part; ensuring none of the present Emperor figures could discern his true capabilities required meticulous effort.

Xu Anyu had the Light Elemental Spirit; Tang San wielded the Tree Ancestor Brand. Both were exceptionally adept at prolonged battles. Yet Tang San remained patient. As he deflected Xu Anyu’s strikes repeatedly using the Black Tortoise Shield, he occasionally thrust the Holy Dragon Spear forward—though, strangely, this often seemed to enhance Xu Anyu’s Light attributes temporarily, as if aiding his cultivation base.
