Chapter 384

Tang San's gaze was extremely solemn.

As Ilex said, he who is present now is merely a strand of divine sense, and he can no longer connect with his true body.

Although spending some time might allow him to return to his true body, it seems that without defeating Ilex, all of this is idle talk.

In other words, his top priority now is to defeat this opponent from another world.

He took a deep breath, showed a confident smile, and then a golden trident appeared in his hand.

"I see now, I understand. I admit you are indeed formidable, but this merely prolongs death a little. Now we both have only a strand of divine sense, but I am the divine sense of a god king, whereas you were still merely human in life. What do you have to compare with me?"

"It seems you weren't really listening to what I just said."

Ilex smiled and said, "Instead, I want to ask you: after merely obtaining powerful strength from others and then ceasing to develop new techniques, relying solely on the shade left by your predecessors, how can you oppose me?"

"!"

A flash of anger rose between Tang San's brows, and he lowly shouted:

"Rongrong, assist me!"

"Yes, Third Brother!"

Upon hearing his command, Ning Rongrong's palm instantly manifested a delicate, exquisite nine-story treasure pagoda.

Seeing her action, Ning Tian's gaze instantly became dazed.

There's no mistake; this is truly the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda that their clan has sought for ten thousand years. At this moment, Ning Rongrong's action has completely confirmed her identity.

As streams of light shot from the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, Tang San's aura surged instantly.

Eight wings fully unfurled from his back, and azure-gold light began to envelop the entire Heaven-Earth Love-Seeking Valley.

"Oh dear, are you in a hurry?"

Ilex gave a cold smile, and immediately countless pure white soul power surged violently, colliding with the azure-gold aura.

The terrifying force of the collision even made some of the Shrek Academy members unsteady on their feet; Tang Ya supported Bei Bei, her face slightly pale as she asked:

"Bei Bei, what's happening? Why is Wulin fighting Tang San's ancestor? And why has his voice become like that?"

Bei Bei shook his head with a heavy expression.

"I'm not sure either, but we clearly cannot intervene in this battle. To know the truth, we can only wait until the battle ends and then ask Wulin."

As he said, the intensity of this battle has surpassed what these people can interfere with.

Even though Tang San's divine sense is reduced to a mere thread, it still possesses the power of an Ultimate Douluo, and indeed is an existence whose realm far surpasses that of an ordinary Ultimate Douluo.

Although Ilex's true body does not possess such strength, he is currently forcing the divine artifact's power to activate by relying on the divine sense and divine power of Tang Wulin and Huo Yutong, thereby raising his own power and level to be comparable to Tang San's.

But continuing like this is not feasible; Tang Wulin and Huo Yutong's divine power cannot compare to Tang San's. Right now they are merely overdrafting their power, and in a prolonged battle they would undoubtedly be at a disadvantage.

Tang San also realized this; he did not rush recklessly, but with Ning Rongrong's assistance calmly engaged in a series of attacks and defenses against Ilex.

He is not in a hurry; as long as he drags it out, the one who will first be unable to endure will surely be the opponent.

Once Ilex lacks sufficient divine power to drive the divine artifact, Tang San will be able to win easily.

And Ilex, who knows what he's thinking, keeps driving massive soul power to launch attacks at Tang San, yet he refuses to go all-in.

The scene fell into a stalemate for a moment.

Time passed second by second; suddenly, Tang Wulin's body shuddered violently.

Tang San's heart leapt with joy. Has this kid finally reached his limit?

But the next second, his joy was completely doused by a bucket of cold water.

Because he saw that Tang Wulin's eyes shone with excitement.

What happened? Why would he show such an expression? A sense of fear exploded in his heart, and Tang San's whole body instantly tensed.

Then he saw Tang Wulin raise his gray staff toward the sky; a massive soul torrent instantly condensed to a point, and with the staff's support shot up into the heavens, striking the sun in the sky.

Tang San blinked in astonishment, then his face changed dramatically.

"Oh no!"

Ning Rongrong hurriedly asked, "Third Brother, what's wrong?"

Tang San said urgently:

"We've been deceived; that old man never intended to defeat us—he wants to destroy this secret realm!"

The sun in the Heaven-Earth Love-Seeking Valley is merely a decoration; even without it, the valley's lighting would not be affected in the slightest.

Yet the sun's existence remains crucially important, for its purpose is to use its intense sunlight to conceal the core of the secret realm within the Heaven-Earth Love-Seeking Valley.

As long as the secret realm's core in the Heaven-Earth Love-Seeking Valley remains undiscovered, nothing on the Douluo Continent can destroy it.

The reason Ilex has so far refused to launch a full-force assault is precisely because he wanted to search for the secret realm's core—and now he has found it.

Sensing the tremor from the secret realm's core, Tang San became anxious. Unlike the others present, his and Ning Rongrong's strand of divine sense depends entirely on the existence of the Heaven-Earth Love-Seeking Valley; if the valley is destroyed, their divine sense will likewise vanish completely into nothingness.

The utter destruction of a strand of divine sense is not an injury that even a god king could shrug off lightly.

He urgently told Ning Rongrong, "Rongrong, come, let's together pour divine power into the secret realm's core—quickly!"

While speaking, he raised his trident and shot azure-gold light toward the sun in the sky, blocking Ilex's movements.

Even if he attacked Ilex now, he could not defeat him in a short time; the most important thing at present is still to guard the secret realm's core.

Upon hearing this, Ning Rongrong likewise hurriedly complied, and nine-colored light rose into the sky.

Ilex narrowed his eyes.

Continuing like this won't work; the opponents' combined divine power as two gods exceeds his current divine power.

He must interrupt the opponent's actions.

With a hoarse incantation sounding, a massive gray gate slowly opened behind Tang Wulin.

Immediately afterward, two huge dragon bones flew out forcefully.

At the instant the dragon bones flew out, a red and a blue beam of light shot from Tang Wulin's arms respectively, merging into the dragon bones.

Instantly, the two dragon bones, which already possessed Ultimate Douluo strength, surged in aura and began to sink into the gods.

They let out a huge dragon roar, then lunged violently at their opponent.

"Tsk!"

Tang San, vexed and frustrated, clicked his tongue, stomped his foot hard on the ground, and countless huge blue vines burst from the earth, winding toward the two Dragon Kings.

Blue Silver Domain, myriad phenomena.

By the way, there are still five more updates tonight (end of chapter).
