Soul Land V: Rebirth of Tang San

"Even so," the Crystal Phoenix Demon Emperor said coldly, "if her talent were not so exceptional, I might spare her for Su Qin's sake. But if her talent is too great, do you think I would nurture a tiger to court disaster? Do you really believe that I wouldn't lay a hand on her just because she has the White Tiger Great Demon Emperor's bloodline? You're only having her use the White Tiger bloodline to threaten me. It's useless; the White Tiger Great Demon Emperor won't interfere with the affairs of Jiali City either. That's a consensus of the Ancestral Court."

The Peacock Demon King replied coldly, "Then come at me. You will soon understand why I have chosen her as my successor; why, despite knowing she is a threat, you are utterly powerless. Do you really think you can win?"

The Crystal Phoenix Demon Emperor paused, clearly not expecting the Peacock Demon King to respond this way. "I don't know where your confidence comes from, but we shall see. First, pray that your daughter will win today's match. Or perhaps, you should pray for her to lose. If she does, I might still spare her."

The Peacock Demon King's eyes flickered but said nothing further, his attention wholly fixed on the competition stage.

With the referee's signal for the match to begin, today's absolute highlight commenced.

On one side of the competition stage, the Mente Brother and Sister simultaneously radiated deep purple halos, a pure domain of darkness. Mengte Shi also possessed this domain; when they deployed it together, their respective domains complemented each other. The deep purple light surged forth like a flood, spreading forward and thickening the air it passed through, driving away and corroding all elements present in the atmosphere.

On the other side, Tang San stepped out to stand behind Pretty Girl, placing his right hand on her back. Pretty Girl felt a rich and gentle power pour into her body; the bloodline power inside her surged instantaneously. She seemed to have entered once again the level she had previously attained, this time with a significantly greater enhancement.

She could sense the regions far away being eroded by darkness, the cries of space elements, and also feel the vast presence of expansive space.

The Heavenly Mechanism Feather in her hand trembled in the air; the three feather eyes emitted a soft silver glow, and all the space elements around her swarmed towards her.

The enhancement Tang San provided her was not only through bloodline; it also came through spirit. She felt as if she had fused with Tang San behind her, that previous sense of intimacy now deeper and more poignant. It was as if she was immersed in a warm embrace that was elevating her.

Every sliver of anxiety, fear, and other negative emotions were swept away at this moment, leaving only a profound sense of strength from within.

The Sea of Spirit expanded, its central point radiating crystalline light. Behind her point of spiritual crystallization, there seemed to be an even larger crystal serving as a backdrop, continuously pouring a vast amount of spiritual power into her.

In the eyes of the spectators, Tang San had seemingly vanished into the shadows behind Pretty Girl. She was enveloped in brilliant silver light, the dazzling radiance even expanding outward as streaks of silver. Under the envelope of this silver brilliance, she appeared to become sanctified. The radiant silver light lit up a vast expanse around her, causing slight distortions in the previously calm space. And these distortions fended off the dark invasion from the opposite side, resisting the advance of the Dark Domain across the midline.

Space elements collided fiercely with darkness elements. Pretty Girl was even able to barely fend off the attack with a force that wasn't even a domain. Although the darkness element was still advancing slowly, its initial overwhelming momentum was significantly curtailed.

Pretty Girl's forehead shone brilliantly with the Peacock Golden Crown, which had almost instantly metamorphosed into a dazzling platinum color, featuring even more intricate patterns that nearly covered her entire forehead. Her eyes, once a peacock blue, were now infused with shimmering silver light. Her delicate body rose gently into the air, and the Heavenly Mechanism Feather in her hand served as a wand, drawing massive amounts of space elements toward her.

The entire competition arena seemed as if it were split in two at that moment, one side a profound dark purple, the other a brilliant silver. The two grand elements clashed against each other, creating a strange sense of mutual suppression and a spectacular sight to behold. The five-hundred-meter radius of the competition stage resembled a border between two worlds, demonstrating the formidable power of both parties. This was surely not the display of mere Ninth Stage—it was, without a doubt, a touch of the God Rank, and not an ordinary one at that.

Mente Te and Mengte Shi were also suspended in the air, faint purple patterns rippling from the corners of Mente Te's eyes. With a slow forward stroke of his right hand, a surge of dark energy burst forth like a torrential tide, breaking through the middle and charging toward the opposing silver light.

In the confrontation, it was clear to feel that the opponent was strong, but it wasn't the power of a Domain, merely the control of elements. The distinction was significant, for the Domain itself could elevate the elements. As the Son of Darkness, no one understood the elements more deeply.

The thick darkness elements suddenly rushed into the silver region, causing an indentation in the midst of the pressured silver light. That dark energy, like a giant black dragon, charged through the middle, crashing wildly.

Pretty Girl's eyes shone with resolute silver light as she waved the Heavenly Mechanism Feather in her right hand. What seemed to be vast space power transformed into concentric silver ripples, enveloping the gigantic black energy.

Ring after ring of silver ripples was eroded and vanished in the darkness, but even more ripples appeared continuously, causing the dark power to quietly dissolve within the circular center crafted by the silver ripples, as if it were being devoured like a great dragon.

In the next moment, Pretty Girl's Heavenly Mechanism Feather slashed vertically, and a narrow silver beam appeared before her. The silver beam split open on both sides, revealing a beautifully illuminated silver light door.

A similar light door also appeared elsewhere, right behind Mente Te and Mengte Shi. In an instant, all the silver light dispersed, and the silver figure appeared out of nowhere, carving out a space of silver in a world filled with darkness elements, arriving directly behind the Mente siblings.

Opening the gate! A gate of space was opened within the Dark Domain. The space within isolated the external Dark Domain.

Even Mente Te didn't expect Pretty Girl to make such a move. Feeling the spatial fluctuation behind him, he instantly turned around.

Pretty Girl had already materialized, her Heavenly Mechanism Feather casting a sky full of sword radiance, enveloping both siblings. The vast space power that was originally on the other side of the competition stage gushed forth from the space gate behind her, striking the surroundings of the Dark Domain with frenzy. She forcefully created a space within the Dark Domain, cutting off the connection between the Mente siblings and their own Dark Domain.

This feat could be described as nothing short of magical. The spectators, who were not initially optimistic about Pretty Girl and Tang San, couldn't help but gape in amazement at this maneuver, which demonstrated Pretty Girl's control over space power, seemingly not inferior to Mente Te's mastery of darkness elements. Moreover, she dared to venture so boldly and decisively into the heart of the enemy's Domain to combat.

Faced with this situation, Mente Te did not panic too much. He pulled Mengte Shi behind him with one hand and grasped the void with his right hand, summoning a pitch-black Long Knife. As the knife slashed, a burst of purple-black light erupted, shattering the space-power-filled sword radiance. The Dark Domain, repelled by the space power and relegated to the periphery, surged inward, compelling the space power not to retreat inward but to resist the oppressive Dark Domain from outside.
