Soul Land V: Rebirth of Tang San

Pretty Girl's speed was extremely fast, her figure flickering, as more sword lights poured from the Heavenly Mechanism Feather, attacking Mengte Te relentlessly. And Mengte Te, his Long Knife in hand, defended like a closed dam gate, not counterattacking, but guarding his surroundings so tightly that not a drop could get through.

The power of darkness clashed violently with the space elements, and for a moment, their battle escalated to a fever pitch.

Even the two Great Demon King Level referees were unable to intervene now. There was simply no way to do so.

The current scene was such that the area outside the competition platform was completely enveloped in darkness, a world of the Dark Domain. But within this Dark Domain, there was a peculiar circle of silver, a zone with not a trace of darkness element inside, where the two sides collided and fought incessantly.

Tang San and Mengte Shi were like they had turned invisible, each hiding behind Pretty Girl and Mengte Te, purely assisting.

Pretty Girl's sword lights grew increasingly fierce; Mengte Te was pressured to keep retreating, as the Heavenly Mechanism Feather's edge continually sliced through his Knife's light. Deep purple dragon scales began to surface on Mengte Te's skin to resist those sharp space cuts.

But the surrounding Dark Domain was also compressing inward, shrinking the space of the inner battle.

Nobody could judge the advantage or disadvantage of both sides at this moment; one could only feel the intensity of their collision.

Within Pretty Girl's eyes, silver brilliance flowed, each sword light fiercer than the last.

Finally, it seemed Mengte Te's Knife light could no longer block the sword rays. A streak of silver flashed across, leaving a bloody furrow on his shoulder, the highly defensive dragon scales shattering and curling under the fierce Space Cutting.

But at the same time, the surrounding space power shattered, and a great deal of the power of darkness surged inward.

The silver light in the eyes of Pretty Girl condensed, a circle of silver brilliance burst forth behind her, transforming into a halo of silver that enveloped her and Tang San's figures. Before the swarming power of darkness could Devour them, they vanished once more into thin air.

The Dark Domain retracted, the silver brilliance on the other side propped open anew, fending off the invasion of darkness, sustaining a corner on the platform no larger than a tenth of the area.

The first collision between the two sides ended. To all appearances, Mengte Te was injured.

A purple-black halo flowed over the wound, devouring the invading space power, and Mengte Te's gaze grew serious.

His eyes narrowed slightly, his Black Long Knife pointing diagonally to the ground, as a series of dragon roars echoed, those deep roars seemingly from the depths of hell, shaking one's heart.

Behind Pretty Girl, a massive shadow of a Peacock appeared, a resplendent silver Peacock with a head held high in pride. Pretty Girl slowly raised the Heavenly Mechanism Feather in her hand; within the three feather eyes, three dazzling silver lights shot to the sky, entering the body of the silver Peacock.

In an instant, the silver Peacock's body lit up with a brilliant glow, its feathers fanned out at once, countless silver light swirling around, turning into specks of silver stars.

Mengte Te clutched his Long Knife with both hands, and Mengte Shi, in a swift motion, revealed his true form, becoming a black Dragon over ten meters in length, lowering his head to lift his body.

All the power of darkness instantly converged on that Black Long Knife, just like a scene sucking in water. A purple-black light blade, a hundred meters long, began to accumulate, as if darkening the entire sky.

After the initial tentative clashes, both sides were finally ready to unleash their big moves. This also showcased the powerful bloodline power of both parties.

The expressions of the two great demon kings standing on either side of the arena were somewhat strange at this moment. Was this a confrontation below deity level? Even a god-level strong wouldn't be able to deliver such a performance in a competition, right? Although none of the four contestants had reached a divine-ranked cultivation base, the combat power and bloodline abilities they displayed at this moment were akin to those that could only be wielded by those beyond deity level!

Mengte Te was somewhat understandable, having been the darling of the Dragon Clan since childhood, and the most beloved grandson of the Dark Demon Great Demon Emperor. He had shown exceptional talent from a very young age, making rapid progress, and had been hailed as the successor of the Dragon Clan.

But how could this girl from the Peacock Demon Clan from Jiali City, a place where not even the Great Demon Emperor existed anymore, be so powerful? She should still have human blood in her veins. Yet she managed to make Mengte Te take a competition seriously for the first time, going all out to respond. Just this point alone put her above the other contestants.

In previous matches, Pretty Girl had not demonstrated such strength either. At this moment, at least so far, it seemed she even had a slight advantage since she had just managed to injure Mengte Te.

"Roar—" The deep dragon roar suddenly rose in pitch as a massive wave of blade light descended from the sky, as if to ignite the entire void in darkness, and ferociously fell towards Pretty Girl's head.

No one doubted that if this strike landed on the stage, it would split the entire battle platform in two. The audience directly in the path of that terrifying blade light was even starting to panic and jump up, fearing that if the blade light went beyond the stage, it would reach them.

Both great demon king referees exerted their strength simultaneously, manifesting formidable power that turned into barriers, fortifying the area around and above the platform. Even beings at their level felt slightly threatened by this strike.

But just then, the specks of silver light emanating from the feathers of the silver peacock suddenly became unbearably brilliant. In the next instant, the entire platform appeared to blur, even giving onlookers a sense of the world spinning.

The terrifying blade light astonishingly reversed in midair, changing from slashing towards Pretty Girl to cutting through empty space instead.

The massive black blade light vanished in an instant, leaving behind a stupendous streak of darkness in the sky.

Peacock Demon Clan's inherited divine technique, Heaven Shifting Star Shift!

Indeed, with Tang San's support, Pretty Girl used this magical skill for the first time in its true sense. This was a magical skill that could only be employed by the Peacock Demon Clan beyond deity level with exceptional talent and the Peacock Golden Crown.

Back then, when the Crystal Phoenix Demon Emperor overwhelmed Jiali City with the strength of a Demon Emperor, it was the Great Peacock Demon King, utilizing the accumulated luck and heritage of Jiali City, who repeatedly blocked attacks with Heaven Shifting Star Shift, resulting in mutual destruction and forcing the Crystal Phoenix Demon Emperor to retreat.

The Heaven Shifting Star Shift used by Pretty Girl might not be as powerful in force as the one used by the Great Peacock Demon King back then, but in terms of effect, it had already grasped the essence of Heaven Shifting Star Shift.

Feeling the changes in the rotation of space, Pretty Girl's eyes became brighter. Her heart was filled with pride and gratitude; pride for herself and gratitude for the one behind her.

Without his full support in amplifying her bloodline and Spiritual Power, she would have been unable to use Heaven Shifting Star Shift. Having truly used the technique deepened her understanding of this divine skill instantaneously. As a divine skill of the Peacock Demon Clan, once she truly grasped it, she would be able to become one of the powerhouse figures among those at the Demon King Level, paving a smooth path towards advancing to the Great Demon King Level.

"Heaven Shifting Star Shift? This is Heaven Shifting Star Shift! The Peacock Demon Clan's supreme divine skill. Back when the Great Peacock Demon King was still alive, it was said that Heaven Shifting Star Shift could reflect any attack. Extremely powerful. I never thought I'd see Heaven Shifting Star Shift make an appearance again at the Ancestral Court Elite Tournament. This is simply…"

When Heaven Shifting Star Shift appeared, even the VIP seats were shocked. The Peacock Demon King was somewhat dazed at the moment, for even it had never imagined Pretty Girl could execute Heaven Shifting Star Shift at her current level of cultivation. This was not merely baffling, but utterly shocking.
