Soul Land 5: The Rebirth of Tang San-Chapter 891: Its All Part of the Plan

The Indestructible Adamant Nymph Emperor was by far not the strongest among the Nymph Emperors, in spite of its unrivaled defense, and its cultivation was relatively lower. At the same time, his essence was of the earth attribute, the most stable of all elements. If it had been fire-attribute, Tang San's body would not have been able to bear such a bloodline power.

Additionally, the vast life energy given to him by the Ancestral Tree nourished his body to the core. The month Tang San spent cultivating in Skytree City had been immensely significant, repairing the flaws in his body and healing the injuries from his tribulation. At the same time, it allowed him to accumulate an enormous amount of life force, expanding his longevity and resilience by countless times.

Even so, controlling and stabilizing the bloodline power of an Emperor was still incredibly taxing for him. He had to rely on the Golden Fiend energy he had gained from Mei Gongzi's tribulation, combined with the annihilation energy from his own Nine Heavens Ten Earths Divine Extinguishing Tribulation, and even then, he barely managed to seal this power.

His pale complexion was indeed real, but his exhaustion was not due to the fight. Rather, it was because sealing and bearing this Emperor's bloodline imprint was ridiculously strenuous!

As Tang San now found out first-hand, an Emperor was indeed a being of a different level. He could have easily given up part of the bloodline power, making it much easier to bear. However, he had decided to take the risk in order to obtain the entirety of it. With this intact essence, he could ensure that when he became an Emperor in the future, he could immediately get a twelfth-order transcendent bloodline, securing his place among the top Emperors. So, no matter how taxing it was, as long as his body didn't collapse, he would persevere and seal this hard-earned, immense power within himself, to be absorbed gradually in the future.

But even with his powerful divine consciousness, the assistance from his divine seat, the many bloodline powers within his body, the protection of his chaos energy, and the support of his fortune from the Polar Luck Domain, it took him an entire day to gradually suppress the aura of the Adamant Nymph Emperor's bloodline within his body. It was truly a thrilling ordeal.

However, at this moment, Tang San also discovered an even greater ability of the Polar Luck Domain than before.

As an Emperor, the Indestructible Adamant Nymph Emperor's death undoubtedly resulted in immense misfortune. So immense, in fact, that the eruption of this misfortune was bound to trigger a change in the fortune of the entire plane. But at the same time... the more misfortune there was, the greater the corresponding fortune!

If the Celestial Fox Demon Emperor had been present, Tang San wouldn't have had any chance at all. The Celestial Fox Demon Emperor would have undoubtedly seized this fortune for himself and the entire Celestial Fox clan without hesitation.

But now, the Celestial Fox Demon Emperor was far away in the Ancestral Court. Although he was undoubtedly able to sense it and would inevitably take action, Tang San was right here, and he could do what he had to do before the Celestial Fox Demon Emperor could even react. The first thing he did was, of course, to unceremoniously draw this fortune to himself through the Polar Luck Domain. After suppressing the Adamant Nymph Emperor's bloodline, his Discerning Eye of Heaven finally advanced to the eleventh order. This breakthrough also led to a full-scale evolution of the Polar Luck Domain, and with the boost in fortune, the Adamant Nymph Emperor's bloodline imprint was sealed even more securely.

The bloody rainstorm over Adamant City disappeared in the meantime. Once it was gone, the skies cleared, but the citizens of Adamant City saw none of that; their hearts were shrouded in a thick cloud of gloom.

Adamant City's guardian, a powerhouse of his generation, had fallen just like that. It was as if the city's very foundation had been shattered. All mineral-type nymphs in Adamant City had become like rootless duckweed, no longer protected by a powerful Emperor. And the one responsible for all of this was none other than the Ancestral Tree, one of the Three Ancestors. This terrifying being had even stripped away thirty percent of the city's life energy, scattering it into the heavens and earth.

There was no doubt: The decline of Adamant City was irreversible. At least for a long time, until another Emperor emerged, mineral-type nymphs would be so oppressed that they couldn't raise their heads. This made it even harder for them to bear, as they were already at a disadvantage in the Solstice Empire compared to plant-type nymphs.

As for the instigators... The thirteen powerhouses of the Blue Gold Tree clan remained in the center of Adamant City, showing no signs of leaving. No matter how much resentment burned in the hearts of Adamant City's higher-ups, led by Jin Chengwu, they were utterly helpless. With a third of their life energy stripped away, they didn't dare entertain even the slightest thought of struggling. If even the Indestructible Adamant Nymph Emperor had fallen, what power did they have to resist?

A faint smile appeared on Tang San's face as his pale complexion gradually returned to normal. The other elders did not enter meditation; instead, they stood guard around him, fearing that he might suffer harm.

Now that they had witnessed Tang San personally slay the not-so-indestructible Adamant Nymph Emperor, in their hearts, he had already become an uncrowned Emperor. They were fully certain that the Blue Gold Tree clan was finally going to rise, under the leadership of this new clan leader, basking in the glory of the Ancestral Tree.

The Blue Gold Tree clan had risen, and from now on, no one would dare to poach their clan members. As reality proved, not even Emperors could protect the poachers.

The death of an Emperor was undoubtedly the best way to establish dominance. They were absolutely certain that it wouldn't be long before all the scattered members of the Blue Gold Tree clan would be returned. Any main city that dared to continue imprisoning Blue Gold Trees would have to prepare to face the Ancestral Tree's wrath, and since even the Adamant Nymph Emperor was unable to protect itself in front of the tree's power, then others were likely even less capable.

When Tang San decided to challenge the Adamant Nymph Emperor, they found it unbelievable—unquestionably heroic and undoubtedly foolish. But once he succeeded, the elders of the Blue Gold Tree clan realized that everything had changed, as if the sun had risen from the west. From this moment onward, the future of the Blue Gold Tree clan was bright.

Sensing that Tang San had opened his eyes, the twelve elders of the Blue Gold Tree clan immediately turned their gazes toward him.

Jin Miaosen moved closer and asked softly, "Big Brother, are you hurt?"

At that moment, her heart was full of pride. To have such an older brother, she was utterly filled with excitement!

Tang San smiled and shook his head, saying, "I'm fine, everything is stable now. Let's return to Skytree City first."

"Alright, alright." Jin Miaosen nodded repeatedly.

Tang San raised his head to glance at the sky. He roughly gauged how long he had been meditating through the Spacetime Lighthouse. By now, the upper echelons of the Solstice Empire, and likely even the Ancestral Court, were likely in utter chaos over the death of the Adamant Nymph Emperor.

In under a year, this was already the second Emperor to fall. Although the loss in the Solstice Empire couldn't compare to the Empyrean Dominion's loss of the Crystal Demon Emperor, the death of an Emperor was still a significant blow. But so what? He stood on the side of justice. Moreover, even in the view of the Soul Capturing Nymph Emperor, it wasn't really Tang San who had killed the Indestructible Adamant Nymph Emperor—it was the Ancestral Tree!

He needed to head back for now. Although he had somehow managed to seal the new bloodline imprint, it was still not entirely stable. He couldn't engage in combat for now. If his strength faltered, the terrifying energy of the bloodline imprint could easily break through the seal. He had to go into secluded cultivation for a while, absorbing part of the energy into his existing bloodline imprints to reduce the sealed amount. That way, it would be much easier for him to preserve it long-term.

Thirteen figures soared into the sky. Without saying a word to the powerhouses of the Adamant Nymph clan, Tang San led the elders of the Blue Gold Tree clan away from Adamant City.
