Chapter 233: The Fall of Tang San, Arrival of the Abyssal Saint King

  In the deeply ingrained beliefs of all abyssal beings, even if they perish in this world, it doesn't matter. Their souls will return to the embrace of the Abyss, and before long, they can be reborn within it.

  However...

  What Qin Xiao is doing right now has completely shattered their understanding.

  After the fall of the Bze Emperor, his soul did not return to the Abyssal Pne but was instead under Qin Xiao's control. This defies everything they knew.

  It's important to understand that they are powerful beings of the Abyss, having conquered more than one pne, yet this is the first time they've encountered such a situation.

  "You... just how strong are you?"

  The Bze Emperor's soul trembled as he spoke.

  The barrier he had always relied on could no longer provide any protection, making him extremely uneasy, his soul trembling in fear.

  "Actually, reaching this level doesn't require immense power. One only needs to reach the level of a Second-Level God. Oh, and having the aid of the pne's will helps..."

  Qin Xiao shrugged, appearing completely nonchant.

  However...

  Both the abyssal beings and the human powerhouses fell silent.

  Isn't a Second-Level God already powerful?

  Then what kind of power counts as truly powerful?

  More importantly, what does that make these abyssal powerhouses who don't even possess a divine position?

  "A Second-Level God... I never expected you to possess the cultivation of a Second-Level God. To be defeated by you... it's not unjust."

  The Bze Emperor had resigned himself to his fate, speaking in a despondent tone.

  Of course, even if he didn't want to accept it, there was no other option. Unless the Saint King descended, who could possibly save him?

  But the Saint King... he didn't even know where the Saint King was or if the Abyssal Saint King had heard his prayers.

  Qin Xiao said no more. He clenched his hand, and the Bze Emperor's soul was struck as if by an invisible hammer, shattering like gss into countless pieces.

  "The Bze Emperor... has fallen!"

  "This is true death, with no possibility of rebirth!"

  "We've waged wars across countless otherworldly realms for so many years, but this is the first time we've suffered such a massive loss!"

  "..."

  The Abyssal Emperors, such as the Spirit Emperor, Demon Emperor, and Scythe Emperor, felt a chill rise from the bottoms of their hearts, spreading up to their skulls.

  It wasn't that they sympathized with the Bze Emperor; they were worried about themselves.

  After all, the Bze Emperor was the warning sign for them.

  Would they be able to escape if it were them?

  The answer was a resounding no.

  "Qin Xiao, you deceived me!"

  At that moment, an earth-shattering roar snapped everyone out of their thoughts.

  Looking over, they saw that it was the Deep Sea Demon Whale King roaring at Qin Xiao.

  Although the Deep Sea Demon Whale King was currently in his true form, everyone felt he resembled a deceived maiden.

  "What did I deceive you about?"

  Qin Xiao raised an eyebrow.

  He muttered to himself, wondering what kind of trouble this guy was stirring up.

  "You are the heir to the Sea God's divine position, which means... you are the new Sea God..."

  "Yes, that's correct."

  "Then why did you say you were the vessel of the pne's will?"

  "That's not wrong either," Qin Xiao asked with an innocent look, "So how did I deceive you?"

  "You... you..." The Deep Sea Demon Whale King stuttered for a long time before finally blurting out, "You didn't even tell me you were the Sea God..."

  "You didn't ask, did you?"

  Deep Sea Demon Whale King: "..."

  He fell silent.

  But inside, his heart was in turmoil.

  Who would have thought that the one who had been helping him all along was actually the heir to his nemesis, the imagined enemy in his mind?

  This gap was simply too much to bear.

  No wonder he was struggling to accept it.

  "Don't dwell on it. Haven't you suffered no losses?"

  "But I..." The Deep Sea Demon Whale King's confidence began to falter.

  "If you still consider me an enemy, that's fine too."

  "To reduce your suffering, I suggest you end your life." Qin Xiao crossed his arms and spoke indifferently.

  He clearly exuded the attitude of "If you disagree, I'll crush you."

  Hearing this, the Deep Sea Demon Whale King shivered.

  Revenge?What a joke. He had just witnessed how the Bze Emperor died with his own eyes.

  Although the Bze Emperor's cultivation was not as strong as his on the Douluo Continent, that didn't mean Qin Xiao had to exert much effort to kill him.

  "I... I..."

  The Deep Sea Demon Whale King stammered for a long time before finally saying, "I never said I was going to take revenge on you... My grudge is with the previous Sea God, not with you. When I ascend to the Divine Realm, I'll settle things with that old guy..."

  Qin Xiao raised an eyebrow, "Then why were you shouting so loudly just now?"

  "I was just curious, asking out of curiosity. Now that it's all cleared up, there's no problem." The Deep Sea Demon Whale King quickly expined.

  "Are you sure it's all cleared up?" Qin Xiao's face showed a satisfied smile.

  "Absolutely certain."

  The Deep Sea Demon Whale King's massive head nodded furiously.

  However, whether it was the humans or the abyssal beings, upon seeing this, they all secretly curled their lips.

  Cowardly, too cowardly.

  You are the mighty ruler of the ocean, a god-level soul beast, can't you have a bit of backbone?

  Don't make us look down on you, okay?

  Yet...

  After the Deep Sea Demon Whale King turned around, his expression changed completely.

  "Scythe Emperor, without anyone else's help, what do you have to fight me with?"

  Scythe Emperor: "You bastard, can't beat Qin Xiao, so you decide to pick on me to vent your frustration, huh?"

  "You really think I'm an easy target?"

  The Scythe Emperor's heart was filled with rage, and he charged at the Deep Sea Demon Whale King, determined to fight to the death.

  However, with just a flick of his tail, the Deep Sea Demon Whale King sent the Scythe Emperor flying back.

  Instantly, the Scythe Emperor calmed down.

  What the Deep Sea Demon Whale King did was right; compared to him, the Scythe Emperor was indeed a pushover.

  Lord Saint King, please hurry and come.

  See how your people are suffering in this world.

  ...

  "Slurp."

  Tang San discreetly swallowed a mouthful of saliva, furrowed his brows, and was about to retreat behind the crowd.

  "Your great revenge is still unavenged, and you want to leave just like that?"

  Qin Xiao's leisurely voice drifted into Tang San's ears.

  "Qin Xiao, don't push me too far."

  "The hatred between us, wasn't it all because of you in the first pce?" Tang San spoke with a stern exterior but a guilty conscience.

  "Because of me?" Qin Xiao suddenly ughed, "When I first arrived at Shrek Academy, I had no interest in getting involved in your messy affairs. As for why it has come to this, shouldn't you be thanking Tang Hao?"

  If it weren't for him trying to use forceful methods against me, maybe we would still be living in peace. In other words, if it weren't for my immense strength, I might not have survived until now."

  That's pretty much how it went.

  When Qin Xiao first arrived at Shrek, he had no intention of targeting them.

  Strengthening himself, surpassing the limits of this world, that was what he had always pursued.

  But things often don't go as pnned. If you don't provoke him, he'll still push you.

  "Enough!" Tang San shouted, "If it weren't for you coveting Xiao Wu's soul bone, how could all of this have happened?"

  "Xiao Wu's soul bone..." Qin Xiao sneered, "You think I care about her soul bone? Even in the end, she sacrificed herself for someone else. I never had any interest in her from the beginning to the end."

  Tang San's entire body shook upon hearing this.

  Xiao Wu, sacrificed herself.

  "You're saying... Xiao Wu has already sacrificed herself?"

  "Oh right, it seems you didn't know about this," Qin Xiao suddenly realized, "This is good news I should share with you."

  As he spoke, he used his divine power to replicate the memory of Xiao Wu's sacrifice, and with a flick of his finger, sent it into Tang San's mind.

  Tang San's eyes immediately became clouded with confusion.

  Scenes of the Star Dou Forest appeared in his mind: Xiao Wu and the Sky Azure Bull Python by the keside, followed by Qin Xiao and Liu Erlong arriving, and then Xiao Wu sacrificing herself to Liu Erlong...

  Crack.

  Tang San felt his heart shatter.

  He never imagined that the person he had longed for day and night was no longer in this world.

  "Qin Xiao, Qin Xiao..."

  "Are you a demon?!"

  "Give me back Xiao Wu!"

  Tang San roared in fury as he charged at Qin Xiao.

  He no longer wanted to run.

  A sense of grim determination filled him, intent on perishing together with Qin Xiao.

  Qin Xiao stood there, a cold smile on his lips, extending his hand as Tang San rushed toward him.

  To him, Tang San was simply courting death.

  After using Guanyin's Tears, Tang San's divine power was almost depleted.

  Even though his hatred was boundless now, his combat strength was weak, like an arrow at the end of its flight.

  Golden and gray divine powers flowed into Qin Xiao's hands. With his left hand, he shattered Tang San's protective divine power with a punch, and with his right hand, he grabbed Tang San by the neck, lifting him up.

  "Ke...ke..."

  Tang San felt as if he was suffocating. He grabbed at Qin Xiao's hand with both of his, his legs kicking in the air.

  At this moment, he no longer appeared as a lofty god, but as an ordinary person without the strength to even truss a chicken.

  "Stop struggling. I'll end your painful life right now."

  Qin Xiao said calmly, "If you're lucky enough to reincarnate, remember to come find me for revenge."

  "You..."

  Tang San was stunned, his eyes wide open, but no words came out of his mouth.

  However, inside, his heart was in turmoil.

  How did Qin Xiao know that I was reborn into this world?

  Unfortunately...

  He was destined to leave this world with that regret.

  The golden and gray streams of energy on Qin Xiao's right hand engulfed Tang San like fmes.

  His skin, flesh, and bones all turned to ashes in succession.

  In the end, only a crimson orb of light remained in Qin Xiao's grasp.

  A divine aura instantly spread throughout the battlefield.

  "A divine position!"

  "After Tang San's death, he left behind the Asura God's position!"

  At this moment, everyone's eyes turned fervent.

  But they also knew that something like a divine position was beyond their reach because Qin Xiao was someone they could never hope to defeat.

  "At a time like this, you're still thinking about something so unattainable?"

  "How utterly foolish."

  At this moment, the Deep Sea Demon Whale King also noticed the reactions of the numerous Abyssal Emperors and sneered disdainfully.

  At the same time, he didn't forget to target the Scythe Emperor.

  With a swing of his massive tail, he once again sent the Scythe Emperor flying three to five hundred meters away.

  The Scythe Emperor cursed inwardly.

  This is absolutely outrageous.

  I've never been humiliated like this in my entire life.

  On the other side.

  Bibi Dong had also started fighting against the three Abyssal Emperors: the Spirit Emperor, Demon Emperor, and Wisdom Emperor.

  However...

  After Qin Xiao stored away the Asura God's position, he too joined the fray.

  With a casual wave of his hand...

  The golden and gray divine powers twisted like a giant snake and coiled around the Spirit Emperor.

  Among all the Abyssal Emperors, it was the Spirit Emperor who made Qin Xiao feel a faint sense of unease.

  Without a doubt, he was a troublesome opponent.

  And the simplest way to deal with trouble was to eliminate the one who caused it.

  "Spirit Emperor, watch out!"

  The Wisdom Emperor and Demon Emperor were both armed.

  Being targeted by a powerful existence far surpassing a Second-Level God was not a good thing.

  They were panic-stricken.

  But the Spirit Emperor himself was even more terrified.

  The threat of death surged into his heart.

  "It seems there's no escaping this!"

  He knew exactly what he was up against.

  Not only in the Douluo Pne...

  Even in the Abyssal Pne, his homend, he was no match for Qin Xiao.

  "If I'm going down, I'll take you with me!"

  His face twisted in fury, and then he let out a sharp cry, "I offer my soul as a sacrifice! I beseech the Saint King to descend!"

  As his voice rang out, the Spirit Emperor ignited like a torch.

  A crimson pilr of light shot up into the sky, piercing through the heavens, its destination unknown.

  "Decisive, I'll give him that."

  Qin Xiao muttered to himself.

  But he didn't rush to interrupt the Spirit Emperor's sacrifice.

  He knew that if the Abyssal Saint King didn't die, the war would never end.

  The existence of beings like the Spirit Emperor, Bze Emperor, or Scythe Emperor might have some impact on the overall situation, but not much.

  "Unexpected, truly unexpected."

  "I thought this world was under my control, but even I didn't foresee this..."

  At that moment, a somewhat raspy voice echoed throughout the battlefield, followed by a figure emerging from the crimson pilr of light.

  He had shimmering white hair, fair skin, and a handsome face. His eyes were pitch-bck, as deep as the abyss. He was cd in a bck robe that covered his entire body, with broad shoulders extending outwards and a massive bck cape that seemed to stretch endlessly behind him.

  "Abyssal Saint King!"

  Qin Xiao looked at the figure, his expression growing solemn.

  This was undoubtedly a formidable enemy. If it weren't for the Douluo Continent's will devouring a rge number of demons and abyssal creatures, it would have been difficult to accommodate such a powerful being.

  Qin Xiao estimated that even if the Abyssal Saint King couldn't exert the full combat power of a First-Level God, he wouldn't be far off.

  The Abyssal Saint King also observed Qin Xiao for a moment before slowly speaking, "I never imagined that such a powerful deity would be born in this world. That useless Tang San thought he had everything under control—how ughable."

  In truth, he was equally shocked.

  This human deity with heterochromatic eyes in front of him gave him an extremely dangerous feeling.

  To say nothing else, the cultivation he had upon descending into this world was on par with his.

  Stronger than a Second-Level God but weaker than a First-Level God.

  However...

  "If I can devour you, the benefits will be enormous."

  The Abyssal Saint King licked his lips excitedly.

  The fall of such a powerful deity would be an unimaginable source of nourishment. If the Abyssal Pne absorbed his power and then devoured the Douluo Pne, how could his cultivation not advance further, reaching the level of a God King?

  Even if he couldn't reach the true God King realm, he would at least attain the level of a half-step God King. With the Supreme Divine Artifact, the Heavenly Sacred Abyssal Halberd, he could even challenge a true God King.

  Moreover, the power of the Abyssal Pne would greatly increase.

  It wouldn't be difficult to produce more god-level powerhouses.

  At that point, the Abyssal Pne wouldn't have to hide in the shadows anymore. He would be as powerful as the Dragon God of old, with numerous Beast Gods under his command. Even the strong of the Divine Realm would have to think twice before acting against the Abyssal Pne.
