Soul Land 5: The Rebirth of Tang San

Chapter 614: Changes Brought by the Transcendent Bloodline

The Dragon Roc Transformation had already reached the peak of the ninth order, and the Peacock Transformation and Lion-Tiger Transformation were both fairly close to the peak.

Meanwhile, the Discerning Eye of Heaven and Chrono Croc Transformation were rather slow to advance. The Chrono Croc Transformation had just entered the ninth order, but after doing so, its advancement speed slowed considerably. The Celestial Fox bloodline was, of course, different from other bloodlines; cultivating this power that controlled fate was no easy task.

But this was actually good news for Tang San—the fact that these two bloodlines were so slow to evolve meant Tang San had more time until the inevitable tribulation. According to his estimation, he would not face it for at least half a year. Half a year's time was sufficient for preliminary preparations.

There was also the question of Crystalline. Tang San had tried several times to call out to Crystalline but received no response. He had no idea how that imprint would impact his breakthrough, and he had no way to find out, so he could only leave it aside for the time being. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

As for the Golden Armor Transformation, the changes it brought to Tang San were simply beyond measure.

For instance, that day when Mei Gongzi pushed him, he didn't even flinch. It wasn't that he was intentionally resisting; it was just that his physique was simply too powerful. Tang San hadn't even fully mastered the Golden Armor Transformation yet, but he roughly estimated that his body weight was ten times what it used to be.

His strength had skyrocketed correspondingly. Now, even without using any bloodline power, just his physical strength and explosive power were enough to overpower most ninth-order warriors.

The toughness of his body had also reached an astonishing level. Once he activated the Golden Armor Transformation, even a Demon King would find it difficult to break through his defense. Only a Great Demon King could pose a threat to him. This was the power of a transcendent bloodline!

In fact, this transcendent bloodline was likely able to support him in cultivating beyond the Demon Emperor level, at least in theory. Tang San believed that was the reason he faced suppression from the planar laws.

And speaking of transcendent bloodlines, Tang San was quite pleased to see the evolution of the Blue Silver Emperor. Although the yin-yang energy was powerful, its foundation wasn't strong enough; the Blue Silver Emperor was barely a second-tier bloodline. Stimulated by the Golden Armor Transformation and the surge of vital energy, it was now evolving rapidly, entering the ninth order. At its current pace, it would reach the peak of the ninth order in no more than a month.

With his current physical strength, Tang San could afford going to find a proper supplement for the Blue Silver Emperor. After that, he could start working on his second transcendent bloodline. Once the Yin-Yang Blue Silver Emperor was successfully refined, its power would be on another level—perhaps even compared to the Golden Armor. Then, he would have no weaknesses and could truly aim to break through to god level.

For now, the main focus in cultivation was to better master the Golden Armor Transformation.

Three days passed in the blink of an eye. When Tang San received Mei Gongzi's summons, he immediately arrived outside Kali Academy.

Mei Gongzi wore a simple light blue long dress. When she saw him again, her gaze seemed even softer. "Let's go, I'll take you to meet my father. Shall I introduce you as Tang San?"

"Right." Tang San nodded. Regarding his identity as both Tang San and Asura, both of them understood without much discussion that they couldn't tell the Peacock Great Demon King. It would be too complicated to explain, so it was better to be seen as a different person.

One good thing was that Tang San had changed significantly from when he first came to Kali Academy as Little Sweeper Tang. Even his actual acquaintances might not recognize him now, let alone the Peacock Great Demon King, who was nothing more than a stranger.

Mei Gongzi came to Tang San's side and activated her Peacock Transformation. Her long, peacock-blue hair mesmerized Tang San. A silver halo enveloped them; in the next moment, space folded, and they disappeared from where they stood.

It had been some time since he last fought alongside her, and Tang San could clearly feel that Mei Gongzi's mastery of spatial power had increased again. Her comprehension was truly remarkable. Just as he had been assimilating what he had gained from the Ancestral Court, Mei Gongzi had been subtly digesting her gains as well. After all, besides her cultivation improvement, Mei Gongzi's practical combat experience, as well as her understanding of and control over space, had made significant leaps during the competition.

With a flash of silver light, the two of them appeared in Kali City. Mei Gongzi looked at Tang San with a curious expression. "Hey, why is it so exhausting to teleport you now? You seem to have changed a lot, and I don’t mean your hair color."

Tang San smiled bitterly, "I've gotten heavier. Do you remember I told you before that I can absorb other bloodlines and turn them into my own power? I actually took the Peacock Transformation from you, back in the day. Uh... Sorry about that. Anyway, during the Ancestral Court Elite Tournament, I acquired other bloodlines as well, specifically the Golden Mammoth and Behemoth bloodlines. After I absorbed these two bloodlines, some special changes occurred. I managed to merge them into one, and the result... well, it’s something beyond the first tier, or so I believe. I named it the Golden Armor Transformation."

"Golden... Wait, what?! You can merge different bloodlines?"

Mei Gongzi looked at him in surprise and didn't hurry to continue teleporting.

Tang San nodded and said, "Based on my experience, any bloodline can merge with another, but the difficulty of the fusion and its effect varies depending on their compatibility. The higher the compatibility, the better the effect, and the greater the chance of a beneficial mutation. The Behemoth and Golden Mammoth bloodlines seem to be related to some extent, so when they merged, the result was exceptionally powerful. Since both are first-tier bloodlines, I believe I created a super bloodline. Well, I call that a transcendent bloodline."

Mei Gongzi's eyes lit up. "Oh, is it possible for me to fuse bloodlines like this? I also have two bloodlines."

Tang San shook his head and said, "I'm afraid not. One reason is that the differences between the Peacock Demon bloodline and the White Tiger bloodline are just too great. They would be extremely difficult to merge, and even if they do merge, the result might not be good. Moreover, if you truly fuse two first-tier bloodlines to create a transcendent bloodline, you would likely face suppression and rejection from the entire plane. So, unless the Asura Sword really comes to your side, you shouldn't attempt this."

"Oh," Mei Gongzi said, a bit disappointed. "So how powerful is your Golden Armor Transformation?"

"Well, as you've noticed, I'm now heavier than before. Ten times heavier, actually. But that's because I don’t have full control of this bloodline power yet. Once I become a god myself, I should be able to solve this problem. And speaking of that, the Golden Armor Transformation has given me a tremendous boost in strength and defense, so my physique is pretty much at god level. I believe an ordinary Demon King probably wouldn't be my match now. If I encounter someone like Meng Dede again, I could probably just let them hit me and they still couldn’t do much."

"So strong?" Mei Gongzi looked at him in astonishment.

Tang San smiled. "I need to be strong to protect you! And when I can restore my past life's cultivation, then I'll be truly strong. Unfortunately, it'll be very difficult in this plane, because I practically have to go against the entire plane. We'll have to take it step by step and see what happens. This plane is the most powerful non-divine plane I've ever seen; otherwise, it couldn't accommodate so many Emperor-level beings."

"I thought your cultivation level would decrease after that clash with the Tenebrous Demon Emperor. I’m happy to see that you’re fine," Mei Gongzi said, visibly relieved. Her gaze softened as she looked at Tang San.
