Soul Land 5: The Rebirth of Tang San-Chapter 887: Chaos Withdraws, Yin-Yang Transforms

From the moment Tang San decided he would fight, he had every intention to use the Polar Luck Domain, but he was afraid of the Soul Capturer Nymph Emperor noticing something.

Thus, when the Earth Prison isolated them from the outside world, Tang San had to restrain himself from laughing. He had been more or less certain that his plan would work anyway, but once the Earth Prison blocked the Soul Capturer Nymph Emperor's perception, he knew that there was practically no chance things could go wrong.

And indeed, everything proceeded according to plan; by the time the Adamant Nymph Emperor realized something was wrong, it was already too late. Everything it had wanted to absorb, it had absorbed... along with some things Tang San intended to inject into its body.

The Adamant Nymph Emperor felt that the life energy it was absorbing from Tang San was different from the energy it had absorbed from other Blue Gold Trees. This was only natural—it was indeed pure life energy, but it also happened to contain chaos energy. What kind of energy was chaos energy? Even Emperors had no idea what it was. The stimulation of this energy naturally made the life energy he absorbed feel smoother, more easy to process, and far more effective.

This was all fine, of course. The real problem was that the chaos energy was only there to hide... some other things.

The Adamant Nymph Emperor's devouring ability was strong, and in terms of divine sense, it wasn't weaker than Tang San. However, without the support of a divine seat, its foundation couldn't compare to that of a true god like Tang San. Chaos energy was not something that could be absorbed just like that; even while it was inside the Adamant Nymph Emperor's body, it was still under Tang San's control.

Thus, when the time came, Tang San simply withdrew it, and the thing it concealed was thus released.

What Tang San had concealed within the chaos energy was, of course, the power of the Chaos Blue Silver Emperor.

The true name of the Chaos Blue Silver Emperor, if one was to be technical, was the Chaos Yin-Yang Blue Silver Emperor, as chaos energy was born from the extremes of yin and yang. It was also superior to them, so it could restrain them. But once freed from the chaos energy's restraints, this terrifying power could not be contained by any inferior energy. The yin and yang energies thus began to erupt, clashing and merging with each other simultaneously and absorbing the surrounding life energy in the process. After all, life energy could serve not only as nourishment for all life forms, but also as fuel for various processes.

The bloated sensation the Adamant Nymph Emperor felt was a result of this. It had to be said, its physique was indeed exceptionally powerful. The sudden surge in internal energy only made it feel bloated; had it been someone with a weaker cultivation instead, they would have been directly blown apart.

Even so, the yin-yang energy within its body surged and multiplied exponentially. All the life energy it had absorbed earlier became the initial fuel for this yin-yang energy to bloom, and the second source of fuel was... none other than the Adamant Nymph Emperor's own life energy! freёweɓnovel.com

The reaction between these energies was so powerful and fast that before it could even process what exactly was wrong, things had already gone far beyond its control. As the energy multiplied, the Adamant Nymph Emperor's expression turned to one of shock.

Even now, it had no idea what was happening inside its body. These changes were utterly unbelievable to it. It simply couldn't fathom how a Great Nymph King could inject any energy into his body that he couldn't absorb. Moreover, it was a mineral-type nymph, literally made of stone; the inside of its body was every bit as tough as the outside! So why was this energy erupting within it with such ferocity? And why was it so damn painful?!

It suddenly tried to release the two spikes it had been holding, but now that it wanted to let go, Tang San wouldn't allow it.

The two spikes were as tough as metal spears, yet they softened instantly, curling around his wrists. After all, they were nothing but the vines of the Blue Silver Emperor. At the same time, life energy several times greater than before began to flood into its body wildly.

The sheer immensity of Tang San's life energy was far beyond what the Adamant Nymph Emperor could comprehend.

The colossal image of the Ancestral Tree reappeared behind Tang San, becoming clearer with every moment that passed. Simultaneously, brilliant blue-golden light began to bloom in the distance.

That light was coming from the direction of Skytree City.

The distance between Skytree City and Adamant City was considerable, and if Tang San relied solely on his divine consciousness, he wouldn't have been able to maintain the connection. But with a little help from the Spacetime Lighthouse, things were quite different.

Moreover, Tang San wasn't the only one here with the imprint of the Ancestral Tree's blessing. There were also twelve elders of the Blue Gold Tree clan, among whom two Great Nymph Kings and a direct descendant of the Ancestral Tree's bloodline.

While they meditated below, they activated the imprint with all the energy they could muster, playing the role of a beacon. When Tang San unleashed the full brilliance of the Ancestral Tree's radiance, it triggered a reaction from Ancestral Tree's husk that waited far away in Skytree City. Vast amounts of life energy began to converge from all directions toward Adamant City, surging madly into the sky.

As the representative of the Ancestral Tree, Tang San was the most capable of channeling this life energy. And right now, he was channeling all of it, without reservation, into the Adamant Nymph Emperor's body.

With Tang San's current cultivation, if he used his full divine consciousness, both of his transcendent bloodlines, the Sea God's divine power, and the Sea God's Trident, he would have the ability to barely contend with an Emperor. But killing one, especially one known for their defense like the Adamant Nymph Emperor, was impossible unless he was willing to make some rather painful sacrifices.

But strength isn't everything. Timing, terrain, and the matching of abilities are all critical factors in a battle.

When the Adamant Nymph Emperor tried to enter Skytree City and was sent flying by the Ancestral Tree's strike, Tang San sensed an opportunity. He had been the one to push the Ancestral Tree to strike, so he knew perfectly well what the Ancestral Tree had done.

The Ancestral Tree's strike had forcibly stripped away a large portion of the Adamant Nymph Emperor's life essence. With its defense, normal attacks could not harm it, but depriving it of its life essence was different—it was a real and direct impact, one that shortened its lifespan massively. That was why the Adamant Nymph Emperor had fled in fear.

The Ancestral Tree was the origin of all life energy on Falan Planet. Naturally, since it was able to bestow life energy, it was also able to strip that life energy away. After its awakening, these two abilities were granted to Tang San, and through him, to the clan elders.

Thou givest, and thou takest away.

With these two abilities at his disposal, Tang San had a bold idea. The Adamant Nymph Emperor's life essence had been drained, and there was no time when it would be more desperate to absorb life energy to replenish itself than now. Moreover, its confidence in its impregnable defense would make it disregard everything else when presented with a nice and juicy source of life energy.

Even now, the Adamant Nymph Emperor didn't realize that the reason it had been able to devour so much life energy so smoothly was not that it was far stronger, but that Tang San was letting it absorb the energy. In fact, let alone not resisting, Tang San had even used the life-bestowing ability to facilitate it!

Now, as the yin-yang energy had taken root and begun to grow within the Adamant Nymph Emperor, Tang San fully activated the life-bestowing ability. Using himself and the twelve elders as conduits, he fully activated the power of the Ancestral Tree's husk in order to absorb all the life energy between the two cities and inject it into the Adamant Nymph Emperor.

Adding fuel to a fire makes it burn hotter, so what happens when you add an entire lake's worth of fuel to a wildfire?

All of this had been carefully calculated by Tang San, planned from the very beginning. The reason he had spent so much time meditating after arriving in Adamant City was that his divine consciousness had been using the Spacetime Lighthouse to communicate with the Ancestral Tree. Even at this distance, it allowed him to draw on the Ancestral Tree's power.
