Chapter 463 Awareness? Heading to the Land of Great Danger!
Chapter 463 Awareness? Heading to the Land of Great Danger!
On the Eagle Fall Plain, the night wind was heavy.
The deafening roar of the soul-guided cannons during the day had ceased, but the smoke from the battlefield had not yet dissipated. A dark green poisonous fog stretched across the center of the plain, like a long river of death, forcibly separating the Heavenly Dou Star Luo Allied Forces from the Sun Moon Empire's positions.
In the distance, the Sun Moon Empire's soul-guided shield still shone with a ghostly blue light.
Behind the protective shield, rows of soul-guided turrets stood silently, like cold eyes watching the allied camp in the east.
Meanwhile, the allied forces did not relax their efforts in the slightest.
The Star Luo Heavy Cavalry retreated to the rear to reorganize, the Heavenly Dou Infantry rebuilt their defensive line, and healing soul masters moved back and forth between the camps. Ye Lingling's Nine Heart Begonia bloomed again and again, its soft white light illuminating one wounded soldier's tent after another.
Ning Fengzhi's face was still somewhat pale.
One person assisting an army of ten thousand may seem glamorous, but the cost is far greater than ordinary people can imagine.
Dugu Bo sat on a boulder outside the camp, eyes closed, meditating, with faint dark green poisonous patterns swirling around his body. Dugu Yan stood guard beside him, glancing occasionally at the poisonous area in the distance, her gaze complex.
This battle has been temporarily suspended.
But everyone knows that the real crisis is far from over.
The Sun Moon Empire was only forced to retreat into its protective shield by Dugu Bo's Azure Phosphorous Divine Light; they still had ports and fleets.
There is also a continuous stream of subsequent soul tools.
Moreover, Tang San, who is truly hiding behind the scenes, has not yet appeared.
Tang Chuan stood at the highest point of the camp, dressed in a blue outfit, with the Trident of Poseidon standing beside him. The blue-gold light was faint, but it gradually calmed the chaotic soul power fluctuations around him.
He didn't look at the Sun Moon Empire's position, but instead looked down at an inconspicuous blue silver grass at his feet.
That blue silver grass grew on the edge of the battlefield. In the daytime, it had been trampled by horses' hooves, shattered by the aftershocks of soul-guided cannons, and grazed by Dugu Bo's poisonous mist. There were also scorched marks on the grass leaves.
But at this moment, it was swaying gently at Tang Chuan's feet.
A faint wisp of bluish-gold light shone from deep within the blades of grass.
Upon seeing this, Tang Chuan's previously calm gaze suddenly changed.
Xiao Ruier noticed his unusual behavior immediately. She gripped the Golden Dragon Spear, walked to Tang Chuan's side, and asked:
"What's wrong?"
Tang Chuan did not answer immediately.
He slowly squatted down, his fingertips gently touching the leaves of the Blue Silver Grass. The next moment, all the Blue Silver Grasses that had not yet withered on the entire Eagle Fall Plain trembled slightly.
It's very light.
It was so light that ordinary Soul Masters couldn't even detect it.
But Tang Chuan had already become a god, and his Blue Silver Emperor was no longer just a martial soul, but a source of life that could resonate with all the Blue Silver Grass in the world.
A single blue silver grass cannot see what is happening a thousand miles away.
But countless Blue Silver Grasses can take root in the earth and grow in the mountains, forests, streamsides, grassy slopes, and lakesides, as well as in every corner of the Starry Sky Forest.
When the core area of the Star Dou Great Forest was polluted by the death energy of Rakshasa, when the vegetation in this ominous place withered, and when the Dark Blue Silver Grass forcibly devoured the forest's vitality, that pain, along the most delicate life veins between the Blue Silver Grass, gradually reached Tang Chuan.
At first, it was just random trembling.
Like distant thunder.
Like a mournful cry echoing from the depths of the earth.
But as Tang Chuan's divine sense descended, those vague sensations quickly became clear.
He saw withering.
I saw the deathly aura.
I saw the land, eroded into a dark green color.
I saw vast swathes of Blue Silver Grass withering away under the power of the Rakshasa.
I also saw Dark Blue Silver Grass.
Tang Chuan was all too familiar with that aura.
"Tang San?"
With a low shout, Tang Chuan's fingertips tightened slightly, and the Blue Silver Grass at his feet was enveloped by a wisp of cyan-gold life force. The charred grass leaves unfurled again, but his expression grew increasingly grim.
Xiao Ruier looked at him and suddenly had a bad feeling.
Suddenly, Tang Chuan slowly stood up and looked eastward. It wasn't the west coast of the Star Luo Empire, nor the territory of the Sun Moon Empire, but the deepest part of the continent, in the direction of the Star Dou Great Forest.
He said in a low voice:
"broken."
"Tang San is not here."
Xiao Ruier's eyes narrowed, and she pressed for an answer:
"What do you mean?"
Tang Chuan said:
"He went to the Starry Sky Forest."
"Starry Sky Forest?"
Upon hearing this, Ning Rongrong, Dugu Yan, and Ye Lingling also rushed over.
Ning Rongrong's expression changed slightly, and she said:
"But isn't the Sun Moon Empire currently attacking on the west coast? Shouldn't Tang San be directing them from behind?"
Tang Chuan shook his head.
"The Sun Moon Empire is probably just bait. He deliberately let the expeditionary force land on the west coast in a grand manner to draw the attention of us, Qian Renxue, and the two great empires here."
"His real target is the Star Dou Great Forest."
Xiao Ruier instantly understood, and a golden light flashed in her eyes.
"Which ones are Uncle Di Tian and the others?"
Tang Chuan nodded, his expression gradually becoming serious.
"Tang San was nearly killed by Di Tian when the three of us joined forces last time. If he really becomes the Rakshasa God now, he will definitely want to eliminate the power of the Star Dou Great Forest first."
"If he killed Di Tian, Bi Ji, Xiong Jun, and the Demon King, and then refined them into undead..."
Tang Chuan did not continue speaking.
But everyone understood that it would be a disaster.
Tang San, who possesses the power of the Rakshasa God, is already troublesome enough. If you add a legion of ferocious undead beasts to the mix, Tang San's threat level will skyrocket to an extremely terrifying degree.
Ning Rongrong's face turned pale.
"So now we..."
Tang Chuan turned around and directly grasped the Trident of Poseidon.
"I'll go to the Star Dou Great Forest immediately."
Xiao Ruier replied without hesitation:
"I'll go with you."
Tang Chuan looked at her.
Xiao Ruier gripped the Golden Dragon Spear tightly, her tone calm but leaving no room for negotiation.
"Don't even think about keeping me here."
"I know you're fast, and I know you're the god of the sea."
"But Tang San is no longer an ordinary enemy."
"I'll go with you. At least I can help you hold off the dead or take care of the wounded."
Tang Chuan remained silent for a moment.
Before becoming a god, he might have hesitated, but now he was able to protect Xiao Ruier with the power of the sea god, and his speed was sufficient to carry her across the continent. Moreover, Xiao Ruier's golden dragon bloodline and golden dragon spear were equally powerful against undead and evil forces.
Tang Chuan nodded.
"it is good."
Ning Rongrong immediately said:
"Then I will too..."
Tang Chuan shook his head.
"Rongrong, you guys stay."
Ning Rongrong was taken aback.
Tang Chuan looked towards the Sun Moon Empire's position in the distance.
"We still need you here."
"Senior Dugu's poison zone has temporarily held back the Sun Moon Empire, but they won't be trapped forever."
"You and Uncle Ning stay here to help the two empires stabilize the front lines."
"Lingling, continue treating the wounded. Yanzi, keep an eye on Senior Dugu's poisoned area and prevent the poison from spreading to the Allied forces."
Dugu Yan bit her lip and could only nod in the end.
Be careful.
Ye Lingling said softly:
"Make sure you come back safely."
Tang Chuan nodded slightly.
"I will."
Ning Fengzhi also came over. Although his face was pale, his eyes were clear.
"Tang Chuan, if something really happens in the Star Dou Great Forest, you must go there immediately."
"We're here."
"The Sun and Moon Empire is temporarily unable to break through the poison zone."
Dugu Bo opened his eyes, snorted coldly, and said:
"Go ahead without worry."
"I can hold out in this toxic zone for a while longer. If they dare to come out, I'll send them another piece of Azure Phosphorescent Divine Light."
Tang Chuan glanced at everyone, then raised the Trident of Poseidon without saying anything more. Blue-gold divine light instantly spread from beneath his feet.
The power of the sea god does not only control the sea. After becoming a god, Tang Chuan was able to make long-distance divine power leaps on the earth by using the connection between water vapor, life and blue silver grass.
Xiao Ruier stood beside him, the Golden Dragon Spear trembled slightly, and golden dragon energy surrounded her whole body.
Tang Chuan reached out and grasped her wrist.
"Walk."
The next instant, a blue-gold light shot into the sky.
It looked as if a tidal wave had suddenly appeared above the camp.
As the tide surged, Tang Chuan and Xiao Ruier vanished from their spot.
……
Starry Sky Forest.
A place of great misfortune.
This place is no longer the vibrant, ancient, and towering heartland that Tang Chuan remembers.
A dark green, deathly aura lingered in the air.
Deep trenches cracked open in the ground, the lakeside cliffs collapsed, and large numbers of ancient trees were broken at the roots. Some trees were still shrouded in the deathly aura of Rakshasa, their bark blackened and their leaves withered, as if they had been drained of their life force.
The once clear lake water now has a faint grayish-green tinge.
The mud by the lake is covered with traces of battle.
Large swathes of vines withered and turned to ash, scattered on the ground like rotting snake corpses. Where the deathly aura of the Rakshasa had eroded, even the Blue Silver Grass turned charred and curled.
The entire ominous land looked as if it had just experienced a world-ending war.
At that moment, a beam of blue-gold divine light suddenly descended from mid-air, and Tang Chuan and Xiao Ruier appeared on the lakeside. As soon as they landed, Xiao Ruier frowned and said:
"Such a heavy aura of death."
At the same time, the golden dragon spear in her hand emitted a deep hum, and the tip of the spear shimmered with golden light, automatically repelling the surrounding Rakshasa aura.
Tang Chuan didn't speak, but his eyes had already darkened. He then took a step forward, and the blue-gold and blue-silver imperial patterns under his feet rapidly spread outwards.
"Blue Silver Domain".
"Bringing the dead back to life."
boom--!
A bluish-gold light emanated from Tang Chuan, surging outwards in all directions like a tide.
That's not an ordinary healing soul skill.
Rather, it is the life divinity of the Blue Silver Emperor after he became a god.
One by one, the Blue Silver Grasses, which had been eroded by the death energy of the Rakshasa, unfurled their leaves again under the cyan-gold divine light. The scorched roots regained their vitality, and the withered branches and leaves turned green again.
From the polluted soil, wisps of dark green death energy were forced out, then vanished into nothingness in the blue-gold radiance of the sea god's power.
Tang Chuan raised his hand and waved it, and the Trident of Poseidon floated up.
"Light of the Sea God, Purify."
Blue-gold light rained down from the sky.
When it lands in the lake, clear ripples spread across the surface; when it lands on the trees, the rotten lines on the bark gradually fade; when it lands on the ground, the deathly aura of the Rakshasa evaporates like black smoke.
Xiao Ruier stood beside him, watching the entire forest slowly recover under Tang Chuan's power. Her gaze softened a bit, but she knew that this was only a superficial repair.
What was truly injured was the core vitality of the Star Dou Great Forest.
Just then, footsteps sounded in the distance, and Di Tian emerged from the dilapidated ancient forest.
His complexion looked terrible, his black clothes were tattered, there was a sickle scar on his chest that had not yet fully healed, and the dragon scales on his right arm were faintly visible. His breathing was obviously somewhat disordered.
Behind him, Bi Ji, Xiong Jun, Wan Yao Wang, Chi Wang, and Zi Ji also appeared one after another.
Xiong Jun had a deep wound on his chest, and his soul energy was still unstable.
One of the Red King's heads still bears traces of Rakshasa corrosion on its side.
The dragon scales on Zi Ji's shoulders were broken, and her aura was chilling.
The Demon King's body was covered in large, withered, blackened wooden patches.
Brigitte's face was pale, and the wound on her shoulder from the spider spear had not yet fully healed.
Upon seeing this, Xiao Ruier's expression changed slightly, and she said:
"How did you get injured like this?"
Di Tian did not answer her, but looked at Tang Chuan and said in a deep voice:
"I didn't expect you to arrive so quickly?"
Tang Chuan nodded, his gaze sweeping over the ferocious beasts.
"Tang San came by?"
Emperor Tian said in a deep voice:
"Yes. He didn't go to the West Coast battlefield."
"The Sun Moon Empire's expeditionary force was merely a pawn in his feint. While your attention was focused on the west coast, he secretly infiltrated the Star Dou Great Forest, intending to wipe us out and then turn us into undead."
Xiao Ruier gripped the Golden Dragon Spear tightly, her eyes blazing with killing intent.
"He's still the same old him."
Tang Chuan continued to ask:
"How many dead did he bring with him?"
Di Tian's face was gloomy.
"Many. Bibi Dong, Tang Xiao, elders of the Haotian Sect, Chrysanthemum Douluo, Ghost Douluo..."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Ruier's expression changed slightly. Although she already knew that the people from Shrek had been turned into undead by Tang San, she still felt disgusted every time she heard it.
Tang Chuan's eyes grew even colder as he pressed on:
"Any other discoveries?"
Di Tian took a deep breath and said:
"He also released two martial souls."
"Dark Blue Silver Grass and Clear Sky Hammer. His Dark Blue Silver Grass is no longer an ordinary martial soul; it has nine red soul rings, plus a purple-gold divine ring."
"Those spirit rings all carried the aura of vengeful spirits; he must have forcibly increased them by devouring souls."
"He bound us with blue silver. Those blue silver grasses possess the power of Rakshasa, capable of devouring life, soul power, and even polluting the very essence of the forest."
Upon hearing this, a flash of cyan-gold light appeared in Tang Chuan's eyes.
No wonder.
No wonder the pain emanating from the Blue Silver Grass was so intense.
Tang San actually contaminated the Blue Silver Grass to this extent.
It's also Blue Silver Grass.
A journey toward life, healing, and recovery.
A path leading to devouring, decay, and death.
This is almost the most ironic contrast.
Di Tian continued:
"His Clear Sky Hammer has changed too."
"Nine soul rings."
"One black, seven red, and one crimson gold."
"The last crimson-gold spirit ring, with its terrifying spiritual power, must have come from a spirit beast with extremely high cultivation."
Tang Chuan's eyes darkened slightly as he thought to himself:
"Could it be the Evil Emperor?"
Di Tian nodded and continued:
"His ninth soul skill, the Clear Sky Hammer, is fused with the spiritual essence of that soul beast. When the hammer falls, it attacks not only the physical body but also the soul."
"If our lord hadn't forced us out of seclusion, we probably wouldn't have made it to your place."
Tang Chuan's gaze sharpened. As a transmigrator, he knew everything, but he still pressed on, "Master? In this Star Dou Great Forest, are there people stronger than you?"
Di Tian remained silent for a moment.
The expressions of the ferocious beasts, including Biji, Ziji, and Xiongjun, also became complicated.
Tang Chuan looked at them, and he already had the answer in his heart.
In the deepest part of this Star Dou Great Forest, there is only one being whom Di Tian can call "Lord".
Silver Dragon King.
Tang Chuan did not press further. Instead, he raised his hand, and the Blue Silver Emperor Martial Soul appeared, its cyan-gold life force landing on Di Tian and the others.
"Let's heal our wounds first."
Just as Di Tian was about to refuse, Tang Chuan spoke up:
"Since Tang San knows about this place, he will definitely come again."
"Your current state won't be able to stop the next time."
Di Tian fell silent and did not refuse again. The cyan-gold life force merged into his body, and the Rakshasa scythe scar on his chest began to slowly heal, with the residual death energy being forced out little by little.
Xiong Jun groaned as the gentle life force soothed his soul injury, the poison on Bi Ji's shoulder was purified, and her pale face instantly recovered somewhat.
Tang Chuan's current healing abilities are no longer just ordinary Blue Silver Emperor abilities, but a life revival imbued with divinity. Even injuries caused by Rakshasa divine power can be purified by him little by little.
As Di Tian felt his injuries heal, he glanced at Tang Chuan with a complex expression.
"You've become a god?"
Tang Chuan said:
"Yes."
Emperor Tian said in a deep voice:
"Tang San has become a god too."
"Moreover, he already knows of the Lord's existence."
Tang Chuan looked up at the deepest part of the ominous place, where a faint silver light shone, but it was not fully revealed.
Di Tian said in a low voice:
"Our lord forcibly emerged from seclusion and although she repelled Tang San, her injuries had not healed and her strength was not at its peak, which is why Tang San was able to escape."
"Furthermore, Tang San seemed to have guessed his master's identity before he fled."
At this point, Di Tian's expression became more solemn than ever before. He looked at Tang Chuan and remained silent for a moment, seemingly hesitant about whether to continue.
After all, this is no longer a grudge between ordinary soul beasts and humans, but a secret of the divine realm and a blood debt of the dragon race.
It's a wound that the entire soul beast lineage has buried for countless years. (End of Chapter)
