Chapter 298: Long-Range Transmission—Bo Saixi
"Ugh! Pah, pah, pah!"
Tang God King, having face-planted into the dirt, was left with a mouthful of weeds. The humiliation and rage on his face deepened even further.
These three beasts—he was going to kill them today no matter what!
A surge of black light flowed through Tang San's left hand as his Clear Sky Hammer martial spirit was released. His eyes locked onto the three Thousand Hands Ant Emperors before him.
His beloved Xiao Wu—whom he had longed for over so many years—was gone. Tang God King descended into madness in that instant, completely forgetting the absolute difference in strength between the two sides.
These were three Thousand Hands Ant Emperors, each with over 99,000 years of cultivation!
Thousand Hands Ants were soul beasts with incredibly tenacious vitality. They possessed extremely strong defensive power and strength far beyond what their body size would suggest. This was the main reason why, ten thousand years ago, the three brothers had been able to survive the onslaught from the Azure Bull Python and Titan Giant Ape and escape with their lives.
Having broken free from the Blue Silver Emperor's bind, the three Thousand Hands Ant Emperors now had a rough assessment of Tang San's strength. They squeaked and chattered in their own way to communicate for a few seconds, then the smallest of the trio—the third brother—flapped its wings and flew out to meet him.
He was just a Soul Emperor. For one of them to step up was already more mercy than this human deserved.
"Clear Sky Nine Absolutes—Collapse Technique!"
Tang San swung the Clear Sky Hammer in his hand, unleashing one of the nine secret techniques—the Collapse Technique. The hammer spun rapidly in the air, carrying a terrifying gust of force as it charged toward the Thousand Hands Ant Emperor.
The Clear Sky Nine Absolutes was the true top-secret art of the Clear Sky Clan, one that only direct disciples could cultivate—after gaining unanimous approval from both the clan head and the elders.
Tang Xiao had never once questioned his beloved nephew. However, the elders had always been hesitant—until the incident in Slaughter City where Xiao Yu posed as Tang Chen and appointed Tang San as the heir to the Clear Sky Clan. After that, all objections vanished. To those elders, Tang Chen was like a god.
The Thousand Hands Ant Emperor raised its two most powerful front legs and slashed toward the Clear Sky Hammer.
CLANG—
A massive crash rang out. Sparks burst from the hammer's surface as the two forces clashed in mid-air, locked in a fierce stalemate.
Veins bulged across Tang San's forehead as he clenched his teeth. Blood trickled from the webbing between his thumb and index finger—it was clear he was already pushing himself to the limit.
But the gap in power was simply too wide. A Thousand Hands Ant Emperor with nearly 100,000 years of cultivation had strength that even most ten-thousand-year soul beasts couldn't match.
The deadlock lasted no more than three seconds before Tang San's defense crumbled. A horrifying force sent him, hammer and all, flying backward, crashing through several thick trees before finally slamming to a stop.
"So strong…"
Tang San struggled to his feet, wiped the blood from his mouth, and, unwilling to give up, charged once more at the Thousand Hands Ant Emperor.
"I don't care how strong you are—if you hurt Xiao Wu and her friends, then you deserve to die!"
"Clear Sky Nine Absolutes—Ninth Fusion!"
An overwhelming aura exploded from Tang San's body. A faint, ethereal blue light shimmered around him, and his soul power surged to its absolute limit.
"Eight Spider Lances!"
Eight purple-black spears erupted from Tang San's back. Empowered by the thirty-thousand-year Man-Faced Demon Spider, the Eight Spider Lances had already evolved into a ten-thousand-year soul bone, appearing far more menacing than before. Each lance was as thick as a bowl at its base, and the poison infused in them had grown even more terrifying.
The moment they appeared, the Eight Spider Lances stabbed into the ground. They bent sharply, then sprang back with tremendous force, launching Tang San high into the air using the recoil.
"Die!"
With a furious roar, Tang San raised his heavy hammer and plummeted from the sky, the force behind the swing resembling the crushing weight of Mount Tai.
In response to this full-force blow, the Thousand Hands Ant Emperor mirrored Tang San's movement. All six of its legs struck the ground hard, launching it into the air with the rebound force of the earth. Its entire body radiated a blinding dark-golden glow.
The Thousand Hands Ant Emperor was actually planning to take Tang San's hammer strike head-on.
BOOM!
A thunderous crash echoed out. Tang San, with only Soul Emperor cultivation, was decisively defeated. His body twisted in midair like a meteor streaking across the sky before crashing hard into the ground, toppling several thick trees before coming to a stop.
No matter how formidable the Clear Sky Nine Absolutes were, no matter how rare the Eight Spider Lances were, it wasn't enough to close the vast gap between him and the Thousand Hands Ant Emperor.
Fortunately, Tang San had the Eight Spider Lances—an external soul bone of supreme quality. During his fall, they managed to cushion some of the force, preventing him from receiving another fatal blow after the initial impact.
Even so, Tang San was in a terrible state after taking a direct hit from the Thousand Hands Ant Emperor. The beast's strength was too overwhelming—he could clearly feel his ribs breaking in his chest.
ROAR!
The Thousand Hands Ant Emperor let out a deafening roar. Its six legs once again slammed into the ground, and the earth finally gave way, collapsing beneath it. The beast then shot toward Tang San like a golden streak of light.
"Am I going to die? But I haven't avenged Xiao Wu yet!"
A look of despair washed over Tang San's face. At that moment, he was clearly out of strength. He shut his eyes in pain, accepting his fate.
But at that life-or-death moment, the space in front of him suddenly twisted. A flash of blue light appeared in an instant, placing itself between him and the incoming Ant Emperor.
THUD!
A deep impact rang out. The Thousand Hands Ant Emperor, charging with immense force, was blown backward at a hundred times the speed it had attacked!
In Tang San's blurry vision, a graceful silhouette quietly emerged.
It was a tall, elegant woman—at least 1.8 meters in height. She wasn't burly or broad-shouldered; instead, her build was sleek and beautifully proportioned.
She wore a lavish crimson robe. Her sea-blue hair flowed down her back, and her gentle face looked no older than thirty. Her beauty came from her aura—noble, graceful, and serene. Compared to Bibi Dong, who also had a regal presence, this woman carried a comforting warmth—like the kind and gentle older sister from next door.
In her right hand, she held a three-meter-long scepter, similar in appearance to Bibi Dong's Pope Scepter. The scepter was pure gold in color, and embedded at the top was a dazzling, diamond-shaped golden gemstone.
The newcomer was none other than the High Priestess of Sea God Island—Sea God Douluo Bo Saixi. A level 99 ultimate powerhouse, known by her title: Invincible of the Ocean.
"High Priestess!"
Tang San immediately recognized her. After Sea God Island contacted the Clear Sky Clan, Bo Saixi had met with Tang San once under the guidance of the Sea God's divine will.
It was precisely that meeting that allowed the Sea God to embed a strand of divine consciousness into Tang San's body. And now, at this most critical moment, that divine will had activated a long-range teleportation, summoning Bo Saixi from her prayers at the Sea God Temple straight to the core of the Star Dou Great Forest—saving the Tang God King's life in the nick of time.
