As soon as he broke through, Zhang Fan could make his move.
He wondered what Zhang Fan would do.
After all, he didn't know much about Zhang Fan.
His power to modify the rules was quite miraculous.
Even he didn't understand it well.
However, seeing Zhang Fan's confidence, he naturally chose to believe him.
"Little fellow, the time is almost upon us; I'm going to break through the barrier of rules!" the Sea God reminded Zhang Fan.
"Alright!" Zhang Fan nodded. He had already reached the eight hundredth step of the stairs, finding the ascent easy so far.
Tang San had exhausted ninety-nine percent of his soul power, yet he still managed to kill the Deep Sea Demon Whale King. Seven of his eight arms were broken.
The sea surface was dyed red with blood.
The Deep Sea Demon Whale King's corpse floated on the water. Tang San, holding the Asura Demon Sword in one hand, "Clang..." sliced open the beast's belly, searching for his father's body.
He found him quickly. His father was barely breathing, covered in the Deep Sea Demon Whale King's stomach acid. If he had been any slower, his father would have died.
It was truly a tragic sight.
Also, very fortunate.
He then took out a Godly Pill the Asura God King had given him and fed it to his father. He also took one himself to recover his injuries and soul power.
Afterward, he gave one to his great-grandfather as well.
After Tang Chen consumed the pill, his soul power and injuries also recovered quickly.
"Alright, sit down and absorb the Deep Sea Demon Whale King's corpse. I'll protect you!" Tang Chen came to Tang San's side.
Tang Hao was then carried on Tang Chen's shoulder and placed on a small island not far away.
"Okay!" Tang San nodded at the returning Tang Chen.
He felt very happy. He had finally, after all the hardships...
...managed to eliminate such a powerful Deep Sea Demon Whale King.
Dad almost died.
Great-grandfather suffered a heavy blow and was covered in injuries.
And he himself almost died too.
This time was too dangerous.
Of course, if it weren't for that damn Zhang Fan causing trouble, they wouldn't have been in such a difficult and sorry state.
Tang San truly loathed Zhang Fan.
He was thinking that once he became a god, he would definitely tear that dead Zhang Fan to shreds.
After all, he would have the Deep Sea Demon Whale King's Soul Ring by then, and his strength would definitely skyrocket.
He figured he could catch up to Zhang Fan now.
After all, the Deep Sea Demon Whale King was a nine-hundred-and-ninety-thousand-year-old sea soul beast.
Just thinking about it was incredibly exciting.
And none of Zhang Fan's Soul Rings were over eight hundred thousand years old.
But he had one that was.
This single Soul Ring could offset many of Zhang Fan's.
The Asura God King's divided soul became vigilant, as Tang San was about to begin attaching Soul Rings.
And the Sea God hadn't made a move for so long, clearly waiting for the right moment.
"Buzz…" The Sea God suddenly sneered, the Sea God Trident in his hand flashing.
"Bang…" The Asura God King's rule barrier instantly shattered like a glass mirror.
"Sea God, you!" The Asura God King's soul fragment was stunned. This Sea God had suddenly broken his rule barrier. This dead guy really wasn't up to any good.
He had been so well-behaved before, and now he suddenly attacked.
His expression shifted slightly, "Not good!" He wanted to activate the rule barrier again, but in an instant, he discovered a bizarre change in the rules.
Sea God Island.
On the steps.
"Ding, triggered a modify plot mission."
[Tang San is sitting cross-legged, absorbing the Deep Sea Demon Whale King's Soul Ring.] Can modify ten characters.
Zhang Fan heard the system's notification and grinned wickedly. He was in a great mood, like a flower blooming with joy.
Like a joyful melody.
A strange arc formed on the corner of his mouth, and his eyes were filled with a cunning look.
Then, of course, he changed "Tang San" to "Zhang Fan on the steps".
"Ding, successfully modified the plot, plot is altered, reward 500 modification points."
The next moment, Zhang Fan was sitting cross-legged on the steps, absorbing the Deep Sea Demon Whale King's Soul Ring.
A wave of spatial fluctuation, and the Deep Sea Demon Whale King's corpse directly appeared in front of Zhang Fan, still bloodied.
That massive creature suddenly appeared on the steps, blocking Zhang Fan's view like a small mountain.
Qian Renxue stared at it for a moment, stunned. "Isn't that the... corpse of the Deep Sea Demon Whale King?" she finally managed to say.
After all, the sheer size of the thing had left her a bit bewildered.
"Uh... that sea spirit beast seems to be dead. How did it end up in front of Husband Fan?" Rukia said, a little surprised.
"Yeah! Don't know!" Qian Renxue shook her head.
"Huh?" Xiao Wu, who had climbed forty steps, also widened her beautiful eyes at the sudden appearance of the massive corpse. "How did the Deep Sea Demon Whale King get onto the eight-hundredth step?"
"I don't know!" Ning Rongrong, who had climbed to the thirty-ninth step, shook her head and pondered. "Could it be a reward for Husband?"
"Possibly!" Zhu Zhuqing said, having climbed to the thirty-eighth step.
"Wow, that's a nine hundred and ninety-thousand-year-old soul beast! Hubby Fan is going to be rich!" Shui Yue'er exclaimed, her eyes widening as she reached the thirty-sixth step and saw the corpse.
"Yeah!" Shui Bing'er agreed, reaching the forty-third step.
"Interesting!" Huo Wu chuckled, a smile gracing her face.
On the sea.
Tang San was originally feeling pleased with himself. Thinking about all the hardship he'd endured, obtaining the nine hundred and ninety-thousand-year Soul Ring from the Deep Sea Demon Whale King was more than enough.
However, he suddenly looked up at the Deep Sea Demon Whale King's corpse, but it was gone.
All that remained were blood-red waters.
The enormous corpse, which had been like a small mountain, had vanished.
He froze in place.
Tang Chen, who had been preparing to protect Tang San, looked over at him and was also stunned. How had that enormous creature suddenly disappeared?
It vanished without a sound.
He was stunned for a long while.
Tang San also stood up abruptly, "What… what happened? Where's the Deep Sea Demon Whale King's corpse? My nine-hundred-and-ninety-nine-thousand-year Soul Ring!"
He roared, yelling hysterically.
He searched everywhere, diving into the sea and flying into the sky.
But he couldn't find it.
"Ah… Uh…"
Tang San was desperately searching!
His heart was bleeding!
He was about to go crazy!
He roared in unwillingness!! He roared with a heart-rending pain!!!! …
Sea God and Asura God King.
The Asura God King's eyes were ashen. If looks could kill gods, his gaze could have killed the Sea God.
It was at that very moment, when the rule barrier shattered, that Zhang Fan activated his rule power and took away the Deep Sea Demon Whale King that Tang San had hunted.
That place was a forbidden zone for gods. Even the power of the rules could only be altered inside, so how could the Deep Sea Demon Whale King be moved away?
It was simply beyond the comprehension of the Asura God King's divided soul.
"Sea God… you… you're disgusting!" the Asura God King's divided soul said through gritted teeth.
"Hehe… you're the disgusting one. The Deep Sea Demon Whale King was left for my successor. How dare you call me disgusting! What we did was just returning things to their rightful owner. How dare you speak? Get lost! Otherwise, we'll see you at the God Realm Committee!"
The Sea God sneered. He wasn't afraid of the Asura God King; after all, he had powerful faith power here.
