When a soul beast is being sacrificed, a "safe zone" is created.
Before the sacrifice is complete, unless a deity intervenes, it is absolutely impossible to interfere with the internal process.
This is a natural rule, just like "a soul master must absorb soul rings to breakthrough."
It is written in the Tang Clan Encyclopedia.
So,
although the trial of the Thunder Roaring Infernal Vine was extreme, it was not impossible to complete.
However,
how could Tang San, a Level 40, three-ring Soul Lord, possibly stop a million-year soul beast, a demi-god level Deep Sea Demon Whale King?
The only possibility was if he persuaded many companions to assist, with Tang Lan helping alongside—a narrow chance of survival.
Though almost impossible, it still existed.
The risk, however, was near suicidal—calling it a "death mission" would not be an exaggeration.
Not to mention, family members understood their own affairs.
Tang San's reputation within the Tang Clan was such that, besides his disciple Oscar, no one could disobey his orders.
Who else would risk their life to snatch Tang Lan's opportunity?Forget about the psychological hurdle of his own heart.
—Xiao Wu, Zhu Zhuqing, and Shui Bing'er would also never pass this test!
After weighing the pros and cons,
Tang San sighed helplessly and looked at Tang Lan.
"Brother, send me in."
He had seen that trying to subdue it politely was futile, no longer bothering with pleasantries to the Thunder Roaring Infernal Vine.
[Host causes Tang San to lose 840,000-year Thunder Roaring Infernal Vine soul essence, seizing mid-level Tang San fate!]
[Reward: 50,000-year Emperor Auspicious Beast Three-Eyed Golden Nio Head Soul Bone!]
Tang Lan's eyes lit up!
The Emperor Auspicious Beast Three-Eyed Golden Nio was naturally auspicious.
It was born with intelligence comparable to humans and had a soul beast habitat; all soul beasts there grew twice as fast, and the chance of a 100,000-year soul beast breakthrough was doubled.
The best part:its name is Three-Eyed Golden Nio, so naturally, the head soul bone had three holes.
Perfectly suited for Tang Lan!He was very satisfied.
But he didn't express it outwardly.
He patted Tang San's shoulder for encouragement, using the Vast Sea Soul Sealing to store him within the Blue King.
Then he also stored the Thunder Roaring Infernal Vine.
Tang Lan waved to the others and signaled Poseidon.
The Demon Whale Sea was over three thousand nautical miles away; flying there directly would take too long.
He activated the Life Blue Silver Emperor Right Leg Bone, transforming into a streak of blood light to leave.
But he didn't enter the Demon Whale Sea directly; he stopped at the edge.
Having learned from Poseidon for ten months,
Tang Lan's control over spirit power was now far beyond before.
The Blood Escape Technique no longer required a full sprint at long distances.
He could finely control output, speed, and distance.
Feeding on his own life force, then using spirit power to trigger extreme life attribute recovery.
Ten minutes to fully replenish consumed life force.
With everything prepared,
Tang Lan soared straight upward, reaching ten thousand meters, above the thunderstorm clouds covering the Demon Whale Sea.
Beneath him, wild lightning flashed endlessly, the contained energy making Tang Lan's heart race.
Compared to the power of nature, Tang Lan was still slightly inferior.
The Vast Sea Divine Eye lit up, transforming into a triangular prism, covering hundreds of meters.
Vast Sea Divine Soul Shield!Using the Vast Sea Divine Eye to provide concealment; nothing below god-level could detect it.
Even if a blind cat stumbled across it.
Its god-level dual protection for both soul and weapon meant that even a Level 99 peerless Douluo could not break through the defense before Tang Lan's spirit power ran out.
It was used to shield the nearby thunderstorm clouds.
The Thunder Roaring Infernal Vine could safely absorb the lightning energy within the shield.
Tang Lan would then move quickly to continuously replenish the lightning energy.
Like an eraser wiping the board.
The lightning in the clouds it passed through was completely neutralized, turning into ordinary dark clouds.
Tang Lan was careful, only absorbing the top layer of the thunderclouds.The lower part remained unchanged.
This maximized delay before the Deep Sea Demon Whale King could detect it.
Although not completely free,
the Thunder Roaring Infernal Vine's cultivation speed increased a thousandfold compared to Sea God Island.
In just one day, it rose from 840,000 years to 900,000 years.
Soul beasts cannot become gods, but they have no "bottleneck limit" like soul masters.
Even if a great calamity's thunder tribulation was not overcome, they could continue cultivation.
—After all, the thunder tribulation could not sense it, so what did it matter?
Of course, there was a downside.
Once the thunder tribulation detected the target, it would increase in strength relative to its 900,000-year cultivation.
But did the Thunder Roaring Infernal Vine care?It wouldn't undergo the thunder tribulation—at one million years, it would simply perform the sacrifice.
No problem.
However, a new issue arose.
With cultivation at 900,000 years,
sweeping the clouds bit by bit reduced efficiency.
Half a day passed, and it only increased one ten-thousand-year cultivation.
Only a day and a half left, at most another ten thousand years.
What use was that?
Unless…
"Should I release the Vast Sea Divine Soul Shield?" suggested the Thunder Roaring Infernal Vine."The lightning energy in these clouds is sufficient. If I absorb it at full power, I can reach one million years in half a day."
Half a day?
Could the Deep Sea Demon Whale King allow another soul beast to reach one million years within its territory?
Tang Lan pondered.
The Thunder Roaring Infernal Vine remained silent, patiently waiting for his decision.
"Let's try," Tang Lan decided."Already at 910,000 years, let's take a gamble—turn a bicycle into a motorcycle!"
The Thunder Roaring Infernal Vine was ecstatic!
Look at that!Now that's a real man!
The tiny weakling as its host? Ridiculous.
Tang Lan first took out the Divine Wind Boat, placing the non-flying Thunder Roaring Infernal Vine on top.
He instructed: "Protect this Divine Wind Boat. If the Deep Sea Demon Whale King appears, I will engage it in battle below.
If I'm defeated, or if you reach one million years, immediately start the sacrifice.
Understood?"
The Thunder Roaring Infernal Vine nodded decisively.
Whatever extra it gained was all profit.
It entwined its dense roots around the Divine Wind Boat.
After greeting Tang Lan,
the Vast Sea Divine Soul Shield was removed.
The Thunder Roaring Infernal Vine, dangling upside down, inhaled.
From the endless thunderstorm clouds below, tens of thousands of years of accumulated lightning surged like a celestial river, flowing against every branch and leaf.
The terrifying power forced Tang Lan to retreat cautiously.
At the center of the storm,
the Thunder Roaring Infernal Vine's aura surged, detectable even from afar.
Tang Lan estimated that,
it would take only four hours—not half a day—to break through to one million years.
However…
"Buzzzz—"
A deep, resonant whale cry.
A massive body tore through the thunderstorm clouds, swimming out.
Its length reached an astonishing 200 meters, the body pitted and uneven like lava,its two giant eyes four times Tang Lan's size.
Tang Lan, however, focused on the scar across its left eye.
Wasn't this caused by the Sea God back then, poking it blind?
Tang Lan stared at the Deep Sea Demon Whale King's right eye, itching for some action.
Should he provoke it a little?
