Chapter 672: Acquiring the Adamant Nymph Bloodline

Vines around Tang San suddenly shot out, with dozens of them winding toward the opponent. At the same time, four vines braced against the ground, forcefully propelling Tang San into the air.

The Adamant Nymph King roared, "Shock!"

The shield in its hand slammed down onto the ground, and immediately, a surge of yellow light burst out, sending all the vines flying away and giving them no chance to wrap around it. Simultaneously, it looked up at Tang San, who was soaring through the air, and threw a punch into the distance. A mass of yellow light shot toward Tang San like a cannonball.

Tang San had no intention of blocking that strike head-on. He had some vines coil under his feet, then jumped off of them, propelling himself even higher into the sky and dodging the blast. Meanwhile, hundreds of Blue Silver Emperor vines descended from the heavens, aiming to envelop the area below.

The vines formed a cage, trapping the Adamant Nymph King.

The Nymph King lifted its heavy shield and struck upward fiercely. The shield emitted a blinding light, immediately expanding the cage and forcing it open. Meanwhile, Tang San seized the opportunity to land quickly. Vines snaked along the ground, once again winding toward the opponent. Simultaneously, Tang San leaped into the air, gathering vines around him and forming a massive lance centered on his body. In this state, he shot straight toward the Adamant Nymph King.

Blue Silver Emperor Tyrant Spear!

The Blue Silver Cage had been forced open, but the vines on the ground were already winding their way toward the opponent once more.

Tang San's attacks didn't seem particularly strong to the Adamant Nymph King, but the way Tang San used softness to counteract hardness made the fight particularly frustrating for it. Moreover, as the Nymph King had mentioned earlier, if Tang San could last more than three minutes, he would pass the challenge. Time was ticking away, and the Adamant Nymph King was not about to let that happen.

Yellow light surged instantly as the Nymph King let out a roar, and the spiritual fluctuations around it became intense. The giant shield in its hand rapidly expanded, growing from its already enormous size into a towering ten meters of height. The shield emitted a blinding yellow light as it crashed down upon Tang San like a crumbling city wall.

Oh? Is this its ultimate move?

A faint smile appeared at the corner of Tang San's mouth as he raised his left hand, revealing a teleportation array disc in his palm. In the next moment, he was gone.

The massive wall of light swept fiercely through where Tang San had just been, but by then, Tang San had already reappeared behind the Adamant Nymph King, Blue Silver Emperor Tyrant Spear included.

The moment Tang San vanished, the Adamant Nymph King realized something was wrong. It did not turn around, however; instead, it summoned up even more energy and its entire body seemed to solidify into a statue, emitting intense golden light.

But to its surprise, it was not the sharp tip of the Blue Silver Emperor Tyrant Spear that struck it.

The vines forming the lance tip in front of Tang San spread out and opened up the way for him to strike the Adamant Nymph King's back with his palm.

The Blue Silver Emperor vines quickly wrapped around the Adamant Nymph King, binding it tightly from behind.

The Adamant Nymph King's defensive power was simply ridiculous. It quickly concentrated its bloodline power, ready to break free from the vines. It was confident that against an opponent who wasn't even a Nymph King, it could just stand still and allow them to strike it.

However, just as it was gathering strength, it suddenly felt a strange suction force from behind.

Many tiny spikes had embedded themselves into its skin; though they barely penetrated a few millimeters, something utterly negligible, they exerted a pulling force that weakened its bloodline power, preventing it from immediately breaking free of the vines.

"You!"

The Adamant Nymph King, furious, let out a deep roar. It used its divine consciousness to drive its bloodline power to surge, and an even stronger burst of bloodline power exploded from it, accompanied by dazzling golden light.

With a loud boom, the Blue Silver Emperor vines were instantly shredded to pieces. Tang San was also blasted backward and sent flying off the mountain.

"Senior, you are truly powerful. I will seek your guidance next time," Tang San's voice called out as he let himself be flung away.

The Adamant Nymph King, slightly dizzy, turned to look back but saw only the quickly descending figure.

"Hey, wait! Don't go yet!" the Adamant Nymph King hurriedly shouted, but Tang San was already gone, disappearing quickly.

The Adamant Nymph King paused for a moment, scratching its head. Had it gone a bit too far just now? It was supposed to be a simple test, but in the end, it had gone all out, blasting the opponent away, which was nothing to brag about at its level. On the contrary, this guy's use of his vines and whatnot was quite impressive. And that annoying teleportation array disc... it was truly irritating, especially for someone like it who wasn't good at speed.

Oh well, he's gone now. Maybe next time.

Meanwhile, Tang San quickly left the range of the Adamant Sacred Mountain, a faint smile on his face. Things had gone even smoother than he expected, and the results of this endeavor were excellent. The Adamant Nymph King's bloodline power was incredibly dense, and it had a solid and stable foundation. It was undoubtedly one of the more impressive Nymph Kings. While there were many stronger than it, few could break its defense. If Tang San really wanted to defeat it, he'd need to use his Golden Armor Transformation; otherwise, breaking through its defense would be impossible at his level.

That giant shield was also a very good piece of equipment, likely forged from refined adamant. Tang San couldn’t help but feel a pang of envy. Some nymphs sure were wealthy!

In any case, having accomplished his goal, it was time to leave quickly, just in case the Indestructible Adamant Nymph Emperor noticed something was amiss. Tang San couldn’t take any chances when it came to an unknown Emperor.

A bright yellow bloodline imprint had already formed in his dantian. He would deal with it later when he returned home. Now that he had a teleportation array, returning to the Ancestral Court in the future would be much easier. There was no rush to acquire yin and yang bloodlines; first, he needed to stabilize the Blue Silver Emperor and use the Adamant Nymph's fusion to elevate it to a first-tier bloodline.

Thus, Tang San quickly returned to the White Tiger Grand Hotel.

"Let's go, we're heading back now."

Without wasting any time, Tang San immediately activated the teleportation array on the second top floor and took Mei Gongzi away with him.

Compared to the temporary array they used when fleeing the Ancestral Court last time, this one was much more refined. The light of the teleportation array was confined to the room, and in the next moment, they vanished into thin air.

One minute after they left, the White Tiger Demon Emperor appeared in the teleportation room. He had a thoughtful expression on his face as he observed the residual spatial fluctuations and examined the array.

The White Tiger Demon Emperor had watched Tang San build this teleportation array with his own eyes, which was why he had a good understanding of it. Although his knowledge in this area wasn't as extensive as Tang San's, as an Emperor, he could make extremely precise judgments about subtle energy changes. He knew that this teleportation array was quite extraordinary, but to achieve long-distance teleportation, one needed not only high enough cultivation but also the ability to activate the array's core—most likely using a space-attribute divine item.

However, he didn't dwell on it much. In his view, that space-attribute divine item was naturally the Celestial Plume, the sacred artifact of the Peacock Demon clan. Little did he know that the Celestial Plume had recently been trembling in fear, as someone was preparing to refine it.

With a flash of light, Tang San and Mei Gongzi quietly appeared in a cave outside Black Dragon City.

Seeing the familiar cave, Mei Gongzi's eyes sparkled with excitement. They had succeeded! They had successfully transported themselves all the way to Black Dragon City in one go, and this jump wasn’t random—it had carried them to the exact spot designated by Tang San. A second teleportation would bring them back to Golden Valley.

The two sat down and meditated to recover their spent spiritual power and divine consciousness. An hour later, Tang San once again activated the Spacetime Beacon, the

actual

space-attribute divine item he was using to control the arrays. The next moment, they were gone.
