Chapter 679: Battle Against the Two Kings

Tang San frowned slightly. He could sense that these sea beasts were not particularly high in intelligence, with the Sea Giant clan being marginally better in this regard than the Sea Dragon clan. If the sea clans and humans were to coexist peacefully in the future, he would have to employ both kindness and authority.

"Very well. Then I'll prove it to you. On land or in the sea?" Tang San asked.

The Sea Dragon leader replied, "Since you claim to be the Sea God's envoy, then naturally, it should be in the sea."

Tang San nodded, took a step forward, and with the wings of his Roc Dragon Transformation spreading behind him, he flew above the sea.

The Sea Dragon leader turned to the Sea Giant leader and the Sea Walrus elder beside him and said, "Step aside. Let me test him and see what this boastful human is capable of."

Upon hearing this, the numerous sea beasts slowly moved to the sides, creating a large open space.

Tang San hovered above the sea, the golden trident mark on his forehead still glowing. As the Sea Dragon leader drew closer, it clearly felt a shiver-inducing pressure from Tang San, so strong that even its bloodline power seemed to be collapsing. Its cultivation was somewhat suppressed.

The Sea Dragon leader scoffed. "You're using our sea's sacred artifact to suppress us, the children of the sea. Even if you win, it won't be a fair victory."

Tang San raised an eyebrow, finding it somewhat amusing. This fellow wasn't as simple-minded as he seemed.

"Fine, I won't use this to suppress you," Tang San said as the Sea God's Trident mark on his forehead vanished. The pressure that had been suppressing the sea clans instantly disappeared.

The Sea Dragon's eyes lit up. Without the oppressive aura, its cultivation immediately returned to its peak.

He let out a loud roar toward the sky, and the surrounding sea instantly boiled. It didn’t change back into Sea Dragon form, however; still in human form, it grasped at the air with its right hand, and immediately, streams of blue light surged from the sea, forming into a deep blue spear in its palm. In the next moment, the deep blue spear was heading straight for Tang San's chest.

Tang San's gaze remained calm as he threw a punch.

Seeing that his opponent didn’t dodge, the Sea Dragon leader was somewhat surprised. It could sense that the human hadn’t reached godhood. Meanwhile, as a member of the Sea Dragon clan, not only was it innately extremely powerful, but its power was even greater while in the sea. Yet this puny little human was fighting it head-on?

Boom!

The blue light shattered and scattered, dispersing into pure water elemental energy. Yet Tang San, suspended in mid-air, remained utterly unmoved.

Indeed, Tang San was not a god just yet. However, his physique was far superior to that of an ordinary being who had already undergone the tribulation.

With the Golden Armor combined with the fresh Blue Adamant Emperor[1], and further enhanced by the Lion-Tiger Golden Force of the Lion-Tiger Transformation, if Tang San focused entirely on defense, his defensive power was so formidable that even an offensive-oriented tenth-order demon would struggle to break through. He had indeed made significant progress.

"Not bad!" The Sea Dragon leader's eyes lit up. It was naturally combative, so it immediately became eager to win upon seeing Tang San punch through its attack. It roared again, the sea surged and boiled once more, and water dragons formed from the ocean shot into the sky, spiraling around Tang San. The dense water energy roared violently. In the next moment, the water dragons rushed at Tang San.

Tang San's eyes shone brightly, and a mote of golden light lit up on his forehead, then quickly spread across his entire body. An intensely scorching bloodline aura erupted from him. The moment his bloodline aura was released, all the sea clans around him felt as if a furnace had appeared in the ocean—a golden blaze, like the core of a newborn sun. The fierce fluctuations of Tang San’s bloodline aura even caused their skin to sizzle.

Golden armor covered his entire body, and enormous claws, each over a meter long, adorned his fingers. His height swelled to three meters, a titanic golden-armored warrior. As the water dragons neared him, most were instantly evaporated, and the rest were torn apart by his claws. Not a single water dragon could reach him.

The Sea Dragon leader felt it most profoundly: Tang San's scorching bloodline aura brought it a sense of oppression. Yet it was not the same as the suppression it felt from that divine artifact’s aura; no, it was a suppression on the bloodline level, the sheer intensity of which the Sea Dragon leader had never encountered before.

Around Tang San's armor, the air distorted slightly, the sign of a slight rejection from the plane itself. In the next instant, the wings on Tang San's back—metallic feathers now also imbued with the Golden Armor’s aura—flapped forcefully, unleashing a wild burst of power. The Dragon Roc Transformation instantly brought his speed to its peak.

The air exploded with a loud boom, and in the next moment, Tang San was already in front of the Sea Dragon leader, his claws fiercely striking out.

It was too fast. With the Golden Armor Transformation boosting the Dragon Roc Transformation, it was almost indistinguishable from teleportation on such a short distance. The difference was that teleportation did nothing to increase his momentum, while this speed, combined with his toughness, practically turned him into an armor-piercing cannon shell.

The Sea Dragon leader hurriedly raised both arms, positioning a dark blue round shield in front of him. The shield had a diameter of two meters; it was adorned with intricate patterns and inlaid with gemstones. Under the urging of his divine consciousness, a dragon-shaped carving on the shield seemed to come to life.

But in the next instant, the ear-piercing sound of slicing filled the air, and the massive impact of Tang San's strike sent the Sea Dragon leader flying.

On the surface of the shield, which was clearly no ordinary item, ten claw marks were left, and its radiance dimmed significantly. The dragon carving on its surface could now hardly be recognized for what it was.

"My Deep Blue Shield!" the Sea Dragon leader cried out in anguish.

Tang San did not pursue the attack but instead looked at the Sea Giant leader and said, "If one of you isn't enough, how about you join in as well?"

The Sea Giant leader's pupils contracted slightly, but it didn't refuse. A wave lifted its massive body from the sea, and in its hands appeared a colossal pillar, tens of meters long.

"Endless Sea!" the Sea Giant leader bellowed in a low voice. Instantly, blue halos rose from the surrounding sea, quickly enveloping both it and the Sea Dragon leader, causing their auras to explode.

Both of these sea beasts were Sea Kings, and it was clear that they excelled in direct combat. Their strength far surpassed that of the Sea Walrus elder, who had a tough defense but was nothing more than a sitting duck.

It seemed that these were the first-tier bloodlines of the sea, or at least something equivalent to that.

With the two Sea Kings joining forces, the pressure Tang San faced suddenly intensified.

However, Tang San was not afraid. The Golden Armor’s aura erupted, merging with the Lion-Tiger Golden Force. His armor lit up with golden radiance, and at the same time, a chilling killing intent suddenly exploded from him.

Everything around seemed to darken in color, and some of the lower-level sea beasts in the distance even felt as if the sea had turned blood-red. This was the God-Killing Domain!

Since Tang San succeeded in creating the Golden Armor Transformation imprint, his abilities were close to perfection. There was no doubt in his mind that right now, he was the absolute strongest person below godhood on the entire planet, by a large margin.

At this moment, as Tang San unleashed his full power, the intensity of the bloodline power he was circulating was simply unbelievable, and the killing intent emanating from the God-Killing Domain enhanced his aura threefold. His claws extended into five-meter-long light blades, slashing simultaneously at the Sea Dragon and Sea Giant in front of him.

Under the cold killing intent, the auras of the two Sea Kings were suppressed, rendering the Sea Giant leader’s amplification ability almost useless. With a pained expression, the Sea Dragon leader retracted his Deep Blue Shield, and a spear appeared in his hand. The spear gleamed as it thrust at Tang San.
