Chapter 888: Do You Think You Can Die So Easily?

The yin-yang energy surged madly under the massive influx of life energy, causing the Adamant Nymph Emperor’s body to swell uncontrollably. The chaotic yin-yang energy clashed wildly within it, forcing it to use all its power to suppress it. But life energy continued pouring in, and the yin-yang energy kept growing stronger. It was as if it had swallowed a ball of fire, and now it was being forcefully fed oil by the barrel. Worst of all, there was no way to release the energy!

Extreme yin and extreme yang, when left uncontrolled, were some of the most terrifying forces in the world. The golden radiance of the Adamant Nymph Emperor now flickered wildly, growing dim and bright at irregular intervals. At the same time, its body was expanding more and more.

Tang San smiled as he watched the Adamant Nymph Emperor, who could no longer even speak and had to focus all its divine consciousness just to suppress the raging yin-yang energy within it. "Heaven may forgive those punished by fate, but those who bring disaster upon themselves cannot escape it. You enjoy devouring the life energy of my Blue Gold Tree clan, don't you? Well, today, I'll let you devour your fill."

The Adamant Nymph Emperor glared at Tang San in fury. At this moment, it could think of nothing else; it just wanted to expel the wildly erupting yin-yang energy that its body could no longer contain. But how could it possibly control the yin-yang energy? In its frenzied state, even Tang San couldn’t control it anymore.

"If you're willing to surrender, I might spare you. At the very least, I could ease your situation," Tang San said suddenly.

The Adamant Nymph Emperor, unable to care about anything else, blinked repeatedly at Tang San in desperation. As an Emperor, it had never imagined it would find itself in such a humiliating situation, but... it had to live. Anything else was secondary.

Tang San cut off the flow of life energy. It would take a while for the yin-yang energy to convert all the stored energy into fuel, so for the time being, there was no need for him to add more of it.

In a flash, Tang San appeared before the Adamant Nymph Emperor, pressing both hands against its chest. "Don’t resist. I’ll draw the power back," he said solemnly.

The Adamant Nymph Emperor had no idea whether Tang San was telling the truth, but at this moment, it had no choice but to believe him. The yin-yang energy inside him was too intense, and it was eating its body from the inside as if it had swallowed magma. Even now, it couldn’t understand how Tang San had done something like that.

The next moment, Tang San’s hands emanated a powerful suction force. The Adamant Nymph Emperor didn’t resist, fearing the energy inside it might explode.

Indeed, the energy within it was slowly absorbed by Tang San. Its stiff and swollen body relaxed slightly, and it felt a hint of relief. Right now, Tang San didn’t look as detestable to it as before.

However, this sense of relief lasted only for a moment before it realized something was wrong. Tang San was indeed absorbing

some

of the energy inside it, but it wasn’t the wildly erupting yin-yang energy. It was the Emperor’s own bloodline power, the bloodline of the Adamant Nymph clan!

The bloodline power of an Emperor—that was Tang San’s true goal. The death of the Adamant Nymph Emperor was not terribly relevant in the long term; even if an Emperor died, another would eventually rise, so it wouldn’t significantly impact the strength of demons and nymphs. But absorbing the bloodline power of an Emperor was an entirely different story; it would bring immense benefits to Tang San. Even if he could use it for nothing else, it would help him create yet another transcendent bloodline. With his current strength and life energy, and increased approval from the plane, he could easily handle one more.

The Adamant Nymph bloodline wasn’t considered top-tier, certainly not on the level of the Immortal Flame Phoenix bloodline, but in terms of defense, it was absolutely unmatched. Otherwise, the Adamant Nymph Emperor wouldn’t have recklessly devoured Tang San’s life energy. It had only done so based on sheer self-confidence.

The bloodline power of an Emperor was indeed extraordinary. As soon as Tang San began absorbing it, he could feel its distinct layers and understand more about why Emperors were so different. They were indeed far beyond ordinary life forms, and their bloodline power was immensely potent. After expending so much life energy earlier, Tang San had been somewhat weakened, relying on the Ancestral Tree’s energy to sustain himself. But now, as he absorbed the Adamant Nymph Emperor’s bloodline essence, his energy was immediately and perfectly restored.

The Adamant Nymph Emperor’s eyes widened as it felt its bloodline power being absorbed, while the yin-yang energy inside him continued to expand. The more power he lost, the harder it became to endure. But now, there was no way for it to reverse the situation. It didn’t even dare to do anything with its divine consciousness, because even the most minute mistake could lead to its body exploding!

Tang San continued to absorb without hesitation. He didn’t want the Adamant Nymph Emperor to die too quickly—he needed more time to absorb as much bloodline power as he could.

Slowly, despair filled the Adamant Nymph Emperor’s eyes. It now understood that Tang San had no intention of letting it go. If this continued, there would be only one outcome for it.

“Damn you! I’ll take you down with me!” the Adamant Nymph Emperor roared, finally abandoning control of its divine consciousness in a furious outburst.

But just then, a stream of pure energy emanated from Tang San’s palm, and the yin-yang energy that had nearly torn the Adamant Nymph Emperor’s body apart suddenly calmed down. Stunned, it realized that its body was no longer on the verge of explosion.

With such a tremendous amount of energy raging within, it was certain it would have taken Tang San down with it. But even if it wanted to die... was it really up to it?

“You’re overthinking things,” Tang San replied with a calm smile.

As a former God King, if Tang San didn’t have the confidence to prevent his opponent from dragging him down in a mutual demise, he wouldn’t be doing what he was doing now.

The Adamant Nymph Emperor couldn’t control the yin-yang energy, but Tang San’s Chaos Blue Silver Emperor could, albeit temporarily. By injecting a little chaos energy, he could suppress the explosion of yin-yang energy for a little, keeping the Adamant Nymph Emperor alive. How could he let it die before fully absorbing its bloodline power?

However, the Adamant Nymph Emperor’s furious roar startled the powerful beings outside.

When the Ancestral Tree’s aura erupted in Skytree City, the Soul Capturer Nymph Emperor immediately sensed it. He was renowned for his divine consciousness, so he was the first to feel the burst of aura and the surge of life energy flowing toward Adamant City.

The Ancestral Tree—is Jin Miaolin able to harness the power of the Ancestral Tree all the way from here?

That was his first thought. Then, he noticed some change in the aura within the Earth Prison. Unfortunately, he couldn’t see or sense what was happening inside, but he guessed that Jin Miaolin had managed to mount some resistance.

The Soul Capturer Nymph Emperor wasn’t sure what was happening inside. Still, upon sensing that Tang San could tap into the Ancestral Tree’s power, he actually felt a bit more at ease. He didn’t believe Tang San would win, but he certainly didn’t want the Adamant Nymph Emperor to gain too much from him.

The power erupting within the Earth Prison grew stronger, and the energy inside was clearly shifting. The Soul Capturer Nymph Emperor tried to sense it, but all he could feel was a massive amount of life energy gathering inside. It was so abundant that even from where he stood, he felt its nourishing effects.

While unsure when the battle would end, the Adamant Nymph Emperor’s furious roar suddenly made the Soul Capturer Nymph Emperor’s eyes narrow in alarm.

Mutual destruction? What the hell?! No way... Did Adamant lose? How is that possible?

The Soul Capturer Nymph Emperor was far sharper than the Adamant Nymph Emperor. As soon as the thought crossed his mind, he immediately darted backward, retreating toward the ground.

If his fellow Emperor was serious about self-destruction, that would result in an absolutely tremendous explosion, and though he was an Emperor himself, he wanted to be nowhere near that.
