Soul Land 5: The Rebirth of Tang San-Chapter 781: Challenging an Emperor

The White Tiger Demon Emperor sighed and shook his head in despondence. "How quickly a woman sides with her man against her family.... Fine, both of you can come at me together."

Tang San chuckled. "Then let’s do it together. We’re the best team—the Ancestral Court Elite Competition’s champions."

The White Tiger Demon Emperor gave a faint smile. "That’s good for you, I suppose. Soon, you’ll understand what real power is. In the face of an elephant, there’s hardly any difference between one ant and two ants. Follow me."

The White Tiger Demon Emperor led Tang San and Mei Gongzi out of the study and up the stairs, ascending to the higher levels of White Tiger Palace.

Tang San took the opportunity to observe the palace more closely.

The floor and walls of the White Tiger Palace were made of smooth, polished black stone inlaid with white stone. That was all—plain black-and-white stone, but thanks to the intricate white patterns, every part of it gave off a sense of luxury and nobility. The white stone emitted a soft glow, radiating pure energy. It was clear that this seemingly decorative material was in fact extremely valuable.

They climbed the stairs all the way to the top floor, where the White Tiger Demon Emperor led them to a pair of large double doors.

In contrast with the walls, these doors were made of a white material and were adorned with symmetrical black patterns. They looked rather strange, yet at the same time beautiful.

"This is the highest level of my White Tiger Palace. Nobody will bother us here; in fact, I don’t even have servants here. Most of the time, I’m the only one in this palace. Such is the sorrow of having no kin," the White Tiger Demon Emperor said calmly.

Indeed, since they had entered the palace, neither Tang San nor Mei Gongzi had seen anyone else. It seemed that in this grand palace, the White Tiger Demon Emperor was completely alone. So he had been living in solitude all this time?

Tang San was once more made aware of why he had been able to persuade the White Tiger Demon Emperor so easily. Indeed, it wasn’t the promise of immortality per se that convinced him—it was the promise of being able to spend those long years together with family.

The White Tiger Demon Emperor stepped forward and pushed open the double doors. Instantly, a chilling aura surged out from inside, making them shiver involuntarily.

The world inside was pure white. There was no trace of color anywhere within. And when the White Tiger Demon Emperor stepped inside, Tang San and Mei Gongzi realized they could no longer sense his presence.

Tang San immediately understood—behind these doors was a separate dimension. This was the gateway to a micro-plane. As it turned out, just like the Celestial Fox Demon Emperor had his Hell Garden, the White Tiger Demon Emperor also had his own secret realm.

"Come in," the voice of the White Tiger Demon Emperor called out.

Tang San took Mei Gongzi's hand and stepped through the door.

The moment they crossed the threshold, they felt their entire bodies tense, as if some force was pulling them, yanking them deeper inside.

An eerie aura surrounded them, and in the next moment, a cold killing intent seemed to permeate the entire world.

It was a world of white. There was no snow, yet everything around them was white. The ground, the mountains, even the plants were all white. So much white made the entire world feel incredibly eerie.

The White Tiger Demon Emperor stood not far ahead, smiling calmly. "This is my world. I call it the White Realm. I spend much of my time here, nurturing my killing intent. I discovered this small plane by accident. As you can see, it looks pretty eerie, but you get over it with time. There are two great things about this plane: it’s extremely stable, and whatever energy is here is extremely pure. In my case, killing intent is my foundation, so I constantly purify it here. When my killing intent reaches its peak, I purify it further in this realm, and each time, it grows stronger. It was through the sublimation of my killing intent that I eventually became an Emperor. In any case, while this is my plane, it doesn’t boost my strength any more than it boosts everyone else’s. Here, the fight is fair."

Tang San silently sensed the aura of the White Realm. Sure enough, when he released his own energy, a strange force within the plane absorbed it, filtered it, and then returned it to him. His energy had undergone a transformation, just as the White Tiger Demon Emperor had described—purified.

What a great place! If one trained here consistently, they could purify their bloodline power, making it even more intense. This was unquestionably one of the White Tiger Demon Emperor's greatest secrets, and now he was sharing it with Tang San and Mei Gongzi, just like that.

The White Tiger Demon Emperor looked at Tang San and said, "When you're ready, come at me. Don’t disappoint me. Let me see the confidence you have in taking me out of this world in the future. Here, you can unleash your full power without worry. Even an Emperor can’t break this White Realm."

"Alright," Tang San nodded.

He let go of Mei Gongzi's hand and smiled at her. "I'll handle this on my own. I have a good feeling about this place, and I want to see where my limits are right now. You just back me up."

Seeing the brightness in his eyes, Mei Gongzi said nothing more. She simply nodded gently, gave him an encouraging look, and stepped back.

The White Tiger Demon Emperor smirked. "I thought you were really going to hide behind my granddaughter. You’ve got some guts, after all."

Tang San smirked right back at him. "Taunting won't work on me, Your Majesty. I'm ready to begin."

As he spoke, Tang San took a small step forward. And during that small step, a golden halo lit up behind him.

At the center of the halo, the Blue Silver Emperor appeared, enveloped in a mist of milky-white chaos energy. Instantly, black and white energies intertwined within the halo, causing a massive shift in Tang San's aura.

Perhaps affected by the chaos energy, the White Realm trembled slightly.

The White Tiger Demon Emperor was startled and instinctively used his divine consciousness to stabilize the White Realm, applying a bit of suppression.

At that very moment, Tang San moved.

In an instant, silver light flickered, and Tang San appeared right in front of the White Tiger Demon Emperor. Golden armor swiftly covered his entire body, and five giant golden claws extended from each hand, slashing fiercely toward the White Tiger Demon Emperor.

Golden Armor Transformation!

The intense aura of the Golden Armor Transformation, combined with the yin-yang power of the Blue Silver Emperor, pushed Tang San’s strength, sharpness, and suppressive power to the absolute limit.

Light exploded from the White Tiger Demon Emperor's eyes, and instead of blocking the attack, he opened his mouth and let out a fierce roar.

A terrifying wave of divine consciousness surged forth like a storm, crashing toward Tang San’s body. But at that exact moment, Tang San’s seemingly all-out attack suddenly stopped, and he vanished again.

He reappeared behind the White Tiger Demon Emperor, and his eyes still shining brightly, showing that he had not been affected by the tiger roar.

At the same time, the Spacetime Lighthouse emerged from Tang San’s dantian, floating up to his chest. A milky-white glow descended from it, enveloping the White Tiger Demon Emperor and slowing his movements considerably.

Tang San’s claws descended fiercely, aiming directly at the White Tiger Demon Emperor’s back.

However, at that moment, Tang San seemed to sense something and abruptly restrained his power. The white light from the Spacetime Lighthouse turned silver, and in the next instant, he vanished into the void once more.
