Chapter 311: Continental Denunciation
Xiao Yu noticed Tang San's escape, but he didn't care.
What difference did it make if Tang San died now? As long as that shameless Asura God still existed, he would always find a way to resurrect him.
Xiao Yu's goal in this battle was singular—to expose Tang San's identity as an evil soul master before the entire world.
He wanted to see just how much faith power a godly seat inherited by a universally hated figure could possibly gather on the Douluo Continent.
Seeing Tang San retreat into the distance, the Sea God quietly sighed in relief.
As long as Tang San was alive, even if today ended in defeat, their plan still had a chance to succeed.
As for resurrection… that was the Asura God's final trump card left for Tang San. The Sea God didn't even know such a method was possible.
"Ignorant human—today will be your last!"
With Tang San gone, the Sea God had no more reservations.
With a furious roar, brilliant blue-gold light burst from his forehead. The illusionary sea behind him surged, towering water pillars rising into the sky.
In the high heavens, those columns condensed into a massive dragon over a hundred meters long.
The dragon bared its claws and fangs, appearing almost like a real creature. The roar of the sea morphed into an earth-shaking dragon cry.
Under the Sea God's guidance, the water dragon dove straight at Xiao Yu.
"Second Soul Skill—Death God's Lament!"
The second of Xiao Yu's nine hundred-thousand-year soul rings erupted with a blinding glow.
The Death Scythe danced in the wind, carving trails of pale violet-white light. In mid-air, the trails drew a single character—"Death."
A chilling, murderous aura burst forth from the scythe, clashing directly with the rampaging water dragon.
Boom!
A deep shock rang out. A visible shockwave exploded outward from the collision point.
The resulting windstorm leveled everything nearby—houses, towers, even massive stone walls crumbled.
"Cut!"
Xiao Yu roared, his Death Scythe exploding with even greater energy.
The scythe sliced downward, cleanly splitting the water dragon from head to tail.
With a loud blast, the dragon burst apart, turning into countless motes of oceanic blue that scattered into nothingness.
But Xiao Yu didn't stop there.
After destroying the water dragon, he charged directly at the Sea God's projection.
The icy killing intent surrounding him made even the Sea God feel an inexplicable shiver.
"Damn it!"
The Sea God cursed. He hurriedly channeled divine power, and a bright azure barrier appeared before him.
Crack!
The Death Scythe struck with terrifying force.
The divine barrier shattered on contact.
The Sea God staggered several steps back, and a thin slash several inches long appeared on his golden armor.
His expression turned grim and dark.
Though Xiao Yu wielded remnants of the Death God's divine power, both the Sea God and the Death God were first-rank deities.
Moreover, the divine power remaining in Xiao Yu shouldn't even reach ten percent of the Death God's true might. Otherwise, it would have manifested as a divine martial soul, like Bo Saixi's bond with him.
The truth was clear now.
The overwhelming difference in power wasn't due to borrowed strength.
It came from Xiao Yu himself.
"You will die today, human!"
The Sea God let out a furious roar.
He swung his arms wide. The divine power of the sea surged like a tidal wave, vast and boundless.
Massive waves gathered once more, converging at his side—ready to strike.
He no longer intended to hold anything back.
After this battle, his divine consciousness would completely dissipate from Tang San's body. But to the Sea God, this was a choice he had no luxury to avoid.
The laws of the Douluo Star were something both the Sea God and Death God understood.
Xiao Yu, who bore the power of the Death God, would not be restricted by those laws. He too had the potential to break through to level 100.
With the overwhelming strength Xiao Yu had displayed thus far, the Sea God couldn't see any chance of victory for Tang San if they both stood at the same peak.
Therefore, to ensure the success of their plan to claim the faith power of the Douluo Star, they had to kill Xiao Yu—before he truly broke through.
The Sea God condensed a long halberd out of divine power.
He began to spin it rapidly.
The Golden Thirteen Tridents were executed in one seamless flow—then fully fused into one.
The Sea God's strongest move—Dusk of the Sea God, the thirteenth strike of the Golden Thirteen Tridents.
The blue light surrounding the Sea God instantly turned into a strange golden-amber hue.
A massive golden pillar of light burst from his body and shot toward Xiao Yu like a descending divine mountain.
Faced with this terrifying blow, infused with boundless oceanic might, Xiao Yu gripped the Death Scythe tightly.
His sixth soul ring lit up.
"Sixth Soul Skill—Death's Silence!"
Behind Xiao Yu, the phantom of the Death God appeared.
A violet-white blade of energy swept outward, carrying world-shattering destructive force.
Where it passed, the earth split apart, and cracks in space itself tore through the sky—deep, black, and bottomless.
A pillar of violet light collided with the golden one.
Boom!
In the Sea God's shocked gaze, the golden pillar shattered into powder.
His divine power was completely exhausted at that moment.
Though filled with unwillingness, he could do nothing more. His illusory body crumbled and scattered into rays of light drifting upward into the sky.
Only his final, venomous words remained:
"Human, no matter the cost—you must die!"
The battle ended.
Soul masters from Spirit Hall who had narrowly escaped death, along with frightened citizens awakened by the destruction, quickly gathered at the scene.
Xiao Yu gently flapped his wings and landed before the strongest surviving soul master in the group—a Soul Saint.
He said plainly, "The man who attacked your branch just now was Tang San, heir to the Clear Sky Sect and Holy Son of Sea God Island. I suggest you report this to the Spirit Empire headquarters immediately."
The Soul Saint, a man over fifty with sharp instincts, instantly understood Xiao Yu's intent.
This was meant to completely ruin the reputation of Tang San—along with the Clear Sky Sect and Sea God Island.
But to the Spirit Empire, this wasn't bad news.
Clear Sky Sect and Sea God Island were both enemies of Spirit Hall. Discrediting them would only serve the Empire's interests.
Though the attacker had never once declared his name, Tang San's identity was beyond doubt.
As the Clear Sky Sect's heir, his information had been recorded in extreme detail. The Eight Spider Lances—known for life absorption—had been seen at the Advanced Soul Master Tournament.
And the Blue Silver Emperor Martial Soul, which could control surrounding blue silver grass, sealed it.
There was no mistake.
That person had been Tang San.
There was no injustice in implicating the Clear Sky Sect and Sea God Island.
The Soul Saint nodded and replied, "Your Excellency, rest assured. I will send word to headquarters immediately."
Several days later, both the Spirit Empire and Heaven Dou Empire issued public declarations:
Tang San, heir to the Clear Sky Sect and inheritor of Sea God Island, was confirmed to have absorbed human life essence to increase his cultivation. He was caught red-handed while attacking a Spirit Hall branch—irrefutable proof of his fall into darkness.
The entire continent was shaken.
Even after ten thousand years, evil soul masters were figures hated by all.
And now, under the rule of Spirit Hall—whose very mission was to eradicate evil soul masters—Tang San's name instantly became synonymous with infamy.
Clear Sky Sect and Sea God Island were also scorned by the public.
Even the Star Luo Empire found itself caught in the backlash.
