Soul Land V: Rebirth of Tang San

Chapter 723 Crystal Descends



The colossal Emperor Sky Pillar, towering over five hundred meters tall, suddenly lit up. As its crystalline radiance twinkled, the entire Ancestral Court Council was bathed in an otherworldly glow, prompting a sense of unreality among all the Emperors present.

A somewhat ethereal figure silently projected down and landed atop the Emperor Sky Pillar. As this figure appeared, the Emperors present all bowed slightly in its direction as a sign of courtesy. It was a tribute to the mightiest.

Indeed, the lit Emperor Sky Pillar belonged to the strongest in the current Ancestral Court, who was also the nominal chairman, the Almighty Crystal Great Demon Emperor!

The phantom-like figure was somewhat indistinct, but all the Emperors there were extremely familiar with this aura. No one could impersonate the Crystal Great Demon Emperor, and the Emperor Sky Pillar beneath was the best evidence.

"Why can't a young girl give a report? The council should also have a female voice. I approve of her report. Heavenly Fox, you should not alarm others without cause. I don't believe a young girl could cause much turmoil. If you have solid evidence, bring it forth, if not, then let it be. My reasoning is simple; the Ancestral Court should have a female voice. Just like that."

Having said this, the luminous glow flickered and turned into a stunning rainbow that streaked across the sky.

Suddenly, within the Ancestral Court Council, the whole chamber fell silent. Continue reading at empire

Pretty Girl stood there, dumbstruck, watching the direction in which the Crystal Great Demon Emperor had disappeared. Was this the Almighty Crystal Monster Emperor?

The truly Almighty should be her adorable boyfriend, Tang San.

Almighty, Almighty. You really are Almighty! You've truly done it.

Naturally, none of this was by chance, nor could it have been. Although Pretty Girl still didn't understand how Tang San managed it, she was completely certain that everything appearing here and now was related to him.

Nine Great Demon Emperors, and astonishingly, six had supported her report, including the number one, and the number three ranked among them.

How incredible! Even under the control of the Dominator of Fate, the Great Demon Emperor Heavenly Fox, her destiny had ultimately transcended his grasp.

The second test, passed.

There was no need for the Great Demon Emperor Heavenly Fox to announce it anymore; the outcome was clear. Six votes in favor, three against. The second trial, the Emperor's public verdict, was passed.

...

Crystal Sacred Mountain.

This was the final holy mountain that Tang San had to climb after coming back to the Ancestral Court. Before arriving, he had determined that he must climb at least four holy mountains. After careful consideration upon arrival, he decided to climb a fifth mountain, the one right before him.

The only mountain that made him hesitate before the ascent. Because he wasn't sure whether, after the climb, he would get what he wanted, or if he would have to face a terrible consequence, forcing him to make a different choice.

The Crystal Sacred Mountain was, as always, Tang San still vividly remembered how difficult his last climb had been, every time he used a bloodline ability while climbing, the Crystal Sacred Mountain would produce a replica that could use the same ability. From the initial single entity to the later three replicas, and even to the final nine replicas.

Many strong members of the Monster Clan and Spirit Clan attempted to scale the Crystal Sacred Mountain, and the only thing to do here was to conquer oneself. This is undoubtedly an excellent place for training and trials, yet very few could climb beyond a certain distance. Defeating a replica of oneself was a difficult task for the average strong individual, as the replicas here could almost use your abilities to their fullest, and sometimes even surpass the original. What's more, what about facing three replicas later on? When facing three replicas, it was almost impossible to win, and ninety-nine percent of the climbers were blocked at this stage.

Therefore, when Tang San scaled to the peak back then, there were simply no followers behind him, and no followers to be seen at all.

When he came back this time, he didn't proceed to scale in an orderly fashion, step by step working his way up. Of course, he could do so, as he had enough confidence. After all, according to his understanding of the Crystal Great Demon Emperor, this being's cloning ability was extremely terrifying, but at the same time, it could only possess three abilities at most, four at the most. Meanwhile, he had eight abilities brought by the bloodline brands. These were impossible for it to clone simultaneously. Therefore, even when facing nine of himself, Tang San had enough confidence.

But the problem was, his body now was like a balloon that had been blown to the limit, a slight touch might cause it to "pop" and explode, bringing about drastic changes.

So, he chose to take out the Crystal Great Demon Emperor's Crystal Mirror, the token of the Crystal Sacred Mountain. Holding this token, it was possible to simulate an ability for a single use, which also signified the Crystal Great Demon Emperor's recognition.

Tang San, holding the Crystal Mirror, slowly climbed upwards, and, as expected, no replicas appeared, nor any illusions. It just let him ascend step by step in peace.

Without any obstructions, this climb gave Tang San an entirely different feeling.

The ground beneath his feet was crystal clear, reflecting his figure, and also reflecting everything in the outside world. This place seemed like a universe of stars in itself, able to reflect all things.

The Crystal Great Demon Emperor was the only Crystal Dragon in history. Thus, this Crystal Sacred Mountain and Crystal Palace were obviously built by him. This strongest emperor, who had lived for as many as three thousand years, was indeed extraordinary! Even with Tang San's profound background, it seemed that he still had some realizations here.

In his previous life, he had a companion named Oscar. Oscar was a food-class Soul Master, and his ability was to make sausages that had various functions, some for recovery, some for detoxification, and some that could help with short-term flying. However, none of these could give him any real fighting capacity. In pursuit of combat ability, he traveled far to the north and finally obtained a powerful ability called Crystal Sausage, which had the capability of mimicry. It could replicate an opponent's abilities to a certain extent, but every time he wanted to change the ability he mimicked, he had to replicate it again. Nonetheless, he could only possess up to eighty percent of the power of the original ability. Thus, he could display a myriad of abilities in battle, but he was never the strongest fighter.

However, in this plane, on the Demon Monster Land, the strongest being, the Crystal Great Demon Emperor, possessed this ability. Except, he could replicate one hundred percent of the opponent's ability power. This was much more powerful than the old Crystal Sausage. What's more, he could replicate three, or even slightly more at a time. Possessing several super-strong abilities at the same time eventually made him the strongest Demon Emperor.

So, where did his replicating ability come from? Was it from space conversion? Or was it time replication? Perhaps, it was a bit of both?

As Tang San continued to climb upward, he mused over this and seemed to have already forgotten his original purpose.

Gradually, he surpassed the mid-mountain point. Just as he continued to climb upwards, a voice suddenly rang out, "Why have you come?" A familiar voice, the familiar aura of the Crystal Great Demon Emperor seemed to permeate over the entire Crystal Sacred Mountain in an instant.

Tang San didn't stop, still continuing to climb up, "Your Majesty, I wish to see you to discuss a matter."
