Soul Land 5: The Rebirth of Tang San

Chapter 239: The Fusion of Peacock Transformation

Chapter 239: The Fusion of Peacock Transformation

Both Tang San and Du Bai had the same Celestial Fox Transformation, but the control exhibited by Tang San was on a completely different level. Tang San didn’t need protection from anyone to achieve his breakthrough.

At this moment, his Discerning Eye of Heaven officially evolved to the fifth order.

Following the evolution of the Discerning Eye of Heaven, a burst of blue light erupted from his dantian the next moment. The Wind Tiger bloodline imprint was right at the peak of the sixth order, and it easily and immediately broke through the barrier and reached the seventh order.

Once that was done, Tang San’s aura fell for a few moments as he connected with the bridge between heaven and earth.

Then, a golden silhouette emerged behind him, its wings unfurling in a blaze of gold as if roaring toward the heavens.

With a wave of Zhang Haoxuan's hand, a wall of fire rose, blocking the view of the Crimson Fox girls. He naturally sensed that Tang San was now pushing his various bloodline imprints to the next level. Even though these Crimson Fox girls might not fully understand what they were witnessing, it was better to prevent them from seeing too much.

Meanwhile, Zhang Haoxuan himself stared intently at Tang San. He was well aware that what he was witnessing right now was an extraordinary scene, something that had never happened in the entire history of the Daemon Continent.

The Golden Roc's wings solidified gradually, a sharp aura piercing the sky and slicing through the vast expanse. The golden light slowly retracted as the Golden Roc Transformation reached the sixth order, further enhancing its speed.

After the Golden Roc Transformation breakthrough, everything around Tang San seemed to slow down, as if time itself was becoming viscous. Yet the next instant, everything around him seemed to accelerate, and the rate at which he absorbed the natural essence of heaven and earth suddenly surged.

The Golden Saplings beside Tang San grew at a speed visible to the naked eye; in just a moment, they were a whole inch taller.

The silhouette of the Chrono Croc slowly emerged. Its body began to swell, its scales became increasingly thick, and it radiated a soft halo. In its eyes, light rotated clockwise to the left and counterclockwise on the right, and under its aura, it felt as if time became elusive and uncertain.

A point of golden light shone on Tang San's forehead, and the silhouette of the Chrono Croc suddenly accelerated its evolution. Once its form stabilized, the Chrono Croc abruptly turned and flew back into Tang San's forehead, disappearing without a trace.

The Chrono Croc Transformation reached the sixth order as well, and with that, one more breakthrough was complete.

The breakthroughs of both the Golden Roc Transformation and the Chrono Croc Transformation were smooth, obviously because Tang San had already reached the seventh order of cultivation and had connected the bridge between heaven and earth, making his endurance much greater than before.

The dual cores—soul core and spirit core—that resonated with each other allowed his endurance to soar. In an endurance match, it would now take a god-level being to outlast him.

By this point, the breakthrough process was more than halfway done. Four of the six bloodline imprints had achieved their breakthrough.

The next moment, a cluster of yellow light was removed from the energy vortex in Tang San’s dantian; under his control, the Flash Leopard bloodline imprint was pushed out and dissipated into the air.

The eager silver light cluster instantly burst with brilliant light, and under Tang San's guidance, it filled the empty position. As it took its place, it illuminated not only Tang San's entire dantian, but even the area on a five-meter radius around him.

The proud cry of a bird followed, causing the aura around Tang San to fluctuate violently.

Zhang Haoxuan watched in shock as silver light continuously flickered around Tang San's body, followed by the emergence of spatial cracks in the void.

It seemed that under Tang San's careful control, these spatial cracks did not appear near the Golden Saplings. Still, they were becoming more numerous and unstable, continuously slicing through the air and distorting space.

What the... This is... No way he did what I think he did....

On Tang San's forehead, streaks of golden light began to emerge, seemingly containing the power of space. They constantly twisted and trembled as if they were about to tear his body apart. However, the brightest point of golden light at the center deterred these distorted spatial fluctuations from causing destructive effects.

One by one, splendid peacock feathers slowly unfurled behind Tang San, blooming in full glory like a peacock's wheel of light.

Peacock Transformation! He has even acquired the Peacock Transformation! He must’ve absorbed it from Mei Gongzi...

Zhang Haoxuan gulped hard. The spectacle in front of his eyes only served to reinforce his view of Tang San as an unfathomably deep pool.

Celestial Fox, Peacock Demon, Chrono Croc, Golden Roc—aren't all of these top-tier existences? Especially the Celestial Fox and Peacock Demon, both bloodlines have produced Demon Emperors! What does it mean for all humanity when such bloodlines appear simultaneously in one human?

Zhang Haoxuan didn’t even notice that his breathing was becoming heavier. His eyes brightened, seeing a real hope for humanity's rise in Tang San. If previously his hope was but a personal fantasy, now, that fantasy was clearly beginning to turn into reality!

If Tang San can reach the god level in the future, what kind of power will he acquire?

The silver light fluctuated intensely and unstably as a battle for dominance began within Tang San's dantian.

Upon its appearance, the overwhelmingly strong silver light cluster instantly pressed towards the Discerning Eye of Heaven, attempting to seize the primary position.

This phenomenon caused Tang San to feel a twinge in his heart—he remembered very well how the Celestial Fox bloodline imprint behaved after he integrated it. Now, it was happening all over again.

As a proud first-tier bloodline, the Peacock Transformation was unwilling to sit below others, even other first-tier bloodlines. This was especially true since the Celestial Fox imprint was only at the fifth order, while the new Peacock imprint was at the seventh. How could a seventh-order Peacock Transformation allow a fifth-order Celestial Fox Transformation to surpass it?

The two imprints immediately began to collide fiercely. This made the aura around Tang San become even more unstable.

The peacock feathers behind his head gathered together, and a peacock silhouette slowly emerged. Opposite the peacock silhouette, the Two-Tailed Celestial Fox reappeared. Both sides took a hard stance against each other, neither giving an inch.

The seventh-order Peacock Transformation was somewhat more assertive. Seven dazzlingly colorful feathers emitted layers of intense silver light, causing the silhouette of the Celestial Fox to start becoming somewhat ethereal.

However, the Celestial Fox Transformation was not to be outdone. It continuously drew spiritual energy from Tang San's spirit core to replenish itself, refusing to relinquish its original position.

While the Celestial Fox Transformation itself was not as high-order as the Peacock Transformation, Tang San's spiritual power was at the level of a powerful ninth-order demon, and the Celestial Fox Transformation had played a crucial role in forming the spirit core. Borrowing spiritual power was naturally effortless.

Tang San's body was in turmoil as the two sides faced off.

Then... a faint blue halo suddenly emerged from the spot of golden light on Tang San's forehead. A light blue human silhouette, holy and ethereal, appeared behind him, right between the seven-feathered peacock and the two-tailed fox.

In that instant, Zhang Haoxuan's body stiffened, and everything seemed to freeze around him.

The silhouette rose its hands and placed them on the heads of the peacock and the fox. Both trembled slightly before turning into light and returning to Tang San's body.

Inside Tang San's dantian, the two lights became docile again, with the Celestial Fox Transformation in the first position and the Peacock Transformation in the second. They were no longer fighting, and each was stable in its place.

On Tang San's forehead, the point of golden light quickly connected the twisted patterns of light, forming them into a shape. It was the shape of a golden crown resting upon his brow.

Yes, it was the Peacock Crown, symbolizing the most pure bloodline of the Peacock Demon lineage!

The blue silhouette behind Tang San returned to his forehead and disappeared. Tang San's aura surged again, and the shattered space and cracks around him quickly closed and dissipated.

The integration of the seventh-order Peacock Demon imprint was complete.

Tang San had learned from his previous experience, and instead of letting them fight, he summoned a bit of his divine consciousness from the get-go. The result was that he intimidated the two major bloodlines into instant submission.

How could the divine consciousness of a God King be something that two bloodline remnants could contend with?

With that, the fifth imprint was taken care of, and right now, Tang San only had one last imprint left to evolve.

In fact, due to his breakthrough to the seventh order, he had also gained an additional slot. However, he did not intend to fill this vacant slot immediately; he was reserving it for the future. If a suitable Demonic God Transformation arose, he could integrate it then and there to enhance his strength. Keeping a slot open was the best strategy.

Strands of blue vines swiftly emerged from Tang San's body, entwining with the Golden Saplings within the Spirit Summoning Array.

A pale blue halo appeared around Tang San, instantly connecting him to the life essence of the Golden Saplings through the vines. At this moment, life energy communicated with life energy. The Spirit Summoning Array shone brightly, and the spiritual energy in the sky instantly became denser.

The spiritual energy of heaven and earth began to converge in a funnel shape once more, this time flowing into the Golden Saplings in a massive stream.

The Blue Silver Emperor was the sovereign of plants in Tang San’s previous life. In this life, although his Blue Silver Emperor could not yet compare to its former glory, he was carefully cultivating it in such a way that it had already acquired some of the old Blue Silver Emperor’s essence.

The Golden Saplings had immense life energy and even more extraordinary potential. The spiritual energy of heaven and earth that they absorbed could be perfectly transformed into life energy, allowing them to grow and possess even greater vitality.

At this moment, Tang San was using his Blue Silver Emperor to stimulate the Golden Saplings. It was a virtuous circle—the Blue Silver Emperor had to absorb both life energy and a vast amount of spiritual energy of heaven and earth to replenish itself as it advanced. With the assistance of the Spirit Summoning Array, it was drawing in massive amounts of energy, which allowed it to nourish the Golden Saplings as well. At the same time, the life energy they generated nourished the Blue Silver Emperor.

If he had done the same thing with just the pieces of Golden Wood, it would have been counterproductive, like trying to help plants grow by pulling them up. But with the Spirit Summoning Array present and the pieces of wood having grown roots by now, it was entirely feasible.

Tang San's Blue Silver Emperor emitted a blue-golden halo that grew brighter and brighter. The Golden Saplings grew at a ridiculous speed, sprouting branches that gradually began to intertwine as they climbed toward the heavens.

The already vast life energy around them only grew vaster and denser.

Finally, the Golden Saplings’ vitality was enough to allow them to evolve to the next level. Under Tang San’s careful guidance, the Golden Saplings slowly merged into a small tree.

The Golden Tree was thus born, and it radiated every bit of the radiance that Tang San so well remembered.
