Soul Land 5: The Rebirth of Tang San

Chapter 604: The Divine Weapon of the Crimson Fox Girls

"It’s called the God-Hunting Crossbow, and I made it specifically for you. The bloodline of the Crimson Fox gives you the ability to create illusions. Whether you’re dodging or fleeing, you have decent abilities. The downside is that you don’t really have any offensive power. This God-Hunting Crossbow, in terms of sheer attack power, is very much a divine weapon. Although it only has three bolts, I’ve imbued each with different abilities. Each use requires me to recharge them, but with your current cultivation, three god-level attacks should be enough."

"Can we use it?" Red One asked, looking at Tang San in surprise.

"One person can't use it alone, but combining the power of all eighteen of you, it’s possible. I've arranged six points on the God-Hunting Crossbow for energy infusion. Form groups of three and inject your power into it to draw and shoot the crossbow. Even without the three bolts, the crossbow itself can generate an energy arrow with considerable attack power. Next, you must practice how to use it properly."

The Crimson Fox girls looked at each other, their pretty faces showing excitement. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

All along, despite their hard work, their cultivation had been slow due to their limited talents. They were sincerely grateful to Tang San; without him, they didn't know what state they’d be in now. But they knew their abilities weren’t enough to help their master.

Now that they had such an opportunity, how could they not be thrilled?

Red One said, "Master, rest assured, we will practice diligently."

Tang San nodded slightly. "I'll now teach you how to use it. You will be responsible for these three bolts; don't use them unless it's critical. The energy arrows generated by the crossbow should be enough for all practical purposes."

With that, Tang San began instructing the Crimson Fox girls on using the God-Hunting Crossbow.

With the Rainbow Skyfire Liquid, Tang San could make this sacred weapon extremely versatile. He could easily improve it in the future, adjusting it based on the girls' cultivation progress and making it even stronger.

During the training of the Crimson Fox girls, Tang San made some adjustments to the God-Hunting Crossbow, making it more suitable for their current cultivation level.

These girls were Tang San's loyal followers. And with the God-Hunting Crossbow, they finally had combat capabilities and could contribute to his goals.

With the girls off to practice, Tang San's next goal naturally shifted to the refinement of the Spacetime Beacon.

Compared to the Heavenly Fire Essence Iron and Black Crow Stone, working with the Spacetime Beacon was far more challenging. It inherently had a powerful slowing effect, constantly affecting everything around it. Making it recognize a master and become a weapon he could control was as difficult as summoning the Sea God’s Trident to his side.

With the Rainbow Skyfire Liquid, the process became somewhat easier. Simply using his divine consciousness to penetrate the Spacetime Beacon would make Tang San's thoughts sluggish due to its influence. By enveloping the Spacetime Beacon with Rainbow Skyfire Liquid, he used the extreme temperature of its flames to distort the Spacetime Beacon’s power in order to gradually infuse his divine consciousness into it. This way, his divine consciousness wouldn't be affected too much, and the speed of the infusion would be greatly increased.

Even so, completely refining the Spacetime Beacon and crafting it into the desired sacred weapon wasn't something that could be done quickly; it would take time and effort.

Of course, if the Rainbow Skyfire Liquid could be strengthened to accommodate more of his divine consciousness and better purify it, the time required to refine the Spacetime Beacon would be reduced. Therefore, when he returned to Kali City, Tang San planned to have the Peacock Demon Clan help him purchase a large quantity of Heavenly Fire Essence Iron.

After completing the refinement of these three treasures, the next step was to enhance himself.

According to Tang San's plan, the transcendent bloodline that could be produced from the fusion of the yin and yang energies was his key focus. But in order to truly fuse them and combine them with the Blue Silver Emperor, his body needed to be strong enough to withstand it.

Thus, his top priority was to enhance his physical constitution. Although he had improved by absorbing the Wind Dragon bloodline, it was still far from enough, and during his time at the Ancestral Court, he hadn't had the time to further enhance himself.

Merging the Golden Mammoth bloodline and the Behemoth bloodline into his energy vortex was the most crucial task. He also wanted to combine the two, which was even more challenging. However, if he succeeded, he was quite certain that he would attain a physique far beyond anyone below godhood.

He now had seven bloodline imprints: Discerning Eye of Heaven, Peacock Demon, Lion-Tiger, Dragon Roc, Chrono Croc, Blue Silver Emperor, and Crystalline. At his ninth-order cultivation, he still had two empty slots.

At this point, the benefit of having empty bloodline imprint slots became evident. After careful consideration, Tang San decided not to use a single imprint to integrate both bloodlines simultaneously, as the difficulty was too great. The risks and uncertainties of directly merging two first-tier bloodlines were beyond his control.

However, if he first integrated them into two separate imprint slots and brought them under control, it would be much easier. Moreover, after the separate fusion, his physical strength would undergo an enhancement. Then, when he merged the two imprints, regardless of which one devoured the other, it would become easier as his body’s endurance increased.

After instructing the Red One and the others to cultivate diligently, Tang San secluded himself in a cave to begin his closed-door cultivation.

This would be his last enhancement of his physical strength before breaking through to godhood.

He first chose to fuse with the Golden Mammoth bloodline. The Golden Mammoth focused on defense; compared to the Behemoth bloodline, it was less violent, making the fusion relatively easier.

After making sure his body was in optimal state, Tang San activated the two long-dormant imprints.

There was no doubt that these two bloodline imprints were at the peak of the ninth order. As first-tier bloodlines, although they had resided within Tang San for a long time, they had not diminished in the slightest, which demonstrated the incredible difference that bloodline tier made.

Under Tang San's guidance, the Golden Mammoth imprint slowly merged into one empty space. With his powerful spiritual power, Tang San began to suppress and slowly integrate it.

Affected by the new imprint, the already existing bloodline imprints immediately lit up one by one.

The Discerning Eye of Heaven almost instantly radiated dazzling brilliance, as if declaring its sovereignty.

Next was the Lion-Tiger Transformation. Infused with the God-Killing Domain, it exuded an imposing aura, creating a sense of mutually increased brilliance with the Discerning Eye of Heaven imprint.

The Peacock Transformation imprint flickered with silver light, unpredictable and seemingly ready to attack at any moment.

The Dragon Roc imprint was relatively more gentle, emitting a faint golden glow.

The Chrono Croc imprint was quiet and still, with only a faint halo flickering with twisted light patterns. After all, it was a second-tier bloodline; sensing the aura of first-tier bloodlines, it did not have much intention to compete.

Crystalline’s imprint was the only one that did not change at all, remaining quietly in its usual position.
