Soul Land V: Rebirth of Tang San

"You're so silly, really so silly, so silly! What if you get lost in the universe? What if that bit of your divine consciousness dissipates?"

In this lifetime, Tang San had never told Pretty Girl that he came to this plane to find her at the cost of emotional sacrifice. He also never told her that the fall of the First-Generation God King could very well just dissipate in the universe.

What cost he had paid to find her, Pretty Girl did not know, but how could Xiaowu, who had been with him for so many years, not understand what he had done.

"Without you, what's the meaning of eternal life?" Tang San gently smiled, lightly stroking her long hair. Just like that, he bathed in the thunder, braiding her long hair into the beloved scorpion braid she adored in her past life.

His movements were gentle and familiar. His face was filled with endless affection for her.

His Xiaowu had finally returned, returned...

The two held each other tightly like this, and the thunder in the sky gradually subsided. The lightning tribulation was about to pass, and after being baptized by the great tribulation of heaven and earth, they had truly become emperors of this plane.

Ascending thousands of meters, the great tribulation of heaven and earth also directly made them the peak existence of emperors on this plane.

"Can our family finally be reunited? Brother San, can we go home now? I miss them so much." Xiaowu choked up and said.

"Of course, we'll be going home soon. But before that, there are some matters on this plane that nurtured your second life that need to be dealt with."

As the thunder gradually came to an end, Tang San and Xiaowu's figures in the high sky also became clearer. Until this moment, the sovereigns below gradually came back to their senses.

Over a dozen sovereigns, they had all passed this step, Crossing the Tribulation to Become an Emperor, but after witnessing Tang San and Pretty Girl's tribulation, they all felt as if they had gone through a fake tribulation themselves.

That feeling just now, with the sky full of thunder and the entire plane seemingly about to overturn, was it a lightning tribulation?

Was such a lightning tribulation really something an existence about to ascend to becoming an emperor could withstand?

Even Great Demon Emperor Heavenly Fox was slightly dazed, not quite understanding what had just happened.

However, the two figures in the air remained clear, not destroyed by the shocking lightning tribulation just now. What did this mean? It meant they had successfully crossed the tribulation and officially became emperors.

The sky gradually turned clear again, the earth returned to calm, yet the shock within the Ancestral Court still left every citizen of the Monster Clan and Spirit Clan in awe.

In the sky, Tang San and Pretty Girl descended from above, slowly descending.

The sovereigns' divine consciousness immediately fell upon them.

What puzzled all the sovereigns was that they couldn't feel any power from Tang San and Pretty Girl because their divine consciousness couldn't detect their current state clearly. Even their appearances were somewhat blurred.

At this moment, a layer of blurred light and shadow seemed to be on their faces, making their appearances unclear, much like Tianyang Spirit King's.

Various sovereigns flew up, greeting Tang San and Pretty Girl.

Though they couldn't see through their cultivation base now, they could guess that having crossed such an Emperor Tribulation, their power was definitely not as simple as ordinary emperors.

And only then did the distant Quasi Emperor, Light Dragon King Xu Anyu, fly over.

During Tang San and Pretty Girl's lightning tribulation, the overwhelming pressure had directly pinned him to the ground, unable to take flight. Now that the pressure was gone, he rushed over as quickly as possible.

"Congratulations to both on becoming emperors."

"Congratulations to Your Majesties on becoming emperors!" the Ancestral Court Imperial Guards stationed nearby shouted in unison, bowing towards Tang San and Pretty Girl.

Soon after, a grand wave of sound echoed throughout the Ancestral Court, "Congratulations to Your Majesties on becoming emperors."

Tang San nodded slightly, saying, "Thanks to all the Eminences for the congratulations. However, our Emperor Tribulation is not yet complete."

The sovereigns were all taken aback. Ascending through the tribulation, ascending to the position of emperor, having their bodies transformed by the Heaven Earth Tribulation, they were already true emperors!

Tang San continued, "I heard from my grandfather that there are three tribulations to break through and become an emperor during the Emperor Tribulation. Usually, having passed the first two, one is already an emperor. But today, I want to, together with my wife, go through this third Emperor Tribulation."

The third Emperor Tribulation?

Upon hearing this, the sovereigns were first taken aback, some even having forgotten that there was a third Emperor Tribulation. Because it had been unknown how many years since anyone had done this. The last to do so was the Crystal Great Demon Emperor.

Only, the Crystal Great Demon Emperor had attempted this third one hundreds of years after having passed the first two Heavenly Tribulations, and ultimately succeeded.

The White Tiger Great Demon King couldn't help but say, "You two have just become emperors. You need to consolidate yourselves, how can you attempt this third Emperor Tribulation? Don't rush. Rest first and prepare well."

Tang San sighed lightly, saying, "Time waits for no one! Rather than picking a day, let's do it today."

As he said this, his volume rose a little as he glanced around at all the sovereigns, then solemnly declared, "Today, Little Beauty and I will Stepping on the Emperor Ascending to Heaven together!"

Yes, the third Emperor Tribulation was called: Stepping on the Emperor Ascending to Heaven.

It referred to when an emperor wanted to rule the Ancestral Court and become its Lord, they needed to challenge all the emperors, and continuously challenge without resting in between. If they could triumph in one go over all the emperors, they could ascend in a single step, becoming Lord of the Ancestral Court.

Back then, the Crystal Great Demon Emperor had attempted to Stepping on the Emperor Ascending to Heaven and succeeded, becoming the First Emperor. However, her success was quite reluctant; at that time, many emperors had just recently ascended. In her era, she was the oldest, having the longest cultivation time, with the older emperors having fallen not long before. It was entirely different from the current flourishing state of the Ancestral Court.

Tang San and Pretty Girl, who had just become emperors, actually wanted to Stepping on the Emperor Ascending to Heaven, to take charge of the Ancestral Court. None of the emperors present had expected this.

Great Demon Emperor Heavenly Fox said in a deep voice, "You have to think clearly. Stepping on the Emperor Ascending to Heaven might allow you to ascend in one step, but if you fail, you'll be severely punished by the Ancestral Court, being suppressed for a hundred years, unable to cultivate."

Tang San calmly said, "Yes, we have thought it through. Your Eminences can choose one or more to act. One-on-one, I'll take it; two-on-two, my wife and I will take it together."

Tianyang Spirit King couldn't help but say, "Jin Miaolin, don't get too inflated. You've just become emperors, consolidating your cultivation is extremely important. Once suppressed for a hundred years, you might never reach the peak of emperors."

Tang San smiled, "Your Eminence worries too much. You know me well, have I ever done anything I'm not confident in?"

Tianyang Spirit King was slightly taken aback, frowning slightly.

Great Demon Emperor Heavenly Fox narrowed his eyes, saying, "Alright, since you want to Stepping on the Emperor Ascending to Heaven, then prepare to start. On behalf of the Ancestral Court, I accept your request. Please both ascend."

"Alright." Tang San agreed, holding Xiaowu's hand as they ascended into the sky again.

White Tiger Great Demon King opened his mouth but it was too late to stop them. But recalling their tribulation's grand spectacle earlier, could it be that they really were confident now to face any level of emperor?

White Tiger Great Demon King couldn't help but turn to look at the Undying Great Demon Emperor, who hadn't spoken earlier.

The Undying Great Demon Emperor at this moment was also frowning, seeming to be contemplating something.

He noticed that when this grandson-in-law of his was speaking earlier, their aura had already changed somewhat. Even with his peak Great Demon Emperor cultivation, he felt somewhat intimidated by their presence.

"Crystal Phoenix Great Demon Emperor, please accept the challenge," Great Demon Emperor Heavenly Fox said solemnly.
