Chapter 354: The God-Eroding Order
What shocked him even more was that the Golden Trident was a genuine divine artifact.
Yet now, after being covered with a layer of strange blood-red substance, his entire connection to the artifact had been severed.
The Golden Trident could no longer emit any divine aura—it truly had become nothing more than scrap metal.
Realizing the bizarre nature of this ability, Tang San immediately sensed something was wrong.
"You're not a being of Douluo Continent… you're from another plane?"
Tang San asked coldly, sending his divine sense probing toward the Blood Demon once more, but it was deflected by the crimson divine energy surrounding his foe.
The Blood Demon let out a hoarse, mocking laugh.
"Tang San, I didn't expect you to actually find this place. That was beyond my expectations."
"But do you really think that you alone can stop me?"
Tang San ignored the provocation, his mind racing rapidly.
"At first, I suspected the Star Auction Pavilion of meddling with the plane's origin power. But now it's clear—the real threat comes from this being from another world."
The weight in his heart grew heavier.
He had believed everything was tied to the Star Auction Pavilion, but now he realized the depths of Douluo Continent's secrets were far greater than he had imagined.
That there were even outsiders coveting the plane's origin core—this was something he would never allow.
Still, this strange situation left Tang San uneasy.
For nearly ten thousand years, Douluo Continent had been under his absolute watch, without disturbance.
But ever since the Star Auction Pavilion appeared, problem after problem had erupted.
Thus once again, he blamed everything on the Star Auction Pavilion.
If not for them, the continent would still lie firmly within his control.
Now, even having descended in his true form, he found himself at a disadvantage.
He slowly raised his hand, letting the power of the Sea God surge once more. The golden radiance flared like a blazing sun, causing the surrounding space to tremble violently.
"I don't care who you are or what you want. As long as you threaten Douluo Continent, I will never spare you!"
The Blood Demon sneered in disdain.
"Spare me? Tang San, you'd better worry about yourself first!"
With that, he lunged toward Tang San.
Crimson divine energy gathered in his grasp, forming a massive blood-colored blade that slashed downward.
Tang San's eyes narrowed as he dodged the attack.
The crimson blade cleaved into the ground, carving a bottomless chasm that released waves of corrosive energy.
"What terrifying corrosion…"
Tang San thought grimly.
He could feel that if struck, even his divine king-level body would suffer considerable damage.
The two clashed instantly.
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
Golden Sea God energy and blood-red foreign power crashed against each other, their collisions echoing with deafening booms.
Mountains and rivers around them crumbled under the shockwaves.
The once-clear sky darkened, filled with thunderclouds and flashing lightning.
...
In the nearby void, Jiang Li and the Soul Heaven Emperor hid their auras as they watched the divine battle quietly.
"I didn't expect this Blood Demon to be so powerful. Even while heavily injured, he can still fight Tang San to a draw."
The Soul Heaven Emperor's voice carried astonishment.
"But Tang San is holding back. For someone with the power of a God King, he's clearly not going all out."
Jiang Li shook his head, a meaningful glint in his eyes.
"Tang San isn't unwilling to unleash his full power—he's testing. He's probing for the Blood Demon's background while guarding against hidden enemies."
"After all, he just arrived and knows nothing about his opponent. Caution is only natural."
Jiang Li knew Tang San's nature too well—the man's mind was always full of calculation.
Facing an unknown interplanar powerhouse, of course he would keep a trump card.
He paused, then continued, "Besides, have you noticed?"
"The Blood Demon's attacks look fierce, but his divine power is depleting quickly. He won't be able to sustain this much longer."
"Once his energy runs dry—that will be Tang San's moment to strike."
The Soul Heaven Emperor observed closely and indeed noticed the crimson divine power around the Blood Demon had thinned compared to earlier.
"So this means the battle is about to end?"
Jiang Li smirked. "Not necessarily. Don't forget, inside the sealed space are still the Demon Empress and the recovering Deep Sea Demon Whale King."
"They won't just sit back and watch the Blood Demon be defeated. They're bound to intervene."
"Individually they may not stand a chance against Tang San, but with the cunning Blood Demon waiting for an opening, Tang San might still find himself in real trouble."
"When that happens, things will get interesting."
As soon as he finished speaking, a surge of dark divine power erupted from within the sealed space.
A heartbeat later, the Demon Empress burst out, clutching a black token which she hurled at Tang San.
"Tang San, taste the 'God-Eroding Order'!"
Excitement flickered in her eyes. The Blood Demon had given her this artifact specifically for a critical strike.
The God-Eroding Order was one of his trump cards—it could corrode divine bodies and cause continuous damage.
Those struck by it would suffer greater injuries the longer it lingered, eventually melting into a pool of blood.
The black token exploded midair, transforming into countless tiny black insects that rushed toward Tang San.
Each insect radiated intense toxicity—so corrosive that even a God King's divine sense would be eroded upon contact.
Tang San's face darkened. He hastily channeled Sea God power, forming a golden barrier before him.
"Boom!"
The black swarm struck the golden shield, releasing a sharp sizzling sound.
Instantly, countless tiny holes appeared on the barrier.
"Another corrosive force!"
Tang San's heart sank.
He could feel that the corrosiveness of these black insects even surpassed the Blood Demon's divine power.
If they clung to him, the outcome would be disastrous.
At that very moment, the Blood Demon seized the opportunity.
His blade radiated a dense crimson gleam as he lunged forward, slashing toward Tang San's exposed flank.
Tang San found himself under attack from both sides.
For a moment, he was forced onto the defensive.
"Looks like you were right, Pavilion Master—the Demon Empress has joined the fight!" said the Soul Heaven Emperor excitedly. "Tang San's in trouble now. Can he handle this?"
Jiang Li smiled faintly. "Relax. Tang San didn't become a God Realm enforcer so easily. This kind of predicament won't defeat him."
"But I do want to see the extent of his suffering."
An enigmatic smile formed on Jiang Li's lips.
At the same time, curiosity flickered in his eyes—toward that strange God-Eroding Order.
It was clearly something crafted by the Blood Demon himself.
...
Just as the crimson blade was about to strike Tang San—
Tang San suddenly pivoted, condensing his divine power into a golden spear that thrust forward.
The strike was lightning-fast and targeted precisely at the Blood Demon's weak spot.
The Blood Demon's face changed drastically. He hastily recalled his crimson blade to block.
"Clang!"
The golden spear and crimson blade clashed, producing a sharp, echoing chime.
The Blood Demon staggered backward, spitting a mouthful of blood.
"It seems your injuries are even graver than I thought,"
Tang San said coldly, a cruel glint in his eyes.
