Tang San angrily declared, "This person not only steals my immortal herbs but also disrespects a God King, adding another crime to his tally!"
Standing atop the clouds of the God Realm, Tang San gazed at the events unfolding in the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, his expression growing increasingly grim.
Tang San placed great importance on the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, fully aware of the power of its immortal herbs.
Any ordinary person, as long as they weren't hopelessly useless, could undergo a transformation by absorbing a single immortal herb, surpassing the talent of those born with full innate soul power and gaining the potential to become a god.
These geniuses with god-becoming potential, once they ascended to godhood, would inevitably focus on their homeland, Douluo Star, greatly affecting Tang San's control over Douluo Continent.
In Tang San's view, the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well was an unstable factor, but he was reluctant to destroy such a treasure.
To prevent geniuses with god-becoming potential from popping up every now and then, Tang San had gone to great lengths.
Before ascending to the God Realm, he deliberately planted a large number of Jade Phosphor Seven Absolute Flowers around the valley of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well to conceal it.
He also sealed off information about the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, making it unknown to the world.
From then on, the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well became Tang San's private property.
But now, someone had broken through the seal, entered the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, and was plundering immortal herbs.
Tang San observed the person clad in level 9 soul tool armor, wielding a soul tool spear, his brows furrowing tightly. He thought darkly to himself, "Such astonishing talent. He seems to be only about fifteen years old, yet he has Soul Sage cultivation.
He's even condensed a soul core, with an exceptionally strong physique and mental power, and his combat strength is remarkable. The hundred-thousand-year immortal herbs in the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well are no match for him, surpassing even my talent at his age.
Moreover, this person is from the Sun Moon Empire, yet he's now in the Douluo Three Kingdoms. It's highly likely he's connected to the events from three days ago."
Since discovering the sharp decline in the destiny child's luck and the changes in the luck of several nations, Tang San had kept his attention on Douluo Continent, searching for who had disrupted his plans.
After some investigation, Tang San learned that around the time the destiny child's luck plummeted, a Sun Moon Empire individual had killed Shrek Academy's dean, Yan Shaozhe, and severely injured Taotie Douluo Xuanzi.
Tang San wasn't a fool; he naturally connected these two events.
He listed the Sun Moon Empire person who killed Yan Shaozhe and injured Xuanzi as the prime suspect for causing the destiny child's luck to drop and ruining his plans.
For the past three days, Tang San had been searching for suspicious Sun Moon Empire individuals, but Wang Chen had been recovering in the undead demiplane, so Tang San hadn't found him.
Now that Wang Chen had left the undead demiplane and was moving about, it was only a matter of time before Tang San noticed him.
Seeing Wang Chen's full set of level 9 soul tools, Tang San immediately equated him with the Sun Moon Empire person who killed Yan Shaozhe.
Tang San then began observing Wang Chen's fate. Since the original destiny child's luck had plummeted, the lost luck wouldn't vanish into thin air but would transfer to someone else, possibly even creating a new destiny child.
Tang San even suspected that the world's will, having detected his interception and manipulation of the original destiny child, might have spawned a new destiny child.
After observing, Tang San found only chaos, which further convinced him that this person was the new destiny child. Only a destiny child's fate would be so elusive.
It had taken him a long time to figure out the original destiny child.
Tang San thought darkly to himself, "Worthy of a destiny child, indeed with profound fortune, even finding the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.
In the future, his opportunities will likely be endless. If he continues to grow like this, it won't be long before a god in the God Realm takes notice, passing down a divine position, allowing him to break through level 100 and become a new god."
At this thought, Tang San's face darkened, his mood instantly souring.
The new destiny child was powerful and, crucially, not under his control. If he became a god, it would greatly impact Tang San's control over Douluo Star, something he could not tolerate.
Tang San faced two paths: the first was to find a way to bring the new destiny child under his command. The second was to erase him.
Tang San rubbed his brow, pondering.
"The new destiny child is not far from reaching the pinnacle of Douluo Continent. Even if I wanted Xiao Qi to approach him and control him through the means I left on her, it's impossible.
Xiao Qi's strength is too weak; in the short term, she can't get close to this new destiny child. So… the only option is the second path, to eliminate this new destiny child."
In an instant, killing intent flashed in Tang San's eyes, a chilling murderous aura that sent shivers down the spine.
Having made his decision, Tang San quickly began planning.
Since gods couldn't directly interfere in the lower realm, he couldn't act personally and had to use the power of Douluo Continent's natives to kill Wang Chen.
Tang San thought darkly to himself, "There's my temple on Sea God Island in the ocean. Later, through the mark of faith, I'll quietly have the current high priest of Sea God Island take action to deal with the destiny child. A level 99 Limit Douluo powerhouse is more than enough to ensure the destiny child has no place to be buried."
Tang San's move, if not swift as thunder, was certainly decisive.
He knew clearly that this person's talent was too great. If not dealt with early, once a god in the God Realm took notice and passed down a divine position, it would be troublesome.
According to God Realm rules, gods could provide some assistance to their divine position inheritors. In practice, some shameless gods, while not descending themselves, were you're welcome with divine artifacts and divine power support.
With divine artifacts and divine power, even without breaking through level 100, they'd surpass a level 99 Limit Douluo.
Thus, he had to be erased quickly! No more chances for this destiny child to grow.
If he grew to the level of a Limit Douluo, it would be difficult to deal with.
......
Heavenly Soul Empire, Sunset Forest, Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.
The Aromatic Silk Beauty, because Wang Chen stole the book Tang San entrusted to it and disrespected Tang San, trembled with anger, its petals shaking, barely able to speak.
The other immortal herbs, hearing Wang Chen's disrespect toward the Sea God, also began loudly condemning him.
Clearly, in the hearts of these immortal herbs, Tang San held a high status.
Hearing the immortal herbs buzzing in his ears, Wang Chen frowned.
He thought darkly to himself, "These immortal herbs have stayed in the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well too long, with shallow experience and few chances to fight, failing to see the gap in strength between us."
Thinking this, Wang Chen gripped the God-Suppressing Spear, his soul core surging wildly, pouring vast soul power into the spear. Then, he aimed a strike at the clamoring immortal herbs.
Spatial Imprisonment!
Seeing Wang Chen use this move again, Youyou immediately warned, "Everyone, be careful!"
Facing Wang Chen's attack, the immortal herbs unleashed various techniques—some spewed fire, some ice, some beams—but they were useless against Spatial Imprisonment.
When time is not in play, space reigns supreme. These immortal herbs lacked the strength and understanding of spatial power to counter Wang Chen's Super Douluo-level natal soul tool, the God-Suppressing Spear.
Not only could they not counter it, they couldn't even dodge, as plant-type soul beasts rooted in the ground couldn't move.
To better absorb nutrients, the immortal herbs were all clustered around the spring. With one strike, Wang Chen's Spatial Imprisonment bound all the immortal herbs.
Wang Chen wielded the God-Suppressing Spear, its sharp spear light grazing the petals or leaves of all the immortal herbs, nearly scaring them to death.
Wang Chen said coldly, "This is the gap in strength between you and me. Killing you would take just one strike."
Wang Chen's cold words echoed over the paradisiacal Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, making the immortal herbs tremble and shiver.
Even the fiery-tempered Blazing Apricot fell silent.
The Aromatic Silk Beauty, seeing that all the immortal herbs combined were no match for this human, felt they were about to be plucked clean or even turned into soul rings and soul bones.
The other immortal herbs despaired, some of the more timid ones crying loudly, "Don't kill us! It wasn't easy for us to grow, waaah!"
The Aromatic Silk Beauty pleaded with Wang Chen, "Lord, as long as you don't kill us, everything is negotiable."
For a moment, the many pleas mixed together, as the immortal herbs recognized the gap between them and Wang Chen.
Wang Chen thought darkly to himself, "As expected, holding a spear to someone's head is the best way to talk."
Seeing the immortal herbs yield, Wang Chen said, "Considering how hard it was for you immortal herbs to grow, I'll spare your lives this time.
But I'll take your immortal herb essences. Additionally, I'll collect a large amount of spiritual medicines and other materials."
Hearing their lives were spared, the immortal herbs all sighed in relief. Though the essences were important, they paled compared to their lives, as they could condense a bit of essence every year.
Wang Chen released the Spatial Imprisonment and said to the immortal herbs, "Hand over your essences willingly. Don't make me do it myself, or it won't just be the essences."
Hearing Wang Chen, all the immortal herbs promptly handed over their essences, the entire process taking less than three seconds.
The Aromatic Silk Beauty's Heart of Silk, the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass's Frost Dew, the Blazing Apricot's Scorching Gel, the Earth Dragon Golden Gourd's Treasure Pearl, the Autumn Water Dew…
Wang Chen, seeing the immortal herbs obediently hand over their essences, didn't trouble them further.
Then Wang Chen took out the book left by Tang San from his storage soul tool and began reading.
With his powerful mental power at the tangible and substantial realm, Wang Chen could easily memorize everything he saw.
In just a few dozen seconds, he memorized the entire book's contents.
Methods of using poison, the appearances and effects of various immortal and poisonous herbs, and how to harvest and preserve them.
And pill formulas, detailed with required material quantities and refining methods, all clearly written.
Besides the Qiankun Creation Pill formula, there were many other useful formulas—for healing, enhancing mental power, improving physique, boosting potential… Wang Chen gained immensely.
After memorizing the entire book, Wang Chen first collected materials for the Qiankun Creation Pill.
After gathering those, he began collecting materials for other useful pills.
Wang Chen was fast, but because the number of materials was vast, with different harvesting methods and preservation needs,
for example, ten-thousand-year White Jade Ginseng required harvesting without the slightest damage to avoid losing potency… the process took Wang Chen considerable time.
As Wang Chen harvested and stored the materials in his storage soul tool, the immortal herbs watched with tearful eyes, heartbroken, but they dared not stop him.
After Wang Chen's harvesting, the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well's materials were greatly reduced. However, he left the roots for all the herbs.
With the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well's unique tenfold growth speed, it wouldn't take long for these herbs to grow back.
After collecting the materials, Wang Chen carefully probed the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well again.
He found the sleeping Ice and Fire Dragon Souls but not a single soul bone. Thinking it over, if there were Ice and Fire Dragon King soul bones, Tang San would have taken them long ago; how could he leave them for others? Was Tang San, a God King, blind?
Even if Tang San's divine sense couldn't detect them, non-divine powerhouses certainly couldn't.
Finding nothing, Wang Chen didn't waste time staying to refine pills, as it would take considerable time and required a level 9 soul tool alchemy furnace.
Wang Chen had more important things to do, like spending an hour traveling to the Extreme North to obtain a second martial soul and attach soul rings.
Wang Chen activated his level 9 flying soul tool, turning into a streak of light and vanishing.
Seeing Wang Chen fly away, the immortal herbs sighed in relief.
The Blazing Apricot, looking at the emptied Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, said angrily, "Greedy human, why didn't divine punishment strike him dead?
He took so many herbs and my ten-thousand-year accumulated precious Scorching Gel, all stolen by that damned human."
The Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass said listlessly to the Blazing Apricot, "When that human was here, why didn't you say anything? What's the use of complaining now?
Think carefully about what to do if this human comes back. This time he only took our essences; next time, he might want our soul rings and soul bones."
The Blazing Apricot angrily said, "What did you say!"
The Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass replied, "I'm tired. I don't want to argue with you today. I'm going to sleep."
The Blazing Apricot, holding in a bellyful of anger, said, "Stinking Octagonal, don't sleep. I want to duel you!"
The Aromatic Silk Beauty, exasperated, shrugged its petals, trying to mediate, "Octagonal, Jiao, stop fighting."
......…
At the same time, above the boundless ocean, Sea God Island Temple.
Level 99 Limit Douluo powerhouse and High Priest Song Jie knelt devoutly, listening to the guidance of Sea God Lord Tang San.
Moments later, Song Jie's eyes sharpened as he looked toward Douluo Continent, then turned into a blue light, crossing the ocean toward the mainland.
