Chapter 216: The Divine Position Is Not for Sitting
"Qin Xiao, don't be too arrogant."
Tang San's eyes were filled with hatred and a crazed killing intent as he stared at Qin Xiao.
If he could, he would tear the person responsible for his misfortunes into pieces.
Yet, with his enemy right in front of him, he felt helpless, a mixture of emotions swirling within him.
The golden barrier separating him from Qin Xiao made Tang San feel like they were in two different worlds.
"Hahaha, are you angry? Don't worry, there's more to infuriate you."
Qin Xiao laughed loudly on Sea God Island, looking extremely pleased with himself.
Then he shifted his gaze to Tang Hao.
"Tang Hao, rest assured. With your sacrifice, I will surely inherit the divine position.
I promise you, once I inherit the divine position, I will clean house for you and bring justice to your rebellious son, Tang San."
However, hearing Qin Xiao's words, Tang Hao's heart was in turmoil, and he felt like cursing.
"Qin Xiao, you can mess with drugs, but you can't mess with words."
"Who the hell asked you to clean house for me!"
"If I could, I'd rather have Tang San gather his strength to destroy you."
Compared to Tang San, Tang Hao wished Qin Xiao dead.
Unfortunately, his body was beyond his control, and he couldn't make a sound, having no choice but to listen to Qin Xiao.
But what Tang Hao thought didn't matter to Qin Xiao, whose aim was to provoke Tang San.
Sure enough, when Qin Xiao glanced at Tang San, he smiled.
Tang San's face was flushed purple like a pig's liver, clearly suffering from internal injuries.
"Tang Hao..."
"They're calling each other so affectionately."
Tang San couldn't understand why his father, supposedly on the same side, would suddenly turn and sacrifice himself to the enemy.
But this question was destined to remain unanswered.
At that moment, Tang Hao's life was ending, his body becoming increasingly transparent and ghostly.
"Finally, I'm free."
Tang Hao's face showed a relieved expression.
After enduring so much torment, his tragic life was finally ending.
What a miserable human experience. He vowed never to return in his next life.
Gradually, under the gaze of Qin Xiao, Bo Saixi, and Tang San, Tang Hao disappeared bit by bit.
At that moment, Tang Hao was like an oil lamp burning its last drop of oil.
However, his sacrifice brought light to Qin Xiao.
Although the golden pillar of light from Tang Hao's sacrifice disappeared, it didn't mean the Sea God's inheritance was over.
On the contrary, it was just beginning.
Tang Hao was merely a catalyst, sacrificing himself to allow the Sea God to channel more divine power and the divine position to Douluo Continent!
Boom!
A thunderous roar erupted from the sky.
Next, a massive rift appeared in the sky.
Everyone looked up, seeing a mysterious world faintly revealed behind the rift.
It was hazy and indistinct.
Even Qin Xiao, Bo Saixi, and Tang San, with their immense power, couldn't see it clearly.
But there was no need to see clearly.
They all knew that the hazy world was the legendary divine realm.
A world filled with gods, where countless powerful beings existed, and Titled Douluo-level experts were like ants.
Swish!
In a moment of daze, a tall, majestic figure appeared behind the rift, waving its hand to send down a golden glow, forming a golden light screen that enveloped the entire Sea God Island.
However, Tang San was in trouble.
The golden light screen protected Sea God Island but posed a threat to Tang San. In the face of this power, he seemed fragile and was blasted far away from Sea God Island.
"Is this the final divine position inheritance?"
Tang San tumbled through the air several times before stabilizing himself.
He looked distantly at Sea God Island, frowning deeply, with purple light flickering in his eyes.
It's worth mentioning that after becoming a god, his Purple Demon Eyes had reached their peak, granting him the ability to see through illusions.
Strangely, he couldn't see what was happening on Sea God Island.
But what did it matter if he couldn't see?
He knew exactly what was happening.
"Hmph, do you think I'll let you peacefully inherit the divine position? Don't dream."
"Even if the old Sea God obstructs me, does that make him invincible?"
"Today, I will turn the impossible into possible and stop you from inheriting the divine position!"
With this thought, he swung the Clear Sky Hammer wildly, launching attack after attack.
"Hao Tian Nine Extremes."
Tang San unleashed a series of secret techniques, including Break, Seal, Bind, and Crash, one after another.
Unlike before, today's techniques were particularly sharp.
With a determined belief in his heart, Tang San was performing beyond his usual capabilities.
Hammer shadows as massive as small mountains continuously struck the golden light barrier as Tang San's heart was filled with anticipation.
The result, however, made Tang San's face twitch uncontrollably.
Break, ineffective!
Crash, ineffective!
Seal, ineffective!
After exhausting all nine techniques, Tang San's eye twitched madly.
His ideal was grand, but reality was cruel.
Not only did he fail to break the barrier, but after using the Haotian Nine Extremes, the barrier didn't even tremble.
Can you believe that?
It was incredibly humiliating!
"I'm also a god; I refuse to believe I can't break this barrier!"
Tang San's eyes widened, and he swung the Clear Sky Hammer, blow after blow.
Unlike the Haotian Nine Extremes, this time, the initial attacks were not as powerful.
But the strength of each subsequent hammer increased, and by the fiftieth blow, the force had surpassed any of the Haotian Nine Extremes.
Tang San was using another secret technique of the Clear Sky Clan, the Chaotic Cloak Hammer Technique.
When accumulated to eighty-one blows, its power far surpassed the Haotian Nine Extremes, becoming a divine skill!
The reason Clear Sky Clan members rarely used this in combat was due to the time it took to accumulate eighty-one blows, and it was easily interrupted.
But now, Tang San's use of this Clear Sky technique was perfect.
After all, the barrier was inanimate; it wouldn't fight back, and he could strike it as he pleased.
Sixty blows, seventy blows, eighty blows...
Soon, Tang San completed the first eighty blows.
At this moment, his momentum reached its peak.
Raising the Clear Sky Hammer, the powerful aura condensed into a terrifying and fierce dragon.
"Break for me!"
Tang San roared, and the Clear Sky Hammer, along with the fierce black dragon, smashed into the barrier simultaneously.
Boom!
This time, Tang San's effort wasn't futile; there was finally a change.
But before Tang San could feel any joy, a powerful counterforce suddenly spread from the Clear Sky Hammer throughout his body, sending him flying.
He flew for nearly half a mile before stabilizing himself, the strong counterforce causing his hands to tremble. More terrifyingly, even his body couldn't withstand it; his hands gripping the hammer's handle were cracked, and blood flowed profusely.
"So difficult!"
"It's really too difficult."
Tang San's mindset was collapsing.
Why was the gap between gods so immense?
...
Meanwhile.
On Sea God Island.
Qin Xiao felt a large amount of divine power pouring into his body.
Hmm...
Then, nothing else happened.
"Something's not right."
"Normally, with so much divine power, my cultivation should start increasing, and my body should transform, right?"
"But now... I feel like a container without a bottom. The divine power enters my body and then disappears..."
Qin Xiao sensed something strange and quickly began an internal inspection.
He was sure it was his mysterious martial spirit causing the anomaly.
The result was...
Both expected and unexpected.
The divine power did enter his body, but it operated differently than when others inherited the divine position.
Others would enhance their physical bodies and improve their cultivation.
But the divine power entering Qin Xiao's body didn't do any of that; it kept gathering towards his mysterious martial spirit.
No.
To be more precise, it was gathering beneath his mysterious martial spirit.
Gradually, a golden seat appeared under his martial spirit.
The golden chair, imbued with a sacred aura, made Qin Xiao feel a sense of awe.
It was clear without a doubt that this chair was formed from the divine position.
"Good heavens, you're using the divine position as a chair? Isn't that a bit much?"
"If the Sea God knew about this, where would he put his face?"
To Qin Xiao, this was akin to stepping on the Sea God's dignity.
Isn't this a bit overboard?
Does the Sea God have no pride?
Of course, Qin Xiao knew that his mysterious martial spirit never cared about so-called deities. If he could simply refine and merge the divine position, it would be truly surprising.
"Bold fool!"
"How dare you commit such an irreverent act? Where do you place the Sea God's dignity?"
Suddenly, a grand voice echoed in Qin Xiao's mind.
Then a golden light formed in his dantian.
A figure clad in golden armor, with a golden helmet and wielding a trident, appeared.
Undoubtedly, this light figure was the Sea God's soul power, representing the Sea God's will.
Qin Xiao wasn't surprised.
The reason he could continuously receive tasks from the Sea God and even modify them was all due to this light figure.
His appearance now was clearly because the mysterious martial spirit had offended him.
After all, granting the divine position to Qin Xiao was a significant act, but Qin Xiao's actions had deeply disappointed him.
Qin Xiao not only showed no gratitude but also used the divine position as a chair. This was like giving someone respect, only for them to use it as a doormat.
This was something the Sea God, accustomed to being revered, could not tolerate.
Even if this was just a remnant soul...
It was still unacceptable!
The Sea God's light figure's face was filled with anger, "You, who offend the Sea God, deserve to die!"
He raised his golden trident, pointing it at the mysterious martial spirit.
At this moment, Qin Xiao watched as if he were enjoying a show, "Tsk tsk, isn't this asking for death? Of all entities to provoke, you chose him."
Qin Xiao was already thinking about how the mysterious martial spirit would destroy the Sea God's light figure.
"Divine position, return!"
Since the divine position wasn't fully integrated with Qin Xiao, the Sea God's light figure could still manipulate it.
He intended to reabsorb the divine position, eliminate Qin Xiao, and restore his dignity.
As the Sea God summoned, the divine position began to react, trembling.
But the most it could do was tremble, as the mysterious martial spirit, like a mountain, firmly suppressed it.
"You are unforgivable."
The Sea God, unable to contain his anger, thrust his golden trident at the mysterious martial spirit, aiming to pierce it.
Despite this battle occurring within Qin Xiao's body and lacking the external grandeur, it was incredibly dangerous at the soul level. A single misstep could result in utter annihilation.
Of course, this was true for evenly matched opponents.
The battle between the mysterious martial spirit and the Sea God's light figure didn't reach that level.
The mysterious martial spirit, with its higher level, ended the fight with a single punch, shattering the Sea God's light figure.
"Ah, this..."
"Wasn't that a bit too quick?"
"Brother, even though it's just a remnant of the Sea God's soul power, couldn't you at least show some mercy? Besides, I haven't even found my snacks yet."
Qin Xiao felt a bit regretful.
However, the mysterious martial spirit, as usual, was aloof. After delivering the punch, it sat back down on the throne formed by the divine position as if nothing had happened.
Qin Xiao regained control of his body.
The next moment, he opened his eyes slowly, finding Bo Saixi's beautiful face close to his.
Even the unique fragrance of a mature woman filled Qin Xiao's nostrils.
"You're awake!"
Bo Saixi's eyes brightened with delight.
But soon, realizing how close she was to Qin Xiao, her eyes flickered with a hint of panic. She quickly stepped back, creating some distance.
Qin Xiao smiled slightly and said, "I'm awake."
"Did you successfully inherit the divine position?" Bo Saixi asked again.
In truth, she was quite nervous.
She felt something different about Qin Xiao; though he didn't exude the typical power, majesty, or aura of a god, he gave off an aura of profound mystery.
"That's a good question."
Qin Xiao chuckled wryly.
In reality, he couldn't clearly define his current state.
The divine position was indeed within him.
But he hadn't merged with it.
In short, it was complicated.
"Never mind, see for yourself."
Qin Xiao said, revealing his cultivation.
Nine spirit rings appeared one by one around him.
One, two, three... seven, eight, nine...
After a long wait, Bo Saixi saw no tenth ring and couldn't help but ask, "Qin Xiao, where's your tenth spirit ring?"
