Soul Land V: Rebirth of Tang San-Chapter 1041 - 1039: The Clash of Emperors

Tang San himself was not worried at all; even without the Ferocious Dragon, he still had other methods to cope. However, if the Ancestral Court did not allow him to use the Ferocious Dragon, there must be a justification for it. As for how to make the decision, it would be best left to the Emperors of the Tianyu Empire and the Rihchen Empire to compete for. With the communication he had just had with the Tianyang Spirit King, they certainly wouldn’t let him suffer too much loss.

Having secured victories in the previous two matches, the likelihood that he would advance from the round-robin tournament had greatly increased. Everything was also going smoothly for Pretty Girl, so, for the moment, everything was looking up.

At this time, the various Emperors in the Ancestral Court were also urgently discussing the situation of the recent match while the competition venue was being restored.

"From the situation of the recent match, it was indeed unfair. The combination of Jin Miaolin and the Ferocious Dragon is equivalent to having the power of two Great Demon Kings stacked together, and what’s more, there was a certain amplification reaction between their attributes, making them even stronger. They have even reached the threshold of Emperors. Allowing them to continue in the tournament like this is truly unfair to the other contestants," said the Mammoth Great Demon Emperor. It was inappropriate for the Sky-breaking Great Demon Emperor to speak out, but his close friend had no such reservations.

"It is indeed somewhat unfair. If this continues, not to mention the round-robin matches, even in the final showdown, one of the three spots will surely be taken by him," said the Dark Demon Great Demon Emperor solemnly, another Great Demon Emperor.

Although Tang San had not yet competed against the contestant from the Dark Devil Dragon Clan, they would have to face each other at some point. If they could get rid of the Ferocious Dragon now, preventing him from using it later on, and considering that he had already defeated contestants from Jin Anguo and Lu Fuyao, it would naturally be greatly advantageous for the Dark Devil Dragon contestant.

"You can’t say it like that, though. The rules were set by the Ancestral Court, and Jin Miaolin did not violate them; everything was done according to the Court’s requirements. What reason do we now have to forbid his use of the Ferocious Dragon? It was you, the Dragon Clan, who decided to auction the Ferocious Dragon. You are the ones who made the money from it," said the Earth Yin Spirit King indifferently.

This Spirit King was not in a very good mood at the moment, as the contestant representing the Dark Moon Spirit Clan had just lost to Pretty Girl. Seeing that the Great Demon Kings were about to target the contestants from the Spirit Monster side, without needing a cue from the Tianyang Spirit King, she had already expressed her opinion.

"Let’s all have a say," the Great Demon Emperor Heavenly Fox did not make a clear stance but merely signaled for the Emperors to express their views.

"Brother Tianyang, what do you think?" said the Great Demon Emperor Heavenly Fox to the Tianyang Spirit King.

The opinion of the Tianyang Spirit King, the strongest in the Rihchen Empire, was naturally very important.

The Tianyang Spirit King lightly said, "I agree with Earth Yin. We set the rules; are we to change them now just because someone is making fair use of them to benefit? Who will believe in the rules set by the Ancestral Court in the future? Why can’t Jin Miaolin occupy an Emperor’s position? In fact, you should all realize that if he achieves the status of an Emperor and stays within the Ancestral Court, it would be greatly beneficial to all of us present. The level of life force he brings is perhaps only comparable to the original Tree Ancestor. We have evidence to prove that he is the first patriarch of the Blue Golden Tree Clan to ever have inherited the Tree Ancestor’s legacy."

His words left no room for ambiguity, explicitly showing full support.

Hearing the Tianyang Spirit King’s words, the Spirit Monster Emperors remained silent. The thoughts of both Tianyang and Earth Yin could basically represent the opinion of the Rihchen Empire.

"Brother Undying, what do you think?" the Great Demon Emperor Heavenly Fox turned to ask the Undying Great Demon Emperor.

The Undying Great Demon Emperor spoke with a grave voice, "I just officiated the match and felt the collision between them deeply. Brother Tianyang is right; from the perspective of the rules, we cannot prevent Jin Miaolin from competing in this way. However, the synergy between Jin Miaolin’s Life Domain and the Ferocious Dragon’s destructive power has indeed exceeded all expectations. Their combined power can form a special cycle, where the forces of life and destruction rapidly amplify within their interaction. The match just now was likely not their limit. But such a state isn’t necessarily a good thing for them, either. It’s unclear whether prolonged exposure could lead to problems that cause destructive mutations. After all, the combination of these two types of energy is balancing on a knife’s edge. It contains some instability, and if this instability erupts, then it’s possible that not even our protection cover, nor we Emperors, could ensure the safety of the venue. This competition has attracted the elites of all clans to watch; if there’s an incident threatening everyone’s safety, not just Jin Miaolin and the Ferocious Dragon would certainly die, but it may also lead to a scenario where countless lives are lost. Therefore, I request that everyone consider this aspect. I believe there should be some restrictions; otherwise, it will be too late once danger arises. Of course, since we would be modifying the rules, we must also provide some compensation to Jin Miaolin."

After hearing the Undying Great Demon Emperor’s words, the Great Demon Emperor Heavenly Fox’s eyes lit up; truly, the older the ginger, the spicier it gets!

Violating the pre-established rules of the Ancestral Court is indeed a matter of concern, and even though the Monster clan has more Emperors on its side, many still hesitate when it comes to breaking rules. However, Undying Great Demon Emperor presented another perspective, explaining why it was necessary to impose restrictions, opening up room for discussion.

The Path of Life and Death is an unprecedentedly unique combination, and its instability is evident from the initial frenzy of the Ferocious Dragon. What if the Ferocious Dragon goes berserk, and an explosion occurs due to the chaos within the Path of Life and Death? Then, how many spectators would perish?

"Brother Undying speaks wisely. Safety indeed should be our primary concern," Great Demon Emperor Heavenly Fox stated.

"I agree," Sky-breaking Great Demon King said lightly.

"I also agree with His Excellency Undying’s opinion. Safety is very important," Dark Demon Great Demon Emperor immediately said.

"Agreed," Crystal Phoenix Demon Emperor followed up, as he was always in agreement with the Undying Great Demon Emperor. Whatever Undying Great Demon Emperor would say, he naturally supported it.

White Tiger Great Demon King sat in his own resting area, with the corner of his mouth twitching slightly, thinking to himself, you agree my ass, that’s the man your daughter loves the most.

"Agree," Mammoth Great Demon King said.

Among all the Great Demon Emperors, only White Tiger Great Demon King and Sword Saint Big Demon Emperor had yet to express their views.

Divine consciousness from Great Demon Emperor Heavenly Fox immediately transmitted, making an inquiry towards White Tiger Great Demon King.

"I reserve my opinion," White Tiger Great Demon King stated simply.

Interests of the Tianyu Empire were aligned; although he knew that Jin Miaolin was indeed Tang San, at such a time, he could not openly oppose it, as it would be too obvious. That would immediately reveal the relationship between him and Jin Miaolin.

"I also reserve my opinion," the voice of Sword Saint Big Demon Emperor followed.

Out of the eight Great Demon Emperors, there were now five in agreement and two reserving their opinions. Even without Great Demon Emperor Heavenly Fox expressing his own view, the stand was very clear.

Tianyang Spirit King remained silent for a moment. He indeed hadn’t expected that Undying Great Demon Emperor would find a breakthrough by considering the safety of the venue from another angle. And what the other party said made sense, if a safety issue really occurred, it would be troublesome. The competition would have to stop, which is unacceptable to both sides.

"Brother Heavenly Fox, Brother Undying, I would like to ask, if we don’t allow him to utilize the Ferocious Dragon, this would mean directly eliminating him from the competition without him having broken any rules. Then, what sort of compensation is to be offered? Grant him a throne directly?" Tianyang Spirit King asked plainly. Though his tone was void of emotions, his words clearly conveyed dissatisfaction.

At such a time, even Phoenix Tree Spirit King, who was close to Undying Great Demon Emperor, didn’t dare to say much. When the interests of the two great empires clash, they all must stand on their nation’s side, and not let personal feelings affect that stance.
