Chapter 676 Wielding the Authority of the Seas
```
"It's alright, take me there. With me here, no sea elephant will harm you," Tang San said as a golden trident mark on his forehead flickered.
The Sea Shark instantly felt something and said with utmost respect, "Yes."
It turned around and came underneath Tang San, carefully carrying his body. A layer of blue halo rippled from its body, enveloping both itself and Tang San before suddenly accelerating towards the deep sea.
This Ninth Stage Sea Shark swam through the ocean at full strength, like a bolt of lightning. Tang San also retracted his Sea God's aura and merely felt the energy changes within the Endless Blue Ocean in silence.
The deeper they went into the sea, the more massive and pure the energy of the Endless Blue Ocean became, and the stronger the members of the Sea Clan they encountered.
Tang San gently pressed his right hand on his forehead, and his divine consciousness fluctuated slightly with the perception of the energy around the deep sea. A strange sensation kept emerging, and the pattern of the Golden Trident, representative of the Sea God's Trident, appeared now and then, emitting a peculiar brilliance.
The energy contained within this Endless Blue Ocean was far greater than he had imagined. Although the Demon Monster Continent was extremely rich and vast, it was much smaller in comparison to the Endless Blue Ocean. He was certain that if the Great Demon Emperor Heavenly Fox hadn't led most of the Luck towards the Demon Monster Continent, the number of powerhouses within the Sea Clan would have only been more abundant than on land.
If he were to become a God in the future, he could indeed borrow some of the Endless Ocean's energy to aid his power recovery. That would certainly allow him to revive his cultivation base more quickly.
Five hundred marine leagues was nothing for the Sea Shark Clan, and half an hour later, the Sea Shark gradually surfaced, allowing Tang San to see the scene above the water.
Tang San pressed one hand on the shark fin while looking ahead.
A dark line had appeared in his field of vision. With Purple Demon Eyes activated, he could clearly see a huge island stretching out above the sea surface.
This island was truly vast. Although it was still different from real land, the coastline he could see was at least several kilometers long. Even if this was the longer side of the island, it was still quite a significant presence.
Moreover, the vegetation on the island was incredibly lush, making the entire island appear entirely green. It evidently possessed a very dense Life Aura.
Just then, the sea ahead suddenly became choppy.
Waves rose abruptly, and a huge surge headed towards Tang San and the Sea Shark.
A blue light surged on the Sea Shark, quickly converging on itself before transforming into a massive beam of blue light that slashed forward.
The oncoming waves were suddenly split in two, falling to either side.
"King, it's the Sea Elephant Clan," came the slightly fearful voice of the Sea Shark.
On its own, it wouldn't be afraid of a single one, but the threat ahead was not just a solitary sea elephant!
Tang San naturally felt it too. In the sea ahead, behemoth creatures were heading their way.
The sea elephants were extremely large, with dozens of them swimming towards them, each at least ten meters long and much burlier than the Sea Sharks. Their long tusks protruded, and the turbulent energy they radiated caused the sea to boil and surge as they approached.
Under normal circumstances, the Sea Shark would have chosen to turn and flee at this moment—speedwise, the Elephant Clan definitely couldn't compare to them.
But with Tang San present, the Sea Shark could only firm its spirit, releasing its own aura to confront the encircling sea elephants.
The leading sea elephant was tremendous, over fifteen meters long and incredibly immense, yet it seemed to be within the Ninth Stage, based on its aura.
Tang San stood on the back of the Sea Shark, his eyes suddenly lighting up. He too wished to complete his task quickly and return sooner, naturally not wanting to waste time. The aura of the Sea God's Trident was released once more.

Suddenly, the imposing Sea Elephant Clan that had been closing in came to an abrupt halt, almost instinctively bowing their heads. Below deity level, the sea beasts found it difficult to harbor thoughts of rebellion in the face of Tang San's Sea God's aura, even if they did not know where it came from; they would also subconsciously submit.
The aura of Tang San, the Sea God, was not solely the aura of the Sea God from his previous life in Soul Land, but that of the Sea God who controlled all the oceans. All seas within the original scope of the Divine Realm were to obey. Although Falan Planet was not within the coverage area of Tang San's former Douluo Divine Realm, the aura of the oceans converged to the same ends. Thus, Tang San's Sea God's aura was universally applicable here as well, regardless of the presence of a Divine Realm in this plane.
"Who is in charge here?" Tang San's thoughts transmitted over.
The most robust of the sea elephants hurriedly swam forward, looking at Tang San with some uncertainty, "Your Excellency, I am."
"I want to inspect the island, lead the way," Tang San said indifferently.n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om
The sea elephant glanced at the Sea Shark below him, hesitating for a moment, "But, your mount..."
Tang San said, "It's just something I came across in the Endless Blue Ocean and had it lead the way. Do you have a question? Does your clan have a deity level being present? Let it come to see me."
After some hesitation, the sea elephant still led his clansmen to clear the way, "Please, go ashore."
With a light tap of his foot on the back of the Sea Shark, Tang San said, "You may go." Having said that, he had already leapt up, his wings unfolded behind him as he flew through the air, heading straight for the large island.
As he flew into the sky, the full view of the large island came into sight.
The area of the island was indeed not small; the coastline Tang San saw was not even the longer side. The coastline on the other side was a third longer, the entire island shaped like a triangle. Moreover, on the other side of this large island were several smaller islands, giving the appearance of an archipelago.
Each island was lush and green with abundant vegetation, exuding a dense life aura. It showed a rather nice ecological environment. Undoubtedly, this place was suitable for habitation.
Tang San was observing from the air when all of a sudden, a deep voice came from the island.
"Where do you come from, Your Excellency? What race are you, and why do you have an aura revered by my clan?"
Tang San's eyes narrowed slightly, his wings flapped, and he descended onto the sandy beach of the large island.

At that moment, on the beach, a large expanse of sand surged, and a massive body shaped like a meatball emerged slowly.
The creature was over twenty meters long, and, crucially, probably ten meters around the waist, its extremely plump body wriggling like an enlarged grub. The head had some difficulty turning, with long tusks resting on the ground, and a pair of eyes that seemed tiny in comparison to the body skeptically watched the Tang San before it.
Tang San's eyes narrowed slightly as he nodded towards it and asked, "Are you the one in charge here?"
"Indeed, I am Hai Sheng. I am an Elder of the Sea Elephant Clan," the massive sea elephant said with a deep voice. As a being on the Demon King level, it had a certain resistance to the aura emanating from Tang San, unlike the lower-level sea clansmen who could barely move in front of Tang San.
Tang San said, "I am human. I possess the authority to rule the oceans."
"The authority to rule the oceans?" Hai Sheng was taken aback, "Even the Sea Dragon King would not dare to make such a boastful claim, you should speak cautiously."
Tang San calmly looked at him, slowly gesturing with his right hand in the air, and the golden trident mark on his forehead suddenly burst into dazzling light. Countless points of light converged towards his right hand, and the sea within a hundred miles around the island suddenly calmed down.
Brilliant golden light burst forth from Tang San's eyes, and behind him, a massive ethereal silhouette slowly appeared.
"I said, I have the authority to rule the oceans!" he repeated slowly, word by word.
