The Legend of the Dragon King

All of a sudden, her pupils constricted sightly for a moment as if she had seen something which left her puzzled.

Tang Wulin crossed the Golden Dragon Spear in his hand and spoke with a deep voice, “I didn’t mean to offend you. I didn’t know how we ended up here either as I was unconscious. The Scarlet Fire Monkey King attacked us without any instigation on our part. We killed it in self-defense.”

The purple-haired woman frowned, but she did not speak any further. Subsequently, the pressure radiating from her body weakened.

Meanwhile, Gu Yue stuck out her head from behind Tang Wulin as she looked at the woman curiously.

They stood gazing at one another when the woman’s body shuddered once. An intense shock flashed past her eyes. She was about to say something subconsciously but she was stunned for a moment when she saw Gu Yue’s gaze.

“What are your names?” the purple-haired woman asked in a deep voice.

Tang Wulin spoke, “I’m Tang Wulin and this is my girlfriend, Gu Yue. We don’t mean to offend you, but if Your Excellency allows us to leave, I’m willing to give away my precious items in exchange.”

The woman looked at him as if she was deep in thought. The murderous intent that was initially unleashed from her body was subdued as if she was moved by Tang Wulin’s words.

“Exchange? What do you’ve to exchange with me?” She pondered as she asked the question. From her viewpoint, it would be easier to kill Tang Wulin. Yet, she recognized his identity earlier, but more importantly, she saw Gu Yue standing behind Tang Wulin. This was troublesome.

Tang Wulin was stunned for a moment. ‘That’s right! What can I offer in exchange? There aren’t many items that I can interest her in as a beast beyond her time.’ He had mostly rare metals with him. The heaven and earth treasures he collected were valuable to him, but he was afraid it meant nothing for a beast which had lived in Great Star Dou Forest for many hundred-thousands of years.

Tang Wulin suddenly came up with an idea. “Are you from the Dragon Clan?”

The purple-haired woman raised her brow slightly. “That’s right. I’m from the clan of the Hell Demon Dragon.” There was no point to conceal her identity. In reality, the person before Tang Wulin was ranked the ninth amongst the Ten Great Beasts of thousands of years ago. She was precisely the Hell Demon Dragon King. During that time, she was the leader of the Ten Great Beasts together with the Gold-Eyed Black Dragon King Di Tian. They were known as the two great dragon kings of the beasts.

Even though her cultivation base was far inferior compared to the Beast God Di Tian, the purity of her bloodline and her potential was on par with the Beast God Di Tian. She was one of the rare pure-blooded dragons from the dragon clan. Thus, she was capable of breaking the heaven’s punishment and cultivated to be a beast.

The Hell Demon Dragon?

Tang Wulin drew in a cold breath as he immediately recalled this person’s identity.

It was exceedingly rare for hundred-thousand-yearar soul beast to exist. A soul beast capable of cultivating to become a beast was even scarcer. The Hell Demon Dragon before him was not just a myth. It truly existed!

As he was thinking about this, he dared not let down his guard for fear that the other party would attack him. It was extremely important for him to stay alive. Moreover, there was Gu Yue by his side.

He raised his hand and removed the bracelet from his wrist. He spoke with a deep voice, “I once visited the Dragon Clan’s graveyard on another continent. I got this bracelet from there. It may be of use to you.”

The bracelet exuded a gentle seven-colored radiance. If one were to look closely, one could genuinely sense the dragon clan’s aura on it.

The Hell Demon King lifted her charming brow as she raised her hand and waved at Tang Wulin gently. A gush of gentle suction guided the bracelet flying in her direction.

The bracelet completed a distance of fifty meters in the blink of an eye and dropped onto the Hell Demon Dragon’s fair palm. Yet, something happened during that split second when the bracelet came into contact with her palm.

All of a sudden, a situation they never expected occurred.

The seven-colored crystal that appeared ordinary suddenly glowed brightly. A gush of incredibly intense seven-colored radiance surged skyward.

The present world which was dark as ink changed immediately to a world tainted with a dazzling multitude of seven colors. It was as if there were countless giant dragons roaring loudly.

“Argh!” The Hell Demon Dragon King screamed out in pain as the bracelet flew out of her hand. Speckles of seven-colored radiances condensed slowly to transform into a giant seven-colored shadow. The seven-colored shadow looked like a dragon with supreme overbearingness.

Even the powerful Hell Demon Dragon King bent over with her hands and knees on the ground instantly. Her entire body was shivering intensely, but she could not budge at all. It was as if she was enduring some irresistible pressure.

On the other side, Tang Wulin was stunned. In contrast, he did not feel anything at all which made him completely different from the Hell Demon Dragon King. Not much had changed except the pressure exerted by the Hell Demon Dragon King had completely vanished.

Tang Wulin felt extremely comfortable basking in the seven-colored radiance. Even Gu Yue who was standing behind him now stood by his side. There was a dazed look in her eyes that seemed to be deep in thought.

The seven-colored crystal expanded in the sky, and in the next moment, it transformed into a stream of seven-colored lights that returned to Tang Wulin’s wrist.

Tang Wulin felt a gush of noble willpower radiating into him as if it had a special relationship with him.

The sharp tip of the seven-colored crystal shaped like a water droplet suddenly poked downward and pierced through his radial artery. Fresh blood spewed out and melded with the seven-colored crystal.

Tang Wulin felt a gush of extremely massive willpower surged into his brain at once. He gave out a muffled humph, then his vision darkened just as he fainted.

“Father…” the last voice he heard was Gu Yue’s.

In the distance, the Hell Demon Dragon King’s body shuddered for a few minutes. The seven-colored radiance gradually disappeared, and everything returned to normal.

She sat on the ground as she panted loudly. She was in shock and bewilderment as she looked at Tang Wulin whom had fallen to the ground. His entire body was coated with a layer of seven-colored radiance.

What was that? A blessing from the Dragon God? She could obviously sense the Dragon God’s aura, but it was not the true Dragon God, only his willpower. As a pure-blooded true dragon, she worshipped the Dragon God just like all the pure-blooded true dragons. The Dragon God was their religious idol. They could assume some of the Dragon God’s power once they had achieved a certain level of cultivation base.

On the other hand, the Dragon God’s willpower earlier felt as if it was borrowed from the power of belief. After all, all the Dragon Clan’s members were aware that the Dragon God did not exist anymore. Yet, the faith in such a belief existed although the belief could not be manifested by even a hundred Hell Demon Dragon Kings!

Such descension of the Dragon God’s willpower could only appear back in those years during the Dragon Clan’s period of great prosperity. How was this possible? How could it possibly happen to a human’s body because even Her Majesty could not do that!

At the same time she was feeling shocked in her heart, she could not help gazing at Gu Yue.

Gu Yue was also seized with panic as she called out to Tang Wulin who was lying on the ground.

“Father? What the heck?” the Hell Demon Dragon King was staring at Gu Yue who was calling out anxiously in bewilderment.

She got up from the ground and walked over to Gu Yue and Tang Wulin’s side in quick strides. However, she dared not get too close because of the seven-colored radiance glowing on Tang Wulin’s body.

“Your Majesty…” she called out softly.

Gu Yue raised her head subconsciously with tears brimming in her eyes. “You’re a bad person. Why did you hurt my dad? I hate you…”

“What…” the Hell Demon Dragon King’s eyes widened. She could not believe all that was happening before her.

Was Gu Yue still Her Majesty whose heroic words had been so influential?

No! Something was definitely wrong here.

At this point, she dared not let her guard down as she soared into the sky and transformed into a stream of purple light before disappearing. The matter was already beyond her decision.

The sky turned bright and clear once again as the sunlight shone on the ground. The forest was brimming with life and vitality under the sunlight. A dense life source resonated in the air. Everything had returned to normal.

The seven-colored radiance continued to reverberate around Tang Wulin’s body. He was unconscious, but he appeared as if he had just fallen asleep.

It did not take long before the figures arrived silently. There were four of them who arrived in succession. One of them was the Hell Demon Dragon King who left earlier. Among the other three were two males and one female.

The female was also exquisitely beautiful. She was dressed in a long, emerald green dress that complemented her life source which made her appear kind and friendly.

Of the two males, one was a handsome youth but had an evil energy all around him, while the other was a middle-aged man with a strong temperament.
