The Legend of the Dragon King

‘Did humans really achieve such a thing? This…this is unbelievable.’

Horror followed after the initial shock. If this went on, it would certainly die!

‘This is bad. I can’t let this continue.’

‘I must break free from the restrictions here. I only have a chance of being reincarnated if I’m within the abyssal plane.’ When it thought about this, the Six-clawed Demon Emperor’s body started rising and falling rapidly. There seemed to be a faint light shining in its body. It was a peculiar purplish glow. As the light grew brighter, its colossal body started collapsing into itself.

“Mm?” The Heartless Douluo’s gaze changed. He swung his right arm and another classic sword shot out at lightning speed. It instantly ran through the six-clawed Demon Emperor’s body, immediately slowing down the pace at which it was collapsing.

“Wulin, hurry up. This guy wants to self-destruct.” Cao Dezhi was the one who fought with these abyssal kings the most. That was why he was also the most well-versed in their abilities and conditions. Every time these abyssal kings died, their abyssal aura would hastily flee to the abyssal plane. These abyssal energies could penetrate any barrier. Even the Bright Mirror Douluo’s Domain could not stop them. Once it escaped, it would naturally be reincarnated after some time. If that were to happen, this mission would end in failure.

Tang Wulin nodded vigorously. He had also felt that something was off. Although the speed at which his Golden Dragon Spear devoured the energy had obviously increased, the energy within the Six-clawed Demon Emperor was swiftly growing wilder. To his surprise, it seemed to want to break free.

He could sense that there seemed to be something odd within the Six-clawed Demon Emperor’s body and it was rapidly absorbing the Six-clawed Demon Emperor’s energy. It looked as if it wanted to…

“Senior Blood One, it seems as if it wants to open up a spatial passage. You…” Tang Wulin was mid-sentence when suddenly, he felt his brow shake. A strange feeling spread throughout his body.

Blood One’s gaze grew cold. He swung his right arm, and the four swords around the six-clawed Demon Emperor’s head shone brightly at the same time as they cut through the air.

However, an intense spatial shockwave suddenly erupted from the Six-clawed Demon Emperor. It felt as if its entire being was collapsing inward.

“Heheheh, puny little humans. Do you think such tricks can kill the mighty Six-clawed Demon Emperor? No matter how powerful you are as an individual, there’s no way you can fight against the plane. It’s an infinite supply of energy, like that of a god. It’s the very foundation of the abyssal plane’s existence. The Plane’s Seed will bring me back to the abyss. It won’t be long before I return.”

Plane’s Seed? Although he had fought with the abyssal creatures for so many years, even the Heartless Douluo Cao Dezhi was only hearing about this Plane’s Seed for the first time.

Also, he clearly felt that his own spatial seal and Zhang Huanyun’s Domain could barely contain this fellow before him much longer.

His heart sank. Cao Dezhi understood that he had still thought about the whole matter too simply. These 108 Abyssal Monarchs could not be defeated just by devouring their energies. This must have been a king that was very low among their ranks. If they could not even defeat this one, then the other more powerful abyssal kings would be more difficult to control. In addition to that, the abyssal passage was being opened right now for some unknown reason. This would be very troublesome.

Just when Cao Dezhi was frowning, a peculiar change suddenly occurred on Tang Wulin’s body.

Soul rings rose from under his feet. There was a total of six rings, four black, one green, and one red. The fifth, a greenish-gold soul ring, suddenly shone brightly. Shortly after, an emerald light shot out like lightning from between Tang Wulin’s eyebrows.

This green light landed on the Six-clawed Demon Emperor’s chest, and something extraordinary then took place. The Six-clawed Demon Emperor’s chest seemed to have melted as a hole was bored into it. Then, the green light took a form and turned into a branch full of emerald-green leaves. It drilled into the Six-clawed Demon Emperor’s chest forcefully.

The six-clawed Demon Emperor’s wild laugh stopped abruptly. “What? What in the world is this? Ah! Ahhhh!” the Demon Emperor let out a deafening wail. It shook the entire Domain so much that the interior was contorted. However, the inside of its chest was shining with a brilliant green light.

Tang Wulin felt jubilant emotion coming from the Life Seed embedded within the depths of his skull. It was just like when he saw his mother making a delicious meal when he was still a little boy.

The energy being devoured by his Golden Dragon Spear weakened slightly. However, the life source emitted by the Life Seed was extraordinarily dense and it covered every part of Tang Wulin’s body. This made him feel as though every single cell in his body was cheering and jumping for joy. A baptism of such immense life energy made his entire body emit a greenish-gold glow filled with life. He felt comfort that could not be put into words. All traces of exhaustion within his body, whether it was physical or mental, faded away. At that moment, what surprised Tang Wulin was that he could clearly feel all the elements around him. He could sense the fluctuations that came from every single element.

‘This must be…the feeling of a Spirit Domain?’

The Six-clawed Demon Emperor howled wildly and struggled desperately. However, the vine that was as slender as a pinky finger which shot out from Tang Wulin’s forehead had set down firm roots within its chest. It colored its chest with an emerald green hue.

Does the darkest hour come just before the dawn? Cao Dezhi beside him was also shocked. He had already known that there was some unexplained but immense life force within Tang Wulin. When he condensed his soul core back then, this life force had appeared once, and it also brought great benefits to the entire army.

This life force was making an appearance once again. Moreover, it seemed to have taken control of the Six-clawed Demon Emperor’s Plane’s Seed. What was happening here? Even with Cao Dezhi’s experience, he could not make out what it was. However, there was no doubt that this was fatal for the Six-clawed Demon Emperor.

The sound of a robust heartbeat came from his Dragon Core. Tang Wulin felt his blood essence grow stronger like never before. Now that he was being nourished by the life force, he did not have to worry about his body not being able to withstand the process. His Dragon Core was enlarging bit by bit. Also, through the life force’s transformation, the tangent planes on his soul core quickly increased in number. This was undoubtedly a sign that his soul core was evolving.

His two great energy cores were greedily absorbing the energy coming from the Six-clawed Demon Emperor. The Life Seed on his forehead was devouring the greatest amount of energy.

Suddenly, the Six-clawed Demon Emperor’s body shook violently and then lay there limply. The branch that grew out of Tang Wulin’s forehead quickly retracted. Bound at its tip was an oval-shaped, dark purple crystal, pulsating with a faint light. The Life Seed’s branch had taken root in the crystal, with fine hairs penetrating deeply into it. Green halos swiftly surged toward the inside of Tang Wulin’s forehead, and the powerful life force was completely devoured by the Life Seed.

Six illusory shadows appeared around Tang Wulin. They were the six great hundred-thousand-year plant-type soul beasts led by the Damask Tulip.

Every one of them was covered by a greenish-gold halo, and they all had joyful looks on their faces. Clearly, this dense life energy was extremely beneficial for them as well.

His Golden Dragon Spear continued to devour the remnants of the Six-clawed Demon Emperor’s energy. Tang Wulin could not help but ask the Damask Tulip, “Damask, what’s this? What is that purple crystal?”

The Damask Tulip laughed, “Master, your good luck is truly overwhelming. We had originally thought that simply being around the Life Seed and feeling its effects was greatly beneficial to us. We never thought that you could activate the Life Seed and supply it with pure life force, thereby making it grow roots and sprout shoots.”
