The Legend of the Dragon King

Tang Wulin was still far below the Black Monarch’s standards judging by their intrinsic qualities.

There was nowhere he could dodge at present. Moreover, the Black Monarch’s punch was definitely a Limit Douluo-ranked attack. How would he stand a chance to withstand it?

The black background behind Tang Wulin gradually faded to reveal the bright mirror hanging high in the air. At the same time, a sonorous and clear shout echoed in his surroundings.

“All the ways of heaven and earth, the soul of Douluo, the cycle of the Blood Gods, seal!”

The voice belonged to Blood One. With his roaring call, nine-colored radiances ran the length and breadth of the passage’s exit at once. A gigantic rune descended from the sky to pin down the passage.

Immediately, the nine-colored radiances emerged from the areas surrounding the passage and the surfaces of the walls. The circulating radiances caused the black radiance emitting from the Black Monarch’s punch to shrink.

It was not the power of the Heartless Douluo, but the planar power of the entire plane of Douluo Continent.

From the Douluo Continent’s perspective, the abyssal creatures were invaders from another worldly plane, so it would inherently be rejected by the Douluo Continent’s plane. Otherwise, the Douluo Continent would not be able to withstand the one hundred and eight levels of the abyss since six thousand years ago.

The passage’s seal had utilized the Douluo Continent’s planar power since the beginning of time to lock down the place.

At present, Blood One was channeling the planar power through the Blood Gods Great Array to resist the Black Monarch. At the same time, it was also used to suppress the abyssal passage so that the powerful abyssal creatures that came charging over could be weakened.

If not for the presence of the Blood Gods Great Array, how could mankind possibly suppress the abyssal plane for six thousand years?

A stream of bright radiance swept across the area above Tang Wulin’s head. The radiance transformed thrice in the sky before coinciding with the heaven and earth spirits on the Douluo Continent’s plane to spin nine times before finally blasting the Black Monarch’s punch.

A powerful energy storm erupted in the passage instantly. Tang Wulin’s body disappeared abruptly in the intense white light.

This was the marvelous part of using a domain soul skill. The Bright Mirror Douluo Zhang Huanyun absorbed Tang Wulin’s body directly through his bright mirror domain and combined his strength with the Blood Gods Great Array to resist the Black Monarch by force.

It was precisely then that the Black Monarch revealed her abyssal plane’s king-rank ability.

She remained suspended in midair within the terrifying energy storm. Despite being lashed by such an intense impact, she floated about like a statue and was barely shaken while her eyes were beaming with radiance akin to a pair of black jewels. Her hands moved rhythmically and gently in front of her body as she conjured wisps of black silk in between her fingers which spun toward the Bright Mirror Douluo.

Zhang Huanyun did not choose to retaliate by force. He had already advanced to the rank of a Limit Douluo and even possessed a set of four-word battle armor. At the very least, he should be able to resist the Black Monarch even if he failed to defeat her.

There were only Zhang Huanyun and Blood One from the Blood God Army who was the two main pillars of strength. One not only had to rely on one’s strength when fighting against such top grade abyssal kings, more importantly, one must engage the entire Douluo Continent’s planar power to resist it. Otherwise, they would not stand a chance of defeating the abyssal king by relying on their strengths alone. It was why Blood One chose to combine his efforts with the rest of the eight Blood Gods to launch the Blood Gods Great Array and not engage the enemy by himself.

As long as the Blood Gods Great Array was stable, the Douluo Continent plane’s dominance could be felt. Despite the Black Monarch’s power and her demigod status, she could not fully unleash her most powerful potential when the abyssal plane was suppressed by the Douluo Continent’s plane. When one party was weakened and the other strengthened, it would be easier for mankind to withstand the Black Monarch.

Tang Wulin was capable of threatening the life’s origin of the abyssal kings, so he was considered mankind’s trump card. Even with such formidable power, the Black Monarch dared not challenge the Blood Gods Great Array by herself. Could it be that she was apprehensive that Tang Wulin could devour her origin power after witnessing his ability?

Hence, Zhang Huanyun brought along Tang Wulin as they retreated. The most important thing now was to stabilize the situation at present.

A white radiance flashed and Zhang Huanyun was already out of the Blood Gods Great Array. He did not continue fighting with the Black Monarch. At the same time, Tang Wulin appeared shimmering with a golden-red radiance next to Zhang Huanyun.

Everything happened in the blink of an eye. Nevertheless, it was witnessed by every soldier in the Blood God Army.

They saw Tang Wulin using his overpowering influence to annihilate the six Black Empresses in a split second and fighting valiantly against the Black Monarch. His golden-red silhouette domineered over the entire scene which was deeply ingrained in everyone’s mind.

Tang Wulin was already the hero of the army’s soldiers after they watched his performance in the Federal Star Dou Battle Network Challenge. However, they did not feel the extent of Tang Wulin’s power at the time. After all, he was fighting against three-word battle armor masters under the constraints of the competition.

It was only now that they bore witness to Tang Wulin’s terrifying fighting capacity. The gigantic golden dragon over five hundred meters in length left behind an impression which was so profound that it shocked them to the core.

At present, Tang Wulin with the golden-red radiance that surrounded his body continued to expand while the aura in his body was partially visible. The six Empresses’ energies were so out of this world that Tang Wulin could not absorb a major portion of it. The rest of the energies were expelled through the attacks. In any case, the Black Empress’ origin power was still infusing into his body.

Tang Wulin’s dragon core and soul core were circulating in overload. Thus, the aura emitted from his body was extremely unstable. If an ordinary soul master had absorbed such a massive amount of energy, the soul master’s body would have exploded. However, Tang Wulin was different. He had a body that could withstand such enormous amounts of energy. More importantly, the Life Seed felt contented with Tang Wulin as its host body right now after absorbing the two abyssal kings’ Plane Seeds. The thick life force in Tang Wulin’s body protected him. Tang Wulin utterly had no need to worry about suffering any injuries to his body after receiving the life force’s protection from the Life Seed.

Every living creature had its own life’s origin. The stronger one’s life origin, the more powerful one’s life energy was. The energy converted from the Life Seed strengthened the life’s origin of Tang Wulin such that his body remained stable and did not explode despite the continuous elevation of his energy.

Hence, Tang Wulin felt as if he could not exhaust his energy. All at once, the energy in his entire body oscillated between expansion and contraction while the Golden Dragon Spear in his hand pulsated with its radiance. He wished that he could charge into the abyss to continue fighting.

He could still sense the Black Monarch’s incredible power despite the expanding energy in his body. The Black Monarch’s energy remained a threat to his life. However, the energy surging in his body enhanced his will to fight.

‘I won’t turn back no matter how powerful the enemy is.’ This sole idea was in Tang Wulin’s mind at present. His spiritual rank was undergoing minute transformations following the elevation of his life’s origin. He sensed the alternation of the nine heaven and earth spirits channeling from the Blood Gods Great Array. Finally, he felt as if he had transformed into the dominator of heaven and earth.

“Huanyun, fall back.” Blood One’s voice was heard.

Zhang Huanyun was stunned for a moment as he looked toward Blood One. At present, the abyssal creatures had stopped attacking momentarily after sensing the collision between the two great powerhouses earlier. However, the abyssal creatures were still surging out from the fissure continuously. Huanyun did not understand the energy used by the abyssal plane which allowed it to withstand such overbearingness from the Blood Gods Great Array.

Blood One spoke with a deep voice, “The great array will protect Tang Wulin. Only he can defeat these abyssal creatures now. Wulin, listen carefully. From now on, we’ll help you to be the core person of our Blood Gods Great Array. There’s no need for you to worry about defense. You’ll only be responsible for the attack. Try your best to kill the enemy. Do you understand? Don’t fret over the energy that you can’t absorb but pass it on to your seed.”

The Heartless Douluo realized the distinctive quality of Tang Wulin’s body. He then came up with a judgment about the seed and gave his orders.

At present, the energy in Tang Wulin’s body expanded rapidly making him look like a huge balloon. He dared not even open his mouth for fear that his body would be blown away by the leaking energy when he opened his mouth. So, he nodded his head at Blood One.

It was not that he was unwilling to channel the energy to the Life Seed. The Life Seed had to be willing to absorb the energy as well! The Life Seed was quite selective for it fancied the energy from the abyssal plane’s Plane Seed the most.

“The cycle of the Blood Gods, the guardian of the nine spirits. Spin!”
