The Legend of the Dragon King

No matter how imposing the purple-back color was, it could not stop the blue color from moving outward. The sea was becoming calm with the receding tempestuous waves. On the other hand, Tang Wulin’s aura was subliming wildly.

The feeling of transcendence was ineffable. Tang Wulin felt as if he was being incinerated in a smelting furnace.

However, the speckles of blue radiance soon fused into his bones. His initial Leakproof Golden Body now had a touch of water-like gentleness. It felt completely different regardless of how hard the crashing was inside him. The scorching temperature was rising while his aura and cultivation base was soaring similarly. He was continuously elevating little by little from his demigod rank.

His eyes were already glimmering like a starry sky. Everything in the surroundings was warping ever so slightly, yet Tang Wulin felt the profound changes in himself.

“Forbid Heaven-Earth, Dragon Emperor Fight!” He shouted aloud abruptly.

In the next moment, a valiant dragon’s roar was heard coming from his body. Tang Wulin felt the surrounding air surging violently. The sky gave out a loud booming noise in the midst of the violent surging air. Then, the entire world became dark and gloomy.

The sky and the sea had vanished, leaving only a sphere of incomparably bright golden-red radiance.

Tang Wulin clearly felt the soul core in his brain explode and shatter all of a sudden. Soon after, a ball of incomparably intense golden-red radiance exploded and transformed into a slowly fading golden-red ball.

‘What’s that? Is that me?’

Tang Wulin was astonished that a tiny golden person appeared from the golden-red ball. The tiny person had a full head of long hair flickering with blue-gold radiance. It was levitating on his sea of spirit. On the other hand, the golden color in his sea of spirit began a momentous transformation after being affected by the tiny person.

His spiritual power was subliming. There was an additional glossy tint in the golden color while his entire sea of spirit was transforming as well. Wisps of white airflow floated on the surface of his rapidly expanding sea of spirit. It felt as if a century had passed but, in reality, it was just a moment. His sea of spirit had actually enlarged a hundredfold, much to his surprise.

His initial copious spiritual power turned into a thin layer of spiritual power on the seabed at this exact moment. A white airflow rippled gently on the surface of the crystal clear golden liquid. Despite the minimal white airflow, Tang Wulin could clearly distinguish every change they underwent.

‘What’s this?’

Tang Wulin suddenly understood.

He had made a breakthrough. His spiritual power had a breakthrough at this moment. He had finally broken the restriction of the Spirit Domain and entered the Divine Origin realm completely. The Divine Origin was the rank that truly belonged to Godhood!

When he fused with his father’s bloodline and broke the Golden Dragon King’s fifteenth layer seal, his stagnant spiritual power made a breakthrough at last. He went from the Spirit Domain to the Divine Origin.

Even though he was at the weakest point of the Divine Origin and his spiritual power was at the Divine Origin rank as well, the faint white airflow on the surface of his spiritual power was the legendary immortal energy!

The elevation from the Spirit Domain to the Divine Origin involved the transformation of thoroughly remoulding oneself. It was the transformation which let one gain a foothold into the god rank!

It was a spiritual rank that even the quasi gods who reigned over the continent for many years could not achieve including the Boundless Sea Douluo Chen Xinjie, the Light Dark Douluo Long Yeyue, the Coiling Dragon Douluo Qiangu Dieting, and even the deceased Atlas Douluo Yun Ming.

The fact that Mankind was astonished to find the Spirit Monarch had a spiritual power cultivation base at the Divine Origin in the abyssal legion earlier. Before him, it seemed like Gu Yuena was the only person capable of achieving this rank.

Tang Wulin only realized how terrifying the realm of this rank was after his spiritual power had entered the rank.

Despite his powerful spirit, he did not manage to fill his sea of spirit even by a millionth of its capacity. If only he could fill up his sea of spirit once again, how terrifying would his spiritual power be then?

‘Divine Origin, I’ve actually achieved the Divine Origin. Father, is this your gift to me?’

His heart was overwhelmed with emotions in the meantime. He understood that he could perhaps only achieve this rank when he became a God if he depended solely on his own cultivation.

In any case, it was the Godhood bloodline left by his father to him, or perhaps the immortal energy which allowed him to achieve the Divine Origin spiritual cultivation base despite the suppression from the lord of the Douluo Continent plane. From this moment on, he was no longer an ordinary Limit Douluo. His spiritual power had already achieved and perhaps even surpassed the vast majority of the quasi gods. His spiritual power was at the apex of the Douluo Continent in its truest sense!

It was the true apex!

Tang Wulin’s heart was filled with emotions. In the next moment, his spiritual consciousness resumed. The emotions grew even stronger when he opened his eyes and saw everything before him again.

The murky, dark world had vanished. He had a broad view and saw a clear, blue sea. The oppressive force was gone, leaving him levitating alone in the sky.

The combat heaven and earth consciousness had also vanished. He saw his long, blue hair blowing in the wind. His long blue hair was very similar to his father’s. The Golden Dragon Moon Song battle armor on his body had an added layer of faint blue-gold brilliance.

He clearly felt the change produced from the infusion and integration of his Divine Origin-ranked spiritual power.

The reason behind the four-word battle armor’s power was it evolved relentlessly in fusing with its soul master!

On the other hand, all the transformations only appeared during the sublimation process which lasted for an unknown amount of time.

Tang Wulin realized that he was now different. At least, he had taken a huge step toward becoming a quasi god.

On the other hand, it seemed like there was no one else capable of such a speedy elevation in the history of the soul masters’ world, other than his Godhood father and also a few others who had extraordinary natural endowments and the Divine Realm providence such as the Spirit Ice Douluo Huo Yuhao!

Tang Wulin progressed from being a Limit Douluo to approaching the quasi god rank with the Divine Origin spiritual power. Tang Wulin was overwhelmed by what he felt. He knew that he had made the right decision. Taking the Sea God’s Nine Examinations was an unprecedented metamorphosis for him.

“The Sea God’s Seventh Examination – the most powerful duel against the million-year deep sea devil whale king is completed.” Meanwhile, a voice which surprised Tang Wulin was heard.

Did the deep sea devil whale king retreat without putting up a fight? What was happening?

Tang Wulin felt stunned.

Judging by the situation where he killed the evil devil killer whale king, he should be able to gain additional benefits if he were to defeat the deep sea devil whale king. Yet, the soul beast retreated without putting up a fight. It was…

You lose some, you gain some, right?

However, Tang Wulin felt at ease after the momentary disappointment. The saying, ‘you lose some, you gain some’ meant that not everything would go as planned. It was rather difficult for him to attain his achievements now.

“Please rest and recuperate. Proceed immediately with the Sea God’s Eighth Examination after six hours.” The deep voice was heard once again. Tang Wulin was quite astonished that he was not asked if he wished to continue the eighth examination this time. Instead, he was notified that he would be taking the eighth examination next.

‘Could it be that I lost the privilege to choose after passing the seventh examination?’

He asked rhetorically as if his speculation was confirmed.

‘If I can’t, then so be it. I’ll still strive hard!’

The two soul bones from earlier were still with him. He took a glance at them. A radiance flickered in Tang Wulin’s eyes as he grew determined.

He sat cross-legged and waved at the two pieces of soul bones to guide them to him.

‘I bet fusing with these two pieces of soul bones will elevate my abilities substantially, for sure!’

Meanwhile, there were changes appearing in Thule on the Douluo Continent at the same time Tang Wulin was preparing for his Sea God’s Nine Examinations.
