Soul Land 3: Legend Of The Dragon King

The Titan Giant Ape was forced back onto the shore by the Blue Emperor Myriad Lightning Hell, and large patches of its fur had been charred black.

The Sky Azure Bull Python had bore the brunt of the attack, but Tang Wulin had clearly seen a net of azure light rise up from its body to nullify the Blue Emperor Myriad Lightning Hell. 

Even though the Sky Azure Bull Python had also shuddered violently within the Blue Emperor Myriad Lightning Hell, it clearly hadn't actually been harmed, and it slowly raised its pair of massive claws, which instantly turned an azure color.

Tang Wulin could clearly sense that its claws seemed to be imbued with a very peculiar type of power, similar to the power exhibited by the Golden Lion Mastiff after it had unleashed its domain.

Was this the power of domain laws?

Every domain possessed its own power of laws, and that was what made domains so powerful.

The reason why three-word battle armor was considered to be such an enormous upgrade from a suit of two-word battle armor was precisely because it possessed the power of laws contained within the battle armor domain.

The domains attained by Soul Masters were more powerful than battle armor domains as they had a greater understanding of the power of laws contained within their own domains.

For example, Tang Wulin's Time Reversal domain contained the power of the laws of space and time, and this type of power was exactly what Tang Wulin was currently sensing from the paws of the Sky Azure Bull Python.

What kind of power of laws did it possess?

Before he had a chance to ponder this matter any further, the Sky Azure Bull Python suddenly brought its claws apart in a tearing motion. Immediately thereafter, the azure light erupting from its body intertwined with Tang Wulin's Blue Emperor Myriad Lightning Hell before both were torn apart in unison.

Thus, a massive gash was torn into the Blue Emperor Myriad Lightning Hell, following which the Sky Azure Bull Python sent its massive tail crashing directly toward Tang Wulin. This was the same thing that had sent Tang Wulin flying in the first place.

Tang Wulin had only used his Blue Emperor Myriad Lightning Hell in battle during sparring matches with his friends, and it had proven to be immensely effective every single time; this was the first time that it had ever been nullified like this.

As expected of one of the most powerful soul beasts in history!

Right at this moment, all of the fine hairs on the back of Tang Wulin's neck stood up on end as the Titan Giant Ape had also sprung into action.

It had crouched down to lower its center of gravity, as if it were straddling the saddle of a horse, and it slowly extended its right fist as a ball of inky-black light materialized on the surface of its fist.

No sound or explosive power was released by its fist, but the attack had been unleashed at the same time as the Sky Azure Bull Python had whipped its tail toward Tang Wulin.

"Crap!"

A sense of life-threatening peril immediately welled up in Tang Wulin's heart, and the surrounding air suddenly warped, following which both the Sky Azure Bull Python and Titan Giant Ape's attacks returned to a second ago.

At the same time, Tang Wulin raised both hands in unison. The Golden Dragon Spear appeared in his left hand, and with it, he immediately unleashed his Fury of the Masses toward the Sky Azure Bull Python's tail.

Meanwhile, the golden trident appeared in his right hand, with which he unleashed Millennium White Clouds.

In the face of these lethal attacks, Tang Wulin had also retaliated with his most powerful attacks.

In comparison, the silent punch that the Titan Giant Ape had unleashed from the shore was far more threatening than the Sky Azure Bull Python's tail strike.

Right as it had unleashed that, Tang Wulin felt as if his entire body were about to be pulverized. In contrast, Yuanen Yehui's Divine Cloudvortex Fists were like mere child's play!

"Clang!" The Golden Dragon Spear struck the Sky Azure Bull Python's tail, and he could feel that the spear had landed a solid blow, but its power was completely nullified as soon as it struck the giant tail.

The extreme sharpness of the Golden Dragon Spear seemed to have failed in the face of the Sky Azure Bull Python, but the Sky Azure Bull Python had also been forced back into retreat.

Meanwhile, a giant fist indentation had appeared within the vast expanse of white clouds on the other side. Despite the grueling test of time, the fist indentation was still crashing directly toward Tang Wulin, reaching him in the blink of an eye.

It's over! 

The Sky Azure Bull Python and Titan Giant Ape were far more fearsome than he had imagined.

How had he even encountered this pair of almighty soul beasts in this place?

All of a sudden, the giant fist projection stopped less than 10 meters away from Tang Wulin, and it abruptly exploded, scattering the Millennium White Clouds before gradually fading into nothingness, leaving Tang Wulin feeling very perplexed.

The power of the Titan Giant Ape's punch clearly hadn't been nullified, so why had it suddenly stopped and disappeared? 

Right at this moment, a series of blue halos descended from the heavens to sweep up his body, and in the next instant, the entire world around him began to spin and blur. Just as he was about to be swept away by the blue vortex, a cold harrumph rang out, and a giant azure claw pierced into the huge vortex before making a simple dragging motion to destroy it.

"Argh!" Another figure stumbled out of the vortex alongside Tang Wulin; it was none other than Lan Fuozi!

"Run!" Lan Fuozi yelled as her eyes suddenly took on a deep purple hue, and an extremely powerful aura erupted from her body. Everything in the surrounding area instantly took on an illusionary quality, and a total of three purple shockwaves proliferated outward in all directions from her body.

Both the Sky Azure Bull Python and Titan Giant Ape were forced back by these three shockwaves, and the pressure being exerted upon Tang Wulin was instantly alleviated as a result.

"Hmm?" A bewildered look appeared on the Sky Azure Bull Python's face, and in the next instant, a slender hand had grabbed onto Tang Wulin's wrist.

Lan Fuozi's face was rather pale as she released another shockwave, except this one was of a purplish-golden color. It only spread to a diameter of around five meters, but it managed to shatter the surrounding space, and she immediately dragged Tang Wulin into the shattered space.

"I see." A rumbling voice rang out as the nightmarish giant azure claw appeared once again. On this occasion, it had become even more massive, and it prevented the torn space from sealing while piercing azure light suddenly erupted from its other claw.

Both Tang Wulin and Lan Fuozi were struck by a sense of dizziness, and everything around them seemed to have been caught up in an unavoidable storm of annihilation.

It's over! 

Father! 

Tang Wulin called out desperately to his father. In this dire situation, only the power that his father had left within his body would be able to save them.

His consciousness lingered on this thought for only an instant before everything faded into darkness.

...... 

"The energy fluctuations within the restricted area seem to have subsided, yet that person hasn't emerged; he's most likely dead."

"Indeed. We've sent many scouts into the restricted area, but some of them had their memories wiped before they were ejected by whatever is residing in that area, while the rest didn't even make it out alive. I can only pray for their sake that they'll be released after having their memories wiped."

"Should we report this to the higher-ups?"

"Hold off on that for now; this examination will be under way for quite a few more days anyway."

"Alright."

...... 

"Chairman, I want to go back to cultivate now," Gu Yuena said as she rose to her feet.

"Sure, go ahead," Qiangu Dongfeng said with a smile. He was in a very good mood as Qiangu Zhangting had already completed all of his examinations with flying colors, and this was a very good beginning.

Even more importantly, the influence of the joust for a spouse event was only continuing to increase. The viewership it was receiving had already set a federal record, and the event was very beneficial for the public image of the Spirit Pagoda.

In particular, all of the rewards offered by the Spirit Pagoda had swayed public opinion heavily in its favor, and that was what Qiangu Dongfeng was most pleased about.

At this rate, the Spirit Pagoda's reputation would be fully restored once the conclusion of the joust for a spouse event was reached, and the marriage ceremony between Qiangu Zhangting and Gu Yuena could be held then.

After that, he would gradually shift more responsibility onto them as he prepared to hand over the reins.
