Chapter 960
Under these circumstances, Tang Wulin's powers had been boosted significantly, and he was able to maintain an extremely high level of combat prowess through his constant absorption of abyssal energy. Furthermore, the constant influx of energy had completely stabilized his newly-attained dragon core, and it was slowly expanding in size while acting as the core of all of the blood essence power within his body.
Tang Wulin had been fighting at the very front this entire time not just for the legion, but also for his own sake. Even though there weren't potent sources of energy like Black Empresses for him to take advantage of, the sheer quantity of enemies far made up for the lack of quality.
The abyssal creatures being destroyed by the long-range attacks unleashed from the back released vast amounts of abyssal energy, and a large portion of that energy was directly absorbed by him. Only the streams of energy that were quite far away from him managed to escape. In essence, it was as if two battalions of soldiers were helping him hunt down these abyssal creatures, allowing him to constantly absorb their energy for himself. His dragon core benefited immensely through this process, and Tang Wulin could sense that the golden color within his body was becoming more and more vibrant.
His body gradually developed a rather bloated sensation, clearly indicating that he'd absorbed too much energy in one go, but his dragon core was like an insatiable black hole that was constantly absorbing this energy before using it to enhance his body.
This was a brilliant opportunity for him, so of course he wasn't willing to back down. If his dragon core were to continue to grow more powerful, he was sure that the agony that he'd have to experience when breaking his future Golden Dragon King seals would be significantly nullified.
All of a sudden, just as Tang Wulin was plunging his spear through the body of a massive abyssal creature, a burst of frosty intent appeared without any premonition. His Spirit Abyss realm spiritual power immediately alerted him, and his entire body shuddered as he flapped his wings to instantly hurtle back in retreat without any hesitation. At the same time, he unleashed his Golden Dragon Shocks the Heavens with his Golden Dragon Spear, and also activated his Golden Dragon Tyrant Body.
In the next instant, a frosty aura abruptly appeared before him, and the Golden Dragon Shocks the Heavens was split clean down the middle by that burst of frosty intent. Not only that, but the frosty intent crashed directly into his Golden Dragon Spear as well.
The overwhelming power of the attack slammed the Golden Dragon Spear into Tang Wulin's body before the frosty intent struck his chest.
His Dragon Moon battle armor flashed urgently, but much to Tang Wulin's surprise, he still felt as if his Golden Dragon Tyrant Body was on the brink of being shattered.
This was the first time that he'd ever felt so vulnerable after attaining this ability.
Thankfully, his Golden Dragon Tyrant Body was far more powerful than before due to the effects of his dragon core, and it allowed him to withstand that attack. Even so, he was still sent flying through the air like a cannonball, and his momentum was only just barely arrested after he sent two mechas flying.
He abruptly thrust forward with his Golden Dragon Spear, drawing upon the power of his Golden Dragon Tyrant Body to unleash his Golden Dragon Shocks the Heavens again. Not only that, but he also finally released his martial soul. Countless Bluesilver Emperor vines surged forth as his fourth soul ring lit up, indicating that he had just unleashed his Bluesilver Overlord Transformation soul skill. The Bluesilver Emperor vines formed a massive net in front of him while he continued to retreat as quickly as he could.
His blood essence surged within his chest, and the terrifying frosty intent was still flowing into his body in a frenzy; even his two-word battle armor was struggling to keep it at bay.
The frosty intent only faltered slightly before the net conjured up by the Bluesilver Overlord Transformation was completely destroyed. The icy aura then surged forth alongside a streak of greyish-white light, and Tang Wulin was already backing away extremely quickly, but the streak of light was even faster.
A hint of astonishment appeared in Tang Wulin's eyes, and right at this moment, a silver-saber-wielding figure descended right in front of him from above.
"Boom!"
The silver figure suddenly expanded in Tang Wulin's field of view, and in the next instant, the two of them collided as both of them were sent flying through the air.
Tang Wulin only just had enough time to withdraw his Golden Dragon Spear before throwing his arms around the silver figure's waist before they were sent tumbling through the air.
The greyish-white streak of light finally stopped at this point, and its true appearance was revealed.
This was a woman in a long greyish-white dress, and her pupils were also of the same greyish-white color. She also had a head of long greyish-white hair that spilled down her shoulders and extended all the way to her feet.
There were many Blood God Legion soldiers present in the surrounding area, but all of the attacks aimed at her were instantly destroyed as soon as they reached within 30 meters of her body.
What was even more peculiar was that countless streams of greyish-white energy were constantly receding from her body, flowing back into the abyssal passageway. Her body was gradually turning transparent, but her cold greyish-white eyes were locked directly on Tang Wulin.
The powerful killing intent emanating from her body made Tang Wulin feel as if his Spirit Abyss realm spiritual power had completely congealed, and the threat that this woman was posing to him was definitely not inferior to that of the gargantuan finger that had appeared earlier.
If the Blood God that was spectating the battle from up above hadn't stepped in just in the nick of time, there was no way that he would've been able to withstand this woman's second attack.
What the hell was this thing? How could it be so powerful?
The Blood God twisted around before slamming a palm into Tang Wulin's body, and he was immediately sent flying out of the cave by a burst of enormous force. His body hurtled toward the long-range attacking units, and at the same time, extremely dazzling silver light abruptly radiated from the Blood God's body. He raised his battle saber high up into the air, and light began to proliferate from the domain beneath his feet, making the air in the surrounding area extremely viscous.
All of the Blood God Legion troops and abyssal creatures began to move extremely slowly as if they were wading through treacle, and the battle saber in his hand seemed to have become extremely heavy as it slowly slashed through the air.
The grey-haired woman's gaze finally turned toward the Blood God, and the look in her eyes became even colder. However, as opposed to engaging the Blood God in battle, her body swayed, and she instantly vanished into the abyssal passageway behind her.
A streak of silver light flashed past, and large numbers of abyssal creatures disappeared on the spot, having been reduced to streams of energy that vanished into the passageway alongside the silver-haired woman. The abyssal tide was completely paused for a short while.
Tang Wulin spread open his wings and just barely managed to regain his balance in mid-air. However, after landing on the ground, he still stumbled, and he only managed to stabilize his own body after pressing a palm into the ground to support himself.
He looked down to discover that a greyish-white gash had appeared on his Dragon Moon battle armor, and the gash extended all the way from his right shoulder to the left side of his abdomen. The battle armor's protective barrier had been breached, and close to a third of the suit of battle armor itself had also been cleaved open.
His suit of two-word battle armor had been constructed from a spirit alloy comprised of three different types of metals, so it was already beginning to repair itself. However, there seemed to be some kind of special power within the greyish-white gash that was affecting the Dragon Moon battle armor's self-regenerative abilities. It appeared that it would take quite a while for the suit of battle armor to completely repair itself.
That was way too close! Had it not been for his Golden Dragon Tyrant Body, Tang Wulin had no doubt in his mind that the grey-haired woman's first attack would've sliced his body in half.
That was absolutely incredible! How powerful did his opponent's attack have to be to accomplish this?
Even the Titled Douluo that Tang Wulin had encountered in the past may not have been able to unleash such a powerful attack.
Don't forget that his blood essence power had already boosted his powers to the Soul Sage level, and he was wearing his suit of two-word spirit alloy battle armor. In conjunction with his Golden Dragon Tyrant Body, his defensive prowess would've been close to comparable to that of a Titled Douluo. At the very least, he would've attained the defensive prowess of a Titled Douluo, even if it were only for a very short amount of time.
Even so, he had still almost been killed by that attack, and he'd unleashed his Golden Dragon Shocks the Heavens twice, all to no avail. Just how fearsome did his opponent have to be to have accomplished all of this?
The Blood God had also clearly come out second best during their clash, as evidenced by the fact that he had also been sent flying despite the fact that he was a Titled Douluo in a suit of three-word battle armor. That was an even greater testament to the power of that grey-haired woman. She had to have at least been on par with a human Hyper Douluo, and it was quite disturbing to think that abyssal creatures with such immense powers could emerge from the abyssal passageway.
