The Legend of the Dragon King

The Divine Realm which initially mirrored the Douluo Continent sealed all possibility of Godhood for the soul beasts and animals. It then vanished without a trace for a long time. This was why no one was capable of becoming a god for thousands of years.

Nonetheless, there was at least more than one person who managed to cultivate to Godhood in the history of mankind.

That was the difference between these two planes.

The abyssal Sage King had deliberately planned this for many years. He had been seeking the opportunity to elevate the abyssal plane to a Divine Realm all along. He had searched high and low for the opportunity. After a long time, he finally found the Douluo Continent, a world filled with life force. Yet, he did not expect to lose the first great battle back at the beginning. Worse, he was worried over the possibility that he might be counterattacked by the Douluo Continent.

“Sage King, was that truly God’s strength? I thought the Divine Realm which belonged to the Douluo Continent plane had already vanished a long time ago.” asked the confused Black Monarch.

If not for the fact that the Divine Realm that mirrored the Douluo Continent plane had already vanished, they would not have dared to link up with the Douluo Continent plane and invade it!

Although the Divine Realm would not intervene with the lower grade plane, it would step in when the situation warranted it, especially if the invaded plane belonged to the Divine Realm. The abyss might be powerful, but it was nothing when compared to the true Divine Realm.

The Sage King spoke calmly, “I’m not sure but the energy emitted by them at the end was pure divine power. Perhaps those two humans are not equipped with such divine power, but they had the god seed in their bodies. They relied on the Douluo’s planar power to unleash the god’s power. Otherwise, how were they capable of defeating me? I truly didn’t expect such power to exist on the Douluo Continent. No wonder that tiny human could devour the abyssal energy. He had the god’s shadow behind his back, and also the Life Seed in his body grew sturdier and stronger after the battle. If I can acquire and engulf it, then every creature on the Douluo plane will give its life force to our abyss through the wilting process.”

At last, the lord of the abyssal plane, the abyssal Sage King without peer grew excited.

The numerous abyssal monarchs all felt astonished at present. For the past few abyssal days, they thought that the Sage King was in a rage. Yet, it did not appear so.

The abyssal Sage King spoke coldly, “I’ve been searching painstakingly for so many years. I’ve finally found the shortcut which will truly allow me to advance our abyss. How can I possibly give up so easily? The greed of mankind is boundless. We will have the opportunity to use our human allies. Contact them and I’ll personally express our ‘good faith’ to them. It appears that we’ve failed this time, but actually, the biggest gain for us is that we’ve found the location of the Douluo Continent’s Life Seed. So what if he devoured all of you? As long as I can devour him in the end, all the life force from the Douluo Continent will become a part of our abyss. By then, I can open up the Divine Realm by force to advance the entire abyss.”

“Our Sage King of keen intelligence and excellent judgment!”

The numerous abyssal monarchs worshipped him on bended knees and saluted with respect at the same time.

The Black Monarch lowered her head. Her pair of enticing eyes were shimmering with radiance as if she was pondering about something.

…

The feeling of soaring freely over the sky was pure ecstasy.

After his cultivation base broke through to the seven-ring level, he was officially a Soul Sage. In addition to the advancement of his spiritual power to the Spirit Domain, Tang Wulin felt that the freedom was more profound than before.

There seemed to be countless elements of different attributes hovering around his body as they cheered excitedly in the air. The wind element supported his body, the water and fire elements spun around his body, while light nourished his body. All the different sensations changed Tang Wulin’s perception of the entire Douluo Continent.

‘Is this the true world of the Douluo Continent?’

Naturally, he acquainted himself with the Spirit Domain thoroughly after receiving the care of the entire Douluo Continent plane. At the same time, Tang Wulin’s perception of every element outside was enhanced countless times. He had an affinity for the elements which far exceeded other soul masters.

The entire plane was attracted to him, so it was easier for him to absorb the origin energy now. Tang Wulin sensed the elements of different attributes passing through his body naturally and the pleasant sensation of being one with the sky. He could not help heaving a sigh in secret as he thought about how difficult it was when he first began cultivating many years ago. He remembered yielding half the result with twice the effort. He clearly recalled the disappointment and agony he felt when he purchased the Goldsong after he had worked painstakingly to earn enough money.

At the time, he had thought of giving up and quitting cultivation altogether. After all, he had a useless martial soul and even the spirit soul he bought with his hard-earned money turned out to be a defective creature.

Fortunately, he persisted. Forging had made him firm, resolute, and ardent such that he took it one step at a time till today.

Everything was albeit related to the Golden Dragon King Seal inside his body. More importantly, it was also the relentless effort of his spirit.

Now that he had attained some accomplishment in his cultivation base, he could go looking for his parents and her at last. No matter how difficult his path forward was, he would overcome it.

As long as he had a firm belief, it would not be an issue. Jiang Wuyue watched Tang Wulin flying in front of him as he felt powerless.

Back in the beginning, Tang Wulin was a nobody, but a newly recruited soldier, when he first met him. At the time, Jiang Wuyue was already a battalion master who was daring and full-spirited.

When he first sparred with Tang Wulin, he did not feel that the disparity between them both was so huge.

Yet, Tang Wulin had grown stronger in the course of time. Moreover, his growth rate was terrifying. Jiang Wuyue could not even comprehend the extent of Tang Wulin’s development.

The final battle provided Jiang Wuyue the opportunity to witness Tang Wulin express his graceful king-like disposition. Although Tang Wulin borrowed the Blood Gods Great Array’s strength, he managed to suppress the entire abyss almost by himself! In his eyes, it seemed to be the case.

The two words ‘love rival’ had appeared in his mind once before but it was now long gone. How could Jiang Wuyue compete when they were utterly on different levels?

Fortunately, Tang Wulin already had a girlfriend. Was the girl who appeared at the end his girlfriend? If it was the case, then it was truly…

At this point, Jiang Wuyue looked toward Long Yuxue by his side.

Apart from Tang Wulin, Sima Jinchi, and A Ruheng, the rest of them were flying their black mechas. After all, flying for a prolonged period without a seven-ringed cultivation base consumed a large amount of energy despite being clad in one’s battle armor. The greatest advantage of the mecha was that it did not consume one’s physical strength.

Long Yuxue’s black mecha was streamlined. Compared to the others, her newly-forged black mecha appeared elegant. It was about seven meters tall and svelte just like her figure. There was no other weapon on her body except for a giant-sized soul firearm. Her firearm was over eight meters long and needed to be carried askew on the mecha’s back. The firearm was dark blue with countless fine runes engraved on its surface. The gun barrel was over three meters in length. It was called a firearm but should be considered a cannon instead.

Despite Jiang Wuyue’s cultivation base, he felt a piercing pain when he took a glance at it.

On the other hand, Long Yuxue who was seated in her mecha was watching Tang Wulin before her. As opposed to Jiang Wuyue’s frustration, she felt perplexed.
