Soul Land 3: Legend Of The Dragon King

Chapter 1853: Remain True to Yourself at All Times

Holding it in his hand, Tang Wulin was immediately struck by the feeling that he had been reborn anew, that his entire body had been cleansed.

Through his Divine Origin realm spiritual power, he could clearly sense that every single cell in every corner of his body was jumping for joy.

It was as if countless small worlds had taken shape inside his body, and countless lives were being nurtured in each small world.

This was an incredible feeling that words couldn’t describe, and Tang Wulin merely stood on the spot while faint bluish-golden light radiated from his entire body.

Tang San appraised his son with a faint smile on his face, then pointed the Golden Dragon Spear at Tang Wulin from afar.

A deranged aura immediately erupted out of the Golden Dragon Spear, as if Tang San were holding an insane dragon in his hand rather than a spear.

He cast a calm gaze toward Tang Wulin, and said, “You must remain true to yourself at all times; only then will there be light in your life. All emotions of insanity will only ever be surface-level manifestations. Perhaps they can infiltrate our bodies and even our hearts, but they can never infiltrate our souls. Whatever difficulties or changes you encounter in the future, you must retain that shred of clarity in your soul; only then will you prevail!”

Tang San’s words exploded in Tang Wulin’s mind like a string of thunderclaps, causing his Divine Origin realm spiritual power to fluctuate violently. Within his mind, a huge golden character that was completely formed by divine sense took shape.

Tang Wulin felt his mind begin to tremble, and in the face of such enormous spiritual pressure, he felt as if his mind were about to shatter at any moment.

However, right at this moment, the Sea God’s Trident in his hand released a placid aura to nurture his body and mind, allowing that huge golden character to completely brand itself into the deepest part of his soul, thereby fusing as one with him.

After an indeterminate period of time, Tang Wulin finally came to, but as soon as he regained his sight, his pupils instantly contracted as that ferocious golden dragon had already arrived in front of him.

He reflexively took a step back before sweeping his Sea God’s Trident upward, instantly entering the spear essence realm.

The upward strike was very simple and direct, yet it struck the head of the fierce dragon with unerring accuracy.

A crisp clang rang out, and the Golden Dragon Spear returned to its original form. However, in that instant, Tang Wulin felt as if the pressure on his golden trident was abruptly lifted, as if the Golden Dragon Spear had suddenly disappeared.

Countless spear projections then erupted forth right in front of him, instantly encompassing his entire body, and it was astounding to him that Fury of the Masses could be used in this manner.

He curled up into a defensive position before releasing his Golden Dragon Tyrant Body, and the surface of his battle armor instantly became as smooth as a mirror. At the same time, he drew a circle in the air with his Sea God’s Trident in a gesture that was so well-rehearsed it was essentially second nature to him at this point.

Having already battled his father countless times, he had learned so much through practical combat, and one of the most important lessons that he had learned was that the pinnacle of complexity was simplicity.

During their battles, Tang Wulin noticed that his father very rarely used complex abilities. Everything seemed to be so simple, yet veiled behind the simplicity was all types of diverse variations.

Throughout their battles, Tang San had never said anything to instruct Tang Wulin. Instead, he was allowing Tang Wulin to learn at his own pace through these battles.

The pinnacle of complexity was simplicity; what kind of concept was this? In practical application, this involved imbuing all complex variations into the simplest of techniques. 

For example, this very simple-looking circular motion contained countless possible variations that could be drawn upon according to how the opponent reacted. All of these variations were concealed within the technique and not revealed right away, so the opponent wouldn’t be able to predict what was to come.

This simple circular motion had made Tang Wulin feel as if he were sinking into quicksand, as if it would inevitably be his downfall no matter how he reacted.

He had imitated this gesture and analyzed it many times, and only now was he just beginning to understand it.

This concept could be used on any ability, and the key was to find the core of the technique.

Once that was done, there would be countless ways to unleash the technique, and to put it in simpler terms, this was essentially a process of refinement.

His Dragon Emperor Restriction Techniques involved fusing all of his abilities to create several almighty attacks, which was also a very good thing, but through his battles with his father, Tang Wulin realized that his Dragon Emperor Restriction Techniques were extremely powerful, but they were lacking in variation.

It was often the case that after a single attack, there would be no follow-up and certainly no continuation.

Throughout his battles against his father, he began to learn the skill of refinement, and only as he unleashed this circular motion to perfection for the first time did he truly understand what he was doing. Not only had he entered the spear essence realm, he felt as if his entire being had also entered a mysterious and profound world.

Initially, he was only able to last a few exchanges in battle against his father, but now, their battles had become far lengthier. As long as his father didn’t use Unpredictable Storm, he was already able to resist for a very long time.

“Clang!”

Only one of the spear projections unleashed by Tang San’s Fury of the Masses struck the Sea God’s Trident, yet it was as if something had been triggered, and all of the spear projections converged to form a single point that instantly arrived before Tang Wulin.

The vicious aura of the fierce dragon instantly threatened to devour Tang Wulin, and his heart abruptly thumped violently like a war drum.

His blood essence erupted forth as dragon’s repulse, and using this propulsion force, he was able to quickly fall back in retreat.

At the same time, he slashed his Sea God’s Trident through the air, and white clouds appeared in the space around him, warping and blurring everything.

Millennium White Clouds!

Tang San’s eyes remained calm and clear as he gently swept his Golden Dragon Spear upward in what appeared to be a completely harmless gesture, yet a bluish-golden halo suddenly appeared around him like a door of light. Stepping through the door of light, it was as if he had stepped through a span of a millennium, and in the next instant, all of the white clouds were already behind him.

“That’s cheating!” Tang Wulin exclaimed.

He could clearly sense that this definitely wasn’t an ability that his father possessed in his pre-god form; this time of space-time travel was clearly a godly technique, not something that any human could achieve.

Tang San’s smile widened as he conjured up a series of golden halos with his Golden Dragon Spear; this was none other than his Unpredictable Storm.

On this occasion, the technique was completely different. The halos seemed to possess substantial form, and as they approached Tang Wulin, it was as if they were imbued with the essence of the Great Dao and the laws of the universe.

Tang Wulin immediately also unleashed Unpredictable Storm with his Sea God’s Trident.

As expected, now that he was using a transcendent divine weapon, his Unpredictable Storm had also become different. The sea was now his foundation, and all of his golden halos also seemed to have attained a substantial form. They had been imbued with the boundless power of the sea.

The halos clashed with each other, and one halo after another was destroyed, but in the end, the sea was unable to contend with the vast power of the universe.

In the next instant, Tang Wulin and the Sea God’s Trident were bound tightly by the oncoming halos.

The light faded, and Tang San arrived in front of Tang Wulin before taking back his Sea God’s Trident.

Looking at Tang Wulin’s indignant expression, he couldn’t help but chuckle, “You must think I cheated, right?”

“Yes!” Tang Wulin replied.

Tang San smiled, and said, “This is what it feels like to face a god; you have to experience this now as you may have to face something similar to this in the near future. Face all upcoming obstacles with courage, my son.”
