The Legend of the Dragon King

Chapter 1438: Godly Power

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

This was true destructive power. It destroyed both time and space simultaneously.

Di Tian looked shocked. It was godly power! Although Tang Wulin only unleashed a minute portion of it, he clearly felt the flow of time around him accelerate suddenly during the clash. It was a soul beast with more than eight hundred thousand years of cultivation base. Besides, it only managed to survive its previous divine punishment with some effort. All these years, it had been relying on the Life Fountain’s energy to sustain its own life force. At the same time, it compressed time as much as it could so that it would no longer age. However, in the face of the Millennium Cloud, it clearly felt the passage of time. If this went on, it would most probably face its next divine punishment ahead of schedule!

After a soul beast had broken through a hundred-thousand years of cultivation base, it would evolve into a great beast. A great beast was not immortal yet. Every ten years, a great beast would have to face a divine punishment. If the great beast managed to survive the mighty forces of the divine punishment, it would survive for another hundred thousand years.

For soul beasts, their strength were related to their ages. However, it was not just a measure of how long they had lived. Rather, it was the growth in their cultivation bases and the transformation of their bodies.

Take the Thunderclap Nether Vine, for example. It had cultivated to the rank of a hundred thousand years, but it might have used only ten thousand or twenty thousand years to achieve it.

As for Di Tian, it was not exactly eight hundred thousand years old. As the Golden-eyed Black Dragon King, it had cultivated at an extremely fast pace when it was young. It had attained a hundred thousand years’ cultivation base in less than ten thousand years. When it was at thirty thousand years, it endured its first divine punishment. Up until now, it had already experienced many divine punishments. Although it evolved, its body was aging as well.

It knew that if it did not become a god, it would not be able to escape its next divine punishment no matter what it did.

A million years was the limit for all the powerful soul beasts. In the history of soul beasts, only the most powerful soul beasts could attain such a cultivation base. There was no exception. Often, they were only able to achieve it by relying on some external forces.

It was also the case for the Spirit Ice Douluo Huo Yuhao’s core spirit soul, the Skydream Iceworm. It managed to attain a million years’ cultivation base by remaining in its slumber for a million years in the ten-thousand year Deep Ice. In reality, it did not possess any attacking power. What it gave the Spirit Ice Douluo Huo Yuhao were enhancing abilities.

Coupled with his own extensive knowledge and with the Skydream Iceworm’s help, he eventually became a god. Subsequently, he created soul spirits and brought change to the soul masters’ realm.

However, Di Tian could not do this. It was born with the most powerful soul beast bloodline. Precisely because of this, the divine punishments it faced were exceptionally powerful. It was able to endure all that because it was gifted with talent. It had lived up to its name of the Beast God.

Based on its current body condition and the slowing down of its life’s aging process, it could still hold out for another thirty thousand years before it had to face another divine punishment. However, within a brief period, the Millennium Cloud had accelerated its aging process. It even broke the seal on its life energy which was meant to keep the energy from diminishing.

Although Tang Wulin was improving at a fast pace, his strength was still no match against Di Tian. Presently, with the effect of his Millennium Cloud, the Beast God suffered a great loss.

Previously, the Monster Academy’s Limit Douluo principal, the Holy Dragon Douluo En Ci faced the Millennium Cloud under similar circumstances. The Millennium Cloud was not as developed back then, while Tang Wulin only had his Golden Dragon Spear.

Currently, Tang Wulin was using the Sea God’s Trident!

His Golden Dragon Spear was also a divine weapon, but it was a part of the Golden Dragon King’s body, and not the Dragon God. In terms of rank, it was inferior to the Dragon Clan’s power saber. It was suitable for the Golden Dragon King and was extremely powerful with unique abilities.

On the other hand, the Golden Trident was the Sea God’s inborn weapon. As a rank-1 deity in the Divine Realm, the Sea God was inherited by the then Thousand Hands Douluo Tang San. Tang San who was one of the Five Great God Kings managed the Divine Realm. The Sea God’s Trident evolved continuously and had always been by his side. How could the Golden Dragon Spear compare with it?

Moreover, the Millennium Cloud was a soul skill that was unleashed from the Sea God’s Golden Trident directly.

The Beast God suffered a great loss before it knew the truth.

However, Tang Wulin was not Tang San. He could not bring out the full extent of the Golden Trident’s might. The Millennium Cloud’s aura weakened gradually as the terrifying black hole grew.

Despair seemed to be upon it. In a fit of rage, Di Tian let loose its terrifying power of darkness.

Even both the experts, the Thousand Demon King and the Bear Lord retreated. They did not want to come into contact with it.

Tang Wulin’s heart remained calm. He knew that when his life was truly threatened, the power his father left within him would be activated. Currently, he was in a dire situation. He could only escape with his comrades by relying on the power which his father left him.

However, his heart was reluctant. He knew that before he had the strength to look for his father, he only had three opportunities of seeing him. He had used one of it when he assimilated the Thunderclap Nether Vine which was not too long ago. If he used his second chance now, he would only have one chance left to meet his father in the future.

He was pining for the days when Old Tang was still around. Although Old Tang was only a projection of his father, he still met him and listened to his teachings.

All kinds of thoughts popped up in his mind as the terrifying devouring power closed in on him. Everyone including Tang Wulin unleashed their energies to fend off the encroaching black hole. However, the Beast God was just too powerful.

At this moment, the Golden Trident suddenly burst forth with radiance!

‘Father, is that you?’ Tang Wulin asked in his heart. His heart was yearning, and his eyes were wet. The feeling of being protected moved him.

In the next moment, however, he noticed something was amiss.

His father’s familiar aura did not appear. Instead, he was enveloped within a golden light barrier unleashed by the Sea God’s Trident. The golden radiance erupted and shattered the black hole before him. Immediately, Tang Wulin felt the world turn upside down, and he lost consciousness.

From the others’ viewpoints, they saw a flash of golden light. Subsequently, Di Tian’s attack was penetrated. Then, Tang Wulin was sucked away by the golden light. The Sea God’s Trident immediately turned into a beam of golden light which shot into the skies. It went through the big hole created by the space-time’s destructive power and vanished into thin air instantly.

A terrifying energy shockwave pervaded the place. The Shrek Six Monsters and Sima Jinchi stared with their mouths agape. The Four Great Beasts were also stunned.

Did Tang Wulin just disappear before the Beast God Di Tian’s powerful attack?

How did he do it?

Di Tian was also stunned. How was this possible? What was that power just now? It felt as if it belonged to the divine weapon itself. Tang Wulin clearly did not activate the divine weapon’s power. Could the divine weapon be protecting its master on its own accord?

If it was truly the divine weapon’s power, what was its relationship with Tang Wulin?

A guttural roar was heard. The Bear Lord howled furiously. Its huge sharp claws bore down toward the Shrek Six Monsters and Sima Jinchi.

“Enough!” a stern voice suddenly appeared. A crack suddenly appeared in the air and a giant claw materialized out of thin air.

The giant claw had a diameter of more than a hundred meters. Even the Bear Lord seemed tiny compared to it.

The Bear Lord’s Duskgold Dreadclaw was blocked by it. With a swat, the Bear Lord’s body reeled and crashed heavily into the distance.

Shortly after, a silver radiance shone from the giant claw and covered the Six Monsters and Sima Jinchi. There was another burst of light and they vanished as well.

The Beast God snapped back to his senses. He quickly bowed in reverence. “My Lord.”

The Thousand Demon King and the Hell Demon Dragon King also displayed their reverence. They were in awe more than anything else. With the display of the claw, they felt the return of their lord. It was the lord who had just woken up underground. It had returned! It no longer assumed the fragile form of a human. Its power seemed to be completely recovered.

With a flash of silver light, the giant claw transformed into a humanoid form and appeared before them.

She had her hands behind her and was completely enveloped in a silvery radiance. “You guys never listen to anything I say.”

Di Tian knelt with one knee on the ground. “My lord, we daren’t.”

“You daren’t? How are you going to explain what happened just now?” said the silver silhouette coldly.

In fact, she had arrived here early on. She had been observing the entire battle but did not interfere. She was also shocked by Tang Wulin’s departure. When she saw that the Six Monsters were about to be destroyed, she made a move to stop the battle.
