The Legend of the Dragon King

It was the closest to the Golden Dragon King Bloodline out of all Tang Wulin’s spirit souls. Even though he had not joined with the Overlord Dragon for as long as Goldsong, his bloodline certainly exerted a huge effect on it. It had had a kind of awakening due to the Golden Dragon King Bloodline, causing it to undergo a continuous transformation process.

The pair of wings on its back that once seemed small had grown much bigger now. There was even an enormous horn that grew out of the top of its head. Judging by its appearance, even the most experienced teacher in the former Shrek Academy would not recognize what kind of creature it was. The sight of it had doubtlessly shocked the entire crowd.

It was so monstrously large and dreadful! What sort of spirit soul was it? It was so fearsome.

As the giant beast appeared, Goldsong was encountering a difficult situation on the other side. The green silhouette had charged forward at full speed. It was so swift that Goldsong could not manage to dodge in time. “Ding!” A crisp sound was heard. Goldsong had only managed to close its eyes when its eyelids were struck by the green radiance.

Excruciating pain made Goldsong scream out in agony. The aura on its body rose abruptly as it unleashed the Dragon Air and the Golden Dragon Tremor Burst.

The green light was blasted away by the Golden Dragon Tremor Burst but it soon transformed into an arrow of green light that flew at Goldsong once again.

“That’s the Emerald Demon Bird!”

The words left Tang Wulin’s mouth as he recalled the name of that figure of green light.

This Emerald Demon Bird was even more powerful than the one captured by Gu Yuena and Tang Wulin years ago. Its green silhouette had already turned translucent as if it was a jade carving. Its speed was so swift and its attacking ability was so powerful that Goldsong was incapable of blocking its attack, despite its skill.

The one-hundred-thousand-year Emerald Demon Bird was also Zhang Geyang’s final soul ring’s spirit soul. Of his four one-hundred-thousand-year soul rings, three were provided by the Sapphire Phoenix and only the last soul ring came from the one-hundred-thousand-year Emerald Demon Bird.

The ninth soul ring, provided by the Emerald Demon Bird, was not especially powerful, but it carried an extremely potent effect on Zhang Geyang’s defence. On the other hand, he valued the spirit soul’s own fighting capacity even more.

Even though the Emerald Demon Bird was small in size, it was the nemesis of almost all large soul beasts. In the world of soul beasts, it was a true killer. Even a beast-ranked creature dreaded its presence very much.

Goldsong was bewildered after the Emerald Demon Bird’s multiple attacks despite its tiny body size. If not because spirit souls were not truly physical bodies, Goldsong could possibly have suffered from even more severe injuries at this point.

The Emerald Demon Bird’s distinguishing trait was its super swift speed. Every time it charged forward, it would exceed the speed of sound and create sonic booms in the air. Its tiny body size could create such formidable attacks that were incomparably majestic.

On the other side, after being blasted away earlier, the Hell Flame had recovered after a single roll of its body. It pounced sideways and circled away from the giant beast standing before it.

Under Zhang Geyang’s orders, the Sapphire Phoenix swayed its body and dazzling flames bloomed out from wings while its body began to grow. It transformed into a massive fiery phoenix with a wingspan of over thirty meters in length as it began wrangling the Overlord Dragon in the air.

The Sapphire Phoenix was a one-hundred-year spirit soul after all. The strength of its sapphire flames had even surpassed Overlord Dragon’s Duskgold Dragonfire. Patches of sapphire flames were burning all over the Overlord Dragon’s body. It roared in rage as it launched a stream of attacks at the Sapphire Phoenix. The two great spirit souls fought one another in a pretty even match. Neither could surpass the other at first.

Judging from the surface, there was no doubt that Zhang Geyang had the upper hand once again. The Hell Flame Beast and the Thunderclap Nether Vine only needed to finish off the Damask Tulip.

Goldsong was in a critical situation as it was completely overwhelmed by the Emerald Demon Bird. In truth, the Emerald Demon Bird was capable of suppressing the vast majority of large soul beasts.

However, Tang Wulin appeared to be unusually calm. His entire body was still blooming with green-gold radiance, and he did not seem to be emotionally affected by the changes before his eyes.

The Hell Flame Demon arrived before the Damask Tulip in a split second. Its front claws slashed at the Damask Tulip with lightning speed. Its hell flame was not only capable of burning one’s body but also one’s soul at the same time. Fire was always considered the most terrifying weapon for plants.

However, when it arrived, the Hell Flame Beast found the Damask Tulip had cracked a ghastly smile.

“Bang!” A sudden, intense force radiated through the Hell Flame Beast’s entire body in a split second. It went numb and froze in mid-air.

A bamboo-like vine lashed onto its waist ferociously. Piercing electric plasma shot through its body, making the Hell Flame Beast howl in pain before crashing onto the ground savagely.

Not only that, streams of giant dragon-like thunderbolts surged skyward all of a sudden.

The second spirit soul to suffer was the Emerald Demon Bird.

No matter how swift it was, the Emerald Demon Bird could only achieve supersonic speed, while the thunderbolts were fast as light.

“Boom!” A bolt struck the Emerald Demon Bird’s body precisely and blasted until it had to pause in mid-air.

Goldsong had been struggling to deal with the Emerald Demon Bird’s attack, so it was not going to let such a good opportunity go to waste. It widened its mouth and let out a Golden Dragon Roar. The tremor shook the Emerald Demon Bird until its entire body was numb and knocked it down from the sky. The Emerald Demon Bird was captured in Goldsong’s sharp claws at lightning speed.

It hated Emerald Demon Bird to its bones. Its front claws ripped the Emerald Demon Bird spirit soul into shreds in a split second.

As long as the soul master was still alive, the spirit soul would never truly die. However, a slain spirit soul would still need a very long period of time to recuperate its origin energy and the soul master would be affected as well. It would harm the soul master’s body and spirit.

Zhang Geyang gave out a muffled grunt as blood seeped out from his nose and mouth, his eyes filled with disbelief.

Countless dragon-like lightning bolts surged skyward. They danced about in the sky and blocked every possible escape path available to the Sapphire Phoenix. The Overlord Dragon swung its gigantic tail once again but this time, there was nowhere for the Sapphire Phoenix to hide. It could only spurt out a burst of flames.

“Boom! Boom! Boom!” A series of loud booming sounds was heard in the sky. The radiance emitted from the lightning and the firework-like sparks interwove into a scene that was beyond magnificent.

“Boom!” Sapphire Phoenix was struck by the Overlord Dragon’s tail. Not only that, Overlord Dragon charged at it like lightning. Despite its massive body, it was just like a small soul beast at the exact moment of impact. The horn on its head slammed into Sapphire Phoenix’s body ferociously and pierced through it.

The Sapphire Phoenix gave out a sorrowful cry. The flames burning on its body converged to seal the wound. However, it was clear that its entire body had shrunk by one-third.

The Overlord Dragon stamped its right foot on the ground resulting in a loud, violent boom. A Duskgold flare burst out from underneath the Sapphire Phoenix’s body and pushed it higher into the sky. Overlord Dragon widened its massive mouth and spurted out a gush of Duskgold Dragonfire to the sky.

Goldsong caught up from behind. It transformed into a brilliant stream of light in mid-air. It was the Golden Dragon Soars to the Heaven.

No matter how powerful Sapphire Phoenix’s defense, it could not help howling in pain as it retreated steadily after being confronted by the rapid attacks.

Zhang Geyang’s expression appeared somewhat unpleasant. With a wave of his right hand, the Sapphire Phoenix turned into a stream of light and returned to his body. On the other side, the Hell Flame Beast had already been completely devoured by the sea of electric plasma.

Not only Zhang Geyang, but also all the spectators, including powerful soul masters and ordinary people, were in a stupified state upon witnessing this turn of events.

What was happening here? How did he manage to suddenly turn the tide?

Zhang Geyang still had a clear upper hand a moment ago while the spirit souls that belonged to the Tang Sect’s Sect Master were about to be defeated. How did the situation take a turn for the worse all of a sudden? It had only taken a few breaths’ time for one out of Zhang Geyang’s four great spirit souls to be destroyed and another to be defeated. Had the remaining spirit soul gone rogue?

Yes, everything had begun from the moment the Thunderclap Nether Vine turned quiet and paused.

When the Hell Flame Beast was about to attack to Damask Tulip head-on, the Thunderclap Nether Vine had suddenly made its move. It was its vines that had pierced through the Hell Flame Beast’s body under the influence of the Thunderclap Electrifying Dance. Its Thunderclap Electrifying Dance had also trapped the Sapphire Phoenix, and it was even its Thunderclap Electrifying Dance that stopped the Emerald Demon Bird.

Judging from individual ability, it could not compare to the Sapphire Phoenix or the Emerald Demon Bird. Nevertheless, its ability to destroy energy had surpassed both of them, especially the Emerald Demon Bird. Just like how Emerald Demon Bird was the nemesis of most soul beasts, it was the nemesis of the Emerald Demon Bird. Thus, the Emerald Demon Bird died so tragically.

Everything happened in the briefest of moments. The Thunderclap Nether Vine’s sudden about-face resulted in the complete turnaround of events in this competition. The result of the match was clear.

Zhang Geyang’s four great spirit souls were defeated.

Even the commentator had forgotten to announce the victor and loser of the match.

Zhang Geyang’s face was already filled with murderous intent after a moment of idleness. With a single flash, he pounced toward Tang Wulin.

Faint blue flames marked his body with the same color. It made him appear extremely ferocious especially his facial expression.
