The Legend of the Dragon King

The Amorous Douluo, the Heartless Douluo, and the Light Dark Douluo were leading the powerhouses from the Tang Sect and Shrek Academy. To ensure they could come over at once, Tang Wulin led the Qilin Douluo Tong Yu, the Holy Spirit Douluo Yali, and the two great Limit Douluos from the Titan Giant Ape clan after discussing with them. They flew at full speed all the way to the frontline. Fortunately, they arrived in time to save Guo Zhenfeng.

“Regimental Commander Guo, please take a breather and leave the rest to us.” Upon saying that, Tang Wulin leaped into the sky with the Golden Dragon Spear in his hand.

The most important person on the entire battlefield was him, because he was the only person capable of killing the abyssal creatures in its true sense.

Tang Wulin flew into the sky. He did not dive into the battlefield right away. Instead, he raised the Golden Dragon Spear high up in his hand and infused his soul power fully into the spear. The large amount of airflow formed from the dead abyssal creatures gathered toward him akin to rivers converging into the sea.

A dense life force surged into his body at once like a swarm of bees. Despite Tang Wulin’s cultivation base, he felt like he was close to suffocating as if a strong gale was blowing against his face.

However, he was not the Tang Wulin who fought against the abyssal creatures in the Blood God Army back in those days. He mobilized the soul core and Dragon Core in his body rapidly to absorb and convert the dense life source. He then transferred a large portion of the life source to the Ancient Life Tree in the distance via the Life Seed in him.

He would need a very long time to digest and absorb the large amount of life force having absorbed too much in such a short while. He reached a point where he could no longer continue absorbing anymore.

He had faced such a situation before when he was at the Blood God Army in the past. He almost broke the Golden Dragon King Seal after absorbing too much life force back then. As a result, he could not absorb any more abyssal life force whereby his consumption was reduced on the abyssal plane.

Currently, the situation was different when he transferred most of the energy to the Ancient Life Tree. The life force needed by the Ancient Life Tree was almost limitless. There was utterly no need for him to worry that the Ancient Life Tree would be oversaturated. It served as the perfect venting point for him. With such a venting point, he was not concerned about the amount of life force he was absorbing.

Tang Wulin was already close to the Limit Douluo rank. The abyssal creatures before him were now ten to a hundred times more than in the past. Nonetheless, it did not bother him to continue absorbing these abyssal creatures.

The abyssal creatures continued surging in their assault which was akin to a raging storm. However, these creatures turned into flying dust when confronted by the three great Limit Douluos namely, the Holy Spirit Douluo, the Titan Douluo, and the Heavenly Wild Douluo.

The Darkness Bell had already vanished without a trace by now.

Tang Wulin surveyed the area in the sky. However, he dared not let his guard down although Tong Yu was by his side. The abyssal plane’s true powerhouses had yet to appear, but it did not mean that there was none in the surroundings. The abyssal plane was aware of the efficacy of Tang Wulin on the abyssal creatures. In his presence, the abyssal plane would be subdued to a certain level. On the other hand, he had become a target for the abyssal plane to finish off as soon as possible.

The collision between the two parties did not last long. In less than ten minutes, after losing tens of thousands of abyssal creatures, the unceasing, inexhaustible, tide-like abyssal legion finally retreated.

The Limit Douluos did not continue to pursue. They retreated after having pushed back the abyssal creatures.

Thule was already a mess. They could end up in the opponent’s trap at any moment if they chose to pursue further. The most important task now was to set down good defense lines as soon as possible to ensure that the opponents could not invade again.

At the moment, Guo Zhenfeng was relieved at last. He sat on the ground and retracted his three-word battle armor.

His gaze appeared to be in a daze. He was not beaming with joy although the formidable enemy had retreated. He felt like he had been dreaming for the past few days. Within a few short days, his comrades had died in succession. The Northern Army Corps which was made up of a hundred thousand people had less than a fifth of its initial numbers now. Moreover, many of the survivors were injured.

Had it not been the Holy Spirit Douluo’s group treatment earlier, many of these people would have died from exhaustion.

In just a few days, the initially thriving Northern Army Corps now suffered from a huge, crushing blow. He felt incapable of withstanding the feeling despite his strong temperament.

As the regimental commander, one could imagine his agony after witnessing the death of his brothers in the battle. There was nothing he could do. When more than two thirds of an organization suffered an operational loss, the whole organization would fail!

Tang Wulin frowned deeply and heaved a sigh.

He could feel the agony in Guo Zhenfeng’s heart. Peace had lasted far too long. Other than the Blood God Army, the rest of the great army corps did not have to engage in battles except military exercises. But, how could military exercises compare to a real war? Especially when it involved fighting against entities like the abyssal creatures.

The numerous Limit Douluos returned to Tang Wulin’s side. The four great Limit Douluos who stood by his side naturally protected him.

“How is it?” Yali asked Tang Wulin.

Tang Wulin said, “Just as expected, the Golden Dragon Spear is genuinely capable of devouring the abyssal creatures’ life force. I’ve already transferred a large portion of the life force to the Ancient Life Tree. Will everyone please protect me while I communicate with the Ancient Life Tree?”

As he was speaking, Tang Wulin sat cross-legged on the ground. He closed his eyes and began to communicate with the Ancient Life Tree in the distance.

A faint green-gold halo surrounded Tang Wulin’s body. At this precise moment, the people standing around him were the four great Limit Douluos! Let alone the ordinary Northern Army Corps’ soldiers, even the regimental commander Guo Zhenfeng was immensely shocked by the occasion.

He only heard of stories about Tang Wulin before. He knew that a new leader was chosen in Shrek Academy. Furthermore, the leader was extraordinarily powerful. This was his first meeting with the leader.

Tang Wulin was way younger than he had imagined. Tang Wulin was not only young, but he had incomparably powerful capabilities. Not to mention, Tang Wulin was also his savior.

Of the four great Limit Douluos around Tang Wulin, Guo Zhenfeng could only recognize the Holy Spirit Douluo Yali. He had never seen nor heard of the rest of the Limit Douluos.

At present, Tang Wulin was deeply immersed in meditation while being protected by the four great Limit Douluos. The strange green-gold halo was brimming with vitality such that the deathly mountain peak which suffered from the abyssal creatures’ attack earlier seemed to have regained vitality.

All the Northern Army Corps’ soldiers including Guo Zhenfeng could feel the green-gold aura emanating from Tang Wulin’s body. They felt comfortable and relaxed.

Soon after, Tang Wulin completed his communication with the Ancient Life Tree.

The first thing he felt was jubilance. The flourishing Ancient Life Tree was unleashing an intense aura toward him just like how it was, after absorbing the life force from the demon legion, in the past.

Tang Wulin could obviously sense the tremendous life force from the Ancient Life Tree.

Ever since it absorbed the life force from the demon legion, the Ancient Life Tree was revitalized. However, it was not adequate as a tremendous amount of life force was needed to replenish the Ancient Life Tree. Tang Wulin once attempted to get more by entering the Great Star Dou Forest. In the midst of it, he encountered the Beast God Di Tian and was almost trapped there.

Afterward, Tang Wulin did not have the courage to go there anymore. After all, the beasts were so powerful that even the other ordinary soul beasts could not rival.

In any case, Tang Wulin managed to devour the life force of the thousands of abyssal creatures earlier. The Ancient Life Tree received the nourishment from the abundant life force once again. Although it was less than the demon legion previously, the number of abyssal creatures here was plentiful. Due to Tang Wulin’s cultivation base being far superior at present, it provided a good opportunity for him.

The abyssal legion withdrew just like the tide, leaving behind a vast stretch of land.
