The Legend of the Dragon King

The lord of the plane’s power was cut off by the abyssal Sage King, but the Ancient Life Tree still thrived in Shrek Academy.

This was not the time to consider the cost. This was the time for them to gather all their powers to defeat the formidable enemy regardless.

Tang Wulin closed his eyes. He sensed the Ancient Life Tree’s aura silently through the sound of all mankind’s cheering. He had no idea what was the condition of the Ancient Life Tree after the Life Subtree was destroyed by the abyssal Sage King.

The aura of the Nature’s Child diffused to the outside to sense the existence of the Ancient Life Tree, and a warm aura suddenly radiated through the surrounding area. A rich, green glow spread out from Tang Wulin’s body.

Not only that, the glowing image of a gigantic umbrella-shaped tree gradually took form in the sky in the southern part of the inner Douluo Continent.

When the green glow shined upon the land, every soldier present could clearly sense the rich life source coiling around their bodies. The fatigue and cold they felt vanished into nothingness.

What was that?

The scene was not only experienced by the soldiers as the people in every corner of the Douluo Federation could see it as well. Even though they had no idea what it was, anyone could tell that this was absolutely a great thing for the frontline soldiers.

What was most important now? The crucial factor was confidence!

Excited emotions began to spread, filing everyone with enthusiasm once again.

Tang Wulin gazed into the Ancient Life Tree’s projected image in the distance, his lips tightly pursed. He had no idea what was the significance of the Ancient Life Tree, but he was well aware that the final opportunity was already upon him. They would still stand a slim chance anyhow.

Three days’ time was about to arrive. The Amorous Douluo and the Heartless Douluo sacrificed their lives to buy them some time and give them this final opportunity.

‘Come, Sage King. We’ll be waiting for you here.’

At that moment, the unity of will was an impregnable stronghold!

The soldiers began to move out under the command of the military officers. Their depression from earlier had all disappeared. They were filled with vigor and vitality by the nourishment of the Ancient Life Tree. They swiftly began making preparations to construct the defensive lines. The powerhouses were elevating themselves with great effort while basking in the rich life source brought by the Ancient Life Tree.

It was also at this time when a door of light slowly opened up nearby. Two massive hulking silhouettes walked out from it. They moved with a steady gait and assumed a reserved bearing.

Tang Wulin was immediately overjoyed upon seeing them. He flapped the dragon wings on his back and landed on the ground like a golden meteor to welcome them.

“Uncles, you’re here.”

Yes, the two silhouettes that walked out from the light door were the Azure Oxpython Da Ming and the Titan Giant Ape Er Ming. They were the two top-ranked Beast Kings that guarded the Ten Thousand Beast Platform.

Judging by their age, they could not compare to Di Tian. However, their cultivation bases were absolutely no less than the Beast God. After all, they used to live in the Divine Realm and were the brothers of the Sea God Tang San.

“With the skin gone, what can the hair attach to? Although the Douluo Continent has been ravaged by your humans, it’s still a part of us,” said Da Ming indifferently. He quickly shifted his eyes toward the light shield that sealed the abyssal passage.

Er Ming winked at Tang Wulin. “Wulin, we’re counting on you.”

Tang Wulin took a deep breath and nodded strenuously.

“First ancestor.”

Yuanen Zhentian, Yuanen Tiandang, and the rest of the Titan Giant Ape clansmen hastily stepped forward upon seeing Er Ming. They saluted him respectfully.

Er Ming chuckled and waved his hand to dismiss them. “There’s no need for such etiquette. All of you are great.”

At that point, the remaining human Limit Douluos were only half the number they had been at their peak. Moreover, the quasigods had all fallen. The addition of the two great Beast Gods would undoubtedly elevate their overall capacity.

The abyssal creatures were not the big issue and they were confident that they could manage it. The only issue was whether they were capable of withstanding the abyssal Sage King.

The Sage King was enough to destroy everything else. It was only possible to achieve the final victory by stopping him first.

The people had gathered at the frontline and waited silently. This time, even the Divine Brush Douluo Yu Guanzhi and the Bright Mirror Douluo Zhang Huanyun were there.

At this point in the war, the leadership was no longer significant anymore.

Tang Wulin looked at Gu Yuena by his side. His confidence was already reignited. Because of the woman next to him, he would never allow himself to lose.

“Gu Yue, do you think I should open up one more seal? Or should I just open up all the seals? I think that I should be able to withstand the process after my body is elevated to God rank.”

Gu Yuena’s expression changed drastically. She quickly shook her head and said, “No, absolutely not. I sensed the seals inside your body before. It’s extremely powerful and also extremely ingenious. I think it was left to you by your father. You should know that the three final seals are containing the Golden Dragon King’s real power. It is also his God-ranked power. The removal of each seal will elevate your body’s endurance close to rank-3 Godhood. In simpler terms, if the Divine Realm still exists, you can even surpass the Demon Empress’ Godhood. On the other hand, the latter two seals will allow you to separately elevate you to rank-2 Godhood and rank-1 Godhood. In fact, you might even be stronger. Think about this, how immense will the elevation be with each Godhood rank? In any case, your body can’t possibly withstand the process of this elevation. More importantly, Golden Dragon King’s soul is hidden at the two latter layers as well. If you’re not careful, your body might be seized by the dragon. Thus, you’re absolutely not to open up the final two seals. Only if there comes a day when your father returns to your side, may you attempt to do it with his protection.”

Tang Wulin nodded quietly. They were communicating via divine consciousness so only they could hear each other.

Tang Wulin suddenly said, “Gu Yue, you’re not a human being, right?”

Gu Yuena was stunned for a moment. She looked at Tang Wulin and cracked a bitter smile. “Have you already considered asking me this question for a very, very long time?”

Tang Wulin smiled. “That’s not important. It’s doesn’t matter whether you are a human being or not. I only know that you are my wife.”

Gu Yuena’s charming face blushed. “Who’s your wife? I’m not married to you yet.”

Tang Wulin held her hand. “After the war has ended, I’m going to propose to you. I will certainly give you a grand wedding so that I can marry you officially. I told you that I’m not going to let you leave me again.”

Gu Yue took a deep glance at him. “You really don’t mind that I’m not a human being? You should have already figured that out since earlier, right? That’s right. I’m the other half of the Dragon God, the Silver Dragon King.”

Tang Wulin was shocked. “It’s true that I managed to figure out something, but I find that I’m still in a state of disbelief after hearing it from you.”

Gu Yuena’s gaze showed that she was slightly confused. “In the past, there were some issues when I transformed into a human being and turned into Na’er. I lost many memories. Thus, you met the me that had lost my memories when you were young. With your nurture and protection, Na’er’s character gradually took form and she fell in love with you. Afterward, Na’er left because I regained my memories gradually, but her persona had already begun to exist independently. If I were to devour her by force, I would need to pay a tremendous price and it would result in an incomplete soul. Hence, I placed a bet with Na’er. She requested that I approach you and treat you well. When the time came, she would agree to fuse with me.”

“In reality, it appeared that Na’er lost the bet on the surface because it was true that I stayed by you for a very long time. Yet in reality, I was the one who lost the bet because I fell in love with you. Thus, Na’er was content when she fused with me. In fact, I dared not allow her to fuse with me as one in fear that I might hurt you.”
