The Legend of the Dragon King

There was a light at the end of the tunnel, but when Tang Wulin reached it, he was in no hurry to rush out. Instead, he paused.

This node was clearly much larger than the one before. However, the aura that reached him now left him no choice but to stop in his tracks.

Although Tang Wulin’s stealth vest had masked his own aura, the instant he appeared, many qi activities were directed toward him.

There were at least a hundred abyssal creatures in this node. There were dozens of species. It was a starkly different situation compared to when there was only a single colossal Devour Lizard.

‘There are so many of them!’ Tang Wulin’s heart went cold. Long Yuxue was already behind him. “Don’t back down yet. Be careful. If the need arises, use your gear.”

“Mmm.” Tang Wulin nodded. Wielding the Golden Dragon Spear, he guarded the cave mouth.

He did not have to take the initiative to attack, as the abyssal creatures in the node that noticed their presence was already charging at them.

The first creatures that rushed forth were the few Devour Lizards that were nearest to him. They were by no means small, and their scales kept flapping up and down. Dense, greyish mist spewed forth from them and surged toward him.

Tang Wulin smiled slightly. He started spinning the Golden Dragon Spear in his hands, and it swiftly turned into a glowing shield. His incredible blood essence power burst forth as the Golden Dragon Spear’s spun. It blew against the grey mist so that it could not get near them. At the same time, he stomped heavily on the ground with his right foot, triggering the Golden Dragon Shocks the Earth!

The three Devour Lizards nearest to him were rocked so greatly that their bodies went rigid. Although these three lizards were not killed by his Golden Dragon Spear, and when their bodies shattered, they transformed into nothing but air and the rotating spear sucked them into him. This might have been because of the powerful blood essence shockwave released by his Golden Dragon Spear or maybe these three Devour Lizards were too close to Tang Wulin when they were destroyed. They turned into energy and surged into Tang Wulin’s body.

This was an unexpected boon! Eight golden dragons flew out of his body one after another. The aftershock sent the remaining Devour Lizards flying. The mouth of the cave they guarded was impregnable.

“Boom! Boom! Boom!” Three shots were fired, and three Devour Lizards seemed to have had their eyeballs blasted out one by one. Although they did not die, they were still gravely injured. It was Long Yuxue behind Tang Wulin, displaying her strength.

To a long-range attacker, it was definitely the ideal to have a sturdy and reliable tanker in front. Tang Wulin’s tanking ability was undoubtedly very reliable.

Another herd of abyssal creatures rushed up to him. Most of them were Six-clawed Demons, numbering around twenty. The demons did not get near him. Instead, they stuck their claws into the ground, and great patches of spikes made their way for Tang Wulin. These spikes could bypass their targets. In other words, Long Yuxue behind Tang Wulin was not safe either.

“It’s alright, leave it to me!” shouted Tang Wulin. He stomped on the ground with his right foot again. It was another shot of Golden Dragon Shakes the Earth. As all the spikes shattered, the twenty or so Six-clawed Demons far away were all sent flying from the impact of Tang Wulin’s attack.

A beam of golden light shot out from Tang Wulin’s body toward the front as quick as lightning. It seemed to have reached the first Six-clawed Demon in an instant. Golden light flashed and countless golden glows rose from the ground. Every beam resembled stalagmites. The twenty or so Six-clawed Demons recoiled. Shortly after, the golden figure suddenly shook and lashed out like a long whip. With a series of buzzes, the demons shattered and turned into wispy energy.

Another beam of golden light descended from the skies and embedded itself in the middle of the group of Six-clawed Demons. Their bursts of energies had no way of escaping as they were all sucked into the golden light.

The light which had first shot out revealed its body, and it was a magnificent golden snake with distinguishing features. It was covered in diamond-shaped golden scales. If one looked closely, one could see that these scales were exactly the same as the ones that grew on Tang Wulin’s body. It was already more than six meters in length. The most unusual attribute was that there were two faint bumps on its head which resembled budding horns. Its head also looked different from ordinary snakes. It looked more like a dragon.

It was extremely quick. The attack just now was undoubtedly its doing.

“That’s….a spirit soul?” said Long Yuxue in shock. What a powerful spirit soul! Although the Six-clawed Demon was not too powerful among the abyssal creatures, there were no weak beings among the abyssal creatures either. These six-clawed demons were specialized in defense. However, under the whip of that great golden snake, they seemed to have been shattered with a single lash of that great golden snake.

Without a doubt, this great golden snake was Tang Wulin’s first spirit soul, Goldsong.

Goldsong grew in sync Tang Wulin. Although it was from the family of snakes, under the Golden Dragon King bloodline’s constant nourishment, it seemed to have grown more and more like a dragon. Because it was Tang Wulin’s first spirit soul, it had spent the most time with him. Though nature had not been kind to it and it was once considered defective, this also meant that it was like a blank canvas. After being amply nourished by the Golden Dragon King bloodline, it grew stronger and stronger. It could use all of Tang Wulin’s Bluesilver Grass soul skills and even some of his blood essence’s abilities.

In truth, the three years Tang Wulin spent burying dragons in Dragon Valley was where Goldsong was remolded. Tang Wulin was nourished by the dragon spirits there every day, and naturally, it was the same for Goldsong. Its bloodline had undergone a complete change.

At first, Tang Wulin was oblivious to this. However, he started noticing after unleashing it for a few times. Goldsong’s combat strength was much more powerful than before. It reaped even more benefits than the Overlord Dragon.

Because of Tang Wulin’s problem with his own cultivation base, the duration which he could summon the Overlord Dragon was limited. With the increase in his cultivation base, the time that it could be summoned was extended. However, it was different for Goldsong, which practically had no restrictions for summoning. This was because Goldsong was highly compatible with him, just like an extension of his own body.

Now, Goldsong had appeared, basking in a glorious air. How could Long Yuxue not be shocked?

Goldsong moved swiftly and launched another attack. It released the Bluesilver Impaling Array again. A huge swathe of golden spikes spread outward. The great number of abyssal creatures which charged forth stopped short in front of the Bluesilver Impaling Array.

Goldsong moved quickly and masterfully. Its strength was directly connected to Tang Wulin’s. Like a whip, it lashed at the abyssal creatures, shattering them with every attack.

At the same time, it was also mentally connected with Tang Wulin. When it had shattered all these abyssal creatures, all of them exploded near the Golden Dragon Spear. Hence, most of the energies were devoured by the spear.

Only a few of the hundred abyssal creatures managed to reach the cave’s mouth. Most of them were killed by Goldsong. Long Yuxue’s mouth was agape as she witnessed all of this. She was also a soul master, and she had a spirit soul of her own. However, compared to the spirit soul of this fellow before her, her own spirit soul was simply rubbish!

This was too powerful! How could this fellow’s spirit soul reach such levels? She was not even sure if she would be a match for this spirit soul if she were to go up against it one-on-one.

In the end, the purge was completed. Tang Wulin raised his hand and summoned the Golden Dragon Spear back into his grasp. It passed on the energy it had absorbed to him.

His blood essence vortex and soul power vortex increased in density at the same time. The crystallite within them also increased in clarity. Tang Wulin understood that his soul core and bloodline core were one step closer to birth.

With his current progress, he was that much closer to completing them as long as he managed to kill some abyssal creatures.
