The Legend of the Dragon King

The Scarlet Fire Monkey King turned around and fled upon seeing the transformed Tang Wulin, particularly after hearing his earlier dragon’s roar. It transformed into a golden-red shadow and scooted a thousand meters away in the blink of an eye.

The Emerald Demon Bird was even faster than the monkey. Ever since the clan was annihilated with just a few Emerald Demon Birds left, they became even more skilled at protecting themselves. It watched helplessly as the opponent’s aura became increasingly powerful. When should it flee, if not now?

‘Flee?’

Tang Wulin despised the two soul beasts for they almost caused the loss of his beloved earlier!

His right hand waved once in the air facing the Emerald Demon Bird’s direction. It was as if the air suddenly froze as the terrifying energy surged wildly. The Emerald Demon Bird’s flight slowed down abruptly. It appeared to be swimming in a puddle of glue as it struggled to advance but its speed had slowed down tremendously.

The seven-colored dragon wings on Tang Wulin’s back flapped once. In the next moment, he had caught up with the Emerald Demon Bird while his seven-colored dragon claw extended and smacked the Emerald Demon Bird’s body.

The Emerald Demon Bird was rather impressive in its defense as well. The green radiance from its body glowed brightly all of a sudden and erupted into a green halo. A piercing explosive sound burst out when the seven-colored dragon claw struck the halo. The green halo shattered into pieces while Tang Wulin’s seven-colored dragon claw rebounded to his surprise.

Tang Wulin’s current cultivation base was elevated by at least three distinct levels under the effect of the Divine Dragon Transformation. In other words, he was currently a powerhouse whose rank equaled that of a Soul Douluo’s. Furthermore, the strength of his bloodline power was even more terrifying than his Golden Dragon King bloodline.

The Emerald Demon Bird was extraordinary as expected. It was capable of resisting his attack.

A seven-colored vortex then rippled from Tang Wulin’s dragon palm.

Just as the seven-colored vortex appeared, the green radiance on the Emerald Demon Bird’s body dimmed to a large extent. It cried out sorrowfully before it was sucked into Tang Wulin’s dragon claw.

The Elemental Stripping was unleashed!

Undoubtedly, it was an ability that originated from Gu Yue. The Emerald Demon Bird was a wind attribute soul beast. It was capable of achieving such a high speed because of its wind propelling power.

Generally, there were only two attributes for soul beasts with swift speeds. It was either the spatial attribute or the wind attribute. The soul beasts with the spatial attribute were more skilled in short bursts of speed and could perform a myriad of transformations. On the other hand, the wind-attribute soul beasts were not as powerful but their speed increase was linear and, hence, more sustainable. They were even more skilled in performing different transformations.

Be it the wind or space attribute, the soul beasts were stripped of more than just the spatial element under the Elemental Stripping. The Elemental Stripping’s power could strip away all the elemental attributes in the soul beasts’ bodies under the influence of the Divine Dragon Transformation.

The Emerald Demon Bird’s power diminished abruptly when it lost the support of the wind element.

It watched helplessly as it fell into Tang Wulin’s palm. However, the Emerald Demon Bird suddenly turned its head around. Its pair of eyes turned scarlet while its once green body turned a fiery red. Was it a wind and fire dual attribute soul beast?

The fiery red color remained for a moment before it turned green again. Everything happened within a split second. Tang Wulin could sense that his Elemental Stripping had reached its limit in absorbing.

What was the wind and fire dual attribute? It relied on the wind and fire vortices in its body to resist the Elemental Stripping. Even though this could only be sustained for a short period of time, it gave the Emerald Demon Bird a fighting chance for survival.

The Emerald Demon Bird flapped its wings at full force. Its speed increased exponentially while its long beak became even finer akin to a sharp sword in its front as it blasted forward. At that moment, as it increased its speed, it gave out an intense roar. It burst forward breaking the sound barrier for it was persistent in fleeing for its life.

It was the swiftest soul beast Tang Wulin had ever seen. In any case, he would not allow it to flee.

Having escaped from this incident after facing a formidable enemy with such a swift speed, would they be so fortunate the next time? Tang Wulin would be nursing his grievance had Gu Yue, who was attacked by it, been a tad further away from him.

Thus, Tang Wulin’s left hand slapped the air just as the Emerald Demon Bird began to accelerate once again.

All of a sudden, the space around them collapsed. The surrounding plants were apparently frozen while a black hole emerged in the sky instantly.

Tang Wulin’s energy was elevated to its peak under the support of the Divine Dragon Transformation. The black hole, a meter in diameter, enshrouded the Emerald Demon Bird. Its speed which could break the sound barrier was instantly halted under the terrifying suction force.

Tang Wulin’s right Duskgold Dreadclaw seized the opportunity to strike when the bird paused for a moment.

The Duskgold Dreadclaw tainted with the seven colors covered a terrifying area of fifty square meters. Five streams of light blades, each fifty meters long, made of Duskgold with its seven-colored radiance descended from the sky to strike the ground with an apocalyptic result.

“Boom…” The Emerald Demon Bird’s body rolled on the ground with its emerald green feathers scattering through the air. However, Tang Wulin was surprised that the soul beast, known for its speed, had such a strong body. It did not die despite being attacked by Tang Wulin’s Divine Dragon Transformation Duskgold Dreadclaw at full force. It had just lost consciousness with a deep gash on its body.

Tang Wulin had no time to strike again, so he grabbed the Emerald Demon Bird with his hand. At the same time, his body swayed once and he had already traveled a thousand meters with the silver radiance flickering once on his body. He repeated the process a few times, and the scarlet red figure was already in front before him.

“Come down!” shouted Tang Wulin as he swung his left hand at lightning speed simultaneously. A stream of golden radiance flashed and vanished instantly as the Scarlet Fire Monkey King shrieked while moving at full speed through the air. It appeared to be dodging the golden radiance. Suddenly, it felt the energy squeezing its body with the surroundings becoming seven-colored at this moment. The golden radiance had pierced through the Scarlet Fire Monkey King’s body with precision when it paused for a moment.

The thick life force infused into Tang Wulin’s body wildly as these powerful bloodline energy refined through his Golden Dragon Spear replenished his body’s energy.

Tang Wulin descended from the sky with the seven-colored dragon wings on his back spread open as he landed onto the ground.

The Scarlet Fire Monkey King was completely devoured by the Golden Dragon Spear in just a few breaths leaving behind only its skin and fur.

The Golden Dragon Spear remained golden but its radiance was in seven colors. Its speed in devouring a life force was much faster than previously.

Just as Tang Wulin had expected, the Scarlet Fire Monkey King’s death did not increase the spiritual energy cultivation base of his soul ring but formed a pitch-black soul ring above his body instead.

It was a ten-thousand-year soul ring! It was a real soul beast.

Tang Wulin took a deep breath. His consciousness jolted as he sensed his strength draining rapidly from his body. Soon after, a figure separated from his body, and he hastily grabbed her slim waist with his left hand. She was none other than Gu Yue.

She appeared shocked apart from looking pale. She blinked her huge eyes and was about to cry.

Waves of weakened sensations radiated forth but Tang Wulin was surprised to find that the weakened sensations were not as intense as in the past where he would lose consciousness when they launched the Divine Dragon Transformation. Perhaps, it was because he had absorbed a ten-thousand year Scarlet Fire Monkey King’s life force. His endurance had increased with at least thirty percent of his cultivation base still available.

He was still alright!

There was the Emerald Demon Bird that he had yet to take care of. It would be dangerous if he were to lose consciousness while the Emerald Demon Bird regained its strength.

Tang Wulin released the hand that was holding Gu Yue and raised his left hand to smack the Emerald Demon Bird’s body.

“Father, don’t!” Gu Yue screamed out in shock. Tang Wulin’s Golden Dragon Claw, which was just inches above the head of the Emerald Demon Bird, stopped in the nick of time.

“What’s wrong?” The fear and surprise in Tang Wulin’s eyes had disappeared as he looked at Gu Yue. Only joy remained.

Gu Yue saved him when Shrek Academy was attacked with fixed soul ammunitions back then. Tang Wulin was seventy percent sure that the girl who looked like Na’er was sent by Gu Yue via his silver dragon scale. Now, he was a hundred percent sure that the person before him was Gu Yue. Otherwise, where did the Divine Dragon Transformation come from? What better way was there to determine the identity of a person than using a martial soul fusion skill?

Gu Yue took two steps forward and scooped up the Emerald Demon Bird from Tang Wulin’s arms. “It’s adorable! Please don’t hurt it.”

Tang Wulin shuddered upon hearing Gu Yue’s words.

Adorable? The creature almost fed on her brain earlier! Yet, she called it adorable.

However, Tang Wulin now had the opportunity to take a closer look at the Emerald Demon Bird.

The Emerald Demon Bird could honestly be described as adorable. It was over a foot long with emerald-like green feathers on its entire body. Its long beak appeared translucent with a faint golden color shimmering in green. It had a long and slim figure with a body that was exquisitely streamlined. Its shape was just perfect. The eyelids over its closed eyes were also a faint golden color. There was also a line of golden striation that extended all the way from the top of its head to its tail.
