The Legend of the Dragon King (Web Novel)
chapter-1013

Tang Wulin's figure was revealed as the Golden Dragon Soars to the Heaven dissipated. Meanwhile, Blood Nine sensed a strange pressure pushing on him all of a sudden. It was as if there was a powerful force in the depths of his heart making him feel as if he was in danger.

The dazzling Golden Dragon Spear with its white-gold radiance bloomed in his eyes. It looked like a golden Bluesilver Emperor vine was in every stream of the spear's light. Thousands of streams of the spear's radiance compressed the surrounding air in a split second, violently squeezing his body. Even though his Snake Spear soul skill had managed to defeat the Golden Dragon Soars to the Heaven, it was torn into pieces by those streams of spear's radiance in the next moment. Thousands of these spears of light combined into one instantly and pointed straight at his three-word battle armor's protective shield.

"Clang!" A crisp sound was heard from the shield. A speckle of white-golden light instantly penetrated into the center of the breach. Cracks rapidly spread out in all directions. During that split second, the white-gold spear's radiance was also pointing at his three-word battle armor.

The three-word battle armor became indented as Blood Nine's heart filled with terror. He shouted aloud as the seventh soul ring on his body finally illuminated. In an instant, his body was blasted backward while the snake in his hand enlarged. His body swayed and he transformed into a giant python, over thirty meters long.

The monstrous python opened its gaping mouth as it bit at the Golden Dragon Spear's Thousand Accusing Fingers utilized by Tang Wulin. At the same time, the other giant python silently crept behind Tang Wulin and also readied its huge jaws to bite at Tang Wulin's body.

Only a person with a seven-ringed cultivation base was equipped with the seven-soul skill known as martial soul avatar on the obverse side. When the martial soul avatar was used, it signified that a person had truly begun to devote all his effort into the battle.

Even though Tang Wulin was already in possession of a soul core, there was no way he could possess a martial soul avatar before he had achieved a seven-ringed cultivation base.

However, Blood Nine suddenly saw the four golden soul rings on Tang Wulin's body transform into six soul rings in a split second. Unexpectedly, the last soul ring in the arrangement was the color of blood, and the soul ring above it was a green-gold soul ring.

Green and bloodred soul rings were not supposed to complement one another, but when they appeared on Tang Wulin's body, they did not clash in the slightest. The blood soul ring was blooming with a dazzling radiance instantly. One could clearly see that there were two golden stripes on the soul ring.

Soon after, the blood soul ring began to change as its original bloody hue metamorphosed into an orange-gold color while the two golden striations on it seemed to creep onto Tang Wulin's entire body. It made his two-word battle armor look more and more magnificent.

A powerful aura appeared abruptly on Tang Wulin's body. It was as if all the elemental molecules in the air surged into his body in a split second. It was during that moment, Blood Nine and the group of Blood Gods watching the battle were shocked when they sensed that Tang Wulin's cultivation base increased exponentially in an instant. Meanwhile, all the elemental attributes on the competition stage vanished in the blink of an eye.

The Golden Dragon Spear in Tang Wulin's hand glowed brightly. The Thousand Accusing Fingers that had already combined into one separated into thousands of spears of light again and collided into Blood Nine's martial soul avatar in front of him. Streams of the razor-sharp radiant spears pierced Blood Nine's martial soul avatar. The resulting ripples of broken light pressed against the over thirty-meter-long martial soul avatar until it retreated bit by bit.

On the other hand, the giant python that appeared behind Tang Wulin's back was Blood Nine's most powerful spirit soul. It possessed the natural ability to teleport itself in a split second which was how it had appeared behind Tang Wulin's back. Everyone watched as the gargantuan mouth, large enough to swallow Tang Wulin whole, was about to strike.

All of a sudden, a golden figure as big as a mountain appeared out of thin air and descended from the sky!

"Boom!" The enormous figure crashed into the giant python's body, disabling it immediately before slamming into the ground!

It was the Overlord Dragon that had renounced the world!

Different from its former appearance, the Overlord Dragon was more majestic than before and its height was greater than seventy meters. More shocking was that there was an additional pair of dragon wings on its back but the amusing part was that the pair of wings was disproportionate to its body. The wings were only about ten meters in width when spread out so it was apparently impossible to lift its enormous body, over seventy meters in height and fifty thousand kilograms in weight.

The dusk gold radiance that covered its entire body seemed to glow brighter than before while the thick, heavy scales appeared to be exerting even more terrifying pressure. As he landed valiantly, he pinned Blood Nine's spirit soul against the ground ferociously.

Generally, the summoning of a soul master's spirit soul was truly decisive when used on a battlefield after the soul master had achieved a seven-ringed cultivation base. This was because the majority of spirit souls were incapable of evolving, so most spirit souls that were owned since the soul master's early days were not as effective in actual battles.

A situation like Tang Wulin's, in which he could influence his spirit soul through the evolution of his bloodline such that his spirit soul could transform as well, was practically unheard of.

Blood Nine did what was expected, thus, his most powerful spirit soul was the giant python. It was not only completely compatible with his martial soul, but its fighting capacity was also genuinely powerful with its ten-thousand-year cultivation base.

However, it was helpless when confronted by the Overlord Dragon. The Overlord Dragon, with the title of 'Land Dragon's Ancestor', was the indomitable spirit soul, the very personification of strength.

Judging by its actual fighting ability, the giant python was not necessarily a worthy opponent of the Overlord Dragon despite being amplified by its nine-ringed cultivation base. The Overlord Dragon had arrived too quickly. The python's attack was immediately smothered by the Overlord Dragon when it suddenly descended from the sky.

It felt just like an enormous hammer had slammed into the snake's body. The giant python's mouth was opened wider instantly as huge puffs of gray gas burst out from its body. It was apparently injured severely from the collision.

On the other hand, Tang Wulin had never looked back from the beginning to the end. His Thousand Accusing Fingers, which had dispersed once again, was amplified by his orange-gold soul ring until it became like a shredder. It was even more terrifying when, in the next moment, the spear's radiance which parted earlier regrouped in the center once again. A large stretch of wounds began to appear on Blood Nine's crushed martial soul avatar as blue veins gradually appeared on its skin.

A stream of golden radiance beamed its way to the front of Blood Nine without his notice, and a golden glow burst out. At first, it looked like a Blusilver vine, but then it instantly transformed into a giant golden serpent over fifteen meters long and wound around Blood Nine's martial soul avatar.

The serpent shimmered with a mirror-like gloss on the surface of its body to avoid being churned into pieces with Blood Nine. At that moment, a figure appeared without a word. It had the handsome face of a middle-aged man with a highly graceful and refined countenance. It appeared above Blood Nine's head, as light as a feather, and opened its mouth to blow its breath out. A pink cloud descended from the sky and covered the giant python's entire body.

Instantly, Blood Nine felt as the pain and anxiety he felt all over seemed to disappear. His entire body was lulled into an irresistibly comfortable sensation. All the injuries, pain, frustration in his heart were all gone in that split second and he felt like he was sinking into a deep sleep.

Meanwhile, thousands of spears of light had combined into one. It pierced through his three-word battle armor and his body before pinning him firmly to a spot seven inches parallel to the giant dragon. The white-gold radiance glowed brightly from the Golden Dragon Spear while it rapidly engulfed all the energy in the surroundings. The giant python trembled and struggled, but that drowsy feeling creeped over him and the gentle fragrance stopped him from feeling any pain at all.

Tang Wulin descended from the sky. Golden light shined brightly on his body as his Golden Dragon Wags Tail lashed onto Blood Nine's body ferociously. Soon after, the Golden Dragon Nirvana Claw smashed the top of the giant python's head.

"Pow!" The python was slammed into the ground. Five deep gashes formed on its head, almost penetrating its skull.

It was at this moment that intense pain from the depths of his soul awakened Blood Nine. His eyes revealed a mix of shock and fury as the ninth soul ring on his body began to glow. The battle armor that covered his entire body turned gray and crystal-like.

Was he attempting to go back on his promise?

Goldsong, wound around his body, was also glowing brightly. The Golden Dragon Spear that had penetrated his body was bursting with an intense white-gold radiance that rapidly engulfed the energy emitting from Blood Nine's body.

The soul power from Tang Wulin burst forth like an oil blowout. The complementing yin-yang vortex spun around wildly in his body, steering his Golden Dragon Spear into slashing toward Blood Nine's head.

"Boom!"

An enormous figure descended from the sky. The Blood Gods watching the battle witnessed a scene that made them stare in bewilderment.

The Overlord Dragon leaped into the air from behind Tang Wulin's back. There was not enough distance for it to leap to Tang Wulin's side due to its enormous body. However, the tiny pair of dragon wings behind its back was flapping at full speed holding it in the air momentarily and allowing it to fly even farther.

Its gigantic foot immediately stamped onto the skull of Blood Nine's giant python and crushed it into pieces.
