Chapter 1418: The Thunder God’s Whip

Tang Wulin nodded slightly, “The Thunder God’s Whip utilizes both my soul power and my spiritual power. It’s an ability that’s akin to the edge of time and space. It’s also like a transformative power released after the Thunderclap Nether Vine broke through the limit of one hundred thousand years. I don’t fully understand it yet. I need some time. However, I keep having this feeling that there is a special rule power contained within it. It seemed that every whip comes with its own special domain.”

The edge of Xie Xie’s lips twitched. “I won’t watch you cultivate again. I don’t want to be caught in the crossfire ever again. I want to work hard as well. I want a breakthrough too!”

For some reason, after the whipping he received just now, he vaguely felt as if he had a deeper understanding of the Space-time Dragon’s abilities. It seemed as if he was one step closer to breaking through rank-80.

The Six Great Immortal Grasses that followed Tang Wulin back then were the Damask Tulip, the Blazing Apricot Cabbage Eight-Pointed Frozen Grass, the Black Jade Divine Bamboo, the Piercing Gaze Dew, and the Earthworm Pumpkin.

Within this period, Yuanen Yehui, Ye Xinglan, and Yue Zhengyu had completed their breakthroughs to rank-80. Each of them assimilated an immortal grass as their hundred-thousand-year spirit soul. For example, Yuanen Yehui had picked the Earthworm Pumpkin to strengthen her power and defenses. She obtained two great soul skills. Ye Xinglan chose the Black Jade Divine Bamboo, and Yue Zhengyu took the Blazing Apricot Cabbage.

Xu Lizhi had already consumed a type of immortal grass back then and was a food-type soul master, so he naturally did not take from one of the Six Great Immortal Grasses. Thus, the Piercing Gaze Dew and Eight-Pointed Frozen Grass remained, and they were already assigned to their hosts. Xie Xie would be allocated the Piercing Gaze Dew, while the Eight-Pointed Frozen Grass would go to Xu Xiaoyan.

Before Xu Xiaoyan’s martial soul mutated, it was the Starwheel Ice Staff. Although she had been using star power all this while, her origin’s ice attribute had always been around. A hundred-thousand-year spirit soul was difficult to come by, so she was looking forward to certain changes in her powers after assimilating the Eight-Pointed Frozen Grass.

For Xie Xiem the Piercing Gaze Dew could raise his Purple Demon Eyes to their highest rank and could also heighten his powers of comprehension, which was the more important part. His Space-time Dragon was actually very difficult to cultivate. This was also why he had not broken through to eight rings until now. The higher his rank, the greater the understanding and enlightenment he would have to possess.

Tang Wulin said, “You know, we have some time on our hands. Why don’t you attack me? I’ll get a feel for your current condition. Maybe it’ll be of some help to you.”

Xie Xie’s eyes brightened. “You’ll only be defending and not attacking?”

Tang Wulin replied pointedly, “Can you be any more cowardly? Are you coming at me or not?”

“I am!” replied Xie Xie without hesitation.

The reason he was unwilling to spar with Tang Wulin was clearly that he was worried about getting beaten up. However, if Tang Wulin were to solely defend and not attack, that would be a different story.

“Count me in!” Yue Zhengyu had flown back from afar, his four wings flapping behind him. His eyes were alive with anticipation.

Tang Wulin said, “Alright, bring it.”

Xie Xie and Yue Zhengyu exchanged glances. Although the two of them quarreled often, ever since they entered Shrek Academy, they had actually fought side by side more often than they had fought alongside Tang Wulin. Their cooperation was already top-notch.

Yue Zhengyu’s eyes beamed and a brilliant golden flame suddenly rose where he stood. With a flurry of movement, he shot toward Tang Wulin like a golden cannonball.

With his eyes flashing, Tang Wulin’s body flickered with golden light. Scales covered him as he unleashed his Golden Dragon Body. He held his arms up to the golden ball of light.

“Boom!” The brilliant golden fireball exploded but did not crumble. Instead, it closed itself around Tang Wulin as if it was a huge jaw.

It burned scorching hot and was filled with the powers of light and fire. This was clearly an improvement in Xie Xie’s martial soul after he broke through to eight rings and merged with the Blazing Apricot Cabbage.

Tang Wulin’s eyes flickered, and the scales on his body suddenly lit up brightly. It was his Golden Dragon Domineering Body.

At that very moment, a faint glow appeared silently behind his neck. It slashed without warning.

A sense of danger filled his entire being. Tang Wulin pounced forward reflexively and countless Bluesilver Emperor vines shot out from behind him instantly, making him resemble a porcupine.

“Ding!” The light behind him suddenly distorted. The faint light seemed to have spurted with near impossible speed. It had stuck onto the side of Tang Wulin’s neck right before the Bluesilver Emperor vines attacked.

Just then, the glow around Tang Wulin suddenly changed. The sharp blade that nearly cut him suddenly returned to where it was a second ago. Even the golden-red flames that had already wrapped around his body retreated somewhat.

The Time Backtrack Domain! Tang Wulin’s unique spiritual domain.

A hundred faint beams of light appeared all around him. They seemed to want to put him to death by dismembering him as they suddenly transformed and charged toward him.

More concerning was that these beams traveled at different speeds. They appeared extremely disorderly, but the speed of their attacks was constantly shifting. It was seemingly impossible to detect their pattern.

Tang Wulin’s expression changed slightly. His Time Backtrack Down strengthened instantly, and every attack slowed down momentarily. At the same time, he hurled a punch in midair.

With a deep explosion sound, he forcibly punched a miniature black hole into existence. A powerful suction force came from within it and the sharp blades were instantly pulled in. The speed of the attacks was greatly reduced. Tang Wulin extended his Golden Dragon King wings behind him and he started swiveling like a whirlwind. He shot into the skies and collided forcefully with Yue Zhengyu, who was descending from above.

There was another explosion. Tang Wulin shook and was sent crashing down from the skies by the impact. He could only defend himself, and he had also compressed his cultivation base until it was around the rank of eight rings. He had not expected to be at such a disadvantage when he continuously used his spiritual domain and strength.

A gold-red radiance seemed to have followed closely behind the collision and it hit his body mercilessly. All his scales were dyed golden red. Tang Wulin was sent crashing down by the impact and he dropped straight toward the surface of the ocean. However, he shouted, “Good!”

The faint beams of light reappeared at that point. They were mixed with the rain of light, as the countless beams merged with the shower. Some of them were unusual and had an extremely sharp aura. More peculiarly, the sharpness seemed illusory, as if they would become real if he did not block them but would instantly fade if he did. They were extremely strange and annoying.

Tang Wulin offered his praises in his heart. He quickly retracted the Bluesilver Emperor vines which he had just unleashed. Every Bluesilver Emperor vine seemed to have come to life as they whipped about around him. His seventh soul ring shone. It was the Bluesilver Emperor avatar!

Tang Wulin was completely covered in a layer of bluish radiance. His body seemed to have become translucent, as did every Bluesilver Emperor vine. There was no need for Tang Wulin to control them. They scattered all around him as if each had a kind of its own.

The sharp beams of light, regardless of their speed or whether they were real or not, were blocked by Bluesilver Emperor vines whenever they got close enough. Their attacks were nullified.

Yue Zhengyu descended again. His body was burning with golden-red flames. His four wings were completely extended behind him as they absorbed the light elements in the air. What blocked him was the great shield formed by the interwoven Bluesilver Emperor vines.

In the air, Xie Xie’s body seemed to fade in and out. Every time he reappeared, he was accompanied by a volley of extremely sharp attacks. On the other hand, Yue Zhengyu’s attack was filled with extremely powerful invasive strength. One of them worked in the void while the other worked in reality. They were working together beautifully.

However, Tang Wulin had relied on his Bluesilver Emperor avatar. The glittering, translucent Bluesilver Emperor vines formed a crisscross pattern. They seemed to be able to block the duo’s attacks highly precisely.
