1836 The Battle Of Father And Son Part 1

It was for himself, Father’s efforts and pains in making his own plans. He sensed something else in his father’s gaze as well. It felt as if there was something else guarding him apart from the Sea God’s Trident and his father’s three moves. His father did not mention it, but Tang Wulin could sense it clearly in his gaze.

There was a saying that a father’s love is unconditional. His father, unlike his mother, did not verbalize his love for Tang Wulin. On the contrary, his father’s deep love for him had never been any less.

Tang Wulin took a deep breath to calm his emotions to the best of his abilities. His gaze gradually became firm and resolute.

“Father, don’t worry. I’ll certainly defeat you and get the approval of the Sea God’s Trident for sure. I’m your son, the son of the Sea God Tang San and I’ll surely do my best to surpass you. I’ll put in the effort to look for you and we will be reunited soon.”

At this point, Tang Wulin raised his right hand. A golden radiance shone from his palm which then extended sideways. When a deep dragon’s roar was heard, the Golden Dragon Spear appeared in his grasp.

Tang Wulin’s aura erupted henceforth, while his whole person became overbearing. He wanted to defeat his father since it was the only way he could be a step closer to his parents!

He was no longer crying because he remembered his mother’s words earlier. His mother would only be happy if he was happy too. He would try his best to be happy, as he hoped that his mother would recover from the sickness soon. He wanted to meet his mother in a healthy state when they were reunited!

Tang San smiled as he sensed the change in Tang Wulin’s aura and said, “My son, are you ready?”

“Yes, I’m ready!” said Tang Wulin in a deep voice.

Tang San nodded toward him. He raised his right hand. A golden radiance shimmered as the Sea God’s Trident which Tang Wulin recognized so well appeared in Tang San’s grasp.

It was the same super divine weapon, yet it gave Tang Wulin a completely different feeling when it appeared in Tang San’s hand. It was because Tang Wulin felt that the golden trident had fused with Tang San to become one at this very moment. It felt as if it was no longer a person standing before Tang Wulin, but the boundless deep sea.

Tang Wulin looked at his son with his deep sky-blue eyes. The howling seawaves could be heard echoing from all directions.

Soul rings arose from underneath Tang San’s feet. The first eight soul rings were red while the final soul ring was a peculiar, bright golden color.

It was Tang Wulin’s first time seeing a soul ring of this color. He recalled the legend related to his father. He could not help but utter, “Is that a million year soul ring?”

According to legend, his father had defeated the deep sea devil whale king with a million year cultivation base. It was the creature which retreated without putting up a fight when confronted by Tang Wulin earlier. In the end, his father obtained the million-year soul ring, and it became his foundation to become the Sea God.

Apart from inheriting the Godhood tablet later, this was his father’s most powerful form.

An ineffable feeling of pride emerged in Tang Wulin’s heart. He was so proud of himself to be able to challenge his father when he was in his most powerful human form!

His father was the legend of the entire Douluo Continent ever since the Tang Sect was founded, since the development of the large-scale soul device. No other person had ever surpassed the Sea God Tang San.

There were two glorious eras of the Douluo Continent. One of them was during his father’s founding of the Tang Sect while the other was when the Spirit Ice Douluo Huo Yuhao established the Spirit Pagoda.

During the Spirit Ice Douluo’s era, Huo Yuhao achieved Godhood later according to legend. There were few who could testify that he really did become a god. On the other hand, there were no records of any god-ranked battle having taken place.

Tang San’s era, however, was much different. It was an era of powerful heroes when the soul masters’ organization known as the Martial Soul Hall was the most powerful. Finally, the godly duo, Tang San and Xiao Wu fought against and defeated the Martial Soul Hall’s mother and daughter pair, Bi Bidong and Qian Renxue. They became a legend of their time. The soul masters on the continent no longer suffered from the Martial Soul Hall’s oppression and the countries were free to develop at the time. Tang San was the indisputable legend of that era. In fact, even his generation of Shrek Seven Monsters became gods as well.

How glorious would that be? No other person in the soul masters’ world had a reputation that surpassed his father’s.

At any rate, he was actually qualified to challenge his father at this exact moment. It was a tremendous honor to be able to do that!

At the thought of this, Tang Wulin felt his blood boiling over in enthusiasm. He did not need to defeat his father to prove anything, but he was going to use this battle to tell his father that he had grown up! Moreover, he wanted his father to know that he had not embarrassed him.

Even though he was well aware that his father might not necessarily be able to feel any of this, he would still do his best!

The Golden Dragon Spear was lifted horizontally. At this very moment, the spear was as heavy as a mountain! Tang Wulin’s aura burst forth akin to an oil blowout. It was like an active volcano erupting in the sea. He transformed into a brilliant golden rainbow as he shot into the sky.

His hot blood essence blazed forth, an unyielding consciousness arose, and the combat heaven and earth aura welled up spontaneously.

Following the fusion of his bloodline with his father’s and his spiritual power achieving the true Divine Origin rank, at the very moment when the Forbid Heaven-Earth, Dragon Emperor Fight was unleashed, even Tang San on the opposing side was affected to such a degree that his gaze revealed that he was in a momentary trance.

‘It’s now or never!’

Without hesitation, Tang Wulin’s spiritual power captured his father’s momentary emotional change. He shot straight at his father. He raised his Golden Dragon Spear in the simplest manner which was filled with a domineering aura.

He unleashed the Forbid Commonplace, Dragon Emperor Charge!

He charged momentarily before transforming into a wild giant dragon. The loud, resonant dragon’s roar reverberated in the surroundings such that the tempestuous wave-like aura dissipated.

Tang Wulin used the combination of the Dragon Emperor Fight and the Dragon Emperor Charge. They were the two great Dragon Emperor Forbidden Laws he used to defeat Qiangu Dongfeng in the past! When the moves were unleashed at his father, it was way more powerful than before in accordance with his elevated cultivation base.

Despite the person before him now was a quasi god, Tang Wulin had the confidence to defeat his opponent!

Tang San who was standing opposite Tang Wulin moved. He took a half step backward slowly. Very slowly indeed. At least, it appeared slow according to Tang Wulin’s perception.

The half step in backing off made Tang Wulin feel that his Forbid Heaven-Earth, Dragon Emperor Fight’s suppression on his father was effective. He felt his father faltering slightly in that very moment.

Nevertheless, the Sea God’s Trident in Tang San’s hand was swept horizontally brushing the Golden Dragon Spear’s tip.

“Ding!” A loud crisp sound was heard. It felt as if the sound could shatter and destroy everything in the surroundings.

Meanwhile, Tang Wulin’s aura also underwent some changes. He discovered that the Golden Dragon Spear seemed to let out a shrill cry when it was swept by the Sea God’s Trident.

Tang Wulin had absolute confidence in his strength. When compared to his peers of the same rank, he had never encountered anyone who was stronger than him, not even his senior brother disciple A Ruheng.

Hence, he did not believe that his father’s strength would be stronger than his, although his father had the super divine weapon. After all, they were both at par now.

In any case, he experienced the disparity between a divine weapon and a super divine weapon at the moment. It did not feel as if the Golden Dragon Spear was struck by the Sea God’s Trident but the entire sea. He felt helpless to fight against the indomitable crashing force.
