Chapter 888: Father Is So Cruel!

Tang Wulin still remembered its red ruby-like eyes. It would have been a perfect jade sculpture if it just stopped moving.

Still, this creature was deadly!

“No, it’s too dangerous. Don’t you know that the Emerald Demon Bird feeds on brains to evolve itself?!” Tang Wulin spoke anxiously.

“No, I won’t give you back.” Gu Yue held the Emerald Demon Bird and turned around with her back facing Tang Wulin.

Tang Wulin dashed in front of her with a flash and spoke sternly, “Gu Yue, listen to me. This is not a toy. It almost killed you!”

“No, Father is so cruel.” Gu Yue made a half turn again.

Tang Wulin was rendered speechless. ‘I’m cruel? It’s going to kill us if I’m not cruel!”

“Gu Yue, listen to me, alright. The Emerald Demon Bird is an infamous bird beast. During ancient times, it once caused great bloodshed. I can see that this Emerald Demon Bird is different from what is told in the ancient records, but it’s even more powerful. I knocked it unconscious, but it will still threaten our lives once it has awakened. We can’t even use our Divine Dragon Transformation anymore, so we’ll die within its jaws at that point. Do you want to see me dead?”

Raising her head, Gu Yue looked at Tang Wulin’s serious expression and the hands that were stretched out to her. She blinked and she suddenly said, “I have an idea that’ll stop it from hurting us.”

She suddenly raised a hand and drew in the air before Tang Wulin could respond.

Streams of peculiar lines began to appear in the air. Every line was shimmering with a lustrous silver light as if it was alive.

Gradually, these lines condensed into a silver scripture that dropped onto the Emerald Demon Bird’s head slowly.

The lines surged into the Emerald Demon Bird’s head as the bird’s body began to shiver. Gu Yue caressed its feathers. “Little Emerald. It’s going to be over in a moment.”

Tang Wulin looked at Gu Yue in astonishment. He could clearly sense that the silver scripture contained such incredible spiritual power that he could not even sense how great the spiritual power contained in the scripture was even with his Spirit Abyss cultivation base.

He hastily asked, “Gu Yue, have you remembered anything else?”

Gu Yue shook her head. “Nope! I can only remember this way to make Little Emerald follow our instructions. I can still vaguely remember that it will not create any more troubles now that this is done. It will follow my directions properly.”

Tang Wulin was still slightly concerned. “What are you going to do if you fail? It…”

“I won’t fail,” Gu Yue spoke with complete certainty and seriousness.

Tang Wulin spoke, “In that case, I promise not to kill it, but I’ll bind it with my Bluesilver Emperor. We’ll discuss further when it has awakened.”

Gu Yue was obviously unwilling, but she finally nodded her head after seeing Tang Wulin’s determined look. He carefully passed the Emerald Demon Bird in her hand to Tang Wulin.

Tang Wulin dared not use the mundane Bluesilver Emperor, so he immediately released Goldsong. Goldsong flung its tail out and wound around the Emerald Demon Bird.

Gu Yue appeared to be very excited upon seeing Goldsong. It seemed like Goldsong was different from before.

After Tang Wulin’s separated his blood essence and broke through the ninth layer of the Golden Dragon King Seal, there was an additional horn on Goldsong’s forehead. Its body was eighteen meters long. It appeared to be extremely fine, but its body was covered in golden dragon scales that looked exactly like Tang Wulin’s instead of just striations. It looked just like a genuine little golden dragon.

Its pair of golden crystal-like eyes made it appear even more domineering than before. It raised its head and looked at Tang Wulin with a proud and bold aura.

Tang Wulin could sense a burning intelligence from Goldsong’s body. The little fellow, that had once been a defective spirit soul, was growing more and more now. Tang Wulin felt that if Goldsong could evolve a pair of dragon wings one day, then perhaps it could truly become a creature very much like a genuine dragon.

Even though the Overlord Dragon too was evolving following Tang Wulin’s evolving bloodline, the Overlord’s evolution was on a smaller scale compared to Goldsong.

One of the reasons was that the Overlord Dragon was too powerful itself, and more importantly, it was still a land dragon and not a real dragon.

Goldsong was different because it was Tang Wulin’s first spirit soul. It was with Tang Wulin ever since his bloodline awakening. The bloodline in its body was completely the same as Tang Wulin’s bloodline. Thus, Goldsong’s evolution was even purer due to Tang Wulin’s influence.

Of course, if the Overlord Dragon could evolve a pair of dragon wings as well in the future, then its situation would be quite similar. Their skills would be the only difference.

A Spirit soul’s most important purpose for a soul master was to provide soul rings. An ordinary soul master’s spirit soul was not very useful, while battle armor’s usage far exceeded a spirit soul for a powerhouse. Thus, powerhouses would devote more of their energy to developing battle armor.

Only a spirit soul that could be used for the final few soul rings could possibly become powerful enough, and then it could be used to provide assistance to its soul master during a battle. This was also the reason why the Shrek Seven Monsters rarely unleashed their spirit souls during the fighting process. Even though the spirit soul that provided the first few soul rings would evolve after one absorbed spiritual energy from the spirit ascension platform, the scale of its transformation was so little it was rather useless.

Only Tang Wulin’s Goldsong was different because its evolution did not follow his soul ring evolution, but it grew in unison with Tang Wulin’s bloodline. Tang Wulin had already broken through the ninth layer of the Golden Dragon King Seal so Goldsong was completely different now as well.

Tang Wulin placed his hand on Goldsong’s head. Goldsong stuck out its tongue and touched against his palm with pride in its eyes. It seemed to be showing off to Tang Wulin that it was already very powerful now.

Tang Wulin smiled. “That’s great! You can join in during our next battle.”

Goldsong nodded toward Tang Wulin in a very human manner then it turned its head and looked at Emerald Demon Bird with an unkind gaze. It was as if Goldsong was considering if it should bite the bird to death.

Gu Yue glared at Goldsong. “You’re not allowed to do so.”

Goldsong looked at her with bemusement in its eyes, then it lowered its head as if in agreement.

Gu Yue’s face lit up with happiness.

The Emerald Demon Bird was injured rather severely so it would not be waking up anytime soon. Tang Wulin ordered Gu Yue very sternly this time that she was not allowed to go more than ten meters away from him. He then crossed his legs and meditated to heal himself.

His consciousness dove deeply as the two vortexes in his body circulated and spun around.

The blood essence vortex had obviously shrunk, and it was spinning very slowly. There was no doubt that he had consumed a large amount of bloodline energy during the Divine Dragon Transformation process earlier for his soul power vortex was acting as such too. However, Tang Wulin was more astonished that his meridians seemed to grow wider during the transformation process. There was no sign of damage due because his meridians were strong enough to endure ot.

With his elevated power, could he finally control the power of the Divine Dragon Transformation little by little? He recalled the feelings triggered during the transformation as he meditated.

He was absolutely terrified at the time. Gu Yue was the only thing on his mind. He would die for her, so he had triggered the Divine Dragon Transformation himself.

The energy radiating from Gu Yue was so strong that his body was already close to breaking down after it had fused with his own energy. Even so, the energy infusion stopped when he was screaming out in agony. Surely it was Gu Yue that was exercising control over it?

If Gu Yue was clear-headed, perhaps she and Tang Wulin could control the Divine Dragon Transformation properly and perfect the use of the martial soul fusion skill.

The feeling of such power was magnificent. More importantly, by experiencing abilities on that level first-hand, he would definitely gain an even better understanding of it and streamline his own elevation in the future.

He truly needed a long time to meditate for two reasons. One was to restore the energy he consumed, and another was to come to terms with his enlightenment.
