Chapter 962: The Arrival of King Mei

Tang Wulin’s cultivation base was elevated by a large chunk. He would be able to maintain his extreme fighting capability as long as he continued to absorb abyssal energy. Moreover, his Dragon Core had already fully stabilized after it was infused with such energy and turned into the core of all his blood essence power. The core was still slowly expanding.

Tang Wulin had been at the frontline during the battle not only to assist the army but also for his own benefit. Even though no Black Empress’ pure energy was available, he could not keep himself from absorbing the enormous amount of energy in any case!

A massive amount of energy burst out from the abyssal creatures that died from the long-range attack explosions. A major portion of this energy was immediately absorbed by Tang Wulin, and only those further away from him managed to flee. It was as though two battalions of soldiers were helping him to kill the abyssal creatures while he was converting these abyssal creatures’ energy for his own use. Meanwhile, his Dragon Core immediately received a major boost as a result of this process.

Tang Wulin felt as the golden glow inside his body grew brighter and brighter, though he gradually felt bloated all over. It was apparent that this feeling was due to his over-absorption of energy, but the Dragon Core was like a bottomless pit that continuously consumed this energy to strengthen itself.

Such a golden opportunity was hard to come by so naturally, Tang Wulin was reluctant to fall back. The Dragon Core could grow stronger if this continued. Tang Wulin believed that the agony he suffered when he was breaking through the latter Golden Dragon Seals in the future would be relatively lesser because of this.

All of a sudden, just as Tang Wulin’s spear pierced through a large abyssal creature, an icy cold aura burst forth soundlessly. His Spirit Abyss-rank spiritual power made him shudder loudly. He flapped his wings without the slightest hesitation as he fell back instantly while conjuring the Golden Dragon Soars to the Heaven through the tip of the Golden Dragon Spear in his hand. His Domineering Golden Dragon Body was launched in the same instant.

The frosty aura came right up to him in the next moment. The Golden Dragon Soars to the Heaven was stripped away by the gush of frigidity. Not only that, the aura even managed to stab right onto Golden Dragon Spear.

The irresistible and terrifying energy compelled the Golden Dragon Spear to smash against Tang Wulin, and then the iciness cut onto his chest.

The Dragon Moon battle armor shimmered rapidly as the effect of the Domineering Golden Dragon Body burst out, but Tang Wulin could still sense that his Domineering Golden Dragon Body was about to collapse.

Since he was bestowed with this ability, this was his first time feeling so weak.

Fortunately, the Domineering Golden Dragon Body’s effect was increased by much more than before under the assistance of the Dragon Core. Tang Wulin managed to block the attack in the end, but he was still blasted away by the blow and crashed ferociously in the distance. He could only stabilize his body with great effort after he collided with two mechas, sending them flying.

The Golden Dragon Spear in his hand jutted forward abruptly as the strength extracted from the Domineering Golden Dragon Body once again conjured the Golden Dragon Soars to the Heaven. Not only that, Tang Wulin finally unleashed his martial soul as countless Bluesilver Emperor vines surged out like a swarm of bees. His fourth soul ring glowed brightly as he began the Bluesilver Overlord Transformation. The Bluesilver Emperor vines transformed into a large net, shielding his body as he rapidly fell back.

Blood essence flowed wildly in his chest. The terrifying chill was still surging into his body. He felt like his two-word battle armor was no longer capable of resisting the tide.

The frostiness had only paused for a moment when the Bluesilver Emperor vines created by the Bluesilver Overlord Transformation were reduced to fragments. The icy coldness pursued Tang Wulin with gray-white radiance. As swift as Tang Wulin was, the gray-white light was even faster.

Fear soon emerged in Tang Wulin’s mind. A figure descended from the sky at this exact moment. A silver-white energy blade firmly swayed before Tang Wulin’s face.

“Boom!”

Tang Wulin saw the silver-white silhouette expand within his field of vision, and in the next moment, the figure slammed against him. Both of them were blasted to the back together.

Tang Wulin had only managed to store his Golden Dragon Spear and wrap his hands around the silver-white figure’s waist when both of them tumbled to the outside.

However, the gray-white figure finally stopped moving and revealed its image.

Surprisingly, it was a woman. A woman dressed in a gray-white dress. Her eyes were also gray-white in color while her long gray hair hung down loosely all the way from her shoulders to her feet.

There were so many Blood God Army soldiers in the surroundings, but at that exact moment, any attack that entered the area thirty meters around her body would be annihilated instantly.

It was even more peculiar that there were countless gray-white wisps of air slipping out from her body and surging toward the abyssal passage behind her. It made her body gradually turn translucent.

Her gray-white eyes were immediately locked onto Tang Wulin’s body. Her gaze was filled with icy coldness and desolation. Her intense designs to murder made Tang Wulin feel like his Spirit Abyss-rank spiritual power was about to freeze.

‘What’s going on here? How could she be so powerful?’

The Blood God somersaulted while slapping a palm onto Tang Wulin’s body. Tang Wulin felt a gush of tremendous force radiating through him, and he was slapped out of the cave at once. He was thrown all the way back to the long-range attack team. Meanwhile, there was a sudden burst of intense silver light erupting from the Blood God’s body. The saber in her hand was raised high into the air while the domain radiance underneath her feet spread out. The surrounding air immediately became thick and sticky.

Both the enemy and the army began to slow down. On the other hand, the saber in her hand seemed like it was frozen and unfathomably heavy as she slowly pushed it into the void.

The gray-haired woman’s gaze finally fell upon the Blood God. Her eyes appeared even colder but with a single sway of her body, she vanished without a trace into the abyssal passage.

Silver shadows flashed past, and the large stretch of abyssal creatures immediately turned into smog, disintegrating in succession as they sank into the cave after the gray-haired woman. To everyone’s surprise, the abyssal tide actually paused momentarily.

Tang Wulin spread out his wings and struggled to stabilize his body. However, he still stumbled upon landing. He supported himself with a hand against the ground, and only then did he manage to steady himself.

He lowered his head and immediately discovered that there was a gray-white streak on his Dragon Moon battle armor. It extended all the way from his right shoulder to the left side of his abdomen. The protective shield of his battle armor, along with almost one-third of the suit, was broken.

His two-word battle armor was spirit-forged in addition to the three types of spirit alloys used, so it had already begun its self-repairing process. However, the gray-white scar seemed to possess a special form of potency that affected Dragon Moon battle armor’s ability to mend itself. It seemed like it would take a longer period of time before it could be completely restored.

So terrifying! Tang Wulin could confirm without a doubt that his body would have been cut open by the gray-haired woman with one strike if not for his Domineering Golden Dragon Body.

This was simply unbelievable!

How powerful the opponent must have been in order to do this! Just judging by the frontal collision which took place earlier, even the Title Douluos which Tang Wulin encountered in the past might not have been able to launch such a powerful attack.

Not to forget the fact that his Dragon Core had already elevated his blood essence almost to the rank of Soul Sage. With the addition of his spirit alloy two-word battle armor, Tang Wulin could at least rely on the Domineering Golden Dragon Body when he was engaged in a full-blown confrontation. Judging purely on defense alone, Tang Wulin was not inferior to a Title Douluo. He was genuinely exerting a Title Douluo-rank defense even if it had just lasted momentarily.

Even so, he was still almost killed. Though the Golden Dragon Soars to the Heaven was fully unleashed twice, one after another, it had been completely annihilated by the gray-white airflow. How high did the opponent’s attacking ability have to be in order to do that?

The Blood God had also suffered losses from the collision with the enemy. A full force attack from three-word battle armor had struck home, but the Blood God had ended up rolling on the ground just like Tang Wulin. The enemy’s power was so terrifying that she could even measure up to a human Hyper Douluo, right? Could a powerhouse of this rank emerge from the abyssal creatures?
