Dragon King of Apocalypse

Chapter 223: Battle Against The Empyrean Ape (1)

Still, Tang Wulin rushed towards the Liger Emperor with a thrust of the spear, causing it to pierce over.

A stream of golden-red lights left a trail behind as the spear appeared in front of the Liger Emperor's chest.

'Fast!' Thought the Liger Emperor in shock and slight fear as he swiftly reacted.

Black lightning erupted from the Liger Emperor as he quickly backed off while moving his arm across, producing a lightning vortex.

Streaks of lightning surged as the vortex started to devour the Golden Dragon Spear, like a black hole.

Yet Tang Wulin expression didn't change, as the Golden Dragon Spear shined as its shadow grew and roared with tyrannical might.

'Apocalypse King Dragon Ascends the Heavens.'

'Apocalypse King Dragon Soars.'

A blue-golden grand dragon head was formed as it releases a thunderous roar before it surged with unstoppable might.

The lightning vortex was broken through as the Golden Dragon Spear continued on its path toward the Liger Emperor.

At that moment, the Liger Emperor was horrified, as it saw the terrifying dragon charging towards it.

"Damn you!" Shouted the Liger Emperor as it opens its mouth before spewing out lightning.

A thick streak of lightning surged from the Liger Emperor mouth, rushing forward like a raging river towards the golden spear.

Yet it did nothing to stop the unstoppable force of the spear, as it pierced through the rushing lighting and injured the Liger Emperor.

Roar!

The Liger Emperor's body trembled as it felt the spear not only breaking through its thick hide but to its horror, absorbing its essence.

"No!"

Instantly a vortex of clouds was formed before a streak of lightning that was as thick as a tree, hack down from the sky.

To the shock of the Blood God Soldiers, it wasn't just one streak but a shower of lightning as it descended down to wreak havoc.

Tang Wulin simply inhaled causing all of the streaks of lighting to twist before being pulled a strong devouring power.

Not only that but the Liger Emperor felt its own energy being devoured too.

'What the hell is he!' Thought the Liger Emperor as it tried to quickly pulled out the Golden Dragon Spear and retreated.

How could Tang Wulin let him go?

'Apocalypse King Dragon Shocks the Earth.'

Tang Wulin instantly stomps on the ground causing sixteen dragons to erupt from the ground with a roar before rushing towards the Liger Emperor.

Then he quickly twisted his body as he brought the spear into a circle causing it to bisect all of the abyssal creatures rushing onward.

As this was going on the Liger Emperor thrust out its fists, causing lightning to erupt in front of him towards the sixteen dragons.

Lightning interweaved like a spider web as it continuously blasted outwards towards the dragons, producing an explosion on contact.

Yet Tang Wulin didn't mind this as he squeezes the Golden Dragon Spear before hurling it with all of his might.

The spear crosses the distance in an instant, as it appeared right in front of the Liger Emperor, who had no chance to react.

'No!' Thought the Liger Emperor as it saw the spear breaking through its forehead.

The Liger Emperor tried everything to push back or divert the spear but it was all for naught as by time lightning appeared around it.

The Golden Dragon Spear was already moving out of its head.

The Liger Emperor stared at Tang Wulin, with its one eye that wasn't damage in fear and deep regret before collapsing.

And as expected, its essence started to be absorbed by the Golden Dragon Spear when Tang Wulin called it back.

"He actually killed the Liger Emperor! And So fast!"

"Isn't the Liger Emperor as strong as a Title Douluo!"

"Amazing."

The Blood God Battalion soldiers were both amazed and surging with fighting spirit. As they saw how easily Tang Wulin was able to kill the Liger Emperor.

"What are you all waiting for! Keep attacking."Shouted one of the Blood Battalion Commander as he charged forward.

All of the soldiers began charging forward as they began slaughtering all of the abyssal creatures, with soul guns and ammunition raining down.

Tang Wulin was about to join in too but then Sleipnir's voice rang out.

"You really can absorb their energy, even though it's plane energy." Said Sleipnir causing Tang Wulin to arch a brow.

'They're made out of plane energy?'

"Yes, this is why they keep coming back. As their source is no different from the plane itself, you can even say they are made out of pure abyssal and plane energy."Said Sleipnir.

'I see.'

"Still this is a good thing for you. As not only can you use it to train your God Slayer Art but it's possible to restore the world nature with their energy."Said Yggdrasil causing Zeref and Tang Wulin to be surprised.

"That is possible?" Questioned Zeref.

"It's, and I'm sure that's what the abyssal plane is trying to do with our plane." Said Sleipnir causing Zeref and Tang Wulin expression to change.

'So that's why they have been attacking for so long.' Thought Tang Wulin with Zeref nodding his head.

"Not only that, if they are able to actually absorb the Douluo plane. It may be possible for them to become a Semi-Divine plane or maybe even a Divine Plane."Said Yggdrasil with a grim expression.

"That explains their persistence." Said Zeref with Sleipnir nodding her head.

"Either way, you don't need to worry about saving the energy for the Douluo Plane for now. As, all you need to do is kill the Monarchs on each floor, which will allow the plane to absorb that floor."Said Yggdrasil causing all of them to nod their heads.

"Still, you should also use the energy you absorbed to raise your spirit souls strength." Said Yggdrasil causing Tang Wulin to arch a brow.

'Is it because they're absorbing plane energy?'

"Yes. Your Soul Spirits will be able to increase their age from the abyssal creatures, plane energy. Still, I would suggest you slowly leak the energy into them as you continue fighting."Said Yggdrasil.

Tang Wulin could already hear Leviathan and Taotie's approval of this. He only sighed before rushing forward with the new knowledge.

As this was going on, Zang Xin and Yun Ming were able to reach the area where Tang Wulin was. Once they saw he was already here, they both nodded their heads before moving out to get ready for Surtr's arrival.

It wasn't just them but all of the other Blood Gods who were informed about the plan and the new configurations of the formation.

Yet even still, Zhang Huanyun and Cao Dezhi were both frowning.

"Way too much, this has gone beyond a normal rank four tides." Said Cao Dezhi causing Zhang Huanyun to nod his head.

"How bad is it?" Questioned Blood Three through the soul communicator each of them had.

"It may be comparable to a rank 6 or maybe even higher not from the strength of the creatures but the sheer amount." Said Cao Dezhi causing everyone's expression to change.

"Still, this isn't necessarily a bad thing for Tang Wulin." Said Cao Dezhi.

"Why do you say that?" Questioned Blood Nine.

"He means with so much of the abyssal creatures around, Tang Wulin would be able to easily increase his power through their energy." Said Zhang Huanyun.

"When you put it that way, it does make it better. Especially since he could absorb there essence even if there were destroyed by Surtr."Muttered Zang Xin.

As they were communicating with each other, Tang Wulin was massacring through the waves of creatures.

While pouring the absorbed energy into his soul spirits and into his Soul and Blood core that started to greedily absorb the energy.

'Still don't know why they need energy, I thought they were already done forming.' Thought Tang Wulin as he bisected another abyssal creature.

'Unless.'

Tang Wulin for a quick second moved his gaze into his body, to see the two swirls of energy moving around his Soul Core.

These two swirls were formed from destruction and life energy he absorbed from the Demon Island a few months back.

'Could it be they are going to form a core?' Thought Tang Wulin with his eyes slightly narrowed before he glances at the Blood Core.

Nothing was changing about it, except there seems to be more color revolving around it. With its seven-colored brillance shining more, more crystals and scales forming around it.

'Thoughts for later.'

Tang Wulin ducked under a piercing beam before slashing upward with his spear causing one of the abyssal creatures to split.

He was about to throw his spear towards the abyssal creature, Mo Shan before his body froze as he felt his instincts acting up.

"It's coming." Mutter Tang Wulin as he looks at a direction.

It wasn't just him who froze but also all of the abyssal creatures who were moving around.

Some of the had displeased expression while the others have a hint of feat flashing in their eyes.

"It's coming!" Shouted Cao Dezhi with Zhang Huanyun already moving.

"All Blood Battalions Soldiers, retreat back to the barracks!" Shouted Zhang Huanyun through the soul communicator.

Proof that they were disciplined soldiers, the Blood Battalions didn't ask any questioned and were already hurrying back.

While some of them were confused about why Tang Wulin was just standing there, they figured he was apart of a very important plan.

Since he was the only one who could permanently kill the abyssal creatures.

"Blood One, start it." Said Zhang Huanyun as he swung out his arm, causing nine golden lights to pierce out.

Nine tokens sank into the passage wall with the entire abyssal passage shaking violently.

In an instant, nine circular platforms slowly arose from the walls. When the platform arose, Blood one and the other Blood Gods, instantly dashed towards these platforms before taking a seat.

"Use my Blood as a guide." Said Cao Dezhi as a puff of blood left his body before turning to mist.

"Use my Blood as a guide." Said the other Blood Gods as a bloody mist started to revolve all around them.

Immediately after they unleash the blood mist fused into the platform underneath their bodies without wasting a second. Instantly, the golden scriptures in the entire cavern were illuminated. They clearly lit up everything to the deepest part of the abyssal passage.

However, the array immediately stabilized with a force of downward suppression from the infused blood of the nine Blood Gods.

Then all of the Blood Gods began chanting different incantations as they began calling upon the natural nature spirits and plane energy.

Countless amount of elemental molecules began dancing all around the great array that was being formed.

"Now!"The cycle of the Blood Gods, the guardian of the nine spirits. Spin!"

The nine-round platforms suddenly swirled. Beams of heaven and earth spirit' lights descended from the skies, forming a conical barrier.

They all shined before descending down upon Tang Wulin, who began to smirk.

"It's been a while." Mutter Tang Wulin as he felt the same sensation he felt when the plane energy was revolving around him before.

"Indeed, while this formation is inferior to the one, we used before, it's still nonetheless amazing." Said Sleipnir as she and Yggdrasil began close their eyes.

As at the moment, they began to pull even more plane energy from the Douluo Plane. A multi-colored crown formed upon Tang Wulin's forehead as it shines with myriads of colors.

Six soul rings appeared all around Tang Wulin.

As a pulse of golden-energy spread through the area around him, making the whole area lit up in brilliant gold.

The grass, trees, branches, and snow all began to shimmer and shine with golden-green energy as they all surge with Life Energy.

Tang Wulin could sense and see it all, the whole area of the abyssal passage as he connected with all of the vegetation around.

They have become his eyes and his soldiers.

'Seventh Soul Ring: Golden Dragon King True Body!'

Then his eyes suddenly glowed.

Two flowing streams of scarlet-golden lightning suddenly flashed through his eyes before they began to leak out with a hint of whiteness in them.

Grand and mighty dragon's roars began echoing through the entire area. Misty golden light and air started to appear before they turned dense as if they were steel-plated armor.

A formless overbearing aura and tyrannical madness began erupting from Tang Wulin's body, causing all around to feel oppressed.

His entire body became buffer slightly with golden lightning crackling around him. His Golden Dragon Spear began shining with scarlet and golden lights.

He had not transformed into a dragon but something similar to his own dragon force, where his human form has the power of a dragon.

His multi-colored crown turned rougher and more tyrannical as endless dragon's roars were heard from all directions.

It was as if thousands of dragons were worshipping him! In fact, in the seven-colored jewel, one could hear thousands of dragons roaring out.

Such a transformation and power even caused Cao Dezhi and Zhang Huanyun's eyes to widen in shock.

"Amazing."

"Its as if he was becoming a dragon."Mutter Cao Dezhi as he saw the transformation fusion with the planar energy, with the overbearing might of suppression leaking out.

As this was going on, the snowy area was trembling as something huge was coming. The ground shook, snow was scattered as a huge shadow began to cover the abyssal passage.

Bang!

A huge fist descended upon the abyssal creatures who were dazed at Tang Wulin and the plane energy revolving around him.

Some of them were crushed under the fist, while the others were instantly melted from the flames that erupted from the fist.

In an instant, the abyssal creatures around the fist were turned into ash. While the others who were ten meters away watched in shock.

All of the people present, watched as the Empyrean Ape Surtr shifted his gaze around as it chest moved up and down.

Surtr was about to continue his rampage on the abyssal creatures, but he stopped when he senses the large fluctuation of plane energy.

"Interesting, to think a mortal could manipulate the plane energy like this and have such an overbearing aura." Said Surtr with his eyes narrowed.

He watched as nine-colored lights began to dance merrily and revolved around Tang Wulin as dragon roars reverberate through him.
