Dragon King of Apocalypse

Chapter 237: Tale of Destrution (1)

"A Sea beast?" Questioned Zang Xin who was slightly surprised.

He didn't think the Sea Beast would attack them as they weren't known for being aggressive unless one came near their homes.

He was certain, they were moving in a path that avoided all of the known Sea Beasts homes, while also manually adjusting if any of them show up.

He, of course, only had them do it for those Sea Beasts that were over fifty thousand, as anything below could never shake this submarine.

"It seems to be over a hundred thousand years old." Mutter Chen Xinjie after his spiritual sense spread out.

"He is right." Said Long Yeyue with a frown, leading Zang Xin and everyone around them to turn grim.

'Is our luck this bad, that the first thing we meet is a Sea Beast over a hundred thousand years.' Thought Zang Xin with a sigh.

Ordinarily, a hundred thousand-year-old soul beasts were nothing more than fodder to people like them.

But this would only apply to the land, as the Soul Beasts in the domain of the sea were a different story, as most Soul Masters were at a huge disadvantage.

Whether it be from the pressure, dense elemental fluctuations or the restriction of movements were all key disadvantages.

Unless one had an intimate relationship with the sea or water elements, then fighting in this environment is extremely difficult.

'Luckily we have Chen Xinjie.' Thought Zang Xin as he glances behind to see Chen Xinjie narrowing his eyes.

Chen Xinjie's martial soul was called the Boundless Sea, one of the reasons his title Douluo's name was the Boundless Sea Douluo.

It was considered an inheritance from the Sea Douluo, giving him a great affinity with the seas.

"What type of Sea Beast, is it?" Questioned Chen Xinie, causing one of the Tang Workers to swiftly respond.

"It's the Sharp Octopus! Wait! More of them are coming!"

The Tang Worker said before he quickly brings up a picture of what was going outside. Zang Xin, Chen Xinjie, Long Yeyue and everyone else were able to see five Sea Beasts moving around the submarine.

One had the appearance of an octopus that had red scales, with the features of a shark and razor teeth. The others were one of a Dolphin, Sea Serpent, Sea Tiger, Silver Whale, and a Demonic Shark.

"All of them seem to be around or comparable to a hundred thousand-year-old Spirit Beasts."Muttered Chen Xinjie to with his expression turning serious.

He could easily take any one of these Sea Beast with no effort.

But fighting all five of them and protecting the submarine was a different matter, as any stray shot could lead to a disaster.

"We can help." A voice rang out causing Chen Xinjie to glance behind to see Wu Siduo, Na'er, and Gu Yue.

"You guys?"

"I have been training and fighting underwater since I joined the Body Sect. The water pressure at this level isn't much of a hinder to me." Said Wu Siduo while Gu Yue only said.

"My control over the water element will allow me to lessen pressure, so I can help out." Said Gu Yue while Na'er mentioned the same thing.

Chen Xinjie's eyes lit up as he glances over the girls before nodding his head. He wouldn't dare to underestimate them, recalling how strong they were from that fights months ago.

'Especially, Wu Siduo.' Thought Chen XInjie as he recalled Wu Siduo being able to push her strength to a Super Douluo without any auxiliary soul master help.

Bang!

The submarine once again shook, as the Demonic Shark sent out an arrow of water that smashed into it.

"They're getting ready to attack again!"

"Her smile is one of the greatest things buried inside of my memories." Said Hui Mei softly as a gentle smile formed on his face.

"Her smile was the most charming thing I've seen in my whole life, a smile that shatters the barrier I formed deep into my soul. It was so gentle, virtuous and pure, glowing through the hollow and sunken place I called home."Said, Hui Mei fondly with a sigh.

He still recalls, when he saw the smile his little Lu gave him, the honeyed sweetness and shyness that formed inside of him. Alongside an unexpected warmth, something he had never experience before rushing through his body.

"Meeting her every day, was the greatest thing I looked forward to." Said Hui Mei as he glances up at the sky.

His world that was always cold, silent and hollow, was instantly brightening up from her appearance every day. He didn't recall what they talked about, but he didn't seem to care as her just talking to him was all he wanted.

"I tried to do anything I can, to make her happy. Regardless if I made a fool out of myself or what it caused to others. Naturally, every so often she would look at me in disappointment but then her face will always form into an affectionate smile."

As Hui Mei continued speaking, Tang Wulin's eyes slightly widen as he saw the wisps of destruction intent fluctuating. They began producing a storm of destruction wisps, all around Hui Mei and him, as it began revolving.

Hui Mei didn't seem to notice or it was more like he didn't care as he continued speaking. It was only after a bit that Tang Wulin notice what was happening, as he saw a myriad of images flashing and emerging by.

'They're helping to recount his story.' Thought Tang Wulin as he saw the images of Sheng Ming and Hui Mei.

"I felt it was my responsibility as one of the enforcers and overseer of the realm, to help its people. I wanted to expand the realm so more gods could ascend and rank up...So when the Sea God spoke out against me, I couldn't stop the raging destruction inside of me."Said Hui Mei as his eyes slightly narrowed with his fist clenched.

"I thought, how could this person who merely has been in this realm for only twenty years be more fit than me. How could he sense things, that not even me or Sheng Ming could perceive? Us who have been in this realm for millions of untold years."Said Hui Mei with his eyes flaring up before it sagged down in solemness.

"Yet in the end, I knew the truth. I respected and cared about the Sea God to think of him as anything less than my equal. Strange enough, that may be the reason, I didn't want to lose to him who I considered an equal, my rival."

"Yet in the end, I almost led the realm to ruin, an act even worse than the wars. All because I went to the forbidden seal and took a wisp of the Golden Dragon King energy."Said Hui Mei bitterly with a sigh as he sat down next to the broken throne.

"Is that when he started to influence you?" Questioned Tang Wulin as he sat down next to him leading Hui Mei to chuckle.

"You figure out he was influencing me huh? Yes, it was around that time that I felt a change in my psyche but by that time I didn't feel like abandoning my plan. I thought it would be all worth it...But seeing her hurtful and sorrowful eyes, I knew then it wasn't worth it."Muttered Hui Mei in a bitter tone as he recalled Sheng Ming's eyes.

No attack could hurt him as much as seeing his beloved wife's sadness. It was then, that he began questing if what he was doing was right or wrong.

But in the end, it didn't matter, as to his horror and realization, he was treading on a path of no return. So not wanting to express his regret, Hui Mei continued forward, believing and praying that just for once, the Sea God was wrong.

Yet the reality was harsher than he could imagine, as he witnesses the Space-time turbulence coming towards his home. At that moment, he couldn't help but wonder, was this is punishment for not being patient?

"Yet, even with all, I have done. She still stood by my side, willing to perish alongside me, the fool of the century."Said, Hui Mei with a chuckle yet Tang Wulin could hear the regret in his voice.

"It's why I want to say thank you. Thank you for forcing us together, even if it was just a wisp of our core and energy. You were able to bring us together for the last time before we faded from the world, allowing me to hold the women I loved."

"This is something I can't repay by giving my bloodline to you or my powers. To me, you are our savior and...Son."Said Hui Mei, with the last few words being nothing more than a whisper.

Yet Tang Wulin was able to hear those words, he didn't say anything as he stared into the flashing images.

With Hui Mei also staring alongside him, a smile plastered on his face, as he observed the happiest moments of his life.

As Tang Wulin gets ready to open up his mouth, he felt the whole dream cycle shake. He began glancing all around while spreading out his spiritual sense but he didn't sense anything.

"Don't bother, the disturbance is coming from outside." Said Hui Mei causing Tang Wulin to nod his head but he made no other movements.

"You're not going to see what's wrong?"

"The people in the outside can handle it." Said Tang Wulin causing Hui Mei to furrow his brows.

"What if they need help?"

"Then someone would have gotten me." Said Tang Wulin as he glances once more into the sky before returning his gaze to Hui Mei.

"They're withstanding our soul ammunition."Mutter Zang Xin as he saw the octopus batted away a blast from the soul cannon.

For the past few minutes, they have been unloading the submarine weapons onto the sea beasts.

The submarine was utilizing only half of its thirty-six missile launchers, alongside cannons that we're able to do underwater battle.

Yet even with all of this, the Sea Beast that was over a hundred thousand years control over the sea was too much for these weapons to help.

"Are they ready yet?" Questioned Zang Xin as he felt the submarine shake once more from getting rammed again.

"They just left." Said Long Yeyue as she appeared next to him.

"Let's hope they can hurry this up." Said Zang Xin as he brought up a monitor that revealed the outside of the submarine.

It displayed all of the Sea Beasts that were attacking the submarine, as the Sharp Octopus gets ready to strike the submarine once again.

A deafening roar rang underwater before a streak of white and black smashed into the Sharp Octopus and propelling it back.

In the place of the Sharp Octopus was Wu Siduo, who was surging with a black-gold aura that swirled around her like wisps.
