Soul Land 3: Legend Of The Dragon King

Chapter 1541

The most damning part about this experience was the loneliness. Tang Wulin discovered that he couldn't even inflict any harm or pain upon himself in this space, and his mind was incredibly alert, but there was nothing for him to do.

In this environment, a normal person would most likely quickly go insane. Even in solitary confinement, one would still be able to hear some sounds, but there was nothing here.

Tang Wulin had already cursed Qiangu Zhangting countless times in his heart. If it weren't for that accursed badge, he wouldn't be stuck here right now.

He was even struck by the urge to give up on the Sea God's Trident as this trial was simply too painful to endure. However, as soon as this thought surfaced in his mind, he immediately repressed it.

How could he give up when Sea God's Trident was the true coordinates to track down his parents and loved ones?

The training that he had endured on the demonic island began to shine through here. There was nothing to do anyway, so Tang Wulin began to attempt to calm himself down. He tried to completely empty his mind.

He was far too alert to sleep in this world, but he could completely empty his own mind.

In the beginning, he found this very difficult to accomplish, and all types of erratic thoughts would surface in his mind after just a short time. However, as time passed, he gradually began to improve in this endeavor. He discovered that this was a very interesting experience, as if he were battling against himself.

After finding that state of inner peace, he would be able to calm down and rid himself of all the erratic thoughts. On top of that, in this calm state, he discovered that many problems that he couldn't find answers to in the past suddenly became very clear, both in cultivation, as well as in other aspects of life.

Thus, he began to think every time he entered this tranquil state, and whenever that happened, his mind would become very clear. Even though he couldn't cultivate here, his clarity of mind allowed him to work through one problem after another, and gradually, he became accustomed to silence and loneliness.

He began to develop some coping mechanisms, such as finding inner peace, thinking about problems, and reminiscing about his own past.

He still firmly believed that there would be a day when he would leave this golden world, and his heart became more and more tranquil and steadfast, as did his eyes.

After an indeterminate period of time had passed, a beam of light suddenly appeared in his mind without any warning.

Tang Wulin merely opened his eyes in a calm manner, and a faint smile appeared on his face.

"The second trial of the Sea God, Loneliness, has been completed. Duration: one year!"

One year? Tang Wulin's heart stirred slightly upon hearing this. He had been in this world of nothingness for an entire year?

His power spread through his entire body again, and sound was suddenly reintroduced into his world, something that he had become completely unaccustomed to.

As he focused his gaze, he discovered that he was still in the Bright City Sports Stadium, and Qiangu Zhangting was charging toward him from not far away. At this moment, Qiangu Zhangting's face was twisted with fury, and he was letting loose a guttural howl that didn't even sound human anymore.

"Clang!" He reflexively raised his golden trident, and he discovered that it seemed to have become slightly lighter yet again.

The bare Coiling Dragon Staff struck the golden trident, but it was clear that the two weapons were on completely different levels. Qiangu Zhangting stumbled back a few steps, then abruptly stopped in his tracks.

In that instant, he caught a glimpse of Tang Wulin's eyes.

Those eyes had been filled with pride and mockery just a moment ago, yet they had suddenly become incredibly tranquil and calm, like a lake that had been undisturbed for centuries.

Tang Wulin pointed his golden trident forward, and uttered the word "restrict"!

Qiangu Zhangting's expression froze on his face, and he suddenly discovered that he was unable to do anything.

"Dragon Emperor Slash!"

Countless beams of golden light instantly combined as one, and this one beam of light was filled with unstoppable will and regal radiance.

In that instant, it was as if Tang Wulin had transformed into the overlord of heaven and earth, and his golden trident was like a blade that could sever space and time.

Restrict Time and Space, Dragon Emperor Slash!

Throughout this past year of thought and enlightenment, he had finally managed to combine his Time Reversal domain, Fury of the Masses, All or Nothing, and Path of Regal Domination into a single attack, which was this Dragon Emperor Slash!

"Boom!" A projection appeared almost instantly in front of Qiangu Zhangting, and the congealed time and space warped before shattering into countless pieces.

The entire protective barrier within the sports stadium also instantly crumbled, and a piercing dragon's roar reverberated throughout the entire venue.

A massive halo proliferated outward, repelling Tang Wulin's body into the distance, while a deep trench was left in the ground.

Countless cracks had appeared over the entire competition platform, and Qiangu Dongfeng was standing in front of his own grandson with a furious expression. Qiangu Zhangting was currently sitting on the ground, looking as if he had lost his soul. His Coiling Dragon Staff had been snapped in half, and even though his battle armor was completely unscathed, there was a gash running down all the way from his forehead. The gash was only skin-deep, but blood was pouring incessantly out of it, creating a very gory sight to behold.

Qiangu Dongfeng was also holding his Coiling Dragon Staff, but a deep gash had also appeared on it, and the staff was around a third of the way sliced through. Furthermore, there was a gash running from his face all the way down to his abdomen as well. He had immediately sealed off his own blood vessels so he wasn't bleeding profusely like Qiangu Zhangting, but he had still been injured.

This was the Spirit Pagoda Chairman, a Limit Douluo who was at least a demigod; even though he had been off guard, there weren't many people in the world who would've been capable of injuring him!

The entire stadium was stunned by the sheer destructive power of the golden trident.

Tang Wulin withdrew his golden trident with a calm expression. "Is the rest of the family going to gang up on me now?"

Qiangu Dongfeng took a deep breath to repress his own rage and incredulity, and said, "Qiangu Zhangting concedes the match; I intervened to save his life."

Indeed, if it weren't for Qiangu Dongfeng's intervention, Qiangu Zhangting would've most likely been sliced in half by that attack. Even his three-word battle armor wouldn't have been able to resist Tang Wulin's golden trident at all.

Not only was Dragon Emperor Slash capable of sealing time and space, it could disregard all defenses as well. This was why Qiangu Dongfeng had been injured and his Coiling Dragon Staff had been damaged, even though he had clearly blocked Tang Wulin's attack and sent him flying with his domain.

A faint smile appeared on Tang Wulin's face, and he couldn't be happier with this outcome. He didn't know why the year he had spent in the second trial of the Sea God seemed to have only equated to an instant in the real world, but he certainly wasn't complaining.

Ai Fei opened his mouth three times in succession to say something, but was still unable to find the appropriate words. Qiangu Dongfeng was clearly at the height of his rage, so it was best for Ai Fei to remain silent in case he incurred the chairman's wrath.

At this point, all of the spectators present had already erupted into a frenzy.

"Yu Longyue, Yu Longyue, Yu Lonyue!" This was a match being broadcasted all over the entire continent, and even though it wasn't very long, it had definitely been extremely spectacular.

Qiangu Zhangting seemed to have gained the upper hand with his initial ferocious barrage, but Tang Wulin had suddenly turned the tables with his enormous domain, then even wounded the Spirit Pagoda Chairman with his golden trident. All of these scenes had been branded deep into the hearts of the spectators, and everyone was forced to adjust their evaluation of Yu Longyue.

Just how powerful did he have to be to have wounded Qiangu Dongfeng? Even a Limit Douluo most likely wouldn't be able to easily injure another Limit Douluo; in that instant, Yu Longyue's future progression to the Limit Douluo level had virtually become a foregone conclusion in the eyes of everyone present.

Even Er Ming had put down his snacks and was looking on with his mouth gaped open in shock.
