Chapter 1854: Pulling Out the Sea God’s Trident!
Tang Wulin faltered slightly upon hearing this, following which a massive wave of dejection instantly washed over his body.
He felt as if his heart were being squeezed between a vice. “Father, let’s continue; I don’t want you to go.” His father’s eyes were always so gentle and loving, and regardless of whether they were facing each other in battle or not, Tang San’s gaze had constantly been resting on him, as if he were trying to commit Tang Wulin’s appearance to the deepest parts of his memory.
Tang Wulin was able to clearly sense the fatherly love even as they fought.
They were separated by an immeasurable distance, but his father had always been doing everything in his power to leave something for him so he could become more powerful and more able to protect himself.
Despite the arduous situation that he was in, Tang San had still chosen to give him the Sea God’s Trident so that it could protect him. It was clear that he was going to leave now, and this would perhaps be the last time Tang Wulin would be able to see his father unless he could find him in real life.
Tang San smiled, and said, “I’m sure we’ll meet again before too long. Have faith in your father, my son; I’ll definitely come back for you, and our family will be reunited. I won’t and am unable to dictate what you do with your life; all I can do is protect my little Qilin to the best of my abilities. You’ve already grown up now, so walk the path that you deem to be right, and make sure to remember what I’ve told you.”
Tang San took a deep breath as he spoke, then plunged the Sea God’s Trident and Golden Dragon Spear into the ground before stepping forward and giving Tang Wulin a massive hug.
Tang Wulin was unable to feel Tang San’s body as it only seemed to be an illusion, but in this instant, his heart was filled with boundless warmth and sorrow.
“Father.”
Tang San’s figure was slowly vanishing, and Tang Wulin was doing everything he could to cling onto his father’s aura.
His tears gushed forth like water out of a broken dam, but his father only continued to fade further and further in his embrace.
“The eighth trial of the Sea God, Battle Between Father and Son, has been completed. Now initiating the ninth trial of the Sea God, Pull Out the Sea God’s Trident!”
The light of Unpredictable Storm faded, and the Golden Dragon Spear vanished into Tang Wulin’s forehead as a streak of golden light. Thus, the only thing that remained before him was the massive Sea God’s Trident.
At this moment, it was plunged into the ground and radiating a faint light.
The feeling of being born anew from the power of the sea was still lingering in Tang Wulins body, and he stepped forward before wrapping his hands tightly around the shaft of the Sea God’s Trident. The tears continued to flow, and Tang Wulin roared, “Father, Mother, I won’t disappoint you!”
……
“Boom!”
Wu Zhangkong’s body was sent flying for several hundred meters, and its momentum was only arrested after he crashed into a mountain.
An ice-cold aura instantly surged forth in all directions, freezing all of the oncoming abyssal creatures into ice statues.
He hadn’t sustained any injuries thanks to the protection of his Sky Frost Dragon Ice battle armor, but at this moment, there was a grim look on his face.
Not far away, the three Spirit Dragon Kings were still standing.
They had been attacking the three Spirit Dragon Kings for quite some time now, but if these three Abyssal Spirit Dragon Kings had to be described through Soul Master terminology, then they would be the most powerful control system Soul Masters, and of the spiritual control system, at that.
Even the most ordinary four-clawed bat would instantly attain Titled Douluo level power upon being doused in a cloud of Invulnerability Mist released by the Abyssal Spirit Dragon Kings, and the enhancement was naturally even more pronounced for more powerful abyssal creatures.
The abyssal creature that had just sent Wu Zhangkong flying was an Abyssal Evil Sickle that had been enhanced by Invulnerability Mist.
One had to realize that in his Sky Frost Dragon Ice battle armor, Wu Zhangkong already possessed Limit Douluo level powers, and he was also a rank 97 Hyper Douluo, yet he had been sent flying by a single attack from the Abyssal Evil Sickle, and that was sufficient testament to just how fearsome the Invulnerability Mist was.
The only silver lining was that their elite group of 10 had managed to attract the attention of the three Spirit Dragon Kings, thereby not allowing them to focus on any other part of the battlefield.
The two sides were currently locked in an impasse, and due to the arrival of the Tang Sect’s black mecha squadron, the situation hadn’t deteriorated any further.
They were finally able to stop the expansion of the abyssal army and try to hunt down the Abyssal Spirit Dragons.
Abyssal Spirit Dragons were extremely powerful, but they naturally couldn’t compare with an entire squadron of black mechas, so they could only abandon the abyssal army and escape once the situation grew dire.
Thus, the battlefield had been completely stabilized, particularly once the long-range artillery fire support arrived from the sea.
However, the current situation was still very concerning for Wu Zhangkong. If the three Abyssal Spirit Dragon Kings were already this powerful, then what about that Spirit Sovereign?
At this moment, he was locked in battle with Gu Yuena, and it was quite apparent that his powers were superior to hers. However, he was displaying no intention of controlling the battlefield and was merely allowing the Spirit Dragons to lead the abyssal army in his stead.
With his Divine Origin realm spiritual power, the entire battlefield would most likely shift in an instant if he were to begin to exert his influence.
Most importantly, Tang Wulin still hadn’t returned. The abyssal army had suffered far heavier losses than the human army, but the life energy of all human soldiers that perished would instantly be devoured by abyssal creatures, yet once an abyssal creature perished, their energy would simply return to the abyssal plane.
Under these circumstances, the abyssal army essentially had an infinite reserve supply of troops. Even if the current situation could be maintained, how would the human army be able to continue to resist once everyone ran out of soul power and energy? Even the most powerful of individuals had their limits!
Just like Gu Yuena, he was also hoping that Tang Wulin would appear on the battlefield soon.
Dazzling stars were shining in the sky, and with each beam of starlight that fell, a powerful abyssal creature would be rooted to the spot. After that, they would be torn to shreds by peerlessly sharp sword projections.
Xu Xiaoyan had already become the brightest star on this side of the battlefield. As the main control system Soul Master here, it was her presence that was countering the three Abyssal Spirit Dragon Kings to a great extent.
At this moment, the Spirit Dragon King on the left had sustained a huge wound on its left shoulder that had been dealt by Ye Xinglan’s sword after it had fallen prey to Xu Xiaoyan’s control.
Thus, the three Spirit Dragon Kings had become even more cautious, and they would occasionally unleash spiritual attacks to target Xu Xiaoyan.
Shrek’s Six Monsters were all connected by Starlight Shackles, and Xu Xiaoyan was only able to withstand the spiritual attacks from the Spirit Dragon Kings through their shared spiritual power.
No one else had been connected to them using the Starlight Shackles as the six of them had developed exceptional teamwork over the years they had been together, and connecting anyone else could actually work to their detriment by ruining their chemistry.
Aside from Xu Xiaoyan, the most eye-catching figure had to be Sima Jinchi. He had become the feared executioner on the battlefield with his Dragonslaying Saber, and almost no abyssal creature was able to stand in his path.
Having been polished by the Golden Dragon Spear, the Dragonslaying Saber was truly displaying its might as a divine weapon. In the past, Sima Jinchi had very rarely gotten any opportunities to display his power as he was constantly with Tang Wulin. Thus, it was always A’Ruheng who had shone brighter among the duo, particularly in that match against the Battle God Hall.
However, Sima Jinchi had actually also been progressing extraordinarily quickly in his cultivation due to the influence of Tang Wulin’s Golden Dragon King aura.
He and Yuanen Yehui led from the very forefront, opposing the powerful abyssal army. If it weren’t for the Invulnerability Mist being released by the three Spirit Dragon Kings, all of the abyssal creatures on the mountaintop would’ve already been slain by them.
