Chapter 1402: The Golden Trident

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Tang Wulin condensed his consciousness and discovered that it was actually the Boundless Universe crystal which he received from Elder Long back in the beginning. The crystal which was once translucent blue had turned into a dazzling golden hue at present.

There was a rune barely discernible on the surface of the crystal. The rune was in the form of a golden trident.

What was that?

Tang Wulin guided his spiritual power and consciousness to focus on the golden trident rune.

It was at this very moment that Tang Wulin felt his sea of spirit giving out a soft hum.

The soft hum was heard when the golden trident rune vibrated. It was a soft and refined sound.

On the other hand, Tang Wulin felt his entire sea of spirit boiling over as soon as the soft hum was heard.

His entire sea of spirit seemed like the sea surging with roaring waves. Each subsequent golden wave surmounted the preceding wave. Large stretches of ripples spread outward. It was even more peculiar when Tang Wulin found himself looking at himself!

His projection was suddenly suspended in his sea of spirit. His body appeared to be dangling in the deep sea. Currently, Tang Wulin was looking at his own projection which had a golden trident pattern illuminated on his forehead.

According to legend, it was the golden trident which was said to be the weapon of the Sea God.

Was this given to him by his father? He remembered vividly that the Underworld King Ha Luosa once said that he had a God’s bloodline when he was fighting against him. That was why Ha Luosa could not kill Tang Wulin at the time.

At the moment, Tang Wulin’s heart was filled with excitement upon witnessing the golden trident rune on his forehead. It proved that he truly had a father who had ascended into Godhood.

Ever since he was young, in his heart, it was just Tang Ziran who was his father. Similarly, Tang Ziran treated Tang Wulin like his own son. Tang Wulin felt uneasy over the idea of having another biological father. Yet, how could Tang Wulin not feel grateful for his father’s sacrifice when his biological father mentioned his difficulties, that of saving his adoptive parents and sparing no effort to leave behind something invaluable for him?

He was not a rebellious youth. Due to his past experiences, he understood the trials and tribulations of the world. His biological father who had attained Godhood had no choice but to abandon him because of all the suffering and difficulties which his father faced at the time. Thus, Tang Wulin did not hate Tang San but was anxious instead to meet with his biological parents.

At the moment, there was only affection from the depths of his heart and a deep yearning when he saw the golden trident given to him by his biological father.

There would come a day when he would find a way to look for them, to be with them for sure. It would, by then, be a reunion of the whole family.

Golden striations spread outward from the inside of Tang Wulin’s body. The trident pattern on his forehead was filled with overbearingness. Peculiar transformations began to appear too. His body which was under tremendous pressure initially suddenly felt lighter. All the water pressure pressing on him earlier vanished without a trace. Tang Wulin opened his eyes soon after to discover that a faint blue, light shield had enveloped his body.

Suddenly, he was able to see further away despite the surroundings being completely dark in the deep sea. It was as if the entire sea had turned into a massive piece of blue crystal.

The repulsion and overbearingness he felt earlier had disappeared. In its place was the sound of a child yearning for his mother.

Precisely then, Tang Wulin felt like he had become a part of the sea. There was utterly no need for him to focus his sensing powers as his mind’s perception pervaded the whole area. It could cover a hundred kilometers in a split second, and the image of the sea surface emerged easily in his mind.

Tang Wulin relied on his Spirit Domain spiritual power initially. Based on the present situation of the sea, the area he could sense far exceeded his spiritual sensing powers.

The entire sea seemed to have become his domain in which he could command anything within the place. It was almost as easy as the hand controlling its fingers.

All of a sudden, an idea arose in Tang Wulin’s mind. If his father were here, no weapons would be needed to deal with the Federal Fleet. He would only need to summon the sea’s powers, and it would be sufficient to immobilize the whole fleet.

He could not do that by himself, of course. However, there were many things that he could observe at the very least. In addition, he could apparently control a small part of the sea.

His perception spread out rapidly. Soon, he could see even further. He could finally see what he wished via the great sea’s guidance.

The giant beast-like battleships were advancing slowly and left streams of white water in their wakes. The various large and medium-sized battleships were well over a hundred in number. The battleships were divided into three groups with a mothership leading each group which was in the shape of a triangle.

The three motherships were truly massive and were carrying advanced soul fighter aircraft on their decks. There were at least eight battleships surrounding each mothership. Tang Wulin figured that it should be the Sea God Fleet which belonged to the Boundless Sea Douluo Chen Xinjie.

It was Tang Wulin’s first experience of such a majestic scene. It gave him quite a shock. This was the might of today’s modern technology! It was the true power of the Federation.

A radiance flashed vaguely on the surface of the mothership. It came from the soul protective shields which could be activated anytime to protect these massive vessels.

What terrified Tang Wulin even more were the many gigantic muzzles on the motherships. The calibers of the muzzles were immense. The cannons were not for fixed soul ammunitions. Instead, they were the most advanced Sea God Soul Cannons which belonged to the Federation.

The soul cannon was capable of drawing the water element from the sea. Using a refinement process on its soul circuit, it could harness a form of energy from the water element to be used as an assault weapon. The largest Sea God Soul Cannon could discharge a force which was equal to the destructive force of a rank-6 or rank-7 fixed soul ammunition. Even more horrifying was the ammunition of this cannon was made from the sea. Hence, its supply was virtually inexhaustible!

These were the Federal Army’s trump cards in the expedition. The Federal Fleet was practically invincible in the Star Luo Empire.

The Federation made the decision to wage a war without any hesitation, as the Federation assumed that it had adequate fighting capacity to dominate the entire planet.

Everything observed thus far confirmed the submarine captain’s speculation. The Federal Fleet had arrived in a much shorter time than they imagined. Only that, he was unaware Xie Xie had already relayed the information back to the submarine.

Meanwhile, Tang Wulin sensed that one of the battleships was undergoing some changes all of a sudden. He could tell that the battleship was condensing energy through the water element fluctuation in his surroundings.

Soon after, a radiance flashed once from a naval gun at the front end of the battleship. A loud boom was heard.

A ball of yellow energy shot out violently toward the sky in the distance.

‘Oh, no! That can’t be Xie Xie being caught, right?’

Tang Wulin did not have much knowledge of the weapons on the battleships. He had only heard a summary given by the Tang Sect’s submarine’s captain during the journey.

‘If I’m not mistaken, the yellow cannon should be a concussion cannon.’

Generally, the concussion cannon was also known as the interference cannon which was used to disrupt the detection waves. Its effect involved the perturbation of space to produce an intense concussion wave.

Generally, the concussion cannon was used to avoid being targeted by the opponent’s radar.

However, there was no ongoing naval war at present. The sudden launch of a concussion cannon signified an overt move.

The ball of light exploded. In an instant, the yellow radiance covered a circular area of a thousand meters in diameter. One could see a stretch of the sky illuminated by the yellow light.

A tiny black dot of a silhouette appeared within range of the light shield and fell straight down to the base.

Xie Xie felt gloomy at present. He had been hiding in the void earlier all this while. He immediately launched a signal to the Holy Spirit Douluo without any hesitation upon spotting the three great motherships.

He was to rely on his martial soul, the Space-time Dragon. He did not fear being discovered as the three great motherships could not detect his presence. Yet, when he delivered a signal to the Holy Spirit Douluo, it was immediately intercepted by the Sea God Fleet.

The Sea God Fleet was the most elite fleet in the Federation. As a direct force of the Battle God Hall’s Hall Master, they were not only well-equipped but had ample combat experience too. Simply put, even the combination of the other two fleets could not rival it.

The battleship launched a concussion round without the slightest hesitation.

Everything happened so quickly that Tang Wulin only managed to unleash his battle armor. Nevertheless, he was still affected by the concussion round.

His head was humming intensely at present, and he felt his whole body shivering. He was caught smack in the middle of the concussion range. He hastily mobilized his soul power to normalize his body at once.
