Tang Wulin couldn"t truly draw upon the power of the sea, but as the son of the Sea G.o.d, he would naturally receive the blessings of the ocean, and the sea was his most loyal guardian. It could be said that it would be virtually impossible even for a demiG.o.d level Limit Douluo to kill him out at sea.
Tang Wulin"s heart was filled with emotion as he sensed the changes in the energy fluctuations within his body. Only after becoming a t.i.tled Douluo did he truly feel like he was worthy of the t.i.tles of Tang Sect Master and Sea G.o.d"s Pavilion Master.
Looking back, everything had happened so quickly that even he was still in disbelief. So many years of effort and sacrifice had finally allowed him to attain his current level of power. He was confident that he would become a Limit Douluo in the near future, and he had to take that step en route to becoming a G.o.d as only then would he be able to find his family!
Many Soul Masters drew motivation in their cultivation from visions of grandeur and power, but those things weren"t very attractive to Tang Wulin. What truly motivated him was the relations.h.i.+p that he shared with those closest to him.
In order to attain the power to protect Gu Yuena, he was willing to sacrifice to constantly advance onward, striving toward the day when he would be able to stand by her side to face her troubles together.
In order to find his birth parents, he had to go even higher and rise beyond the limits of humans to become a G.o.d. This goal was an extremely distant one, but so what? His father had managed to achieve it, so why couldn"t he?
With that in mind, Tang Wulin was instilled with a sense of vigor, and he couldn"t help but throw his head back and let loose a long cry straight into the heavens.
His voice spread far into the distance over the boundless ocean, and the placid seawater began to churn slightly as rich water elements revolved around him in an affectionate manner.
A series of Bluesilver Emperor vines emerged from Tang Wulin"s body, and each vine was around as thick as a human arm. They seemed to be slightly thinner than they had been in the past, but all of them were covered in fine dragon scales. The vines were bluish-golden in color, but they were enshrouded within a layer of purplish-golden light.
No visible arcs of lightning had appeared, but in the instant that these Bluesilver Emperor vines emerged, the air around Tang Wulin began to warp noticeably, as if it were about to be torn apart.
Purplish-golden light flashed through Tang Wulin"s eyes, and he pointed a finger forward, upon which countless Bluesilver Emperor vines shot forth toward the same direction like lightning, converging to form a giant spear that was his Blue Emperor Fury of the Ma.s.ses.
Spear intent surged through the heavens, and a rumbling boom akin to a dull thunderclap suddenly rang out as what appeared to be a purplish-golden void appeared around a kilometer away. The void was only there for an instant before vanis.h.i.+ng, but in that instant, the air up ahead had clearly exploded. There was no spillage of energy, and the strike didn"t appear to have been all that powerful, but it was a result of Tang Wulin doing his best to condense all of the energy together.
He swept a hand through the air, and the Bluesilver Emperor vines suddenly formed a long spear, then a giant hammer, then a ma.s.sive vortex, then a long staff.
The Bluesilver Emperor vines underwent a series of rapid transformations before transforming into countless bluish-golden giant dragons that revolved around him while expelling purplish-golden light out of their mouths.
All of a sudden, Tang Wulin"s ninth soul ring lit up, and the purplish-golden light it was radiating abruptly faded. The Bluesilver Emperor vines around him instantly disappeared, and the s.p.a.ce around him with a diameter of around a kilometer fell completely dim. Countless bolts of purplish-golden lightning erupted from his body, forming a sea of lightning that threatened to destroy the entire s.p.a.ce around him.
This was the first soul skill that the Infernal Lightning Vine had bestowed upon him: Blue Emperor Myriad Lightning h.e.l.l!
Tang Wulin had initially thought that the Infernal Lightning Vine would bestow upon him two of its three original soul skills, but after the Infernal Lightning Vine had fused with his Bluesilver Emperor, it had undergone a mutation, and this Blue Emperor Myriad Lightning h.e.l.l was a result of that. The combination of Lightning Forest and Lightning h.e.l.l, in conjunction with the resolute nature of the Bluesilver Emperor, had formed this current ability.
Within the Blue Emperor Myriad Lightning h.e.l.l, every single Bluesilver Emperor vine would become a part of the lightning to create an even more devastating attack. This was an offensive soul skill with a very large scope, and its destructive power was of the same nature as that of the Infernal Lightning Vine, but it was far more fearsome than the original soul skills of the Infernal Lightning Vine.
Xie Xie"s face paled as he looked on in the distance, and he was giving himself a mental pat on the back for refusing to accept Tang Wulin"s challenge. If he had done so, he would be the one encompa.s.sed within that Blue Emperor Myriad Lightning h.e.l.l right now!
After his martial soul had evolved into the s.p.a.ce Time Dragon, he had developed an extremely acute sense of time and s.p.a.ce. As such, he could sense that all time and s.p.a.ce would be destroyed by the laws of lightning within the scope of that soul skill. On top of that, the attack was imbued with a powerful righteous aura, which would undoubtedly make it extremely effective against evil Soul Masters.
Yue Zhengyu looked on with a determined expression while repeatedly reaffirming his conviction to never spar with Tang Wulin ever again!
As for Xu Xiaoyan, she was completely astonished. The current Tang Wulin resembled the Lightning G.o.d with purplish-golden light radiating from his entire body, releasing such immense explosive power that simply approaching him would be an extremely perilous task.
"This is insane! The destructive power of that soul skill can compare with a ninth-grade soul missile!"
"Captain still hasn"t decided on a Douluo t.i.tle yet, right? How about we call him Bomb Douluo? Bomb Douluo Tang Wulin, haha!" Xie Xie chuckled in a low voice.
Yue Zhengyu pursed his lips and was just about to say something when his pupils suddenly contracted. A pair of wings shot out of his back like lightning, and he instantly encircled an arm around Xu Xiaoyan"s waist before hurtling back in retreat.
Xie Xie immediately realized that something was wrong upon seeing this, and the air warped around him as he tried to phase into s.p.a.ce, but a streak of purplish-golden light emerged out of thin air before striking the patch of s.p.a.ce he had just vanished into.
"Argh!" Xie Xie howled as purple lightning surged all over his body, and he was forcibly shocked out of thin air. His entire body trembled violently, and his hair stood up on end while his eyes rolled back amid his violent convulsions. His martial soul had been completely dispelled by that lightning strike, leaving him unable to even control himself, let alone escape.
"What"s this about a Bomb Douluo?" Tang Wulin appeared beside Xie Xie with a smile before draping an arm across Xie Xie"s shoulders to prevent him from plummeting out of the sky.
Xie Xie"s entire body was numb, and his mind was completely blank, so he was in no shape to answer Tang Wulin"s questions.
Not only was he in great physical pain, even his soul had been shocked violently.
A burst of suction force was released by Tang Wulin"s hand to draw the lightning power within Xie Xie"s body away, and he murmured to himself, "This Lightning G.o.d Whip truly is a formidable attack. Even with only 10% of its power, it was too fast for Xie Xie to evade, and he didn"t even get a chance to release his battle armor."
The Lightning G.o.d Whip was the second soul skill bestowed upon him by the Infernal Lightning Vine.
It was an individual offensive ability, so it complemented the Blue Emperor Myriad Lightning h.e.l.l perfectly.
However, Tang Wulin still hadn"t completely mastered the ability yet, so he didn"t dare to unleash its full power. Both of these soul skills were extremely taxing on his soul power with both the Blue Emperor Myriad Lightning h.e.l.l and the Lightning G.o.d Whip expending around 30% of his soul power after a single use. Tang Wulin could sense that there was a type of power of laws that was related to s.p.a.ce imbued within this Lightning G.o.d Whip. This was perhaps due to the deeper understanding of spatial laws he had attained when completing the final fusion after witnessing the Unpredictable Storm demonstrated by Tang San.
If he wanted to truly master this Lightning G.o.d Whip, he had to continue to attain a better understanding of s.p.a.ce.
Only after several minutes had pa.s.sed did Xie Xie gradually recover from his numbness, but his body was still spasming from time to time.
"Boss, th, that thing is way too powerful! Even now, I can still only barely feel my own body. Why was I unable to evade that attack even after escaping into s.p.a.ce?" Xie Xie asked with a stunned expression.
While being struck by the Lightning G.o.d Whip, he had felt as if his soul had almost been torn apart, and his s.p.a.ce Time Dragon martial soul was completely powerless. Of course, this was partially due to the fact that he had been struck while completely unprepared, but he had a feeling that even if he had been given ample time to prepare, he still wouldn"t have been able to evade the attack.
