The Legend of the Dragon King

All of a sudden, his body shook once abruptly. The blood essence in his heart surged wildly such that a layer of faint red color emerged on his skin, which appeared slightly abnormal. Tang Wulin discovered that the blood essence vortex in his body was changing in color due to the high-speed circulation. The initial faint golden color had turned into blazing white. He felt as if he was about to explode.

‘Oh no, could it be that my body can’t withstand anymore because I absorbed too much energy at once?’

He began to feel swelling pain all over his limbs and bones. Tang Wulin gave out a muffled humph, but he could not even release his grasp on the Golden Dragon Spear.

A layer of misty radiance floated onto the Golden Dragon Spear and slowly infused into Tang Wulin’s body such that the color of his body was growing redder and darker. He was still clad in his Dragon Moon battle armor at present with his face covered by the mask, so no one felt anything odd about him.

It was an awesome scene of Tang Wulin severely injuring and defeating the Black Empress in just a single attack. Tang Wulin’s behavior of resting at the same spot after launching such an attack was quite normal. Hence, no one noticed that he was facing such a problem.

Oh no! Tang Wulin smiled bitterly in his heart because he never expected the Black Empress’ energy to be so immense. The energy converted by the Golden Dragon Spear was filtered, but the portion of the Black Empress’ energy was incessant despite the filtration.

Tang Wulin had only ever encountered such a feeling when he was absorbing dragon clouds in the Dragon Valley back then. However, the energy radiating from the Golden Dragon Spear at present was even more direct. The dragon cloud could be absorbed for a long period of time because it was outside of his body. Currently, the energy transfused from the Golden Dragon Spear was infused into his body and bloodline power immediately. The process was too brief that there was utterly no time for him to digest and absorb it!

‘What do I do? It’s hopeless. Looks like I can only withstand it by brute force then!’

Tang Wulin maneuvered his soul power to surround his blood essence power so he could subtly influence the spinning speed of his blood essence vortex and soul power vortex.

However, it was utterly useless. On the contrary, his blood essence vortex and soul power vortex were spinning even faster until the inside of his chest was completely blazing white.

At present, he would not have been able to withstand the tremendous pressure if not for his meridians which were extremely tough.

Tang Wulin could not help smiling bitterly to himself because if he were already failing at this, would it not be even more terrifying if he were to break the tenth layer of the Golden Dragon King Seal?

‘No, I can’t stand this anymore.’ An intense crisis arose in his mind. At this moment, Tang Wulin felt the blood essence vortex in his body suddenly collapsed inward.

The sudden change made him feel as if his entire body was squeezed inward along with his blood essence soul vortex. It felt like he was about to be compressed into a flat pancake.

‘I’m doomed!’

“Boom!”

There was an explosion inside his body accompanied by a loud rumbling noise that only Tang Wulin could hear. The terrifying explosion made him sink into a stretch of darkness. A radiance glowed brightly on his battle armor while Tang Wulin’s body was bursting with an unprecedented, massive aura. The aura burst forth from his body with a layer of misty blood. The color was not red but a faint golden.

Tang Wulin lost his consciousness instantly. During that moment, he felt as if his entire body had turned into powder. The booming sound and all else were isolated in another world in that instant.

His soul floated in the air while everything else in the external world turned blazing white with only the echoes of the explosion remaining in his ears.

How did that happen? His thought had already frozen such that he could not think anymore. His heart was even filled with a fear that he had never felt before.

Tang Wulin lost count of time. It was as if a few centuries had passed, but then again, it also felt like a moment. Tang Wulin’s frozen body could barely move while he supported his body by grabbing on to the Golden Dragon Spear firmly with the palm of his hand.

He gradually regained his consciousness. His body was still riddled with intense pain and a peculiar sensation in his distended limbs.
