The Legend of the Dragon King

Chapter 1093: Devour

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

The multitude of abyssal creatures blocked the warriors’ field of vision but also that of the abyssal king.

Even when the Six-clawed Demon Emperor disappeared, it did not understand what had happened. This was truly unbelievable!

A human had captured the Six-clawed Demon Emperor? Were humans this powerful already? The Ant Emperor looked on with its mouth agape, but it was not brave enough to charge forward.

Although it was much more powerful than the Six-clawed Demon Emperor, the Demon Emperor had space-controlling abilities. That was why it was sent here first. In addition to that, its clansmen were the greatest in number, which was how they became the vanguard.

In terms of combat power, it was more powerful than the Six-clawed Demon Emperor. However, if something unusual were to occur to it, it would have no confidence in being able to withstand such a thing!

‘I can’t act rashly. What do these humans want? So what if they’ve caught Six-claws? Once Six-claws dies, its plane core will naturally bring its energy back to the abyss! That’s not something that humans can prevent.’

A light flashed, and the huge mirror behind Zhang Huanyun darkened again. However, another image appeared in the mirror. It was a colossal figure that was looking around itself with a lost expression. Was that not the Six-clawed Demon Emperor?

Zhang Huanyun’s lips formed an arc across his face. Their victory or loss would hinge upon this move.

One hundred and eight. That sounded like a lot. However, if they devoured them one by one, upsetting the actual abyssal plane was not a difficult task.

His mind was still occupied with these thoughts when he raised a thumb toward Cao Dezhi. This Heartless Douluo’s strength was truly dauntless. He had barely shown his face when he caught an abyssal king, as expected of Blood One.

In recent decades, the Heartless Douluo was the one who had entered the abyssal plane the most frequently. He had traveled to and from the two planes. He had even personally killed an abyssal king before which brought chaos to some layers of the abyss. That gave the Blood God Army more time to rest and recuperate.

This time, when he captured the Six-clawed Demon Emperor, who was clearly not among the highest-ranking abyssal creatures, he seemed to have done it with great ease.

“Wulin.”

A voice reached his ears, and Tang Wulin woke up from his meditation. He turned and looked at Cao Dezhi beside him.

Cao Dezhi said, “You come with me,” and grabbed Tang Wulin’s shoulder. Tang Wulin suddenly felt an extremely sharp aura bursting out of this man’s body. In the next instant, he seemed to have entered a lustrous and dazzling world.

Everything around him was contorted while simultaneously being sharp. It seemed as if he would be cut to pieces if he made any rash movements.

He had personally experienced Ye Xinglan’s sword’s consciousness before. He even witnessed Ye Xinglan comprehending her Swordsoul in battle. However, all that was vastly different compared to what he felt now.

This strange sword’s consciousness seemed alive. It was connected to all the space around him. It brought him along and sped freely through the area.

Tang Wulin only realized now that a human’s cultivation base could reach such astounding levels.

Tang Wulin’s heart was filled with shock. He never expected that his uncle-master could do this.

A faint smile appeared at the edge of the Heartless Douluo’s lips. “Wulin, now, use your Golden Dragon Spear and stab it into that abyssal creature. We must try to see if we can truly kill such powerful abyssal creatures. If your body can’t take it during the process of devouring, you must tell me at once.”

‘Kill an abyssal creature, huh?’

This thought had just appeared in Tang Wulin’s mind when his field of vision brightened up in the next moment. He appeared in another space with Cao Dezhi.

There were only dense airstreams and clouds around him, and the colossal figure before him. Was that not the Six-clawed Demon Emperor in the abyss before this?

The Six-clawed Demon Emperor seemed lost. It was clear that it had no idea what had just happened when it was put in this situation.

When Tang Wulin and the Heartless Douluo appeared, it immediately howled furiously. It waved its six arms and the air contorted violently.

However, at this moment, the clouds and mist around it suddenly transformed into chains which swiftly bound its huge body. It instantly dispersed the energy it had unleashed just a few moments ago.

The Heartless Douluo swung his arm and a sword with a classic design materialized in the air. Still in midair, it split into two and then four. The four sharp swords instantly appeared around the six-clawed Demon Emperor’s head. The contorted space quickly stabilized.

“Wulin, do it!” Cao Dezhi lowered his voice and shouted.

Naturally, Tang Wulin did not hesitate. The abyssal creatures’ energy devoured by his Golden Dragon Spear would even be beneficial to him. Although many impurities would be filtered out in the process, when it was infused into his body, it would give him the purest, attribute-less energy!

He had wanted to fight the abyssal creatures for a long time now. That was the reason he kept strengthening himself. There was no reason for him not to partake in this juicy meal that was served to him on a platter. He could clearly feel that the cultivation base of this monster before him was more powerful than any other abyssal creature he had faced before.

His body moved swiftly, and a pair of wings appeared behind him. He beat them strongly, the Golden Dragon Dragon Flies!

His Golden Dragon Spear fell into his hands and he thrust it right at the six-clawed Demon Emperor.

There were sixteen pairs of compound eyes on the Six-clawed Demon Emperor’s head. Currently, they were filled with contempt. It was not worried that it would die. After it died, the plane’s core would bring it back. As long as the core existed, it would have an opportunity to be reborn. After being a ruler of that plane for so many years, it still had some skills up its sleeve. It was highly confident in its ability to be successfully reincarnated, and it would rule over the plane once again. However, it was still far from pleased to die just like that!

The closer Tang Wulin was to the Six-clawed Demon Emperor, the more he could feel the Heartless Douluo’s strength. The four classic swords that hovered around the six-clawed Demon Emperor’s head had completely locked it in place. It was unable to move even an inch. ‘Are all of them Swordsouls? I never knew that Swordsouls could split into four. Also, every single one of them looks like it could cleave though Heaven and Earth.’

Before the four swords, Tang Wulin felt insignificant.

In the competition this year, he had emerged as champion on both fronts in the end and his confidence was greatly boosted. Now, when he saw the strength Cao Dezhi displayed, he understood that he still had a long way to go before he could compare with a true expert.

In the time it took for this thought to flash through his mind, he had already reached the Six-clawed Demon Emperor. He instantly pierced it with his Golden Dragon Spear. When the spear penetrated the Six-clawed Demon Emperor’s chest, he was surprised that it met with significant resistance.

‘What a tough body! I’m surprised that it’s difficult to stab into it even with the sharpness of my Golden Dragon Spear!’ action

Feeling shocked, Tang Wulin unleashed the Golden Dragon Blast without hesitation.

His Golden Dragon Spear buzzed. Initially, there was still some disdain in the Six-clawed Demon Emperor’s compound eyes. However, in the next instant, it was replaced with terror.

“Puhh!” When the Golden Dragon Spear penetrated into the Six-clawed Demon Emperor’s body, the spear paused slightly. Shortly after, his Golden Dragon Spear turned an incandescent white. White halos instantly covered Tang Wulin’s spear-wielding arm. These halos then swirled in the alternate direction and swiftly entered Tang Wulin’s body.

Tang Wulin’s body shook slightly. In the next instant, he felt incomparable energy suddenly surging into his own body.

This sensation felt like when he first absorbed the dragon clouds in Dragon Valley. This energy was purer and more compressed.

With the infusion of the white halos, his Dragon Core immediately pulsed more intensely. It absorbed these life energies with greed.

As the life energies flowed into his body, Tang Wulin’s soul core also lit up. Tang Wulin hastily utilized his Mysterious Heaven Method to guide these energies so that they flowed into his two great energy cores.

He was not the person who faced the abyssal creatures for the very first time now. Back then, he had not possessed his energy core. He easily felt bloated. This time, the pace of his two great energy cores’ absorbed energy could even be described as greedy.

His soul core and Dragon Core shone. His soul core became more and more crystalline. With the infusion of such a large amount of energy, small tangent planes started appearing on its diamond-shaped surface. With every addition of a tangent plane, his soul core would increase in its brilliance.

On the other hand, his Dragon Core was like a heart. It kept shrinking. Every time it shrank, it could devour a large amount of inflowing life energy. This life energy was transformed by his Dragon Core and merged into his bloodline energy. It was continuously transported to every part of his body.

Tang Wulin felt the energy accumulating in his body. It seemed like the energy was bloating as if it was an inflating balloon.

This...

The Heartless Douluo continued observing the changes in him and the Six-clawed Demon Emperor.

At first, shock appeared in the Six-clawed Demon Emperor’s compound eyes, quickly followed by fear. This was because it was astounded when it clearly felt that its abyssal energy was continuously absorbed by this human. ‘How is that possible? Is this the human’s method of devouring abyssal energies as the strongest rulers mentioned?’
