Chapter 1434: A Legend Beyond His Time
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
When the Tang Sect’s founder, Tang San, was dominating the continent, it was said that the Beast God was still in a deep sleep. There was a towering figure who would later have a direct relationship with the Beast God. That person was the one who had carved his name in the history taught at Shrek Academy. It was the Holy Ice Douluo Huo Yuhao.
In the legends, the Beast God Di Tian was said to be a creature with a cultivation base of over eight hundred thousand years! He could possibly be the longest-living soul beast on the continent. He had already reached the pinnacle of his cultivation base. Had it not been that soul beasts could not ascend into Godhood, perhaps he would have already done so.
Could it be that the Beast God, that Tang Wulin felt was even more threatening than the Underworld King Douluo Ha Luosa, was still alive? Moreover, he was still living in the core area of the Great Star Dou Forest encaged by the Spirit Pagoda. How was this possible? Why did he choose not to break out from here? Could it be that he was incapable of doing so despite his cultivation base?
These questions flashed past Tang Wulin’s mind for a moment before disappearing. He had to calm himself, as the most important issue at hand was to leave this place alive.
Tang Wulin had never expected that they would encounter the legendary Beast God when they had come here in search of the life crystal.
There was no doubt that Di Tian was the most powerful soul beast, possibly even invincible. He was described as such in all of soul beast history.
Thousands of years ago, he led a great army of soul beasts and launched the beast tide at Shrek City! The entire academy and Shrek City’s centralized strength was required in order to withstand the tide. This person had always been standing at the peak of the world since the beginning of time. According to the historical records, only the Holy Ice Douluo Huo Yuhao, when he was close to ascending into Godhood, had truly defeated the Beast God Di Tian.
Thousands of years later, the Beast God was still alive while the Holy Ice Douluo’s whereabouts had long since been a mystery. From any point of view, Tang Wulin was well aware that they could not possibly be a match for this Beast God.
He did not panic. Indeed, he was extremely calm and composed. At the brink of life and death, there was immense terror, but he had already experienced it countless times. He understood that fear and trepidation would not solve the problem at hand.
“I wish to know how I offended Your Excellency such that you wish to send me to my Doom?” said Tang Wulin indifferently.
The Beast God Di Tian answered coldly, “Because you’re a human being. How can a human deserve to inherit the Dragon God’s bloodline? I can only take back the Dragon God’s bloodline power by killing you.”
Tang Wulin nodded. “What you said earlier… Will you keep your word?”
“Big Brother!”
“Captain!”
The group shouted aloud one after another.
Ye Xinglan took a step forward and arrived by Tang Wulin’s side. She spoke in a deep voice, “We live together and we die together!”
Yuanen Yehui moved forth to Tang Wulin’s other side, “The Seven Monsters as one!”
They would never give up on their companions and flee, regardless of how formidable the enemy, even in the face of an opponent said to be undefeatable like the Beast God Di Tian.
Tang Wulin heaved a soft sigh. His eyes suddenly glowed. “Then let’s go!”
It was useless to say anything more. He understood that he could do nothing else to persuade his companions. Therefore, he could only use all of his strength to fight against this most powerful opponent in the hope that they could seek survive when faced with death.
“Courageous.” Di Tian spoke indifferently, “What a waste that you don’t stand the slightest chance against me. Make a move.”
At a wave of his huge hand, the rest of the three beasts that encircled Tang Wulin advanced at the same time.
The Bear Lord, with his tall, bulky form, grinned hideously. He took huge steps forward, his body swelling up as he moved. In a split second, he had already transformed into the giant Duskgold Dreadclaw Bear, over fifteen meters in height, brandishing its pair of shining claws. The glow of the claws wove together and flickered as it slashed at its opponent.
He was the most powerful out of all the Duskgold Dreadclaw Bears, with a cultivation base of several thousand years. Just by judging purely on its fighting ability, he might have been one of the greatest of all soul beasts, besides Di Tian.
Had he not been struck by the heavy ion beam that caught him off guard that day, Tang Wulin and the rest would have already died at his hands in that very battle.
On the other side, the evil-looking youth moved as well. Yellow, crystalline eyes were seen glowing on countless huge trees in their dark surroundings. Streams of murky, yellow beams covered Tang Wulin’s side.
It was the Thousand Demon King!
There were once Ten Great Beasts in the world of soul beasts. A few of those beasts died at the hands of Holy Spirit Douluo Huo Yuhao while the other two became Huo Yuhao’s spirit souls and helped him to embark on the path to Godhood.
Out of the Ten Great Beasts back then, the Thousand Demon King and the Bear Lord were almost equal, being ranked fourth and fifth respectively. He was no match for the Bear Lord when it came to fighting prowess, but the Bear Lord could not compare to his cunning transformations in battles.
The woman’s silhouette at Tang Wulin’s back flashed as her entire body was surrounded by purple light. There was a deep dragon’s roar as she launched an instantaneous attack.
She was ranked tenth in the Ten Great Beasts and known as the Hell Demon Dragon King Zi Ji!
These three Great Beasts were all the greatest powerhouses of the soul beast world. Even though the Bear Lord and the Thousand Demon King had yet to achieve Limit Douluo pseudogod-rank, they were very close to it. Zi Ji was almost a rank-98 Hyper Douluo.
The act of fighting them was just like battling a team consisting of the Light Dark Douluo Long Yeyue, the Amorous Douluo Zang Xin and the Heartless Douluo Cao Dezhi.
Terrifying pressure seemed to be tearing apart the battleground.
The opponent was so powerful that it was suffocating. The almighty Beast God Di Tian had yet to make a move, but the Seven Monsters were already trapped in a hopeless situation.
“Roar!” Tang Wulin suddenly let out a roar into the sky. The Dragon Moon Song battle armor on his body bloomed out with an incomparably dazzling golden light. It was just like the first golden rays of dawn that suddenly illuminated the endless darkness.
At the sound of the valiant dragon’s roar, the Golden Dragon King’s aura burst forth in a split second. A large stretch of glowing golden dragon images appeared all over the ground. It was his Golden Dragon King Rage Domain!
The other six Monsters and Sima Jinchi felt a gush of surging energy infuse into them. Their aura burst forth from their bodies soon after as dazzling radiance shimmered on their battle armor.
Meanwhile, the three Great Beasts were slightly affected by the deafening dragon’s roar. The Bear Lord’s movements were a little slower. The Thousand Beast King’s attack did not slow, but the radiance emitted from his body dimmed a little.
Zi Ji was the person that was affected the most. She was stunned immediately, and the dark purple radiance emitted from her body was reduced by one-third.
The more dangerous the situation was, the calmer Tang Wulin became. When fighting against such deadly opponents, he was well aware of how difficult it was for them to survive. As a result, he would make the most of everything he had.
The Beast God Di Tian was also the Golden-Eyes Black Dragon King. It was said that his bloodline of one of the most pure and powerful. Even so, his bloodline was not even half as formidable as Tang Wulin’s Dragon God. There was no comparison. Tang Wulin’s bloodline was certainly capable of suppressing this foe.
Meanwhile, when Zi Jin first made a move, Tang Wulin could already sense that this opponent was also from of the Dragon Clan. Moreover, she was one of the malicious members. The Golden Dragon King’s bloodline had unleashed a blazing hot temperature. It was most effective when used to suppress evil dragons like this creature.
Thus, Tang Wulin showed no hesitation when fully unleashing his bloodline aura as soon as he made a move in order to suppress those three great beasts.
During the few short moments earlier, countless ideas had already gone through Tang Wulin’s mind. The four Great Beasts before them were genuinely very powerful, but there was one thing worthy of their attention. It was that these beasts had no battle armor.
Battle armor was the epitome of mankind’s intelligence. It was the perfect combination of modern technology and a soul master’s abilities. It was due to the creation of soul devices that mechas and battle armor were soon developed, and that was the point when soul beasts had truly lost the ability to fight against humanity.
Then, in Tang Wulin’s attempt to make the most of their slim chance of survival when fighting against four Great Beasts, his battle armor would be the fountain of life.
Tang Wulin’s cultivation base could definitely rival any Hyper Douluo by relying on his three-word battle armor. He was even capable of withstanding one or two strikes of a Limit Douluo’s attack. His three-word battle armor and the Golden Dragon King bloodline had already enabled him to enter the range of the elite warriors.
On the other hand, of all his companions, the Gale Demon Saber Sima Jinchi was already a Title Douluo. In addition to his three-word battle armor, Sima Jinchi was similarly equipped with the ability of a Hyper Douluo.
His Dragon Clan’s Power Saber was especially important. If they had to fight for their lives on this day, Sima Jinchi’s presence would be critical.
On the other hand, the remaining Shrek Seven Monsters had all reached Soul Douluo rank. In addition to the three-word battle armor on their bodies, they were all equipped with the abilities of Title Douluos.
In other words, the combination of Tang Wulin’s group of eight was equal to a fighting force of two Hyper Douluos and six Title Douluos. They were all the greatest of their peers.
Such a lineup was rather powerful and this was why Tang Wulin had the audacity to take his companions to the core region of the Great Star Dou Forest.
The opposing side’s four Great Beasts were powerful, but they would still be suppressed his Golden Dragon King Bloodline to a certain degree. The Beast God Di Tian and the purple-haired woman would be especially affected due to their identity as members of the Dragon Clan.
Thus, Tang Wulin had already sketched up a complete plan in his mind. He had yet to find time to communicate with his companions before the battle had already begun.
Zi Ji frowned deeply. From the moment Tang Wulin unleashed his Golden Dragon Rage Domain, she felt as if her soul was shivering in fear.
