Dragon King of Apocalypse

Chapter 157: Duskgold (3)

'I didn't think it would all work out, so well.' Thought Tang Wulin as he stared at the crackling energy that was the destruction energy.

Just a second ago, the Bear Lord himself was bombarded with over fifty Lacrima filled with destruction energy that was underground. The power of just one sphere could easily destroy a whole hill but over fifty of them?

Not even a mountain range would be able to exist if they all went off at the same time. Let alone Title Douluo, Tang Wulin wasn't sure even those higher could withstand the blast with just their bare body alone.

Yet, the Bear Lord took all fifty of them at point-blank, while he was being somewhat restrained. Most would be shocked and surprised about the damage that was caused in the area around, but the rest would completely have one question on their mind.

How could such a thing happen?

In fact, the proper question should be where did those spheres filled with destruction energy come from?

Of course, they were all from Tang Wulin who planted them inside of the ground, across the whole island during the week he stayed here. But even then, how would he knew he would be fighting the Bear Lord or even how did he even know this would be the location?

'Was it a week ago? No... It was at that time.' Thought Tang Wulin.

When first began to spread out his senses, after the changes of him gaining the Life Goddess Bloodline. He was able to locate the Bear Lord that was about five kilometers away from the Demon Island, with him being able to tell their exact location.

Initially, he was surprised, they didn't perceive him but then realize his Spiritual Sense had been refined and remolded by the Life Goddess bloodline. From what he could tell, most likely only someone with a Divine Sense could notice or even feel his detection on them.

Of course, he didn't know the person, was the Bear Lord but that didn't matter as he could feel their emotions, life energy, and intent clearly. Yet it wasn't just that, as the most terrifying part was that he could inspect the amount of danger that the Bear Lord was to him.

Actually, it was more of his sense being able to tell whether the person's influence would cause him bad luck or good luck. As Yggdrasil and Sleipnir told him that the Goddess of Life had the ability to divine the luck of future events or actions.

Although they were surprised, his spiritual sense would have developed an ability like that. As something like that would cause one spiritual sense which could already find out information about their opponent, to become even more devastating.

Either way, he was able to determine the man was bad news and also a rough estimate of his strength.

So he began formulating a plan to combat it, as he had no intention of running or avoiding him. After he had come up with the plan, he began preparing the 'secret weapons' underground, all around the Island.

As he truthfully didn't have any idea where he would be engaging his opponent or if he would be able to get to them to the island. Of course, he put most of them at the edge of the Island, just in case.

With all of the preparation done, he went on the initiative and forced the man towards the Demon Island, where he had the greatest advantage. From there, he merely began to dominate the man and simply look for ways to enact the plan.

Of course, he wouldn't rely on the plan itself as nothing was perfect. Which was shown when the man turned into an enormous gigantic bear Spirit Beast, forcing him to adapt and find a way to turn it back. As this wasn't just any Spirit Beast but was the king among the Duskgold Dreadclaw Bears.

Rank fourth in the Great Beast ranking and is one of the strongest Spirit Beast that is alive in the world. Of course, that only motivated him more and also gave him a better chance of beating this foe because of his Dragon Core and Golden Dragon King suppression.

Which is why he used different tactics to pummel it and then went for the kill with his Golden Dragon Spear. The Bear Lord tried to guard against it but from the very start of their battle, he has been using his third soul skill, Ena.

Each time, the Bear Lord was wrapped in his vines, he was being slowly infected by his sleep powder. It didn't work right away but as the fight went on, the Bear Lord was starting to feel the mental exhaustion and drowsiness of the powder.

Combine this with his use of slowing down the Bear Lord's perception of time with his time magic. It allowed his spear to easily close the distance and make contact. This was also why, Tang Wulin's absorption of Soul, Spiritual Energy, and Energy was so effective.

Although he was somewhat surprised by the Bear Lord escaping its death, it didn't matter as he simply moved on to another method.

Which was why he dragged all of the Lacrimas filled with destruction energy from all around the Island, towards him.

He did this with his Blue Silver Genesis, while he was fighting with the Bear Lord. Then he simply uses some of his other vines to weaken the structure below and then drag down the Bear Lord.

"But of course, Limit Douluo really are monsters."Mutter Tang Wulin with a light sigh with his body instinctively stepping back.

A Large claw appeared under Tang Wulin who was looking forward, causing the ground to split apart. It was giving off incomparably terrifying and savagery power as it made its way towards Tang Wulin.

Yet the large claw didn't tear or rip apart Tang Wulin at all. In fact, the claw swept straight past Tang Wulin with it missing him only by an inch.

"How!" An earth-shaking roaring shook the sky itself.

"Took you long enough to come back up. I was wondering if I would have to send some vines down for you."Said Tang Wulin with a slight smirk as he stared at the Bear Lord.

The image of the Bear Lord was no longer the majestic figure of the Duskgold Dreadclaw Bear that could strike fear in anyone.

As right now, some of it burns were burned off with burn marks showing. One could see the remnant of the destruction energy as little sparks were moving around the Bear Lord body. Other than the occasional wounds and scraps, the Bear Lord seemed to be fine.

Not only that but it seems it was able to rid itself of Tang Wulin Golden Dragon Spear. With the spear wound, slowly closing up.

'Interesting.' Thought Tang Wulin as he was able to perceive what had happened below.

The Bear Lord with quick thinking was able to gather its blood essence power to guard against most of the energy. Not only that but it seems even its internal organs had been cultivated to the point that they had defensive powers similar to its outer body.

"Not bad using your Blood Essence to guard against most of the damage."Said Tang Wulin with a hint of amusement in his eyes.

Of course, this pissed off the Bear Lord even more as the dusk gold radiance around him began to glow even more intense. Yet Tang Wulin didn't give him a chance to attack as purple-black orbs instantly appeared around him.

The Bear Lord eyes widen as he saw the chaotic energy that was crackling off them and also the terrifying feeling from before.

'Those are!'

Bang!

The Bear Lord roar rang out as it felt its fur being burned from the orbs of destruction energy exploding in front of him. Tang Wulin gained the ability to utilize the destruction energy in ways he was never been able to before after he had gained the God of Destruction bloodline.

While he always had, destruction energy inside of his Soul Core, he wasn't able to utilize it at all, it was the same for the life energy. In fact, these energies only acted up when he was in danger or if something they didn't like appears.

While he didn't have much practice with the destruction energy, he was able to utilize it on a basic level because of his Annihilation training. Of course, similar to his Annihilation he could only use a little bit of the destruction energy or else he will lose control of it.

Although his control would get better, the more of his Destruction God bloodline he is able to awaken.

So it wasn't a surprise that the Bear Lord wasn't as damaged from that attack, compare to him taking over fifty Lacrima of destruction energy. But it wasn't like Tang Wulin employed that attack thoughtlessly. As four rings appeared behind him and they began to lit up.

Instantly countless amounts of multi-colored vines erupted from below both Tang Wulin and the Bear Lord. They all rose up from below and loop around both of them, like a birdcage. Each of the vines emitted incredible streaks of lightning radiance and crackled with fury as if they were bolts of lightning.

It was then, a thunderous sound rang out, as blue lightning vines hacked down towards the Bear Lord who was still recovering from the destruction energy.

It was as if there were thousands of thousands of lightning bolts hacking down. The Bear Lord was only able to raise its arms to block before the bolts struck and continuously descended.

The sound of lightning rumbled, ear-splitting and deafening as bolts of vines continuously descending upon the Bear Lord.

'This won't do match but, it should give me a chance.' Thought Tang Wulin as he knew none of his soul power attacks except for the Destruction Energy would put a dent into the Bear Lord defense.

Tang Wulin outstretches his hand, causing his Golden Dragon Spear to reappear in his hand as the lightning vines in front of him were blown apart. He instantly flicks his finger up causing another set of vines to erupt from the ground, but they didn't swarm towards the Bear Lord.

An ear-splitting sound rang out as a streak of light shot straight towards Tang Wulin. Tang Wulin clenches his Golden Dragon Spear while pouring Destruction and Annihilation Energy around it. Yet this wasn't the end as even his golden-red aura was beginning to fuse with the spear.

'More!'

Tang Wulin's blood core began to rumble with raw power and fury, as its energy started to explode outward from it. An ethereal dragon head begins forming at the tip of the Golden Dragon Spear as if it was becoming an eastern dragon.

Instantly the golden dragon shape around his glittering spear turned into a blood dragon with murderous rage. Violent streaks of golden and red light begin spreading out of the Golden Dragon Spear as if was awakening after a long slumber.

As he saw the streak of light reaching towards him, Tang Wulin threw his spear with all of his might causing the space in front of him to severely distort. This was not a skill or special ability from Tang Wulin but his pure overwhelming might that was making the space around him submit.

The spear that was emitting deadly radiance began tearing asunder the area around itself as it headed towards the streak of light. The Bear Lord unleashed one of its most terrifying attacks, called the Darkgolden Terrowclaws.

Once it was unleashed, everything began to be torn into pieces from the air to space itself. This was an attack that truly made it be known as the king of destruction among the Spirit Beast.

The Darkgolden Terrowclaw and the Spear began clashing for dominance causing sparks of energy to interweave through the sky like lightning. Space itself was being shattered and smashed apart from these two trying to overpower the other.

The clash was so terrifying that even if one was to escape to another dimension. They would still be able to feel the terrifying aura and energy of these clashes.

'Time Magic: Compression.'

'Time Magic: Acceleration.'

'Time Magic: Red Zone.'

Tang Wulin took one step, causing Space to distort around him. It was then that the distance between him and Bear Lord shortened, causing him to instantly appear above him.

As if the Bear Lord was expecting him, a terrifying claw was hacking upward to Tang Wulin who was able to instantly appear in front of it. Yet with a speed that he didn't display before, Tang Wulin struck back with his own fist.

Dark gold and Golden-red energy erupted outward, as these two tried to overpower each other. Both of them began sending out strikes after strikes against each other, causing small shockwaves through the sky and through the void.

Yet the Bear Lord was on the losing end, as it had to be careful of Tang Wulin's constant use of Destruction Energy and his other attacks. It wouldn't be wrong to say, that Tang Wulin was unleashing all of his attacks as he fought in close quarters with the Bear Lord.

The Bear Lord was struggling just getting close to Tang Wulin. It would be pelted with a countless number of specs of energy from above or the vines from below that were emitting lighting. It could also feel its body getting tired when it hasn't even been that long since the fight started as if he has been fighting for months.

If this wasn't bad enough, it would have to deal with the explosion of Tang Wulin aura if it got too close. Tang Wulin attacks had great coordination with each other, with each combing with each other and effectively restraining the Bear Lord.

This caused it to stepped back and retreated, while Tang Wulin's attacks became more ruthless and ferocious.

Tang Wulin attacked more and more, with the golden-red aura around him surging chaotically. His hand had already become a blur with his sense constantly searching for an opening as he kept on sending out a countless amount of attack.

The more the Bear Lord retreated, the faster Tang Wulin attacks came coming with the Bear Lord becoming nothing more than a punching bag.

All of this was causing the Bear Lord aura to rumble with a fury that it tried to hold in but it wasn't able to for too long.

With a roar, the Bear Lord stomped down and charge toward Tang Wulin with it ignoring the onslaught of attacks. It didn't take him a second to appear right in front of Tang Wulin as he raised his claw to slash down.

But then his body instantly froze and trembled as he felt an intent sense of danger. It instantly shot back as the sea below them rose up like a violent hurricane as if it wanted to catch the Bear Lord.

It was then that the Bear Lord eyes slightly widen and its body shiver as it saw Tang Wulin smirk getting even bigger. It was then a streak of purple, black and gold appeared right behind the Bear Lord with the intent to pierce through it.
