Dragon King of Apocalypse

Chapter 309: Preparation For The Storm

"This isn't looking good..." Muttered Zang Xin.

"It isn't but now we have to construct a plan. Since we know where they are going, we can go from there."Said Yun Ming.

"Alright, I can utilize the remaining navy of the Federation and we can move out to intercept them... Naturally, our military is only a former shell of what it was before."Chen Xinjie frowned.

"Did the Calamity damage reach even the harbor and your naval forces? Or was it because of the stolen goods?"

"Both the Federation didn't release it to the world before. But our Naval army took a big hit when Fafnir was moving through the continent and attacking anything in its path."

"So how much are we looking at for your forces?"

"...1/3 of the Battleships remain with only one mothership."

"And they have two of them... This is going to be dangerous." Qiangu Dongfeng chuckled dryly.

"I don't think so, while our forces are vastly weakened and less in number from the incoming army. We do have the son of the Sea God here and we are battling on the seas." Chen Xinjie's frown was gradually turning into a frown.

While his words were causing the eyes and minds of the others to turn as they heard each of his words.

"Beating the Son of the Sea God on the Sea? Beating an Army of the Son of Sea God on Sea? Fighting the Son of the Sea God on the Sea? All of that is nothing but foolish and a joke. With the help of Tang Wulin and his Sea God Trident, it wouldn't be impossible for us to annihilate them." Chen Xinjie's smile that was forming became viscous.

"That is accurate. He did display that he can calm and control the sea around him to a certain extent at the Sea Palace before."Said Zang Xin.

With Tang Wulin on the mother ship with Chen Xinjie, they may be able to use the boundless sea to help defend them from enemy attacks.

Use the gentle waves to make the enemy miss or just use it to smash into the enemy, causing them to lose soldiers and damage the ship.

"Don't destroy them but just repel them. At the moment, we can't have another war; we can just use this to discourage them."Said Yun Ming causing Chen Xinjue to grumble but he still agreed.

"We have one more problem. What if they have the God Killer? Or What if they have someone secretly moving the God Killer over to Shrek while they're keeping us busy?"Questioned Qiangu Dongfeng.

"If they brought the God KIller to Shrek, we should be able to defend against it with the restoration of the Gold Tree. As well as the plans, we set up to find it and intercept them before they can fire it off, as they need to be close. But if they brought it with them on a battleship..." Yun Ming glanced at Chen Xinjie.

"We can either have Tang Wulin make it, so they offset the firing of the weapon, causing it to miss us. But from what you told us, the plane is dying and so we need to retake the God-Killer weapon before they launch it and then repel them."Said Chen Xinjie with Yun Ming nodding his head.

"Xinjie I will leave you to the preparation of the naval force and will send Tang Wulin over as soon as possible. Dongfeng and Zang will send some of their members over to you and then will bring some to Shrek, to increase defense."They all nodded their heads at Yun Ming words.

"This upcoming event will decide whether we go to war or not. We can't mess this up. Especially if we want to keep this sense of peace, we have now."

In a Golden Lit world.

"Congratulations on passing the eight trials." Said Old Tang as he stared at the smirking people before him.

It has been nine months since they first came here and have already passed eight of the Sea God trials.

They finished the tempering and sharpening of themselves through the battlefield of the Sea God.

From what he notes, most of the time they were only in a group of two before they all met up and continued fighting.

It didn't take them too long to fully get used to their new strength and abilities. After that he had them do the other three trials, breaking through a blockade of the Sea beast.

Fighting the Seven Devils from the previous generation and finally withstanding the attacks of the Sea Priestess.

The Sea Priestess at the time of Tang San generation was a Limit Douluo, causing them to have to withstand a Limit Douluo might.

Normally this would be enough for them to have completed all of the Trials. Technically the only person would be allowed to undergo all of the nine trials.

But Tang Wulin wanted them to undergo all of it, he required the trials to crush them and reborn them again.

'Into terrifying monsters... And terrifying monsters they became.' Thought Old Tang as he felt their soul rank.

Starting from Mu Xi who still had the highest soul ranks and becoming a Title Douluo.

More specifically she became a Super Douluo, as she was ranked 95, just reaching it from the last trial.

Next would be Yuanen Yehui, Yue Zhengyu, and Ye Xinglan were all pushed to rank 94 Title Douluo.

Ye Xinglan specifically was able to make a breakthrough with her Star God Sword and her technique.

Allowing her to undergo fewer bottlenecks than the others and pass them before stopping at 94.

Xie Xie, Xu Xiaoyan, and Wu Siduo were ranked 93 Title Doulos. Xu Lizhi was at rank 92, close to rank 93.

Dai Yun'er was able to reach rank 82 Soul Douluo and Liu Yuxi rank 78 Soul Sage.

Compared to when all of them first got here, their improvement can be considered magically.

Especially when it would have taken those who past the Title Douluo level more than two years to reach.

Yet they all reached it under a year, with Mu XI reaching the Hyper Douluo level and some of them close to it.

If the outside world was to find about their improvement, they would be shell-shocked before sighing.

While muttering, worthy of being a trial of the Gods.

"You all have been here for nine months, completing more trials than the previous seven devils. That in itself already shows your growth and potential, now for the final trial."Said Old Tang as his eyes swept through all of them.

He could feel all of their battle intent and confidence, ready for anything.

"The final trial would be to defeat me while I suppress my Cultivation to a Soul Douluo." Said Old Tang with a faint smile.

Yet none of Tang Wulin friends show any sign of happiness or joy, their expression turned extremely serious.

As they knew this trial would surpass all of the others before and that Old Tang restricted his strength.

Might just be so they could actually have a chance.

Not only that but he was the overseer of the whole God Trials, it wouldn't be surprising if he possessed God-Level technique as well.

Meaning they would have to push themselves and bring out all of their power to defeat him.

But even with all of these odds, none of them showed any fear or were discouraged.

One could even see the urge to fight Old Tang in all of their eyes. As not only would he be the best way to tell how strong they have truly gotten.

But they believe they can make even more breakthroughs with their abilities if they fought such a suffocating enemy.

All of them weren't in the mood or mindset to gain power the normal way, as that wouldn't allow them to keep up with the monster.

They know they have to do everything they can to keep up and stand on the same stage as Tang Wulin.

Something they promise herself, they will do.

"Good...Such extraordinary gazes and determination." Old Tang nodded his head as his eyes moved through all of them.

This time he didn't change the battlefield, as it wasn't needed. After all, the whole Island was there fighting ground.

He simply outstretches his arm and summons the Sea God Trident. It released a divine light that caused Tang Wulin's friends to tremble uncontrollably.

As they felt like the whole ocean and sea was trying to submerge and ruthlessly suppress them under its overwhelming weight.

"Ninth Sea God Trial! Fight the Overseer!" Roared Old Tang as he began twirling his Sea God Trident as he watched all of them swiftly donned their powers.

The ocean began to tremble uncontrollably, alongside the houses that were behind them as Old Tang with a smile began to walk towards them.

"Begin!"

"It's been a while since we've been here." Said Lang Yue with a smile as she walked down the ramps from the ship.

"Haha, I hope everyone has been doing okay." Said Tang Ziran as he glanced towards Tenrou City.

"Hehehe. They should be, let's go and find out honey."Lang Yue's eyes lit up as she grabbed on Tang Ziran's arm.

"Hold on honey, I have to check on the engineer division first. Remember this is the reason that we came back."Said Tang Ziran as he pulled back Lang Yue causing her to pout.

"Fine~ But after that, we're going to check on school and the sect."

"Yes, I promise."

As both of them began moving towards the city, Lang Yue glanced behind and with a giggle moved towards a burly man.

"Come on you. No trailing behind us."

"Um... Miss Yue, I think it's better if I stay out of a sight and-"

"Nonsense, if you aren't able to enjoy this trip as well, then what's the point of you coming?"

"I am only here to protect you guys." Said the Qilin Douluo, Tong Yu.

"Then you guys can protect us in the open light and not the shadow." Said Lang Yue before dragging both Tong Yu and Tang Ziran.

Tong Yu awkwardly glanced at Tang Ziran who only gave a helpless shrug, knowing they wouldn't win.

As they were walking on the road, they noticed some very peculiar sights.

"I didn't know there was soul beast. Did they find them in the forest areas?"Questioned Lang Yue as she saw a bear beast carrying piles of wood.

"Some of them aren't ordinary at all, I can feel some of them have the strength of Super Douluo and even Title Douluo." Said Tong Yue as he expanded his spiritual sense all around.

Covering a whole city was a simple thing for a Limit Douluo; Tong Yu was able to note that there were countless Soul Beasts in the city.

"Hmm, the others don't seem to be happy that they are here." Said Lang Yue as she saw the look of anger on some of the workers.

"Probably they haven't forgotten about the Calamity and their actions." Tang Ziran let out a sigh observing some of the workers snatching the wood out of the beast's hand.

Then giving the beast a look of disdain and anger before marching off.

"Tsk... Why do we have to work with these animals."

"Yea... After all, they have done, should just get rid of all them."

Tong Yu with his Limit Douluo senses could hear the words of the worker and also feel the anger emitting from them.

"I understand where they are coming from... But it was released to the public that the calamities weren't soul beast."Said Lang Yue but Tong Yu only shook his head.

"It's not that simply miss Yue, you are right that it was released to the public and I am sure some of them recognize this. But at the moment, they all had lost the thing they considered precious and in a cruel way too."

"While the calamities are dead, it's not that easy to get over the personal hatred and anger, so since they don't have a direct target. They decided to aim merely at something close, as in their anger and hatred viewed the world, they are the same."Said Tong Yue.
