Chapter 1761: Subtree’s Attraction
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
There was a slight change in Tang Wulin’s expression at this very moment. He clearly felt an aura of intense yearning from a large area in the distance.
What was that…
He looked up subconsciously and saw large droves of abyssal creatures moving in the distance. They charged toward Tang Wulin akin to the incoming tidewater.
The corners of Tang Wulin’s lips twitched once. ‘Ancient Life Tree, oh, Ancient Life Tree. The subtree you brought over is really troublesome!’
The abyssal creatures’ nature was to devour all life force. Any form of life force was a scrumptious meal for them.
The low-grade abyssal creatures did not possess any intelligence but relied only on their survival instincts. On the other hand, the Ancient Life Tree’s aura was the source of a plane. It was lofty and pure beyond comparison!
How could the abyssal creatures refrain themselves upon sensing the Ancient Life Tree’s aura? They could hardly wait for the order to proceed. In fact, they had stopped following orders and were already on the offensive instead.
Actually, apart from protecting Tang Wulin, the Life Tree was akin to a bait…
Thousands of abyssal creatures charged toward them wildly. The imposing momentum was filled with oppression.
Fortunately, Tang Wulin and the Limit Douluos were on the peak of the highest mountain. They were closest to the abyssal legion.
The numerous Limit Douluos looked at Tang Wulin oddly, while Tang Wulin could not help smiling bitterly. “It’s not my fault, but since they are here, we might as well take care of them.”
Yali said, “Wulin, stay and guard the Life Subtree and leave the rest to us. Don’t leave this place. You’re not allowed to engage in the battle before the reinforcements are here.”
Tang Wulin opened his mouth in an attempt to refute, but he knew he could not outspeak his godmother. So, he kept quiet and did not express his objection. He summoned his Golden Dragon Spear and tossed out a ball of duskgold radiance simultaneously.
If he was not allowed to fight, it should not be an issue for him to send out his spirit soul, right?
The duskgold radiance enlarged rapidly in the air. It only took a short while before it transformed into a gigantic entity over a hundred meters in height.
The dragon wings on its back spread open. It glided forward and forcibly stopped itself in the sky before landing on the ground.
It spat out a duskgold breath which instantly enshrouded a large area. Wherever the breath passed, the abyssal creatures turned into gray airflows which rose into the sky.
Over on the other side, Tang Wulin stood on the mountain peak and held the Golden Dragon Spear high. The Life Subtree before him unleashed a gush of strong life force into his body such that Tang Wulin’s Golden Dragon Spear began to glow brighter and more dazzling. A green-gold vortex also appeared in the sky soon after. It burst forth with a powerful attractive force.
The four Limit Douluos did not attack simultaneously. The Qilin Douluo Tong Yu stayed by Tang Wulin’s side to protect him while the Holy Spirit Douluo Yali monitored the entire scene.
The two Titan Giant Ape Limit Douluos joined Tang Wulin’s Overlord Dragon in the battlefield.
In the distance, the Northern Army Corps’ soldiers were startled upon seeing the abyssal legion dive into the battlefield once again after a momentary pause. They soon discovered that their allies had displayed even more terrifying capacity.
The Titan Giant Ape was one of the most terrifying martial souls in the assault system. Furthermore, there were two Limit Douluos.
It would still be the same even if the king of the Titan Giant Apes, Er Ming were here. Their combat techniques were the gravitational control, tremor, and smash. These simple and straightforward abilities were effective on these abyssal creatures.
The abyssal passage had just opened. So, the powerful abyssal creatures had yet to appear. How could these medium-low rank abyssal creatures withstand the assault of these Limit Douluos?
Sharp howls were frequently heard coming from the distance. The abyssal creatures charging forward were hesitant and cowardly.
However, they desperately charged forward with reddened eyes upon sensing the dense life source of the Life Subtree. It was their survival instincts. The lower the abyssal creature’s rank, the less resilient it was in resisting the allure.
Tang Wulin’s lips curled into a faint smile. He watched as a large amount of life force flowed over to him, and he felt absolutely wonderful.
In the presence of the Life Subtree, his Golden Dragon Spear was just a relay station. The life force would be absorbed by the Life Subtree naturally. The life force did not have to pass through his body anymore, so he did not have to worry about being bloated.
Every once in a while, the Life Subtree would give a small amount of life force to him. Even though it was a very small amount, it was exceedingly precious since it was the life force of a plane! The amount was minute, albeit the quality high. Tang Wulin clearly felt his Life-rank elevating rapidly. On the other hand, his soul power was elevating slowly but the elevation was continuous, determined, and strong.
Tang Wulin was already a rank-98 Hyper Douluo. While the elevation of rank-98 to rank-99 was the quickest for a Limit Douluo, it was also the most difficult to break through.
The elevation of each rank beginning from the Hyper Douluo rank usually involved a sublimation. Hence, each elevation for a Hyper Douluo would result in a different Life-rank. The breakthrough of rank-98 to rank-99 resulted in qualitative leaps. It was a process of separating oneself from one’s mortal body.
In ancient times, the realm of a Limit Douluo was meant to prepare for the final stage of breakthrough to Godhood. One could become a God! Just imagine how important this rank is.
Nonetheless, the process of completing the qualitative change from a Title Douluo to a Limit Douluo was exceedingly tough.
It was very difficult for a soul master to elevate his soul power after cultivating to rank-98. He needed to comprehend heaven and earth in order to sublimate and metamorphose himself. It was an arduous evolution.
The elevation was divine and affected each person differently. As a result, no one could guide another soul master through the process.
Comprehension and natural endowment were equally important. At times, one could achieve breakthrough with a certain amount of luck.
All Limit Douluos would spend an exceedingly long time in taking the final step.
On the other hand, the situation which was taking place in Tang Wulin’s body was truly different from the other Limit Douluos. He was already in the metamorphosis and sublimation process. It might be a slow process, but it was completely different from the cultivation of an ordinary rank-98 Hyper Douluo.
In other words, he was supplying a tremendous amount of life force to the Ancient Life Tree. At the same time, the Ancient Life Tree returned the origin life energy to him so that he could complete the metamorphosis process. With adequate life force, it was not impossible for him to be elevated straight to the Limit Douluo rank. Moreover, it would be a flawless elevation akin to A Ruheng’s Leakproof Golden Body!
Tang Wulin exclaimed to himself in his heart. ‘Could this be the so-called reaping what one has not sown as stated in the legends?’
Yet, the feeling of reaping what one had not sown was so pleasant…
Was he really reaping what he had not sown? No, of course not. In this case, he had put in untold effort. To put it more accurately, his current elevation should be considered a bountiful harvest for him. Naturally, the harvest was not easily acquired since the truly powerful abyssal creatures and the Holy Spirit Cult’s powerhouses had yet to arrive!
The sharp howling noises that came from afar grew louder. At last, the medium-rank abyssal creatures began to fall back slowly. They retreated at an extremely slow speed. It was apparent that they were unwilling to abandon the Life Subtree’s aura. On the other hand, the low-rank abyssal creatures continued to charge forward recklessly just to end up as fertilizer for the Life Subtree.
What a waste that the life force brought by these low-rank abyssal creatures was similarly low end. It contained minimal life force. Even if it came in large amounts, its rank was inadequate.
