Chapter 90: Sage
"Wulin, Daddy his proud of how strong you have become and how big you have gotten. Although it surprised me that you were able to awaken both the Sea God and the Asura God bloodline so fast. But at least this lessens daddy worries for you, especially after looking through Old Tang memories and seeing most of your fights." Said Tang San.
As he was talking with his dear son, he was going through Old Tang memories and to say he wasn't shocked at what he saw would be a lie. Whether it be from his son progress in unlocking the seals to the companions he has made and to the progression of the world.
Yet above all of that, he was delighted that his son had friends and family that he can rely on.
"I promise Wulin. All of us will be reunited with each other."

Tang Wulin blinks his eyes and saw he was back at the top of Yggdrasil. He glances at Zeref and Sleipnir who were giving him questioning glances.
"Wulin..." Old Tang voice rang out.
'Later.' Thought Tang Wulin as he shifted his head to the tower.
Shaking his head, he began moving towards the tower without bothering to give them a response.
Sleipnir and Zeref both glances at each other and went to follow behind Tang Wulin. As Tang Wulin went into the tower, he gathered all of his strength and with one mighty leap, launched himself all the way to the top.
As he finally reached the top, he found an entrance in front of him and went through it. After walking through the entrance, he found himself in a large room.
"So you have finally arrived here." A voice rang out.
Tang Wulin turned his head and saw a person sitting on a golden throne, that was in the middle of the room they were in.
The man had long snow-white hair with red ash skin and tribal markings around his face. He had two red eyes with a purple one on top of his forehead.
"You are?" Questioned Tang Wulin.
"I'm the overseer of the World Tree who is called Sage." Said Sage as he stared at Tang Wulin.
'Sleipnir?' Thought Tang Wulin.
"I don't know if what he said is true." Said Sleipnir as she started paying attention to Sage.
'Well, do you know where the Road of Time is?' Thought Tang Wulin.
"It's over there, behind his throne." Said Sleipnir causing Tang Wulin to send a glance to the room behind the golden throne.
Tang Wulin furrowed his brows but nonetheless began moving toward the room behind the mighty throne and also making sure to keep an eye on Sage.
"I see, you came to use the Road Of Time." Said Sage as he turned his head toward Tang Wulin. Then with a twitch of his hand, a red portal appeared in front of Tang Wulin.
Tang Wulin was able to summon his Golden Dragon Spear just in time before a broad red blade came crashing towards him out of the portal.
Bang!
Tang Wulin was able to stop the broad red blade but before he could do anything else, the polished blade disappeared and then in front of him was Sage.
"Impressive." Said Sage.
Tang Wulin said nothing as he started getting ready to combat the man in front of him.
"Tell me something? Do you know what exactly Yggdrasil is?" Questioned Sage.
Yet Tang Wulin utter nothing back as he really didn't care to know. He dashed toward Sage who only narrowed his eyes and snaps his fingers.
A hundred large blades came out of the portals that appeared in front of Sage and was coming toward to Tang Wulin. Tang Wulin instantly summoned his Blue Silver Genesis and then began to fuse his bloodline into the vines.
As the blades came close to him, he willed the vines to go and capture the blades that were coming toward him. While also utilizing his Magic Dragon Chain that erupted from the earth to carefully wrap around the polished blades.
Sage expression didn't change one bit as even more large blades were summoned from behind him.
"Yggdrasil isn't just a gateway through time and dimensions." Said Sage as he watches Tang Wulin stomp down on the floor.
Multiple Dragons shot up from the ground to intercept the blades and exploding upon contact. Tang Wulin figure then turned into a Gold and Black Dragon that sped through the other blades that tried to hit him.
"Yggdrasil is also a seal." Said Sage while Tang Wulin was closing in on him.
Tang Wulin eyes widen when he saw a silver giant that was wielding a massive red blade in each of his ten arms. Similar to Sage, the giant, had a tribal marking on its face with four eyes that were shining.
"Come my Avatar." Said Sage.
He swung his arm down causing Tang Wulin eyes to widen as he saw the speed of the swords coming at him.
He quickly willed the vines to make an effective barrier around him just in time as the massive blade came into contact. Sage watches as the blades easily cut through the vines around Tang Wulin but then he saw a gold and black dragon coming towards him.
"This is a seal for a being so terrible, that if he was to be released. The universe would come to an end."
The Avatar behind him moved its sword to intercept them but then he saw the dragons split into multiple copies of themselves. He had to utilize all of his swords to intercept the oncoming dragons.
"It's for this reason that Yggdrasil has been siphoning and hoarding all of the energy from countless worlds." Said Sage as he saw the dragons making contact with the massive blades.
Bang!
Subsequently Sage thrust his hand out causing the Avatar behind him to spew out brilliantly red flames that constructed a wall around him. Yet that did nothing to deter Tang Wulin who was rushing toward Sage after using his spear as a distraction.
'So that's why there wasn't any spirit energy anywhere else but here.' Thought Tang Wulin as he got closer to the flames.
He stretches out his hand, causing the Golden Dragon Spear to appear back in his hand. Then he threw it with all of his might, after coating it with his Dragonslayer energy. Tang Wulin then thrust his arm up and his other one forward.
'Magic Dragon Lanza.'
'Magic Dragon Eruption.'
'Magic Dragon Flare.'
Sage saw the streak of black-blue coming towards him and the countless balls of light heading his way. Before he could make a move, he glances downwards as he could feel a build-up of energy under him and instantly moved from the spot he was in.
Sage watches as energy erupted up from where he was before but then he shifted his head to see continuous chains coming out of the ground towards him.
'I see.' Thought Sage as rotated his arms which summoned multiple portals around him.
Out of those portals were massive blades that went to intercept of all of Tang Wulin attacks. Tang Wulin expression didn't change as a jeweled crown and a multi-colored ring appeared on him.
"Ok then, so I won't open the seal. Just let me use the road of time." Said Tang Wulin as his ring and the gems on his head began to shine dazzlingly.
'Red Gem, Blue Gem, Green Gem, Orange Gem, Purple Gem, and Pink Gem Amplification.'
'Child of Life.'
'Gem Amplification.'
Tang Wulin could feel himself getting stronger and then he slams down his foot causing vines to erupt out from the ground towards Sage. Then a purple ring appeared behind him and began to shine.
'Devour.'
Sage could feel his vitality and spirit power being a drain. He instantly created portals around Tang Wulin to unleash his massive blades and then use his Avatar flames to burn away the vines that were approaching him.
"Even if you came here just to use the Road Of Time, I can't let you do that. The damage you and Nidhogg caused to Yggdrasil as weaken it drastically. Meaning any more use of its power will weaken the seal even further or worse, break it."
"The entity we sealed in here is something that should not be released. It took over a thousand god realms working together with Yggdrasil to be able to seal this being." Said Sage as he claps both of his hands together to create a huge portal above Tang Wulin.
Tang Wulin didn't look up as he maintained his eyes on Sage even as the Avatar with ten arms were coming down upon him.
"Don't worry about it, If that entity breaks free. Then I will just destroy it." Said Tang Wulin as he stomps down on the ground producing a translucent forcefield around the room.
'Golden Dragon Raging Domain.'
'Apocalypse King Dragon Tyrant Body Emission.'
Tang Wulin could feel his strength increasing and then he dashed toward Sage, disregarding the fact that the Avatar was coming down on him.
"Destroy it? Don't make me laugh. Just to seal it caused the death and destruction of all of those god realms. Yet your thinking about trying to destroy that same being?" Sage snorted at Tang Wulin answer.
The Avatar narrowed its eyes and swung its massive blade to the side. Tang Wulin didn't panic as he twists his body to bring his spear in front of him.
Bang!
Tang Wulin felt the force of all ten swords with his Golden Dragon Spear and allowed himself to be launch forward. He could feel that his body was greedily absorbing the force of the Avatar attack and then with proper timing. He was able to get his body to fly toward Sage.
'He was after this huh...' Thought Sage with a grimace as he hastily summoned back his Avatar. Yet that did nothing to deter Tang Wulin as a black soul ring appeared behind him and began to shine.
'Fourth Soul Ring: Godspeed.'
Tang Wulin body was coated with electricity causing his long hair to spike up and blue sparks to crackle around him. He then planted his foot on the ground and with all of his might he pushes off causing the ground beneath him to rapture.
'Apocalypse King Dragon Soars.'
Sage saw the figure of Tang Wulin became a blur to him but that didn't stop him from opening countless portals in front of him. Countless massives blades rush out of the portal towards Tang Wulin who was still charging forward.
'Mountain Dragon King: Weight.'
'Gravity Control.'
Tang Wulin could feel his Golden Dragon Spear with the boost of his soul bone and gravity control getting fifteen times heavier.
'Apocalypse King Dragon Ascends the Heavens'
He then thrust his spear that was coated in all types of aura toward the incoming blades.
Bang!
'Golden Dragon Earthquake wave.'
For the first time, since their encounter Sage expression finally changed. As he saw the human in front of him smashing and blowing apart the countless amount of blades he summoned. Yet Tang Wulin momentum didn't falter as he plowed through the blades and headed towards Sage Avatar which was in front of him.
He tried to will his Avatar to move, but it was too late as Tang Wulin already made contact with it. Forcing Sage to watch as his Avatar was blown away and destroyed in front of him but Tang Wulin was not done.
With exceptional dexterity, he twisted his body and kicks the bottom end of the shaft towards Sage. Sage narrowed his eyes as he quickly moved his hand to summon his massive blades to defend him.
Tang Wulin watches as ten blades appeared out of nowhere to repel his attack but as the blades made contact with his spear.
Tang Wulin sprouted a smirk on his face.
Swoosh!
Sages eyes widen as he saw blood coming from his body. He slowly looks down to see a deep wound on his chest.
'Jade-Eye Dragon King: Space-Time Slash!'
Yet even after he saw his attack made contact, that didn't stop Tang Wulin from not continuing his barrages of attack.
'Magic Dragon Eruption.'
From below the wounded Sage, energy started to form but unlike the one before, this one was vastly bigger and stronger.
BANG!
Tang Wulin watches as Sage's body became engulfed in energy and he then outstretches his arm to summon his Golden Dragon Spear. He then channels his Annihilation into his spear and then hurled it towards Sage body, that was still being engulfed by the energy.
Tang Wulin watches as the golden spear that had red energy crackle around it was rushing toward Sage but then.
A blue light appeared in the middle of the black-blue energy and as the spear got close to the blue light, it caused it to stop in mid-air. Then both the Golden Dragon Spear and the black-blue energy were blasted away.
Tang Wulin maintained his eyes on Sage or more specifically what was in front of Sage. It was similar to a trident with a blue shaft and a golden end. The trident ends had a thin crescent shape on both the left and right side. While the middle prong was sharp and straight.
"To think, you would force me to use this weapon." Sage mutter as he looks at the trident in front of him.
"Let me ask you something. Will you still try and fight me even if it means the evil that is sealed inside will be awakened? Even if that evil would destroy the lives of many people in the future? Even if it means the consequences are the suffering of others?" Questioned Sage as he gazes at Tang Wulin.
"I have long since accepted the fact that my actions will cause the suffering of others." Said Tang Wulin as he stretches out his hand and resummoned his golden spear.
Sage sighed as he began to think about all the trouble him and everyone went through to this seal intact. The sacrifice they had to make but nonetheless narrowed his eyes at Tang Wulin.
"I wonder if I didn't give most of my body and energy to seal. Would you have forced me this far." Sage mumble as he slowly began to move his hand toward the trident in front of him.
"I will fulfill my duty as the last guardian of the tree of Yggdrasil and the seal. Even if it means sacrificing my whole existence." Said Sage as he grabs on to the trident.
Blue energy burst from the trident and Sage after they came in contact with each other. Unbeknownst to Tang Wulin, the sky above the World Tree was turning into a storm with streaks of lightning crackling.
"The end is near. Whether my body gives out and die by this weapon or I kill you first."
"This weapon has the power to destroy and re-create the world a thousand times over. It's a weapon that surpasses all other weapons, the Trident of Destruction, Balance, and Creation." Sage's voice rang out from the blue energy exploding out.
Tang Wulin blinks his eyes as he saw Sage was shirtless with blue energy crackling around his body and his eyes gleaming with a deep blue light.
"Come!"
"Trishula!"
