Chapter 228: Sage King Thougths
Shock!
All of the Abyssal King was shocked at the words of the Sage King.
The Abyssal Plane might be devoured or destroy?
Impossible! They all refuse to believe such a thing and it showed on their faces even though they were in front of the Sage King.
"Don't worry about it." Said the Sage King with a sigh as he notes their expressions.
He wasn't surprised they wouldn't be able to understand. As maybe only those who have to reach his cultivation could truly understand and feel this hidden sense of ambiguity through the universe.
Sometimes he found his existence both a blessing and a curse. With his power, it wasn't mistaken to say he could reach the strength of a God-King.
But the problem was, that he was the embodiment of the abyssal plane. Everything in this plane was apart of him, giving him the power to both dominate and destroy everything.
It was no wonder that all of the abyssal creatures revered him as a God, as it wasn't just because they all came from him.
But this state wasn't ideal for a person who wanted to become a God. Since he was the embodiment of the plane, he could never become a True God.
Unless he evolved the Abyssal Plane into a divine realm. Meaning he would have to devour and invade other planes to help push his realm beyond a normal God realm.
As neither, he or the abyssal creatures could increase power while in this state. That was the plan thousands of years ago.
As it was only six thousand years ago that he found a world filled with life force. It became even better after he found out that the divine realm wasn't around.
Meaning no one would have been able to stop his rampage through the planes.
'But now.' Thought the Sage King with his expression turning grim.
If he truly went true with his plan, then there may be a chance of him being annihilated. But if he doesn't he may be devoured.
"My Lord, do you know how that human and beast could have become a god?" Questioned one of the Abyssal King.
"The beasts, I have no idea. As not only can the plane not support multiple gods but beasts can't become a God." Said the Sage King with his eyes slightly narrow.
"As for the human. He wasn't a god; what he did was use the power of the plane to empower himself but even with that, he didn't become a god."Said the Sage King causing the abyssal kings to blink their kings.
"So how was he able to beat you back?"
It wasn't just the Abyssal Kings who were confused but even the Sage King.
'Is it truly possible for one to increase there strength so much?' Thought the Sage King in contemplation.
The Sage King was very powerful, in his realm. He was no weaker than the Gods themselves. Even with the pressure of the plane, he should still be above all other beings on the Douluo Plane unless they were a god.
'But that human display prowess, comparable to that of a God.' Thought the Sage King in slight awe and shock.
He knows just how big the difference was between a God, and a Limit Douluo was. This wasn't something that even the plane energy could help one cross.
Even if one was cherished and doted on by the plane. It still wouldn't be possible for the elevation to be so high, especially when Tang Wulin was only a Soul Sage.
'Unless he has some type of secret in his body.' Thought the Sage King as he slightly narrowed his eyes in thought.
'It seems I may have to become an observer for now.' Thought the Sage King as he tapped his throne.
'Or maybe that could work.'

"And that's the last one." Said Zeref as he watched Tang Wulin golden dragon spear pierced into the screeching abyssal creature.
Tang Wulin didn't respond to Zeref as he let out a sigh before getting into a lotus position. He instantly started directing the abyssal essence that he absorbed from the abyssal creatures and the Sage King to his soul spirits.
He knew he couldn't stall any longer, as he could feel his body practically breaking apart from just holding in it all.
This wasn't because of the abyssal creatures he absorbed just now but the energy he absorbed from the Sage King. He didn't know how but just from his stabbing his spear into the Sage King arm, he felt like he was absorbing the entire world.
'Is this really how much energy, a god, have?' Thought Tang Wulin in a bit of shock as the best estimate he had before was from Fafnir's soul.
With just him eating Fafnir soul, his Magic God Slayer art elevated to the Soul Douluo level. This may not look like a lot from one absorbing the soul of a God, but that was far from the truth.
As he went from the God Slayer equivalent of a Soul Grandmaster to a Spirit Douluo. That was essentially over six realms that were skipped.
Now with the combined might of the abyssal creature and Sage King energy, he could feel his Soul Spirits cultivation increasing.
Leviathan and Tao Tie were devouring the abyssal energy like there was no tomorrow, rapidly raising their cultivation. While the abyssal energy was nurturing the spirit ring of his Sarial and Kirin as he felt their age increase.
As his soul spirits cultivation was increasing, Tang Wulin was feeling his own body getting stronger by the minute.
As it was commonly known, the higher grade or cultivation your soul rings were. The stronger it will make your body, soul, and spiritual power become.
It was why, having a whole set of black and red rings was ideal if you wanted to stand on the peak. As the amplification they gave you was something that couldn't be compared to rings that were weaker than them.
This was why most soul masters weren't equal even in the same realm and stage. As their ring set up and the age of the ring was an important factor besides their skill level.
This was also why Tang Wulin's body was so heavenly defying. Not only did his Slayer Art and Golden Dragon King enhance his body but his ring setup also played a crucial role.
One must remember, Tang Wulin had three rings that were one million rings. This was something that has never happened in the past, to any other Soul Master.
As Tang Wulin was directing the energy, Zeref was surveying the area around while going over the battle from before.
'The gap is narrowing.' Thought Zeref as he compared Tang Wulin battle between Fafnir and Surtr.
In the first one, Tang Wulin had to take many risks, while also getting smack around when Fafnir started to use his divine power.
While they expected this, it was far worse than they thought.
Especially when Tang Wulin had to risk a suicide attack with Fafnir. While with Surtr, he was able to fight him relatively well, albeit he was still pushed back but at least he was able to keep up better.
To the point where he was able to kill off Surtr, with a plan that didn't involve him bating a full suicide attack.
Still, Zeref was a bit surprised by the way he used his levitation to fight with his three spears.
'Could this be the type of combat style he will be moving towards in the future?' Thought Zeref.
With the ability of his three spears, Tang Wulin could easily overpower his opponent. Then smash them apart with his own tyrannical body.
As Zeref was thinking this, the footsteps of the Blood Gods and Zhang Huanyan were heard as they finally reached Tang Wulin.
"He seems to be cultivating right now. I guess he couldn't wait, as the energy may have been too much."Said Cao Dezhi as he narrowed his eyes causing the others to nod their heads.
"For a little while, we will guard him. As there are Evil Soul Masters still around."Said Yun Ming causing everyone to nod their heads before moving out.
In a few seconds, hundreds of Blood Battalion soldiers were formed all around Tang Wulin as they kept an eye out for any enemy.
They all kept having a stoic look on their face as the bloody rain came to an end, with snow starting to fall once more.
If anyone else was to see this scene, they would be shocked. At the sight of countless soldiers, standing around one person in an area filled with bloody snow.
As the snow began drifting across the area, more fell in around them and slightly covered them.
Yet none of the soldiers minded this, as they all felt that Tang Wulin deserve at least this much. As this was going on, Yun Ming, Cao Dezhi, and Zhang Huanyun were talking.
"Now that Surtr is dead, there is only one more Calamity that is left." Said Zhang Huanyun causing both of the men to nod their heads.
"Have you found it yet?" Questioned Cao Dezhi but Yun Ming shook his head.
"We haven't found him at all. It's as if the Calamity had simply vanished from the world."Said Yun Ming causing Cao Dezhi and Zhang Huanyun's expressions to turn grim.
This was by no mean a good thing, as this meant the last calamity had become a hidden bomb in the Douluo plane.
Just how terrifying was this? This meant Jormungandr was no different than a predatory in dark, stalking its prey.
As it could attack and disappear anytime, it wants.
"Do you think it's staying undersea?" Questioned Cao Dezhi after a bit of thinking.
"We think that's the likely bet. But you all know how dangerous undersea is."Said Yun Ming causing all of them to nod their heads.
The undersea world is no different than a new plane for every soul master who wasn't attuned to the water element.
It's not wrong to say, that they would be no different than a fish on land if they ventured into the world underneath. And that was just ignoring the spirit beast that lived and roams underneath.
As down below, the Sea Beast had its own top ten ferocious beasts, similar to the ones in Star Dou forest.
Unlike the ones in Star Dou Forest, these beasts have never been disturbed in the past thousands of years. Meaning, that their strength may still be at the pinnacle or even beyond that.
"It seems he is done." Said Cao Dezhi as he moved towards Tang Wulin, with Yun Ming and Zhang Huanyun following behind.
"You finished absorbing the energy?" Questioned Yue Zhengyu but Tang Wulin only shook his head.
"I only had time to absorb some of it. I need more time to absorb the rest."Said Tang Wulin casing Yue Zhengyu to nod his head.
"Anyway, what's up with them." Said Tang Wulin as he glances at all of the soldiers who were saluting him, with reverence.
"Short answer? You just became a god in their eyes."
