Chapter 386: Arrival Of The Law

Tang Wulin stopped glancing at the blade made out of the laws causing it to recede in his arm as a voice rang out.

"Everlasting Abyssal!" Raaul roared.

In that instant, the whole abyssal floor was instantly covered in darkness, no light could be seen except an ivory light that pierced towards Tang Wulin. The ivory light was like a shooting star, blasting towards Tang Wulin.

In response to this attack, Tang Wulin's whole body began to shine.

Immortal Qi inside of his body began shining with divine radiance as Tang Wulin formed a fist with the laws trembling around him. Then his fist struck out, piercing forward towards the ivory light that was close to hitting him.

Simultaneously, planar laws on the floor began interweaving around Tang Wulin fist, forming chains made out of laws. The chains rushed onward with the intent to puncture through the ivory light, sailing through the sky like arrows.

In the next second, the continuous chains made out of laws, and ivory clashed!

But it was only a clash that lasted for a second before the ivory light was pierced through by the countless chains. While the darkness that covered the world was instantly destroyed, shattering into pieces.

Moreover, Tang Wulin had instantly traversed the distance between him and Raaul, lashing out with a foot that gave off a terrifying pressure. Raaul swiftly began stimulating the space elements around to teleport him away, his figure flowing with an ethereal pale light.

Yet Tang Wulin eyes flashed before Raaul felt the space elements freezing, no longer obeying his command. Just as a leg smashed into his stomach, a leg that felt like the planet itself just from the sheer weight and forces it carried.

Blood splashed out as Raaul was blasted away with his whole stomach area being destroyed and turned into a bloody mist. Raaul roared out, his body enveloped in ivory and divine consciousness as he tried stopping the damage from worsening.

While also trying to restore his shattered stomach area.

But how could Tang Wulin allow him to escape so easily?

The space elements around Tang Wulin began obeying his command, swirling around him and fusing with his aura. At that moment, the space element and thin veil began to ripple, forming fire-like energy that sparkled with particles.

With a step, space began to twist before Tang Wulin found himself in front of Raaul who only stared at him in shock.

Raaul swiftly punches out, his fist bursting with ivory energy while speaking up.

"How... How do you have such control over the space elements!"

But Tang Wulin didn't say anything, his hand began to gently rotate, striking the bottom of Raaul fist and thrusting out with a palm. Raaul felt his body becoming weak as if Tang Wulin hit a weak point on his body.

'Royal Bodhisattva Phase One: First Palm!'

The Palm to Raaul turned into a towering planet that was descending on him, it was rippling with the laws and particles of the space elements.

As Tang Wulin's palm smashed into Raaul, the whole sky was lit up! Wisps of space element began scattering from the sky, as a figure was blasted away again.

Raaul was a mess. All of its limbs were twisted and distorted, and its organs were crushed, bone bent. All of this from Tang Wulin's last strike, which held the intent of spatial powers, something that surprised and left him in disbelief.

No one can control space elements like that... Only a God Realm can have it constantly surround them like that.'

This was Raaul thought as it tried to mend his wounds. But for some reason, it noticed that Tang Wulin wasn't given chase, the area around him was warping.

Tang Wulin felt the flows of time around him with time fragments swirling around him but as they touched his skin. They all vanished, nullified by Tang Wulin Slayer Art resistance to all powers, which had adapted to his realm in body cultivation.

Yet that wasn't the end as a portal began to open behind him, wishing to devour him. Inside of the portal was the sight of a long river that seemed to be flowing from one side to the next endlessly.

As Tang Wulin saw this, a tremendous roar sounded out.

The Heaven Saint halberd released a terrifying light as the Sage King's eyes began to flash while he waved his other hand. Tang Wulin felt the changes in the world, like the laws of the plane, were being changed causing him to lose control of the space elements.

Not only that but he felt the laws wrapping around his figure like chains, restraining and stopping him from moving. Moreover, the Sage King hacked down with his halberd, unleashing an expanse of destruction that rushed towards Tang Wulin.

Raaul couldn't fall just yet, they didn't know how but Tang Wulin was too terrifying for only them to contest against. Though it's an offense to their pride, they knew they needed the help of all three to have any chance of winning.

A swirling vortex of temporal energy on his right and an expanse of destruction on his left, yet Tang Wulin remained calm.

A purple light appeared around Tang Wulin; some of the quiet elements began trembling around Tang Wulin. They began crackling with the aura of destruction that caused all creatures to shiver. The purple light began expanding outwards, turning into countless streaks of purple lightning that crashed into the attacks that came from both sides.

The destruction ruthlessly devoured the swirling vortex, shifting it into nothingness. While crashing into the expanse of destruction before absorbing and breaking through it.

Tang Wulin then stomped towards Klun, his fist shining with a brilliant light before he hacked out, unleashing countless chains made out of the laws. While also causing the elements that held the destructive aura to rush onward, turning into streaks of lightning.

"So he can really do it! Control the natural elements in a way that he can utilize that in combat."

The Sage King muttered as he moved to intercept Tang Wulin, right hand holding his halberd, sweeping towards Tang Wulin. He knew Tang Wulin wasn't using it in the way they did, where they had to forcibly control it to manipulate.

No, the way the elements seem to surround and adore Tang Wulin was something out of this world to him. Tang Wulin only countered with a fist, that smashed into the Heaven Saint Cracked halberd.

Their clashes shook the area a bit, both trying to gain dominance against each other! The Sage King was slightly shocked that Tang Wulin fist was able to contend with his Ultra Divine weapon, something that should be impossible.

But Tang Wulin paid no mind to this as he hacked out with his other hand, just as the Onyx Cal came hacking down on him. His hand grasps on to the Onyx Cal, ignoring the malevolent energy that hacked out from it.

His body was easily nullifying the malevolent energy. It is weaker than him when it isn't being wielded by a First Class being.

With a pull, Tang Wulin jerked the Oryx Cal towards him before letting go and grasping the hilt of the sword. Just as it reached close to his neck before pushing to the side, making the sword pierced towards the Sage King.

He ignored the constant battering that his hand was going through, as a response to him holding Oryx Cal without its permission. The Sage King's expression changed when he saw this, forcing him to pull back his halberd to protect him from the sword.

The halberd swept to the side, hitting the sword as it pierced forward, both Ultra Divines weapons clashing for a brief second with their aura. Before the sword moved off course, puncturing the right shoulder of the Sage King, blood splashing out.

But Tang Wulin wasn't done, he already let go of Onyx Cal as it punctured the Sage King's shoulder, his body moving forward. Before his legs landed on the side of the hilt of Onyx Cal before he launched himself forward.

A shockwave rang out as Tang Wulin figure turned into a streak of light, while Onyx Cal jerked to the side. While it was still in the shoulder of the Sage King, causing the sword to cut down from his shoulder, down to his chest area.

The Sage King utilizes most of his power to stop the advancement of the sword from going any farther. But it was then a figure came beside him, grasping the sword and pulling it out of him with black blood following behind.

While this was happening, Tang Wulin reached Klun who already summoned millions and millions of portals around him. Tang Wulin simply smashed his fist forward, as the millions of portals blasted out once again.

In the next instant, they clashed!

Yet, as all of the beams touched Tang Wulin fist, they all began to disperse as they came into contact with the golden light.

"...Immortal Qi!"

Klun's expression darkened as it saw the fist that was veiled in a golden light, blasting through all of its attacks and coming down on it. It knew there was nothing it could do against an attack that contained Immortal Qi.

As all attacks would be nullified or disperse, simply because no mortal attack and energy can hold a candle to Immortal Qi. Tang Wulin fist continued, smashing into Klun who summoned more portals to protect, which didn't help at all.

Klun flew back, with its whole body gaining cracks, while immortal qi began running amok inside of it.

The Sage King and Raaul came slaughtering forward, clashing with Tang Wulin. The Sage King halberd hacked out while Raaul sword swept forward as it appeared behind Tang Wulin.

Both of them attacked simultaneously. But Tang Wulin swiftly countered as he struck out with his fist, clashing with both weapons. His fist and the two Ultra Divine weapons began fighting for dominance, his fist forcibly forcing them back.

Klun also rapidly recovered before rushing towards Tang Wulin, striking out with his fist, aiming for Tang Wulin back. But Klun fist only made contact with a wing that appeared behind Tang Wulin, eighth beautiful wings spread out.

'These wings... They feel like Semi-Ultra Divine weapons?'

Tang Wulin soul bones had also gone through evolution from the realm in a body. Since they were all connected and attached to his body, they also underwent these changes. With Tang Wulin's body reaching a Semi-Divine realm level, so did his Soul Bones, who evolved into Semi-Divine Weapons.

Weapons that equal the First-Class God's strength. All six wings began to hack out towards Klun, clashing with its fist while trying to chop it into pieces.

In the next instant, they all began to clash with each other, shaking the whole floor. Their figures continued moving across the whole isolated space they were in.

They all exchanged thousands of moves!

Fist clashing with a halberd, leg clashing with a sword, wings with time fragments, destruction against destruction, ivory light against the golden light.

As this was going on, Yggdrasil had found Tao Tie who was almost cut off, bleeding out. She swiftly began wrapping vines around Tao Tie while healing her, Bahamut, and Sleipnir trailing behind her while witnessing the fight.

"Amazing, he is clashing with all three of them, and they're the ones being pushed back."

Sleipnir spoke out, watching Tang Wulin smacking away the halberd before lashing out with a kick that struck the Sage King. While his wings blocked the Onyx Sword and Klun fists that tried to take advantage.

"This shouldn't be a surprise before they are able to easily dominate Tang Wulin, since the gap was way too huge. But now that they're on a similar level? Now that the only difference would be abilities and skills... there has yet to be someone who can beat him in those categories."

Bahamut replied to Sleipnir's words, recalling how Tang Wulin easily toyed with him and the other four dragons in their battle. They all had similar strength, but the key difference was simply abilities, an area that Tang Wulin reigned supreme in.

Tang Wulin tilted his head just as the Onyx Sword pierced forward, missing him by an inch while he slammed his fist into Raaul. Bahamut knew Tang Wulin didn't need to evade any of these attacks but Tang Wulin's body was moving on its own.

Elbow smashed down, diverting fist away from Tang Wulin's body while his wings hacked out, smashing into the halberd and sword. But shattering into pieces, being unable to contend with their superior level.

Bahamut knew Tang Wulin instincts will force his body to minimize all damage or abilities done to him, for his safety. Tang Wulin didn't seem to care about his shattered wings, the pieces glowing before they pierced towards the Sage King and Raaul.

They were forced to defend themselves, feeling a terrifying power from these shards that clashed into them and pushed them back a bit.

Just as another set of wings bloomed from Tang Wulin back, giving off a shimmering light. Although it did drain a lot out of Tang Wulin, having to remake these wings on the First Class God level.

"I feel like something off, though..."

Yggdrasil muttered as she glanced up at the fight while continuing healing Tao Tie who couldn't say anything at the moment.

"Me as well..." Zeref's voice rang out as he appeared next to them with a frown and his arms folded.

"From the way, he fights right?" Yggdrasil questioned causing Zeref to nod his head.

"That and the feeling around him... I don't think he regained his original personality, no it feels like he may have changed or possibly discarded it."

Sleipnir and Bahamut's expressions changed when they heard Zeref's words while giving him warily looks, hoping he was joking.

He wasn't when he spoke up again.

"The way he is fighting now, it's more calculating, calm, and apathetic as if he feels no thrill from the battle... Does that describe Wulin at all?"

"No. Even when he was dominating me and the other four dragons, I could feel the bloodlust and excitement he was exuding. Comparing that to now, I feel none of that from him... All I feel from him is utter tranquility."

Bahamut spoke up with a strange expression, wondering if Zeref's words were true.

"Another proof of this is from him being able to use the Royal Bodhisattva, which requires complete and utter calm. It would be impossible to do for Tang Wulin before, as he is constantly releasing bloodlust and getting excited in a fight."

Sleipnir frowned even more as Zeref was right, she did notice Wulin using the Royal Bodhisattva. And she was there when they made the technique and when Tang Wulin failed to use it because of his battle lust.

"Okay, so say your right... This doesn't mean his original personality is gone, maybe it changed from filtering all those memories?"

Tao Tie spoke up, finally gaining enough energy to join in the conversation.

"Maybe... Yggdrasil, can you tell us what happened when you commence memory recovery. Did Tang Wulin do anything strange?"

Yggdrasil could only sigh to herself when she saw everyone turning their gaze on her. She wanted to keep this a secret a bit longer, at the very least until she could go back into Tang Wulin and check everything out.

But she knew they wouldn't take no for an answer and they also deserved knowing what really happened.

"Everything was going fine at first, with the Semi-Divine realm and my help. We were able to plant the memories into his body. Finding his original memories weren't too bad, since I was able to stop all of the memories from coming towards him, all at once. But then Wulin said some words that may have led to his present situation."

"The human said some words? What the hell could he have said?"

"Come... I will only take the memory that can persevere through it all and subjugate the rest. If you wish for me to accept you, subjugate all of the other endless memories under your command. I will only take the one who does this as my original."

Yggdrasil released a sigh when she saw everyone go silent, some of them displaying shock and disbelief.

"Before I could talk him out of it, I was forced out. At the moment, I'm not sure what is going onside of his body. Maybe the battle is still going on or it may have already ended."

"..."

"Is he crazy? Nevermind, he really is crazy! What kind of crazy bastard does some shit like that!"

"Maybe his soul and body were confident in the original Tang Wulin?"

"Confidence? What confidence! He was competing against other memories, some that are far older than his and some that came from a different time!"

"No, this sounds like something Wulin would do or well what his Will would do. It seemed it only wanted the best memory and nothing else."

"So do you think it was a mistake to leave it up to his body and soul?"

"Maybe? Honestly, both had their drawbacks regardless of what we did."

Zeref released a sigh, both frustrated and annoyed by this. He glances up towards the battle, to see Tang Wulin side-stepping and attack, calm as ever.

"Do you think he did this because he wanted to hurry up? Or maybe because he sensed something dangerous?"

"Like what? Those First Class Beings?"

Tao Tie questioned out loud but it was then a voice rang out behind them.

"Wait, they're all first-class beings?"

They all turned around to see the humans approaching them, Qiangu Dongfeng at the front.

"Yes, the Sage King and those other two are beings with First Class God strength."

Yggdrasil replied to Qiangu Dongfeng who was the one who asked the question since Sleipnir was busy gazing at Tang Wulin. While Bahamut only scoffed at them before refocusing on the fight, leaving the humans at a loss.

"Well... I guess he is a God now? Although he seems a bit different."

Cao Dezhi questioned with his lips twitching, as he looked up towards the earth-shattering battle.

"More like he has the strength of a God now."

"Huh? Is there a difference between having the strength and being one?"

"There is, you see..."

As Yggdrasil was explaining the concept of a True God to the soul masters, Yun Ming was listening and also paying attention to the fight.

A hint of worry could be seen in his eyes, as he saw Tang Wulin clashing with three First-Class level beings. He couldn't put his finger on it but felt like the Wulin that was fighting above him was different from the one he knew before.

'Why isn't finishing it already? I don't recall him ever wasting time like this... It's almost like he is waiting for something.'

Back and forth, they went before they all unleashed another terrifying strike that seemed to have split the sky.

In the next second, three figures flew back, two of them spitting out blood and the other gaining even more cracks on their body.

Tang Wulin himself had some wounds on him, only for a second before they all instantly healed in the next instant. His calm and serene gaze moved over the three beings who had first-class strength, while he flexed his hand.

The Sage King was gritting his teeth, glaring at Tang Wulin while he felt his wounds healing as he took more essence from the abyssal realm. Raaul was stripping his men, down below, and having them heal his wound.

While the time fragment washed over Klun, reversing all of the damage that was done. All of this was done in front of Tang Wulin who did nothing to stop it.

Naturally, this made them worried, wondering what he was up to but deciding to wait and see while trying to find an opening.

But it was then that Tang Wulin began to look up to the sky, a faint smile appearing on his face. It was a smile that one would only give to someone they haven't seen in a long time.

"It's here now."

Dong!

A clap of thunder sounded, shaking up the Abyssal Realm, an expanse of nine-colors blew away the dark purple clouds after shattering the space above.

Every single creature looked up to the sky, confused about what was going on. They knew it that thunder didn't come from the four god class being above them, as they haven't launched an attack yet.

The nine-colored expanse continued to move through the sky before forming into something that left, everyone confused.

These were massive clouds, vast and boundless, stretching across the whole sky with a gigantic gate. The gate was beautiful and divine, something that a God Realm could contain, as it hovered above everything.

'The Universe Law... Been a long time.'
