The first to snap out of it, Chen Xinjie wanted to warn the others, but found he still couldn't make a sound... his throat was being choked by the Abyssal Emperor.
Tang Wulin had no intention of giving up his weapon, fully unleashing the power of the Golden Dragon King's bloodline within him, straining with all his might to retrieve the Sea God's Trident!
But the Abyssal Emperor simply took one step forward, closing in on Tang Wulin...
A single look was all it took for the latter to feel a severe shock, sending him flying backward...
And the Sea God's Trident slipped from his grasp, flying into the hands of the former!
The instant he grasped it, his arm felt the terrifying force of ten thousand eight hundred thousand jin, causing his entire body to tremble involuntarily...
Seizing this chance, Chen Xinjie suddenly exerted his strength and broke free from the grip of the Abyssal Emperor, retreating to Tang Wulin's side!
However, the Abyssal Emperor didn't care about him at all, merely glancing at the Sea God's Trident in his hand...
Then he turned to Tang Wulin with a cold sneer, "This Divine Artifact is quite nice, but you are not worthy of wielding it!"
Without the Divine Artifact, Tang Wulin's expression darkened as he said, "How is that possible! The Abyssal Emperor is not recognized by the Sea God's Trident. Why can he use it?"
Could it be that the Sea God's Trident could actually be used by anyone?
Gasping for breath, Chen Xinjie at his side reminded him, "Wulin, pay attention. The Sea God's Trident has been resisting the Abyssal Emperor the whole time. It's just that his power has already surpassed the Trident's own weight!"
When the Abyssal Emperor's strength exceeded ten thousand eight hundred thousand jin, he naturally could forcefully use the Sea God's Trident!
Tang Wulin clenched his fists, "But... without the Sea God's Trident, we stand no chance!"
After a pause, he added, "And... there's more..."
Chen Xinjie, keeping a watchful eye on the Abyssal Emperor, urged, "And what?"
Tang Wulin pressed his lips together, "And my soul power rank seems to have reached its bottleneck during the previous battle. It's about to break through!"
His soul power rank had been stuck at level ninety-four, and now he had the chance to attain the rank of Hyper Douluo, but it was amidst battle!
Chen Xinjie had considered various possibilities, but never a breakthrough!
Breaking through in the midst of battle was a huge taboo for Soul Masters!
If not handled with care, it could lead to a failed breakthrough, at best causing a fall in soul power rank, at worst, crippling one's ability to cultivate for life!
Immediately, with a grave tone, he said, "Wulin, fall back. I will hold off the Abyssal Emperor!"
Even if it could mean his demise!
But Tang Wulin, the one valued by the Sea God, potentially the only one to counter the Abyssal Emperor, must not suffer any mishap!
However, Tang Wulin decisively refused, asserting firmly, "No, I must retrieve the Sea God's Trident!"
That was the Divine Artifact left by his father; how could he allow the Abyssal Emperor to take it!
Seeing his stubbornness, Chen Xinjie couldn't help but angrily shout, "Don't be foolish. Breaking through in battle is life-threatening! Only by surviving is there a chance to retrieve the Sea God's Trident!"
How could such an outstanding child fail to see the situation clearly at a time like this!
"Lord Chen, no need to say more. I've made up my mind," Tang Wulin said as he stretched out his right hand and with a flash of golden light, grasped the Golden Dragon Spear...
Though breaking through in battle posed difficulties, with the strength of the Golden Dragon King's bloodline, failure was not a certainty!
Seeing this, the Abyssal Emperor revealed a hint of surprise, then sneered, "Interesting. You want to break through in the midst of battle?"
However, the weapon in his hand also seemed extraordinary!
Quite a unique human indeed!
The next second, he again brandished the Sea God's Trident and Heaven Saint Crack Abyss towards Tang Wulin...
The latter, unfazed, met the attack with his Golden Dragon Spear...
"Bang!!"
Facing the attack of two Divine Artifacts, the sense of oppression was terrifying!
Seeing he couldn't hold on, Tang Wulin bellowed "Golden Dragon Roar!"
The deafening roar of a dragon burst forth from his mouth, but it didn't inflict any harm on the Abyssal Emperor!
It didn't even make him pause for half a second!
The Abyssal Emperor watched him, "You are quite good but without your Divine Artifact, you are still just a weak human. Just die quietly!"
"Dream on!!"
Unwilling to accept defeat, Tang Wulin's several Vitality Soul Rings lit up beneath him, and his entire body began a Dragon Transformation. Every part of him except his head was covered with golden Dragon Scales…
Both his strength and defense had received massive boosts!
For a time, he was actually able to hold his ground against his opponent…
The Abyssal Emperor expressed surprise again at this, but then put even more force into his attacks, "You can still block, but... that's all you've got!"
With his strength increased several fold again, Tang Wulin was no match. His whole body was blasted to the ground, creating a crater tens of meters in diameter…
But the next second, he stood up from the crater again, and charged at the Abyssal Emperor with all his might!
His expression twisted as he shouted, "Again!!"
As long as he wasn't dead, there was still hope for victory!!
When the two sides collided once more, there was no doubt that he was blasted to the ground again…
However, after spitting out a mouthful of saliva, he climbed up unsteadily and charged out like a fighting machine…
Only to meet the same result…
After more than a dozen times, even the Abyssal Emperor's expression began to change when he looked at Tang Wulin…
But as an Abyssal Emperor destined to be the strongest, how could he care for the life of the weak!
"Human, no matter how many times you try, it is useless. Weakness is the original sin!"
But what it didn't notice was, as Tang Wulin's injuries grew more severe, the golden light gathering on his body became brighter and brighter…
It seemed as if a power was about to break out of its shell!
Meanwhile, Chen Xinjie, who was standing by watching, suddenly snapped out of it and cleared his thoughts…
"Damn it... What am I thinking, how can I let a child take on this responsibility!"
The Battle God Hall's hall master was still here!
If someone had to die, it should be him first!
...…
Meanwhile, the Shrek students battling the Abyssal Emperors felt the shocking fluctuations from afar…
And couldn't help but grow worried…
Ye Xinglan was the first to speak out, "I wonder how Wulin is doing over there, he and Lord Chen are facing the legendary Abyssal Emperor after all!"
The power exceeding that of an Ultimate Douluo made everyone's backs run cold at the thought!
Xu Xiaoyan also frowned, "Yeah, even Elder Feng and Turbid World Elder, two Hyper Douluos, died at its hands. Wulin is just a Title Douluo…"
Xie Xie, however, gave a thumbs-up, "Everyone relax, Wulin can use the Sea God's Trident, a Divine Artifact. He definitely won't have any problems!"
Knowing that Xie Xie was comforting himself, Yuanen Yehui still echoed, "Yeah, we should believe in Wulin. He has never let us down!"
