Fang Yang walked out of the Spirit Pagoda and spotted Tang Wulin, whose emotions had collapsed, not far away.
He hurried over and asked with concern, "Wulin, how are you? Are you okay?"
Tang Wulin's eyes were red. He looked at the Soul Spirit Crystal Ball in his hand, then at his callused palms.
His voice choked slightly. "Fang Yang, my Soul Spirit is defective..."
The moment the words left his mouth, he could no longer hold back his tears. They poured from his eyes.
Fang Yang silently listened to Tang Wulin's outpouring:
"When my Martial Soul awakened and I learned it was the useless Martial Soul, Blue Silver Grass, I didn't cry. After all, I had innate Soul Power, so I still had a chance."
"When my family was poor and had no money to buy a Soul Spirit, I didn't cry either. After all, I could earn money myself."
"The first time I swung a hammer a thousand times at Mang Tian Studio and passed the test, I saw hope. With hope, there was a chance of success."
"Every day, I faced everything with a smile. Every day, I told my parents that it was all easy."
"Three years... three whole years of effort..." Tang Wulin suddenly choked up, unable to continue.
He had painstakingly cultivated his Soul Power to rank ten and saved enough money to buy a Soul Spirit. Success had been right within reach.
That was Thirty Thousand! Those Thirty Thousand had embodied countless drops of his sweat, only to become the Grass Snake Soul Spirit before him, without even the slightest trace of Soul Beast genes.
His resilience, strength, and determination all shattered in that instant, turning into a torrent of tears.
Then, Tang Wulin heard Fang Yang's voice by his ear. "Wulin, go to sleep. The road ahead will be wonderful."
As soon as he finished speaking, Fang Yang delivered a precise chop to the back of Tang Wulin's neck.
Tang Wulin's body swiftly fell forward. Tears slipped from the corners of his eyes as he fainted, his consciousness sinking into sleep.
Fang Yang caught the falling Tang Wulin. With a thought, the Heavenly Flame Bead inside his body blossomed with fiery light.
Ripples spread through space, and Tang Wulin's figure instantly vanished from where he stood, drawn into the Heavenly Flame Bead's internal space.
Then Fang Yang's figure slowly appeared in the familiar Heavenly Flame Plaza.
Twenty-Three Heaven-Reaching Giant Pillars stood majestically, each entwined with flames of a different color and emanating energy fluctuations that made one's heart tremble.
Tang Wulin lay quietly on the Heavenly Flame Plaza.
Looking at the unconscious Tang Wulin, Fang Yang said softly, "Tang Wulin, don't blame me."
"Heaven Sealing Divine Prohibition, activate!"
With a low shout from him, the entire Heavenly Flame Plaza suddenly shook violently.
Centered on Tang Wulin, a massive golden formation emerged from the ground, countless Mysterious Runes circulating within it.
Unlike before, the formation did not radiate sealing power this time, but a terrifying power of refinement.
"Heavenly Flames, Profound Yellow Flame, return to your place!"
At Fang Yang's command, the Profound Yellow Flame within his body Whistled Out and returned to its corresponding Heaven-Reaching Giant Pillar.
In an instant, the Heavenly Flames atop all Twenty-Three Heaven-Reaching Giant Pillars erupted at once, transforming into twenty-three pillars of fire that shot into the sky and converged into a massive fiery vortex overhead.
Boom!
At the center of the vortex, terrifying energy transformed into a Light Pillar and shot downward, completely enveloping Tang Wulin.
Fang Yang muttered, "The extraction has begun."
There were eighteen seals on the Golden Dragon King Bloodline inside Tang Wulin's body. Besides that, there was also a strand of Sea God Tang San's Divine Sense within him.
He could not be confronted head-on, only outwitted!
This was inside the Heavenly Flame Bead. Even a dragon had to coil here, and a tiger had to lie low.
"Ahh..."
The unconscious Tang Wulin let out a pained groan.
His face looked awful, his skin gradually reddening as his body temperature rose at an astonishing rate.
Beneath his flushed skin, his Meridians faintly emerged, blood flowing through them.
Golden patterns appeared on his forehead, spreading in a web-like pattern from his head down to his feet. At the same time, his bones began to make faint cracking sounds.
Fang Yang knew very well that the Profound Yellow Flame's power alone could never strip the Golden Dragon King Bloodline from Tang Wulin's body.
Therefore, he drew a wisp of flame from each of the twenty-two types of Heavenly Flames sealed within the Heavenly Flame Bead and fused them into the Heaven Sealing Divine Prohibition formation.
As one of the Dragon God's avatars, the Golden Dragon King wielded Heaven-Devastating Earth-Destroying power and possessed terrifying strength capable of rivaling a God King.
It had not only inherited the Dragon God's indestructible body, but also possessed speed and destructive power beyond all limits.
As long as he could successfully strip out the bloodline transformed from the Golden Dragon King Divine Core, Fang Yang would be able to wield this terrifying power.
As the refinement formation continued to operate, the Golden Dragon King Bloodline within Tang Wulin's body was gradually stripped away.
Just then!
Boom!
A vast divine might suddenly erupted!
Within Tang Wulin's body, a figure dressed in luxurious blue robes abruptly opened his eyes, monstrous fury surging within those abyss-deep pupils.
Tang San's Divine Sense had awakened!
This Divine Sense had originally been left within Tang Wulin's body to suppress the Golden Dragon King Bloodline and guide his son's cultivation. At the same time, it was one of Tang San's Trump Cards for his eventual return to Douluo Continent.
Yet now, this Divine Sense, which should not have awakened so early, had been forcibly roused.
Stormy waves surged in the abyss-deep eyes of Tang San's Divine Sense as he said coldly, "What thief dares steal the Golden Dragon King Bloodline from my son, Tang Wulin? You truly have a death wish!" Tang San's Divine Sense spoke with bone-chilling coldness, Killing Intent blazing.
Fang Yang had expected this. Facing the former Sea God and Asura God, he remained calm, even carrying a hint of mockery. "Tang San, do you have no shame? Since when did the Golden Dragon King Bloodline become yours? Why are you barking? Besides, I'm saving your son."
Worthy indeed of the Ice Pure Jade Tang God King!
"You're courting death! Blue Silver Grass Entanglement." Tang San's Divine Sense flew into a rage from humiliation and waved his hand.
Countless Blue Silver Emperor Vines glowing with Sea God Power tore through the air and lashed toward him!
A trace of disdain flashed through Fang Yang's eyes. "So this is Blue Silver Grass Entanglement? Interesting!"
"Burn!"
Heavenly Flames appeared, and the Blue Silver Emperor Vines, capable of binding and destroying anything below the God-tier, were reduced to ashes in an instant!
"You... you truly have a death wish!" Tang San's Divine Sense's pupils constricted sharply, his Gloomy Face dark as water.
Fang Yang stood with his Hands Behind His Back, his tone full of mockery. "What? Is this all the Ice Pure Jade Tang God King can do?"
"Brat, you forced my hand. Sea God Trident." Tang San's Divine Sense was so enraged that his face turned red.
The Sea God Trident in his hand flew from his grasp in an instant and was hurled toward Fang Yang.
"Sea God Thirteen Moves—Third Move, Never Return!"
Tang San's Divine Sense roared, opening with this divine technique known as the "strongest" single-target killing move in the God Realm.
Facing this certain-kill strike, Fang Yang merely raised his hand casually. "Refine."
The attack, capable of piercing even a God King's defenses, was refined the instant it touched the Heavenly Flames.
"How is this possible?" Tang San's Divine Sense stared in stunned disbelief.
Fang Yang sneered. "Tang San, it's already over. What did you think I was waiting for?"
"You... were stalling for time?!" Tang San's Divine Sense finally realized something, and his expression changed drastically.
Facing the Ice Pure Jade, upright, honorable, and teacher-respecting God King Tang, who was both a generation's Asura and Sea God!
Fang Yang said no more. Borrowing the formation's power, he raised his hand.
The Heavenly Flames transformed into a gigantic fiery hand that covered the sky and seized Tang San's Divine Sense in one grasp.
"No... this is impossible!" Tang San's Divine Sense let out an unwilling roar.
"Refine instantly!"
