Seal Unleashed

Yun Chen stood in the Blacksmith's Association lounge, his Soul Guidance Communication still connected to Xu Xiaoyan.

"Pitter-patter~"

Raindrops the size of beans battered the window, producing an unbroken clatter. Yet even that could not drown out Xu Xiaoyan's excited voice over the call.

"This rain is so, so heavy! It's my first time seeing rain this heavy!"

"This is the biggest typhoon Eastsea City has seen in recent years. Of course you've never seen one bigger. There might even be thunder later—don't let it scare you." Yun Chen laughed.

"Hmph, you can't fool me! How could there be thunder during a typhoon..."

"Crack!!!"

Before Xu Xiaoyan could finish speaking, a deafening thunderclap exploded over Eastsea City!

"Ah!"

Xu Xiaoyan jumped in fright. "What was that? Why is there thunder? There was never any thunder during past typhoons!"

Yun Chen was somewhat bewildered as well. Normally, the chance of a typhoon being accompanied by thunder was very low. He had only wanted to scare Xu Xiaoyan. Besides, that thunderclap just now seemed a little off.

Eastsea City, Mang Tian's workshop.

Tang Wulin, having obtained the spiritual items from the Blacksmith's Association, arrived here and mixed them all together according to Old Tang's instructions.

Looking at the strangely colored substance in the cup, Tang Wulin could not help swallowing. "Old Tang, are you sure I'll be fine if I drink this?"

He had already been badly frightened by the fact that there was both a dragon and a person inside his body. Now he had to drink something this strange. Tang Wulin was truly afraid.

"Don't worry. I won't harm you. It will only hurt a little after you drink it." Tang San's voice rang out in Tang Wulin's mind.

"Fine, I'll trust you, then." Having mentally prepared himself, Tang Wulin picked up the cup before him and gulped down every drop of the liquid.

The moment the liquid entered his mouth, it carried a cool sensation. But once it flowed into his stomach, it became incomparably scorching. The feeling of his organs being burned made Tang Wulin collapse straight to the floor. He curled into himself and wailed in agony.

He had no attention to spare at the moment. Otherwise, he would definitely have cursed Old Tang for being a liar, deceiving a nine-year-old child like him.

But Tang San paid no mind to Tang Wulin's current condition. He was fully focused on guiding the sealed energy within Tang Wulin, guiding the Golden Dragon King Origin to merge with Tang Wulin's bloodline.

Because of this, he did not even notice people approaching from outside. Or rather, even if he had noticed, he had no time to deal with them now.

Outside the workshop, several figures hovered in the air. Standing in the middle was Gu Yue, the human form of one half of the Silver Dragon King.

Her indifferent gaze rested below, as though she could see through the building's walls and observe what was happening inside. Watching Tang Wulin struggle on the ground, a mocking curve lifted at the corner of Gu Yue's lips.

"Di Tian, make your move," Gu Yue ordered coldly.

"Yes, my lord!" Di Tian, utterly obedient to Gu Yue, swung his dragon claw without hesitation, overturning the workshop roof with a single strike. The surrounding area had already been sealed off by them, and with the typhoon as cover, they had no fear of anyone noticing even if they caused a greater disturbance.

But at that moment, a bolt of lightning crashed down directly onto the dragon claw reaching for Tang Wulin, blasting it apart.

"My lord, that is god-level power!?" Di Tian was startled. He had not expected interference from a god-level expert at such a critical moment.

"Ignore it. Continue attacking!" Gu Yue's eyes turned slightly cold as she secretly began mobilizing the power of the Silver Dragon King Origin, ready to support Di Tian at any time.

Though she did not want to expose herself too early, the Golden Dragon King Origin was something she had to obtain. She could not possibly be frightened away by a mere bolt of lightning.

Unfortunately, having missed that opportunity, Tang San had already completed the initial fusion of the Golden Dragon King Origin with Tang Wulin's bloodline. So long as Tang Wulin could endure it, he would be able to absorb and refine the power within the first seal.

The next moment, the phantom projection of his divine consciousness appeared before Tang Wulin. His indifferent eyes looked toward the Fierce Beasts in the air as he snorted coldly. "Remnants of the Spirit Beast race, daring to seize what belongs to my son—you are courting death!"

His appearance was nothing like that previous bolt of lightning. Even if it was only a strand of divine consciousness, it was still the divine consciousness of a God King.

As the pressure within that divine consciousness spread outward, the expressions of the Fierce Beasts in the air, as well as Gu Yue, changed drastically. In their current state, they simply could not contend with an enemy of this level.

Just as Tang San was about to teach Gu Yue and the others a lesson, Tang Wulin on the ground let out a pained howl. His skin began to crack, blood continuously seeping from the wounds and mixing with the rainwater, quickly forming a small pool of blood.

Seeing this, Tang San's eyes narrowed. He hurriedly split off a strand of divine consciousness to inspect Tang Wulin's condition, only to be shocked by what he found inside Tang Wulin's body.

According to his estimates, with Tang Wulin's current physical strength and the enhancement of the three spiritual items, absorbing the energy from the Golden Dragon King's first seal would be somewhat dangerous, but there should not have been any great danger with his assistance.

However, because Gu Yue was mobilizing the power of the Silver Dragon King Origin nearby, she directly stirred the Golden Dragon King Origin. At this moment, all seventeen remaining seals within Tang Wulin's body began to tremble. Even the second seal had cracked open, and the energy sealed within had started leaking out—something Tang Wulin could not possibly withstand at his current level.

"Boundless Sea Tide!" Left with no choice, Tang San could only use Boundless Sea Tide to encircle Tang Wulin. Under the suppression of the divine skill, the torrent of energy within Tang Wulin abruptly came to a halt. But even a divine skill could not last forever.

But Tang San had been a God King for so long that he still had a way to handle such a situation. Besides, he still had a Plane Master for a father. As long as his father acted and drew out some fortune to infuse into Tang Wulin, this crisis would naturally be resolved.

Yet at that moment, a bolt of golden lightning struck Tang Wulin. There truly was the power of fortune within that lightning, just as Tang San had hoped. But when it struck Tang Wulin, not only did it fail to improve his condition, it instead caused the second seal within him to fracture even more severely.

"How could this be!?" Tang San's expression changed drastically. He refused to believe that, after all this time, his father had still failed to seize control of Douluo Planet's planar authority. Even if he had not completely refined the Plane Master, he should at least have brought him under control, shouldn't he? But why had his father failed at such a critical moment? Tang San could not understand.
