"Hum!"
Luo Feng's words were like detonating a genuine antimatter bomb!
It wasn't just the members of the Shrek Seven Devils who were left dumbfounded.
Even the soul masters watching from afar were so shocked that their jaws hit the floor.
The heroine of the Spirit Pagoda's Martial Arts Matchmaking, the high and mighty goddess, was actually pregnant?
And the father of the child was Tang Wulin?!
"You're lying!"
Gu Yuena's pretty face turned deathly pale, and she hurriedly tried to deny it.
But Tang Wulin turned his head abruptly.
Looking at Gu Yuena's evasive violet eyes and her hands subconsciously shielding her flat abdomen.
A miraculous sensation of bloodline connection finally broke through all reason and pretense at this moment.
"Gu Yu... is this true? We... have a child?"
Tang Wulin's eyes, which had been filled with killing intent, were instantly blurred by tears.
"Wulin, don't listen to his provocations, leave quickly! His target is you!"
Gu Yuena shook her head desperately, tears sliding down uncontrollably.
She knew full well what losing the Golden Dragon King core meant for Tang Wulin; it was practically equivalent to draining his life essence!
"What a truly touching family of three."
Luo Feng coldly interrupted this tragic scene, his tone devoid of the slightest pity.
"My patience is limited.
I'll count to three. Either you hand over the Golden Dragon King core yourself and get lost with your wife and child."
"Or, I'll blast you all into smithereens with one shot, and then slowly extract the core from your minced meat."
"Three."
Luo Feng began the countdown directly, and the Plasma Cannon on the Vanguard Titan's right arm lit up with a blinding red glow once again.
The threat of death instantly shrouded the entire ruin.
"Two."
The high-frequency charging sound emitted by the cannon barrel was like a death warrant, striking heavily at Tang Wulin's heart.
He looked at the Sea God Trident in his hand, its light dim.
Then he looked at the tear-streaked Gu Yuena not far away, and the abdomen that was nurturing a new life.
Tang Wulin smiled miserably; all his pride and stubbornness collapsed in that instant.
As a man, as someone about to become a father, he had no choice.
"One..."
"I'll hand it over!"
At the very last moment before Luo Feng was about to pull the trigger, Tang Wulin roared at the top of his lungs.
With a "clang," the Sea God Trident dropped into the scorched ruins.
Tang Wulin knelt on one knee.
He closed his eyes in pain and voluntarily unlocked the final few god-level seals within his spiritual sea.
"Wulin! Don't!"
Gu Yuena let out a desperate wail and tried to rush over, but was held back tightly by Zi Ji and Bi Ji.
"A wise choice. Rest assured, I've always been clean and efficient when extracting equipment."
Luo Feng smiled with satisfaction, and the armor on the Vanguard Titan's chest opened once again.
He floated out from the spacious cockpit, looking like a true god presiding over life and death.
He looked down from above at this child of destiny from the original story.
"Come on, Sect Master Tang. Since you've made your choice, be quick about it and offer up your core."
Luo Feng crossed his arms, a playful curve hanging on the corner of his mouth.
However, Tang Wulin, kneeling on the ground, was deathly pale.
His forehead was covered in fine beads of cold sweat, and his body couldn't stop trembling violently.
He had completely released the eighteen seals left behind by Old Tang in his spiritual sea.
Yet, that violent golden energy was still rampaging wildly through his limbs and bones.
There was absolutely no sign of it leaving his body.
"I... I don't know how to take it out..."
Tang Wulin gritted his teeth, spitting out the words in humiliation.
"This power has long since fused with my bloodline, my bones, and even my soul. If it were forcibly stripped away, even if I did it myself, I would instantly explode and die!"
"Even if you kill me, this power will dissipate along with me, or it will revert into a violent source of destruction and detonate! I simply cannot give you a physical entity!"
Hearing Tang Wulin's desperate explanation, the surrounding Shrek Seven Devils and Gu Yuena felt their hearts tighten.
Gu Yuena, in particular, knew the terrifying nature of the Golden Dragon King Divine Core better than anyone.
That was the purest law of destruction from the God Realm; even if Tang Wulin were willing to give it up, an ordinary person could never take it!
"You don't know how to extract it? Is this a deathbed struggle, or are you trying to bargain with me by relying on the unique nature of the Golden Dragon King Divine Core?"
Luo Feng didn't get angry after hearing this; instead, he laughed with disdain.
"Tang Wulin, oh Tang Wulin, you really are an illiterate fool through and through."
"Did you think that I would dare to demand this top-tier god-level loot without having the perfect means to extract it?"
Luo Feng slowly extended his right hand, a flash of fanatical, dazzling light deep within his eyes.
"Since you won't spit it out yourself, I'll show some mercy and perform a 'minimally invasive surgery' for you!"
"Hum!"
As Luo Feng's voice fell, a strange fluctuation, entirely distinct from the traditional soul power system of Douluo Continent, erupted from his body!
There were no conventional soul rings appearing, nor any phantom projections of beast spirits.
Beneath Luo Feng's feet, a complex, massive circular array emitting blinding white light instantly unfolded!
Within the array, countless mysterious runes representing the truths of the universe, alchemical formulas, and intricate geometric patterns were densely interwoven.
"What... kind of martial soul is this!"
Not far away, Gu Yuena's beautiful eyes widened in disbelief.
In her dragon memories, such a bizarre martial soul had never appeared on Douluo Planet.
The aura emanating from that light array was neither creation nor destruction, but a law of absolute... equivalent exchange and material restructuring!
"Never seen it before? This is called alchemy."
Luo Feng looked at their shocked expressions and arrogantly answered their doubts.
"This is my martial soul—Truth Alchemy!"
"As long as the composition of matter and energy is analyzed, there is nothing my alchemy cannot separate. Even the core of a god must obediently be broken down into raw nutrients in the face of the laws of truth!"
Having said that, Luo Feng snapped his fingers at the massive Mecha behind him without looking back.
"BT! Initiate deep neural link! Stabilize energy anchors, lock onto the target!"
[Command confirmed! Ironclad!]
The Vanguard Titan's deep blue electronic eye instantly erupted with high-frequency scanning beams, directly enveloping Tang Wulin, who was kneeling on the ground.
[Analyzing material structure... God-level bloodline energy network detected within the target!]
[High-frequency anti-gravity restraint field activated! Energy extraction channel established!]
"Sizzle, sizzle, sizzle!"
The Mecha's arms extended several slender blue beams, acting like precision neural probes.
They pierced precisely into the space around Tang Wulin, completely pinning him in mid-air.
This was not to harm him, but to use the Mecha's super-computing power to forcibly stabilize Tang Wulin's vital signs, which were on the verge of collapse due to the extraction!
This was the ultimate romance of the Fourth Calamity: the perfect fusion of technology and fantasy!
"Surgery begins. Sect Master Tang, it might hurt a little; bear with it."
Luo Feng smiled cruelly and slammed his right palm into the void, the Alchemy Matrix beneath his feet flaring with intense light!
The blinding alchemical radiance merged perfectly with the Vanguard Titan's deep blue tractor beams.
It transformed into an invisible net, reaching deep into Tang Wulin's limbs and bones.
"Analyze! Decompose! Reconstruct!"
"Come... out!!!"
"Ah!!!"
Tang Wulin instantly threw his head back, letting out a shrill, heart-wrenching scream!
Under the stable computing power of the Vanguard Titan and the absolute laws of Truth Alchemy.
The blood within his body boiled in an instant, as wisps and strands of pure golden mist.
Were forcibly extracted, bit by bit, from his pores, acupoints, and even the depths of his soul!
These golden mists were none other than the world-destroying origin essence of the Golden Dragon King!
They roared and struggled frantically in mid-air.
Even faintly manifesting as miniature, wrathful golden dragon phantoms, they bared their fangs and brandished their claws in an attempt to backlash against Luo Feng.
But in the face of the Vanguard Titan's unreasonable antimatter restraint field.
These violent divine powers were like toothless vipers, forced to submit to the traction beam.
They gathered continuously into the center of the Alchemy Matrix beneath Luo Feng's feet.
"Wulin!"
Gu Yuena sobbed uncontrollably; watching Tang Wulin in such agonizing pain, her heart felt as if it were being sliced by a blade.
Yet she dared not move, nor did she dare step forward to interfere.
Because the heavy cannons on the Vanguard Titan's shoulders remained locked firmly onto her.
She could only watch helplessly as everything unfolded...
