Chapter 1931: Participation of the Tree of Life!
The Golden Dragon King's two most powerful abilities consisted of an offensive ability and a defensive one. In order to access the offensive ability, all of the seals would have to be broken, while the defensive ability in question was none other than Golden Waterfall, which Tang Wulin was currently unleashing.
To put it more accurately, Golden Waterfall should actually be called Golden Dragon Waterfall as it wasn't just a purely defensive soul skill; it was also a support ability as well. It was a sentient ability that could protect the person that it had been unleashed by, and it was able to fuse as one with Tang Wulin's dragon's repulse.
As such, it was able to immediately react in the most correct fashion in Tang Wulin's time of need.
The Holy Lord faltered slightly upon witnessing his attack fail to wound Tang Wulin. It was clear that his opponent had become more powerful, and that was quite shocking to him.
Even though there was still a very large disparity in power between them, his opponent had gained the ability to temporarily hold his own against him, and this was most certainly not a good feeling.
For the Holy Lord, no mishaps could be allowed to occur.
Never did he think that this pair of young humans could display such significant growth in the span of just three days, despite the fact that they were unable to truly attain godhood. He couldn't allow them to keep developing like this.
A cold look appeared in the Holy Lord's eyes, and he didn't pause in the slightest as he instantly reached Tang Wulin before lashing out with Heavenly Saint Abyssal Rift again.
In the face of absolute speed and power, there was no way to evade. In the instant that the Holy Lord unleashed his attack, virtually all of the power of heaven and earth was on his side, making his attack completely unavoidable.
Tang Wulin thrust his Sea God's Trident forward again, and just like last time, he was forced back once again amid a resounding boom.
The Golden Dragon Waterfall on Tang Wulin's body was propelling his body to the side to avoid directly facing Heavenly Saint Abyssal Rift, but the Holy Lord was simply too powerful, so much so that Tang Wulin's arms had already become completely numb after just two clashes.
He was definitely faring much better than last time, but he knew that this still wasn't enough and that there was still a huge gap between him and the Holy Lord.
Golden Dragon Waterfall was only able to withstand part of the power of Heavenly Saint Abyssal Rift, and it was still able to slice a large incision into Tang Wulin's battle armor.
Blood splashed through the air once again, and countless people's hearts jolted upon seeing this.
It was undoubtedly the case that Tang Wulin and Gu Yuena were the human race's final line of resistance against the Holy Lord.
Right at this moment, a streak of green light surged through the air, shining upon Tang Wulin almost as soon as the wound was inflicted onto his body.
As a result, the wound was instantly healed, and even the sharp residual aura of Heavenly Saint Abyssal Rift was immediately erased from within Tang Wulin's body. The numbness in his arms also disappeared, and he was instantly returned to peak condition.
He thrust his Sea God's Trident forward again as he unleashed his Dragon Emperor Charge.
Immense explosive power erupted before the Holy Lord, who defended himself using Heavenly Saint Abyssal Rift, and he was forced back by the impact amid a resounding boom.
This was the first time that Tang Wulin and Gu Yuena had managed to force back the Holy Lord thus far!
The tree of life was finally participating in this battle. As the core of life on the entire Douluo Continent, it was clearly aware of just how important this battle was.
The Holy Lord was rather taken aback by the fact that he had been knocked back by Tang Wulin's attack, but his surprise quickly turned into fury.
The radiance of Heavenly Saint Abyssal Rift grew even brighter, and it took on a crystalline appearance.
As it was slashed through the air once again, even the Holy Lord's eyes had taken on a dark blue color.
Tang Wulin immediately retaliated by fighting fire with fire and unleashing his Dragon Emperor Annihilation.
Seeing as he was unable to evade his opponent's attacks anyway, the best course of action was to face the attacks head-on.
"Boom!"
Tang Wulin was sent flying back through the air again, and on this occasion, a massive wound that had almost sliced him cleanly in half had been inflicted onto his body. This was the true power of the Holy Lord!
In the past, this attack alone would've been enough to put Tang Wulin on the brink of death, but now, he had the support of the core of life of the Douluo Continent.
Resplendent green light shone upon his body with unerring accuracy once again, and the wound that he had sustained was instantly healed, restoring him to peak condition. Thus, he was able to unleash another fierce assault with his Sea God's Trident.
This was a situation that the Holy Lord had never anticipated, and not only was he furious, he was also feeling quite frustrated by this opponent who was clearly weaker than him, but simply refused to be killed.
He knew that the tree of life was definitely having to expend an enormous amount of life energy to heal the wounds inflicted by his Heavenly Saint Abyssal Rift, so if things were to continue like this, the tree of life would be exhausted of life energy eventually, upon which he would be able to kill Tang Wulin.
However, that would require quite some time, and he was essentially being stopped cold in his tracks by Tang Wulin's Dragon God Transformation and the tree of life.
The Holy Lord's eyes narrowed slightly as he harrumphed coldly, "Do you think this is enough to stop my advance?"
He slashed his Heavenly Saint Abyssal Rift through the air as he spoke to send Tang Wulin flying once again, then raised the weapon high above his head, and dark blue light erupted out of his body before surging downward.
"Abyssal Reform!"
At this point, the light from the explosion of Eternal Heaven had already faded, and the opening of the abyssal passageway was revealed to have expanded to close to twice its original size in the wake of the explosion, but not even a single abyssal creature remained.
However, all of a sudden, a massive pillar of dark golden light suddenly erupted out of the abyssal passageway, and a vicious look appeared on the Holy Lord's face as this phenomenon took place.
A grim look also appeared on Tang Wulin's face, and he could clearly sense that this pillar of light was imbued with extremely powerful abyssal energy, as well as many abyssal auras.
It was clear that even though Eternal Heaven had temporarily stopped the abyssal plane in its tracks, the explosion hadn't actually been able to cause much substantial damage.
"As soon as I descended into this world, I was able to eradicate all of the pressure from this plane, which means that I'm able to transport the power of the entire abyss into this plane, and that includes the resurrection ability of the abyss. I would have to expend an enormous amount of energy to do this, but being able to devour the Douluo Plane will more than make up for that. You may be able to temporarily stall me here, but let me see how you plan to stop my abyssal army!"
As soon as his voice trailed off, countless abyssal creatures erupted out of the golden pillar of light before rushing in all directions in a frenzy. Much to Tang Wulin's alarm, there were some familiar figures among the abyssal creatures, including the likes of the Spirit Sovereign and the Black Sovereign!
In addition to that, there was also the Fierce Sovereign, the Transformation Sovereign, the Hornet Sovereign, the Demonic Puppet Sovereign... All of the abyssal rulers that had been slain earlier had been resurrected through this pillar of light.
These reanimated abyssal rulers were clearly lacking in sentience and intelligence compared to their past selves, but their auras were still as formidable as ever!
Tang Wulin's eyes had already taken on a nine-colored hue upon seeing this.
He couldn't afford to stall for time any longer; only by killing the Holy Lord could he put an end to all of this!
A series of nine-colored halos surged through the air while Tang Wulin's aura was elevated to a peak, and the tree of life also offered its support, releasing a beam of light that shone upon his body.
This was Tang Wulin's Unpredictable Storm!
The Holy Lord harrumphed coldly and made no effort to evade, allowing the Unpredictable Storm to trap him while he appraised Tang Wulin with a mocking expression, as if to ask "you may have trapped me for now, but how are you going to kill me?"
Right at this moment, Tang Wulin suddenly transferred his Sea God's Trident to his left hand, then slammed his right palm into the Holy Lord's chest. A burst of rainbow flames erupted forth in the form of a lotus flower, and the Holy Lord's agonized howl instantly rang out across the entire battlefield.
