Chapter 1665: Death Wither
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Tang Wulin saw Ha Luosa suddenly thrust the Underworld King Sword into the ground in front of him.
At once, a gray-white radiance bloomed outward like a flower just entering full bloom with his body as its center point.
Oh no!
At the exact moment that the gray-white light began to spread out, Tang Wulin could sense that something was not right. He instinctively felt a looming danger and reacted to the situation almost subconsciously.
The passing of time had changed in an instant. In the Underworld Hell domain, the Time Backtrack domain was suppressed to a certain extent. Even so, it still managed to slow the speed at which Ha Luosa launched his attack.
A loud booming noise came from Tang Wulin as seven golden soul rings emerged on his body. It was the fifth soul ring that had exploded. The intense tremor allowed him to break free from the suppression of the domain around him, blasting him out of it.
Not only that, the Dragon Air on his body was also gushing out freely and created a mighty defensive barrier for him.
The gray-white petals arrived after a momentary pause. The Dragon Air melted away almost as soon as it came into contact with the gray-white radiance. It could not even withstand it even for a moment. The petals were not only capable of melting energy away energy but also space. Where the gray-white petals passed, everything turned pitch-black at once. With Ha Luosa’s body as its center point, the blackness was filled with devouring power.
It was the Underworld King Douluo Ha Luosa’s eighth soul skill, the Death Wither!
Tang Wulin would not even have needed to dodge if it had been the eighth soul skill of a Soul Douluo. However, one could only understand the terror of a quasigod’s fully unleashed eighth soul skill by experiencing it.
Although Tang Wulin reacted to the situation swiftly, his body had still been tainted by the gray-white color. His battle armor immediately displayed its formidable defenses trying to resist the gray-white hue. However, the gray-white light was acting just like a ravenous maggot. It was incapable of destroying Tang Wulin’s battle armor as it had done to the Dragon Air, but it was corroding his battle armor rapidly. Huge patches of gray-white were appearing on Tang Wulin’s armor, and it was also beginning to show signs of softening.
Meanwhile, streams of electric light gushed out from Tang Wulin. It started off being blue and purple, but soon additional streams of seven colors were added. It did not continue to blast outward, but turned back onto his body.
Where the seven-colored radiance passed, it finally halted the spread of the terrifying gray-white color, but both the seven-colored radiance and the gray-white color were neutralizing one another rapidly.
Tang Wulin drew in a cold breath. The seven-colored radiance was actually the elemental calamity stored up after countless agonizing attempts at Heavenly Refinement. It was the greatest force in the entire plane. In a sense, it could be considered a divine-ranked force. Nevertheless, the terrifying gray-white energy could still neutralize the elemental calamity. Tang Wulin was fortunate to have the help of elemental calamity. Otherwise, his suit of battle armor could very possibly be doomed.
Ha Luosa’s single strike was so frightful. If Tang Wulin had reacted slightly slower to it and ended up being tainted with more gray-white energy, perhaps he would have melted away at once just like his Dragon Air.
“That’s the elemental origin!” Ha Luosa frowned deeply. Unbeknownst to Tang Wulin, the Underworld King Douluo was more astonished than he was.
Ha Luosa’s Death Wither contained his god-ranked comprehension. He was a quasigod, which was only one step away from ascending to Godhood. The reason a quasigod was powerful was because he was already equipped with the characteristics of a God in a sense.
The Death Wither was displaying a god-ranked force. Thus, Ha Luosa assumed that the boy was doomed as soon as he saw Tang Wulin was tainted by a little bit of his gray-white energy. Even a single drop of the Death Wither could rapidly spread all over a person’s body and dissolve it completely.
He had never expected that Tang Wulin could summon such a large amount of elemental origin power from his body and cleanse him of the Death Wither.
Ha Luosa was incapable of using the Reaper power contained in Death Wither continuously. It would swiftly consume his energy.
Both of them looked at one another. Underneath their calm eyes, their hearts were surging with emotions.
Ha Luosa lifted the Underworld King Sword out of the ground and into the sky. A stream of blades cut through the sky and arrived before Tang Wulin. He watched as the ninth soul ring on Ha Luosa’s body began to glow.
“Oh no, I’m doomed!”
Judging by the Death Winter, he could tell that he would not be able to resist Ha Luosa’s ninth soul skill. It would almost certainly result in his death.
On the other hand, Ha Luosa was surprised to find that Tang Wulin was not trying to figure out a way to resist or escape. Instead, Tang Wulin twisted his body and swiftly threw the Golden Dragon Spear.
The spear flew into the sky as it was not targeting Ha Luosa.
Ha Luosa had started preparing to launch his ninth soul skill at present. He was preparing to risk exhausting himself to kill this boy as soon as possible and not give him any opportunity to run away.
The golden radiance arrived almost instantaneously and pierced through a Death Knight. The incredible devouring power had no intention to let the underworld energy escape. It consumed and absorbed the energy rapidly.
As the owner of Golden Dragon Spear, Tang Wulin immediately felt a gush of energy surge into his body. A stream of golden light had appeared before him as he threw the Golden Dragon Spear. It blocked the blades unleashed by the Underworld King Douluo Ha Luosa just in time.
“Hum!” The golden radiance remained unmoved while the blades dispersed. The barrage of blades was unable to breach the golden radiance in the slightest.
The golden radiance rapidly condensed. It thrust into the ground and stood upright to block Ha Luosa’s attack.
It was a golden trident covered with dazzling golden light. An enormous, sparkling diamond-shaped jewel was encrusted right below the center prong of the trident.
Tang Wulin raised his hand and held the Sea God’s Trident. Passing two of the Sea God’s Nine Examinations gave him an affinity with it. He felt like he had merged with this divine weapon that his father had used in the past.
He took a step forward and swung the Sea God’s Trident. Golden halos wrapped around the area in a split second.
The gray-white domain was rendered incapable of resisting the pulsing of the golden halos. It was as if these two entities were not supposed to be in the same space.
Ha Luosa’s pupils constricted as he prepared for his ninth soul skill. Three words appeared in his mind at once. They were ‘super divine weapon’!
A divine weapon was a weapon used by someone that had ascended to Godhood or a weapon that carried a certain amount of a God’s power. In turn, the super divine weapon was one that belonged to a rank-1 God in the legendary Divine Realm.
Across the entire Douluo Continent, Ha Luosa knew of only one or two super divine weapons in existence. He had never expected that the Tang Sect’s Sect Master and the Sea God’s Pavilion Master of Shrek Academy before him was equipped with one.
The presence of a super divine weapon could possibly reverse a course of events. Even a quasigod may not necessarily be able to achieve victory when confronted by a super divine weapon.
He gave up on his ninth soul skill entirely. Ha Luosa quickly raised the Underworld King Sword in his hand in an attempt to touch the golden halos.
However, the surrounding space seemed to have turned into overlapping layers in a split second. In less than a moment, he was already paralyzed. He could only watch helplessly as the gigantic golden trident struck him.
“Boom!” The impact blasted Ha Luosa away as if he was a baseball. Tang Wulin’s face was also ghastly pale as well.
Tang Wulin’s body swayed and arrived at Ling Zichen and Liu Jingyun’s side. He swept the golden trident across and conjured a magnificent golden halo. The halo exploded and blasted all the Death Knights that encircled them away. A shimmering green radiance surrounded all three of their bodies. There was a flash of light and they vanished from the spot without a trace.
Ha Luosa had been thrown to a spot a thousand meters away. He had only stopped after crashing into countless rocks and trees. By the time his body stopped moving, the golden halos on his body had vanished. Actually, the halos only had control over his body for slightly more than one second.
‘He didn’t manage to control the super divine weapon completely.’ This was the first thought that came to Ha Luosa. His next reaction was regret and anger because he suddenly realized that a Hyper Douluo could not possibly be capable of controlling a super divine weapon. Even he had no idea how much effort was needed for him to be able to control such a weapon with his cultivation base. In order to wield a super divine weapon, the bearer would need to receive approval from the weapon itself.
Thus, it was highly possible that Tang Wulin would not be able to unleash his soul skill that fully utilized the power of the super divine weapon. This meant that Tang Wulin would not have had an effective counterattack to his ninth soul skill.
The intense feelings of regret built in his heart. This was not because he failed to kill Tang Wulin when he had the chance, but because he did not seize the super divine weapon.
