Chapter 1978: A True Divine Battle
Gu Yuena shuddered upon hearing this. "Do you really have no regrets?"
Tang Wulin nodded in response. "No matter how much pain I'm in now, at the very least, I was happy during the time I spent with you. Without those happy days, perhaps I wouldn't even have been able to persevere to this point. Without those memories to fuel and console me, I wouldn't have had the strength to rebuild Shrek Academy and face the abyssal plane. You have always been the hope in my heart, and it's because of you that I was able to persist through all of my past hardships and setbacks. My hope may be broken now, but at least it did exist once upon a time."
Gu Yuena was rooted to the spot upon hearing this.
Tang Wulin smiled, and the smile was even more sour than a grimace, but he was smiling. "The outcome is important, but the process is just as important. You and I represent the human race and the soul beasts, respectively, and you were right to predict that we would inevitably oppose each other someday. We can't back down, nor can we escape; these are the responsibilities that we must shoulder, so come! Let's put an end to all of this today and conclude this war once and for all. If you win, my only hope is that you'll build a world where humans and soul beasts can exist in harmony.
"If I win, then I'll be sure to strive to do the same. Do we have an agreement? It'll be our final promise to one another."
Only after a long while did Gu Yuena return to her senses, upon which she slowly nodded in response.
At this moment, all of the humans and soul beasts down below were still immersed in the emotions that the two of them had displayed.
Tang Wulin slowly raised his Golden Dragon Spear, and at the same time, he made a grabbing motion with his right hand to summon his Sea God's Trident.
The fact that he was finally bringing out his most powerful weapon was a clear sign that he was about to go all-out.
Gu Yuena also raised her Silver Dragon Spear, and a massive cloud of nine-colored light appeared above her, illuminating her entire body while her aura began to elevate rapidly.
Only in this instant did the battle between them truly begin.
Tang Wulin made the first move, stepping forward with his left foot as he unleashed his Dragon Emperor Fight.
His essence, energy, and spirit were instantly elevated to their peaks, and it seemed that the previous two battles hadn't affected him at all.
A fearsome aura erupted out of his body alongside dazzling golden light, and a clear dragon's roar rang out, as if to herald the awakening of the Golden Dragon King.
The Dragon God's core above Gu Yuena began to tremble slightly in the face of this dragon's roar, and it seemed to be calling out to its two constituent parts to fuse with one another.
Silver light revolved around Gu Yuena's battle armor, and her Silver Dragon Spear had already taken on a nine-colored hue. She thrust her spear forward, and a nine-colored ball of light began to slowly take shape. The ball of light was only around the size of a human fist, but the energy contained within it was constantly increasing and compressing.
Two dragon's roars rang out in unison as the two charged toward one another, and their battle truly commenced.
"Boom!"
Divine power exploded, illuminating the entire sky with scintillating light. Countless cracks appeared in mid-air as Tang Wulin and Gu Yuena were both repelled backward.
Tang Wulin unleashed a Profound Heavenly Circle with the Golden Dragon Spear in his left hand to nullify the shockwaves from the energy storm, and at the same time, he thrust his Sea God's Trident forward to unleash his Fury of the Masses.
The countless projections unleashed by the Sea God's Trident combined as one to form a massive trident projection that hurtled directly toward Gu Yuena.
Meanwhile, light swirled around Gu Yuena's body, and everything around her suddenly began to warp and twist. A beam of light shone down from the Dragon God's core above her, striking the trident projection with unerring accuracy, and divine light surged through the air as both Tang Wulin and Gu Yuena swayed in unison.
The Sea God's Trident was swept through the air again, unleashing Millennium White Clouds on this occasion, and it seemed that Tang Wulin was no longer holding back in the slightest.
Gu Yuena's eyes narrowed slightly as she raised her Silver Dragon Spear, and another beam of nine-colored light erupted out of the Dragon God's core. At the same time, a massive nine-colored dragon's head appeared behind Gu Yuena before releasing an enormous breath that engulfed her entire body.
As a result, her aura began to elevate drastically, and she swung her Silver Dragon Spear down violently, unleashing an enormous nine-colored blade of light that swept directly toward Tang Wulin.
The white clouds were torn apart before dissipating, while the nine-colored blade of light continued to sweep toward Tang Wulin, and in retalitation, Tang Wulin unleashed a series of Profound Heavenly Circles with his Sea God's Trident to dispel the attack.
Immediately thereafter, a series of golden halos drifted through the air, and this was none other than Tang Wulin's most powerful control ability, Unpredictable Storm!
During the previous battle, his Unpredictable Storm that was comprised of Profound Heavenly Circles had completely dominated the seven Limit Douluos, and all of the Great Beasts down below immediately tensed up at the sight of this technique being unleashed again.
Would Gu Yuena be able to withstand this Unpredictable Storm?
Even the Holy Lord had been immobilized by Tang San's Unpredictable Storm, thereby leading to his ultimate demise. If Gu Yuena were to be trapped by the same technique, then she would be reduced to a sitting duck and have to face the full brunt of Tang Wulin's power.
Right at this moment, the Dragon God's core above Gu Yuena suddenly descended, and her eyes took on a bright nine-colored hue as a burst of peerless authoritative might erupted out of her body.
Tang Wulin's Golden Dragon King bloodline aura was instantly diminished, and for the first time since he attained the Golden Dragon King blooline, he was struck by a sense of suppression.
This was the power of the Dragon God, and the suppression stemmed from the Dragon God's bloodline. With the Dragon God's core in her control, Gu Yuena held an inherent advantage over Tang Wulin.
Right at this moment, Gu Yuena thrust her Silver Dragon Spear forward, gently flicking the golden halos one after another. As a result, all of the halos were diverted away from her, and none of them were able to descend upon her.
With each flick of her Silver Dragon Spear, the spear itself would become slightly translucent, seemingly indicating that it was drawing energy from the Dragon God's core.
She had succeeded! Gu Yuena had successfully nullified Tang Wulin's Unpredictable Storm!
This was the first time that his Unpredictable Storm had ever proven to be completely ineffective, and he couldn't help but falter slightly upon seeing this.
In the next instant, Gu Yuena charged toward Tang Wulin, and all of the humans and soul beasts were growing quite nervous again.
Both Tang Wulin and Gu Yuena were far too familiar with one another, and their battle was extremely simple and direct.
All of a sudden, heaven and earth dimmed as a burst of invisible pressure descended upon the world, and in that instant, both the Golden Dragon Spear and Sea God's Trident lit up in unison.
Tang Wulin himself also began to glow with dazzling golden light, and the entire sky was illuminated as he unleashed his Golden Dragon Radiance!
This was the final Dragon Emperor Restriction Techniques, and it was Tang Wulin's most powerful ability. Following his breakthrough to the true god level, his Dragon Emperor Restriction Techniques had undoubtedly become even more powerful.
He was releasing Profound Heavenly Circles with his Golden Dragon Spear while unleashing his Golden Dragon Radiance with his Sea God's Trident, and he flapped his wings with all his might, propelling himself toward Golden Dragon Spear like a speeding arrow.
Their eyes met, and Tang Wulin was appraising Gu Yuena with an intense gaze, as if he were trying to brand her image permanently into his heart.
As for Gu Yuena, she was completely engulfed in nine-colored light, and her eyes were glowing brightly.
They had only locked eyes for an instant, but to them, it felt as if an eternity had passed by.
