Douluo Dalu - Volume 01-48

by Tang Jia San Shao

  The other four Title Douluo catching up were also all scared stupid by the dazzling golden light from the Seagod Trident. They also couldn’t keep their steps from slowing.

  Tang San’s entire body had now turned completely golden, golden misty brilliance soaring from him like flame. Behind him, an enormous golden silhouette slowly appeared, light and shadow played, three times Tang San’s height, one could vaguely see a golden armored human. At the same time the splendorous golden light was filled with endless restoring force, enveloping the full body armor besides the face, and the face was completely illusory and couldn’t be clearly seen.

  “This is……”

  Bibi Dong’s heart suddenly sank, an formidable pressure appearing in her heart without reason. Right now, she couldn’t spare any attention for the business with the two spirit beasts. The golden flame that suddenly appeared on Tang San made her for the first time feel a threat to her life.

  Even though Tang San’s body was completely immobile, his mental strength wasn’t restrained, and through these senses he could also see the strange sight of himself. This wasn’t the first time these circumstances appeared, last time was when he drew the Seagod Trident. Only this time, the silhouette behind him was even more clear.

  At this moment, that golden silhouetted behind Tang San suddenly took a step forward, passing through Tang San, arriving in front of him. With a soft wave of its right hand, that one hundred eight thousand jin heavy Seagod Trident fell into its giant palm. With a shake of its hand, the trident was immediately also rendered in that golden flame, and moreover grew to three times its size, matching that golden silhouette.

  A deep and resounding bold voice, filled with dignity, echoed in Tang San’s mind,

  “I moved unhindered in the Douluo water world for more than a millennium, obtaining the Seagod’s seat. Creating the Golden Thirteen Halberds[1], sweeping unequalled across the seas. Now I impart to you the first three, I will only use them once. First form, Unfixed Storm[2].”

  As the voice reverberated in Tang San’s mind, that golden figure took another step forward. As this step fell, everything in the surroundings instantly became brilliantly golden. Even all the plants seemed like forged from gold, that was a golden light mist. The Seagod Trident rose in the hand of that figure, dexterously sweeping out, bringing one dazzlingly beautiful golden ring of light after another, each golden ring seemed disorderly and messy, but they moved towards and enveloped Bibi Dong as if they had eyes.

  Within this golden mis, Bibi Dong discovered to her shock that her Death Domain had completely lost effect, and basically couldn’t be released outside. At the same time, her mental strength was also pushed back by a formidable pressure until it couldn’t stretch beyond her body. She could only use her eyes to observe her surroundings.

  Watching those rings of golden light head on, cold light burned in Bibi Dong’s eyes. Her red sixth spirit ring flashed, and the dim green light instantly turned emerald, making her malicious looking spirit avatar form turn the color of jade. The two jade like giant sickled rose simultaneously, and a speck of green light spread out in a flash, becoming a bright sharp edge, slanted, criss crossed chopping out, an immense forked ripple shot straight for that golden figure.

  As that jade like ripple of light met with the golden rings released from the Seagod Trident, there was unexpectedly no collision, they only passed through each other. The golden light still headed towards Bibi Dong and the other four, while that jade colored light also cut straight at the golden figure.

  Absolutely don’t underestimate this faint light. As a hundred thousand year spirit ability, with the backing of Bibi Dong’s ninety nine ranks of spirit power, how could its power be ordinary? This hundred thousand year sixth spirit ability was named Everlasting Wound, physical defenses were ineffective against it, and energy defenses reduced fifty percent. If it hit, the wound would spread endlessly, and could only be resisted with spirit power, until the spirit power was exhausted and you died. No matter where it hit, it was fatal. It was one of Bibi Dong’s most powerful single target attacks.

  The other four Title Douluo weren’t staying idle either. Confronting that golden light, in their spirit avatar forms, they all took out at least their eighth spirit abilities and attacked. But their attacks were just like Bibi Dong’s Everlasting Wound, they couldn’t counteract the golden light, and rather directly shot at the golden figure.

  At this moment, that deep voice again echoed in Tang San’s mind:

  “Unfixed Storm, attack and defense united, the only restraining ability of the Golden Thirteen Halberds, and also the strongest restraining ability. If the target is hit, no matter how strong, for eight seconds they cannot move.”

  The Seagod Trident seemed to come alive in the hands of that golden figure. As the Everlasting Wound reached it, it nimbly produced yet another golden ring of light. The light mainly emanated from the trident’s blades, and within the ring appeared a faintly golden barrier, and just like a stain washed in seawater, Bibi Dong’s powerful ability was unexpectedly directly erased. Yes, it felt like it was erased.

  Next, the Seagod Trident drew another four rings of light, easily erasing the other four Title Douluo’s attacks.

  Tang Sans eyes opened wide, using all his mental power, wholeheartedly sensing each move that golden figure made, and moreover deeply sensing the energy waves within. As that golden shadow relied on the Seagod Trident to easily block the attacks of five Title Douluo, he finally understood why this Unfixed Storm was said to be attack and defense united.

  Seeing her attack unexpectedly being ineffective, and that illusory golden ring already in front of her, Bibi Dong couldn’t help changing expression. In that instant she made her response. Advancing instead of retreating, she instead charged towards that golden light, and at the same time, her body changed in a way that left Tang San dumbstruck.

  The originally dark green body emanating green mist, instantly turned purple, and her whole form also changed. Changing from the Soul Eating Spider Emperor Avatar to Death Spider Emperor Avatar, and the seven spirit rings naturally also became nine.

  Tang San’s shock at this scene was obvious. In this world, there were only two known twin spirit masters, one was him, and the other was Bibi Dong. This was naturally also the first Time Tang San saw the real applications of twin spirits in battle. Bibi Dong actually succeeded in spirit avatar change, completely exceeding the common sense of spirit use.

  Under ordinary circumstances, she should first have withdrawn the Soul Eating Spider Emperor Avatar, and then changed spirits, and then launched the Death Spider Emperor Avatar. But she directly omitted the middle steps, completing the switch. Like this, she could switch over to using the Death Spider Emperor abilities without pause.

  Tang San didn’t know how Bibi Dong did it, but also having twin spirits, since Bibi Dong could do it, then in theory, it should be possible for him too.

  Along with the spirit avatar changing, Bibi Dong’s ninth spirit ring flared, and her entire body was covered with a layer of bizarre purple magic lines. And the next moment, those golden rings of light enveloped her and the other four Title Douluo.

  The four Title Douluo were completely frozen, and Bibi Dong also directly fell from the air, each of their expressions turning dull, their auras completely suppressed. Even though their spirits and spirit rings remained, they were still motionless and couldn’t even struggle. Each person was enveloped by a golden misty halo.

  Tang San drew a cold breath, such a powerful control ability. To be able to simultaneously seal four Title Douluo plus a peak Douluo, the Seagod Trident’s true ability, the Golden Thirteen Halberds, were unexpectedly so powerful. According to what the voice in his mind said, these five people would actually be locked in place for eight seconds. In a life and death battle, eight seconds was far too much, whether escaping or launching attacks, it would undoubtedly give the absolute initiative. There was also no need to doubt the effect of this ability when working
together with others. Even more so when this Unfixed Storm combined attack and defense, the opponents basically couldn’t defend against those rings of light, they could only dodge. And he could also rely on the Seagod Trident to dissolve the enemy’s attacks. It could simply be described as a divine ability. Even a hundred thousand year ninth spirit ability might only reach this level.

  Just as Tang San was feeling shocked, that golden figure moved again,

  “Golden Thirteen Halberds, second form, Millennial Space.”

  The golden figure leapt up, turning into countless golden lights, as dazzling as golden clouds of light. The golden clouds directly enveloped the five people, the majority surrounding Bibi Dong, with unprecedented size.

  “Group attack ability.”

  Tang San immediately thought of these words. Large quantities of information constantly entered his mind through his mental power, and he did his utmost to memorize it, for fear of missing anything.

  With a loud explosion, that wide expanse of golden clouds detonated practically simultaneously, enveloping the five like a flood of mercury. In that violent explosion ,each of them suffered a powerful attack, and the four Title Douluo madly vomited blood, thrown high into the air by that golden cloud explosion, falling far away. If they weren’t dead they’d still be seriously injured.

  Purple magic lines roamed all over Bibi Dong’s body right now, forming a layer of purple defence. But as that enormous golden cloud detonated with a heaven shaking explosion, she was still equally thrown out. Her expression wasn’t visible under her spirit avatar, but from the large amounts of purple liquid the Death Spider Emperor spit out, she was clearly injured.

  “Unfortunately, not enough energy.”

  The dignified voice was regretful, even though this one attack had seriously injured five powerful Title Douluo at once, he was still very dissatisfied. But, his voice at once grew stronger,

  “Golden Thirteen Halberds, third form, One Goes Without Return.”

  But seeing that golden figure instantly spin once in midair, the Seagod Trident in its hand also shooting out a half illusory golden light, as if cutting open the sky, the light containing an illusory distortion already reached Bibi Dong.

  This attack was somewhat similar to the all out strike Tang San used before. But without a doubt, it was way more powerful. At least five times that of Tang San’s attack. And Bibi Dong was currently still within the eight second restraint of the Unfixed Storm, basically unable to move.

  With an explosive pop, under the brilliantly golden Seagod Trident, Bibi Dong’s body actually burst into countless fragments, spraying in all directions. The intense golden light shot straight ahead for a kilometer, and where it passed, everything turned to golden specks of light and disappeared. Seeing a single attack like this left Tang San stupefied.

  The golden light vanished, and the golden trident once again returned to Tang San’s grasp, turning back to black. The dignified voice became fuzzy,

  “Hold well these first three forms, do not fear for self-defense, meeting god level opponents, Unfixed Storm’s restraint will be curtailed, but will be no less than three seconds. Remember, remember.”

  “Then when can I learn the next ten forms?”

  Tang San shouted inwardly.

  “Do not be greedy, the day you become Seagod, is the moment to learn the Golden Thirteen Halberds. That person hasn’t died, she possesses abilities making her body undying, unless you inherit the seat of a god, you can never kill her. But she is also infected by my golden divine power, she will need at least an hour to be as before after recovering. You can leave now. Remember, don’t disgrace my Golden Thirteen Halberds……”

  [1] Golden Thirteen Halberds - (黄金十三戟) The last character used alone means halberd, but is also a component of trident which translates as “three pronged halberd”.

  Chapter 263: Sacrifice! Forest King, Tang San’s Nine Rings

  That dignified voice in Tang San’s mind was already faint by the end, but Tang San still felt deeply respectful. He didn’t need to ask to understand that, whether that golden figure or this voice, both came from the true Seagod. Perhaps it could be called the Seagod’s brand on this world. He’d also finally for the first time peeked at the door to divine skills.

  At the same time as Tang San regained control over his body, the four seriously injured Title Douluo were just crawling up from the ground, their faces overwhelmed with shock. And in the air, the purple fragments Bibi Dong had transformed into were swiftly circling and gathering, actually stitched together by lines of purple light. At the same time these fragments were also surrounded by a ring a bizarre purple light.

  Tang San fully believed the Seagod, and since the Seagod said he couldn’t kill Bibi Dong before becoming a god, then he certainly didn’t stand a chance. Without any hesitation, with his mental strength almost completely exhausted, he managed to raise a wisp of energy to urge the Vast Sea Barrier’s stealth, quietly vanishing in the depths of the forest. And those four rising Title Douluo didn’t dare pursue. They were already truly terrified by the Golden Thirteen Halberds true divine ability.

  It was also no wonder they were this way. Seriously injuring five Title Douluo with one strike, including the Spirit Empire’s Empress, the peak level Bibi Dong. How could they not fear such strength? The Seagod Trident in Tang San’s hand was too shocking.

  The purple magic lines grew more and more intense, and the shattered Death Spider Emperor form slowly came together, once again returning to its condition before breaking. Only, the purple magic lines on her body had faint traces of gold. Having just restored her form, Bibi Dong immediately withdrew her spirit avatar, transforming into her real body, and even withdrawing her spirit.

  With a retching sound, she vomited a mouthful of gold flecked blood, her body trembling violently, her eyes filled with unwillingness,

  “This person, is my greatest obstacle to unifying the Continent.”

  Finished speaking, she directly sat down on the ground, assuming a bizarre posture with both hands as she entered cultivation.

  Previously Bibi Dong had used the Death Spider Emperor’s ninth spirit ability, called Undying Body. Ordinary spirit masters definitely wouldn’t absorb a support ability for their strongest ninth spirit ability, but Bibi Dong possessed twin spirits, she naturally wouldn’t be afraid. Her ninth spirit ability came from the same spirit beast as her spirit, a hundred thousand year Death Spider Emperor. Back when she killed this spirit beast, she spent a full year to complete her purpose, obtaining this spirit ring and the Death Spider Emperor’s spirit bone. Of the two abilities this hundred thousand year spirit ring gave her, one was the life saving support ability she just used, Undying Body. Even if her body was smashed and scattered by the enemy’s attack, it could still reform. One step further than Tang San’s Blue Silver Emperor right leg bone.

  When Bibi Dong clearly sensed the threat the golden trident constituted to her life, she quickly switched over to her Death Spider Emperor spirit, and then used this life saving ninth spirit ability. No matter how powerful the enemy’s attack was, it still wasn’t enough to kill her. But, the Seagod’s golden divine power wasn’t that easily resolved. Even though she relied on Undying Body to block the majority, she was still invaded by a portion and forced to neutralize it on her own.

  In such circumstances, let alone mentally searching for Tang San and the others, even defending herself was a problem. The four Spirit Empire elders quickly guarded around her. Of course, deep in their hearts, even Chrysanthemum Douluo who wished he could cut Tang San’s corpse into ten thousand pieces didn’t dare pursue. Everyone only had one life, and having strenuously cultivated to the Title Douluo level, where would they be willing to take risks? At the same time, the strength Tang San displayed gave them a powerless feeling. What kind of enemy was it who possessed such a degree of power, even seriously injuring
the lord Supreme Pontiff.

  But in fact, the ability Tang San had of course wasn’t enough to accomplish this. Just like he didn’t understand Bibi Dong’s abilities, Bibi Dong and these Title Douluo were the same towards his abilities, and especially ignorant of the Seagod Trident. In such circumstances they were caught unprepared, plus that the true Seagod brand showed its strength, thus beating them back in one go. If the true Seagod was here, that second Millennial Space was enough to take their lives, even directly injuring Bibi Dong. After all, rank ninety nine peak Douluo might just be one step short of gods, but their strength were as different as heaven and earth. Moreover, the present Bibi Dong also wasn’t the complete Bibi Dong. A portion of her strength was used elsewhere, and couldn’t be transferred. The use over there was even more important than the two Forest Kings’ spirit rings.

  When Tang San escaped, he was already overdrawn. The Seagod Trident’s consumption of mental strength and spirit power really was too large, even if the last attack had relied on the Seagod brand’s own energy, Tang San had already used it three times before. Although he wasn’t a dried out lamp, he was still out of strength. Maintaining the Vast Sea Barrier was difficult.

  Drawn by his soul, very soon Tang San sensed Xiao Wu’s anxious soul waves, and quickly approached. His estimation of Bibi Dong’s and the Title Douluos’ circumstances was the same as the facts. Within at least an hour, they absolutely wouldn’t dare leave Bibi Dong to pursue. This gave him plenty of time.

  Xiao Wu and the others hadn’t run very far, five li from the site of the previous battle. As Tang San arrived, Xiao Wu was crying bitterly.

  “Da Ming, Er Ming, you have to hold on, you can’t die! Ge is coming. He’s a poison expert, he can definitely save you.”
