Chapter 166 - The Legends Of The Tang Sec (1/2)

She… Isn't this the girl I fought in the Hall of Heroes? She appears more mature in this sculpture though; the one I fought was when she was a young girl.

This is the Flute Cauldron Douluo, Xiao Xiao? One of the numerous t.i.tles she held was being a member of the Spirit PaG.o.da's founder's generation of the Shrek Seven Monsters. Her Three Cycles Soul Cauldron and Nine Phoenix Flute twin martial souls were famed for their strength.

Then the other sculptures should be of the remaining Shrek Seven Monsters in her generation, right?

Tang Wulin's excitement soared as he recalled all his favorite tales of the Tang Sect that had been imprinted in his heart.

The most famous were the first generation of the Shrek Seven Monsters, in particular, the ill.u.s.trious Thousand Hands Douluo Tang San, leader of the Shrek Seven Monsters and founder of the Tang Sect.

After that was the next generation that existed 10,000 years ago, the generation of Spirit Ice Douluo Huo Yuhao, founder of the Spirit PaG.o.da. He rebuilt Tang Sect from its crumbling husk of an organization back to its former glory. Tang Sect never stopped s.h.i.+ning majestically throughout the world from then on.

Despite their achievements though, the federation had a less-than-kind view of them. After all, the Spirit Ice Douluo had led his comrades to force the Sun Moon Empire into a peace treaty.

There were even some that said that the following generation's great emperor was the Spirit Ice Douluo's illegitimate child. No one knew whether this doubtful story was true or not, however.

Ah! The person beside Xiao Xiao should be Caitou, right? Then the ones over there should be the Mysterious Underworld Douluo, Xu Sans.h.i.+ and the Demon Rabbit Douluo, Jiang Nannan. The one at the front with s.h.i.+ning eyes and six spirit souls should be the Spirit PaG.o.da's founder, the legendary Spirit Ice Douluo, Huo Yuhao.

Legends said that he had a million-year Skydream Iceworm as one of his spirit souls. He also had two of the ten great soul beasts of the time, the Glacial Heaven Snow Empress and the Frost Jade Scorpion Empress. The hundred-thousand-year Arctic Bear King and hundred-thousand-year Eight-Pointed Frozen Gra.s.s were also among his array of spirit souls. There was no mistaking his claim as the most legendary figure of the time!

Unfortunately no one knew what happened after his earth-shattering, heaven-turning battle with the Beast G.o.d, Di Tian. The Beast G.o.d vanished while the Spirit Ice Douluo and his wife, the Dragon b.u.t.terfly Douluo, disappeared altogether. Perhaps only the other five members of that generation's Shrek Seven Monsters would know where the two had gone.

Tang Wulin felt as though he were right there with them as he gazed upon the sculptures and recalled the legends of their epic adventures.

Tang Wulin's eyes glowed brighter when he switched his gaze to the sculptures on the right. If the left are the Shrek Seven Monsters from 10,000 years ago, then the right should be the original Shrek Seven Monsters!

The sculpture of the Civet Douluo, Zhu Zhuqing—one of the original Shrek Seven Monsters and a founding member of the Tang Sect—stood at the very back.

In front of her was Ning Rongrong, the Nine Treasures Douluo. There were rumors that said she transformed her support-type martial soul, the Seven Treasures Glazed PaG.o.da, into the Nine Treasures Glazed PaG.o.da. With it, she had brought the sect 10,000 years of prosperity. The bloodline of the Nine Treasures Glazed PaG.o.da was rare even in ancient times. Now it was merely a legend of eras long gone. Many other powerful martial soul bloodlines of the ancient era shared a similar fate and were lost with the pa.s.sage of time.

The Demonic Fire Phoenix Douluo, Ma Hongjun with his flaming phoenix, stood before Ning Rongrong. As one who bore the exalted t.i.tle of being one of the Shrek Seven Monsters, it was only natural for his Demonic Fire Phoenix to be known as a martial soul that stood at the world's peak.

In front of him was the Food G.o.d Douluo, Oscar. What's that revolving around him? Is that a sausage? Ah! That's right! I heard his nickname was Big Sausage Uncle!

Standing further along the line was a man with a regal air, the White Tiger Douluo, Dai Mubai. It was said in the stories that he was the strongest member of the Shrek Seven Monsters for a long time.

Tang Wulin finally looked at the two most magnificent sculptures in the forefront.

He didn't know why, but a s.h.i.+ver ran down his spine the moment he set his eyes on them. An incomprehensible feeling of warmth and longing filled him.

His gaze rested on the girl in a pink dress first. Her sculpture was carved exquisitely, every line and curve capturing her essence and filling her with a spark of life. Her long scorpion braid hung down her back while her large, beautiful eyes accentuated her sweet smile.

Even though spirit souls hadn't existed in that era, a pair of rabbit ears popped out from the top of her head. She was the co-founder of the Tang Sect and the only member in the entire history of the Shrek Seven Monsters to be a human-transformed soul beast—Soft Bone Douluo, Xiao Wu!

She was supposedly a hundred-thousand-year soul beast that gained human form and became the Tang Sect founder's lover. When her ident.i.ty was revealed and others aimed for her life, the Tang Sect founder didn't hesitate to protect her with his life. Yet, just when she was about to truly metamorphose into a human, the Soft Bone Douluo chose to sacrifice herself and become the Tang Sect founder's soul ring.

Though the Tang Sect founder lived thanks to her sacrifice, all that remained of her was a corpse. Tormented by his loss, he used a rare herb to just barely preserve the core of her life. He finally managed to resurrect her after undergoing many trials throughout the world, utilising every method he could think of and severing his own arm to return the soul bone he had received from her sacrifice.

Such a romantic tale of tragic love moved the hearts of countless people. It was also because of such a heart-wrenching story that the original Shrek Seven Monsters were the most renowned.

Tang Wulin took a subconscious step forward as he regarded the sculpture of such an eminent figure. His gaze wavered and his body began to feel feverish as he felt something calling out to him.
