Chapter 816: Unified Charge (1/2)
811'>
With his prior experience, Tang Wulin had deduced that the person at the forefront of the group would have to withstand the most amount of physical stress, so it was undoubtedly the case that he had to lead from the front. Everyone else would also have to withstand energy a.s.saults from all sides.At a time like this, his Violent Golden Dragon Domain and Xu Xiaoyan's Astral Chains became really important. With the effects of those two soul skills, they should be able to make it through to the other side.
An hour later, everyone was ready.
Tang Wulin said, ”Hold your buns and only eat them when I say so. Brace yourselves!”
He raised his Golden Dragon Spear and pointed its tip directly up ahead as he spoke.
Everyone had donned their battle armor, and Tang Wulin yelled, ”Charge!”
Immediately thereafter, he led the charge while Astral Chains connected everyone.
However, Tang Wulin didn't immediately unleash his Violent Golden Dragon Domain as using it would expend too much energy, and it wasn't necessary for the first part of their charge anyway.
Yuanen Yehui had adopted her Fallen Angel as opposed to her t.i.tan Giant Ape form, which had greater defensive capabilities, and this was something that Tang Wulin had decided was the best course of action for her after some careful deliberation. Her t.i.tan Giant Ape form did indeed possess superior defensive prowess, but it also made her expand significantly in size, and that would increase the amount of energy a.s.sault that she would be afflicted by. As such, it was better for her to adopt her Fallen Angel form while Tang Wulin led from the front and s.h.i.+elded everyone to the best of his abilities.
With that prior experience under his belt, Tang Wulin forged ahead extremely quickly, withstanding the terrifying energy surging toward them from the front all on his own. However, the energy was omnipresent in this area, and it was buffeting them from all sides.
Everyone had activated their soul power, and Yue Zhengyu slashed his holy sword through the air, casting holy light over everyone aside from Yuanen Yehui. Even though the holy light shattered in an instant, it still bought them a split-second of time, and that was one less split second of this that they had to endure.
Ye Xinglan slashed her StarG.o.d Sword through the air, and specks of starlight surged through the surrounding area. Those specks of starlight also quickly shattered, and were only able to slightly alleviate the pressure.
Everyone was unleas.h.i.+ng their abilities while withstanding the agony surging through their bodies and following along closely behind Tang Wulin.
Due to the fact that they were all linked by Astral Chains, Tang Wulin could sense the amount of energy being expended by everyone, and this energy expenditure was evenly distributed among him and his friends. Tang Wulin was leading from the front, and he was expending energy at a far faster rate than when he was making this charge alone.
At a time like this, he couldn't afford to be conservative. He took a deep breath, and one of the golden bloodline soul rings beneath his feet lit up, unleas.h.i.+ng his Violent Golden Dragon Domain, which caused his body to instantly swell to three meters in height.
His expanded body had also become a lot burlier compared to his normal form, and was able to speed up while s.h.i.+elding even more of the destructive energy from his friends.
With the support from the energy of his six friends, the agony that he was experiencing was significantly alleviated, and he thrust his Golden Dragon Spear forward, unleas.h.i.+ng his Golden Dragon Shocks the Heavens to carve out a path. A loud dragon's roar rang out to directly oppose the destructive energy surging toward them, and his body began to tremor violently.
With every step he took, the pressure continued to mount, but all seven of them were withstanding this pressure together.
Tang Wulin transferred his Golden Dragon Spear to his left hand, and brilliant golden light erupted from his scales as he summoned his right golden dragon claw before unleas.h.i.+ng his Golden Dragon Dreadclaw attack. However, in contrast to what the attack had been like in the past, when he unleashed his Golden Dragon Dreadclaws on this occasion, his golden dragon claws seemed to flicker in an illusionary manner. In that split second, his golden dragon claws had actually swiped through the air nine times in rapid succession.
This was his Golden Dragon Brandishes its Claws among his Nine Arts of the Golden Dragon, [This is actually not the first time this has appeared in the story, it first appeared in Chapter 174 and it should've been translated in this paragraph ”Soul power surged and the Golden Dragon Claw struck out!”, but the previous author must've neglected to translate it, so I'm naming it now.] and he combined it with his Golden Dragon Dreadclaws to invent this new technique, which he'd named Golden Dragon Annihilation. The air up ahead was instantly torn to shred, and even the destructive energy surging toward them was vanquished. Tang Wulin's blood essence power was also dramatically drained by that attack.
”Eat your buns!” He roared as he thrust his Golden Dragon Spear forward and unleashed his Golden Dragon Takes Flight.
He used his Golden Dragon Annihilation to break through s.p.a.ce, then unleashed his Golden Dragon Takes Flight to carve out a path for his friends.
Everyone followed along closely behind him while consuming their Bloodthirsty Red Bean Bun and St.u.r.dy Crystal Buns. A layer of crystalline material quickly appeared over everyone's suits of battle armor to keep the destructive energy at bay.
This was also the first time that Tang Wulin had consumed the St.u.r.dy Crystal Bun, and its effects were far more potent than he'd antic.i.p.ated. He felt as if he had donned an additional suit of armor, and the destructive energy was breaking down the crystalline layer as well, but the material was being worn away at a far slower rate than their own defenses.
With the enhancements of the Violent Golden Dragon Domain, the Bloodthirsty Red Bean Buns, and the St.u.r.dy Crystal Buns, the pressure on everyone was alleviated significantly, and they were able to charge onward full speed ahead.
During the early stages of cultivation, food-type Soul Masters possessed the least combat prowess, and the enhancements they could provide to others were also far less effective than those provided by Soul Masters that could directly enhance on through their soul skills. However, as their cultivation ranks progressed, the strengths of food-type Soul Masters would gradually become more and more apparent. Their enhancements were more direct, lasted longer, and had less side-effects. Furthermore, there was no danger of the enhancements being prematurely cut off.
It was even more difficult for food system Soul Masters to cultivate than it was for support system Soul Masters. They required more abundant soul power to improve their cultivation ranks, but once food system Soul Masters reached a certain level, they would definitely become more useful than support system Soul Masters.
