Chapter 726: The Vanished Small World and Tang Wulin (2/2)

What happened?

Tang Wulin assessed his surroundings in a dumbstruck manner, temporarily at a loss for what to do.

He could sense that something had to have happened to him during the period of time that he'd been unconscious, but he couldn't remember anything.

After a brief moment of contemplation, Tang Wulin released his bloodline aura, upon which he was stunned to witness four golden soul rings emerge from beneath his feet before revolving around his body.

Four rings?

How was this possible? He'd only just broken the sixth Golden Dragon King seal not long ago, thereby attaining the third ring; where had this fourth ring come from?

He hurriedly inspected the Golden Dragon King seals within his body and was shocked to find that two of them really were missing. Only 10 seals remained of the original 18, while the first eight seals had all vanished.

Could it be the dragon soul of the Dragon God? Had its power helped him break two seals in quick succession?

Tang Wulin didn't know how to react to this. It was obviously a good thing that he'd become more powerful, but he was only 15 years old and had already broken eight seals; what was going to become of him from now on?

He could still clearly recall the agony he'd suffered while breaking the sixth seal, and even though he didn't know how the seventh and eighth seals had been broken, the gashes that had appeared all over his body clearly indicated that it had been an extremely perilous process. He wanted to try and contact Old Tang, only to be greeted by silence, as if Old Tang had never even existed in the first place.

In the future, he naturally had to break the ninth seal. Tang Wulin didn't know how far ahead in the future that would be, and no one was around at present to give him an answer.

After a brief period of speechlessness, Tang Wulin gradually came to terms with his current situation. What had happened was irreversible, so there was no point lamenting over it. After all, it wasn't like he could redo the seals.

As opposed to crying over spilled milk, it was much better to keep facing forward and improving oneself. He had thought that breaking the seventh seal would be slightly easier after absorbing so much energy from dragon clouds and dragon souls, but who would've thought that he'd be plunged into such a perilous situation anyway?

A thought suddenly occurred to Tang Wulin, and he released his golden dragon claws. After breaking the eighth seal, the Golden Dragon King scales on his body had clearly become thicker and heavier than before, and only through inspection at close quarters could he see the layer of enamel over his body, which was reflecting the light in a peculiar manner.

Thus, he climbed up the valley by alternating his claws. He wasn't in a hurry to use his dragon ball to get out of this place. Dai Yun'er was most likely safe as there would be a corpse lying around had she perished. As such, she had most likely only disappeared, which meant that she should've been teleported out of this small world by her dragon ball.

Now that the dragon soul of the Dragon God had disappeared, he wanted to climb out of the valley and see for himself what had happened to this small world.

After climbing to the top of the valley, Tang Wulin was greeted by the sight of a boundless expanse of dragon skeletons once again.

These skeletons still retained powerful dragon-type auras, as well as the bleakness that had once swayed Tang Wulin's emotions.

It took Tang Wulin a few days to arrive back at the edge of the dragon tomb, then climb his way to the top again. He could sense that something seemed to have changed within the Dragon Valley. The change most likely had something to do with the disappearance of the Dragon God's dragon soul, but he couldn't pinpoint exactly what had changed.

He had already reaped many rewards from this trip. As for a dragon soul bone, Tang Wulin had been very interested in something like that prior to coming here, but now, he had no intention of obtaining soul bones from these skeletons.

Was it time for him to leave?

Under normal circumstances, the fact that there were no more benefits to be derived from this place would be an indication that it was time to leave. However, there still seemed to be a massive weight on his chest, a weight that had been present from the moment he'd set foot in the dragon tomb.

The Golden Dragon King bloodline had made him who he was today, and if the Golden Dragon King really was a half of the Dragon God as the legends suggested, then he was technically a part of the dragon clan.

As such, it caused him immense discomfort to see so many dragon skeletons lying out in the open.

Whenever he'd battled anyone with dragon-type martial souls, his Golden Dragon King bloodline had always played a vital role in his victories. Only with the power of this bloodline had he been able to make it to where he was today. Without it, he didn't even know if he'd have the confidence to continue cultivating.
