Dragon King of Apocalypse

Chapter 387: Enraged Universal Law

"A gate? Why is there a gate here?"

Sage King muttered and he wasn't the only one thinking this but all of the other creatures. Even the ones who could see the future like Yggdrasil and Klun, weren't able to foresee this event.

But only Yggdrasil and Zeref, the other Spirit Soul knew this was the Universe Law finding them. Although it came a lot later than last time, in the end, it still came with its nine-colored clouds rumbling about.

"Still... Why is it so hushed? Last time it didn't wait to strike down on Tang Wulin... But now it seems to be waiting."

Yggdrasil muttered to herself, staring at the heaven gate that was crackling merrily with nine-colored lightning. But even though it was silent, she could still feel the terrifying presence that it was emitting.

It scared every single creature on the abyssal plane, all of them except Tang Wulin who stared at it calmly.

"Wait... Is that the Universe Law?"

Raaul questioned in disbelief causing the other two first-class beings to grimace, recognizing the implications.

"Want to just observe for now huh?"

Tang Wulin's eyes began to turn deep, a dark-purple light began to shine fiercely in his right eye, forming a vortex inside of it. He began raising his right hand, moving it upwards in a circular motion while his hands started grabbing the destruction elements around.

"The end of Creation is Destruction..."

A layer of purple light began to bloom in his hand, the destruction elements swirling around and turning his right arm purple.

While this was happening, Tang Wulin was raising his left hand upwards, as his left eye began to form a whitish-green vortex. A deep breath of life rose as greenish-white elements began to appear in Tang Wulin hands, giving off the pleasant feeling of life and creation.

"The end of Destruction is Creation..."

The movement of Tang Wulin hands began forming a trail that was turning into a glowing halo of dark purple and whitish-green.

The First Class Gods around Tang Wulin all sense his movement as well as the energy in his hand that made them tremble uncontrollably. In the next moment, they all instantly backed up when they saw his hands reaching the top, opposite of each other.

'Forbidden.'

A surge of life and destruction spread through the whole floor as all of the elements that were destruction and life began to lit up. Turning the whole first floor is a mix of purple and green, brilliantly illuminating it.

Countless particles of life and destruction begin passing by the creatures on the first floor as if they were fireflies flying around.

'Creation and Destruction.'

Tang Wulin hands began to move down, life at the top and destruction at the bottom, moving towards each other. As this was happening, two figures began appearing behind Tang Wulin, a hand on both of his shoulders.

They were none other than Sheng Meng and Hui Mei who both glanced at each other with a faint smile before looking at Tang Wulin.

'Dragon Emperor.'

They watched as his hands moved down to clasp together, their pleasant smiles grew even more before they reached their hand out.

Touching the hand of Tang Wulin, the one that represents their element, with Tang Wulin hands finally touching each other.

'True Creation!'

In the next instant, a strange pale pink exploded from Tang Wulin, covering the whole realm in a divine and noble aura.

The energy was swirling through the floor, leaving everyone shocked as they felt a terrifying yet divine power sweeping past them.

The True Creation began to shape and take form in Tang Wulin hands, forming into a vortex that began to rise. It twisted and turned before forming a pale-pink spear that was glittering and shining.

'God-King!'

The Sage King and the other First Class beings felt the glittering spear in Tang Wulin's hand was giving off the power of a God-King.

It was as if with this one move, Tang Wulin was able to cross the impossible boundary of a First-Class to a God-King.

Tang Wulin had said nothing before he hurled the spear towards the heaven gate above him. The Spear of True Creation instantly arrived in front of the heaven gate before puncturing right through it.

Not even being able to withstand the spear for even a second.

The spear had given off a pale light before it exploded in True Creation, instantly sweeping through the nine-colored clouds above.

The whole sky was illuminated in a pink halo before it began fading away.

The heaven gate and the nine-colored clouds were gone, destroyed, and absorbed by the True Creation that held the power of a God-King.

This left everyone shocked.

But before anyone could comment, the sky began to rumble once more, this time it was far louder and terrifying than before.

The clouds that were destroyed before, started to reform once again but this time it was different than before.

There were no heaven gates but a whole battlefield!

They saw countless banners appearing out of the clouds, all in various shapes and forms. Weapons appeared out of the cloud, covered with various colors of blood, some were red, some green, and others golden.

It was then countless creatures began appearing from the clouds, some holding various weapons and clothed in armor. Some of them even had wisps of immortal qi wrapping around their weapons, staring down at them.

Above these figures, were countless moons and burning suns, illuminating the sky alongside stars that were giving off a brilliant light.

The Universe Law was enraged at this moment.

"...Do you know what you just did? Pissing off the Universe Law will only lead this floor to be destroyed!"

The Sage King roared at Tang Wulin who was staring above with the True Creation still swirling around him. The Sage King didn't care that Tang Wulin was going to die from the Universe Law.

But he did care about how angry the Universe Law was, fearing it may lead to the destruction of his Abyssal Realm.

As it might just annihilate everything, just to appease its anger...

Tang Wulin only glanced at the Sage King before he let out a sigh.

"You shouldn't be worrying about that right now."

"What-"

'Forbidden Supernatural, Dragon Emperor Crush.'

In the next moment, the sounds of something being ruthlessly crushed rang out as everything around Tang Wulin froze.

The eyes of the Sage King were wide as he felt his strength being ruthlessly suppressed. No longer it was at the First Class Level but being suppressed down to an early God Officer.

It wasn't just his strength but also his divine sense and abilities, no longer as strong as before. And this affected everyone that was around Tang Wulin, including the other two First-Class beings.

Tang Wulin figure then vanished from the eyes of the Sage King, appearing behind him with his hand thrust out, striking him away.

Before vanishing again, appearing behind Klun and Raaul, smashing them both away as well, sending them straight into the mountains.

Then Tang Wulin appeared behind Yggdrasil and the others who were still staring at the clouds with some of them shifting their head to where he used to be. As they noticed the commotion that he caused when he utilizes his Forbidden Tech.

Tang Wulin waved his hand causing space to shatter, swallowing up all of them before he closed it.

Just as Klun and Raaul smashed into the mountain, the Sage King entered the hill, shaking up the floor and raising the ground.

All of this happened in one second.

"You pest!"

The hill was instantly shattered as a terrifying destruction aura spread out, the figure of the Sage King could be seen. His Heaven Saint Cracked halberd was crackling with destruction energy as he felt his power regaining its original might.

The two mountains that Klun and Raaul were sent crashing into were destroyed, their auras also peaking and crackling.

But Tang Wulin only responded with a wave of his hand, golden specs of light began to spread and swirl around Tang Wulin.

Just as the sky above began to rumble as causing the Sage King and the others to look up.

They saw the creatures, weapons, and the stars that were hanging above them began releasing killing intent that wasn't there before.

The creatures all held their weapons before rushing down, while the weapons that were releasing killing intent pierced down. The whole sky became bathed in a myriad of colors that released overflowing killing intent as the weapons hacked down.

"What kind of tribulation is this? This is-"

A spear that had golden blood surrounding its tip, hacked down on the Sage King who had to instantly raise his halberd.

In the next instant, the halberd and the spear clashed causing the Sage King to grit his teeth. Before he pushed it back and hacked out to his left with his halberd, clashing with an ax that broke through space.

The Sage King erupted with destruction, his aura, and halberd surge with destruction that began to destroy the ax. As well as the spear that kept on trying to pierce through him but just as he did this, a creature with a halberd hacked down on him.

Forcing the Sage King to bring up his halberd to defend against it.

'Why did it attack me first! Shouldn't Tang Wulin be the main center of its anger?'

But if that wasn't all, even more of these creatures came down upon him. As well as the weapons that were hacking down, trying to pierce and cleave him into pieces.

Klun and Raaul weren't having a good time either, clashing with the relentless stream of stars that were rushing down. As well as the descending sun and moon that were exploding on contact as their divine weapons hacked out.

'Why are we fighting them! Wasn't he the one who pissed it off!'

The Sage King divine sense was able to see Klun and Raaul facing these attacks. Yet Tang Wulin wasn't, all of the weapons, creatures, and descending stairs and the sun weren't attacking Tang Wulin at all.

As if they didn't even see him as he moved across the floor.

The Sage King saw that Tang Wulin was trying to escape, he would have tried to stop him but the endless attacks were making it hard.

'Damn it! Did he really have to piss off the Universe Law.'

The only person who could stop Tang Wulin was Klun who was in his way, the place that Tang Wulin sent it flying to.

Klun began moving towards Tang Wulin, wishing to have the lightning and creatures notice Tang Wulin, diverting the attention from it.

Yet it felt its divine sense triggering as it saw Tang Wulin raising his finger and pointing towards Klun.

'Forbidden Heavenly Paradise, Dragon Emperor Misery.'

A formless brilliant light shot out from Tang Wulin finger, instantly rushing towards Klun whose expression changed. Klun allowed itself to get damaged by one of the heavenly soldiers who wielded a sword.

Before using this opportunity to push the creature in front of it, just as the formless golden light struck. Klun watched as the soldier's eyes began to blur before it turned vacant and then a second later it dispersed.

This moment allowed Tang Wulin to move past Klun who was forced to let him go as even more creatures descended on it.

'Why aren't they attacking him!'

"Is this how you wish to end it! Fight when you're ahead but run when times get tough!"

Sage King roared out towards Tang Wulin, hoping to at least make him pause or bait him. But Tang Wulin didn't pause or glance back, he simply raised his fist before punching out.

Shattering the space and moving into it.

Klun, Raaul, and the Sage King cursed at this but their scalps became numb as lightning began to hack down on them.

But it wasn't any type of lighting but a nine-colored one terrified even them! Lightning was filled with endless killing intent, wishing to eradicate all below.

'Chaos Lightning! Chaos Heavenly Tribulation appeared! But why, it only appears when someone is undergoing a breakthrough-'

"Was this caused by his breakthrough? Did his breakthrough show the potential of a God-King!"

The Sage King muttered in disbelief while hacking out with his halberd, which produced a wave of destruction that clashed with the lighting.

It was then a streak of nine-colored lightning, big as a kilometer, cut through the air. The lightning was surging with terrifying might as it tore apart the void, hacking down on Raaul.

As the thunderous noise resounded out, Raaul was forced to face the lightning with Onyx Cal in his hand. The sword and lightning colliding, a deafening noise erupted from the two as their energy sent a shockwave through the floor.

The three First-Class beings had to grit their teeth while their soldiers were being slaughtered down below. Even though they were fearless, the lightning army was too massive, more descending from the clouds, numbers starting to block out the sky.

It was if they were an army that was stretching endlessly even with the prowess of the three First Class Beings. It was difficult to fight this many enemies that were starting to submerge them, all of them roaring with nine-colored lightning.

Yet they continue doing their best, trying to persevere.

In a dark void, Tang Wulin was moving forward as he followed a set of white steps that was leading him to a portal in front. His expression was calm, staring straight ahead even as Zeref appeared next to him and began to speak up.

"You use the Marco Curse on them, didn't you? It's why the Universe Law attacked them because it was able to sense their energy inside of you, making it think it was you. While you hid with the faith energy... But I doubt you did it to get away from the law, that isn't like you or well it was."

Zeref glanced at Tang Wulin but found Tang Wulin didn't say or give him any reaction. But this didn't discourage Zeref, as he continued with his analysis.

"If I had to guess, you did it to divert the Universe Law attention away from you. By giving them the Macro sign which held your own wisp and creation energy inside. You made it so the Universe Law would believe there were multiple copies of you and make it attack all of them... But normally that wouldn't work, since the Universe Law would easily be able to tell the difference."

Zeref eyes narrowed as he began to recall Tang Wulin action of throwing the spear at the nine-colored clouds.

"So that's why you piss it off. It wasn't just to get it to attack early, was it? You did it to cloud its judgment and make it strike out at the energy that attacked it... You set it off to the point where it would be too enraged to care about trying to search... But I don't think it's that simple, the amount of energy you poured into the Macro symbol seemed way too much for just a distraction. Could it be you want the Universe Law to keep attacking them?"

Zeref questioned, but Tang Wulin still didn't say anything or turn to him causing Zeref to let out an exasperated sigh.

But it was then Tang Wulin began to speak.

"It will take them a week to realize why they're being attacked and another three weeks for them to completely remove the Macro inside of them. Giving me a month."

"Why that long? Wait, I see now. It's because of how much energy you poured into them right? Considering how strong you are, compared to them, they would need to utilize most if not all of their energy just to break it instantly. But that is practically impossible with the Universe Law constantly striking at them."

"But how do you know they would last that long-"

Zeref's eyes had widened before he nodded his head as began to see the reason for Tang Wulin action. Why he didn't just slaughter the First Class beings, why he allowed them to heal themselves and never pressed the advantage.

To begin with, he wasn't getting used to his new abilities or was trying to relish the fight. He was simply testing out their strength, trying to gauge how strong they were and how capable they were.

It was through that battle that he was able to guess how long those First-Class beings would last and how much energy he needed to pour into the mark. To make it so they couldn't instantly break it or break it too fast.

'Wait... But how did he know he would have enough time before the Universe Law came.'

"Did you sense the Universe Law coming before it actually came?"

"Yes, although It needed some help in finding us."

Zeref lips twitch at Tang Wulin words, honestly wondering just how strong his perception and instincts had gotten now. But as he heard the last part of Tang Wulin words, the gears in his mind began to turns.

'Was the fight also help the Universe Law find them? How did he know it would take a while before it found them... It would make sense and answers some more questions on why he kept the clash up with them.'

"You plan it all... You were going to use those First Class beings as your cover for the month, to do what you want. While you do whatever you want, they will be fending off the Universe Law attacks for you, basically becoming your shields..."

Zeref didn't know if he should feel bad or sorry for those First Class beings. Not only were they not treated as an opponent for Tang Wulin or an actual threat. But they were simply seen as pawns for his plan, a safety shield for him.

'When they find out. They will most likely launch an all-out strike on the Douluo Planet, too enraged at Tang Wulin action to care. But I'm sure he knows this... He knows this will only buy him a month, could there be something more?'

"What are you planning?"

"You will see, now are you going to ask the question you've been wanting to? Or are you going to keep dragging this on?"

"...Okay then, how much of you is left?"

It was an odd question, one that could mean many different things. But Tang Wulin already knew what Zeref meant and what he was alluding to.

"Enough."

This time Tang Wulin glanced back at Zeref, who stared at him for what felt like an eternity. Both of them held their gaze before Zeref nodded his head with a faint smile on his face.

"Alright."

In the next second, they reached the portal and went through it.

#

The sky was ivory lit with an ivory moon and sun hanging above, it's light shining down over the rows of buildings and spires. If Ling Zichen was here, she would have marveled at the alien and foreign structure, that had strange buildings and organisms down below.

Space showed visible cracks before it shattered, Tang Wulin appearing out of the void.

"This is?"

"The Mortuus home plane, Ukadan. It's a Semi-Divine plane that is on a similar level to the Abyssal Plane but it was recently damaged by Typhoon. So at the moment, it can't match the Abyssal Plane."

"Typhoon damaged it? Could they be running from it? Nevermind that, why are we here?"

Tang Wulin didn't answer Zeref, instead, he began to raise both of his hands that were glowing with green and purple light. Rotating his arm as the destruction and life element began to respond, illuminating the whole sky in a unique mix of purple and green.

"Wait... What are you-"

Zeref fell silent as he felt the energy around Tang Wulin becoming stronger and stronger before the two lights clashed with each other.

Then the whole sky erupted in a dark-purple light!

Zeref felt a horrifying presence erupting from the light, a tyrannical and sacred feeling was felt from this light. A gigantic dark-purple halo began forming above. That shook the sky while causing the laws to tremble.

'Forbidden Destruction and Creation.'

The dark-purple light began forming a long-javelin in Tang Wulin's hand; the space around it was instantly erased.

'Dragon Emperor.'

Tang Wulin hurled the javelin downwards, producing a thin line that obliterated everything in its path as it moved down to the civilization below him.

'True Destruction.'

In the next moment, it struck civilization and everything was consumed in a dark-purple light that covered the whole world. This new Forbidden Technique he made was able to invoke the powers of True Creation and True Destructions.

It made through his Life Goddess, Destruction God, Golden Dragon King, Devil Slayer, Faith Energy, and his other polar opposite powers. Sheng Meng once told Tang Wulin if he was able to continue unlocking his Life and Destruction bloodline.

It may be possible for him to touch upon the True Creation and True Destruction which can only be invoked by God-King powers.

Just like his other Forbidden Techniques, this one came with variations and more abilities. Like the fact, he can utilize both True Creation and Destruction, without needing to make another Forbidden Technique.

The two fundamental power of the universe, which he was able to produce through the fusion of destruction and creation. It was a strange concept but make sense, since True Creation was birthed from Destruction trying to swallow Creation.

Vice-versa for True Destruction, where instead of Destruction trying to devour Creation, it would be the opposite. It could be seen as utilizing the polar reversal to bring out an even stronger form of these polar opposites.

While this was going on, Zeref starred in pity and Tang Wulin with a blank look.
