"Yes, Father."
Qiangu Dongfeng nodded in response, and in the next instant, the unyielding aura of the Coiling Dragon Staff erupted from both of their bodies.
The two Limit Douluos were undoubtedly the most powerful beings on this entire battlefield, and in terms of numbers, the Spirit Pagoda camp had more than twice the number of people the Shrek Academy camp had. The Shrek Academy camp was already missing Ye Xinglan and Xu Lizhi, and they had participated in a series of grueling battles not long ago, so they were at a very clear disadvantage.
"Wulin, I'll buy you some time; get out of here with everyone else," A'Ruheng said as he stepped forward, and his body instantly began to expand.
With his Invincible Vajra Body, his stamina and defensive prowess were definitely unmatched.
A'Ruheng had already made this decision as soon as he caught sight of the Spirit Pagoda camp. Regardless of how well enforced this area was, there was a chance that Tang Wulin and the others would be able to break out of it. Furthermore, he had some knowledge of Tang Wulin's connection with the tree of life, and he knew that he had to create an opportunity for everyone.
Right at this moment, a peerlessly domineering aura that was filled with boundless pride and reckless abandon suddenly erupted from behind A'Ruheng.
Qiangu Dieting and Qiangu Dongfeng's auras were already extremely astonishing, but for some reason, the Coiling Dragon Staves in their hands began to tremble uncontrollably in the face of this aura, as if they were in fear.
Qiangu Dieting and Qiangu Dongfeng couldn't help but exchange a bewildered glance upon seeing this.One's aura was related to their power, but this relationship wasn't absolute. Upon reaching a certain level, each Soul Master would possess a unique will, and this will would determine their power. The more powerful a Soul Master was, the more formidable their will was going to be.
At this moment, the will being displayed by Tang Wulin was similar in nature to the Battling Heaven and Earth of the Qiangu Family, but it completely dominated Qiangu Dieting and Qiangu Dongfeng.
As a quasigod, Qiangu Dieting had already cultivated Battling Heaven and Earth to its extreme limit, yet Tang Wulin's aura was superior to his! What did this entail? It entailed that at this moment, his aura had exceeded the quasigod level and was infinitely approaching a divine caliber.
How was this possible? He wasn't even a Limit Douluo yet!
The two Limit Douluos were instantly intimidated by this, and they reflexively held back the attacks they were about to unleash with their Coiling Dragon Staves.
Tang Wulin patted A'Ruheng on the shoulder before stepping around him.
At this moment, Qiangu Dieting was appraising Tang Wulin with scorching intensity in his eyes. The aura being displayed by Tang Wulin was what he had been searching for for all these years! If he could also possess an aura of this caliber, then perhaps he would be able to make that final breakthrough, and that was more important to him than anything else.
"Where does this aura of yours come from?" Qiangu Dieting asked in an eager manner.
Where did it come from?
A figure surfaced in Tang Wulin's mind.
This figure was one of the three opponents his father had faced during the third trial of the Sea God.
Tang Wulin could clearly recall that figure's unmatched pride and domineering intent. He was also armed with a staff, but heaven and earth seemed to bow down to him.Through his battle with Guan Yue, Tang Wulin had developed a deeper understanding of the auras of those three formidable beings. Tang Wulin knew that his father had intentionally guided him into his spiritual world through their connection. Tang San didn't get a chance to explain anything to him at the time, but those three auras were definitely of the divine caliber, and observing them had helped Tang Wulin in very subtle yet profound ways.
His battle with Guan Yue turned out to be the catalyst for an instant of enlightenment, thereby allowing him to naturally utilize these three auras in his own battles.
Even though he had only just developed this ability and wasn't able to integrate it with his Dragon Emperor Restriction Techniques yet, just the aura alone was enough to intimidate Qiangu Dieting and Qiangu Dongfeng.
Just as Qiangu Dieting suspected, the three auras that Tang Wulin had witnessed were indeed of the divine caliber, and those three gods had been able to pose a substantial threat even to the godking-level Tang San, so they were clearly no ordinary gods themselves; it was very likely that they were also of the godking level.
As such, interpreting their auras had assisted Tang Wulin greatly, but not in terms of absolute power. Instead, it was a fundamental improvement that could elevate him to a whole new level.
Just like in the case of his Restrict Life and Death, Dragon Emperor Charge, if he could cultivate this technique to its limit, then it would be a divine technique that was not inferior to the likes of Unpredictable Storm.
As he released this domineering aura, he had already visualized the first half of his next Dragon Emperor Restriction Technique; it was going to be Restrict Heaven and Earth! As for the rest, that would have to be developed through more enlightenment and experimentation.
"Do you really think you've won?" Tang Wulin asked with a smile, and no matter how one looked at him, he didn't bear the appearance of someone who had fallen into a lethal trap.
A cold light flashed through Qiangu Dongfeng's eyes. "There's no use in trying to stall for time. Even if the Battle God Hall refrains from participating in this battle, there's no way you'll be able to get away. Even with the aura you've displayed, you're still not a Limit Douluo yet. If you do become a Limit Douluo in the future, perhaps you'll be the second Yun Ming, but you're still too young, and this is where your journey ends."
Tang Wulin sighed, "I am indeed very young, but that doesn't mean that I'm naive. On top of that, there are so many seniors supporting me; how could they allow me to make such simple and obvious mistakes? You had already begun plotting against us when you suggested to the federal parliament to force our Tang Sect into participating in this war. You intentionally leaked the news that Eternal Heaven was going to be used in the war, and you knew that for advocates of peace like our Shrek Academy and Tang Sect, the last thing we wanted to see was for Eternal Heaven to be used on the Star Luo Empire.
"On top of that, Shrek City was destroyed by a godslayer missile, so we hold the utmost contempt for these weapons. Your thought process was entirely correct. You used these factors against us, and I'll admit that you did it very well. When we first received this news, our initial thought was to circumvent this war, which led us to the plan of targeting Eternal Heaven, thereby luring us into your trap."
Qiangu Dongfeng's eyes narrowed slightly upon hearing this. At this moment, he wasn't in a hurry to strike anymore. With the power displayed by Tang Wulin and A'Ruheng's Invincible Vajra Body, even the Spirit Pagoda camp would have to expend a significant price to take down the Shrek Academy. However, if he could crush his opponents on a psychological basis first, then everything would become much easier.
"Keep going; what happened next?" Qiangu Dongfeng made an inviting hand gesture as a smile appeared on his face.
Tang Wulin shrugged in response. "After that, you continued to lure us deeper into your trap, even going as far as to intentionally leak the fact that Eternal Heaven was being guarded by the Sea God Legion. I must admit that your plan was watertight; you even used the history between Elder Long and the Boundless Ocean Douluo to your advantage. I don't know how you managed to convince the Boundless Ocean Douluo, but your plan was already halfway to success once you persuaded the Boundless Ocean Douluo to lie to Elder Long and tell her that Eternal Heaven was situated on the 18th level of the Battle God Hall.
"I'm sure your Spirit Pagoda had to expend quite a heavy price for this, right?"
