Chapter 205: Evil Soul Masters Attack (1)
Blood flowed endlessly from the worn-torn sky as a huge body began to descend to the ground.
Alongside the body was Tang Wulin's figure as he crashed down into the ground. The golden-green color and radiance that has been swirling around him since the battle beginning, started fading away.
"Made it." Mutter Tang Wulin as he felt the energy that he gained from the plane, nature and the formation gradually leaving him.
Employing that much energy from the planet wasn't something he could do for an exceedingly long time, not only because of the stress he puts on the body.
But also because this was him utilizing the planet life energy to empower himself.
Still, it was strong enough to push his cultivation up to a Limit Douluo as the fight went on. This was mostly because of Sleipnir and Yggdrasil drawing upon the plane more and more.
Still, this was something he couldn't be careless with or it may just push forward the planet path towards its destruction.
'At least the damage to the planet isn't too bad.' Thought Tang Wulin as he glances all around.
He and everyone else already knew the battle between the Calamities will be very harmful to the surrounding environment.
It's not wrong to say, an Island or maybe even the continent may not be left.
"You ok?" Questioned Zeref as he appeared next to Tang Wulin.
'More or less.' Thought Tang Wulin as he began feeling his God Slayer Art getting stronger from the absorption of Fafnir Soul.
One of the big reasons he was able to become so strong back in Fiore was because of his slaughter of all the Dragons and him devouring there soul.
By devouring the soul of their respective beings, a Slayer could lower the time and effort needed to get stronger with their art.
Although he was a bit surprised, that Fafnir wasn't putting much of a fight. Or could this be the tyrannicalness of his God Slayer?
Either way, Tang Wulin wasn't complaining as he began standing back up.
"That was a close call, though." Said Zeref as he recalls the last minutes of the battle.
Trishula spear piercing through Fafnir's chest, as Fafnir claw was breaking through Tang Wulin head was something horrifying to watch.
Maybe only Zeref could understand how dangerous it was for Tang Wulin as he went in for the kill.
Even though he used backtracking to reverse time and escape death. Then using this moment to devour the Divine Soul of Fafnir, which was beginning to put up a fight.
That didn't mean Tang Wulin wasn't in any danger. As if he was too late or too early, his plan would have failed with him being unable to kill Fafnir.
Considering Tang Wulin's empowerment was running out even as he recalled. It would be hard to say, whether he would have been able to kill Fafnir or not if the plan failed.
"How Sleipnir and Yggdrasil?" Questioned Zeref after a bit of thinking.
'They're sleeping right now.' Thought Tang Wulin causing Zeref to nod his head.
Helping Tang Wulin with the plane and nature energy was something very taxing. Even more so when one considers they were extracting more energy to stop Fafnirs attack that was going to wipe out the continents.
"Wulin!"
Tang Wulin glance to the right to see Yun Ming and Qiangu Dongfeng moving towards him. It didn't take them longer than a few seconds to reach him.
"Amazing."Mutter Yun Ming as he glances around the ruined battlefield.
He already could tell the formation and barrier around the battlefield got destroyed from Fafnir and Tang Wulin's strongest clashed. He hoped the others were fine, as they needed to quickly move.
"...Fafnir."Mutter Qiangu Dongfeng as he stared at the headless body of the Calamity.
Out of all the Calamities, Fafnir was the one Qiangu Dongfeng hated the most. As this was the beast that caused the most damage and grief towards him.
Whether it be from the Spirit Pagoda, Qiangu Family or death of his disciples. All of these were fuel for Dongfeng's urge to slaughter all of them.
Even though he had this urge, deep down he knew and regretfully understands such a thing was impossible.
As to kill God, it is impossible. No, it was blasphemy as not only are their strength in another dimension but they are protected by the universe.
'But he did it.' Thought Qiangu Dongfeng as he turned towards Tang Wulin who was walking towards the body of Fafnir.
If someone told Dongfeng that the person who was going to help him claim his revenge was someone who was eighteen and a Soul Sage.
He would have directly executed that person while cursing them and their family.
"What are you doing?" Questioned Yun Ming as he saw Tang Wulin stretch his hand and vines began to erupt from the ground.
"Putting it away for now." Said Tang Wulin as the vines slowly began to wrap around Fafnir's body before bringing it into the ground.
"I see...Either way, you did an amazing job." Said Yun Ming with a sigh as he began recalling the battle.
The battle he saw was truly something that caused his heart to beat. One has to understand; he has lived for over two hundred years and fought in many terrifying battles.
Yet none of them could come close to the destructive and awe-inspiring level that Fafnir and Tang Wulin display.
Even the last minute of the fight was something that even frightens someone like him as he knew Tang Wulin was close to dying.
"Thank you, Tang Wulin." Said Qiangu Dongfeng and to Yun Ming surprise, he lightly bowed his head.
"Right." Said Tang Wulin with a nod of his before glancing all around.
"Run!" Shouted Tang Wulin as he dashed forward, with Yun Ming and Qiangu Dongfeng following behind him.
As in a matter of seconds, countless black shadows followed right behind them. All of them were emitting an ominous and terrifying aura.
"Where are you going now!"
"It's too late to escape!"
"Someone like you is too dangerous to allow to live!"
Were the shouts of the shadows that were tailing behind Tang Wulin, Qiangu Dongfeng and Yun Ming.
Tang Wulin was able to sense them with his spiritual sense and knew they were approaching after he killed Fafnir.
"Evil Soul Masters."Mutter Yun Ming in disgust but he didn't stop moving behind.
Qiangu Dongfeng didn't say anything but his gaze was becoming colder by the seconds, while Tang Wulin kept on moving ahead.
"Split up!" Shouted Tang Wulin as he saw that the Evil Soul Masters were gaining on them. Both Quasi Gods nodded their heads before dashing off to the side.
"Don't run!"
"To think that the Spirit Pagoda and Sea Pavilion Masters are fleeing?"
"Sad, very sad. It seems Shrek isn't as strong as we all thought."
Yun Ming's expression slightly distorted but he still didn't stop running, as the group of Evil Masters also began to split up.
"You guys go after the youth. Right now he should be too weak to keep this up. We will take care of Yun Ming and Dongfeng."Shouted one of the people with a black clock causing the others to nod their heads.
Fifteen Evil Soul Masters chased after Tang Wulin, while two went after Yun Ming and Qiangu Dongfeng.
The Evil Soul Masters chasing after Tang Wulin all looked towards him in hatred but there was a bit of awe and fear in their eyes.
How could they not be in awe?
How could they not be scared?
Someone was able to do the thing, some thought was impossible. The youth that they were chasing was able to slay one of the Calamities.
The beings who the Federation revealed were beings who reached the level of the Gods.
The Evil Soul Master heard and witnesses the aftereffect of the Calamities throughout the whole Douluo Continent.
This was one of the reasons that the continent became so filled with despair and also why their recruitment was easier.
Did they care if the Calamities continue wreaking havoc? Did they care about a large number of deaths? Did they care about the damage to the Planet? The answer to all of these questions was no.
To them, the Calamities might as well be their gods. As it through there intervention that all of the greatest power have become too weak to keep their cult in check.
So imagine there surprise and fear, when someone was able to fight equally with their 'God' and even slay him. Not that but that same person wasn't even in his twenties.
Such talent was too terrifying!
Which is why they were willing to give up on killing the Sea God Pavilion and Spirit Pagoda Master.
So what if they lived for now?
In the next few decades, as long as the Calamities were still alive. The Evil Soul Masters all believed they will be able to nurture people that are strong enough to match and kill these two figures.
"Blame yourself for being so formidable." Said One of the black-robe Evil Soul Masters with a vicious grin.
"After he dies, I wonder how strong we will become after draining the Soul Energy from his body. Such a powerful figure should be able to boost all of our strength by two realms." Said Another Evil Soul Masters.
"Still."
"How unfortunate for a talent like him. He would have been able to reach the same heights as the Spirit Pagoda Master and the Atlas Douluo."Said an Evil Soul Master while shaking his head.
Tang Wulin could hear all of there talks, but he ignores it and continue moving forward.
At the same moment, he still maintains his calm expression while he slowly began to recover the lost Spiritual and Soul Energy.
His body was also recovering, with it gradually recovering from the stress of wielding various power in the fight with Fafnir. This was one of the reasons he could escape or blitz any of these Evil Soul Masters.
It would be absurd for him to be able to wield so many powers and still be fine after fighting such an earth-shattering battle.
'What a pain.' Thought Tang Wulin before he tilted his head as a blood-red chain pierce over to where his head was before.
"Curses!"
"So close!"
"Stop struggling! Just accept your death!"
'So noisy.' Thought Tang Wulin while evading the long-range attacks of the Evil Soul Master.
'They better hurry up.'

Bang!
A figure was pushed back by the sweeping of a glittering white spear.
"To think, you would surpass the previous master."Mutter the black robe figure as he looks towards the Atlas Douluo.
"...So you appeared now."Mutter Yun Ming as he stared at the figure who wore a gray armor which was covered with a black cape.
"Oh? You recognize me?" Questioned the man cloaked in a black robe that wasn't able to hide his exceptionally handsome, even beautiful face.
"Don't play dumb with me. We have been looking for you, Underworld King Douluo Ha Luosa."Said Yun Ming coldly as he began to grip his spear even tighter.
"As expected of you, Sea God Pavilion Master." Said Ha Luosa in a cold voice as his long black hair fell out of the black-robe.
"To think you would join the Holy Spirit Cult."Mutter Yun Ming with a shake of his head.
"Well, I'm not the only one with surprises. To think you guys would have been able to slay that Calamity. It makes one both surprised and envious." Said Ha Luosa with a shake of the head.
"Tell me something, Sea God Pavillion Master. How did that child become the champion of the plane?" Questioned Ha Luosa causing Yun Ming to narrow his eyes.
"None of your business."
"...Well it matters not, the child should be dead or close to dying." Said Ha Luosa with a cruel smile.
'As the figures that are pursuing him are all Hyper Douluo. And considering how weak he should be after that fight with Fafnir, the cult will have one less terrifying figure against us.' Ha Luosa with a cruel smile.
"I wouldn't be so sure of that." A voice rang out causing Ha Luosa expression to change as felt a maelstrom and torrent coming his way.
He instantly hacks out with his tin and long cruciform sword, which was gray and translucent that shined with a grayish glow.
Bang!
"Boundless Sea Douluo! You didn't get injured from that huge blast."Muttered Ha Luosa as he was sent skidding back.
"How could I die in such a lame way? But to think you would be brave enough to come here, Ha Luosa. " Said Chen Xinjie with a scoff.
"If you are okay...Don't tell me."Mutter Ha Luosa with eyes becoming colder and a grey wisp of energy spreading out from him.
"Don't tell me you believe we would be stupid enough to not factor in you guys?" Questioned Chen Xinjie with a sneer before dashing forward.
"Just die."
