Dragon King of Apocalypse

Chapter 278: Formless

"Oh? You plan to hunt down them now?"

"Planning to focus most of our attention on them now. We did have people seeking them and following their trails but most of our attention was generally on the calamities."Said Yun Ming with the other Sea God Pavilion members nodding their head.

While the Holy Spirit Cult was a threat to them, at the moment, they couldn't compare to the unknown dangers of the calamities.

Of course, this didn't mean in time they couldn't reach the calamities level of danger or surpass it.

"Have you guys found out anything else about their organization?" Questioned Tang Wulin.

"Unfortunately no. We only have gotten bits and bits about their members and layout of the organization but nothing that important."Said Elder Cai causing Tang Wulin to nod his head before speaking.

"I think I may have met one of their fractions back in Endless Mountain." Said Tang Wulin causing everyone's eyes to widen.

"What happened?" Questioned Yun Ming with his eyes narrowing, slightly eager to gain any information on them.

Tang Wulin began telling of his encounter with the evil soul masters, their views on him, and how they wanted him to join them.

"...They wanted you to join them?" Xie Xie's voice rang out in disbelief with his not being the only one.

As the others also questioned what he said either through their expression or them blurting it out.

"They did." Said Tang Wulin.

"Even though you are a part of Shrek and have been the one that has been killing the Calamities?" Questioned Zang Xin with a raised brow.

Tang Wulin only shrugged his shoulders at the time, even though he was a bit confused about why they wanted him to join.

"The way the women talked, it felt like she didn't want to kill me or anyone like the other Evil Soul Masters but have us join her fraction." Said Tang Wulin.

"Maybe she wanted to increase her fraction strength? Hmm, could there be infighting going on?"Questioned Long Yeyue but Tang Wulin only shrugged his shoulders.

"Well, either way, we at least know some info about one of the fractions. Well, for now, we're going to have collaborated with the others to start the search for the cult.''Said Yun Ming, causing the people inside to nod their heads.

"What do you plan to do?" Questioned Yun Ming with a complicated look at Tang Wulin.

Tang Wulin at the moment in his eyes could be considered an expert in the world even though he only had a Spirit Douluo cultivation.

Not only that but with his Dragon Form, he can be considered unrivaled in this world, so he wasn't worried about him that much.

After all, the Holy Spirit Cult may try and destroy Tang Wulin in the foreseeing future as he is a threat to them.

"Are you asking if I plan to help with the Holy Spirit Cult?"

"Yes, I am sure you're not one to wait idly before a threat attacks you." Said Yun Ming as he knew that the Holy Spirit Cult would be gunning for Wulin.

"Don't worry, I plan to get rid of those pests but first, I gotta do some errands." Said Tang Wulin, causing Yun Ming to raise a brow.

"Those are?"

"Don't worry about it, just a bit of cleaning up and their future training." Said Tang Wulin as he glances at his friends who were on the side with a smile.

Yet for some reason, most of them felt a shiver run their spines as they heard the words of Tang Wulin.

This, of course, wasn't missed by all of the top-level cultivators who noted their reactions causing all of them to be confused.

"I knew he didn't count!"

It was only after an hour that everyone was leaving the Sea God Pavilion, all with an understanding of what they needed to do. Tang Wulin and his group were walking away from the Pavilion, making their way back to the academy.

At the moment, Yue Zhengyu had an enormous smile on his face after announcing those words and confusing everyone in their group.

"You mean Wulin? Count for what?"Questioned Xu Lizhi who was walking behind Yue Zhengyu.

"In our group when it comes to talent and looks, he is tech, a god, so he doesn't count. Which means I am still the most handsome and talented!"Yue Zhengyu said in front of everybody while laughing as they move forward.

"Bullshit! Who is more talented and handsome!"Shouted Xie Xie as he glared at Yue Zhengyu who only shook his head while sending Xie Xie a look of pity.

"You poor clown, I know you aren't as handsome and talented as me. But you don't need to show your jealousy so much."

"What!"

Predictably, Xie Xie and Yue Zhengyu got into their usual bickering which nobody mine as it made the mood even better.

"You all might as well ask." Mutter Tang Wulin those around him, more specifically the people he was dating.

"Alright, why didn't you tell us you were the son of Tang San before? Why did we have to find out like that?` Questioned Mu Xi with a slight frown causing Tang Wulin to glance at her.

"Would it change the way we interact or anything at all?"

"No, not really but that isn't the point." Said Mu Xi with a sigh causing Tang Wulin to raise a brow.

"What is the point?"

"What elder sis is trying to say is, it's more of the fact that you didn't tell us this. We had to find out like everyone else. Normally this wouldn't affect us much, but this is about your family, more specifically your father."Said Xu Xiaoyan with a faint pout.

"At the very least we are in an intimate relationship, these are things that we would want to know. Of course, I understand it's a secret but it just makes me feel... I dunno irritated?" Mu Xi let out a sigh.

"Well, I wouldn't say I minded it, to be honest. At the very least, it didn't seem to change or say add anything else other than we know he has another family."Said Ye Xinglan with a shrug causing Mu Xi to raise a brow.

"Doesn't bother you at all?"

"Nope."

"I agree with Xinglan. I don't see the point of getting or being bothered by it." Said Wu Siduo as she didn't see the point of stressing over the information.

Ultimately, Wulin was still Wulin in her eyes.

"What about you guys?" Mu Xi shifted her gaze to Gu Yue and Na'er who only shrugged her shoulder while Na'er only smiled.

"Doesn't matter to us." Said Gu Yue with Na'er nodding along causing Mu Xi to let out a sigh as she held her head.

'These people.'

"You guys should have asked then." Tang Wulin's voice and words rang through Mu Xi mind causing her to glare at him.

Na'er and Xu Xiaoyan only giggled as both knew that was simply how Wulin was, he wouldn't say anything unless you ask him.

"While I can't promise I will be able to tell you everything, I do say I will answer anything you ask me."

"So if we ask, you will tell?" Questioned Ye Xinglan with a raised brow.

"What I can, yes." Said Tang Wulin causing Ye Xinglan to nod her head but she didn't say anything else.

It wasn't just her but the other girls didn't question him, even Mu Xi didn't say anything and simply encircled her arms around his.

With her still glaring at him, as they walked.

"Well, now that isn't true, Zhengyu." Said Liu Yuxin with a mischievous smile on her face causing Yue Zhengyu to stop his bickering before glancing at her.

"What do you mean?"

"Well if we're talking about talent, Na'er is the greatest out of all we wouldn't she? Even more monstrous than Wulin."Said Liu Yuxin with her charming smile growing bigger as she saw Yue Zhengyu face turning slightly pale.

"Well um, that maybe-"

"And there is also Gue Yu and Wu Sido who can fight many levels above there. While you guys can also it, it can't be compared to both of these now can it?" Yue Zhengyu's lips began twitching but Liu Yuxin didn't seem to have any intention of stopping.

"There is also our level in our profession; just based on the level, wouldn't Mu Xi be the greatest out of all us?"

"Alright! I get it!"

"Hehehe." Liu Yuxin giggled as she saw Yue Zhengyu glaring fiercely at her with Dai Yun'er stroking him on the back.

With a hand over her mouth, trying to stop her laugh.

"There, there, at least you are the most handsome?" Said Dai Yun'er as she tries consoling Yue Zhengyu.

"Well-"

"Quiet you! No one other than Wulin is better looking than me!"

The laughs came right then as everyone gazed at Yue Zhengyu who didn't want to listen to Liu Yuxin and her deadly words.

"Well about that, my talent is still sealed." Said Tang Wulin causing everyone to glance at him.

"Huh?"

"Your talent is still sealed, boss!"

"Well, my God's bloodlines are sealed." Said Tang Wulin not minding the look of disbelief he was getting.

As he could more or less understand what they were thinking.

"Are you sure? Is that all you wish for me to do? Don't you wish to gain my power?"

"Haha, no. Right now, my son would be a better fit for the use of your power. I am sure right now he is under a lot of pressure even though he doesn't say it or express it. Any bit of help, I know will help decrease the load on him."

"You..."

Two voices were coming from a room in the academy buildings that were set up for guests and workers. These two voices were both familiar to Tang Wulin as he reached the location and saw his mother standing outside.

"Mom."

"Huh? My baby!"

Lang Yue dashed towards Tang Wulin before instantly bringing him into her embrace.

"My sweet baby, mommy missed you so much!"

Rubbing her cheek against Tang Wulin's chest, she showed a joyful expression as the worry in her heart about her son was finally lifted.

She hasn't seen him for months and was just delighted he was back, safe and sound. Tang Wulin sighed softly but he didn't say anything as he began gently rubbing his mom back while holding her.

"I love you, mom."

"Hehehe, I love you too." Said Lang Yue as she moved from Tang Wulin's chest to hold his cheeks with her hands.

"Did something happen during your trip? You seem a bit off?"Questioned Lang Yue as she tilted her head while her eyes slightly narrowed.

"Everyone found out about my parenthood."

"They did huh...How did they take it?"Questioned Lang Yue as her hands slightly tremble on Tang Wulin's face.

Tang Wulin didn't say anything as he hugged his mother tightly causing her to slightly widen her eyes. Before she closed her eyes, gently holding her son and not minding him not answering for the moment.

"Don't worry, they all took it well even with the shock. You both are and will always be my parents as well."Said Tang Wulin causing Lang Yue to slightly tremble before she laughed merrily.

"Of course!"

It was then that the door opened, with Tang Ziran coming out of the room, looking a bit drained causing Lang Yue to move to him.

"You okay honey?" Questioned Lang Yue as she moved her arms around Tang Ziran causing him to chuckle.

"I am fine, just a bit drained." Said Tang Ziran before glancing at Tang Wulin who was staring at him.

"Hey, dad...What did you decide on?"

"I want him to help you."

"That's it? You don't feel anything? No need for-"

"Well, It would be a lie if I didn't and It wouldn't be wrong to say I wouldn't mind if he would just disappear. But maybe if it wasn't for him, I may have never met your mother and would still be living in Star Luo continent."Said Tang Ziran with a sigh as he smiled at Lang Yue who only looked at him with worry.

"Besides, I want him to use his power to help you." Tang Ziran said with a whimsical smile causing Tang Wulin to furrow his brow before sighing and nodding his head.

He could already tell from his father's expression and eyes, that he didn't plan on changing his mind.

"Well, you will have to tell this to Na'er and somehow convince her." Said Tang Wulin causing Tang Ziran lips to twitch.

As he knew his baby girl would be hard to convince, let alone have the generous heart to forgive the Qilin Douluo.

After all, she was very protective of them, no matter if she left or hasn't seen them in a while.

"Hehehe come on honey, I will help you convince her."

"Thanks."

Tang Wulin watches both of his parents walk off before glancing at the door his dad came out of before sighing and walking away.

It hadn't taken him long before he reached the shore of Shrek Academy.

His feet were in the water, with the same waves rushing past his feet as he stared ahead in the horizon.

"I am guessing you don't agree with your father's thoughts." Zeref's voice rang out as he appeared next to Tang Wulin.

"It's his own decision, I already said it would be up to him."

"True but I can tell you came here to cool off, so your choices, when it came to the Qilin Douluo, won't be out of irritation."

Tang Wulin didn't agree or deny Zeref's words as he maintained a steady gaze on the horizon before after a while he began to speak.

"If such a thing was to happen to my parents Zeref."

"If any harm was to come to them..."

"I think I might just rampage."

Zeref said nothing as he was too shocked at the sight before him, more specifically the eyes of Tang Wulin.

Golden-scarlet silted purples with the iris being a myriad color of brilliant white, purple, and gold that was pulsing out with terrifying power.

Not only that but he saw something.

Something that shouldn't exist or should be possible.

He saw a gigantic dragon behind Tang Wulin, too difficult to describe as the image was blurry and hazy.

But he could see it was standing on two legs, towering over everything with an indescribable presence emitting from it.

It was if he was looking at a distinct entity that stands above all.

And in the next instant, it was gone, with Tang Wulin eyes returning to their golden-blueness.

Zeref saw Tang Wulin was still staring out at the horizon as if he didn't understand he just did or caused.

'Don't tell me...For that very instant in his anger, he was able to fuse them all...'
