Chapter 1730
For a Hyper Douluo to become a Limit Douluo, one had to integrate all of their abilities together, accumulating quantity for a fundamental qualitative change.
Tang Wulin had already begun this process by inventing his Dragon Emperor Restriction Techniques, but this was not an easy process.
He was already working very hard, but he still encountered many difficulties. During two major breakthroughs, he had created Dragon Emperor Break and Dragon Emperor Slash, but since then, he had spent close to a year working extremely hard to improve himself, even using elemental tribulations as training tools to help him better integrate his abilities, all to no avail.
However, Guan Yue's guidance had shown him the way, and in the short span of a single month, he had created two more Dragon Emperor Restriction Techniques and truly completed the overall framework of his Dragon Emperor Restriction Techniques.
Judging from the current state of his cultivation, Tang Wulin estimated that he would be able to create seven Dragon Emperor Restriction Techniques In total.
The five techniques that he had invented thus far was already his current limit, and he had integrated his Nine Arts of the Golden Dragon, as well as his seven Golden Dragon King abilities and some Bluesilver Emperor soul skills.
Most importantly, the wills of the three opponents Tang San had faced had become the essence of his third, fourth, and fifth Dragon Emperor Restriction Techniques.
However, if he wanted to take his Dragon Emperor Restriction Techniques a step further and create the sixth technique, he would have to break the 16th Golden Dragon King seal and attain his eighth Golden Dragon King ability first. Alternatively, he would have to reach the Limit Douluo level.
Tang Wulin had already examined the final four Golden Dragon King seals on many occasions in his cultivation, and the more he did so, the more he was able to sense just how fearsome they were.
Having witnessed A'Ruheng's Invincible Vajra Body, Tang Wulin estimated that he would have to elevate his physical constitution to the Invincible Vajra Body level before he could withstand the power of the 15th Golden Dragon King seal.
Of course, he still wasn't at that level yet, but he should be able to close to that level once the incredible regenerative properties of the Golden Dragon King bloodline were taken into account.
This meant that if he could progress in his cultivation or even reach the Limit Douluo level, then there was a very good chance that he would be able to handle the 15th seal.
However, that would be the extent of his tolerance.
Whenever he attempted to examine the final three Golden Dragon King seals with his spiritual power, he would always be struck by a sense of uncontrollable fear, as if something extremely terrifying were lurking within those three seals, and it definitely wasn't something that he could withstand.
Having already come into contact with his father on several occasions, he was aware of what true godly power was like, and he was almost certain that the power within those final three Golden Dragon King seals were all of the godly level. This meant that unless he could become a god, there was no way he would be able to access the power in those three seals and survive. However, it was currently virtually impossible to become a god on the Douluo Star.
Furthermore, becoming a god was only the prerequisite for breaking the 16th seal; there were still two more seals to come after that. What level would he have to reach before he could withstand the power in those two seals?
Through his understanding of the Dragon Emperor Restriction Techniques, Tang Wulin was currently able to fortify the Golden Dragon King Seals on his own to a certain extent. He knew that he absolutely couldn't break the 15th seal unless it was absolutely necessary. Otherwise, without the 15th seal acting as a buffer, the final three seals would claim his life as soon as they were broken.
Thus, Tang Wulin had decided that he wasn't going to try and further his Dragon Emperor Restriction Techniques for now. Instead, he was focusing more on his forging, further baptizing his own body through withstanding elemental tribulations.
After experiencing so many elemental tribulations, Tang Wulin's understanding of this natural phenomenon had deepened over time. Elemental tribulations were imbued with extremely pure energy, and even though it had no conscious will, it would naturally take shape under certain special circumstances.
With his superb regenerative abilities, Tang Wulin was able to frequently transcend elemental tribulations during his forging of metals, forging his own body as well in the process.
Thus, even though there was no way for him to attain the Body Sect's Invincible Vajra Body, he could sense that there was a very good chance for him to elevate his physical constitution to the same level through alternative means.
The fact that he was able to perform heavenly refinement without any restraint was his greatest strength as a Divine Blacksmith.
In terms of technique, he was still inferior to Divine Blacksmith Zhen Hua, but due to his far superior ability to tolerate elemental tribulations, he had a far greater margin for error, thereby resulting in a significantly higher heavenly refinement success rate.
During the past two months, he had constantly been experimenting with a new method of forging, which was to use the Rainbow Lotus Flame he had received from Huo Tian.
This flame was very special in that it could incinerate virtually all things, and what came as a massively pleasant surprise to Tang Wulin was that it possessed a purification ability, meaning that it was able to purge the impurities within all things.
Of course, the prerequisite for this was sufficient control. Otherwise, it would purge everything instead of just the impurities.
This control had been very hard to come by, and Tang Wulin had wasted countless units of materials before he finally attained an elementary level of mastery over this flame.
He only had one objective for learning to control this flame: he wanted to use it to refine his own suit of four-word battle armor!
All of his friends' suits of four-word battle armor were gradually taking shape, but he still didn't even have a single piece of four-word battle armor yet, and it would be a lie to say that this didn't bother him.
However, his suit of three-word battle armor was at such a higher caliber that he would have to perform heavenly refinement on seven-metal alloys in order to upgrade it into a suit of four-word battle armor.
During this process, he would have to face a seven-color elemental tribulation, and it was far too difficult to ensure harmony between all seven types of metals; there were simply too many permutations to calculate. With so many unpredictable elements at play, there was no next to no chance that he could successfully complete seven-metal heavenly refinement.
Currently, four-metal heavenly refinement was his limit, but the thought of settling for a suit of four-word battle armor constructed from four-metal alloys filled him with indignation.
"What are you thinking about? Let's begin." A gentle voice dragged Tang Wulin back to reality, and even though he had already heard this voice many times, he still couldn't help but shudder upon hearing it.
This was because the owner of the voice was Ling Zichen!
The current Ling Zichen was a far cry from the Ling Zichen of the past. She was wearing a long pink dress that accentuated her exaggerated curves to perfection, and there was a seductive look in her eyes.
Tang Wulin couldn't imagine how the people of the Tang Sect would react if they were to see the current Ling Zichen. Perhaps they wouldn't even be able to imagine that there was such a facet to Ling Zichen's persona, but the fact of the matter was that this very persona was currently being displayed to Tang Wulin.
