Tang Wulin observed his surroundings for a moment quietly. The spatial element fluctuation remained as dense as before while the surrounding abyssal passage had already turned deep orange with flickering radiances seen vaguely. The temperature in this place was about forty degrees Celsius, so it was much hotter than the outside. The change in temperature was the only identifying factor that he had ventured deep into the abyssal plane.

Tang Wulin suppressed his curiosity. He turned around and walked outside. It seemed like the search this time was fruitless.

Just as he took a few steps outside, all of a sudden, an indescribable feeling coursed through his body. His Dragon Core contracted for a moment before the vigorous blood essence fluctuation surged forth in an instant.

Tang Wulin heard an indistinct scream, so he turned around instinctively and used the Golden Dragon Spear to sweep the area before him.

A black shadow retreated at lightning speed and dodged the Golden Dragon Spear's sweep before it landed on the passage ground in the distance.

'Is that an abyssal creature?'

Tang Wulin's heart was filled with surprise and fear at the same time. Just a moment ago, he could not feel the presence of any abyssal creature at all!

It was simply unbelievable with his level of spiritual power and perception. It was the Dragon Core's stress reaction that uncovered the creature. It seemed to be retreating due to its fear of Tang Wulin's blood essence fluctuation.

Tang Wulin fixed his eyes upon the black shadow that resembled a human. Furthermore, the shadow appeared very familiar to him. Upon closer inspection, Tang Wulin discovered in fear that the black shadow was just like himself. It looked identical to him, whether it was its height or figure, only that it was pitch black all over. In addition, it was translucent such that there was no way he could identify it.

The black shadow seemed to be gazing attentively at Tang Wulin as well. Not a single ounce of aura fluctuation energy was radiating from its body. The pupils in Tang Wulin's eyes gradually narrowed into vertical slits while a layer of white-gold gloss appeared on his battle armor. The Golden Dragon Spear's radiance pulsated as he pierced at the black shadow.

The powerful spear's consciousness burst out with a piercing howl in the abyssal passage. The white-gold radiance penetrated the passage and shot straight for the black shadow amidst the flickering spear's radiance.

The black shadow retreated rapidly. It was light as a feather and appeared formless. Tang Wulin could not detect any life source or energy fluctuation from its body, but he obviously felt that the entity was a serious threat to his safety.

The spear's radiance shot out valiantly as a golden giant dragon bored out from the spear's tip. It was precisely the Golden Dragon Soars to the Heaven that enshrouded the black shadow in a split second.

However, a bizarre scene appeared. Just as the golden dragon came into contact with the black shadow, it passed right through the shadow.

Tang Wulin's golden dragon turned black as it went through the shadow and transformed into a dark shadow dragon that spun around the shadow's body.

What?

Tang Wulin was startled. What sort of creature was that? It was his first experience in encountering a technique which neutralized his Golden Dragon Soars to the Heaven. It appeared to be devoured by the opponent.

The black shadow raised its hand and pointed at Tang Wulin. The black Golden Dragon Soars to the Heaven was seemingly regurgitated immediately and pounced straight for Tang Wulin.

Tang Wulin remained calm despite the situation which was getting dangerous. His right foot stamped against the ground heavily. Eight golden dragons soared into the air within the loud booming sound. It was the Golden Dragon Shocks the Earth.

These eight golden dragons were smaller than the Golden Dragon Soars to the Heaven, but there were more of them. Those dragons collided with the black Golden Dragon Soars to the Heaven within seconds.

The black Golden Dragon Soars to the Heaven exploded into pieces and transformed into a large expanse of black mist which descended from the sky. To Tang Wulin's surprise, the eight golden dragons were infected and turned black immediately. Also, each dragon now seemed to be growing larger under the amplification of the black Golden Dragon Soars to the Heaven.

In the next moment, the eight black dragons descended from the sky and went straight for Tang Wulin!

Tang Wulin's pupils constricted abruptly as the Dragon Core in his body rebelled. His third golden soul ring glowed brightly while a heaven-shocking roar echoed through the entire abyssal passage.

An enormous Golden Dragon head emerged with each and every strand of its dragon whiskers looking just like Bluesilver Grass. It was his blood soul fusion skill!

It was the Blue Emperor Golden Dragon Roar!

"Roar"

A valiant dragon's roar shook the entire passage making it tremble violently. The eight black dragons were shattered in a split second before transforming into black airflows that diffused into its surroundings.

Tang Wulin pierced the Golden Dragon Spear forward into the air. His blood essence power burst forth while the Golden Dragon Spear emitted a penetrating white-gold radiance as it stirred once in the air. The black airflows were all sucked into the spear at once.

Tang Wulin immediately felt his energies return. It was precisely the energy unleashed from the Golden Dragon Soars to the Heaven and the Golden Dragon Shocks the Earth. The energy was absorbed into his body after being filtered by the Golden Dragon Spear.

The black shadow in the distance was so shocked by the Blue Emperor Golden Dragon Roar that its body seemed to turn stiff temporarily. Tang Wulin tossed the Golden Dragon Spear in his hand without the slightest hesitation. At the same time, countless Bluesilver Grass was unleashed which engulfed the opponent. When he unleashed the Blue Emperor Golden Dragon Roar, Tang Wulin could feel that the black shadow, which was capable of devouring his soul skill in energy form, feared the life source unleashed from the Bluesilver Emperor. Thus, the infected and enlarged Golden Dragon Shocks the Earth was destroyed by the Blue Emperor Golden Dragon Roar.

Since it was afraid of the life force, the Bluesilver Emperor was the ideal attack strategy without a doubt.

The black shadow turned around and was about to run as it watched the arrival of the Golden Dragon Spear. It was affected by the Blue Emperor Golden Dragon Roar making it incapable of escaping from Tang Wulin's Golden Dragon Spear.

The Golden Dragon Spear pierced through its body. Instantaneously, the black shadow screamed out in agony, the scream originating from its soul. The black shadow completely vanished after being absorbed into the Golden Dragon Spear.

Tang Wulin retracted his Bluesilver Emperor and stretched out his hand to summon the Golden Dragon Spear back to his grasp once again. However, he widened his eyes in the next moment.

What was that

He was taken aback, as he sensed a gush of pure energy surging into his body. The energy did not fuse with his Dragon Core nor soul core, but it surged straight into his brain to enter his sea of spirit. Tang Wulin's spirit was cleansed while his sense of spatial element in the abyssal passage was enhanced.

'Is this spiritual amplification?'

It was his initial experience of absorbing energy through the Golden Dragon Spear which resulted in his spiritual amplification during the process. Moreover, it was a permanent amplification.

It was truly a surprise for Tang Wulin.

The most difficult component to cultivate was one's spiritual power! He had been cultivating the Purple Demon Eyes daily. As his spiritual power's origin grew stronger, his cultivation speed became slower. The earlier absorption would at least be on par with the cumulative spiritual power attained from cultivating the Purple Demon Eyes for a month.

The abyssal creature which had troubled the Blood God Army for many years was truly... good nourishment!

At this point, Tang Wulin's expression turned peculiar. He truly wished to take a look at the abyssal plane. If he could stay for a period of time in the abyssal plane, perhaps he would achieve a monumental breakthrough in his cultivation base. At least, the accumulated blood essence power would provide him better opportunities to charge at the remaining Golden Dragon King's seals in the future.

He had been working on getting accustomed to his body after the elevation recently. The more familiar he was with himself, the more he knew about the immense energy supplied by the latter nine seals of the Golden Dragon King. He was only at the breakthrough of the tenth layer seal, yet it was comparable to all of the first nine seals. The energy accumulated in the later seals would come in even larger amounts. Nonetheless, if he was going to absorb the energy from these seals, it also meant that he would be facing a rigorous test. Otherwise, he would end up in grave trouble if his body was incapable of withstanding the process.

The gains from absorbing the numerous abyssal creatures in the abyssal plane were definitely no less than the heaven and earth treasures. Moreover, it felt endless and everlasting.

The elevation of his spiritual power warmed his chest. Tang Wulin felt he could not refrain himself from venturing deeper.
