The Legend of the Dragon King Chapter 979 - The New Golden Dragon King?

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

New Golden Dragon King? Tang Wulin looked at Old Tang with astonishment. It was his first time hearing Old Tang saying such things.

Old Tang laughed hysterically. Yes! The new Golden Dragon King! All the Golden Dragon Kings essence is within your body. Although it may rob you of your life at any time, provided youre able to completely absorb and digest it, I have no doubt that youll be able to possess its powers in its entirety. However, I must remind you that possessing the Dragon Core alone wont guarantee your safety. The final nine seals of the Golden Dragon King are the ones that truly contain the sealed Golden Dragon Kings powers. The first nine seals were only to allow you time to adapt to the power.

Never think that you can rest easy just because youve obtained your Dragon Core. With your bodys current strength, youd still need to exert yourself to break through the tenth seal. If youre able to condense your soul core, then thats more like it.

Tang Wulin was greatly astonished. He had thought that it would be easy as pie to break through the tenth seal since his body had already been strengthened to such a degree. However, from the tone of Old Tangs words, it seemed like it would not be easy to break through the tenth seal.

Whys that so, Old Tang? I already feel that my body is strong enough, especially now that I have my Dragon Core. If the Golden Dragon Kings essence were to be released, cant I just absorb them completely with my Dragon Core?

Old Tang shook his head as he said with a lowered voice, Its not as easy as you think. The reason why Ive awakened at this moment is to remind you that you shouldnt be blindly optimistic. Not only do the final nine Golden Dragon King seals contain terrifying energy, more importantly, but they also hold some of the Golden Dragon Kings initial will. Nobody knows what this will is filled with. However, with the Golden Dragon Kings violent nature, it must be something thatll affect your consciousness. Hence, your task is not merely to digest the Golden Dragon Kings energy, you must protect your mind at the same time. Otherwise, theres a possibility that youll be controlled by the Golden Dragon Kings will.

Tang Wulin drew a cold breath. Although he knew that the Golden Dragon Kings seals were threatening, he had never expected the final nine seals to be so deadly.

What should I do then, Old Tang? If the Golden Dragon Kings will truly exist, wouldnt it impact my spiritual powers and soul sea? Such terrifying energy, how can...

Old Tang held his hands behind him and said with a lowered voice, You must know that in the Divine Realm, the Golden Dragon King is also the highest rank-1 deity.

Tang Wulins heart shook. Is it true that the Golden Dragon King is a part of the Dragon God?

Old Tang looked at him with amazement. You know that already?

Tang Wulin knew that it was true just by looking at his expression.

Dont you know, Old Tang? Whats a rank-1 deity?

Old Tang replied, In the Divine Realm, all the gods are equal. Nevertheless, theyre still divided into a few ranks. They are mainly differentiated by their differences in strength. The ones with the lowest cultivation bases are known as the God Officers. One step up the ranks would be the rank-3 deities, followed by the rank-2, and the rank-1 deities, in that order. The ones with the highest ranks are known as the Godkings. Theyre also the law enforcers of the Divine Realm. There were once five Godkings in the Divine Realm. All these that Ive mentioned are applicable to humans who have become gods through their cultivation.

For the beasts, the conditions are roughly the same. However, theres only one beast-type Godking, and thats the Dragon God! In terms of individual combat strength, the Dragon God may even surpass any one of the Five Great Godkings. Its because hes alone that he isnt able to lord over the humans. The Dragon God died during a battle with the human Godkings. Thats how the Golden Dragon King and Silver Dragon King came about. You can say that the Golden Dragon King is similar to a human Godking, and is a rank above a rank-1 deity. So, If you think about it, such a terrifying power is sealed within your bodys final nine seals. How difficult would it be to completely absorb and convert it?

Have you mentioned the Divine Realm before this? Ive heard that it has been many years since anyone was able to cultivate into a god on Douluo Continent. Are you telling me that the Divine Realm doesnt exist anymore?

Old Tangs gaze displayed some befuddlement. He sighed. No, the Divine Realm still exists. Its just that it cant contact our world anymore. If ever the day comes when youre able to completely unseal the Golden Dragon Kings seals and absorb its energy, youll be able to establish a Divine Country and frame its rules.

Tang Wulin drew a cold breath. He had expected the Golden Dragon Kings seals within his body to be exceptionally powerful. No matter how high his expectations were, he only thought that he would reach the ranks of a Limit Douluo. He never thought that Old Tang would tell him that he could be a God-King.

It truly racked his brain!

Tang Wulin was no longer the clueless kid who had the Golden Dragon Kings seals.

Unrivaled dangers lay behind the possibility of reaching the rank of a Godking. Even with his current conditions, the probability of him absorbing all the energy was almost zero.

Tang Wulin gulped. He looked at Old Tang and said with a bitter smile, Am I close to deaths door already?

Old Tang went silent. I dont know.

Tang Wulins gaze darkened. Old Tang, can you help me figure, with my bodys current conditions, how long I can hold out and the number of seals I can break in the meantime?

Old Tang shook his head. Ive no way of estimating that for you since youve already exceeded my expectations. Youre twenty-one this year, but the strength you possess now is possibly that of a twenty-five-year-old by my reckoning. Twelve seals would be the limit for a human. Beyond the twelve seals, one seal is equivalent to a gods rank. Judging by the stability of the seals, I can only say that youll most likely break through the twelfth seal in ten years. After fifteen years, the thirteenth seal will unseal on its own. When the time comes, youll not only have to face your bodys problems but the powers of the worlds order as well.

Tang Wulin was astonished, Powers of the worlds order? Whats that?

Old Tang said, There are invisible orders at work in any world. The Divine Realm has its order and the mortals realm has its own as well. The order of the mortal world is that god-ranked beings cannot exist here. Im sure there have been many Limit Douluos cultivated from among the humans throughout the years. Why arent they able to break their limits and attain the ranks of a god? Its not that they dont have enough talent. If theres no supply of Godhood tablets, theyll have to live under the suppression of the powers of the worlds order which render them impotent to breaking through this separation barrier.

Youll face the same problem as well. Its impossible that therell be a Godhood tablet for you. So, when your thirteenth seal is broken, youll not only be withstanding an immense energy shock, youll also have to withstand the suppression of the entire Douluo Continents order.

Tang Wulin remained quiet as he imagined the sorry state he would be in if such an incident were to occur.

A bitter smile appeared on his face. He sighed softly. Looks like theres no other possibility, right? Fifteen years, so I only have fifteen years at most?

While the Golden Dragon King bloodline gave him powerful strengths, it also shortened his life.

Old Tang nodded lightly. Its not like you dont have any opportunities at all. If youre able to break through that barrier, then your future will be as wide as the seas and as endless as the skies. As long as youre able to attain godhood, perhaps youll then be able to create a God Country. Although the chances of success are very slim, my existence is to help you break through that barrier.

Tang Wulin looked at Old Tang and suddenly said, Dont tell me how high my chances are.

Old Tang was astonished. After a moment, a smile appeared on his face for the first time in their meeting.

Youve grown stronger!

Tang Wulin smiled as well. Indeed! If I dont know the worst case scenario, Ill have more courage. Ill fight with all my might no matter the circumstances. So what if I cant break through? At least I wont have any regrets. Old Tang, I have a favor to ask of you. Id like you to help me analyze when the best time to break through the tenth seal will be. Should I delay or do it as soon as possible?

Old Tang replied without hesitation, Do it as soon as possible!

Tang Wulin was astonished. Thats not what you said during the first nine seals.

Old Tang said, Its not the same. I was worried about your body breaking down during the first nine seals. Since your bodys strength has already exceeded my expectations, you should absorb the strength from the subsequent seals as soon as possible. In a way, the final nine seals are considered as one. Perhaps, I should say that the Golden Dragon Kings energy is all in the nine seals. If you absorbed a part of it, the seals will be under less pressure overall. The unsealing of the seals can be postponed for as long as possible allowing you more time. Do you understand?
