Dragon King of Apocalypse

In a single day, unbeknownst to the people of the Star Luo Empire, the Royal Palace was flooded with blood. From the royal hall where the next Emperor was being chosen to the halls all around the palace.

One could see streams of blood and corpse littered all around. And this was all due to the plan of Tang Wulin and his group in their goal of cleaning the whole palace.

When the Imperial Officials and the Royal Family fraction members left the royal hall and discover the piles of bodies around. They could do nothing but shiver in fright and horror as they instantly realize.

All of this happens in the time that Dai Yun'er was seizing the throne.

It was only because of Dai Yueyan informing them what happened that they didn't go into a panic. While everyone was inside of the Royal Hall, another group was slaughtering all of the Evil Soul Masters inside of the palace.

They were able to tell who the Evil Soul Masters were through the help of Gu Yue seven-colored lights. Alongside was Tang Wulin's calling upon the plane and nature to mark all of the people that we're surrounded with a negative aura.

With all of this, the sole thing left to do was slaughter and kill all of them in the palace. This was accomplished by all of the Limit Douluos except Zang Xin, Long Yeyue, Tang Sect and Spirit Pagoda Members who were station outside.

But even then that didn't cease them from stealing a glance at the little princess with all of them thinking.

'Just who did she allow into our empire.'

The plan while it wasn't terribly cruel, but was decisive and deadly enough to cause all of them a fright. As this wasn't merely them cleaning the empire of the snakes and rat but also a warning to everyone here.

That if they ever tried betraying the empire, they wouldn't even know how they died and will be no different than a corpse in the hall.

Yet all of them let out a sigh of relief as they knew this meant the Star Luo Empire should be fine for now.

As most of the Evil Soul Master should have all been cleaned out and the only thing left was to rid the continent of the remaining Holy Spirit Cult members.

Naturally, they decided to do this after allowing some people of the empire to help clean out the blood in the halls. While the Soul Masters began burning the bodies of the Evil Soul Master and purifying the area.

Either way, this would be a day that would be later called the Bloody Hall of Star Luo. As such an event has only happened once before, tens of thousands of years ago.

When Star Luo just became its empire.

"Its last sighting was somewhere here." Mutter Tang Wulin as he looked all around.

He felt the cool water rush past his feet, fizzing and shrouding them like a blanket. The waves ahead roar and roll down, crashing onto the shore and the layer of rocks in front.

They were drawing away at the rocks and sand beneath his feet. Tang Wulin had to admit, the shore was beautiful as it glittered under the sun.

"Are you ready?" Sleipnir's gentle voice rang out causing Tang Wulin to nod his head.

"Let us begin." Yggdrasil's cheery voice rang out.

Tang Wulin let out a sigh before sitting down onto the warm sand, with waves of water sweeping past his legs. As he got into a lotus position, he let out a sigh before the symbols of Life and Sleipnir appeared on his forehead.

Tang Wulin glowed with a golden-green colored as his Blue Silver Genesis appeared all around him and began expanding. All of the vines began digging deep into the ground, like roots as they covered the area around him.

If another person was here, they would be shocked to see multi-colored vines that span thirty meters across the shores.

'Help me.'

With a sincere thought, Tang Wulin felt the world around him surge as the plane and nature began to respond. The golden-green colors around him began to swell up before rotating around him and coiling.

Tang Wulin didn't perceive this, as his consciousness was being taken to somewhere else. He felt himself being pulled by countless small hands as the world around him blurred.

It was only his mind that was taken and not his body, as the plane and nature began to help. He saw the deep ocean, as he was pulled deep into the ocean, deeper than anyplace he has been.

He saw countless Sea Beasts, plants, and little fishes as he felt himself moving through the deep. It was then everything around him shook before the world around him blurred once again.

As his Seagod bloodline began to communicate with the water elements and sea before they responded to him.

He watched as everything around turned into streaks of color. It wasn't until after what felt like seconds that the world returns to normal and he saw it.

Laid out in front of him was something breathtakingly beautiful, a path of that buildings were below heaven and earth.

They all resembled halls and palaces with corals that were found underwater scattered all around the buildings. There was no apparent light source, yet Tang Wulin was able to notice the steady blue lights that lit up the place.

Tang Wulin can see that the buildings weren't similar to human structures as some of them were made out of the materials under the sea. For example, he saw a home that looked to be a shell, another was a rock and so on.

'Is this where I need to go?' Questioned Tang Wulin to the spirits all around him.

The world blurred before spectral spirits appeared beside him, they all had smiles as they all began caressing his face.

Then they all had nodded their head to Tang Wulin before one of them pointed to the palace causing Tang Wulin to raise a brow.

'Do I really need to go there.'

But the spirits merely nodded their head before their expression turned grim causing Tang Wulin to narrow his eyes.

'What's wrong-'

Instantly he felt as if the world was shaking. The spirits around him expression turned into fright as something started to form in front of them.

It was huge, far beyond the height of even Surtr or Fafnir. An incomparably beautiful, enormous serpent head shadow appeared in front of Tang Wulin, silvery scales that released pulses of divine energy.

Its grey eyes scanned over the spirits and Tang Wulin, who had a frown on his face.

Before Tang Wulin could say anything, the serpent released a roar.

A surge of divine energy rushed forward before it crashed into Tang Wulin and the spirits around him. As if he was snared in a tidal wave, Tang Wulin felt himself being pushed back until he was onto the shore.

"Wulin! Are you alright?"Questioned Sleipnir as she appeared next to him.

It wasn't just her but Zeref, Yggdrasil and even his two other spirit souls as they all looked at him in worry. But Tang Wulin waved their concerns off as he opened his eyes but they were inflated with determination as a grin appeared on his face.

"Found you, little snake." Tang Wulin naturally started to get up from his lotus position.

As he looked up into the sky, to his surprise, he saw it was dark outside with the moon shining brightly above. Even in the dark, he could see the light of the stars, the specks of light around the moon that drew in the attention of Tang Wulin.

He heard that the night sky in the Star Luo Continent was far more beautiful and vivid to see when compared to the Douluo continent. As both, the location and surplus of nature around allowed for such a sight.

'Was it really that long?' Tang Wulin was a bit daze as he didn't think it would have taken him hours.

"Did it seem fast for you?" Zeref asked curiously with a stare.

'Yes, it felt like I instantly arrived in the area of where Jormungandr was.' Tang Wulin furrowed his brows as his gaze was still on the stars above.

"I guess your perception was sped up, as it may have taken hours to what felt like seconds for you." Said Zeref causing Tang Wulin to nod his head before glancing at him.

'I am guessing your waiting for me to say it?' Thought Tang Wulin with Zeref only smiling as he motioned for him to speak.

'It seems the snake is station around the area that I think is an underground kingdom for the Sea Beasts.' Thought Tang Wulin causing Zeref and Sleipnir eyes to widen.

"Can you describe it?" Questioned Sleipnir.

In the next few minutes, Tang Wulin began describing the texture of the buildings, the plants and corals that surrounded it.

Alongside the lights that were clustered all around those buildings.

"Were you able to leave behind a spiritual sense?" Questioned Sleipnir after a bit.

'Before the snake showed up, I was able to. Although I'm surprised it didn't destroy it.'

"It showed up? And you are fine?"Questioned Zeref in surprise causing Tang Wulin to nod his head.

'It simply told me to scram before unleashing a surge of divine energy.' Thought Tang Wulin who wasn't anger or irritated by Jorgurmandar actions.

After all, he was just happy he was able to find the snake. Something he and everyone thought might have taken months to accomplish.

'We leave tomorrow.' Thought Tang Wulin causing everyone around him to nod their head before vanishing.

He didn't make a move to leave, as he shifted his gaze back up to the night sky. It wasn't until after a few minutes had passed that a familiar voice rang out from behind him.

"There you are, we were all looking for you."

Tang Wulin didn't turn around to know it was Dai Yun'er as his spiritual sense had already picked up on her.

Noticing he wasn't responding, Dai Yun'er moved her gaze to what Tang Wulin was staring at. She saw the same starry sky that Tang Wulin was gazing at and sighed.

"It really is beautiful, isn't it? My father used to take me out here with my brother and we would stare at the stars."Said Dai Yun'er as a faint smile bloomed on her face.

She had always been enchanted by their pattern that seemed so close and yet so far away. She had always been dazzled by its welcoming sight, appearing and disappearing, yet forever there.

"Do you miss those moments?" Questioned Tang Wulin as he began recalling some things.

One was the time his parents took him to see the fireworks, all of them erupting in a myriad of colors, liting up the skies and night.

Another was when he and Na'er after they were done training in the night, would climb on the tree in there backyard and simply stare at the stars.

Countless moments began to flash through Tang Wulin's mind, exploring with Gu Yue and Xie Xie. Training Xu Xiaoyan and Mu Xi at night back in Eastsea and others.

Moments like these were something he enjoyed as it made him recall the enjoyable and peaceful times in his life. Those countless experiences that one would fondly look back and simply smiled for no apparent reason.

"I do. Moments like those were when my world was simply my brother and father. When I didn't have to worry about anything else and simply free to do whatever I wanted."Said Dai Yun'er as her eager eyes soften.

She truly missed it, waking up to the sight of her father smiling affectionately at her and rushing into his embrace.

The sight of her brother pampering her and moving his hand through her hair while doting on her.

The sight of both of them listening to every one of her whims and always giving her smiles without any complaints.

Their special walks to the shore of the empire and their night activities of staring eagerly into the sky, entrance by the starry sky.

All of this and some more were some Dai Yun'er sufficiently realize she took for granted, something she may never be able to get back.

She was so caught up in her thoughts that she didn't notice Tang Wulin moving close to her and gently patting her on the head.

Dai Yun'er's eyes widened in mild surprise as she felt a hand, tussling her hair and golden-blue eyes staring thoughtfully at her.

"You did a good job." Tang Wulin said admiringly with a faint smile as he thought of how well she followed his advice

This caused Dai Yun'er to let out a delighted giggle she sways back and forth with the hand on her head.

She didn't know why but it feeling Tang Wulin's hand on her head and him saying a good job. Felt oddly similar to how her brother used to reward her whenever she did something good.

'It feels weird, but it isn't so bad.' Thought Dai Yun'er with an inward smile.

"How was it? Being the empress?"Questioned Tang Wulin causing Dai Yun'er to gain a helpless look as her shoulder slumped.

"Horrible! I couldn't even last an hour as the Empress before I passed it on to my brother. These official advisors are so annoying." Dai Yun'er muttered as she pursed her lips.

Tang Wulin didn't say anything, but he could hear the pleasant laughs of Zeref. As he understands both the struggle and exhaustion of running an empire.

"You actually gave it away?" Questioned Tang Wulin to raised brow.

"Of course! It is way too troublesome. Besides, I won't be left behind by you guys."Said Dai Yun'er causing Tang Wulin to chuckle.

"You believed we would leave you?"

"Definitely, after all, it's you Wulin."
