Dragon King of Apocalypse

"What." Said Tang Wulin causing the spirit beast to chuckle for a bit.

"I'm sure you have many questions, and I will do my best to answer them." Said Spirit Beast.

"Ok, who are you?" Asked Tang Wulin with Zeref standing next to him.

"My name is Sleipnir. I'm known as the Avatar of Life." Said Sleipnir as she begins to walk closer to Tang Wulin.

Tang Wulin didn't raise his guard up as Sleipnir moved closer to him.

"Avatar of Life?" Questioned Tang Wulin.

"It's a title I gain from being able to manipulate the life force of all living things." Said Sleipnir, causing Zeref eyes to widen in distinct shock and surprise. Zeref turn to Acnologia and informed him to ask Sleipnir something.

"You can manipulate the life force of all living things? With no repercussions at all?"Asked Tang Wulin.

"Just like how some beings can manipulate the power of space and time with no repercussions, so can I with life force." Said Sleipnir.

Zeref went quiet, Tang Wulin guess because he was considering the fact he was cursed by Ankhseram for knowingly breaking the laws of life and death.

"Ok, why did you call me the Child of Life?" Asked Tang Wulin, causing Sleipnir to smile gently at him.

"Dear child, you were giving generously something that has never happen in all of the Douluo Dalu History. You were blessed by the Goddess of Life, a God-King and making you her child." Said Sleipnir, causing Tang Wulin to give Sleipnir a blank stare.

He remembers Na'er talking about the God-Kings being at the top of the Hierchery of Gods but he, however, doesn't fathom why one would bless him.

"Haven't notice your abnormal ability to recover very swiftly and your large vitality." Questioned Sleipnir, causing Tang Wulin eyes to widen.

'That explains why it only took me a day to properly regain consciousness after the Kirins attack.' Thought Tang Wulin. After all Old Tang told him it wasn't because of the GDK bloodline or his Dragonslayer powers.

Zeref himself was just laughing on the side from the Dragon of Apocalypse being blessed by the Goddess of Life.

"Why would she do that?" Asked Tang Wulin as he ignored Zeref.

"Who knows. The Gods are mysterious beings, some unattached, some loving and some are merciless. All I know is you have her blessing of life."

"Maybe you were blessed as our savior? Maybe you were blessed because you are her champion? Or Maybe you were blessed on a whim?" Said Sleipnir, as her face came in front of Tang Wulin.

Tang Wulin lips twitch as he heard Sleipnir words of him being a savior or a champion.

"Saviour?" Asked Tang Wulin, causing Sleipnir eyes to turn sad and distance.

"Yes child, her blessing may be a sign of you being our savior. Savior for what? I do not know for the ultimate fate of this world is so vague. You see I have the ability to see this world life span and I can see it ending soon." Said Sleipnir.

"What do you mean?" Asked Tang Wulin.

"I don't know. For the past thousands of years, I could sense the life span of this world running strong but then I felt the deafening screams of a whole world and then silence." Said Sleipnir, as it face turned paled for a few seconds.

"It was then I saw the life span of this world rapidly decreasing to the point. I can't tell if this world will exist for another thousand, hundred, fifty or tens of years." Said Sleipnir.

"So the world may end soon?" Said Tang Wulin.

"Maybe? Or Maybe not? The ultimate fate of the world has always been changing whether it be twenty thousand years ago or even ten thousand years ago."Said Sleipnir.

"It's why when I sense your divine blessing, I felt you may be the ultimate answer the Goddess has sent to us, her child. Maybe you could change the ultimate fate of this world or maybe not." Said Sleipnir.

"But before that, tell me something. Do you care for this world?" Asked Sleipnir as she gazes thoughtfully at Tang Wulin.

Tang Wulin didn't say anything as Zeref turned toward him.

"In another time, I would have told you no. I would have laughed merrily at the undeniable fact this world was going to be destroyed and merely depart from it but now?" Said Tang Wulin as various people started to flash through his mind.

*" Big Brother."

"My little Tang Tang."

"Mommy loves you."

"Boss!"

"Wulin!"*

He felt the memories of his time with them pass through his mind as he begins speaking.

"This world graciously allowed me to experience something that I thought was impossible for me. I don't love this world, but I don't wish for it to end." Said Tang Wulin as he gazes thoughtfully at Sleipnir.

"Such an honest child. I ask because I could feel your apathy and indifference towards the world." Said Sleipnir, as it begins to look at Tang Wulin with sincere affection.

Tang Wulin eyes widen when Sleipnir begins to gently rub its nose on his face but strangely he didn't oppose it. He gently moved his hands to stroke her head, while Zeref just smiled behind him.

"So do you know how the world will end?" Asked Tang Wulin.

"There are too many possibilities and variable at the present. I'm unsure which one will cause the destruction of the world." Said Sleipnir, causing Tang Wulin and Zeref to fall into silence.

"Dear child, let me help you on your journey. You're already rank 49; you can take my ring for your next rank." Said Sleipnir.

"Why would you do that?"

"I want to help you carry the burden of stopping the world from ending. I also want to get rid of some of that apathy you have to the world, even if it just a little bit." Said Sleipnir as she chuckles and smiled serenely.

Tang Wulin didn't utter anything as he gazes at Sleipnir and Zeref expression softens at Sleipnir answer.

"Alright, how do I absorb you?" Asked Tang Wulin, as he was so used to just killing the spirit beast and then absorbing it within him.

"Place your forehead on mine and leave the rest to me." Said Sleipnir. Tang Wulin nodded his head and leans his forehead forward, as it touches Sleipnir own forehead.

Zeref watches in amazement as the sacred symbol of a tree with multi-colored branches appeared around both Acnologia and Sleipnir. The vines and plants around started to move toward both of them.

Then they formed a sphere of vines and plants, with multi-colored lighting shining brilliantly through the gaps.

Tang Wulin perceived his body being flooded with energy as his spirit rank begins to rise. It increased from rank 49 to the peak and then breakthrough to rank 50.

Everything in Tang Wulin body begins to glow with multi-colored radiance as he begins to circulate his soul power. The multi-colored energy was entering his body and with his soul power, they both begin to form a vortex.

In this small vortex, his soul power became a multi-colored vortex that was extremely thick and had completely transformed into a whirlpool. He felt his body beginning to change and his soul power getting stronger.

His bones, tendons and internal organs were becoming more other-worldly as he felt the fierce rush of life energy entering his body. But that wasn't all as he felt his ninth dragon seal rumbling and Old Tang voice rang out.

"Prepare yourself. The absorption with Sleipnir broke your next seal and now you have to endure it or you will die."

The intense bloodline aura surged out while a low dragon's mighty roar began to radiate out of Tang Wulin's bloodline vibration. The tribal markings on his body begin to glow as golden scales kept on coming on and off his body.

Tang Wulin felt his bloodline breakthrough this time around was way different as it progresses.

The surging bloodline energy began forming miraculous vortices on the surface of his skin and he then felt life energy beginning to intertwine with the vortices.

Old Tang watches in mild shock as Tang Wulin bloodline started to instantly form a vortex similar to that of his multi-colored soul power, both spinning at high-speed.

There was a strange duality between both as in the middle of the Multi-colored one was vast white energy and in the bloodline was a deep blackness.

The bloodline power was thick and destructive on the outside while the Multi-colored power was smooth and encompassing on the inside.

He sensed a giant golden dragon seemingly leaping into the sky in his spiritual world. The mythical dragon suspended above his sea of spirit.

There were nine golden light spots shimmering from the dragon's head to its tail that made it appear fierce and valiant. It was a terrifying aura that was indescribable. It seemed to fill the entire world to its brim.

Its imperious power triumphed over everything and domineered all the life forms in the world. It felt as if it was no longer asleep as before. In fact, it felt as if everything should submit themselves before it.

The Golden Dragon King bloodline in Tang Wulin body seemed to come alive. It had truly transformed into the Golden Dragon King which reigned freely as it looked down on the world beneath it. It even felt like it was about to dash out of his body.

"Its finally awake" Old Tang voice rang out.

Yet that wasn't the only change that was happening to Tang Wulin. His Blue Silver Grass appeared prominently around his body and begins to change.

Multiple colors begin growing on the vines, as it started to shine with a beautiful glow and shimmer around it. The Vines began growing bigger and thicker, as scales begin to intertwine with each of their vines.

Tang Wulin body began to become even more refined and toned as his flowing hair become a bit longer. His skins become more tender and glossy. The vines begin to curl around his hair and then a jeweled crown was beginning to form around his forehead.

There were glittering gems around it similar to Sleipnir own on it antler. All of this was happening in the sphere of vines formed by the plants around them.

Then a large V symbol appeared on his forehead with his surrounding being bathed in life energy and an astral form of a woman appeared in front of him. She smiled at Tang Wulin and kiss his forehead.

Then the sphere exploded as Tang Wulin body was adequately covered in dazzling Multi-Colored radiance and the vines around him were coiling around his body endlessly. As if to make the whole world jealous of its eternal beauty.

His crown shimmer in timeless elegance and breathtaking beauty as the plants around him instantly began to kneel in his peaceful presence. All of his rings begin to shine as three purple, one black and finally, a multi-colored one appeared.

Tang Wulin luminous eyes snap open as it flashed with multiple colors and then return to normal. But one could still see a hint of a multi-colored hue in them.

"Kneel."

Tang Wulin uttered, causing the whole forest to literally bow before him and for the abundant grass around him to swarm his feet.

The majestic presence they felt from Tang Wulin was as if they were looking at the god of nature in front of them.

"Absolutely amazing." voice rang out to him.

Tang Wulin blinks his eyes and then notice many things were different for him. He shifted his hand around, which caused the multi-colored vines around him to follow the motions of his hand as they gave off a shimmering glow.

"It seems you absorbing me didn't just grant you a new ring but a variation with your Martial soul. It seems my life energy synchronized with it and created this new type of martial soul." Said Sleipnir, as she appears prominently beside him in astral form.

"Not only that, it seems to have caused you to break open one of those seals in your body. But that not all, I check over your body to make sure nothing was wrong but I notice two keys things. Your Leviathan spirit soul seems to have fallen into a deep slumber from the absorption, and you seem to have gained a spirit bone from me." Said Sleipnir, as she stared at the jeweled crown that was like a splitting image of her antlers.

Tang Wulin nodded his head, as he was troubled about Leviathan but knew he couldn't do anything as it was in a sleepy slumber. He then went toward the water and saw the jeweled crown on his reflection.

"How about you tell us about your new skill." Said Zeref as he appeared, surprising Sleipnir.

"Who is this?" Asked Sleipnir, as she was surprised she couldn't have sense Zeref before.

"Hello, my name is Zeref. I'm this boy guardian angel you could say and been helping him with his goals." Said Zeref with a smile, causing Sleipnir to nod her head.

"Well, it seems I gain the ability to control gravity in the area." Said Tang Wulin as his fifth ring lit up and which caused the vines around him to break the ground from the overwhelming pressure pulling it down.

"Then it seems my other ability Gem Amplification allows me to enhance my strength, speed, defense, bloodline and ability powers. The other one Avatar of Life allows me to store, transfer or heal anything in exchange for my own life energy. Also, I'm able to sense all of the life energy around." Said Tang Wulin, causing Zeref to look at him in surprise.

"Three spirit skills? Amazing." Said Zeref.

"It's, not just three, I have another one but It won't activate." Said, Tang Wulin in confusion.

"It because you're too weak at the moment to bring it out. For now, you should stick to those three spirit skills." Said Sleipnir, causing Tang Wulin to nod.

"So how about the spirit bone?" Asked Zeref.

"It seems each gem allowed me to boost one of my stats. Same as my spirit skill and I can stack them on each other." Said Tang Wulin as the red gem begins to shine dazzlingly and he felt his strength increasing.

"Then it has a skill called Child of Life, which allows me to suck up all the life energy around me and increase all powers by 100 percent." Said Tang Wulin, as the area around, begin to swirl into green energy and instantly begins to dive into his body.

"Sleipnir do you know what the last skill does, it's called Revelation." Said Tang Wulin, causing Sleipnir eyes to widen in shock.

"To think you would get that skill..." Said Sleipnir in shock.

"Well, it's basically is the Power to give and strip the truth of the world. Right now you only have the ability to weaken your enemy." Said Sleipnir with pride in her voice.

"I see." Said Tang Wulin as he nodded his head.

"You really luck out, in getting a one million year spirit bone and spirit ring." Said Zeref, causing Tang Wulin to nod and Sleipnir to giggle.

"I'm actually not only one million years old." Said Sleipnir causing Zeref to give her a questioning look.

"What do you mean?" Asked Tang Wulin.

"If we are talking about how long I have lived in this world? Then I would be around three hundred million years old." Said Sleipnir, shocking both Tang Wulin and Zeref.

"I have the ability to hibernate whenever I want or if the world is facing a mass extinction crisis. This takes me to a separate dimension and so I sleep for as long as I need to." Said Sleipnir.

"I see. Well, how do we leave this place?" Asked Tang Wulin, as he knew it was time to leave.

"Oh right, I didn't mention where we were right. I teleported your consciousness while you were battling those shark and so all you need to do to leave is to wake up." Said Sleipnir.

Tang Wulin nodded his head and close his eyes, as he begins focusing.

Mu Ye watches as his disciple was being bombarded by the shark's energy blast but saw no sign of his martial soul awakening.

He was planning on saving him but then he saw a flash of glowing light but nothing changed as he the sharks still firing.

'The hell, was that?' Thought Mu Ye. Then his eyes widen when he saw a flash of light surround Tang Wulin body and then Tang Wulin erupted from the animal blockage.

A visible streak of light speed through the ocean depth and straight through the surface, as it headed toward the shores.

Na'er was standing on the Ocean shore waiting for her brother and hoping the awaken his martial soul.

Imagine her surprise when a visible streak of light shot out of the boundless ocean and landed right next to her. She turns her head and saw it was a brother, but he was looking a little bit different from before.

His skins look more polish and refined from before, with his hair a little bit longer. Not only that but the aura he gave off was one of peace and life, it was a greater feeling than even her master wife Yali could give.

"Big brother?" Asked Na'er.

Tang Wulin nodded his head as he begins rubbing her head.

The sea parted as Mu Ye came out of it and headed towards Tang Wulin. He hastily asks him if he was able to do second awakening.

"Have a look." Said Tang Wulin, as his martial soul was released around him.

Na'er and Mu Ye look in surprised as Tang Wulin Blue Silver Grass was vastly different from before. Whether it be the brilliant color, the considerable thickness of it or the aura it gave off, both could tell Tang Wulin really achieve second awakening.

"It's too beautiful." Na'er was entranced by the shimmering and glittering vines. Mu Ye was nodding his head as he felt at peace around them and went to go to test the strength of the vines.

'Impressive, it takes a while before I'm able to rip the vines apart. But after I rip them apart, they simply form back together as if they weren't vines but swirls of energy link together.' Thought Mu Ye as he tested the stretching.

"With this, the next part of your training will be easier." Said Mu Ye, as he could tell Tang Wulin blood essence seems to have also increased and gotten stronger.

'Did it also get refined too?' Thought Mu Ye.

"Sorry old man, but I have to reach Star Luo Continent now." Said Tang Wulin, as brought his arm around Na'er waist and brought her close to him.

"Star Luo Continent? I can take you there in my mecha." Said Mu Ye.

Tang Wulin rolled his eyes at the mention of riding in a mecha.

Mu Ye watched as two wings appeared from Tang Wulin back and his fourth spirit ring lit up. Blue electricity appearing around Tang Wulin and then he saw clouds beginning to form.

Tang Wulin instantly disappeared from Mu Ye sight as he heard the sounds of continuous thunder rumbling.

"Damn this brat.' Thought Mu Ye.

'I can't let him escape from my sight.'

Mu Ye summon his golden mecha and begin chasing after Tang Wulin.
