Chapter 270: Son of the Sea God

Deep within the trenches of the boundless sea, where not even the light of the sun could reach.

There laid a silvery serpent, whose eyes were closed as it gave off a mellow light of divine energy.

Around it was the scene of blood with old remains as if it recently confronted something and was recovering its energy.

Around it was some sea soul beast whose eyes were wide as they stared at the beast in front. They were all frozen as the emotion of fear and dread was pulling vividly in their eyes.

Yet they didn't dare to move, in fear of angering the thing in front of them. As the creature in front of them was something too large to comprehend.

They all still recall how it easily killed some sea soul beasts with just a glance. Something they couldn't believe, considering that those soul beasts were over two-hundred thousand years.

And then they recall the battle between this creature and another one.

They all shivered uncontrollably, the memory too frightening to try and recall within the creature's presence. For the past hours, they have just been staying there motionless, as they watch the serpent sleep in front of them.

They would occasionally glance at each other, with some of them communicating, trying to have one of them see if it was safe to leave.

Naturally, no one was willing to be that tester, all of them recalling the tragic death of those before.

As they were all thinking this, something other-worldly erupted from a few kilometers away from them.

It was at a distance that they would and should have never been able to sense but for some reason the phenomenon that erupted caused them to feel it.

In the next instant, suddenly, in the distance, a golden light rose into the sky. It pierced through the ocean and into the sky, like a shooting star.

Before it began to move through the sky, flashing across like a streak of light. Too fast for anyone to know what it was or sees it passing but the sea soul beasts around were able to feel an indescribable feeling.

As this was going on, the serpent in front of the sea soul beast began to stir before snapping its eyes open.

Its silver eyes were wide open, flashing with power as it felt the phenomenon that happened far into the distance.

A wisp of grey flashed around its body before it faded away as its body began to slightly move.

Its body slightly shook before it released an ear-splitting cry that rang across, stirring up the sea and the sea beasts around.

Everyone understood that the sea serpent was awakened. Their hope of slowly trying to leave was now completely shattered.

As in the next instant, divine energy severely shook the sea, divine radiance engulfing the entire sea depths below!

It was once said that if one angered a Calamity, only devastation and ruin would come to them. But not even they could predict, just from them waking up, destruction would follow.

All of the creatures in front of Jormungandr couldn't withstand the terrifying pressure from its awakening, leading their body to crack.

The aura that it erupted with was too horrifying as if it wanted to erase the world and all within it.

"No!"

These were the shrill cries of the sea beasts, but they could do nothing as they broke apart and turned into a blood mist.

"You're saying it's because of it? Just what pissed off that serpent now!" Shouted Dai Yun'er as she held on to Yue Zhengyu who had his sword stabbed into the ground.

At the moment, the whole palace was shaking endlessly with cracks forming all around, with all of them trying to find stability.

"Only it can shake up the entire sea in these times, but the question is why?" Questioned Queen Marina as she had a grim look on her face but she was able to somehow stay standing even with the shaking.

"Do you think it notices what you were doing?" Questioned Liu Yuxin as she held on to one of the pillars with Xu Lizhi next to her.

"It shouldn't, as it didn't even glance or pay us any attention." Said the Sea General Aron with a grim expression as he formed ropes out of the water before having them tied around his soldier's waist.

"Could it be because of us?" Questioned Shen Yi as she held on to her elder brother Wu Zhankong, who had his sword in the ground.

"Maybe-"

"Dammit it, we don't have time to guess the reason why right now we have to plan on what to do now. Hey mermaid queen, you said you want our help? Sure, let's work together." Said Xie Xie as he held on to Yuanen Yehui who had her gravity domain out.

"Xie Xie!"

"Why..."

"Listen, guys, we need all the help we can. I know we have taken out the other two but this won't be the same as before. Remember we aren't fighting on land but underwater, a place that we haven't even gotten close to fully traversing. We need their help if we want to successfully kill Jorgumandar or at least minimize the casualties."Said Xie Xie as he furrowed his brows, already thinking about all other options.

While the actions of Queen Marina and the other sea soul beasts were annoying to them. At the moment, they didn't have time to be picky with their helpers, especially since these helpers were soul beasts.

"I agree." Said Gu Yue with a nod of her head.

"We might as well accept all the helpers we can." Said Wu Siduo with a sigh as she stared at the raging sea.

"Alright, we agree to help you." Said Zang Xin as he heard all of them, with a slight smile on his face.

"Good but first, let's stop this shaking." Said Queen Marina as she raised her silver trident before lightly tapping the ground.

A wave of soul power swept through the whole palace before it began to calm down, no longer shaking or cracking.

"So Jormungandr is far away." Muttered Zang Xin as he didn't believe Marina could do all of this if the beast was close.

Everyone in the palace let out a sigh of relief as they felt the room stopped shaking but then Queen Marina's expression changed.

"My queen?" Questioned the Sea General Aron as he was the first to notice her face was slowly falling,

"Why, why is it coming..."Muttered Queen Marina as she clenches her trident before turning around, looking through the glass.

"Someone is coming? Wait is it-"

"Just why are you coming here, Jormungandr!" Shouted Queen Marina as she glared outside, trying to think of the reason.

Even though they suggested that it was shaking, the sea was because of humans; she found it hard to believe that would be the reason.

If the beast hated humans to the point, it would shake the sea and come after them, why would it leave them alone on land?

One has to remember this beast has enough power to drone the whole Douluo continent. It wasn't wrong to say it could even sink the continent too, with no one being able to stop it.

So the thought of it going after the humans here was nothing but ridiculous in her ears. Yet she can't recall anything else that would draw it here.

"Wait a minute, you said you all have another teammate? Where is he?"Questioned Queen Marina as she moved her head to them.

This also caused the others to be interested in where Tang Wulin as they didn't see him come with Na'er. It was then they felt another bout of intense shaking of the palace, which was cracking even more and causing them to tremble.

"Crap it started again!"

As Na'er was about to summon her silver dragon spear, she froze as she felt something before a streak of radiant light flashed in the middle of the hall.

Its light was blinding as it arrived before it began to fade, displaying a figure who was next to Na'er, one arm gently wrapped around her.

The man was draped in a golden light that spread across his whole body, with a soft colorful halo glimmering off.

In the man's hand was a glittering trident that shined with prominence and glory, as the man glanced at everyone in the room.

"Wulin!"

The humans shouted his name but they were all shocked as they felt that Tang Wulin was different from before.

From the presence he gave off to his eyes that seemed deeper than before as if they could see through anything. If he wasn't handsome enough before, these changes amplified his attractiveness, even more, pulling in both women and men.

"Big brother?" Na'er Questioned as she looked at him in concern.

"Don't worry, I can more or less understand what happened. Although I will need to ask you guys some things later, for now, let's take care of the problem."Said Tang Wulin as he gently rubs Na'er hair before walking onward, not affected by the shaking of the palace.

"Take care of the problem? Wait! Big brother don't tell me your planning to fight Jorgunmandr!"

"I am." Said Tang Wulin as he made his way up the stairs, none of the mermen moving to stop him, too shaken by his appearance.

"You...Just who are you? Where did you get that trident from? And why do I feel the blood and breath of the Sea God from you?``questioned Queen Marina with her eyes widened.

From the moment, Tang Wulin appeared, she had her spiritual sense all over him. To her shock, she could sense the sea's unconditional love for him.

If she didn't look hard enough, she would never be able to tell this came from this bloodline. Not only that but she could feel the breath of the Sea God on him as if he had recently just met the Sea God himself.

It was because of this, that Queen Marina couldn't understand just what Tang Wulin was. The last time they felt the breath of the Sea God was tens of thousands of years ago, with all of them thinking the divine realm was lost.

"Oh? You can feel it? Then again that whale was able to feel it too."Muttered Tang Wulin with Queen Marina hearing him and causing her to shiver.

"You...Don't tell me you are the-"

"Yes, I am the Son of the Sea God." Said Tang Wulin as he finally reached the area where Queen Marina.

He was glancing through the window with his eyes slightly narrowed, while Queen Marina stared at him with a terrible shock.

The words he said didn't get past the people in the room as it caused all of them to widen their eyes.

Just who was Tang San?

He was an unrivaled existence twenty thousand years ago, a figure who became a god and defeated two other gods in his era.

A being who freed the lives of the soul masters from the clutches of the Spirit Hall and with many more accomplishments to his name.

This was a figure that was considered the greatest soul master and to hear Tang Wulin say he was his son?

How could they not be shocked?

With all of them, not knowing what to say, as they continued watching.

"I am the son of the Sea God, Tang San." Said Tang Wulin with a stoic look before he rose the golden trident in his hand.

Instantly a golden light erupted from it.

An indescribable breath swept through the whole room before moving through the whole ocean as a golden light appeared once again in the sky.

It was a feeling of overlooking the earth, but also a breath of the world. The Arctic Ocean in the distance seems to be cheering enthusiastically because of this golden light.

The sound of roaring waves, like cheers, is looking forward to something returning.

Then he slammed the trident into the ground before him, causing it to release a soft golden light that began to expand.

"Never thought I would use this skill, ever in my life."

The golden light began to expand, interweaving with each other all around the palace and brilliantly illuminating the whole place.

It didn't take long before everyone in the room widened their eyes widened, as they saw a golden sphere being formed around the palace.

'Fairy Sphere.'

Tang Wulin glanced at the golden light on his right hand before shaking his head and looking out as he could sense the serpent movement.

'Impatient, aren't you.'

With that thought, he took a step.

Tang Wulin jumped up from the ground, as a pale blue light began to peel itself from him, it began to interweave in front of him.

Two multilayered wings that were composed of black round scales and blue markings blew through the seawater.

A massive tale with a stinger splash through the water, hacking it apart and sending a shockwave through the area. Two massive arms began clenching together as it had the same blue tribal markings with spirals and plates.

Then came a massive blunt dragon head, rounded with two white beady eyes, with razor-sharp teeth that gave off a terrifying image.

The dragon released a roar that severely shook the area around it.

"What the hell is that!" Shouted Yue Zhengyu as he stared wide-eyed at the existence in front of him.

It wasn't just him but everyone else in the room except for Xie Xie as they stared at the black dragon.

Whether it is from the terrifying feeling, it gave them, the horrific pressure or just otherworldly presence; they all knew one thing.

This dragon was an existence that surpassed all in the world.

"It's Wulin..."Muttered Xie Xie as he stared above while recalling the last time he saw that form.

The way it annihilated the Evil Soul Master was still flashing through his mind, he knew that Wulin was strong.

But he didn't think he could utilize power like this? Even though he wasn't completely sure, he felt that this form was on the same level as a god.

'God Level.' Thought Gu Yue and Na'er as they stared wide-eyed at the creature in front of them while feeling a sense of fear ringing through their body.

This wasn't suppression but primal fear of something that has the power to reap their souls and life from them. As if the existence in front of them was made to swallow and slaughter all dragons in the world.

"Did he always have this power?" Questioned Gu Yue to Xie Xie causing Na'er to blink her eyes before she focuses her attention on him.

"I only know about it after he uses it against those Evil Soul Masters that were chasing us. With just a roar from it, he caused all of the Soul Master to turn into a bloody mist."Said Xie Xie as he felt his body shivered, still recalling that incident.

"Just like the calamities..."Said Ye Xinglan, causing everyone's expression to slightly change.

"If he had such power, why didn't he use it before?" Questioned Wu Zhankong with a grim look but no one could give him an answer.

"We can ask him these questions later, get ready. Jormungandr is here!"

In the next instant, a silvery serpent arrived in front of the palace, a few meters back with a terrifying glow in its eyes.

Everyone in the palace saw the two figures, a black dragon and a silver serpent, staring at each other.

They all knew, a heaven shaking battle was about to occur and they were going to be in the center.
