Gazing at Tang Wulin charging fearlessly through the sky, his Golden Dragon Wings flapping relentlessly behind him, the Golden Dragon King had now become his defining symbol. The colossal blood-energy dragon surrounding him seemed capable of crushing everything in its path.
Heartless Douluo used his martial soul to restrain the Six-Claw Demon Emperor, effortlessly extracting the abyssal ruler from the tide of the Abyss. Tang Wulin thrust his Golden Dragon Spear forward, and a surge of immense abyssal energy flooded into his body.
One after another, soul rings rose from beneath his feet—six in total: four black, one green, and one red. The fifth soul ring, which shimmered in a green-gold hue, suddenly blazed with radiant light. Immediately after, a streak of emerald energy shot out from between Tang Wulin's eyebrows.
Cao Dezhi watched in astonishment as a small, sprout-like green pattern appeared on Tang Wulin's forehead, the source of the emerald light.
The beam struck the Six-Claw Demon Emperor squarely in the chest, and a bizarre scene unfolded—the demon emperor's chest seemed to melt, dissolving into a gaping hole. The green light then materialized into a vine covered in lush, verdant leaves, which abruptly burrowed deep into the creature's torso.
"What—what is this?! Ah! Aaaah—!" The Six-Claw Demon Emperor's agonized screams resounded deafeningly, causing the entire domain to tremble violently. Yet, within its chest, a pulsating green glow grew ever brighter.
The Seed of Life had been activated and was now voraciously devouring the essence of the 97th layer of the Abyssal Plane, replenishing itself with the demon emperor's energy.
This was nothing short of glorious. Tang Wulin's actions amounted to reclaiming the Abyssal Plane's foundational essence to restore Douluo Continent—an outcome the Blood God Legion, Blood One, and all of Douluo's inhabitants had fervently hoped for.
"He truly is the Child of the Plane. No matter where he goes, he remains pivotal and radiant," Gu Yue said as she arrived beside Bai Xu, both of them gazing up at the figure within the Blood God Formation.
The seven Blood Gods channeled the power of the plane, aiding Tang Wulin in resisting the abyssal tide. Even the true bodies of the top ten Abyssal Emperors had descended.
"One man holds the pass against ten thousand." With the support of the Blood God Legion's advanced technological equipment, the situation was firmly stabilized. Shockingly, the five Abyssal Monarchs now hesitated to engage Tang Wulin directly.
Yet, in the shadows, others had set their sights on the seven Blood Gods maintaining the formation—as well as Bai Xu and Gu Yuena.
The evil soul masters, having lurked in secrecy for years, had finally found their moment. With the Demon Empress's alliance with the Abyss, they could now be deployed!
And so, a venom-coated dagger silently approached the two from behind—only to be instantly met with the Silver Dragon Spear piercing the assassin's heart.
"A mere Soul Sage dares to ambush us?" Gu Yue sneered. The evil soul masters had gravely underestimated them.
Meanwhile, above in the sky, several Title Douluo-level evil soul masters launched a surprise attack on the Blood Gods. The assault proved devastating—Blood Nine was severely wounded, while the others lost their ability to sustain the formation. Only Blood One retained any strength; the rest were forced to withdraw.
Then came the descent of the Abyssal Sage Emperor.
He had sensed the Seed of Life and resolved to act personally.
"Useless!" A deep, resonant voice echoed throughout the abyssal passage, chastising the failures of his subordinates. In the next instant, the entire passage lit up, bathed in an indescribable pale glow.
The seal over the passage began to fracture, cracks rapidly spreading as the pallid light illuminated every inch of the tunnel.
"We welcome the Sage Emperor!" The Black Emperor and the other five Abyssal Monarchs retreated to the side, their expressions one of reverence—even the Black Emperor, already a monarch of the highest order, was no exception.
"So, it was the Seed of Life from this plane causing trouble?" The majestic voice carried a hint of delight.
"Excellent. To borrow your human saying: 'You find something by chance after searching far and wide.' This saves me the trouble of seeking it out. Once I seize the Seed of Life, this world's life energy will be mine to command. A worthy reward for the millennia I spent breaking this seal."
Tang Wulin truly shouldered the duty of the Child of the Plane. Even as the Seed of Life trembled in fear, he pressed forward without hesitation. Within him resided the spirits of several immortal herbs of beast-king rank. Drawing upon their power and the formation, that sensation of being the master of heaven and earth surged through him once more—this time even more vividly than before.
With a thunderous roar, Tang Wulin unleashed everything—every ounce of energy from Douluo's plane, the power of the Seed of Life, his own bloodline aura, soul power, and all borrowed strength—pouring it unreservedly into the Golden Dragon Spear.
Golden Dragon Nine Techniques, Eighth Form: All-Out Gamble!
Everything unfolded as it had in the original timeline. The Sage Emperor swiftly struck at Tang Wulin, but this time, it was not the Silver Dragon who saved him—but a wisp of divine sense left by Tang San.
It was a force even the Abyssal Sage Emperor could not comprehend, reminiscent of the Divine Realm's God Kings. Yet this power was but a fleeting fragment. Though it repelled the Sage Emperor's attack once, it lacked sustained strength. The azure light halted the drain on Tang Wulin's life force and even reinforced the abyssal seal.
"You are not Douluo's sovereign! You are a God King from the former Divine Realm!" The Sage Emperor's voice was low with fury, laced with disbelief.
A faint blue silhouette materialized, intent on slaying the Sage Emperor where he stood. Yet as the Sea God's Trident swung down, the figure dissipated, its power spent. Tang Wulin's aura was now laid bare before the Abyssal Sage Emperor.
The Sage Emperor laughed wildly. "So that's how it is! To think the Divine Realm left behind a successor! Hahaha! Fortunately, I acted early and uncovered the truth. Excellent! I will return—and when I devour Douluo Continent to ascend as a God King, I will personally storm the Divine Realm to repay today's humiliation!"
His discovery today was nothing short of staggering. The Divine Realm's disappearance was real, and the one who opposed him was merely relying on residual divine power. Soon enough, Douluo's plane would belong to him!

"What do you think?" Bai Xu asked lightly.
"Nothing more than Tang San's feigned weakness," Gu Yue replied. "After today, the Abyssal Sage Emperor will cast aside all caution, believing Douluo Continent has no divine protection—that the only threat is a young man bearing a God King's mark."
"True. But the Sage Emperor has his own schemes," Bai Xu mused.
Gu Yue frowned. "What schemes?"
The plane's spirit within Bai Xu shielded him from detection by Douluo's entities—meaning even Tang Hao, the half-slumbering sovereign of the plane, could not sense him. Tang San's true self would have instantly recognized Bai Xu's origins, but his residual divine sense was too preoccupied with preserving Tang Wulin's life and repelling the Sage Emperor to investigate.
Yet the moment the Abyssal Sage Emperor appeared, his divine perception as a first-tier deity instantly identified the foreign energy within Bai Xu. Thus, he quietly reached out.
"You are not of Douluo Continent," a whisper echoed in Bai Xu's mind.
"Correct. Like you, I hail from another plane."
"Has your plane also set its sights on Douluo?"
"No."
"Then we may have grounds for cooperation. Name what you desire from this continent—once it is mine, it shall be yours."
