Chapter 260: Dragon Clouds
After being sucked into a black spatial rift, not long after Tang Wulin felt the scenery before him change, and he fell out of the rift.
Realizing he was falling toward the ground, Tang Wulin instinctively tried to use his Blue Silver Emperor to aid his landing, but he was shocked to discover that his soul power and martial soul had been sealed, rendering them unusable.
Tang Wulin twitched the corner of his mouth speechlessly, curled up his body, and prepared to meet the impact of landing.
He estimated this height; at most his body would just feel a bit numb.
At that moment, two resonant dragon cries rang out; a red and a blue dragon shot out from the rift in the air, caught him mid‑air, and excitedly soared.
Tang Wulin was somewhat surprised; he had never encountered powerful soul spirits before, and he hadn't expected them to be capable of this.
He lightly patted the Fire Dragon King beneath him.
"Sir, can you put me down on the ground?"
Although it wouldn't have been wrong to let the two dragon kings take him directly to his destination, he was, after all, a young man; having arrived in this new territory, curiosity took over, and he wanted to see how this place differed from the outside world.
The Fire Dragon King nodded in a very human‑like way, dove toward the ground, then abruptly stopped just before reaching the surface, lowering his body to signal him to disembark.
Tang Wulin jumped down from the Fire Dragon King's back and began to survey the surrounding scenery.
The place where the Fire Dragon King landed was a vast plain, covered with waist‑high wild grass; the endless prairie made one feel relaxed and cheerful.
Soon, Tang Wulin discovered how this world differed from the Douluo Continent.
In the sky of this world, clouds of various colors floated, each taking the shape of a dragon, looking extraordinarily strange.
"What are these clouds?" he thought, then asked the Water Dragon King who had landed beside him:
"What are these clouds? Besides their shape, how do they differ from the clouds outside?"
The Water Dragon King glanced at him, then answered his question with action.
All they saw was it raising its head and letting out a dragon roar; then, under Tang Wulin's astonished gaze, the dragon clouds across the entire sky surged into turmoil.
"Damn…"
Seeing the sky‑filling dragon clouds rushing toward him, Tang Wulin felt an urge to flee, but seeing the two dragon kings beside him unmoved, he steeled himself and suppressed that impulse.
He believed these two soul spirits would not harm him.
As expected, when the dragon clouds passed through him, he was shocked to discover many strange sensations rising from within his body.
Scorching, ethereal, substantial, cool, warm, yin‑cold, illusory… under the influence of these strange sensations, Tang Wulin felt his bloodline power gradually growing stronger.
And when those dragon clouds left him and drifted back into the sky, they too took on a golden hue.
"What… is this?" Tang Wulin blinked, murmuring, "Could it be a fusion of bloodlines?"
Each shared the finest aspect of their own bloodline with the other, thereby achieving mutual benefit.
The two dragon kings nodded together, obviously agreeing with his conjecture.
Soon, as more and more dragon clouds passed through his body, he felt his internal energy gradually overflowing; he hastily sat down and, without realizing it, entered deep meditation.
The two dragon kings stood guard beside him, silently watching.
Unlike Tang Wulin, they did not need to absorb these dragon clouds.
Tang Wulin needed to absorb them because his bloodline is that of the Gold Dragon King, a pure Blood Qi Dragon King with no elemental attribute—in other words, he can absorb any elemental property.
But they are different; they are top‑tier Elemental Dragon Kings, already possessing the ultimate elemental attribute within themselves—same‑attribute dragon clouds give them no boost, while other attributes could only contaminate their purity, so it's better not to absorb them.
Time slipped by second by second; in the blink of an eye, a month had passed in this small world. Tang Wulin opened his eyes, astonished to find that upon waking, the world before his eyes seemed altogether different from before.
He could even see tiny specks of elemental light in the air; although most of them were unusable, he could control the blue, red, and green elemental essences.
Seeing Tang Wulin awaken, the Fire Dragon King let out a low growl and gently nudged him with its claw, indicating it was time to move on.
Tang Wulin nearly stumbled from the nudge, laughing helplessly, "Got it, got it, I'm heading out now."
While saying that, he headed toward the depths of this small world.
He could sense that something there was faintly attracting him.
Soon, he encountered an unexpected turn of events.
Tang Wulin narrowed his eyes toward the distant forest and saw, to his surprise, a two‑meter‑tall earth dragon there.
There are actually soul beasts here? He stomped his foot, and his whole body shot forward like a cannonball, arriving before the earth dragon in the blink of an eye.
Perhaps because his speed was truly too fast, coupled with the terrifying bloodline aura on him, the earth dragon looked as if it had been frightened stupid, not daring to move at all.
Only when Tang Wulin reached out to touch it did it let out a frightened cry and turn to flee.
"Uh…"
Tang Wulin felt a bit embarrassed; just as he was about to lower his hand, he heard a tremendous dragon roar.
Under the shock of that tremendous dragon roar, the earth dragon exploded outright, turning into a surge of energy that shot into Tang Wulin's body.
Upon the energy entering his body, Tang Wulin felt his blood and qi rise slightly, and at the same time sensed his bloodline producing an emotion toward this energy.
That emotion seemed to be… disdain? Exactly, it was disdain.
As soon as that thought arose, Tang Wulin affirmed his judgment.
His Gold Dragon King bloodline within him despised the worthless bloodline of the earth dragon.
He helplessly looked toward the culprit beside him.
"You guys, don't do this; it's unnecessary."
He himself had no desire to kill it; since the earth dragon had no intention of attacking him, he might as well let it escape, and he didn't care either way.
Doing so was superfluous; it didn't help him at all and actually made his bloodline dissatisfied.
"Whine…"
Upon hearing Tang Wulin say that, the Water Dragon King couldn't help but emit a plaintive sound, looking distressed.
Tang Wulin hurriedly stroked its head and comforted it:
"It's fine; I'm not blaming you, just please don't do that again, okay?"
Hearing him say that, the Water Dragon King's eyes lit up and it nodded frantically.
Watching its delighted expression, Tang Wulin felt a bit amused.
As the time spent together increased, he increasingly discovered that these two Dragon Kings, in the state of having lost the vast majority of their consciousness, reacted almost like human children.
Is he looking for two Dragon Kings, or raising two Huskies? (End of chapter)
