The brilliant beam of light that had just pierced a hundred meters of the night sky, along with the thunderous roar of the dormitory walls collapsing, was like a sudden clap of thunder, instantly tearing through the peaceful night of Donghai Academy's holiday!
Although most teachers and students had left the school, there were still a few remaining students and teachers on duty.
This sudden and terrifying disturbance jolted them awake from their dreams or meditation.
Wu Changkong reacted the fastest; like a bolt of white lightning, he arrived at the scene in just a few leaps.
The first thing that caught his eye was the shocking, massive crater outside the dormitory building and the cracks spreading across the surrounding ground.
He leaned down to investigate the bottom of the pit, where the air was filled with two distinct but heart-palpitating energy residues.
"Such terrifying energy."
Wu Changkong's thoughts raced, his expression becoming increasingly solemn.
He immediately looked up, following the straight line formed by the crater and the huge hole in the dormitory wall; that was the direction of Tang Wulin's room!
"This is bad!"
Wu Changkong's expression changed abruptly, his Spirit Power exploded fully, and his figure turned into an afterimage as he rushed into the damaged dormitory building at high speed.
Wu Changkong reached the door of Tang Wulin's dormitory at top speed. Stepping into the room, his gaze immediately locked onto the bed.
He saw Tang Wulin lying safely on his bed, eyes tightly shut, breathing evenly, his chest rising and falling gently with each breath, seemingly immersed in a deep sleep, completely oblivious to the earth-shattering changes around him.
Seeing that his Disciple was unharmed, the tension in Wu Changkong's heart relaxed slightly.
But then, he realized something was wrong.
With such an earth-shattering noise so close by, how could Tang Wulin still be sleeping so soundly?
He immediately stepped forward, gently shook Tang Wulin's shoulder, and called out in a low voice: "Wulin! Wulin!"
"Hmm...?"
Tang Wulin's eyelids fluttered, he let out a dazed hum, and slowly opened his eyes.
When he saw that the person in front of him was Wu Changkong, a look of genuine surprise and confusion appeared on his face: "Teacher? Why... why are you here?"
Wu Changkong stared into his eyes and asked in a deep voice: "Just now, did you hear any unusual sounds?"
Tang Wulin blinked, tried hard to remember, and then shook his head earnestly: "No, Teacher."
His expression didn't seem fake, and his clear eyes held the confusion of someone who had just woken up.
At that moment, a gust of night wind blew through the damaged wall, pouring into the room with a chill.
Tang Wulin instinctively shrunk his neck and turned his head toward the direction of the wind.
The next second, his eyes widened, his mouth opened slightly, and he was completely stunned.
He saw that one side of the dormitory wall... was gone!
In its place was a huge hole with jagged edges!
Moonlight and night wind poured in unhindered, illuminating the mess inside the room.
"This... this is..."
Tang Wulin's voice was filled with unbelievable shock... Donghai Spirit Pagoda, Gu Yue's room.
The night was as deep as ink, and everything was silent.
However, Gu Yue had no desire to sleep at this moment. She stood quietly by the window, her gaze seemingly fixed on the sleeping city outside, but her mind had long since drifted away.
At this hour... Di Tian should have already made his move.
She calculated in her heart that if she could successfully extract and fuse the Golden Dragon King's Bloodline Power, her strength would undergo a qualitative leap.
At that time, her grand plan to promote the revival of the Spirit Beast race would also have a greater chance of success.
Just as her thoughts were churning, weighing the various possibilities after success... behind her, space fluctuated violently without warning!
Sensing something, Gu Yue turned around abruptly!
She saw the air in the center of the room being torn apart as if by an invisible hand, and a tall but staggering figure tumbled out, falling heavily onto the floor with a dull thud.
The moment she saw the newcomer, Gu Yue's face changed drastically!
The person slumped on the ground with a withered aura was none other than Di Tian!
Di Tian's cold face was now as pale as paper, without a hint of blood.
At the corner of his mouth, dark golden blood was constantly overflowing, dripping down his chin and spreading into a startling stain on the polished floor.
Even more shocking was his chest; Di Tian's right hand was tightly covering it, but between his fingers, Gu Yue could clearly see a fist-sized hole.
The black dragon scales that originally covered it had long since shattered, revealing a mangled wound beneath, where even the pale white bones were faintly visible.
Moreover, at the edge of the wound, there was a layer of blue-gold light spots that seemed to be preventing Di Tian's self-healing ability as a Dragon King.
Gu Yue stepped forward. Without even touching him, just by perception, her expression became extremely solemn.
What was contained in those blue-gold light spots was definitely not the Spirit Power of the continent, but a higher level of energy.
Gu Yue slowly straightened up, cold light flashing in her dark eyes, as she said word by word: "Divine Power?!"
Di Tian endured the excruciating pain in his chest that seemed to tear his Soul apart and struggled to sit upright.
In the gaze he directed at Gu Yue, there was both the lingering fear and terror of having just walked past the gates of hell, as well as the deep guilt of failing to complete the task assigned by his Lord.
"Lord..."
Di Tian's voice was hoarse and low due to the pain, and every word seemed to take all his strength:
"It's... the Sea God!"
"Tang Wulin's body... has measures left by the Sea God."
"I... this injury was caused by the Sea God's Light..."
Gasping for breath, he intermittently reported his recent experience at Donghai Academy to Gu Yue in detail."Sea God... Tang San?!"
Hearing this, Gu Yue's expression suddenly became even more solemn, her brows furrowed.
In her memories that had not yet fully recovered, the Dragon God had fallen under the Asura Sword!
And Tang San, this human, had actually inherited the two great God Positions of Sea God and Asura God simultaneously!
Towards such an opponent who held the authority of the God Realm, even Gu Yue, as the Silver Dragon King, instinctively felt a strong sense of wariness and pressure.
Di Tian's breathing was rapid as he continued: "Lord, Tang Wulin has the backup plan of this Sea God. The Golden Dragon King's Bloodline Power... I'm afraid... it will be difficult to retrieve."
Gu Yue fell silent for a moment, seemingly lost in thought.
After a long while, she slowly spoke: "I couldn't understand why the Golden Dragon King's Bloodline would appear in a human."
"Now it seems that Tang San is the mastermind behind all this."
She paced to the window, looking at the deep night sky: "If the God Realm were still there, Tang San's true body could descend to the Lower Realm at any time, and there would naturally be no chance."
"But now, the God Realm has vanished without a trace. The power he left on Tang Wulin is limited; using it once consumes a portion."
"As long as... we plan carefully and proceed slowly, there may still be a chance."
Hearing this, Di Tian's dim dragon eyes brightened slightly.
Indeed, although the Sea God was strong, his Lord was the half-body of the Dragon God, the Silver Dragon King Gu Yuena, who was definitely not weaker than any Divinity!
Now that the God Realm was cut off, it was the best time for the Lord to rise and for the Spirit Beasts to flourish!
His sense of failure diminished slightly, and he hurriedly said respectfully: "The Lord is wise!"
Gu Yue turned around, her gaze falling back on the terrifying wound on Di Tian's chest.
"Your injuries are extremely severe, and the erosion of divine force is no small matter. I will heal you and help you disperse this Sea God's Light."
Di Tian shook his head without hesitation, his expression resolute: "Lord, you must not! Your power has not yet been fully unsealed and recovered. Forcing yourself to heal me will damage your Origin!"
"Although this Seagod's Light is troublesome, it is ultimately water without a source. If I return to the core of Star Dou and use the nourishment of the Lake of Life, I can slowly wear it down over time."
"Please, Lord, prioritize your own recovery and the great cause of our race!"
Looking at Di Tian's pale but exceptionally firm and persistent eyes due to the pain, Gu Yue fell silent for a moment.
Finally, she could only nod slowly: "Very well, I will have Bi Ji come and take you back to Star Dou."
"Yes, thank you for your understanding, Lord!" Di Tian then asked another question: "What about Tang Wulin's side...?"
Gu Yue let out a breath and said slowly: "You don't need to worry about that matter. We must plan it carefully!"
