Bonus Chapter. Enjoy!
============================
At the same moment Tang Wulin awoke from his dream, at the center of the valley, Huo Yuhao was pushing against the force of Destruction, struggling to move forward step by step.
His clothes had long been soaked with sweat, and then evaporated dry by the force of Destruction, repeatedly leaving white salt stains on the fabric.
Judging from his experience over the past few days, today he should be able to advance to a distance of twenty-five meters.
However, just as he gritted his teeth and persisted, suddenly, he keenly sensed that the surrounding force of Destruction seemed to weaken slightly.
Huo Yuhao stopped his footsteps, his brows furrowed slightly, and he closed his eyes, concentrating to feel it carefully.
That aura of Destruction, which had originally crushed down on him like a physical substance, was now actually slowly receding.
He opened his eyes, confirming that his feeling was not wrong; the force of Destruction was indeed weakening, and by no small margin.
Just then, a beam of emerald green light shot up into the sky from the direction behind him. The life aura that was already abundant on Devil Island surged geometrically at a nearly violent speed the moment this beam of light appeared.
Huo Yuhao turned his head sharply to look in the direction of that emerald green beam of light, and at the same time, he clearly felt that the surrounding force of Destruction was rapidly decreasing at a speed synchronized with the surge of life force.
He did not know what had happened over there, nor did he understand why these two forces of Destruction and Life, which should have been unrelated, were now linked as if one grew while the other waned.
But he knew that this was absolutely a once-in-a-thousand-years Opportunity.
Given the degree of decay of the surrounding force of Destruction at this moment, he would absolutely have no problem rushing directly to that fragment of Destruction.
Immediately, Huo Yuhao stopped overthinking, and without caring about the fatigue of his body and mind, he strode forward and rushed towards the purple-black beam of light at the very center of the valley.
On the other side, Nightmare and Destruction were standing on the grass, their four old eyes staring fixedly at the just-awakened Tang Wulin, dumbfounded.
That emerald green beam of life light that shot into the sky had actually "emerged" from Tang Wulin's body.
Destruction swallowed his saliva, turned his head to look at Nightmare beside him, and his voice was even a bit stuttering: "This kid... what is going on with this kid again? Life tide, this is a life tide!"
Nightmare on the side was also completely confused, his wrinkled old face filled with the expression of "Don't ask me, I don't know either."
He spread his hands, his voice a bit floaty: "How would I know? None of the Little freaks sent this time are simple."
Tang Wulin, who was closing his eyes to recover his Spirit Power, was completely unaware of everything happening in the outside world.
He only felt that his whole person was extremely comfortable right now; his limbs and bones were wrapped in a warm, vibrant force, and every pore was greedily absorbing that life force which was so dense it was almost liquid.
This force was gentle and majestic; it was like a silent spring rain, silently penetrating into every corner of his body.
Tang Wulin could clearly feel that his flesh, bones, and Meridians were constantly evolving at an incredible speed under the nourishment of this life force, becoming tougher, purer, and more vibrant.
This unprecedented experience made him immerse himself completely in it, completely forgetting the passage of time.
As his consciousness gradually settled into the depths of this life aura, Tang Wulin was surprised to find that blurred images began to slowly emerge in his mind.
It was also at this time that "Old Tang," who had been sleeping quietly in the depths of Tang Wulin's Spiritual Sea, slowly opened his eyes.
Old Tang, as a wisp of will left by the Sea God Tang San in this Divine Sense, was naturally more than familiar with the auras of the gods in the God Realm.
At this moment, the aura contained in the emerald green light surging from Tang Wulin's body was identified by him almost immediately; it was the aura of the Goddess of Life.
During the turmoil in the God Realm back then, he was imprisoned by the God of Destruction's scheme and lost his freedom.
At that time, although the Goddess of Life did not intervene to save him, she ultimately still harbored compassion.
Therefore, after he was imprisoned, the Goddess of Life exhausted one-tenth of her own Origin Divine Power and sent a blessing of "Kiss of Life" to Tang Wulin, the child who had not yet been born.
Old Tang's Divine Sense swept silently across the surrounding valley, and after a moment, he had already investigated the situation almost completely.
Even with his experience, he couldn't help but marvel secretly in his heart.
Unexpectedly, after the Goddess of Life and the God of Destruction both fell, their power fragments had actually crossed the endless Void Realm and finally fell onto the Douluo Continent.
The changes in Tang Wulin's body at this moment were precisely because the "Kiss of Life" blessing left by the Goddess of Life back then had resonated strongly with the remnant aura of the Goddess of Life in this ruin, which had triggered such a spectacular life tide.
However, no matter how one looked at it, this was a huge good thing. Tang Wulin's body was undergoing a transformation that was like a rebirth; after he woke up, both his physical body and talent would rise to a new level.
Old Tang put his mind at ease, and that wisp of Divine Sense that had just awakened sank quietly back into the depths of the Spiritual Sea, falling into slumber once again.
Because of the appearance of the life tide, the Spirit Beasts in the sea around Devil Island all became active.
The sea area around Devil Island was not considered deep sea, but it gathered a staggering number of Ten Thousand Years Spirit Beasts all year round.
It was precisely the once-in-a-century life tide of Devil Island that continuously nourished this sea area, which made so many sea Spirit Beasts willing to dwell here.
And Huo Yuhao would naturally not miss this once-in-a-thousand-years Opportunity. He took advantage of the surge in life aura and the comprehensive suppression of the force of Destruction, and his figure rushed towards the center of the valley like an arrow released from a bowstring.
In an instant, he covered a distance of over a hundred meters and stood firmly directly under that purple-black beam of light.
This purple-black beam of light was much dimmer than what he had seen before, and directly under the beam of light, there was a purple crystal about a person's height. The crystal was translucent throughout, and inside, there were faint deep purple streamers of light slowly moving, like a living creature sealed in amber.
The surface of the crystal was not smooth; it was covered with naturally formed edges and patterns. In every pattern, thick, almost liquid purple-black light flowed. This should be the largest fragment of Destruction that the old demon Destruction spoke of.
Standing before the fragment of Destruction, Huo Yuhao could clearly feel that the force of Destruction had not truly disappeared; the life tide had only temporarily suppressed it inside this purple crystal.
He cautiously extended his right hand and gently placed his palm on the surface of the fragment of Destruction.
The contact point was not as ice-cold and piercing as he had imagined; instead, it carried a slightly warm touch.
Just as Huo Yuhao concentrated and calmed his Qi, preparing to carefully investigate what kind of Opportunity was hidden in this fragment of Destruction, his consciousness suddenly drifted for a moment without any warning.
That feeling was extremely brief; he didn't even have time to be surprised before he found himself in a completely unfamiliar space.
This space was extremely peculiar; it seemed to have no up, down, left, or right, no boundary between heaven and earth, and all directions were filled with Chaos-like void.
However, this void was not empty; the entire space was filled with two completely different colors.
One was the domineering and violent purple-black, and the other was the emerald green he had just witnessed.
But this was by no means as simple as just two colors. Huo Yuhao could clearly feel that what was contained in the purple-black was the force of Destruction he had personally experienced before, while what was surging in the emerald green was the life aura that was dense to the extreme.
Destruction and life—these two forces that should have been incompatible and mutually repellent—were not in a state of clearly defined confrontation as he had imagined in this space.
The two forces were like two giant Dragons Binding each other, intersecting, penetrating, and undergoing Fusion; faint emerald green light shone through the purple-black, and purple-black light filaments flowed within the emerald green.
They seemed to maintain a very delicate and fragile balance between each other.
Just as Huo Yuhao wanted to further investigate this space, a low voice suddenly came out.
"God of Emotions?!"
