Chapter 64: Breaking Through the Seals
The seven-colored airflow was infused into Tang Wulin body and began to elevating his auras. The tenth Golden Dragon King Seal in Tang Wulin's body burst open with a loud bang.
His body was quivering from the overwhelming amount of boundless energy flowing through but somehow it was able to withstand it. The fifth golden ring appeared above Tang Wulin body shimmering with a fierce aura.
Yet it didn't just stop there as the eleventh seal was also broken open, causing his whole body to heat up and turn red.
'Damn, the energy seems to have caused both of them to be released. But Wulin isn't awake to control it.' Thought Old Tang in dismay as he was carefully checking over the condition of Wulin body.
He was scared that Wulin body might burst from the excessive energy but then seven-colored streams of ethereal light started to appear inside of his body. They began to engulf and seep into Tang Wulin as the seals started to stablize.
As this was happening, the vortex for his bloodline started to twist and contort as the seven-colored lights started to make contact with it.
The vortex started condensing into a giant core. The Core was surrounded by a ring of seven-colored light that was orbiting around it. The core itself had scales that were irregular with bizarre shapes and looked like precious gemstones if one didn't know any better.
'He made a blood essence core.' Thought Old Tang.
'Yet this one is different. Could it be he used that Giant Dragon Soul as the foundation?' Thought Old Tang, as he could feel the indescribable aura emitting from the core.
Old Tang watched as Tang Wulin body began to change from both the Golden Dragon Seal and his Dragonslayer powers intertwining with Tang Wulin internal physique.
Unbeknownst to them was a Six Winged Dragon Head Mark was appearing prominently on Wulin forehead and then disappearing.

Tang Wulin opened his eyes after an unknown amount of time had passed. He got up after regaining all of the feelings inside his limbs.
He used his hand to block the rays of sunlight. For some reason, he felt like he hasn't opened his eyes in years.
'I'm not in the dragon valley it seems?' Thought Tang Wulin as he didn't see any Dragon corpse or skeletons.
Not only that but he felt something was off as he began regaining his senses. He shifts his head to his right arm to see his Golden Dragon Spear resting in it.
"Are you ok?" A voice rang out.
Tang Wulin blinks his eyes and shifted his head to see both Zeref and Sleipnir appearing next to him.
"I am but do you know what happened?" Asked Tang Wulin.
"I'm unsure. As after you fell unconscious, your body was swept away by a rift." Said Zeref as he remembered seeing a spatial rift appearing around Acnologia.
Tang Wulin turned toward Sleipnir but she looks like she was thinking about something. Deciding to leave her alone, Tang Wulin began to look around the area.
The forest and trees he around him were enormous compared to the ones he saw in the Spirit Pagoda. The grass and bushes were large enough to reach his ankles.
Before he could begin to walk, he felt a large amount of killing intent directed toward him. Then a tremendous noise and excessive vibrations started occurring around Tang Wulin.
Tang Wulin pulled his head down and then the trees around were slashed apart, as they started to fall down.
'It's coming.' Thought Tang Wulin as he felt the thing that tried to kill him rushing toward him.
Boom!
Roaarrr!
A massive beast jumped out of the enormous forest and landed in front of Tang Wulin. It was a large beast that was four meters long. It had the head of a lion, the body of a porcupine and the tail of a scorpion with a blade at the end.
The beast had two pairs of white wings and blood red eyes, as it glared savagely at Tang Wulin.
'What is that.' Thought Tang Wulin.
The beast roared at Tang Wulin and charged at him. Tang Wulin narrowed his eyes as he began preparing his soul power but then his eyes widen.
He evaded to the left as the beast tail came crashing down on the area he was. The beast turned its eyes toward Tang Wulin and opens its mouth.
Swoosh!
A beam of energy went straight toward Tang Wulin, who smashed it away with his Golden Dragon Spear.
'Why isn't my soul power or bloodline working.' Thought Tang Wulin.
He tried to summon his martial soul to defend against the attack, but it wouldn't answer. In fact, it was the same for all of his rings and even his blood rings.
If that wasn't bad enough his Dragonslayer powers and Time magic weren't activating, as if there was something restricting it.
'Could I still be in the Dragon Valley?'
Tang Wulin didn't have any more time to think as the beast swung its tail toward him. He thrust his hand out and catches the tail causing the beast to look in surprise.
Tang Wulin pulled the beast toward him, but the beast didn't get flustered as it opens its mouth for another energy beam attack.
Tang Wulin narrowed his eyes as the beam of energy smashed into him. He could feel himself being pushed back but that was it.
He began walking closer to the beast, as the intensity of the beams got stronger. The Beast was shocked that something could walk through its energy beam like it was nothing.
As Tang Wulin got closer, he thrust his spear straight through the beast mouth and it came on the other side of its head. The beast was still staring at Tang Wulin with shock in its eyes.
Tang Wulin could feel the Golden Dragon Spear absorbing and leeching the life energy out of the beast.
To his confusion, a soul ring didn't show up but a ball of light that shot up and went straight through his body. Yet against his expectation, he didn't feel himself getting stronger or is body heating up.
'So, it isn't the Dragon Valley?'
Tang Wulin wrenched his spear out and sighed as saw the burn marks on his body. Although he is surprised that he only got just burn marks.
'Did my body really improve that much from that old man's training?' Thought Tang Wulin.
'No.' A voice rang out causing Tang Wulin to recognize it was Old Tangs.
'Your body was able to improve this much because while you were sleeping, the seals broke.' Said Old Tang.
'It broke?' Thought Tang Wulin in surprise.
"When you were being bathed in those streams of energy, a giant dragon soul was able to enter your body. When it entered, it caused your body to be filled with energy and allowing you to break the next two seals." Said Old Tang, causing Tang Wulin eyes to widen.
'Two seals broke at the same time?' Tang Wulin questioned with a grimace.
"Suprise on why you're still alive? You should thank that seven-colored energy, as somehow it was able to stabilize the seals and cause more changes to your body. You didn't notice since for some reason your blood essence and soul power are cut off but you gain a Blood Core." Said Old Tang.
'A blood core?' Asked Tang Wulin.
'A core form from your blood essence. This is the start of you being able to transfer the Golden Dragon King essence into yourself. Being able to become the new Golden Dragon King or something immeasurably greater." Said Old Tang.
"As you know, the first nine seals were made to give you time to adapt to the Golden Dragon King power and the final nine seals contained its full power. When you ultimately break the final seal, you will fully gain its full power. Before I was going to warn you to be careful of the Golden Dragon King left over will. But I have come to learn your not one to kneel to anything or anyone." Said Old Tang, as recalled all the things Tang Wulin as done.
Tang Wulin nodded his head, as he finally understands why his body was stronger.
"As you know, the Golden Dragon King is apart of the Dragon God. If you absorbed its power, then you would gain the body and abilities of the Dragon God, that caused even the God-Kings to be terrified." Said Old Tang.
'So with the Golden Dragon King, I would have the physical prowess of a Godking?' Questioned Tang Wulin.
"Yes, but not just one of a Godking but the strongest one. Hence why the last few seals are going to be very hard for you to fully absorb. Your progress so far can be considered extremely fast and extraordinary. With the eleventh seal broken, it's not wrong to say you have the extraordinary strength of a Hyper Douluo." Said Old Tang causing Tang Wulin to be shocked.
Let it be known he had the strength of a Spirit Sage back when he absorbed the ninth seal and now it shot up to a Hyper Douluo. The difference between those two is to be considered like heaven and earth.
Tang Wulin has finally understood the terrifying power of the Golden Dragon King.
'So would my strength reach Limit Douluo when I open the next seal?' Thought Tang Wulin, causing Old Tang to nod his head.
"The twelveth seal is the limits of a mortal body. Once you open the thirteen seal and onwards, you would gain the power of a god." Said Old Tang as he began to go quiet.
After hearing Old Tang, he began thinking about the future. Right now, Tang Wulin knew he had the strength of a Hyper Douluo but he cants access any of his powers.
"Well at least your able to still talk to us." Said Zeref, causing Tang Wulin to nod his head.
"Anyway, it's best if you check around the area. I feel something is wrong." Said Sleipnir as her face scrunched up in worry.
It was then Tang Wulin started to hear multiple roars ranging through the overgrown forest.
Three beasts similar to the one he killed jump straight out of the overgrown forest and began to glare at Tang Wulin with murder in its eyes.
