The Legend of the Dragon King - Chapter 730

Chapter 730: Burying the Dragon for a Thousand Days

However, even the powerful Tang Sect had no way to confirm the situation in the small world due to the change in the space-time properties of that realm . It was already an impressive act for them to utilize a small world, so how could they search for a fallen small world then?

However, a month was still wasted and they would need to return today .

Gu Yue stood quietly on the ship's bow as she looked into the distance . Ever since Tang Wulin parted ways with the group, she sank into deep silence . She was even quieter after discovering Tang Wulin's disappearance, to the point that she would not utter even a single word throughout the day .

Although everyone had an anxious heart, they were truly helpless when it came to a small world that had gone missing . There was absolutely no way to find him!

"He's a cat with nine lives . The captain will be fine for sure," Yue Zhengyu sighed as he spoke .

Xu Xiaoyan pouted her lips . "We shouldn't have come on this trip if we knew that it would go so badly!"

Yuanen Yehui sighed before speaking, "What's the point of saying this now? He's already missing . I don't understand why he left us in the beginning and refused to join us in our travel .

At that moment, everyone's' gaze fell on Gu Yue in unison .

Although they did not exactly understand what was going on, they could roughly guess that Tang Wulin's departure was related to Gu Yue . It was only because both of them kept to themselves that everyone else remained in guessing .

Xie Xie could not help but ask Gu Yue, "Hey, Tang Wulin has been missing for so long, aren't you even a little anxious?"

Gu Yue looked toward him as she suddenly spoke, "He's going to be fine . "

Xie Xie's eyes reddened when Gu Yue said that . "What do you mean he's going to be fine . He has been missing for so long, what did you do aside from keeping to yourself? You barely even uttered a word! We've all done our best to look for him and yet, you were so quiet you didn't even say anything . It wasn't like this when we were still in the academy . Why have you changed into this?"

"That's enough . " Yuanen Yehui tugged at Xie Xie arm .

Although he was a little impulsive, he definitely managed to voice out some of their companions' thoughts .

Gu Yue had truly changed ever since they arrived on Star Luo Continent .

"I'll be waiting for his return to Shrek," Gu Yue seemed completely unaffected by Xie Xie's words as she muttered to herself .

…

"Huff, huff, huff, huff!" At this exact moment, Tang Wulin was gasping for big gulps of air but his eyes were filled with excitement .

The entire Dragon Clan graveyard was now empty and spacious . There was only one final skeleton that lay before him . It was also the largest one amongst all the true dragon skeletons which belonged to the Mountain Dragon King .

The Mountain Dragon King was not only large in its overall volume, but every piece of its bone was also the largest among the rest in size . The high-density skeletons had an indescribable texture . It felt heavy, compressed, and it was as if every piece was a portion a mountain or river .

Tang Wulin dismantled its skeleton with great effort and spent at least a dozen times longer than what he needed for the regular true dragon bones before he managed to place the bones into a deep hole he had dug .

It was a thousand-meter-deep hole! After digging the hole, he lost track of how long he took to make that hole so deep .

The soul skills he created and those from his bloodline were used thousands, possibly even tens of thousands of times from when he started burying the bones . At this point in time, it had already become second nature to his body .

"Goodbye! I'm finally leaving when I'm done burying you . " Tang Wulin looked at the Mountain Dragon King's skeleton and smiled . Then, he began to push the surrounding soil into the giant hole . Yes, this is the final push! Once he completed the burial of the Mountain Dragon King's skeleton, his vow would be complete .

The dreary aura within the Dragon Clan graveyard had already vanished . Tang Wulin made some changes to the sides of the tombstones by planting small plants beside it . After planting them, they seemed to be growing extremely well and they added a touch of green along with a source of life to the Dragon Clan graveyard .

"Hum!" A ball of yellow radiance condensed by the Mountain Dragon King's side . Another dragon soul appeared just like the day before it dashed at Tang Wulin once again .

The dragon soul was still humongous . It still had a height of more than thirty meters despite only having ten percent of the Mountain Dragon King's strength . It had no wings so it seemed a little clumsy as it crawled out of the hole .

Tang Wulin could not help laughing . "I've been telling you since yesterday that there's no need for that! Keep the energy for yourself . I can leave when I'm done burying you . "

The humongous dragon soul arrived before Tang Wulin's face . It did not open its mouth but its deep eyes were filled with the light of intellect . Its hind legs began bending as it slowly kneeled before Tang Wulin . The dragon soul lowered its head and rubbed its humungous head against his body . Then, streams of yellow light instantly began surging into Tang Wulin's body like a swarm of bees .

The dragon soul formed from the Mountain Dragon King was the densest among the other dragon bones . Tang Wulin would not starve or feel any thirst for the next seven days and nights after absorbing its dragon soul just once .

His body felt bloated once again and the soil in his surroundings seemed like they were being drawn into the giant hole on their own accord .

Tang Wulin smiled . It had proven itself as the Mountain Dragon King! Even the remnants remaining in its skeleton was capable of such powers .

The giant hole was gradually filled while the Mountain Dragon King's enormous body gradually disappeared and with that, the final dragon was buried .

The Mountain Dragon King's dragon soul gradually faded as well while its energy was continuously absorbed into Tang Wulin's body .

"Ahh . " Tang Wulin suddenly let out a gentle sigh because he saw a translucent bone that was gradually appeared in the Mountain Dragon King's gradually fading soul . The bone seemed slightly peculiar with the endless striations on its surface along with a gentle glow that made it incomparably dazzling .

'This is… A soul bone?'

"Hey, you've left out a piece of your own bone . I'll bury it later," Tang Wulin hastily spoke to the giant hole that was gradually being filled .

However, the soul of the Mountain Dragon King that was almost faded shook its head at him . It raised its front claw and pointed it at him .  Then, it pointed toward itself once more before nodding at him .

Tang Wulin asked in astonishment, "Are you saying that you want to gift it to me?

The Mountain Dragon King nodded . Tang Wulin could see an intense and extreme kindness in its eyes .

"Whoosh!"

The crystal clear soul bone shimmering with a dazzling radiance flew to Tang Wulin . He did not manage to react as it surged into his body following the dragon soul's energy .

Within a split second, Tang Wulin could only feel his body turning heavy as he subconsciously sat on the ground . His entire now felt frozen, and the only thing he felt was as if he had turned into a mountain . A mountain connected to the ground with an endless surge of energy surging toward it from every direction before they fused into his body .

At this moment, he seemed to hear the giant dragons cheer with joyous dragon roars from beneath the ground . It was as if they were thanking his deeds .

The dreariness was now gone as they had finally found a home that truly belonged to them . Tang Wulin smiled . Yes, they were now resting in peace in a quiet place . It finally allowed them to rest after their death regardless of how they were when they were alive . They could finally regard this stretch of land as their home .

He hoped that nobody would ever come and disturb them in the future any longer .

Tang Wulin pursed his lips with a gentle smile on his face . "My friends, I'm not sure how I should address all of you . I've been spending all this time together with you and although I've been doing the same thing every single day, I've never felt a single dull moment for some reason .  I can feel the emotional fluctuations radiating from every single one of you and I can feel your pleasure, anger, sorrow, and joy . Thank you, for keeping me company . Although I haven't the slightest idea how long I've been here, I'll never regret it . This moment . . . I'll remember for the rest of my life . "
