This was a burly man who was over two meters tall with solid cords of muscle bulging under his clothes. However, despite his appearance, none of the passersby seemed to have noticed him.
Only after Tang Wulin had reached him did the burly man raise his head to reveal a set of facial features that looked as if they had been chiseled out of marble. A threatening light flashed in his eyes as he said, "I finally found you."
Tang Wulin's entire body was tensed up, and both his soul core and dragon core were ready to erupt at a moment's notice. He knew that if he wanted to get away, he would have to at least withstand one attack from the man and cause a massive commotion.
The Battle God Hall was situated in Bright City, and he was counting on them to rescue him.
As his spiritual power had become more advanced, his judgment had also become sharper, and he could clearly sense that this man was even more dangerous than Yuanen Zhentian. He was definitely no less powerful than Infernal King Douluo Harosha, which meant that he was a quasigod.
There was most likely no one else in Bright City who could compare with his power, and the most concerning thing to Tang Wulin was that he had no idea who this was. The first possibility that sprang into his mind was that this man was from the Holy Spirit Cult.
In the face of this immense pressure, Tang Wulin's latent potential was being activated to a great extent, and countless thoughts were flying through his mind. His greatest asset was the two remaining chances to use Unpredictable Storm left to him by his father, but he had no idea how to activate it.
"How are you related to Tang San?" the burly man asked.
No one had ever asked Tang Wulin this question before, and this was his biggest secret, so his first reaction to this question was one of astonishment. He clearly wasn't expecting to be posed such a question.
Tang Wulin had considered countless reasons why the burly man had sought him out, but never did he think that the man would ask him something like this.
"Answer me and I'll let you live." A burst of killing intent began to emanate from the burly man's body, striking Tang Wulin with a sense of asphyxiation.
Tang Wulin raised his head with a steely look in his eyes. "How do you know I'm related to Tang San?"
"Your martial soul is the Bluesilver Emperor, and Tang San was the only one who possessed that martial soul. Tang San hasn't left any descendants in this world, so this martial soul shouldn't exist," the burly man said.
Tang Wulin faltered slightly upon hearing this. He hadn't expected the man to have analyzed the matter from that perspective, and he didn't know whether to admit the truth or not. This man was clearly extremely powerful, but he didn't know whether the man was friend or foe. If he were to admit the truth only for it to be spread, then he could be in a world of trouble.
The child of a god would present an enormous amount of temptation to the Limit Douluos of this world seeking to make that final breakthrough; it was very likely that he would be captured and studied like some type of lab rat.
However, if he didn't tell the truth, would he be able to escape from this man?
Just as Tang Wulin was hesitating about how to proceed, the burly man suddenly harrumphed coldly before reaching out toward his shoulder.
All of a sudden, Tang Wulin felt as if there were a mountain crashing down toward him, and it seemed that the entire world around him had instantly congealed. This was clearly the power of laws.
He had only just begun to familiarize himself with the laws of heaven and earth, but this man seemed to have completely mastered the utilization of the power of laws, and there was a massive disparity between the two.
Tang Wulin's eyes instantly turned golden, and his right hand transformed into a claw as he grabbed toward the burly man's hand, unleashing his abridged Dragon Emperor Break in the process.
The surrounding air twisted and warped, and the oncoming power of laws began to tremor, even showing signs of collapsing.
"Hmm?" The burly man was rather taken aback by this, but his right hand suddenly seemed to expand.
The surrounding area instantly became blurry and indistinct, and Tang Wulin felt like there was a hand-shaped mountain descending toward him from above.
Tang Wulin gritted his teeth and resisted with all his might.
The mountain abruptly disintegrated, and his Dragon Emperor Break finally took effect, freeing him from the enormous pressure he was being placed under.
However, the burly man's hand still managed to grab onto his shoulder. He had managed to restrict the man's soul skill, but was unable to restrict his powerful hand.
His shoulder was struck by a numb sensation, and he felt like all of his power had been instantly suppressed.
The burly man smiled, and said, "Not bad, you've improved since last time."
Before Tang Wulin had a chance to interpret his words, the surrounding air suddenly twisted and warped, and he instantly vanished on the spot.
Was this instantaneous teleportation? Just how powerful was this man to be able to do this?
The entire world blurred around Tang Wulin, and the immense spatial pressure caused him to reflexively release his own soul power. Strangely enough, the burly man hadn't sealed away his power, so he was able to draw upon it at will; it was just that he couldn't release this power out of his own body.
Everything gradually became clearer again amid a flash of light, and Tang Wulin was struck by a rush of intense dizziness, but he also found himself breathing in a lungful of incredibly fresh air.
He focused his attention to find that he had arrived in a world that was full of life essence. Everything around him was covered in lush greenery, and the temperature was also just right, making for a very comfortable environment.
"This is the Myriad Beast Plane!" Indeed, the Myriad Beast Plane was the only place other than the Great Star Dou Forest where he had seen such an environment. On top of that, this man came from none other than the Myriad Beast Plane! It seemed that he was able to traverse between this plane and the Douluo Continent at will.
The burly man smiled, and said, "You're a smart kid. Now then, give me your answer."
Tang Wulin turned to look at the burly man, and he finally figured out who this man was.
"You're the Titan Giant Ape? Looks like I guessed right that day." Tang Wulin's voice was trembling slightly.
"So you know of me," the burly man said as his eyes narrowed slightly.
A wry smile appeared on Tang Wulin's face. "Everyone who knows about Tang San's history knows of you as well; you're a legendary figure on the Douluo Continent."
The burly man chuckled, "Is that so? I didn't think you'd figure it out so quickly. Alright, that's enough chit-chat; answer my question. If your answer doesn't satisfy me, I wouldn't be opposed to making you into fertilizer for this place. This small world isn't very stable and requires more energy to sustain. With your powers and your basic mastery of the power of laws, you'll be the perfect fertilizer for this small world."
Tang Wulin said, "If you really are the Titan Giant Ape and Sky Azure Bull Python, then you shouldn't be doing this. Aren't you supposed to be good friends of Tang San? You even sacrificed yourselves to help him in the past."
A furious look suddenly appeared in the burly man's eyes. "That's all in the past; at that time, soul beasts were the rulers of this world, and you humans were only working to build cities and survive, but now, there is no space left on the Douluo Continent for soul beasts to inhabit. If we hadn't created this small world to preserve some soul beasts, all soul beasts would've gone extinct long ago. The greed of you humans has led to the death of all soul beasts. Tang San's son-in-law attempted to find a way to allow human Soul Masters and soul beasts to coexist in peace, thereby leading to the creation of soul spirits and the Spirit Pagoda, but little did he know that the Spirit Pagoda would become the main culprits behind the extinction of all soul beasts!"
