Dragon King of Apocalypse

Chapter 128: Ancient History (2)

"The Universe Eater."

"Dues Ex Machina."

"The Eternal Star."

"Typhon."

Tang Wulin furrowed his brows as he stared at the figure in the darkness.

"Is there a point to all this?" Questioned Tang Wulin.

He needed to hurry up and destroy the demon seed that is able to control Yuanen. While this history lesson is good and all, he had other pressing things to do than listening to the ancient past. Yet the old man said nothing as if he didn't hear Tang Wulin or acknowledge his words.

"In due time you will learn but for now. You can see and somewhat grasp his powers." Said the old man causing Tang Wulin to nod his head.

The strength of Typhon made even him widen in shock. Let alone being able to crush planets, devour the stars and collapse god realms with its own body. The fact that it may have other abilities that could drive fear into the gods should be something very note-worthy.

Yet with all of that, Tang Wulin only feel a hint excitement. He was never one to shy away from tough opponents, even those who transcend his power and capabilities. As he would have never been able to slaughter the dragons if he was intimidated of fighting an overwhelming enemy.

"Still, if this being was so strong. How did they all defeat him?"Questioned Tang Wulin with a raised brow.

The old man only chuckles at Tang Wulin questioned. Tang Wulin noted it had a lot of bitterness and regret in it.

"Defeat him? Huh, don't make me laugh, Typhon's strength was boundless like the vast abyss and the universe. Any hopes or thinking of them defeating him in battle was all crushed. Thousands of thousands of the greatest Gods came together to try and defeat him but they were all ultimately crushed under it."Said the old man.

The greatest of the gods were beings who were able to reach the apex on their path of cultivation and martial arts. Unlike the other gods who were content with their powers and status, not willing to sharpen themselves to even vaster heights. These gods pushed themselves to the point they were able to command the powers and law of the universe with ease.

These were the gods who could cut the planet in half, crush a moon in their hand and even annihilate countless stars. They could bring back the dead, create a being out of thin air, survive space-time turbulence and even walk through the void itself.

Yet all of them still fell.

"Cultivation? So reaching the powers of god isn't the limit?"Questioned Tang Wulin.

"Not necessarily. Gods themselves are beings who have a higher grasp and understanding of the laws of the universe. If I was to make a comparison, a god would be similar to what a mortal would consider those at the apex of your world." Said the old man.

Gods themselves aren't true immortals being that can never die or fully reached the limit. The gods themselves are still restrained by the laws of the universe although with far fewer restrictions than a mortal with an immeasurable amount of power.

"They had to do the only thing that they could do, and that was to seal Typhon." Said the old man causing Tang Wulin lips and brows to twitch.

He personally knew the vast versatility of sealing and how immeasurable the power was. While the power to seal a being wouldn't allow one to kill or damage their enemies, it should still never be underestimated.

With the power of sealing, one could easily defeat a being that is immeasurable to them or even a being that transcends the power of their realm. With sealing one could easily seal a person movements, seal their powers or their mind.

Tang Wulin had the unfortunate of having his Dragon Form sealed in Fiore, which lead to his ultimate defeat and downfall. He remembers the spell was called Fairy Sphere that allowed the mages to convert all of the Fiore people magic into the seal. This allowed them to seal him, even for a few seconds.

Leviathan as if sensing Wulin negative thoughts began snuggling around his neck. Tang Wulin simply caressed his head and turned back to the old man.

"They had a seal strong enough for it?" Questioned Tang Wulin.

"They had to if they wanted to survive. So the remaining gods all came together and with their vast knowledge, alongside their comprehension of the laws and powers of the universe. They were able to devise a seal that would be strong enough and effective enough to fully stop Typhon." Said the old man as he waved his hand.

The image began changing, allowing Tang Wulin to watch the remaining gods standing before the approaching Typhon who red eyes were glaring down at them. He watches as all of the gods summoned all of their power and chanted, causing huge patterns of symbols to appear all around.

'That is!'

Tang Wulin could see towering shapes on the sides of the huge pattern symbols. To his shock, he saw both Yggdrasil and the Dungeon of Mahal that was shining with a divine aura. There were other huge buildings and monument that was shining alongside them.

"We created towers as the axis of creation that would be used to lock down seal once it's been put in the place. It will then hold back the seal from breaking and fortify it through the energy of the universe."

Next, cracks in the void appeared all around with Typhon glancing around while still marching towards the god in front of him. Then void was split open, sending down endless divine light and the boundless aura of divinity as golden chains with ancient writings on them down.

They all swirled around and then shot toward Typhon. They began coiling around his formless body and yet even with the chains coiling around it, Typhon kept on moving.

The god's brow furrow but nonetheless they kept on pushing. The symbol beneath was beginning to shine and tremble as a Pagoda began forming around Typhon.

Chaotic light exploded around the Pagoda surrounding. The appearance of the Pagoda caused space and the void to tremble as the being it was incasing was raging inside. The heavens and earth shook as space began to open to suck in the golden pagoda.

"The formation and sealing were able to use the energies of the universe to forcibly seal Typhon. But this wasn't just any seal as it affected its whole existence."Said the old man.

"What was the price?" Questioned Tang Wulin.

"What makes you sure there was a price?"

"Something like that? Against a being that transcends all of the god's strength and yet they were able to seal it for so long? There has to be a price." Said Tang Wulin.

Even the Fairy Sphere could only hold him for a few seconds because of how vast was the difference in strength was.

"The price was the end of their era and the birth of a new. They had to sacrifice their bodies and energy towards the seal. A vast amount of energy was needed to even activate the seal in the first place." Said the old man.

"Through this sacrifice, the gods that are here now were able to exist. As the leftover energy of the god's sacrifice and the seal created a surge of power that reverberates through the universe. This gave birth to the new gods that exist now." Said the old man.

Tang Wulin nodded his head and then asked.

"So what was the point of all this?"

"The point of all of this is I fear Typhon maybe unseal soon." Said the old man causing Tang Wulin eyes to widen.

"How?"

"I'm not sure but from the signs that Mahal has been giving out, it seems Typhon must have gained some type of freedom or room to move." Said the old man.

Tang Wulin expression changed as he began thinking about the consequences of that formless being unsealed and rampaging through the universe.

"If Typhon is broken from his seal, then his rage will encompass the whole universe and destroy it." Said the old man. Tang Wulin began furrowing his brows, while Leviathan was rubbing its head in his neck and he asked a question.

"Is it because one of the towers was brought down?" Questioned Tang Wulin.

As he recalled Sage telling him the ramification of what would happen if Yggdrasil was to fall. While he did tell Tang Wulin that a monstrous being was being sealed inside of Yggdrasil, he didn't think the being would be this terrifying or strong.

Yet it wouldn't have mattered as from what the Mountain Dragon King told him, Yggdrasil would have long been destroyed without his intervention.

"That may be one of the causes, or it may be because the seal is weakening by some mishap. After all, nothing is truly eternal or can last forever."Said the old man.

"Do you know when it will escape its prison" Questioned Tang Wulin but he only received a shake from the old man. Tang Wulin fell into thought as he began to think and then he remembered something.

'Sleipnir said she could see when the planet would be destroyed. Could it be because of Typhon?' Thought Tang Wulin.

"Can you bring people in here? For example the two spirits inside of me?"Questioned Tang Wulin to the old man.

The old man said nothing as he continued staring at the scene of Typhon being bound and then his eyes shined. Instantly two figures appeared next to Tang Wulin, them being Sleipnir and Zeref who were shocked.

They glance around until they see Tang Wulin and they cried out in surprise. Tang Wulin began explaining to them what was going on which caused them both to cry out in shock and amazement.

"To think there was a being like that." Said Zeref in amazement.

Whether it be from the knowledge that this being could slaughter whole pantheons of god to crushing god realms in its palm. Not only that but he was also shocked at the abilities that the gods themselves have as well as their advanced technology.

"To think Yggdrasil had this type of history too," Sleipnir mutters as she gazes at Yggdrasil that was shining with divine light.

"You...Why do you have the same aura as it? Not only that but I can also feel its soul inside of you." Said the old man as he gazes at Sleipnir with shock.

Sleipnir blinks her eyes and then quickly explained her origin to the being in front of her. Partly because she wanted to see if the old man could give her more information about Yggdrasil and also because of some other matters.

"Ahh, I guess Sage was put to rest then. Well, I'm not surprised and kinda happy."Mutter the old man causing Zeref to blink his eyes.

"Why do you say that?"

"Guarding the tower can be a lonely and difficult task in itself. But having to guard it for billions of years..."The old man trailed off with a sigh and then turned his head back to Sleipnir with a complicated look.

He already could feel a hint of the same aura of Yggdrasil from Tang Wulin. He didn't say anything about it as he was still shocked that Tang Wulin had wisps of gods energy inside of him. They weren't even weak, in fact, some of them had reached the pinnacle for ordinary God Realms.

It was one of the reasons he showed him more than what was supposes to be shown and explained to him about the events that transpired.

"Sleipnir do you think the planet may be destroyed because of Typhon?" Questioned Tang Wulin.

While it may be, obvious Typhon may be the caused, he didn't know when it would be unsealed or how far away it was from the planet itself. Plus Sleipnir did mention some other things that could cause the planet to be destroyed.

"I'm not sure, although I wouldn't be surprised if it was one of the causes." Said Sleipnir.

"Anyway, you four need to hurry up and leave the demon world." Said the old man.

"We plan to, we just want to find the demon seed and then we will leave." Said Sleipnir but the old man only shook is head.

"I meant that the demon world would be facing destruction soon enough in the coming hours." Said the old man.

"So you all must leave before you die."
