Tang Wulin instantly stomp on the ground causing sixteen more demonic dragons to rush out to destroy the ice clouds above. As the demonic dragons began devouring the clouds, Tang Wulin felt the temperature drop in front of him.
A beam of blue energy was rushing towards him, but he simply smashed his foot into and lifted his hands up. Purple-blue energy burst from below the Soul Monk and engulf his form while Tang Wulin was smashing the beam apart.
Tang Wulin didn't follow up with another as he was wary of the Soul Monk and his abilities that seemed to be too versatile. As the burst of energy died down, he was able to see blood dripping from the Soul Monk body.
The Soul Monk uttered nothing as a frightening light was flashing through his pupil and his third eye was letting off an ominous aura. Then a towering sea of black water appeared behind the Soul Monk and began to move to engulf everything in the room.
The ocean waves rolled over and over yet that wasn't the end as the Soul Monk thrust out his hand, causing a whirlpool to appear in the middle of the ocean waves. Tang Wulin expression changed as he was about to fight back but then he tried to jump to the right. But it was too late as a silver circle appeared under him.
'When!' Thought Tang Wulin at the sudden appearance of the silver circle.
The Soul Monk eyes shined as he used his Judgment Circle the same time he summoned the black ocean. Although he was surprised he still had the ability to react and almost escape the circle.
Tang Wulin gritted his teeth as he could feel himself slowing, which caused the Soul Monk to be shocked. As the circle was supposed to bind and freeze Tang Wulin in place but his Regalia and resistance lowered the effect to an inadequate level.
Yet even though he could still move, the waves of the ocean were too fast and he had to use his Blue Silver Genesis as a shield to wrap around him. The wave of water crushed down onto the Blue Silver Genesis and spread out in every direction.
Combine with the whirlpool that seemed to be filled with unrivaled power that swept through everything. The Blue Silver Genesis was being hacked through and in a matter of seconds, destroyed with Tang Wulin being battered around in the waves of water.
'I can't keep getting swept like this.' Thought Tang Wulin as he clenches his fist even underwater and punches out with all of his might.
With unrivaled and unstoppable might, the whirlpool was split open, with the tides around being blasted away. As Tang Wulin fell to the ground, his eyes shined fiercely as he smashed his fist on the ground and caused countless hundreds of vines to erupt from the ground.
'Time Magic: Parallel Worlds.'
With Parallel Worlds he was able to create numerous amount of copies of his vines around him that represented the future possibilities of their path. Tang Wulin thrust out his hand, causing all of the multi-colored vines that similar to streams of light to rush toward.
The Soul Monk thurst out his black sea that had a whirlpool in it towards Tang Wulin and then as they were about to clash, the vines changed into broad heavy ones. The Soul Monk furrowed his brows and then his eyes widen as a red light began to appear on the vines.
'Its that skill again!' Thought the Soul Monk in fright.
The vines cover with red light began melting the black sea and whirlpool as it rushes forward unhinged or troubled. The Soul Monk figure trembled at this shocking scene and he knew he couldn't allow himself to get hit by those vines.
As he tries to fade away, his body shook and he sprouted out blood as a huge slash mark appeared on his chest.
'When!' Thought the Soul Monk in shock.
While he was distracted, purple-blue chains erupted from the ground and wrap around him. The Soul Monk could feel the suppression coming from these continuous chains and his soul was screaming for him to escape.
As if the chain heard his soul screaming out, they began piercing the Soul Monk body and wrapping around his soul. The Soul Monk eyes were wide with distinct shock at such a dominating and ruthless power as he felt his soul screaming.
As the vines covered with red light reached him and began to wrap themselves around him. The flames in the Soul Monk were wavering as he could feel his body being destroyed and energy being leeched.
'It was all planned!' Thought the Soul Monk in dismay.
It was a shame that Tang Wulin Annihilation was so tyrannical and absolute. Couple that with his devil slayer that had the innate ability to suppress all demonic beings and even able to attack one soul. It wasn't a surprise that the Soul Monk felt his connection with his power being cut and his strength weakening.
If he wasn't covered by the multi-colored vines, he would have seen a second soul ring behind Tang Wulin that was shining. Tang Wulin relatively dismisses his Annihilation from the vines as he didn't want the Soul Monk soul to be destroyed.
All of this happened because of Tang Wulin left arm spirit bone that allowed him to send a slash through space and break the Soul Monk concentration. Allowing his chains to suppress him and his vines to capture him.
'That was close.' Thought Tang Wulin with a sigh.
If he hadn't, try and combine his Annihilation with his Blue Silver Genesis, his vines wouldn't have been able to get past the black sea. Not only that but he may have been fighting way longer than he would like to.
He was honestly surprised his vines were able to withstand the power of Annihilation but then he recalled it being filled with a lot of life energy.
'Anyway, with this. I should be recovering some spirit power.' Thought Tang Wulin.
He knew he had to go through at least five tough enemies to get to the extra floor. That also wasn't counting on any demons he found in the levels or traps he had to deal with. Even with the Silver Rider, he was more focused on conserving his strength as much as possible.
'It's a good thing he didn't get to use his soul powers.'
From what the information he had, the Soul Monk had the ability to draw a person soul out with his third eye. Not only that but could attack and even destroy a person soul if it was pushed too far. His vines started to uncover themselves from the Soul Monk drained body but he let the chains stayed just in case.
With a sigh, Tang Wulin clenches his fist and blasted the remains of the Soul Monk. After that, a medium-size soul rises up and sped off toward Tang Wulin. After the soul entered his body, he glances around and then began going toward the door.
'Two down, three more left to go.'

A loud rumbling noise rang out as a huge figure dropped down on the floor. It was a towering wolf that was bleeding all over. In front of it was a beautiful girl with blue-hair that was made into a twin-tail and in her hands was a large ice greatsword.
"Now that is done, its tim-."
Before Xu Xiaoyan could finish her sentence, a visible light begins to shine around the dead body of the towering wolf. The wolfs body turned into a ball of light that teleported in front of Xu Xiaoyan who jump in shock.
'Fast!'
Before she could react to the ball of light shattered and in its place was an elegant bow. The bow was light-blue with decorative and ancient markings all around. There was a wolf symbol on each side of the grip area of the bow.
Xu Xiaoyan blinks her eyes at the elegant bow was suspending in the air. She furrowed her brows and then realize this may be her reward for beating the towering wolf. She moved her hand to the bow and as she grips it, the bow shined before transforming into a ring around her wrist.
Blinking her eyes, she looks down to see a silver ring with the markings of a fierce wolf on her wrist. She silently called for the bow, and it appeared in her hands. She tried calling and dismissing it for a while before nodding her head in acceptance.
"Congratulations." A voice rang out causing Xu Xiaoyan to jump. She glances around until she found a spectral wolf staring at her.
"Are you?"
"Yes, I'm the wolf you just killed. My name is Lupa and the bow you gain is a soul weapon." Said Lupa as he gazes at Xu Xiaoyan with eyes that shone with respect.
"A soul weapon?" Questioned Xu Xiaoyan causing Lupa face to twitch. With a sigh, he begins informing her what a soul weapon is.
A soul weapon similar to a spirit beast spirit bone is a weapon one can get when a fiend in the dungeon of Mahal dies. The requirement for the weapon varies between each fiend but in general, one would need to beat the fiend to gain the weapon.
Unlike a spirit bone, the weapons come from the soul of the defeated fiend. Meaning if the soul was to be destroyed or absorbed, then it would be impossible for a soul weapon to be formed. Lupa relayed more information to Xu Xiaoyan who was nodding along.
"Anyway, take care of that weapon. The Silver Moon."Said Lupa as he begins fading into the bow.
After Lupa faded, Xu Xiaoyan look around the room again and then back to her bow. She then dismisses the bow and went towards the door on the other side.
