As the two soul beasts, the giant ape and oxpython found themselves beneath, Tang Wulin.
Tang Wulin himself was gradually tightening his hold on them, breaking their bones and causing blood to leak from their mouth.
His mouth was revealing his razor-sharp teeth as his beady white eyes stared at the two soul beasts.
While this was going on, Ya Li was staring at Tang Wulin's new form in shock and awe.
As she could feel the terrifying strength that his presence was emitting.
Incomparable, terrifying, and invincible!
'This is the form they said he used. Amazing, I can already tell it's above even the Calamities.' Thought Ya Li as she sensed the element around them was shaking from the dragon's presence.
"Wait! That trident, that you used...Is that the Sea God Trident!"Shouted the oxpython as it coughed up some more blood from its mouth.
It felt its cultivation and strength being ruthlessly suppressed by just Tang Wulin's raw might.
It knew if it tried summoning the strength of heaven and earth or the laws of the plane.
The dragon would kill them, there and now, with the god-level strength that it was somehow able to gain.
Yet this hasn't been what shocked it the most.
It was the sight of the trident that was lodged in his brother's shoulder and that was flipping through the air.
Before it landed a few meters from them, that caused the oxpython to be shocked.
Tang Wulin narrowed his eyes, wondering just how they knew what the Sea God trident looks like and about it.
Now that he took a good luck at these two soul beasts, he felt like he had seen a picture and heard about them before.
"There the Titan Giant Ape and Azure Oxpythons." Sleipnir's voice rang out.
'You're telling me this now?'
"Would this have honestly stopped you from fighting them?" Questioned Sleipnir in a deadpan tone.
'Nope.' Thought Tang Wulin with an inward chuckle, as it would have just made him want to fight even more.
How could he have not heard about the legend of these two?
He had heard of the Azure Oxpython and Titan Giant Ape before with most of it being about their relationship with Tang San.
His father had two companions, the Azure Oxpython and the Titan Giant Ape. During that time when the spirit souls were not developed yet and one had to kill soul beasts for their rings.
According to legends, the two Beast King's had offered themselves up as sacrifices to Tang San and became his strength.
That was how he technically became a god in one go, although Old Tang already told him it was far more than this.
As his father still had to go through many trials and tribulations to fully become a god after these two sacrifices.
According to Shrek Academy's reckoning, if the Azure Oxpython and Titan Giant Ape were still alive.
They would certainly be ranked among the Ten Great Beasts. They were exceptional beings with extremely formidable individual strength, far more than most of their specific species.
Their rankings would most probably be higher than the Bear Lord and the Thousand Demon King.
Something Tang Wulin could clearly say was true, just from their cultivation base of a Qusai-God Limit Douluo.
While they weren't close to matching Di Tian's level of strength, both of them together could give him a hard time.
Tang Wulin thought of all this in a split second before his dragon form began to shine and break into specs of light.
They shimmer down to the chest of the Azure Oxpython, with the Sea God Trident that was at the side shining dazzlingly.
The trident vanished before reappearing in the specs of blue and instantly shooting towards the Titan Great Ape.
The Titan Great Ape let out a roar as it felt the trident lodging itself into its chest before it vanished.
"You-"
"Quiet. Let's play a game, I ask a question and you will answer. Once you're done, you can ask me a question and I will answer."Said Tang Wulin as his foot landed gently on the Azure Oxpython chest with the Sea God Trident pointed at its neck.
Azure Oxpython glared at Tang Wulin but it didn't make a move to resist, as it felt itself shiver from the trident.
"Good, now then. Are you both the two soul beasts from Tang San era? The one who gave him his rings?" Questioned Tang Wulin.
He sadly didn't have Old Tang with him to confirm if it was them, as he was busy with trials.
And Sleipnir didn't know if it was really them, although she was certain it was. Although she did tell him that they were the only one of their present species.
From what she could remember.
"Yes...We are the ones who gave Tang San his rings and also the ones in the legend."Said the Azure Oxpython.
"I guess that confirms it...Why did you guys attack us?"Questioned Tang Wulin, although he didn't really care and was just curious.
From what he can tell, they attacked them from a different plane, or were its dimension?
He wasn't knowledgeable about the interactions between the mini-plane and the main plane. It was only because of Zeref that he knew he was inside a mini-plane in the first place.
Although his instinct and spiritual sense did notify him that he wasn't in the Douluo Plane anymore.
"We sense the blood of the Sea God from you and want to drag you here to confirm." Said Titan Great Ape causing Tang Wulin and Ya Li's lips to twitch.
"...So you guys attacked us...Instead of trying to talk with us?"Questioned Ya Li with a glare as she reached them.
"How could we trust you guys wouldn't try and attack us? You, humans, tend to attack first and ask questions later." Said the Titan Great Ape with a scoff.
Ya Li could only sigh as he wasn't completely wrong, as some soul masters might have just attacked them on sight.
Especially for the chance to gain the soul ring of these two legendary beasts, which was obtained by the great Tang San himself.
"You guys are idiots." Said Tang Wulin with a content sigh as he moved the trident away from the Azure Oxpython neck.
Before he then jumped off it, moving towards one of the broken trees and sitting down on it.
"Wulin?" Questioned Ya Li as she saw the two legendary soul beasts getting up.
"Yes, the weapon in my hand is the Sea God Trident. For the time being, I am the master of this weapon."Said Tang Wulin, causing the expression of the two to change.
"Impossible! That belongs to only-"
"Tang San, my father. I am aware." Said Tang Wulin with a deadpan look, wondering when they will connect the dots.
They already sensed the Sea God bloodline from him, as well as they saw the Sea God Trident.
What else would he be but the son of the Sea God? They already felt its terrifying power and the feeling of being pressed down by the boundless ocean.
The Azure Oxypython and Titan Great Ape glance at each other, already comprehending what this means.
It was the Sea God's Trident that represented the Godhood of the Sea God! The chief weapon that Tang San himself considered the most important in his arsenal!
How could Tang Wulin have it without it being given to him by Tang San?
Moreover, Tang Wulin truly was the master of it from the way he could wield it and summon it with ease.
Azure Oxpython and the Titan Giant Ape could not help expressing their excitement as they found a bit of hope.
Glancing at each other, they began transforming.
The Titan Great Ape began to change, losing its giant ape form and turning into a burly man.
The man was two meters in height with firm bulky muscles with a ridged face and evil glowing eyes.
While the Azure Oxpython began to turn into an elderly man with an unsophisticated appearance.
He was slender with a tall figure with his entire body faintly emitting a peculiar aura.
"Ha! I knew he was alive, how could a monster like that die so easily? All of them should be alive as well!"Shouted Er Ming laughing and screaming at the sky.
"If you haven't connected the dots, we are Da Ming and Er Ming. Since there is no issue with your identity, you can address us as 'uncle'. We are considered brothers to your father and your mother was also a good friend whom we knew since we were young."Said Da Ming in a gentle voice as he stared at Tang Wulin with a kind gaze.
Ya Li herself was a bit shocked at the fact, they were the legendary Er Ming and Da Ming.
It's not wrong to say these two are part of the reason that Shrek could continue to thrive for the past 20,000 years.
As if they didn't sacrifice themselves, maybe the honorable Tang San wouldn't have been able to become a god.
Not only that but their strength was also considered in the top five of the Great Beast Ranking.
'They were his brother? His majesty, Tang San had a history like this as well?' Thought Ya Li as she recalled the words of Er Ming and Da Ming.
While this was happening, Tang Wulin was looking at them in amusement as he dispels the trident.
As its divine presence was too great for this small plane, Sleipnir warns him he should recall it.
Unless he wanted the plane to collapse on them, burying them all.
"Yea no, I don't feel the need or care to call you both that." Said Tang Wulin with a roll of his eyes.
As if he could call these two fools who tried to pull him into this place. Attacked him constantly with attacks strong enough to knock out or kill someone.
And then utilizing the power of heaven and earth to rigorously suppress him, his uncles were laughable.
Of course, the main reason was he didn't know them, they were no different than strangers to him.
"What! How-"
"Stop Ming. He is most likely resentful of us for attacking and trying to suppress him." Said Da Ming, causing Tang Wulin's smile to grow.
"Not really, it was more amusing than anything if I was, to be honest. The reason is I don't even know you guys nor care for you both much. So I can't consider you both anything less than strangers."Said Tang Wulin.
Da Ming didn't say anything as he stared at Tang Wulin for a bit, his eyes observing Tang Wulin for a bit before sighing.
"That is understandable. But I hope you will treat us like family, I don't think there is much need for formalities." Said Da Ming, causing Tang Wulin to blink his eyes.
"You both are willing to treat me as your family? Even though you know nothing about me?"
"Why not? You humans and your overthinking, must we spend a lot of time to become family? Must we be related by blood to be family? Isn't family simply a group bound by love and care for each other." Said Er Ming with a laugh.
"One that can be depended on for support and guidance." Da Ming also chimed in as he stared at Tang Wulin with eyes filled with care and kindness.
'These guys...'
