The Dragon God's Companion Sub-Dragon

The Golden Ranking did not keep everyone waiting for long.

Just as the towering waves stirred up by Du Busi's Body Martial Soul had yet to subside.

The name ranked eleventh was announced with a dragon's roar that seemed to come from the primordial wilderness, shaking all beneath the heavens!

[Douluo Continent Martial Soul Ranking, Eleventh Place: Purple Blazing Sky Dragon!]

On the eleventh line of the Golden Ranking, purple-gold light soared into the sky.

The light contained ultimate destruction and an incomparably tyrannical kingly aura, as though it would burn all things to ashes and reshape heaven and earth!

The light condensed into a majestic dragon phantom covered in purple-gold dragon scales, with flames of destruction burning in its eyes.

Though this dragon phantom was not a true dragon.

Its overwhelming might nevertheless faintly stirred a resonance with some Origin of Destruction between heaven and earth.

Causing every possessor of a dragon-type Martial Soul to feel a chill in their hearts.

[Martial Soul: Purple Blazing Sky Dragon]

[Affiliated To: Xu Tianran (Sun Moon Empire)]

[Martial Soul Assessment: A top-tier dragon-type Martial Soul inherited from ancient times, possessing the ultimate Destruction Attribute. Its ancestor was once a sub-dragon born alongside the Dragon God, but was exterminated by the Dragon God due to its excessive destructive nature. Though its bloodline has thinned over the ages, its origin remains noble and powerful, with destructive force that can be called ultimate. Comprehensive Assessment: ranked eleventh.]

[Reward: Purple Blazing Sky Dragon bloodline purification; Destruction Attribute power increased by 30%; Soul Power Level increased by one level; obtains the innate ability "Dragon Emperor Revival" (can consume a massive amount of soul power and Spiritual Power to instantly recover all non-origin injuries, while increasing all attributes by 10% for a short period of time).]

"Purple Blazing Sky Dragon! It belongs to Xu Tianran of the Sun Moon Empire!"

"Its ancestor was a sub-dragon born alongside the Dragon God? What kind of existence is the Dragon God? I've never heard of it!"

"What a pity, just one step short of the Top Ten! Eleventh place!"

"Such a powerful Martial Soul still failed to enter the Top Ten? Then the Top Ten..."

Soul Masters across the continent discussed it heatedly.

Some marveled at the origins and might of the Purple Blazing Sky Dragon.

Others regretted that it had failed to enter the Top Ten, while feeling even greater shock at the strength of those ranked above it.

Sun Moon Empire, imperial palace.

When the purple-gold pillar of light containing pure dragon aura and Destructive Power enveloped Xu Tianran.

A look of astonishment first appeared on his originally sinister face.

Then it turned into uncontrollable ecstasy!

He could clearly feel the Purple Blazing Sky Dragon bloodline within him being cleansed and ignited.

It became purer and more violent!

His soul power instantly broke through its bottleneck, rising by one level!

What made his mind tremble even more.

Was the moment the innate ability known as "Dragon Emperor Revival" entered his mind.

A warm current suddenly surged from his Martial Soul Origin.

Like a flood bursting through a dam, it wildly washed toward his legs, which had been numb for many years!

"Urgh!"

Xu Tianran could not help but let out a low roar.

It was not pain, but extreme comfort and liberation!

He could feel his atrophied meridians being reforged and his necrotic muscles regenerating.

A surging force was wildly erupting from the Yongquan Acupoints on the soles of his feet!

"Crack... crack..."

He subconsciously pressed both hands against the wheelchair's armrests.

Amid the grating sound of twisting metal, he slowly, tremblingly, rose to his feet!

"Haha... Hahahaha!"

Xu Tianran first stared in disbelief at his legs, now standing straight beneath him, before throwing back his head and bursting into hearty laughter.

His laughter was filled with the exhilaration of the humiliation he had suppressed for years finally being swept away in a single day.

As well as the monstrous ambition he could no longer conceal!

"My legs... they're healed! I can stand!"

He stomped hard on the ground, feeling the solid sensation beneath his feet as purple-gold destructive light flared brilliantly in his eyes.

"Not only that, I've become even stronger!"

Jing Hongchen watched from the side, dumbfounded, before a wild joy rose onto his face.

He immediately bowed deeply, his voice trembling slightly with excitement.

"Congratulations, Your Highness the Crown Prince! Congratulations, Your Highness the Crown Prince! Not only has your martial soul bloodline been purified and your strength greatly increased, but you have also received heaven's favor—your body has fully recovered!"

"This is Heaven blessing our Sun Moon Empire! His Highness the Crown Prince will surely lead the Empire to sweep across the lands and rule the world!"

Xu Tianran stood with his hands behind his back, brimming with ambition.

At this moment, none of the gloom he had worn in his wheelchair remained.

All that was left was the domineering aura of an emperor who looked down upon the world.

His sharp gaze turned westward, toward the former territories of the three Douluo kingdoms.

"Indeed! The appearance of the Golden Ranking is both my opportunity and the Empire's fortune!"

"I order all plans to proceed at full speed!"

Shrek Academy, Sea God's Pavilion.

The atmosphere was heavier than ever.

"Purple Blazing Sky Dragon, eleventh place..."

Yan Shaozhe's voice was dry. "Xu Tianran's ambitions are obvious to all. Now, not only has his strength greatly increased, but his legs have also been healed!"

"This is absolutely not good news for us, nor for the entire continent!"

Xian Lin'er's expression was grim. "The 'Dragon Emperor Revival' ability he obtained is practically an immortal safeguard on the battlefield! Combined with his purified Destruction Attribute, this scoundrel has become a grave threat!"

Xuan Zi slammed his palm onto the table. "This is trouble! A future emperor of the Sun Moon Empire who is whole again, vastly stronger, and full of ambition..."

Mu En slowly opened his eyes, his gaze filled with wisdom and concern.

"With Xu Tianran's recovery, the Sun Moon Empire's national strength will surely grow even greater, and the likelihood of it launching a war has increased drastically. Pass down the order: the Academy is to enter first-level combat readiness. Strengthen our ties with the three great empires and increase intelligence sharing."

"At the same time, activate the Watchman Project. Prioritize relocating and protecting civilian Soul Masters with potential."

"An age of chaos is approaching."

Every member of Sea God's Pavilion felt a heavy weight in their hearts.

It was as though they could already see the future, painted in blood and fire.

Star Dou Great Forest, Core Circle, beside the Lake of Life.

The Silver Dragon King, Gu Yuena, stood silently. When she saw the Purple Blazing Sky Dragon's phantom and its description, a trace of complex, indescribable emotion flashed across her peerless face.

"Purple Blazing Sky Dragon... is that the inheritance that lineage left behind in the mortal world?"

She murmured softly, and her eyes seemed to reflect both the splendor and ruin of the Dragon God's era.

"What a pity. Its bloodline has already grown thin; it possesses only the form, not the true essence."

"Even so, if this ultimate Destructive Power is allowed to grow up, it will still pose a threat to my Soul Beast Clan."

Di Tian stood behind her and said solemnly, "My lord, shall I..."

Gu Yuena raised a hand slightly, stopping him. "No need. Human internal strife benefits our clan. This Xu Tianran is someone who will stir up the winds and clouds. Let him live for now."

"Our enemy is the God Realm, not any single human emperor."

"Still, keep a close watch on him. If he truly poses a tangible threat to our clan, it will not be too late to erase him."

Her gaze returned to the Golden Ranking, carrying both anticipation and solemnity.

"The Top Ten... is finally about to begin. Humanity's potential truly cannot be underestimated."

"I wonder whether the inheritances of those few beings will also appear?"

The Golden Ranking seemed to sense the entire continent's utmost anticipation.

After announcing eleventh place, it did not pause.

The pressure filling heaven and earth abruptly rose several levels!

The light was no longer merely dazzling.

It transformed into a tangible golden halo, as if sacred hymns were echoing through the Void!

[Douluo Continent Martial Soul Ranking, Tenth Place: Healing Angel!]

Accompanied by a warm, holy radiance that seemed capable of soothing all pain, on the Golden Ranking's tenth line, the phantom of an angel with six wings on its back, surrounded by gentle white light and holding a Healing Holy Staff, slowly appeared.
