King Ghidorah

Qian Gu Die Ting looked at Qian Gu Huang Yu, a barely perceptible hint of expectation flashing through his eyes.

As the Tower Master of Spirit Transmission Tower and the Clan Head of the Qian Gu Family, Qian Gu Die Ting had countless matters to handle every day. Calling him burdened with a thousand affairs would not be an exaggeration.

Among Qian Gu Die Ting's many children, Qian Gu Qing Feng was the only one for whom he had personally performed the Martial Soul Awakening ceremony, because Qian Gu Qing Feng was his eldest son.

The reason he had come personally to perform Qian Gu Huang Yu's Martial Soul Awakening ceremony today, apart from her elder brother Qian Gu Dong Feng's outstanding talent, was that she was his eldest daughter and currently his youngest child.

Parents always paid special attention to their oldest and youngest children.

Qian Gu Die Ting said, "Xiao Yu, close your eyes and feel the changes in your body."

After Qian Gu Huang Yu closed her eyes, Qian Gu Die Ting's aura abruptly changed. His former mountain-like steadiness became an arrogant, unyielding spirit that would Battle Heaven Battle Earth.

Pale white Soul Power surged from Qian Gu Die Ting as he continuously chanted the words for awakening a Martial Soul.

Brilliant patterns lit up one after another, beginning at the ceiling and extending down the four walls. They seemed to regain their vitality, as though they had come alive, spreading all the way beneath Qian Gu Huang Yu's feet. All the light finally gathered where she stood.

Numb. Qian Gu Huang Yu felt as though thunder was coursing through her body, leaving her entire body numb with electricity. Before she could adapt, however, intense pain erupted within her. The thunder inside her ravaged her body like real lightning.

She clenched her teeth and forced herself to remain conscious. Her hands balled into fists, her nails digging deeply into her flesh, and blood seemed to drip from her fingertips.

Brilliant golden scales began to grow across her delicate body, while bright golden lightning flickered around her from time to time. At the side, Qian Gu Die Ting frowned tightly, seemingly pondering what was happening.

Qian Gu Huang Yu had no time to pay attention to the changes in her body or Qian Gu Die Ting's surprise. At that moment, her Sea of Consciousness was filled with a golden storm, flashes of thunder rumbling within it. She felt as though her Sea of Consciousness was about to be torn apart by pain. In an instant, she heard bursts of dragon roars from within the storm. Yet upon listening carefully, the three dragon roars that sounded together carried subtle differences.

The dragon roars rose higher and higher. "Roar!" Finally, accompanied by a resounding dragon roar, the entire golden storm exploded, fierce winds and thunder sweeping through her entire Sea of Consciousness.

Warm. Qian Gu Huang Yu now felt only a warm current flowing through her body. Her ravaged body rapidly recovered, while it automatically absorbed Soul Power from the outside world.

Qian Gu Die Ting instinctively increased his Soul Power output, the surprise in his eyes even greater than before.

As she recovered, waves of powerful energy radiated from Qian Gu Huang Yu's body. The lightning around her gradually fell silent, as though bowing in worship to its king.

Meanwhile, the skies above Shrek City had long been covered by dark clouds. Deafening rumbles occasionally came from the black clouds, giving people the feeling that the end of the world was about to arrive.

After an unknown amount of time, an extremely piercing dragon roar suddenly rang out. Outside, the cloud-filled sky erupted with an unprecedented roar.

Qian Gu Huang Yu's eyes were tightly shut. Behind her stood a magnificent golden dragon with three dragon heads, each releasing a deep dragon roar that differed slightly from the others. It had no arms; in their place were a pair of enormous golden bat wings. Its two dragon tails swayed casually.

Her eyes slowly opened. Her wine-red pupils had become Vertical Pupils, golden electric light flickering around her body. A powerful force filled her body, a power originating from the source of her Martial Soul.

As her Martial Soul Possession took effect, Qian Gu Huang Yu's body also began to change.

A pair of golden dragon horns appeared on either side of Qian Gu Huang Yu's forehead. Her hands and feet were covered in golden scales, and bright golden claws sprang from her fingertips, gleaming with dangerous light.

Enormous golden dragon wings grew from Qian Gu Huang Yu's back. Looking closely, one could seemingly see electric currents flowing across the wings.

Yet the most eye-catching change was in Qian Gu Huang Yu's hair. The outermost portions of her golden hair on both sides grew much longer. Or rather, they were no longer hair at all, but dragon necks, with terrifying yet beautiful dragon heads at their ends.

That was right. The hair at both ends of Qian Gu Huang Yu's head had transformed into two dragon heads.

[...Ghidorah?]

Feeling the changes in her body, Qian Gu Huang Yu cried out her Martial Soul's name in astonishment. Yet before she could speak, Qian Gu Die Ting immediately used the Power of Space to seal off the surrounding area.

Because the piercing dragon roar released by Ghidorah when Qian Gu Huang Yu's Martial Soul had just awakened had another name—

Alpha Summon.

It could transmit information to all Titans.

Although Qian Gu Die Ting possessed the Weapon Martial Soul Coiled Dragon Staff, because it contained the dragon soul of the Evil-Breaking Dragon, it instinctively felt resistance and disgust toward the dragon roar Ghidorah had released.

That was why Qian Gu Die Ting sealed the surrounding space at once. However, that dragon roar had still spread across the entire Douluo Star.

—The King of Monsters was announcing its arrival.

Shrek Academy, Sea God Island.

Long Yeyue raised her head and looked at the sky shrouded in dark clouds, as though a storm was brewing.

The piercing dragon roar from earlier had left her restless, yet it vanished in an instant.

She possessed the Twin Martial Souls of the Light Holy Dragon and the Dark Holy Dragon, and that was also her pride. Yet after hearing that dragon roar, her Martial Souls did not feel the anger that came from being provoked, but fear.

For all these years, Long Yeyue had always been the one to suppress others' Martial Souls. No one had ever been able to suppress hers.

This was the first time.

And the message conveyed by that dragon roar disgusted her even more...

Somewhere on the continent.

"Lord Ghost Emperor! Demon Empress has awakened!"

A terrified cry from a Holy Spirit Cult member came through the Communication Soul Tool. Ghost Emperor immediately jumped up from the enormous skull he had been sitting on. Demon Empress's premature awakening had disrupted all his original plans.

Demon Empress's condition is unstable right now, and the Cult Leader is in seclusion. Damn it...

Just as Ghost Emperor rushed toward Demon Empress's location without regard for anything else, a voice filled with fury and savagery reached his ears through the Communication Soul Tool.

"Who is it? Who dares provoke me?"

At that moment, a drop of cold sweat slid down Ghost Emperor's face.

In the depths of the ocean.

The ocean had always been a forbidden zone for humanity. Even though the Soul Beasts on land had nearly gone extinct, many ferocious beast-level beings still existed in the sea.

And without exception, these ferocious beasts had all been affected by Ghidorah's dragon roar.

Watching the boiling sea, the King of the Sea Demon Great White Shark felt fear for the first time in Twenty Thousand Year.

Lord Sea God, please protect your people.
