Million-Year Seventh Ring, Meteor Dragon

The world in You Chen's eyes was a gray and white expanse.

No, this is not a real space, but merely a world imagined by You Chen, a scene he perceives.

After absorbing ordinary Soul Ring, one can change the Soul Skill by Self-Created Soul Skill. Although the Seventh Soul Ring will not give birth to Soul Ring Soul Skill, the influence of Soul Beast Soul Ring on the Martial Soul is more powerful, whether it is the Martial Soul Avatar or the Martial Soul's sublimation.

Just like Ignis, her Martial Soul underwent a targeted evolution due to the Red Lotus Blast Scale Dragon.

Even without You Chen actively interfering, the influence of the Million-Year Soul Ring will cause the Stardust Dragon Martial Soul to evolve towards a more perfect direction, in accordance with the characteristics of the Sky Azure Bull Python.

You Chen is currently using this power to comprehend the slowing power of the Sky Azure Bull Python.

No, it's not slowing down, but... time slowing down.

By forcibly raising the energy level of the Sky Azure Bull Python to the quasi-divine beast level of a million years through the system, and then comprehending it through the sublimation of its Martial Soul, it naturally gained characteristics that surpassed those of the original Sky Azure Bull Python.

The slowing down of time in the external world is, in contrast, the acceleration of time within ourselves.

Speed is inherently a relative concept.

Just as You Chen had predicted, he successfully reached the Acceleration Domain.

Although it was just an insight gained during the process of Martial Soul sublimation, rather than having this characteristic already engraved on the Stardust Dragon Martial Soul, it was enough for You Chen.

With the help of the Rule Trait of acceleration, his understanding of speed had already reached a new level.

The ultimate Martial Soul Origin power, the Heart of Clear Mirror Still Water, the Acceleration Domain... all the prerequisites have been met.

In this gray space, You Chen had transformed into a giant Stardust Dragon and began to accelerate toward infinity.

The light of evolution shone on the Stardust Dragon's body.

You Chen's thoughts were clearer than ever before.

Just like Heart of Clear Mirror Still Water, this state of mind transcends human intelligence.

Absolute speed is something that transcends the realm of thought, an ultimate limit that even the mind of a god cannot grasp.

"Yes, Stardust Dragon evolves into Meteor Dragon through Accelerated Synchro Evolution. The important thing isn't speed, but the mindset of a transcendent being who can control that speed. Therefore, Heart of Clear Mirror Still Water is essential!"

Laugh--.

In an instant, You Chen broke free from this endless gray space.

In reality.

The white dragon soared into the sky, achieving its maximum acceleration in an instant.

Titan Giant Ape Er Ming's eyes widened as the white dragon suddenly vanished. "Gone!?"

Bang!

The terrifying sonic boom sent the surrounding trees swaying wildly.

A Star Light Dragon with distinct features, vaguely resembling Stardust Dragon, yet exuding a technologically advanced feel like a sentient airplane, blows through the air, spreads its wings, and stands tall in mid-air.

(Meteor Dragon)

Compared to the ten-meter-tall Stardust Dragon, this evolved Meteor Dragon is tens of meters long, even dwarfing the mountain-sized Titan Giant Ape.

While Er Ming was still in shock, the Meteor Dragon's body flashed with light and quickly shrank into a small dragon man just over two meters tall, which is the normal state of Martial Soul Possession.

With a slight brow twitch, it was clear, without even needing to observe closely, that this posture was distinctly different from its previous majestic and noble bearing.

Er Ming's intuition was correct. After exiting his Martial Soul Avatar, You Chen's Martial Soul directly reverted back to Stardust Dragon.

"Did it fail?"

Er Ming couldn't help but sigh.

Even if it were incredibly stupid, it wouldn't be hard for it to guess that the reason You Chen wanted its elder brother to sacrifice himself was probably for that form just now.

You Chen released his Martial Soul Possession and did not answer.

He frowned for a few seconds, then quickly relaxed.

The situation wasn't as perfect as he had initially envisioned, but it couldn't be called a failure either.

He could sense that the Stardust Dragon Martial Soul had reached the limit of the mortal level after this Martial Soul sublimation.

Based on the six-dimensional rating of Martial Soul, it is a perfect Martial Soul with a score of 6, just like the Xiao Lu man in Fire Emblem.

Even the Six-Winged Angel Martial Soul, which has evolved to its final six wings, is far inferior to the current Stardust Dragon.

Although it is still classified as First-Level God Martial Soul in the classification of super Martial Soul, because it is truly perfect and the limit at the mortal level, its overall strength may not be weaker than that of Quasi-God King Level Martial Soul.

' Stardust Dragon maintains its Stardust Dragon state, which is the final stage of its normal condition. Or rather, its most stable and balanced basic form.'

You Chen pondered to himself.

The Stardust Dragon Martial Soul in this state can be said to have evolved, but it can also be said that it has not evolved.

Its essence and hierarchy have not actually changed; it has simply been pushed to the extreme in terms of quantity.

This is one aspect of the changes to Stardust Dragon.

Another change is, of course, the form of the "Meteor Dragon". The two are not entirely related.

If Stardust Dragon is the basic form, then Meteor Dragon is the explosive form.

Limited by You Chen's "qi" or "energy" attribute, that is, his Soul Power has not evolved to the level of divine power, he cannot support the normal burst form.

You Chen can only briefly switch to the form of Meteor Dragon by using his Martial Soul Avatar that has lasted for millions of years.

In this state, the Meteor Dragon can truly be considered God King Level Martial Soul.

The reason why the previous Salvation Demon Stardust Dragon was Quasi-God King Level was because the form produced by Ignis's Martial Soul Fusion was not perfect, and it could not even form Martial Soul Innate Domain.

The truly perfect and complete Meteor Dragon nowadays naturally possesses the strength of God King Level Martial Soul.

Even though it was only in the Meteor Dragon form for a short time, You Chen could clearly feel its power.

If we were to list more attributes, it would be 7 points (transcendent level), which surpasses 6 points (exceptional level).

Not only does the Martial Soul Meteor Dragon inherit the Stardust Dragon's abilities, but it also possesses additional domain and talent abilities.

One is Acceleration Domain, within which one's own speed, reaction ability, and thinking speed are enhanced, while others' speed is correspondingly reduced. At the same time, the speed-impeding effect on the Meteor Dragon is close to zero.

Such authority is probably no weaker than that of the true God of Speed, and may even be stronger.

One of his two innate abilities is called Stardust Phantom, which is the same name as the Self-Created Soul Skill You Chen created before. In fact, it could be said that You Chen created this Soul Skill in advance by Simulation the ability of Meteor Dragon.

As a talent ability of Meteor Dragon, the evolved form of Stardust Dragon, it is comparable in overall strength, but its significance lies in its superiority.

The Stardust Phantom version of the talent ability can create up to five phantom clones, including the original body, as the duration of the Acceleration Domain increases.

Once a clone is destroyed, it will not regenerate or summon a new clone; it needs to be reactivated by re-activating the domain to re-coalesce.

In this light, it is inferior to You Chen's self-created Stardust Phantom.

However, the talent "Stardust Phantom" allows the original body and the illusion to switch positions at any time. It also possesses certain rule-based properties. The illusion's strength is not limited by Soul Power or flesh and blood, but is forcibly elevated to match the original body. However, other than that, its limitations are no different from the self-created version. For example, it does not possess the original body's regenerative abilities, and because it is a split entity, it does not possess a spiritual sea and cannot unleash powerful mental attacks.

Simply put, the custom version is more flexible, while the talent version is more powerful.

The former can no longer keep up with the true combat intensity of You Chen and is merely a functional skill, while the latter will never fall behind in battle no matter what.

The second innate ability is called Vanishing. Its function is similar to Kamui's Hollowfication in Naruto. In essence, it is to transcend time and space by entering the moment when Stardust Dragon evolves into Meteor Dragon, and then reappear.

However, it cannot be activated indefinitely; it can only be activated once every certain period of time. Compared to the Invincible Golden Body, which has a damage absorption cap, this is a truly invincible skill.

All of this means that, in his Meteor Dragon form, You Chen's combat power can be said to have risen from the Third-Level God to the level of Second-Level God.

After all, it is God King Level Martial Soul. In terms of strength, even if it is inferior to the Dragon God, the difference will not be too great. It is equivalent to obtaining high-level equipment at a low level, so the improvement is huge.

However, to continue climbing further, it cannot be achieved by improving one or even two levels of a single ability.

Swoosh.

Its form changed drastically, and a phantom of the Sky Azure Bull Python, resembling the Azure Dragon from mythology, appeared beside You Chen.

Da Ming, sensing the changes within himself, exclaimed with delight, "How could there be such an improvement? I feel like my soul level is approaching that of a legendary god! You Chen, thank you!"

"Big brother!?"

Er Ming also made a sound of surprise and uncertainty, his eyes darting back and forth between You Chen and Da Ming.

"Alright."

You Chen replied, "I used special methods to upgrade this Soul Ring to the million-year level, and correspondingly, your soul strength has reached the quasi-divine beast level. Once I become a god, I will transform this Soul Ring into God Ring, and you will probably become a true divine beast."

Even though You Chen answered in such a matter-of-fact tone, the two beasts were still shocked.

In short, the two beasts no longer doubted the promises You Chen had made.

You Chen himself, however, looked into the depths of the Lake of Life, his gaze deep and unfathomable.

'Although I sealed off the space, they couldn't possibly not sense me at this close range. Are they truly fast asleep, or do they simply not want to be exposed to me?'

You Chen shook his head, not wanting to think about it anymore.

He also has no plans to make contact with the Soul Beast hidden beneath the Lake of Life for the time being.

Switching back to his First Incarnation, his Soul Power Level naturally reached level 99.

With such immense and powerful Soul Power, You Chen naturally completed the condensation of his third Soul Core, the "Qi" Soul Core, or rather, the "Stardust" Soul Core.

Then he quickly switched back to his Second Incarnation.

He didn't know if the Divine Realm had detected that his Soul Power had reached its limit during this short period of time, but even if they had, he didn't care much about it now.

Sensing the changes in Soul Power brought about by the resonance of the three Soul Rings, You Chen was also slightly excited.

That slight increase in Soul Power strength didn't really matter to You Chen; the key was still the speed of Soul Power recovery!

The restoration of Soul Power brought about by multiple Soul Core is neither a simple addition nor a multiplication.

A dual-core processor is about three times faster than a single-core processor, and a triple-core processor is about three times faster than a dual-core processor.

You Chen's current peak Soul Power recovery speed is almost a thousand times that of an ordinary Soul Master!

The biggest advantage is that the rate of Soul Power recovery drops much slower than before. When the total amount of Soul Power drops to 10%, the rate of Soul Power recovery only drops to 100 times.

The battery life and resilience are incomparable.

Having laid such a solid foundation during the mortal stage, after becoming a god, he can use his divine power to transform the three Soul Core into Divine Core, ensuring that he will not fall behind even after becoming a god.

The biggest problem is that the source of transformation required for divine power is far more complex than that for Soul Power, so even if the conversion rate of the Divine Core is high, it is useless.

Leaving aside the lower realms, even in the Divine Realm, the Immortal Spiritual Energy is not inexhaustible.

Fortunately, You Chen had already prepared a contingency plan for this.

'Compared to the power of faith and Immortal Spiritual Energy that require the gods to cultivate their own resources, the Cosmic Power is clearly far more abundant, and there is no need to worry about it running dry.'

Thinking of this, You Chen's eyes flickered slightly.

The so-called Divine Realm is nothing more than a small world that Parasite the 108 lower realms and relies on their blood to function.

Even because the fertility of the 108 farmlands was insufficient, the gods, in their pursuit of immortality, altered the flow of time between the Divine Realm and the mortal realm, requiring hundreds of times the amount of offerings to maintain life in the Divine Realm.

If he could directly use the virtually limitless Cosmic Power, even if gods were of equal strength to him, or even if they were to fight him in groups, they would have almost no chance of defeating him.

Bo Saixi's current spread of the "Star God" faith in the seas is precisely the groundwork laid by You Chen.

You Chen's true purpose is to condense the position of the Star God, grasp the authority of the stars, and thus comprehend the Cosmic Power.

The prerequisite for forming a divine position in this world is that the level 99 Soul Power, which has reached the bottleneck of the world, has been achieved.

Logically, he should already be able to truly draw upon the power of faith.

However, before that...

'First, I'll convert the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King into my Soul Ring.'

Unlike Bibi Dong, who had difficulty catching up with the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King, You Chen naturally didn't forget to leave a mental imprint when he used the Shooting Sonic to knock the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King away last time. In addition, his Divine Sense had just successfully broken through to the Third-Level God strength, so catching up with this million-year-old Soul Beast was naturally no problem.

Considering that Bibi Dong had previously targeted Da Ming Er Ming, You Chen directly arranged for Er Ming to leave Star Dou and go to the Beast Soul Alliance Headquarters.

Although Er Ming stammered that he wanted to stay at the Lake of Life, You Chen, who knew the reason, was too lazy to explain and forcibly took him away.

In addition to absorbing Soul Ring, the sacrifice made by the Da Ming also yielded Soul Bone.

The main Soul Bone in You Chen's body is the sternum bone that was reserved for the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King, which is a million years old.

Realizing that the Perfect Stardust Dragon form was the final basic form, You Chen did not hesitate to use the Adaptive Soul Bone he had previously stored up.

As a result, he acquired two additional External Soul Bone: a pair of Dragon Wing Soul Bone and a Dragon Tail Soul Bone.

As for the Martial Soul Age Doubling Card, You Chen actually only used one this time.

The drop rate on Tang Hao's farmland was higher than expected, and the reward for increasing the age of the Soul Ring was enough to raise Da Ming's age to 500,000 with a surplus.

After doubling his power once, You Chen tried using the doubling card a second time. Unfortunately, the system prompted that a million years was the maximum lifespan of Soul Ring. To upgrade it further, he could only use divine power to evolve it into God Ring, so he gave up.

Overall, this sacrifice can be considered a perfect ending.

On the other hand, Bibi Dong, who had fled all the way back to the Spirit Hall, finally learned about her current reputation in the Douluo Continent.
