True Dragon Soul Bone

Before long, the two of them encountered a Blazing Fire Dragon.

It's a Blazing Fire Dragon, He Qiang thought. What do you think? Should we deal with it?

True dragon souls would certainly be greatly beneficial to us, but I'm afraid they aren't something we can swallow, Chen Long replied inwardly. We can't mobilize our Soul Power right now and can only rely on our physical strength in battle. Although our bodies have improved tremendously over the past month, dealing with this thing will probably still be difficult.

Even if there's a gap, it isn't impossible to make up for it, He Qiang replied inwardly. We can use human intelligence to deal with it.

"Alright, then let's go." Chen Long nodded and charged out first.

At the same time, He Qiang stayed close to the ground and moved along the bushes that concealed his figure.

The Blazing Fire Dragon beat its wings, turned around, and spat an enormous fireball at Chen Long.

Chen Long leaped aside to evade the attack while continuing in the direction opposite to He Qiang's movement.

The Blazing Fire Dragon turned around and fired fireball after fireball. Chen Long repeatedly sprang between the towering trees, dodging attack after attack.

Suddenly, He Qiang leaped up from directly behind the Blazing Fire Dragon and slammed a fist into its head.

Then, in the span of an instant, He Qiang launched four or five attacks in succession.

The Blazing Fire Dragon let out a skyward roar and shook its head, trying to throw He Qiang off. However, He Qiang clung tightly to its neck, doing his best not to be flung away.

At that moment, Chen Long also leaped down from a tree and kicked at the Blazing Fire Dragon's eye.

The Blazing Fire Dragon shook its head and avoided the strike to its eye, but its forehead took the blow directly, leaving a huge wound.

Chen Long then used the recoil to leap back onto the tree before launching another attack, again targeting the Blazing Fire Dragon's eye.

He Qiang, atop the Blazing Fire Dragon's head, was not idle either. He continuously pounded its skull, producing sharp clangs.

Finally, during Chen Long's fifth attack, He Qiang held on with all his strength, preventing the Blazing Fire Dragon from turning its head away. Chen Long struck its eye, and it immediately howled and shut its eyes.

Having lost its sight, the Blazing Fire Dragon went berserk, destroying large stretches of forest.

Then, Chen Long and He Qiang joined forces and unleashed simultaneous full-power strikes, shattering the Blazing Fire Dragon's dragon soul. It split into two portions of energy, which the two of them absorbed respectively.

A little less than half an hour later, the two of them opened their eyes at the same time.

"This Blazing Fire Dragon's dragon soul really is quite effective. It not only strengthened our bodies, but also improved our resistance to the Fire attribute to some extent," He Qiang said.

"Let's keep going. We should still encounter quite a few true dragon souls," Chen Long said with a nod.

For two months, the two wandered near the Dragon Tomb, killing more than forty true dragon souls in succession. Having absorbed the immense power of those true dragon souls, they were now confident that, relying solely on their physical strength, they could defeat their former selves from before entering the Dragon Valley's small world.

After all, even disregarding the improvement in their physical qualities, both of their attribute resistances had advanced considerably.

At that moment, the two stood on a peak along one side of an inward-curving valley, gazing silently at the Dragon Valley a thousand meters below.

Mist coiled through the Dragon Valley, where countless enormous Dragon Bones lay piled together, suffusing the place with a desolate air.

He Qiang and Chen Long exchanged glances and nodded. Then, they made their way down along the side of the valley.

With their strength, they could easily blast small holes into the valley wall to slow their descent.

Five minutes later, both of them reached the bottom of the valley.

As far as the eye could see, there were nearly a thousand giant dragon skeletons, and a bleak aura washed over them.

At that moment, He Qiang and Chen Long simultaneously dropped to one knee. As they had agreed beforehand, they said, "Esteemed seniors, please grant us your strength. Twenty thousand years from now, we will follow at the side of the Dragon Clan's king and repay this karma!"

There was no response. The Dragon Valley was deathly silent.

One day, two days, three days... From beginning to end, neither He Qiang nor Chen Long moved even once.

On the seventh day, He Qiang finally could no longer hold on and collapsed.

Although they had previously replenished themselves with true dragon souls, they had gone seven days without food and remained completely motionless. No matter how strong He Qiang's physique was, he was still human in the end. Naturally, he could no longer endure and fell over.

Like a domino effect, Chen Long collapsed not long afterward as well.

The two lay unconscious in the Dragon Tomb for a long time without waking.

Suddenly, dragon souls condensed atop two of the enormous true dragon skeletons.

The two dragon souls looked at each other for a few moments, as though they had made some decision. Then, a transparent bone floated out from each skeleton.

If an experienced Soul Master had seen this scene, they would definitely have cried out in shock. Those were True Dragon Soul Bones!

Even ordinary Spirit Bones were treasures that Soul Masters dreamed of obtaining, let alone Spirit Bones left behind by powerful true dragons.

Both of these Soul Bones were hundred-thousand-year trunk Spirit Bones. One radiated an aura of light, while the other radiated an aura of darkness.

Then, the Light Attribute Soul Bone flew into Chen Long's body, while the Dark Attribute Soul Bone entered He Qiang's body.

The fusion of the Soul Bones seemed to proceed quite smoothly. Although the two remained unconscious, no accidents occurred under the dragon souls' control.

Then, the two of them were sent out of the Dragon Valley.

Half a day later, somewhere on the Star Luo Continent.

He Qiang and Chen Long slowly opened their eyes and struggled to their feet.

"Where are we?" He Qiang asked groggily.

"We should still be on the Star Luo Continent, but it seems we've already left the small world," Chen Long said.

"Wait, why does something feel wrong?" He Qiang suddenly said in surprise. "This is... a Soul Bone!"

"It seems our sincerity moved them." Chen Long nodded. "But this means that twenty thousand years from now, we'll have an additional burden."

"Today's cause becomes tomorrow's result." He Qiang nodded. "Since they lent us a hand today, we'll lend them a hand when the time comes. Besides, as long as we arrange the opening properly, everything will surely go smoothly twenty thousand years from now."

Chen Long nodded. "Let's go first. There should still be other undiscovered opportunities on the Star Luo Continent."
