White-Haired Loli
Deep within the Star Luo Empire, in a deserted canyon, six figures—four men and two women—stood intertwined on the ground.
Although the individuals had different appearances, they all possessed extraordinary presence and unique charm, clearly indicating that they were all powerful figures of their time.
At this moment, they were raising their hands high, surrounded by a misty haze, their eyes blazing with strange light, struggling to maintain a huge, pitch-black crack in mid-air, which looked very difficult.
"... I can't hold on much longer. The pressure from the spatial laws of the main world is just too strong. What should we do, boss?"
In the sky, the enormous crack trembled slightly.
The person who spoke was a burly, bald man with a face full of scars, who looked fierce and domineering.
The black-haired man leading the group snorted coldly, his golden eyes remaining completely calm. "Even if it costs us our lives, we must hold on to the end. I can already sense the Dragon God's aura; our lord will be out soon. Let's hold on a little longer."
Higher above their heads, there was a seven-meter-long, white jade-colored insect-shaped Soul Beast that looked like a silkworm, constantly wriggling its plump body.
Around its body, a ring of pale silver flames burned, continuously emitting a wondrous spiritual rhythm.
Even the slightly distorted space within the canyon was enveloped in a thin mist under the influence of this wave.
"How many days has it been? Wasn't it said that the space-time seal was still there, and it would only take a few hours...?" A series of agonizing cries, inaudible to outsiders, echoed continuously in the insect beast's heart. "Ahhh... It hurts so much... Come out quickly... I don't want to die... This isn't what we agreed on..."
If you look closely, you'll find that this insect-shaped Soul Beast, which looks like a silkworm, has golden patterns encircling its white jade-colored body.
Those flames actually burned on these gold patterns.
However, by this time, those patterns had become incomplete, and most of them had disappeared.
But this seemingly insignificant little Soul Beast plays an extremely crucial role.
The commotion within the canyon was so astonishing, yet it went unnoticed by any Titled Douluo. This was entirely due to the intense spiritual field emanating from its body, which completely concealed the spatial rift and the terrifying aura emanating from the six men and women.
Just then, a flash of silver light appeared, and a male and a female figure suddenly appeared above them, before landing in front of them.
The boy looked quite young, still a teenager, with a touch of childishness on his handsome face. However, his expression was calm and composed, possessing a maturity beyond his years.
But in comparison, the girl next to her was the focus of everyone's attention.
She looked to be only five or six years old, with amethyst-like eyes that adorned her delicate, porcelain-doll-like face.
Coupled with his short, brilliant silver hair and a cold, seemingly lifeless expression, he was simply unlike any mortal, like a phantom that had just stepped out of a painting, ethereal and otherworldly.
However, Di Tian recognized the girl's identity at a glance.
Those once calm and serene golden eyes trembled violently, and his dignified and composed face twitched slightly involuntarily.
"My lord, what is this?"
As she spoke, she glanced at Su Cheng standing next to the Silver Dragon King and subconsciously frowned.
Humans?
Why did the Lord come out of the Dragon Tomb with a human companion?
Was the initial fluctuation in the Dragon Tomb caused by this person? But how did he enter the Dragon Tomb?
And this person's demeanor...
Although the boy in front of him showed no aura, he still felt a great threat and pressure.
His combat experience, accumulated over countless years, gave him an extremely strong combat intuition.
Even without being able to sense the other person's presence, he could be certain that this seemingly young boy was by no means weak.
"We'll talk about it when we get back."
The Silver Dragon King's gaze swept across the surroundings before he spoke calmly.
Her voice was no longer deep; instead, it sounded extremely clear and melodious, with a touch of childishness, creating a stark contrast with her indifferent tone. This sounded rather strange to everyone.
The Silver Dragon King was unaware of what the others were thinking, and even if she did, she wouldn't care. She simply raised her delicate wrist.
As she moved, a silver dragon-like shadow seemed to flash behind the silver-haired girl.
The next moment, the spatial rift closed instantly, and the intense energy fluctuations in the canyon dissipated in the blink of an eye.
Those who had been working hard to maintain the spatial rift immediately felt a sense of relief.
"Huh?"
Di Tian's gaze sharpened as he noticed the seven-colored light on the back of the Silver Dragon King's right hand.
It was a rhomboid scale, no larger than a fingernail, yet it contained an aura of nobility that was difficult to detect.
This aura has immense suppressive power over all Dragon Clan and Soul Beast.
If the Silver Dragon King sat in the position of the ruler of Soul Beast because of his special status and powerful strength, then...
Even without any power, the owner of this aura, by simply releasing a wisp of his aura, would be enough to prevent any Soul Beast from having the slightest thought of resistance.
Dragon God Bloodline!
But shouldn't what remains in the Dragon Tomb be the remnant will of a fragment of the Dragon God's soul? Why is there still bloodline remaining?
His bloodline should have long since been transferred to the split Golden Dragon King and Silver Dragon King.
At this moment, many doubts arose in Di Tian's mind.
For example, where did the Lord's Dragon God Bloodline come from? Why did the Silver Dragon King linger in the Dragon Tomb for so long? And was the Dragon God Core obtained?
Also, why did she suddenly choose to transform into human form, and even in a juvenile state, abandoning her former powerful abilities? And what's the deal with this human...?
He felt his mind was in a mess, but for a moment he didn't know where to begin asking questions.
He paused, then finally looked at the two and asked, "My lord, who is this?"
"..."
The Silver Dragon King glanced at Di Tian, then at Su Cheng, who was leisurely observing the canyon landscape with curiosity, and frowned.
She didn't know how to introduce herself.
Seeing this, Su Cheng took the initiative to speak, staring into the golden eyes of the middle-aged man in black, "Hello, you must be the people the Silver Dragon King mentioned? You must be the Dragon God Guard Captain she mentioned, the Golden Eyed Black Dragon King Di Tian? I am Su Cheng, a friend of the Silver Dragon King."
"?"
Di Tian was taken aback upon hearing this.
A friend of the Lord?
What does this mean? Is the Silver Dragon King going into the Dragon Tomb to make friends?
Damn it.
Could it be that I've been enveloped by the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's mental domain for too long, causing me to fall under an illusion...?
Su Cheng ignored the somewhat dazed Di Tian, and simply scanned the surrounding environment, silently estimating the approximate timeline in his mind.
When the Silver Dragon King introduced the external situation to him earlier, he only gave a general overview of the contrast between the human and Soul Beast factions, as well as the cultivation system of human Soul Master.
As for the internal conflicts among humanity, and the various forces such as the Empire and the Spirit Hall, she obviously didn't know the specifics, let alone who was in power in the Spirit Hall —she simply didn't care about such things.
Su Cheng still needs to gather the relevant information himself.
Then, he examined the distinctive figures standing in front of him.
As expected, judging from their auras, they were all powerful Soul Beast, presumably the top combat force currently under the command of the Silver Dragon King on Douluo Star.
The three men stood a little further forward: a burly, bald man; a lean, middle-aged man with green eyes; and a strong, red-haired man.
These should be the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear King, the Demon Eye Demon Tree King, and the Three-Headed Crimson Demon Hound King that the Silver Dragon King had mentioned to him before.
Their strength isn't particularly high, but the attributes of that Demon-Eyed Devil Tree are quite interesting.
Besides the three of them, there were two stunningly beautiful women standing a little further away.
Among them, the black-haired beauty with purple eyes wearing a black dress had an extremely hot figure, while the other one wearing a light green dress looked much more well-proportioned and had a gentler and more approachable temperament. When she was looked at by those eyes, even her mind calmed down.
But Su Cheng's attention was focused more on the former.
It's not because she has a better figure, but because of her true form...
Pureblood Dragon Clan.
Su Cheng narrowed his eyes slightly. The perfect fusion of darkness and water created a very special attribute, quite unusual, unlike any of the Dragon Clan in the valley.
Of course, the other non- Dragon Clan mother Soul Beast also has very good attributes.
After taking a quick look, he stopped trying to perceive it further and pointed up at the burning insect beast floating in mid-air.
"Aren't you going to leave that guy? He looks like he's about to die."
Upon hearing this, Sky Dream Ice Silkworm was roused and deeply moved.
Regardless of who the person speaking below is, at least they remembered me!
It didn't even have the strength to speak at that moment.
Upon hearing this, Di Tian glanced at the petite Silver Dragon King. Seeing that the other party did not intend to speak, he took the initiative to explain, "It won't die for the time being. We still need to use its power to cover up the commotion here."
Sky Dream Ice Silkworm: "..."
"No need, let it come down." Su Cheng shook his head. "I can protect your aura."
He hasn't come away empty-handed over the past few years.
Although his physical condition limited his progress in improving his strength, he made considerable progress in some techniques for using True Power.
The Dragon Tomb's unique environment, with its mixture of elemental and bloodline powers, provided him with considerable inspiration.
In particular, the Dragon God Power is almost all-encompassing.
Although the bloodline was not fully integrated, some aspects of the application of power are highly instructive.
"This..." Di Tian hesitated upon hearing this.
What is the true identity of the human boy in front of us, and is he trustworthy?
Moreover, this person is far too eccentric.
Regardless of age, strength, location and timing of the other party's appearance, or relationship with the Silver Dragon King, everything was completely illogical, making him feel inexplicably uneasy—he was worried that his leader had been deceived.
Compared to the Silver Dragon King, who spends most of his time sleeping and healing in the Lake of Life deep in the Star Dou Great Forest, he has more time to observe the changes and development of the human world.
Therefore, Di Tian had a much better understanding of the human race, and his hostility and prejudice were also much more severe.
In fact, if he weren't so meticulous and had so many questions that he hadn't yet figured out, Di Tian would definitely have taken the initiative to test him even if the Silver Dragon King were right in front of him.
As for the others, although they had different thoughts at the moment, it was clearly not their turn to speak.
"Just listen to Su Cheng."
A slightly immature, flat female voice rang out.
The Silver Dragon King spoke.
After spending these days together, she and Su Cheng have developed a considerable understanding.
Although only a few days have passed outside, more than a month has actually passed inside Dragon Valley.
As a small world attached to the Douluo Continent, the flow of time between Dragon Valley and Douluo Star was originally exactly the same.
However, when the Silver Dragon King arrived earlier, in order to prevent the outside commotion from being too great and causing unforeseen changes, he specially consumed his source to create a spacetime seal, making the time flow between the small world and the main world differ by about ten times.
Although she only possesses a portion of the Dragon God's authority and controls the power of space, she still retains a very small amount of time-related attributes.
However, this power was extremely limited. Given her physical condition at the time, creating this difference in the flow of time was already the limit of what she could do.
If she hadn't been unable to maintain the spacetime seal after transforming into human form, the two of them would probably have stayed in the Dragon Tomb for a longer period of time, continuing to study the power structure of the Dragon God Core and cultivating with the help of the Dragon Soul's power.
In her calculations, neither Di Tian and the others, nor the Spiritual Origin of Sky Dream Ice Silkworm, could continue to sustain themselves for some time.
As for how much of Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's Spiritual Origin would be depleted after everything was over, that was clearly not within her consideration.
Of course, for the Silver Dragon King, the gains from this trip were already enormous, even far exceeding her original expectations.
This human body...
The Silver Dragon King clenched his fist slightly. This body had immense potential, making it almost a completely different species from ordinary humans.
If judged by the talent of human Soul Master, it would be "innate level 100 Soul Power".
At the time, Su Cheng solemnly told her that this was called "Innate God-Form".
In the future, she will only need to gradually unleash the power deep within her bloodline to ascend to godhood step by step, with no bottlenecks before reaching level 100.
But that doesn't matter.
Even if she reaches level 100 and becomes a god, she is only Third-Level God, which is still far inferior to her original strength.
Even compared to the injured dragon body, there is a significant gap in combat power.
Moreover, after reaching level 100, if one wants to advance further, the difficulty of starting cultivation again is far greater than the difficulty of recovery.
The key is that the Soul Spirit is so strong that it is completely different from the past, giving her an extremely mysterious feeling and greatly increasing her confidence.
It is true that the Silver Dragon King has embarked on the path of human cultivation, but he is different from ordinary Soul Beast Transformation.
The power belonging to the Silver Dragon King, besides being used to Reshaping the bones and bloodline, fill the new body to solidify the foundation, and form a perfect human soul and body, still had a large surplus.
Given her foundation and power level, even if she chose to rebuild her cultivation, she could not possibly squander her original energy like an ordinary Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast.
