"My lord, there is no need to worry. Although you have not agreed to me yet, the bloodline flowing through you is, after all, Lord Dragon God's.

For that reason alone, this subordinate will not harm you or those around you.

Consider your third soul ring a greeting gift. Besides, based on the human body's capacity, a third ring is only a thousand-year soul ring.

Even with your current physical condition, my lord, at most you can bear a ten-thousand-year soul ring. Do you look down on us soul beasts?" Gu Yuena said somewhat unhappily.

However, this was also part of Gu Yuena's little scheme. Even if Long Yu did not agree "for now," she still needed to build a good relationship with him first. Perhaps it would bring unexpected results in the future.

Besides, as long as it was not a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast, Gu Yuena would not care too much.

Although she was the sovereign of land soul beasts, she could not possibly look after every soul beast.

There would only be one chance. She absolutely could not give up like this! "All right, then when?" Long Yu did not dare refuse either. If this peerless beauty got angry, he might simply be finished.

For such a proud and noble woman to treat him like this, Long Yu could not help feeling conflicted. He had no idea how she had endured all these years.

"Right now. My lord, what type and age of soul beast do you want?" Gu Yuena asked.

Long Yu told Gu Yuena about his original plan. After thinking for a moment, Gu Yuena said,

"I understand. Come with me. I believe I have already found a suitable choice." With a sweep of her jade-like hand, a Spatial Gate appeared.

Seeing this, Long Yu inwardly marveled at the Silver Dragon King's strength. With such mastery over spatial power, perhaps not many gods could compare.

"What about them?" Long Yu pointed toward Hu Liena and Chrysanthemum Douluo's tents.

"Do not worry, my lord. I have covered their senses with Spiritual Power. They will not wake before tomorrow morning.

Moreover, I have already set up a barrier around the area. No outsider or soul beast below god level can force their way through it. The restriction will disappear on its own tomorrow morning," Gu Yuena said thoughtfully.

"All right, let's go." Long Yu praised Gu Yuena's flawless preparations.

"Yes, my lord!" Gu Yuena gestured for Long Yu to enter the Spatial Gate first, only following after him herself.

The two vanished from where they stood, leaving behind only the still-burning campfire.

"Th-this is a Dragon Armored Turtle? And it's twelve thousand years old? How is that possible? Wasn't this type of soul beast already extinct?"

Long Yu stared at the enormous turtle before him, its shell roughly three meters in diameter, dark green and covered in countless short spikes.

Long Yu had only happened upon records of this soul beast in Spirit Hall's archives, yet he had actually encountered one himself.

According to Spirit Hall's records, this soul beast should have gone extinct thousands of years ago because of its exceptionally powerful attributes.

The Dragon Armored Turtle was a supreme existence among turtle-type soul beasts. Its astonishing defense even surpassed the Black Tortoise Turtle, famed across the continent, and it also possessed the defensive enhancement of the metal element.

It also carried a trace of Golden Dragon bloodline. Whether in strength or defense, it was an extraordinarily outstanding existence.

The spikes on its shell could also be used for attack, incomparably hard and sharp.

It was precisely because the Golden Dragon Turtle was of such high quality that it had suffered slaughter at the hands of nearly all human defense-type soul masters. It had not appeared again in Spirit Hall's records from thousands of years ago.

"You will sacrifice yourself to Lord Dragon God!" Gu Yuena said softly, yet her tone carried an authority that could not be defied. Long Yu felt that it even surpassed Bibi Dong's.

This was the majesty and nobility the sovereign of soul beasts should possess.

"Roar!" After letting out a low roar, the Dragon Armored Turtle nodded in agreement. Its gaze toward Long Yu was filled with intense fervor.

This was the Dragon God! Being able to sacrifice itself to Lord Dragon God was its highest honor!

Ah, this happiness came too suddenly. I'm completely caught off guard.

With a wave of Gu Yuena's jade-like hand, a silver curtain of light appeared, concealing the aura in the vicinity.

"My lord, begin accepting the sacrifice. I have concealed this place's aura. No one will disturb us, and even the gods of the Divine Realm will not sense it," Gu Yuena said.

"Roar!" The Dragon Armored Turtle released its final roar. Then black light emerged from its body, and black flames rose from its enormous turtle form.

Long Yu suddenly sensed a powerful magnetic field appearing around him, enveloping him and the Golden Dragon Turtle.

The Dragon Armored Turtle slowly moved beneath Long Yu's feet. The black flames blazed fiercely, burning away its twelve thousand years of life force and cultivation! Black light enveloped Long Yu, and his Dragon God Martial Soul emerged on its own. A multicolored giant dragon rose, its body covered in nine-colored hexagonal dragon scales. Enormous dragon horns, powerful limbs, and massive dragon claws unfolded, sharp enough to seem capable of tearing through everything. It radiated overwhelming Dragon Might and released a resounding dragon roar.

"My lord!" Seeing that familiar giant dragon, Gu Yuena knew it was the Dragon God!

Tears glimmered in Gu Yuena's eyes. How many years had it been? She had thought she would never again be able to see the Dragon God.

This only strengthened her original resolve.

As the black flames continued to burn, the Dragon Armored Turtle's body steadily shrank. Finally, a black ring appeared—a twelve-thousand-year, ten-thousand-year soul ring! The black soul ring floated above Long Yu's head, and the vast Soul Power of the ten-thousand-year soul beast continuously poured into his body.

Long Yu's previously stagnant Soul Power Level began to fluctuate, and his Soul Power started rising without stop.

His entire body felt incomparably comfortable. Long Yu's bloodline, bones, muscles, Spiritual Power, and more were all changing. The Soul Power within his body continued to increase, yet even at its peak, it still did not reach his body's limit.

A phantom of the Dragon Armored Turtle appeared and entered Long Yu's mind. After seeing the Dragon God, it immediately transformed into a streak of black light and entered the Dragon God's mouth.

Who knew how long had passed before Long Yu opened his eyes and exhaled a breath of stale air.

Long Yu clenched his fist, feeling unprecedented strength and abundant Soul Power. Three soul rings—yellow, purple, and black—appeared around him.

Level 32! Long Yu's Soul Power Level had risen by two levels.

"My lord, how do you feel?" Gu Yuena asked.

"Very good. It seems my physical condition really can already withstand a ten-thousand-year soul ring," Long Yu said with a smile.

"Congratulations, my lord!" Gu Yuena said.

"Don't call me 'my lord' anymore. Call me Long Yu, or Ah Yu, Xiao Yu. After all, you're only a tiny little bit older than me," Long Yu said.

It always feels strange when she calls me that. I'm really not used to it.

"This subordinate would not dare," Gu Yuena said in surprise.

"If you consider me the Dragon God, then this is an order. Call me that now!" Long Yu said, pretending to be a little angry.

"A-Ah Yu," Gu Yuena said shyly.

Looking at the peerless beauty before him, Long Yu was filled with mixed emotions.

Gu Yuena had helped him so much now. He could not simply ignore her entirely, could he?

"If you encounter any difficulties in the future, I will do my best to help you.

By the way, are your injuries very serious?" Long Yu asked gently.

"Yes, very serious. The divine power of the Asura God and the God of Destruction is extremely difficult to remove. Even in an environment like the Lake of Life, I estimate that I would need at least twenty thousand years to recover."

Sensing the change in Long Yu's tone, Gu Yuena was also somewhat delighted.

"Twenty thousand years? That long?" Long Yu shook his head.

Although it was only one yuan, I still have to thank big brother for the reward. This is the first time anyone has rewarded this book! Thank you!
