Breaking Through the Fourth Seal, Purifying the Bloodline

Er Ming brought Gu Chen and the others to the core region of the Star Dou Great Forest. A black-haired man stood before them.

He was Di Tian, the Golden-Eyed Black Dragon King in human form.

"Master!" Gu Chen leaped from Er Ming's palm and landed on the ground. Di Tian dropped to one knee and spoke reverently.

"Mm." Gu Chen nodded slightly. "I came here today to remove the fourth seal with Na'er and break through to level 40. Starting from the fourth seal, our true forms will appear whenever we remove a seal. Your task is to conceal the aura we release, lest human experts discover us."

"Yes!" Di Tian nodded forcefully. The Beast God's power spread outward, driving away the soul beasts dwelling within a thousand li.

At the same time, he instructed Da Ming and Er Ming to stand guard at the edge of the core region and prevent anyone from intruding.

Di Tian soared into the air. A faint aura drifted out and blanketed this small stretch of sky, preventing the aura within from leaking outside.

Gu Chen nodded in satisfaction and said to Gu Yuena, "Na'er, remove the fourth seal and condense your fourth soul ring."

Gu Yuena nodded and sat down cross-legged. She had already removed seals and condensed soul rings three times before, so she was thoroughly familiar with the process.

Gu Chen also sat down and circulated the Soul Power within his body to break open the fourth seal.

Gu Chen's human body immediately swelled, transforming into a colossal dragon that towered into the heavens. The Golden Dragon King gleamed with golden light, planting its feet on the ground and crushing out a deep crater.

Behind the Golden Dragon King, Gu Yuena's figure vanished, transforming into the Silver Dragon King. Layer upon layer of scales covered her body as countless strands of divine power burst forth.

The fourth seal shattered, and immense divine power washed over Gu Chen's body. However, because Gu Chen had already cultivated ten levels of Soul Power himself, this divine power did not transform into his Soul Power or raise his cultivation.

The divine power split into two streams. One circulated through Gu Chen's entire body, strengthening his flesh until even his skin radiated a faint golden glow.

The other merged with his Soul Power, enhancing the quality of his Golden Dragon King Soul Power.

That was why he had chosen to cultivate anew. Only by cultivating his own power could his strength undergo a qualitative leap.

Under normal circumstances, divine power would always dissipate to some degree. But before this divine power could leak away, Gu Chen circulated it together with his own Soul Power and condensed a soul ring.

After removing the fourth seal, the strength of his body had already surpassed that of an ordinary Soul Douluo.

Gu Chen transformed back into human form. The handsome boy appeared on the ground once more, seated cross-legged as a soul ring slowly rose behind him.

The soul ring skipped directly past white, yellow, and purple, turning black. At the same time, its dark color continued deepening.

When the soul ring's color finally stabilized, his fourth soul ring had become black with a tinge of red. This meant that his soul ring was at least 90,000 years old!

Normally, absorbing a 90,000-year soul ring required at least the cultivation of a Soul Douluo!

"Ding!"

"System, what's going on with my bloodline?" Gu Chen asked.

"Ding!"

"Host, through cultivating anew, you have purified your Golden Dragon King bloodline. Your bloodline is now even purer."

"Alright." Gu Chen nodded.

After breaking through to level 41, Gu Chen's strength had actually doubled, reaching five hundred times that of a Soul Ancestor at the same level!

One had to know that the higher a soul master's level became, the smaller the difference in attributes became. Although Gu Chen's strength at level 39 and level 41 were both five hundred times that of a Soul Ancestor at the same level, their quality far surpassed that previous five hundredfold increase!

Gu Chen slowly exhaled a breath of stale air and looked toward Gu Yuena in the distance.

The beautiful girl's lovely eyes remained shut. Her stunning silver hair spilled beneath her, while elemental energy circled around her. The rainbow-colored radiance was captivating.

Behind her, the deep-black soul ring slowly stabilized. It was probably around sixty or seventy thousand years old. The soul ring drew back into her body, and the girl opened her eyes.

"How was it?" Gu Chen smiled faintly.

Gu Yuena smiled and nodded. "My Spiritual Power has increased again."

"Ding!"

"System, why is Na'er's bloodline purity higher than mine after removing the fourth seal?" Gu Chen asked in confusion.

"Ding!"

"Host, are you stupid or not? You placed eighteen seals on yourself, while she only has nine. How could they be the same?"

"Uh..." I feel insulted...

"More or less done. It's time to go back and find Tang San and the others." Gu Chen scanned the area. "Hm? Where's Xiao Wu?"

The Sky Azure Bull Python's bull head rose from the distant lake. "Xiao Wu is condensing her soul ring. She'll be done in ten minutes at most. Master, thank you for looking after Xiao Wu."

Gu Chen waved a hand. "It was nothing more than a convenient gesture. Oh, right, once I return, I'll be entering Spirit Hall. At that time, we'll be separating from Xiao Wu and the others, so I'm afraid we won't be able to look after her anymore."

The Sky Azure Bull Python hurriedly replied, "It's fine, it's fine. Master, I am already immensely grateful that you were willing to look after her during this time. I would not dare ask for anything more."

Gu Chen said nothing more and simply waited quietly. Seeing that Gu Chen and Gu Yuena had finished breaking through their seals, Di Tian removed the concealment over their aura and came before the two of them.

"Continue cultivating in the Star Dou Great Forest. If I need you, I'll come find you," Gu Chen said.

Di Tian acknowledged him.

At that moment, a wave of Soul Power rippled through the air. A flash of pink light appeared, and Xiao Wu emerged before the beasts. She stuck out her tongue. "Sorry, Master. I just went to condense my soul ring."

Seeing Xiao Wu, Gu Chen smiled faintly. "It's fine. Keep calling me Brother Chen from now on, and call her Sister Na'er."

"Master, this... this absolutely won't do!" Xiao Wu said nothing, but the Sky Azure Bull Python cried out in alarm.

"It's fine. Let's leave it at that. Xiao Wu is quite adorable too." Gu Chen smiled.

A sharp glint flashed through Di Tian's eyes as he said to Xiao Wu, "Xiao Wu, the Master favors you so greatly. You must not disappoint the Master's expectations!"

Xiao Wu's rabbit ears perked up, and she said happily, "Yes!"

"Let's go back. Otherwise, your Tang San will start worrying," Gu Chen said.

"Mhm." Xiao Wu's little face reddened as she nodded.

Over the past two days, several people had left bad reviews without even reading.

I'm seriously speechless!

They even came up with all kinds of reasons. They didn't like Douluo Continent, didn't like Tang Jia San Shao, didn't like Douluo fanfiction, so they gave me a bad review? Seriously, if you don't like Douluo Continent, then leave?

I clicked on their profiles and saw that my book was not even on their shelves. They were the kind who left a bad review and immediately ran off!

Same old rule: permanently muted and their review deleted. I wish them a long journey toward being muted across the entire platform.
