Enjoying blessings, a 300,000-year-old head soul bone? (Seeking collection, seeking follow-up reads!)

"He most likely took it for his own use, how could he possibly let me know where it is!" After speaking, Ao Tian stared intently at Chen Chu, "Kid, you think him choosing you as his successor is a good thing? He only saw the potential in you and wanted to turn you into a puppet who only knows how to kill. When you inherit his divine position, your future might not be any more comfortable than mine!"

Chen Chu didn't reply. Instead, he walked slowly to Ao Tian and said leisurely, "I don't care what grudges you have with Lord Asura. Right now, you only have two paths. Either surrender to me, and in return, I will help you break the seal, and you'll have a chance to leave behind a bloodline inheritance for your Deep Sea Merman tribe. Or, you can continue to be trapped here until the Three Fiend Energy completely devours your divine soul and you turn to dust in this tower."

Ao Tian's pupils contracted sharply and he didn't respond for a long time. "Can you really break the Asura God's seal?" He had been trapped for a thousand years, and the Three Fiend Energy had already eroded his divine beast foundation. If he delayed any longer, his divine soul would completely dissipate within ten years.

Death, he wasn't afraid of. After all, his greatest wish in the past was to die. But now, he had hope of surviving and could leave behind a bloodline continuation for his race. He had to admit, this temptation was too great. As the strongest of his race, one who had almost ascended to the God Realm, he placed immense importance on the continuation of his bloodline.

But he also knew how powerful the Asura God's seal was. Did this human Soul Emperor, who was only level sixty-something, truly possess such ability?

"You don't have much time to consider," Chen Chu took out the Asura Bead and pressed it against the lock clasp on Ao Tian's neck. The bead instantly merged into the clasp, and dark red runes spread along the iron chain.

He circulated his Soul Power, and the aura of the Slaughter God's Domain intertwined with the power of the Asura Bead, slowly seeping into the seal. "I'll count to three. If you refuse, I'll withdraw my power."

"I surrender!" Ao Tian gritted his teeth and spoke before Chen Chu could finish counting.

He could feel the power of the Asura Bead loosening the seal. This was his only chance in a hundred years. "But if you break your promise, I'll drag you down with me even if my divine soul is destroyed!"

Chen Chu's lips curved into a slight smile, and he suddenly urged his Soul Power. "Don't worry, I never speak empty words." With a crisp "crack," the soul-suppressing iron lock broke, and the seal on Ao Tian completely dissipated.

He suddenly stretched his body. His nearly ten-foot-tall frame erupted with a powerful aura, no less than that of the Sword Douluo from before!

After venting his frustration with a few hearty roars, Ao Tian expelled all the residual Blood Fiend Energy from his body.

"Ao Tian pays his respects to Young Master!" After venting, Ao Tian walked up to Chen Chu and cupped his fists in a salute.

Seeing how obedient the guy was and that he didn't betray him, Chen Chu was quite satisfied. "Please rise, Senior Ao Tian. My cultivation is low, I cannot accept such a grand gesture from you!"

Chen Chu extended his hands to support him. Although he said that, Chen Chu didn't completely trust him in his heart.

"Senior Ao Tian, although you have taken an oath, there are still rules that must be followed." With that, he took a wisp of sealing power from the Asura Bead and brought it before Ao Tian.

He didn't have mind-reading abilities, so he naturally couldn't guess what this guy was thinking. And since he was using an enemy of the Asura God as his subordinate, he naturally had to give him an explanation. This wisp of sealing power, originating from the Asura Bead, was the best guarantee and the best answer.

Ao Tian looked at the annoying yet familiar divine power floating in front of him and felt extremely uncomfortable. However, he also knew that he could not achieve complete freedom. The price for his escape and the ability to procreate was to protect the successor of a god and exert his last bit of value!

He didn't hesitate. He grabbed the wisp of sealing divine power and swallowed it. Afterward, a tiny red bead quietly hid itself within his Soul Core.

Seeing that he didn't resist, Chen Chu breathed a sigh of relief and continued walking into the tower. "Ao Tian, you have stayed in this tower for an infinite amount of time. Do you know what opportunities lie within this tower?"

"Opportunities? I haven't seen many opportunities. There's only me in this tower, and this inexhaustible Three Fiend Energy."

Ao Tian scratched his head, thought for a moment, and then replied.

"Oh, right. There's also that Soul Beast over there. It's also a very high-level Soul Beast, killed by the Asura God and used to suppress the tower."

Hearing Ao Tian's words, Chen Chu finally became a little interested. "Oh, if Senior calls it a very high-level Soul Beast, then I'd like to see it."

He then walked towards the mountain-like corpse on the ground. Due to the long passage of time, the Soul Beast's corpse had lost its flesh and blood essence, as well as its divine bones and spiritual charm.

"If this thing could hold Ao Tian back, then it means there's something suppressing the corpse. Most likely, it's its own Soul Bone!"

Chen Chu arrived beside the corpse and used his Soul Power to ignite a fire, burning the flesh and skin of the body.

After a while, he indeed found a treasure. "As expected, there's a treasure. It's a Soul Bone, and a Head Spirit Bone at that!"

Chen Chu picked up the crystal-clear Soul Bone, which was surrounded by treasure light and full of divinity, and carefully sensed it.

"Ao Tian, do you know what kind of Soul Beast this corpse is, and how many years old it is?"

Although he could feel the extraordinary nature of this Soul Bone, he couldn't determine its specific age and type.

Ao Tian looked at the corpse that had been completely burned and replied, "This Soul Beast has an extraordinary background. It is said to be a superior descendant of the Dragon race. For some reason, it was slain by the Asura God and stored in this tower. This Dragon is named Dream Dragon, a rare spirit-type Soul Beast. Its Soul Bone is as old as three hundred thousand years, a rare supreme treasure in this world!"

"Three hundred thousand years! Is that right?" Chen Chu was stunned by the mention of three hundred thousand years. How could he be so fortunate to receive such a boon and encounter such an opportunity? No wonder the Asura God had stopped him from entering before. It turns out there were so many treasures in this tower.

"Senior Ao Tian, please guard me. I'm going to absorb it now." Without waiting for Ao Tian's reply, Chen Chu immediately adjusted his breathing, restored his body to its optimal state, and eagerly placed the Soul Bone on his head.

The moment it was attached, a surge of immense spiritual power rushed towards him.

The boundless spiritual power flooded into his sea of consciousness like a torrent. Chen Chu felt a sharp pain in his head, as if it were about to be torn apart by this power.

He hurriedly calmed his mind, circulated his Soul Power, and guided this power to roam within his sea of consciousness. At the same time, he mobilized his Soul Power to protect his brain and heart.

"Concentrate, hold on! The spiritual power of this three hundred thousand-year-old Soul Bone is too violent. If your mind falters, at best your sea of consciousness will be damaged, and at worst, you'll become an idiot!"

Ao Tian's voice rang out from the side, carrying a hint of gravity. He had witnessed Soul Masters lose control while absorbing high-year Soul Bones, and the consequences were exceptionally tragic. Most importantly, if this kid went offline so quickly, he would be finished. He hadn't even left offspring yet!

Chen Chu gritted his teeth and nodded, focusing all his attention on his brain. He could feel that this spiritual power not only contained immense energy but also a trace of the Dream Dragon's divine soul imprint. That imprint carried the arrogance and majesty of the Dragon race, constantly impacting his consciousness and trying to seize control of his body.
