Dragon God Possession, the Possibility of All-Attribute Patterns

Yu Xiaoheng suddenly opened his eyes, and a flash of golden light vanished in an instant.

He sprang to his feet and let out a dragon roar that shook the entire forest!

"Roar—!"

Soundwaves surged outward, trees swayed, and countless beasts cowered in terror.

This was no longer the cry of a young dragon, but a roar carrying a trace of a true Holy Dragon's majesty!

He could clearly feel the surging Soul Power within him had firmly settled at the peak of level fifteen.

A Soul Ring of over two thousand years, nearly Three Thousand Year, had increased his Soul Power by five and a half levels.

If word of this got out, it would be enough to shake the entire Spirit Master world.

Yu Xiaoheng understood that this was not because the Soul Ring's power was unusually extraordinary, but because the quality of his Golden Holy Dragon Spirit was simply too high.

The upper limit of the Soul Power he could contain was far beyond that of ordinary Soul Masters.

If it had been an ordinary genius Soul Master absorbing a Soul Ring containing overwhelming resentment and ancestral dragon blood, it would not have been impossible for their Soul Power to leap straight to levels eighteen or nineteen.

For him, this dense and pure accumulation of Soul Power was a far more solid foundation.

What excited him even more was that, with the completion of the Soul Ring absorption, a profound piece of information had already been imprinted within his Martial Soul.

First Spirit Skill.

With a thought, Yu Xiaoheng gave it an appropriate name.

Dragon God Possession.

Its effect was straightforward and tyrannical: a sustained enhancement skill.

Once activated, the Holy Dragon phantom would completely merge with his body, comprehensively increasing his strength, speed, and defense.

Even more exquisitely, he could briefly undo the fusion and allow the Holy Dragon phantom to leave his body and attack as an independent combat force. During that brief separation, the enhancements on his own body would not immediately fade unless the Golden Holy Dragon Hatchling remained outside to fight for an extended period.

It combined offense and defense and could change in countless ways.

It was practically a perfect Spirit Skill.

As he carefully sensed it, he discovered that this Spirit Skill could also work in tandem with the two patterns generated by the Holy Dragon Hatchling.

When he activated the Thunder Mark, his Soul Power would naturally become wrapped in a layer of pale blue electric arcs. Every attack carried a powerful paralysis effect, enough to cause a momentary stagnation in an opponent's Soul Power circulation.

When he activated the Fire Pattern, his Soul Power would ignite in golden-red flames, and his attacks would carry a burning effect, clinging to the opponent like maggots to a bone as it continuously consumed their body and Soul Power.

If he activated both patterns at once, the consumption would double, but the destructive power of the Dragon Flame Lightning formed by interwoven thunder and fire would far exceed one plus one.

"Wait... the Fire Pattern?"

Yu Xiaoheng raised a brow, sensing that something was wrong.

He immediately summoned his Martial Soul.

The tiny Golden Holy Dragon Hatchling floated above his palm, the silver-blue Thunder Marks on its body as clear as ever.

Yet on its left forearm, there was unexpectedly a brand-new pattern.

It was a flame totem. Compared with the complete Thunder Mark, however, this Fire Pattern appeared somewhat damaged, and its color was much dimmer.

He instantly understood the key to it.

Liu Erlong.

During that period, Liu Erlong had repeatedly used their Martial Soul Fusion Skill with him to help stabilize his still-unstable Golden Holy Dragon Spirit.

Through those repeated fusions, strands of pure Fire Dragon Power had long since silently merged into the source of his Martial Soul.

Now, taking advantage of the opportunity to absorb the Soul Ring and using the boundless vitality of the External Soul Bone, the Heart-Protecting Dragon Ribs, as a catalyst, that hidden flame power had finally manifested into form.

Thinking of this, Yu Xiaoheng sank his awareness into his chest and carefully sensed the brand-new External Soul Bone.

A moment later, a sharp light burst from his eyes.

This Soul Bone, taken from the special organ of an ancestral mutant, possessed only two core abilities.

Yet each one was utterly heaven-defying!

First, it strengthened the purity of dragon bloodlines.

Every time he activated the Soul Bone, it could purify his bloodline, making the aura of the Golden Holy Dragon increasingly dense as it evolved toward a true complete form.

Second, Full-Domain Energy Conversion.

It could stabilize and purify any form of attribute power Yu Xiaoheng absorbed. Whether it was the lightning of the Thunder Pool or Liu Erlong's flames, it could ultimately transform them into the most fundamental Dragon Clan Power, perfectly adapting them to his Martial Soul.

Simply put, the Thunder Marks condensed through Thunder Pool body tempering would continuously evolve toward true Dragon Lightning with the Soul Bone's support.

And that damaged Fire Pattern had only been able to remain because of the Soul Bone's ability to solidify energy.

This Soul Bone could not only provide an endless supply of bloodline power, but also represented an entirely new path of evolution!

In the future, even if he could not find suitable light- or dragon-attribute Soul Rings, he could still drive the evolution of his Martial Soul by absorbing power from other attributes.

Of course, Yu Xiaoheng would not be that foolish.

He knew perfectly well that the Soul Bone's conversion still involved an extra layer. It was nowhere near as direct or efficient as absorbing Soul Rings of the same light or dragon attributes.

"Wait... if this Soul Bone is so miraculous, then couldn't I..."

A bold thought emerged in his mind, making his heart begin to race.

In this world, the compatibility between the two sides of a Martial Soul Fusion Skill only affected the final output strength.

It did not affect the trait of an unstable Martial Soul absorbing other attributes!

Then could he... find a powerful ice-attribute Soul Master to fuse with and add an Ice Pattern to the Holy Dragon?

Then find a shadow-attribute Soul Master and add a Dark Mark?

Or even a spiritual-attribute Soul Master and add a Spirit Pattern?!

With the Heart-Protecting Dragon Ribs External Soul Bone, the chances of him generating new patterns would greatly increase, and it could purify all those mixed powers into the Holy Dragon's fundamental dragon power!

The benefits of this were simply explosive!

The more Yu Xiaoheng thought about it, the brighter his eyes became.

Just then, that ancient, imposing voice rang out in his mind once more, carrying obvious approval.

"I never expected that, at such a young age, your body tempering has already reached the realm of a Perfected Dragon Body. That is truly rare."

"I suggest that you continue cultivating in the family Thunder Pool. The other patterns on your body are mixed and impure, incapable of achieving much. But if you can cultivate your Thunder Mark into Extreme Lightning, then even if the Golden Holy Dragon completes its evolution in the future, this Extreme Lightning will still bring it considerable benefits."

Yu Xiaoheng's heart stirred.

His ancestor... had not sensed his full situation.

Perhaps it was because they were separated by time and space, or perhaps for some other reason. His ancestor believed that his Golden Holy Dragon Spirit had already fully evolved, unaware that the current Holy Dragon was still far from complete.

Yet his ancestor's advice struck straight to the heart of the matter.

Extreme Lightning!

No matter how his Martial Soul evolved in the future, an extreme elemental power would be an irreplaceably powerful trump card.

And his ancestor had already pointed out the method of cultivating it—continuously absorbing the pure lightning energy within the family Thunder Pool.

"Then... what about Extreme Fire?"

Yu Xiaoheng's thoughts immediately began to spread.

Since the Thunder Mark could be cultivated into Extreme Lightning, there was no reason the Fire Pattern, which had already taken initial shape, could not do the same!

His thoughts suddenly cleared.

He had now attained a Perfected Dragon Body. The upper limit of energy his physical body could endure far surpassed that of any disciple in the sect.

If he could find a fire-attribute body-tempering treasure ground similar to the Thunder Pool, then supplement it with Liu Erlong's Fire Dragon Power for guidance and enhancement...

Perhaps he really could forcibly cultivate this damaged Fire Pattern to the level of Extreme Fire!

By then, with dual extreme thunder and fire, along with the Golden Holy Dragon's fundamental power...

His combat strength would likely be enough to crush any Soul Master of the same rank, or even those of a higher rank!

As for where he could find such a treasure ground...

Drawing upon the memories of two lifetimes, a name clearly surfaced in his mind.

Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well!
