The Dragon Lurks in the Nine Abysses, Not Afraid of Battle!

Star Luo City, Star Luo Empire.

Lin Manor.

The night was deep, the bright moon hung high, and the moonlight poured down like silver gauze, plating the grounds of the vast manor in a cold sheen. Just then, the manor's main gate was pushed open gently, and a small figure walked in slowly.

He wore a moon-white martial outfit, his long ink-black hair tied back with a silver ribbon. Most striking were his clear, translucent, amethyst-like purple eyes, which shimmered with a faint luster under the moonlight.

The youth was named Lin Yuan, a transmigrator from Blue Star. However, the point in time he had arrived at was not the magnificent "Three Gods Hegemony Era" of Douluo Continent's history, but the Peerless Tang Sect period, mocked by countless transmigrators as "Tang San's Dog Training Chronicle."

Like many transmigrators, Lin Yuan had bound the [God-Tier Assistance] system before arriving on the Douluo Continent and had received the God-Tier Assistance Grand Gift Pack as a starter reward.

Yet, even so, he could not escape the near-ironclad curse of the transmigrator circle: starting as an orphan with a mysterious background. Three years ago, his parents had both passed away in an accident riddled with suspicious circumstances.

[Ding! Detected that the host has reached the age for Martial Soul awakening. Do you wish to begin the awakening?]

Lin Yuan's lips curled slightly, a flash of realization crossing his purple eyes. Having spent three years traversing, he had long since figured out the key nodes of the awakening process from the system's sporadic prompts. Hearing the notification now, he didn't hesitate for a second.

"Begin awakening."

The moment the words left his lips, the night sky changed color. The clear moon was wrapped in a pale golden halo, and countless fine specks of light converged from all directions. The next second, a colorful golden radiance manifested out of thin air, forming a nine-colored light barrier that enveloped him.

Inside the barrier, countless specks of light, guided by an invisible force, poured endlessly into Lin Yuan's limbs and bones, traveling along his meridians. Everywhere they passed, every inch of his sinews and bones trembled, emitting an inaudible hum, and his body began to shake uncontrollably. Soon, the colorful golden barrier shrank tighter and tighter, finally turning into a streak of light that drilled into the center of his brow.

"Roar! Roar! Roar!"

Three dragon roars that shook the heavens exploded, the sound waves spreading out like physical force with Lin Yuan at the center. The night sky over Star Luo City seemed to be torn apart; the floating clouds dissipated instantly, and even the pale golden halo around the moon shook violently, nearly shattering.

Before the three dragon roars had faded, the space around Lin Yuan suddenly twisted violently. Nine-colored clouds poured down from the void like a waterfall, converging into a pillar of light above his head.

The nine-colored radiance surged and condensed at the top of the pillar. The cold glint of scales pierced the clouds before the dragon itself appeared—a nine-colored giant dragon large enough to shroud the entire night sky of Star Luo City. Its horns were as clear as glass, every scale shimmered with nine-colored divine light, and its eyes were two beams of purple-gold light piercing the world. Merely hovering in mid-air plunged the entire Star Luo City into an unprecedented, deathly silence.

At the same time, the powerhouses across the Douluo Continent felt this dragon might that stood above all things. They stopped what they were doing in unison, gazing toward Star Luo City with heavy, horrified expressions.

Star Dou Great Forest, Core Area.

At this moment, a handsome man in a black robe stood before the Lake of Life, a lock of golden hair hanging by his forehead. His eyes were somewhat dazed: "Lord Dragon God! It is him! This is the aura of Lord Dragon God!"

"Di Tian, is this truly Lord Dragon God?" A woman in a jade-green dress walked behind Di Tian and asked hesitantly.

"Biji, I could never mistake Lord Dragon God!" Di Tian turned abruptly, his usually majestic eyes now glowing with excited red light. "That pressure, which stands above all beasts, that sense of submission originating from the deepest depths of the bloodline—who else but Lord Dragon God could emit such soul-shaking, supreme divine might!"

Biji nodded. Just a moment ago, the life energy within her had nearly surged uncontrollably toward the source of the aura. Watching the unprecedented fanaticism in Di Tian's eyes, she whispered: "But didn't Lord Dragon God fall long ago? That great war in the God Realm..."

"What if he fell?" Di Tian interrupted Biji, his burning gaze fixed on the direction of Lin Yuan. "Perhaps Lord Dragon God's Divine Core was preserved, and he has been reborn through awakening! Regardless, this is a once-in-ten-thousand-years opportunity for my soul beast clan!"

Just then, the ground beneath their feet trembled, and the Lake of Life before them began to boil, bubbling over. Following that, the frequency of the tremors became increasingly violent.

"Boom—"

Amidst a deafening roar, the ground split into a bottomless fissure. A mass of silver light emerged from the crack and slammed heavily onto the shore. It was a massive dragon claw, entirely silver and covered in hexagonal silver scales, carrying a terrifying, incomparable pressure.

Seeing this, Di Tian and Biji stepped forward quickly, knelt on one knee, and said respectfully: "Welcome, My Lord!"

As the words fell, the dazzling silver light vanished. A stunningly beautiful woman in a silver dress with a slender figure appeared before them. Her silver hair cascaded to her ankles, her skin was slightly pale yet exceptionally fair, and her purple eyes were clear and translucent, her long, curled lashes adding a touch of softness.

"I just felt the aura of Lord Dragon God, though it is no longer as formidable as it once was—even weaker than we imagined," Gu Yue Na said, her tone calm. "Di Tian is right; perhaps Lord Dragon God has descended upon the Douluo Continent in a new body and is currently in the initial stage of power recovery."

"My Lord, shall I go and bring Lord Dragon God back now? As long as he can recover his former strength, we will surely restore the glory of the Dragon God Realm!" Di Tian said urgently.

"No need." Gu Yue Na shook her head. "The current Lord Dragon God is essentially human; whether he retains memories of us is unknown. Moreover, rushing over would only make him wary of us. Perhaps he will seek us out himself."

Di Tian's tightly clenched fists slowly relaxed, though his tone remained excited: "It was this subordinate who was blinded by ten thousand years of anticipation and overlooked your careful consideration. It is just that the aura belonging to Lord Dragon God was too real; thinking that the soul beast clan finally has hope to see the light of day again, I could not control my emotions."

"Not just you; even I, the moment I felt Lord Dragon God's aura again, felt my divine soul, which had been silent for tens of thousands of years, trembling." Gu Yue Na looked up toward Star Luo City. "Ten thousand years of waiting—a little longer will not hurt."

On the other side, as the final dragon roar faded, the nine-colored giant dragon that had shrouded the night sky gradually faded, turning into countless streaks of light that flowed into Lin Yuan's body through his limbs and bones. With every streak that entered, he felt his sinews and bones hum with pleasure. His body, which had been tense from the contraction of the light barrier, instantly relaxed. A warm power circulated through his meridians, as if washing away the fatigue accumulated over the years.

The moment the light fully merged into his body, Lin Yuan felt a faint tingling sensation on the top of his head. Before he could ponder it, the tingling intensified, spreading rapidly along his hair. He looked down at a strand of hair falling into his palm; its original ink-black color was fading at a visible rate, turning into a lustrous silver-white in an instant.

The change did not stop there. As time passed, his entire head of ink-black hair lost its dark color. The silver-white strands fluttered slightly with his breathing, and under the moonlight, they added a sense of otherworldly coldness.

[Ding! Dragon God Martial Soul successfully awakened. Congratulations to the host for unlocking the talent skill: Dragon God Transformation!]

[Ding! Detected that the host possesses combat capability. The God-Tier Assistance System is unbinding!]

[Ding! System unbinding complete. As compensation, a limited-time mission has been issued: The host must travel to the Star Dou Great Forest within three days, find the Silver Dragon King Gu Yue Na, and kiss her! Mission success reward: Unlock the Dragon God Domain!]

The moment the system prompt ended, the relaxed expression on Lin Yuan's face froze, his purple eyes filled with astonishment. It wasn't that the mission was difficult; on the contrary, with the natural attraction of the Dragon God bloodline toward the Silver Dragon King, finding Gu Yue Na would not be hard. What truly shocked him was that the final mission left behind after the system unbound was so blunt and bold.

However, he had no time to dwell on it. The heaven-shaking dragon roar and the sight of the giant dragon covering the night sky had already exposed him to the eyes of various factions. Thinking of this, the astonishment in Lin Yuan's eyes was replaced by calmness. The priority was to escape this Lin Manor, which had become the center of attention.

Lin Yuan raised his hand and pointed at the void in front of him, and the Dragon God's space authority awakened. The air touched by his fingertip rippled like water, and circles of silver-white light spread out from his fingertip. In an instant, the light condensed into a two-meter-tall Space Gate. Inside the gate, spatial turbulence surged, yet it lay dormant under the restraint of the Dragon God's authority.

"I hope you don't arrive too quickly. I have no desire to be hunted down as an anomaly by every faction the moment I awaken my martial soul."

Having said that, Lin Yuan did not hesitate any longer and stepped slowly into the Space Gate. Under the protection of the Dragon God's authority, the spatial turbulence within the gate parted automatically. Once his figure vanished completely, the silvery-white halo rapidly contracted and dissipated.

Almost the instant the Space Gate vanished entirely, three figures radiating tyrannical Soul Power fluctuations landed in the open space of the Lin Manor.

The leader was dressed in the Dark Gold Dragon Pattern Robe unique to the Star Luo Empire's imperial family, his expression stern. His sharp gaze swept across the surroundings as he said in a deep voice, "That dragon might that transcended all things and the Nine-Colored Divine Light from just now were absolutely the signs of a top-tier martial soul awakening! Seal off Star Luo City immediately; you must find the soul master who awakened that martial soul!"
