Emerald Shadow Dragon Bone, Heavenly Phoenix Arrives

The immense energy dissipated.

Revealing what lay within.

The Emerald Shadow Dragon Snake's body had been pierced clean through by a spear condensed from Life Energy.

Unlike other Soul Beasts, no Spiritual Power leaked from it.

Instead, the Emerald Shadow Dragon Snake's corpse turned into specks of dark golden light and began to crumble away.

In the end, its corpse vanished without a trace, leaving behind only an emerald-colored Soul Bone resembling a Horn Bone.

Ling Luo stepped forward and picked it up.

Guardian Soul Beasts were different from the other Soul Beasts in the Spirit Ascension Platform.

These Guardian Soul Beasts were not simple products of Spiritual Power, but were born from Soul Bones.

In a sense, these Soul Bones could also be considered rewards for Soul Masters capable of defeating Guardian Soul Beasts.

However, the vast majority of Soul Masters knew nothing about this.

Because Guardian Soul Beasts were far stronger than the Soul Masters permitted to enter the Spirit Ascension Platform.

Take this Emerald Shadow Dragon Snake, for example.

Capable of contending with high-level Soul Saints, it was practically invincible in the Intermediate Spirit Ascension Platform, which only permitted those below Soul Saint rank and forbade Battle Armor from being brought in.

Under normal circumstances, it was not Soul Masters who killed Guardian Soul Beasts to obtain Soul Bone rewards, but Soul Masters who were defeated and expelled from the Spirit Ascension Platform by them.

In a sense, Guardian Soul Beasts did more than simply guard the Spirit Ascension Platform's boundaries for the Spirit Pagoda. They also helped the Spirit Pagoda save on expenses to a certain extent.

After all, the price of admission to the Spirit Ascension Platform was fixed.

The Spiritual Power of these Soul Spirits did not come from nowhere either. It all required costs.

Thus, the Spirit Pagoda naturally hoped that Soul Masters entering the Spirit Ascension Platform would be eliminated as quickly as possible.

Ling Luo, however, was an exception.

His strength was far beyond what his cultivation level could measure.

Naturally, Ling Luo gladly accepted this Soul Bone reward.

Not to mention that this Emerald Shadow Dragon Snake's Soul Bone seemed quite compatible with him.

The very fact that a Soul Beast like the Emerald Shadow Dragon Snake, which should not have appeared here, had appeared here was the work of certain people.

Ling Luo had to accept this Soul Bone.

After all, if they wanted to test him, they naturally had to pay a price for that test.

"It's over."

Ling Luo stepped down through the air, emerald ripples spreading beneath his feet.

"Boss, are you even human?"

Yuanen Yehui felt her throat go dry.

The previous Soul Beasts were one thing, but even the Emerald Shadow Dragon Snake, capable of contending with a high-level Soul Saint, had been dealt with just like that?

Yuanen Yehui had thought that even if Ling Luo could handle that Emerald Shadow Dragon Snake, he would at least have to go through a fierce battle.

Yet from beginning to end, Ling Luo had only used two Spirit Skills.

They were clearly around the same age, so why was the gap this enormous?

Ling Luo said nothing. He merely smiled and slowly raised one finger.

One month's salary warning.

Yuanen Yehui silently shut her mouth.

A damned, tyrannical capitalist.

Their harvest was complete.

Everyone had obtained the greatest amount of Spiritual Power they could bear.

However, they did not leave the Spirit Ascension Platform immediately, instead heading to the outer region.

"Na'er, I'll leave it to you."

"Don't worry." Na'er waved the Silver Dragon Spear in her hand, its blade gleaming with cold light.

Seeing this, Ling Luo gave a slight nod, sat down cross-legged, and took out the horn-type Soul Bone left behind by the Emerald Shadow Dragon Snake.

This Soul Bone could not be taken out of the Spirit Ascension Platform.

If it had been one of the normal six Soul Bones, Ling Luo definitely would not have absorbed it so casually.

After all, a Ten Thousand Year Soul Bone might be an unimaginably precious treasure to others.

But to Ling Luo, it was somewhat lacking.

Whether it was Yun Ming or Ya Li, their plans for Ling Luo's Soul Bones started at one hundred thousand years.

But External Soul Bones were different.

The age of an External Soul Bone did not affect it as much as it did the six normal types of Soul Bones.

Moreover, many External Soul Bones possessed the ability to grow.

Ling Luo sat cross-legged and absorbed the External Soul Bone from the Emerald Shadow Dragon Snake.

Na'er stood guard beside him with the Silver Dragon Spear in hand, using her Spiritual Power to monitor every movement nearby and protect Ling Luo.

Although there was no true death in the Spirit Ascension Platform.

If they were forced to leave the Spirit Ascension Platform because of an accident, this Soul Bone would be wasted.

The absorption process went smoothly.

The occasional Soul Beasts that appeared were easily dealt with by Na'er's Silver Dragon Spear.

Ling Luo slowly opened his eyes.

Two emerald dragon horns gleamed brilliantly beneath the golden sunlight.

The dragon transformation that the Emerald Shadow Dragon Snake had failed to achieve had, with the help of Ling Luo's Seed of the God King, completely transformed and attained true dragon transformation!

At the same time, the life attribute belonging to the Emerald Shadow Dragon Snake was further enhanced.

"Ling Luo, how is it?"

Na'er asked with concern, her eyes sparkling as she looked at him.

Ling Luo, with dragon horns on his head and in his Life Angel state, was simply exactly Na'er's type.

"Not bad."

Ling Luo smiled faintly. He turned his head and looked above the Deep Forest, as though speaking to someone.

"Thank you for your gift, Senior."

"A gift? What gift?" Na'er's little mind could not quite process it.

But Ling Luo did not explain. He merely smiled.

"It's nothing. Let's go."

After voluntarily exiting the Spirit Ascension Platform, Ling Luo stood up from the device.

Feeling the even more immense power within his body, he lightly clenched his fist, feeling thoroughly refreshed.

He walked out of the room.

At the same time, Gu Yue and the others emerged from another room.

"Thank you."

"Thank you, boss."

Yuanen Yehui and Ye Xinglan voiced their thanks.

They had truly eaten their fill during this trip to the Spirit Ascension Platform.

If not for Ling Luo, this demon king, shielding and escorting them, they never could have gained so much.

"It was nothing." Ling Luo waved it off without a care.

It was merely a small tactic to win people over. It took no effort on his part.

"What remarkable talent in one so young."

Clear applause rang out slowly.

A beautiful figure swayed her hips as she walked toward them.

She wore a crimson-red gown, her tall and graceful figure perfectly proportioned. Every gesture carried the confidence of a top-tier Soul Master.

Clearly, this woman's identity was extraordinary.

"Teacher."

Gu Yue spoke softly and gave the woman a slight bow.

Teacher?

Hearing Gu Yue's form of address, Yuanen Yehui and Ye Xinglan immediately guessed that the woman before them must be one of the Spirit Pagoda's higher-ups.

The reason Gu Yue had been able to mobilize that high-ranking Spirit Pagoda car earlier was likely due to this woman's status.

The woman smiled faintly and nodded at Gu Yue. Then, her phoenix-like eyes swept over everyone.

When she saw Na'er, whose appearance was sixty percent similar to Gu Yue's, her expression changed slightly before quickly returning to normal.

Her gaze finally settled on Ling Luo.

"This is our first meeting, Ya Li's little brother."

"I am Leng Yaozhu, Gu Yue's teacher."

When she mentioned Ya Li, Leng Yaozhu's tone clearly fluctuated.

Ling Luo keenly noticed this and understood the reason behind it.

After all, this Heavenly Phoenix Douluo and Spirit Pagoda Vice Pagoda Master was his sister Ya Li's romantic rival!

No, she should be called the loser.

After all, the outcome between his sister and the woman before him had long since been decided.
