The Might of the Dragon Souls, Forging a God-Bestowed Soul Ring
At the bottom of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well -Yang Spring, the two beams of icy blue and Crimson Divine Light, formed from the remnant soul of the Ice Fire Dragon King, carrying boundless rage and God Level majesty, crashed violently against the Thunder Sacred Dragon True Body that Yu Yuanchen had transformed into, like two Torrent of Destruction!
"Boom--!"
A muffled, deafening roar exploded at the bottom of the spring! The terrifying energy shockwave instantly pushed aside the surrounding spring water, creating a brief vacuum zone!
Yu Yuanchen felt an unimaginable force coming from him, as if he had been hit head-on by two ancient divine mountains! Even though he was in his Martial Soul Avatar state and his body was extremely strong, he was still shaken by the power that was purely generated by the instinct of the God Level dragon soul. His Blood Essence and qi surged, and his huge Dragon Body flew backward uncontrollably, crashing hard into the hard spring wall behind him with a muffled sound.
Lightning flashed violently on the dragon scales, dissipating most of the impact and leaving him unharmed. However, Yu Yuanchen's heart was filled with turmoil.
"Such powerful strength! Even a mere remnant of instinctual counterattack possesses such might... God King Level being is indeed terrifying!" He steadied himself, his dragon eyes filled with solemnity.
He could clearly sense that the attack just now wasn't directed at him personally, but rather resembled a kind of "morning grumpiness" after being startled, an instinctive rejection of external touch by the dragon bone. If he had rashly touched it with his hand just now, he would probably have been instantly corroded by that Ice-Fire Divine Power, with unimaginable consequences.
Moreover, he could foresee that if he tried to forcefully approach or touch the dragon bones again, it would inevitably provoke a more powerful, even frantic, counterattack from the two Dragon King Remnant Soul, who might even fight back with all their remaining essence! At that time, even with his Martial Soul Avatar and immunity to ice and fire, he would definitely not come out on top.
"Forcibly seizing it is absolutely impossible..." Yu Yuanchen deactivated his Martial Soul Avatar, reverting to human form. He hovered in the dark spring water, his brows furrowed, his mind racing as he considered countermeasures.
"Dragon bones repel foreign objects, but if it's an aura of the same origin..." A glint flashed in his eyes, "My Thunder Sacred Dragon Martial Soul possesses the True Dragon Bloodline, belonging to the same Dragon Clan as them! If I approach with an aura of the same race, will the repulsion weaken?"
Having thought this through, he no longer hesitated.
"Seventh Soul Skill, Thunder Sacred Dragon True Body!"
In an instant, he transformed once again into a majestic Purple-Gold Holy Dragon! But this time, he did not stop. Instead, he fully activated his cultivation technique, unleashing the bloodline aura of his Thunder Sacred Dragon Martial Soul without reservation! At the same time, his new Dragon Transformation Secret Method, which he had improved by combining his own vast Bloodline Power and far surpassed the original Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan version—a secret technique he named "True Dragon Transformation"—was also pushed to its limit!
"Roar--!"
A Dragon Roar's roar, seemingly from the ancient Primordial Era, emanated from his throat, deep and majestic, carrying the pure aura of the Dragon Clan race! The dragon scales around his body became even more solid, his horns became rugged, and his Dragon Claw became sharp. His entire Dragon Body seemed to be completely forged from Purple-Gold Divine Metal, flowing with blazing lightning and boundless Dragon Might! At this moment, from his bloodline to his aura, he was no different from a true, living Thunder Sacred Dragon!
After completing all this, Yu Yuanchen carefully and slowly approached the two enormous Dragon King skeletons again.
As expected, this time, although the icy blue and crimson Dragon Soul Phantom still appeared, and their dragon eyes still held vigilance and majesty, the strong repulsion and aggressive intent had clearly weakened considerably. They circled around the dragon bones, emitting silent murmurs, as if examining and identifying this Dragon Clan aura that was of the same origin yet somewhat unfamiliar.
Yu Yuanchen was slightly pleased and continued to slowly approach. However, when he got to within about ten feet of the dragon bone, the two Dragon Soul Phantom became restless again, letting out a warning growl. Ice-Fire Divine Power began to gather, clearly indicating that ten feet was the limit they could tolerate. Getting any closer would probably trigger another attack.
"Still not enough..." Yu Yuanchen stopped, a hint of helplessness flashing in his dragon eyes. The shared origin could reduce the rejection, but it was clearly not enough for these two remnant souls of the God King Level to fully accept him, this "strange fellow clansman."
He pondered for a moment, a resolute glint in his eyes. It seemed he had no choice but to resort to this last resort.
With a flick of his massive Dragon Claw claw, nine strange, crystal-like fragments, each shimmering with purple lightning and possessing a unique shape yet radiating the same Dragon Might and ancient aura, appeared within his claw. These were none other than the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan's heirloom— the True Dragon Nine Crowns!
These are nine fragments formed from the shattered Head Soul Bone of the Ancient Thunder Dragon King after its fall, containing a portion of the Thunder Dragon King's Origin Power and Soul Imprint. Their main functions are threefold: first, to ignite potential, temporarily and significantly increasing the age of multiple Soul Ring of the user to 99,999 years, thus explosively boosting combat power; second, the shared effect of Head Soul Bone —greatly amplifying Spiritual Power; and third, and most importantly, "Dragon Soul Awakening"—activating the remaining Soul Imprint of the Thunder Dragon King within the fragments, granting a temporary Dragon Soul blessing, making the user's soul infinitely closer to that of the true ancient Thunder Dragon — the Thunder Sacred Dragon!
However, its use is extremely limited, placing a terrifying burden on the user's body. Without the Cultivation Level foundation of Titled Douluo, using the True Dragon Nine Crowns in its entirety is almost certain death! Even ordinary Titled Douluo risk annihilation! Moreover, it requires an extremely high purity of the user's Dragon Bloodline. In the current Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, apart from the Sect Master Yu Boxuan and the Great Elder Yu Qingtian, who can withstand the backlash with their profound Cultivation Level of 97 and 95 respectively, only Yu Yuanchen, who possesses the true Thunder Sacred Dragon Bloodline after his Martial Soul Evolution, can perfectly withstand its power without being greatly affected.
Yu Yuanchen did not intend to use it to enhance his combat power at this moment, but rather to utilize its most core power, "Dragon Soul Awakening"!
"Dragon Soul Awakening, Activate!"
Yu Yuanchen gave a low shout in his heart, and poured his boundless Soul Power into the True Dragon Nine Crowns. In an instant, the nine crystal-like fragments burst forth with dazzling purple lightning, transforming into nine Daoliu that instantly adhered to his massive dragon head, as if placing a majestic thunderous dragon crown upon him!
"Roar--!!!"
A terrifying Dragon Might, even more ancient, vast, and domineering, seemingly originating from the Thunder Origin, suddenly erupted from Yu Yuanchen's body! His Thunder Sacred Dragon True Body underwent another transformation; more complex and ancient thunder patterns appeared on his dragon scales, his dragon horns became even more ferocious, and his entire Dragon Body seemed to swell, his aura instantly surging, filled with the aura of Primordial Era chaos! At this moment, he seemed as if the Ancient Thunder Dragon King had descended upon him!
This time, the two illusory remnants of the Ice Fire Dragon King visibly trembled! The wariness and repulsion in their dragon eyes greatly diminished, replaced by a trace of bewilderment, doubt, and... a faint hint of recognition, as if they had encountered an existence of equal caliber? Their circling speed slowed, and their low murmurs became much calmer.
Yu Yuanchen was overjoyed and slowly swam forward. Ten zhang, nine zhang, eight zhang... This time, he encountered no further obstacles! He finally managed to get close to the two enormous dragon skeletons!
As he closely felt the immense Dragon Might and residual Divine Power emanating from the two remains of the God King, Yu Yuanchen was filled with awe. He dared not make the slightest offense, let alone damage the dragon bones; that would be suicidal and would instantly provoke the most frenzied counterattack from the remnant souls.
His goal was not the dragon bone itself, but the almost inexhaustible pure Dragon Power contained within it!
He was perched between two massive, Entanglement dragon bones, his Dragon Claw claws resting lightly on them. The broken Thunder God Seal between his brows was slightly warm, resonating with the Soul Core in his dantian. A secret technique Thunder God Inheritance, which originally required Divine Power to activate— the God-Bestowed Soul Ring Condensation Method —slowly flashed through his mind.
Normally, creating God-Bestowed Soul Ring requires a vast amount of Divine Power. The meager Divine Power generated by his damaged God Position position is barely enough for his own cultivation and comprehension, and he simply cannot bear to waste it. But now, with these two God King Dragon Bone as an almost inexhaustible energy source, all problems are easily solved!
He carefully activated the secret technique, drawing upon the pure, yet diametrically opposed, Dragon Power from the two dragon bones through the connection between the Dragon Claw and the dragon bones, like Sisi gentle stream flowing slowly but continuously. One was yin and cold, supple and enduring; the other was yang and fiery, fierce and violent.
Two streams of Dragon Power were drawn out and flowed into his body along his dragon arm. Yu Yuanchen immediately activated the Thunder God Seal between his eyebrows, using that faint Divine Power as a guide to slowly peel away and filter the extreme Fire Attribute contained in these two streams of Dragon Power, which were enough to freeze souls and burn all things, leaving only the most primal and incomparably powerful Dragon Power energy.
Even so, the two streams of Dragon Power, after being filtered, still carried a trace of yin and yang respectively, making them difficult to merge directly. Yu Yuanchen was prepared, and he fully activated the power of the Thunder God Position to enhance his Thunder Sacred Dragon Bloodline and the power of the True Dragon Nine Crowns, injecting the incomparably pure and domineering thunder attribute into the two streams of Dragon Power!
Sizzle! The Purple-Gold lightning, like the most impartial judge in the world, forcefully intervened between Yin-Yang! Under the domineering harmonization of the Thunder Power, the two Dragon Power, each with its own characteristics of yin and yang, began to merge, Entanglement, and compress!
This was an extremely meticulous and mentally taxing process. Yu Yuanchen was completely focused, using his powerful Spiritual Power to precisely control every bit of power. With the Thunder God Seal and Soul Core as the core, he continuously injected the filtered primordial Dragon Power, and then used the Thunder Power to refine, fuse, and compress it!
Time quietly passed at the bottom of the spring. After an unknown amount of time, in front of Yu Yuanchen's dragon head, a ball of light, about the size of a fist, with a deep Purple-Gold, countless naturally formed, intricate runes interwoven with lightning and dragon patterns on its surface, and seemingly containing a miniature Thunder Dragon swimming and roaring inside, slowly condensed into shape!
The prototype of the God-Bestowed Soul Ring is complete!
This nascent Soul Ring was formed using the primordial Dragon Power of the two great God King as its foundation, the Thunder Divine Power as its guide, and the Thunder God magic as its condensation. Its quality and potential far surpass those of ordinary Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring!
However, just as the nascent Soul Ring successfully condensed, a sudden change occurred!
The two illusory remnants of the Dragon King Remnant Soul, which had been relatively calm, seemed to sense something and suddenly became restless! They increased their speed of circling the dragon bone, emitting a low Dragon Roar with dissatisfaction and warning. Their cold and burning gazes were once again locked on Yu Yuanchen. Although they did not attack directly, their strong sense of repulsion surged up again!
They seemed to have finally discovered that this "kind" was secretly drawing power from the dragon bones they were protecting!
Yu Yuanchen was startled and immediately stopped absorbing Dragon Power. He reached out with his Dragon Claw claw and firmly grasped the nascent Golden Soul Ring. At the same time, without hesitation, he immediately withdrew the aura of the True Dragon Nine Crowns, deactivated the Dragon Soul Awakening state, and with a turn of his massive Dragon Body, he sped towards the surface of the spring at top speed!
He could feel the anger of the two Dragon Soul Phantom behind him rapidly building, and the Ice-Fire Divine Power began to fluctuate violently. If he didn't leave now, he might not be able to escape!
"Plop!"
Water splashed everywhere as Yu Yuanchen's figure shot out of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well Yu Yuanchen Spring like an arrow, landing steadily on the shore. His breathing was slightly rapid, but his eyes were filled with excitement and joy.
"Brother Yuanchen!" Ye Zhilan, who had been anxiously waiting, immediately rushed over. Seeing that he was unharmed, she breathed a sigh of relief. Her gaze was then drawn to the Purple-Gold emanating a chilling energy in his Dragon Claw. "This is..."
"It's done!" Yu Yuanchen deactivated his Martial Soul Avatar, reverting to human form. He held the nascent Soul Ring, its light restrained yet containing terrifying energy, in his palm, a smile playing on his lips. "My Ninth Soul Ring!"
He glanced back at the spring water, which was gradually returning to calm, a mixture of lingering fear and anticipation in his heart. "Though those two Dragon King Remnant Soul lack intelligence, their instincts remain. This theft of Dragon Power has likely alerted them. However, it's fortunate that they lack intelligence; perhaps after some time, they will forget my presence... At that time, perhaps I can try again."
After all, the divine dragon power at the bottom of that spring was an inexhaustible treasure for him now! You must know that the so-called immortal herbs only grew by absorbing a portion of the divine power dissipated by the two dragon kings.
