Dragon Soul Becomes a Soul Spirit
"Since the conditions have been met, then Senior Water Dragon King, I will take your body with me."
"Yes, you can use my dragon body as you please. By the way, I just checked, and the Dragon Core seems to be gone. I hope you can understand that."
"The Dragon Core is gone?"
"It's not that it's gone, but rather that it's omnipresent. The main energy source of this Microcosm is my and the Fire Dragon King's Dragon Core."
This was somewhat beyond Chen Yuan's expectations. Dragon Core is the essence of a dragon after it dies, Mu En has a White Dragon Core, although it is just the most ordinary White Dragon Core.
Huo Yuhao was able to complete the Yin-Yang Complementary Three Soul Cores largely because the Dragon Core greatly enhanced his physical attributes, giving him the physique of a dragon.
Dragon Core is a special energy body that gradually condenses after a dragon reaches adulthood. It contains the dragon's bloodline and origin, and is a treasure that dragons use to temper their spiritual consciousness.
The importance of Dragon Core to the Dragon Clan is no less than that of Soul Core to humans today.
Such a precious item is known to be possessed by no one in the Soul Master World other than Mu En Dragon Core.
Over countless years, the Water Dragon King's divine power had dissipated, leaving only her essence blood and top-grade refining materials within her dragon body. After the Water Dragon King's death, her original divine power dissipated, and her Dragon Core naturally dissipated and merged into this Microcosm.
The Fire Dragon King was in the same situation as the Water Dragon King; his Dragon Core had dissipated, leaving only his body and Dragon Soul.
No wonder the Heaven and Earth Origin Power here is so rich and pure; it turns out it took the dragon Dragon Core of two dragon kings at the God-King Level.
It's not that there's no way to re-condense the Dragon Core. As long as the Heaven and Earth Origin Power of this Microcosm is gathered again, it's definitely not something an ordinary person can do.
"In that case, seniors, your Dragon Core have already merged into this Microcosm. If I take your bodies away, will the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well above be affected?"
"No, with the energy from our Dragon Core sustaining it, that treasure basin you mentioned earlier, given the energy concentration of this Microcosm, can last for at least 100,000 years, or even longer."
"That's good. So what if the Dragon Core is gone? I've already gained quite a bit, there's no need to dwell on two things that have long since vanished."
It would be a lie to say I wasn't disappointed, but it's okay. If there's nothing here at the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, then I'll go check out the Dragon Valley Minor World. Although the dragons there are all lying dead in the wilderness, the probability of finding Dragon Core is even lower.
Even if there are no Dragon Core over there, there are at least several Divine Artifact waiting for Chen Yuan to take.
Chen Yuan looked at the dragon corpse at his feet and felt a headache coming on.
He had anticipated that the corpses of the two Dragon Kings would be enormous, but he never imagined they would be this enormous—so enormous that no Storage Soul Tool in the world could contain them.
Electrolux noticed Chen Yuan's predicament. Countless golden chains pulled the Water Dragon King's massive body, and under Chen Yuan's astonished gaze, Electrolux used his Spiritual Power to manipulate the dragon corpse, dragging it towards the Fire Dragon King.
Seeing Electrolux's immense power, Chen Yuan couldn't help but feel a pang of emotion. Spending all his savings accumulated over several years to buy the Spirit-Devouring Carving Knife was truly the best decision he had ever made in his life.
With Electrolux's help, they embarked on their journey back to the remains of the Fire Dragon King.
If he had known the distance between the two dragon king corpses was so great, he should have had Electrolux take action then; that way, he wouldn't have had to fly over again.
Fortunately, this time Chen Yuan roughly knew the distance between the two, so he wasn't wandering aimlessly.
When Chen Yuan dragged the Water Dragon King's corpse next to the Fire Dragon King's corpse, he finally understood just how big the Fire Dragon King's body was.
Both being dragon kings and god kings, the Fire Dragon King's body was significantly larger than that of the Water Dragon King.
"Old Yi, shall we begin once your Divine Sense has recovered somewhat?"
Even Chen Yuan felt a pang of conscience after being exploited by Electrolux for so long.
Dragging such a massive dragon corpse took a considerable toll on Electrolux's energy, and Chen Yuan could clearly sense Electrolux's weakness.
"Alright, you probably won't find Soul Ring more suitable for you than the Fire Dragon King. How about trying Soul Spirit?"
"Soul Spirit? Old Yi, haven't you finished your research yet?"
With Electrolux's abilities, completing the Soul Spirit Method from the original story, which involved completely exploiting Soul Beast, would be a simple matter, requiring almost no effort. After all, that was something Electrolux casually researched before his death.
However, the Soul Spirit Method that Chen Yuan wanted was not like that, so Electrolux spent a lot of time researching it.
The fact that Chen Yuan was suddenly asked if he wanted to try using the Soul Spirit was somewhat unexpected for Chen Yuan.
Actually, Chen Yuan had originally planned to first turn the Fire Dragon King into Wisdom Soul Ring, and then transform it into Soul Spirit, so that he could provide Soul Ring for the two empty slots that followed.
With his seventh Soul Ring already being God Level Soul Ring like the Fire Dragon King, Chen Yuan's ambition and vision would naturally grow accordingly, and he would definitely want his subsequent Soul Ring to be similar to his seventh Soul Ring.
The best option, of course, is to transform the Fire Dragon King into Soul Spirit and extract all its value.
"The difficulty of the research lies in the rules of this world. In this world, Soul Ring only appear after Soul Beast dies. If it were just about allowing Soul Beast to retain their intelligence after death, I would have already created that kind of Soul Spirit."
"But what you want is a special method that won't harm the Soul Beast's life and can still provide the Soul Master with Soul Ring. It's like asking me to deceive the rules of this world, so naturally it will take much more effort."
"That kind of Soul Spirit Method will probably still need some time."
"But the situation is different now--"
Electrolux's gaze swept over the Fire Dragon King's corpse and the Dragon Soul floating there.
"The Fire Dragon King is long dead. All I need to do is to extract his remaining energy and Dragon Soul, create Soul Ring according to the rules of this world, and perform Soul Spirit Ritual."
"At most, the process will be a little more complicated, but there shouldn't be any major problems."
"Furthermore, you will inevitably be promoting the Soul Spirit system in the future. If you don't have a single Soul Spirit on you, how can you convince Soul Beast and humans to believe in Soul Spirit Method?"
"And this is already your seventh Soul Ring. Are you planning to find a Soul Beast as your Soul Spirit for your Eighth Soul Ring? If so, the quality of the Soul Beast you find will definitely not be as suitable as the Fire Dragon King, and it won't be as cooperative."
Yes, the Fire Dragon King is already dead, so we can just use the equal version of the Soul Spirit Method. As for the one Chen Yuan requested, let Electrolux continue his research until it's developed and released later.
As a last resort, Chen Yuan would never give up on the Soul Spirit Method. But if Chen Yuan, the future promoter of Soul Spirit in the eyes of the world, didn't possess a single Soul Spirit, how could he convince others to accept Soul Spirit?
While force can be used to conquer, the effect is far less than presenting the benefits of the Soul Spirit to the world.
Only by presenting the benefits of Soul Spirit to everyone can the promotion of Soul Spirit be accelerated and more Power of Faith be provided.
Becoming a god through faith is Chen Yuan's last resort, and he absolutely cannot afford to have even the slightest problem with it.
And what Electrolux said is also true; the Fire Dragon King is indeed the most suitable for Chen Yuan, without exception.
After pondering for a while, Chen Yuan felt there was no problem and turned to the Fire Dragon King to ask for his opinion.
Whether in the original story or now, the initial Soul Spirit Method required the animal party to be completely willing; otherwise, the Soul Spirit Ritual could not be completed.
Unfortunately, some brilliant person later invented Unequal Soul Spirit Contract, which led to Soul Spirit becoming the driving force behind the destruction of Soul Beast.
"Senior Fire Dragon King, what do you think? The Soul Spirit Ritual, this is something Old Yi has just researched, and it can bring you beasts a completely new way out."
"Perhaps we can bypass the curse set by the Dragon God and allow beasts to regain God Level strength."
"Either way, as I've said before, all I care about is settling scores with the light and the darkness; I don't care about anything else."
"It can also contribute to the future of the Beast Clan, so why should I, the king, disagree?"
"Then I'll trouble Old Yi. Once you've recovered somewhat, please perform the Soul Spirit Ritual for me and Senior Fire Dragon King."
"Well, that's good. However, after attacking so many times, I need some time to recover. During this time, you can absorb the Fire Dragon King's right arm bone. I think there's no Soul Bone in the world more suitable for your right arm than this one."
Electrolux touched the Fire Dragon King's corpse with the end of his staff, and a spatial portal appeared beside Electrolux. He reached inside, and a fiery red dragon claw appeared in his hand.
Upon receiving the God Level Fire Dragon King's Right Arm Bone, Chen Yuan was somewhat surprised. He hadn't expected that the Fire Dragon King's remains, influenced by the rules of the Douluo Continent, would actually give birth to Soul Bone.
The Fire Dragon King was extremely surprised. When did this thing appear inside his body? How come he didn't know that such things were born after the Dragon Clan died?
Could this be a special rule of this planet? Just like that circle?
The right arm bone before me possessed a restrained divine aura, appearing just like any other bone, seemingly ordinary but with a slightly different shape—a unique bone indeed.
Only by probing one 'Soul Power into this dragon bone can one sense the vast and boundless energy levels within, as immense as the sea and as boundless as the stars. It's just a pity that the Fire Dragon King's divine power was almost entirely gone with the dissipation of the Dragon Core core.
This dragon bone has been here for who knows how many years; its inherent energy, like the Dragon Core, has long since dissipated completely.
Even so, the fire attribute quality within this dragon bone is probably more concentrated than that of Soul Beast on the entire continent and the entire Douluo Planet combined.
Looking at the Water Dragon King's corpse on the other side, if the Fire Dragon King's corpse could produce an absorbable right arm bone, then what about the Water Dragon King's?
It's impossible that the Fire Dragon King can be summoned but the Water Dragon King can't, right?
Understanding Chen Yuan's idea, and following the same method, Electrolux took out a piece of the left arm bone from the Water Dragon King's body, which was almost the same as the Fire Dragon King's divine bone except for its color.
Its white color, like jade, seemed completely out of place with Chen Yuan's attributes. However, the benefits that this dragon bone could bring to Chen Yuan far surpassed those of any other Soul Bone in the world, making it an absolutely worthwhile left arm bone to absorb.
Suppressing the urge to absorb both dragon bones at once, Chen Yuan considered the configuration within the Dragon Valley Minor World.
There is at least one piece of the Mountain Dragon King's Torso Bone over there, but as for the Light Dragon King, it is unknown which part of his body he was born from.
If the Light Dragon King also produces left arm bones, then Chen Yuan's current fusion with the Water Dragon King's left arm bone would undoubtedly be a huge loss.
After all, given the same quality, the Light Dragon King is definitely more suitable for Chen Yuan than the Water Dragon King.
To prevent this from happening, Chen Yuan's best option is to absorb only the Fire Dragon King's Right Arm Bone for now. As for the Water Dragon King's Left Arm Bone, he should wait until it is determined what part of the body the Light Dragon King in the Dragon Valley Minor World produces.
Chen Yuan immediately put the Water Dragon King's Left Arm Bone, which was so important, into his Battle Dragon Machine.
Besides the Water Dragon King's Left Arm Bone, there's also the Snow Empress's essence, all of which are Chen Yuan's most precious possessions.
As for the Ink Jade Divine Bamboo and the Aromatic Silk Beauty, although they are both Immortal Herb, they bring more value to Chen Yuan now than directly benefit him. Therefore, their importance is lower than that of the Snow Empress's Origin and the Water Dragon King's Left Arm Bone.
After seeing Chen Yuan put away the Water Dragon King's Soul Bone, Electrolux returned to Chen Yuan's Sea of Consciousness to recuperate.
It will take Chen Yuan some time to absorb the Fire Dragon King's Right Arm Bone, which will give Electrolux time to recover some of his energy.
With the help of the Heart of Life and Chen Yuan's current power as Son of Nature, Electrolux can adjust his condition to a relatively good state even in just one or two days.
The Ice and Fire Dragon Kings's body definitely can't be taken out directly; leaving it here will cause some trouble when it's needed later.
The best solution would be to refine the two dragon king corpses on the spot. Even if they aren't turned into Divine Artifact, at least their essence should be extracted.
This is a huge undertaking. If Electrolux doesn't recover properly, the Divine Sense he has painstakingly restored will likely fall back into a state where it could dissipate at any moment.
When the Fire Dragon King's Right Arm Bone was placed against his own right arm, the Golden Lion Mastiff Right Palm Bone instantly emitted a repulsive force.
In ancient times, the Golden Lion Mastiff was wiped out by the Dragon Clan and other races. How could the Golden Lion Mastiff Right Palm Bone easily accept the Fire Dragon King's Right Arm Bone, given this deep-seated hatred for its genocide?
"Golden Lion Mastiff? After the massacres of that time, are there still any of these Beast Clan left?"
The Fire Dragon King and the Water Dragon King looked at Chen Yuan's right palm with great interest, clearly sensing the Golden Lion Mastiff bloodline contained within it.
That feeling of defying heaven and earth, of taking on anyone you don't like—you can't be wrong about it.
"No, the bloodline is a bit diluted. What a pity, I thought I'd be able to see one of those outrageous beasts."
"Yes, back then, our lord killed many beasts that posed a threat to the Dragon Clan, and this Golden Lion Mastiff was among the best."
The Fire Dragon King and the Water Dragon King, now together, have a feeling of old friends reuniting, completely unlike their days when they used to argue all the time.
Seeing that the Golden Lion Mastiff Right Palm Bone was somewhat restless, Chen Yuan mobilized his Spiritual Power and attacked the remaining Golden Lion Mastiff soul within the Golden Lion Mastiff Right Palm Bone.
Chen Yuan is the true master of this body; the Golden Lion Mastiff Right Palm Bone is merely a remnant soul. It dares to obstruct Chen Yuan's absorption of the Fire Dragon King's Soul Bone to enhance itself?
Chen Yuan will now let it know who the true owner of this body is!
Buzz!
A gust of air swept through, causing Chen Yuan's clothes to flutter loudly.
"Waaah!"
Chen Yuan's Spiritual Power struck the remnant soul of the Golden Lion Mastiff like a heavy hammer. It let out a whimper and then trembled as it hid in the corner of the Soul Bone.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Chen Yuan channeled his Soul Power into the Fire Dragon King's Right Arm Bone. Instantly, both his body and the Fire Dragon King's Right Arm Bone emitted a dazzling red light.
As the Fire Dragon King's Right Arm Bone entered Chen Yuan's body, a huge phantom of the Fire Dragon King rose behind Chen Yuan.
The bone in his right arm continuously reshaped Chen Yuan's body, allowing his already formidable physique to leap forward once again.
At the same time, Chen Yuan's martial soul manifested automatically, and six Soul Ring appeared one after another, floating around Chen Yuan.
Suddenly, a ball of golden flame, completely different from the Yang Flame that Chen Yuan possessed, rose up. That flame was pure gold, seemingly a golden fluid.
Crimson Gold Mysterious Flame!
The special flame inherited from the bloodline of the Fire Dragon King is said to be able to burn nothing in the world.
Seeing the flames appear, the Fire Dragon King's eyes were filled with nostalgia. This was one of his signature moves, and he never expected that his innate ability as the Fire Dragon King would still exist on a bone that had almost no energy left.
Seeing the flames, the Fire Dragon King was reminded of his own spirited and vigorous self when he was alive.
It seems his Crimson Gold Mysterious Flame is about to unleash its power once more in this world.
The Fire Dragon King was secretly pleased; he was finding Chen Yuan increasingly pleasing to the eye.
Before the Fire Dragon King for long, the Crimson Gold Mysterious Flame was completely swallowed by Chen Yuan's Yang Flame, leaving not even a Sisi of Core Flame behind.
Seemingly not satisfied with consuming the Crimson Gold Mysterious Flame, the Yang Flame flowed along Chen Yuan's meridians into the Fire Dragon King's Right Arm Bone, uprooting the Crimson Gold Mysterious Flame's power completely.
Chen Yuan had excellent compatibility with the Fire Dragon King's Soul Bone. Sisi was no pain during the fusion process, and he could clearly sense every moment his body became stronger.
When Chen Yuan opened his eyes, he saw the Fire Dragon King, who was only a few centimeters away from his eyes, looking at him with the eyes of someone looking at a monster.
"Chen Yuan! What is your background?! The flames within you could actually devour my Crimson Gold Mysterious Flame!"
"Uh, regarding that, senior, I'm not entirely sure either. Please forgive me if I've offended you."
"No! No! I'm just surprised!"
"Alright, let Electrolux begin. I can't wait to merge with you!"
Are you just itching to kill the Light Dragon King?
Electrolux reappeared, this time looking much better. It seemed that Chen Yuan had spent quite a bit of time absorbing the Fire Dragon King's Right Arm Bone.
"How is Old Yi?"
"Hmm, you've recovered quite a bit. Later, you and the Fire Dragon King should relax and not resist at all. This is also my first time performing a true Soul Spirit Ritual, so if you feel uncomfortable at all, tell me immediately."
"Um.
The Soul Spirit Ritual begins!
A golden light shot out from Electrolux, accurately striking the Fire Dragon King's Dragon Soul and turning its originally fiery red Dragon Soul into pure gold.
Electrolux raised his left hand, which had been lowered in silence, and grasped a scepter formed of golden light. He gently tapped the ground, and a huge golden six-pointed star array appeared. He then uttered a series of deep, long incantations.
Electrolux's voice was very clear, but neither Chen Yuan and the Fire Dragon King, nor the Water Dragon King watching from the sidelines, could understand Electrolux's words or incantation.
This is the language of the Holy Demon Continent, the culture of another world, which naturally cannot be understood by them.
A beam of light slowly descended from the staff and landed on Chen Yuan. The Fire Dragon King sensed that at this moment, some connection seemed to be forming between him and Chen Yuan.
If the Fire Dragon King wanted to, he could break free right now.
But how could the Fire Dragon King refuse? He couldn't wait for the ceremony to end.
Drawn by the force, the Fire Dragon King came to Chen Yuan's back. The Dragon Soul, which was originally illusory and only had a head left, began to grow wildly, slowly outlining the Fire Dragon King's enormous body.
During this process, Chen Yuan felt his Soul Power and Spiritual Power being continuously absorbed by the Fire Dragon King in order to repair the Fire Dragon King's Dragon Soul.
Even though the Heaven and Earth Origin Power here could quickly replenish Chen Yuan's Soul Power, Chen Yuan still felt extremely strained.
Finally, the Soul Power and Spiritual Power within Chen Yuan's body were absorbed by the Fire Dragon King at an astonishing speed. Even the excess medicinal power contained within his body and the remaining Heaven and Earth Origin Power from the Ten Thousand Year Mysterious Ice Marrow were swallowed up by the Fire Dragon King like a whale.
Unfortunately, the Fire Dragon King was too badly damaged and had been dead for too long, so it's normal for it to have a high energy requirement. Fortunately, the result was gratifying.
First the neck, then the body, and finally the limbs, wings, and tail. However, after merging with Chen Yuan, the Fire Dragon King's body seemed to become less robust and instead more slender, and its limbs became a little shorter.
100 meters -- 1000 meters -- and finally 10,000 meters!
"Roar!"
The enormous Fire Dragon King roared to the sky, announcing its rebirth. Then it slowly lowered its body, gradually shrinking until it returned to its original size of about several tens of meters, quietly sitting behind Chen Yuan.
While continuously absorbing Chen Yuan's Soul Power and Spiritual Power to repair itself, a huge golden halo, at least three or four times larger than a normal Soul Ring, peeled off from the Fire Dragon King's body and landed steadily on Chen Yuan.
The moment the Golden Soul Ring was placed on Chen Yuan, Chen Yuan level 70 bottleneck was broken!
