Two hours later
On the damp soil, Bibi Dong sat cross-legged, having successfully absorbed the Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring into her body and unleashed her sixth Soul Skill, Blood Soul Spider Thorn.
Her right arm transformed into a blood-red spider limb, wreathed in dark red energy. It was razor-sharp and devastatingly powerful.
When it struck a target, it could also inject a red poison that was colorless and odorless.
In just a moment, the poison could kill its victim.
"Now that you've finished absorbing it, come with me. Anything could happen in Sunset Forest."
Ye Guyue took Bibi Dong's hand and hurried out of Sunset Forest.
Bibi Dong followed behind, gazing at Ye Guyue's back in thought.
I need to figure out where I can find an opportunity to make my move.
After leaving Sunset Forest, Bibi Dong insisted on going to Heaven Dou City for a stroll and to buy some food she liked.
Ye Guyue agreed. They were on their honeymoon, after all. It didn't matter where they went.
If they returned to Spirit Hall so soon, the Seven Elders would inevitably make snide remarks.
Heaven Dou City was practically packed shoulder to shoulder.
"I want candied hawthorns."
Bibi Dong excitedly pointed at an old man selling skewers of candied hawthorns.
"Don't rush. I'll buy you some."
Ye Guyue led Bibi Dong over to the old man and bought a skewer.
"Miss, here are your candied hawthorns," the old man said with a smile.
Ye Guyue was just about to explain when Bibi Dong paid. "Thank you, sir."
Bibi Dong immediately pulled Ye Guyue away.
Ye Guyue had already planned to put an end to the whole charade, but Bibi Dong held out the candied hawthorns to him. "Come on, Senior Sister, try one?"
"I don't want any. If you like them, eat them yourself." Ye Guyue turned his head away, unwilling to try one.
"Have one, Senior Sister. They're delicious and sweet." Without waiting for an answer, Bibi Dong pressed the candied hawthorns to Ye Guyue's lips, acting coy.
Ye Guyue really wanted to refuse, but he still couldn't resist Bibi Dong and bit off a candied hawthorn.
"You win. Can we go now? We've been shopping for ages."
"No rush. Let's buy something for the Seven Elders, too. We're on our honeymoon, after all. I'm sure they don't want us to go back so soon, either."
Bibi Dong made a very convincing argument.
Ye Guyue had no choice but to agree.
The two of them continued shopping in Heaven Dou City until nightfall.
Ye Guyue and Bibi Dong went to an inn and rented a room to rest in. Bibi Dong went into the bathroom first.
"Senior Sister, would you like to join me?"
Ye Guyue rolled his eyes at Bibi Dong's invitation.
"Senior Sister really is a blockhead," Bibi Dong said, sounding a little disappointed. There would be plenty of other chances, anyway.
Bibi Dong went into the bathroom to bathe.
Ye Guyue had intended to take the opportunity to rest, but a voice of immense authority suddenly rang out in his mind.
"You possess the Light Sacred Dragon Martial Soul. Would you like to accept my inheritance?"
Before Ye Guyue could answer, his consciousness was instantly pulled into a strange space.
After a dizzying whirl, he opened his eyes to find himself in a pure white expanse. Water flowed beneath his feet, and when he looked down, he could clearly see his reflection.
Suddenly, golden energy gathered around him and began to condense before his eyes, gradually taking shape as a figure.
Looking closely, he saw a man with long, flowing hair, dressed in white and gold robes, his features stern.
When the man opened his eyes, brilliant light shimmered in his pupils.
"Greetings, Ye Guyue. No, I should call you the future Holy Dragon God." The Holy Dragon God corrected himself, his expression as calm as still water.
"Me? The Holy Dragon God? What kind of existence are you in the Divine Realm?" Ye Guyue asked curiously.
"An existence?"
The Holy Dragon God smiled faintly. "You could say I stand above the members of the God Realm Committee. I've been asleep in the Divine Realm, waiting for someone who can inherit my divine position. Otherwise, I would have been roaming the cosmos long ago."
"Ever since you awakened your Martial Soul, I've watched everything you've gone through over the years. Ye Guyue, you're strong-willed and exceptionally gifted, so I've been waiting for you."
Fortunately, he had only waited twenty years. Now he could finally bestow his divine inheritance.
Ye Guyue was dazed. The Holy Dragon God stood above the members of the God Realm Committee.
"I thought I'd have to seek out a divine inheritance myself. I never imagined the Holy Dragon God would choose me."
Ye Guyue felt both honored and overwhelmed.
He had been wondering where he could find a divine inheritance.
Now that problem had been perfectly resolved.
"When the time is right, you'll be chosen."
"Enough talk. I'll begin your God Trial now."
As the Holy Dragon God spoke, he made a gesture. When he raised his right hand, a golden five-clawed dragon flew out from his body and shot straight into the space between Ye Guyue's brows.
This strange power pushed Ye Guyue's Soul Power to level eighty, making him a Soul Douluo.
"Take the time to understand this power. You'll also receive a divine weapon, the Holy Emperor Dragon Spear. Its quality will let you fight Titled Douluo across a realm."
As the Holy Dragon God spoke, Ye Guyue focused on comprehending the power.
The Holy Dragon God watched Ye Guyue. Suddenly, he seemed to notice something, and the corners of his mouth lifted slightly. He didn't expose the two lingering souls in Ye Guyue's sea of consciousness.
At that moment, in the sea of consciousness, the Ice Dragon King and Fire Dragon King, who had been sleeping, were nourished by a warm current. Their souls awoke at once.
"What's going on? This power is so strong."
The Ice Dragon King and Fire Dragon King stared in disbelief. But when they saw the golden figure standing before Ye Guyue, their hearts shuddered.
"A deity? Ye Guyue actually received a divine inheritance."
The Ice Dragon King and Fire Dragon King exchanged a glance, both stunned. Then they immediately began refining the power that was nourishing their bodies.
This power came from a deity. It was unlike any other kind of power, and for them, it was a great tonic. Perhaps this time, they could recover considerably.
A moment later.
Ye Guyue opened his eyes and thanked the Holy Dragon God.
"Think nothing of it."
As soon as the words fell, a golden dragon suddenly plummeted from the sky, falling straight toward the ground.
Splash.
The golden dragon's apparition transformed into a spear. Its entire length gleamed with a golden sheen, and its shaft was carved with the pattern of a five-clawed golden dragon. The spearhead was razor-sharp, and waves of Dragon Might radiated from it.
"The Holy Emperor Dragon Spear, my weapon. It's yours."
"It has been with me for a long time. After I became a god, I left it in a storage space and never used it. Now, let's see whether you can wield it."
Ye Guyue didn't hesitate. He stepped forward, gripped the Holy Emperor Dragon Spear, and channeled the Soul Power in his body as he tried to lift it upward. Yet it didn't budge in the slightest. He hadn't managed to pull it up at all.
"I refuse to believe I can't wield you."
Martial Soul Possession. Golden scales covered his body, and the Ice and Fire Dragon God Wings spread wide.
The Holy Emperor Dragon Spear, which hadn't budged before, began to shake violently.
