Two hours later.
Sitting cross-legged on the damp earth, Bibi Dong had successfully absorbed the ten-thousand-year spirit ring into her body and unleashed her sixth spirit ability: Blood Soul Spider Thorn.
Her right arm transformed into a blood-red spider limb, wreathed in dark red energy, sharp beyond measure and possessing astonishing destructive power.
Upon striking a target, it could inject a colorless, odorless red venom.
It would take only a moment for the victim to be poisoned to death.
"Absorption complete. Let's go; the Sunset Forest is prone to unexpected changes."
Ye Guyue took Bibi Dong's hand and walked quickly out of the Sunset Forest.
Bibi Dong followed behind, staring at Ye Guyue's back, lost in thought.
I must carefully consider where I might find an opportunity to strike.
Leaving the Sunset Forest, Bibi Dong insisted on visiting Heaven Dou City to stroll around and buy some snacks she liked.
Ye Guyue agreed; after all, this was their honeymoon, and it made no difference where they went.
Returning to Martial Soul Hall so soon would inevitably invite gossip from the seven elders.
Upon arriving in Heaven Dou City, the streets were packed with people.
"I want to eat candied haws."
Bibi Dong pointed excitedly at the old man selling skewers of candied haws.
"Don't rush, I'll buy them for you."
Ye Guyue led Bibi Dong to the old man and ordered a skewer.
"Here you go, miss," the old man said with a smile.
Just as Ye Guyue was about to clarify, Bibi Dong paid the money. "Thank you, sir."
Bibi Dong immediately pulled Ye Guyue away.
Ye Guyue had intended to end the outing there, but Bibi Dong held the candied haws out to her. "Come on, Senior Sister, want a taste?"
"No, eat them yourself if you like them." Ye Guyue turned her head away, not wanting any.
"Just have one, Senior Sister, they're delicious and sweet." Bibi Dong, ignoring any protest, pushed the skewer right to Ye Guyue's lips while acting coquettishly.
Ye Guyue wanted to refuse, but she couldn't resist Bibi Dong and ended up biting off a piece.
"I give up. Can we go now? We've been walking for ages."
"No rush. Let's buy something for the seven elders too. Since we're on our honeymoon, I'm sure they wouldn't want us to return so soon."
Bibi Dong's logic sounded impeccable.
Ye Guyue had no choice but to agree.
The two wandered through Heaven Dou City until nightfall.
Ye Guyue and Bibi Dong arrived at an inn and rented a room to rest, and Bibi Dong was the first to enter the bathroom.
"Senior Sister, don't you want to join me?"
Facing Bibi Dong's invitation, Ye Guyue rolled her eyes.
"Senior Sister really is as dense as a block of wood." Bibi Dong felt a hint of regret, though she knew there would be plenty of opportunities later.
Bibi Dong entered the bathroom to bathe.
Ye Guyue had intended to use this time to rest, but suddenly, an extremely majestic voice echoed in her mind.
"You possess the Radiant Holy Dragon martial soul. Are you willing to accept my inheritance?"
Before Ye Guyue could answer, her consciousness was instantly pulled into a strange space.
After a dizzying sensation, she opened her eyes to find herself in a purely white void. She heard the sound of flowing water beneath her feet and, looking down, could clearly see her own reflection.
Suddenly, golden energy gathered in the surroundings, coalescing before her eyes into a figure.
Looking closely, the man had long, flowing hair, wore white-gold robes, and possessed a cold, stern face.
When he opened his eyes, a brilliant radiance flickered within 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 water.
"Me? Holy Dragon God, what kind of existence are you in the God Realm?" Ye Guyue asked curiously.
"Existence, you ask?"
The Holy Dragon God smiled faintly. "One could say I stand above those in the God Realm Committee. I have been slumbering in the God Realm, waiting for someone capable of inheriting my divine position; otherwise, This Seat would have long since wandered the cosmos."
"From the moment you awakened your martial soul, I have watched your experiences over the years. Ye Guyue, your temperament is resilient and your talent is extraordinary, which is why I have been waiting for you."
Fortunately, the wait had only been twenty years, and now he could finally bestow his divine inheritance.
Ye Guyue felt a wave of dizziness; the Holy Dragon God stood above those in the God Realm Committee.
"I had thought I would need to search for a divine inheritance myself. I never expected to be chosen by the Holy Dragon God himself."
Ye Guyue felt a sense of being overwhelmed by the unexpected honor.
He had been wondering where to resolve the issue of a deity.
Now, that problem had been perfectly solved.
"When the time is right, you will naturally be chosen."
"Without further ado, I shall bestow upon you my divine trial."
As Holy Dragon God spoke, he made a gesture with his hand. Following the lift of his right hand, a golden five-clawed dragon flew out from his body and dove directly into the center of Ye Guyue's brow.
This peculiar power caused Ye Guyue's soul power to break through to the eightieth level, the Spirit Douluo realm.
"Comprehend this power well. I will also gift you a divine weapon, the Holy Emperor Dragon Spear. Its quality will allow you to fight Titled Douluo across realms."
As Holy Dragon God spoke, Ye Guyue began his comprehension.
Holy Dragon God observed Ye Guyue, and suddenly, as if he had discovered something, the corners of his mouth curled upward slightly. He did not expose the two remnant souls within the sea of consciousness.
At this moment, within the sea of consciousness, the Ice Dragon King and Fire Dragon King, who had originally been slumbering, were nourished by a warm current and awakened instantly.
"What is happening? This power is so strong."
The Ice Dragon King and Fire Dragon King were filled with disbelief, but when they saw a golden figure standing before Ye Guyue, their minds were shaken.
"A deity? Ye Guyue has actually obtained a divine inheritance."
The Ice Dragon King and Fire Dragon King exchanged glances, both shocked beyond measure, but they immediately began to accelerate the refinement of the power nourishing their bodies.
This power came from a deity and was unlike any other; to them, it was a potent tonic. Perhaps this time, they could recover quite a bit in one fell swoop.
A moment later.
Ye Guyue opened his eyes and thanked Holy Dragon God.
"No need for formalities."
As the words fell, a golden giant dragon suddenly descended from the sky, plummeting straight toward the ground.
Thud.
The phantom of the golden giant dragon transformed into a long spear. The entire body was gilded, engraved with the dragon patterns of a five-clawed golden dragon. The spear tip was incomparably sharp, radiating waves of dragon might.
"The Holy Emperor Dragon Spear, This Seat's weapon, is now yours."
"It has been with This Seat for a long time. Ever since I became a god, it has been kept in my space, unused. Today, I shall see if you are capable of wielding it."
Ye Guyue did not stand on ceremony. He stepped forward, gripped the Holy Emperor Dragon Spear, and began to circulate the soul power within his body, attempting to pull it upward. However, it remained as motionless as a mountain, showing no signs of being budged.
"I refuse to believe I cannot master you."
Martial Soul Possession! Golden scales covered his entire body, and the Ice and Fire Dragon God Wings unfurled.
The previously immovable Holy Emperor Dragon Spear began to shake violently.
