Earth Dragon Space (Seeking Collection, Seeking Follow-up Reads)

"Huff—huff—huff!"

Dugu Yuan clutched his heart, which felt as if it were about to leap out of his chest, and pointed a finger at Dugu Bo and Yu Tianshuo, his voice dripping with sorrow.

"How could you two do this? I'll let it slide for my old man, but Junior Brother! Why are you so practiced at running off on your own?"

Dugu Bo looked at his foolish son and replied with a tone of disdain.

"If you're weak, just practice more. Prepare for extra training when we get back."

"No--!"

Dugu Yuan's unwilling roar echoed throughout the Tianling Mountain Range, startling the soul beasts within the mountains and sending them fleeing.

Once Dugu Yuan had finished venting, Dugu Bo looked at Yu Tianshuo and asked.

"Well? Can you sense it?"

Yu Tianshuo kept his eyes closed and replied.

"Give me a moment."

With that, he continued to question the Ice Dragon King within his sea of consciousness.

"What do you mean the Earth Dragon King is in a small world and you can't sense him for the time being?"

The Ice Dragon King felt somewhat awkward, as it was he who had suggested the Earth Dragon King was here.

Now that they had arrived, the Earth Dragon King was nowhere to be found.

However, wanting to maintain the dignity of a Dragon King, he coughed twice and said in a deep voice.

"Ahem, he likely didn't want to be disturbed while on the verge of death, so he sealed the world portal after creating the small world."

Upon hearing this, Yu Tianshuo's form gradually solidified within the sea of consciousness, clearly intending to give the Ice Dragon King a hard time.

Seeing this, the Ice Dragon King flinched and hurriedly added.

"Wait! Wait! Don't be so hasty! I can sense a successor to the Earth Dragon King's bloodline. I'll lead the way in a moment, just hurry back—you're terrifying in this state!"

Seeing that the Ice Dragon King had offered a solution, Yu Tianshuo dispersed his form in the sea of consciousness, his awareness returning to his physical body.

Opening his eyes, Yu Tianshuo released his second soul skill: Ice and Fire Twin Dragon Transformation.

However, this time he only manifested the blue avatar.

Yet, what truly left Dugu Bo and Dugu Yuan stunned was that the avatar appearing before them bore no resemblance to Yu Tianshuo whatsoever!

The avatar was tall and slender, standing a full eight feet high. A cascade of long hair, shimmering like sapphires, fell over his broad shoulders, complementing his deep blue eyes and exuding an aura that was both majestic and terrifying.

The vertical pupils, in particular, seemed capable of peering through everything, revealing a sense of formidable authority that made one instinctively feel awe.

As Dugu Bo and Dugu Yuan looked into those eyes, they felt an invisible pressure wash over them, as if the entire world had become insignificant under that gaze.

Not only that, but Dugu Bo and Dugu Yuan could also feel an undisguised Dragon Might radiating from the avatar.

This Dragon Might surged forth like a raging tide, continuously pouring out from the avatar and tightly enveloping them.

Just as the atmosphere turned rigid, Yu Tianshuo jumped up and slapped the Ice Dragon King on the head, saying impatiently.

"Stop standing there. I didn't bring you out to scare my master and senior brother. Hurry up and lead the way."

The Ice Dragon King remained silent, merely staring at his own hands in ecstasy.

He looked at Yu Tianshuo and pointed a finger at him.

"From now on, you call me Boss Ice Dragon! I have a physical body now, don't think I'll be afraid of..."

Zero-frame start!

Yu Tianshuo landed a Weakness Strike right on the Ice Dragon King!

It was super effective!

Watching the idiot clutching his crotch in pain, Yu Tianshuo let out a long sigh.

Although he had guessed the guy would cause trouble, he truly hadn't expected him to drop the act so quickly.

The first thing he did upon coming out was to get in his face and try to snatch the position of boss.

There was no help for it; he would have to give him another "moral education" lesson.

"Boss Ice Dragon, is it?"

A heavy, powerful kick landed right between the Ice Dragon King's legs.

"Is this what I brought you out for?"

With a "pop," Yu Tianshuo's avatar vanished before his eyes.

Seeing this, Yu Tianshuo's face darkened again. He told his stunned master and senior brother to wait for him, then entered his sea of consciousness to continue the Ice Dragon King's remedial lessons.

Just as the father and son were still frozen in shock by Yu Tianshuo's actions, a powerful suction force suddenly appeared.

In an instant, the three of them vanished from where they stood.

By the time the father and son regained their senses, they were already standing before a massive skeleton.

Dugu Bo's expression was heavy. After activating Martial Soul Possession, he shielded Dugu Yuan and Yu Tianshuo behind him, his eyes scanning the surroundings with gravity to guard against any potential danger.

Dugu Yuan also wore a heavy expression; he released his martial soul, remaining vigilant against any danger that might emerge from behind.

Yu Tianshuo's expression—no, wait, this guy was still busy tutoring the Ice Dragon King within his sea of consciousness!

He had no idea what was happening in the outside world, and the Fire Dragon King, who was supposed to be on guard, was too busy watching the show and looking for opportunities to sneak an attack!

Just as the atmosphere grew tense, a hoarse voice emanated from the skeletal remains, accompanied by a terrifying Dragon Might.

"The aura of Third Brother and Fourth Brother? Who are you people?"

With that, an incredibly terrifying pressure descended upon the three of them.

In an instant, Dugu Yuan was pinned to the ground by the Dragon Might, unable to move. Dugu Bo fared slightly better; by utilizing the power within his Soul Core, he could barely resist, though the horrific pressure still forced him to one knee.

It was only then that Yu Tianshuo realized something was wrong and returned to his body.

Feeling the Dragon Might rushing toward him and seeing the disheveled state of his master and senior brother, Yu Tianshuo felt immense rage!

Dragon scales rapidly covered his entire body in tandem with Yu Tianshuo's fury, and three dragon shadows appeared behind him.

Three terrifying dragon roars barely managed to withstand the Dragon Might of the Earth Dragon King, shielding Dugu Bo and Dugu Yuan and giving them a chance to catch their breath.

"It really is the aura of Third Brother and Fourth Brother! Human! Who gave you permission to offend the majesty of a Dragon King like this!?"

Having said that, the Dragon Might released by the Earth Dragon King intensified, gradually beginning to overwhelm the dragon roars released by Yu Tianshuo.

But by this time, Yu Tianshuo had already gathered enough power, and his figure began to gradually transform into a dragon.

His rapidly growing body startled the Earth Dragon King!

He roared in disbelief.

"Golden Dragon King!?"

"No! This is impossible. I clearly saw the Golden Dragon King being sealed in the God Realm; how could you possibly be the Golden Dragon King!"

"Who exactly are you!!!"

The Earth Dragon King roared in fury!

He could not accept what he was seeing. The Golden Dragon King, who had been sealed in the God Realm after his own death, had actually appeared on a human—how could he not be enraged?

In truth, the Earth Dragon King had lost his reason at this moment. Had he bothered to sense it, he would have been even more shocked to discover that this creature resembling the Golden Dragon King had no connection to them at all.

But the current situation no longer allowed him to think that much.

The roar of fury from Yu Tianshuo became the final fuse for this battle.
