Millennium Black Water Profound Flood Dragon! Absorbing the First Soul Ring! A Powerful First Soul Skill and Passive!

Millennium Black Water Profound Flood Dragon! Absorbing the First Soul Ring! A Powerful First Soul Skill and Passive!

"Alright, a thousand-year Soul Ring! We'll go crazy with you!"

The three were all grown men, so they stopped wasting words.

After searching for a week, they had encountered quite a few Soul Beasts along the way. They had not killed most of them, merely scared them off. They had also come across several Soul Beasts with faint Dragon Clan bloodlines, but they were only a few hundred years old, so Li Fei gave up on them.

Since he had brought along two Soul Saints and a Soul Emperor, he had to hunt the very best one possible!

That day, the three of them entered the middle region and arrived at the foot of a steep mountain of waterfall-carved rocks.

"This scale isn't from a snake. It's a dragon scale."

"Judging by the aura contained in it, it must belong to at least a thousand-year-level creature."

Li Fei picked up a black scale from the ground. He was especially sensitive to dragon-type creatures, which was one of the results of the Eastern Azure Dragon's transformation of his body.

"Dragon scales? Could there be a dragon beneath this water?!"

Flender, Zhao Wuji, and Li Yusong were delighted.

After searching for a week, they had finally found a suitable target!

It would have been a lie to say they were not excited!

"No. More accurately, it isn't a true dragon, but a Flood Dragon—an awkward form between a snake and a dragon." Li Fei shook his head.

"A Flood Dragon? Xiao Fei, how do you know?"

Flender asked curiously.

Li Fei said, "After my Martial Soul mutated, my perception of Soul Beasts became extremely sharp. When I touched this scale, a little information about this Soul Beast appeared in my mind."

"A Martial Soul mutation can have an effect like this?!" Li Yusong, Flender, and Zhao Wuji were shocked upon hearing that.

"Good. That's an extremely important ability as well!" Flender nodded in satisfaction.

Rumble—

Suddenly, the ground trembled, and the water in the lake ahead churned in waves.

A Soul Beast covered in black scales burst from beneath the water. It looked neither fully like a dragon nor fully like a snake. Opening its massive jaws, it charged at them.

It wanted to swallow them whole in one bite!

"Watch out!"

Zhao Wuji summoned his Vajra Bear Martial Soul and stood in front.

Flender carried Li Fei into the air and brought him to a safe area.

Li Yusong summoned his Martial Soul as well and charged forward.

Azure light flickered in Li Fei's eyes as information about the Soul Beast before him flooded into his mind.

This was information given to him by the Eastern Azure Dragon!

"This is a 1,999-year-old Black Water Profound Flood Dragon. Its total length reaches one thousand meters, and it possesses a dense Dragon Clan bloodline! Its weak point is seven inches from its head!"

"Grandpa, uncles, I want this Soul Beast as my first Soul Ring!"

Li Fei spoke up.

Though they were surprised by Li Fei's knowledge, now that they knew he wanted this Flood Dragon, the three of them became more cautious.

Although the Black Water Profound Flood Dragon was only 1,999 years old, it was extremely powerful.

However, under the combined efforts of Flender, Zhao Wuji, and Li Yusong, it was quickly suppressed.

No matter how strong it was, as long as its age had not reached a higher level, it was merely a slightly stronger lackey before two Soul Saints and a Soul Emperor!

In the end, the Black Water Profound Flood Dragon was beaten until it was barely alive, collapsing onto the ground.

"Xiao Fei, you must think this through. This one exceeds the limit by 999 years! Once you begin absorbing it, there will be no turning back!"

"If the absorption fails, your body will explode and you'll die!"

Flender warned him once again.

"I've made up my mind." Li Fei nodded.

With a thought, he opened his right palm, and the Azure Dragon Staff appeared, instantly expanding in size.

In an instant, his entire aura changed.

A dragon's roar emanated from the Azure Dragon Staff.

It made the Black Water Profound Flood Dragon, which was still lying on the ground and trying to resist, reveal a terrified expression.

Its eyes stared at the human walking toward it, as if this were not a human at all, but a gigantic azure true dragon!

Its Dragon Clan bloodline trembled in fear, as if it had seen the dragon of true divinity—the Myriad Dragon Ancestor!

Its eyes became clear, and it kowtowed respectfully and devoutly.

Thud, thud.

"What's going on?"

"Why is it kowtowing to Xiao Fei?"

This scene left Li Yusong and the other two utterly dumbfounded.

"Did we beat this Flood Dragon stupid?"

"Or is it begging for its life?"

Zhao Wuji scratched his head.

Suddenly, the Black Water Profound Flood Dragon raised its head and roared at the sky as black energy gradually radiated from its body.

The next moment, its entire body slumped down, and it completely breathed its last.

Its body also transformed into a purple Soul Ring.

The sight left everyone stunned.

"Did it commit suicide?"

"Oh no, Xiao Fei didn't kill it! Then who does this Soul Ring belong to?"

"What a great Soul Ring. What a waste!"

The three wore astonished expressions, their faces full of regret.

"No, it hasn't been wasted. I can absorb it."

Li Fei roughly understood what had happened.

This Flood Dragon knew it was doomed. Having seen the even more terrifying Eastern Azure Dragon, it had chosen death on its own under the influence of that true divine dragon's might.

From another perspective, it had been frightened to death by his Martial Soul, so it still counted as his kill.

He sat cross-legged and absorbed the thousand-year Soul Ring into the Azure Dragon Staff. Circulating the Eastern Azure Dragon Art, he began to absorb and refine it.

The next second, Li Fei felt a fierce and powerful force emerge within his body, crazily battering his bones, tendons, blood, vessels, spine, nerves, flesh, and more. Once he endured it, all of them underwent their first ultimate sublimation and transformation!

A shell in Li Fei's shape, formed from intangible energy, peeled away from his body before finally dissipating.

This also meant that he had completed his transformation.

The intense reactions emanating from his body had already vanished, and he had entered a safe period.

An even more powerful dragon's might appeared around him!

It seemed to have happened in an instant, but half a day had already passed since Li Fei began absorbing it. The sky gradually darkened as night arrived.

By this point, Flender and the other two were rather tense, because nighttime was when Soul Beasts came out to hunt their prey.

They remained on high alert, vigilantly observing their surroundings.

This was Li Fei's most crucial moment. He absolutely could not be disturbed.

Fortunately, this place was only at the border between the middle and outer regions. Soul Beasts with truly high cultivation would not appear here, and those that did approach were frightened away by the aura the three men emitted.

Buzz!

A purple Soul Ring appeared around Li Fei.

The moment this Soul Power fluctuation emerged, it drew the gazes of the three men.

Their faces lit up with delight. "He succeeded! A thousand-year purple first ring!"

The happiest of them all was Li Yusong.

This was his biological grandson.

The hope of reviving the Li Family in the future!

Li Fei slightly opened his mouth and exhaled a breath of turbid air. He slowly opened his eyes, and a flash of azure light vanished in an instant.

He was very strong now!

His strength was strong! His body was strong! His soul was strong!

This was the difference between having absorbed a Soul Ring and not having absorbed one!

The gap was simply enormous!

And his first Soul Skill did not come from the Black Water Profound Flood Dragon, but from one of the Eastern Azure Dragon's inherited Soul Skills—the Nine Strengths of the Azure Dragon!

The age of the Soul Ring also determined how much power he could unleash with this strike.

Besides that, he had also gained the ability to control water, breathe freely underwater, and move freely beneath the water. At the same time, his overall strength would increase greatly while in water!

This part of his abilities came from the Black Water Profound Flood Dragon. They were passive abilities that could activate as long as he entered the water.

Very good skills!

With the ability to control water, even in a place without water, he could manipulate water to cover his entire body and exploit this loophole.
