Outside Heaven Dou City,
A hundred li to the south lay a village. Eight great mountains surrounded a central peak, but it was short and barren.
Its summit, nearly a hundred meters across, looked as though it had been blasted apart. It spread outward like flower petals and was pitch-black, with the eight mountains standing in eight directions.
"What happened to this mountain?"
Ma Xiaotao's mouth hung slightly open in a daze. Mu Baobao replied, "The Mermaid Clan and Angel Clan each claimed to be descendants of the Sea God and Angel God. The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan was also descended from the Radiant Sacred Dragon. One day, a giant dragon fell from the God Realm, and the nearby people were infected, gaining Radiant Sacred Dragon martial souls... Only after more than a hundred thousand years did they degenerate into Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragons."
"Didn't Spirit Hall organize a soul-eradication campaign to unify the continent? When they dealt with the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, even the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect had several Title Douluo involved. Nine Dragon Mountains hid nine fragments of the Radiant Sacred Dragon's bones. In that battle, Thunder Douluo Yu Yuanzhen sacrificed his life to forcibly fuse eight fragments and drive back four Title Douluo."
"The eight Dragon King Mountains were blown into this state, but they still couldn't escape the fate of extermination!"
Mu Baobao also sank into his memories. Of the Nine Great Dragon Kings, Time and Space had been obliterated on the spot by the Dragon God, leaving not even ashes behind. Ice and Fire had formed the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well. The Mountain Dragon King had fallen on the yet-undiscovered Star Luo Continent, while Wind, Earth, and Darkness had vanished without a trace.
Yet several dangerous places on Douluo Continent possessed those characteristics. He wondered whether they were the Bone Burial Grounds where those dragons had fallen, while the remaining giant dragons still lay in the God Realm's graveyard.
The spatial turbulence had swept away the God Realm, splitting them apart as well. A small portion, along with the Mountain Dragon King, had landed in the space beyond Star Luo Continent. Most had gone to the Longma Galaxy, directly mutating entire planets into giant dragons.
They had nearly destroyed the Douluo Galaxy. Only Lan Xuanyu's birth had turned the tide.
"Ancestor Xuan was able to break through from rank ninety-eight to ninety-nine because he discovered a Dragon Core in that Dragon Mountain. The most intact skull, the Snow Jade Crown, was obtained by the remaining Blue Lightning Twin Dragons. Ten thousand years have passed—I wonder where it is now!" He was thinking that Mu En had never displayed it, but the possibility was not small.
Of course, it was possible that it had merely been an ordinary Radiant Sacred Dragon. The Radiant Dragon King was at the God King level; even after a million years of erosion, it was not something mortals could fuse with. The Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well was said to belong to the Ice and Fire Dragon King, but that might have been nothing more than Tang Sect boasting.
Ma Xiaotao was still deep in thought, imagining the cruel night of extermination: Thunder Douluo detonating eight Dragon Mountains, fusing bone fragments, and battling four Title Douluo. Combined with the history Mu Baobao had told her yesterday, she felt lingering fear. That woman had been terrifying.
After becoming the Rakshasa God, she had indeed possessed the power for revenge. At that moment, people began approaching them one after another.
"Who are you?"
"This is the territory of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan and the Qiangu Family. Outsiders, leave."
Men, women, old people, and children all watched the two of them. In an instant, light flickered as yellow, purple, black, and red Soul Rings shone at varying levels. The strongest among them was only a Soul Saint.
Soul Douluo and Title Douluo naturally remained calm, but Mu Baobao became somewhat interested.
There were not only Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragons, but also mutated Fire Dragons, Earth Dragons, Wind Dragons... even other ground dragons and flying dragons. They were likely affiliated forces.
Some even held white staffs in their hands, with crimson giant dragons coiling around them. That was... the Break Evil Dragon.
An extremely special dragon race, one that was not even bound by the Dragon God—a strange breed among dragons.
Born of heaven and earth, they were condensed from the righteous energy of the world. They could be called dragons, yet they were not purely dragons. They possessed the trait of breaking evil. No matter how powerful the enemy they faced, Break Evil Dragons would display an unyielding spirit.
The Coiling Dragon Staff martial soul had originally been an ordinary staff. But one day, a Soul Master encountered a Break Evil Dragon. No one knew whether he had fought it or whether it had submitted directly, but afterward, that Soul Master family mutated.
The Qiangu Family—the family that controlled the Spirit Pagoda in the era of Legend of the Dragon King—also belonged to the era of Douluo Continent.
The family of Spirit Hall offerings Qian Jun Douluo and Jiang Mo Douluo. The martial soul of Wang Yan, a senior teacher in the Spirit Department of Peerless Tang Sect's Outer Court and the lover of Golden Crow senior sister Wu Ming. He resembled Mu En somewhat.
Though born into the family, he had a different surname. They had all gone to Shrek Academy, and after generations of research...
The Qiangu Family created the nine forms of the Unyielding Staff Technique. The ninth form had never been mastered by anyone in the family's history. It was merely the ultimate form that the family's first founder had imagined and deduced. Passed down through generations, it was called the form that broke through to godhood, fully comparable to the Great Sumeru Hammer after all nine rings exploded and the Clear Sky Nine Arts.
"I'm just coming home," Mu Baobao answered. The next moment, Kyurem's phantom appeared.
Ultimate Ice and battle intent swept across the field, suppressing the countless Dragon Mights. The Radiant Dragon King might have been a God King, but the Radiant Sacred Dragon was merely an ordinary deity.
Kyurem was the Strongest Dragon, equivalent to a first-class god. Not to mention these were the degenerated Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragons. They were immediately suppressed by Mu Baobao... Only the Qiangu Family's Break Evil Dragons, dragons yet not dragons, were barely affected.
Why was this family here, within the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan? Even Mu Baobao found it surprising.
Because that was from a side story, not even the main text written by Tang Buddha Ancestor. After Spirit Hall was overthrown, only Qian Jun and Jiang Mo remained of its more than ten Title Douluo. They thought Tang Buddha Ancestor, who had become a god, would kill them, but instead, he asked them to help restore the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan.
When they ascended to the God Realm, the Blue Lightning Twin Dragons were already no weaker than them, so they were naturally not killed in return... Yet ten thousand years later, they had actually merged into the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan.
Tang Wulin had done the same when he participated in Gu Yuena's martial contest for marriage, disguising himself as a disciple of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan. The two families could be considered allies.
"Ultimate Ice... How can this Dragon Might be so strong?" several disciples endured the pressure and said.
The Clear Sky Hammer and Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon both often produced mutations. Most clan disciples possessed Thunder attributes, while Liu Erlong and the Seventh Elder, Blazing Sun Douluo, possessed Fire attributes. The strongest was the Radiant Sacred Dragon.
Only later did it become Ultimate Light. Yet this Ice Dragon was born with Ultimate Ice, and its Dragon Might was terrifying as well.
Still, someone objected, "Your martial soul isn't a Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon, and none of us recognize you. How could you be a clan disciple?"
When Tang San returned to the Clear Sky Sect, he had faced the same questioning. Then he displayed the Clear Sky Hammer and Tang Hao's name. Since Mu Baobao's martial soul was not a Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon, it truly was difficult, but he tried mentioning Mu En's name.
"Because I grew up at Shrek Academy. My Grand Uncle is Dragon God Douluo Mu En, and I brought a letter... The clan elders should recognize it."
Mu Baobao was not flustered in the slightest. He took out an envelope sealed with the images of Shrek Academy, a monster, and a giant dragon. This symbolized both Shrek Academy and a member of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan. Someone immediately said,
"Make way. So it's Little Mu!"
"Xiaotao, you came too?"
The crowd parted as an elderly man with snow-white hair, a face full of wrinkles, and a long beard appeared leaning on a cane. He recognized Mu Baobao and Ma Xiaotao.
The two showed a trace of delight. This old man had once visited Shrek Academy and paid Mu En a visit...
Yan Shaozhe was Mu En's disciple, while Ma Xiaotao was Yan Shaozhe's disciple. Mu En was therefore her grandmaster, so this girl had often used her status to pressure him.
She was two generations his senior, yet she insisted that he call her Grandmaster's Wife. As for what happened afterward... there was no afterward.
"Great-Granduncle," the disciples bowed.
This old man was over two hundred years old, only one generation younger than Mu En, yet three times older than Mu Baobao.
"Let me see what Uncle Mu En wrote."
He took Mu En's letter, glanced over it, then looked at the two of them several times. The surrounding disciples whispered among themselves, "Mu En? That Radiant Sacred Dragon? Great-Granduncle's clan uncle, the rank ninety-nine Limit Douluo? The Dragon God Douluo of the Black and White Sacred Dragons?"
Although Mu En did not bear the surname Yu, legends of him still existed within the clan. After completing his martial soul awakening at six, he immediately became a key target of the clan's cultivation. At eight, Mu En's Soul Power had already broken through rank twenty. The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan's patriarch approached Shrek Academy and proposed that Mu En enroll early, which the academy gladly accepted.
At eighteen, Mu En's Soul Power reached rank sixty-nine. While traveling the continent, he met the other two Limit Douluo: Dragon Emperor Long Xiaoyao and Death God Ye Xishui.
They roamed the continent, becoming the outstanding figures of the younger generation in the Soul Master world. Then he entered an ancient ruin no one from the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan had ever entered—the Bone Burial Ground of the Radiant Sacred Dragon.
From within, he brought out the Dragon Core condensed from the Radiant Sacred Dragon's essence and power. With the Dragon Core's aid, Mu En's cultivation speed increased greatly, all the way until rank ninety-eight... Then he succeeded to the position of Sea God Pavilion Master.
He had also tried using this Dragon Core to help others. After all, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan had originated from the Radiant Sacred Dragon, and the clan developed rapidly once more.
But other Soul Masters naturally could not withstand the domineering aura within the Dragon Core. Their martial souls were unsuitable as well, and they all failed. Thus, although this old man had chosen Shrek Academy over the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan,
he still did his utmost to repay the clan. Moreover, because he was so powerful and had lived long enough, he had become the highest-ranking elder. This brat was actually from that branch.
An Ultimate Ice Dragon martial soul—its quality surpassed even the Radiant Sacred Dragon. Thus, everyone lost their hostility toward him and even began chatting with their arms around his shoulders.
"Hey, you should've said so earlier. We're all family, but we nearly started fighting because we didn't recognize each other."
"Brother, my grandfather also became a Title Douluo and a clan elder because Grand Uncle Xuan helped him break through..." Several youths older than him greeted him familiarly.
The girls, however, showed a hint of something different. Mu Baobao's talent undoubtedly surpassed Mu En's from back then, and he would surely become one of the continent's peak experts in the future. But when they looked at Ma Xiaotao beside him, they shrank back. Her looks, figure... she surpassed them in every aspect, and she was Mu En's granddisciple as well. She had the advantage of being close to him.
"Is this your sister-in-law? She's really beautiful. You're a lucky man, brother," one disciple said.
Ma Xiaotao immediately choked, but neither denied nor admitted it. Mu Baobao, however, smirked wickedly. "Her seniority is two generations higher than yours. She's my Grand Uncle's granddisciple. Hurry up and call her Grandmaster's Wife."
"Uh... Isn't that ridiculous?" Everyone was speechless. Mu Baobao complained, "Exactly. When we were kids, she used her status to pressure me all the time. Now..."
"Now you've tamed her, so she doesn't call herself that anymore?"
Those male disciples said whatever came to mind. Ma Xiaotao was already beginning to regret coming along.
At that moment, Great-Granduncle finished reading the letter and loudly berated them, "You little bastards are making filthy jokes here instead of digging the fields... If there's no food in the second half of the year, don't complain! Those who should be cultivating, go cultivate! How can you make the Dragon God Douluo's name known sooner if you're this lazy?"
The crowd immediately scattered, though they still said goodbye to Mu Baobao and Ma Xiaotao. The old man walked up to them, looked them over, and cleared his throat.
"I understand why you came. I'll show you around first—around what was once one of the Upper Three Sects!"
