Because of the unique nature of Angra Mainyu's clone, Wu Ling did not endow it with a conscious mind. Now, it not only has no emotions, but its memories are also reset every time it is retrieved by Wu Ling.
Because in Wu Ling's mind, he didn't need the cultivation boost from this clone, so the term "suicide Wu Ling " was the most appropriate way to describe this clone.
Wu Ling patted Angra Mainyu on the shoulder and solemnly said to him, "Go, Xiao An, this is a necessary sacrifice."
At the same time, Noxie, the Sacred Dragon, immediately sensed the lingering malice within the Sixth Clone of Wu Ling upon seeing it. Even a trace of that malice filled him with visceral disgust and fear. "What do you want, you human brat? How dare you..."
Noxie watched helplessly as his clone approached him step by step. The clone's hand slowly touched his body. Although he didn't feel anything unusual, he still felt a sense of fear and unease. He roared and tried to force the clone back. He even straightened the chains on his body. Even if the Wu Ling were to break free, it wouldn't be surprising.
Just then, Noxie discovered that a wisp of his soul had been absorbed by the foolish clone before him.
He let out a dragon's roar in terror, and various True Magic elements surged from his body. As Sacred Dragon and the ancestral Dragon Clan of the Western Dragon race in the Zither Emperor World, he possessed all the abilities of the seven Dragon Clan, so controlling multiple True Magic elements was naturally not difficult for him.
He kept unleashing his power, trying to break free from the chains' hold, but the intertwined black chains, like maggots clinging to bones, bound him firmly to the ground, rendering him unable to move. He could only watch helplessly as the clone continued its actions.
" Evil God... Domain." Xiao An's light words reached Noxie's ears, and in an instant, his once smooth and jade-like Dragon Bone seemed to be covered with a layer of dust.
Then, under Wu Ling's guidance, Xiao An unhesitatingly tore off his left hand with his right hand. No blood splattered, but a "crackling" sound could be heard as it shattered.
Wu Ling raised his head slightly and saw that there was still a crack around the left shoulder of the Dragon Bone, as if it would break off at the root at any moment. Moreover, the soul fire in the Bone Dragon also trembled violently, as if it had suffered some severe blow.
" Damage Sharing!" Noxie shouted in surprise, uttering Xiao An's skill. He didn't dare to move an inch.
If Noxie were in his prime, he might have been able to discern the skill's flaws through the injuries. However, now he is nothing but a soul, and his soul was first consumed by the rules of the Twisted Dragon Domain, then suppressed by Xiao Fen's curse, and finally rendered completely incapable of thought by the impact of Xiao An's skill.
"Alright, Holy Dragon Noxie, I think we can talk now."
Upon hearing Wu Ling's words, Noxie immediately nodded, not daring to utter a single word of dissent.
Afterwards, Wu Ling did not continue talking to Noxie, but instead went to the big tree next to Noxie.
"This Dragon Soul Tree is an excellent material for supporting the tree. I think it's quite good." As he spoke, Wu Ling's hand suddenly shot out and stabbed towards the oldest brownish-yellow Dragon Soul Tree.
"Clang~~~"
With a clang of metal striking metal, Wu Ling's palm pierced directly into the trunk of the Dragon Soul Tree. In an instant, a layer of white light appeared on the Dragon Soul Tree.
A crimson pattern rapidly spread across his palm, activating the Knight of Owner and quickly covering the Dragon Soul Tree. Under the influence of the crimson pattern, the Dragon Soul Tree reacted quickly, its outer branches and leaves gradually withering and its volume continuously shrinking.
The Dragon Soul Tree is a unique tree species in this Dragon Domain, nourished by the energy of countless dead Western Dragon. It is suitable for forging artifacts that can carry the souls of the Dragon Clan. Wu Ling now wants to use this strange tree to create a Spirit Tool Spirit Tool can bear all of Noxie's power.
This Dragon Soul Tree is the oldest and of the highest quality in this sacred land of the Dragon Clan. In the original story, the Zither Emperor Ye Yinzhu used it to forge a Transcendent Divine Artifact ( Zither Emperor World Edition), so it is naturally the most suitable for Wu Ling.
Under Wu Ling's skill, the withered branches and leaves of the Dragon Soul Tree gradually increased. In a short while, the entire Dragon Soul Tree had begun to wither, with layers of powder peeling off from the outside. Meanwhile, the energy of the Dragon Soul Tree, which was filled with the soul aura of the Dragon Clan, became stronger and stronger.
After Wu Ling finished doing all this, he turned to Noxie and said, " Noxie, I want to use it to create something. I hope you can provide the protection of the Dragon Soul. I don't think you'll refuse to help."
"You~"
Noxie's Dragon Soul flames fluctuated violently. While the Wu Ling was tempering the Dragon Soul Wood, it secretly attacked the chains time and time again, but each time it failed. At this moment, it had other ideas and plans in mind, and decided to pretend to play along for the time being and wait for other opportunities.
"I can cooperate, but you must promise not to take my life or destroy the Dragon Domain."
"Okay." Wu Ling readily agreed, but this gave Noxie a new idea.
"Such a quick agreement means either this person never had any designs on the Dragon Domain to begin with, or they're shameless enough to lie through their teeth. But judging from what just happened, it's probably the latter... Oh well, let's do as they say for now."
The Sacred Dragon's thoughts shifted for a moment, then it let out another dragon roar. Powerful soul energy enveloped the Dragon Soul Wood that had been tempered by the Wu Ling and lifted it into the air. Then, Noxie's soul fire instantly spread up to it.
Noxie's soul fire blazed fiercely, and as it burned, the Dragon Clan aura emanating from the Dragon Soul Wood grew even stronger.
After some time, the soul fire burning in Noxie's eyes seemed to weaken. He let out a low growl, and a point of pale golden light shot out from his forehead, piercing straight into the Dragon Soul Tree.
That tiny sliver of golden light pierced through, yet it instantly amplified Noxie's released soul power threefold. The milky-white light was imbued with a golden aura, completely enveloping the Dragon Soul Tree.
The Dragon Soul Tree rapidly shrank, and before long, most of Dragon Soul Tree had peeled away. He let out another low roar, and his soul power instantly contracted. With a loud bang, large amounts of powder scattered everywhere, and the entire Dragon Domain seemed to tremble violently.
Noxie's aura weakened considerably. It slowly raised its right claw. The Dragon Soul Tree was gone, replaced by a long, dark golden piece of wood, and a massive aura of soul energy rushed towards it.
He slowly placed the log in front of Wu Ling, the soul fire in his eyes dimming considerably, and said in a deep voice, "This is the best Dragon Soul Wood in the Dragon Domain."
It has been growing here since the day the Dragon Domain was born. It can be said to be the mother tree of all Dragon Soul Wood in the Dragon Domain, and it contains the most soul power.
After my refinement, all the Essence of this mother tree was concentrated on this log. Its hardness surpasses even my original dragon scales, and even I cannot determine the extent of its effects.
I have fulfilled my promise as you requested. I hope you will also keep your promise, not harm my life, and above all, not destroy the Dragon Domain."
