Golden Dragon Martial Soul Awakens! External Soul Bone: Wind-Thunder Demon Dragon Spine!

The virulent Soul Power seeped through every opening, wildly penetrating the flesh and meridians through the gaps in the Wind-Thunder Demon Dragon's scales.

This was the poisonous Soul Power of a rank ninety-eight Super Douluo. If Du Busi had not deliberately restrained it—

In but an instant, this Wind-Thunder Demon Dragon would have dissolved into a puddle of black water!

Emerald poison mist tightly wrapped around the massive dragon body like a tightening cage, relentlessly crushing and corroding it from within.

Seeing this, Lu Xiao hurriedly called out, "Master, preserve its essence blood! I need the dragon blood to awaken my second martial soul!"

Upon hearing "second martial soul," Du Busi froze, then nodded. The surging poisonous Soul Power immediately came to a halt.

"Don't worry! Your master knows what he is doing!"

Du Busi spoke urgently, unable to conceal the turmoil in his heart. With a thought—

The emerald poison mist surrounding him transformed into countless tiny poison blades, all of which pierced into the Wind-Thunder Demon Dragon's body.

The Wind-Thunder Demon Dragon convulsed violently. Its two savage dragon heads swayed feebly, while its once-raging winds and thunderclaps fell completely silent.

It tried to struggle and take flight, but the emerald giant hand above its head suppressed it like a mountain, utterly immovable!

Faint, miserable roars intermittently escaped from its mouths!

In just a few minutes, this three-thousand-eight-hundred-year-old mutated top-tier soul beast had been tortured by the poison until it was covered in wounds and barely clinging to life.

Its two enormous dragon heads drooped to the ground. Its dragon eyes were bloodshot, its life force rapidly draining away as it completely entered a dying state.

Seeing that the time was right, Du Busi brought Lu Xiao and Xiao Wu before the Wind-Thunder Demon Dragon.

"Do it."

Lu Xiao's eyes flashed sharply at his words, and he nodded heavily.

He had waited far too long for this moment!

Silver light flashed from the Soul Tool on Lu Xiao's finger, and a long blade appeared in his hand.

Then, he raised his hand and gathered all his Soul Power, aiming precisely at the Wind-Thunder Demon Dragon's heart before stabbing down fiercely!

Pfft—

The Wind-Thunder Demon Dragon's massive body jolted. Its four eyes stared venomously at Lu Xiao before it went completely rigid.

Its two dragon heads fell fully limp, and the light in its blood-red eyes instantly dimmed.

As the soul beast died, a purple soul light suddenly burst forth from the demon dragon's corpse.

A Thousand-Year Soul Ring with mysterious patterns and an imposing aura slowly formed, floating before Lu Xiao.

Just as he was preparing to absorb the Soul Ring, a thought suddenly arose in his heart: bathing in dragon blood would make it easier to refine this Soul Ring.

The unseen pull was incomparably clear, as though some primordial power hidden deep within his bloodline had begun to stir.

"Master, I want to awaken my second martial soul and absorb this Soul Ring at the same time!" Lu Xiao said solemnly, his eyes filled with certainty and anticipation.

Du Busi swung his large hand, and the bronze cauldron appeared before Lu Xiao.

Immediately afterward, the Soul Power around him transformed into countless fine threads that burrowed into the demon dragon's corpse.

"Out!"

With a low shout, streams of dark-red dragon blood faintly tinged with gold were drawn out and poured into the cauldron.

This essence blood differed from ordinary soul beast blood. It was as dark red as agate and contained the power of wind and thunder!

After all its essence blood was extracted, the once-massive demon dragon corpse rapidly shriveled. Its scales lost their luster, its flesh withered, and it became nothing more than an empty husk.

In mere moments, all the essence blood of the three-thousand-eight-hundred-year-old Wind-Thunder Demon Dragon had been sealed within the cauldron.

The essence blood churned within the cauldron as wind and thunder faintly rumbled. Strands of golden radiance circulated endlessly, spreading overwhelming vitality and draconic pressure in every direction!

Du Busi turned toward Lu Xiao, his expression incomparably grave. "Disciple, if anything goes wrong, abandon this Soul Ring if you must!"

"This disciple understands!"

Lu Xiao nodded deeply. Without the slightest hesitation, he leaped up and landed lightly and steadily within the cauldron.

The scalding dragon blood instantly submerged his entire body.

In that instant, Lu Xiao felt unbearably hot all over. Every inch of skin and every meridian trembled and stretched wildly.

Lu Xiao shut his eyes, calmed his mind, and focused all his strength on guiding the dragon blood's power to nourish his body.

He could feel an unknown origin within his body rapidly devouring the power of the dragon blood.

It was gradually awakening and stirring.

Casting aside all distractions, Lu Xiao circulated his Soul Power and began drawing in the three-thousand-eight-hundred-year-old Wind-Thunder Demon Dragon Soul Ring.

Guided by his Body Martial Soul, Bronze Treasure Light shone brilliantly across Lu Xiao's entire body.

The purple Soul Ring slowly enveloped Lu Xiao, and endless wind-and-thunder Soul Power continuously poured into his body.

The blood-red glow within the cauldron grew increasingly intense as the dark-red dragon blood was gradually dyed by a layer of dazzling golden light.

And the source of that golden light was Lu Xiao.

Half an hour passed in the blink of an eye.

Buzz—!

Suddenly, a dragon roar that shook heaven and earth resounded throughout the surroundings!

The roar was majestic and tyrannical, carrying the pressure of an ancient supreme being. Its aura far surpassed that of the Wind-Thunder Demon Dragon from before.

"It is awakening!"

Du Busi's pupils contracted sharply, and his body trembled slightly!

He could sense that pressure. It could never belong to an ordinary martial soul!

Inside the cauldron, Lu Xiao's entire body shone gold.

Deep within his sea of consciousness, the Body Martial Soul stood quietly, while the phantom of another brand-new martial soul slowly condensed amid boundless golden light.

Rumble—

Golden light shot into the sky, bursting through the cauldron's opening and piercing straight into the clouds!

A massive dragon phantom entirely golden in color rose from Lu Xiao's dantian and coiled behind him. Its scales were crystal-clear, its dragon horns imposing and majestic, and its dragon eyes shone as brilliantly as blazing suns!

Its dragon body was long and domineering, every dragon scale flowing with pure golden radiance!

His second martial soul possessed Ultimate Strength!

The Golden Dragon had completely awakened!

Xiao Wu curled up, her eyes filled with shock.

As a soul beast in human form, she could clearly feel the absolute suppression originating from her bloodline.

At the same time, the three-thousand-eight-hundred-year-old Wind-Thunder Demon Dragon Soul Ring suddenly contracted, its outer edge becoming surrounded by a faint golden rim!

The Soul Ring's patterns became mysterious and noble!

At the exact moment the Soul Ring fully fused into the Body Martial Soul, something flew out from the Wind-Thunder Demon Dragon's corpse!

The object was dark green throughout, entwined with flickering lightning and gray wind patterns.

It did not resemble an ordinary soul bone. Instead, it looked like a winding, elongated dragon spine, with distinct vertebrae and interwoven scale patterns, exuding an unruly and tyrannical draconic pressure.

Du Busi's gaze abruptly locked onto the dark-green dragon spine, and he cried out, "External Soul Bone!!!"

An External Soul Bone was a special existence apart from the six major categories of soul bones. On the Soul Master's Dream Ranking, it ranked second only to a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Ring!

Before anyone could react, the dark-green Wind-Thunder Demon Dragon Spine had already transformed into a streak of light and shot precisely toward Lu Xiao's back.

The instant the soul bone touched Lu Xiao's body, it became a pool of dark-green liquid and slowly seeped along his spine.

At first, Lu Xiao only felt as though a warm liquid was wrapping around his back.

But that warmth soon turned icy and violent!

Lu Xiao's entire back had turned dark green.

Faintly, something seemed to be about to burrow out through the skin of his back...

"Roar—"

Suddenly, a violent dragon roar erupted from within Lu Xiao's body!

The originally berserk energy instantly calmed down.

Layer upon layer of fine, mysterious patterns quietly emerged across Lu Xiao's back. Trails of dark-green light flowed over them, concealing terrifying and immense power.

The enormous power gradually compressed within his bones, then slowly took shape. A streak of golden light appeared on his dark-green spine!

Crack, crack—

The faint crisp sounds were especially clear in the silent wilderness.

The first change appeared on Lu Xiao's back.

Beneath his fair skin, dark-green light slowly flowed. Fine, orderly dragon scales rapidly spread from his spine, covering his shoulders, elbows, and both hands.

Every scale flowed with faint wind-and-thunder radiance, fitting seamlessly against his skin.

Half of Lu Xiao's body was covered in scales, his dragon's might awe-inspiring!
