Dark Sacred Dragon and Original Sin Demon Puppet!

Sun Moon Empire, Evil Demon Forest.

This place was hailed as a forbidden land of the Sun Moon Empire, and few dared to set foot within it.

The reason was that it was teeming with powerful members of the Evil Eye Clan, whose king was the Evil Eye Tyrant Ruler, ranked second among the world's fierce beasts.

Yet beneath such a forbidden land lay a massive artificial Dragon Tomb, known to very few.

It was pitch-black within, filled year-round with ultimate darkness and tyrannical dragon aura.

At first glance, it might seem like a land of death, but if one listened carefully, one could vaguely hear long, resonant dragon roars echoing continuously through the underground Dragon Tomb.

Following those roars, one would see an unimaginably enormous dragon skeleton standing silently at the very center of the underground Dragon Tomb.

Though it appeared to have been dead for an unknown length of time, its stark white dragon bones were covered in scars left by the erosion of the years.

Even so, the terrifying dragon might emanating from it, which stood above all dragons, still struck fear into people's hearts.

It was as though any living being that dared meet those hollow dragon eyes would involuntarily feel reverence and submission rising from the depths of their soul.

Centered around this enormous dragon skeleton, the entire underground Dragon Tomb was strewn with the piled corpses of all manner of dragon soul beasts.

Some had long since weathered and decayed, leaving behind only broken skeletons, while others still retained flesh and blood, clearly having died only months—or even days—ago.

Without exception, they had all died prostrate, facing the massive dragon skeleton at the center.

From afar, it looked as though countless dragon subjects were still worshipping their supreme king even after their lives had ended.

Devout and reverent.

Yet this ancient dragon skeleton, powerful enough to cow all dragons, had now been artificially transformed into a grand and eerie palace.

More accurately, it was not truly a palace.

It was a massive altar built within the dragon skeleton's chest cavity, supported by countless intricate and ancient formations.

Around the altar, ancient black runes flowed without end. Like black holes, they greedily absorbed the tyrannical dragon aura throughout the Dragon Tomb and continuously poured it into the altar, as though nourishing something.

At the center of the altar sat a black-haired young man cross-legged.

The young man had sword-like brows, starry eyes, and a face as flawless as jade. His features were so handsome that they were nearly demonic, as if he were heaven's most perfect creation.

Yet in stark contrast to that handsome appearance, the aura he emitted was cold and sinister, carrying an unusual oppressive force.

Even a distant glance at him was enough to make one's mind tremble and stir an uncontrollable urge to bow down before him.

Behind him in particular, the phantom of an enormous pitch-black sacred dragon flickered in and out of view.

Amid the surging black mist, a pair of dragon eyes seemingly forged from gold slowly opened, looking down over the entire Dragon Tomb. It was as if the true Dark Sacred Dragon had descended upon the world, sending chills down one's spine.

And upon looking further at the young man, one would discover an even stranger sight.

Five humanoid demon puppet phantoms, each dozens of zhang tall, stood like the most loyal guards, firmly protecting the young man at their center.

Each one emanated a completely different terrifying aura.

Pride, envy, gluttony, wrath, sloth.

Five powerful forces of original sin continuously intertwined and collided between the puppets and above the altar, forming an invisible spiritual domain.

Anyone with even slightly weaker spiritual power would have the desires hidden deep within their heart infinitely magnified by a single glance, ultimately sinking completely into original sin and becoming a puppet that knew only desire.

At that moment, a middle-aged man slowly entered Dragon Valley.

The instant he sensed the original sin auras emitted by the five demon puppets from afar, his gaze began to turn unfocused, and all manner of negative emotions surged wildly within him.

Seeing this, he did not panic in the slightest. Instead, he skillfully took out a specially made black pill and swallowed it.

As the medicinal power rapidly spread, the mental fluctuations on the verge of losing control were finally forcibly suppressed, allowing him to regain his clarity.

Then, not daring to overstep in the slightest, he followed the only safe route around the altar and walked step by step beneath the massive dragon skeleton.

Upon arriving before the altar, he immediately dropped to one knee, his expression respectful.

"Young Master."

"Following your instructions, the person has been brought here. They are now outside Dragon Valley, awaiting your judgment."

Above the altar.

The black-haired young man slowly opened his eyes.

His sinister eyes brimmed with the lustful divine light born of temptation and desire. A single glance into them was enough to make one lose control of one's soul.

His name was Long Wushang.

In a sense, he was the young master of the Holy Spirit Cult, as well as the only publicly acknowledged direct descendant of the two present-day Ultimate Douluo.

His father was Dragon Emperor Douluo Long Xiaoyao, the continent's only Dark Sacred Dragon and one of the Twin Sacred Dragons of Light and Darkness.

His mother was Death God Douluo Ye Xishui, the true ruler of the Holy Spirit Cult, its Supreme Leader, and a figure who stood at the very pinnacle of the entire world of evil soul masters.

As the offspring jointly conceived by two Ultimate Douluo, Long Wushang had almost perfectly inherited the strongest darkness origin within them both.

On the day his Martial Soul awakened at the age of six, he awakened twin Martial Souls in one stroke.

The first was the super Martial Soul he inherited from his father, Long Xiaoyao—the Dark Sacred Dragon, possessing the ultimate darkness attribute.

The second was a brand-new Martial Soul—the Original Sin Demon Puppet, which had continuously evolved and sublimated from Ye Xishui's Blood Soul Demon Puppet Martial Soul.

Unlike ordinary Martial Souls, the Original Sin Demon Puppet innately contained the powerful forces of the seven original sins.

Within the Original Sin Demon Puppet Martial Soul, those seven forces of original sin had achieved an unprecedented perfect balance.

It was precisely because of this that, at the moment of his Martial Soul awakening, that unprecedented aura of original sin origin directly crossed the barriers between planes and alerted the God Realm.

The God of Destruction was the first to turn his gaze toward the Douluo Continent.

Afterward, the Seven Gods of Original Sin serving under the God of Destruction's divine lineage also noticed this human boy, who could perfectly inherit their power.

For gods, finding a successor who truly matched their divine position was as difficult as ascending to heaven.

A being like Long Wushang, who could not only bear the power of all seven original sins but also balance them perfectly, was even more unprecedented.

If they missed him, who knew how many ages would have to pass before they encountered another?

Not to mention that they saw in this human boy the possibility of uniting the seven original sins. The Seven Gods of Original Sin each possessed the combat power of first-class gods on their own; if they became one, even the level of a God King might not be his limit. His potential for growth was simply unimaginable.

Naturally, the God of Destruction had no desire to miss the opportunity to cultivate such a high-level combatant—one from his own faction, capable of strengthening the God Realm's overall power.

Thus, with the God of Destruction's support, the Seven Gods of Original Sin did not hesitate in the slightest. They immediately joined forces to wield the authority of the God Realm and bestowed upon Long Wushang an unprecedented divine inheritance.

This was the so-called Seven Gods Inheritance.

The Seven Gods Inheritance was not a one-time divine trial, but a complete assessment system that accompanied the entire process of growth.

Whenever Long Wushang broke through a major realm, the Original Sin Demon Puppet Martial Soul would be drawn by divine power and independently initiate the corresponding trial of original sin.

Only by successfully overcoming the corresponding original sin heart demon, completing the trial, and truly gaining control of that force of original sin could he earn the recognition of the corresponding God of Original Sin.

At that time, that God of Original Sin would personally condense for him an Original Sin God Ring composed entirely of divine power.

Therefore, unlike ordinary soul masters, who relied on hunting soul beasts to obtain soul rings, Long Wushang's first seven soul rings all came from divine rings bestowed by the Seven Gods of Original Sin.

Once all seven Original Sin God Rings had been gathered, when he reached his eighth soul ring, he could fuse the power of the seven divine rings and condense a true Original Sin True Body.

And when his cultivation reached the rank of Titled Douluo and he obtained his ninth soul ring, he would still need to complete the final trials of all seven original sins simultaneously.

Only by completely fusing the powers of the seven original sins, uniting the seven sins into one and transforming them into ultimate original sin, could he ascend to his own supreme divine position and become the God of Original Sin who governed the seven original sins.
