Silver Dragon King

"To those people in the God Realm, once a soul beast, always a soul beast."

"Even if you take human form, soul beast blood still flows through your body. Letting you transform merely gives you an illusory hope."

The Azure Bull Python fell silent.

Over the years, it had seen many soul beast brethren take human form. After entering the human world, most had been hunted down and turned into Soul Rings.

A few had even cultivated to become Titled Douluo, yet still failed to find an inheritance of godhood, ultimately dying of old age.

It had never noticed before, but after this human boy's guidance, it realized there were many things it had overlooked.

"This isn't something you can decide." Qian Chenzhou spoke calmly, looking at the Azure Bull Python. "You and the Titan Giant Ape are merely gatekeepers. The one who can truly make decisions is beneath you, beyond that doorway of light."

"Am I right, Silver Dragon King?"

"Human!"

The Azure Bull Python's playful attitude immediately turned into rage.

Di Tian had personally ordered it to guard this place. Even the Titan Giant Ape knew nothing about it.

How could this person so easily call out its master's name?

The lake churned as enormous waves mercilessly battered the ground.

"Azure Bull Python, how dare you!"

A massive black dragon phantom appeared in the air. Its majestic dragon eyes swept over Golden Crocodile, sending a chill from head to toe through him, along with the illusion that this creature could kill him at any moment.

He could not remember how many years it had been since he last felt such a sensation, yet it had appeared again today.

The phantom black dragon's claw directly enveloped Qian Chenzhou and rapidly dragged him into Life Lake.

"Chenzhou!" Golden Crocodile Douluo's eyes nearly split apart as he erupted with all his Soul Power.

He should never have listened to Chenzhou and brought him to such a dangerous place. He had not expected that, aside from two hundred-thousand-year soul beasts, there would be an even more powerful soul beast here!

The black dragon phantom extended a claw and pinned Golden Crocodile in place.

"Human, it was not easy for you to cultivate to the rank of Titled Douluo. Wait obediently here and do not act rashly. Otherwise, I would not mind destroying your Spirit Hall!"

That pressure made Golden Crocodile tremble all over. The Soul Power within his body seemed frozen, almost impossible to circulate.

What terrified him most was that even his eldest brother, Qian Daoliu, had never given him such overwhelming pressure.

Life Lake.

Countless hundred-thousand-year soul beasts gathered here, with only several powerful ferocious beasts standing at their head.

"Golden-Eyed Black Dragon King Di Tian, I want to see the Silver Dragon King."

Surrounded by numerous hundred-thousand-year soul beasts and ferocious beasts, Qian Chenzhou showed no fear. Instead, he looked toward the enormous black figure.

Di Tian opened its eyes. Its golden dragon pupils carried an authority that tolerated no provocation. It did not know how many years had passed since anyone other than its master dared speak to it this way. Yet today, a little fellow who feared neither heaven nor earth had arrived.

"Human, aren't you afraid I'll kill you?"

"You won't." Qian Chenzhou ignored the hundred-thousand-year soul beasts around him and walked to the edge of the true Life Lake, feeling the Spiritual Power contained within on his fingertips. "Because the Silver Dragon King still needs to discuss a grand plan with me. And if I die, those gods will learn where you are hiding."

"Human, are you threatening me?"

Di Tian stared at Qian Chenzhou, wanting to unleash its pressure, but fearing that the tiny body before it, which had not even obtained its first Soul Ring, would be crushed apart by its aura.

"I'm not threatening you. I don't have that much time to waste. I want to see the Silver Dragon King."

"How could you possibly see our master just because you wish to?"

"You captured me and brought me here. Wasn't that under the Silver Dragon King's instructions?" Qian Chenzhou looked at Di Tian. "Silver Dragon King, if you are unwilling to see me, then stop hiding what comes next. It's meaningless."

"Such audacity! Calling our master's name again and again!"

Di Tian's enormous body slowly rose, the wind and sand it stirred up blinding the eyes.

"Di Tian, let him enter."

"Yes, Master."

Life Lake split open into a passage, and Qian Chenzhou dove inside without another word.

The spatial passage flashed past in an instant.

Before him stood a palace, lavishly decorated with crystals all around. It looked more like the gaudy home of a nouveau riche. Upon a crystal bed lay a woman in a languid pose, draped in translucent gauze.

Her legs were like white jade, and her exquisite face bore no makeup.

"Human, you are very clever."

Qian Chenzhou walked straight over to the bedside. Without wasting words, he began frantically mobilizing the Spiritual Power within his body.

It leaked out for less than three seconds.

After absorbing that Spiritual Power, the Silver Dragon King's languid expression vanished, and an incomparably serious gravity filled her eyes.

At first, she had only thought this human child knew far too much, and she had wanted to see what kind of assistance and insight he could offer her.

Throughout the entire Star Dou Forest, aside from Di Tian, no soul beast understood the terror and difficulty of opposing the God Realm.

Furthermore, she was still severely injured. She did not even know how many years she had spent recuperating, yet she still could not fully recover.

But in those few seconds just now, she could clearly feel her injuries healing. It was comparable to the recovery gained from more than a thousand years of recuperation!

"Silver Dragon King, do you believe me now?" Qian Chenzhou was drenched in sweat as he collapsed onto the crystal bed.

Forcibly circulating Spiritual Power was even more severe than he had imagined.

If he had not crazily compressed his Soul Power over the past few years, then after activating it for less than three seconds, what would have been consumed as a substitute would not have been Soul Power, but his life force!

"Who exactly are you?" The Silver Dragon King's expression grew solemn.

She was extremely familiar with that power from just now.

Because she and the Golden Dragon King had originally been beings formed from the Dragon God's division.

And that power was precisely what the Dragon God had painstakingly pursued!

"Spirit Hall, Qian Chenzhou." Qian Chenzhou wiped the sweat from his forehead. "You only need to know that I want to turn Douluo Continent into an existence that does not belong to the God Realm."

"And our deal is that you will help me hunt suitable Soul Rings."

"I can have hundred-thousand-year soul beasts sacrifice themselves to you," the Silver Dragon King said calmly.

With the soul beast reserves outside, Qian Chenzhou did not doubt that she could do it.

Even if the soul beasts themselves were unwilling, Di Tian could force them to agree.

"I don't need that." Qian Chenzhou shook his head.

His Human Emperor Body did not need Soul Rings at all, but because of the shackles set by this world's heavenly laws, it was impossible to break through without those things as keys. His strength would remain forever stagnant.

Yet he did not need Soul Rings with such immense cultivation. He merely needed a key to unlock the lock.

"I can agree to that condition." The Silver Dragon King spoke calmly. As the common ruler of soul beasts, she naturally held the power of life and death over them. "But what can I gain?"
