Gu Yuena's deep, amethyst-like eyes, capable of seeing through all the laws of the world, quietly watched Mu Yunye before her.
"Icefire Dragon Kings..."
Her exquisite eyes shifted slightly, her gaze piercing through Mu Yunye's body as she clearly sensed the bloodline lying dormant in the depths of his bones and blood.
The flawless, pure origins of the Ice Dragon King and Fire Dragon King!
"The choice of the two Icefire Dragon Kings cannot be wrong."
Gu Yuena finally spoke slowly.
Her voice was ethereal and distant, like celestial music from the highest heavens, carrying an irresistible holiness and majesty.
When she looked at Mu Yunye, her gaze softened slightly.
"Human, not only have you received the recognition of the two Dragon Kings, but you also bear the bond of Destiny Alignment with the Imperial Auspicious Beast."
Gu Yuena's silver-white hair drifted gently in the wind, a hint of solemnity and expectation in her tone.
"So long as you do not do anything that harms the foundations of the soul beast race, our Star Dou Great Forest will regard you as a true friend."
Di Tian and the other ferocious beasts all sucked in a breath.
"Thank you for your recognition, Senior."
Mu Yunye clasped his fists and bowed without servility or arrogance, his eyes clear and candid.
"Spirit City has established itself upon this continent and never intended to make an enemy of the entire soul beast race. The Soul Spirit Method is my greatest show of sincerity."
"So long as the soul beast race does not take the initiative to invade Spirit City, I will naturally regard all of you as friends."
The instant Mu Yunye finished speaking, the long-absent mechanical notification of the system suddenly resounded in the depths of his mind like heavenly music!
[Task completed. Rewards obtained: one External Soul Bone! Spirit City fortune +1! A trump card obtained: Level-10 Soul Tool design blueprints and core formation array (not yet formed)!]
Boom!
Mu Yunye was overjoyed.
Yet before he could carefully examine the Level-10 Soul Tool blueprints in his mind, a tyrannical force suddenly erupted from the depths of his spine without warning!
"Aaargh—!"
Mu Yunye threw his head back and let out a pained, wild roar.
His clothes were instantly shredded to pieces by a violent dark-golden current. The External Soul Bone was forcefully merging into his flesh, blood, and even his soul in an overwhelmingly tyrannical manner!
"That is... a soul bone?!"
Di Tian abruptly raised his head, his golden vertical pupils contracting sharply.
Crack!
Two blinding dark-golden blades of light burst directly from Mu Yunye's shoulder blades, swelling in the wind into a pair of massive dragon wings several meters wide!
The dragon wings seemed forged from the purest gold. Every feather-like dragon scale gleamed with dazzling radiance, as though they contained the terrifying power to tear apart stars and shatter the void.
Golden Dragon Wings!
"Roar—!!!"
The instant those brilliant Golden Dragon Wings fully unfurled, an incomparably pure, supreme dragon might swept madly across the entire Lake of Life.
Rumble—!
"How... how is this possible?!"
Di Tian was horrified. His formidable eight-hundred-thousand-year-old body began trembling violently beyond his control, his bloodline cowering in fear.
And Gu Yuena...
When she sensed the dragon might emanating from those Golden Dragon Wings, the expression on her flawless, beautiful face, which had always remained unruffled, changed abruptly!
Gu Yuena's amethyst eyes stared fixedly at the brilliant Golden Dragon Wings behind Mu Yunye, her red lips trembling.
"This power... this aura that represents ultimate strength and destruction..."
Unprecedented stormy waves rose within Gu Yuena's heart. When that pressure swept across her soul—
Even as the Silver Dragon King, she felt a trace of... terror from the depths of her soul!
How could this be possible?!
"Who... who exactly is he? Other than the Golden Dragon King, how could such a supreme golden dragon bloodline still be hidden in this world?!"
Gu Yuena drew in a deep breath.
Her ample chest rose and fell sharply. Everything before her had completely overturned the understanding she had built over millions of years.
The only dragon bloodlines capable of making her feel this way were likely the Golden Dragon King's and the Dragon God's!
Could it be...
Did Mu Yunye possess not only the Icefire Dragon King Bloodline, but also the bloodline of the Golden Dragon King, perhaps even the Dragon God?!
Buzz, buzz, buzz—!
Mu Yunye's eyes were tightly shut, and his entire body had already been enveloped within a huge golden cocoon of light.
Brilliant golden light surged and rippled above the Lake of Life like waves. He was fully focused on absorbing and fusing with the Golden Dragon Wings rewarded by the system.
With every breath, the dragon wings resonated more deeply with his spine. Tempered by that ultimate golden dragon power, the strength of his body was soaring wildly at an almost monstrous rate!
Gu Yuena stood silently where she was, an immensely complicated light flickering in her violet eyes.
"This human..."
Looking at the youth bathed in golden light, the pride and wariness in her heart were completely shattered at that moment.
Among dragons, bloodline reigned supreme.
If Mu Yunye truly possessed such a terrifying bloodline, then even if it was merely a pair of dragon wings, his status had risen high enough that Gu Yuena had to regard him as one of dragonkind's own.
"His identity is far from ordinary... extraordinarily far from ordinary."
Gu Yuena's red lips parted slightly as she murmured softly.
Though her voice was extremely low, it clearly reached Di Tian's ears as he remained suppressed by the bloodline unleashed from the Golden Dragon Wings.
"My Lord..."
Di Tian swallowed with difficulty, the shock in his eyes beyond words.
"Di Tian."
Gu Yuena composed herself. Her violet eyes regained their depth and majesty as she lightly waved her jade-like hand, instantly forming a layer of silver elemental barrier.
In an instant, it firmly enclosed the space around Mu Yunye, completely cutting off any possible disturbance from the outside world.
She turned and looked at Di Tian, who was still sprawled on the ground, her tone carrying an unquestionable command.
"Di Tian, stand guard here for him until he has completely absorbed this pair of Golden Dragon Wings."
Di Tian's entire body shook upon hearing Gu Yuena's unprecedentedly stern command.
For the core fighting force of the entire Star Dou Great Forest, and even the Silver Dragon King herself, to personally stand guard for him—the grandeur afforded to this human youth was truly unprecedented and unparalleled!
"This subordinate... obeys!"
Di Tian nodded heavily. He no longer dared show the slightest negligence and immediately released his spiritual power, conveying this irrevocable order to every ferocious beast in the core region of the Star Dou Great Forest.
Bi Ji, Scarlet King, Bear Lord, and the other ferocious beasts did not dare disobey.
Every one of them was deeply shaken. Just what kind of power did this human, who had suddenly appeared out of nowhere, possess...
That even Gu Yuena regarded him so highly?!
"If he grows up, could he become an opportunity for our soul beast race..."
Gu Yuena watched Mu Yunye and spoke softly.
