Demon Dragon Transformation Through Self Martial Soul Fusion

Beside the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, Gu En did not leave immediately. Instead, he took out an enormous chrysanthemum from the pile of immortal herbs he had gathered.

The chrysanthemum was a resplendent purple, each petal crystal-clear and translucent. A faint golden glow shone at its center. It appeared balanced and tranquil, yet contained an unimaginably terrifying pure yang aura—the immortal-grade Strange Velvet Sky-Piercing Chrysanthemum.

"Grandpa, this immortal herb is called the Strange Velvet Sky-Piercing Chrysanthemum. Consuming it will open the flow of qi through the limbs and blood through the eight meridians, forging an indestructible body."

Gu En handed it to Gu Rong, his gaze sincere.

Gu Rong froze. He could sense the astonishing energy contained within the flower.

At his level, ordinary treasures no longer meant anything. Yet this immortal herb made the bottleneck in his soul power, dormant for many years, tremble faintly.

"Good grandson, Grandpa didn't dote on you for nothing!"

Gu Rong did not stand on ceremony. He immediately sat down cross-legged and began refining it.

Three hours later, an utterly terrifying wave of soul power erupted from Gu Rong's body.

Around him, space no longer cracked apart. Instead, it collapsed in neat, mirror-like planes.

His once withered body filled out, while a faint layer of golden light flowed across his skin.

"Roar—!"

A colossal Bone Dragon phantom, a hundred meters long, emerged above Sunset Forest. Its pressure blanketed a hundred li in every direction, making countless soul beasts tremble in fear.

"Level ninety-seven... This old man has finally crossed that threshold!"

Gu Rong opened his eyes, his voice booming like a great bell.

Now that he had reached level ninety-seven, coupled with the Bone Dragon Martial Soul's bizarre spatial abilities, he was confident that even against the level ninety-eight Golden Crocodile Douluo, he could remain undefeated!

"Come, En'er! Today, Grandpa will take you to the deepest part of this forest and find that highest-grade soul beast!"

On the way to the depths of the forest, they ran into a thousand-year Ghost Tiger head-on. Gu En used his second soul skill to trap it.

Gu En's second soul ring had come from a six-thousand-year Void-Breaking Bone Spider.

"Second Soul Skill: Bone Dragon Senluo Prison!"

Gu En slammed his right hand toward the ground.

In an instant, the space within fifty meters froze solid.

Countless dark-gold bone spikes shot out from the void without warning, crisscrossing to form a massive bone cage that trapped the Ghost Tiger within.

Most bizarrely, these bone spikes possessed intense spatial-rending properties. Once touched, they inflicted not only physical damage, but could even shred soul power defenses apart.

The core region of Sunset Forest, within a gloomy gorge that never saw sunlight year-round.

"That's it." Gu Rong lowered his voice and pointed toward a sleeping monster atop an enormous stone platform deep within the gorge.

It was not an especially large soul beast, only around six meters long.

Its entire body was covered in scales as deep as black holes. Wings extended from its back, and every feather resembled a spatial blade.

The most eye-catching feature was its tightly shut eyes, around which tiny black holes flickered in and out of existence.

"A twenty-thousand-year Void Shadow Dragon."

Gu Rong said gravely:

"It is a mutated dragon species with ultimate darkness and spatial attributes. Though it is only twenty thousand years old, its strength is enough to contend with ordinary fifty-thousand-year soul beasts. En'er, are you afraid?"

Gu En looked at the Shadow Dragon radiating an aura of deathly stillness. Feeling the intense devouring desire transmitted by the Spatial Sacred Bone Dragon within him, a fervent smile appeared on his lips.

"Grandpa, this was practically made for me."

"Good! I'll hold the line for you. Go all out!"

Gu Rong did not strike directly to kill it. Instead, he released the pressure of a level ninety-seven Titled Douluo, forcibly sealing the gorge's space to prevent the Shadow Dragon from escaping, while also giving Gu En a fair arena for their duel.

"Roar!"

The Void Shadow Dragon awoke. Sensing the provocation, it released an enraged dragon roar.

Its pitch-black eyes opened, and the surrounding air was instantly sucked into them, forming a domain of absolute vacuum.

Gu En drew a deep breath, then kicked off the ground. His entire body shot forward like a dark-gold meteor.

"Spatial Sacred Bone Dragon, possess me!"

Dark-gold dragon scales instantly covered his entire body, and Gu En's eyes turned a noble violet-gold.

Faced with the terrifying pressure of a twenty-thousand-year soul beast, he did not retreat. Instead, he launched the first attack.

"First Soul Skill: Bone Dragon Void Flash!"

"Second Soul Skill: Bone Dragon Senluo Prison!"

The two soul skills erupted in succession. Gu En's figure flickered constantly through the void as countless dark-gold bone spikes engulfed the Shadow Dragon from every direction.

Within the gloomy gorge, spatial cracks spread like a spiderweb.

"Bang!"

Gu En stumbled out of a shattered patch of space. Several wounds, deep enough to expose bone, had appeared across the dark-gold dragon scales on his chest.

Yet under the formidable restorative power of the Ice-Fire Golden Body, the wounds were staunching their bleeding at a visible rate.

This twenty-thousand-year Void Shadow Dragon was too powerful.

Not only did it possess spatial control no weaker than that of the Bone Dragon, it also had a bizarre Void Devouring attribute.

When the bone spikes from Gu En's Senluo Prison pierced the black holes surrounding its body, more than half their energy was actually dissipated.

"Roar—!"

The Void Shadow Dragon let out a mocking growl. Its enormous wings flapped, and countless pitch-black spatial wind blades sealed off every one of Gu En's escape routes.

"En'er, do you need Grandpa to step in?"

Gu Rong's brows were tightly furrowed in midair. His right hand was already pressed into the void, ready at any moment to completely erase the Shadow Dragon.

"Grandpa, don't move!"

Gu En wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, as violet-gold light blazed in his eyes.

He stared fixedly at the Shadow Dragon. In his left palm, the long-dormant blood-red pattern began to throb wildly, and an extremely suppressed yet violent aura burst from his body.

"With the Bone Dragon's defense and spatial abilities alone, I truly can't bridge a gap of twenty thousand years... In that case, let me show you what a real monster is."

Gu En took a deep breath, and his eyes instantly turned blood-red.

"Blood Dragon, rise!"

"Boom—!"

A dense blood-red mist, nearly tangible, erupted from Gu En's left hand, instantly dyeing the surrounding space a bleak dark crimson.

A giant dragon phantom covered in crimson flesh and filled with a murderous aura roared as it charged forth.

Two true dragon martial souls shone against each other behind Gu En—one cold and one hot, one dead and one alive.

"What is he doing? Using both twin martial souls at once?"

Gu Rong's pupils shook. Even Bibi Dong would never have dared switch martial souls so recklessly at a low level, let alone use both simultaneously.

But what followed completely overturned this level ninety-seven Titled Douluo's understanding.

Gu En brought his hands together sharply and released a painful yet fervent roar:

"Self Martial Soul Fusion Skill—Demon Dragon Transformation!"

In an instant, the dark-gold Bone Dragon and dark-red Blood Dragon collided violently in the air and fused together.

Gu En's body began undergoing an astonishing mutation.

His originally slender body swelled by a full size. Dark-gold bone armor covered him from head to toe, while blood-red, eye-searing ruby dragon scales grew from the gaps in the armor.
