Strange Object in the Pool, Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone

After his Soul Power had recovered somewhat.

Dugu Feng entered the pool. It was extremely deep, and after swimming down more than twenty meters,

the surrounding environment was almost completely invisible.

This might have been troublesome for an ordinary Soul Master, but Dugu Feng's martial soul was the Ice Fire Nether Toad Emperor.

Not only did this environment have no negative effect on him, it even gave him a natural advantage. His figure gradually blended into the surroundings like a ghost.

He stopped relying on his eyes and instead used his senses and spiritual power

to perceive everything around him.

He kept swimming downward. The farther down he went, the greater the water pressure became. Fortunately, his body had long since been tempered.

Even at a depth of a thousand meters, he could withstand it.

However, when he reached a depth of around forty meters, Dugu Feng felt a pressure that struck him as extremely strange. At an ordinary depth of forty meters,

how could he possibly feel even a trace of pressure?

That should only have been possible at a depth of several hundred meters.

Moreover, he discovered that those insects existed only at a depth of around fifteen meters.

He could still sense a very small number of insects remaining within the pool.

However, he casually eliminated them all.

It was as though fifteen meters beneath the surface was a forbidden zone, one they did not dare cross in the slightest.

This surprised Dugu Feng even more, making him all the more determined to investigate below.

He wanted to see what secrets were hidden in the depths of this mysterious pool.

At around fifty meters deep, he had reached the limit of the pool.

At that moment, Dugu Feng discovered an object resembling amber, faintly radiating a trace of pressure.

Dugu Feng reached out, intending to attach his Soul Power to the object.

Yet the instant his Soul Power touched it, it was directly absorbed by the object.

Like a clay ox sinking into the sea, it never returned.

This bizarre scene immediately startled Dugu Feng.

Something capable of absorbing Soul Power could easily drain all the Soul Power from his body if he was not careful.

With that thought, Dugu Feng drew in his Soul Power.

He then grabbed the object with his bare hand. Even with his Soul Power restrained, some of it was still drawn into the object.

Dugu Feng ignored it.

He swam straight down to the very bottom of the pool and used the ground beneath him.

Like a toad, he sprang upward.

He turned himself into a cannonball, pierced through layers of water pressure, and shot directly out of the pool.

Dugu Feng then looked at the crystal-clear, amber-like object in his hand. Upon closer inspection, he found a worm inside it.

Looking carefully, the worm's head somewhat resembled a dragon's, with two protruding, sinister little horns on its head.

Yet it was neither truly a worm nor truly a dragon.

"What exactly is this?"

After pondering for a moment, Dugu Feng focused his energy and unleashed the Ice-Fire Toad Palm.

He struck it directly with his palm. To his surprise, the attack containing Ultimate Ice and Ultimate Fire was directly absorbed into the amber.

The next second, the bizarre object floated into the air.

The Soul Power within Dugu Feng's body began flowing out uncontrollably.

Dugu Feng sealed his meridians, trying to stop it.

But it was already too late. Ninety percent of his Soul Power had been drained.

The outer layer of amber-like material began to be consumed by the creature within, the thing that was neither worm nor dragon.

Before Dugu Feng could react, the thing drilled straight into his head.

Dugu Feng felt as though his head were splitting apart, and he fainted in the next instant.

Deep within his soul, Dugu Feng saw fragmented, intermittent images. He saw a Nine-Colored Giant Dragon.

And he was merely a parasite on that giant dragon's body. Having been influenced by the dragon's aura for countless years, he seemed to show signs of becoming draconic.

There were quite a few parasites like him, each with a different appearance.

Yet it was as though he had no consciousness of his own, spending each day in a muddle.

Then, just as he had barely developed a trace of divine consciousness, the giant dragon died!

It was split into two by a single sword strike, and its power was divided in half as well.

Having finally developed a trace of divine consciousness, he was filled with unwillingness.

He crashed directly into Douluo Star. Feeling the energy within his body constantly fading away, he unwillingly used his last bit of energy to seal himself away.

It was then that Dugu Feng abruptly opened his eyes.

He discovered that Poison Corpse Grass covered his body.

His Soul Power had also risen from level sixty-three to level sixty-five.

"So that thing was merely a parasite on the Dragon God's body. It originally had no consciousness, but just when it finally developed one, the Dragon God was split in two by the Asura God."

"The power was divided into the Golden Dragon King and the Silver Dragon King. It fell to Douluo Continent alongside the Silver Dragon King, wrapping itself up with the tiny bit of consciousness it had finally developed as it waited for an opportunity."

"Yet because of me, its seal was accidentally undone. That thing actually tried to possess me, but its divine consciousness was incomplete, and it had lost the Dragon God's Power. Its strength had long fallen below one ten-thousandth of its peak."

"Naturally, it ultimately failed to possess me."

Dugu Feng guessed that this fellow's original strength had probably been around that of a third-rank god.

It had nearly reached the threshold of a second-rank god, but unfortunately, it had developed intelligence too late.

And too much time had passed, causing too much of its power to dissipate.

This pool had been created when it crashed down.

Or rather, the entire valley had come into being because of it.

This fellow had originally been a little worm that planted a medicinal garden for the Dragon God.

When it fell, it happened to be carrying some seeds.

Some of those seeds happened to fall into the valley.

The Immortal Herb that had grown there was one of those seeds. It had absorbed this fellow's power and thus been able to grow.

"No wonder that Immortal Herb was so powerful. Although this fellow was only a parasite, it had still possessed the strength of a third-rank god. At the end of the day, it was still a god."

Dugu Feng touched his head, and in the next moment, sinister dragon horns grew from his forehead.

The parasite had failed to possess him, but its body had coincidentally become his head Spirit Bone.

Its quality was even slightly above one hundred thousand years.

Mainly because its strength had already almost completely vanished. The fact that it could retain the equivalent of around one hundred thousand years was already fortunate.

"If I had come here ten thousand years later, this parasite would probably have completely turned to dust. Though it used a secret technique to seal itself away, its power was still constantly leaking away."

"Without the Dragon God's aura, it would have died sooner or later. It lived because of the Dragon God's aura, and it was destined to die because of the Dragon God's aura as well."

"These little worms were originally just ordinary plankton in the water. They mutated after absorbing the parasite's aura, so I'll simply call them Dragon Threadworms."

Dugu Feng touched his skull. This Spirit Bone granted him two abilities.

The first skill was called Dragon God's Protection.

It could summon a phantom of the Dragon God to block attacks for him.

The second skill was called Dragon Roar Nine Heavens, a spiritual attack soul skill.
