Lin Ming looked at Di Tian and could not help feeling sorry for him.
The fellow was now moved to a blubbering mess. Especially after seeing how weak the Golden Dragon King was, he wished he could help him recover as soon as possible.
By now, Di Tian was probably truly devoted to the Golden Dragon King, heart and soul. The Silver Dragon King had become a complete clown.
The tens of thousands of years Di Tian had spent following the Silver Dragon King could not compare to these few short days. The Golden Dragon King had completely won him over, body and soul.
The Golden Dragon King was practically a demon pill.
After Di Tian's successful reincarnation, Lin Ming immediately turned his gaze toward Ling Ziyue. His expression instantly turned cold, carrying a trace of displeasure.
"Now, let's talk about you. Did you think I couldn't see through those little schemes of yours?"
At his words, Ling Ziyue's soul trembled. She instinctively lowered her head, her eyes filled with panic.
"You concealed your sex simply because you were afraid that once we knew the truth, we wouldn't let you serve as Di Tian's reincarnation vessel.
"If Di Tian hadn't been indifferent to whether you were male or female, and extremely satisfied with your body, I would have locked you inside the Reincarnation Tower forever, never to be reborn."
Terrified, Ling Ziyue's soul shook like a leaf. She hurriedly knelt and begged.
"Spare me, Master! I know I was wrong. I'll never dare do it again. I'll never try to be clever again. Please forgive me this once, Master."
"Hmph."
Lin Ming gave a soft snort. "I doubt you'd dare try it again."
With that, Lin Ming wasted no more time. At a thought, the Reincarnation Tower exerted its power again, enveloping Ling Ziyue's soul before reincarnating her into the Demon Spirit's body.
He had thought it would take only a tiny bit of energy, but when an entire energy crystal vanished, shock finally appeared on Lin Ming's face.
After all, helping Di Tian, who had 900,000 years of cultivation, complete his reincarnation had consumed only five energy crystals. Yet Ling Ziyue, a human soul who had not even awakened her martial soul, with no soul power or cultivation, had used up an entire energy crystal simply because her spiritual power was exceptionally gifted.
Was this only to be expected of someone with a special bloodline?
She truly was extraordinary.
Lin Ming's eyes lit up, and his anticipation grew. He felt that Ling Ziyue might give him a surprise.
The reincarnation ritual proceeded steadily. Although it consumed a great deal of energy, it did not take long, since this was only an ordinary person reincarnating.
After only a moment, the reincarnation ritual ended.
All the remaining energy flowed toward the Demon Spirit's body, repairing it and replenishing its vitality.
Soon, this cold Demon Spirit body was brimming with life again, and even its complexion had turned rosy.
The next moment, this slender hundred-year Demon Spirit, dressed in a vine dress, with long pale-blue hair and butterfly wings, slowly opened her eyes.
Her eyes had pitch-black human pupils.
Ling Ziyue had successfully reincarnated, becoming a soul beast native to the Star Dou Great Forest through and through-and a Demon Spirit, a pure mental-attribute soul beast, at that.
After merging, Ling Ziyue felt nothing amiss. Her soul fit this new body perfectly, and tranquil fluctuations of spiritual power and soul power lingered around her.
"Thank you for granting me a second life, Master. I will serve you faithfully and never betray you."
Ling Ziyue had recognized her identity and understood her place.
Someone as unfathomable as Lin Ming was absolutely not to be defied. He was a being she had to submit to, and she decidedly did not dare harbor any disloyalty.
"All right, get used to your body first."
Lin Ming stopped paying attention to her and turned his gaze elsewhere.
After successfully reincarnating, Di Tian had spent some time familiarizing himself with his body. Now, he was about to undergo his martial soul awakening.
Naturally, this was not a sight to be missed. Lin Ming was also curious about what martial souls Di Tian could awaken.
Twin martial souls were inevitable: one would be the martial soul inherent in Di Tian's soul, and the other would be the martial soul awakened from Ling Ziyue's body.
Lin Ming did not know what would emerge from the mutations brought about by the Golden Dragon King bloodline, Di Tian's bloodline, and the power of reincarnation, but he was looking forward to it.
The Myriad Demon King, Xiong Jun, and the others already knew and hurriedly took martial soul awakening stones out of their Storage Soul Tools.
They lacked spatial abilities like Di Tian's and used Soul Tools for storage instead. Of course, they had stolen the Soul Tools, and the martial soul awakening stones too.
Once they killed a Soul Master, didn't everything that Soul Master owned become theirs?
Under the Myriad Demon King's control, several martial soul awakening stones floated into the air and formed a circle. Gentle white awakening light slowly enveloped Di Tian's body.
Soon, a terrifying aura radiated from him-draconic might. Overbearing draconic might emerged.
Black light and the power of space flowed behind Di Tian, and the phantom of a ferocious Golden-Eyed Black Dragon King slowly appeared, exuding imposing dominance.
Without a doubt, this first martial soul was Di Tian's bloodline martial soul-the Golden-Eyed Black Dragon King.
Di Tian was not at all surprised to awaken this martial soul. This was his bloodline, so naturally, he could not possibly awaken an inferior martial soul.
Unfortunately, it had not reverted to the ancestral Dark Dragon King. He was the child of the Light Dragon King and the Dark Dragon King, so an ancestral reversion could only have produced one of those two martial souls. Unfortunately, it had not.
It seemed that a Dragon King-level martial soul's standing was still too powerful. He could only awaken the Golden-Eyed Black Dragon King.
Still, he was quite satisfied with this martial soul. After all, it was the one he knew best. He would soon get the hang of it, and he was accustomed to using it.
After the martial soul awakened, a second radiance followed close behind.
Just as Lin Ming was guessing that Di Tian's second martial soul might be related to Ling Zichen, or might revert to an even more powerful Dragon King-level martial soul, radiant clouds of light suddenly burst across the sky.
Brilliant seven-colored light shot skyward from Di Tian. Halos of red, orange, yellow, green, cyan, blue, and violet intertwined and coiled together, forming an extraordinarily wondrous seven-colored dragon phantom that shimmered with flowing light and circled around him.
The dragon phantom radiated extremely powerful draconic might, but this might was not overbearing. Instead, it had a transcendent quality that seemed to embrace all creation.
At that moment, a deathly silence fell over everyone.
Lin Ming's face was filled with disbelief.
"That seven-colored dragon... a R-Rainbow Dragon?"
If even Lin Ming reacted like this, the Golden Dragon King found it even harder to keep his composure.
The Golden Dragon King, who had only just stabilized, immediately launched himself off Lin Ming and rushed over to Di Tian.
After circling him several times, his babyish voice suddenly rang out, filled with shock and disbelief.
"Damn!
"A Rainbow Dragon!
"Di Tian, you actually awakened the Rainbow Dragon martial soul!
"How could this possibly be a martial soul that a human could awaken?"
Actually, it was possible. Lin Ming was just about to point that out.
In fact, someone at Shrek had awakened a Rainbow Dragon ten thousand years ago.
However, Lin Ming felt that it probably was not the same thing the Golden Dragon King was talking about.
The Rainbow Dragon Di Tian had awakened clearly looked badass. He seemed to remember that the Rainbow Dragon was the Dragon God's wife, the empress of the Dragon Clan.
And now Di Tian had awakened it. What a messy circle they moved in.
At this moment, Di Tian also looked utterly bewildered.
"I actually awakened the Rainbow Dragon martial soul. What on earth is going on?"
"Who the hell knows what's going on?"
The Golden Dragon King was completely dumbfounded now. He circled Di Tian several more times, examining him closely.
"Damn, there's definitely something going on with you."
