Jia Lin called Lu Changqing "Father-Lord"? The 100,000-Year Godly Taotie Bull's human transformation, Xuan Zi! (2.2K)

True Dragon Forest, Core Dragon Emperor Peak.

Draconic might surged to the heavens, sweeping across the mountains and even forming pressure visible to the naked eye.

The Sky Screen high in the void projected the bloody slaughter at Vast Sea Fortress and the wagered duels on Sea God Island without reservation.

At the summit, four enormous dragons each occupied a spot.

At the central seat of honor lay an exquisitely beautiful True Dragon, scarlet-gold from head to tail.

The Fire Dragon King, Jia Lin.

980,000 years of cultivation!

In cultivation age alone, Jia Lin stood below only the 990,000-year Deep Sea Demonic Whale King.

In strength, Jia Lin had hopes of becoming the foremost "dragon" beneath the Gods!

As Lu Changqing's adopted daughter, Jia Lin had grown far faster than ordinary beings over these fifty thousand years, nourished by the blessings of his slumber.

To Jia Lin's left was the Storm Dragon King, wrapped in azure gale winds, with 700,000 years of cultivation.

To her right was the Taotie Dragon King, dark yellow throughout, with 400,000 years of cultivation.

And a little farther away, in a lower position,

was the pitch-black Rift-Splitting Black Dragon King, whose wings resembled black blades that tore the heavens, renowned throughout Xuanwu Continent for his 300,000 years of cultivation.

Compared with the first three, the Rift-Splitting Black Dragon King preferred "displaying his divinity before others."

Thus, he enjoyed greater fame in the Xuanwu Empire.

Although busybodies in the outside world habitually referred to them collectively as the "Four Great Dragon Kings,"

within True Dragon Forest, only Jia Lin deserved the true title of "Dragon King."

The other three all called themselves Saint Dragons.

"Big Sister Jia Lin, the Sky Screen has been here for several days, and the Xuanwu Empire's iron hooves have already trampled through the gateway to that other continent."

The Storm Dragon King gave a deep draconic rumble as fierce winds howled.

"That little human emperor Lu Ye is brimming with ambition. He even sent out a lunatic like the Death Spider Emperor, Bibi Xi.

"That strike of Eternal Creation just now directly flattened a mighty human stronghold on the opposite shore.

"It seems that within three days, once the two continents collide completely, the Xuanwu Empire's armies will advance in full force."

Below, the Rift-Splitting Black Dragon King's eyes flickered, his wings trembling slightly.

"Not only that, but over on Sea God Island, Sea Dragon Douluo has already lost, and Sea Spear Douluo won't last ten exchanges against Yu Chuanwu.

"That fellow Sea God's legacy in the lower realm is about to be uprooted.

"If the Divine Realm intervenes, this battle will surely spark a war between Gods.

"Big Sister Jia Lin, Lord Ancestor is still asleep. Should our True Dragon Forest make some decisions in advance?"

Faced with their probing, Jia Lin did not so much as move her eyelids, remaining unmoved.

Jia Lin glanced at the Sky Screen and said coolly,

"The slaughter of the mortal world is nothing but ants fighting over the size of their mud puddles.

"Whether it is the Xuanwu Empire, the human dynasties of Douluo Continent, or even those watchdogs the Sea God left in the mortal world,

"none of it means anything to me."

The Storm Dragon King faltered slightly.

"Then... what if the Divine Realm unleashes its wrath?"

The three Dragon Kings were still deeply afraid of the Divine Realm.

"Since 'Father-Lord' has not awakened to issue a decree, that means everything remains within his control."

Jia Lin spoke calmly, her tone certain.

Yes, "Father-Lord"!

In Jia Lin's heart, her adoptive father Lu Changqing, who led the Divine Realm around by the nose and whose strength reached through heaven and earth,

was the one truly worthy of her!

And so, Jia Lin had played a little trick, choosing "Father-Lord" as her form of address.

As the saying went, let rulers be rulers and ministers be ministers, fathers be fathers and sons be sons.

Since she, Jia Lin, was Lu Changqing's adopted daughter, choosing that form of address was perfectly reasonable, wasn't it?

"No matter how the outside world turns upside down, I have only one goal:

"To break through to one million years of cultivation, condense a Divine Core, and become a God."

The Rift-Splitting Black Dragon King could not help speaking in a low voice.

"But Big Sister Jia Lin, after the great war back then, the Divine Realm placed an annihilating shackle upon the Soul Beast Clan.

"Among all living beings on Douluo Star, beasts must never summon the lightning tribulation of godhood, or they will surely be annihilated by divine punishment from the nine heavens..."

"The Divine Realm's rules may chain those mediocre creatures trapped in their little corners, but can they chain me?"

Jia Lin cut him off coldly.

"The origin power Father-Lord bestowed upon me has nourished me for fifty thousand years. I have long since condensed half a wisp of Divine Essence within my body.

"The day Father-Lord awakens will be the day the Divine Realm's rules shatter.

"If you have the leisure to watch these posturing clowns fight here, you would be better off diligently tempering your bloodlines."

Lu Changqing could be said to have placed great hopes in Jia Lin.

He sincerely wished to help Jia Lin become a God.

With that, Jia Lin willed it, beat her dragon wings, and flew straight toward the Volcanic Earth Vein at the very heart of True Dragon Forest to cultivate in seclusion.

At the summit,

the Storm Dragon King shook his head somewhat helplessly.

"Big Sister Jia Lin's heart soars higher than the heavens, and her sights are set on godhood. Naturally, she thinks nothing of these mortal grudges."

"She has Lord Ancestor's protection and bears the purest Fire Dragon King bloodline of the Nine Great Dragon Kings. Naturally, she has the confidence."

The Taotie Dragon King spoke in a deep, muffled voice.

"However, we are different.

"True Dragon Forest has propagated to this day. Apart from us few purebloods, there are also vast populations of descendants.

"As the two worlds merge and mountains and rivers undergo tremendous changes, True Dragon Forest will bear the brunt.

"Since Big Sister Jia Lin pays no heed to worldly affairs, we must carefully plan our way out."

The Rift-Splitting Black Dragon King narrowed his draconic eyes.

"Taotie, what do you intend to do?"

"I have already sent orders to summon all the core descendants of my Taotie Lineage in the forest who have reached the hundred-thousand-year level."

The Taotie Dragon King lowered his head and looked toward the plains and valleys beneath Dragon Emperor Peak.

"Especially that wayward disciple who took human form and entered the human world.

"Though he has assumed human form, his insight into the two powers is keener than that of True Dragons like us, who remain deep in the mountains all year round.

"Let us hear what they have to say."

The Taotie Dragon King shook his draconic body, his voice piercing ten thousand miles of forest.

"Where are my blood descendants?

"Come before me at once!"

The instant his voice fell, the earth around the plain began to rumble violently.

"Roar-!!"

"Raaah!!"

Several terrifying presences erupted from deep within the mountains and forests, bringing billowing, blood-reeking winds as earth and stones flew.

In mere moments, seven enormous beasts tore through the forest and rushed together to the foot of Dragon Emperor Peak.

These seven Soul Beasts differed in appearance, but without exception, the rich, powerful bloodline of the Taotie Saint Dragon flowed through them:

At the very front was the 180,000-year Earth-Swallowing Savage Dragon, with six legs and heavy stone armor covering its back.

To its left was the 150,000-year Earth-Covering Dragon Lizard, with a single horn on its head and two claws like enormous anchors that could rend the heavens.

To its right was the 140,000-year Gluttonous Evil Dragon, covered in dark-gold spikes, its gaping, blood-red maw occupying almost half its face.

Lined up behind them were the 120,000-year Mountain-Shaking True-Horned Dragon, the 110,000-year Golden-Armored Carapace Dragon, the 100,000-year Earth-Splitting Dragon Rock Beast, and the 100,000-year Taotie Mad Crocodile.

Seven genuine hundred-thousand-year-level lesser-dragon Soul Beasts!

The seven great lesser dragons prostrated themselves, reined in their ferocity, and respectfully bowed their heads toward the Taotie Dragon King at the summit.

Yet directly in front of the seven ferocious lesser dragons stood an incongruous human figure.

It was an old man with hair as messy as a bird's nest and ragged clothes gleaming with grease.

The old man was thin and scrawny, and he still held half of a thousand-year spirit bird's leg, roasted until it glistened with oil.

He chewed ravenously while belching, without the slightest trace of a powerhouse's bearing.

Yet behind him, the seven savage hundred-thousand-year lesser-dragon beasts showed faint signs of reverence and deference, not daring to offend him in the slightest.

"Taotie Douluo," Xuan Zi.

His original form was the 100,000-Year Godly Taotie Bull, which had mutated from the Taotie Saint Dragon bloodline a hundred thousand years ago.

Upon cultivating to the great hundred-thousand-year threshold, he had chosen the path of transformation, rebuilding his cultivation in a human body.

After arduous cultivation, the present Xuan Zi had not only reached level 98 in Soul Power,

but had also, through his unusual devouring constitution and the terrifying power of his Godly Taotie Bull Martial Soul, joined the foremost tier of powerhouses below Limit Douluo on Douluo Continent.

He was also a powerhouse ranked among the most notable transformed Soul Beasts across all of Xuanwu Continent.
