The Golden Dragon King Devours the Holy Dragon of Light [Recommendation Votes and Continued Reading, Dear Readers

"Brother! Brother! Brother!"

Bei Bei burst into tears as he watched Mu Changqing bleed from all seven orifices, trying to jump out of Zhang Lexuan's arms. Zhang Lexuan held Bei Bei tightly, afraid he would interfere with Mu Changqing's Martial Soul awakening.

"Teacher, is Changqing all right?"

An uneasy expression appeared on Zhang Lexuan's face. Inwardly, she was as frantic as an ant on a hot pan, and her heart ached for him too.

"This is my first time encountering anything like this."

Watching Mu Changqing bleed from all seven orifices, Mu En felt as though a knife had pierced his heart. Still, he increased the amount of Soul Power he poured in to awaken Mu Changqing's Martial Soul.

At that moment, the phantom of a gigantic platinum dragon slowly appeared behind Mu Changqing. It was none other than the Holy Dragon of Light, but the Martial Soul flickered in and out of sight, extremely unstable.

"Holy Light...!!"

"How is this possible!!"

Before Mu En could speak, Mu Changqing's Martial Soul shattered, dissolving into motes of light that scattered into the air.

Mu En, Bei Bei, and Zhang Lexuan went blank at the sight, their mouths hanging wide open. Time seemed to stand still.

Bleeding from all seven orifices, Mu Changqing knelt in the center of the awakening formation, clutching his head with both hands as though it were about to explode.

The Golden Dragon King's power rampaged through Mu Changqing's body, completely devouring his Light Dragon King Martial Soul. The Golden Dragon King's bloodline purified Mu Changqing's Martial Soul into a Golden Dragon.

In that instant, the motes of light from the shattered Martial Soul gathered again into a gigantic dragon, golden from head to tail.

An enormous Golden Dragon phantom appeared behind Mu Changqing, spreading two pairs of massive golden dragon wings.

The Golden Dragon raised its proud head and let out a dragon roar that pierced the clouds.

"Roar-"

"Bang!"

A noise rang out on the first floor of the Sea God Pavilion. Startled awake by the Golden Dragon King's roar, Xuan Zi jumped up and fell beneath the conference table.

"Where am I? What just happened?"

Xuan Zi rubbed his filthy hair, utterly bewildered, as though something deep within his bloodline had been suppressed.

Elder Song, who was drinking tea at her residence, was also startled and dropped the teacup in her hand. It shattered into pieces on the floor.

The Golden Dragon King's roar spread outward.

The beast Martial Soul masters still within Shrek City all suffered bloodline suppression, each feeling the urge to kneel and worship.

The Golden Dragon's roar spread throughout the entire Star Dou Great Forest.

Every Soul Beast within its reach trembled and bowed in submission, as though welcoming their new king.

"Why is my bloodline being suppressed by this dragon roar!!"

"It's the Golden Dragon King!! Why would the Golden Dragon King appear within a human?"

An enormous Golden-Eyed Black Dragon King lay prostrate beside the Lake of Life, disbelief filling his eyes, while the fierce beasts beside him trembled.

As the Dragon God's former captain of the personal guard, Di Tian naturally knew the Dragon God's presence well. Since the Golden Dragon was one of the Dragon God's avatars, he was very sensitive to the Golden Dragon King's power.

"I must go in person and bring the Golden Dragon King back. His life will certainly be in danger if he remains in the human world."

As he spoke, Di Tian spread dragon wings that blotted out the sky and sun, preparing to head toward Shrek City.

"Di Tian, come back!"

A melodious female voice rang out from the center of the Lake of Life. As it reached Di Tian's ears, he immediately stopped.

Filled with reverent trepidation, Di Tian dropped to one knee toward the source of the female voice.

"My lord! What are your orders?"

"I will personally search for the Golden Dragon King!!"

"Remember to guard the Soul Beast race while I am away!!"

"Especially the Auspicious Beast! If she suffers any harm, I will hold you responsible when I return!"

At the center of the Lake of Life, a gigantic silver dragon suddenly blazed with purple light.

Her body gradually changed from a gigantic dragon into a young woman, then into a silver-haired little girl.

"I'll go ahead. Remember what I said!!"

The silver-haired little girl set off on her short little legs toward the outskirts of the Star Dou Great Forest, her destination Shrek City.

"Yes, your subordinate will carry out the task you have entrusted to me!"

Di Tian lowered his head deeply, replying respectfully to the silver-haired little girl.

"Teacher, wasn't Mu Changqing's Martial Soul just... what Martial Soul is this?"

Zhang Lexuan frowned, her expression uneasy, as she looked at Mu Changqing kneeling on the floor. Bei Bei's face was already drenched in tears, his eyes red as he watched his older brother.

As brothers born of the same mother, when Mu Changqing suffered, Bei Bei suffered too.

The instant Mu Changqing's Golden Dragon King Martial Soul let out its roar, Mu En formed his Soul Power into a surrounding barrier that enclosed both Zhang Lexuan and Bei Bei.

Even the Martial Soul of Mu En, a rank ninety-nine Limit Douluo, was affected slightly. Had Mu En not reacted swiftly and protected Zhang Lexuan and Bei Bei, their heads might have hurt unbearably.

"Mu Changqing's Martial Soul was originally the Holy Dragon of Light..."

Mu En increased the flow of Soul Power, sending large amounts of light elements into Mu Changqing's body. The pain within him gradually eased considerably.

Mu En's mind raced, and he finally remembered that the Martial Soul Mu Changqing had awakened was the ancestor of strength, the Golden Dragon.

This was also Mu En's first time seeing a Golden Dragon Martial Soul, and it had appeared in his own descendant.

"His bloodline has reverted to its ancestry, awakening the Golden Dragon Martial Soul, the ancestor of strength."

"The Golden Dragon. In legend, it is one of the two purest and most ancient dragon bloodlines, second in status only to the Dragon God, the ancestor of all dragons."

"The Golden Dragon? Great-great-grandfather, how does my brother's Martial Soul compare to my Holy Dragon of Light Martial Soul?"

Bei Bei wiped away his tears and asked Mu En in his childish voice, full of puzzlement. His question also voiced the doubts in Zhang Lexuan's heart.

This was Zhang Lexuan's first time hearing of the Golden Dragon, though she had heard of the Golden Holy Dragon. Ten thousand years ago, the theoretical master Yu Xiaogang, who had reached fifty without reaching rank thirty, had possessed the Luo Sanpao Martial Soul, which contained a trace of the Golden Holy Dragon bloodline.

By now, Mu Changqing's Golden Dragon King Martial Soul had completely stabilized. He sat cross-legged, harmonizing the Golden Dragon King's power within his body.

Had Mu Changqing's physical body not been so strong, this first Golden Dragon King seal might have taken his life.

"Changqing's Golden Dragon Martial Soul can suppress every dragon except the Dragon God and the Silver Dragon!!"

"The Golden Dragon suppresses the Holy Dragon of Light from start to finish. Bei Bei, you have no chance of defeating your brother!"

"Your brother's Martial Soul also possesses the attribute of ultimate strength!"

Seeing Mu Changqing successfully awaken his Martial Soul, Mu En finally breathed a sigh of relief, a smile on his face. Still, he continued pouring in Soul Power.

"Mm-hmm."

Bei Bei nodded in reply. In his memory, his brother had always been strong. He was delighted that his brother's Martial Soul was stronger than his own.

"Teacher! How does Mu Changqing's talent compare with the successive masters of the Sea God Pavilion?"

Zhang Lexuan held Bei Bei tighter in her arms and voiced the question in her heart.

"As long as Changqing doesn't die prematurely, his talent surpasses that of every pavilion master!!"

"Once Changqing grows up, apart from the Sea God Tang San, who became a god ten thousand years ago, he could be called Shrek's strongest person in ten thousand years!"

"Our Shrek might even produce another god in the future!!"

Mu En spoke with excitement all over his face, his tone utterly firm.

The moment the two terms, strongest and becoming a god, were spoken,

Bei Bei and Zhang Lexuan felt their hearts jolt, and they stared at the person before them in disbelief.

Apart from Shrek's first generation of the Shrek Seven Monsters, who had all become gods ten thousand years ago, Shrek had not produced another god in all the millennia since.

"Yay! My brother has the potential to become a god!!"

Bei Bei jumped out of Zhang Lexuan's arms, dancing with joy. He was undoubtedly happy, as though he had not been the one sobbing earlier.

All three waited for the golden light at the center of the awakening formation to fade.
