Once Qi Ling was ready, the Dragon Maiden stepped forward and tapped his forehead, injecting a stream of power into his body to guide the Qi Ling Dragon God's power in.
Then, dark clouds began to gather above Dragon God Island. The usually calm and windless Dragon God Island was suddenly swept by howling winds, accompanied by lightning and thunder, creating a scene of impending storm.
Seeing the changing celestial phenomena around them, everyone felt a chill in their hearts. The Soul Ring that Qi Ling was about to receive was clearly a powerful Soul Ring that they could not even imagine. However, this also meant that Qi Ling would face enormous risks.
Then, from the increasingly dense dark clouds, a dragon's roar suddenly resounded, exactly the same as the sound everyone had heard when they first entered Dragon God Island, carrying boundless majesty, as if recounting its past glory.
Then, a shocking scene unfolded: above the clouds, an enormous dragon's head suddenly emerged, its diameter far exceeding the size of Dragon God Island, making everyone feel infinitely small in its presence.
"Don't panic, everyone. Look carefully. That's not a real dragon, just a phantom." The Dragon Maiden Dragon Maiden everyone, and only then did they snap out of their shock and realize that it was indeed just a phantom in the clouds.
The Dragon Maiden's reminder was not superfluous, but rather absolutely necessary. This was because the appearance of the dragon's head brought with it a tremendous sense of awe, shaking the hearts of everyone present.
It was under this immense shock that a sense of insignificance arose in everyone's hearts, which is why their senses became so dulled that they couldn't even see that what was in front of them was just a phantom.
If things continue like this, everyone's minds will be affected, and they may even be left with psychological trauma, causing extremely serious consequences. That's why the Dragon Maiden had to remind everyone to keep their minds clear.
Then, the enormous dragon head swooped down and swallowed the entire Dragon God Island whole. Although they had experienced something similar before, this still made everyone turn pale and feel extremely uneasy.
However, immediately afterward, the enormous dragon head began to gradually become transparent and disappeared into the air, turning into countless golden starlight, which then converged towards Qi Ling in the center, eventually forming a Soul Ring above his head.
To everyone's disbelief, Qi Ling's Soul Ring, when it was first formed, was an incredibly brilliant gold, radiating a golden light that was impossible for anyone to look directly at. After a long while, it dimmed slightly, allowing everyone to see it clearly.
Gold, and such a brilliant gold at that, could only mean one thing: the unique color of Million-Year Soul Ring! This undoubtedly means that the God-Given Soul Ring Qi Ling obtained was already a million years old at its very beginning!
Starting with a million years, that's what it means for your end to be someone else's beginning, and not even halfway there! Compared to that, the Five-Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Ring that Zhu Zhuqing just painstakingly obtained seems rather insignificant.
Then, Qi Ling's clothes suddenly moved, and the Xuanyuan Sword actually stuck straight into the ground in front of Qi Ling. Immediately afterwards, all three of Qi Ling's domains were activated, adjusting his own condition to its best.
At the same time, all seven Soul Ring on Qi Ling's body lit up. After using all his Soul Power, Qi Ling transformed into Divine Dragon, landing on all fours and letting out a melodious dragon roar.
With that dragon's roar, the Soul Ring on his head shone even brighter, and at the same time, two fine lines gradually appeared on it, and a third fine line was also gradually taking shape!
Million-Year Soul Ring will gain one more golden pattern for every million years it lasts. Now, three golden patterns have appeared on this Soul Ring, which undoubtedly means that the Soul Ring has reached three million years of age!
A three-million-year Soul Ring? Nobody has ever even heard of one, let alone seen one. After all, a one-million-year Soul Ring is already a legend, so how could anyone have ever seen a three-million-year Soul Ring?
"Why hasn't Brother Qi stopped yet? Could it be that he's going to continue trying to get a higher-level Soul Ring?" Xiao Wu asked worriedly, looking at Qi Ling.
Three million years might be an unbelievable dream for others, but for Qi Ling, it was still far from enough! So he showed no sign of stopping and continued to maintain the pressure.
Amidst the heart-pounding pressure, the fourth golden pattern finally appeared slowly. At this point, Qi Ling had basically reached her limit, and even her body was making "creaking" sounds.
If Qi Ling continues to persist, no one can help him, not even the Dragon Maiden, because the Dragon God God's test is something no one can interfere with.
Faced with the choice of continuing or giving up, the system's voice appeared once again. Although she already knew that this was the work of the Dragon God, Qi Ling still listened carefully to the system's explanation.
[Ding! A choice has been detected for the host. Please choose from the following options!]
Option 1: Stop the extreme test, accept the current God-Given Soul Ring, the Soul Ring's lifespan will reach 4 million years, and the reward will be: a 3-level increase in Soul Power Level and a celestial herb;
Option 2: Continue to undergo the ultimate test and attempt to break through the 5-Million-Year Soul Ring limit, with a success rate of 1%! Reward: None.
This is the first time that continuing to test Qi Ling has resulted in a reward that is less desirable than simply giving her up. This undoubtedly shows that this choice is not just a reward, but also a warning! Continuing to persist will be extremely dangerous.
"Hehe, what a pity, Dragon God. Since I was once you, you should know my personality well, right?" Qi Ling chuckled inwardly. "My fate is in my own hands, not in the heavens! What I, Qi Ling, have decided, I will persevere through, even if it means drinking blood and swallowing my broken teeth!"
Therefore, Qi Ling gave up the generous reward and chose the 1% chance option, just to prove that she could do it.
When the pressure reached its peak, Qi Ling felt her bones cracking again, her body reaching its limit. After the first crack, a series of crisp sounds came from her entire body.
Despite such immense pain, Qi Ling showed no sign of giving up, and even after all her bones were shattered, she let out another shout.
With Qi Ling's roar, all the buildings on Dragon God Island were swept away and completely destroyed. The Dragon Maiden, protecting the people behind her, was also astonished by Qi Ling's astonishing destructive power! This was Dragon God Island! To destroy everything here with just a roar—was she dreaming?
But at the same time, the fifth golden pattern finally slowly appeared on Qi Ling's Soul Ring.
