Dragon King Gu Yuena

Chapter 42: Dragon King Gu Yuena

Di Tian and the others neither answered nor made a move.

Instead, they suddenly stepped aside in unison, clearing a path for Little Black.

The seven great fierce beasts orderly retreated to either side.

This scene left Little Black, who had been prepared to take a beating, utterly bewildered.

His mind was full of confusion, unable to understand what they were doing.

Di Tian, Bi Ji, and the other seven great fierce beasts were acting far too strangely.

Little Black stared blankly at them, completely at a loss.

"Master is waiting for you!"

Seeing Little Black standing there, too afraid to move, Di Tian could not help urging him.

Little Black was instantly brought back to his senses and stiffly stepped forward.

Passing Di Tian and Bi Ji, he headed deeper into the Underground World.

As he continued onward, Little Black began to feel a powerful suppression of energy.

What terrifying pressure. This is a deterrence that comes from the soul.

Little Black thought to himself.

The elemental energy in the air grew increasingly dense, and the Tengshe Bloodline within Little Black's body seemed to be faintly awakening.

An ancient and terrifying aura emerged from Little Black's body.

Two black feathered wings also appeared behind him, suppressing the pressure of that energy in return.

After the Tengshe Bloodline within Little Black was activated, the surrounding elemental energy began to draw close to him of its own accord. Nine-Colored Energy illuminated the entire Underground World.

At the deepest point of the Underground World, Little Black saw a sleeping silver dragon before him.

This silver dragon was over a hundred zhang long, incomparably massive.

Of course, that was only from the perspective of Little Black, who had already taken human form.

Before Little Black's thousand-zhang body, it was nothing more than a tiny speck, only as large as one of his snake heads.

If Little Black entered his berserk state, the silver dragon before him would be as tiny as an ant.

"What terrifying Bloodline Power. Even we have been affected!"

"Is this why Master wanted him to come in?" Beside them, Di Tian and the other seven great fierce beasts' expressions changed drastically as they sensed the pressure of the Tengshe Bloodline.

Di Tian's dark, profound eyes fixed on Little Black, and he was once again shocked.

"That aura belongs to a Five-Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast!"

As soon as Di Tian said this, Bi Ji, Zi Ji, Xiong Jun, and the other fierce beasts were all stunned. Seven gazes converged upon Little Black at once.

"Hiss—!" The Myriad Demon King sharply sucked in a breath and exchanged glances with Xiong Jun beside him.

They could both see the deep shock in each other's eyes.

If their memories were not mistaken, Little Black had only been a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast forty years ago.

Yet only forty years had passed, and his cultivation had already reached five hundred thousand years.

Just how had Little Black's cultivation increased so quickly?

Four hundred thousand years in forty years—calling that cheating would not be an exaggeration.

After becoming a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast, every additional ten thousand years was incredibly difficult to attain, requiring immense and terrifying amounts of energy.

Even if Little Black devoured every soul beast in half of the Star Dou Forest, it would have been impossible for him to advance from a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast to a Five-Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast in only forty years.

Di Tian, Bi Ji, and Xiong Jun all felt that Little Black was shrouded in mystery.

In him, they saw the path toward the revival of the soul beast race.

The mystery of his growing strength might even change the fate of their soul beast race, giving them the means to contend against humanity.

Soul beasts possessed powerful bodies and bloodlines, and their combat power far surpassed that of humans at the same level.

But while heaven opened one door for them, it also closed another.

Their bloodlines and bodies were formidable, but their cultivation speed was exceedingly slow.

Human bodies might be weak, but their cultivation speed was far beyond anything soul beasts could hope to match.

A few decades of human cultivation could equal tens of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands, of years for them...!

Little Black had no idea that he had already become a prized treasure in Di Tian and the others' eyes, the hope for the revival of the soul beast race.

His gaze remained fixed on the Silver Dragon King throughout.

He slowly approached and reached out a large hand to touch the Silver Dragon King before him.

Forty years ago, he had already wanted to touch the Silver Dragon King.

Seeing Little Black's outrageous audacity in daring to offend their master, Di Tian and the others could not help growing furious.

Just as they were about to rebuke him, the Silver Dragon King suddenly sent them a voice transmission ordering them to leave.

"Di Tian, all of you withdraw together!"

"I have some things I wish to discuss with him alone!"

It was Master's voice. Master had awakened once again.

Upon hearing this, joy could not help appearing in the eyes of Di Tian, Xiong Jun, and Bi Ji.

It seemed that Master had recovered well. Her previous awakening had been forty years ago.

"Yes, Master!" Di Tian took the lead in giving a slight bow, then turned and left the Underground World with Xiong Jun, making room for the Silver Dragon King and Little Black to speak.

After Di Tian and the others left the Underground World, vast and boundless energy gradually gathered around the Silver Dragon King. A silver holy radiance emerged from her body.

Nine-Colored Energy continuously gathered around her, while a layer of nine-colored halo condensed around her body into elemental power.

Buzz, buzz, buzz—!

The entire Underground World began to shake, and sand and stones fell from above.

An aura that made all beasts submit spread from the Silver Dragon King's body.

The Silver Dragon King slowly opened her silver eyes, fully awakening.

At the same time, a layer of silver Light Cocoon formed around her body, wrapping her completely.

In an instant, the Silver Dragon King's hundred-zhang body vanished, replaced by a human figure.

That human figure was breathtakingly beautiful, with silver hair and purplish-red eyes, a graceful figure, and an aloof air untouched by the mortal world.

Little Black was stunned.

As he looked at the Silver Dragon King, beautiful as a celestial maiden, Little Black felt as though his karmic thread had been stirred.

He could only stare blankly at the Silver Dragon King, Gu Yuena.

How could there be such a beautiful soul beast in this world? Her soul beast form was beautiful, and her human form was beautiful as well.

No, I need to avoid her.

This karmic bond should be borne by Master.

Little Black's thoughts immediately became clear, and he instantly suppressed that fluttering, restless heart.

He fixed his gaze on the Silver Dragon King, wanting to know why she wished to see him.

The other party's strength far surpassed his own. Little Black truly could not understand what about him could possibly have caught her interest.

If there was anything, it could only be the Tengshe Bloodline in his body.

As a soul beast born and raised in the wild, Little Black had only encountered his master, been saved by his master, and then accidentally awakened the Tengshe Bloodline.

Therefore, he had no idea of the true value or terror of the Tengshe Bloodline.

He only knew that it could grant him an increase of ten thousand years of cultivation every year.

And with the Tengshe Bloodline, he did not need to fear the bloodline pressure of any fierce beast.

It also gave him the ability to ride the clouds and command the mist, allowing him to freely manipulate the weather and cause heavenly phenomena.

If he were above the sea, he could directly raise a tsunami.

If he were atop a volcano, he could directly make it erupt.

If he were within a forest, he could directly cause all vegetation to grow.

"You do not need to fear me. I summoned you because I have something to discuss with you!"

The Silver Dragon King's purplish-red eyes turned toward Little Black as her jade-like foot slowly stepped forward.

As her flawless jade foot stepped out, a floating stair entirely formed from Space Power appeared beneath it out of thin air.

Stepping onto the spatial stairs, the Silver Dragon King slowly walked toward Little Black.
