Ruan Mei did not stop and walked straight toward the Silver Dragon King's enormous body.
As the distance closed, the details of the Silver Dragon King became clearer. Each silver scale was like a meticulously crafted crystal, with different attributes of light subtly flowing within. However, due to its severe injuries, most of the scales were somewhat dull in luster. In particular, the blood-red wound on its back that ran through most of its body created an extremely glaring contrast with the surrounding perfect silver-white.
As Di Tian watched Ruan Mei approach, he instinctively spoke, "My lord..."
The Silver Dragon King did not speak up to stop it.
Those purple dragon eyes remained fixed on Ruan Mei.
She also wanted to see what this person, whom even she couldn't understand, was planning to do.
Ruan Mei approached the Silver Dragon King without showing the tension one would expect when facing a supreme dragon. She raised her hand, her fingertips gently touching a scale on the side of the Silver Dragon King's neck.
The Silver Dragon King's eyes flickered slightly.
The next moment, a very special force entered his body through the point of contact.
The power was not aggressive; it simply spread rapidly along the scales, flesh, and veins, like an invisible net sweeping across the entire body.
The Silver Dragon King instinctively tried to stop it, but stopped as soon as he raised his hand.
Because she could sense that the power was indeed just perception.
Nguyen Mai's palm moved slowly along the silver scales.
"Don't worry about it."
A clear, calm voice echoed through the lakebed.
"This is my work habit. By directly contacting living organisms, I can more accurately perceive life activities and understand the biological structure and energy cycle of the target."
The Silver Dragon King did not answer.
As a life form created after the Dragon God split apart, her body is vastly different from that of ordinary Soul Beast. It contains multiple elemental powers simultaneously, and its life structure is unmatched by any other dragon race in the Douluo Continent.
But in those few short seconds, she had a strange feeling.
It felt as if Nguyen Mai was disassembling and examining her body bit by bit.
Nguyen Mai did not linger on the scales for long.
She walked backward along the Silver Dragon King's body and soon arrived near the most serious wound.
Upon closer inspection, the injury appeared even more horrifying than it did from a distance.
Numerous silver scales shattered along both sides of the wound, and although the bleeding from the deep flesh had long since stopped, it could not completely heal. Sisi of dark red energy entangled within the wound, constantly eroding the newly formed tissue. Whenever the life force attempted to repair the injury, that force would tear the newly healed parts apart again.
Nguyen Mai stood beside the wound for a while.
Di Tian stepped forward, his tone heavy. "This is the wound left by the Asura God. After our lord escaped from the Divine Realm back to the Douluo Continent, this power has remained in his body ever since. We have tried many methods, and the Soul Beast Clan has even used every rare and precious material they could find, but none of them can remove it."
His gaze fell on the dark red light.
"Over the years, we can only rely on the immense life force gathered by the Lake of Life to gradually wear down the Asura Divine Power. Although its recovery speed is not fast, it is extremely stubborn. As long as there is even a trace left, the wound cannot truly heal."
Nguyen Mai extended her hand.
Di Tian was still speaking, but he suddenly stopped talking after seeing her actions.
"Ms. Nguyen Mai!"
Her hand had already fallen.
Moreover, it didn't land on undamaged scales.
It was precisely the area where the Asura Divine Power was most concentrated in that wound.
"What!"
Di Tian's expression changed instantly.
That's the power left behind by the Asura God!
Even though it had been there for countless years, the killing and Destruction properties it contained could still easily tear apart an ordinary Titled Douluo. The entire Soul Beast Clan was helpless against it, but Ruan Mei touched it directly with her hand.
But the situation he had anticipated did not occur.
Nguyen Mai's slender fingers remained intact.
The dark red light within the wound began to fluctuate violently.
As if sensing some kind of danger, the Asura Divine Power that was originally firmly attached to the Silver Dragon King's body actually contracted to the depths of the wound.
Ruan Mei's eyebrows twitched slightly.
With a gentle flick of the fingertip.
A ball of dark red energy was drawn directly from the Silver Dragon King's wound.
Di Tian's pupils suddenly contracted.
The ball of energy was only the size of a fist, but after it separated from the Silver Dragon King's body, it immediately began to struggle wildly. Its killing intent transformed into tiny streaks of blood light that constantly attacked Ruan Mei's palm, and even faintly emitted a piercing vibration.
Nguyen Mai held it up to her eyes for observation.
The Asura Divine Power twisted and contorted, trying to escape from her fingertips.
She only looked at it for a moment.
"That's interesting."
Nguyen Mai sensed the nature of the power contained within it.
"This energy possesses a strong corrosive ability, continuously disrupting the self-repair process of living organisms, and is also mixed with a considerable amount of killing intent."
Di Tian stared intently at the Asura Divine Power in her hand.
Nguyen Mai then added a sentence.
"Although not strong."
Di Tian remained silent for a moment.
Something that has troubled the Silver Dragon King for countless years.
The Asura Divine Power left the entire Soul Beast Clan helpless.
When it came to her, the only evaluation was "not strong".
Ruan Mei did not notice what Di Tian's expression was at that moment.
She took out a small, transparent bottle from her person, opened the bottle, and put the ball of dark red energy inside.
The moment the Asura Divine Power entered the bottle, it immediately became even more violent.
Bang!
The dark red light slammed against the bottle wall.
The bottle remained completely still.
Bang!
The second impact had no effect.
That mass of Asura Divine Power seemed to possess the most basic instinct for danger, frantically impacting the container, attempting to escape back into the outside world.
Nguyen Mai calmly put the bottle cap back on.
The sound of the impact stopped abruptly.
She brought the bottle up to her eyes and looked at it. The dark red energy inside was still surging around, but it couldn't shake the seemingly ordinary transparent container at all.
"This sample can be kept."
Nguyen Mai casually put the bottle away.
Di Tian stared at the bottle that had vanished from her hand, remaining silent for a long time.
If the Asura God knew that his Divine Power had ultimately become someone else's experimental subject, I wonder what his expression would be.
Ruan Mei looked again at the wound on the Silver Dragon King's back.
She raised her hand and gently stroked along the bloody wound.
The Silver Dragon King's body trembled violently.
The dark red light remaining in various parts of the wound seemed to be drawn by some invisible force, emerging one by one from the depths of the flesh.
Then, they began to dissipate.
The Asura Divine Power that had plagued the Silver Dragon King for countless years melted away as quickly as snowflakes under the scorching sun.
The dark red light faded one by one from his back down to the end of the wound.
Di Tian froze completely in place.
For the first time, a noticeable tremor appeared in the Silver Dragon King's purple dragon eyes.
She knew better than anyone how troublesome these Asura Divine Power were.
For countless years, she has spent most of her time fighting against it with the power of her life force. The main reason why her recovery is so slow is that her wounds are always suppressed by this force.
Now, the force that had tormented her for countless years is disappearing.
And it's not something that's slowly worn down.
It has completely disappeared.
Minutes later, the last wisp of dark red light dissipated from the depths of the wound.
The entire lakebed became quiet.
Ruan Mei withdrew her hand and walked up to the Silver Dragon King.
"How?"
The Silver Dragon King closed his eyes.
A massive amount of Divine Power swept rapidly across his body.
The wound is still there.
The physical damage caused by the Asura Sword back then could not be restored out of thin air, but the Slaughter Divine Power that had always lingered deep in the flesh and meridians had been completely wiped out.
More importantly, with the Asura Divine Power no longer an obstacle, the life force accumulated in his body over the years could finally flow to the wound.
The silver flesh began to slowly writhe.
The damaged area showed signs of normal healing for the first time.
The Silver Dragon King reopened his eyes.
When he looked at Nguyen Mai, his gaze was completely different from before.
" The Asura Divine Power has truly vanished."
Di Tian's face immediately revealed undisguised excitement.
The Silver Dragon King remained silent for a moment, then slowly lowered its massive dragon head.
" The Soul Beast Clan will never forget this kindness."
Tell me, what do you want in exchange?
Nguyen Mai thought about it carefully for a while.
Then he raised his head.
"Could you give me some of your blood?"
Silver Dragon King: "..."
Di Tian: "..."
