Chapter 19 The Call of the Silver Dragon King
Yes, that handsome man with black hair reaching his heels is none other than the strongest being in the world today, the Beast God Di Tian, whose true form is the Golden-Eyed Black Dragon King, the leader of the Ten Ferocious Beasts of Douluo Continent. He is the ruler of the Star Dou Great Forest, the true King of Beasts.
This peerless ferocious beast, arguably the strongest in the world, was facing the voice coming from the Water of Life with a salute similar to that given to soldiers in human armies.
Is there anything in this world that is worthy of Di Tian's utmost respect and worship? This matter alone is enough to cause panic throughout the entire Soul Master world.
"My lord, do our dragon race still have pure-blooded descendants on the continent? I will go and bring them to you immediately."
Di Tian's eyes were filled with excitement, and as golden light burst forth, a powerful aura spread outwards.
"No, that aura is still very weak, and it's mixed with things that even I can't see through. I tried to summon it with my bloodline, but it vanished instantly. There's no need to force it. My cultivation has reached its most crucial moment. I won't awaken again for ten thousand years. Ten thousand years later, when I awaken again, the Dragon Clan will rebuild its dynasty that rules over all races."
"Yes," Di Tian obediently lowered its head, but a hint of wild joy flashed in its eyes. It had waited far too long for these words—ten thousand years, which was but a fleeting moment in its long life.
The darkness gradually dissipated, and the ripples on the lake disappeared completely. But if someone could come here and have good enough eyesight, looking down through the clear, deep water, they would discover a mirror-like surface at the source of a spring, some meters below.
In the mirror, the reflections of the two silver moons slowly disappeared.
Those were vertical pupils.
The surging tide of soul power gradually subsided, the silver light on Kong Tianxu's body receded, and his eyes slowly opened.
Emerging from his state of enlightenment, without immediately experiencing the enhancement brought about by this advancement, he first looked towards the depths of the Star Dou Great Forest.
Just now, he clearly felt a call coming from the depths of the Star Dou Great Forest.
While possessed by the Silver Dragon Martial Soul, he felt a faint sense of being suppressed by that call from who-knows-where. Although the Myriad Origins Domain quickly isolated that call, even in that brief moment of contact, his bloodline still stirred with a desire to submit.
How is this possible? If a scholar who understands dragons were here, he would find it unbelievable.
Silver Dragon is already the noblest of the dragon race. Even if the strongest dragon that is left today, the Golden-Eyed Black Dragon King Di Tian, who has cultivated for 820,000 years, were to come in person, there would be no way he could suppress him in terms of bloodline!
But Kong Tianxu knew very well why. His vertical pupils returned to their original form, and he gazed into the depths of the forest with a deep look, as if he wanted to look through this boundless sea of trees to the deepest part of the Lake of Life in the center of the forest.
There, there is a true beast god, who is also the absolute superior of his martial soul: the dragon royal family, the common master of soul beasts—the Silver Dragon King.
The Silver Dragon Martial Soul is both an aid and a shackle, Kong Tianxu pondered in secret.
Not to mention that he had already considered the Di Tian Soul Ring and Soul Bone as his own, and that the Silver Dragon King would inevitably show up to obstruct him, he simply could not accept the existence of something that was inherently countered by him.
Fortunately, his memory of the original plot was extremely clear after he transmigrated. He knew that even though the Silver Dragon King, as a half-dragon god, was at the very top of the dragon bloodline pyramid, there were still beings on par with him in the dragon race.
In addition, his years of collecting countless dragon-related texts have made the path of evolution crystal clear in his mind.
Seeing that Kong Tianxu had exited the state of his fourth soul skill, Kong Deming, who had been guarding him the whole time, finally spoke up and asked.
"What a powerful, all-encompassing support-type soul skill! The concentration of spiritual energy in the surrounding world has at least doubled. With this soul skill, Xu'er, your soul power recovery speed in battle will probably be almost the same as that of meditation. What's the name of this soul skill?"
"Not only that, this range-enhancing soul skill is essentially a range-expanding but weakened version of the Myriad Origins Domain. With this soul skill, as long as the surrounding天地元力 (heaven and earth elemental energy) doesn't run out, I probably won't need to use the baby bottle anymore. Moreover, this soul skill seems to be able to be used for amplification in battle and in daily cultivation."
Kong Tianxu couldn't help but laugh out loud as he spoke. His first three soul skills were all attack and control types, and coupled with the innate abilities of the Silver Dragon Martial Soul, his combat methods were more than sufficient. The only problem that had ever bothered him was the issue of stamina.
While high-level, high-age soul rings undoubtedly grant him immense power in his soul skills, they also consume a terrifying amount of energy. Even with his vast total soul power, he can't withstand more than a few uses.
While the Myriad Origins Domain could alleviate this problem to some extent, with Kong Tianxu's current cultivation level, he could only cover the surface of his body at most, and its effect was limited. However, now with the help of the fourth soul ring of the Immortal Spirit Grass, his cultivation speed had increased, and he no longer needed to use every drop of soul power as carefully as before.
If he were to encounter Xu Yunxiao and his group again now, he would be absolutely confident that he could wipe them out without even having to use his most desperate, all-or-nothing skills.
The young man suppressed his smile, thought for a moment, and continued, "As for the name, I'll call it Holy Essence Gathering."
"Holy Yuan Spirit Gathering?"
Kong Deming pondered the name for a moment, then casually tossed something to Kong Tianxu, saying, "It's quite fitting."
The emerald green light cast a strange shadow in the air, which Kong Tianxu caught steadily.
Upon closer inspection, it was a bright green seed, or perhaps a tender sprout, with a very peculiar shape. Yet, it seemed strangely familiar to Kong Tianxu, as if he had just seen it not long ago.
Huh? This looks like...
"After I killed that Azure Phosphorus Nine Absolute Flower, its entire body, including its eighty-one leaves, turned gray and withered. Strangely, it did not form a spirit ring. The only difference was that this seed looked very much like the tenth leaf."
Kong Deming clicked his tongue in amazement. This was the first time he had ever encountered the Azure Phosphorus Nine Absolute Flower, which evolved from the Azure Phosphorus Seven Absolute Flower, in reality. Moreover, it was a plant with over 90,000 years of cultivation. He didn't know what kind of plant it was, but he had some vague guesses in his mind.
Kong Tianxu had just mastered a new element, and now was the perfect time to put it to use. A flash of emerald light appeared in his eyes, and the deep emerald seed also emitted the same emerald light, its tightly wrapped skin cracking open.
Suddenly, a strong spiritual fluctuation emerged from it. As if sensing that it was being spied on, the seed emitted a bright, deep green light that instantly overwhelmed Kong Tianxu's power.
As the skin was re-wrapped, that soul fluctuation vanished in an instant.
