Douluo Dalu: Seven Kills

Chapter 636 Absorbing a Divine-Level Soul Bone and Breaking Through to a Divine-Level Physique; The Request for Aid Received Upon Returning to the Sect (Part Two)

The moment the Fire Dragon King's right arm bone and the Water Dragon King's torso bone were fully formed, the two remnant souls of the dragon kings imprisoned by Elex were as if they had suffered a severe blow. Not only did their aura instantly weaken, but even the energy that sustained their remnant souls dissipated in an instant.

"call out--"

"call out--"

The Dragon King's form could no longer be maintained, and he transformed into two streams of light that disappeared into his own corpse, falling into silence.

After confirming that the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eye had not suffered any damage to its "foundation" from extracting the two divine bones, Chen Junting focused more on the torso bones and right arm bones floating in the spring water, instinctively moving towards the remains of their respective dragon kings.

So Chen Junting simply reached out, and the two soul bones seemed to be summoned by an irresistible force, flying and shrinking as they flew, circling around his palm like yin and yang fish.

Just as he was sensing the aura contained within, Ilex, who no longer needed to restrain the remnants of the two dragon kings, slowly floated over. Chen Junting, carrying the two soul bones, quickly turned around and sincerely expressed his gratitude, "Teacher, thank you for all this trouble."

Electrolux smiled but did not respond, only saying, "You should absorb these two divine bones quickly, and I will protect you."

"it is good!"

Having said all that, Chen Junting didn't mince words.

With a flick of his palm, the two soul bones seemed to find their home. First, the Water Dragon King's torso bone flew to Chen Junting's front, and with a "whoosh," this crystal-clear soul bone, shimmering with blue and white light, surged directly into his body, carrying energy with it.

In an instant, Chen Junting felt the surging sea, the rushing rivers, and the frigid glaciers connecting with each other, and even his Snow Emperor's left arm bone showed a tendency to merge first.

As the divine bone fused with his body, countless energies seemed to flow into his body from all directions. The moment they entered his middle dantian, they were transformed by the qi core within into pure attribute energy unique to the Seven Kill Sword, continuously expanding his qi sea.

Once Chen Junting could clearly feel that the bones in his original torso, including his spine, sternum, and ribs, were all covered with a layer of blue-white luster, the golden sword sea in his lower dantian also emitted bursts of sword sounds. The crimson blood in his body also began to move towards the golden blood, which strengthened his physique once again, and made him leap towards the final Heavenly Abyss called "God Level"!

Of course, this is not the end.

Watch me add fuel to the fire!

Seeing that the speed of transformation into golden blood gradually slowed down, the right arm bone of the Fire Dragon King, which was absorbed in the next step, also attached itself to Chen Junting's right arm, instantly bringing him into the furnace of the blazing sun, where his entire body was being tempered.

As if an invisible voice rang out, the bottleneck of the demigod level seemed to be nothing under the energy of the two Dragon King Soul Bones, directly bringing Chen Junting to the peak of soul power.

Following closely behind is the boiling of qi and blood.

At this moment, the crimson blood had been completely replaced by golden blood. The golden blood mist emanating from the pores seeped into the spring water, and the already violent nature of ice and fire was further mixed with the sharpness of sword energy.

Now, Chen Junting's lower dantian has reached a critical point. Without any warning, the entire lower dantian suddenly exploded! Terrifying fluctuations spread in all directions of the lower dantian and rapidly expanded, just like the movement of his upper dantian when he broke through to the "Divine Origin Realm".

After an unknown amount of time, a layer of white mist enveloped the lower dantian. The birth of immortal spiritual energy signified a breakthrough in the physical body.

A physical body that has reached this level might be called:
"Divine Body Realm."

Feeling the power emanating from his body, a power that seemed capable of crushing space itself, Chen Junting murmured to himself. Although the name of this so-called realm seemed simple and even somewhat old-fashioned, it did not diminish the immense power of his god-level physique.

Now, he has all his spirit rings and spirit bones!
He has everything he needs now!
"what--"

In an instant, a long roar shot straight up from the bottom of the spring to the sky!

Now that this matter is settled, it's time to go up.

So after asking Elder Yi to go to the spiritual sea in the upper dantian, Chen Junting did not use his soul power. He relied solely on his physical body and simply stepped lightly on the spring water. He was launched like a soul-guided cannonball, as if pressure and resistance did not exist.

At this very moment, on the shore of the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire.

"I wonder when the boss will finish his seclusion?"

The Mad King seemed somewhat unconcerned about the constantly turbulent Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well. Since their leader went into seclusion, this state of the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well had become the norm, except for a few exceptionally large disturbances; they were already used to it.

But just then, Mad King Mo suddenly locked onto the bottom of the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well, his sharp eyes completely different from his usual naive demeanor. He shouted, "It's the boss's aura!"

Even without the Mad King's reminder, the Snow Empress and the others had already sensed that Chen Junting's aura was approaching from above.

Moreover, the aura emanating from Chen Junting...

What a powerful aura!

This thought just crossed Xue Di's and the others' minds.

"Bam—"

Water splashed up, and Chen Junting, who had changed his clothes at some point, landed steadily on the shore. Looking at the four spirits who had been guarding him, his imposing aura had long since subsided, and he opened his arms wide.

With a slight upturn of the corners of his mouth, his tone remained as confident as ever.

"I am back."

……

"So where did Brother Junting go?"

At this moment, Huo Yuhao and his group at the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School were in a state of panic. When he wanted to discuss Dong'er's matter with Brother Junting, he discovered that Brother Junting's aura was not at all in the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School, so he quickly notified Ning Tian.

However, as far as Ning Tian knew, for the past five years, Brother Junting had mostly been in seclusion in the cultivation chamber under the ancient golden tree. Because he rarely left, no one had seen him much during those five years. And now, he's gone!
"What should I do!?"

At this moment, Huo Yuhao was extremely anxious.

However, Ning Tian was much calmer than him.

Because she believed that with her brother Junting's strength, nothing would happen to him, especially since he was in the sect's secluded cultivation room.

There's only one possibility: he went out without permission.

Ning Tian wasn't the only one holding the same view. Huo Yuhao and the others were quite confident in Chen Junting's strength.

Therefore, Huo Yuhao's current worries are certainly related to the disappearance of Chen Junting, but more so to Dong'er's current situation, which can no longer be delayed.

"Do not worry."

Seeing Huo Yuhao so flustered, Wang Dong'er, standing beside him, acted as if she herself wasn't the one about to face the ordeal, instead offering comforting words to Huo Yuhao. But her words couldn't calm him down.

It wasn't until Wu Feng placed a hand on his shoulder, the intense heat of the flames seeming to bring Huo Yuhao back to his senses, that he snapped out of it. "Yuhao, what's the panic? You look nothing like the dignified Spirit Ice Douluo. Knowing Jianren's personality, as long as he doesn't notify anyone, he won't be gone for long and will be back soon."

"You really know me well."

As soon as she finished speaking, before anyone else could speak, Gu Tianchen and Ning Tian suddenly turned their heads to look in one direction, as if they had sensed something at the same time.

Before they could fully react, a familiar yet long-lost voice rang in their ears.

"Brother Junting?!"

Because of his chaotic thoughts, he didn't immediately notice Huo Yuhao's sudden surprise and look up. His mental energy, almost automatically, locked onto Ning Tian's side.

This very lock-on, however, brought Huo Yuhao not only surprise but also shock. His spiritual power had already reached the pinnacle of mortal strength; the next step would be the realm of gods.

However, even under such circumstances, Huo Yuhao keenly realized that if Brother Junting hadn't deliberately revealed his aura, he wouldn't have been able to detect his presence at all with his spiritual power.

This means...

"Brother Junting, your mental strength has broken through!?"

"He broke through!?" ×N
These three words immediately attracted everyone's attention.

As partners, they were naturally aware of the extent of Chen Junting's spiritual cultivation. If he were to break through, wouldn't that mean…

hiss--

Thinking of this, everyone secretly gasped.

Only five years! That's terrifying!
Gu Tianchen frowned, glanced at the open space he had just been looking at, and then looked at where Chen Junting was now, and their eyes met.

So Gu Tianchen asked directly, pointing to the spot he had just been looking at, "I just sensed a spatial fluctuation there. Did you appear there, then conceal your aura and use your mental power to cover your actions?"

Before Chen Junting could answer, Ning Tian gave his answer first. "That's right, that's exactly it." After all, thanks to the connection between the two of them, even though Chen Junting tried to cover it up with his mental power, he couldn't sever the resonance from their hearts.

But now is not the time to talk about these things.

Then, Ning Tian said this after answering Gu Tianchen.

"Yuhao is getting impatient."

In fact, Huo Yuhao had already wanted to say what he wanted to say after he was shocked. But because Brother Gu suddenly spoke up, and Brother Junting was already there, he figured a second or two wouldn't make a difference, so he chose to wait anxiously, jumping up and down.

Realizing it was his fault, Gu Tianchen quickly apologized.

"I'm sorry, Yuhao, it's my fault. Please tell me."

Although he knew it was related to Wang Dong'er, Chen Junting, unaware of the specifics, listened patiently. But then again, five years had passed; could it be that the eighth exam couldn't be delayed any longer?
Chen Junting's reasoning stemmed from their initial understanding of Wang Dong'er's eighth trial: acquiring all the soul bones in her body, breaking through to the Title Douluo realm, and equipping her entire body with soul bones, all without a time limit. Faced with this seemingly difficult yet actually simple test for them, they decided to employ a delaying tactic. They would do everything in their power to extend the deadline for the eighth trial until it could no longer be delayed.

It seems unlikely now.

And indeed, things turned out exactly as Chen Junting had predicted.

Soon, he learned what had happened from Huo Yuhao's account. Since Wang Dong'er returned to Shrek Academy, she had never returned to Haotian Fortress, and the two sect leaders of Haotian Fortress, Niu Tian and Titan, had shown no intention of contacting her.

During this period, in order to implement the strategy of "delaying", Wang Dong'er's cultivation was almost sporadic, and she adopted an extremely negative attitude, not even bothering to look for the soul bone.

To avoid arousing Tang San's suspicion, Wang Dong'er focused her efforts on practicing the moves of the Golden Trident. This allowed her to finally break through to level 83 today.

But this delay lasted for four years, and Haotian Fortress finally sent a message to Wang Dong'er after a long absence. Moreover, the message was sent directly by Niu Tian, ​​and while it contained mostly polite greetings, no matter how Wang Dong'er interpreted it, she, who knew her great-father well, could tell that the implied meaning was completely opposite to the stated message; he had no intention of expecting her return to Haotian Fortress. This letter he sent seemed to be merely a task to be completed.

Realizing this, Wang Dong'er felt uneasy. With this in mind, she continued to stay at Shrek Academy.

Six months later, another letter arrived.

The meaning is roughly the same, but the pressure it conveys is clearly greater than when the previous letter was written.

Then another six months passed, then four months, then three months... letter after letter, the content of the words changed from pleasantries to bluntness, telling her to return to the sect, and even the meaning of the words was no longer to tell her not to go back, the pressure increased step by step, until Niu Tian could no longer help but say that the sect had prepared a lot of "gifts" for Dong'er.

As for what the "gift" is...

That is naturally the soul bone that Wang Dong'er currently lacks.

Once she has replenished all her soul bones, her soul power will inevitably push her cultivation level to level 89. After condensing her soul core, she will break through to level 90 and then absorb the prepared soul rings.

Once the eighth level is passed, it will be time for the ninth level.

The ninth level was precisely the time for Tang San to make his move.

As for whether Wang Dong'er will go back or not...

This was no longer up to him, because if she didn't go back, it would be Niu Tian and Titan's turn to come and pick her up themselves.

"That's it..."

After listening, Chen Junting nodded.

"Then let them come and pick you up in person."

"Huh!?" ×2
Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong'er were both surprised to hear this.

Although they trusted Brother Junting, they were also puzzled by this. Just as Huo Yuhao was wondering, Chen Junting suddenly asked, "Yuhao, have you looked for that person?"

Huo Yuhao, regaining his senses, was first taken aback, then nodded.

"It's relevant, but he didn't get a reply after he went to see the person."

Chen Junting simply said he understood. Then he said to Wang Dong'er, who was standing next to him, "Dong'er, write a letter to your father and tell him that you are now living here at the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School. If he doesn't mind the trouble, he can come and pick you up from here in person."

"what?"
