Douluo: Starting from the Nine-Curved Vine Dragon

Chapter 140 Life Dragon Scale
In the outside world, the sun rises and the moon sets, and the stars move.

In the sealed banyan forest, the Blade of Life that was attached to Lin Rong's forehead no longer had the emerald green color it once had. It had become gray and white, dull and even more inconspicuous than when it was in the form of a Soul-Devouring Knife.

At a certain moment, when the last trace of life energy contained in the Blade of Life was extracted.

There was a sound of "clang".

The gray and dull carving knife fell on the grass, and the handle and blade shattered into countless tiny pieces that were buried in the grass and soil.

In the dim clearing in the forest, as Lin Rong opened his eyes, two dazzling light golden lights flashed by.

The jet-black, clear black eyes turned light gold under the rendering of mental power. If you look closely, you will find that the shadow of the cyan dragon is reflected in the light gold pupils.

A faint dragon roar sounded out of nowhere, and a pure dragon power was released.

The shadow of the dragon soul of the Nine-Curved Vine Dragon appeared above Lin Rong's head, and it turned from virtual to real and hovered in the air in the welcome of the banyan tree forest.

The moon-white scale on its neck exudes a faint green glow, silently telling of its extraordinaryness.

Soon, as his mental power gradually faded, the light golden pupils in Lin Rong's eyes turned back to black, and the cyan-gold dragon shadow reflected in his pupils also disappeared.

"I didn't expect that after the life energy contained in the gold of living beings is exhausted, it will turn into scrap metal?"

Looking down at the gray-white fragments on the grass that shattered at the slightest touch, Lin Rong couldn't help but feel a little regretful:
"I thought that after the life energy was exhausted, the properties of the Life Gold itself that could decompose metals and ores could be preserved, so that we could infuse life force into it and use the Life Blade as a super-large battery."

"Oh, what a pity."

Lin Rong only felt a little regretful about this, so he stopped thinking about it and began to sort out the gains from this retreat.

The Blade of Life contained the vitality equivalent to that of a million-year-old soul beast. The benefits gained after fully absorbing it would undoubtedly be extremely enormous.

Now his physical fitness is strong enough to rank among the top three among all soul masters in the entire continent.

The divinity that absorbed 60% of the life energy of the Living Blade increased explosively.

The divinity merged into the flesh and blood, allowing the body to begin to evolve into a divine body, faintly emitting an immortal glow invisible to ordinary people.

In addition, the quality of mental power has been improved.

In terms of quality, mental strength has completely reached the tangible and material level.

In terms of quantity, the surging spiritual power in the sea of ​​spirit gave Lin Rong absolute confidence that his current total spiritual power would not be worse than the three ninety-nine peerless Douluos in the world, and might even be much stronger than them.

Moreover, because the origin of mental power has been fused with some divinity, a part of the mental power has begun to transform into spiritual consciousness.

The level of this part of mental power is higher than the tangible mental power, but lower than the true spiritual consciousness. It can be regarded as the threshold of just stepping into the half-step spiritual consciousness.

Similarly, the Nine-Curved Vine Dragon's martial soul origin also absorbed some divinity and began to evolve towards a god-level martial soul.

The moon-white reverse scale, or "life dragon scale" on its neck, began to glow after absorbing 30% of the life energy of the Blade of Life.

The Nine-Bend Vine Dragon spirit was formed by the fusion of the two major spirits, the Dragon Spirit Vine and the Thousand-Leaf Banyan, under the influence of the power of the Marrow Cleansing Sutra. After Lin Rong named it the Nine-Bend Vine Dragon, in the process of absorbing spirit rings to evolve, he was also influencing the evolution direction of the spirit according to his idea.

In the story of the previous life, the Nine-bend Vine Dragon itself is the guardian of the dragon scales of life, and he also referred to the saying "The dragon has a reverse scale, and anyone who touches it will die."

He used the power of the Washing Marrow Sutra to convey this idea and influence the general direction of the Nine-Curved Vine Dragon's evolution when it absorbed the soul ring to evolve.

The moon-white reverse scale on the neck of the Nine-Curved Vine Dragon was completely evolved into a dragon scale after Lin Rong absorbed the fifth soul ring, the Green Wood Twin Lotus.

In the previous battle with Yang Wudi in Yufeng City, the dragon scale shield that was transformed from the dragon scale was actually transformed from this inverse scale.

The current characteristic of the reverse scale is hardness. As for what will happen after the reverse scale is broken, he is not sure, but based on the famous saying "If you touch it, you will die", he can roughly guess what will happen.

With the help of the Banyan Heart, an external soul bone, Lin Rong is not afraid of the side effects after the reverse scale is broken. If the side effects are too strong, he can just commit suicide and then revive with full blood.

Anyway, the cooling time of the life-saving trump card "Transferring Flowers and Grafting Trees" is getting shorter and shorter as the age of the soul bones increases, so he can afford to play it.

But Lin Rong didn't expect that Yang Wudi was useless. His strongest attack failed to break the reverse scale. Instead, the tip of his own Soul-Breaking Spear showed signs of breaking.

Finally, there is the soul bone.

Although the life energy of the Blade of Life was divided into three parts and shared by the physical body, the sea of ​​consciousness, and the divinity, the soul bone in Lin Rong's body also got some leftovers.

Three regular soul bones and two external soul bones.

Of these five soul bones, except for the 100,000-year-old Blue Silver Emperor's right leg bone, the other four soul bones can absorb energy and evolve.

Among them, the external soul bones with the youngest age, the Banyan Tree Heart and the Kong Qingzhu Head Soul Bone, both of which have increased in age from over 20,000 years to over 30,000 years.

The oldest external soul bone, the Emperor's Holy Spear, had an initial age of more than 85,000 years. Before he absorbed the Blade of Life, its age reached more than 89,000 years.

After eating these "leftovers", the age successfully broke the limit of 100,000 years, becoming the second 100,000-year soul bone he owned.

As for the left leg bone of the Thundering Hell Vine, which ranks in the middle in age, its current age is just over 25,000 years old.

Because this soul bone can only absorb the power of thunder to evolve, just like the 100,000-year-old Blue Silver Emperor's right leg bone that cannot evolve, it is not qualified to eat this luxurious "leftovers".

Therefore, the age of the left leg bone of the Thundering Hell Vine has not changed and is still more than 25,000 years old. The Banyan Wood Heart and Kong Qingzhu Head Soul Bones, which had a "big meal", overtook it and fell to the last place in the age ranking of the five major soul bones.

The increase in the age of soul bones has reduced the cooling time of the Banyan Heart Soul Bone skill "Transplanting Flowers and Grafting Trees" from the original ten years to more than two years now.

For a banyan tree heart that is more than 500 years old, the cooling time for grafting is ten years. For a banyan tree heart that is more than 5,000 years old, the cooling time for grafting is more than five years.

Now the age of the banyan heart has been increased to more than 30,000 years, but the cooling time for grafting will take more than two years.

By observing the growth process of the Banyan Heart and the changes in the cooling time of this soul skill, Lin Rong came to a conclusion.
