Douluo: Starting from the Nine-Curved Vine Dragon

Chapter 379 Donning the Imperial Robe
The life force required to upgrade the lifespan of spirit rings and spirit bones is simply too much. There is no other way but to upgrade spirit rings. Without absorbing spirit rings, one cannot break through and continue to increase the level of spirit power. Tang San had no choice but to make do with this.

However, one can find a better way to obtain a soul bone once one becomes stronger.

But there's no other way right now; if he wants to survive, he has to absorb this soul bone.

This right arm bone was only a little over seven thousand years old. Tang San quickly absorbed it and then used his soul power to force all the poison in his body into the soul bone.

Click!

A cold glint flashed, and Tang San hardened his heart and used a sharp blade to cut off his own right arm.

"Ahhhhhhh~"

A piercing scream echoed across the wilderness.

The spirit rings instantly appeared, but of the original seven spirit rings, only six remained. Even Tang San's spirit power dropped by ten levels, transforming him from a Spirit Saint into a Spirit Emperor.

Originally, only a Title Douluo could use level 10 soul power to replace death to remove the soul bones from the limbs, but Tang San did this ahead of time with the help of the divine artifact.

After severing his right arm, Tang San quickly pressed several acupoints on the severed area to seal the acupoints and stop the bleeding.

He possesses the Dark Blue Silver Domain, which allows his arm to regrow, but to recover the lost level ten soul power, he needs to absorb a new piece of his right arm bone.

Looking in the direction Tailong had left, Tang San struggled to his feet, his gaze as chilling as a demon from hell.

"Talon! I will search for you until you die!"

……

Half a day later.

Tyrone emerged from the shadows of the forest.

"This is?"

He picked up a twig and poked at a dry, broken arm in front of him.

With its severed arm devoid of any life, the branch easily tore through the withered skin, revealing a unique luster of the soul bone.

"A soul bone? It's this right arm bone!"

Tyrone used a tree branch to remove the soul bone from his severed arm, his face gradually darkening.

He knew about this soul bone. Tang San had once used this soul bone to promise him a bright future, telling him to perform well so that he would be rewarded with it later.

Looking at his once dark blue right arm bone, now filled with a seven-colored luster, Tailong's mind flashed through several images, and he understood how Tang San had used to dispel the seven-colored luster.

"To sever an arm to survive, and even be willing to pay the price with a soul bone, Tang San, you truly deserve to be called a cold-blooded and ruthless demon, so cruel even to yourself!"

Tailong had no greed for this soul bone, and he would not absorb it or let his people absorb it.

Because the soul bone is full of colorful poison, even Tang San's severed arm was completely eroded by this poison, and with his family's revenge still unavenged, Tai Long did not want to lose his life because of it.

After hastily burying the soul bone, Tyrone turned and went ten miles away, leading his clansmen who were guarding there back on their journey back to Tiandou City.

……

Day two.

The first rays of dawn rise.

Today is the day the new emperor of Tiandou is enthroned.

Because of the precedent set by the Sea God Empire, everyone was afraid that what happened in Sea God City in the past would be repeated in Heaven Dou City.

But given yesterday's extraordinary phenomenon that resembled divine intervention, no one dared to disrupt today's ceremony, even if they wanted to.

Unless someone's brain is completely malfunctioning and wants to test the depths of the gods' power. The imperial palace, the emperor's sleeping quarters.

Lin Rong stood in front of the dressing mirror, letting the old butler dress her in an imperial robe.

In Douluo Continent, unlike the previous life, the emperor doesn't wear a dragon robe. Instead, he wears different robes depending on the specific circumstances.

For example, the Xue family, the former royal family of the Heavenly Dou Emperor, had a swan as their martial soul, so their royal attire used a mix of white and gold.

The imperial robe worn by the Heavenly Emperor of the Xue family was predominantly light gold with white trim, and embroidered with white and golden swans.

The Star Luo Empire is white gold in color and has a white tiger pattern, while the Sea God Empire is blue gold in color and has an ocean pattern.

Now, the Lin family has become the new generation of royal family in Tiandou. Lin Rong, as the emperor, wears a royal robe that is a slight modification of the Lin family's traditional clothing.

Lin Rong's imperial robe was blue and gold.

The imperial robe is predominantly made of ultramarine with touches of dark blue. Sky blue vine leaves are embroidered evenly and meticulously throughout. The front features a golden dragon embroidered in the form of a nine-curved vine dragon, while the back features a towering banyan tree embroidered in the same style.

The crown, on the other hand, is the opposite of the royal robe in color scheme. It is predominantly light gold, and the gemstones inlaid in it are also bluish-green, with a hint of green that is barely noticeable unless you look closely.

This design was naturally given specifically by Lin Rong.

Influenced by his past life, he didn't want to have a cuckold's cuckoldry on his head.

Du Qianyuan looked at his well-dressed and distinguished grandson and said with a smile:
"Rong'er, now that you have ascended the throne, do you have someone in mind for the position of Empress?"

"..."

Lin Rong was speechless. The coronation ceremony hadn't even started yet, and they were already pressuring her to get married.

With the old steward Yu Yuan's breakthrough, even if the others coveted the empress's position, they dared not speak out, but since the person who inquired about this matter was their own maternal grandfather.

Therefore, in order to eliminate future troubles, Lin Rong devised a plan:

"I have no one I desire for the position of Empress."

"Grandpa, you can decide for me. I don't ask for much. As long as she can beat me, I will marry her as my empress."

"..."

This time, it was Du Qianyuan's turn to be speechless.

Doesn't he know what kind of ability his grandson has?
Putting aside their true strength, just the part that her grandson showed her was something that few female Soul Masters in the entire Douluo Continent could defeat.

This doesn't even consider age or marital status. The selection of the Empress would definitely require additional restrictions on being unmarried and having a certain age limit, so there wouldn't be a single female Soul Master who meets the criteria.

Moreover, Du Qianyuan couldn't say that the requirement was too high, because if his grandson really loved someone, he could easily let the contest go.

The implication of the grandson's answer was that he wanted to make his own decisions about his marriage and did not want others to interfere.

A moment later, when the old steward had finished dressing Lin Rong in his imperial robes, it was almost time.

The grand imperial procession departed from the palace, passed through the streets of Tiandou City, and finally arrived at a certain place.

The Spirit Hall Main Hall is the highest and largest branch hall of the Spirit Hall located in the Heaven Dou Empire.

The upheaval in the Heaven Dou Palace was caused by the Spirit Hall, and this place was implicated. A group of Soul Masters specializing in architecture worked overtime to transform the Spirit Hall's main hall into the place where the new Heaven Dou Emperor was crowned.

Lin Rong chose this location for his coronation ceremony to demonstrate to everyone that the Heaven Dou Empire was declaring a full-scale war against the Spirit Hall.

His first decree after ascending the throne was to eradicate all Spirit Hall branches within the Heaven Dou Empire. Ordinary Spirit Hall employees within these branches could be pardoned, but those at the core would have their entire families exterminated!
