Douluo: Emerald Poison King

Chapter 42: Three Thunderbolts Shatter the Dream of Transforming into a Dragon
With mixed feelings, after receiving the invitation from Prince Xue Qinghe, Chen Ming entered the room and quickly opened the box. He held the piece of debris in the box in his arms and began to search it carefully from top to bottom.

But when he touched it, Chen Ming was dumbfounded.

Soul power was slowly injected, and the stone absorbed it but did not give any response. Mental power was slowly probed into it, and the stone also absorbed it but did not give any response.

You want to say he is a dead thing? Chen Ming could still vaguely sense that there was an inestimable vitality hidden inside this stone.

But you want to say that this thing is alive? Chen Ming also couldn't feel the most important "spirituality" of a living thing.

The spirituality inside this thing is probably at the level of the blue silver grass on the roadside, much lower than the ornamental plants in his yard. Some metal ores that Chen Ming had seen before had higher spirituality than this pile of debris.

Chen Ming thought about it, looked around and found no other problems, then returned to the quiet room, hugged the wreckage, rested his forehead on the wreckage, and began to try to mobilize his spirituality, wanting to observe the essence of the wreckage in a way that was different from the soul masters of Douluo Continent.

Once, twice, three times…

Five times, ten times, twenty times...

The spiritual mobilization was not always successful, and even if it was successful, the debris did not have any special reaction. It was not until Chen Ming's attempt failed and his originally calm mood began to show impatience that the debris, which had been like a dead object, finally reacted.

At this time, Chen Ming suddenly had an epiphany.

“For spirituality, it is not necessarily necessary to be as calm as possible. Perhaps emotions are also a correct direction for development.”

As soon as Chen Ming thought of this, he seemed to be pulled into another world. What appeared before him was a story that had happened on this continent.

An unknown number of years ago, the sky collapsed, and the dragons that were originally in the God Realm fell to the Douluo Continent.

The dragon's body was shattered, and its dragon blood soaked the earth, nourishing the earth while also giving rise to countless dragon blood subspecies.

The body of a giant dragon is a treasure. A piece of dragon scale or a bit of flesh and blood can transform a low-level soul beast.

After the death of some giant dragons, their dragon souls could still be attached to the dragon balls. Although their bodies were broken, they could still protect the dragon balls, which were the most important to the dragon race, from being harmed. However, for some unknown reasons, a small number of giant dragons did not even leave behind a little dragon soul, and the dragon balls in their bodies, which were the most important to the dragon race, also shattered as they fell.

In that era, a giant blue dragon fell to the ground, its body shattered, and its dragon ball shattered. The dragon energy and dragon blood that escaped transformed everything, and a nest of centipedes that originally only had a little dragon blood had some characteristics of a blue dragon.

This nest of centipedes is the first batch of blue sky jade dragons.

After a short period of time, at least a short period of time according to the soul beasts' concept of time, the bodies of the giant dragons that were originally scattered all over the continent were gathered by an unknown force, leaving only some remains and a few complete dragon skeletons left outside.

When a dragon falls, all things come to life. Countless dragons have fallen on the Douluo Continent. For ordinary soul beasts, this is a great fortune.

The Qingtian Jade Dragon Clan, who inherited some of the blood and dragon energy of the Azure Dragon, completely changed their race by devouring other soul beasts transformed by dragon blood and the remains of the dragon clan on the continent, making them infinitely close to a pure-blooded true dragon.

But later, something happened that none of the soul beasts expected.

At some point, a restriction had been added to the world that originally belonged to soul beasts. When a soul beast's soul power reached a certain level, a thunderbolt filled with destructive power would fall from the sky, splitting the soul beast into ashes, and only a few lucky ones could survive.

And for some unknown reason, although there are many Qingtian Jade Dragons, none of them can successfully break through the thunder punishment. The Qingtian Jade Dragon clan, which was born from the fall of the giant dragon, was almost completely wiped out by thunder, leaving only a few second-generation and third-generation dragons. The remaining Qingtian Jade Dragons reproduce slowly, and once they break through to a certain level, they will be destroyed by thunder.

After an unknown amount of time had passed, when the Blue Sky Jade Dragon was about to disappear, a special newborn was born among the tribe.

As the age of the Jade Dragon of Blue Sky increases, the dragon energy in its body increases and becomes more refined, and it will become closer to the Azure Dragon, and it will take 90,000 years for its head to completely turn into a dragon head. As soon as this newborn was born, it had a dragon head on its body, and it was born with strong wisdom.

As the age of the Jade Dragon grew, it was unwilling to die in a thunderbolt, so it headed to the Great Xingdou Forest to seek help from the legendary Beast God Di Tian.

After a big fight, he found the legendary beast god, the golden-eyed black dragon king Di Tian, in the depths of the Xingdou Great Forest. However, in the face of his inquiry, the legendary beast god refused to give an answer, but just asked him to wait, saying that there might be a way soon.

The Jade Dragon of the Blue Sky thought that it must be the Golden-Eyed Black Dragon King who looked down on a bastard like himself who had the chance to obtain the blood of a true dragon. So he held a grudge and sneaked into the Star Dou Great Forest again to look for a solution.

During the search, he discovered a soul beast called the Emerald Swan. This soul beast possessed powerful vitality and might be the opportunity for him to break through the 100,000-year mark.

So, while all the ferocious-level soul beasts gathered under the Lake of Life, doing something unknown, he attacked and killed several nearly 100,000-year-old emerald swans that had gathered together for unknown reasons. He escaped from the Star Dou Great Forest under the siege of a group of soul beasts and hid in a small place without any special features.

Under his refining, the vitality of several nearly 100,000-year-old emerald swans turned into a piece of metal that seemed to be the size of a human little finger. This metal was extremely mysterious and filled with seemingly endless vitality.

With this vitality, he reversed the death attribute in his body into life. However, although he was getting closer to Qinglong, he was one step closer to the 100,000-year mark, as if he could feel the breath of destruction at any time.

He decided to go all out and returned to the place where he was born. He devoured all his fellow tribesmen and soul beasts with the same bloodline, and then returned to that small place again, preparing to break through the hundred thousand years of thunder tribulation.

only…

The 100,000-year thunder tribulation he faced was different from the thunder tribulation faced by ordinary soul beasts. It was almost endless, without any vitality, without any bottom line, and everything was just to destroy it.

Generally, the thunder tribulation of a hundred thousand year soul beast only lasts for a few hours, and a few last for nearly a day. He had already prepared himself to be struck by thunder tribulation for three days and three nights, but in fact, there were only three thunder tribulations.

The space was shattered, the heaven and earth were weeping, and all things lost their color. That was the power of a god.

That was not the kind of thunder tribulation that any soul beast should encounter. It did not leave even the slightest hope of life, but was pure destruction.

The first thunderbolt shattered his soul power and scales, and also shattered the near-extreme life and death attributes and the deadly poison in his body.

The second bolt of lightning turned his body, which was almost identical to that of a blue dragon, into ashes, leaving a huge wound on the ground.

The third thunder descended and hit his dragon pill. Even with the vitality provided by the gold of living things, his dragon soul completely dissipated. The dragon pill and the gold of living things became one and fell to the ground like a meteorite.

Three thunderbolts shattered the dream of the Azure Jade Dragon to become a divine beast. At the moment of death, he finally understood that he was just one of the millions of ants.

This era does not belong to any soul beast.
