Douluo Continent: My Martial Soul is the Black Dragon, I am the Lord of the Gods

Chapter 77 Divine Skill: Ice Dragon Possession
……

After resting for a night, Xuanming left the town early the next morning and continued his journey towards the Star Dou Great Forest.

Since there was no road after approaching the forest, Xuanming left the carriage at the hotel and began running forward.

Approaching the Starry Sky Forest, what comes into view is a forest of towering giant trees, with no obvious roads in the dense woods.

According to the teachers at the Heaven Dou Royal Academy, the trees on the edge of the Star Dou Great Forest are at least twenty meters tall. Further in, closer to the Thousand-Year Soul Beast Zone, the trees reach heights of over a hundred meters, blocking out the sun and forming a no-fly zone with their canopies. The vines intertwine like a spider web, and the ground is damp year-round, making it easy to accidentally step into a swamp.

In the Star Dou Great Forest, Soul Masters not only have to face various dangerous Soul Beasts, but also be wary of these dangerous terrains. If they lose their way here, there is basically no chance of getting out.

How much longer do we have to walk?

After entering the Star Dou Great Forest, there was no road at all. The soul beasts were driven away by the aura of the Ice Dragon King, so there was no need to worry. However, Xuanming had to deal with the thorns along the way himself.

"It's only been half a day, and you can't walk anymore?" the Ice Dragon King said.

"I'm hungry." Xuanming plopped down and started eating the dry food he had bought in town.

When he's out and about, he can't even eat as much as he wants; the little food he eats in the hotel is practically nothing.

This dried meat isn't good either; it's tough, and there's way too much salt and seasoning...

"Why don't you eat?"

Seeing Xuanming casually take a few bites before standing up, wielding his blood spear, cutting through the thorns, and continuing his advance, the Ice Dragon King was somewhat puzzled.

"It doesn't taste good," Xuanming said.

"It tastes even worse than what I make. I really don't know how they have the nerve to sell this kind of thing. They have no shame at all."

"I remember the shopkeeper told you that this dried meat was meant to be boiled," the Ice Dragon King said strangely.

"..."

"so troublesome."

……

Before we knew it, night fell.

After a day of trekking through the jungle, Xuanming was exhausted.

Moving around in the forest was far more tiring than he had imagined; the Starry Sky Forest was completely different from the small groves he used to frequent.

Moving around here, there's not a trace of tranquility in returning to nature; it's all about constantly clearing a path! Clearing a path! Clearing a path!
"How much longer do we have to walk?" Xuanming asked.

"Almost there, just a little further," said the Ice Dragon King.

Xuanming sighed, took out a pottery jar, put water and dried meat into it, held the jar with both hands, and then controlled the black dragon on the left to breathe fire at the bottom of the pot.

The Ice Dragon King and the Fire Dragon King merged part of their dragon soul power into his soul, giving him the ability to control ice and fire. Although the fusion of the dragon souls is not yet complete, it is still very convenient to use it for food.

"It doesn't taste so bad after all..."

While eating the boiled dried meat, Xuanming felt he should take back what he had said during the day.

"Would you like some?" Xuanming picked up a piece of meat and looked at the Ice Dragon King who was quietly watching him from the side.

When no one is around, the Ice Dragon King will appear before him in the form of a dragon soul phantom, but most of the time, she resides in the black dragon on his right. The black dragon's eyes have been affected by the power of the dragon soul and have turned ice blue.

The black dragon on the left was also affected by the Fire Dragon King's power, its eyes turning crimson gold.

"No need, you eat. You've been starving all day," said the Ice Dragon King.

“If you eat it, it’s the same as me eating it,” Xuanming said.

The Ice Dragon King's eyes were somewhat strange. "It seems so. Then let me try some."

Xuanming picked up a piece of meat and fed it to the Ice Dragon King. "So-so, quite so-so," the Ice Dragon King said.

"No wonder you... um?"

The Ice Dragon King's expression changed as he looked into the distance, his dragon soul rippled.

"What's wrong?" Xuanming asked, puzzled.

"Arrogant!" The Ice Dragon King narrowed his eyes.

"Lend me your body, I want to teach a few people a lesson."

Xuanming's eye twitched slightly.

Heavenly Rank Combat Skill: Possessed by a Ghost?
No, this should be called a divine skill: Dragon Possession.

"Don't do anything reckless, my little body can't withstand your rough treatment," Xuanming said.

"Don't worry, those people are no match for me," the Ice Dragon King said.

"Alright." Xuanming closed his eyes and relaxed.

In fact, the Ice Dragon King could have been directly stolen. If she had been any less shameless, possession wouldn't have been out of the question. But the noble Dragon King disdained such a thing.

The dragon soul completely entered his body, and Xuanming felt a surge of icy power rush into his body. However, he did not feel uncomfortable. Instead, it was as if a clear spring was flowing through his limbs and bones, bringing a strange sense of fullness.

Immediately afterwards, he felt as if he had broken free from the control of his body, watching "himself" slowly stand up from the perspective of an observer. He was surrounded by an ice-blue light, and the power of the Ice Dragon Soul continued to manifest, transforming him into an "ice crystal dragon" that was entirely ice-blue and tens of meters long.

"Why is it only this little?"

The Ice Dragon King was clearly dissatisfied with his current appearance, even somewhat disgusted by it.

After thinking for a moment, the Ice Dragon King's size began to shrink again, transforming into a tall figure over two meters tall, covered in ice crystals and shrouded in frost mist, making it impossible to see its appearance.

"That's alright."

The Ice Dragon King assessed his current state, then vanished from the spot in a flash.

……

The next instant, the figure of the Ice Dragon King appeared above a dense forest, where a fierce chase was taking place below.

Bibi Dong, dressed in a magnificent purple robe and holding a scepter, exuded a chilling aura. Yue Guan and Gui Mei followed closely behind her on either side. The three of them moved through the forest like ghosts, their target being A Rou and Xiao Wu, who were fleeing in panic ahead.

Arou, though petite, held Xiaowu tightly in her arms with a resolute air. Xiaowu's face was filled with terror, and her eyes were brimming with tears.

Despite their best efforts, their speed gradually slowed down as they were pursued by three titled Douluo.

"Hmph, trying to escape!" Bibi Dong sneered, waved her scepter, and a purple light shot towards Arou and Xiaowu.

At this critical moment, the Ice Dragon King's figure flashed and stood in front of Arou and Xiaowu. With a wave of his hand, an ice wall instantly rose from the ground, blocking the purple light.

Upon seeing this, Bibi Dong and the other two were all startled, stopped in their tracks, and looked warily at the mysterious figure in front of them.

"Who are you? How dare you obstruct me!" Bibi Dong's eyes were icy, and her tone was filled with murderous intent.

The figure that the Ice Dragon King had transformed into let out a low laugh: "I despise the strong bullying the weak, and I look down on the many ganging up on the few. And you have done just that!"

Yue Guan frowned and shouted, "How dare you! This is His Holiness the Pope of the Spirit Hall! How dare you be so disrespectful!"

"The Spirit Hall? Never heard of it." The Ice Dragon King curled his lip in disdain.

Bibi Dong narrowed her eyes slightly, secretly on guard. She sensed an extremely powerful aura emanating from this mysterious figure, even stronger than her own.
