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

Chapter 82 I also explode

……

"Can you pinpoint their location?" Xuanming asked.

"Okay, what's wrong?" the Ice Dragon King asked.

Xuan thought for a moment, "Can you help them conceal their presence?"

“It’s already covered,” the Ice Dragon King said.

“I had already tampered with them back in the Star Dou Great Forest.”

Transformed soul beasts are too easily exposed before reaching maturity. Since she wanted to leave these two little rabbits to Xuanming as soul rings, she naturally had to make some preparations.

"What, you... want to take them with you right now?" the Ice Dragon King said.

"Speaking of which, I do have a way to accelerate your growth. If they sacrifice themselves to you in the future while retaining their souls, you can resurrect them after you become a god."

"However, the matter of becoming a god is too bizarre for the mortal world, and they probably won't believe it so easily."

"Moreover, sacrifice requires complete dedication and a willingness to give everything. If there is even the slightest hesitation, it will not succeed."

Although those two little rabbits had good cultivation talent, their bloodline talent was too weak; otherwise, they wouldn't have reached the 100,000-year level and still only be in the mixed zone.

Cultivation is cultivation, and strength is strength. Soul beasts value bloodline most, and the length of cultivation is not that important.

If it is a pure-blooded true dragon, even if it is only ten thousand years old, it is enough to contend with those hundred-thousand-year-old soul beasts of ordinary bloodlines.

“I want to see them,” Xuanming said.

The Ice Dragon King's eyes were somewhat strange. "Brother, you don't mean... you want to get straight to the point?"

As a human being, Xuanming's personality is seriously problematic!
His inherent pride prevented him from doing something that disgusted him!
Even if it means death!

In a race like humanity that has almost no moral boundaries, he is an anomaly.

But as dragons, this arrogance is a necessary quality!

She was willing to take a gamble on Xuanming because of his stubbornness.

Because of his inflexibility, she was able to trust him.

If Xuanming were a shrewd person, she would have killed this kid long ago.

After all, if we are controlled by her today, and pretend to be polite and keep things to ourselves, who knows what this kid will do when he grows up and is no longer under her control?

Those who can yield to interests will also betray them for interests!
The Fire Dragon King initially refused to pay attention to Xuanming for this reason; he didn't want to waste his time on a human who might betray the dragon race.

However, after their interactions, the Fire Dragon King's resistance to Xuan Ming lessened considerably. Especially in the Star Dou Great Forest, Xuan Ming directly broke off all pretense of civility and argued with her recklessly, which made the Fire Dragon King trust him even more.

If someone lacks talent, they can find ways to change it, but if there's a problem with the person, they won't risk raising a tiger that will become their own enemy.

The dragon race can no longer afford even the slightest risk.

……

Not far from the hotel where Xuanming was staying, Arou and Xiaowu hid there to escape the pursuit of the Spirit Hall.

Arou has been in human form for many years and has always lived in the mixed zone. Sometimes she would go to the small town on the edge of the Star Dou Great Forest to contact humans and obtain information. The reason she was discovered by the Spirit Hall this time was because she had accidentally revealed her whereabouts before, which attracted the attention of the Title Douluo.

Although they managed to escape that night, Arou knew very well that a human powerhouse of that level would never let it go. If they hid in the core area, it would only implicate Daming and Erming. Xiaowu had just transformed and needed to come into contact with human energy to grow again, so they had to leave.

Based on her understanding of human cities, Arou chose the Fasno Province, which was the farthest from Wuhun City and the most remote and underdeveloped.

This place is far from developed human cities, and there are almost no powerful soul masters here, making it the safest place relatively speaking.

"Mom, was the one that saved us that night a spirit beast?"

Xiao Wu leaned against A Rou's chest, still feeling lingering fear about what had happened.

"I don't know, but that's a very powerful dragon aura," Arou said.

"It's very similar to the dragon aura that came from the other side of the Lake of Life in the past. I'm not sure if it's a soul beast or a human."

"and……"

Strong soul beasts look down on weak soul beasts like them, let alone the dragon clan, which can be said to stand at the pinnacle of the soul beast race.

It is common for soul beasts to hunt each other, especially 100,000-year-old soul beasts like them who have little combat power but extremely high cultivation. For those soul beasts with strong bloodlines, they are the best supplements. This is the main reason why she has always lived in the mixed area with Xiao Wu and has not approached the core area.

There are many powerful soul beasts in the core area, and there are even more soul beast overlords on the other side of the Lake of Life. If they are unlucky enough to be discovered, they may become food at any time, and even Da Ming and Er Ming cannot protect them.

She chose to flee the Star Dou Great Forest not only to escape the pursuit of those powerful humans, but also to escape the powerful dragons who had saved them that night.

The dragons are very proud of themselves. They saved them that night perhaps because they were unhappy with the three human titled Douluo who had entered the Star Dou Great Forest, or perhaps they were in a bad mood and wanted to stretch their bodies. But it was definitely not out of any kindness!
If they don't escape quickly, even if they aren't hunted by humans, they will most likely become food for that powerful dragon.

"Your vigilance is quite good; no wonder you've cultivated to this level."

A strange yet familiar voice suddenly rang out from outside the window. Arou froze, quickly shielding Xiaowu behind her. The window was blown open by the biting wind, and Xuanming, half-possessed by the Ice Dragon King, climbed in through the window.

"You are……"

Looking at Xuanming, who looked like a child, Arou was a little taken aback.

"What, you don't recognize me anymore?" the Ice Dragon King said.

Although he could no longer unleash the power of a level 99 peak cultivator as before, this simple possession, by adding the aura of the True Dragon Soul to Xuanming's Martial Soul, was still enough to create a show of force.

Of course, you can't use your hands; if you do, you'll give yourself away.

Moreover, this simple possession merely involves Xuanming transferring control of the body to her; her dragon soul cannot significantly affect Xuanming's body, and naturally, there will be no change in appearance.

"Are you... the dragon senior from that night?" Arou asked nervously.

"Don't be nervous. If I wanted to eat you, I would have done it already." The Ice Dragon King sat down on the bed.

"How could we possibly give you the chance to come all this far away?"

Arou remained vigilant, tightly protecting Xiaowu behind her. "So, what does Senior want me to do here?"

"Guess why I saved you?" the Ice Dragon King said.

Arou thought for a moment, then shook her head. "I don't know."

"Look at me now, is there any difference from before?" the Ice Dragon King said.

Arou carefully observed Xuanming's body, "Senior... you've also taken human form?"

"Hmm...more or less." The Ice Dragon King stood up.

"Enough with the nonsense. My purpose in saving you is simple: I'm missing two spirit rings."

"When I need you in the future, you two better behave yourselves and offer yourselves as sacrifices, okay?"

"Sacrifice?" Arou's expression froze.

"What, you're unwilling?" The Ice Dragon King narrowed his eyes.

"Do you think I'm discussing this with you?"

"I wouldn't dare!" Arou lowered her head in a panic.

"Don't worry, I'm not asking you to sacrifice yourselves," the Ice Dragon King said.

“You may offer sacrifices while preserving your souls.”

"Moreover, I am very confident that I can become a god. If I succeed, you can also be resurrected."

"Become a god?" Arou was stunned.

"As a 100,000-year-old soul beast who has also endured the Heavenly Tribulation, you should know that becoming a god is not just a legend," the Ice Dragon King said.

"Of course, this is a very risky business. If I fail, you will all perish with me."

"Senior, I can make a sacrifice, but... can you spare Xiao Wu?" Arou asked nervously.

"Let her go? Why should I?" The Ice Dragon King raised an eyebrow.

"I saved your lives, and you have two sets of 100,000-year soul rings and soul bones. Why do I only want one set?"

The boost from sacrifice is terrifying; it's a comprehensive boost!
Those who accept the sacrifice can even obtain the divinity bestowed upon them by the heavenly tribulation!
That divine essence is extremely precious!

“Senior, if you are unwilling to let Xiao Wu go.” Arou’s eyes narrowed.

"I'll self-destruct right now!"

You will get nothing!

"Self-destruct?" The Ice Dragon King narrowed his eyes.

"You dare to threaten me?"

“Senior, you should also know the power of a 100,000-year-old soul beast’s self-destruction.” Arou’s expression remained unchanged.

"If I were to expose myself, you would definitely not fare well either!"

"You want to take her with you to die?" The Ice Dragon King glanced at Xiao Wu standing behind Arou.

"I'll explode too!" Xiao Wu grabbed A Rou's hand, took a step forward, and looked at the Ice Dragon King with fear but determination.

"I'm not afraid of death!"

"..."
