Douluo Continent: After Ten Thousand Years of Silence, I Was Exposed by the Sky.

Chapter 83 Martial Soul Evolution: Fire Dragon King! Soul Power Breakthrough, Level 99, Demigod! (Please continue reading!)

Ji Ruxue's clothes fluttered in the high temperature; if it weren't for the fact that this phoenix robe was a top-tier soul tool, it would probably have already turned to ashes.

"Xue'er!"

Just as Ji Ruxue was swaying and almost lost her balance, a anxious and magnetic voice suddenly rang out.

The next moment, a pair of strong hands firmly supported Ji Ruxue's fragrant shoulders.

A gentle, mellow soul force, as all-encompassing as the earth, flowed continuously into her body, helping her temporarily suppress the restless fire poison.

The newcomer was dressed in a purple-gold dragon robe and wore an imperial crown. He had a handsome and resolute face, and his brows exuded an aura of imperial authority that commanded respect without anger.

It was Wei Yun.

Wei Yun's eyes were filled with undisguised concern and heartache.

"Husband..."

Ji Ruxue opened her eyes with difficulty and saw that familiar face. Her nerves, which had been tense from fighting against the violent energy, relaxed a little, and a tenderness that belonged only to him flashed in her cold eyes.

"This inner core truly lives up to the name of the Fire Dragon King... I need to immediately go into seclusion to refine it; its energy is terrifying..."

Ji Ruxue's voice was weak and trembling, and waves of heat surged through her body, as if to melt her from the inside out.

The essence of the peak Fire Dragon King, that's incredible!

At his peak, the Fire Dragon King was a god-king.

Furthermore, it incorporates ten Fiery Sun Serpents.

Although the Ten-Headed Fiery Sun Serpent is not even comparable to a single scale of the Fire Dragon King, it must be extraordinary to have been unified by the Heavenly Curtain and transformed into the 'Ten-Headed Fire Dragon King'.

Once Ji Ruxue has finished refining, at the very least she will be able to create her own divine position and become a god.

Wei Yun was startled as he felt the astonishing heat emanating from his palm.

Wei Yun could clearly feel the surging fire element within Ji Ruxue's body, and he was astonished.

But he did not back down at all; instead, he hugged Ji Ruxue even tighter.

"Very well! I will protect you from now on!"

Wei Yun acted decisively, waving his hand, and a powerful soul force barrier instantly enveloped the entire hall, isolating it from all external detection and interference.

"Reveal my imperial edict!"

Wei Yun's voice, imbued with soul power, resounded throughout the ears of the entire Imperial Guard.

"The Empress shall immediately go into seclusion!"
No one is allowed to approach the main hall!
Anyone who disobeys this order will be executed immediately!

"yes--!!!"

Outside the palace, thousands of imperial guards responded in unison, their voices shaking the heavens.

Inside the main hall, the atmosphere instantly became solemn and quiet.

Wei Yun helped Ji Ruxue sit down cross-legged. He did not leave, but sat down cross-legged three feet in front of her, his eyes bright and focused, watching Ji Ruxue's every move.

"Xue'er, focus on refining it."

I will protect this land for you, and I will safeguard this palace for you.

Even if the sky falls, I'll hold it up for you!

Wei Yun's voice wasn't loud, but every word was firm and resolute, carrying an undeniable conviction.

Looking at the man before her, Ji Ruxue felt a surge of warmth in her heart.

To outsiders, she was the aloof and icy Empress of the Empire, a ruthless and decisive ruler. But to Wei Yun, she was simply a beloved wife.

"Mm." Ji Ruxue nodded gently, a beautiful smile curving her lips.

Ji Ruxue took a deep breath, slowly closed her eyes, and formed a strange hand seal.

boom!
In an instant, the long-suppressed, terrifying heatwave erupted completely!
Behind Ji Ruxue, the enormous phantom of the blazing holy dragon reappeared.

Unlike on the arena, the dragon's shadow was now more solid, and its original crimson-gold scales began to turn into a more noble dark gold.

Most shockingly, on either side of the dragon's original head, nine enormous fleshy growths writhe wildly, as if something is desperately trying to burst out.

Pain, intense pain.

That was the ultimate pain of bone restructuring and blood vessel remodeling.

Ji Ruxue's brows furrowed tightly, and her body trembled violently, but she remained silent, clenching her teeth.

Seeing his wife's pained expression, Wei Yun felt as if his heart was being torn apart, but he knew he couldn't interfere at this moment. This was an opportunity for Ji Ruxue, and a hurdle she had to overcome.

All he could do was unleash his martial spirit aura without reservation to create the safest possible environment for her, and be ready to rescue her if she lost control.

Time passed by minute by minute.

The temperature inside the main hall had reached an alarming level, causing even space itself to distort and warp.

Inside Ji Ruxue's body, the inner core of the Ten-Headed Fire Dragon King was being peeled away, absorbed, and assimilated little by little.

A divine radiance originating from the primordial 'primordial era' began to faintly appear on Ji Ruxue's body.

(The Ten Fiery Sun Serpents are all said to be primordial species, so it's reasonable to say they're from the ancient primordial era, right? (doge.jpg))
Inside the main hall, red light filled the sky.

The once incredibly sturdy palace floor was now cracked inch by inch by the scorching heat emanating from it, with a faint crimson glow like magma seeping through the cracks.

At this moment, Ji Ruxue was at a crucial stage of the refining process.

The inner core of the Ten-Headed Fire Dragon King floated in her dantian, like a miniature blazing sun, constantly releasing an extremely domineering fire.

This flame contained the primordial dragon fire of fragments of God-King level laws, each strand of which was as heavy as a thousand pounds, frantically eroding Ji Ruxue's meridians and bones.

"Well……"

Ji Ruxue groaned, her delicate brows furrowed, and her beautiful face was covered with fine beads of sweat, which were instantly evaporated by the high temperature.

The pain is immense, but the rewards are equally astonishing.

Under the infusion of this terrifying energy, Ji Ruxue's originally indestructible level 98 soul power bottleneck became as fragile as paper and was broken through in an instant!

boom!
A vast and boundless aura erupted from her body, instantly sweeping across the entire hall.

Level 99!

Extreme Douluo!

But this is just the beginning.

As Ji Ruxue broke through her soul power, the illusory image of the Blazing Sacred Dragon behind her roared to the sky, its voice filled with pain and longing.

The original dark gold dragon scales began to peel away piece by piece under the tempering of the extreme fire, and in their place came a crystal clear, ruby-like, and ancient red dragon scale.

The dragon's horns became thicker and more rugged, and its body swelled up. The original aura of "holiness" was completely burned away, replaced by the majesty of a "king" who was the only one who could rule over all fire!

Martial Soul Evolution - Fire Dragon King!

Ji Ruxue's aura did not linger at the initial stage of level 99, but surged again the moment the Fire Dragon King Martial Soul took shape!

Level 99, Intermediate...High-level...Peak!
Until that seemingly insurmountable barrier between mortals and gods became within reach of her.

Demigod level!
At this moment, Ji Ruxue was surrounded by a faint divine radiance, and the soul power within her body had begun to undergo a qualitative change.
