Douluo Continent: My Martial Soul, the Dragon Abyss Sword, has become its scabbard.

Chapter 42 An Unexpected Success

"Damn it!" the fourth brother roared in pain, but fortunately he only injured his arm and was not in mortal danger.

Ding Quan frowned. The golden dragon didn't seem to be injured at all, or had it recovered in the past few days?

Its aura was indeed weaker after unleashing the attack, indicating that such an attack had been very taxing on it.

"Are you alright?"

"Fortunately, this guy's bloodline pressure is so strong that my reaction speed has slowed down considerably."

The other two Soul Saints attacked simultaneously, but did not release their Martial Soul True Forms.

Two black spirit rings lit up on each of their bodies, and their two spirit skills were exactly the same.

"Sixth Soul Skill - Earth Dragon Rope!" Two voices rang out, and as the soul skill was released, six stone pillars resembling dragon heads rose directly from the ground.

Ouch!

Bang!

The golden dragon roared and then lashed its tail at a stone pillar.

The seemingly solid stone pillar shattered instantly, and the two who witnessed this increased their output of soul power.

The last three stone pillars wrapped around the golden dragon's body, binding it firmly.

Just as the two who had unleashed their soul skills were about to breathe a sigh of relief, the stone pillar suddenly began to crackle!

"My brother and I can't hold it for long!" one of them exclaimed, sensing that his soul skill was being destroyed.

"Don't hold back, cripple it!" the leader said immediately.

"good!"

Ding Quan looked at the people in front of him, who had basically all lit up their soul rings, and couldn't help but look at the bound golden dragon.

Even if this guy has strong defense, he probably can't withstand this damage.

Alas!

The golden dragon emitted a deep sound, and Ding Quan saw two small horns on its head light up.

A golden halo spread out, and a powerful pressure erupted once again.

"What's going on!" Several white-armored Earth Dragon Soul Masters looked distressed, their strength weakened once again.

field!

Ding Quan, who was not far away, also felt a pressure, and then looked solemnly at the area covered by the golden halo.

Ding Quan himself can entrust his essence, energy, and spirit to his martial soul, which allows him to unleash his own aura.

Although this momentum is weak now, it can suppress the opponent, amplify itself, and strengthen its perception of the surroundings, so it can be basically confirmed that it is the prototype of a domain.

Once one's mental strength is honed to a certain level, one can comprehend a domain on their own, just like Ji Juechen ten thousand years later.

The moment Ding Quan saw the halo, he knew that this was a powerful soul skill that even a titled Douluo would find difficult to comprehend: a domain!

Among the three peerless Douluo of this era, all three possess a domain.

Without a domain, even with a 100,000-year soul ring, one cannot cultivate to the level 99 peerless realm on their own.

I never expected that I would see a domain for the first time on a soul beast, but it's understandable that it appeared on this particular soul beast.

It is almost on the path to becoming a true dragon.

"This is a domain skill!" The leader, who was knowledgeable and experienced, exclaimed upon feeling the powerful suppression he was under.

At the same time, they stared in shock at the already cracked stone pillar, which could no longer contain it.

"Take action immediately!"

The six white-armored Earth Dragon Soul Masters immediately took action, their soul skills aimed directly at the golden dragon.

However, the moment they made their move, their expressions changed drastically, and the power of their soul skills diminished.

This domain suppressed his own strength, and there was also the suppression of his bloodline, causing his strength to drop too much.

jump!

The stone pillar crumbled instantly.

Bang!

The six people's soul skills hit the soul beast directly, and the dust kicked up instantly covered the golden dragon's body.

The group stood ready, for they discovered that the oppressive force had not subsided.

"Just keep at it and we'll defend!" the leader shouted.

"Alright!" The group's martial souls were white-armored earth dragons, which had strong defensive capabilities. Although they consumed soul power, they were definitely not as fast as the golden dragon.

The four Soul Saints immediately surrounded the golden dragon.

As expected, there was no injury despite the smoke; the golden dragon showed no signs of damage.

However, the effect of this domain was so powerful that the sixth soul skill, which was previously impossible to break free from, was easily destroyed under the effect of the domain.

What are the effects in this field?

Ding Quan glanced at the golden aura emanating from the golden dragon. Was it meant to enhance its attack power?

With such strong defense, how could a Soul Saint have been allowed to leave if this power was only being displayed for the first time?

"Quan, did you discover something?" Wei'er asked when she saw Ding Quan's expression change.

"With this soul beast's current strength, how did that Soul Saint lead the team to leave?" Ding Quan carefully examined the golden dragon.

He touched the storage soul tool and suddenly realized something.

"Quan, are you looking for something?" Ling saw fire blazing in Ding Quan's golden-red eyes.

Do you remember that scale?

"Scales?"

"Quan, you mean that the Soul Saint last time struck the golden dragon's weak point, causing it to lose a scale?" Ling realized what was going on and also sensed that something was wrong.

"That should be right!" If this golden dragon had this strength a few days ago, that Soul Saint wouldn't have been able to leave at all.

It seems that the attack from that Soul Saint struck the golden dragon's weakness, causing it to dare not pursue.

"No wonder that scale didn't feel strong enough!"

It seems that the location of that scale is its weakness, and also the place where its defense is most vulnerable.

"Seventh Soul Skill - Martial Soul True Body!"

Then, several white-armored earth dragon soul masters released their seventh soul skills, and four huge white-armored earth dragons appeared in the forest.

The other two Soul Masters provided support from the sidelines. Under the influence of their domains, the golden dragon was evenly matched with its opponent.

Ding Quan kept his eyes fixed on the golden dragon. If the fight continued like this, it was only a matter of time before it was defeated.

Its age is not high after all. Although the opponent's white-armored earth dragon is a sub-dragon and is suppressed by its bloodline power, it is still a top-level martial soul.

Adding to the difference in cultivation level, the golden dragon soul beast, without using its initial attack, simply couldn't break through the Soul Saint's defenses.

found it!

A few minutes later, Ding Quan's face lit up with joy.

There was indeed a small scale on the golden dragon's body, but the location of that newly formed scale was somewhat unexpected.

Surprisingly, it was located between the head and neck, roughly one-third of the way down the torso.

Isn't this the snake's vital spot?

Could it be that this golden dragon evolved from a snake?

Ding Quan stopped thinking about it and glanced at the newly grown scale. Once it was fully grown, this might no longer be its weakness.

However, even if the opponent hasn't discovered this weakness, it's already finding it difficult to cope.

The golden dragon also noticed this, but the four Soul Saints surrounded it, making it difficult for it to break through.

If this continues, he will be the one who can't keep up physically.

Its soul power was almost depleted; in Ding Quan's golden-red Xuanhuo eyes, the golden dragon's soul power was decreasing.

Awooo!

The golden dragon's entire body rapidly condensed gold again, and a golden sphere of light appeared in front of its head.

"Fourth Brother! Watch out! Fifth Soul Skill - Holy Dragon Piercing Stone Strike!"

It was the same kind of attack as before, rendering one's defensive skills completely ineffective, and the physical body simply couldn't withstand it.

And this attack was undoubtedly aimed at the fourth brother, whose arm was already injured.

"Ah! It's me again!" The group had been prepared for this move, and seeing this, the fourth brother no longer took the hit head-on.

He quickly dodged to the side.

The golden dragon broke through the encirclement of the group with its attack, but its momentum weakened after releasing the attack.

The domains around them instantly dissipated, and the Soul Saints of the Holy Dragon Sect felt a sense of relief. Several of their Soul Skills immediately flew towards the golden dragon that had taken the opportunity to escape the encirclement.

Bang~

hold head high!

A painful dragon's roar resounded.

The attacks of the Soul Saints, no longer suppressed, instantly struck the golden dragon with immense power.

This time, blood seeped from the dragon's scales, and then the dragon transformed into a golden light, rapidly disappearing into the distance.

This direction is wrong. The soul beast did not flee towards the pool, but instead headed towards the interior of the mixed zone.

Ding Quan realized that the Soul Kings who had appeared before the Holy Dragon Sect had not shown up this time. Could it be that there were Soul Saints over at the pool?

However, upon seeing the golden dragon heading towards the mixed zone, Ding Quan's expression changed; this was his chance.

They glanced at the four Soul Saints, who were also stunned as they watched the direction the golden dragon fled.

Continuing deeper into the mixed zone is a bit dangerous.

The latest novel is first published here!

The battle just now was quite intense, and many spirit beasts were disturbed.

Looking into the dark interior of the Starry Sky Forest in the distance, one can only imagine the dangers lurking within.

"Big brother! Shall we chase after it?" the fourth brother shouted. He was guarding the direction from which the Golden Dragon Soul Beast was least likely to break through, but the result was unexpected.

"Going deep into the Star Dou Great Forest is too dangerous." After watching the golden dragon flash by at lightning speed, the leader's face darkened.

The group is currently using their Martial Soul True Forms, and if they were to go there, it would definitely cause quite a stir.

After releasing one's true martial spirit, one's strength will decrease significantly, and there may even be a period of weakness lasting a few days.

"I should have brought Fifth Brother here too." A Soul Saint next to him also looked annoyed.

"Third brother, don't blame yourself for not explaining its strength clearly!"

"But I did injure it and then left, and the sect disciples can testify to that." The third brother looked at the soul beast that had already run far away and felt somewhat embarrassed.

"What a pity! My disciple finally managed to sense the mark left on it with his fourth soul skill after waiting for two days, and now it's gone."

"It's alright, its mark is still there, there will be plenty of opportunities later. At worst, I'll ask the sect leader to take action."

"He will take action against any soul beast with a domain, without needing to be asked."

"It won't be so lucky next time."

Several white-armored earth dragon soul masters put away their martial souls, and several enormous white-armored earth dragons disappeared from the spot.

"Third brother, what are you still looking at? We're not blaming you."

"fine."

The third brother looked at a golden meteor with some doubt, which was also heading towards the mixed zone at an extremely fast speed, in the same direction as the golden dragon's escape.

In the sky, Wei'er unfurled her golden feathers, and a golden glow appeared on her body. She pulled Ding Quan, who was also using a soul bone skill and was holding Ling, and quickly chased after the golden light on the ground.

With the support of her external soul bone, Wei'er was able to keep up with the speed of the golden dragon.

It looks like it is indeed a dragon; it can't fly before it transforms into a dragon.

"Fortunately, it's nighttime and there aren't any eagle-type spirit beasts, otherwise we really wouldn't dare to do this in the air." Looking at the golden dragon that had caught up with the ground, Wei'er also breathed a sigh of relief.

However, the underground golden dragon spirit beast startled many spirit beasts, including many nocturnal spirit beasts.

"This is the right timing!" Ding Quan breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the golden dragon below slow down.

"The other party has stopped!"

"It doesn't have much soul power left, let's make our move!" Ding Quan said, looking around with his golden-red eyes.

This is a canyon filled with rocks and devoid of vegetation, making it extremely desolate.

Huh?

Ding Quan looked at the rocks beside him, noticing the marks left by the river. After glancing at the direction the river had flowed, Ding Quan was somewhat shocked.

Looking out of the canyon, a huge mountain peak appeared in the distance.

Is this a mountain range? Ding Quan could see an inconspicuous mountain range winding between the peaks.

That mountain peak is where that pool of water is located.

At the end of the canyon, the golden dragon lay motionless on the ground. Suddenly, its golden eyes opened, and its face showed fear.

Whizzing!

Whoosh!

One after another, illusory blades, carrying a chilling aura, shot straight toward its massive body.

Ouch!

A mournful howl rang out, and the fourth spirit ring on Ling's foot flashed as the mental illusion blade struck directly between his neck and shin.

The tiny, newly grown scale was struck several times in an instant, and even with its extremely strong defense, it was difficult to resist Ling's ice and fire attributes.

Moreover, the alternation of ice and fire is the nemesis of metal.

The already weakened golden dragon's aura waned further, while its eyes remained fixed on the three of them.

Upon seeing this, Ding Quan landed directly on the ground, the Dragon Abyss Sword appeared in his hand, and then his spiritual power surged, instantly unleashing a sharp aura.

Sensing this aura, the golden dragon's originally deep eyes flashed with a hint of doubt before it looked directly into Ding Quan's eyes.

Ding Quan was startled to see the golden dragon staring into his eyes.

Surprisingly, it felt familiar.

Ding Quan's gaze shifted slightly. His eyes came from a soul beast with the bloodline of the Suanni, and he did indeed possess the bloodline of the dragon race.

Moreover, after consuming the Earth Dragon Golden Melon, he did indeed possess the aura of the dragon race within his body.

Perhaps this is why I feel a sense of familiarity with this golden dragon.

Too bad, I need your spirit ring.

Ding Quan's gaze sharpened, and he immediately prepared to make a move.

Awooo~!

The golden dragon's eyes darted around, then it roared, and golden light shone from its body. Just as Ding Quan was about to raise the Dragon Abyss Sword, an inexplicable aura locked onto him.

Ding Quan's expression changed slightly; he found himself unable to move.

"Quan!" Upon seeing this, Wei'er flew towards Ding Quan, but was immediately blown away by a force.

At the same time, Ding Quan felt a sharp soul force enter his body, and a soul entity appeared in his sea of ​​consciousness.

Ding Quan was speechless when he saw the soul that had appeared in his sea of ​​consciousness.

It was actually that golden dragon.

Outside, Ding Quan closed his eyes, and a black-gold soul ring appeared on the golden dragon in front of him, landing directly on Ding Quan.

"This is... a sacrifice?" Ding Quan didn't kill the golden dragon, but he obtained a soul ring. Ling couldn't think of any other reason besides a sacrifice.

Ling watched as the golden dragon tattoo on Ding Quan's body came to life. Was it the effect of his martial spirit, or had Ding Quan consumed the golden dragon sweet potato?

Ding Quan, inside the Sea of ​​Spirit, stared in shock at the golden dragon. Then, to his astonishment, golden-red flames lit up on the Dragon Abyss Sword. Ding Quan felt his eyes burning, and a phantom golden lion with fire on its feet leaped out from the Dragon Abyss Sword.

Feeling a surge in mental power, did this mean his Xuanhuo Pupil's age had reached a new level?

Ding Quan had his own guesses about the appearance of this Suanni bloodline soul beast. He hadn't erased its soul at the time, so it seemed to reside in the soul bone and his own martial soul.

Now that the Soul Bone's lifespan has increased, it can come out and move around.

The golden dragon sensed the soul of its own kind and thus entered its own spiritual sea.

However, I felt the power surging into my body, an extremely sharp fluctuation of attributes.

Did this guy realize he couldn't escape death, so he sacrificed himself?

Ding Quan saw the golden dragon in the sea of ​​spirit; it was very intelligent, indicating that it possessed wisdom, but it did not attack him.

How interesting. Ding Quan stopped thinking about it and began to absorb the power of its spirit ring.

However, if that's the case, could it be like the second soul ring, where Ding Quan transmitted his consciousness to the soul of the golden dragon? The other party's eyes lit up.
