Douluo Continent: Dragon's Journey Across the World

Chapter 215 The True Form of the Demonic Dragon

At this moment, Yang Ping'an was also moved when he looked at the corpse of the Golden Titan Python. The Golden Titan Python was indeed much older than Yang Ping'an's age, even far exceeding the limits of his body.

According to the original story, only Tang San obtained the seventh spirit ring of 100,000 years. No matter how powerful people in later generations are, only a very few with a physical spirit can do it, but that requires a physical spirit of gold-level awakening and extremely terrifying physical qualities.

It should be noted that when Tang San absorbed his seventh spirit ring, it was a divinely bestowed spirit ring that caused absolutely no harm to his body and did not cause any soul impact. However, it lasted for a full three months, during which the energy intensity exceeded everyone's imagination.

The golden Titan Serpent before them was clearly much stronger, probably over 150,000 years old, and its soul impact was absolutely crushing.

However, Yang Ping'an hesitated for only a moment before immediately starting to absorb the soul ring.

As Yang Ping'an introduced the 100,000-year soul ring into the Golden Demon Dragon's body using the cyclical absorption method, it seemed as if an extremely powerful force instantly surged into his body. It felt as if every cell in his entire body was about to be crushed, and his skin instantly began to bleed, with countless drops of blood flowing from his skin.

At the same time, a giant golden Titan python, far larger than the golden dragon, appeared in Yang Ping'an's mind, seemingly wanting to tear Yang Ping'an, the thief who stole the treasure, to pieces. At this moment, Yang Ping'an felt as if his mind was about to explode, and his soul seemed to be trembling, as if he were facing an unparalleled ferocious beast.

Seeing that Yang Ping'an's body and soul seemed to be on the verge of collapse, the Strange King simply shook his head in the air. Although he valued Yang Ping'an, he would not offer him any help, especially when it came to absorbing a soul ring.

Just as Yang Ping'an was about to collapse, a special aura appeared in his previously boiling blood, just like the Golden Dragon Source Fruit he had taken before.

This energy seemed to originate from the deepest level of his bloodline, transforming into a golden dragon that instantly traversed Yang Ping'an's entire body, all his meridians and blood vessels, and even ultimately rushed into his mind.

The Golden Dragon Source Fruit is said to be born from bathing in dragon blood, containing the purest dragon essence, or even the essence of the Dragon King, which is why it is now truly effective.

At the same time, the silver figure that Yang Ping'an had been seeing had transformed into a towering black shadow, appearing extremely eerie, and seemingly showing no weakness even when facing the Golden Titan Serpent.

At that moment, the golden dragon couldn't help but roar. Its roars echoed through the heavens and earth. Its mind seemed to be enveloped by two golden auras and one black aura. The three auras were constantly colliding and fighting.

At this moment, Yang Ping'an was in great pain. Finally, at the critical moment, his right leg began to emit bursts of blue light. His bleeding body seemed to be nourished and began to heal rapidly.

This continued for an unknown period of time. Yang Ping'an's body collapsed time and time again, only to be rapidly healed each time under the nourishment of the golden dragon and the blue light.

When Yang Ping'an's body returned to calm, his figure changed again. He was originally only about 1.9 meters tall, but now he had grown to 2.1 meters tall. Moreover, his body was extremely well-proportioned, and his muscles were unusually ferocious, as if he was full of explosive power.

When Yang Ping'an opened his eyes, they had turned completely golden. He felt that he was countless times stronger than before, and even seemed to have the power to fight against a Title Douluo-level expert.

Before the King of the Strange could say anything, Yang Ping'an used his hands like sharp claws to tear open the corpse of the Golden Titan Serpent and found a golden left arm soul bone.

Yang Ping'an didn't hesitate at all and continued to absorb the soul bone, which was a reward specially arranged for him by the God of Death.

After absorbing the soul ring and soul bone, Yang Ping'an carefully sensed his body. Both the Golden Demon Dragon and his original martial soul had undergone transformation. The Golden Demon Dragon became more ferocious, looking down on all living beings like a real dragon, while his original martial soul was now emitting a black aura, as deep as the night.

By absorbing the seventh-stage spirit ring, Yang Ping'an obtained a very good spirit skill. Although the seventh spirit skill is still the Martial Soul True Body, as a 100,000-year-level Martial Soul True Body, it is far superior to the Martial Soul True Body of ordinary spirit masters.

When using the Martial Soul True Body, or what might be called the Demonic Dragon True Body, the body can achieve amplification of all attributes, with a significant increase in attack and defense. The entire body resembles a golden dragon, especially with strength increasing several times over. Moreover, when using the Martial Soul True Body, the power of all other soul skills increases by 100%.

According to Yang Ping'an's current assessment, he is definitely capable of fighting against a Title Douluo.

Moreover, as the seventh soul skill of a hundred thousand years, although it is impossible to obtain two hundred thousand years soul skills, the Martial Soul True Body also has an additional effect, which is to break through demons.

Under the influence of the Martial Soul True Body, one can break through the enemy's defenses and even their domain.

At the same time, Yang Ping'an also awakened a domain belonging to the Golden Dragon, called the Dragon Domain. Within the domain, he could greatly increase his attack and defense, suppress the enemy's soul power by 20%, and even absorb the enemy's soul power for his own use.

Moreover, after absorbing the seventh spirit ring, Yang Ping'an felt that his metal attribute seemed to have improved again, and he should have reached the ultimate metal level. No matter what the enemy's attribute, he should be able to restrain him.

Metal seems to be the most powerful and domineering attribute in the world, and it is also the most dominant in killing. According to Yang Ping'an's own estimation, he is probably already able to barely defeat Serpent Spear Douluo and others.

The left arm soul bone also granted him two very good soul bone skills, which can be described as a miracle.

Left Arm Soul Bone Skill 1: Golden Dragon Claw, which can transform into a giant golden dragon claw to attack enemies, ignoring their defense.

Left Arm Soul Bone Skill Two: Titan Golden Annihilation. When using this soul bone skill, you can transform into a golden Titan serpent to entangle and control enemies, and deliver a devastating blow.

These two Soul Bone skills are quite powerful. Golden Dragon Claw is definitely the strongest attack skill, even comparable to Bibi Dong's Eternal Creation, while Titan Golden Annihilation is a powerful control and destruction skill, equally powerful.

After absorbing the soul ring and soul bone, Yang Ping'an's soul power level reached an astonishing level of seventy-five. Moreover, according to Yang Ping'an's estimation, in addition to the ultimate gold, he was probably also close to the ultimate power, since powerful strength was also one of the attributes of the dragon race.

Just as Yang Ping'an was examining his body, the Strange King suddenly spoke up: "Yang Ping'an, you're quite good. I didn't expect a mere Quasi-Soul Saint to have such a powerful Soul Ring. It seems I underestimated you a bit."

Yang Ping'an quickly composed himself and bowed to the King of the Strange: "Thank you for your kindness, Lord Death. Without you, I would not have such good fortune."

The Mysterious King shook his head: "This is your opportunity, and also your own good fortune after consuming the Golden Dragon Source Fruit. Otherwise, you wouldn't have been able to absorb the Golden Titan Python's soul ring."

"Besides, neither the Golden Dragon Source Fruit nor the Golden Titan Serpent belong to me. You have this opportunity, and sooner or later you will meet the person who bestowed this opportunity upon you."

Yang Ping'an was shocked. He hadn't expected that there was something in this Death Forest that wasn't controlled by the Grim Reaper. Where did it come from?

"I must thank you, Lord Death, no matter what. I will definitely do my best to pass your test and inherit your divine position."

The Mysterious King shook his head: "Although you have passed this test, you are still far from inheriting my legacy. I cannot subject you to a divine test. From now on, it all depends on your own destiny."

Immediately afterwards, the King of Eeries waved his hand, and the entire environment of the space was revealed.

What was originally an ordinary space now looked like a grand hall, which appeared incredibly majestic, making Yang Ping'an himself seem extremely small.

A huge throne appeared directly in front of the main hall, and even though the Strange King's body was over ten meters tall, he sat on the throne without any sense of incongruity.

In the center of the main hall, besides the enormous hell flower, there was a platform with a huge scythe on it.

This scythe is entirely black, exuding a dark aura, and is over three meters long. The serrations on the scythe seem capable of tearing apart everything in the world.

Yang Ping'an was startled: "Lord Death, why does this scythe look like the Rakshasa Demon Scythe?"

The King of Eeries merely snorted coldly: "What is the mere Rakshasa Scythe? This is the Scythe of Death. The Rakshasa Scythe is just an ordinary divine weapon, and a counterfeit made based on the Scythe of Death."

"You must know that the Reaper's Scythe is a true super artifact, its power is countless times stronger than the Rakshasa Demon Scythe, and it can even be said that it completely crushes it."

Yang Ping'an stared intently at the Grim Reaper's Scythe in the center of the hall, as if it possessed an endless attraction that could captivate anyone.

The King of Eeries let out a cold snort, which was like a thunderclap, instantly waking Yang Ping'an up.

Yang Ping'an felt a cold sweat break out all over his body. In that extremely short time, it seemed as if his soul had been sucked away by the Grim Reaper's Scythe, and he was even completely absorbed in its power.

"Yang Ping'an, your strength is too weak right now. You can't even look directly at the Grim Reaper's Scythe. You can leave now."

Yang Ping'an was startled and quickly said, "Lord Death, it is precisely because I am too weak that I wish to continue cultivating here. Please continue to grant me trials."

The King of Eeries shook his head: "I can't give you any more tests. Whether it's your understanding of the aura of death or the aura of darkness, or even your combat ability, you have performed exceptionally well. However, due to the limitations of your own soul power, you cannot improve further even here."

"Besides, it took you a full month and a half to absorb the soul rings and soul bones this time. Do you intend to abandon your hatred for the sake of cultivation?"

Yang Ping'an instantly understood his situation. Although becoming stronger was his pursuit, his real purpose was revenge. If he missed the chance to settle his score with Yu Luomian, he would probably regret it for the rest of his life.

However, Yang Ping'an also did not want to miss the opportunity to inherit the God of Death's legacy, since the inheritance of gods is extremely rare.

The Mysterious King continued, "Go back now. This place is not suitable for your cultivation. When you reach the Title Douluo level, come back here to continue receiving the inheritance. When you can wield the Death Scythe, it means you are qualified to receive the true Death God's inheritance."

"However, you should also pay special attention. You should not absorb soul bones anymore, especially your second martial soul. You should not absorb soul rings casually. From now on, you can only absorb soul rings with dark and death attributes."

Before Yang Ping'an could speak, the King of Eeries waved his hand again, and a special power seemed to emanate from the space. Yang Ping'an was repelled by this power, and the scene before him seemed to fall into darkness.

When Yang Ping'an opened his eyes again, he was already in the Death Forest, the same place where the Thunderous Hell Vine had been.

Yang Ping'an thought for a moment, then bowed to Lei Mingyan Yuteng behind him: "Thank you for your kindness, Lord Death. I will definitely return as soon as possible to receive the inheritance."

After saying this, Yang Ping'an turned around and left, preparing to depart from the Death Forest.

At the same time, a pair of enormous red eyes seemed to appear in the sky above the Forest of Death: "Yang Ping'an, I hope you are qualified to become a true inheritor. Perhaps a new generation of Grim Reapers will emerge in this world. I wonder if you are prepared to be an enemy of the world?"
