Douluo Continent II: The Dragon King Suppresses the World!

As he spoke, Ye Qi'an stepped forward. Facing the ten-thousand-year-old soul beast, the Azure Sea Spirit Ape, Ye Qi'an showed no sign of nervousness. As the Golden Dragon King, he always exuded an unparalleled domineering aura.

The Azure Sea Spirit Ape sensed the powerful aura emanating from Ye Qi'an and let out a roar, seemingly to demonstrate its power against this uninvited guest. Immediately afterward, a large amount of green mist rapidly spread from its body.

"Hmph." Ye Qi'an snorted coldly, his eyes full of contempt.

The green mist came on fiercely, but he was not afraid at all. He simply raised his hand slightly, and a dazzling golden light suddenly appeared, instantly blocking the green mist. Wherever the golden light shone, the mist dissipated, as if it had encountered its natural nemesis.

The golden light emanating from Ye Qi'an grew even more dazzling, while the Azure Sea Spirit Ape, seeing its attack easily neutralized, became increasingly enraged, roaring to the sky and its voice echoing through the mountains and forests.

Just then, Ye Qi'an's eyes narrowed, and a powerful pressure emanated from his body. Suddenly, a dragon's roar resounded through the sky, carrying boundless majesty, like an invisible force impacting the Azure Sea Spirit Ape.

The Azure Sea Spirit Ape's body trembled violently, its eyes filled with terror. The dragon's roar echoed continuously, causing the surrounding leaves to fall and the earth to tremble slightly. The Azure Sea Spirit Ape tried to resist, but under the intimidation of the dragon's roar, its movements became sluggish.

An icy blue halo instantly spread from Ye Qi'an's body; it was Di Hantian Xuewu Yaoyang. At the same time, Little Snow Emperor also emerged from Ye Qi'an's body. The temperature in the air plummeted at an unbelievable speed, dropping to minus two hundred degrees Celsius almost instantly, and the next moment it completely transformed into an icy world.

"Eee-yah-yah," Xue Di's soft voice echoed in Ye Qi'an's heart.

With a slight thought, Ye Qi'an simply relaxed his mind and followed the Snow Emperor's will. The Snow Emperor moved, and his body moved with her.

Ye Qi'an felt his body suddenly become lighter, and at that moment, he felt a strange force gather in his left hand.

At this moment, Ye Qi'an's originally golden left hand was not only as smooth as jade, but also as white as snow, as if it were carved from a piece of mutton fat jade.

The seemingly delicate snowflakes in the air exerted a powerful and sustained attack. In this extreme cold, the snowflakes swept across the Azure Sea Spirit Ape, and suddenly, all the raging wind and blizzard abruptly stopped in an indescribable way. In that instant, time and space seemed to stand still; every snowflake froze in mid-air, and all the cold winds also stopped instantly.

Without a sound, all the snowflakes shattered instantly, their original power vanishing in an instant. The chill within the snowflakes seemed to be instantly drained away, and the temperature in the air suddenly warmed up.

"The Emperor's Palm is bitterly cold with no snow," Ye Qi'an said in a deep voice.

The palm struck the Azure Sea Spirit Ape's back with a dull thud. The Azure Sea Spirit Ape didn't even have time to utter a cry before it was instantly frozen into a block of ice. Within the crystal-clear ice, the Azure Sea Spirit Ape's body remained in a terrified posture, as if time had been frozen in that moment.

Ye Qi'an quietly watched the frozen Azure Sea Spirit Ape. The golden light on its body gradually subsided, and the icy blue halo slowly faded away. Ye Qi'an turned around, and Little Snow Emperor flew lightly back to his side, making "ee-yah-yah" sounds as if it were telling him something.

Ye Qi'an smiled slightly, gently patted Little Snow Emperor's head, then turned to look at the crowd behind him, pointed at Mo Xuan, and said, "Come here!"

Mo Xuan was slightly taken aback, feeling a little nervous, but he still quickly walked up to Ye Qi'an.

"Sit cross-legged. There will be some pain, so you have to bear it. If you succeed, you will no longer need to hunt soul beasts to obtain soul rings, but will condense soul rings on your own," Ye Qi'an said in a deep voice.

Upon hearing Ye Qi'an's words, Mo Xuan felt both nervous and expectant. He sat down cross-legged and took a deep breath.

Ye Qi'an watched as Mo Xuan slightly raised his hand, and a golden light shot out from his palm, enveloping Mo Xuan.

Mo Xuan immediately felt a powerful force surge into his body, causing him to tremble involuntarily. Five spirit rings, yellow, purple, and black, appeared uncontrollably.

"now."

As soon as he finished speaking, the spirit rings beneath Mo Xuan slowly dispersed, and the phantom of the original spirit beast appeared on each spirit ring. The spirit beasts on the five spirit rings were lifelike and exuded different auras.

Ye Qi'an frowned slightly, turned around and pointed at the frozen Azure Sea Spirit Ape. A drop of emerald green blood slowly emerged from his forehead, while his other hand emitted a powerful suction force that pulled at the phantoms of the five soul beasts.

That drop of emerald green blood seemed to contain boundless power. The powerful suction of Ye Qi'an's other hand caused the five phantom soul beasts to tremble slightly, as if resisting the suction. However, under Ye Qi'an's powerful control, they could not break free.

As the suction intensified, the five phantom soul beasts began to slowly move towards Ye Qi'an. Mo Xuan's body was still trembling, unaware of what would happen next.

Ye Qi'an gradually pulled the five phantom soul beasts closer to the drop of emerald green blood. When the phantom soul beasts got close to the blood, they seemed to be bound by an invisible force and could no longer move.

Zhang Lexuan and the others held their breath, quietly watching this miraculous scene.

Ye Qi'an narrowed his eyes slightly, and the power in his hand increased again. The drop of emerald green blood began to emit an even more dazzling light, enveloping the five soul beast phantoms. Under the light, the soul beast phantoms gradually became blurred, as if they were merging with the blood.

"Go!" With Ye Qi'an's low shout, the emerald green blood that had fused with the phantoms of five soul beasts flew toward Mo Xuan.

Mo Xuan stared wide-eyed, watching nervously as the light approached him. The light instantly entered Mo Xuan's body, and he felt a powerful and unfamiliar force surging through his body. He gritted his teeth, trying to endure the pain brought by this force, and his body trembled violently involuntarily, his face showing a look of pain.

Ye Qi'an stared at Mo Xuan with a solemn expression, then placed his hand on Mo Xuan's shoulder. The Golden Dragon King bloodline flowed quietly, driving the drop of blood to fuse with Mo Xuan's martial soul.

As Ye Qi'an's Golden Dragon King bloodline was injected, the impact of the emerald green blood that fused with the phantoms of five soul beasts in Mo Xuan's body gradually eased. Mo Xuan's tense body relaxed a little, but the pain on his face had not completely disappeared.

Ye Qi'an's slightly furrowed brows gradually relaxed. He could feel the fusion process progressing steadily. Everyone around him watched this scene nervously, not daring to breathe.

Time passed slowly, and the power within Mo Xuan's body gradually stabilized. The emerald green blood fused perfectly with his martial soul, and a brand new aura emanated from him.

"With one burst of energy, draw upon the natural energy within yourself and condense your sixth spirit ring!"

Upon hearing this, Mo Xuan endured his physical discomfort, focused his mind, and began to try to draw upon the surrounding natural energy. Strands of the world's energy slowly gathered towards him.

At first, the natural energy approached Mo Xuan cautiously, like a trickle. As Mo Xuan adjusted his state, his attraction to the natural energy gradually increased. Soon, the natural energy surged like a tide, surrounding him.

Mo Xuan focused intently on guiding these natural energies into his body, feeling a powerful and pure force flowing within him, resonating with the previously fused emerald green blood and his own aura martial soul.

As natural energy continued to flow in, Mo Xuan's aura grew stronger and stronger, and a faint black halo began to appear around him, as if announcing the arrival of a new realm.

Under the tense gaze of everyone, Mo Xuan's body trembled slightly. Suddenly, a dazzling light burst forth from his body, followed by a soul ring that shone with a black halo slowly appearing.

In fact, with the blessing of the Azure Sea Spirit Ape bloodline absorbing the phantoms of the first five spirit rings, it was not difficult for Mo Xuan to absorb the spirit ring he had condensed on his own. Half an hour later, he completed the absorption of his sixth spirit ring and happily jumped up from the ground.

"If I'm not mistaken, the age of your sixth spirit ring should be between 20,000 and 25,000 years, which is much higher than that of this Azure Sea Spirit Ape," Ye Qi'an nodded and said.

"That's true, and I also feel that my physical strength has increased a bit, otherwise I wouldn't be able to withstand such powerful force." Mo Xuan said to Ye Qi'an with a grateful expression.

"That's natural. The theory of condensing soul rings that I proposed applies to anyone. From now on, you must continuously use your cultivation to nurture that drop of blood until it completely becomes your bloodline," Ye Qi'an said.

At this moment, Zhang Lexuan and the others came to Ye Qi'an's side. Everyone looked at Mo Xuan with curiosity, trying to see some changes in him.

Zhang Lexuan and Han Ruoruo were somewhat surprised by what they saw, but as experts at the Contra level, they quickly understood. In addition, considering the idea proposed by Ye Qian of the Sea God Pavilion, a strange light flashed in Zhang Lexuan's beautiful eyes.

"Qi An, did Mo Xuan succeed?" Zhang Lexuan asked.

"He succeeded. Now he can completely use that drop of blood to draw upon the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to condense a soul ring. If one day that drop of blood becomes a bloodline, he has the potential to break through to the Title Douluo level." Ye Qi'an nodded in response.

Zhang Lexuan nodded slightly, her eyes full of admiration: "Your theory is truly amazing. If it can be widely adopted, it will surely change the landscape of the entire Soul Master world."

Ye Qi'an smiled calmly, "This is just the beginning, there is still a long way to go." His gaze swept over everyone, "Let's keep going. If we encounter other soul beasts, we can capture them alive. We only need to take a drop of their blood. As for this Azure Sea Spirit Ape, it will recover once the ice thaws."

Upon hearing this, everyone nodded in agreement. After all, with such a safe way to break through, who would risk their lives against a soul beast? This was exactly the situation Ye Qi'an wanted to see.

Having encountered the Azure Sea Spirit Ape, everyone's vigilance naturally increased. However, with Huo Yuhao's shared mental detection, the pressure wasn't too great. As they continued forward, they drove away several more soul beasts that were unsuitable for fusion, and the group ventured deeper and deeper into the mixed zone.

Further in from the mixed zone is the core zone, and in the center of the core zone lies a place of great danger, and they are getting closer and closer to it.

By this time, the sky had completely darkened, and night had fallen. The roars and howls of the soul beasts could be heard from time to time, along with the chirping of insects and birds that lingered around.

Zhang Lexuan stopped and glanced at the sky through the gaps in the tree canopy. She said in a low voice, "We should be in the middle of the mixed zone now. Nighttime is not good for travel, so we'll rest here tonight. Yuhao, expand your detection range; we need to find a place to camp."

"Okay." Huo Yuhao agreed, his mental power suddenly increased, and it quickly spread outward, instantly exceeding a diameter of one kilometer.

A moment later, Zhang Lexuan pointed in a direction and led everyone there. It was a relatively high place, surrounded by bushes.

Li Yongyue released his martial spirit, a cold light flashed, and the moon blade swept across, releasing several blade beams to clear the bushes.

Zhang Lexuan looked around, then sensed the surroundings through Huo Yuhao's mental detection, and said in a deep voice, "Soul beasts are very numerous in this area, but judging from our journey so far, no powerful soul beasts have claimed this place as their territory. Starting tomorrow, we will definitely encounter much more trouble, and our travel speed will be greatly reduced. Tonight, we will take turns on duty. Those who are resting should meditate in place. I will be on duty for the first round, Ruoruo for the second round, one hour each. Ye Qi'an and Huo Yuhao, you two will be on duty for the third round. Wang Dong'er, Li Yongyue, and Mo Xuan's abilities are not suitable for duty, so the three of you can rest assured."

Although Wang Dong'er felt a little uncomfortable not being able to keep watch with Huo Yuhao, she didn't raise any objections because Zhang Lexuan was right. If her Light Goddess Butterfly Martial Soul attracted a large number of soul beasts, it would undoubtedly cause trouble for everyone.

Fires are absolutely forbidden in the Star Dou Great Forest. Soul beasts are not wild animals; many of them love fire. Therefore, eating some cold food is perfectly natural. The group simply ate some dry rations, took a few sips of water from their water pouches, and then sat down to begin their cultivation.

Unlike the others, Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong'er sat facing each other, their hands clasped together, and began to circulate their Hao Dong power. Although they were deliberately suppressing it, their bodies still emitted a faint light.

Ye Qi'an sat cross-legged under a large tree, using the essence of the Golden Dragon King that was leaking out from the gap in the eighth seal to cleanse himself.

Zhang Lexuan remained standing there, gazing into the distance. Without Huo Yuhao's mental detection assistance, she could only rely on her own strength to keep watch.

Everyone present was a highly qualified inner court student. Despite being in a dangerous place, they all quickly entered a meditative state. They didn't experience much discomfort, and their soul power and physical fatigue were rapidly restored during meditation.

For them, an hour of rest is enough to restore them to their best condition. The longer rest is mainly to help them recover their energy and maintain a better state of mind.
