Douluo Continent II: The Dragon King Suppresses the World!

Chapter 65 Breaking Through the Fifth Seal

After leaving Shrek Academy, the scenery changed rapidly. Gu Yuena led Ye Qi'an back to the Star Dou Great Forest at an astonishing speed. Just as the two stood by the Lake of Life, a dazzling golden light rushed towards Ye Qi'an.

Before Ye Qi'an could react, he felt a heavy force come over him, and he involuntarily fell backward. When he looked closely, he saw that the dazzling golden light lying on him was the Three-Eyed Golden Lion, an auspicious beast of the emperor. The golden fur of the Three-Eyed Golden Lion shone brightly in the sunlight.

Gu Yuena looked at the imperial beast that was pouncing on Ye Qi'an, her beautiful face slightly furrowed, and she gently scolded, "Auspicious beast, you must not be rude."

Although her voice was soft, it carried an undeniable authority. Upon hearing Gu Yuena's light rebuke, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion did not immediately leave Ye Qi'an, but instead turned to look at Gu Yuena, its lively eyes seemingly expressing its dissatisfaction.

Ye Qi'an looked at the three-eyed golden lion lying on him, gently stroking its golden fur, which was soft and smooth, and said softly, "Little guy, stop fooling around."

Ye Qi'an's voice seemed to have a special magic, gradually calming down the Three-Eyed Golden Lion's originally excited emotions. The Three-Eyed Golden Lion reluctantly jumped off Ye Qi'an, circled around him a few times, and then ran to Gu Yuena's side, gently rubbing its head against her leg.

Gu Yuena shook her head slightly and said helplessly, "You auspicious beast, you're always so mischievous."

Ye Qi'an stood up, gently patted the dust off his clothes, and then carefully took out the dragon pill that Elder Mu had given him from his soul tool.

Ye Qi'an leaned close to the three-eyed golden lion's ear and whispered, "This is for you, little guy. Go and refine it. I'll take you to the human world to play later."

"Brother, is this true? You're going to take me to the human world?" Upon hearing Ye Qi'an's words, the three-eyed golden lion's eyes lit up. It stretched out its paw and gently touched the dragon pill, seemingly sensing the energy within it.

Gu Yuena was slightly surprised when she saw Ye Qi'an take out the Dragon Pill. A hint of surprise flashed in her eyes. She didn't expect Ye Qi'an to give this precious Dragon Pill to the auspicious beast.

"The power contained in this dragon pill is enough to allow you to advance further after breaking the fifth seal. Are you sure you want to give it to the auspicious beast?" Gu Yuena asked softly.

Ye Qi'an nodded and said with a smile, "I can't just rely on external forces to break through, can I? This dragon pill is more suitable for the auspicious beast than for me. I believe the auspicious beast will be stronger after refining this dragon pill, and I promised her that I would take her to travel in the human world."

Gu Yuena nodded slightly at Ye Qi'an, a hint of appreciation in her eyes: "That's good. Anyway, with the two of us watching over it, the safety of the auspicious beast is guaranteed."

Seeing that Gu Yuena had agreed, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion excitedly picked up the Dragon Pill and ran off in one direction.

Gu Yuena walked to Ye Qi'an's side and said softly, "You are truly sincere towards the auspicious beast."

"Because it's worth it," Ye Qi'an nodded and said.

Upon hearing Ye Qian'an's answer, a complex look flashed in Gu Yuena's eyes. She hesitated for a moment before asking, "Qian, what about me?"

Ye Qi'an looked at Gu Yuena, her beautiful face stirring his heart. He took her hand and placed it on his chest, saying, "You are even more so. My feelings for the auspicious beast are sincere, but for you, it's a deep-seated cherishing. In my heart, you are irreplaceable; your importance surpasses everything."

As Gu Yuena listened to Ye Qi'an's words, her cheeks flushed slightly, her long eyelashes trembled gently, and her hand was held tightly by Ye Qi'an. Feeling the warmth from his chest, she felt very at ease.

A gentle breeze stirred the Lake of Life, causing ripples to spread across its surface. Just then, the voices of Di Tian and the others drifted from afar: "My Lord, Lord Golden Dragon King."

As the voices of Di Tian and the other ferocious beasts reached them, Gu Yuena and Ye Qi'an turned their heads at the same time. They saw them quickly approaching, and when Di Tian and the others saw Gu Yuena and Ye Qi'an's tightly clasped hands, a knowing look flashed in their eyes.

Di Tian bowed slightly and said respectfully, "My lord, what brings you here?"

Gu Yuena gently withdrew her hand from Ye Qi'an's grasp, her expression returning to its usual aloofness, and said, "The auspicious beast is refining the dragon pill. You all need to strengthen your vigilance and ensure the beast's safety."

Di Tian and the others responded in unison, "Yes, Your Majesty." Their voices were uniform and full of determination.

"By the way, Di Tian, ​​how's that reckless Title Douluo doing?" Ye Qi'an asked.

Di Tian looked at Ye Qi'an and respectfully replied, "Lord Golden Dragon King, the corpse of that Title Douluo has been disposed of in the Star Luo Empire's palace as you instructed."

Ye Qi'an nodded slightly, a hint of satisfaction in his eyes: "Well done. How's the preparation of the rare metals I requested coming along?"

Di Tian replied, "Lord Golden Dragon King, we have collected almost all the rare metals, which should be enough for our needs." As he spoke, Di Tian took out several dozen soul guide storage rings and arranged them neatly.

[At this point, I hope readers will remember our domain name: 202ᴋᴋs.ᴄᴏᴍ]

Ye Qi'an looked at the neatly arranged soul-guided storage rings in front of him and nodded in satisfaction. He reached out and picked up one of the rings, probing it with his spiritual power. He sensed the mountain of rare metals inside and couldn't help but feel a surge of anticipation in his heart.

"The production of the battle armor can finally be put on the agenda. Elder Yi, have you ever dabbled in formations?" Ye Qi'an asked Ilex in his spiritual sea.

Ye Qi'an's spiritual sea rippled slightly, and Electrolux's voice slowly rang out: "Little guy, when it comes to formations, I dare to claim second place, and no one dares to claim first."

Upon hearing this, Ye Qi'an's eyes lit up, and he felt more confident. He respectfully said, "I'll have to trouble Elder Yi then."

Electrolux replied calmly, "Don't worry, my formation will definitely satisfy you."

Ye Qi'an nodded, his mental sea returning to calm. After glancing at Gu Yuena, he said, "Nana, I'm going to start breaking the fifth seal of the Golden Dragon King. I need to shield this space."

Gu Yuena nodded slightly, and with a gentle wave of her jade hand, a dazzling light rose up, instantly enveloping the surrounding space. As the light flickered, it seemed to form an indestructible barrier, isolating all external interference.

"Go ahead and do it. You won't be disturbed by anyone here," Gu Yuena said softly, looking at Ye Qi'an gently.

Ye Qi'an took a deep breath and slowly closed his eyes. He began to concentrate his mind, mobilizing the soul power within his body, preparing to meet the challenge of breaking the fifth seal of the Golden Dragon King.

The surrounding air seemed to freeze. He could feel the immense and violent power of the Golden Dragon King stirring within his body, ready to break free of its restraints at any moment. As his soul power surged, Ye Qi'an's body began to tremble slightly.

Golden rays of light emanated from his body, dazzling like the sun. In his spiritual world, because Electrolux had previously opened a breach, Ye Qi'an could now perceive the structure of the Golden Dragon King's seal more clearly.

Ye Qi'an carefully guided his soul power, converging it towards the gap in the seal. The golden soul power surged like a raging tide, relentlessly impacting the gap. Each impact caused his body to tremble violently, as if he were being torn apart by this powerful force. As time passed, the gap widened, and the sealed bloodline power of the Golden Dragon King grew increasingly violent.

At this moment, Gu Yuena, watching from the outside, focused her beautiful eyes on Ye Qi'an, who was breaking the fifth seal. She could clearly sense that the energy contained within this fifth seal was terrifying, representing a change from the inside out. As long as Ye Qi'an broke the fifth seal, his strength would undergo a qualitative leap.

Just then, the golden aura surrounding Ye Qi'an, who was sitting cross-legged on the ground, became even more pronounced. Under Gu Yuena's gaze, Ye Qi'an was enveloped inside a golden dragon egg. Golden dragon patterns could be faintly seen moving across the eggshell, and these patterns seemed alive, radiating a powerful aura.

Ye Qi'an felt as if he were in a closed space. The power of the Golden Dragon King surged through his consciousness like a tidal wave. Within this dragon egg, the passage of time seemed to slow down and become blurred. He could constantly feel his body undergoing earth-shattering changes. Every inch of his skin, every bone, became more resilient and powerful under the baptism of the Golden Dragon King's bloodline.

After an unknown amount of time, the dragon egg began to tremble slightly, and golden patterns appeared on its surface. Suddenly, the egg shone brightly, and a dazzling golden light shot into the sky. The powerful energy fluctuations caused the surrounding space to tremble. Then, cracks began to appear on the eggshell, spreading rapidly. With a crisp cracking sound, Ye Qi'an slowly emerged from the dragon egg, five crimson-gold spirit rings appearing one after another. At this moment, he exuded a powerful aura that sent chills down one's spine.

Gu Yuena gazed at Ye Qi'an as he hatched, her beautiful eyes filled with amazement. His long, golden hair, as long as her own, cascaded casually over his shoulders, shimmering brilliantly in the sunlight. His originally black pupils had turned crimson under the baptism of the Golden Dragon King's bloodline, and those crimson eyes inspired awe in all who beheld them.

Ye Qi'an felt the surging power within his body, clenched his fist slightly, and the air seemed to crackle as he squeezed it: "The bloodline cultivation contained in the fifth seal is indeed different from the previous seals, it seems to have undergone earth-shattering changes."

"Qi'an, what are your plans for the future?" Gu Yuena nodded and asked.

"I will return to the blacksmith to forge metal, and then I will make the battle armor. During this time, the auspicious beast will also completely refine the power of the dragon pill and then take human form. We need to be careful. After that, it's..." Ye Qi'an thought about his next plan and then said.

Before Ye Qi'an could finish speaking, Gu Yuena nodded slightly, a thoughtful look in her eyes. "We do need to pay close attention to the transformation of auspicious beasts. The distance between the blacksmith shop and the Star Dou Great Forest is quite far for you. Here, take this."

As Gu Yuena spoke, she lightly raised her jade hand, and a dazzling light flashed, revealing a silver-white scale in her palm, with a silver thread connecting the scale.

After handing the necklace to Ye Qi'an, Gu Yuena said softly, "These are my scales. As long as you infuse them with soul power, you can instantly travel between the blacksmith shop and the Star Dou Great Forest. With them, you won't have to worry about distance anymore."

Ye Qi'an gently stroked the silver-white scale, then carefully put the necklace around his neck, feeling the slight coolness from the scale on his neck. He took a deep look at Gu Yuena, then resolutely turned around and sped off towards Shrek Academy.

Along the way, the wind whistled in his ears. Soon, the magnificent outline of Shrek City came into view. Ye Qi'an slowed down, composed himself, stepped into Shrek City, and headed straight for Siyuan Blacksmith Shop.

As soon as Ye Qi'an entered the blacksmith shop, Si Yuan's gaze, which had been focused on his work, was instantly drawn to a figure. He raised his head slightly, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes, and said, "Xiao An, is that you?"

Ye Qi'an nodded slightly and replied, "Teacher, it's me."

Siyuan slowly stood up, carefully looking Ye Qi'an up and down, her eyes filled with surprise. Ye Qi'an stood tall and straight, his demeanor vastly different from before.

"Xiao An, you've changed so much! It seems your strength has improved dramatically again," Si Yuan said with admiration. "Let your teacher check if your forging skills have suffered."

Ye Qi'an smiled slightly, his eyes revealing confidence, and then said, "Teacher, then please go ahead and set the questions."

Siyuan pondered for a moment, his gaze sweeping back and forth among the mountain of materials piled up beside him, before reaching out and taking out a special rare metal.

"Use this piece of metal, and forge it using the thousand-fold refining technique." Siyuan handed the metal to Ye Qi'an, his tone full of anticipation.

Ye Qi'an took the metal and examined it carefully in his palm. The texture, patterns, and faint energy fluctuations of the metal were clearly presented in his perception.

With a plan already in mind, he calmly walked to his familiar forging table. He skillfully lit the furnace, and as the temperature rose, the metal gradually turned red-hot. Ye Qi'an's eyes were focused, as if the whole world consisted only of him and the metal being forged.

He slowly raised the forging hammer, the heavy weight seeming almost weightless in his hands. The first strike brought a dull thud to the metal, sparks flying. This blow seemed to carry immense force, altering the metal's texture; its rough surface gradually became smooth, and its internal structure began to reorganize under the powerful force. The second strike followed closely, the force even more concentrated. With this strike, the metal faintly emitted a unique luster. When the third strike landed, the entire blacksmith shop seemed to tremble from the powerful force; the ground shook slightly, and the surrounding tools made soft creaking noises.

Siyuan watched as Ye Qi'an completed the thousand-fold forging with just three hammer blows, his eyes filled with shock. He stared blankly at the gleaming metal, as if he couldn't believe his eyes.

"Three hammer blows and it's a thousand forgings, what incredible power!" Siyuan took a deep breath and said, "Xiao An, your progress far exceeds my expectations. It seems that your experiences during this period have brought your forging skills to a new level."

Ye Qi'an smiled modestly, his eyes still holding that reverence for forging. "Teacher, I still have much to learn." He paused, then continued, "By the way, teacher, can I learn spirit forging now?"

Looking into Ye Qian'an's expectant eyes, Si Yuan seemed to see his former self in him. "Qian'an, with your current strength and skills, you can indeed try learning spirit forging. However, spirit forging is different from thousand-fold forging. It requires you to have a deeper understanding and comprehension of metals, as well as stronger soul power and mental strength. You need to be fully prepared."

Ye Qi'an nodded firmly with a determined look in his eyes and said, "Teacher, I understand. I will study spirit forging diligently."

Siyuan smiled and patted Ye Qi'an on the shoulder, "Alright, from now on, I will begin to teach you the art of spirit forging. The key to spirit forging lies in integrating one's own soul power and spiritual power into the metal, giving it the aura of life..."
