Douluo: Legend of the Dragon King - The Voice of the Purple Emperor

Chapter 118 Auspicious Omens

He might not believe anyone else, but there is one person he can unconditionally trust: Gu You.

Zhuo Shi didn't know what the reappearance of a mythical beast meant, but Gu You's appearance meant that he could do this feat—a terrifying ability to turn the illusory into real, tangible objects.

Gu You's life force was evaporating. This power was naturally abnormal, but life energy was not infinite. Even the life energy of a planet would eventually be exhausted. He could devour the lives of others for his own benefit, or he could use his own life to forcibly revive others. The current situation clearly indicated the latter. Gu You was draining his own life to save this little imperial beast.

Suddenly, the third eye on the head of the little imperial auspicious beast opened, and golden light burst forth in the cave, so bright that Gu Yue and the others could not open their eyes.

A golden halo surrounded Gu You; this was a power unique to destiny, and he felt an ultimate sense of sublimation.

Auspicious omens accompany you; you are the chosen one.

The fortune of the Douluo world is divided into two types: one belongs exclusively to soul beasts, and the other belongs exclusively to humans. The current ruler of the plane favors humans, and the fortune of soul beasts has almost been exhausted.

However, the fortune of the soul beasts in this virtual world is still immense, not to mention the existence of the Emperor Beast. Now, Gu You has taken over this fortune, and the Little Emperor Beast has also materialized. This means that once you leave here, you can carry the fortune with you. In name, Gu You is the Child of Fortune!

The power of luck is mysterious and boundless. Sometimes you might find a million dollars on the side of the road, but that's not what the strong need. The reason why the strong value luck is that when they are outmatched in a battle, they rely on luck to survive. Moreover, the existence of luck can increase a cultivator's cultivation speed by many times and make breakthroughs in cultivation much more successful.

But the process of transmitting life force has not yet ended. Gu You's hair has turned white, but his face is still as young as ever, and his pupils are purplish-black. Now, with a string of white hair, he looks exceptionally beautiful.

As his bodily functions continued to decline, Gu You knew he could no longer use his own life force to transfer energy. Instead, he switched to divine power. Divine power was naturally inferior to life energy, but the title of "god" in divine power was not given lightly. Once soul power ascended to the divine realm, it would be transformed into divine power. Divine power contained longevity substances, and even after leaving the divine realm, these substances could still exist for a long time. What does longevity mean? Isn't that eternal life?

Although Gu You's divine power was domineering, after careful adjustment, it could be used as life force. Moreover, he had stored a lot of divine power. According to Gu You's calculations, the divine power he received from each seal of the Dragon God could last for 30,000 years! This was only the result of two seals. Furthermore, this 30,000 years referred to continuous use, so there was no need to worry about wasting it. If things went as expected, Gu You would be able to generate his own divine power when the ninth seal was broken.

Xie Xie watched with curiosity the fluctuations of power emanating from Gu You. His martial spirit was excited, absorbing some of the divine energy around him in his spare time. Xie Xie felt an indescribable comfort throughout his body.

Seeing that Gu You didn't get angry with them, Xu Xiaoyan breathed a sigh of relief. At the same time, she looked curiously at the ten-thousand-year spirit ring accompanying Gu You. It was clearly not Gu You's spirit ring. After all, spirit rings are usually released in their entirety. Historically, no one would be foolish enough to have nine spirit rings but only release one during a fight. Wouldn't that just give the opponent an opening? No matter how strong your physical body is as a Title Douluo, as long as the opponent is at least three levels below you, they can still break through your defenses and launch a killing blow. By then, it will be too late to react. After all, a Soul Emperor's speed at full power is a terrifying 500 meters per second.

Was it prepared for her?

Xu Xiaoyan had an idea. Gu You had said not long ago that he would prepare a ten-thousand-year soul ring for her. To be honest, she didn't believe it at the time. After all, a Soul Master's body was weak, how could he possibly absorb it?

But when Xu Xiaoyan saw Gu You's strange abilities, she realized that Gu You was telling the truth!

Gu Yue's usually cold face trembled as she sensed Gu You's divine power. It was so familiar, so incredibly familiar—this was the Dragon God's divine power.

However, Gu Yue didn't believe in these things. After all, the power fluctuations of each god were different. The Dragon God was already dead, so how could she still exist? Besides, her existence was proof enough, wasn't it?

Gu Yue's heart was filled with complex emotions. That was divine power! She couldn't even use it now, and even after finding the core of the Dragon God, it would still be difficult. But Gu You in front of her used it as if it were a piece of cake. She, the Soul Beast Master, had been fooled. How could he feel so weak? If Gu You sided with the humans, she would have no chance of winning at all. Perhaps only a Dragon God at this stage could put up a fight.

Gu Yue felt it was necessary for her to have a deep conversation with Gu You. She would test him after revealing her identity. Right now, she still had the ability to kill Gu You at the cost of her life. But once he grew stronger, she would be lucky to even injure him, let alone kill him.

The ceremony seemed to be nearing its end, and the little imperial beast's body was completely healed.

Tweet!

The Three-Eyed Golden Lion let out a cry. Her third eye had been opened, and she had inherited the destiny. Gu You's fourth soul ring dimmed, and he clutched his chest with difficulty, kneeling on the ground.

The loss of life meant that Gu You's lifespan was not long. His face was bloodless, milky white, which matched his white hair, making him look especially tragic and handsome.

Xie Xie wanted to come over to help him up, but Gu You waved his hand behind him. He stood up and, under Gu Yue's strange gaze, Gu You grabbed his two hands like he was carrying a dog, placed them on his chest, and picked up his two paws.

"From now on, this will be my pet!" Gu Youling smiled faintly, wondering what kind of expression the large imperial beast would have when it found out.

The little imperial beast did not resist, letting Gu You drag it along.

"Oh? I remember now, Xiao Yan, you're just one step away from the level 30 threshold. I'll guide your soul ring, which will also help you break through. Your third soul ring is really ruthless, a 20,000-year-old forest king, the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear!" Gu You then remembered that he had a 10,000-year-old soul ring and needed to find someone to absorb it quickly, otherwise it would disappear immediately.

Upon hearing that it was a Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear's spirit ring, Xie Xie could only inwardly curse repeatedly. It was equivalent to an ordinary spirit beast that had been around for 200,000 years, whose strength was at least between level 92 and 94 of a human Title Douluo.

He was killed by Gu You just like that? Even with such a high-level soul ring configuration and significant boosts, to achieve such a feat is still unbelievable...
