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

Chapter 156 The Rising Dragon Pillar?

No matter how many secrets there are, no matter how well they are hidden, they will eventually be revealed one day. Perhaps that time will be long, or perhaps it will be short.

Inside the Soul Tower,

Gu You discovered that his spiritual power could not sense the mandala snake.

Then there is only one possibility.

The ground began to undulate, the earth trembled slightly, and bits of gravel and soil spilled out. Underground, this was imperceptible to spiritual energy. If Gu You hadn't possessed high spiritual energy, he probably wouldn't have felt even this slight tremor.

Gu You raised four Qi and Blood Soul Rings, intending to use them to force back the Mandala Serpent.

Generally speaking, no matter what kind of spirit beast it is, it will absolutely ignore the suppression of the dragon's bloodline.

But Gu You's plan backfired. The ground beneath his feet suddenly caved in, and the enormous head of the Mandala Serpent lifted him into the sky.

Feeling powerless in mid-air, the Mandala Serpent opened its enormous mouth and swallowed Gu You with lightning speed.

The Shrek Academy students watching from outside the screen immediately stood up. This was a Mandragora Serpent! A single drop of venom from an ordinary hundred-year-old Mandragora Serpent could kill an adult. Not to mention this Mandragora Serpent, which had somehow reached the hundred-thousand-year level. The venom in its mouth would probably cause even a Limit Douluo a great deal of pain if bitten.

"You don't need to worry. If something really happens to him, our system will detect the danger and remove him immediately. Besides, this is virtual, so it will only be psychological trauma, at most he'll become a vegetable." Leng Yaozhu chuckled from afar. If Gu You were so easy to kill, would he still be Gu You?

Seeing that Tianfeng Douluo had spoken, the Shrek Academy members could only sit down and silently watch the screen in the distance.

The datura snake's body was extremely long, and Gu You felt as if he were on a slide, slowly descending to the bottom inside its belly. The surrounding slime was disgusting, corroding his skin.

Gu You showed no panic. A purple light flashed in his eyes, and a powerful aura began to emanate from him.

The mandala serpent is still in the sky; is it floating? It's simply a miracle of the mandala serpent race.

But the good fortune didn't last long. The datura serpent in the sky hissed, looking at its belly in panic as purple light filled its entire body.

It began to expand, and continued to expand.

The lower half of the datura snake inflated like a balloon.

The datura snake kept thrashing its lower body, it was in great pain, but then it stopped!

hum!

It exploded, gushing out green blood, and the datura snake fell directly to the ground.

Gu You descended from the sky, crashing heavily onto an ancient tree. The tree trembled, stubbornly supporting him. After removing the slime from his body with destructive power, Gu You awaited the system's voice.

"Congratulations! You have passed the 99th floor of the Soul Tower. You can now absorb the special 100,000-year-old Mandragora Serpent."

A burst of soul light flashed from the Mandragora Snake's body, and a small, illusory image of the Mandragora Snake appeared.

Gu You approached the illusory figure and asked curiously, "Aren't you afraid of my bloodline suppression?"

The Mandragora Snake flicked its tongue. As a 100,000-year-old soul beast, its intelligence even surpassed that of an average adult. "Why should I be afraid?"

Gu You fell silent. He didn't know if the snake in front of him had this innate talent, but he knew that if the Mandala Snake was truly nurtured with pure dragon blood, it would definitely be able to transform into a five-clawed golden dragon, just like Tang Wulin's later transformation.

It might not be gold in color, but it's definitely a five-claw level item.

Legend has it that the Dragon God has nine claws, and the other nine Dragon Kings under his command all have eight claws.

"Follow me, this world will only limit you." Gu You looked at the little mandrake snake in front of him.

"No, they promised me they would give me that thing." The datura snake shook its head.

"What is it?" Gu You's doubts deepened; there was definitely a story behind it.

"A bone, like a stone tablet for you humans, is very useful to me," the Mandragora Serpent whispered.

Stone tablet?

Gu You thought about it carefully. What exactly was this stone tablet that allowed the Mandragora Serpent to evolve to such a level? Moreover, judging from the current situation, it was definitely related to the Dragon Clan.

Just looking at the dragon horns of the Mandragora snake can completely explain it. Everyone says that snakes can transform into dragons, but what those people don't know is that some snakes can transform into dragons because of their innate bloodline. Perhaps it can't be seen when they are young, but once their abilities are truly awakened, transforming into a dragon is only a matter of time.

To illustrate, imagine you take a small snake and give it unimaginable resources. Aside from improving its bloodline quality and innate talents, it's destined never to become a dragon. It might evolve into a python, but it will never become a jiao (a mythical dragon-like creature), because its potential is limited.

The bloodline of the Mandragora snake is naturally stronger than that of ordinary snakes, but it's nowhere near enough to transform into a dragon, ruling out bloodline achievements. That leaves only the second possibility: external factors interfering…

It seems this Spirit Pagoda hides many secrets. Gu You frowned slightly.

If we're only talking about the stone tablet, he did think of something.

Rising Dragon Pillar!

The Dragon God independently developed this super artifact, using his own primordial power.

It can enhance the dragons' cultivation, helping them break through realms and maintain their peak strength. It plays a crucial role not only when dragons break through to godhood but is also extremely powerful in battle; in Douluo Continent IV, it was shown that it could destroy a planet. Furthermore, the Dragon Ascension Pillar is the core of the dragon race, greatly benefiting their mental stability and playing a vital role in their prosperity.

But it has another function, which applies not only to dragons but to all soul beasts: enhancement! Enhancement of bloodline, enhancement of breakthrough realm, enhancement of talent.

Unfortunately, this divine artifact disappeared after the great battle of the Dragon God.

I don't know where it got lost. Maybe it's still in the realm of gods, or maybe it drifted through the starry sky after the spacetime turbulence erupted.

In fact, even if the Dragon God were just a piece of trash tossed aside, it would be a treasure. A single wisp of power emanating from it could be absorbed by an ordinary soul beast through some method, enough to evolve it into a high-level soul beast.

In short, Gu You must find the Ascending Dragon Pillar in the future. But before that, his current situation is somewhat like a smaller version of the Ascending Dragon Pillar's function. It can evolve soul beasts and improve their bloodlines. If he can find it and place it in his spiritual world, it will definitely be a good tool to enhance the strength of the soul beasts in the sea, and also a tool to enhance his spiritual power. After all, the stronger the soul beasts in his mind, the stronger his spiritual power will be.

I've already planned out the ancient tour, since that thing looks like a monument...
