Douluo Continent: I Have a Diverse Order-Taking Platform

"Om one"

The nine-colored pillar of light fell and completely dissipated in an instant, just as Liu Yuan's figure emerged from it.

But he soon discovered that a special kind of energy had somehow entered his body.

This caused all soul power to become dormant, suppressed to the point that it could not be exerted at all, and could not be mobilized at all.

This made it impossible for him to activate his martial spirit.

In other words, soul tools are basically unusable, and one can only rely on one's own physical body from now on.

"This is really troublesome."

Liu Yuan frowned slightly.

He remembered that Tang Wulin from the Legend of the Dragon King era spent two years in this small world called "Dragon Valley." Although there might be no danger here, the kid couldn't be unarmed.

After careful consideration, he decided to try activating the storage soul tool. Due to its special nature, Liu Yuan discovered that it could still be used with some mental energy. However, the mental energy consumption was at least several times higher than normal.

Then, in a flash of light, a spear resembling the Soul-Shattering Spear appeared in his hand. This was the spear he used to practice the spear techniques of the Breaking Clan before he possessed his third soul skill; it was quite a formidable weapon.

It's more than enough for self-defense.

However, what puzzled Liu Yuan was why this mission teleportation didn't directly transport him to the main target, but instead placed him here.

He didn't think there was anything wrong with the platform.

On the contrary, I think that putting him here might be for some other purpose by the task issuer.

"Well, let's take it one step at a time."

Liu Yuan wasn't in a hurry.

In his memory, Dragon Valley was used as a training ground during the era of the Dragon King legend. If there were no benefits, why would it have been like that?

Since we're already here, let's take a good look around.

Liu Yuan walked forward, carefully observing his surroundings. He was currently in what appeared to be a hilly area, seemingly devoid of animal tracks, eerily quiet, with even the vegetation sparse. Standing atop a small hill, he gazed into the distance, but the air was thick with mist, making it difficult to see clearly.

Furthermore, the gravity in this small world is slightly greater than that in Douluo Continent, though not by a huge margin, about 0.5 times greater. This is unprecedented in any of the parallel worlds I've visited before.

It seems to be an exception in this small world.

After Liu Yuan left the hilly area, he found that there was an open plain ahead.

But less than a hundred meters above the ground, patches of clouds of various colors drifted by. Red, orange, yellow, green, cyan, blue, and violet—all were present.

Although these clouds are drifting, each color of cloud fluctuates within a certain area and does not stray far from its location, like a kite tethered to its spot by a string. Even more strangely, these clouds are constantly changing shape.

They vaguely resemble dragons.

"This must be Long Yun—"

Liu Yuan could naturally see that these clouds were not simple, and he could also vaguely sense that there was a special energy in each of these clouds.

After searching through my memories of my past life, I finally remembered what this type of cloud was called.

However, Liu Yuan couldn't quite recall their specific uses. But one thing was certain: these dragon clouds could bring certain benefits to Soul Masters.

Thinking of this—

"Then let's try it ourselves." After scanning the dragon clouds of various colors, Liu Yuan finally locked his gaze on a green dragon cloud that was close at hand. After locking onto it with his mental power, he reached out and gently beckoned.

The next second, the green cloud in the sky suddenly twisted and then began to spin in the air, forming a funnel-shaped vortex as it swirled around.

Immediately afterwards, it suddenly descended from the sky, like a streak of light, and shot straight toward Liu Yuanfei.

Since this was originally Liu Yuan's plan, and since the power of fate did not issue a warning, meaning there was no danger, he let the green cloud rush towards him.

As the green clouds descended from the sky, a strong fog instantly swept in, completely enveloping Liu Yuan.

At this moment, Liu Yuan, as the person involved, did not feel any impact. The only thing he felt was a gentle feeling that instantly flowed into his body from his limbs and bones. This was the energy from the wood element, which seemed to be full of vitality and all things were thriving.

Liu Yuan frowned.

Such pure and refined elemental energy of heaven and earth!

But before he could fully grasp it—

The green cloud impact came quickly and went quickly.

It was as if the energy had passed through Liu Yuan's body and then risen again. But when the green cloud rose, Liu Yuan felt a surge of heat within his body, as if he had undergone a process of tempering his body with ice and fire. Even his limbs and bones felt as if they had been ironed.

Liu Yuan was certain that his physique had also benefited from this dragon cloud. Even if the benefit was insignificant, it could accumulate over time.

"Buzz"

As the green cloud rose into the sky, a faint emerald gold hue appeared within it. That was the color of the Origin Willow Martial Soul, and also the color of the "Child of Nature."

As the green cloud rose to its original height, it began to twist violently, seemingly doing something unknown.

But at this moment, Liu Yuan, who had experienced the baptism of the dragon cloud, had a different feeling. The arrival of this energy seemed to fill the void that had been sealed by the environment here since he came to Dragon Valley.

Although he still couldn't use his martial soul, the aura from the Yuanliu martial soul and the aura of the natural domain involuntarily surged forth at this moment!

It was this aura that caused the other colored clouds in the distance, which had been relatively still, to suddenly find an outlet, and the clouds began to surge violently.

In an instant, they swarmed toward Liu Yuan.

Of course, the term "swarming" depends on the situation.

Not all dragon clouds rush forward like this. More often, they drift slowly forward, seemingly indifferent.

For example, fire attribute, dark attribute, etc.

Besides--

Almost instantly, a blue cloud rushed into his body, bringing a refreshing sensation that felt like nourishing all things.

As the blue clouds representing the water element swept by, the yellow clouds representing the earth element and the cyan clouds representing the wind element followed in quick succession, coming and going.

And so, a dozen or so nearby clouds entered his body and then rose back into the air.

Each cloud, compared to before it entered his body, had an extra layer of emerald gold after it left. Liu Yuan, however, showed no intention of doing anything about it.

He could clearly feel the energy fluctuations that were penetrating his body nourishing him, and various compatible elements were also merging with his body.

After all, his status speaks for itself.

[Children of Nature]

Wouldn't this attract the favor of natural elements?

After another dragon cloud passed through Liu Yuan's body in this area, he felt uncomfortable all over, as if nothing was right.

It's not that I'm sick.

It's simply because I ate too much and got too full!

No!

I need to take some time to process this.

Thinking of this, Liu Yuan decisively sat down cross-legged and entered a meditative state in just a few breaths.

Liu Yuan could keenly sense that, compared to other elements, the primordial energy formed by the three elements of light, wood, and life was most advantageous to him.

Secondly, there are water and soil.

It's fairly average, but it's usable.

Finally, there are fire and darkness. Their effect on Liu Yuan isn't actually that significant.

However, the three elements that are most beneficial to Liu Yuan are very rare in the entire region.

But now that he has such a good opportunity to cultivate, Liu Yuan naturally will not let it go.

So he walked further away, and sure enough, he hadn't gone far when some dragon clouds that he hadn't absorbed and that matched his aura seemed to sense his aura's call and fell from the sky, surging into his body.

But after only a short while, that feeling of fullness returned. However, this time it was slightly less intense.

Next, Liu Yuan repeated what he had done before.

But after the first attempt, he eliminated all the elements that didn't fit Liu Yuan's condition, such as fire, darkness, and lightning. As a result, his energy gain was reduced by more than half.

However, Liu Yuan was not upset.

Since he can't absorb much on his own, why not choose what suits him best and absorb more?

As for the extent of the benefits that the element's absorption could bring—to be honest, Liu Yuan didn't really know.

However, he could feel that his vitality had increased after being infused with the elements. Not only that, his mental strength and physical strength had also improved significantly.

Just after Liu Yuan finished digesting his food, he suddenly opened his eyes.

He suddenly stood up!

Holding the spear, his expression instantly became alert.

The next second, "Roar—"

A deep roar resounded.

From the woods at the edge of the plain, a figure emerged from the trees. The moment Liu Yuan recognized who it was, his eyes widened in shock!

It was a ground dragon with its two legs supporting it on the ground and no wings on its back. But it was not a physical entity; rather, it appeared as a transparent, iron-gray color, clearly an energy form.

Just as it was about to charge, and Liu Yuan was about to make his move—

"Sizzle—"

"6

The earth dragon suddenly braked, coming to a steady stop right in front of Liu Yuan. It was just a hair's breadth away from piercing the dragon's head with the spear tip.

Who would have thought—

"Huh!?"

This earth dragon formed from energy not only let out a childish voice, but also tilted its head to the side, giving off an "inquiring" look.

Liu Yuan: ? ? ?

Three large, invisible question marks appeared.

Now it was his turn to be dumbfounded.

Liu Yuan glanced at the spear pressed against the energy dragon's brow, and although he remained vigilant, he still moved the spear tip back a forearm's length.

As Liu Yuan continued to examine the energy dragon, a thought suddenly popped into his mind.

He glanced behind the energy dragon and tentatively asked, "Did someone ask you to lead the way?"

Having said that, he couldn't help but sigh. It was just an energy dragon; could it possibly understand human speech?

To Liu Yuan's surprise once again—

"Hmm!" The energy dragon nodded first, then shook its head, and then pointed to itself with its front paws. This indicated that the one looking for you was not a "human," but a "dragon."

He then turned around and then turned his head again, signaling Liu Yuan to follow.

Upon seeing this, Liu Yuan was immediately startled.

I can actually understand it.

Just as he was thinking this, the measurable earth dragon had already rushed forward.

Seeing this, Liu Yuan quickly followed.

Gradually, he followed the energy dragon away from the plains. But not long after, suddenly, he heard a rustling sound in front of him.

"Something else has arrived?"

Liu Yuan frowned slightly and stopped walking.

Suddenly, a group of small dragons, also composed of energy, appeared in his field of vision. They were also earth dragons, but unlike the earth dragon that had led the way, they were not of the same kind.

These little dragons are only a little over half a meter tall.

They walk on two legs and are very fast. They have large heads with open mouths revealing a mouthful of fangs. They have no wings and are relatively primitive velociraptors.

At this moment, they completely ignored the energy dragon that was also an energy being and was leading the way for Liu Yuan, and instead focused all their attention on Liu Yuan.

The first hint of curiosity in their eyes was that of the little dragons, who had never seen a human before in this world.

But soon, their wildness and instincts made a choice. They galloped forward, quickly surrounding Liu Yuan, their mouths wide open in a ferocious manner.

That's it?

Liu Yuan could tell their level at a glance.

A fleeting look of disdain crossed his eyes.

Just as he was about to wipe them out with a single shot—

"Hoichi"

The dragon that had been leading the way suddenly let out a powerful roar, and a beam of white light shone from its body, radiating towards the group of smaller dragons.

In an instant, the group of little dragons that had been so ferocious just moments before revealed themselves with human-like fear and terror, immediately prostrating themselves on the ground, not daring to move at all.

At this moment, the energy dragons seemed to be their masters.

Liu Yuan: 6

""

He slowly lowered the spear.

Although he wasn't curious about the hierarchical relationship between the Energy Earth Dragon and the group of smaller dragons, Liu Yuan felt it was necessary to take the Energy Earth Dragon's newly erupted, and still-maintaining, light energy seriously.

Because the essence of this power far surpasses the Sea God's Light unleashed when Moon mobilized the Golden Ancient Tree. If we consider the strength of its attributes—

It's inevitable that it will far exceed the ultimate.

"Roar—"

Seeing the group of little dragons subdued, the energy dragon was quite pleased with itself. Turning its head, it saw Liu Yuan still pondering, so it ran to his side and gestured for him to continue following.

Although he was supposed to be doing serious business, the energy dragon couldn't stop being smug, even though he was just taking advantage of the situation.

Liu Yuan also noticed this.

I couldn't help but chuckle to myself:

It seems to be a child dragon as well.

He reached out and, just like he would with a dog, gave him an encouraging pat.

"Great job, you're great!"

Energy Earth Dragon: (*≧ω≤)

Great technique!

So comfortable~

But it quickly realized what was happening.

wrong!

The Dragon King gave me a task!

It could only suppress the feeling of comfort, break free from the gentle embrace that it had been in, grunt at Liu Yuan, and then continue its frantic run forward.

Seeing this, Liu Yuan quickly followed.

He's very curious now about who issued the mission.

Of course, Liu Yuan already had a guess about this question: it was the First Holy Dragon King.

Also, why am I so far away from the person who issued the task?

Was it done by the platform?

Unlikely.

So after thinking it over, there's only one answer: this is most likely a requirement from the task issuer.

But why is that?

With these thoughts in mind, Liu Yuan followed the energy dragon. He could sense that they were heading towards the center of Dragon Valley.

In other words, it's the burial ground of the dragons!

As Liu Yuan ventured deeper into the realm, he encountered numerous energy dragons. However, their numbers gradually decreased dramatically from the initial abundance, and each subsequent encounter turned out to be with true energy dragons.

Logically, the energy dragon should launch an attack.

However, when the measurable earth dragon that was leading Liu Yuan emitted a white light, they all took the initiative to avoid it.

Soon, they arrived at the summit of the side of a valley.

The valley was completely collapsed inwards; it was more like a basin than a valley. But when the energy dragon led Liu Yuan to the edge of the valley and looked inside, Liu Yuan couldn't help but tremble violently.

For the first time, he felt that "mountains of bones and corpses everywhere" was not just an adjective, but a real scene.

What a sight this is! Looking out, the valley below stretches as far as the eye can see, and in the distance, twilight descends, with a faint mist rising in the air.

In that valley, which is a thousand meters deep, countless enormous bones covered every corner.

The energy dragon arrived at the edge of the valley, roaring...

The tender sound echoed across the sky.

There was no response, only desolation.

"Sigh."

Liu Yuan sighed.

Looking around, one can imagine that at least a thousand true dragons have perished here, their bodies left exposed in the wilderness without even a single grave.

Sad!

In his memory, the destruction of the dragon race seemed to be due to the Dragon God's attempt to overthrow the rule of human gods and allow beast gods to dominate the divine realm, thus triggering a great war. In the end, the Dragon God was defeated, resulting in the elimination of all soul beast races, including the dragons.

To put it bluntly, this is a power struggle.

As a human soul master, Liu Yuan could also be considered a hidden beneficiary of the victory in that divine war.

So aside from expressing regret and sighing, Liu Yuan didn't say anything else.

In this power struggle, neither side deserves pity, and neither side is innocent.

Looking at the sorrowful energy dragon, Liu Yuan stroked his chin before asking, "Shall we go down?"

When asked this question, the energy dragon came to its senses.

After nodding, it barked at him. Then, without looking back, it jumped down.

It's an energy body, so jumping down directly won't cause any accidents.

Liu Yuan estimated the height and realized that if he didn't take the baton and jumped down directly, he would likely fall to his death, and then what would be the point of completing the mission?

So, after the energy dragon had already landed and even waited for a while at the bottom of the valley, Liu Yuan finally set off. His body plummeted downwards for several meters as if in freefall, then he used his spear to embed itself in the stone wall, and in this way, he quickly descended into the valley.

Finally, Liu Yuan reached the bottom of the valley in just a few minutes. The moment he landed, a desolate aura emanated from all directions, as if to freeze one's mind.

Looking at all this, Liu Yuan silently stepped forward and rubbed the little head of the energy dragon.

However, the little guy didn't appreciate it.

He shook his head and continued walking forward.

I've seen it all before, and I'm even a part of it myself. Would I be sad? Of course not!

After all, anyone who has died knows that the dead don't feel sad after looking at their own remains too often.

Liu Yuan: "————"

"Heh, this little guy is quite arrogant."

Only after Liu Yuan truly entered the valley could he truly appreciate the sheer awe-inspiring sight of so many dragon bones. Each massive skeleton ranged in height from tens of meters to hundreds of meters. Even now, these bones still emitted faint, emanating energy fluctuations, causing Liu Yuan to feel a chill run down his spine.

These remains, reduced to mere skeletons, resemble lurking behemoths. If these true dragons were still alive, just how powerful would they be?!

It should be noted that even the weakest skeletons of these deceased dragons were comparable to those of human titled Douluo when they were alive.

So, what about those enormous skeletons that are hundreds of meters tall? How powerful must they have been in life?

Based on Di Tian's size, as one of the few remaining true dragons in the Douluo Continent, Di Tian's soul beast form is probably over a thousand meters long.

These dragons, which are hundreds of meters long, must at least possess the cultivation level of ferocious beasts, making them truly terrifying!

And they must also possess soul bones.

However, Liu Yuan quickly dismissed the thought as soon as it arose. This was because places like Dragon Valley were still ruled by the remnants of deities' souls.

Want it?

The question is, even if you have the ability, do you have the life to claim it?

When Liu Yuan, led by the energy dragon, ventured deep into the central area, he finally stopped.

"Hoichi"

A powerful dragon roar, vast and boundless.

The moment the dragon's roar resounded, the entire Dragon Valley seemed to boil over, with the roar echoing continuously.

Instantly, the energy dragon lay prostrate on the ground.

Upon hearing this, Liu Yuan's heart skipped a beat!

The main character has arrived!

The next second, a phantom-shaped platinum dragon, riding on churning dragon clouds, emerged with its massive head, like a dragon-shaped sun rising slowly in the sky above Dragon Valley, illuminating the world with its sacred light.

Liu Yuan's pupils contracted.

really!

The one who issued the mission was the first Holy Dragon King!

At this moment, the platinum dragon's eyes opened and closed, casting a gaze that was ancient, stoic, and majestic.

Facing that gaze, Liu Yuan felt as if he were being stared at by some great terror. Cold sweat involuntarily poured down his back without him even realizing it.

"You've arrived?"

Liu Yuan: ? ? ?

Accepting the task you posted is practically the same as you asking me to do it, right? Do I really need to ask that?

Before Liu Yuan could speak, the Holy Dragon King let out a mournful sigh, like a lament, echoing endlessly throughout Dragon Valley.

"sorry!"

Liu Yuan's pupils dilated in shock: !!!

Is this your way of confessing?! But the problem is, with this nonsensical statement, who are you apologizing to?

It couldn't be me, could it?
