Douluo Amon: I am the Heavenly Venerable of the Dragon King.

Chapter 539 Emerald Bird Blue Sparrow

Dragon Valley Miniature World.

"Come, my true form. I am ready." Tianqian, who had transformed back into a dragon, lowered his nine heads and gazed at the small Nan Fusheng before him.

"Okay." Nan Fusheng nodded, held his breath, and mobilized the powerful spiritual energy within his body. As his hands moved, the invisible spiritual energy was like agile threads, slowly outlining strange runes that emitted a mysterious halo in mid-air. It was the improved Soul Contract.

"roar--"

The nine heads of the Heavenly Punishment roared to the sky in unison, their roars so powerful they seemed to shatter the heavens.

In an instant, a deep and dense purplish-black energy surged out from its massive body, like a surging torrent of energy, instantly enveloping Nan Fusheng's figure.

From the outside, a huge purplish-black energy sphere floated in mid-air, emitting a powerful and chilling energy fluctuation, tightly enveloping the man and the beast within this mysterious energy space, as if isolating them from the entire world.

Amidst this terrifying and violent energy rampage, Fusheng-1, who was quietly watching from the sidelines, had a slight change in expression.

As an avatar, his strength is relatively weak compared to his main body. If the surging energy aftershocks were to affect him, it would likely cause incalculable damage.

So, he darted away and quickly hid behind the softly glowing purplish-silver crystal, using the crystal's natural barrier to resist the impact of this powerful energy.

"This guy is making way too much noise." Just then, a clear and lively voice rang out beside Fusheng No. 1, breaking the brief silence.

Looking to the side, Fusheng No. 1 spotted a small bird, about a foot in size. The bird was covered in emerald green feathers, as if carved from jade, radiating a warm and captivating luster.

Its pale green pupils, like clear lake water, are deep and lively, revealing a wisdom that surpasses that of ordinary creatures.

What's most remarkable is that, despite being a bird, its face displays an extremely rich and human-like range of expressions, clearly revealing joy, anger, sorrow, and happiness, allowing one to discern its inner emotional changes at a glance.

"It's Qingque. Why don't you go absorb the energy of the Dragon God's core? Instead, you have time to come and see the main body." Fusheng No. 1 said calmly, gently pushing up his exquisite monocle, a hint of doubt in his eyes.

This little bird named Qingque was the Emerald Demon Bird, which Nan Fusheng had designated as his eighth soul spirit. Although it was fortunate enough to awaken the Fate attribute, this Fate attribute was extremely peculiar, even somewhat bizarre.

Its destiny ability gives each of its attacks a certain probability of critical hits, true damage, or piercing.

When the damage is low, it deals normal damage; when the damage is high, it can even deal critical damage that is not at its level, making it extremely unpredictable.

This is why its combat performance is like a rollercoaster ride, fluctuating and full of uncertainty.

When luck is on its side, it can easily defeat a 100,000-year-old soul beast with overwhelming force, and even dare to compete with powerful ferocious beasts, demonstrating its formidable strength.

However, if it is unlucky, its strength will be greatly reduced, and at best it will only be slightly stronger than a typical top-level soul beast.

Because of its unique destiny attribute, Nan Fusheng decided to make it a soul spirit. In his view, it was just a soul ring slot, and he had enough confidence and courage to take the gamble, since opportunity and risk always go hand in hand.

Of course, what's more important is Qingque's true innate ability, [World Harmony], which is the key to Nan Fusheng's decision.

[World Harmony]: This ability can inflict misfortune on the other party while increasing one's own luck; it is an ability that can influence the other party's fate.

It can weaken opponents by reducing their luck. Even if an opponent has good fortune, it can absorb misfortune and use it to offset it, thus creating a fighting environment most favorable to itself.

This ability is somewhat complicated to explain, but simply put, it means that by inflicting misfortune on an opponent, one can weaken their combat power. At the same time, one can enhance their own combat power by absorbing good fortune.

Even if one is injured, one can treat that injury as misfortune and transfer it to the opponent. In short, unless one is instantly killed, this ability is invincible among those of the same level.

Since Qingque was born relatively recently, Nan Fusheng did not rush to transform it into a spirit immediately. Instead, he chose to temporarily raise it in the Dragon Valley Small World, allowing it to fully absorb the pure and powerful energy emitted by the Dragon God's core, thereby promoting its rapid growth and transformation.

Although its cultivation level is only 20,000 years, perhaps due to the special blessing of the destiny attribute, Qingque is able to speak human language and communicate fluently with people, just like those 100,000-year-old soul beasts with profound cultivation.

Upon hearing Fusheng No. 1's question, Qingque rolled her eyes, her lively appearance quite charming and cute.

It said with some dissatisfaction, "You've made such a commotion here, it's as if you've turned the whole Dragon Valley Small World upside down. I can't even get a moment's peace and quiet."

"Besides, the Dragon God's core was just swallowed by this guy, so what else can I use to absorb?" As it spoke, it flapped its small wings and pointed in the direction of the purple-white crystal.

"What!" Upon hearing this, Fusheng No. 1 was startled, and a look of astonishment appeared on his face.

He quickly turned his gaze to the top of the purple-white crystal. Looking closely, he saw that the two rhomboid crystals that had been hovering in the air, as well as the nine-colored time worm that served as the energy fusion device, had disappeared without a trace, as if they had never been there at all.

Fusheng No. 1 immediately asked, "Do you know when the Dragon God's core was swallowed?"

Qingque tilted her head, thought for a moment, and then said, "It was just now. I had carefully built a small nest on this purple-white crystal so that I could sleep comfortably and absorb the energy emitted by the Dragon God's core. It was a win-win situation."

"However, just now, this purple-white crystal suddenly erupted with a powerful burst of soul energy without warning, blowing away the nest I had painstakingly built. Immediately afterwards, I saw the Dragon God Core and the Time Worm being sucked into it."

Fusheng No. 1 nodded slightly, his expression gradually returning to calm, replaced by a thoughtful look. He slowly said, "I see. It seems it has entered a completely new stage, and its true emergence into the world is probably not far off."

The bluebird hopped lightly onto Fusheng No. 1's head, playfully tapped it with its wing, and said:

"Instead of this, shouldn't you be concerned about my lair first? I painstakingly built it, and now this sudden turn of events has destroyed it all. What do you suggest we do?"

Fusheng No. 1 rolled its eyes at it helplessly and said irritably, "It's just a bird's nest. You can just rebuild it after this is over. It's not a difficult thing."

"Hey, what are you saying?!" Qingque immediately protested, hopping around on Fusheng No. 1's head, quite agitated. "Even if it's just an ordinary bird's nest, I still painstakingly built it. How can you just destroy it and build it like that?"

"So what exactly do you want?" Fusheng No. 1 looked at Qingque with a helpless expression, his eyes revealing a hint of compromise.

Qingque's eyes darted around, and a sly smile appeared on her face. She said, "Help me rebuild a new nest. My requirements aren't high; just make it a little more luxurious than the old one."

"Then talk to him after things are settled on the main body," Fusheng No. 1 said, having no other choice.

"It's a deal!" Blue Sparrow flapped its wings excitedly, as if it could already see its incredibly luxurious new nest.

And so, the man and the bird temporarily stopped arguing and turned their gaze back to the direction where Nan Fusheng was, their eyes filled with anticipation and curiosity, quietly waiting for what was about to happen.

……

three days later.

"Hey, why aren't they done yet? We've been squatting here for three days and three nights, it's so boring!" Qingque complained to Fusheng No. 1.

This purplish-black energy ball lasted for three days and three nights, and it has not dissipated even now.

Fusheng No. 1 glanced at Qingque, shrugged, and said, "I don't know either, but Tianqian is a true million-year-old soul beast, and it's a soul spirit contract modified from its original form, so it's normal for it to take a while. If you really feel bored, you can go for a walk somewhere else."

"No." Qingque refused without hesitation: "What's there to see here? It's all barren. The Water and Fire Dragon Kings are nurturing the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire, and the giants are too big, plus they're incredibly simple-minded. I have nothing in common with them."

"And those Emerald Birds that were subsequently cultivated by the main body, without being parasitized, all have extremely low intelligence. Looking across this Dragon Valley small world, you are the only one who can speak to me."

Fusheng No. 1 scratched his head and said, "Don't I keep some soul beasts in this Dragon Valley Small World? As the current king of the Emerald Demon Bird clan, you can take them hunting. As long as you don't cause too much trouble, I can turn a blind eye."

"No, I'm not like those stupid birds. You have no idea how they treated me," Qingque said indignantly. "Before, they would always bring me corpses of soul beasts with their brains ruptured. You have no idea how disgusting the brains that ooze out were."

Fusheng No. 1 replied leisurely, "Isn't this normal? When there is prey, the creatures in the group will always offer it as tribute to the king. This is their tribute to you, the king, to express their submission."

Qingque said with some disdain, "I don't want those stupid birds to submit. The oldest of them is only a hundred years old, and most of them are only ten years old. They haven't even developed any intelligence yet. What's the use of these weaklings submitting?"

"Besides, the sight of those silly birds feeding is quite gruesome; hunting with them is pure visual torture. And besides, I don't eat brains, so why would I bring them along?"

Fusheng No. 1 comforted him, "Isn't it because I'm afraid they'll cause some trouble? With you, the oldest Emerald Demon Bird King, around, you can better control them."

The blue sparrow flapped its wings in dissatisfaction. "I don't care. I don't want to stay cooped up here all day. I want to go outside and play too."

"That depends on when the main body will take you in as a spirit. But you're so young right now, I think it's pretty uncertain. Who knows, the main body might suddenly change its mind and not let you become a spirit. In that case, you'll just have to stay here and be the king of this mountain."

Upon hearing this, Qingque glared at Fusheng No. 1 with an unfriendly expression and said fiercely, "If you say that again, I'll suck your brains out."

"Uh." Fusheng No. 1 shrank back and chuckled, "You must be joking, right? Don't you not eat brains?"

"Well, I might make an exception for you today, since my true form is also an Emerald Demon Bird. To be honest, it seems like I've only ever absorbed the energy of the Dragon God's core since birth, and I've never even tasted brain marrow. I'll use you as a practice subject today."

After Qingque finished speaking, it pounced on Fusheng No. 1's forehead and then pecked down hard.

The sound of "dong dong dong" kept ringing out, like someone striking a wooden fish.

"Ouch, stop it! It hurts!"

"boom--"

Just as the person and the bird were playing happily, the purplish-black energy ball finally erupted with a violent energy fluctuation again, and then, like a melting chocolate ball, it began to gradually disintegrate and melt inward.

"Is this the soul core? It's pretty much what I expected."

Nan Fusheng clenched his fist, feeling his abundant soul power, and focused his mind into his soul core, silently sensing its changes.

As he circulated his soul power, Nan Fusheng discovered that deep within the soul core, a small vortex was constantly rotating along with it.

The soul core's ability to draw upon the external energy of heaven and earth will undoubtedly greatly enhance his perception of the outside world and increase his cultivation speed, although it seems that whether it increases or not is irrelevant.

"I'm already level 80, why can't I experience the joy of cultivation?" Nan Fusheng uttered a statement that was extremely Versailles-esque.

Tianqian's soul power cultivation had reached a million years. With her fusion, Nan Fusheng's soul power broke through to Soul Saint in an instant, and was even pushed all the way to Soul Douluo, which saved him a lot of cultivation time.

That's not all. Nan Fusheng could sense that most of the energy of the divine punishment was hidden within his body, increasing his foundation.
