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

Chapter 606 Gu Yuena and Naxi Da

"snort!"

Seeing this, Gu Yuena snorted coldly, raised her elemental staff high again, and her soul power surged around her, ready to use other, more powerful methods to fight to the death against these strange vines.

"Buzz—"

But the next second, emerald green light burst forth from the vines like a surging tide, instantly enveloping the entire living room.

Surrounded by the light, Gu Yuena could clearly feel that the surrounding elements had become incredibly thin in that instant. The various elemental forces that had filled the air seemed to have been rapidly drawn away by an invisible hand, disappearing without a trace.

"Element stripping!"

Gu Yuena's pupils contracted instantly, her heart filled with shock. She never expected that these emerald green vines would possess such an incredible ability—the ability to strip away the surrounding elements.

This was undoubtedly a fatal blow to her, a Soul Master who relied on elemental power in combat. Without the support of the elements, her strength would be greatly reduced, making it even more difficult to defeat the enemy before her.

Although Gu Yuena is not without means to deal with "elemental stripping", given the vast difference in their cultivation levels, even if she were to use them, they would probably be of little use.

Looking at Nan Fusheng, still "unconscious" in her arms, and then at the surging, verdant vines, Gu Yuena felt a strong sense of responsibility and mission. She knew she could not back down and had to protect Nan Fusheng.

The elemental staff in Gu Yuena's hand vanished instantly, as if it had never existed. Then, her pupils instantly turned into vertical slits, the majestic eyes of a dragon.

A terrifying aura suddenly erupted from her body. This aura was powerful and ancient, as if it came from the ancient era of the dragon race.

Her right hand was instantly covered with an oval-shaped layer of silver dragon scales, which shimmered with a cold luster as if they were made of the hardest metal.

Then, Gu Yuena's dragon claw slammed forward, the movement simple yet powerful.

Surprisingly, without her making any unnecessary movements, the emerald green vines were instantly torn into countless fragments as if struck by an invisible, incredibly powerful force. These fragments danced in the air, like withered leaves, slowly drifting down.

"Huh?" A childish voice, tinged with a hint of confusion, suddenly rang out in the quiet space.

The voice seemed to come from the distant sky, yet it also seemed to be right next to my ear, filled with curiosity and surprise, as if it was quite unexpected to see the powerful force that Gu Yuena had displayed.

"Who goes there?! Get out here!"

Gu Yuena's aura suddenly surged, and powerful soul energy fluctuations spread outwards like a surging tide.

This power was magnificent and boundless, carrying an innate sense of majesty and oppression, completely unlike what an ordinary Soul Douluo could unleash.

In fact, Gu Yuena had already secretly drawn upon the power of the sealed Silver Dragon King, but she was extremely cautious and only raised this power to the level of a quasi-god.

If one were to rashly elevate their power to the god-level, it would inevitably trigger a strong rejection from the Douluo Continent, potentially leading to an even more difficult predicament.

"Are you really human?" A clear, childlike voice suddenly rang out, breaking the tense and oppressive atmosphere and successfully attracting Gu Yuena's attention. She quickly shifted her gaze to the other side of the living room.

In the dimly lit corner, a little girl with white hair, as exquisitely sculpted as jade, stood quietly.

The little girl had delicate and lovely features, her fair skin as smooth as mutton fat jade, and her big eyes sparkling with curiosity as she stared intently at Gu Yuena.

Although Nasita appeared incredibly young, like an innocent child, exuding a naive and naive air in every gesture, Gu Yuena did not underestimate her in the slightest because of her youthful appearance.

Because the young girl in front of him was constantly emanating a powerful aura, the intensity of which was no less than that of himself, who was currently at the quasi-god level.

Nasita asked again, "Hey, you still haven't answered my question. Are you really human?"

Hearing Naxida's question, Gu Yuena's face was ashen, her eyes filled with icy coldness, and she had no intention of answering.

"Boring." Nasida looked at Gu Yuena's indifferent appearance and couldn't help but purse her lips, a hint of dissatisfaction on her face.

Immediately afterwards, her aura changed, and the pressure of a quasi-god level erupted without reservation. This pressure was like an invisible mountain, making the surrounding air seem to freeze.

"Woman, hand over the man beside you to me now, and I might consider letting you go." Nasita's voice was still childish and clear, but her words carried an unquestionable tone of command.

"Heh, do you think I'd believe you?" Gu Yuena sneered upon hearing this.

Putting aside the fact that her feelings for Nan Fusheng would make it impossible for her to easily hand him over to this young girl of unknown identity.

Even if she were to hand over Nan Fusheng, based on her assessment of the situation, she knew that the young girl would not let her off easily.

Recalling the ruthless and merciless way the other party had attacked, it was clear that they were determined to kill him.

Even now, Gu Yuena can clearly sense that although the little girl in front of her is smiling on the surface, she is actually full of malice towards her.

Gu Yuena knew that it would be incredibly foolish to lower her guard because of the other party's exquisitely sculpted and adorable face.

Once Nan Fusheng is handed over to the other party, it will be like a lamb entering a tiger's den; the other party will definitely not hesitate to kill him.

Moreover, from the very beginning, Gu Yuena had secretly vowed in her heart that no matter how great the difficulties and dangers, she would never put Nan Fusheng in danger, nor would she hand him over to the enemy.

"Is that so? Then go die."

Nasita's voice was still clear and childlike, like a nightingale singing in a valley, but her eyes turned icy cold in an instant, like a deep pool in the cold night, making people shudder.

As she finished speaking, she gently raised her small hand, and a vibrant green light began to rapidly gather in it. This light contained terrifying energy fluctuations, like a small nuclear bomb about to explode.

"Buzz—"

As the energy continued to gather, the entire governor's mansion began to tremble violently due to this enormous power. Cracks appeared on the walls, and dust fell from the ceiling, as if the mansion might collapse at any moment under this powerful force.

Seeing this, Gu Yuena's heart sank. She knew that the situation was unlikely to end well.

If she were alone, she wouldn't be afraid of the other party at all. But now Nan Fusheng was still in her arms, and if a fight really broke out, unless she used god-level power, she wasn't confident she could protect Nan Fusheng.

Gu Yuena stared intently at Naxida before her, her gaze piercing as if she wanted to see right through her. At the same time, her mind raced, using her rich experience and keen senses to carefully capture every fluctuation of soul power and change in aura emanating from Naxida.

Suddenly, a thought flashed through Gu Yuena's mind, as if she had realized a crucial clue. She said, "You... are Fusheng's spirit?!"

Although the sentence was uttered in the form of a question, Gu Yuena's tone was unusually firm, as if she had already accepted the answer.

"So you knew all along."

Upon hearing this, Nasita's eyes grew even colder, and her killing intent emanated from her without any attempt to conceal it. That intense killing intent was like a tangible wave, crashing down and making the surrounding air seem to drop to freezing point.

However, Gu Yuena remained unusually calm, unmoved by Naxida's murderous intent. She said in a deep voice, "If you want to fight, then I'm happy to oblige. But are you sure you want to fight me now? Fusheng is still with me."

Upon hearing Gu Yuena's words, Naxida's expression suddenly froze, a hint of hesitation flashing in her previously resolute eyes. The energy orb she had gathered in her hand also began to gradually weaken, its light becoming dim and lifeless.

"It worked." Gu Yuena breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that her strategy had temporarily succeeded.

From the moment Naxida appeared, Gu Yuena had a vague feeling that something was wrong. Although the soul power fluctuations emanating from this young girl were astonishingly strong, they also gave Gu Yuena a strange sense of familiarity.

This sense of familiarity didn't stem from her direct contact with Nasita, but rather from a connection she felt to the aura emanating from Nan Fusheng. This reminded her of the powerful spiritual intent emanating from Nan Fusheng's soul ring at the beginning.

Gu Yuena's mind began to race, and she quickly came to a bold and astonishing conclusion: the seemingly weak young girl in front of her was very likely one of the souls inside Nan Fusheng.

"However, since she has become Fusheng's spirit, why can she still unleash such powerful strength, and why does she still possess a physical body?"

Gu Yuena stared intently at Naxida's exquisitely sculpted face, her doubts growing ever stronger.

After a Soul Master fuses with a Soul Spirit, they can indeed summon the Soul Spirit to fight alongside them against enemies. However, this summoning has many limitations.

Take a level 50 Soul King as an example. Suppose he fuses with a 100,000-year-old Soul Spirit. Even if he can successfully summon the Soul Spirit to fight alongside him, due to the limitation of his own Soul Power, he can only maintain it for seven or eight seconds at most.

This is similar to wool coming from a sheep; once a soul spirit merges with a soul master, it becomes inextricably linked to the soul master, and everything about it is closely related to the soul master. Even if it can help the soul master in battle, the soul power consumed will inevitably be borne by the soul master.

With Nan Fusheng's current level 80 soul power, he could only sustain the appearance of a quasi-god level soul spirit and engage in simple combat for a maximum of ten seconds.

However, judging from Nasita's recent performance, she seems to have no such weaknesses at all.

In the previous exchanges, Naxida's soul power was inexhaustible, showing no signs of depletion, as if she possessed an independent energy source, unrestricted by Nan Fusheng's soul power.

Moreover, what Gu Yuena found most unbelievable was that Nasida actually possessed a real physical body!

This is also the key reason why Gu Yuena didn't immediately think of Naxida as a spirit when she first appeared.

As is well known, once a soul spirit merges with a soul master, it will exist in the soul master's body or soul ring in the form of a spiritual body or an energy body.

Although they can form a close connection with Soul Masters and assist them in battle, they can never possess a real physical body.

But Nasita before us is a living example that shatters this notion. Her real physical body and the immense power she displays, unrestricted by soul force, completely overturn the traditional existence of spirits.

Gu Yuena's thoughts became increasingly chaotic. She recalled what Nan Fusheng had told her before: "I don't know why, but I can never summon my own soul."

As a result, a bold and astonishing guess gradually took shape in her mind—could the soul spirits corresponding to the other soul rings on Nan Fusheng's body also have a physical body, just like Naxida in front of her?

This is why Nan Fusheng repeatedly failed in his attempts to summon spirits, gaining nothing in the process.

"You're not human, are you?" Just as Gu Yuena was immersed in her own thoughts, deep in a brainstorming session, Nasita suddenly spoke up.

These sudden words, like a thunderclap, instantly pulled Gu Yuena back to reality from her reverie. Gu Yuena's heart jolted, but on the surface, she remained calm and made no response.

Nasita didn't stop because of Gu Yuena's silence. She continued to talk: "A human Soul Douluo could never unleash quasi-god level power like you without warning. You must be some ferocious beast that has transformed and cultivated again."

At this point, Nasida narrowed her eyes slightly, a scrutinizing glint in them, as if she were trying to see through Gu Yuena's appearance to uncover the secrets hidden deep within her.

"Let me think. Judging from the dragon aura you just emitted, you must be a true dragon in human form. Although I don't know how you managed to successfully transform and rebuild your cultivation from a ferocious beast, and how you were able to cleverly blend into the human world and remain undetected for so long, none of that matters anymore."

Naxida's tone carried an undeniable confidence, as if she had already thoroughly investigated Gu Yuena's identity and background.

"For the sake of being fellow soul beasts, if you hand that man over to me and swear not to reveal what you saw today, I can forgive your previous offense and let bygones be bygones."

Nasita laid out her conditions, her eyes flashing with a complex light, a mixture of urgency and a barely perceptible expectation.

"Does she think I'm some kind of beast that has undergone a transformation and rebirth?" Gu Yuena wondered to herself.
