Douluo Continent: Long Live the Spirit Hall

A white divine light enveloped the humanoid soul tool, and the body of the sacred dragon stood proudly. Noxi restored his true form in the form of a mental illusion, his entire body enveloped in intense light, which was also the last light he could emit in his life.

The scales of the sacred dragon were completely milky white, unlike those of the silver dragon; they possessed a sacred radiance. The single horn on its head stood proudly upright, and every detail of its body was perfectly harmonious, especially its pair of silver, shimmering dragon eyes, which were breathtaking.

Knox stared coldly at Yan and Qian Daoliu, and said in a cold voice, "I must thank you for giving me this opportunity. This divine artifact is designed to be extremely powerful, but it lacks a spirit. By imprinting my own spiritual mark into it, I can become its spirit. This divine artifact is forged from the most precious materials within the Dragon Realm and can draw upon all the power within the Dragon Realm. Before I truly become its spirit, I can use this power, with the divine artifact as its vessel, to unleash my peak power before birth and take you away."

"You think you can defeat me?" Qian Daoliu waved his hand, releasing a circle of holy light that instantly suppressed all the rampaging bone dragons, pinning them to the ground. Then, his eyes gleamed as he stared at Noxi, who was gradually recovering her peak power.

"I previously thought you, like that most profound evil being from ten thousand years ago, had transcended the boundaries between mortals and gods and reached another realm." Nox's phantom appeared exceptionally holy, its dragon eyes gleaming with white light.

"But it seems that your power is still a little lacking, or rather, in the Dragon Realm, you cannot reach that godlike state. Even though I am not as powerful as you are now at my peak, the gap is not so huge that it is insurmountable. The Dragon Realm is my home ground. If I don't even have the courage to fight for the future of the dragon race, how can I become the holy dragon, the leader of the dragon race?"

"Noxie, you're too confident." Just then, Yan's voice suddenly rang out. Noxie felt a sense of foreboding. With a thought, a huge milky-white light spread out instantly, and the dragon-shaped phantom transformed into a stream of light that rushed towards Yan.

Although Yan's strength was insignificant in his eyes, the latter was the designer of this humanoid soul tool. Even though he took control of this artifact while Yan was off guard, there was no guarantee that Yan might have some backup plan, so he wanted to get rid of him first.

"I guessed you would make a move, but did you not have any means of defense or restraint?" Suddenly, surging flames erupted from Yan's body, and a red lotus mark appeared on his chest. Under the scorching of this red lotus fire, Noxie in his dragon shadow form immediately felt his power being rapidly suppressed and lost.

“This is… an existence of that realm… no…” The holy dragon roared in unwilling anger, but everything was already out of his control. Under the scorching of the Crimson Lotus Heavenly Fire, the memories and consciousness within Nox’s spiritual imprint were separated.

This milky-white dragon-shaped phantom was enveloped in Crimson Lotus Heavenly Fire and sent into a crystal ball. He planned to deal with the memories and knowledge inside later.

But now, he has something even more important to do: complete a full set of battle armor and soul-guided mecha.

As the milky white light quietly faded, Noxie's divine dragon form finally disappeared into the crystal ball. Her mournful cry turned into a final lament that hovered over the Dragon Realm. At that moment, all the bone dragons' bodies were momentarily frozen in place.

A milky-white light, mixed with golden specks, quietly flowed by, filled with resentment. It struggled left and right within the dark golden humanoid soul tool, but could not find a way to escape.

Yan arrived before the soul tool and began the final refining process. Countless strands of soul power outlined the formation of the magic array. As he worked, he said, "Don't resist anymore. The part of your consciousness that I extracted will eventually dissipate. Leave your remaining remnants here, slumbering within the Dragon Soul Wood. This is the best place for your unconscious soul. Only by remaining within this top-grade Dragon Soul Wood will your spiritual imprint not completely dissipate. Although you have lost consciousness, you still retain a trace of your once powerful aura. It can be considered that you have left your final trace, and I haven't broken my promise." The milky-white light seemed to understand Yan's words and surged even more violently, but unfortunately, with its current power, it was unable to break free from the soul tool no matter what it did.

Noxi's last consciousness disappeared as the spiritual imprint gradually dissipated and merged into the artifact spirit. The impact of the milky white light also became less and less intense. The disappearance of the spiritual imprint also marked the complete demise of a generation of holy dragons.

All that remained was his unconscious soul, just like the lingering spirits of those bone dragons.

The difference is that his soul formed the spirit of this brand-new soul armor, becoming one of its most crucial components.

"There are two ultimate development directions for humanoid soul tools. Battle armor, a mecha attached to a martial soul, similar to a suit of armor. True soul-guided mecha, on the other hand, is a combat machine similar to Gundam. The combination of the two, the dual-armor style, is the pinnacle of soul-guided combat tools." The dark golden humanoid soul tool finally took shape, resonating with Yan's martial soul aura. This was a divine artifact-level battle armor, capable of providing Yan with crucial life protection, but Yan's ambition did not stop there; he wanted the dual-armor style.

Yan's gaze fell upon the enormous dragon skeleton left behind by the holy dragon Noxi. Such a massive and sturdy dragon bone was the best material for making soul-guided mechs, and it could also be fused with soul-guided battle armor to form the most perfect dual-armor system.

Yan had considered this, and his hands moved quickly. Under his control, the humanoid soul tool landed on Nox's massive dragon skeleton. Then, he brought down the Dragon Soul Blade, and a series of soul guidance arrays were engraved on the dragon skeleton.

After the massive skeleton of the sacred dragon was inscribed with a soul-guiding array and reassembled, a ball of light flashed, seven dragon shadows trembled simultaneously, seven beams of light rose into the sky, and a transparent ball of light rose up, within which a milky white dragon seemed to be swimming.

Seven beams of light soared into the sky, transforming into dragon shadows that danced and pulled the transparent ball of light upwards into an even larger, sacred dragon shadow. Under the backdrop of the seven divine lights, it floated in mid-air like the moon surrounded by stars.

The silver-purple light of the dragon moon shone brightly, and a divine light surged down, enveloping the ball of light. As the creator and master of this divine artifact, Yan's spiritual sea instantly received feedback, and a realization arose in his heart that his idea had been realized.

With the accumulation of countless divine materials and fortuitous opportunities, the divine artifact will eventually undergo a qualitative change and is expected to reach the level of a super divine artifact in the Qin Emperor's universe.

What condensed in the air was a ball of divine light, a dazzling divine light, with various colors constantly changing within it. The aura of sublimation seemed to be pulsating, and the enormous energy was constantly increasing. This was a complete fusion.

This dual-armor set, combining the essence of top-grade Dragon Soul Wood, Sacred Dragon Horn, Sacred Dragon Fang, Seven Dragon Kings' Tendons, and the Sacred Dragon Soul's Roar of the Dead Wood, is completely fused together under the illumination of the Dragon Moon.

The bone dragons within the Dragon Realm also sensed the intense light. They were completely gripped by panic, and under the influence of their subconscious, they knelt down one by one. Their bony bodies trembled continuously as they worshipped the ball of light in the sky.

Super artifacts are extremely precious in the Douluo Continent and even the Douluo Universe. Even the main gods may not be able to obtain divine weapons of this level.

While the ultimate artifacts of the Qin Emperor Universe may not be entirely equivalent to those of the Douluo Universe, they are undoubtedly supreme treasures that transcend the limits of mortals and gods. With them, at least in the Douluo Continent, Yan would have little to worry about his life.

The light in the sky suddenly grew stronger and stronger. Suddenly, the intense light fell like a meteor, and an invisible energy entered Yan's body through every pore.

The energy of the super artifact is too vast, and generally only true gods can use it. However, Yan, as the creator of this super artifact and after being consecrated by blood sacrifice, is its natural master. Naturally, he will not be subject to such restrictions and can even receive energy feedback to cleanse himself and gain great benefits.

...Within the Dragon Realm, the intense fluctuations caused by the birth of the supreme artifact resonated with the heavens and earth. The light shone through the Blackwood Forest and extended beyond the Dragon Realm. The powerful fluctuations swept across the heavens and earth, even affecting the entire continent of Longzinus.

In Farlan, the most central and sacred place on the continent of Longqinus, at the very moment the Dragon Realm changed, seven people simultaneously raised their heads, their aged and profound eyes gazing at the distant sky. At that moment, their hearts were filled with awe.

Because they all felt that in that instant, a place had become the core of the Dragonianus Continent, and a strange elemental fluctuation shook their hearts like a god awakening. It was a power that terrified them.

Chapter 269 First Trial of Soul Guidance Armament

"This mecha is pretty good. With it, I feel like I can do it again." As the ball of light from the Dragon Domain sky slowly fell into his palm, Yan immediately understood the true use of this divine artifact. The overwhelming sense of power instantly filled him with confidence.

"What is this? A small box?" As the sacred dragon Noxi returned to eternal silence and was refined into a spirit, the many resurrected bone dragons also returned to peace.

Qian Daoliu no longer needed to exert any more effort to suppress them, so he naturally looked at the divine artifact in Yan's palm.

The light slowly dissipated, revealing a small object resembling a silver box in Yan's palm, roughly the size of his palm. It was surrounded by silver dragon patterns, and there was a dragon head-shaped pattern on the front.

Yan smiled slightly at Qian Daoliu, then placed the silver box at his waist.

"This thing is naturally only in its most basic form. I have to thank Noxi for his help, which gave it the ability to change size at will. It also has two variations."

"Battle Armor - Armor." As Yan poured his energy into it, the silver box immediately adhered to his waist, forming an energy belt. Then, a flash of light enveloped Yan's entire body, and a suit of armor with a dark gold body and holy milky white light patterns covered Yan's entire body.

Battle Armor is similar to the power lock in "Super Beast Armor" that Yan read in his previous life. The small box that Yan just held in his hand is the most crucial Armor Soul Lock. As long as it is carried with him, it is only a matter of a thought when encountering an attack or wanting to load the weapon.

The armor consists of eleven parts: helmet, chest armor, left shoulder and arm armor, right shoulder and arm armor, left arm armor, right arm armor, waist guard, left thigh armor, right thigh armor, left leg boot, and right leg boot.

When the eleven components covered Yan's entire body, his current appearance was somewhat similar to Long Jian from "Super Beast Armed Forces," except that the external weapon was not mainly blue, but rather dark gold and silver.

"Roar~~~" With a slight raise of his hand, Yan unleashed a chilling blade of light. The gleaming silver Dragon Soul Blade, the Blade of Nox, appeared in Yan's palm. Amidst a resounding dragon roar, a pair of dragon wings appeared on the back of Yan's battle armor, and his entire aura became incredibly mysterious.

"Whoosh!" A figure shimmering with a hint of purple light appeared silently beside Yan, gracefully reaching out to touch the pair of dragon wings.

"What a strange idea. Wearing this divine artifact, you might be able to threaten a Title Douluo." Bibi Dong's beautiful eyes flashed with an unusual look. Although she had not witnessed the combat capabilities of this set of battle armor, the sheer intensity of its energy fluctuations was enough to make even a powerful person like her secretly tremble.

After thinking for a moment, Yan said, "Under certain special circumstances, this should be able to deal with a Title Douluo. After all, most Title Douluos don't actually have very high defenses. Please step aside for a moment, and I'll try out the second stage of this weapon." Bibi Dong nodded and stepped aside. Yan moved and arrived at the location where the original skeleton of the Holy Dragon Noxie was. With a burst of brilliant light, a Holy Dragon full of steel technology appeared on the spot.

A massive bone dragon reappeared in the same spot, its bones glowing with a lustrous sheen, appearing as translucent as milky white crystal, with faint silver specks within.

At this moment, the soul fire within Noxi's skeleton had been extinguished, but the skeleton was filled with other things. It was not filled with flesh or steel, but with crystal-like substances rich in various types of energy. These crystals filled the various parts of his skeleton, eventually forming a steel dragon full of science fiction.

"Roar~~~" The steel dragon stretched its wings, which were filled with energy membranes, and flew into the sky, roaring to the heavens under the full purple moon.

With this dragon roar, the previously calm bone dragons were once again plunged into panic. Under the influence of their subconscious, they knelt down and showed a posture of submission to all dragons.

"This is a true divine artifact. I feel that with it in hand, even an ordinary Soul Master could fight against or even kill a Title Douluo." Bibi Dong looked up at the sky, her feelings complicated. Witnessing the birth of such a divine artifact was a rare experience. She thought of many things. If she had had such a Soul Guidance Weapon back then, perhaps that incident would not have happened.

After observing for a while, Qian Daoliu made his evaluation.

"The materials used in this weapon are all top-grade, which is why it has such power. Its actual combat capabilities are still unknown, but in terms of defense, nothing can break through its defenses unless it involves power at the level of a god."

"The High Priest is right." After trying it out for a while, Yan, inside the steel dragon, slowly descended, and Yan's voice rang out from within.

"The greatest use of this artifact for me is not in combat, but in its powerful defense and mobility. With it, unless I face a true god-level powerhouse, no one can threaten my safety." After truly experiencing this steel aircraft soul-guided mecha, Yan's confidence soared. The fully-formed second-stage armed version truly lived up to its reputation as a powerful weapon of the Qin Emperor's universe super artifact level. Not only could it absorb the energy of heaven and earth to unleash an extremely powerful attack, but it also gave him incomparably strong defense.

Yan had truly experienced the power of the gods and had had many interactions with powerful figures like Qian Daoliu and Bibi Dong who were favored by the gods. He was very clear about the difference between the limits of mortals and gods and had a more intuitive understanding of the defense of his divine artifact.

The super artifacts in the Qin Emperor Universe may not be as powerful as those in the Douluo Universe, but they still have the potential to reach that level.

Its materials have the potential. As long as Yan, the master, becomes stronger, it may well be able to transform into a true super artifact after Yan advances to godhood, just like the Trident of Poseidon.

Even though it has only just been created, this weapon is already at the level of a true divine artifact in the Douluo Universe, and it is among the top divine artifacts.

Below the level one main god, even ordinary gods would find it difficult to penetrate its defenses and harm the flames within. And to completely destroy this weapon, one needs the strength of a level one main god.

After acquiring this divine artifact and experiencing its power, Yan's confidence naturally swelled. With a divine artifact at his disposal, he was no longer afraid of even a Title Douluo. With his safety issue resolved, many plans could then be launched.

"Great Elder! Master! This is the structural blueprint for the Soul Guidance Armor I designed, divided into two main parts: Battle Armor and Mech." The Steel Dragon suddenly spat out a huge crystalline stone tablet, upon which shimmering light patterns combined to form various designs.

"The battle armor is worn outside the martial soul and can be crafted primarily from dragon soul wood to nourish the divine soul, strengthen martial soul abilities, and increase cultivation speed. The mecha part is my current form, which can be crafted primarily from the bones of soul beasts or dragons, ideally compatible with one's own martial soul. In this form, the soul-guided weapon is exceptionally powerful, enabling ordinary soul masters to defeat stronger opponents. Although you two have already reached the pinnacle of human strength, there is still the possibility of further progress. After all, soul-guided weapons are a completely new field. You can use the materials here to craft weapons that suit you, and perhaps you will gain new insights." Qian Daoliu and Bibi Dong nodded thoughtfully after hearing Yan's words. They hadn't thought about it before, but what Yan said made sense. With blueprints as a reference, it would be relatively easy for them to create their own soul-guided weapons.

Forging such weapons within the Dragon Domain would likely subject them to the laws of the Qin Emperor's universe, which might be beneficial, especially for Qian Daoliu, who has already reached the pinnacle of human soul masters. If he could find an opportunity through this, he might be able to break free from his shackles.

As Bibi Dong and Qian Daoliu thought this, their gazes unconsciously fell on the crystal stone tablet that Yan had put down. The shimmering light patterns intertwined to form various shapes of battle armor and mecha. The shapes were actually secondary; the key was the soul guidance array.

After all, everyone's situation is different, and their martial souls are also basically different. It is impossible to design weapons with exactly the same form. However, the key soul guidance arrays must be similar, because only by combining according to those soul guidance arrays can a complete weapon be formed.

Bibi Dong and Qian Daoliu each went to the Dragon Soul Wood Forest within the Dragon Domain, sensing the aura of each Dragon Soul Wood tree, trying to find a Dragon Soul Wood tree that was suitable for them and of sufficient age.

The Dragon Soul Wood here is nourished by countless dragons. Basically, each Dragon Soul Wood represents a dead dragon. If the aura of the Dragon Soul Wood is compatible with them, then they can also find the bones of dragons that are compatible with them to forge the entire weapon.

Their pursuits are different from Yan's. Yan's purpose in creating weapons is to improve his combat power and survivability as quickly as possible. He uses the best materials, and power is the key. He doesn't care about compatibility at all.

Bibi Dong and Qian Daoliu were already among the strongest in the world. For them, arming was just a new experiment. Compared to the power of the soul-guided weapons, they cared more about the process of sorting out and comprehending their martial souls during the creation process, so they cared more about the compatibility.

Beneath the silver-purple full moon in the Dragon Domain sky, the various colored crystals on the steel dragon were full of energy. After circling the entire Dragon Domain once, the enormous steel dragon, under Yan's control, rushed towards the outer Dragon Soul Wood Forest, preparing to head out of the Dragon Domain.

At this very moment, because he displayed an ability during the battle that could drive the Western dragon race mad, a handsome young man who played the piano was forced to be sent to the Dragon Realm to participate in the trials of foreign dragons, and thus the first contact between the two began.

Chapter 270 Heading North to Extract Benefits

Above the Dragon Domain Snow Mountain, in the clouds, a massive elemental silver dragon carried a young man born with eight fingers slowly approaching the snow mountain.

However, just as they were about to continue, the silver dragon suddenly stopped.

"Xing Can, why did you stop?" The young man on the back of the silver dragon asked with some confusion. His name was Ye Yinzhu. In a previous battle, he used his music magic to provoke hundreds of dragon riders to fight to the death, ultimately forcing the orcs to retreat.

His ability aroused the dragons' fear, and after discussions among the high-ranking members of the Silver Dragon Clan in Silver Dragon City, they decided to send him to the Dragon Domain Trial to obtain the status of a foreign dragon.

The silver dragon he rode was named Xing Can, a friend he made after entering Silver Dragon City. Xing Can had warned him of the dangers of the Dragon Realm, but due to the rules of the Silver Dragon Clan, he could not let his friend go.

However, at this moment, the powerful elemental silver dragon stopped outside the dragon domain, its scales trembling, clearly indicating that something was wrong.

"Yinzhu." The Silver Dragon Star Remnant in the clouds suddenly called out to him. Before he could speak again, a loud dragon roar caused the distant snow mountain to collapse, and a huge dragon shadow appeared in the sight of the man and the dragon.

The remnant of the silver dragon star in the sky was suddenly filled with immense fear, and its body instinctively began to fall downwards.

This was the absolute suppression he received when facing a superior dragon, but he was an elemental silver dragon, one of the seven strongest dragon races on the continent of Longzinus. How could there be an existence more superior than him?

Moreover, the pressure exerted by this dragon shadow was even more terrifying than that of Howard, the Great Elder of their Silver Dragon Clan, a powerful being who was only one step away from transforming into a sacred dragon.

"Xing Can, be careful." Ye Yinzhu, who was on Xing Can's back, felt an almost suffocating pressure because he was not a dragon. A dragon scale in his arms was also slightly hot. When the silver dragon almost crashed into a strange pine tree protruding from the cliff during its descent, he quickly reminded him and unleashed his fighting spirit to deal with it.

"Huh! A silver dragon and a human, are you here to participate in the foreign dragon race trial?" Just as the silver dragon Xing Can and Ye Yinzhu finally managed to steady themselves, a howling pressure swept over them, a huge shadow enveloped them, followed by a puzzled 'old' voice.

"What is this? A bone dragon?" Ye Yinzhu looked up at the terrifying creature. It was a strange dragon with a pale skeleton exposed. Various colored energy crystals filled the gaps between the bones, forming a strange and powerful dragon with an incomparably oppressive aura.

"I am the Holy Dragon Nox, and you are a junior of the Silver Dragon Clan. Did you send him here to participate in the trials of foreign dragons?" This enormous and strange dragon was naturally Yan, who had left the Dragon Realm on his Iron Dragon to explore the continent of Dragonsinus. Upon seeing this somewhat familiar young man, he naturally understood that he had encountered a certain plot.

So, on a whim, he decided to disguise himself as the holy dragon Nox, hoping to get something from the two of them.

"No, Lord Noxxi, you are the legendary holy dragon Noxxi, our ancestor..." Silver Dragon Star Remnant believed Yan's feigned old age immediately upon hearing it, because the holy dragon aura emanating from this skull dragon was undeniable, and it also had some knowledge of the Dragon Realm.

After a moment of panic, Xing Can regained some composure and quickly lowered his dragon head to perform the dragon's salute. Then he carefully said, "Lord Noxie, I am Xing Can, a descendant of the Silver Dragon Clan. I have brought this human to participate in the foreign dragon clan trial."

"The foreign dragon trial? You're too late. It's too late now." The steel dragon shook its head. Ye Yinzhu, standing to the side, showed a hint of anxiety. He had been forced to participate in the foreign dragon trial. If he passed, all would be well, but if he failed, his life would be in danger.

"You can see my current state now. Yes, I am completely dead. However, before I died, I used materials from the Dragon Realm to forge myself into a divine artifact, and my soul became its spirit. You could say I've been reborn." An aged voice echoed from within the steel dragon, offering a brief explanation to the man and dragon.

"However, this also means I've lost some of the abilities I had as a sacred dragon, and I can no longer grant him the status of a foreign dragon. But that's alright, because with my death, a new sacred dragon will soon be born within the seven dragon cities. Then I can have him bestow the trial upon this kid. You're from the Silver Dragon Clan, and if I remember correctly, the Silver Dragon Clan's Grand Elder should be Howard. That little dragon cub has good potential; he has a chance to become a new sacred dragon. You can take him back to the Silver Dragon Clan." The Steel Dragon said, waving its hand. The purple dragon scales that Ye Yinzhu had been using as a trial object flew out and landed on its raised bone-like dragon claw.

"These are my dragon scales, but I won't need them anymore. Kid, do you want to pass the foreign dragon trial?"
