Douluo Continent: Long Live the Spirit Hall

Suddenly, the buzzing sound arose and quickly amplified, becoming sharper, as if the enormous dragon god's soul had come to life. Immediately afterwards, a stirring dragon roar resounded throughout the entire Dragon Valley.

Almost instantly, all the dragon souls wandering in Dragon Valley prostrated themselves on the ground, and all the dragon skeletons in the Dragon Tomb seemed to be awakened, trembling slightly, trying to struggle to stand up.

A burst of colorful light flashed past, and Yan felt a blur before his eyes. His consciousness was momentarily blurred, and when he regained consciousness, it was as if he had entered a seven-colored world, and everything in front of him had changed.

His vision shifted, and before him lay an ancient battlefield, where countless divine lights streaked wildly, and powerful figures launched attacks against him. He then saw a familiar figure, a blood-red demon god—the Asura God.

The Asura God pointed to the sky, and a massive, blood-red sword, seemingly reaching to the heavens and connecting to the earth, slashed towards him. Just as he was about to move, several powerful beams of divine light bound his movements, and everything turned blood-red in the next instant.

His body seemed to be torn apart instantly, followed by countless images shattering. His consciousness returned to reality. He looked around and saw that Qiu'er and Jialin seemed to still be in some state and had not yet woken up. Then he saw a silver figure that had arrived in front of the Dragon Soul. It was the Silver Dragon King.

The Silver Dragon King extended her right hand, which rapidly enlarged, and struck the Dragon God's soul. The Dragon God's soul trembled violently, releasing even more seven-colored soul light. The Dragon God's soul also shuddered, and her entire body was enveloped in a seven-colored halo.

However, unlike Yan before, and Qiu'er and Jialin now, the Silver Dragon King remained conscious, his cold expression replaced by a peculiar emotion. Then, the dragon god's soul suddenly transformed into an incomparably powerful seven-colored halo, surging towards them.

The Silver Dragon King turned around and glanced at Yan with a strange expression. Then, countless streams of seven-colored energy rushed into her body, and her aura immediately began to surge exponentially.

A large amount of seven-colored energy instantly engulfed the Silver Dragon King, but the power unleashed by the remnant soul of the Dragon God was truly astonishing. The Silver Dragon King, as a mere clone, could not absorb it all, so many more seven-colored torrents instantly engulfed Yan, Qiu'er, and Jialin.

Qiu'er and Jialin underwent tremendous changes in an instant. Yan, who had a contract with them, could sense that their cultivation was rapidly increasing, especially Qiu'er, who was quickly advancing towards the level of a 100,000-year-old soul beast.

The seven-colored torrent also engulfed Yan, and the soul of the Golden Earth Fire Dragon King enveloped him and was also undergoing transformation. He could feel his own origins changing, and several soul rings and soul spirits were evolving.

Yan gained countless benefits while in the seven-colored torrent, but he could only passively accept them, and his body was unable to move for a long time. However, perhaps because his dragon blood was thin and his strength was slightly stronger, he was able to maintain his conscious state and witness the transformation of the other three.

The three-eyed golden lion Qiu'er's body rapidly transformed from a tender young beast into a massive imperial auspicious beast, losing some of its cuteness and gaining more majesty. A golden dragon soul phantom vaguely appeared behind it, and it would occasionally leap into a blurry golden-haired girl.

The dragon body of Fire Dragon King Jialin has also undergone earth-shattering changes. It has become larger and its figure has become more mature. Moreover, a blurry red light flickers above her head from time to time, as if it is about to transform into a red-haired figure.

In addition, several other beings were also awakening within Yan's body: Little Phoenix Huo'er, the Great Yan Sacred Fire Dragon sisters, and the Golden Armored Forbidden Insect sisters. These little creatures also gained great benefits through Yan.

The ones who benefited the most were the Great Yan Sacred Fire Dragons, which belonged to the same dragon family. Although they were not from the same world, they were of similar races and received many benefits. They surrounded Yan and underwent a transformation together with the soul of the Golden Earth Fire Dragon King.

"Ooh~~~"

Suddenly, Yan heard a clear dragon's roar. He subconsciously looked in the direction of the sound and saw the silver-haired girl in front of him lightly biting her lower lip, making a circle with her hands, and letting out a loud dragon's roar.

Her body began to glow and rapidly grew larger, transforming in an instant into a silver dragon thousands of meters tall. Her wings suddenly spread out, blocking most of the seven-colored airflow and drawing most of the seven-colored energy into her body.

As the seven-colored energy flowed in, her silver scales were enveloped in a seven-colored radiance, and her aura grew stronger and stronger, causing the entire Dragon Valley to tremble.

"Silver Dragon King..."

The Silver Dragon King blocked a large swath of seven-colored energy. Yan, who was undergoing a transformation, breathed a slight sigh of relief. The energy that had surged in all at once was simply too much. Even though he later summoned his mecha armor to undergo the refining process, he still couldn't process it all.

The main reason is that his martial soul bloodline has a shallow relationship with the dragon race. Although he has made contracts with multiple dragon species, he has not allowed his martial soul to develop in the direction of dragonification. Therefore, his conversion rate of dragon energy is not high. If the Silver Dragon King hadn't intervened just now, he might have been forced to suffer internal injuries.

As a large amount of seven-colored energy flowed into the Silver Dragon King's body, the remnant soul of the Dragon God gradually became illusory. At the core of that dragon soul, within a circle of seven-colored light, two rhombus-shaped crystals also appeared at the core position of the Dragon God's soul.

They floated in mid-air, one golden and the other silver. Each was surrounded by a ring of multicolored light.

This is the Heart of the Dragon God. When the ancient dragon race perished, it awakened the remnant soul of the Dragon God. The Dragon God used his last primal power to transfer all the dragon corpses to the dragon cemetery. The core of this dragon soul is the Heart of the Dragon God, which is also the fundamental power that constructs this Dragon Valley Secret Realm.

As the Dragon God's Heart appeared, dragon clouds surged rapidly from all directions, and dragon souls, like moths to a flame, jumped down from all around the Dragon Valley.

They all transformed into part of the seven-colored energy, flowing into the enormous silver body. The scales on the thousand-meter-tall silver dragon, which originally had countless cracks, began to gradually heal and glow under the infusion of this seven-colored light.

A layer of seven-colored glaze appeared on the surface of the Silver Dragon King's avatar. As the last wisp of that seven-colored halo flowed into the silver dragon's body, she roared to the sky. The rolling dragon roar caused the entire small world to tremble violently. The terrifying pressure caused the surrounding mountain walls of the entire Dragon Valley to collapse.

Chapter 574 Burial for Peace

The Silver Dragon King's enormous figure began to shrink once again. She transformed back into the silver-haired girl she had been before. With a flash, she flew to the two crystals in front of her. She raised her hand, intending to destroy the seven-colored halo, and grabbed at the silver crystal.

"Stop."

Yan hurriedly called out and reached out. The overwhelming dragon's might that had been present before was gone. After regaining his mobility, he immediately teleported to the Silver Dragon King's side, grabbed her wrist, and stopped her from taking the Dragon God's Heart.

"what are you doing?"

The Silver Dragon King's beautiful eyes narrowed, and a powerful force instantly pressed down on Yan. Yan immediately felt as if a huge stone was pressing on his heart. He never expected that this clone of the Silver Dragon King would have such terrifying strength after this stroke of luck.

Yan tightened his grip on the Silver Dragon King's wrist with his right hand and said in a deep voice, "If you take the Heart of the Dragon God, you will destroy this secret realm."

The Silver Dragon King's voice was very cold: "I know, but so what? This is something left behind by the Dragon God. Only the Golden Dragon King and I can use it in this world. Only by retrieving it can I have the capital to fight against the God Realm again and make my race prosperous once more."

"Then, we will turn Douluo Continent upside down, bury the Soul Beast race in the abyss, and even destroy the entire plane."

Yan retorted angrily without any politeness: "Silver Dragon King, don't forget that the peak Dragon Gods were destroyed by the God Realm back then. What makes you think you can directly start a war with them?"

If the Dragon Valley Secret Realm is destroyed, there's no guarantee the God Realm won't discover the problem. What will we do then? Besides, as the lord of the Dragon Clan, do you only care about yourself? Aren't the countless dragon souls here your subjects?

Because of the Dragon God's Heart, this secret realm has endured, giving descendants like Jialin a glimmer of hope. You took the Dragon God's Heart, and everything is destroyed. Have you considered this? Right now, all you think about is revenge, right? Tell me!!!

As Yan finished speaking, he grabbed the Silver Dragon King's wrist and pulled her close, roaring loudly in her ear. The Silver Dragon King froze, her eyes flashing countless times in an instant.

“I brought you here so you could absorb the energy of the Dragon God’s Heart, which would help you recover faster. But I can’t let you destroy this secret realm. As long as the Dragon God’s Heart remains, the energy can be accumulated again, and the Dragon Tomb Secret Realm can continue to exist.”

Yan's voice softened slightly, then he said earnestly, "Silver Dragon King, you should have noticed the sorrow of countless dragons since you came in. Their resentment and anger need to be quelled. We should do something."

As he spoke, he pulled the Silver Dragon King and turned to walk away. The Silver Dragon King was still somewhat dazed and stumbled as he was pulled, but he did not choose to break free. Instead, he silently let him lead him away.

As they turned and left, the Dragon God's Heart began to operate again, attracting more energy. The remnant soul of the Dragon God reappeared, but this time it was much smaller and extremely illusory, looking somewhat dull and devoid of any spirit.

Several figures flew out of the giant pit where the Dragon God's Heart was located and landed on the ground. They returned to Dragon Valley, where the endless expanse of dragon bones still greeted their eyes. The powerful aura of the dragon race still emanated from them, along with that infectious sorrow.

"What did you mean by what you just said? What should we do?"

The Silver Dragon King looked at the endless dragon skeletons around her, feeling a sense of oppression that she didn't know how to release. She felt that she should do something, but she couldn't figure it out. Subconsciously, she felt that taking the Dragon God's Heart to take revenge was what she should do.

However, after Yan's words, she vaguely felt that things were not like that, so she turned her gaze to Yan.

"They have been dead for countless years and their bodies are still exposed on the ground, unable to rest for a long time. We help them to be laid to rest."

Looking at the countless dragon skeletons, Yan naturally knew what he should do. He released the Silver Dragon King's jade hand and walked to a dragon skeleton to start digging a pit.

Although one cannot use soul power to project it outwards in the Dragon Valley Secret Realm, one can still use soul bones and martial souls. Yan's hands flashed with golden light, and his pair of incomparably sharp golden claws were even more useful than an iron shovel. With a few quick scoops, he used skillful force to expel the soil, and a large pit tens of meters deep appeared on the spot.

Yan then went to the nearest dragon skeleton and carefully began the burial of the dragon skeleton.

This process must be carried out with care; if it's simply pushed in, it could easily damage the dragon's remains. Such a burial wouldn't allow the dragon's spirit to rest in peace; in fact, it might even anger it enough to rise from the dead and haunt it.

He was extremely careful, piecing the dragon bones together piece by piece, and it took him a long time to bury the first real dragon skeleton in the pit.

The moment the skeleton was laid to rest, one could clearly feel that the sorrowful aura emanating from it faded considerably, and even the energy fluctuations on the dragon bones weakened significantly.

"This matter..."

The Silver Dragon King had been watching Yan's movements the whole time. When she felt the sorrow lingering around the dragon soul fade considerably, she was deeply shocked and silently took a step forward.

"What are you all standing there for? Come and help! How long am I supposed to keep this up by myself?"

After Yan finished demonstrating with the first dragon skeleton, he called out to the Silver Dragon King, Qiu'er, and Jialin. Qiu'er and Jialin quickly transformed into their true forms and came over to dig a hole, while the Silver Dragon King walked to Yan's side in a daze.

"This one is yours. Follow the steps I just outlined, and you should be fine!"

As soon as the Silver Dragon King approached, Yan handed her a piece of dragon bone, pointed to the somewhat damaged dragon remains beside him, and explained his task to her.

"Ah."

The Silver Dragon King nodded silently, and Yan summoned his companions, including the Great Evolution Sacred Fire Dragon, the Golden Armored Forbidden Insect, and Little Phoenix Fire, to help. Together, they began the task of burying the dragon's remains.

The dragon tomb they were in was located at the core of the secret realm, and the rich dragon energy fluctuations would naturally draw the elemental power of the small world towards it.

During the burial of the dragon's remains, they witnessed firsthand how the dragon's soul revived. Amidst the violent surge of the primordial energy of heaven and earth, a dragon's soul slowly appeared beside a certain dragon's remains.

However, what was strange was that the newly born dragon soul did not wander around or leave the dragon tomb, but flew directly towards them, and then streams of light merged into their bodies, giving them considerable benefits.

"Do they...do they want to be laid to rest..."

The Silver Dragon King was initially somewhat skeptical, but when she saw the dragon souls come to her of their own accord, she finally understood that she should do this. These dragon souls recognized their efforts to help the deceased find peace, which was why they brought energy to help them continue their work.

Nourished by the rich spiritual energy of heaven and earth and the aura of the true dragon, which was far more nutritious than any food, they were full of energy and did not feel tired. They continued to dig holes and bury the dead.

As dragon skeletons were buried one by one, a series of slight energy fluctuations seemed to occur throughout the Dragon Tomb Valley. The original somber atmosphere suddenly gained a touch of joy, and even the pale color of the soul bones seemed to become lustrous.

One by one, dragon skeletons were buried underground. In the process, Yan gained a profound understanding of the skeletons of different types of true dragons. Later, he didn't even need to compare them anymore. As long as he could identify what kind of dragon it was, he could accurately place its skeleton into the dug-out burial pit and arrange it exactly as it was.

As time went by, Yan could feel a special dragon aura emanating from him growing stronger day by day. The desolate atmosphere within the dragon graveyard also diminished with the decreasing number of dragon bones, making their work increasingly easier and more skillful.

During this process, he saw that he had handled countless true dragon soul bones. Each true dragon's skeleton had a unique dragon bone that was very easy to identify.

Although he really wanted to keep these dragon bones, he did not secretly collect them, but buried them all.

It wasn't that he had changed his nature, but rather that he clearly knew that if he wanted to take the true dragon soul bone from Dragon Valley, it would be best to have them give it to him willingly. This way, the fusion would be easier, and he would also receive the blessing of the dragon race, gaining great benefits.

……

"Now, it's just him, the Mountain Dragon King."

After an unknown amount of time, Yan stopped in the center of Dragon Valley. At this moment, the entire dragon cemetery was empty. In front of him was only the last skeleton, which was also the largest of all the true dragon skeletons, belonging to the Mountain Dragon King.

The Mountain Dragon King's skeleton was not only enormous in size, but each bone was also the heaviest. Its immense density imbued the skeleton with an indescribable texture—heavy, solid, each piece resembling a part of a mountain range or river.

Next to the skeleton of the Mountain Dragon King, a deep pit with a diameter of over a thousand meters has been dug. It took everyone working together for quite a while to excavate this pit, with the Silver Dragon King, who transformed into a thousand-meter-long dragon, undertaking most of the work.

Yan personally carried the pieces of the Mountain Dragon King's skeleton inside and placed them properly. He also put the dragon's body, which had been split in two, back together. You couldn't even see the crack unless you looked closely.

After assembling the thousand-meter-long dragon skeleton, which resembled a small mountain, he began pushing the surrounding soil into the giant pit. This was the last dragon skeleton; once the burial of the Mountain Dragon King's remains was complete, their mission would be finished.

Yan's movements were not slow. When the last handful of yellow sand covered the pale bone beneath his feet, the massive thousand-meter-long skeleton of the Mountain Dragon King was finally completely buried.

Everyone, including the Silver Dragon King, couldn't help but smile from the bottom of their hearts as they witnessed this scene, a sense of pride welling up within them. They had fulfilled their promise to these true dragons, allowing them to rest in peace and quelling the somber atmosphere that had enveloped the entire Dragon Valley.

Chapter 575 The Torso Bones of the Million-Year-Old Mountain Dragon King

The somber atmosphere in the Dragon Cemetery has vanished. The once-strewn valleys of white bones are gone, replaced by mounds of varying sizes.

These massive, hill-like tombs are surrounded by lush greenery. Some plants commonly found in the Dragon Valley have been transplanted here, adding a touch of vitality and a layer of green life to the otherwise monotonous valley.

The Silver Dragon King looked at the buried Mountain Dragon King with a complex expression. Then, looking at Yan who had walked up to her, she said softly, "Thank you."

Looking at the Silver Dragon King, who seemed a bit more human now, Yan couldn't help but jokingly say, "No need to be so polite. If you really want to thank me, how about giving me some reward?"

However, he soon felt a weight on his body. Although the Silver Dragon King was ancient, he seemed to have little experience in this area. The force of the embrace was too great. Only Yan's body had been tempered by dragon energy. An ordinary person would have fallen down long ago after being hit like that.

"Well……"

Yan skillfully took those jade-like hands and hung them around his neck, then hooked her smooth, jade-like chin. While the beauty was still in a daze, he quickly took advantage of her. The Silver Dragon King had never experienced anything like this before, and for a moment he forgot to struggle.

"Ok?"

Yan was enjoying himself when he sensed the Silver Dragon King's slight movements. Knowing he couldn't go too far, he opened his eyes, intending to gloss over the matter, when he suddenly saw a yellow light emanating from the thousand-meter-wide mountain dragon king's tomb behind the Silver Dragon King.

Everyone who had just been startled by Yan's bold actions looked up and saw a ball of yellow light gathering next to the Mountain Dragon King's tomb. The dragon energy mixed with the yellow light, and another dragon soul appeared. The dragon soul moved and came to Yan's side.
