Douluo Dragon King: Doumu's Blessing, I Am the Star Lord

Gu Yue got straight to the point: "So, are you ready?"

Half a month ago, Qian Gu Xing resigned from the Tian Dou City Blacksmith Association. While exchanging ideas with Aru Heng about the Flawless Golden Body and the Third Awakening, he also brought back the Dragon Slayer Blade, Sima Jinchi.

The two who became best friends were always on the same wavelength. Although there were some changes in this time and space, it did not affect their instant connection.

"I have mastered the innate secret techniques, and half a month of meditation has brought my condition to its peak. I can try to break through to the Golden Body Realm and complete the third awakening."

This time, Qian Gu Xing Ci did not reveal his plans to his master Mu Ye. He was going to make contact with Di Tian. Mu Ye followed him out of curiosity and then saw a black dragon claw the size of a sandbag. The scene was so beautiful that it was unimaginable.

They went out under the guise of visiting the Gu Yue family, and in fact, they weren't lying; at most, they only captured a small portion of the story.

After walking a few steps, she ran into an acquaintance. Leng Yaozhu, her long dress trailing on the ground, approached and asked, "Are you about to set off?"

Qian Gu Xing Ci said, "Yes, the Valley of Ten Thousand Beasts has a suitable place for us to cultivate."

After a moment's thought, considering that Qian Gu Xing Ci's strength meant he would hardly encounter any danger on the continent, Leng Yao Zhu carefully chose her words: "Yes, go and come back soon, and cultivate diligently."

At this point, Qian Gu Xing Ci keenly noticed a strange look in Leng Yao Zhu's phoenix eyes. Without thinking too much, he took his leave.

Gu Yue took out a silver dragon scale. The two core elements of long-distance teleportation are location and strength. After obtaining the Dragon God Core, Gu Yue held the position of the strongest person on Douluo Star. Di Tian also had scales left behind. The dark passage opened with Gu Yue's casual manipulation.

Chapter 230 Golden Dragon King, We Will Miss You Deeply

Donghai City, port.

This is a common base for the Star Dou Soul Beast Team when they go out. The depths of the sea provide natural cover. When Gu Yue and Na'er absorbed the Golden Dragon King's divine core later on, the commotion was quite significant. A suitable location can reduce a lot of trouble.

On this day, a tall man at the port couldn't hide his excitement, a strand of his long black hair, interspersed with blond hair, fluttering in the wind. Beside him were a woman in a purple cheongsam and a muscular, red-haired strongman.

Strangely, they stood there unnoticed, with occasional passersby walking over them.

Gazing at the suddenly appearing spatial passage, Di Tian led the two beasts to kneel on one knee: "My lord."

Gu Yue, who was leading the group, nodded slightly, and the group headed straight toward the sea area that Di Tian had scouted.

The pure-blooded true dragon Hell Demon Dragon King Zi Ji and the three-headed Crimson Demon Hound Crimson King, who possessed the bloodline of a true dragon, silently accompanied them. The scraps of the Golden Dragon King's divine core that had been scattered were invaluable treasures for the dragon race, which could be considered a small opportunity left for them by Emperor Tian.

The sea region chosen by Di Tian is called the Demon Shark Sea, which, as the name suggests, is ruled by the Demon Soul Great White Shark. This race has served two generations of sea gods and possesses top-tier racial talent, making them one of the most powerful races in the ocean.

The Demon Shark Sea was not initially within Di Tian's expectations. The Demon Great White Shark's king had benefited from the Sea God's influence and had nearly 500,000 years of cultivation. Even Di Tian was unwilling to easily provoke such a powerful enemy.

However, according to the information he obtained after drifting in the ocean for a period of time, the Demon Soul Great White Shark clan seemed to have offended a top-level expert, and their population had decreased sharply in a short period of time. Since the information flow between soul beasts was relatively slow, the Demon Soul Great White Shark still had its former prestige, and the surrounding soul beasts dared not cross the line.

This quiet location, requiring no effort, became Di Tian's final choice.

The vastness of the sea far surpasses that of the land. The first sea god, who conquered the sea, gained more faith and rose to godhood, surpassing even the angel gods.

The azure scenery remained unchanged, visually as if the space was swallowed up by the sea. After stopping, Di Tian indicated that they had arrived at their destination.

After looking around, Gu Yue raised her hand, and three beams of divine light rose from her palm.

The surface of the Golden Dragon King's core was covered with molten gold-like patterns, and the crimson dragon pillar was engraved with ancient dragon patterns. The sound of dragon roars could be faintly heard from the pillar, while the dragon god core that floated in the very center emitted a chaotic yet sacred light.

The three divine king-level treasures slowly floated in the sea, and the seawater automatically parted wherever they passed, forming a vacuum domain.

The Rising Dragon Pillar fell first, then rapidly grew into a colossal pillar supporting the sky. Upon contact with the seabed, the entire Demon Shark Sea trembled, and the sea spirit beasts scattered in terror. The dragon patterns on the pillar lit up one by one, the light spreading along the seawater and dyeing the surrounding hundred miles crimson.

The pale silver light curtain created by the Dragon God's core quietly unfolded, enveloping the entire area.

After doing all this, Gu Yue gently touched the Golden Dragon King's divine core.

"boom--"

The sixteenth seal shattered instantly.

The power of the Golden Dragon King's bloodline poured forth, his bloodline imprinted with a violent, arrogant, and destructive will. The golden bloodline power transformed into thousands of tiny dragons, weaving and dancing through this enclosed space, emitting deafening roars.

Even the three beasts of Emperor Heaven, who were well prepared, couldn't help but tremble, their bloodlines surging with instinctive submission and excitement.

Gu Yue and Na'er stood facing each other, their long hair moving without wind. Their bodies gradually became transparent, and the two figures began to slowly merge. The Golden Dragon King's divine core floated between them, and the power of the Golden Dragon King's bloodline transformed into two streams that flowed into their bodies.

The existence of the Dragon God's core caused the Golden Dragon King, who had been drained and slumbering on the eighteenth floor, to open his eyes. "The aura of the Dragon God?"

The Golden and Silver Dragon Kings were born from the Dragon God, whose heart was their strictest father, and the Golden Dragon King's will was severely suppressed.

Born in the realm of gods, the Golden Dragon King, who had fought in two consecutive battles and killed countless human deities, believed his achievements far surpassed those of the incompetent Silver Dragon King. However, things didn't go as planned, and the actions of the Dragon God's core chilled the old minister's heart to the bone.

"Why did that old dragon god choose the silver dragon king? I also want to be the dragon god! I really want to be the second-generation dragon god! I dream about it all the time!"

Something's not right. There seems to be more than one Silver Dragon King outside.

Compared to the Silver Dragon King, the unknown dragon seemed to need no digestion when absorbing his power...

The aura of the Silver Dragon King and the power of the Golden Dragon King perfectly merged within Gu Yue, a silver dragon scale mark appearing between her brows. Na'er, on the other hand, had a purple-gold dragon scale mark. The two marks reflected each other, radiating a harmonious light of yin and yang. Their bodies frantically absorbed the Golden Dragon King's bloodline power.

The seawater stood still around them, and time seemed to lose its meaning. Countless golden and silver specks of light danced around the two of them, converging to form the phantom of a giant dragon, head to tail, which slowly revolved around them.

Di Tian leaped into the air, revealing the colossal form of the Golden-Eyed Black Dragon King. Its thousands-of-meters-long body coiled around the Ascending Dragon Pillar, its head turned towards the direction where Gu Yue and Na'er had merged, its massive maw opening to greedily devour the remaining essence of the Golden Dragon King's bloodline.

Having obtained the Dragon God's core, ascended the Dragon Pillar, and fused with the rudimentary form of the Dragon God's bloodline, Gu Yue was seen by Di Tian as the Dragon God's chosen successor. Some of Gu Yue's lost prestige returned. As for the Golden Dragon King...

We will miss you dearly!

The Ascending Dragon Pillar emitted a series of humming sounds, and the energy accumulated within it flowed along the dragon's body to his limbs and bones. Di Tian's aura rose at a visible speed, and his originally golden eyes became even more dazzling.

His cultivation level increased by a staggering nine hundred thousand years!

Zi Ji and the Red King each revealed their true forms, sitting cross-legged beneath the rising dragon pillar. The Yin Water of the Hell Dragon King and the Hellfire of the Three-Headed Red Demon Hound mingled and reflected each other.

Not far away, Qian Gu Xing Ci sat cross-legged on an underwater reef.

A tiny, silvery-white starlight gently swept across the oncoming torrent of the Golden Dragon King.

The Star Pivot Dao Meridian operated wildly, and an invisible boundary appeared, splitting the surging power of the Golden Dragon King in two.

The power of his bloodline transformed into a howling storm that swirled around him before retreating back the way it came. The pure blood and qi within it transformed into strands of golden threads that slowly flowed into his body.

Take the essence and discard the dross.

The ancient star's words drew upon that wisp of golden blood energy, which flowed along the star's meridian to every inch of skin and every bone in the body.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

The heartbeat is like a drumbeat, a direct manifestation of the profound realm of innate secret techniques.

The Golden Dragon King's blood and energy contained a destructive aura, each surge feeling as if it would tear his meridians apart. Blood continuously spilled from the corners of Qian Gu Xing Ci's mouth, and fine cracks appeared on the surface of his skin, but his eyes remained calm as still water.

The essence of cultivating innate secret techniques is a process of destruction followed by construction. How can one see a rainbow without going through wind and rain?!

Chapter 231 Shen-Dai Talks

After an unknown amount of time, when the first ray of morning light pierced through the ten-thousand-meter-deep sea and cast dappled shadows on him, a warm, jade-colored light suddenly burst forth from Qian Gu Xing Ci's body.

His skin became as delicate and lustrous as white jade, and his every move exuded a natural sense of weight and gravitas.

Golden Body Realm, achieved.

Without exception, all cultivation methods of the Body Sect revolve around oneself as the center, with the radius being the risk of death without surviving. This applies to the three awakenings, the innate secret techniques, and even the final Golden Body Arhat.

It would be a waste of the Golden Dragon King's hard work and dedication to achieve three awakenings alone. In order not to let Old Jin down, he couldn't act recklessly!

His foundation is profound, and his innate energy is unprecedentedly abundant, which may be a good opportunity to break through to the point of achieving the flawless golden body.

The Innate Secret Technique, as the name suggests, is to hone the physical body to the perfection seen by the Body Sect. If the Golden Body Realm is to forge an indestructible physical body, then the Leakless Golden Body is to pursue the perfection and flawlessness of the physical body.

Thinking of this, Qian Gu Xing Ci faced the god-level power of the Golden Dragon King in his human form. His body trembled violently, and blood seeped from his seven orifices. His physical body was destroyed time and time again, but his powerful life force rebuilt it each time.

The already powerful golden body became even closer to perfection under this almost self-torturous tempering.

Gradually, the jade-like light surrounding him began to subside. He became completely natural, without a trace of his former aura escaping. His skin no longer had a dazzling luster, but instead exuded a warm and restrained quality.

The power of the stars within his body circulated freely, and his breathing became long and steady. With each breath, he could cause the surrounding天地元气 (heaven and earth energy) to move in rhythm.

From that moment on, the pain subsided, and Qian Gu Xing Ci pondered what his three awakenings were.

The power of stars in the Star Pivot Dao Meridian is among the best. The second awakening did not bring about a leap in attributes, but the golden-level awakening of his physical body made his blood and qi flow like a dragon.

Will it be a further exploration of the physical body?

The Taiwei Soul Core, the only one of the three soul cores to take shape, undergoes a change imperceptibly. The righteous energy of heaven and earth is continuously refined, and the illusory concept of innate energy exists in every corner of the human body. The righteous energy of heaven and earth flowing through the whole body forms a clever combination with the innate energy.

The changes in the body naturally attracted the attention of the ancient star verses. The righteous energy of heaven and earth was undergoing an unknown transformation, and it was brought about by the innate energy.

What people see and hear limits the boundaries of their thoughts. The three awakenings rely on the strong innate energy. In other words, the combination of innate energy and the physical body brings about the three awakenings.

Can the righteous energy of heaven and earth, which combines with the innate energy, also undergo a qualitative change?

……

Star Luo Continent, Imperial City.

The crystal chandelier reflected a warm glow, illuminating the brightly lit palace at night. That night, the Starry Palace welcomed a very important guest: Dai Tianling, seated on the dragon throne, personally received him.

"Commander Shen's presence is an honor, and I apologize for not being able to greet you properly."

Dai Tianling gave Shen Yue a hearty laugh.

"I apologize for my uninvited arrival, Your Majesty," Shen Yue said with a slight bow, her manner impeccable. While the support of the Shen family was undoubtedly crucial in her ability to secure the position of legion commander at such a young age, her shrewd and sophisticated manner even compensated for her relatively weak cultivation. In the Douluo Continent, strength ultimately reigns supreme, and in the realm of court intrigue, the ability to read between the lines is often of paramount importance.

"Then Commander Shen wouldn't have come without a reason..."

After a few pleasantries, Dai Tianling asked the question that had been lingering in her mind: what news would Shen Yue bring in this era of rapid change?

Just recalling and relaying Shen Ming's thoughts, Shen Yue's heart was overwhelmed by a storm of emotions.

"After the Blood God Legion entered the legion system, it sided directly with the hawks. The Blood God Legion's Blood One is Cao Dezhi, the current Tang Sect Douluo Hall Master, who is also known as the Ruthless Douluo. Because of this, the Tang Sect is somewhat wavering."

The three pillars of the dove faction... now it should be two pillars. Has even the Tang Sect wavered?

Can the Shen family, whose foundation is waning, really suppress the ambitious Federation for Xingluo?

He asked calmly, "In that case, Commander Shen, do you have a brilliant plan?"

Strictly speaking, Shen Yue's arrival was an illegal crossing. The Shen family's opposition to the Federation's attack on the Star Luo Empire and the Shen family's support for the Star Luo Empire are two different things. Directly contacting the Star Luo Emperor already leaned the Shen family towards the second position, which the Federation could not tolerate.

Given such a desperate gamble, Dai Tianling absolutely does not believe that the Shen family has no ulterior motives.

"We cannot bring back the Sky-Supporting Douluo, the number one person on the continent, after the catastrophe that Shrek Academy has suffered, but the Tang Sect, which is still wavering, still has a chance to fight for it."

"The hawks are powerful, and the divine decree is looming overhead. Perhaps we should sacrifice the pawns to save the king. Let's unite all available forces and make the Dai family a behemoth that surpasses the five great families..."

A true expert's skill is immediately apparent; the Shen family's promise is incredibly grand and impressive.

Any ruler would try to avoid a gambler's mentality. Faced with a federation that has eliminated internal and external troubles, it would be even more difficult for the Star Luo Empire to become independent. Dai Tianling dared not and could not entrust the fate of the country to others.
