Douluo: Dragon King's Tai Chi Mystery

Each spiral caused ripples to spread through the space. The Teng Snake transformed into a giant python that encircled the mortal world. Its incredibly large body coiled along the inner side of the Dragon Valley plane, which was on the verge of collapse. Black flames scorched the barrier, as if it were forcibly welding the space together!

As the illusory image of the Teng Snake exerted its power and control, the Dragon Valley plane was enveloped by the infinitely extending pitch-black snake body, as if it were tightly bound by a burning giant python, and the space that had just drifted stopped!

"boom--"

The halberd slammed heavily onto the ground, its powerful light suppressing all directions, aimed at the core of the earth beneath its feet, where the dragon vein's power had accumulated!

"town!"

Zhao Xuanzhen merged his will with that of the two Eight Deceitful Gods, uttering the same syllable, as if a divine decree had been issued!

The earth ripples, centered on the point where the halberd pierced the ground, caused the awakened ancient earth veins to roar and instantly spread to every corner of the Dragon Valley plane. The central soil solidified the shifting plane, and the dragon vein's earth power, which had accumulated for countless years, had been dormant since the fall of the dragon race. The dissipated profound power was forcibly awakened and dominated by the rules of the talisman!

The Dragon Valley plane transformed into a breathtaking array of heaven and earth, with countless profound runes illuminating the earth and sky. The power of the dragon veins surged like giant dragons into the halberd that was deeply embedded in the earth, and the halberd burst forth with a blazing golden light like the sun, as if it had replaced the core of the Dragon God and become the new fulcrum of Dragon Valley!

Upon seeing this, the illusory image of the Teng Snake encircling the dimensional barrier suddenly tightened its grip on the spatial barrier, its black flames blazing fiercely as it exerted all its strength to suppress the spatial tremors. The Fangtian Halberd, piercing the earth like a stabilizing needle, drew upon the ancient, accumulated power of Dragon Valley to firmly fix this space in place!

The combined power of the two gods achieved an astonishing fusion, with the southern fire of the Tengshe and the central earth of the Zhifu forming a perfect spatial lock.

The countless dragons who had perished in Dragon Valley understood that Zhao Xuanzhen was helping them and helping the dragons protect the Dragon Tomb. Their dragon eyes shone brightly, and dragon clouds and dragon souls soared into the sky, contributing their own strength!

In an instant, countless chains of laws formed in Dragon Valley, locking the plane in place. Dragon Valley left its original location and settled on another spatial rift, no longer under the control of the Tang Sect, nor leaving the Douluo Star drifting universe!

By combining the power of the two gods, the Dragon Valley space is stabilized!

Chapter 144 The Dragon God's Companion, the Torso Bones of the Radiant Dragon King, Ambition for Creation, Heading North (4K)

One month later, Dragon Valley.

Dragon Valley fell into a long silence, the air stagnant, the dragon bones stood tall like mountains, and the thousands of dragon souls vowed to protect it, doing their utmost to stabilize the space of Dragon Valley.

Above them was a dark shadow burning with the flames of deception, and the Teng Snake kept coiling around the sky. The Chief's Fangtian Halberd was deeply embedded in the Dragon Valley, and divine light flowed as it mobilized the dragon veins deep in the ground.

Zhao Xuanzhen sat alone in the center of the dragon tomb he had sealed himself, his eyes closed in a deep, dark light, his soul power surging like a tide. The dragon souls knew he was a benefactor who had helped the dragon race, and they all transferred their dragon power to him, replenishing his weakened body after merging with the two Eight Demon Gods, and tempering his flesh and spirit.

"Om-"

Zhao Xuanzhen suddenly exhaled, forming a hazy white mist, then slowly stood up and stretched, feeling refreshed and full of energy.

As the pinnacle quasi-gods standing at the top of the Douluo Continent, even Zhao Xuanzhen, the master of Qimen, had to break through to the seventh ring Soul Saint level to fuse with one of them without any side effects.

In order to use the endless star power of the starry night to deal with Tang San, Zhao Xuanzhen forcibly fused with Tengshe with his three-ring Soul Master cultivation. The price was that he was weak for a month, and Na'er teased him for being a sickly childhood sweetheart.

This time, the three-ring Soul Master grew into a six-ring Soul Emperor, and the fused Eight Deceitful Gods changed from Tengshe to Tengshe + Value Talisman. Although the period of weakness was late, it arrived.

Fortunately, being in the Dragon Valley space at this moment, Zhao Xuanzhen's weakness did not hinder his work. He recovered his energy while absorbing the power bestowed by the thousands of dragon souls in gratitude. The two Eight Demon Gods guided the dragon souls to continue reinforcing the Dragon Valley space to prevent the possibility of a second collapse.

There was no need to worry about the Dragon Valley space. Zhao Xuanzhen stepped to a purple-gold dragon bone corpse. Compared to the Mountain Dragon King and the Light Dragon King beside him, he was obviously more interested in this dragon bone. His dark pupils met the empty dragon eyes.

"boom--"

Two suns lit up in the Dragon Valley space, burning with brilliant purple-gold flames. The moment the vertical line appeared, the suns transformed into a pair of pupils, huge and bright. The overlapping halos made it seem as if a ball of purple-gold fire had risen from the ground. The dragon soul raised its mountain-like head, and the purple-gold dragon looked down at Zhao Xuanzhen, who was the size of an ant on the ground.

Before the two dragon kings fell, the soul of the purple-gold dragon remained in the dragon cemetery, coldly observing all the conflicts. It witnessed the dragon god's final defeat in the great battle against the gods of the divine realm, the Asura Demon Sword cleaving through the hard bodies of countless dragons, blood pouring down like a torrential rain, and bones falling like meteors. The glorious dragon race was irreversibly heading towards its end.

The purple-gold dragon lowered its head, its majestic and ancient outline outlined by the destructive flames that annihilated all things. Its eyes were like swirling purple-gold vortexes, the center of which held no emotion, only the destructive will to silence all things.

The dragon soul merely hovered silently in the sky, yet the Dragon Valley space emitted subtle cracking sounds, and countless dragon bones below trembled slightly, emitting a low hum, like fear or a lament.

This power is only one percent of the power left behind by the purple-gold dragon after its death. It is unimaginable how powerful this dragon soul was in life!

Sensing the unusual movement of the Purple-Gold Dragon, the dragon souls of the Mountain Dragon King and the Light Dragon King raised their heads, and the three dragons faced each other from afar. The two dragon souls, who were ranked among the nine dragon kings, joined forces to warn the Purple-Gold Dragon that the dragon race clearly distinguishes between gratitude and grudges and always repays kindness, and should not have any improper thoughts.

The Dragon Souls are not a monolithic entity; they are clearly distinct from one another. To put it bluntly, the two Dragon Kings lead all the Dragon Souls, while the Purple-Gold Dragon stands alone.

Zhao Xuanzhen took in the situation of both sides, stared intently at the purple-gold dragon whose destructive aura was fully unleashed, and calmly uttered its true name:

"I never expected to meet you in Dragon Valley, the dragon born of the Dragon God..."

The Radiant Dragon King.

Upon hearing the familiar title, the Radiant Dragon King seemed to pause for a moment, his flames of destruction flashing as he exclaimed, "It's rare that the glorious legend of this king is still being sung on Douluo Star."

The Radiant Dragon King, a dragon born alongside the Dragon God and the progenitor of destruction.

The relationship between the Dragon God and the Radiant Dragon King is similar to that of Austin Griffin, the creator god/god of divine punishment on the throne of the Divine Seal King, representing two sides of the same coin in the world.

However, the Radiant Dragon King was not as lucky as Austin Griffin. The Dragon God, fearing his destructive nature was too fierce, decided to execute him personally, strip him of his title of Dragon King, and leave his body in this dragon cemetery.

"Douluo Continent is currently ruled by the Sun Moon Federation. Among the three royal inherited martial souls of the Sun Moon Empire, the predecessor of the Sun Moon Federation, there is the Purple Emperor Annihilation Dragon, a descendant of the Radiant Dragon King. Therefore, Douluo Continent has never forgotten you."

The Radiant Dragon King snorted lightly: "Humans are all talk and no action. Just say it, what brings you here to see me?"

“Since the Radiant Dragon King is unwilling to talk more, then I will get straight to the point.” A glint of light suddenly flashed in Zhao Xuanzhen’s eyes. “Having been dormant in Dragon Valley for more than a million years, your power and wisdom have been gradually fading away with time.”

As the first dragon king below the dragon god, it is a pity that the dragon god is aging. I would like to invite the Radiant Dragon King to accompany me, and let the dragon soul become my seventh soul ring.

"The Radiant Dragon King has witnessed my abilities before. With your extraordinary wisdom, you should know that even if the Douluo God Realm ceases to exist, I still have the confidence to become a god. At that time, together we will overthrow the God Realm and avenge ourselves against the Asura God King who cleaved countless dragons!"

"The Vengeful Asura God..." The Radiant Dragon King rubbed his mouthful of sharp teeth. "I am, after all, a member of the Dragon Clan. The shame of the Dragon Clan is my shame. To wash away the shame of the Dragon Clan is indeed an enticing proposal."

That old senile Dragon God spouts nonsense about uncontrollable destructive power. Look at the human gods; the God of Destruction is living a carefree life, respected and loved by the gods of the divine realm.

"If I had been present during that war in the divine realm, the dragon race would never have been defeated, and the divine beasts would have ruled the divine realm afterwards!"

"It seems the Dragon King is interested in cooperating?" Zhao Xuanzhen chuckled.

"Cooperation?" The Radiant Dragon King let out a contemptuous sneer. "I am a noble dragon, the progenitor of destruction!"

As everyone knows, humans and dragons are not meant to be, and I, the king, will never become your vassal!

"Is that so? That's a shame."

Zhao Xuanzhen revealed a perfectly timed expression of regret, turned half of his body to the side, and while glancing at the Mountain Dragon King and the Light Dragon King, he kept an eye on the Radiant Dragon King's reaction.

"According to top-secret records, the reason why the Dragon God broke through to the Supreme God King was closely related to the destructive power of the Radiant Dragon King. It is even possible that the Dragon God absorbed the destructive power of the Radiant Dragon King and condensed the Destruction Godhead."

I have a private guess: the Dragon God was able to achieve unparalleled personal combat power with his Destruction Godhood and Creation Godhood. If the Radiant Dragon King absorbed life energy, would he become the next generation Dragon God in one fell swoop?

I happen to know of a secret realm called Devil's Island, flowing with the divine power left behind by the Goddess of Life and the God King of Destruction. It would be perfect for the Radiant Dragon King. It seems that the fusion of the God King of Destruction and the Goddess of Life could synthesize a Creator God!

Zhao Xuanzhen's voice, as melodious and expressive as a national-level announcer, was overflowing with emotion. Life energy, the next-generation dragon god, and the creator god seemed like tiny hands constantly teasing the beating heart of the Radiant Dragon King.

"Of course, I never force dragons to do anything they don't want. Since the Radiant Dragon King has no intention of cooperating, then let's just drop the matter. The Mountain Dragon King controls mountains, rivers, and seas; he is the embodiment of the great power of nature, and his potential is no less than that of the Radiant Dragon King."

The Light Dragon King wields the Dragon Clan's magical sword, the Dragon Slayer Sword. I also happen to know that the Dragon Slayer Sword has already transformed into a human and is currently undergoing training in a military camp somewhere in the Sun and Moon Federation.

"Hey, I suddenly remembered something. Actually, I have a very close personal relationship with Di Tian, ​​the current Dark Dragon King of the Dragon Clan. Maybe I could ask the two of them to fuse light and darkness, and with the divine weapon, the Dragon Slayer Blade, wouldn't that be more powerful than the Radiant Dragon King?"

“Wait a minute!!!”

Seeing that Zhao Xuanzhen had gradually convinced him and changed his target to the Bright Dragon King next door, the Radiant Dragon King couldn't sit still any longer and shouted loudly!

"Although humans and dragons are different, let's be honest."

The Radiant Dragon King solemnly declared, "I am the Destruction Dragon King, personally executed by the Dragon God. Throughout the long history of the dragon race, I have always been a symbol of destructive calamities, an ultimate terror akin to a demonic dragon..."

Upon hearing about the life-destroying power of the two great god-kings, the Radiant Dragon King's attitude immediately underwent a complete 180-degree turn. He passionately described himself as the Destruction Dragon King, whose combat power far surpassed that of the Light Dragon King. He also claimed that for countless years he had been ostracized by the dragon souls of the dragon race in the Dragon Tomb, and had always been frustrated and unfulfilled. He said that cooperating with Zhao Xuanzhen was a godsend!

"Slap slap slap / Awooo!"

Zhao Xuanzhen applauded the actors, while the Dragon Valley Dragon Souls were indignant, accusing the Radiant Dragon King of telling little lies all the time!

My buddy's dead, what dragon would be so bored as to target a dead dragon?!

The Radiant Dragon King glared fiercely at the surrounding dragon souls, then, with a fawning dragon face, asked, "Humans, did the two God-Kings of Life and Destruction truly leave behind any power in the Douluo Continent?"

“I’m only telling the truth,” Zhao Xuanzhen replied. “I thought you would agree, and I even planned to take you to absorb it, but…”

"I agree, I agree!"

"King Huanglong, are you not going to force me?" Zhao Xuanzhen teased deliberately.

"I will not force you; it is my heart's desire!" King Huanglong said firmly. "By the way, we hit it off immediately and will be allies in the future. This is the dragon bone that dropped after my death; absorb it quickly!"

Having almost been relegated from the preliminary selection to the backup, the Radiant Dragon King was as anxious as a monkey jumping around because it couldn't get a banana. If given a choice, who would want to lie dead in the dragon graveyard, especially when it was a golden opportunity to become the next Dragon God!

As soon as he finished speaking, a dragon claw made of destructive energy emerged from the void and proactively delivered a piece of soul bone to Zhao Xuanzhen.

Its shape corresponds to the core of the human torso, with a thick spine like a dragon's back as the main body, symmetrical rib outlines extending from both sides, and a broad sternum connecting in front.

The entire soul bone exhibited an extremely deep purple-gold color, as if it had been peeled off from the core of destruction. Inside the soul bone was the purest amethyst color, with flames of destruction surging and burning, releasing a domineering aura that made the Dragon Valley space tremble!

The torso of the Radiant Dragon King!

The Radiant Dragon King was completely tamed, and Zhao Xuanzhen accepted the divine-level soul bone. It wasn't that he looked down on the Mountain Dragon King's torso soul bone, but rather that the Radiant Dragon King was more cost-effective.

The Mountain Dragon King's torso has two major soul skills. One is gravity control, which can be mastered by a variety of soul beasts, including the Titan Giant Ape, the Mighty Vajra Bear, and the Soft Bone Rabbit.

The second soul skill, Mountain Dragon Control, is a purely defensive soul skill. The two are not very compatible with Zhao Xuanzhen. Before entering Dragon Valley, Zhao Xuanzhen was considering the Light Dragon King, but after entering, he discovered the Radiant Dragon King, who possessed the power of destruction.

The dragon that is born alongside the Dragon God, the Radiant Dragon King, has an extremely high level of prestige. Its soul bone undoubtedly surpasses that of the nine great dragon kings. Moreover, Zhao Xuanzhen did not deceive the Radiant Dragon King; Devil Island does indeed possess the energy to destroy the two great god-kings.

The Radiant Dragon King absorbs the power of life and destruction, which is a kind of yin-yang symbiosis, making it the perfect choice for the seventh soul ring of the true self!

Without delay, Zhao Xuanzhen immediately absorbed the soul bone of the Radiant Dragon King's torso. The white torso bone was stained with purple-gold light, which rushed into his limbs and bones, running through every meridian and acupoint!

The Dragon King's torso and soul bone seamlessly merged with Zhao Xuanzhen. The divine-level soul bone seemed to involve the soul level, and Zhao Xuanzhen saw countless broken and chaotic scenes.

The Radiant Dragon King roared in fury, locked in a fierce battle with a colossal, colorful dragon radiating the light of creation and majesty. With a swipe of its claws, mountains crumbled to dust; with a sweep of its tail, space itself bore eternal scars. Finally, a fatal blow pierced its chest, and purple-gold blood rained down, staining a continent crimson…

Sorrow, resentment, overwhelming hatred, and a destructive will to tear everything apart—it was none other than the epic battle between the Radiant Dragon King and the Dragon God!

After paying the membership fee with his own soul bone, the Radiant Dragon King grinned widely. The two dragon kings in the distance seemed to feel a faint sadness, especially the Light Dragon King, who was truly persuaded by Zhao Xuanzhen and dreamed of his glorious past when he wielded the dragon clan's magic sword!

Everything went smoothly. Zhao Xuanzhen successfully absorbed the Huanglong King's torso bone. The Huanglong King's enormous dragon soul rushed into his body and temporarily resided within the torso bone, waiting for the day when he could freely absorb the power of life and destruction.

"Thank you, I will come back."

The talisman ripped through space, and Zhao Xuanzhen stood before the spatial rift to bid farewell to the dragon race, choosing not to command the earth to bury the dragon bones.

The dragon clan requires a ceremony; burying a dragon and burying a dragon for a thousand days are two completely different things. Zhao Xuanzhen did not want to do such an insincere act.

He was always an outsider, and the task of burying the dragons was more suitable for Gu Yue, the Silver Dragon King, to do.

One day in the future, when Zhao Xuanzhen feels there is no need to hide anymore, he will accompany Gu Yue back to Dragon Valley to bury the dragon's remains together.

……

The azure sea stretches to the distant horizon, merging with the low-hanging white sky. The only thing in sight is the monotonous and vast ocean, with the cold, salty sea breeze howling and stirring up fine white foam.

Gazing at the surging waves, Zhao Xuanzhen remained silent for two and a half seconds, then touched his brow with a bewildered expression:

"Hmm...where did I get this?"

"Douluo Star, huh?" Tengshe said cheekily.

"Your lame jokes are good, but don't tell them again."

As soon as the plane began to migrate, Zhao Xuanzhen used the power of the two Eight Gods and the combined power of the dragons to stabilize the Dragon Valley space again. Therefore, the Dragon Valley did not leave Douluo Star, nor did it drift to the distant Dragon Horse Star System. It remained in the Douluo plane, only away from its previous spatial location.

"Forget it, we'll have to go out to sea anyway to get to Devil's Island."

Zhao Xuanzhen swept his hand across the storage soul tool, and the black-level mecha created by the women descended. Accompanied by a dense metallic clang, the mecha unfolded and stretched like origami, and the internal metal skeleton reorganized and extended.

The entire process was completed in a few seconds, so fast it was dazzling. A black speedboat with sharp lines quickly took shape, with seven soul-guided propulsion nozzles emitting a faint blue light at the stern.

"The Radiant Dragon King's absorption of life and destruction power will inevitably take a considerable amount of time; he might return to Douluo Continent at any time," Zhao Xuanzhen muttered to himself.

"Fortunately, I had already spoken to Senior Body, saying that I would be in seclusion with him to cultivate my Body Martial Soul. Elder Han should be able to help cover it up, and Na'er and Gu Yue can understand."

Wearing the phoenix pendant, the teacher at least knew the person was safe, so returning to Douluo Continent later... probably... likely... seemingly... likely...

Are you alright?

When Zhao Xuanzhen mentioned her beloved teacher Leng Yaozhu, she suddenly felt surprisingly unsure of herself, as if those red phoenix eyes, filled with resentment and anger, were still vivid in her mind.

Shaking his head to clear his mind of all distractions, he couldn't care less about anything else. The Martial Soul True Body meant activating the Martial Soul's origin, and the importance of the seventh spirit ring was even greater than the final ninth spirit ring for human spirit masters. Restoring the power of the Radiant Dragon King and even enabling him to evolve was the top priority!

With this thought in mind, Zhao Xuanzhen sat in the cockpit. In his memory, Devil Island was located in the northern sea area of ​​Douluo Continent. The bow of the ship cut through the blue waves, and white waves rose up on both sides, leaving a long trail of rolling water.

Braving the winds and waves, heading north!

Chapter 145 The Demon Shark Sea: The 100,000-Year-Old Deep-Sea Demon Whale King Under Siege, Enemies Meet Again (4K)

As the golden sun sinks below the horizon, its brilliant colors permeate the vast ocean, its molten gold light flowing gently, and the edges of the surging waves edged with dazzling gold.

A sleek black speedboat, like an arrow released from a bow, sliced ​​through the golden and blue seawater, leaving a trail of churning white foam as it sped northward.

On the speedboat deck, Zhao Xuanzhen activated the mecha's automatic navigation mode, leaned back in a recliner, opened a thick book, and focused his gaze on the complex soul-guiding core array patterns.

Not far ahead, a fishing rod leans out from the side of the boat, the fishing line dangling into the deep seawater where golden light dances, with a bait at the end to tempt the sea monster to bite.

Nestled beside Zhao Xuanzhen was a fluffy, round creature, a capybara holding a book on advanced battle armor theory in a rather adorable manner. Its clear beastly eyes were focused intently on the diagrams of the battle armor, and its front paws occasionally turned the pages, making it look rather clumsy.
