--- Chapter 174 ---
The 'Soul Contract' ritual began.
A golden beam erupted from Di Yating's draconic body, creating a pillar of light that illuminated the area around her. However, this radiant display was short-lived as a wave of demonic energy burst forth from Han Yuan, engulfing the surroundings like an overwhelming tsunami.
It felt as if the entire world was on the verge of drowning, solely due to Han Yuan's existence. Di Yating gazed at him in awe, perceiving him as a devil incarnate, tempted to accept his alluring offer.
Despite the chilling thoughts swirling in her mind, she couldn't help but swallow her nervousness and become captivated by the demonic power emanating from him.
The temptation arose not just from Han Yuan's formidable aura, but also from her own spirit. There was something about this demonic display that stirred her deepest desires. When her silverish-red eyes locked onto his silverish-purple ones, Di Yating could no longer resist; she allowed herself to surrender completely.
Typically, a Soul Contract requires two beings to understand and trust one another, forming a strong bond. Yet Di Yating chose to yield to this sensation, granting Han Yuan the authority to decide her fate. It was hard to fathom that such a proud dragon would lower her dignity in this way, yet she felt she had no other choice. After all, the Heavenly Demon is an entity that defies norms, and forming a contract with one is considered an honorable responsibility.
Of course, it was essential to acknowledge that Han Yuan was stronger than Di Yating, defeating her with absolute suppression and possessing infinite potential.
BOOM!
At last, Demonic Power completely drowned Di Yating and allowed her to become one with Han Yuan, or more precisely, Heavenly Demon's Body.
The glimmering golden pillar slowly vanished, leaving a swirl of purplish-dark storm in the area.
Then, a deafening roar of excitement reverberated from the abyss.
ROAR!
"What the fuck?!" The golden flame was speechless.
A slender, serpentine body emerged from the purplish abyss. Compared to the Abyssal White Dragon, this dragon is noticeably smaller, measuring over ten meters in length, and is 'beautifully' covered with glowing purple-silver scales. Its sharp, angular head is 'sharply' clad by purplish-golden scales that radiate a demonic yet ethereal glow. Atop the dragon's head are four curved horns, twisted and shaped like a halo, which emit a strange demonic light that seems to corrode the air around them.
In addition to its size, the dragon has undergone significant changes. She now possesses strong arms equipped with extremely sharp claws, as well as two jet-black, feathered wings. The dragon's tail has likewise evolved, featuring a more halberd-like split at the end, unlike the previous trident shape. Its silverish-red eyes have transformed, displaying purplish sclera that convey a sense of looking down upon the world while remaining submissive to its contractor. Marking its forehead is a dimly glowing purple-gold sun symbol.
Even though this unknown demonic dragon has an uncanny resemblance to the Abyssal White Dragon, they aren't the same. After all, this dragon possesses an aura that can break the world.
Even then, this dragon is just the beginning of the surprise.
As the dragon appeared and the stormy abyss receded, a human figure appeared.
It was Han Yuan.
He's still wearing his tattered martial uniform, exposing his back. Yet, the back now has an additional coiled dragon tattoo resembling the real one near him. On top of that, he also got another pair of jet-black feathered wings on his lower right back.
Due to the abyssal winds, Han Yuan's silver hair dances gently, giving him this otherworldly charm. Then, one massive orange-purple spirit ring with a slender, serpentine dragon marking appears above his hand.
The ring is glowing with demonic power, existing beyond the norms of the douluo plane. It passively absorbs the power from the surrounding area and the void.

...
Han Yuan let out a sigh, "Too strong. I felt like I could rip anything apart with physical prowess alone now."
"The gains are much better than I thought."
"But now I don't even know how strong I've become."
"These spirit skills, Demonic Power, and the new Domain are insane by this world's standard."
"Even the gods above aren't any stronger than this."
"What a hassle."
"..." The golden flame.
'Okay, you're bragging so blatantly now. No wonder the Son of Corruption felt so damned cheap compared to you!'
Han Yuan glanced at Di Yating, "How are you, Di Yating?"
Di Yating met Han Yuan's eyes and softened her gaze, "Couldn't be better, Han Yuan."
"The contract healed me, and I even evolved..."
"Thank you."
Her voice is warm and grateful.
Han Yuan smiled, "You're welcome."
"We are partners now."
"Yeah..." Di Yating couldn't wait to attack the Divine Realm, especially that damned Asura. After forming the contract, she has this inexplicable expectation in her heart.
