The moment they left the Dragon Valley space, Xu Zihuang felt the soul power in his body, which had been suppressed, recover.
The energy filled with an aura of destruction drilled into his body from every pore, merging into his bloodline. It was an existence of a higher grade, yet sharing the same root and source as his martial soul and bloodline.
Just like when he had previously absorbed the dragon soul energy of the Blue Electric Tyrant Dragon, his bloodline and martial soul were also subtly becoming purer.
Considering the overbearing nature of the destruction attribute, Xu Zihuang did not only focus on the immediate benefits of his bloodline and martial soul sublimation. At the same time, he released a layer of soul power outward, slightly curling his body to protect Wang Qiu'er within it.
Leaning into Xu Zihuang's embrace, Wang Qiu'er's soft and delicate body clearly trembled slightly along with his movement. Their heartbeats were clearly audible to each other, and they could even feel the warm touch of each other's skin.
But strangely, at this moment, they seemed to be in a void of space, unable to see their surroundings clearly.
Xu Zihuang's perception was sharper; this was clearly the high-speed movement of shuttling through space. When he used the Golden-Eyed Martial Soul's true body ability to tear open space and shift his own coordinates, such a situation would appear.
Realizing this, he actually felt more at ease. At least everything was within a controllable range. Moreover, recalling these changes, he already had some vague guesses.
At that moment, Wang Qiu'er, whose body had just relaxed, suddenly tensed up again as if by conditioned reflex.
Their bodies were intimately pressed together. Noticing Wang Qiu'er's abnormality, Xu Zihuang immediately asked aloud, "What's wrong?"
Earlier, when Wang Qiu'er had unhesitatingly blocked the Dragon God dragon soul's attack for him, he felt some emotion in his heart.
"N-nothing…" Wang Qiu'er bit her red lips tightly, replying in an unnatural tone.
However, in this void space, Xu Zihuang could not see Wang Qiu'er's facial expression or subtle movements; he could only judge from her tone.
He merely thought she was not used to it, but in the next instant, what he felt was a large expanse of smooth and slippery skin.
Xu Zihuang's figure instantly stiffened.
Coincidentally, not long after, their vision returned.
The first thing that met their eyes was a world of deep purple. This space was not as vast and colorful as the Dragon Valley space; it had only a monotonous deep purple. Even the air was permeated with a faint purple glow, extraordinarily divine and strange.
And in the center of this deep purple world stood a dragon skeleton far larger than even the Mountain Dragon King. The dragon bones were also deep purple, transparent like amethyst. Even after death, a terrifying pressure capable of destroying heaven and earth still permeated from its remains.
Above the dragon bones floated an even deeper and more profound strange bone. It resembled a miniaturized combination of a human's spine, ribs, and sternum, radiating brilliant deep purple light.
Dragon-scale-like patterns were engraved inside the bone. The reason it could float in midair was that it released energy so dense it was nearly tangible, forming a small, deep purple vortex that supported it.
Another torso soul bone. Judging from its aura, its quality must surpass even the Mountain Dragon King's torso bone.
A massive, deep purple dragon soul circled around this torso soul bone, emitting low, deep dragon roars. It was precisely the dragon soul from earlier that had confronted the Dragon God dragon soul and brought them here.
Xu Zihuang's gaze instantly fixed on that dragon soul and the torso soul bone. His second martial soul and bloodline almost uncontrollably resonated with them.
Watching this scene, Wang Qiu'er also felt immense shock. However, she quickly came back to her senses. Her pretty face flushed red as she struggled free from Xu Zihuang's embrace.
Although Xu Zihuang had tried his best to protect her from the destruction energy's invasion, the deep purple dragon soul's attribute and energy level were still above his own. A large portion of her clothing inevitably melted away under the destruction flames.
Hiding in a corner, Wang Qiu'er quickly took out a loose garment from her storage soul guide device and draped it over herself. Only then did she cover her perfect body curves that would make any woman envious, neither too thin nor overly plump, every part just right.
Xu Zihuang glanced sideways at her, while Wang Qiu'er shyly crossed her arms over her chest, puffing out her fair cheeks in embarrassment.
At this moment, where was there any trace of the cold arrogance of the Emperor's Auspicious Beast? There was only the coquettish charm belonging to a young girl.
Xu Zihuang smiled lightly and shook his head. His personality meant he would never deliberately cater to others. If Wang Qiu'er had always shown this side from the beginning, perhaps he would not have rejected her so much back then.
Of course, that was unrealistic. Because Wang Qiu'er was only like this toward him.
Xu Zihuang withdrew his gaze and looked again at the deep purple dragon soul and torso soul bone.
If his guess was correct, this dragon soul, torso soul bone, and that massive dragon skeleton were all left behind by the ancestor of the Purple Brilliant Heaven Destroying Dragon, the Huang Long. In other words, this space was inseparably connected to the inheritance of the Sun Moon Empire imperial family's Purple Brilliant Heaven Destroying Dragon martial soul; it was the Sun Moon ancestral land.
With this thought, Xu Zihuang slowly raised his left hand and released the Huang Long Claw. Clusters of semi-transparent deep purple destruction flames danced upon the Huang Long Claw.
Sensing the aura of the Huang Long Claw, the low dragon roars from the deep purple dragon soul, which gained a touch of gentleness and intimacy. Some semblance of intelligence seemed to return to the dragon head's eye sockets as it gazed at Xu Zihuang, no longer filled only with instinctive hatred and rage.
Immediately after, the Huang Long dragon soul drilled into the interior of that torso soul bone. The deep purple torso soul bone burst with even more dazzling light, then transformed into a streak of flowing light and surged directly into Xu Zihuang's body.
In an instant, Xu Zihuang's body froze uncontrollably in place. His mind seemed to sink into the ancient era. Angry dragon roars rang in his ears.
A majestic, deep purple giant dragon resisted the Dragon God unwillingly. Even covered in wounds and drenched in blood, it refused to submit.
Finally, spilling blood across the sky, it fell on a vast continent. Yet at the moment of its fall, relying on its formidable strength, it forcibly opened up a space and sealed its corpse and all its inheritance within.
"Huang Long Wang…" A complete memory of this deep purple giant dragon emerged in Xu Zihuang's mind as he murmured.
"The Tenth Dragon King Who Does Not Exist in the World."
More accurately, everything about the Huang Long Wang had been erased by the Dragon God. Later generations of the dragon race did not even know of this Tenth Dragon King's existence.
In the ancient era, shortly after the Dragon God was born, it began roaming the universe. Later, it found a planet, Douluo Star. Thus, it began creating its own subjects on Douluo Star. The first created were the legendary Nine Great Dragon Kings.
Each Dragon King was extremely powerful, inheriting a portion of the Dragon God's power. Among them, the Golden-Eyed Black Dragon King, who controlled darkness and annihilation, became the Dragon God's guard captain, assisting the Dragon God in managing the dragon race's order. The Holy Dragon King controlled life and creation, responsible for the dragon race's reproduction.
There was also the Mountain Dragon King, who, generation after generation, turned into mountains and continents, providing breeding and dwelling places for the dragon race, and so on.
But in truth, the Huang Long Wang was the most powerful among all the Dragon Kings. Because it was born alongside the Dragon God as a companion, it was the aggregation of all the Dragon God's dark sides, inheriting the most primal destruction power in the universe.
Destruction power stood opposite creation power; they were the two attributes the Dragon God ultimately chose to complete its nine attributes.
Although his consciousness was immersed in Huang Long Wang's memories, Xu Zihuang could clearly feel that the bones of his torso, including his spine, sternum, and ribs, were all covered in a layer of deep purple luster without exception. It was as if his torso bones had been clad in a suit of amethyst armor. An indescribable sense of solidity filled him with power.
Within the Huang Long Wang's torso bone lurked extremely terrifying destruction power—not only from the soul bone itself but also from the Huang Long Wang dragon soul's energy.
Xu Zihuang felt a chill in his heart. He temporarily chose not to draw out all the energy inside the soul bone, instead sealing it away for the time being.
With his current physical condition, fusing all this energy in one go would still be too forced. After all, this was a fusion from the inside out, difficult to control. Moreover, he was doing this with an eye toward his future breakthrough to the Title Douluo level.
The parts of the human body where soul cores condense are three: the upper dantian, middle dantian, and lower dantian, corresponding to the space between the eyebrows, the chest, and the lower abdomen.
His spiritual-attribute soul core had already condensed in the space between his eyebrows. The remaining two soul cores could naturally only be placed at the chest and lower abdomen.
The Huang Long Wang's torso bone perfectly corresponded to his chest. In the future, he could completely use the remnant energy in the soul bone and the Huang Long Wang dragon soul's energy as the embryonic form for condensing a destruction-attribute soul core.
Combined with Mu Lao's light-attribute true dragon dragon pill as the embryonic form for the third soul core in his lower abdomen, Xu Zihuang would have at least a ninety percent or higher chance of condensing a lightning-attribute third soul core. With three mutually complementary yet extremely overbearing soul cores, spiritual attribute, destruction attribute, and lightning attribute- he would surely become the strongest existence below the god level in the current era once he accomplished this.
The Huang Long Wang dragon soul force had already lost its intelligence and could only act on instinct. Just as Xu Zihuang had anticipated, the Huang Long Wang dragon soul force did not resist but obediently settled within the Huang Long Wang's torso bone.
As an existence second only to the Dragon God, what the Huang Long Wang brought was undoubtedly the highest-grade torso soul bone. Not only would Xu Zihuang's physical strength receive a massive leap, but he would also gain two soul bone skills surpassing all his current soul skills.
Moreover, given Huang Long Wang's special nature, these two soul bone skills would surely be attack-type ones.
This is way more badass than the Mountain Dragon King torso bone? Wait until the protagonist gets stronger later to go back to the Dragon Valley. All true dragon soul bones become the imperial treasury; dragon bones are turned into soul tools, and dragon souls are passed down as imperial soul spirits. Ruthlessly exploit those beasts' gold coins.
