Chapter 350: First Meeting with the Silver Dragon King
Deep in the Thunder Canyon, within the blood-red lightning pool, Yang Xiong currently felt a vague sense of unease, as if the people he cared about were about to encounter trouble.
With a swift wave of his hand, Yang Xiong integrated the Thunder God's Hammer into his torso, preparing to leave this place.
The Thunder Qilin had schemed repeatedly this time, intending to pass the Thunder God's position to him while simultaneously attempting to seize his body.
Unfortunately, no matter how much the Thunder Qilin calculated, he misjudged Yang Xiong's strength and also misjudged Yang Xiong's Power of Creation.
Now, all four of Yang Xiong's limbs had begun to transform, essentially converting into a divine body, but his head and torso had not yet converted.
Yang Xiong's head currently housed his spiritual sea. Not only was it endlessly regenerating and immortal, but his soul had also transformed into a divine soul following the inheritance.
As for his torso, the internal organs formed a unique cycle, like a distinctive small world. Within his torso, it seemed he could create all things at any time, or destroy everything in the world.
Furthermore, the Thunder God's Hammer held the Thunder God's position. Since eliminating that final trace of the Thunder Qilin's divine intent, Yang Xiong had completely mastered the Thunder God's Hammer.
It could be said that Yang Xiong now possessed a god's position, but his body remained merely a demigod's body and had not completed the final transformation of becoming a god.
However, Yang Xiong had now reached level ninety-nine. It could be said that he had completed all the first eight tests of the Asura God, and had even received the reward for the Asura God's test.
"Yang Xiong, Asura Ninth Test, Eighth Test completed. Reward: Asura affinity increased by twenty percent. Total affinity: one hundred and ten percent."
Only then did Yang Xiong have a realization. It seemed this Asura God hid deeply. His actions were probably all under the Asura God's watchful gaze, including the danger he faced when confronting the Thunder Qilin.
Yang Xiong couldn't help but shake his head: "This Asura God thinks quite far ahead. Having reached this stage, I am determined to get the Asura God's position."
Yang Xiong felt that if he simultaneously mastered the god positions of the Asura God and the Thunder God, he could achieve true perfection and truly take the final step to truly become a god.
Especially after his Asura affinity reached one hundred and ten percent, Yang Xiong felt as if he had become like the Asura God himself. Not only could he perfectly master the Asura Demonic Sword, but he could also see clearly the essence of all things.
However, just as Yang Xiong was preparing to leave, a flash of silver light suddenly appeared before him, and a figure materialized in front of him.
This was an extremely beautiful little girl. Not only were her features stunning, but her long silver hair was particularly refreshing and pleasing. Even though Yang Xiong had seen many beauties, he felt the person before him was the most perfect person he had ever seen.
Even Yang Xiong was somewhat surprised, and his nerves tightened. This lightning pool was an independent small world; how could an outsider easily intrude upon this place?
Especially since Yang Xiong could not sense even a trace of soul power fluctuation from this little girl. This meant this person was at least an expert above level ninety-nine, and might even be a true god.
The little girl spoke first: "Yang Xiong, I didn't expect you to reach this realm so quickly. I wonder if I should call you Thunder God, or if I should call you Asura God?"
Yang Xiong looked serious: "Senior, this is not a simple place. I wonder what matter brings you here specifically to find me?"
The little girl said: "My name is Gu Yuena. I have some matters to discuss with you, the new Asura God, or rather, with you, the new God of Order."
Yang Xiong's expression showed shock. He didn't expect the Silver Dragon King to actually appear now. One should know that according to the original work, the Silver Dragon King shouldn't appear for at least another ten thousand years, and heavily injured at that, possessing at most the strength of a Limit Douluo.
"Senior Gu Yuena, you and I are not acquainted. There shouldn't be much for us to talk about. Furthermore, I have some matters to attend to, so I'm afraid I don't have time to communicate with you."
The Silver Dragon King shook her head: "Now is precisely the right time. War has just broken out in the Douluo world. Tang San has already become the new Rakshasa God. What follows is a great war that will determine the development of the Douluo Continent for ten thousand years, and you are the true key to deciding victory or defeat."
Yang Xiong's face turned cold: "In that case, then I should leave even sooner. I don't want to interfere in your affairs."
The Silver Dragon King's face changed slightly: "This is getting interesting. You only heard my name, yet you have no excessive doubts about me. It seems you are clear about my true identity."
"With an anomaly like you appearing in the Douluo world, I find it increasingly interesting. Unfortunately, you are the key that will truly determine the fate of our clan."
A cold sneer appeared at the corner of Yang Xiong's mouth: "Have you misunderstood something? People must rely on their own strength. If you blindly rely on others, I'm afraid in the end, it will just be drawing water with a bamboo basket—all in vain."
Yang Xiong had no special thoughts about the Silver Dragon King, nor did he have any thoughts about the entire soul beast clan.
Although the soul beast clan had produced many experts, and also many amazingly talented individuals, their intelligence was generally low, and the females were all blindly in love. There was simply no meaning in cooperating with them.
Take Gu Yuena and Wang Qiu'er, for example. They held extremely high status in the soul beast clan. Unfortunately, what the hell did they do? Aside from bringing disaster to their clansmen, they made absolutely no contributions, and even got themselves involved. It was simply losing the wife and breaking the army.
The Silver Dragon King said: "Yang Xiong, I don't know how you know of my existence, nor do I know how you know my identity, but right now I truly need to cooperate with you."
A look of disdain appeared at the corner of Yang Xiong's mouth: "I fundamentally don't know who you are, nor do I know how you came here. But since you mention cooperating, then what can you offer, and what do you want me to do?"
The Silver Dragon King said: "I am the Silver Dragon King, the true master of the soul beast clan. Your cooperation with Di Tian last time was secretly supported by me. Otherwise, you wouldn't have been able to obtain the divine bones of those two senior dragons of my dragon clan."
Yang Xiong shook his head: "Silver Dragon King, my cooperation with Di Tian last time was merely taking what we each needed. You also obtained what you wanted. Besides that, I don't want to have any entanglement with you."
The Silver Dragon King's face changed slightly: "Yang Xiong, you picked up a huge bargain from my dragon clan. The two divine bones on your left and right arms are the strongest soul bones in the entire Douluo world. Their potential is limitless, and they are even stronger than that torso soul bone. And from beginning to end, you merely provided information. Isn't this a bit too easy?"
Yang Xiong helplessly shook his head: "This world is truly strange. The transaction is already complete, yet you actually want to back out. I have already absorbed the dragon bones. Isn't it a bit too late to be saying this now?"
"Furthermore, if it weren't for me, I'm afraid you wouldn't have come here, nor would you have returned to normal. You should know in your heart who exactly took advantage."
The Silver Dragon King said: "You indeed know my origins. It seems you hide much deeper than I imagined."
Yang Xiong laughed: "Back then, when the Lord Asura God passed his sword technique to me, his final sword strike could destroy heaven and earth, and even slay giant dragons. You should be one of the two dragons split apart, right?"
Hearing Yang Xiong's words, the Silver Dragon King remained entirely silent. However, a hint of resentment seemed to appear in her eyes, especially as she stared fixedly at the Asura Demonic Sword in Yang Xiong's hand.
After a while, the Silver Dragon King continued speaking: "Right now, time is tight for you. Only I can help you. Don't you care about the life and death of the people around you? Only I can get you to the Jialing Pass battlefield immediately."
Yang Xiong said: "I never accept being threatened. Furthermore, whether Tang San becomes a god or Bibi Dong is about to become a god, it has no impact on me. At worst, I'll just slaughter them all in the future."
The Silver Dragon King's face drastically changed: "They are all gods. They aren't that easy to kill. Especially according to the rules of the God Realm, gods are not allowed to slaughter each other. Furthermore, the current war will be far more brutal than anyone imagines. It's highly likely that all three great empires will be severely damaged. When the time comes, the ones who suffer losses will all be your human race."
Yang Xiong merely looked at the Silver Dragon King with a half-smile, his whole person not intending to say anything.
The Silver Dragon King seemed to think of something: "You guessed everything long ago. I'm afraid this current war is also your indulgence. Otherwise, given your strength, you could have killed Bibi Dong and Qian Renxue long ago. You intentionally let them go just to make the war even more brutal."
"Acting like this, aren't you afraid of becoming a sinner to the human race? Aren't you afraid that human soul masters will gradually head towards decline next?"
Yang Xiong laughed: "I am a bit curious. Although you are known for your outstanding wisdom, how could you not understand the simplest principle in the world?"
"As the saying goes, there is no construction without destruction. Only by experiencing the slaughter and blood of war will people cherish peace, and can this world possess true order."
"Furthermore, from beginning to end, I haven't done anything. When it comes to slaughter, I am far inferior to Tang San and Bibi Dong."
"Also, if you really dare to stop me, dare to prevent me from helping my friends and relatives, then when the time comes, you and I will be irreconcilable enemies. You must think clearly before making a decision."
The Silver Dragon King's face stiffened, and she stopped saying any more nonsense: "Yang Xiong, my soul beast clan wants to cooperate with you. As long as you agree, our soul beast clan can fully support you. We will not only support you in becoming a god but even support you in ruling the entire God Realm."
Yang Xiong's face turned cold: "Have you misunderstood something? With my current strength, whether I want to become a god or the strongest in the God Realm, I fundamentally do not need your help."
"Furthermore, I never believe in pies dropping from the sky. Your soul beast clan lost back then and has already been driven out of the God Realm. What can you possibly offer to support me now?"
"Before wanting to discuss cooperation with me, you had better have sufficient bargaining chips. Otherwise, you will only expose your own strength in vain, and even lose everything you have."
The Silver Dragon King quickly spoke: "Our soul beast clan merely wants a path to survival. Are you unwilling to give us even this little bit?"
