Douluo: Peerless Black Tortoise Moon God

Chapter 271 The Mountain Dragon King's Instructions, Fusion of the Torso Bones
Xu Tianxi's pupils dilated in surprise. "Are you the Mountain Dragon King?"

A deep, mountain-like voice rang out: "Not bad."

Xu Tianxi's mind raced. Not wanting to miss this opportunity, he asked loudly, "This junior already possesses twin martial souls. How should this bloodline be passed on?"

The Mountain Dragon King calmly replied, "It's simple. I will directly inject my bloodline into your body, changing one or two things. With the divine power of my Mountain Dragon lineage, your body will undergo the most powerful transformation. If you cultivate well, your physical body before becoming a god will be comparable to that of a powerful true god."

"Senior is willing to give this junior such an unparalleled opportunity?" Xu Tianxi was overjoyed upon hearing this, and even felt that it was somewhat unreal.

Before becoming a god, his physical body was comparable to that of a powerful true god. He also cultivated his spiritual power. Before becoming a god, he had a great chance of breaking through the Divine Origin Realm and cultivating divine consciousness. The only thing he lacked to become a true god was the ability to transform his soul power into divine power.

However, once the divine body and soul are formed, it is not impossible to transform divine power. If successful, he will be a true god in the mortal realm, and he can break through the void even without a divine position.

"I am a Dragon King, and I never lie. But there are three things you must know," the Mountain Dragon King's voice grew increasingly majestic.

"Please speak, senior." Xu Tianxi bowed respectfully, his expression solemn.

"Firstly, my bloodline is the most difficult to control among the nine dragon kings. Your foundation and strength are good, but not enough. Excessive fighting may lead you to madness," said the Mountain Dragon King.

"After the fall of the Dragon God, he split into the Golden Dragon King and the Silver Dragon King. I have inherited the powerful strength of the Golden Dragon King and the stable attributes of the Silver Dragon King, possessing the strongest defense among the nine dragon clans. However, this also means that you need great perseverance to accept my power."

"At least for now, you cannot fully bear it; cultivation will be accompanied by immense pain."

The Mountain Dragon King spoke very seriously, and Xu Tianxi listened attentively, his expression one of surprise.

Does this even need to be emphasized? What Xu has been most worried about all along is not having the opportunity to fight hard and having enough resources.

"If I may ask, how powerful would my bloodline strength become if I could harness your power?" Xu Tianxi asked with great interest.

Mountain Dragon King: "My power has long since diminished by the passage of time, and is now less than a tenth of what it once was..."

Xu Tianxi's expectation diminished slightly.

The Mountain Dragon King's voice rang out instantly, then his tone shifted, revealing the Dragon King's arrogance: "But you are not comparable to ordinary gods. If you cultivate to the point of physical godhood in this plane, you may be able to absorb enough to barely contend with a second-level god. Even a first-level god cannot easily kill you."

Xu Tianxi immediately clasped his hands in a fist and bowed deeply: "This junior thanks Senior Dragon King for your guidance! Senior, please tell me what other guidance you have. This junior will go through fire and water for you!"

If absorbing a portion of it is enough to fight against a level two god, wouldn't absorbing the whole thing allow one to fight a level one god with their own blood and qi?
Fortunately, he remembered that all nine Dragon Kings were God-King level beings, and among the strongest God-Kings. It was reasonable that the Mountain Dragon King's power, which was only one-tenth of his own, had reached such a level.

The Mountain Dragon King's voice turned low, reminding Xu Tianxi not to be too happy too soon: "The second-level gods and first-level gods I mentioned do not have divine positions. Divine positions are still very important to gods. Unless you become as powerful as I was in my lifetime, you will still need a position."

"However, I see that you are a person with great fortune. With my bloodline, your life force will be greatly extended, and you will have plenty of time to create your own divine position. Do you know the method of gathering faith?"

Xu Tianxi thought for a moment and replied humbly, "I have some knowledge of this, and I hope you can teach me, senior."

"It's simple. Set up your own idol to collect faith, then choose a martial spirit to receive that faith. Once the martial spirit becomes a god, you too will become a god. If you are strong enough, you can not only create your own godhood, but even your own god realm. However, that's a matter of another level..."

When the Mountain Dragon King mentioned creating his own divine realm, it seemed as if he was recalling distant memories and fell into deep thought. Xu Tianxi did not disturb the old dragon.

After a moment, the Mountain Dragon King emerged from his complicated emotions and continued, "Secondly, after accepting my bloodline, you and the little golden dragon will try to contact the Dragon God's spirit."

"In that case, it might be possible for the dragon race to revive in the future, and we are all willing to help you in that process."

"Of course, I know that the chances of this are slim, and there is no need to force it if it cannot be done. The most important thing is the third point: I want you to pass on my bloodline as the Mountain Dragon King no matter what in the future."

Two question marks appeared in Xu Tianxi's eyes as he asked, puzzled, "The second point is easy to handle, but the third point... when you say inheritance, does it mean bestowing bloodline upon other humans, or...?"

"Of course, it's about finding a woman to mate with and reproduce, to give birth to a genius who can awaken my martial soul. You even have to ask this? You're really stupid." The Mountain Dragon King's tone was quite disdainful.

Xu Tianxi's lips twitched. The Dragon Clan's style was far too brutal. They pressured Di Tian first, and now they wanted to pressure him too? Why don't you go and ask my sister to help you inherit the legacy?
Swallowing hard, Xu Tianxi's Adam's apple bobbed, and his voice became strange: "I know that your bloodline is powerful, senior, but I also possess quite a few top-tier bloodlines: Moon, Black Tortoise, and Purple Emperor Annihilation Dragon. Awakening a martial soul is a matter of probability..."

"If one doesn't work, just keep having more. It's that simple." The Mountain Dragon King's tone grew even more disdainful, as if he wanted to personally instruct the user on how to perform micro-management.
"Let me tell you, the most important thing for us dragons is to reproduce and mate. You humans don't need to be so long-winded. Just find a woman with good bloodline and appearance, knock her unconscious and take her home. At worst, you can give her some of your blood to drink."

Our people have an innate instinct to pass on their bloodline. Blood is a superior tonic and also an excellent aphrodisiac…

"Our Mountain Dragon King lineage has always faced the greatest difficulty in reproduction because we transform into mountains and continents upon reaching adulthood. Therefore, I left offspring before I reached adulthood. You are old enough now. As my successor, you must pass on the fine traditions of our clan..."

Xu Tianxi's eyes twitched incessantly: "..."

This was the first time in his life he had encountered such an outrageous event. The more he heard, the more his face twitched, the more black lines appeared on his forehead, and he even had the urge to shut down his mental sea.

Unfortunately, the strength of the person before him was so extraordinary that he couldn't even seal himself off.

After a moment, the Mountain Dragon King, having recounted his own experiences and ancient tales of the dragon race, seemed to have finally finished speaking and leisurely asked, "Has the king remembered all that I have said?"

"I will remember your teachings, senior," Xu Tianxi replied earnestly.

Giving birth isn't a big deal, though. The Mountain Dragon King Martial Soul is the best of the best. Apart from the Divine Realm Prison Gold and the Silver Dragon Fish, no other Martial Soul can suppress it. "Alright, let's begin. Prepare to endure the pain. You've got a great deal today. Remember to thank your sister properly, and don't you dare bully her again."

The Mountain Dragon King's consciousness withdrew from the Sea of ​​Spirit.

Outside, the Dragon King's spirit gazed upon his own remains. The enormous dragon skeleton, over a thousand meters tall, suddenly erupted with earth-shattering commotion. Each bone seemed to come alive, and liquid seemed to flow within the mountain-like ridges, releasing a beam of light that shot into the sky.

Xu Tianxi opened his eyes and was immediately startled by the strange phenomenon of the Mountain Dragon King's corpse. Starting from the four leg bones that were like pillars supporting the sky, brownish-red halos gathered and bloomed, forming round scales that protruded outward like cut spheres, gradually covering the entire body of the Mountain Dragon King.

The heavy aura spread outwards, and the gravity on the ground within a radius of several thousand meters or even tens of thousands of meters suddenly increased exponentially. The sudden pressure made Xu Tianxi and the other two tremble as they stepped.

Gradually, the endless halo of light that soared into the sky converged into a brownish-red sphere. Under the watchful gaze of the Mountain Dragon King's soul, it was suddenly thrown towards Xu Tianxi, and almost instantly flew to Xu Tianxi's front.

Before he could react, the brownish-red sphere flew into his body.

In an instant, Xu Tianxi felt as if a giant hand had torn his chest apart and forced a heavy, unimaginable object into it, and his vision went black.

However, his willpower was strong, and he did not faint easily. Instead, he forced himself to calm down and feel the terrifying energy surging from his heart through his internal organs, spreading from his blood vessels to his meridians and limbs.

The Xuanwu, Zihuang Mietianlong, and the Moon Bloodline, which had already merged into one, encountered an intruder. They united in their hatred and tried to drive the enemy away, but the Mountain Dragon King's overwhelming power gave them no chance to resist and forcibly remained in Xu Tianxi's body.

In an instant, Xu Tianxi felt as if his body was being torn apart and reassembled, with every bone in his body undergoing a process of being broken and reshaped, and every meridian enduring the pain of being torn apart and expanded.

To outsiders, both humans and dragons, Xu Tianxi's body rapidly expanded, then with a "bang," it exploded into a bloody mist. Apart from his internal organs and bones, almost no flesh and blood remained intact.

The brownish-red bloodline of the Mountain Dragon King forcefully invaded his bones and blood, bringing immeasurable terrifying power, but also creating an equally terrifying burden.

However, in the next moment, streams of azure life energy surged from between Xu Tianxi's eyebrows, and a rich life aura also emanated from the blood mist, undergoing the restoration and reorganization of flesh and blood under the stimulation of the Mountain Dragon King's bloodline.

Thus, Xu Tianxi's body began a process of breaking down and rebuilding, repeating itself endlessly.

Electrolux once said that Xu Tianxi, who had fused with the Gold of Life, would have an incredibly difficult time dying unless his brain was destroyed. But now, as Xu Tianxi was experiencing excruciating pain, he felt that this might not necessarily be a good thing...

Even Tang Wulin, ten thousand years later, wouldn't have been this ruthless in absorbing the Golden Dragon King's bloodline! Was the Mountain Dragon King too weak to set up a seal, or what? This is a direct death sentence!

In Dragon Valley, the Mountain Dragon King's soul stared at Xu Tianxi with astonishment, exclaiming, "I thought he would collapse in no time, but I didn't expect this kid's willpower to be so amazing. It seems he has experienced life-or-death crises more than once, and his flesh and blood can be restored even after being torn apart three times..."

Gu Zhaoqiu was horrified and couldn't bear it, saying, "Mountain Dragon King, aren't you going too far? How can a human like him easily accept your bloodline? Can't you take it one step at a time?"

The dragon spirit of the Light Dragon King agreed and added, "Yes, why did you act so ruthlessly? There's no need to rush the inheritance of bloodlines."

The Mountain Dragon King, who was already surprised, changed his expression upon hearing this and gave an awkward laugh: "When I was talking to this little guy just now, I noticed that he looked strange when he heard that inheriting my bloodline would cause pain. I thought he was afraid, but now it seems that I may have misunderstood..."

Gu Zhaoqiu suddenly looked up, both angry and speechless, her eyes flashing with rage: "He's a madman who's completely reckless in his pursuit of cultivation, always complaining that he doesn't have enough opportunities to risk his life. Do you think he's a coward who's afraid of death?"

The Mountain Dragon King grunted, scratched his head with one paw, and said in a low voice, "I haven't communicated with anyone for many years, and my brain is all muddled. I made a mistake, I made a mistake, I'm sorry."

"I was worried he wouldn't be able to handle it, so I deliberately went all out, thinking I'd push his willpower to its limit in an instant and make him faint; now it's not so easy. His mental fortitude is stronger than I expected, and he possesses immense vitality within him; even if his physical body collapses, it can be rebuilt. This..."

"It's not good for me to stop now. It's best to wait until he stops insisting on it before I can control the power of his bloodline to stop the fusion. Otherwise, it might damage his mental will."

"That Mountain Dragon King has really done your successor a disservice this time. For a Dragon King to act so recklessly is truly laughable." The Snow Emperor walked over gracefully, looking at Xu Tianxi, whose physical body had collapsed and reassembled for the fifth time, with a hint of heartache, and gave the Mountain Dragon King a cold glare.

“Yes, couldn’t you ask more clearly?” Gu Zhaoqiu completely agreed with Xue Di’s opinion, her cheeks puffed out, and she glared angrily at the Mountain Dragon King.

The Light Dragon King looked at the Mountain Dragon King with speechless disbelief. This old man was still so brainless after all these years.

"Don't look at me like that. Actually, I do have a way to make amends."

Feeling uneasy under the gaze, the Mountain Dragon King sent a piece of transparent bone flying out of his corpse. It flew towards Xu Tianxi with lightning speed, and then entered his body along with the dragon soul energy.

Xu Tianxi, whose physical body had collapsed and reassembled seven times, suddenly felt an indescribable sense of solidity that filled him with power, and his mind immediately relaxed.

Having breathed his last, Xu Tianxi stopped insisting, his mind and consciousness sank into darkness, and his blood-red body finally stopped swelling and exploding.

The Mountain Dragon King breathed a sigh of relief, his tone becoming more relaxed: "Look, you've all seen it. I even gave him my own soul bone. Sealing my bloodline within the soul bone is the safest and most secure method."

"And his seven transformations of flesh and blood weren't entirely without benefit; once he awakens, he will be virtually impossible for an ordinary person to kill..."

"When will he wake up?" Xue Di asked anxiously.

"This... I don't know for now... perhaps in a few months?" The Mountain Dragon King felt an urge to dig a hole and bury himself, utterly ashamed.
