Peerless Douluo: Blood of the Black King Nidhogg!

Chapter 134 Dragon Knight (Three chapters combined, 6K long chapter!)
The core area of ​​the Starry Sky Forest, below the Lake of Life.

Since the day when ten thousand dragons were crowned, the area beneath the Lake of Life has been transformed by Mo Yuan into the prosperous scene of the dragon race's golden age, and all the ferocious beasts have moved into the capital city standing atop the mountains.

In the inner palace deep within the capital city, in the royal palace that belonged exclusively to the Black Emperor and the White Priest, the Silver Dragon King sat leaning against the ice bed that had once been hers, quietly watching Mo Yuan lying on the ice bed with his eyes closed.

Gazing at that flawless face, seemingly sculpted by a god himself, a strange light flickered in the Silver Dragon King's mysterious purple eyes.

Since the "Two Kings Living Together" a few days ago, Mo Yuan has been asleep until now. It was at that time that she was surprised to find that the arrogant and domineering dragon prince was actually just a boy.

Looking at the sleeping Mo Yuan, the Silver Dragon King couldn't help but recall Mo Yuan in his dragon form. Not only was Mo Yuan influenced by the dragon blood, but the Silver Dragon King was also quite beautiful.

As dragons are considered by humans to be as perfect as gods, it goes without saying that they are even more so in the eyes of the Douluo Dragon Clan.

Whether in his dragon form or in his normal state, Mo Yuan possessed the most perfect body in the world for Di Tian, ​​Zi Ji, and even the Silver Dragon King, and was also the most alluring drug of desire.

The Silver Dragon King unconsciously swallowed, and then her delicate hand reached out towards Mo Yuan's cheek without her even realizing it.

However, just as her hand was about to touch Mo Yuan's face, Mo Yuan's eyelids twitched and he opened his eyes and woke up.

The moment Mo Yuan woke up, he noticed the outstretched hand on his face. His childhood habit of alertness made him instinctively reach out and grab it, then the owner of the hand pressed it down on his body.

"What are you doing! Let me go! I'm warning you, even though I agreed to be the White King, don't even think about doing anything outrageous to me so soon!"

After being pinned down by Mo Yuan, the Silver Dragon King finally snapped out of her unconscious state. Seeing that Mo Yuan was riding on top of her, her beautiful face flushed red, and she shyly scolded him.

Upon hearing this, Mo Yuan finally reacted. Looking at the Silver Dragon King struggling beneath him, his gaze gradually turned strange, and a playful smile appeared on his face. Then, a name surfaced in his mind.

—Dragon Knight.

Mo Yuan didn't immediately release the Silver Dragon King, but instead asked with a playful smile,

"Don't think about doing anything to you so soon? What, are you saying we can't rush things, but we can wait a little longer?"

The Silver Dragon King then realized she had misspoke and was immediately filled with shame and indignation. Her blush deepened, and she turned to glare fiercely at Mo Yuan, gritting her teeth as she said, "Nonsense! Let me go right now!"

"Good good."

Seeing that the Silver Dragon King was getting a little angry, Mo Yuan laughed a few times before letting go of her and releasing her from under him.

"Humph!"

After breaking free, the Silver Dragon King glared at Mo Yuan again, then immediately straightened her slightly disheveled clothes. Even though she took several deep breaths to try to calm her chaotic thoughts, the blush on her face was still very obvious.

After a pleasant little interlude, Mo Yuan didn't dwell on it too much. He immediately sat cross-legged on the ice bed to sense his current physical condition. However, considering his current state with the Silver Dragon King, he had a strange feeling that he was putting on his pants and not recognizing anyone.

Aside from some minor injury to his left arm, his body has basically fully recovered. His soul power hasn't increased much, but his understanding of Word of Power and alchemy has become increasingly profound, especially alchemy. Even though Nidhogg's power has been withdrawn, a lot of alchemical knowledge still remains in his mind. Even if he can't understand it now, the benefits it will bring in the future will undoubtedly be enormous...

Mo Yuan thought to himself, although the immense power Nidhogg had taken over his body and nearly caused it to collapse, the benefits it brought were well worth the price.

The most important thing is the understanding of alchemy. As the saying goes, seeing it a thousand times is not as good as doing it once. After personally demonstrating the highest level of alchemy in the Seven Kingdoms, the improvement in alchemy was terrifying.

It's no exaggeration to say that, in terms of his understanding of alchemy alone, he can now far surpass his self from just a few days ago.

"Finished the checkup? Is there anything seriously wrong with your health? Let me make this clear, I'm not just concerned about you, I'm just worried that if something happens to you, it could jeopardize the fate of the Soul Beast race."

The Silver Dragon King, whose complexion had returned to normal, saw Mo Yuan open his eyes again, gave a soft hum, and then asked.

Mo Yuan found it a bit funny; he hadn't realized that this seemingly old, single man was actually such a proud and aloof woman.

"There's basically no problem, and you'll be fully recovered in a few days."

"Alright, so what are you planning to do now? I heard from Di Tian that your identity in the human world is a student of Shrek Academy. Now that you've been here for so long, won't there be any problems over there?"

Mo Yuan thought for a moment and then said, "It should be fine. I've already explained everything to Elder Yi. Once we get back to the academy, we should find a reasonable opportunity to leave. Unless Elder Mu personally tracks us down, no one will discover Elder Yi's whereabouts."

"Elder Yi?" the Silver Dragon King asked curiously, "Is that the person who disguised himself as you?"

“That’s right.” Mo Yuan didn’t say much more about Elder Yi. After tidying his clothes, he walked out of the palace, saying to the Silver Dragon King who had followed him, “That’s right.”

"Do me a favor and summon all the ferocious beasts to the main hall. I have some instructions for them."

Although the Silver Dragon King was curious about what Mo Yuan wanted to say, he still fulfilled his duty as the White King and ordered Di Tian and the others to rush to the palace immediately.

When the palace gates were pushed open and Di Tian led all the ferocious beasts into the main hall, they saw Mo Yuan and the Silver Dragon King already seated on two high-backed thrones made of black gold and silver respectively deep inside the hall.

"Di Tian (Zi Ji) greets Your Majesty, my Lord."

Upon arriving at the center of the main hall, Di Tian and Zi Ji knelt down on one knee before Mo Yuan and the Silver Dragon King without hesitation, their tone extremely respectful.

Even though Nidhogg's power has been withdrawn and Mo Yuan's strength has fallen to an ordinary level, Di Tian and Zi Ji's loyalty remains unwavering, just like a true subject.

The reason why Xiong Jun and the Demon King and other ferocious beasts were a step behind was for this reason. However, when Mo Yuan's gaze swept over them, they suddenly woke up and immediately knelt down on the ground with Di Tian.

The scene of Di Tian being brutally beaten and the crowning of ten thousand dragons a few days ago is still vivid in everyone's mind, constantly reminding these ferocious beasts that the one sitting on the black and gold throne is not an ordinary human, but the master of soul beasts, the Black Emperor.

Di Tian, ​​as the leader, raised his head and asked, "I wonder what business Your Majesty and the Lord have summoned us here for?"

The Silver Dragon King turned to look at Mo Yuan, clearly curious about what Mo Yuan wanted to do immediately after waking up.

Mo Yuan tapped his fingers lightly on the armrest of the black and gold throne, and after giving a majestic look to the ferocious beasts that were notorious in the human world, he slowly spoke.

"Don't be so formal. It's not a big deal that I invited you here. I just wanted to ask if you, given your age and status, must possess quite a few high-quality soul bones, right?"

Hmm? Soul bone?

The seven ferocious beasts were taken aback by what Mo Yuan said, wondering why he was asking this. After all, soul bones are treasures to humans, but to these ferocious beasts, they are basically useless except for their commemorative value.

After a brief moment of surprise, Di Tian immediately replied, "Your Majesty, I rarely pay attention to matters of soul bones. I don't have many soul bones in my possession. The oldest soul bone I have is 270,000 years old and comes from a hate dragon with both dark and evil attributes."

As he spoke, he took out a piece of his right arm bone, which was completely black, shaped like scales, and exuded an aura of darkness and evil.

Zi Ji followed closely behind, "Your Majesty, my situation is similar to that of Di Tian. The best soul bone I have is 190,000 years old and comes from a Fiery Crimson Eagle with fire attributes."

She then took out the soul bone as well. The other ferocious beasts were in similar condition, with most of them being over 150,000 years old, though of different species.

Apart from Di Tian and Zi Ji, who had few clansmen and therefore possessed soul bones from other clans, the other ferocious beasts offered high-age soul bones left behind by their own clansmen.

Mo Yuan had anticipated this outcome. After all, they were all soul beasts, and soul bones were of little use to them. Moreover, from another perspective, who would value the remains of their own kind so much?
From a human perspective, this isn't just illogical; it's downright bizarre.

Mo Yuan asked this for two reasons. First, soul bones are hard to find, but this is only from a human perspective. For these ferocious beasts that rule the entire Star Dou Great Forest, even if we don't mention other soul beasts, and even if the drop rate of soul bones is very low, the number of soul bones accumulated by their own people over the years is enormous.

Now that he's the Black Emperor of the Soul Beast Clan, getting what he wants is a piece of cake. Even if he doesn't buy it, it would be nice to keep it for his close friends and family.

Secondly, as his strength increased, the quality of his two swords, Hanyue and Xintinghou, was no longer keeping up with his combat intensity, so it was time to use some high-quality soul bones to reforge them into better swords.

"Bear, it's your turn."

Mo Yuan pointed to Xiong Jun, whose true form was a dark gold dinosaur claw bear, as he was most looking forward to the matter of the soul bone.

After all, who in the world doesn't know that the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear's soul bone is unparalleled in the world, especially its external soul bone, whose power has left a significant mark on the Douluo series.

Even Xiong Jun, a fearless and headstrong man who dared to defy Di Tian, ​​couldn't help but feel a little nervous at Mo Yuan's pointing finger. He scratched his head and said cautiously,

"Your Majesty, as you know, our Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear clan is powerful but has few members. It is rare for our clan's soul bones to be found. I have thought about it carefully and only remember that there is one 100,000-year-old right palm bone that is worth mentioning."

As he spoke, he took out a strangely shaped, dark gold bone. The bone was shaped like a human hand, but five long, narrow blades appeared at the front end, like a miniature version of the claws of the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear.

A dark golden halo flowed across the blade like ripples on water, its sharpness fully revealed, as if it could tear apart the surrounding space.

Mo Yuan raised an eyebrow slightly, finding it somewhat amusing.

It's true that a well-fed man doesn't know the hunger of a starving man. Can you translate what "100,000-year-old dark gold dinosaur claw bear right palm bone" means?
Do you even understand the value of the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear's external soul bone?
Let alone 100,000 years, even 10,000 or 5,000 years would cause major powers to fight tooth and nail over it once it spread to the human world.

Moreover, the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear's most formidable feature is its pair of claws, whose sharpness is among the best on the continent, making them perfect for forging alchemical knives.

"Alright, all of you, bring up your soul bones. I have a use for them. Also, send your men out to search for all the traces of 100,000-year-old soul beasts."

"Yes! Your Majesty."

All the ferocious beasts accepted the order, handed over their respective soul bones to Mo Yuan, and then turned and walked out of the main hall, preparing to instruct their respective clansmen to search for the whereabouts of other 100,000-year-old soul beasts in the Star Dou Great Forest.

After examining the pile of soul bones in his hand, Mo Yuan first put all the soul bones except for the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear into his soul tool.

The Silver Dragon King then leaned over curiously and asked, "Mo Yuan, what do you need these soul bones for? For someone of your status, these soul bones seem unworthy of you, don't they?"

“I never said I wanted to fuse with this soul bone.” Mo Yuan stood up, stepped down from the throne, and walked straight out of the hall. “Come with me for a walk.”

"Go out? What are you going out for?" The Silver Dragon King asked, but he still followed.

"You'll find out later."

As Mo Yuan stepped out of the palace, he immediately noticed a gaze upon him. Following his senses, he saw a fluffy little head peeking out from behind a bronze pillar.

The auspicious beast, the three-eyed golden lion.

Seeing that Mo Yuan had discovered her, the auspicious beast immediately hid behind the bronze pillar and ran away, shouting in a low voice as she ran: "You didn't see me, you didn't see me..." For the past few days, she had been avoiding the palace, afraid of accidentally running into Mo Yuan. But just now, when she saw that Di Tian and the others had gone to the palace, she immediately guessed that Mo Yuan had woken up.

Logically, she should be as far away as possible, but for some inexplicable reason, she hid outside the palace again, wanting to see Mo Yuan.

"Stop, come back."

Mo Yuan found this somewhat amusing, then feigned authority and ordered the auspicious beast to return.

The auspicious beast stiffened, its little face contorted in misery. After cursing itself for being crazy, it turned and walked dejectedly toward Mo Yuan.

Mo Yuan smiled kindly and asked, "Little auspicious beast, why are you running away? Are you afraid I'll eat you?"

"I didn't!" The auspicious beast shook her head violently and quickly denied it. Even though Mo Yuan had returned to normal, she still felt that Nidhogg was standing in front of him, mocking and teasing her fate at will.

"Alright, I'm not teasing you anymore. It just so happens that the Silver Dragon King and I are going out for a while. Why don't you come along?"

The mythical beast raised its head, its face full of astonishment, and pointed at itself with its paw, "Huh? Me?"

"What, you're unwilling?" Mo Yuan asked, feigning indifference.

The auspicious beast was startled by this and quickly nodded, "Yes, yes!"

The Silver Dragon King rolled his eyes speechlessly. Could it be that the Black Emperor, who was as majestic as a king just a few days ago, had now become a boy who liked to tease children?

However, although she felt the contrast was too great, she was not dissatisfied at all. On the contrary, she was a little happy. After all, compared to the dignified and unapproachable tyrant, the current Mo Yuan was undoubtedly more reassuring and approachable.

If Mo Yuan continues as before, she really needs to think carefully about whether she, the 'new White King,' will follow in the footsteps of the old White King.

Mo Yuan picked up the auspicious beast, who was filled with despair but still forced a smile. Upon seeing this, the Silver Dragon King waved her hand, and after an invisible spatial fluctuation, the three of them appeared outside the Lake of Life.

As soon as they reached the outside world, a dark figure suddenly darted in front of Mo Yuan. The Silver Dragon King instinctively wanted to make a move, but Mo Yuan stopped him with his hand.

He saw the Death Knight, whom he had sent out to collect protection money, kneeling before him, his black greatsword planted beside him, his hands holding four golden runes.

"Hmm? This aura... is it that little bug that escaped?" The Silver Dragon King frowned as he looked at the four golden lines and asked Mo Yuan.

"Yes."

Mo Yuan nodded, carefully putting away the four golden patterns equivalent to 100,000 years of spiritual essence and the Death Knight, while briefly explaining the matter of Tianmeng Ice Silkworm and Huo Yuhao to the Silver Dragon King.

After hearing about the story between the man and the insect, the Silver Dragon King found it amusing. Under normal circumstances, the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm might have actually succeeded, but unfortunately, there was a true supreme being in this era, so no matter how talented it was, it could only become a supporting character in the end.

The Silver Dragon King asked, "Oh, by the way, what exactly are you planning to do here this time? You can tell me now, right?"

Mo Yuan smiled and said in a low voice, "Of course, you help me search for the whereabouts of a Dark Demon Evil God Tiger that is about 50,000 years old. I have some 'good' to talk to about."

Good news? What good could come from being targeted by you?

The Silver Dragon King looked puzzled and muttered to herself, but she didn't ask any more questions. She simply closed her eyes for a second, then opened them again and pointed in a direction with her right hand.

Mo Yuan nodded upon seeing this and said, "The eastern outer area of ​​the Star Dou Great Forest... Alright, let's set off immediately without delay."

……

Meanwhile, in a dark and gloomy forest on the outer edge of the Starry Sky Forest, six figures flashed past and sped towards the outermost area.

With the help of the dim light cast from the tree canopy, the six figures could be seen to be four men and two women. The four men were all over thirty or forty years old, dressed in black tight-fitting clothes, with solemn expressions and various wounds of different sizes on their bodies, like guards protecting the two women in the middle.

The two girls looked to be quite young, around sixteen or seventeen years old. One of them had snow-white hair, an exceptionally beautiful face, and a cool yet slightly fragile demeanor.

The other girl was the complete opposite. She was also very beautiful, with a resolute expression and a heroic demeanor. Her long black hair was tied high in a ponytail, and her long legs were eye-catching.

If Mo Yuan were here, he would surely recognize the two girls as Princess Vina and Mu Xue of the Heavenly Soul Empire, whom he had met in Dragon City and the Misty Forest.

Just like last time in the Misty Forest, the two girls seem to be having a bad time this time as well.

Leading the way, Mo Yunfei, the most powerful guard on the surface, cleared the path while speaking as he did so.
"Your Highness, Miss, the boundary between the Star Dou Great Forest and the human world is not far ahead. Once we get there, we will be safe to land. Moreover, the beast behind us should have already left and is no longer chasing us."

"That's good, Master Mo."

Vina replied calmly, but the calmer she appeared, the more nervous she was inside.

After all, there are very few ordinary soul masters in this world who can escape unscathed after encountering a legendary soul beast like the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger.

That's right, the beast chasing them is a Dark Demon God Tiger, whose age is as high as 50,000 years.

If it were the previous version of the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger, she could not only hunt it down, but she could also leave safely with two Title Douluo guards.

Unfortunately, since Ye Xuan's rampage in Tiandou City and the Misty Forest, there has been a serious vacancy among the Title Douluo powerhouses in the Tianhun Empire.

Logically speaking, as a disciple of the Body Sect and the fiancée of the young sect master, she should be protected by a titled Douluo of the Body Sect. However, due to the recent incident involving Mo Yuan, they are unable to spare any manpower.

The only one with free time, Shark Arm Douluo, went to the Star Dou Great Forest early with his newly accepted disciple Huo Yuhao and has not returned yet.

Left with no other choice, she brought a Soul Douluo and a group of Soul Saints and Soul Emperors with her.

Now, that Contra has sacrificed himself to hold off the Dark Demon God Tiger, leaving only a few of the old, weak, sick, and disabled.

Thinking of this, Vina couldn't help but sigh quietly. Recalling the dangerous moments of the day, an image of a figure wearing a black trench coat, wielding two swords, and wearing a bronze mask involuntarily appeared in her mind.

If he were here right now, I certainly wouldn't be forced to flee like this, silently praying that I can escape alive...

Just as Vina was thinking this, Mo Yunfei, who was clearing the way ahead, suddenly stopped in his tracks, his eyes wide with horror.

Suddenly, a pair of huge crimson eyes appeared in the pitch-black darkness ahead. Then, as the darkness writhed, a tiger with black fur, a scorpion tail, and wings on its back slowly emerged from it with a mocking yet cruel smile.

Dark evil tiger.

"Damn it! This beast caught up so quickly! No, no, it must have caught up a long time ago and deliberately exposed itself just when we were about to escape!" Mo Yunfei said through gritted teeth, and what he said was indeed true.

The Dark Demon God Tiger enjoys toying with its prey, letting them die in despair. Clearly, the despair on Vina and Muxue's faces shows that its goal has been achieved.

Facing a Dark Demon Evil God Tiger equivalent to 100,000 years old, even if Mo Yunfei and the other guards risked their lives to stop it, the time they could buy might only allow the evil tiger to take a few more steps.

"Your Highness, Miss, let's go!"

Mo Yunfei shouted, and the other three guards, though terrified, stepped forward to protect Vina and Muxue behind them, determined to die to ensure their safety.

However, this touching scene only made the smile on the face of the Dark Demon God Tiger grow stronger, and the ferocity in his fierce scarlet tiger eyes became even more obvious.

Just as Vina and Muxue were about to turn and flee, a muffled clap of thunder suddenly came from the horizon. Everyone was startled, and everyone, including the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger, couldn't help but look up at the sky through the treetops.

Then a dark shadow appeared rapidly approaching from the horizon. At this moment, the sky was filled with white clouds that covered the heavens and the earth, but as the shadow arrived, it was instantly split in two and rolled upwards.

"That's... a person?"

"No, it's a dragon!"

"..."

Vina and her group became tense, wondering where the dragon-like shadowy figure was going and what its true identity was.

As a soul beast, the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger's ability to sense danger is far superior to that of humans. At this moment, it felt a chill run down its spine, arched its body, and the black fur on its back stood up in unison.

It had a bad feeling and wanted to turn around and escape as soon as possible, but the sight of Vina and the others made it thirsty and unable to resist. In the end, greed overcame fear.

It didn't leave; it was gambling that the newcomer wasn't coming for it.

Soon the dark figure arrived, and the wind brought by the wings of the End Dragon blew down all the trees like wheat, making it impossible for Vina and the others to open their eyes.

Even so, Vina and Muxue recognized the End Dragon, whom they had only met once before.

"This is... Ye Xuan's black dragon!" Vina exclaimed in surprise.

Upon hearing this, Mo Yunfei and the others were dumbfounded. What was going on? First there was the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger, and now there was the Evil Soul Master Ye Xuan?
This is an insult to the people of the Sun and Moon Empire!

The Final Demon Dragon hovered above the ground, its pressure equivalent to that of a level 98 Super Douluo sweeping across the heavens and earth, pinning everyone present, including the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger, to the spot, rendering them unable to move.

With a crisp footstep, two figures emerged from the back of the End Dragon. One of them wore a black cloak, a silver demon mask, and had silver hair that danced wildly in the wind. His eyes were as indifferent as ice, and he held a small beast with three eyes that resembled a lion in his arms.

Beside him was a silver-haired woman, but unfortunately, she was surrounded by a multicolored halo, making it impossible to see her exact features. However, even her faintly visible figure captivated everyone.

Dark Demon God Tiger and Vina's group lay prostrate on the ground, staring blankly at Ye Xuan and the mysterious woman standing atop the Dragon Head of the End Demon.

There was silence in the field.

Then they heard Ye Xuan speak softly, his tone indifferent.

"So that's where the naughty kitten was hiding."
