Douluo: Dragon King Huo Yuhao Lives Ten Thousand Years Later

Chapter 232 Fire Dragon King Jialin (4,000)

The Heavenly Flame Pestle is the divine weapon of the first-level god, the God of Fire. Among the seven elemental gods, the God of Fire's destructive power is undoubtedly among the top, which shows the power of the Heavenly Flame Pestle.

During the Dragon God War, a divine war broke out between the human gods and the dragon gods. This artifact fell into the hands of the dragons at that time and was eventually lost in Dragon Valley.

Originally, this artifact was supposed to be discovered by the people of Tianlong Star when Dragon Valley moved there in the future, but since Huo Yuhao knew of its existence, he naturally wouldn't let it go.

After all, in terms of compatibility, this artifact is extremely compatible with him. Now that he has achieved the unity of ice and fire, fire is one of the best elements he has mastered.

However, this artifact is different from the Dragon God's Soul and Heart. Those two things are the masters of ordinary dragon souls, derivatives of the Dragon God. Whenever a dragon soul senses the pressure of these two things, its deepest memories will involve their locations. It will only take a little time to find them.

But the Heavenly Burning Pestle is different. In the eyes of the dragon souls, that thing is worthless and has nothing to do with their dragon race. Unless a dragon soul has come into close contact with it, finding a needle in a haystack in Dragon Valley is no easy task.

After searching Dragon Valley for ten days, the two found no clues about the Heavenly Burning Pestle. Fortunately, they found quite a few dragon clouds, dragon bones, and dragon souls along the way, so it wasn't a complete loss.

The dragon cloud and dragon soul were absorbed by them, becoming part of their own foundation, while the dragon bones were casually buried. With their strength, digging a hole and placing the dragon bones in it was just a matter of a thought.

But this couldn't go on forever. Just as Gu Yuena was about to suggest that Huo Yuhao temporarily give up on this goal and find another one, Huo Yuhao suddenly stopped on the road, and a black-level mecha suddenly appeared beside him.

Gu Yuena looked at this scene with a puzzled expression. "Yuhao, did you discover something with your mecha?"

Not long after Huo Yuhao entered, he released the black-level mecha he had developed.

This black-level mech is equipped with an advanced energy detection soul tool, which can help them find high-energy targets.

However, unless there are special circumstances, the energy of a divine artifact like the Heavenly Burning Pestle should be contained, and it is probably not much different from those dragon bones that have their own power. Therefore, the energy detection soul tool has not yielded any results so far.

Why is Yuhao summoning the Black-level mecha now?
"The life detection device suddenly reacted," Huo Yuhao replied with interest. "And the distance wasn't far."

Mechs and ships are generally equipped with life detection devices, since detecting signs of life is an important means of ensuring safety in the vast ocean or unknown territories.

But in this silent Dragon Valley, the life detection device suddenly reacted, which was clearly very unusual.

"Life signs?"

Gu Yuena frowned slightly, her gaze sweeping around. Dragon Valley was the burial ground of dragons; aside from the remnants of dragon souls, there shouldn't be any living creatures there.

Huo Yuhao piloted the mecha, projecting the detection data into the air. On the virtual screen, a faint but stable life signal was coming from a distance, about three kilometers away.

Seeing this, Gu Yuena was somewhat surprised.

The life detection device has a detection range of ten kilometers, but it only reacted at such close range, which is not right.

Gu Yuena pondered, "Did those evil soul masters send people in again?"

They learned a lot of information from the evil soul master and the evil eye tyrant: the evil soul master would send people into Dragon Valley every once in a while to develop its resources.

If they were the ones who came in, that would explain the current situation.

But Huo Yuhao shook his head, "The vital signs are very weak, like an unborn child."

Gu Yuena was taken aback, exchanged a glance with him, and an unbelievable thought arose in her mind.

"Could it be... a dragon egg?"

Huo Yuhao smiled without saying a word; he already knew what it was. Without uttering a word, he immediately piloted his mecha toward the direction of the life signal. Gu Yuena followed closely behind, her long silver hair fluttering in the wind, her purple eyes sparkling with anticipation and nervousness.

If there are indeed dragon eggs left behind, it means that the bloodline of the dragon race has not been broken!

As the distance decreased, the life detection device reacted more and more strongly, but strangely, the surrounding environment became increasingly desolate, and even the dragon soul's low hum disappeared, as if this area was isolated by some kind of force.

Finally, they arrived at a rock wall surrounded by enormous dragon bones. Below the rock wall, there was a narrow crack, from which the life signal was emanating.

……

dark.

Eternal darkness.

She didn't know how long she had been asleep; perhaps ten thousand years, perhaps a hundred thousand years.

Over the long years, she could only vaguely sense the presence of the outside world—the wandering dragon souls, the lingering dragon might, and... the skeleton that had always protected her.

Those were my mother's remains.

She was conceived by her mother in the age when dragons fell. Even after her mother died, her remains protected her with the last of the dragon's power, allowing her to survive in the dragon egg.

But she was too weak.

Her mother had passed away, and her remains were gradually losing their strength, leaving her only able to fall into a deeper and longer sleep.

Occasionally, she would dream.

In her dream, she saw dragons soaring through the sky, dragon gods ruling over all realms, and the glorious dragon civilization... But in an instant, everything turned into a battlefield of blood and fire, the dragons fell, and the heavens and earth wailed.

She wanted to wake up, to hatch, to see the world with her own eyes...

But each attempt only made her weaker.

So she could only continue to sleep, waiting for an opportunity that might never come.

Until... today.

Two unfamiliar presences suddenly entered this silent place.

She suddenly awoke—no, not fully awakened, but her almost stagnant life force trembled violently for the first time!
Someone...is approaching? Who is it?
She wanted to explore the outside world, but the eggshell prevented her from doing so; she could only vaguely sense the two auras—

A beam of light, as pure as the bright moonlight, both cool and boundless, emanated an aura similar to that of the Dragon God, causing her bloodline to tremble instinctively. It must be understood that she was a pure descendant of the Fire Dragon King, her bloodline inherited from a God-King level Fire Dragon King. No dragon bloodline other than that of the Dragon God could suppress her.

This aura... could it be His Highness the Silver Dragon King?
However, what puzzled her even more was another aura. She could actually sense a bloodline aura from it and couldn't help but want to get closer.

How can there still be pure Fire Dragon King bloodlines in this era? And... one's own people?

Although she hadn't hatched, the memories of the dragon race and Dragon Valley were already imprinted deep within her soul. She was similar to Gu Yuena, who was born first, only lacking sufficient experience. She knew that the dragon race had long since perished, and apart from the remaining halves of those two dragon gods, she might be the last dragon.

But what's going on here? Is he here to see her?
She wanted to break free of the eggshell, to see them with her own eyes, to call out... but she was too weak to make a sound. (Don't go...)
(Please...find me...)
Perhaps her prayers had worked, for the two auras drew ever closer to her, and excited voices reached her ears.

"Yuhao has the aura of the Fire Dragon King's bloodline. It is a descendant of the Fire Dragon King's lineage, and it is still alive!"

Huo Yuhao looked at Gu Yuena, whose face was beaming with joy, and a gentle smile appeared on his lips.

Since entering Dragon Valley, Gu Yuena had been in low spirits, but finding the surviving dragons had clearly cheered her up considerably.

"It lacks life energy and some strength to hatch now, leave it to me."

Huo Yuhao turned his gaze to the dragon egg, slowly raised his right hand, and a ball of life energy from the Gold of Life appeared in his palm, which he then injected into the dragon egg.

"Together we will."

Gu Yuena shook her head, and the power of creation was sent into the dragon egg.

Huo Yuhao watched as the light gradually shone brilliantly under the nourishment of the dual energies, and his eyes deepened.

Dragon Valley, the lineage of the Fire Dragon King, and Dragon Eggs.

These characteristics clearly conveyed some information to him, indicating that this dragon egg was one of his goals in coming to Dragon Valley.

The sole inheritor of the Fire Dragon King lineage, Fire Dragon King Jialin!
She is a true dragon whose potential rivals that of Di Tian!
As originally planned, the Dragon Valley plane would stay on Douluo Star for a period of time. After discovering that there was no soil for dragons to grow there, it would move to Tianlong Star to release its dragon power and transform the races there into dragons.

Jialin was also given the opportunity to be born, but she was soon discovered by the people of Tianlong Star. Still weak, she had no choice but to join Tianlong Star and reach some agreements with Zhang Chujia, who discovered her.

Afterwards, her bloodline was coveted, and Zhang Chujia extracted a portion of it and incorporated it into her own body and that of her descendants, granting her the power of the Crimson Gold Profound Flame. However, Zhang Chujia discovered that she and her descendants still had not obtained the power of immortality, so she forced her to marry her own child, becoming her son's wife and mount...

Under these circumstances, it is clearly impossible to expect Jialin to fully utilize her talents.

Even so, she still reached the peak of the super god level ten thousand years later, which is the peak of the first-level god without godhood, and at that time she obviously had not exhausted her potential.

Therefore, this is a potential candidate who could become a half-step God-King, or even achieve the status of a God-King.

If he and Gu Yuena were enemies, then needless to say, he wouldn't care about Jialin. But under the current circumstances, letting her sleep in Dragon Valley would be a loss for them.

With the help of Huo Yuhao and Gu Yuena, the creature inside the dragon egg gained the power to hatch, and the cracks on the egg's surface multiplied. A dazzling light burst forth from the cracks, accompanied by a crisp sound of the egg breaking open.

"It's about to be born."

The two of them held their breath, watching the birth of this new life. As the last piece of eggshell fell away, a tiny, white figure was finally fully revealed before them.

Huo Yuhao raised an eyebrow in surprise.

Unexpectedly, what hatched was not a baby dragon, but a little girl of about five or six years old. She was curled up in the broken eggshell, her long hair hanging down like flames, with sparks still dancing at the ends.

It can transform into human form right after birth... no wonder it is a descendant of the God King.

However, Huo Yuhao wasn't too surprised.

Based on his observation, the dragon egg at its peak energy level should have been at the level of a 100,000-year-old soul beast. From this perspective, it's possible to consider this girl as a 100,000-year-old soul beast undergoing a transformation and retraining...

After the little girl adjusted to her body, she stood up. Seeing this, Gu Yuena lightly tapped her finger, and the surrounding eggshells instantly turned into streams of light that flowed into the girl's body, forming a delicate crimson dress for her.

She stood barefoot on the ground, her small toes slightly curled, as if she was not yet used to human form.

But she still stubbornly raised her head to look at Gu Yuena, her golden vertical pupils filled with awe and longing.

"I am Jialin, a descendant of the Fire Dragon King. Your Highness, Silver Dragon King, thank you for saving me..."

Listening to the little girl's clear and articulate words, Gu Yuena realized that the girl had inherited a great deal of knowledge. A hint of satisfaction flashed in her eyes, and she smiled and responded to her with a few words.

After receiving a response, Jialin then turned her gaze to Huo Yuhao, a hesitant look on her face. "Thank you. Are you also a member of our clan?"

While inside, her senses weren't very clear, but now that she's out, she's discovered that Huo Yuhao's aura seems to be related to both the Water and Fire Dragon Kings, and even very similar to the Silver Dragon King's aura, which has left her somewhat confused.

"No."

Huo Yuhao shook his head, summoned the Fire Dragon King's soul to his side, and squatted down to be at eye level with Jia Lin:
“My name is Huo Yuhao, and I am not a pure-blooded dragon like you.”

Suddenly, a cluster of icy blue flames and a cluster of golden flames flickered at his fingertips, summoning the Fire Dragon King's soul closer. "But I did receive a gift from the lineage of the Water and Fire Dragon Kings."

"Just treat Yuhao as an elder."

Seeing that Jia Lin still looked puzzled, Gu Yuena added, "Seeing him is like seeing me, understand?"

Jialin blinked her big golden eyes, a thoughtful expression on her face. She carefully examined Huo Yuhao, then looked at Gu Yuena, and nodded solemnly.

“I understand, Your Highness Silver Dragon King. I will serve both of you well.”

Gu Yuena smiled with satisfaction. Just then, Jialin's stomach suddenly rumbled.

She blushed instantly and hurriedly covered her stomach with her small hands.

Hatching took too much energy, and she is now lacking energy.

In other words, she was very hungry...

Huo Yuhao couldn't help but chuckle, and took out some snacks. "Hungry? Want some?"

Jialin's eyes lit up instantly, staring at the pastries in Huo Yuhao's hand like a little glutton. After seeing Huo Yuhao's gentle gaze, she grabbed a pastry and stuffed it into her mouth, her eyes instantly narrowing into slits with happiness.

Gu Yuena stood aside, watching Jialin eat her snacks while tentatively snuggling into Huo Yuhao's arms, her little head resting dependently on his arm. A feeling she couldn't quite describe welled up in her heart.

Those pastries...were they hers?
Looking at the girl in his arms, Huo Yuhao understood that this little one, who had just come into the world, still instinctively regarded him, who possessed the aura of the Fire Dragon King, as her closest relative.

Although he inherited the memories of the dragon race and seems like a little adult, he is still a child at heart.

This reminded Huo Yuhao of someone, and he looked at Gu Yuena with a smile, "Na'er, doesn't she look a lot like you in the past?"
