Wuhun Luo Sanpao? I am the Dragon Emperor!

Chapter 359 Ring Exchange! Reward Redemption! Bibi Dong Questions!
"Roar--"

The Black Nether Dragon raised its head and let out a deep roar. Its massive body began to shrink, and its jet-black scales receded like a tide.

In the blink of an eye, the colossal dragon that blotted out the sky had transformed back into its cub form, only its pair of crimson vertical pupils remained captivating.

Yu Xiaolie took a deep breath, and nine spirit rings appeared one after another.

When his gaze fell on the first spirit ring, his divine eyes were fixed.

Without the slightest hesitation, he reached out and headed directly for the spirit ring.

A crimson light emanated from Yu Xiaolie's fingertips, and he forcefully ripped his first soul ring from his body!
The moment the spirit ring left his body, his body trembled violently, and a trickle of blood spilled from the corner of his mouth.

The dragon cub let out a painful whimper, its tiny body arching like a shrimp.

The century-old soul ring spun wildly in the air, emitting a piercing buzz, as if resisting its fate of being abandoned.

But it only struggled in the air for a moment before dissipating into specks of light and completely disappearing into the air.

The Dark Ruins space began to tremble violently, and the surrounding black barrier twisted and deformed like a curtain being blown by a gale.

Almost simultaneously, Xiong Jun's 46-year-old red spirit ring seemed to be drawn down, swooping down with a whistling wind, and precisely fitting into the position of the dragon cub's first spirit ring.

Four golden lines were wrapped around the crimson halo, which was out of place with the dragon cub's original soul ring sequence, yet it exuded a domineering and heavy feeling.

The dragon cub's bones creaked, and its tiny claws gripped Yu Xiaolie's fingers tightly, causing even its roar to change tone in pain.

The tremors in the Dark Ruins space reached their peak, and spiderweb-like cracks began to appear on the surrounding black barrier.

After an unknown amount of time, on the other side, Bibi Dong had already completed the absorption of her spirit ring.

When she opened her eyes and looked at Yu Xiaolie, she was stunned to find that he was absorbing and fixing Xiong Jun's spirit ring in the position of the first spirit ring.

My fingernails dug deep into my palm, but I felt no pain at all.

As the Pope of the Spirit Hall, she had seen too many shocking scenes, but what she saw before her was still beyond her comprehension.

Forcibly replacing spirit rings? This is practically challenging the ironclad rules of the spirit master world!
Moreover, forcibly inserting a 46-year spirit ring into the first spirit ring position is tantamount to carving a grain of rice with a giant axe. The slightest carelessness could result in the rupture of meridians.

Clearly, Yu Xiaolie was enduring immense pain at this moment.

She saw that Yu Xiaolie's back was soaked with sweat, and his black robe clung to his skin, outlining his taut muscles.

His fingers dug deep into the ground, his knuckles turning white from the force, and the surrounding darkness seemed to bulge out.

"Hang in there..."

Bibi Dong muttered to herself unconsciously, completely forgetting her identity as the Pope. At this moment, she was just an ordinary woman who was heartbroken for her beloved.

Time seemed to stretch out countless times.

The fluctuations in the Dark Ruins space gradually subsided, and the distorted boundaries became smooth again.

As the last trace of repulsion disappeared, Yu Xiaolie slowly straightened up, and Bibi Dong realized that she had been holding her breath.

Nine spirit rings reappeared, and the first spirit ring, a scarlet one with four golden patterns, emitted a heart-palpitating aura.

"Success."

Because the Dragon Emperor's rank was too high, Yu Xiaolie could only obtain the Dragon Emperor's embryonic form when he awakened his martial soul.

The first soul ring's devouring skill meant choosing a path of stealthy development.

Through devouring, Yu Xiaolie gradually mastered various attributes.

Among the nine spirit rings of a spirit master, the first and seventh spirit rings are undoubtedly the most important.

However, ordinary Soul Masters have limited physical abilities when absorbing their first Soul Ring, and can only absorb a hundred-year Soul Ring.

Yu Xiaolie, by taking advantage of the ring-changing ability, has replaced his first soul ring with one that is 46 years old, which undoubtedly lays a solid foundation for the high-rise building of soul ring energy.

Only in this way can the dragon cub have a better foundation to awaken the form of the Dragon Emperor.

Sure enough, when the dragon cub opened its eyes again, its body had grown several sizes larger out of thin air. Most astonishingly, its eyes had developed a faint golden ring in their originally clear gaze.

The breath it exhaled was no longer as weak as the old pig's, but was filled with the heavy feeling of dragon's breath.

“This…” Bibi Dong’s voice trembled with disbelief.

She could clearly sense that the dragon cub's aura was several times stronger than before, and that dragon's might contained an indescribable "royal aura".

Yu Xiaolie didn't stop; he immediately exchanged for the rewards from the Asura God Trial, releasing his nine soul rings once more.

"Increase the lifespan of a single spirit ring by 5 years, exchange all of it for the seventh spirit ring!"

The remaining four sword-shaped marks on his wrist lit up simultaneously, transforming into four beams of red light that shot into the sky and merged into the 100,000-year-old red soul ring. The originally crimson soul ring suddenly swelled, and three golden patterns appeared on its surface, instantly rising from a 100,000-year soul ring to a 300,000-year-old one.

The upgrades to the first and seventh spirit rings made the dragon cub even more energetic.

Yu Xiaolie rubbed the dragon cub's head, a tired but satisfied smile appearing on his lips.

When he looked up, he met Bibi Dong's complicated gaze.

It seemed to take her a long time to recover from the shock.

Having witnessed the ring exchange firsthand and seen Yu Xiaolie's soul ring age increase by a full 20 years, how could she remain calm?

"Yu Xiaolie." He walked up to Yu Xiaolie, his voice trembling and tinged with self-mockery: "I used to think of you as a rival to catch up with, but now that I think about it, it's really laughable."

Her tone was filled with an unprecedented sense of defeat, and her usually arrogant purple eyes were now dull and lifeless.

As the youngest pope in the history of the Spirit Hall, she truly felt for the first time what it meant to be far behind.

Yu Xiaolie did not respond, but simply waved his hand and withdrew the Dark Ruins Space.

The sudden influx of outside light made Bibi Dong squint involuntarily.

After the dazzling light subsided, Yu Xiaolie walked towards Xiong Jun's already cold corpse. Eight sharp spider spears, gleaming with metallic luster, extended from his back and mercilessly pierced into the massive body, beginning to frantically devour the remaining energy.

We must replenish our soul power as soon as possible to face the challenges ahead. After all, getting something from the Silver Dragon King means facing several formidable enemies.

The pale golden energy flowed into his body through the Eight Spider Lances, and Xiong Jun's corpse shriveled up at a visible speed, while Yu Xiaolie's complexion gradually regained its rosy hue.

Bibi Dong was about to step forward and say something when she heard Yu Xiaolie coldly say:
"Bibi Dong, if you don't want to die, leave the Star Dou Great Forest quickly. You might not be able to withstand the energy ripples later."

These words were like a bucket of ice water poured over Bibi Dong's head.

Her steps faltered, and the vulnerability in her eyes was instantly replaced by anger: "Yu Xiaolie, why do you always avoid my feelings!"

Her voice trembled slightly with excitement, "Where exactly do I fall short of A-Yin? Compared to Tang Yuehua? In terms of strength, status, and sincerity towards you... in what way do I lose to them?"

Yu Xiaolie paused, then pulled the spider spear from the shriveled corpse.

He had never actually thought about that question.

Ah Yin's gentleness, Yue Hua's intellectual elegance, Shui Qing'er's lively spirit, and Qian Renxue's unwavering purity—every woman who entered his life possessed a unique charm.

And Bibi Dong...

The Pope of the Spirit Hall is a powerful figure who opposes him; she is beautiful yet dangerous.

He was used to being confrontational with her, but he never thought of attaching any "affection" to her.

"answer me!"

Bibi Dong stepped forward, her papal majesty vanished, and she stubbornly sought an answer like an ordinary girl.

Yu Xiaolie put away the spider spear: "I don't have time to answer your question."

His voice was calm, almost indifferent, "Go back. It's about to become very dangerous here."

The dragon cub regained its energy and transformed into the Black Nether Dragon once more.

It raised its head and let out a deafening dragon roar. Like a cat throwing a crater, its giant claws swung across the ground, and dirt flew to both sides like a waterfall. In a short while, it dug out a huge crater.

The Holy Dragon used its tail to precisely push the corpses of the Bear King and the 100,000-year-old Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear into the pit. With a flick of its tail, it swept in the surrounding soil, instantly creating a dark mound that completely buried the two enormous corpses.

It seems to have gotten used to burying the soul beast corpses when Ah Yin isn't around.

Of course, there are exceptions. For example, when hunting the Demon Orca King and the Deep Sea Demon Orca King at sea, their bodies are buried at sea.

When a whale falls, all things come to life. Their corpses are devoured by other sea creatures, which is the best way to give back natural energy.

The same goes for the Dark Demon God Tiger. Its corpse was already being targeted by three Thousand-Pound Ants, so why insist on burial?

As for the far north, where no plants can grow, the energy from the corpses of beasts like the Snow Emperor is best used by other soul beasts for nourishment.

Then, the Black Nether Dragon let out a long roar and took flight with Yu Xiaolie.

Bibi Dong watched the departing figure, her chest aching as if it were being torn apart.

She bit her lower lip tightly until she tasted blood before letting go.

She was unwilling to accept it, and she couldn't believe that she would lose to those women; a stubborn streak welled up in her heart.

The next second, she suddenly unleashed her martial spirit, and the phantom of the Death Spider Emperor appeared behind her, speeding away in the direction Yu Xiaolie had left.
