Douluo Continent: When Huo Yuhao Becomes the Lord of the End

Chapter 234 Dragon Valley, Dragon Tomb (4K)

Opening his eyes, he saw Gu Yuena and Di Tian waiting outside.

After adjusting his state, Huo Yuhao tried his best to maintain his peak strength and spoke.

"Let's do it."

As a small world attached to the Douluo Continent, Dragon Valley is another alternate dimension, but it is located in a spatial rift.

Spatial rifts, of course, have special channels that connect to different planes.

Huo Yuhao didn't want to take action, but with the active guidance of the Douluo plane, Gu Yuena didn't have to exert much effort to tear apart space with her power this time, and sealed the rift and the unequal time flow inside Dragon Valley with a spacetime array.

To avoid any accidents, Di Tian and other beasts were placed on the outside to stabilize and support the spatial passage.

To avoid the outside passage being discovered, thus causing unnecessary trouble.

"Let's go in."

Huo Yuhao took the lead, followed closely by Gu Yuena and Yu Qiu'er.

The passage can last for about a month, but this time is meaningless. Given the current affinity of the Douluo plane's will, even if it does exceed this time, the plane's will will guide us accordingly.

It's simply a matter of tearing open another passage from the Dragon Valley Small World. There's no need to worry about being drawn into other spatial rifts and falling into the universe or other planes.

The moment the three entered the spatial passage, the three pillars of light vanished. Apart from the three entrances that were constantly shrouded in nine-colored light, everything was as calm as if nothing had ever happened.

Dragon Valley.

The moment you enter, a vibrant scene of life and all things flourishing comes into view.

The three of them stood in the middle of a valley. The light spots shining through the cracks in the mountaintop were dazzling, and the warm stream at the bottom of the valley flowed over the mossy stone steps, forming a winding, emerald-green water corridor.

The mountaintop above us is a towering snow-capped peak, seemingly poised to suddenly plunge into a basin.

The surrounding space is filled with tyrannical energy, and golden dragon power mist floats in the air. This energy can be inhaled by low-level soul masters to temper their muscles and bones, but if in excess, it can also cause bloodline burning.

Huo Yuhao could still feel his soul power being suppressed, but it was very weak. If it were an ordinary weak soul master, they might not even be able to use their soul power after entering this place.

For non-dragon bloodline soul masters, this suppression would be even stronger.

"Yuhao, look at the sky."

Following the direction Yu Qiu'er pointed, one could see the sky filled with clouds of various colors: red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and violet. Each cloud was formed from special energy.

Because he had absorbed a portion of the bloodline of the Water and Fire Dragon Kings, Huo Yuhao actually felt a sense of familiarity with these clouds.

"Is this the dragon soul energy formed from the remains of dragons after they die?"

Yu Qiu'er asked in confusion, but Huo Yuhao shook his head.

"These are all the primordial energy of heaven and earth, so concentrated that they have taken shape with various elemental attributes. Of course, it wouldn't be wrong to call them a manifestation of the dragon soul."

These clouds and mists have no life, no consciousness, only instinct; you could say they are very safe.

With careful observation, one can even see the elemental molecules in the air, demonstrating just how concentrated the primordial energy of heaven and earth is here.

As soon as Huo Yuhao finished speaking, the clouds in the sky seemed to sense something and began to riot. The previously calm clouds and mist suddenly turned into countless points of light and began to surge towards the three of them.

The mist split into three parts, which entered Huo Yuhao's body, Gu Yuena's body, and Yu Qiu'er's body respectively.

These clouds, formed from the energy of dragons of various attributes, felt incredibly familiar to the three of them. Only after all the clouds in the sky dissipated did they feel a reassuring, fullness in their bodies.

"Each color of cloud represents a type of energy: water, fire, earth, wind, light, darkness, and space."

Gu Yuena absorbed some of the clouds and mist, but it was clear that they were of little use to her current strength.

Even if she absorbed all the spiritual energy of heaven and earth in the entire Dragon Valley, she guessed that it would have a negligible impact on her strength.

Therefore, she no longer intends to absorb the elemental energy of heaven and earth formed by various attributes. Instead, she plans to give it all to Yu Qiu'er and Huo Yuhao. Her target is the true remnant souls and remaining divine essences of the dragon race, which are what she needs.

"Roar!"

Just as the group absorbed the various elemental energies of heaven and earth, a roar came from not far away.

Two imposing soul beasts covered in golden scales charged toward the group. No, they weren't soul beasts, but rather another manifestation of the remnant souls of the dragon race.

"boom!"

There's not much to say. They were sent off in just two moves. One remnant soul was absorbed by Yu Qiu'er, and the other by Gu Yuena, but the improvement was still minimal.

Because Yu Qiu'er's attributes are ultimate light and ultimate fire, as well as the ultimate spiritual attribute she gained from the fusion of her fate with Huo Yuhao.

This dragon soul is simply of the metal element, so its enhancement is naturally average.

As for Gu Yuena, just as previously speculated, unless she is a remnant soul of a true dragon or a dragon king, she is of no use at all.

Unlike the clouds and mist in the sky, the dragon souls in the Dragon Valley Small World have mostly developed some consciousness and possess a certain degree of aggression over the years.

However, as long as it can be defeated, the energy belonging to the dragon soul will be integrated into the body, enhancing the absorber's physical attributes.

This is the outer perimeter of the Dragon Tomb, or rather, it's not even the outer perimeter. The Dragon Tomb is where most of the powerful dragon souls reside, and the remnants of true dragons and dragon kings exist there.

Neither Gu Yuena nor Yu Qiu'er felt anything was wrong with this. There was no real life in this world, and these dragon souls were just a form of energy manifestation.

The three of them did not rush to the true core area of ​​this world. Instead, they started from the outer perimeter, dividing the work among themselves. Huo Yuhao absorbed the clouds and mists of different attributes and continuously inscribed their elemental properties.

Yu Qiu'er dealt with the weaker dragon souls and then absorbed them to increase her own strength.

The whole process went very smoothly and quickly. Under the suppression of Gu Yuena's aura as the Silver Dragon King, the low-level dragon souls could be absorbed directly by Yu Qiu'er without even needing to be broken down or purified.

As Huo Yuhao progressed, he absorbed clouds of different attributes, and the attributes he inscribed became more and more numerous, constantly evolving towards the ultimate level.

The attributes of light, darkness, and wind were continuously inscribed by the Bell of the End. Huo Yuhao even abandoned the energy within these clouds and mist, converting it all into attribute power, allowing it to continuously move towards its ultimate potential.

And so, after spending about a week here, both Yu Qiu'er and Huo Yuhao reached a bottleneck in their strength. Huo Yuhao was level ninety, and through absorbing the clouds of different attributes, the newly acquired attributes of light and darkness were not far from their ultimate level, just a couple of steps away.

His physical strength has also been slightly improved, and his resistance to different attributes has increased, but with the [Breaking Ten Thousand Laws], he doesn't care.

Yu Qiu'er successfully became an 80th-level Soul Douluo. Although those dragon souls were weak, their sheer quantity allowed her Golden Dragon bloodline to advance further, becoming even stronger.

Having gained advantages on the periphery, the three were finally ready and headed towards the location of the Dragon Tomb.

As the three ventured deeper, the scenery became increasingly desolate.

After passing through a series of towering peaks, the clouds and mist dissipated, revealing a valley a thousand meters deep.

The valley was littered with wreckage of all sizes. At least a thousand dragons had perished here, their bodies left to rot in the wilderness, without even a proper grave.

As far as the eye could see, the remains of dragons were everywhere. The fossilized spine of the Mountain Dragon King, which was a thousand meters long, rose up like a mountain range. Broken claw bones were stuck diagonally into the ground. In the center, there was a hundred-meter-high dark gold dragon's breastbone, which was like a golden pillar of light piercing the sky and dyeing the space into an eternal twilight.

Scattered across the valley's surface are countless dark red dragon blood crystal veins, with crimson-gold liquid dragon power seeping from the cracks, converging into scorching energy rivers, all nourished by the blood of those fallen dragons.

Within the valley lies another valley, forming a unique pattern of a valley within a valley. The deepest valley seems to be an energy hub, constantly absorbing cosmic energy to form a siphon energy vortex that intertwines and reflects the crimson sunset in the twilight.

Upon entering this place, the three inevitably triggered the remnants of the dragon soul, and the pressure increased as they went deeper. Those who were not of dragon blood would find it extremely difficult to move forward. However, even if the three of them did not have dragon blood, their strength would not have much of an impact from this pressure.

Gu Yuena's expression turned gloomy. After seeing the true dragon skeletons of these dragons, she felt the sorrow and resentment conveyed by the lingering spirits of the dragons here, and boundless hatred welled up in her heart.

"Yuhao, why is Heaven so unfair? Why does it treat the dragon race like this?"

Hearing this, Yu Qiu'er didn't dare to speak, while Huo Yuhao remained calm, slowly walking to Gu Yuena's side and speaking gently.

"The reason why the dragon race has ended up like this is not because the heavens are jealous, nor because the gods of the divine realm are targeting it. If anyone is to blame, it is the dragon god of that time who made that choice."

During the great war in the divine realm, he clearly witnessed the entire process through the remnant souls of the Water and Fire Dragon Kings, and was fully aware of everything.

If the Dragon God hadn't insisted on doing this, the gods of the divine realm alone could not have brought the dragon race to such a state.

It can only be said that if you want to change the situation, you have to bear the consequences of failure.

These dragons may be innocent, but who can guarantee that they didn't wreak havoc in the realm of gods back then? It's just that people think differently depending on their position.

Gu Yuena was well aware of these things, but as a new being who bore the divine essence of the Dragon God and the laws of the elements, her thoughts were still subconsciously considered from the perspective of the dragon race.

"I know, but I still feel bad."

Huo Yuhao shook his head. He didn't feel particularly upset, but he still walked up to Gu Yuena, gently embraced her, and comforted her softly.

Yu Qiu'er pouted at the sight. She felt that something was wrong with her master, but she couldn't figure out why.

"Alright, it is precisely because of the Dragon God's failure back then, and the fate that the Dragon Clan is now suffering as losers, that we should learn from this lesson and prevent ourselves from repeating the same mistakes, right?"

"Look at the remnants of those true dragons, and the bones scattered all over the ground. Let them have a final resting place."

Gu Yuena had calmed down by now, her face slightly flushed, and she reluctantly left Huo Yuhao's embrace.

"I see."

The largest and most energy-fluid remains here are naturally the skeleton of the Mountain Dragon King.

At this moment, one of the nine most powerful dragon kings of that time lay quietly on the desolate land, with a huge crack in the center of his massive skeleton, which was thousands of meters long.

The crack, from beginning to end, was clearly caused by a sharp weapon, and the savage aura emanating from it made Huo Yuhao feel extremely uncomfortable.

Because his arm soul bones came from the Water and Fire Dragon Kings, and with Gu Yuena, the Silver Dragon King, by his side, Huo Yuhao couldn't feel the pressure from one of the nine strongest dragon kings back then, and could even feel close to him.

As for the idea that the Dragon Burial Ceremony was a test from the Dragon God, Huo Yuhao didn't care at all. With a Dragon God who was so irrational, such a thing as a test was utter nonsense.

The position of the Dragon God?

Sorry, whoever is stronger is the Dragon God!

When the opportunity arises to approach the realm of gods, and Gu Yuena obtains the bloodline of the Golden Dragon King and the other half of her divine status, Gu Yuena will become the new Dragon God. As for that abstract figure, there is no need to revive him.

At this moment, as if sensing something, countless dragon souls began to revive, and wisps of mist rose from the ground, carrying varying degrees of residual dragon bloodlines, with the powerful ones still retaining a faint divine essence.

However, as the saying goes, once something is dead, it is dead. After so many years, these dragon souls are nothing but remnant souls without consciousness and only instincts. They cannot be considered life, and there is absolutely no hope of resurrection.

They came from the Dragon God, and now they sensed an existence that was very close to the Dragon God's level, so they naturally kept converging on this side. It was unimaginable that Gu Yuena, who inherited half of the bloodline, could gain the recognition of these remnant souls.

Gu Yuena needed these dragon souls. Since these dragon souls were actively converging on her, willing to be absorbed by her, and unwilling to remain here in eternal sorrow, she had no reason to refuse.

The dragon soul of the Mountain Dragon King also condensed from the thousand-meter-long skeleton in front of him. Just like the choice made by the Water and Fire Dragon Kings, this one of the nine great dragon kings of that time instinctively dedicated everything to Gu Yuena.

Huo Yuhao knew that besides these dragon souls, there was also a part of the remnant soul and remains of the Dragon God in that valley within a valley. This was the energy center of this small world, constantly absorbing cosmic energy and being the fundamental source of its operation.

Back then, the Dragon God was killed by the old Asura God with a single sword strike, and his divine essence split into two. The Destruction Divine Essence and a portion of his bloodline gave birth to the Golden Dragon King, while the Creation Divine Essence and a portion of his bloodline gave birth to the Silver Dragon King.

They had nothing to do with the soul of the Dragon God. The Dragon God, having lost his divine status and bloodline, and his remaining soul which posed no threat whatsoever, fell from the realm of gods, just like the Mountain Dragon King and the others, and became a member of the Dragon Valley.

The Dragon God's soul, or rather, his remnant soul, is what truly helps Gu Yuena recover. That remnant is also the key to helping Huo Yuhao understand how to construct an energy center and find the Dragon God's heart.

A large number of dragon souls were willingly absorbed by Gu Yuena, while a small portion were willing to be absorbed by Yu Qiu'er, who also possessed dragon blood.

Some dragon souls with water and fire attributes also came to Huo Yuhao's side, but he rejected them and sent them to Gu Yuena's side.

Unlike Gu Yuena, who relied on the dragon bloodline as the foundation of everything and absorbed the Water and Fire Dragon Kings, he kept the dragon bloodline in his body in a state where it could be separated at any time.

The reason is that if the dragon bloodline is not high enough, it will be suppressed by the higher level of dragon bloodline. There is no reason to create such a disadvantage for oneself.

Meanwhile, after absorbing the Mountain Dragon King's remaining divine essence and weak bloodline power, Gu Yuena presented Huo Yuhao with a ball of earth-yellow light.

It was the medium needed to absorb the Mountain Dragon King's torso bones. With this, Huo Yuhao was able to draw upon the most powerful part of the Mountain Dragon King's remains and integrate it into himself.
