Douluo Continent: The World Shines with Stars

Chapter 106 Fire Dragon King

"Hey, Senior Dugu, we're in luck! This Blue Silver King actually dropped a Soul Bone."

"Is that so? I think it must have harbored great resentment towards the Haotian Sect during its lifetime. It must have been tough for them."

Dugu Bo had no idea when the Haotian Sect had offended this powerful figure, but as long as it wasn't targeting the Dugu family, the destruction of the Haotian Sect was irrelevant to him.

He watched as Xu Mingxi collected the soul bone of the 85,000-year-old Blue Silver King and followed behind him with Dugu Yan.

It would be a lie to say that Dugu Bo was completely uninterested in this soul bone, but he had no reason to speak up since he hadn't killed the Blue Silver King, and he didn't want to offend Xu Mingxi and the Star Crown Sect.

Now, relying on his unparalleled poison skills, he is highly regarded within the Star Crown Sect. However, the descendants of the Dugu family may not have such an opportunity to evolve the Azure Phosphorous Serpent into the Azure Phosphorous Serpent Emperor, and then into the Azure Phosphorous Flood Dragon.

As long as the Star Crown Sect allows the Dugu family to continue peacefully, what does it matter if they ask him to hand over the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eye?

Xu Mingxi was unaware of Dugu Bo's thoughts. If he had known, he would have wholeheartedly agreed. He swiftly traversed the forest and arrived once again at the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eye, the great treasure land that had brought the Star Crown Sect to prominence.

"Speaking of which, the sect still has a Love-Sickness Red Intestine and a Strange Treasure Sky-Reaching Chrysanthemum that we haven't used yet. Perhaps we can use one of them to win over Chrysanthemum Ghost Douluo? But why does it feel like a bit of a loss?"

It's not that Chrysanthemum and Ghost Douluo aren't strong; both are level 94 Title Douluo, and with their Martial Soul Fusion Skill, they are definitely among the strongest on the continent.

Even with their help, the Star Crown Sect couldn't defeat the Spirit Hall, and without them, other forces wouldn't dare to provoke the Star Crown Sect. This made the existence of Chrysanthemum and Ghost Douluo somewhat delicate, as if they were dispensable.

The poison array set up by Dugu Bo outside the Yin-Yang Well still exists, only slightly damaged, and there are some corpses nearby, most likely soul beasts from Sunset Forest that accidentally wandered in.

"Mingxi, you can wander around here by yourself for now. I'll take Yanyan back to get some medicinal herbs to help her strengthen her body."

"Alright, Senior Dugu, please feel free to do as you please."

Xu Mingxi walked alone in the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire. Having consumed the two immortal herbs, the Eight-Cornered Mystic Ice Grass and the Blazing Apricot, he was no longer afraid of the extreme power of ice and fire here.

Without even glancing at the thriving high-grade herbs beside him, he flew straight to the sky above the blazing Yangquan, his left hand enveloped in sunlight, and slowly reached into the Yangquan.

It's not hot, you can go in. Xu Mingxi withdrew her hand, the sunlight enveloping her whole body as she entered the Yangquan spring and began to swim towards the bottom of the lake.

The crimson spring water completely enveloped Xu Mingxi. As he continued to descend, he slowly felt the surrounding temperature rising. Even the solar shield could not completely protect him from the high temperature of the lake water.

With the activation of her eighth soul skill, Blazing Sun Body, Xu Mingxi's body was covered with a thin red film, which insulated her from the high temperature outside.

However, the good times didn't last long. Even with the double protection of sunlight and scorching sun, the high temperature penetrated into the protective shield, and Xu Mingxi could only rely on her body, which had been weakened by taking the Fiery Apricot Dew, to endure it.

Fortunately, he could already see the situation at the bottom of the lake. Under the crimson lake water was a huge skeleton. Xu Mingxi guessed that this was most likely the corpse of the legendary Fire Dragon King.

He forced himself to continue swimming downstream and quickly examined the remains of the Fire Dragon King, only to be greatly disappointed. There was nothing like the million-year-old soul bones that netizens from his previous life had mentioned. The energy of the two dragon kings' corpses had likely all been transformed into these two magical springs.

Just as Xu Mingxi swam upstream, a glimmer of light appeared in the eye sockets of the Fire Dragon King's skeleton in the scorching Yangquan spring.

A flash of fiery red light streaked past, and Xu Mingxi's mental defense soul tool shattered instantly. He could feel something invading his mental sea.

His expression changed, and the Golden Crow Transformation Rainbow skill of the 100,000-year-old Yangyanwu Soul Bone was activated. Golden crow wings appeared behind him, and he instantly rushed out of Yangtan, lay down on the shore, and his mind was completely immersed in the sea of ​​spirit.

The moment he entered the sea of ​​consciousness, he felt a scorching heat rush towards him, and what came into his view was a huge, fiery red creature.

A giant, entirely red dragon suddenly appeared in his sea of ​​consciousness, like a blazing flame, exuding a powerful and ancient aura.

"You are... the Fire Dragon King? What do you want?"

"Young man, do not be impulsive. I am but a remnant soul. I sensed the presence of an old friend and came in to take a look."

"An old friend? I wonder who you're referring to, senior."

"God of Stars, junior, you should have obtained a fragment of his divine essence. It seems he has also perished in that great battle."

Fragments of the God of Stars? Xu Mingxi's mind seemed to have been opened up, and some of his previous doubts were instantly answered, but new doubts arose.

Why is there a Star God's Divine Rank in the assessment of the Sun and Moon Gods? What is their relationship? And what is that pitch-black crystal ball that was given to me?

Most importantly, could the moon goddess's final words, "The most loyal to you are the brilliance of the stars," possibly refer to the god of the stars?

"Senior, do you know the relationship between the God of Stars and the Gods of the Sun and Moon?"

"What? The Sun Goddess and Moon Goddess sisters are still alive? That's a good thing. Now that you've received the inheritance of the Star God, I'll tell you all about it."

Once upon a time, the God of Stars was the elder brother of the Gods of the Sun and Moon. All three of them were friends of our Soul Beast Clan and controlled the three lights of the world: the sun, the moon, and the stars.

Unfortunately, a great battle later occurred, and all the deities of the Soul Beast lineage perished. Now it seems that the Star God was implicated because of us.

"Does the senior know that they have a jet-black crystal ball in their hands?"

"I'm not too sure about that. Alright, junior, I'm going back to continue my slumber. Don't even think about the soul bone; there's no such thing."

The energy from my and the old water dragon's corpses has long since transformed into these two springs. You could plant some magical herbs or something nearby.

The dragon's shadow vanished instantly. Xu Mingxi, now fully awake, removed the cracked level-eight mental defense soul tool from her neck, feeling a slight pang of heartache.

"If you're going to come out, then come out. Can't you be a little gentler?" However, the words of the Fire Dragon King's remnant soul did give Xu Mingxi a hint: if he wanted to obtain the inheritance of the Sun and Moon Gods, perhaps he could start with this Star God.

The appearance of starlight and the words of the Moon Goddess during the trials in Sun and Moon Valley were definitely not accidental. Perhaps the key to lighting up that pitch-black crystal ball lies with this God of Stars.

Xu Mingxi took out the black crystal ball again and tried to inject starlight into it, but there was still no change, so he had no choice but to put it away.
