Douluo: The Peerless Sun and Moon Mechanical God

"null--"

The bronze fire dragon swooped down to the ground, a scorching wind blowing across its face, and ancient trees within a radius of tens of meters all leaned back. Its eyes burned with intense flames as it looked down at the tiny humans.

Slowly raising his head, Lin Qing met the dragon's gaze without flinching. The Bronze Hellfire Dragon was a noble dragon, yet the human showed no fear; a proud lion was hidden in its silver-gray pupils!

"Ten thousand years of cultivation..."

Lin Qing muttered to himself, "The Bronze Hellfire Dragon, like the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear, is on the hunting list for the fourth soul ring. This guy who just broke through ten thousand years has arrived at just the right time!"

Molten fire splattered from the tips of its wings. The Bronze Hellfire Dragon flapped its wings and let out a deafening roar. It had a perverse obsession with rare metals and had now realized that it had fallen into a trap.

There were no rare or precious treasures, only a human soul master radiating murderous intent waiting for it to come to him!

How dare you mess with me!!!

The plan to absorb the ultimate gold to break through the limits of his bloodline failed, which meant that his lifelong wish to step on the Emperor and marry Zi Ji had been thwarted.

The Bronze Hellfire Dragon was so enraged that steam billowed from its body, its chest swelled to almost a sphere, and a blinding crimson light ignited deep within its throat. The flames climbed along the jagged bone spikes of its spine, finally transforming into a scorching pillar of fire in the gaping maw of the abyss.

Explosive Flame Dragon Breath!

Fueled by intense rage, the Bronze Hellfire Dragon unleashed its full power, its blazing dragon breath aimed directly at Lin Qing. The air along its path was distorted and warped by the intense heat, and the surrounding bushes spontaneously combusted, creating clusters of crimson torches in the forest, as if setting up a duel atmosphere of life and death in a battle between humans and dragons.

A silver shield, gleaming in the sunlight, stood directly across the path the dragon's breath would inevitably take. The shield's surface was engraved with intricate and exquisite soul-guiding patterns, exuding the natural, cold, and hard luster of a metallic artifact.

Level 4 peak defensive soul guide device, the Mechanical King Shield.

"boom--"

The Exploding Dragon Breath slammed head-on into the Mech King Shield, like a monstrous wave crashing against a silent, stubborn reef. The Mech King Shield remained unmoved, firmly protecting its master. The silver-white shield resisted all the flames, shattering them into sparks.

The flames faded away, and the Bronze Hellfire Dragon involuntarily raised its upper body. Its dragon breath had no effect whatsoever, indicating that this human soul master was no ordinary person.

A vast surge of soul power emanated from the majestic dragon's body, forcefully enveloping the forest. The ground began to change dramatically, and everything in sight was tinged with a bluish-green hue.

One by one, branches broke through the soil, soft and damp at the moment they emerged, but hardening as they were exposed to the air. Hundreds and thousands of green branches intertwined and pressed against each other, rising up from the ground with a series of frictions, growing into awe-inspiring giant trees.

The Bronze Forest.

Regardless of the rules governing humans or soul beasts, domain-type soul skills are undeniably powerful.

The effect of the Bronze Forest is to turn everything within its range into bronze. The Bronze Hellfire Dragon is absolutely confident, imagining Lin Qing being frozen into a bronze sculpture. It will take him back to its lair and keep him under its noble dragon buttocks all day long. This is the consequence of toying with the great dragon race!

"Buzz—"

The Bronze Hellfire Dragon's smug expression suddenly froze, and its molten gold vertical pupils shrank to the size of pinpoints, because it sensed something unusual. An uncontrollable and unfamiliar power had descended upon the Bronze Forest, which was clearly another realm!

Transparent, silvery-white walls rose from all sides, and mechanical elements spread out layer by layer, enveloping everything that belonged to bronze inside and out. The green branches howled and broke, and the hardened bronze forest collapsed and shattered before the supreme ultimate gold.

The bronze fragments did not disappear completely, but were recycled and transformed by the melting and refining of mechanical elements. In an instant, the domain changed hands.

Innate Domain, Steel and Mechanical Domain.

The increased concentration of mechanical elements instantly reshaped the environment, creating an ironclad world perfectly suited for Lin Qing's combat.

Within the Steel Mechanized Domain, Lin Qing's soul power consumption decreased by 50%, and the power of his soul skills and the soul tools enhanced by the mechanical elements increased significantly!

The two realms were decided in the blink of an eye, and under the rule of the metallic emperor, even the burning bronze would solidify.

Don't underestimate the power of extreme attributes, which resemble a caste system of superiority. Second-ring Huo Yuhao could easily defeat fifth-ring Ling Luochen. Against mechanical elements, the pure Infernal Dragon wasn't so constrained; the bronze power gained by their ancestors at the cost of their lives had become the Achilles' heel of the Bronze Infernal Dragon!

The second-ranked Millennium Soul Ring was dazzling, its mechanical elements coalescing into a long, silver lock like vines, which extended to the Bronze Hellfire Dragon's majestic body, nimbly squeezing into the gaps in its scales and locking it in its space.

Second Soul Skill: Mechanical Growth.

The Thousand-Year-Old Green Golden Vine is a plant-type soul beast with dual attributes of life and metal, granting the mechanical element extraordinary life power.

At the same time, Lin Qing flipped his hands and grasped various different soul tools.

With his left hand still pointing at the bee-like gun, the five gun barrels were extended, and bullets surged out like a swarm of bees, countless silver rays clattering and bombarding the surface of the bronze hellfire dragon, the crisp sounds ringing out incessantly.

The right-hand soul tool is called Snake Bullet, and its shape is a large snake coiled around the forearm with its mouth open at nearly 180 degrees, shooting out bullets with long, thin trails of flame.

After hitting the dragon's body, the snake-guided bullets did not explode, but instead transformed into numerous spirit snakes that tightly coiled around the dragon and merged with the silver vines growing from the machine.

"Boom, boom, boom, boom—"

The bee attacks seemed endless, and the dark blue scales, unable to withstand the strain, exposed the bright red flesh beneath.

The mechanical growth helped the snake attract the seemingly endless mechanical elements in the steel mechanical domain, constantly layering and binding them. The dragon scales were pried off piece by piece, and the bronze hellfire dragon was like a moth caught in a spider web, only able to flap its wings in vain.

"roar--"

Lin Qing's actions completely aroused the ferocity of the soul beasts. The aura of the Bronze Hellfire Dragon changed drastically. The bronze was suppressed by the mechanical element, and it also had the flames of the Purgatory Dragon.

The dragon's entire body rapidly heated up, the flames turning from deep red to blazing white, and the tight bindings of the snake-drawn projectile began to loosen.

The Bronze Hellfire Dragon raised its head and roared, spewing out its fury. Blazing flames poured from its mouth, scales, nostrils, and eye sockets, indiscriminately attacking everything around it!

"Damn it, my Blue Silver Grass can't withstand the dragon fire!" Tang Ya cried out, tearfully showing the withered and gray Blue Silver Grass in her palm.

Looking for a noble fire-elemental weapon similar to Tang San's ancestor!

"You're protecting Yuhao."

Beibei glared helplessly at his scatterbrained girlfriend. He unleashed his first, second, and third spirit rings at full power, activating the Awakening of the Holy Light Dragon to block the way and alleviate the explosive firepower of the Bronze Hellfire Dragon.

Out of curiosity, the three members of the Tang Clan stayed to watch the battle, but they never expected to suffer such an undeserved disaster.

Beads of cold sweat trickled down the foreheads of the three audience members, as if they had been inexplicably skewered onto a barbecue grill. The three pieces of charcoal-grilled pork ribs would be prepared as mildly spicy or extra spicy according to Lin Qing and the Bronze Hellfire Dragon's taste.

"Teacher Xiaoya, is that metal lump in Lin Qing's hand a martial soul?" Huo Yuhao asked blankly.

The deafening roar of gunfire nearby was like tearing apart eardrums, and Huo Yuhao suddenly felt a little envious. The two were clearly of similar age, but he could only tremble as he looked at the Bronze Hellfire Dragon, while Lin Qing took out his gun and emptied the magazine hard at the dragon's head!

"No, Lin Qing's martial soul should be the metal element, and the weapon he uses is called a soul tool." Tang Ya explained to her little apprentice, "Soul tools... especially long-range soul tools, are one of the root causes of the Tang Sect's decline, completely replacing the hidden weapons we relied on for survival."

Of course, Lin Qing himself must have some special characteristics, otherwise the power wouldn't be so outrageous.

"Soul Masters and Soul Guidance Masters are inherently at odds. Using Soul Guidance Devices is a disgrace to Soul Masters. This is a principle that Shrek Academy has always upheld," Bei Bei added.

"However, as disciples of the Tang Clan, since we take it upon ourselves to revive the Tang Clan, we must learn from each other's strengths and make up for our weaknesses by studying the knowledge of soul tools and compensating for the shortcomings of hidden weapons."

Unfortunately, neither Xiaoya nor I have the talent to become a Soul Master. If you, Yuhao, are willing, your senior brother hopes you will choose to study Soul Tools. After all, your Spirit Eye Martial Soul possesses spiritual attributes, which are very similar to Lin Qing's metal element, giving you a natural advantage in researching Soul Tools.

Lin Qing is the most talented person I've ever seen at combining martial souls and soul tools so smoothly; no one in the entire Shrek Academy's Soul Tool Department can compare to him..."

As soon as he finished speaking, the worry on Beibei's face vanished in an instant. He hadn't revealed Lin Lan's situation earlier because he couldn't bear to see her suffer.

However, Lin Qing's destination is Shrek Academy. He will eventually learn the truth. If a monster of this level stands against Shrek Academy, and he grows into a Title Douluo, a Super Douluo... a level 10 Soul Master with numerous Soul Tools, the entire Shrek City will be reduced to a vast wasteland!

"Xiao Yuhao, your senior brother overlooked one point: Lin Qing's martial soul is not an ordinary gold element martial soul; it is a mutated, ultimate gold."

As Huo Yuhao fell into deep thought, the lazy voice of Tianmeng Ice Silkworm suddenly echoed in his mind.

"The ultimate gold, what is that?"

"You can simply understand it as the end of an attribute," Tianmeng Ice Silkworm said slowly. "Ultimate martial souls are extremely rare in the world, and elemental martial souls are not soul beasts that live in reality. It's understandable that Beibei, who is only a teenager, wouldn't recognize it."

However, Brother Tianmeng had lived for millions of years and had seen more than one ultimate soul beast, so he recognized it as ultimate gold at a glance.

"Tsk tsk tsk, what an exceptionally gifted talent... Have you heard of the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear King, ranked sixth among the ten most ferocious beasts on the continent? Even that bear among bears isn't the ultimate gold, so you can imagine how terrifying the true ultimate gold is. Compared to that, the bronze power of the Bronze Hellfire Dragon is simply a joke."

Missing out on the ultimate gold, Tianmeng Ice Silkworm secretly regretted not being named Tianmeng Golden Silkworm, otherwise it could have merged with Lin Qing. A good horse deserves a good saddle!

"What are the Ten Ferocious Beasts? Are they the ten most powerful soul beasts? Brother Tianmeng has a million years of cultivation, so where do you rank?" Huo Yuhao asked, bewildered.

"...Shut your mouth!"

In the battle between humans and dragons, the Bronze Hellfire Dragon broke free from the dual constraints of the Serpent's Projectile and the Mechanical Growth, soaring high once more, gathering all its power to bring victory to the end of this battle. The fervor of flames and the clang of bronze filled the sky.

A ring of fire gathers atop the bronze dragon head, displaying a bluish-green hue with burning flame cloud patterns. As if alive, it climbs layer upon layer towards the clouds, with five consecutive bluish-green fire rings suspended in the air, the flames flowing back and forth, endlessly regenerating.

Flames illuminated the earth, cracking the parched forest floor like veins. A dense, breathtaking array of bronze fire meteors hovered between five rings of fire, each enveloped in azure flames, resembling hundreds or thousands of lit bronze lamps, turning the evening sky into a brilliant azure.

Bronze Hellfire Dragon's strongest soul skill: Bronze Purgatory!

The phrase "Bronze dyed with fire, a night that never sleeps" perfectly describes this magnificent scene.

The dragon folded its wings, and the five rings of fire trembled simultaneously. A thousand bronze meteors roared down from the sky and crashed into the earth, heading straight for the silver-gray figure.

"Whoosh—"

The silver disc player exuded the fierce pressure brought by the Bronze Purgatory. Lin Qing gripped two identical giant spears tightly in his hands. The spears were long and exaggerated in shape, with the muzzles carved into the shape of a roaring dragon.

Giant Spear, Dragon's Devour.

All the fear stems from insufficient firepower!

The concept behind Bee Devourer is to eliminate mobs, while Dragon Devourer is a point-to-point explosion, aiming for a one-hit kill.

The Bronze Hellfire Dragon couldn't help but shudder. From the two dark gun barrels, it felt a deadly threat that could pierce its heart. But the appearance of the two Dragon Devourers was only the first step.

The first and second soul rings erupted, and the first soul skill Zero Generation and the second soul skill Mechanical Growth attached themselves to the two Dragon Devouring Spears. The soul guidance patterns engraved on the spear body continued to expand to the other end, acting as a bridge to connect the two Dragon Devouring Spears.

The boundaries between the gun barrels became blurred, and mechanical elements forcibly stitched the two giant guns together, merging the dragon head muzzles to form a deep, dark, and gloomy opening.

Dual Pistols Modified, Dragon Devouring Cannon!

Lin Qing pulled the trigger, and the raging dragon broke free and shot out.

A beam of silver light shot out from the combined gun muzzle. The Dragon Devouring Cannon fired a shell that was a complete silver flame dragon, with every scale and feather clearly visible. The silver dragon absorbed the energy of the steel mechanical domain amidst its dazzling silver light. The silver dragon went against the current and rushed towards the bronze meteor that had fallen to the ground.

"Boom—"

The Dragon Devouring Cannon rampaged through the Bronze Purgatory, its silver dragon tail sweeping across the area several times. Meteors exploded like smashed eggs, with azure sparks drifting and dancing. The remaining force blasted out a sea of ​​fire amidst interwoven silver and azure clouds.

The Bronze Hellfire Dragon desperately flew to a higher place, knowing that the Dragon Devouring Cannon was more powerful than the Bronze Purgatory. Its silver flames were tearing apart meteors one by one, and it needed altitude and time to regroup its power.

During its escape, the Bronze Hellfire Dragon kept its eyes fixed on the fire ring beneath it and keenly noticed a figure rising rapidly.

That's impossible.

The dragon shook its head in disbelief. The explosion from the collision of the two skills was so powerful that even the thick, bronze-colored dragon scales could not withstand it. If the tempered and refined body of a soul beast could not withstand it, what right did the fragile flesh and blood of humans have to do so?

The reality defied the Bronze Hellfire Dragon's comprehension. A silver shadow burst forth from the azure fire ring, its third soul ring shimmering in all directions. Mechanical elements dragged Lin Qing upwards, while a silent, illusory ghost pierced through the constantly falling bronze fragments, pursuing the dragon at a speed even faster than it could.

Third Soul Skill: Elementalization.

A support soul skill that grants temporary immunity to physical attacks and reduces energy-type attacks by 80%.

It came from a very rare gold elemental soul beast. In Lin Qing's memory, the Light-Breaking Demon Soul Bone that Dragon God Douluo Mu En gave to Wang Dong was also obtained from a similar light elemental soul beast.

The humans and the dragon locked eyes for the second time, and the situation was completely reversed. A clear, cool smile appeared on Lin Qing's lips.

If you don't smile when you want to win, it means your bro's dominance isn't strong enough!

There's no way we can lose; the smile can't be hidden!
