Douluo Continent: Azure Dragon Slays Evil, Qilin Suppresses the World

The two arrived at the Star Dou Great Forest, and Di Tian, ​​sensing their presence, immediately came out to greet them.

He stood at the edge of the forest, his black robe fluttering in the wind, and immediately bowed to the two of them upon seeing them.

"Greetings, senior."

Xuan Qing waved his hand: "I already said, there's no need for such formalities."

"Public courtesy should not be disregarded. The fact that your guidance alone allowed Aunt Ice and Fire to survive is enough for us to treat you as an honored guest."

"Senior, please come in."

Di Tian waved his hand and opened the spatial gate. Silver light flowed, and behind the gate was a tranquil lake, a true lake of life.

Just as the three were about to enter, a gruff voice rang out: "Di Tian, ​​why did you bring humans here? This is against our rules!"

A huge, dark gold dinosaur claw bear approached; it was Xiong Jun, who stared at Xuan Qing with hostile eyes.

This guy always liked to go against Di Tian, ​​and now that he's caught someone red-handed, he's naturally going to use it as an excuse to his advantage.

Di Tian's face darkened, and he was about to teach this stupid bear a lesson.

A grayish-white light flew out from Xuan Qing's body, and a Qilin the size of a colt landed on the ground, lazily yawning.

It glanced at Xiong Jun with disdain in its eyes, which clearly said: What kind of class do you have to dare to lecture my master?

Xiong Jun froze, feeling a terrifying bloodline suppression emanating from the Qilin! He immediately wilted, shrinking his neck and daring not to utter a sound.

Di Tian snorted coldly, secretly pleased, but he didn't let him off the hook and directly mocked him.

"Aren't you usually quite arrogant? Look closely, this is a Qilin. Among all the beasts in the world, the Qilin is the leader."

Although he didn't know what a Qilin was, these were Xuan Qing's exact words, perfect for intimidating people.

Xiong Jun lowered his head, slunk away, and dared not provoke him again.

Di Tian ignored him and led the two inside.

The three arrived at the edge of a tranquil lake. The lake water was emerald green and exuded a rich sense of life. This was truly a lake of life.

The one guarded by the Titan Ape and the Azure Bull Python was just a facade, a deception.

Di Tian walked to the lakeside and bowed.

"My lord, the senior has been brought back."

Ripples spread across the lake's surface, and a silvery light rose from the lakebed, growing brighter and brighter, as a clear, cool female voice rang out.

"Please come in and talk."

The lake water parted automatically, revealing a passage. Di Tian led the way, and the three of them walked down the passage.

At the end of the passage is a separate space where the life energy is even more concentrated than that outside.

A giant silver dragon lay crouching in the center of the space, its scales shimmering like moonlight.

However, there was a hideous sword wound on its body, running from its shoulder to its abdomen, with red sword energy emanating from the wound and constantly corroding its dragon body.

Upon seeing Xuan Qing and the other two enter, the silver dragon, enduring its pain, flashed a silver light and transformed into human form.

It was a woman with silver hair and purple eyes, with an extremely beautiful appearance, but her face was pale, and there was some blood seeping from her chest.

The woman bowed respectfully.

"Silver Dragon King Gu Yuena greets her senior."

Di Tian had told her about this person's identity before: one of the Four Heavenly Spirits, the God of the East, with an incredibly powerful background, so she dared not be negligent.

Xuan Qing scrutinized her. Was this the Silver Dragon King? The split half of the Dragon God was indeed very beautiful, but the injury was truly severe.

"The wound from the Asura Sword must be painful, right?"

Gu Yuena shook her head with a wry smile.

"Senior, you have keen insight. This sword wound has troubled me for tens of thousands of years and I have been unable to remove it."

She was constantly enduring the corrosive effects of the sword energy. If it weren't for the immense life energy of the Lake of Life, she wouldn't have been able to heal her injuries, let alone prevent them from worsening.

Xuanqing stepped forward and placed his hand not far from her chest, but not too close to avoid direct contact.

Grayish-white energy surged from his palm, the chaotic energy of the Chaotic Qilin. Xuan Qing wanted to use the chaotic energy to wear down the Asura Sword Qi.

When the chaotic energy touched the red sword energy, it made a hissing sound, and the sword energy was gradually worn away, very slowly.

This isn't because Xuanqing's cultivation level is particularly high, but rather because the level of Chaos Energy is higher than that of Asura Sword Qi. Simply put, a higher rank can crush a lower one.

The soul power within Xuan Qing's body rapidly disappeared. About half an hour later, the soul power approached, and Xuan Qing collapsed to the ground, gasping for breath.

Looking at the sword energy on Gu Yuena's chest, the red sword energy had decreased by about one-twentieth. Although it wasn't much, it was still effective.

"My soul power is too low right now. If I were a Title Douluo, I might be able to wear it down in one go."

Gu Yuena seemed not to hear his words, and instead smiled as she felt the changes in her wounds, her eyes shining.

"Even if it's just this little bit, it would take me nearly a thousand years to recover on my own."

She looked at Xuanqing and thanked him sincerely.

"Thank you for your help, senior. I will always remember this kindness."

Xuan Qing ignored her and took out a water pouch from his spatial storage. He then took a sip; the feeling of having his soul power depleted was truly unpleasant, and he needed to recover.

Gu Yuena asked curiously.

"Is there anything you need, senior?"

She truly knew nothing about the outside world. Ever since escaping back from the realm of gods, she had been recuperating and had never gone out.

Xuanqing didn't beat around the bush.

"I'm level 20, I need a spirit ring."

Gu Yuena was taken aback: "Senior, can't you condense your own spirit rings?"

Di Tian and Zi Ji were also very curious. It was common knowledge that when a soul beast re-cultivates, its first seven soul rings can be formed on their own.

Xuanqing explained with a smile.

"I am not a dragon of this world, and I told them before that I am just an incarnation used to experience the joys and sorrows of human life."

"Since I have chosen to transform into a human, I must abide by the rules of the human world. You can regard me as a divine examiner undergoing divine testing."

The three understood immediately. Divine Examiners have various limitations, and since they are not dragons from Douluo Continent, it's normal that they can't condense soul rings.

Gu Yuena nodded: "If you need anything, just ask Di Tian. I really can't help you in my current situation."

Her injuries were so severe that even the slightest movement was painful, and it was already a struggle for her to maintain a human form and speak.

Xuan Qing understood: "Just focus on recovering, I won't bother you any further."

He got up to leave, and Gu Yuena thanked him again, watching the three of them walk out of the space.

Emperor Tian asked the question upon returning to the Lake of Life.

"What type of spirit ring do you need, senior?"

Xuan Qing thought for a moment: "Around five thousand years, time and space attributes are preferred. If those are not available, lightning and wood attributes are also acceptable."

"The age must be no less than five thousand years, and it must be at least a sub-dragon species."

Di Tian nodded: "Please wait a moment, senior. I'll be right back."

With a wave of his right hand, the spatial ripples he created before his death caused him to vanish from the spot.

Zi Ji stayed where she was to keep Xuan Qing company.

Xuanqing sat down by the lake to regulate his breathing and recover his soul power. He had indeed consumed a lot of energy just now and needed to recover as soon as possible.

About fifteen minutes later, Di Tian returned, carrying a green dragon that was about six meters long.

The dragon had already fainted and had many wounds on its body, but its aura was not weak, indicating that it was indeed a sub-dragon species.

Di Tian threw the dragon to the ground.

"Senior, this 6,300-year-old Azure Wood Dragon, although it is purely of the wood element, is indeed a sub-dragon species."

Xuan Qing looked it over and nodded in satisfaction. It was indeed good; a wood-attribute dragon, and the age was also suitable.

He stood up, and with a flick of his right hand, the Azure Sky Demon-Slaying Spear appeared in his hand. He walked up to the dragon and thrust the spear three times into its eyes, clean and swift.

The dragon twitched a few times and then stopped breathing.

A noble purple soul ring floated out from the corpse; its color was very deep.

The color was close to deep purple, indicating that the age was indeed quite high. Xuan Qing sat down cross-legged and began to absorb the soul ring.

Seeing the dragon's corpse was a waste, Di Tian transformed into his original form, a hundred-meter-long black dragon that opened its massive maw and swallowed the corpse whole.

Soul beasts also need to hunt each other, which is normal. He smacked his lips; the taste was alright.
