Douluo Dalu II: The Peerless Tang Sect

Chapter 24 Ten Thousand Years! The Silver Dragon Wolf!

What exactly did Zhu Ziyang see?

A giant dragon!

No, it should be a giant silver wolf that is about to transform into a dragon. In the dim light, Zhu Ziyang saw the appearance of the giant wolf. Its body was covered with silver dragon scales, a pair of silver dragon wings grew from its ribs, and dragon horns were on its wolf head. Fortunately, its eyes were closed, which gave Zhu Ziyang time to escape.

Without hesitation, he suppressed his fear and physical weakness, immediately turned and ran towards the cave exit. He moved very quietly, for he was afraid of waking the giant wolf inside.

The distance of four or five meters felt like an eternity to Zhu Ziyang.

After finally emerging from the cave, Zhu Ziyang ran towards the village without saying a word. He wanted to tell Zhu Changhe and Hong Zhen to never come to the back mountain again, and even better, to report to Longcheng as soon as possible so that the high-level soul masters of Longcheng could take action.

Because that giant wolf was clearly a 100,000-year-old soul beast!

Zhu Ziyang had already recognized the giant wolf's identity: the Arctic Dragon Wolf, a sub-dragon soul beast with true dragon blood! Although the silver dragon wolf's appearance differed slightly from that of a traditional dragon wolf, Zhu Ziyang was still able to determine that it was a dragon wolf, and a hundred-thousand-year-old dragon wolf with dragon wings, a foot-long dragon horn, and about to evolve into a true dragon!

He ran towards Beihezhuang with all his might, as he had to tell Zhu Changhe and Hongzhen about it.

A 100,000-year-old soul beast!

If it were to descend upon Anyang City, which doesn't even have a Soul King, it would likely be a catastrophe! He wouldn't place his hopes on it being a kind 100,000-year-old Soul Beast. Even if it were truly kind, its kindness would certainly not extend to humans!

However, Zhu Ziyang's idea was destined to fail. He hadn't even run ten meters before his steps came to an abrupt stop.

He stood there dumbfounded, an unprecedented fear spreading through his mind. If it weren't for the pride bestowed upon him by the Great Brightness Technique, he probably would have already knelt down.

Before him stood a giant silver wolf, five meters long and nearly two meters tall, scrutinizing him with its silver vertical pupils. The wolf was covered in silver dragon scales, and its silver dragon wings drooped over its body. Beneath the wings was a terrifying, grayish wound that stretched from its waist to its abdomen. If it weren't for the thin layer of frost covering the wound, its internal organs would probably have fallen out.

Despite his immense fear, Zhu Ziyang's martial soul ability allowed him to perceive the true nature of the gray aura: the power of death! It wasn't an external force of death, but rather the silver dragon wolf's own death power, meaning it was nearing its end!

Thinking of this, Zhu Ziyang became even more frightened, because no one could guarantee what crazy things a dying 100,000-year-old soul beast might do, even massacre a city!

He dared not move, because in front of a 100,000-year-old soul beast, even a dying 100,000-year-old soul beast, he, a mere Soul Venerable, could not cause the slightest disturbance. The other party only needed to use its aura to crush him to death.

Is he going to die here today? Is this a case of heaven being jealous of talent? Is he going to become wolf droppings before he even has a chance to show his abilities?

Zhu Ziyang thought of many things in an instant.

The silver dragon wolf didn't slap Zhu Ziyang to death as he had imagined. Instead, it observed him with interest, even sticking out its head to sniff him. This action nearly scared Zhu Ziyang to death; he thought he was about to be eaten alive. Fortunately, this silver dragon wolf didn't have such a fetish. From an angle Zhu Ziyang couldn't see, a hint of joy, a trace of determination, and intense hatred and resentment flashed in the silver dragon wolf's eyes.

Are you scared?

As Zhu Ziyang was lost in thought, preparing to face death, he suddenly heard a clear, cold female voice. He was startled, then instinctively looked in the direction of the voice, only to see the silver dragon wolf with its head lowered, staring at him with interest. His head spun, and he retorted defiantly, "Nonsense! A scholar can be killed but not humiliated! If you're going to do it, do it quickly! Why torture me like this!"

"Why would I kill you?" A cold female voice came from the silver dragon wolf's mouth, tinged with a hint of doubt.

"Then, what's the matter, Sister Dragon Wolf?" Upon hearing this, Zhu Ziyang immediately knew that things had taken a turn for the better and that he might still have a chance to survive. He quickly asked, willing to risk everything to stay alive.

"Release your dragon spirit." The silver dragon wolf ignored Zhu Ziyang's attitude and said with a clear purpose.

"This..." Zhu Ziyang was filled with doubt, but he dared not be negligent in the slightest. He immediately recited the mantra in his mind, and the Frost Tyrannosaurus Martial Soul was activated. Frosty white dragon scales covered his arms and cheeks, and his eyes turned into vertical pupils. His figure grew taller, and his physique became visibly stronger.

"It's actually an Ice Tyrannosaurus Rex!" The silver dragon wolf, observing Zhu Ziyang's transformation, murmured with delight in its silver eyes, "Truly a stroke of luck!"

"What?" Zhu Ziyang didn't hear what the silver dragon wolf said clearly and looked at it in confusion.

"Human, you are lucky." The silver dragon wolf stared at Zhu Ziyang and said, word by word, "Because I will sacrifice myself for you!"

"Huh?" Zhu Ziyang's first reaction was that he had misheard, and then he opened his mouth wide in disbelief, staring blankly at the silver dragon wolf. What kind of absurd world is this?

A 100,000-year-old soul beast appears before you only to sacrifice itself to you—even adventure novels wouldn't dare to make something like this!

"I'm sure you can see I'm badly injured and won't live much longer." The silver dragon wolf ignored Zhu Ziyang's reaction and continued, "I have a great grudge to avenge. After I sacrifice myself, you will need to avenge me!"

Zhu Ziyang was speechless.

The silver dragon wolf continued talking to itself, "Your Frost Tyrannosaurus bloodline is very compatible with mine. After I sacrifice myself to you, it can directly evolve into a true dragon. This is an absolute blessing for you. If you are lucky enough, you might even inherit my ultimate attributes and power of destiny."

Zhu Ziyang was speechless. What could he say? He had no right to refuse. Even if he were to sacrifice you, what did it have to do with you?

"Before that, you need to make a vow!" A ruthless glint flashed in the silver dragon wolf's eyes as it looked at Zhu Ziyang and said, "You must vow to avenge me. What's your name?"

"Zhu Ziyang," Zhu Ziyang said obediently.

"Alright, Zhu Ziyang, tell me!" The silver dragon wolf, its eyes gleaming with a mysterious light, said, "I, Zhu Ziyang, swear to the will of the world."

"I, Zhu Ziyang, swear to the will of the world."

"With a limit of one hundred years,"

"With a limit of one hundred years,"

"I will avenge the Silver Dragon Wolf! Anyone who fails will be executed!"

"I will avenge the Silver Dragon Wolf! Anyone who fails will be executed!"

As Zhu Ziyang finished speaking, a silver dragon phantom shot from the eyes of the Silver Dragon Wolf, soaring into the sky before disappearing into the world. As the silver dragon phantom vanished, a silver pattern appeared between Zhu Ziyang's brows, then disappeared completely. A sudden realization dawned on him; he knew the oath had taken effect, and a constraint was now branded upon his head.

"Very good!" The silver dragon wolf was very satisfied with Zhu Ziyang's attitude. Joy, along with a longing for the world, shone in its dim eyes. It said, "I hope you won't forget your vow today!"

As a blessed beast favored by heaven and earth, it would never have made such a decision unless it was truly at its wit's end. It was unwilling to die in silence, for even in death, it wanted to take that ungrateful fellow with it!

The silver dragon wolf's eyes were incredibly cold and resolute.

Under Zhu Ziyang's gaze, a complex mix of surprise, curiosity, and excitement, the massive body of the Silver Dragon Wolf instantly burst into flames—a dreamlike, ethereal silver flame. Though intense, the flames lacked intense heat. In the blink of an eye, its body was ablaze, its clothes consumed, leaving it standing naked in the flames. These silver flames, though lacking in temperature, were unsettling. Yet, in Zhu Ziyang's eyes, these flames were incredibly warm.

His second martial soul emerged, and the frost-white dragon scales were also covered with silver flames, which burned together in Zhu Ziyang's surprised gaze.

"As agreed, I will become the soul ring of your Frost Tyrannosaurus Martial Soul. I will do my best to help you evolve your bloodline. How far you evolve is up to you." The Silver Dragon Wolf's voice rang in Zhu Ziyang's ears. "Absorb as much as you can. Even if you can't inherit my ultimate attributes, you must still become a true dragon!"

After he finished speaking, the silver flames burned even more fiercely, and the figure of the silver dragon wolf was completely enveloped by the silver flames. Then the flames transformed into a dragon shape and rushed into Zhu Ziyang's body.

"Remember, you must avenge me!" came the last of the Silver Dragon Wolf's voices.

Immediately afterwards, Zhu Ziyang fell into a deep sleep.
