The Glory of the Sun and Moon in the Peerless Tang Sect

Just as Wang Qiu'er was murmuring, a sudden change occurred.

In front of the hilly area where they were, lay a wide plain. High in the sky above the plain, clouds seemed to have found an outlet, churning violently before swarming toward them.

These clouds are extremely unusual, with a variety of colors. Red, orange, yellow, green, cyan, blue, violet, and so on, are all present.

In the blink of an eye, Xu Zihuang and Wang Qiu'er's bodies were enveloped by these clouds of various colors.

Each color of cloud contains a rich elemental energy, nourishing the two people's bodies in its own unique way.

For example, the scorching heat of the red fire-attribute dragon cloud, the lightness of the cyan wind-attribute dragon cloud, and the gentleness of the blue water-attribute dragon cloud, etc.

However, most of these dragon clouds burrowed into Xu Zihuang's body, and Wang Qiu'er only received a portion.

The dragon scale between Xu Zihuang's brows possesses the bloodlines of both golden and silver dragons, essentially a weakened version of the dragon god's bloodline. It's only natural that it attracts those dragon clouds.

Wang Qiu'er was able to receive Long Yun's favor because of the golden dragon bloodline remaining in her body.

Even after absorbing only a small portion of Long Yun's energy, Wang Qiu'er felt a fullness in her meridians. She immediately sat down cross-legged and entered a state of deep meditation.

Xu Zihuang's body had a higher tolerance for stress, but he still reached his limit after the last cloud passed through his body.

Countless points of light flickered and darted within his body, primarily representing the energies of the seven major elements: water, fire, wind, earth, darkness, light, and space. Other elemental energies were relatively less abundant.

Among them, the energy that best suits Xu Zihuang is naturally the dragon cloud energy with its lightning and spiritual attributes.

As these elemental energies circulated within Xu Zihuang's body, they gradually merged with his bloodline.

Because his soul power and martial soul are sealed, elemental energy cannot merge with his soul power, but it can still be integrated into his body. It's like a highly nourishing tonic.

Unconsciously, Xu Zihuang also entered a state of deep meditation.

After an unknown amount of time, Xu Zihuang finally awoke from his meditation. The first thing he felt was that his body's affinity for various elemental energies had greatly increased, and he could clearly see the various colored elemental light spots in the space.

While it won't grant him the ability to control other attributes, it will allow him to reduce the damage he receives when facing various attribute-based soul skill attacks in the future.

Furthermore, his mental strength had also improved considerably. While there were indeed relatively few dragons among the dragon clouds that originated from the mental attribute, their superior quality made up for it. Many of the mental attribute dragons were exceptionally powerful beings.

Xu Zihuang then examined his internal body and discovered that even his bones had gained a translucent quality.

Undoubtedly, his physical attributes have been greatly enhanced once again. This will undoubtedly be of immense benefit to his future absorption of high-level spirit rings and spirit bones, and even to the condensation of his second and third spirit cores. The effects of Long Yun's body-nourishing treatment are almost comparable to fusing a top-tier 100,000-year spirit bone.

Xu Zihuang stood up and looked ahead. If his senses were correct, most of the dragon clouds in Dragon Valley should have been attracted by the aura of the dragon scale between his brows. That was precisely why even his formidable physique was nearing its limit.

Wang Qiu'er was still cultivating, and it seemed that it would take some time before she could completely refine the attribute energy brought by Long Yun.

Xu Zihuang didn't rush to delve into the core area of ​​Dragon Valley, but instead stayed by Wang Qiu'er's side, simultaneously sensing the flow of time within the Dragon Valley world.

Although his martial soul was sealed, even without using the Golden Eye martial soul, his perception of time and space was extremely sharp.

His deep meditation lasted for more than two months.

Chapter 431 Dragon God's Soul and Mountain Dragon King's Torso Bones

Two days later, Wang Qiu'er also completed the absorption of the dragon cloud elemental attribute energy, and she and Xu Zihuang tacitly headed into the interior of Dragon Valley.

Unlike her indifferent expression, Wang Qiu'er, who was increasingly certain of the origin of this Dragon Valley space, felt a sense of heaviness and oppression in her heart.

Xu Zihuang, however, didn't experience as many emotional fluctuations. As a human, what did the rise and fall of the dragon race have to do with him? He entered the Dragon Valley space simply to obtain what he wanted.

For example, the true dragon soul bone and dragon core, as well as the energy crystals contained in the last wisp of the dragon god's remnant soul...

Upon reaching the plains, the view opened up. The dragon clouds floating above this plains had almost all passed through Xu Zihuang and Wang Qiu'er's bodies, thus acquiring a trace of their bloodline aura.

These dragon clouds that have been absorbed once will not be able to be absorbed again.

On the plains, the occasional weak earth dragon souls that roamed around posed no threat to the two of them. Xu Zihuang and Wang Qiu'er only needed to activate the power of their bloodlines to suppress these dragon souls, causing them to explode into clusters of energy that they could absorb.

However, the effect of the Earth Dragon Soul Energy on improving their physical fitness is actually far less than that of the previous Dragon Cloud Body Nourishment.

With the energy provided by Long Yun and Long Hun, Xu Zihuang and Wang Qiu'er no longer needed to replenish their energy through eating in this Dragon Valley space.

"Boom—" Wang Qiu'er used the Golden Dragon Spear to pierce through a huge dragon soul covered in crimson scales. Relying on the aura of her bloodline and the intimidation of the Golden Dragon Spear, the crimson-armored earth dragon soul instantly exploded into a pure energy body, which, using the Golden Dragon Spear as a medium, merged into her body without any loss.

Although the Red-Armored Earth Dragon's status among earth dragons cannot compare to that of the Tyrannosaurus Rex, it is still a formidable creature.

The dragon souls we're encountering are getting stronger and stronger, but we should be on the right track in terms of direction.

Xu Zihuang, silently observing all this, continued deeper into the forest. They had entered this forest not long ago after crossing a vast plain.

After absorbing the dragon soul energy of the crimson-armored earth dragon, Wang Qiu'er, holding the golden dragon spear, followed behind Xu Zihuang. After a moment of contemplation, she couldn't help but voice her question.

"This small world should be the location of the Dragon Tomb, where the Dragon Clan buries the remains of their people. How do you know about the existence of the Dragon Tomb?"

“Because I can know the past and the future, and I can see through fate.” Xu Zihuang stopped and turned to look at Wang Qiu’er, speaking calmly.

"When you return to the mainland, if you don't want to be manipulated and schemed against by those with ulterior motives, go back to the Star Dou Great Forest. It's safer there than in the human world."

These were Xu Zihuang's heartfelt thoughts. Although he didn't feel that his relationship with Wang Qiu'er was particularly close, after spending so much time together, they could call each other friends and companions.

He didn't want to see Wang Qiu'er being manipulated like a puppet by some selfless god-king.

Wang Qiu'er froze on the spot. It wasn't just the shock Xu Zihuang's previous words had given her, but more so the sincerity she felt from Xu Zihuang's words.

She unconsciously tightened her grip on the golden dragon spear, then raised her head, her gaze meeting Xu Zihuang's intently, her red lips parting slightly.

But just as she was about to say something, a high-pitched dragon roar suddenly resounded through the sky.

Above the forest, a dragon spirit, its body entirely blue-purple, hovered. This dragon spirit was over twenty meters long, with wings spread behind it, and its entire body crackling with blue-purple lightning. A ferocious and domineering dragon tail trailed behind it, and its claws were incredibly sharp.

Wherever it passed, arcs of electricity surged. Countless towering trees and leaves were quickly charred black and turned to ashes.

Xu Zihuang raised an eyebrow in surprise.

"Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex?"

The Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex, a powerful true dragon-type soul beast, has long been extinct on the Douluo Continent. However, it is reasonable that its dragon soul exists in Dragon Valley.

The blue lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex's dragon soul had already spotted them. It flapped its wings and swooped down towards them, leaving a trail of blue-purple afterimages behind it, its speed incredibly fast.

Thunder-attribute soul beasts are known for their powerful destructive force and explosive power. The Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex is undoubtedly the pinnacle of thunder-attribute soul beasts, possessing formidable offensive and defensive capabilities while also having no weaknesses in speed.

In an instant, the blue lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex arrived in front of Xu Zihuang and Wang Qiu'er, opened its huge mouth, and spewed out a ball of light as clear as blue crystal.

Blue Lightning Dragon Breath is the most powerful innate soul skill of the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus clan. It compresses the raging power of lightning to gain extremely astonishing destructive force. It is quite similar to the 100,000-year soul ring skill, Lightning Firefly, that the Thunder Beast gave Xu Zihuang.

Xu Zihuang and Wang Qiu'er simultaneously flashed away, narrowly avoiding the transparent blue sphere of light.

A deafening roar erupted as terrifying lightning raged, distorting the space itself, which was tens of meters in diameter. The spot where they had just stood was blasted into a massive crater over five meters deep and fifty meters in diameter. All the plants, soil, and gravel were completely melted away in the blue-purple arcs of lightning.

This Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex's soul power is less than one percent of its peak strength. One can only imagine how powerful a fully grown Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex would be at its peak.

Xu Zihuang calmly steadied himself, his right hand forming a fist. Tentacles etched with strange patterns, made of gold and silver, emerged from the void, binding the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex's movements. Golden and silver halos swirled and flickered on the tentacles, devouring the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex's dragon soul energy.

A 100,000-year-old soul skill: Touch of the Soul!

Even the true dragon soul is essentially a pure energy body with a wisp of soul power attached.

Xu Zihuang's sixth soul skill, Soul Touch, is precisely the nemesis of soul power.

The body of the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex gradually became illusory. As the user of the Soul Touch, the energy of the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex's dragon soul began to feed back into Xu Zihuang.

It took a full quarter of an hour for the dragon soul of the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex to completely disappear.

Xu Zihuang's body was crackling with blue-purple lightning as he rapidly absorbed the dragon soul's energy, integrating it into his bloodline.

The effect of the True Dragon Soul is much better; just absorbing the energy of this Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex's soul is even comparable to nourishing the body with dozens of dragon clouds.

Moreover, because the dragon soul of this Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex and Xu Zihuang's second martial soul share the same origin, its energy is perfectly compatible with his.

Wang Qiu'er arrived at Xu Zihuang's side as soon as he was absorbing the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex's soul energy, protecting him. This was the tacit understanding they had developed during their time at sea.

But even after Xu Zihuang finished absorbing the information, she didn't say what she had wanted to say earlier. She just stared blankly into the distance.

That's often how it is; once you miss a certain opportunity, some things can never be said.

"Let's go," Xu Zihuang reminded Wang Qiu'er beside him, and headed towards the core area of ​​Dragon Valley again. He had said all he needed to say; the choice was now up to Wang Qiu'er.

As they ventured deeper, Xu Zihuang and Wang Qiu'er encountered a significantly fewer dragon souls. However, every single one they encountered was a true dragon soul.

There are fire-attribute dragons like the Blazing Fire Dragon, the Red Armored Earth Dragon's superior true dragon, the Light-attribute dragon like the Holy Light Dragon, and so on.

Regardless of the attribute of the true dragon soul, it would be suppressed by the bloodline aura of the dragon scale between Xu Zihuang's brows and countered by the soul skill "Touch of the Soul." They encountered no obstacles along the way, making the journey exceptionally easy.

Nourished by the dragon soul energy, Xu Zihuang and Wang Qiu'er gained immense benefits. Of course, most of the dragon soul power was absorbed by Xu Zihuang.

When they had absorbed the tenth true dragon soul, they had arrived at the peak of the side of a valley.

The valley is concave inward; although it is called a valley, it is actually more like a huge basin, somewhat similar to the Yin-Yang Eye of Ice and Fire.

The valley below stretched as far as the eye could see, and in the distance, twilight descended, shrouded in a light mist.

In that valley thousands of meters deep, countless enormous bones covered every corner.

Even Xu Zihuang's pupils contracted sharply upon seeing the scene before him.

Wang Qiu'er felt an indescribable sorrow surge into her heart. The golden dragon bloodline within her was uncontrollably activated, and golden dragon scales rose from her skin, causing her delicate body to tremble slightly.

The once-powerful dragon race has now fallen to such a state.

Xu Zihuang sensed Wang Qiu'er's unusual mood and refrained from speaking. He stepped off the edge of the cliff, and a golden and silver tentacle carried his body down into the valley below.

Only when you actually enter the valley can you truly appreciate the awe-inspiring sight of so many enormous dragon bones piled together.

The skeletons were enormous, some hundreds of meters long, others exceeding a thousand meters, and all emanating faint energy fluctuations.

Xu Zihuang did not linger here, but instead gradually delved deeper into the search for his goal on this trip.

Before long, an enormous dragon skeleton caught his eye.

This keel skeleton is over a thousand meters tall and is entirely brownish-brown. Unlike other keels, it exudes an unparalleled sense of weight, making the gravity on the ground within a radius of several thousand meters around it significantly greater than in other places.

It has no dragon wings, but its body is extremely robust. Its limbs, in particular, are so thick that they resemble pillars supporting the sky, standing between heaven and earth.

"Mountain Dragon King".

Xu Zihuang's gaze narrowed slightly. From the bones that looked as if they had been cut in two by a sharp weapon, and the unique, heavy aura, he made a judgment instantly.

This is the Mountain Dragon King, one of the Nine Dragon Kings. The Mountain Dragon King's power ranks among the top of the Nine Dragon Kings. He is hailed as the leader of the Nine Dragon Kings who do not roam the mortal world.

"Buzz!" As if sensing Xu Zihuang's presence, a ball of yellow light condensed around the Mountain Dragon King. It was the Mountain Dragon King's dragon soul.

Although it possessed less than one percent of the power of the Mountain Dragon King's true form, this dragon soul was still enormous, exceeding thirty meters in length. Its deep eyes, filled with wisdom, were scrutinizing Xu Zihuang from its elevated position.

Inside the Mountain Dragon King's soul, Xu Zihuang keenly noticed a strange, completely transparent bone. It resembled a vertebra, but was connected to other bones. It had countless cross-sections, and with just a little light, it would become dazzlingly brilliant.

This is the most precious torso soul bone among the six regular soul bones, and it belongs to the Mountain Dragon King.
