Douluo Dragon King: Doumu's Blessing, I Am the Star Lord

Upon hearing this, Di Tian became even more puzzled: "With your current cultivation level, if you were to use such an absolutely effective ability on me, even for just a moment, the consumption of your soul power would be far beyond what you could bear. How can you be so calm?"

Qian Gu Xing Ci raised his hand and pointed to the sea of ​​stars around him, his tone calm: "Senior, you may not know this, but the stars will bear most of the consumption for me. I only need to spend a little soul power to activate my soul skills."

As soon as he finished speaking, the power of the stars around him surged once more, and he looked at Di Tian with unwavering determination: "Senior, please accept my final move!"

Before he finished speaking, the Panlong Staff appeared out of thin air in his hand, with four black spirit rings shining brightly on its blade, radiating a powerful aura. At the same time, the phantom of a golden-haired lion-mastiff appeared behind him, roaring to the sky.

Around the phantom, stars converged wildly, gradually transforming into the shapes of the Four Divine Beasts: the Azure Dragon phantom roamed the sea of ​​stars, pulling in countless star clouds to tightly wrap around the Coiled Dragon Staff; the White Tiger shattered star trails, its sharp light surging, piercing through the dark curtain of the Milky Way; the Vermilion Bird spread its wings and soared high, its flames burning across the entire star field, its crimson radiance scorching the endless stars; the Black Tortoise quietly coiled, condensing an incomparably heavy power from ancient star remains, steadily supporting the Coiled Dragon Staff.

The power of the four elements continuously flowed into the Panlong Staff, and on the staff, divine light of four colors—blue, white, red, and black—intertwined, shining brightly and piercing the sky.

"The Four Symbols Return to Their Origin!"

With a sharp shout, Qian Gu Xing Ci gripped the Panlong Staff tightly with both hands, raising it high above his head. Four-colored divine light traversed the starry sky, carrying earth-shattering power as it crashed down, cleaving a streak of light across the entire star field, its power awe-inspiring.

Di Tian's expression finally turned serious, no longer showing any contempt. He slightly raised one hand, which transformed into a jet-black dragon claw, its scales shimmering, carrying a majestic dragon might, and steadily caught the unstoppable blow.

The club and claws clashed with a deafening roar that shook the heavens and the earth, causing the starry sky to reverse and the wind to howl.

The ancient star remained unmoved and unaffected by the impact.

Martial Soul Talent: Tianji Naliu.

By transforming his own star veins into the Tianji Star Valley, he can absorb all external energy impacts and the aftershocks of soul skills, converting them all into his own star power. Not only will he not be injured, but he can also make the star power around him more abundant and plentiful.

A moment later, the impact dissipated, the Zhongtian Ziwei Domain slowly receded, the surrounding starry sky faded away, and it returned to the appearance of an ancient courtyard.

Qian Gu Xing Ci put away the Panlong Staff, bowed again, and said sincerely, "Senior Black Dragon is very powerful. I am ashamed of my inferiority and am completely convinced."

Compared to the Golden-Eyed Black Dragon King, who had existed for eight hundred thousand years, his strength was no different from that of an ant!

Di Tian gazed at Qian Gu Xing Ci with a complex expression, and after a long while, he slowly spoke: "Your talent far exceeds my expectations. Your future is limitless!"

Once Qian Gu Xing Ci grows up, he will be no match for him in the future.

Life is tough, even the heavens sigh!

He paused, then asked, "You just said that the stars would absorb the energy consumption for you. Specifically, how much of the stars' power will help you?"

Qian Gu Xing Ci extended his finger, making a "three" gesture.

Di Tian nodded slightly and murmured, "A 30% reduction in soul power is indeed exaggerated."

"Wrong." Gu Yue quickly stepped forward, took Qian Gu Xing Ci's arm, and corrected her, "It's not a 30% reduction, it's that when Xing Ci uses a soul skill, she only needs to bear 30% of the cost herself."

Di Tian was instantly stunned, his face filled with disbelief—what did he mean by only bearing 30% of the consumption? The stars would bear 70%?

He had lived through the era of the Dragon God and knew very well that the power of the stars was virtually limitless!

He subconsciously looked at Gu Yue, and receiving a signal from her, he finally came to his senses and slowly said, "Alright, the assessment is over. Everyone, come back with me!"

Chapter 16 Starlight Radiant Dragon, This is Your Innate Ability

Di Tian waved his hand, leading the group through several hidden passages until they finally stopped in front of a heavy, secret chamber. The stone door slowly opened, and a surge of immense lightning and light power rushed out, instantly enveloping everyone.

The secret chamber was small, yet its furnishings were extremely simple, with ancient dragon runes carved all over the walls. In the center of the chamber, a soul bone resembling a human right leg bone floated in mid-air. Its base was a lustrous silver-white color, and its surface was covered with fine, needle-like dragon scale patterns. Each small dragon scale shimmered with pearly light, and golden light faintly appeared between the patterns. Silver-purple lightning meandered and flickered between the bone crevices, as if they were alive, weaving together into sacred bolts of lightning that crackled and hissed.

Gu Yue slowly stepped forward, her gaze falling on the soul bone. Her clear, cold voice echoed in the secret chamber: "This is the right leg bone of the 490,000-year-old Starlight Radiant Dragon. The Starlight Radiant Dragon possessed the dual attributes of ultimate lightning and ultimate light. It was on good terms with my ancestors in the Valley of Ten Thousand Beasts, but it perished during the tribulation that lasted for 500,000 years, leaving behind only this soul bone."

She turned to look at Qian Gu Xing Ci, her tone softening slightly: "This soul bone is very suitable for you, and the Xing Ting Yao Guang Long has a gentle nature, so the soul bone has no violent aura. You will not be in danger if you fuse with it."

Looking at the soul bone that exuded a top-tier aura, Qian Gu Xing Ci secretly sighed: Is this the legendary "rich woman's" background?

He can casually produce a top-tier soul bone that's 490,000 years old. Living off a woman doesn't seem so bad after all...

No, this isn't about being a kept man; we call it marrying someone of equal social standing!

A thought flashed through his mind, and Qian Gu Xing Ci no longer hesitated. He found the futon in the center of the secret room, slowly sat down cross-legged, adjusted his breathing, and prepared to absorb the soul bone.

Inside the secret chamber, all was silent, save for the interplay of lightning and golden light emanating from the soul bone. Suddenly, the right leg bone of the Starlight Radiant Dragon, suspended in mid-air, lit up. Its pristine white base shone with an intense luster, and the fine dragon scales stretched out in all their glory. Silver-purple lightning and golden starlight overflowed from the soul bone, like two ethereal ribbons of light, slowly wrapping around Qian Gu Xing Ci's right leg and quietly flowing into his body through his meridians.

"Roar--!"

A resounding dragon roar erupted from the depths of the spiritual sea of ​​the ancient star-telling tales.

A colossal dragon, its body entirely silver and gilded, was soaring freely. Its scales shone like shattered diamonds, each scale reflecting starlight. Its whiskers flowed freely, its eyes were like torches, and its roar resounded throughout the sea of ​​spirits, yet it carried no trace of violence, only a pure resonance of power.

The dragon soul of this Starlight Radiant Dragon, eroded by the passage of time, had long lost its independent consciousness, leaving only its most primal instincts. Sensing the noble starlight and thunderous aura of the Ancient Star Decree, it actively cooperated with the soul bone to merge with its body.

Just as the fusion was progressing smoothly, a gentle and melodious voice suddenly rang out in the sea of ​​consciousness: "Child."

Qian Gu Xing Ci's heart skipped a beat, and he instantly composed himself, his gaze warily fixed on the depths of his spiritual sea—a phantom figure was slowly emerging, its form ethereal, surrounded by a faint aura of heaven and earth, as if it were the embodiment of this world itself. "Who are you?" he asked in a deep voice, bracing himself for danger.

The illusory figure slowly turned around, its tone still gentle: "Visitor from another world, I am the spirit of the Douluo plane. Before you descended upon this continent, a powerful will made a deal with me."

The wariness in Qian Gu Xing Ci's eyes gradually faded. The secrets revealed in the other party's words, as well as the aura emanating from him that subtly aligned with the laws of heaven and earth, were definitely not false, nor could they be faked by an ordinary soul master. He relaxed slightly and asked softly, "Then, senior, what do you want with me? And what exactly is this deal you mentioned?"

The Spirit of the Plane sighed softly, its tone tinged with helplessness and urgency: "Child, you should know my current predicament, shouldn't you?"

"Tang Hao's possession!" Qian Gu Xing Ci blurted out almost immediately.

“That’s right.” The Spirit of the Plane nodded slowly. “He wants me to help you be reborn here and break free from the shackles of the past. And you need to help me get out of my current predicament and protect the Douluo Plane.”

Qian Gu Xing Ci looked troubled and said helplessly, "Senior, it's not that I'm unwilling to help you, it's just that I really can't help you right now. The one who possessed you is a god-level being. There might be hope in the future, but right now, I really can't do it."

"I don't need you to fight against Him now." The spirit of the plane's tone remained gentle. "Child, I only need you to give me some help, some authority that belongs to you."

"Power?" Qian Gu Xing Ci looked completely bewildered.

“My current condition is extremely poor,” the Dimensional Spirit slowly explained. “I need to temporarily borrow your Star Authority and use the power of the celestial sphere to erase the divine consciousness left behind by the Sea God Tang San on Douluo Continent, and at the same time drag Tang Hao into a deep sleep.”

Furthermore, the life core of the Douluo Continent is facing the same predicament as me, and I hope you can lend it a hand in the future.”

Finally, the Spirit of the Plane's tone became extremely solemn, "In the end, I beg you for one thing: do not let the Douluo Plane fall into the hands of the Tang family."

Qian Gu Xing Ci's heart trembled. Looking at the ethereal figure before him, he asked softly, "Senior, do you trust me so much? Aren't you afraid I will disappoint you?"

The Spirit of the Plane chuckled softly, a hint of relief in its voice: "Rather than waiting to die, it's better to take a gamble. I trust the judgment of the being who made the deal with me. Even if we fail in the end, it won't be worse than the current situation."

After a moment of contemplation, a resolute glint flashed in Qian Gu Xing Ci's eyes, and he solemnly said, "Alright."

I sighed inwardly, "Hajiling, you actually went to this extent for Douluo Continent? You really... I'm going to cry!"

After expressing his feelings, he looked troubled and scratched his head, saying, "But senior, how can I grant you authority? I have never learned these things and I don't know how at all."

"This is an innate ability of yours; you don't need to learn it deliberately," the dimensional spirit said gently.

As soon as he finished speaking, Qian Gu Xing Ci subconsciously thought: "Fire Cloud... Authority bestowed by Heaven!"

In an instant, the star power surrounding Qian Gu Xing Ci surged, and his entire demeanor underwent a sudden transformation, as if he had become an emperor who ruled over the stars. His tone was filled with unquestionable majesty and divinity: "Stars, heed my command, and temporarily assume my authority!"

As he finished speaking, the power of the stars began to stir.

The nine celestial bodies shone down their radiance, transforming into the aid of the spirits of the plane.

The Dimensional Spirit, sensing the surging stellar authority around it, said, "Thank you, child."

After speaking, the figure of the dimensional spirit gradually became transparent, eventually turning into specks of light and disappearing into the spiritual sea of ​​the ancient star-telling.

Chapter 17 Tang San's Divine Sense, Engaging in a Fierce Battle with Emperor Tian Xiong Jun

Outside the sealed room,

Leng Yaozhu silently observed the ancient star in the secret room with her mental power, paying close attention to its fusion state.

She noticed something was wrong: "Xingci has entered a deep meditation!"

Gu Yue turned to look at Leng Yaozhu and said softly, "Teacher, you and my mother stay here and guard Xingci. Na'er and I will go to the family ancestral land with my father."

Leng Yaozhu nodded slightly, already understanding in her heart—Gu Yue had mentioned to her long ago that Na'er's abilities had some kind of secret connection with the family heritage of the Valley of Ten Thousand Beasts. This time, taking Na'er to the ancestral land was probably to explore this connection.

What is the connection between multi-elemental control and the Silver Dragon bloodline?

That's so hard to guess!

After they left, Leng Yaozhu pondered. It seemed that the Black Dragon Douluo's strength was even above that of Zhan Tian Douluo Qian Gu Die Ting.

On the other side, Di Tian led Gu Yue and Na'er to another quiet room. The room was furnished in an antique style, isolating it from all outside influences.

As the door slowly closed, Di Tian could no longer suppress his doubts and bowed, asking, "My lord, why did you give that 490,000-year-old Starlight Radiance Dragon Soul Bone to that human? Isn't that creating an enemy?"

Gu Yue walked slowly to the center of the room, her back to Di Tian. Compared to when she faced Qian Gu Xing Ci and the others, her tone was less gentle and more domineering and authoritative: "Di Tian, ​​tell me, is a Dragon God at his peak strong?"

Di Tian was taken aback, not understanding why his master would suddenly ask this, but still respectfully replied, "Naturally, it is unparalleled in the universe."

"Now that you know, what about the aura above the Dragon God?" Gu Yue slowly turned around, a hint of solemnity flashing in her eyes.

"Above the Dragon God?" Di Tian's pupils shrank sharply.

Gu Yue raised her eyes, her gaze profound: "The methods of the being behind the Thousand Ancient Stars are far beyond our imagination. In my opinion, the two ferocious beasts that descended upon the continent a thousand years ago were His doing."

She paused, her tone growing firmer, carrying an undeniable resolve: "Xing Ci will be my Dragon Queen. He is the heir to the Spirit Pagoda, a crucial part of our plan. When the time is right, the Spirit Pagoda will ultimately fall under our control."

As soon as he finished speaking, Di Tian's gaze fell on Na'er, who was standing to the side. The girl had her eyes downcast and her gaze was unfocused, as if she were lost in thought.

Di Tian's heart stirred. "My lord, what about Na'er?"

Upon hearing this, Gu Yue's originally calm silver eyes suddenly gleamed, slowly turning into a noble and cold crimson-purple, and the pressure around her instantly increased. "Di Tian, ​​remember, I am the ruler of all soul beasts. I have my own way of doing things."

She stepped forward, her sharp gaze locking onto Di Tian, ​​and asked, word by word, "Are you questioning my decision?"

Di Tian's heart skipped a beat, and he immediately bowed his head, his tone respectful and urgent, not daring to be negligent in the slightest: "Your subordinate dares not! Please forgive me, Your Majesty."

But human emotions are poison.

Gu Yue slowly raised her eyes, the sharpness in her crimson eyes fading. "Get up. I have inherited the Dragon God's extraordinary wisdom and will not be troubled by personal feelings. I have considered every step of the plan."

She paused, then changed the subject, her gaze landing on Na'er, who was still lost in thought. "The most urgent matter is to obtain the Golden Dragon King's Divine Core. Na'er, according to our previous agreement, you need to help me."

Hearing her own name, Na'er slowly came back to her senses and nodded gently.

Upon hearing this, Di Tian dared not delay for even a moment. He raised one hand, his fingertips gathering dense spatial power, and gently made a sweeping motion. A pitch-black spatial rift instantly appeared, transforming into a stable spatial passage, with faint, dense energy fluctuations visible at the other end.

"My lord, the spatial passage has been opened. Please." Di Tian bowed and led the way, his tone respectful. Gu Yue stepped into the passage first, followed closely by Na'er. Di Tian glanced at the direction of the passage one last time before stepping in as well. The spatial passage slowly closed, and the room returned to silence.

Donghai City, a park.

Tang Wulin, who was waiting for Xie Xie in the park, suddenly fainted and his body swayed precariously.

The golden trident mark between his brows shone brightly.

Tang Wulin, or more accurately Tang San now, opened his eyes, and his pupils changed from jet black to the blue-gold of the ocean.

Sensing the overwhelming killing intent, Tang San was furious.
