Chapter 141: The Flood Dragon King Submits, the Sun Moon Star Continent
The Deep Sea Flood Dragon King knew that without showing sincerity, it would be absolutely impossible to gain Lingxu's trust, but for itself, this was the only hope for survival at the moment.
So what if it became a mount? Didn't the Sea God also have a Demon Soul Great White Shark as a mount!
"I offer my soul to you, and in return, you will gain the allegiance of our Deep Sea Flood Dragon clan, just as Lord Sea God previously gained the allegiance of the Demon Soul Great White Shark."
"I know you are still lacking Spirit Rings, my lord. In this vast ocean, there are still quite a few Spirit Beasts over one hundred thousand years old, and I am willing to take you to find them," the Deep Sea Flood Dragon King said.
Hearing this, Lingxu was actually moved. Although the system would provide him with Spirit Rings as rewards later, the number of Spirit Rings was truly not high, and his Deep Sea Demon Whale King martial soul still required nine Spirit Rings.
Lingxu said: "Deep Sea Flood Dragon, do you know that the Deep Sea Demon Whale King has already had its soul transformed into my Spirit Ring? The number of Spirit Rings I require will not be small."
"Rest assured, my lord. I have lived in this ocean for hundreds of thousands of years; I know of every powerful Spirit Beast!" the Deep Sea Flood Dragon King said.
To become a Spirit Ring meant truly dying.
Surviving was at least better than the Deep Sea Demon Whale King, and this was extremely beneficial for its own clan.
By defecting to the future Sea God, their clan would attain unprecedented prosperity.
Having lived for hundreds of thousands of years, the Deep Sea Flood Dragon King was also incomparably shrewd, and it understood its own value.
Lingxu: "Very well, I will give you this chance."
"Begin!"
The next instant, a faint light emanated from the Deep Sea Flood Dragon King's body, and then a specific ray of light entered Lingxu's body.
Thus, it was considered under his control.
"From now on, you shall be called Long Qi. I hope you may one day evolve into a True Dragon," Lingxu said indifferently.
The next instant, Long Qi's body began to change, subsequently transforming into a young man in his early twenties, though he had suffered severe injuries and was now extremely weak, as if he were about to—
"Thank you, Master!" the Deep Sea Flood Dragon King said somewhat weakly, though he should be called Long Qi now.
"Tell me about your clan, how many members remain, and roughly what their cultivation levels are," Lingxu asked directly.
Long Qi said: "Master, the number of our Deep Sea Flood Dragon clan is actually not large, even fewer than the Deep Sea Demon Whales. Currently, there are fewer than one hundred, with only seventy-six Deep Sea Flood Dragons."
"Besides me, there is one Deep Sea Flood Dragon over two hundred thousand years old, who is also my mate. The remaining twenty-one are between fifty thousand and one hundred thousand years old, and fifty-three are under fifty thousand years old."
"Whatever you need, Master, my Deep Sea Flood Dragon clan is willing to serve you."
Lingxu said: "You should focus on healing your injuries first," and Lingxu took out a ten-thousand-year medicinal herb.
"This is! A Ten-Thousand-Year Blood Spirit Coral Heart?" Long Qi licked his lips; his injuries were truly too severe, and even standing now made it difficult to move his body.
This medicinal herb was obtained by Lingxu from the Hanhai City Lord's treasury, and it could be considered a very rare treasure.
It had miraculous effects for healing Sea Spirit Beasts. Long Qi said: "Master, this is truly too precious. Are you really giving it to me?"
Lingxu said: "It is for you to heal your injuries; otherwise, what use do I have for a crippled dragon?"
"Master, actually I also have many medicinal herbs from the sea. There are many in my treasury, and I will take you to retrieve them when the time comes. Everything I have belongs to you, Master," Long Qi said.
Just at this moment, Lingxu suddenly looked toward the west and said in surprise: "There are actually people here!"
"My lord, this seems quite close to the Sun Moon Continent. I estimate they are people from the Sun Moon Star Continent," the Deep Sea Flood Dragon King said.
"Sun Moon Star Continent? With an extra 'Star'?" Lingxu asked with some confusion. When he was in pursuit, he knew he had been chasing westward, but he hadn't thought about the Sun Moon Continent. After all, this was the world of Douluo Dalu I, and whether the things from Douluo Dalu II existed was still an unknown.
"Master, it is called the Sun Moon Star Continent, there should be no mistake," Long Qi said.
Lingxu thought to himself that it wasn't called the Sun Moon Star Continent in the world of Douluo Dalu II! Could there be some story behind this?
However, looking at it now, the world of Douluo Dalu I might be connected to the world of Douluo Dalu II, meaning that things existing in Douluo Dalu II also existed here.
Thus, Lingxu smiled; then there would be many Spirit Rings in this world available for him to absorb.
Whether it was the Sun Moon Continent or the Sun Moon Star Continent, Lingxu wanted to see what the differences were and if there was Soul Guidance Device technology.
Although he didn't know to what extent Soul Guidance Device technology had developed in this era, it had to be stronger than those so-called hidden weapons.
"Sorry, Tang San, your hidden weapons might become obsolete before they even have a chance to develop."
Two people arrived: a young girl who looked seventeen or eighteen, and a woman who looked to be in her thirties.
A Soul Ancestor and a Spirit Douluo. This female Spirit Douluo could fly, and she was flying on a sword, carrying the young woman toward Lingxu's direction.
"Long Qi, you should enter the space from before to recover. Absorb the Ten-Thousand-Year Blood Coral Heart; you should be able to recover most of your strength," Lingxu said.
"Yes, Master!" Long Qi said.
Swish...
With a movement, Lingxu took Long Qi into the space. The System Space had a designated area and even contained some food and drink.
However, upon entering the space, Long Qi immediately reverted to his flood dragon form.
With his current strength, he could maintain his human form for nine days, but his body was so severely injured that he reverted to his true form immediately upon entering.
After consuming the Ten-Thousand-Year Blood Coral Heart, Long Qi fell into a deep sleep.
Just at this time, the two female Spirit Masters were about to fly up to this peak.
"Sister Luo Yun, let me go back. I don't want to be a princess of a fallen nation," the young woman whispered, weeping.
"Princess, I promised His Majesty that I must ensure your safety. I came to this place when I went to sea in my youth. There is a place to hide in the middle of this mountain peak; the environment is beautiful, and there is water and food to sustain us. We can take refuge here for a while, and after some time, I will go to the continent to take a look."
The young woman said again: "But our imperial capital has not fallen yet, why must we leave?"
"Sigh... Third Princess, His Majesty had no other choice. The Star Empire's Spirit Douluos have all been killed by the combined forces of the Mingyue Empire and the Sunset Empire, and of the thirty thousand Star Soul Guidance troops, fewer than five thousand remain. The fall of the imperial capital is only a matter of time."
"But I don't want to escape like this. My imperial brothers, younger brothers, older sisters, and younger sisters are all there; why let me leave alone?"
"Third Princess, you are not alone. Your second brother and sixth younger brother each have a Spirit Douluo protecting them as they leave."
"The three of you are the most talented in the Star Empire's royal family. You, Third Princess, became a Soul Ancestor at under eighteen years of age, and even your second brother reached the Soul Ancestor level at nineteen. His Majesty is trying to preserve the empire's bloodline by having you escape in three different directions, so there might be a chance."
Their conversation naturally fell into Lingxu's ears.
No wonder it was called the Sun Moon Star Continent; it turned out there were three empires existing on this continent now.
The continent was also named after the three great empires.
The Star Empire, the Mingyue Empire, and the Sunset Empire.
Currently, the Mingyue Empire and the Sunset Empire are joining forces to attack the Star Empire.
Subsequently, within the next six thousand years, the Star Empire vanished, and the Mingyue Empire and the Sunset Empire unified, eventually forming one continent and one empire, which is the Sun Moon Empire.
Without the Star Empire, the name of this continent lost the two characters "Star Empire."
Perhaps this is the history of the Sun Moon Empire.
After the two of them came up, Lingxu also found a place to hide.
Because behind the two, there were others following, more than one person.
Another good show.
And these two women did not seem to have sensed the people pursuing them from behind, but once they reached this high peak, they suddenly felt that something was wrong.
The mountain peak and the trees had all changed.
There was even a scent of blood.
After all, the corpse of the Deep Sea Whale King had fallen here, leaving behind fresh blood.
Given the size of the Deep Sea Whale King, it was enough to change the layout of this mountain.
"Sister Luoyun, what is wrong here?" the Third Princess of the Star Empire asked.
"The aura is wrong; this place is different from when I came before. It seems a powerhouse has been here. This blood is somewhat like..."
The middle-aged woman frowned, but the next moment, she revealed a look of terror and said, "Princess, run! They have caught up; someone is chasing us."
"Want to run? It's not that easy. Not a single person from the Star Empire royal family can be let go."
As the voice fell, several figures flashed by.
On the mountain peak, six tall Spirit Masters appeared.
One could see that some of them were actually equipped with Soul Guidance Devices.
"This is? A handheld Star Soul Guidance Cannon?"
"How could you possibly have these?" the Third Princess looked at two of the Spirit Masters in surprise; these were their Star Empire's unique secret weapons.
"Haha, these were offered up by your Star Soul Guidance First Legion Commander; they are now equipped on our Sun Moon Allied Forces," a tall man said as he walked out.
"Hmph, you two empires are just robbers, jealous that our Star Empire possesses the strongest Soul Guidance Device technology on the continent, as well as abundant resources," the Third Princess said sternly.
"Third Princess, this isn't on us. If you want to blame someone, blame yourselves. Your Soul Guidance technology is becoming increasingly formidable. We two great empires lag too far behind you in such powerful strength. If we let you continue to develop, our two great empires might no longer be your match."
"Of course, the most important thing is your Star Empire's mineral resources, which are so abundant they make one drool. Originally, our two great empires wanted to get along well with you, but your control over resources and technology was too strict—so strict that we couldn't obtain the important resources and technology to develop."
The Third Princess said, "Is this your reason for attacking our empire?"
The tall man nodded and said, "Naturally, that is the case. Should we wait until you have completely grown strong to attack us? Your father's ambition is also great; it is said that his goal is to unify the continent, and he has already begun laying out plans these past two years."
"Therefore, we must strike first. However, you have only been planning for two years, while our two great empires have been planning for twenty years. If you don't lose, who will?"
"So you mean the Imperial Capital has not fallen yet?" the Third Princess asked.
"Soon. Your defensive Soul Guidance Devices are indeed quite formidable, but we are already prepared to launch a total offensive. It will be in three days. Three days from now will be the day your Star Empire is destroyed, and you will be taken back by me to be used as a sacrifice for the siege."
After the tall man finished speaking, a look of triumph appeared on his face.
"The five of you are responsible for capturing the Third Princess. I will deal with this Chen Luoyun. She is merely a Level 81 Spirit Douluo, while my soul power has already reached Level 89. Dealing with you will be easy."
Looking at this Chen Luoyun, the tall man could not help but swallow his saliva.
After all, this Chen Luoyun was not yet forty years old, and her beauty had spread across the continent twenty years ago.
She held a place among the top three beauties of the continent. Although she was nearly forty now, she was still well-maintained and remained as covetable as ever.
Compared to this princess who was not yet eighteen, this Chen Luoyun had more flavor.
"Remember, capture her alive; there can be no mistakes. Bring her to the ship and wait for me. Without my permission, no one is to come find me," the tall man said.
This sentence was, in fact, explaining to everyone what he intended to do.
For these five people, having one Soul Saint and four Soul Emperors to capture a Level 41 Soul Ancestor was truly too easy.
"Sister Luoyun, run quickly. Their target is me. On this vast sea, if you want to escape, he cannot catch you. If I stay, I will definitely drag you down." The Third Princess changed from her previous sadness; her eyes became firm, with a hint of being ready to face death.
All of this was seen by Lingxu, who found it quite interesting.
There was still a long time before the completion of the God Trial; this Sun Moon Continent was worth a visit.
Just at this moment, with a "Boom—", the battle began.
Chen Luoyun actually took out a Soul Guidance Device similar to a grenade from her storage device and threw it in all directions.
However, the other side seemed to have been prepared as well.
"This thing is good, but unfortunately, we do not have the manufacturing method for this Soul Guidance Device."
Several people unleashed their soul skills, almost sealing off the escape route.
If Chen Luoyun were to break out alone, it would be no problem, but it was difficult to bring the Third Princess along.
The Third Princess said, "Our empire's technology will be destroyed before it is ever given to you."
"Sister Luoyun, run quickly, don't worry about me, run!"
They had already made one charge using the Soul Guidance Device, but unfortunately, they were blocked by this Level 89 man.
With six people coordinating, and having support and control, she, a Level 41 Soul Ancestor, was simply a burden.
"Third Princess, I promised His Majesty that I must ensure your safety, unless I am dead," Chen Luoyun said.
"Attack together, no need for more nonsense!" The tall man seemed unable to hold back any longer.
He ordered his subordinates to act together. Someone had already used a control soul skill, and a ring of light fell, directly binding the Third Princess within it.
This was unleashed by a Soul Saint, a Level 78 control-type Spirit Master.
However, just as the ring of light was about to fall, it was shattered by Chen Luoyun with the long sword in her hand.
But with just this move, the Third Princess was taken away, and this tall Level 89 Spirit Douluo also blocked her path.
"Alright, Goddess Luoyun, next is our battle! Goddess, rest assured, my combat power is very powerful and enduring; it is recognized in our empire. I guarantee I will satisfy you!"
