Chapter 136
Furious Yuyuan Zhen staggered up from the high platform deep within, azure soul power swirling around; that mighty soul power was like suffocating hands, tightly gripping the enemy's throat, he stood upon the shattered throne, throwing his head back and letting out a long howl——
Yu Yuanzhen (Jade Origin Shock)
"Old geezer." Qian Renxue widened her eyes, as if losing her soul, slowly murmuring her title for Yuyuan Zhen.
But she is the Eight-Winged Angel of the Spirit Hall; the angel's holy core began to surge turbulently, constantly trembling every cell of Qian Renxue, the gathered brilliant-gold soul power was about to erupt——
Yuan Yuanzhen (Origin Origin Shock) (if we keep)
Shenwei Daitou (Divine Might Earth-Bearer)
She shouted loudly, the bluish-purple draconic person finally ceased its venting, lowered its head and saw Qian Renxue beneath the throne; the soul bone armor on her body looked far more complete than his draconic transformation.
Yuyuan Zhen covered his eyes with his right claw, which was covered in bluish-purple dragon scales, and burst out laughing like a madman.
"Hahaha——good——you did well——you are more like a dragon than anyone!!!"
Soaring Mountain (Soaring Mountain)
The soul power on his body extended with Yuyuan Zhen's movements, the azure soul power light pillar shot up into the sky.
Contest Mountain (Contest Mountain)
Mist Mountain (Mist Mountain)
Following, Yuan Yuan Zhen roared the incantation of the True Dragon Nine Crowns; with his dragon's roar, the mountains—He Shan, Gu Shan, Teng Shan, Ba Shan, Dou Shan, Lan Shan, Cui Luan Shan, and Zi Dian Shan—each shot a brilliant, dazzling light pillar toward the sky, and eight oddly shaped soul bone fragments surged into his body.
Purple Lightning Mountain (Purple Lightning Mountain)
"True Dragon Nine Crowns? What on earth happened inside the sect's main hall? Why would the sect leader bring out the family's biggest trump card?"
Yujing Cheng said calmly, "It's not the nine crowns, but the eight crowns; the most important and strongest 'Snow Jade Crown' was not used by the sect leader, but even so, the eight crowns are extremely formidable; the sect leader is already a Titled Douluo, and with the eight crowns he has become the strongest soul master in the world."
The Snow Jade Crown differs from the other eight crowns; it not only demands extremely high quality of the user's soul power, but also requires the user to burn their life force when activated.
"The sect leader and Tianlin are merely sparring; surely the sect leader wants Tianlin to witness what a true peak powerhouse is."
But this cost is perhaps too great? A flicker of worry crossed Yujing Cheng's eyes; even though the other eight crowns do not endanger the user's life like the Snow Jade Crown does, this method of forcibly boosting power still inflicts significant damage on the body, and an ordinary soul master's physique simply cannot withstand the power of the True Dragon Nine Crowns.
After a single eruption, the body will retain permanent damage; humans are ultimately not dragons, even if Yuyuan Zhen is a Titled Douluo, it's the same.
Qian Renxue inside the hall did not stop Yuyuan Zhen from merging the true dragon fragments; she wanted the True Dragon Nine Crowns, but it was not essential to obtain them.
Blue Lightning Overlord Dragon Soul Master (Blue Lightning Overlord Dragon Soul Master)
Yuyuan Zhen's momentum rose steadily; the eight fragments of ancient true dragon soul bones directly granted him a physique of true dragon level, raising his physical strength to an unimaginable degree; now, relying solely on his bodily strength, he is immune to any physical or energy attacks from ordinary soul masters below rank ninety.
Nine soul rings emitting a terrifying aura circled around Yuyuan Zhen's body; under the bolster of the True Dragon Eight Crowns, their originally normal colors all turned into nine black rings! The edges of the last three soul rings were crimson like blood, each reaching an age of ninety-nine thousand nine hundred ninety-nine years!
The aura emanating from Yuyuan Zhen's body has become extremely terrifying; the fluctuations of his soul power began to soar, undoubtedly reaching the limit of rank ninety-nine.
Soul Power (Soul Power) (glossary)
Soul Skill (Soul Skill) (glossary)
Yuyuan Zhen let out a roar, his whip-like dragon tail lashed sideways, his dragon foot stomped and shattered the ground, pulling out a string of lightning shadows; he swiftly arrived before Qian Renxue, extending a dragon claw condensed with vast soul power to grasp her wings behind her.
the Spirit Hall (Spirit Hall) (glossary)
A grating pulling sound rang out; as Yuyuan Zhen exerted force, the sharp scales on Qian Renxue's wings behind her rubbed against his dragon claw, producing sparks.
Golden Holy Sword (Golden Holy Sword)
A violent tearing sensation came from behind; Qian Renxue instantly flew into a rage, the light from her rear wings blazed forth, and the intense holy aura transformed into an unmatched overwhelming pressure that enveloped Yuyuan Zhen.
Suppression Seal (Suppression Seal)
Taking advantage of this brief moment, the red second soul ring on Qian Renxue's body lit up—Void Wings! Her body became somewhat illusory; the wings that Yuyuan Zhen had grasped in his hand passed through as if they had no substance, and her own speed increased by three hundred percent, allowing her to successfully dodge his dragon claw.
After absorbing the True Dragon Eight Crowns, Yuyuan Zhen's speed was incredibly fast; Qian Renxue had to employ her second soul skill just to keep up with his movements.
Qian Renxue's movements were extremely smooth; as she passed through Yuyuan Zhen while her body was intangible, she instantly turned solid again, her rear wings thrusting outward to both sides and striking his shoulders; this strike was instantaneous and withdrawn, the ultimate holy energy on her wings colliding with the lightning energy innate to Yuyuan Zhen, which clung to him like heavenly thunder.
The impact force generated by the collision was not too strong; it could not cause much harm to Yuyuan Zhen, but being caught off guard also made his feet stagger a little.
At that moment, not far beneath Yuyuan Zhen's feet, a golden halo appeared silently; since it had not appeared under his feet when it first showed up, Yuyuan Zhen himself did not notice it, but Qian Renxue's impact caused him to stagger, and he naturally fell into that golden halo.
Instantly, golden chains surged up from beneath his feet, tightly binding him; at this moment, lightning and the True Dragon Nine Crowns became utterly useless, unable to block the invasion of that golden light.
The ultimate holy attribute power erupted fully, suppressing the soul power fluctuations within Yuyuan Zhen's body.
Yuyuan Zhen was too arrogant, thinking that using the True Dragon Nine Crowns would defeat her, but he understood nothing of Qian Renxue's soul skill.
The soul skill Void Wings is rarely used by Qian Renxue, but whenever she employs it, the effect is truly excellent; now Qian Renxue is like Kamui Obito.
Yuyuan Zhen is like Obito encountering Minato; he doesn't grasp the nature of the ability, and furthermore Yuyuan Zhen doesn't like to think, fighting with pure brute force, which is why Qian Renxue managed to trick him.
No matter how strong you are, the Void Wings opening move is followed immediately by a suppressive seal; you cannot escape yin, the seal of holy power is extremely solid, and moreover her martial soul bears divine endorsement.
Although Yuyuan Zhen's combat power has reached rank ninety-nine, he cannot utilize the momentum of heaven and earth, so he cannot break free immediately in a short time.
Yuyuan Zhen felt his whole body tighten, unable to move at all; he desperately exerted his soul power to break free, but the chains were extraordinarily solid, and even relying on his physique he would need at least three seconds to break loose.
Qian Renxue wielded the holy sword; Yuyuan Zhen's armpits lacked dragon scale protection, and although the True Dragon Nine Crowns and the defensive power added by thunder were not bad, the holy sword's holy power forcibly opened a gap amidst the thunder surrounding his body, and scorching energy instantly surged into Yuyuan Zhen's body. Yuyuan Zhen grunted, the thunder around him instantly dissipated, and strands of golden flame ignited on his body.
Qian Renxue's body spun at high speed, a pair of wings lashed him with lightning-like blows a hundred times; each strike lifted his body slightly off the ground, each wingbeat raised the holy flame on Yuyuan Zhen a little more, and with the final lash he was flung away.
During Qian Renxue's high-speed spin, her aura rose to its peak; she gripped the golden holy sword with both hands and descended from the heavens, striking down fiercely.
At that moment the sky seemed to split open, a brilliant golden light descended from heaven, carrying unmatched pressure as it struck Yuyuan Zhen's dragon-transformed shoulder.
At the instant he was struck, it was precisely the moment Yuyuan Zhen burst the golden chains, yet he could no longer react at all, and his whole body instantly turned golden.
While swinging her sword, Qian Renxue coldly said, 'Do you understand now?'
"I am not a dragon, merely a villain cloaked in an angel's skin."
Yuyuan Zhen stared blankly at the cold-blooded child before him, his eyes turned gold; her appearance was exactly as before, but her gaze was utterly different from that of the once proud, shy, and easily angered dragon girl—she was his little dragon, yet not his granddaughter.
She refused to acknowledge herself, saying, 'I am the greatest evil in this world! I am the ultimate villain chosen by this world; the sins I bear should make anyone furious.'
The golden light emitted by Qian Renxue brought the concept of a slash onto Yuyuan Zhen's body, carving a massive golden sword gash from his left shoulder down to his abdomen.
"Someone as wicked as I am does not deserve to be your dragon girl."
Brilliant golden light swept across the entire hall; Qian Renxue tried to hide herself, but her figure could not be concealed, for her martial soul inherently represents the purest light—whether in ancient texts or in the praises of the Spirit Hall, the angel's holy sword is forever accompanied by radiant light that illuminates all darkness.
Yet the wielder of the golden holy sword is the villain chosen by the world; in the original work Qian Renxue is a villain, and the present Qian Renxue remains a villain.
However, she is truly a villain.
You
Yu Yuan Zhen muttered along with the dragon's roar, his voice filled with unfathomable astonishment, the angelic holy sword that continuously devoured Qian Renxue's soul power began to burst forth with even more blinding golden light. "Dragon is the most selfish, most greedy, most craving for power existence. This is what you once said, right?"
Qian Renxue's golden holy sword pressed against Yu Yuan Zhen's abdomen, she opened her mouth somewhat dryly to speak, her voice becoming somewhat sharp from overexertion.
In an instant, Yu Yuan Zhen suddenly recalled something, his pupils, tinged gold, trembled slightly—
Boom—
Like a flood, the golden sword light heavily continued to slash downward, in an instant sweeping past his side, instantly cleaving the castle behind Yu Yuan Zhen in half, revealing the sea behind the sect's main hall.
"You old fool, you've raised a creature that is the most selfish, most greedy, most power‑craving, far surpassing the evil dragon category—a true villain!"
Yu Yuan Zhen stood straight in the golden light, his eyes reflecting an angel wielding a holy sword.
It is truly as holy as a hero who slays an evil dragon, but this angel wielding a holy sword claims to be the greatest evil. Yu Yuan Zhen widened his eyes, until another sword slash struck his chest, and only then did he suddenly come to his senses.
The monster covered in dragon scales split its mouth wide open, laughed silently, your body has been etched with the dragon's pattern, you have become a dragon, my child.
Fine thunder was shattered by the golden light, gentle starlight shone upon the two of them, the ferocious dragon scales on Yu Yuan Zhen's body turned into specks of blue soul power light, slowly fading away.
The ferocious humanoid monster gradually reverted to human form; not long after, an old man with two golden sword marks on his front slowly appeared before Qian Renxue.
His body had been severely wounded, blood covered his front, he didn't have much time left.
Yu Yuan Zhen had great talent, so from childhood he began to bear the family's burden; the glory of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect was almost entirely forged by his own hands. From childhood education he was told that the sect was everything to him, but at the end of Yu Yuan Zhen's life he wanted to make a decision that was the worst possible for someone in the position of sect leader.
"My child, pass."
Afterwards the sound was too faint, Qian Renxue couldn't hear clearly; she merely said coldly, "I am not your child, I will destroy the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect."
But seeing Yu Yuan Zhen's loving gaze, Qian Renxue still stepped forward.
Yu Yuan Zhen's face bore an inexplicable smile; he first tidied Qian Renxue's blue sash piece by piece, then gently placed his hand on her forehead. Eight fragments of soul bone emitting terrifying soul power fluctuations were peeled away by him, slowly emerging from his hand, and finally condensed by Yu Yuan Zhen's soul power into a crown like carved ice crystal.
However, the center of this crown was missing a piece, attesting to its incompleteness.
In Qian Renxue's astonished gaze, Yu Yuan Zhen wore a solemn expression, as if performing something of utmost importance, slowly placing the ice crystal crown from his hand onto her head.
"My dragon girl, wear your crown properly."
"Idiot."
Facing the dragon girl's rebuke, Yu Yuan Zhen merely smiled; he seemed to be anticipating the future of the child before him, he coughed, blood continuously spilling from his mouth, wearily saying, "Grandfather knows your dream, you want to be the strongest in every aspect, but what true strength really is, even grandfather does not know."
Grandfather only hopes you do not harm Tianheng. He is grandfather's last continuation; hand over the remaining snow jade crown to him.
Let him chase after you; from now on, you are his sister, his last relative, his personal jade celestial qilin.
Qian Renxue fell silent for a moment, her eyes filled with a piercing coldness; she said coldly, "I am truly a genuine villain, you so readily entrust your grandson to me, I have long coveted the strongest snow jade crown."
Probably because he was about to die, Yu Yuan Zhen's gaze became slightly unfocused.
Upon hearing Qian Renxue's words, Yu Yuan Zhen showed no trace of worry; instead, he gently embraced the dragon girl before him, his blood staining her clothes and sash red, feeling the dragon girl's warmth.
Like a brief return of light before death, Yu Yuan Zhen's voice regained some vigor, his tone carrying a hint of a smile: "Who made you fear grandfather? Because you have already begun to love grandfather, you are my dragon girl."
. is. grandfather.
