Chapter 202: Dragon God Dragon Soul
After a moment, Shi Quan finally regained his composure; the pressure here was such that no one below the rank of Title Douluo could possibly resist it.
Yet the Dragon Valley World restricted entry to Spirit Masters below the fifth ring, while top-tier human powerhouses were unable to enter.
The two factors formed a dead loop; under normal circumstances, unless one was recognized by the Dragon God, it was absolutely impossible to have a chance to pass through this outer layer of seven-colored mist.
But they happened to encounter a monster like Shi Quan: one body with three souls, possessing three martial souls, and not only did each martial soul have four soul rings attached, but the age of every soul ring could be called the limit.
The Spirit Soul Martial Soul, with its pure mental attribute, gave Shi Quan mental power that surpassed ordinary people.
The Earth Martial Soul, with its heavy, all-bearing earth attribute, gave Shi Quan resistance to elements and defensive power that could be called extreme.
The Blue Silver Emperor Martial Soul, with its extreme Life Attribute, combined with the defensive power of the Earth Martial Soul, allowed Shi Quan's pressure-resistance ability to be maxed out.
In other words, in this world right now, apart from the Silver Dragon King who possessed the bloodline of the Dragon God, he was the only existence with a chance to traverse this seven-colored mist and enter the valley-within-a-valley that was the Dragon Tomb.
Now, with every step Shi Quan took forward, he could feel terrifying crushing forces coming from all directions; these crushing forces would not only compress the surface of Shi Quan's body but also squeeze his internal organs.
It would be better if he had Internal Energy for protection, but due to the suppression of the Dragon Valley World, Shi Quan was currently unable to call upon his Internal Energy at all.
A mere sliver of Human Emperor Might directly neutralized the mental oppression brought by the surrounding mist, and the physical oppression was also effectively alleviated.
The Human Emperor had always been fearless, upholding the philosophy that man can conquer nature, neither bowing to heaven nor revering gods.
A true Human Emperor was always one of great breadth of mind, great perseverance, and great wisdom; those who could be called Human Emperor were all supreme beings who led the human race to its peak.
The Dragon God Dragon Soul had its eyes tightly shut, yet it held its head high and proud, its entire body radiating an indescribable aura.
Even though he had prepared himself mentally, the moment he saw the Dragon God Dragon Soul clearly, Shi Quan still could not help but feel shocked and horrified in his heart.
His current self was simply incomparable to a true Human Emperor.
The Dragon Spine Xuanyuan in his hand felt Shi Quan's conviction, and its luster became even more dazzling.
Human Emperor Bone!
Moving downward, before he knew it, Shi Quan had already traveled nearly a hundred meters through the seven-colored mist.
There was not the slightest fear in Shi Quan's eyes; the Dragon Spine Xuanyuan in his hand and the Dragon Spear behind him both radiated dazzling golden light, and with every step forward, he felt an incomparably exhilarating sense of conquest in his heart.
Passing through the seven-colored light mist, Shi Quan felt his vision blur, and he saw a giant dragon—or to be precise, a massive dragon soul.
Compared to the Dragon God's vast body, he felt smaller than an ant.
Seeing the scene beneath the mist becoming clearer and clearer, Shi Quan knew the obstruction of the seven-colored mist was about to dissipate, and what he would face next was the Dragon God Dragon Soul.
Therefore, Shi Quan could only rely purely on his body's super-strong pressure-resistance ability to endure it head-on.
At this moment, Shi Quan seemed to feel a portion of the Human Emperor Might within the Dragon Spine; the Imperial Might manifested behind him, transforming into a golden phantom that dyed the surrounding seven-colored mist with a faint golden halo.
That dragon soul was twice as large as the Mountain Dragon King, its entire body shimmering with seven-colored light, and even its scales were seven-colored in shape. They looked irregular, and each piece seemed to have a different shape, yet they were so harmonious, as if inlaid with countless gemstones.
Shi Quan looked down at the Dragon Spine Xuanyuan in his hand, a look of surprise flashing in his eyes; he had ultimately underestimated the power of this Dragon Spine—this was the true Dragon Spine, the true Human Emperor Bone!
There was still a great deal of potential within the Dragon Spine that had yet to be discovered; according to the current situation, the true power of the Dragon Spine would only manifest under specific circumstances.
Because what he was facing now was the pressure of the God Realm's strongest God King—the Dragon God.
The peerless, indomitable domineering intent within this sliver of Human Emperor Might was enough for Shi Quan to contemplate for a long time.
Shi Quan looked downward; influenced by the seven-colored mist rising around his body, everything below was blurry, but the determination in his eyes had never changed.
In his Sea of Consciousness, a domineering, peerless, and indomitable golden phantom also emerged, almost instantly isolating the surging oppressive aura.
The Sacred Dragon Eight Spears behind him also seemed to be affected by the Dragon Spine; they stopped trembling, and as the halo they emitted intertwined with the seven-colored mist, the Sacred Dragon Eight Spears were unexpectedly dyed with a faint seven-colored halo.
The moment he saw the Dragon God Dragon Soul, Shi Quan could feel the power within the Sacred Dragon Eight Spears beginning to fluctuate violently, as if in fear, yet also as if in longing.
Shi Quan let out a long breath, continued downward, and slowly landed.
The moment he landed, the Dragon God's might surged again; even with the Human Emperor Might, Shi Quan could not help but let out a muffled groan, the blood and Qi within his body surged, and a trace of blood spilled from the corner of his mouth.
"As expected of the Dragon God." Shi Quan wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, his eyes burning as he looked at the dragon soul right before him.
At Shi Quan's arrival, the Dragon God Dragon Soul did not move in the slightest, still standing quietly there, standing in the center of this valley, its body wreathed in seven-colored light.
"It seems the Dragon God's dragon soul is merely pure dragon soul power and lacks consciousness; though thinking about it, that's normal, as the Dragon God's good and evil consciousnesses have already transformed into the two great Golden and Silver Dragon Kings."
Shi Quan took a deep breath and slowly walked toward the Dragon God Dragon Soul, stopping at a distance of less than three meters. After a moment of hesitation, he controlled the Sacred Dragon Eight Spears behind him to extend and make contact with the dragon soul. His heart instantly became tense.
This was the Dragon God Dragon Soul, and the core of the Dragon God Dragon Soul was the Dragon God Heart. To obtain the Dragon God Heart, the Dragon God Dragon Soul had to be dealt with; it was right before his eyes, so no matter how dangerous, he had to try, didn't he?
With this thought in mind, Shi Quan no longer hesitated.
The moment the Sacred Dragon Eight Spears touched the Dragon God Dragon Soul, the entire set of Sacred Dragon Eight Spears trembled violently, followed by a buzzing sound that rang out and instantly amplified; the massive Dragon God Dragon Soul seemed to come alive.
A passionate dragon roar resounded throughout the entire Dragon Valley!
Almost in an instant, all the dragon souls wandering in the Dragon Valley prostrated themselves on the ground, and all the dragon bones within the Dragon Tomb seemed to have been awakened, trembling slightly as if struggling to stand up.
Zhu Zhuqing, Ye Lingling, and Dugu Yan, the three women at the edge of the Dragon Tomb, also heard this passionate dragon roar; their faces instantly turned deathly pale, and they collapsed to the ground, their consciousnesses nearly fading into a coma.
"What on earth is this sound?"
"Could Xiao Quan have encountered some danger?"
"Don't worry, Xiao Quan is steady in his actions, he will definitely be fine!"
The three women looked toward the depths of the Dragon Tomb in terror.
The Dragon Tomb valley-within-a-valley.
Shi Quan only felt as if he had been instantly torn apart by a blood-red giant sword that seemed to connect heaven and earth; the incomparable pain made him scream out loud.
His figure was also sent flying backward as if having suffered a heavy blow, and the Sacred Dragon Eight Spears behind him shattered inch by inch, slamming fiercely against the edge of the inner Dragon Valley.
After spitting out a mouthful of blood, he lost consciousness, but before losing consciousness, he seemed to have heard the system's voice once again.
After an unknown amount of time, Shi Quan slowly woke up.
"Hiss!"
Just as he regained consciousness, the intense pain made Shi Quan gasp.
"Boss/Xiao Quan." The anxious voices of Xiaomeng and Shouhe came from his mind.
"I'm fine." Shi Quan leaned weakly against the stone wall; a slight movement tugged at the injuries within his body, and another mouthful of blood sprayed out.
"As expected of the power of the supreme god."
Shi Quan had no energy to complain; his current injuries had reached an unprecedented level, his sea of consciousness was torn, and there was not a single intact bone or muscle in his entire body; the only reason he was still alive, aside from the strength of his own constitution, was partly due to that Ten Complete Great Replenishment Pill from before.
The power of a god is something ordinary people cannot withstand; even Tang Chen, a level 99 Limit Douluo, ultimately died because his broken body could not withstand the Asura God Power.
Not to mention the Dragon God Power, which is even more powerful than the Asura God Power.
"I really shouldn't have courted death. With such severe injuries, I don't know when I'll be able to recover." A bitter smile could not help but appear at the corners of Shi Quan's mouth.
He hadn't gained any benefits, but instead brought trouble upon himself.
If he had soul power, recovery would be easier, but without soul power, the time required for recovery would increase exponentially.
Shi Quan was now in a very awkward predicament; he was temporarily trapped here.
In his current state, even moving was a struggle, let alone climbing this thousand-meter cliff.
Just as Shi Quan was pondering a countermeasure, he suddenly thought of something; right when the Sacred Dragon Eight Spears touched the Dragon God's dragon soul, the system seemed to have prompted something.
Thinking of this, Shi Quan hurriedly checked the system logs.
"Ding, congratulations to the host for touching the world's core Source Power, triggering the Source Treasure Chest; it has been opened for the host, congratulations to the host for obtaining Samsara Power!"
"There's such a treasure chest? If I hadn't come to the Dragon Valley, would this treasure chest have been impossible to trigger forever?"
"And Samsara Power? What is this thing?"
Looking at the records in the log, Shi Quan curiously opened the System Space, his gaze falling on the very last slot.
A black and white intertwined ring flowed continuously; with just one glance, Shi Quan had the illusion of staring directly into an abyss, and yet also staring directly into light; the two lights intertwined, seemingly carrying endless changes and charm; clearly, Shi Quan could see the specific appearance of the black and white ring, yet for some reason, he could not remember its specific appearance, and did not even know how to describe it.
"What a strange feeling." Shi Quan's gaze fell on the introduction below.
Samsara Power: A special world root Source Power possessing the power of reincarnation.
Note: The cycle of life and death, the destruction and creation of the universe and worlds—what are these if not a form of reincarnation?
