Douluo: Dragon King's Divine Elegy

Chapter 250 Douluo Chess Saint! Niu Tian, ​​who replaced Di Tian as the cosmic warship.

"Owner."

Ah Yin held Niu Tian's soul in her palm and slowly flew over.

Nan Liujing and Gu Yue couldn't help but chuckle as they looked over.

A blue-green dragon soul was being relentlessly whipped by Blue Silver Grass, while Niu Tian transformed into a spinning top, rotating 360 degrees without stopping. If you listened carefully, you could even hear cries of pain.

The soul being whipped is far more severe than the body being whipped; the pain is incomparable to the latter.

“Master, these are the things you asked me to prepare beforehand.”

Ah Yin also opened her other hand, and several items flew out from her palm, slowly growing larger.

On the far left is a ball of clear, golden liquid, about the size of a ping-pong ball. It continuously exudes a heavy, mountain-like aura. When sunlight passes over its surface, it also reveals a solid, deep, dark golden luster. The surrounding space clearly flickers with the luster, producing subtle distortions and anomalies of collapse and falling.

The second item from the right is a crystal-yellow soul ring. Its edge is like Saturn with a ring of stardust flowing around it. Looking inside, you can see intertwined vortexes, like the veins of the earth, which is quite strange.

Further to the right is another cyan-blue soul ring, which looks like a bracelet that has fallen into the deep sea. After being polished by the most subtle sea pressure, it has a deep and dark color that cannot be penetrated by any light. A cyan-blue dragon-shaped halo floats around its edge, and the light and shadow trailing out from its tail presents a strange phenomenon of wind, rain and electricity intertwined.

The fourth item was a blurry image of a giant ape, which was none other than the soul of a Titan.

The fifth and sixth items were two soul bones shaped like arms.

The left arm bone of the Titan Ape and the right arm bone of the Azure Dragon.

Nan Liujing stared at the several pieces of equipment that had dropped from the divine beasts and nodded approvingly: "You did a good job."

Ah Yin smiled gently: "I'm glad you're satisfied."

In fact, Nan Liujing had assigned A Yin a task a long time ago: to collect the equipment dropped by Niu Tian and Titan when necessary, so as to prevent it from being destroyed in battle.

Right now, the Titan Giant Ape's essence blood is ready. This can not only be fused with Yuanen Yehui, but can also be shared with others. It's just that the boost to oneself is not as great as that to a Titan Giant Ape Martial Soul Master.

But it is absolutely the best of the best, and its effects are even stronger than many top-grade medicinal herbs.

Gu Yue asked A Yin, "Where is the essence blood of the Azure Dragon?"

Ah Yin hurriedly said, "Please punish me, Master and Mistress. The essence blood of the Azure Dragon has basically been integrated into its soul bone by itself, and I cannot extract it."

Upon hearing this, Nan Liujing began to examine the Azure Dragon Soul Bone closely: "No wonder these two brothers are of similar strength, yet the aura of this soul bone is much stronger."

Gu Yue suddenly realized, "Niu Tian probably wants to use his own primordial essence to continuously nurture his right arm and elevate it into a true divine artifact. After all, the blessing of a divine artifact to a god is a wonderful surprise. But without the nourishment of immortal spiritual energy, his efforts will be in vain. However, the value of this soul bone is definitely second only to a true divine artifact. With a little nurturing with immortal spiritual energy in the future, it will have a great chance of advancing."

"Senior brother, this is definitely good news for you. As long as you fuse with the soul bone, you will have the opportunity to devour the souls of two people at the same time, allowing your spiritual power, which is already at the peak of the Spirit Domain Realm, to break through to the Divine Origin Realm. You can even take advantage of the opportunity to fuse with the soul bone to activate the bloodline of the Golden Dragon King and allow your physical body to break through as well."

Nan Liujing raised an eyebrow, pondered Gu Yue's words for a moment, and then became interested: "I will start fusing the soul ring and soul bone immediately. Di Tian, ​​I'll leave the task of extracting the dragon tendon to you, but remember not to damage Niu Tian's corpse too much."

Gu Yue asked curiously, "Why is that?"

Nan Liujing looked down at the massive dragon body that had lost its head, his gaze sweeping over Di Tian intentionally or unintentionally: "The bodies of divine beasts are rare. Perhaps they can facilitate future research into soul-guided technology."

Gu Yue was stunned for a moment, not understanding what the connection was between soul guidance technology research and the physical body of divine beasts.

However, when Nan Liujing glanced at him and then revealed a meaningful smile, Di Tian's burly body trembled involuntarily. For some reason, he felt a little scared.

All of this stemmed from the fact that after venturing into the human world, the Demon King became obsessed with human online novels, specifically a science fiction genre. It was said that these novels featured a highly futuristic warship made entirely of animal bodies.

That damned author even thought a dragon's body was the most suitable.

When he saw the Demon King reading this kind of book and even expressing his agreement with the author's views, he beat the Demon King up.

Given the current situation, once the Abyss is resolved, humanity's journey beyond Douluo Star and into the universe will no longer be just a fantasy. In fact, it's highly likely that real beast-shaped warships will appear in the future.

Di Tian even wondered, given the current situation, if his master hadn't met Nan Liujing, would he have become a so-called beast-bodied warship after Nan Liujing was no longer able to defeat human soul masters and was killed?

The thought of his remains being used by humans to build a spaceship made Di Tian feel extremely uncomfortable. The look in his eyes when he looked at Niu Tian's corpse changed from the coldness he showed when facing an enemy to pity.

"If that day ever comes, I can volunteer to become the pilot of the Azure Dragon Warship. Well, after all, I, Di Tian, ​​am the first person to pilot your Niu Tian soaring through the universe, so it wouldn't be an insult to you."

Di Tian thought to himself and nodded silently.

"No~"

Suddenly, a voice filled with shock and anger rang out.

Di Tian looked over and saw Nan Liujing sitting cross-legged on the grass, the blue-green soul ring slowly merging into his body. At the same time, the right arm bone of the Azure Dragon, as well as the souls of Niu Tian and Titan, were also drawn to him, giving the impression that they were being absorbed together.

Titan's soul was still there, but his consciousness was completely gone.

Niu Tian was still conscious and realized what Nan Liujing was trying to do. He panicked and completely lost his composure, but he was suppressed. Like a drunken, incompetent husband, he could only watch helplessly as his soul was violated. His struggles were in vain, and his consciousness gradually became more and more intoxicated, until he lost all senses.

"If you do this, when Tang San returns, he will definitely grind you to dust!"

Niu Tian knew he couldn't escape this calamity, so he forced himself to maintain his last bit of consciousness and uttered harsh words to Nan Liujing.

Nan Liujing said calmly, "Whether Tang San reduced me to ashes or I extracted his soul and refined his spirit, you won't be able to see it anyway, Niu Tian, ​​rest in peace."

Before Niu Tian could say anything more, a dazzling golden light suddenly burst forth from Nan Liujing's body.

A powerful dragon roar emanated from his body, and an aura that surpassed heaven and earth arose spontaneously.

Di Tian's body trembled, and he knelt down on the spot, his blood seemingly freezing.

Gu Yue was unaffected, but a brilliant silver flame flickered on her delicate body. She also sat cross-legged, drawing in the aura of the Silver Dragon King within her body to collide with the aura of the Golden Dragon King's bloodline. At the same time, nine-colored light shone from her towering chest.

It was a crystal that emitted a soft glow. After sensing the auras of two pure dragon kings, it actively released nine-colored dragon energy outwards.

Gu Yue quickly introduced it into his body.

Seeing this, Ah Yin, who was standing respectfully to the side, crossed her jade hands. From beneath her skirt, countless blue silver grasses emerged from the soil, and a gentle breeze containing extremely pure life energy blew slowly.

Gu Yue sensed this change and inwardly praised A Yin's actions, while simultaneously immersing himself in cultivation.

As her breathing became rhythmic and regular, the life energy and the special dragon energy emanating from the Dragon God's Heart were shared throughout her body, and her soul power fluctuations increased at a visible rate. Of course, the one who benefited the most was undoubtedly Nan Liujing.

After spending half an hour fusing the divine-level Azure Dragon Soul Ring, the number of Soul Rings floating on his body officially became nine.

Purple gold, purple gold, purple gold, purple gold, platinum, platinum, platinum, platinum.

And the outermost ring—a cyan-gold soul ring.

A terrifying pressure that could crush space erupted from his body, and his soul power cultivation, which had stopped at level ninety, surged upwards like mercury spilling across the ground.

He easily surpassed the level 95 threshold that limits countless titled Douluo throughout their lives.

Each level beyond Super Douluo presents a tremendous challenge, even more difficult than the combined challenges from level 91 to 95. Yet, despite the ethereal echoes of the void, Nan Liujing's progress did not slow down.

Ninety-six, ninety-seven, ninety-eight.

The momentum of breaking through only stopped when he reached the peak of level 98, just one step away from becoming a quasi-demigod at level 99.

In a sense, we should also thank Gu Yue and Na'er for eating that night; otherwise, relying solely on the upgrade of the divine-level soul ring, we really wouldn't have been able to achieve the terrifying feat of breaking through eight levels in one go.

Nan Liujing remained calm. Then, the azure-green dragon right arm bone quickly adhered to his right arm. Affected by the extremely strong and yang soul power fluctuations, the soul bone seemed to melt and silently seeped into his flesh and blood.

Hiss.

Nan Liujing's right sleeve exploded, and his entire arm, from his wrist to his shoulder, revealed a texture as smooth as jade. Upon closer inspection, the sound of blood flowing beneath his skin carried a strange, dragon-like resonance.

With the intertwining of wind, rain, and electricity, wisps of wind, icy clouds, and even flashing, dazzling electric snakes lingered and never died, making the aura emanating from this arm seem like a real divine weapon, full of immense power capable of shattering mountains and splitting seas.

The soul power that had been stagnating at the peak of level ninety-eight stubbornly took another step upward, and a dazzling radiance emanated from his body.

Level 99, done!

Despite the fusion of soul bones and the advancement in cultivation, Nan Liujing's expression did not relax.

The next moment, the violent roar of the Golden Dragon King suddenly resounded, and a dazzling golden light swirled around his entire body. The essence blood of the Azure Dragon began to tremble uncontrollably, and was then frantically devoured by the Golden Dragon King's bloodline.

The Golden Dragon King's bloodline, having eaten and drunk its fill, quickly provided benefits to Nan Liujing.

Although the backlash from the Golden Dragon King wouldn't directly affect Nan Liujing thanks to the Heavenly Tribulation Pearl, it still clearly demonstrated whether he could absorb it or not.

Previously, Nan Liujing's fusion with the Golden Dragon King's bloodline had been stuck at the fourteenth level. Now, the fifteenth and sixteenth levels of the bloodline have shown signs of fusion.

Nan Liujing seized the opportunity decisively.

Having already achieved the strongest physical body below the god level, he broke through again.

From Di Tian's perspective, every second, a faint, shimmering golden ripple would spread from Nan Liujing's head to his feet.

His life force gradually resonated with the laws of heaven and earth, and the ripples, like a baptism, washed away the marks of the mortal world and imprinted immortal divine patterns on his body.

During this process, the meridians running through the body are quietly tinged with a shimmering glow; every blood vessel chants a joyful dragon's roar; every inch of flesh and blood is like metal that has been chiseled and hammered a thousand times; every bone is like an eternal and indestructible star.

In the world of Douluo Continent, it is possible for mortals to raise their spiritual power to the Divine Origin Realm with great effort, although over tens of thousands of years, very few powerful individuals have accomplished this feat.

However, elevating one's physical body to the level of a priest is unprecedented.

Generally speaking, priests who do not reside in the divine realm can have their lifespan extended to ten thousand years if they are placed in the mortal realm.

Now, Nan Ryujing has reached this level.

"Come again!"

Nan Liujing felt the change in the strength of his body, but he didn't feel excited at all. Instead, he shouted with great authority.

Instantly, Niu Tian and Titan's souls shattered, then flowed down his brow and merged into his sea of ​​consciousness.

The spiritual core that had long been formed seemed to be drawn by something, and a will to look down on the world soared into the sky. A wonderful sense of rhythm began to arise from his body. Nan Liujing seemed to have completely returned to nature and was no longer restricted by the mortal world.

hum~
A clear, resonant sound, like the heavens and earth trembling, rang out.

The spiritual domain of original sin suddenly expanded, instantly enveloping this world. The materialized light and shadow of the seven deadly sins permeated every place, creating distorted scenes everywhere. However, at the core of the domain, a different, intensely righteous scene was presented.

From the Seven Old Demons, Nan Liujing comprehended the spiritual laws that most likely originally belonged to the Seven Deadly Sins Gods. He himself did not covet the existing spiritual laws, but instead created his own exclusive domain of laws.

I came, I saw, I conquered!
The next moment, his body soared into the sky, hovering high above, like an unyielding pillar, unmoved by any winds from east, west, north, or south.

Body and soul ascended together, and Nan Liujing opened his eyes with a blank expression, devoid of joy or sorrow.

Before him, a phantom chessboard seemed to materialize, with each chess piece representing a mortal being manipulated by a god.

On the other side of the chessboard, a young man with long, light blue hair, holding a trident, stood calmly, seemingly waiting for Nan Liujing to decide the next move.

Nan Liujing stared at the young man with long, light blue hair for a moment, then took an unconventional approach. Instead of placing the chess pieces, he grabbed the illusory chessboard and smashed it directly at the wisp of the Sea God's consciousness that he had extracted from Niu Tian's divine soul.

"you!"

Tang San was suddenly shocked and enraged.

"boom."

A tremendous tremor resounded, and Tang San's consciousness burst open like a water-filled balloon being punctured by a needle.

Nan Liujing calmly looked at the Sea God's divine sense dissipating into the heavens and earth: "I didn't expect that you still left a wisp of incomplete divine sense on Niu Tian for positioning. It seems that you are afraid that I will kill Tang Wulin."

A cold, icy wave of divine sense touched Nan Liujing, who smiled nonchalantly.

After all, this wisp of incomplete divine consciousness only possessed Tang San's instinctive reactions.

"Tang San, I'll wait for your return, and then I'll conquer you, and conquer the God Realm!"

"Next time we meet, what hits you on the head won't be a chessboard."
