Douluo: Dragon King's Divine Elegy

Chapter 46: Special Soul Bone from Devil Island
As he stepped onto the Sea God Island, before he had time to observe the surrounding environment, a hint of surprise appeared in Nan Liujing's eyes.

A light golden mist, faintly visible, flowed from under his feet, driving the soul power in his body to operate. This almost meant that the soul power was cultivating itself all the time.

"It is worthy of being one of the places with the strongest natural energy in the continent. Even ordinary people living here can prolong their lives." Letting go of the disciple's shoulders, Leng Yaozhu looked around. Everywhere he looked, there were dense ancient forests.

The light golden mist was like a formation, isolating one area after another. The mental power released to spy on it fell into oblivion and could not cause any ripples.

There are only forest paths paved with blue-gray stone slabs and wooden signs standing beside them, guiding passers-by where to go.

Yali smiled and walked into a forest path: "Follow me."

Leng Yaozhu and Nan Liujing followed silently. As they walked, they saw a large number of shrubs with blue-green leaves on both sides of the stone path. Even Leng Yaozhu, who was knowledgeable, was a little surprised. "You guys at Shrek Academy actually have Water Soul Trees?"

The Water Soul Wood is an extremely special wood-attributed spiritual creature that needs to rely on the purest water source that is infected by vitality in order to grow. It takes a hundred years for it to produce a kind of energy every day that can greatly enhance the cultivation of spiritual power.

In other words, the difference between top-grade ingredients like Lingyun Sea Urchin and water soul wood is that if you eat too much of it, you will develop resistance to it. However, water soul wood is different. As long as you passively absorb spiritual energy during cultivation, you can continue to cultivate until you reach the Lingyuan realm before it loses its effect.

Yali smiled gently, "We can only grow Water Soul Trees because of the Ancient Golden Tree. Speaking of which, the spiritual energy produced by these Water Soul Trees is provided to the students in the Inner Court. As long as you become a member, you can obtain it unconditionally."

Leng Yaozhu raised her eyebrows slightly. With her observation skills, she had already seen that Yali had something else in her words.

She glanced at her own disciple, but saw a faint smile on Nan Liujing's lips.

Leng Yaozhu nodded with satisfaction.

As expected of my disciple, he also realized that there was something wrong with Yali's behavior.

Yali walked in front, seemingly leading the way casually, but she kept showing off some of the benefits of Poseidon Island.

If he was really in a hurry to hand over the soul bone and the golden ancient tree baptism, why would he prolong the time and walk slowly?

As a dignified Holy Spirit Douluo, he can naturally ignore the isolation formation on the Sea God Island.

Finally, after passing through an even thicker fog area, it was as if the clouds had parted to reveal the light, and a truly towering ancient tree came into view.

It would take dozens of people to hug the trunk together. The bark, weathered by thousands of years, had a texture as intricate as runes, faintly emitting a faint glow.

The treetops block out the sun, and every leaf looks like it is made of gold. When the breeze blows, you can clearly see countless golden points falling, like a continuous drizzle, blending into every corner of the island.

Right below this ancient tree, a wooden house was carved out, with a plaque with the words "Poseidon Pavilion" hanging on it.

Leng Yaozhu's gaze fell on a young man who looked to be in his twenties standing outside the wooden house. He was elegant and gentle, with a faint smile on his lips.

It looks ordinary, but it is the regret that I couldn't get when I was young.

Sky-lifting Douluo, Yun Ming!
Yali still had her own little thoughts and secretly glanced at the changes in Leng Yaozhu's expression, but she was disappointed again.

Leng Yaozhu looked calm when she saw Yun Ming again. She said straight to the point, "Where is the soul bone?"

This was fine. Yun Ming breathed a sigh of relief, and the awkwardness in his heart dissipated: "I will naturally not break my promise of a soul bone, but I need this child to make a choice."

Leng Yaozhu frowned: "What choice?"

Yun Ming said: "One of the two soul bones, a thunder soul bone and a destruction soul bone. Choose one. But the latter needs to be tested."

Destruction attribute? Test?

Nan Liujing's heart moved. He remembered that Shrek Academy controlled a Devil's Island, where the Shrek Seven Devils from a thousand years ago were hiding.

About two thousand years ago, fragments of destruction and life fell from the sky. The Federation and Shrek Academy sent these seven people up there, but they did not expect that the power of the fragments of destruction would tear their bodies apart, while the energy of the fragments of life protected their souls. From then on, they stayed there forever and turned into seven old demons.

Shrek Academy in all generations would send students out for training, and Tang Wulin and others had originally gone.

In fact, from ancient times to the present, the only recorded soul beast with destructive attributes in the human world is the Purple Brilliant Sky-Destroying Dragon, which died an unknown amount of time ago.

Could this soul bone be related to the Purple Brilliant Heaven-Slaying Dragon? Is its origin also connected to Devil Island? Otherwise, Yun Ming wouldn't have mentioned the word "test."

Leng Yaozhu also became a little serious because of the destructive attribute. She said in a serious tone: "I need to see the real thing first."

Yun Ming did not refuse, turned around and walked into the Sea God Pavilion: "Follow me."

"Please." Yali gestured.

Everyone walked into the Poseidon Pavilion together. It was not as luxurious and exquisite as advertised by the outside world. On the contrary, the whole hall looked particularly simple.

The square table in the middle of the hall made Nan Liujing stop for a moment. Ten thousand years ago, people of Huo Yuhao's generation might have sat there to hold meetings.

Time flies and things and people change.

Coming to the deepest part of the hall, Yun Ming stretched out his hand and touched the wall of air. In an instant, strands of light power dissipated and turned into a beam of strong light, covering everyone.

The world changed, and when Nanliujing's vision became clear again, what came into view was a beautiful valley.

"This is the inner space of the Golden Ancient Tree. In the past ten thousand years, you are the only two non-members of the Shrek Sea God Pavilion who have entered it." Yun Ming continued to lead the way, walking into a very ordinary wooden house on the side of the valley. Inside, the floorboards creaked, and a faint fragrance drifted in through the open window.

There were no other decorations inside the wooden house, except for a wooden cabinet that looked like a Chinese medicine cabinet placed at the innermost part of the house.

Rich life elements seeped out from the wooden cabinet, which was most likely made from branches of an ancient golden tree.

Yun Ming grabbed in the air, and two small cabinets popped out. A stream of light flew out of each of them and hovered in the air.

The golden light lingering on the surface dissipated, revealing the appearance of two soul bones.

A piece of deep blue, densely interwoven electric patterns, floating light flowing, as if filled with terrifying explosive waves.

The other piece was purple-black and ordinary, looking no different from a stone that looked like a head, and there was no special aura emanating from it. It was difficult to be sure that it was actually an extremely rare soul bone.

The moment this thing revealed its true form, Nan Liujing felt as if he had been electrocuted, and his pupils shrank slightly.

He clearly felt that the Heavenly Tribulation Pearl was moving unusually.

Another opportunity coming?
But what surprised Nan Liujing was that the movement was fleeting, like an illusion, catching him off guard.

what happened?

This is the first time that the Heavenly Tribulation Pearl has encountered such a situation.

Leng Yaozhu said with a feeling: "Put the soul bones directly in the wooden cabinet. It seems that you are very confident that this place will not be invaded."

Yali smiled faintly and said, "To invade here, one must kill all the elders of the Sea God Pavilion in one go."

"No one can do this except God."

Leng Yaozhu did not refute, but asked: "Tell me about the characteristics of these two soul bones."

Yun Ming looked up at the soul bone and said, "The soul bone on the left was produced by a 70,000-year-old thunder beast. It is also the oldest thunder-attribute soul bone we have preserved."

"As for the soul bone on the right, it's unclear what kind of soul beast it came from. We speculate that it originated from a long-extinct Purple Brilliant Sky-Destroying Dragon. The age is unknown. Even if we use all the testing methods, we can't determine the exact time."

"I don't need to explain the characteristics of the Thunder Beast; you already understand its characteristics. As for this soul bone, which is suspected to be from the Purple Brilliant Sky-Slaying Dragon," Yun Ming said solemnly, "After bringing it back from Devil Island and undergoing thousands of years of testing, we discovered that in order to fuse it, we must obtain sufficient attribute affinity. As long as the affinity is high enough, even an infant can be fused."

Leng Yaozhu suddenly realized, "So this is the real reason why you send a team to Devil Island every once in a while?"

The Spirit Pagoda was also involved in the Devil Island incident back then, but Yun Ming wasn't surprised. "There's a way to increase affinity with the Destruction attribute on Devil Island, but unfortunately, to this day, no one has been able to fuse this soul bone, not even me."

Leng Yaozhu glanced sideways, not even you: "Then how can you let my disciple accept the test?"

Yali continued softly, "In a sense, the power of thunder belongs to another type of destructive attribute, a typical example of which is the heavenly tribulation."

"We need this child to release his martial soul and contact it with the soul bone. If there is any feedback, it means there is a chance of fusing with the soul bone. If not, it means failure. You can rest assured, I have also tried martial soul touching soul bone, and there is no danger."

"But if you choose it and fail the test, the child will lose the chance to obtain the soul bone."

To put it bluntly, two soul bones, one choice.

He chose the Thunder Beast Soul Bone and took it away on the spot.

Choose the mysterious Purple Brilliant Sky-Destroying Dragon Soul Bone from Devil's Island. If the test is successful, it's yours. If the test fails, you lose the chance to get the soul bone.

"Choose this destruction-attribute soul bone." Leng Yaozhu made a decisive choice, and at the same time added to Nan Liujing, "If you fail the test, I will personally pay for a thunder-attribute soul bone for you. The quality is no worse than that of a thunder beast soul bone."

Hearing this, Yun Ming and Yali looked sideways at the same time. From this one sentence, it can be seen that Leng Yaozhu really cares about this disciple.

"I will listen to the teacher in everything."

Nan Liujing had recovered from the shock of the sudden disappearance of the Heavenly Tribulation Pearl. Facing the gazes of the three big men, he responded calmly.

"Okay." Yun Ming said calmly, "Summon your martial spirit and let it connect with your spirit bone."

Nan Liujing's mind moved, and the dark green dragon stick flew out of his hand. Under the gaze of everyone, it touched the purple-black soul bone floating in the air.

Zizizi!
Since the thunder attribute and the destruction attribute have similarities, Nan Liujing simply pushed his soul power to the limit.

A strong fluctuation of thunder element quickly erupted from the Panlong Stick, and a faint thunder dragon soul swam out.

The dragon roars were like thunder, and the life elements nearby were forcibly suppressed and then taken away for their own use. Such a domineering ability has exceeded the level of ordinary top-level martial spirits.

"Half-step to the ultimate thunder?"

As a weapon spirit master, Yun Ming's feelings were undoubtedly the most acute. He stared at the Coiling Dragon Stick spirit and raised his brows slightly.

Things get more interesting.
