Douluo: Dragon King's Tai Chi Mystery

After hesitating for two and a half seconds, Gu Yue nodded slightly. The Silver Dragon King ruled over the seven elemental dragon races and controlled abilities that included the element of light. The dragon crystal left behind by the Holy Dragon of Light was undoubtedly a great help to her path of rebuilding.

"I'll give it a try." Zhao Xuanzhen pressed the bid button without hesitation.

Seeing this, Gu Yue's beautiful and serene face softened even more as she said, "The seller requires a barter system, so please don't make any promises that could affect your future because of me."

"You are in my future."

After obtaining the Silver Dragon Pill, the supreme treasure of the Sun Moon Empire, Zhao Xuanzhen pondered which Silver Dragon King's half-body to bestow upon it.

Considering the dragon soul within the silver dragon's core, Zhao Xuanzhen still chose Na'er. If the silver-haired girl operated properly, that silver dragon might become the last soul spirit of the Silver Dragon Spear.

Na'er has obtained the Silver Dragon Core, while Gu Yue has yet to receive anything, so Zhao Xuanzhen naturally cannot show favoritism. During his journey to the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect, the Inner Core of the Two-Element Crying Crane forged the True Self Yin-Yang Soul Core. Out of consideration for exchanging gifts and his deep affection for Gu Yue, he now needs to obtain the Bright Dragon Crystal.

Apart from Zhao Xuanzhen, no one else in the room made a move. In fact, Tang Wulin also longed to merge with Zhao Xuanzhen, but reason told him that even if he stripped himself bare, there was no way he could get the Holy Dragon Crystal of Light.

In contrast, Zhao Xuanzhen comes from the Spirit Pagoda and is backed by the Phoenix Clan. The fact that the seller is bartering indicates that they don't care about Star Luo Coins. As a result, Zhao Xuanzhen has an advantage, and the resources he can exchange are immeasurable.

As the bidding time ticked away, auctioneer Leah received orders from her superiors, brought down the gavel, and announced loudly, "Time's up. The seller will now invite each of the bidding guests to a private room for a face-to-face meeting."

First up, the VIP guest in VIP room number nine!

“Xuanzhen, I’ll go with you.”

Gu Yue offered to go along, but Zhao Xuanzhen waved his hand and refused. The Starry Sky Auction House was a property of the Star Luo Royal Family. Everyone knew who the seller in Box Number One, plus the Holy Dragon of Light, was, and that person probably wanted to meet him alone.

Guided by the hostess, Zhao Xuanzhen arrived at VIP Box No. 1. The auction hall was bustling with activity, but Box No. 1 seemed like an isolated island, with its door wide open, demonstrating the host's welcoming attitude.

The hostess bowed deeply, gesturing for Zhao Xuanzhen to enter. He knocked and entered. The floor-to-ceiling windows, like silent heavenly eyes, looked down upon the masses below. Crystal chandeliers cast thousands of rays of light, flowing across the velvet walls. In the center of the private room lay a wide white sofa, its design strikingly shaped like a white tiger.

Its thick, long fur was clearly visible, and beneath the white tiger skin was a thick undercoat. The majestic tiger head was completely preserved, and even though it had passed away, its crimson tiger eyes still exuded a murderous aura.

Zhao Xuanzhen's gaze lingered on the white tiger sofa for a second longer. He felt a pang of regret; the Flame Lion King had actually fallen out of favor...

Turning to the elderly figure with white hair and beard in the room, Zhao Xuanzhen politely and gracefully performed the junior's greeting:

"Greetings, Senior Holy Dragon."

"No need to be so polite, just sit down."

Saint Dragon Douluo Enci smiled broadly, resembling an ordinary, kind old man.

An old man and a young man sat facing each other. Zhao Xuanzhen glanced discreetly at the dark corner behind the white tiger sofa, where a green screen stood, a high-level soul tool that isolated one's aura.

"Young hero, with extraordinary talent. I have long wanted to sit down and have a chat with you, but we have never had the chance." Enci brewed two cups of tea, his movements as smooth as flowing water.

"The glorious deeds of Senior Holy Dragon resound throughout the three continents, and I, a junior, also wish to learn from you."

Enci laughed loudly: "When I was thirty, I was just a minor Soul Master, and my secondary profession level was not worth mentioning. Compared with you young and promising people, what glory do I have?"

"Great things come from small beginnings. The reason why our predecessor was able to become the strongest in Star Luo is due to the accumulation of knowledge and experience. We should learn from his steady and methodical approach."

"Even if you talk a good game, Dragon Crystals won't be discounted," Enci joked.

"It's alright, please name your price, Senior Saint Dragon." Zhao Xuanzhen said calmly.

Upon hearing this, Enci instantly suppressed all his gentle emotions and said solemnly, "The Holy Dragon Crystal of Light is my lifelong treasure, and you and I both know its value."

I have dedicated my life to the country and its people; the Xingluo Empire cannot afford to fall. I will not mince words and will speak frankly from the bottom of my heart.

"Your talent has shown me the potential to become the next ultimate quasi-god of this era, and the strong are never limited by so-called ruling families. You will surely be the next master of the Spirit Pagoda."

The two foxes, without prior agreement, praised Enci as a legendary figure who had accumulated knowledge and experience before making a breakthrough, while Enci, in turn, encouraged Zhao Xuanzhen to ascend to the position of the master of the Spirit Transmission Tower.

After a well-timed pause of one second, Enci continued, "Young friend Xuanzhen, our Star Luo Empire has always valued peace above all else. However, the tree may wish to remain still, but the wind will not cease. Some members of the Sun and Moon Federation are restless and harbor ambitions to conquer the Star Luo Continent."

How about this? Let the Holy Dragon Crystal of Light be a testament to our friendship, and may the bond between the Spirit Tower Master and the Star Luo Empire last forever.

If one day the Sun and Moon Federal Parliament raises the issue of war again, I hope you will lend a helping hand and mediate.

The real dagger is revealed!

Zhao Xuanzhen narrowed his eyes slightly. On the surface, it seemed that he could easily get the dragon crystal by nodding, but little did he know that giving it away for free was the most expensive thing. This old dragon was indeed aiming for something!

It's almost a foregone conclusion that the Sun and Moon Federation will wage a war of unification. In another timeline, the Sea God Douluo Chen Xinjie's Sea God Legion is capable of annihilating the Star Luo Empire, demonstrating the disparity in national strength between the two continents.

The Star Luo Empire was no match for the Sun Moon Federation, so they set their sights on Zhao Xuanzhen. The strongest person on the continent, the master of the Spirit Pagoda, a federal councilor from the Spirit Pagoda faction, and the high-ranking members of the federal army he supported—these four combined could completely stop the Sun Moon Federation at its source, and the Star Luo Empire would only have to pay with a single dragon crystal.

“Senior Holy Dragon, the Spirit Pagoda is a neutral organization that creates spirits and serves all spirit masters. The Sun Moon Federation has its own decisions, and the Spirit Pagoda will not interfere arbitrarily.” Zhao Xuanzhen lowered his eyelids slightly, his tone becoming much colder.

Even though they were separated by a vast ocean, the Holy Dragon Douluo knew that the current Spirit Pagoda Master, Qian Gu Dongfeng, was an absolute radical. Zhao Xuanzhen's blatant lying showed that he saw through the Star Luo Empire's intentions and immediately refused.

"This……"

The plan failed miserably, and Enci frowned deeply. He hadn't gained Zhao Xuanzhen's friendship with the Dragon Crystal, and now he might even have lost more than he gained, incurring Zhao Xuanzhen's disgust.

"teacher……"

Suddenly, a voice rang in Enci's ear. Emperor Dai Tianling of Xingluo, who was behind the screen, could no longer sit still and gave his advice through telepathic communication.

"Then let's change the terms." Enci smiled, letting bygones be bygones.

"The Green Skull Resistance Organization is a major threat to the Empire. Its leader, Skull Douluo, is a level 98 Title Douluo. According to intelligence reports, Skull Douluo is attempting to break through to the Limit Douluo realm using an evil secret technique."

"I want the heads of Skeleton Douluo and the eight Skeleton Kings of the Green Skull Organization. If you can do that, the Holy Dragon Crystal of Light is yours."

Completely annihilate the Green Skull—that's Dai Tianling's suggestion!

By chance, the Skull Douluo had some connection with one of the two emperors of the Holy Spirit Cult, and the Green Skull secretly had the Holy Spirit Cult backing him.

The Star Luo Empire fears Skeleton Douluo primarily because the two Netherworld Emperors are quasi-god level Limit Douluo. Attracting either one would severely damage the Star Luo Empire's top-tier combat power.

In the eyes of the Star Luo Empire, the Spirit Pagoda was not afraid of the Holy Spirit Cult at all, and Zhao Xuanzhen, as a native soul master of Shrek Academy who came from the Spirit Pagoda, had a complex background that was hard to imagine.

While alone on the Star Luo Continent, Zhao Xuanzhen could potentially gather the following super Douluo: Zhang Geyang, the Netherflame Douluo and master of the Star Luo City Spirit Pagoda; Zhuo Shi, the Crimson Dragon Douluo and elder of the Sea God Pavilion; Mu Ye, the Body Douluo and master of the Body Sect; and Hu Jie, the Smiling Douluo and uncle of the Body Sect…

With these titled Douluos combined, dealing with Green Skull would be no problem. Eliminating their greatest threat, Green Skull, would at least double the development speed of the Star Luo Empire from now on, and give them a better chance to cope with the upcoming war of national defense.

Therefore, seeing that he could not win them over, Dai Tianling decisively changed his strategy and shifted his focus to Green Skull!

"Okay, I accept this condition."

Zhao Xuanzhen readily agreed. After the Green Skull launched two attacks, he had already decided to eliminate it. The Holy Dragon Crystal of Light was an unexpected bonus.

With the agreement reached, Zhao Xuanzhen left Box Number One. Dai Tianling slowly stepped out from behind the screen, sat down in Zhao Xuanzhen's previous seat, and sighed deeply:

"The Green Skull, who has plagued the Empire for many years, is finally going to be destroyed, but unfortunately, we still couldn't get him to stand on the side of the Empire."

"You can't have your cake and eat it too," Grace comforted. "By using someone else to kill Green Skull, this dragon crystal is worth it."

"Your Majesty, I have another matter. Long Yue and his group wish to challenge Shrek Academy in a seven-person team battle at the closing ceremony of the Soul Master Competition."

"Is that so? Let me think about it..."

In Box 9 of the Starry Sky Auction House, everyone had already seen Leah lower the auction hammer, and the Holy Dragon Crystal of Light was successfully auctioned off. As soon as Zhao Xuanzhen showed his face, they couldn't wait to surround him.

"Brother Zhao, how many 100,000-year-old souls did you spend?" Le Zhengyu asked, bursting with curiosity.

Upon hearing this, Ye Xinglan's gaze suddenly became fixed, Yuan En Ye Hui's body trembled, and then his eyes became even more resentful, while Gu Yue said with a face full of concern:

“Xuanzhen, have you really agreed to give up a 100,000-year-old soul spirit? If so, it doesn’t matter. I can ask Father to capture a 100,000-year-old sea soul beast as compensation.”

"Not at all," Zhao Xuanzhen chuckled. "I just agreed to do something that isn't too difficult. Once I finish the task, I'll get the Holy Dragon Crystal."

"fine……"

Gu Yue felt slightly relieved; she didn't want Zhao Xuanzhen to pay such a huge price for her.

The Dragon Crystal was the last item auctioned, marking the end of this Starry Sky Auction. The group pocketed the Starry Sacred Gold, the ten-thousand-year-old spiritual item Dragon Scale Fruit, and the fifty-thousand-year-old Golden Earth Dragon King's left leg soul bone, returning home laden with their spoils.

……

The following day, at dusk, in the Fano Province of the Star Luo Empire.

The setting sun painted the barren plain with a sickly dark red. A giant nest made of eerie green rocks resembled a skull, with two empty pupils wreathed in will-o'-the-wisps, reflecting the ant-like figures busily scurrying about below.

The Green Skull members hurried along, pushing bone carts laden with twisted remains, escorting wailing souls towards the depths of the skull. The Skull Douluo was in seclusion, attempting to break through to the Limit Douluo realm, greedily absorbing the ever-increasing, overwhelming evil power.

"boom--"

The deafening roar originated from beneath our feet; the earth's veins, dormant for millennia, erupted in fury, unleashing a roar that tore the heavens apart!

At the edge of the plain surrounding the skull, the earth bulged wildly. Giant boulders, comparable to mountains, were pulled from the depths of the earth, their sharp edges jagged and their surfaces shimmering with the light of lava. They converged with unstoppable force, instantly trapping the skull within a giant cage of rocks.

Dust obscured the sun, and gravel poured down like a torrential rain, crashing into the soul-guiding shield hastily erected by the Green Skull Soul Master, exploding into patches of ghastly green ripples.

Panic spread rapidly, the Green Skull members looked around in alarm, and even the teams transporting the evil artifacts came to a halt.

In the chaotic center of the world, a figure treads through swirling dust, like a demon returning from an ancient battlefield.

The Chief Commander was clad in heavy armor of black iron, wielding a halberd with a cold, gleaming blade wreathed in an inextinguishable blood-red aura. Beneath his helmet, his eyes burned with the fire of destruction as he coldly surveyed the sinful abyss before him.

"Enemy attack! Stop them!"

Two Skeleton Kings at the Title Douluo level soared into the sky, their bones shimmering with a dark luster. Their ferocious bone blades tore through the air, and their ghostly howls were chilling and shrill. Two death hurricanes swept toward the Value Talisman from the left and right.

The Chief didn't stop, casually swinging his halberd.

"laugh--"

Before they could react, the moment the halberd swept past, the two menacing skeleton kings, along with their bone blades, shattered and disintegrated, turning into a shower of black bone dust. They didn't even leave behind a scream!

Instant kill!

With a wave of his hand, two severed heads appeared in the talisman's hand. The green skull fell into a deathly silence, a chill penetrating to the bone. The halberd and those scarlet eyes became the only things in their field of vision, radiating an aura more despairing than death itself.

"Roar--"

The skull's forehead exploded, and a viscous, eerie green power shot into the sky, revealing a tall, withered figure!

Skeleton Douluo!

He was forced to leave the pass early due to the invasion of the value talisman!

The sky suddenly darkened.

A terrifying being, so enormous it blotted out the light, descended. A colossal, jet-black serpent had appeared in the sky, its body coiled like a mountain range, its black scales gleaming with a cold, metallic light.

The enormous size of the Teng Snake brought a fear that stemmed from the instinct for life. The soul power of the Green Skull members became sluggish, and fear poured into every filthy soul like ice water.

Two powerful demons appeared simultaneously, their oppressive aura overwhelming the heavens and earth. Skeleton Douluo began to wonder when he had offended these two monsters. The next second, a tall and slender figure suddenly appeared above the head of the Teng Snake that was coiled in the sky.

Zhao Xuanzhen remained calm, exuding a leisurely air that seemed out of place on the battlefield. Ignoring the horrified gazes of the green skeletons below, he casually raised a hand and gently beckoned to an evil soul master in a corner.

"twitter--"

A stream of azure light detached itself, and a windbird let out a clear cry, transforming into azure lightning that landed obediently on Zhao Xuanzhen's outstretched finger, affectionately rubbing its beak against its master's fingertip.

This bizarrely heartwarming scene was like a thunderbolt to Skeleton Douluo. His eyes turned bloodshot as he glared at the dumbfounded evil soul master, wishing he could tear him to pieces!

You don't know your house is haunted!

Chapter 135 You have already made your way to death, the exciting looting segment, Six-Ring Soul Emperor (4K)

Skeleton Douluo exuded murderous intent, while the elusive fish that had once attacked the Tianxing Theater was still in a daze, completely unaware that the Wind Bird had hidden beside him.

The talisman controls the earth, and giant rocks form a cage from all directions to seal off the Green Skull headquarters. The Teng Snake coils in the sky, its black body, winding like a mountain range, stretching as far as the eye can see.

Two pairs of scarlet eyes looked down at the Green Skull members swarming like ants below, with a faint light of destruction brewing deep within their pupils. Darkness continued to extend towards the Green Skulls until it enveloped the entire desolate plain. It was the projection of two Eight Deceitful Gods that blocked out the light of day!

Under the shadow of death, everyone in the Green Skull organization, from the Skull Douluo to the lowest-ranking Soul Masters, felt as if their hearts were being gripped tightly by the Grim Reaper, as if a bloodthirsty and cruel beast was breathing its cold breath on the back of their necks.

"kill."

Zhao Xuanzhen's cold shout tore through the silence, without any rambling pre-battle declarations, only a straightforward and ruthless declaration of war.

In the Star Luo Continent, the Green Skull organization is notorious for its evil deeds and wanton destruction of lives. At the same time, it is involved in many interests such as the Holy Dragon Crystal of Light. Here, we quote a famous saying from a sea god in the Douluo Continent.

Green Skull, you have already chosen your own death!

"boom--"

The halberd in the Chief's hand, which was wrapped in a bloodthirsty aura, seemed to come alive, transforming into a black light that tore through space. It was simple, brutal, and as fast as lightning. Wherever the halberd's blade passed, the air emitted a shrill explosion!

As an evil organization within the Cholera Star Luo Empire, the Green Skull naturally possesses formidable strength. The Skull Douluo is a level 98 peak Super Douluo and a three-word Battle Armor Master, with eight Skeleton Kings under his command, all titled Douluo. However, their enemy is the leader of the Eight Deceitful Gods, the Central Earth Value Talisman!

If not for the limitations imposed by the rules of heaven and earth, the Chief Talisman would have already attained divine status. The Fangtian Halberd resonated with the earth's veins on the plain, drawing a stunning arc of light.

A skeleton king wielding a giant scythe had barely raised the blade half an inch when the halberd's light, containing indescribable power, crashed into his body like an angry dragon. His battle armor instantly shattered into metal fragments, his hard bones crumbled and scattered, and the fragments mixed with soul fire flew everywhere like fragile porcelain.

The halberd's power remained undiminished as it struck another defensive Skeleton King wielding a bone shield. The bone shield, tempered for a hundred years, was rendered useless by the absolute violence of the talisman. The halberd pierced through the shield, and the massive skeleton behind it exploded with a deafening roar!

The green skull symbolizes "slow and steady wins the race." In the sky, almost at the same moment the Chief Symbol swung his halberd, the Teng Snake moved.

Its abyss-like throat suddenly expanded, spewing out pitch-black flames that had been brewing to their fullest extent. The deceptive fire was like the breath of hellfire from the deepest abyss, and a destructive torrent that burned everything poured down!

The sea of ​​fire engulfed the densely packed Green Skull members. The deceptive flames ignited upon contact, and one after another, the evil soul masters were engulfed in flames, their bodies writhing and struggling in the dark fire, creating a scene of burning purgatory.
