Chapter 76 The Golden Lion King's Fifth Soul Ring (Part 2)
Sure enough, in the area where his palm rested, there were still some slight undulations on the Golden Lion King's chest.
"That's right, I asked your great-uncle to come along so that I could capture him alive."
Kong Deming nodded and continued to explain:
"According to ancient records, if one successfully hunts down a giant dragon of the Golden Dragon lineage, the killer can temper their body by bathing in dragon blood, increasing their affinity for the Golden Dragon bloodline. If they then fuse with a soul ring, they may even obtain a portion of the Golden Dragon bloodline."
"Although this Golden Lion King is only 50,000 years old, judging from its coat color and blood aura, its golden bloodline is extremely pure. Its strength is definitely no less than that of a Title Douluo, and its physical strength is terrifying. I saw it shatter a small mountain with my own eyes. If it were just my brother alone, killing it wouldn't be difficult, but capturing it alive would be very risky."
"The nobler the bloodline of a soul beast, the more fierce its temperament. Even if it means death, it will not be captured by humans."
Kong Tangyu picked up the conversation, his fingers tracing the body of the Golden Lion King.
Strangely enough, although the Golden Lion King's fur appeared extremely hard on the outside, it was very soft in Kong Tangyu's hands. It dented slightly when Kong Tangyu pressed down with his fingertips, like flowing liquid gold.
"We have rendered it incapable of resistance. Come, Xu'er, do it. Absorb your fifth spirit ring."
Kong Deming said with a smile.
"Okay." Kong Tianxu nodded emphatically.
The 50,000-year-old Golden Lion King is so rare and difficult to obtain that even ordinary Title Douluos or Super Douluos cannot covet it. Perhaps only someone with his background would have the will and the strength to carry out such a hunt.
He drew a level seven soul-guided dagger and brandished it beneath the Golden Lion King's thick but slightly disheveled mane. Then, as if remembering something, he flipped his wrist, and a golden eggshell appeared in his hand.
The embryo of the Dragon Curse?
A hint of surprise flashed in Kong Tangyu's eyes. He turned to look at Kong Deming, and after receiving a confirming look from the latter, he looked at Kong Tianxu with interest, thinking to himself:
The Golden Lion King's defenses are not so easy to break through.
A purebred golden lion king might be able to—
Kong Tianxu, unaware of his thoughts, felt a surge of fervor and released a small amount of soul power, causing a deep purple aura to linger around the tip of the dagger.
A light swipe.
The Golden Lion King's tough hide, strong enough to withstand the attack of an eight-ring Soul Douluo, was easily sliced open like a hot knife through oil. A flash of purple light disappeared in an instant, and the blade pierced through, precisely into the Golden Lion King's brain.
Can the power of destruction be used like this?
Kong Tangyu clicked his tongue slightly and glanced at Kong Deming, only to see a barely perceptible hint of regret flash across his elder brother's eyes.
The Purple Emperor Annihilation Dragon bloodline in Kong Tianxu's body originally came from him, so he naturally also possessed the power of destruction. Although he was far from being as close to the source of destruction as Kong Tianxu, he was still a genuine top-tier Purple Emperor Annihilation Dragon martial soul.
If I hadn't been so eager for quick success when I was young, with the twin talents of Silver Moon and Purple Radiance Destroying the Heavenly Dragon, I wouldn't be having such a hard time breaking through to level 95 now.
Kong Deming sighed inwardly.
Fortunately, his regrets could finally be fulfilled through his descendants. His gaze fell on Kong Tianxu, filled with anticipation.
The Golden Lion King's massive body trembled violently, and its dazzling golden luster rapidly dimmed. Kong Tianxu raised the lion's head, and the dagger slashed down sharply!
Blood gushed down like a waterfall! The golden blood, which seemed to contain infinite energy, did not fall to the ground under the full force of Kong Tianxu's Silver Dragon Martial Soul. Instead, it floated in the air along with the huge body of the Golden Lion King.
There's hope! Kong Deming's eyes lit up; it seemed that all the mobilization had finally yielded some results.
What brought all this together was the Dragon Curse Embryo in Kong Tianxu's hands, which was as clear as glass after being stimulated by the blood of the Golden Lion King.
Xu Tianzhen was right. This dragon egg did indeed originate from the Golden Dragon lineage. Although the bloodline had been diluted over generations, even the diluted pure bloodline still possessed more of the Golden Dragon lineage's heritage than those mixed bloodlines.
Stimulated by the aura of the Golden Lion King, it finally unleashed the true essence of its ancient bloodline.
The golden and silver light intertwined, creating a strange scene in the air like the sun and moon shining together. Kong Tianxu sat cross-legged under the pull of his own bloodline, and the jet-black golden lion king soul ring slowly merged with him under this pull.
As expected of a 50,000-year soul ring, the air seemed to thicken when it appeared, and a fierce aura emanated from it.
The golden light, as fine as silk threads, gradually seeped into his body and even his flesh. Unlike when he absorbed the Immortal Spirit Grass before, the soul power surging into his body this time was not as turbulent as when he gathered all the energy of the Immortal Spirit Grass last time, but the tempering of his physical body was extremely significant.
Outside, his blood and qi fluctuations were increasing at an astonishing rate. Although he was only thirteen years old, the strength of his blood and qi had already far exceeded the level of a Soul Saint.
Above their heads, the phantom of the silver dragon and the golden light of the Dragon Curse Embryo shimmered alternately and merged. The form of the silver dragon subtly changed: its scales became larger and clearer, and two golden lines spread from the dragon child towards its body.
This transformation continued to deepen, until a hazy, golden light flickered like breath within the dragon's deep purple eyes. But ultimately, as if something was missing, it vanished when the golden light reached its peak. Like a seed buried deep in the soil, it awaited the day it would take root and sprout.
To everyone's surprise, Kong Tianxu's absorption of the soul ring took longer than anyone had anticipated.
The golden light gradually disappeared into his body, but he remained sitting there motionless, with the Heavenly Punishment Aura on his body trembling slightly and silver halos flowing around him from time to time.
Especially on his body surface, a thick layer of scales began to appear, the scales were golden, a dazzling gold. The dragon scales gradually grew larger, covering his entire body. Only his face retained its human appearance.
After examining the fluctuations of soul power on Kong Tianxu's body, Kong Deming instructed everyone not to disturb Kong Tianxu and to let him continue cultivating.
Why did Kong Tianxu's cultivation take so long? It's not as simple as just absorbing soul rings.
While the Golden Lion King's spirit ring was of extremely high quality, it was only 50,000 years old, well within Kong Tianxu's physical limits. Furthermore, it couldn't possibly overpower Kong Tianxu, who possessed the Silver Dragon Martial Soul and was protected by the Heavenly Punishment.
The reason lies in the bloodline.
The gradually melting Dragon Curse Embryo and the essence of the Golden Lion King were all injected into Kong Tianxu's body along with that golden energy, making his meridians, bones, and internal organs increasingly powerful.
Moreover, this gold is directly merging with his body, truly becoming a part of him.
After an unknown amount of time, the golden light flowing around Kong Tianxu finally completely subsided. One after another, spirit rings rose from beneath his feet:
Purple, purple, purple, black, black!
When the fifth deep black spirit ring appeared steadily, all the strange phenomena subsided.
The youngest, and perhaps the most powerful, Soul King in history has been born at this moment!
