After an unknown amount of time, Xu Tianyang slowly awakened from his meditation.
The first thing he felt was a significant increase in his body's affinity for various elemental energies. While it wasn't enough for him to master all elements, it did grant him a considerable damage reduction against attacks of various attributes.
Even the bones in his body had acquired a crystalline, translucent quality, beginning to show a trend towards evolving into a Divine Body.
"How do you feel?" Electrolux asked, smiling lightly as he watched the awakened Xu Tianyang.
"Very good. My body is beginning to transform into a Divine Body, and my spirit power should have broken through to rank seventy-eight," Xu Tianyang said with a satisfied smile.
"It was worth a month of meditation."
"Have I really been meditating for a month?" Xu Tianyang was startled. Although he could vaguely sense the passage of time during his meditation, it wasn't precise, so he hadn't expected a whole month to have passed.
"I'm sorry to have kept you all waiting, Elder Electrolux."
"No trouble at all. There are a few big guys over there who have been waiting for you for a long time," Electrolux said mysteriously, his gaze directed towards the depths of Dragon Valley.
Xu Tianyang paused slightly at his words, then stood up and chuckled, "Then let's go take a look."
With that, he pushed off with his legs, leaped high, and landed in the basin below.
Deep within the valley, bones piled up like mountains. From the hundred-meter-tall bones of ordinary True Dragons to the hundreds and thousands of meters of God-level Dragon bones, the scenery changed with every step, indirectly witnessing the glorious strength of the Dragon clan in the past.
Within his spiritual sea, Tianmeng Ice Silkworm cautiously approached the Ice Empress, while the Ice Empress clung tightly to the Snow Empress, as if only then could she feel a sense of security.
This Dragon Valley secret realm was very unfriendly to Spirit Beasts and humans without Dragon clan bloodlines. Even though they had become soul spirits within Xu Tianyang's spiritual sea, the pressure originating from the depths of their souls still made them feel waves of discomfort.
Snow Empress: ???
Among the numerous Dragons, an enormous Dragon bone immediately caught Xu Tianyang's attention.
This Dragon bone was over a thousand meters tall and entirely brownish-yellow.
Unlike the other Dragon bones, it exuded an unparalleled sense of massiveness, causing the gravity on the ground within a several-thousand-meter radius around it to be significantly greater than elsewhere.
It had no Dragon wings, but its body was exceptionally robust.
Its four limbs, in particular, were as thick as colossal pillars, standing between heaven and earth, radiating a dazzling light as if still active.
"Mountain Dragon King!" Xu Tianyang stopped, his expression solemn as he looked at the Mountain Dragon King's Dragon bone before him.
Among the Nine Great Dragon Kings, the Mountain Dragon King's power ranked high, hailed as the foremost of the Nine Great Dragon Kings who did not walk among mortals.
Most crucially, the Mountain Dragon King's Dragon soul possessed its own complete will.
"Buzz!"
Sure enough, the next second, a ball of yellow light condensed beside the Mountain Dragon King, which was precisely the Mountain Dragon King's Dragon soul.
Although this Dragon soul possessed less than one percent of the Mountain Dragon King's original power, it was still an enormous entity, exceeding thirty meters in height.
Its deep eyes were filled with wisdom, and it was scrutinizing Xu Tianyang from above.
Xu Tianyang's gaze penetrated the Dragon soul, revealing a strange, entirely transparent bone within. This was a structure similar to a spine, the most precious torso Spirit Bone among the conventional six great Spirit Bones, and it belonged to the Mountain Dragon King.
"What do we do? This Dragon soul is alive," Tianmeng Ice Silkworm cried in terror, rolling around on the ground, irritating the Snow Empress and Ice Empress.
"Tianyang!" The Snow Empress directly withstood the pressure from all directions, appearing beside Xu Tianyang in her soul spirit form, warily observing the Mountain Dragon King's Dragon soul.
"Why did you come out?" Xu Tianyang was startled. The Snow Empress's speed was so fast that he hadn't even reacted. He quickly unfurled his Water and Fire Dragon Wings, which contained the aura of the Water and Fire Dragon Kings.
A strange scene unfolded: the True Dragon's pressure emanating from all around quietly dissipated upon encountering the Dragon wings.
"Big fellow, you've scared the young one," Electrolux said, holding his staff, floating calmly behind Xu Tianyang, his gaze placidly fixed on the Mountain Dragon King's Dragon soul.
"Human God remnant soul, to walk both the opposing paths of light and necromancy, you are truly remarkable," a Dragon soul of a brilliant giant Dragon floated out from within just then, looking at Electrolux and speaking in human tongue.
Xu Tianyang looked at the Light Dragon King's Dragon soul in surprise, yet another Dragon King's Dragon soul.
"Why did you come out? Didn't we agree it was my turn?" A voice as vast as a mountain emanated from the Mountain Dragon King's mouth, carrying a hint of displeasure.
"Oh, I couldn't help myself. It's rare to meet a fellow Daoist…" The Light Dragon King's somewhat playful voice echoed in everyone's ears. It looked at the Mountain Dragon King and said, "It's fine, it's fine. You two chat amongst yourselves. This human God and I will go aside to exchange some thoughts…"
Mountain Dragon King: "…"
The atmosphere that was so painstakingly built up has been completely ruined by you.
"Senior?" Xu Tianyang wasn't sure how to discern a dark expression on a Dragon soul's face, but he cautiously spoke up.
"Are the Water and Fire Dragon Kings doing well?" The Mountain Dragon King, hearing this, regained his composure. He looked at the Dragon wings on Xu Tianyang's back, sighed inwardly, and spoke with a wistful tone.
"The Water Dragon King, Fire Dragon King, and other seniors have all perished, with only their Dragon souls remaining in the world. This junior last time…" Xu Tianyang briefly explained the matter of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, watching the Mountain Dragon King's expression continuously change.
"I didn't expect you, young man, to be so bold, contemplating becoming a God with such little strength," the Mountain Dragon King looked at Xu Tianyang in surprise. Back then, the other party was only a Spirit Elder, yet he dared to fantasize about becoming a God, and even managed to secure the sponsorship of the Water and Fire Dragon Kings with it.
Could it be that the Water Dragon King and Fire Dragon King were too severely injured, causing them to be muddle-headed?
"If I lacked such courage, how would this junior dare to speak of changing the current situation of the Spirit Beast race?" Xu Tianyang's expression was serious, appearing righteous, but in reality, what he was thinking was, Who made him hold the script? Coupled with his identity in this life, wasn't becoming a God a sure thing?
"They are the soul spirits you spoke of, aren't they? A little scorpion, a little ice silkworm, and then there's the Snow Girl clan—even in my era, they were rare. If she had been born in my era, the Spirit Beast race would have gained another Ice God."
A hint of admiration flashed in the Mountain Dragon King's eyes. He saw through Xu Tianyang's spiritual sea at a glance, looking at the three of them—the Snow Empress, the Ice Empress, and the Tianmeng Ice Silkworm—and said, "It's quite an ingenious idea."
"I seem to sense a familiar aura within your body." The Mountain Dragon King's gaze now fell upon Xu Tianyang's left hand.
That was where the Asura God Sword was located.
"This junior was fortunate enough to obtain the Asura God's inherited Divine Tool." Xu Tianyang's heart skipped a beat, but he still answered truthfully.
Before this senior, he had no secrets whatsoever.
