Chapter 81 Jialin, Descendant of the Fire Dragon King?!
Ma Hongjun screamed hysterically: You robber, give me back my inner core!
The Light Dragon King recalled the past, his tone tinged with emotion:
"Back then, her martial soul was just an ordinary fire dragon of decent quality.
If she hadn't happened to sense the summons of a fallen (first-level deity) 'Blazing Sacred Dragon' on the outskirts of the Dragon Realm, how could she have achieved her current fortune?"
Wei Linglong nodded; he knew this story as well.
When Ji Ruxue followed Wei Yun into Dragon Valley, although the Blazing Sacred Dragon had died, its obsession remained. Seeing Ji Ruxue's exceptional fire attribute talent, it entrusted its last wisp of origin to her.
This caused Ji Ruxue's martial soul to undergo a qualitative leap, evolving into the 'Blazing Sacred Dragon' with ultimate fire, instantly becoming a top genius on the continent.
"I thought that was the greatest opportunity of her life."
The Light Dragon King smiled bitterly, looking at the sky.
"Unexpectedly, that was just a prelude. The Blazing Sacred Dragon is only a first-level deity; although its status among the dragons is high, it is far inferior to the Dragon King. Now that this 'Ten-Headed Fire Dragon King Inner Core' has appeared, her Blazing Sacred Dragon Martial Soul will likely undergo a final, ancestral evolution, becoming the new Fire Dragon King."
Suddenly, the Light Dragon King's gaze abruptly turned to the depths of Dragon Valley, where a volcanic cluster burned with inextinguishable dragon flames year-round, the place with the most concentrated fire element in the Dragon Realm.
A deep regret and sorrow were revealed in his eyes.
"Alas… if only this inner core could have been given to that child, 'Jialin,' how wonderful that would have been."
(Jialin, the wife of Jiang Weiqiang, the leader of Tianlong Star, a descendant of the Fire Dragon King in Dou Si, is in Dragon Valley/Dragon Realm at this time.)
Wei Linglong followed his gaze, his heart skipping a beat:
"Senior, are you saying… that one sleeping in the remains of the Fire Dragon King's descendant…?"
"That's right."
The Light Dragon King's voice was deep.
"Jialin, she is a direct descendant of the Fire Dragon King, possessing the purest Fire Dragon King bloodline. During the great war in the God Realm, the Dragon God perished, and the Dragon Clan suffered a calamity. Jialin's mother was severely injured and desperately fled back to this Dragon Realm. In her last moments, she transformed all her life essence into a seal, protecting the infant Jialin and plunging her into an endless slumber to evade the pursuit of the God Realm."
Wei Linglong's mind conjured up that image: in the rolling lava, a huge crimson dragon corpse lay coiled, its dragon might undiminished despite the passage of ten thousand years.
And at the core of the dragon corpse's abdomen, a red-haired little girl was curled up, sleeping like an infant, waiting for the day she would awaken.
That was Jialin, one of the last hopes of the Dragon Clan, the true princess of the Fire Dragon Royal Family.
"Although Jialin's bloodline is pure, she has been dormant for too long, and her essence is severely depleted."
The Light Dragon King looked at the essence core that originally belonged to the "Fire Dragon King" on the sky, his eyes filled with longing.
"If she could devour this essence core, she would not only awaken immediately, but also instantly replenish her essence, and even directly inherit her ancestor's divine position, restoring the glory of the Fire Dragon King!"
"Unfortunately…"
The Light Dragon King sighed, his dragon eyes filled with helplessness.
"Fate is cruel. Such a treasure has fallen into the hands of a human soul master, and it's even given as a reward, impossible to seize."
Wei Linglong fell silent.
On one side was his granddaughter-in-law, and on the other was Jialin, the orphan of the dragon clan.
Although he had reached a cooperation agreement with the Light Dragon King and even the remnant soul of the Dragon God, if he had to choose, he would definitely choose his own family.
However, even if Wei Linglong had to choose, it wouldn't matter.
Ji Ruxue would definitely devour the ten-headed Fire Dragon King's essence core as soon as she got it.
At that time, Ji Ruxue's strength will likely skyrocket to the level of a quasi-god, on par with his.
"However..."
Wei Linglong looked at the sky, pondered for a moment, and said calmly.
"Although Ji Ruxue obtained the inner core, fully digesting the power of a God-King level is not something that can be done overnight. Moreover, since she inherited the power of the Fire Dragon King, she and the Dragon Clan, especially Jialin, will likely have some kind of fateful karmic connection."
The Light Dragon King paused slightly, then nodded thoughtfully:
"You're right. The Fire Dragon King's origin is extremely domineering. Although this girl has obtained the power, she will inevitably bear this karmic burden. Perhaps... this isn't all bad."
At least, it can ensure that Ji Ruxue, like Wei Linglong, stands on the side of Dragon Valley.
Although there are not many surviving dragons in the Dragon Realm now, its resources are abundant, with countless soul bones aged hundreds of thousands or millions of years.
Not to mention various divine artifacts.
Ji Ruxue will definitely need them.
At that time, they can cooperate with her, allowing the Sun Moon Empire, or more accurately, the Wei family, to be deeply bound to the Dragon Realm, influencing each other.
Above the Heavenly Arena, two golden lights descended from the sky.
Ji Ruxue and the unconscious Ma Hongjun were both restored to their peak condition.
However, Ji Ruxue showed no reaction whatsoever, only slightly furrowing her brows and blinking her phoenix eyes.
The soul power she had expended attacking Ma Hongjun was completely replenished within the next second.
Even though Ma Hongjun was restored to his peak condition by the Heavenly Curtain, certain things that hadn't existed before had completely disappeared.
For example, the filthy, ugly little thing resembling maggots in Ma Hongjun's genitals.
When Ma Hongjun woke up, he clenched his fist and found himself in excellent physical condition.
He thought everything that had just happened was a dream. But before he could even enjoy his newfound joy for two seconds, he turned his head and saw Ji Ruxue, and was immediately dumbfounded.
He then quickly sensed his soul power cultivation level, only to find it was level 45!
Moreover, his martial soul had indeed changed from the Five-Headed Fire Phoenix to the original Evil Fire Phoenix.
Ma Hongjun wanted to curse, but looking at Ji Ruxue's cold eyes, he forced himself to swallow his words.
Ma Hongjun stared intently at the golden-red inner core in Ji Ruxue's palm, his throat dry and tight.
The ten fiery dragon patterns flowing across it were like scars etched into his heart.
It was his martial spirit's origin, his very foundation of survival and pride!
And now, not only had it been stolen, but it had transformed from a Fiery Sun Serpent into a Fire Dragon King!
It felt like watching his fiancée being snatched away, instantly becoming a powerful empress, while he himself was reduced to a beggar on the street.
"Give it back…it's mine…"
Intense greed and resentment finally broke through the dam of fear. Ma Hongjun's eyes turned bloodshot, and he roared hoarsely.
His body lunged forward uncontrollably, trying to snatch back the "opportunity" that had rightfully belonged to him.
"That's my ten-headed Fiery Sun Serpent! You robber! Give it back to me!"
Faced with Ma Hongjun's hysterical accusations, Ji Ruxue didn't even lift an eyelid.
Ji Ruxue merely lowered her gaze slightly, looking at the inner core radiating terrifying heat in her palm, a sneer curling at the corner of her lips.
"Yours?"
