Volume 42, Chapter 580.2: The Scorpion Tiger Dies and Zhong Li Comes Out (2/2)
Yan Shaozhe couldn’t tell what Huo Yuhao’s future would be like anymore. He was only praying for him, praying that he could emerge victorious against Zhongli Wu in this battle. However, he didn’t approve of how Huo Yuhao was forcefully pressuring himself. He was up against a powerful evil soul master. How dangerous was that?
Huo Yuhao and Zhongli Wu’s battle had begun in the sky.
Zhongli Wu didn’t attack Huo Yuhao at once. He tapped his staff in the air as a deep howling sound could be heard, and the enormous head of some beast appeared in front of him.
Surprisingly, it was a dragon’s head. It was entirely black, but it emanated translucent green light as intense green flames danced within its eyes. Chilly and sinister winds billowed through the air as the dragon head appeared.
What was that?
Yan Shaozhe had crossed paths with Zhongli Wu before, but he had been incinerating himself back then so that he could buy time for his companions, while Zhongli Wu didn’t give his full strength in that battle. Yan Shaozhe now watched as Zhongli Wu suddenly released an enormous dragon head. This dragon head seemed to be related to his martial soul, yet it seemed like it wasn’t. Yan Shaozhe was astonished. How powerful is Zhongli Wu, exactly?
Not many people in the Holy Ghost Church knew what Zhongli Wu’s true power was like, not to mention Yan Shaozhe.
The enormous dragon head wasn’t the end, it was just the beginning.
Its large black frame gradually snaked out, and the dragon’s claw quickly reached out as the dragon slowly revealed its tremendous body. This was a giant black dragon! However, the differences were that this black dragon didn’t have scales, muscles, or flesh, but was formed entirely from black bones. Even then, this black dragon’s aura was comparable to that of an actual dragon.
Huo Yuhao didn’t attack Zhongli Wu as he was releasing his dragon. Instead, he just hovered quietly in midair and waited. He had his Icy War God’s Armor covering him, so nobody could see his expression, while he was using Star Anise Icy Coagulation to swiftly recover his soul power.
Why didn’t Huo Yuhao take this opportunity to attack? Shrek Academy’s various elders were all worried.
The black bone dragon took ten seconds to appear fully in front of everyone. The dragon was a hundred meters long, and its wingspan was also about a hundred meters wide. This size wasn’t considered much compared to a top-tier individual’s martial soul true body. Soul masters like Elder Xuan’s martial soul true body could easily reach a thousand meters.
However, this black bone dragon looked almost material! Furthermore, all sorts of illusions and images flickered in the sky as it appeared. There were mountains of corpses and seas of blood, and they all belonged to soul beasts. There were countless soul beasts’ agonizing cries echoing through the heavens, like there were uncountable avenging beast spirits crying out hysterically.
How many soul beasts did Zhongli Wu have to kill to create something like this?
Zhongli Wu was standing on the enormous bone dragon’s skull. He was very small compared to the bone dragon, but he gave off a stifling feeling that created a terrifying pressure.
“I discovered this set of dragon bones in some historical remains. The dragon’s soul hadn’t dissipated back then. Even though the dragon itself isn’t considered a top-tier draconic species, and even though its bloodline isn’t even pure, this dragon has a tinge of the Silver Dragon on its body. You’ve probably heard of the history of the dragons, that the Dragon God split into the Golden Dragon King and the Silver Dragon King. In addition to the nine sons of the Dragon God, they were considered kings of their species. Their descendants all have a little of their blood in them. But the truth is, there are still some other secrets.”
“Only the Dragon God’s nine sons passed on their bloodline. The Golden Dragon King and the Silver Dragon King had no offspring. The Golden Dragon King met its demise for some unknown reason after the split, while the Silver Dragon King disappeared. That was the reason why the dragons fell from grace. However, the Dragon God released large amounts of energy when he split into the two dragon kings. Some of that energy contained the Golden Dragon King’s Ultimate Strength and the Silver Dragon King’s control of the elements. Those dragons who were bathing in the Dragon God’s favor were partially affected by those energies, and their claims afterward about how they possessed the Golden Dragon King or the Silver Dragon King’s bloodline arises from this fact.”
“The Silver Dragon King blessed this dragon when it was still alive, therefore, the dragon’s soul is undying, while it also possesses part of the Silver Dragon King’s powers. This dragon is the strongest beast spirit among those that I possess, and it took me ten years to capture it, and I couldn’t receive any external help during that period of time. Ten years later, the dragon’s strength enabled me to break through directly to become a Transcendent Douluo. Subsequently, I took over as the Holy Ghost Church’s supreme leader.”
“Normally, I would never use this dragon’s power, because it has become my origin beast spirit, and even part of my martial soul. Today, you can be proud that you’ve forced me to unleash my Bone Dragon King.”
Zhongli Wu’s voice was deep and cold. The Bone Dragon King’s aura became a little stronger, and the sky a little darker, with every syllable he uttered. Zhongli Wu’s soul rings flickered amid the black light from the beginning to the end, and nobody could tell whether he was using his soul skills.
