Chapter 224 Dragon God: Something feels off
Three days later.
On a snow-capped peak nearly 3,000 meters above sea level, where few people venture, four figures are walking slowly.
Huo Yuhao and Gu Yuena walked side by side on the snow. Every hundred meters they went, Gu Yuena would stop and carefully sense the subtle changes in the surrounding space.
Behind them, Di Ruiqiu and Qiu'er would bicker every few steps.
Huo Yuhao, who still had his long, snow-white hair, couldn't help but sigh softly as he listened to their increasingly pointless argument.
I always felt that after Qiu'er spent so much time with Di Ruiqiu, her originally aloof personality was almost being corrupted by him.
More than three days have passed since the soul contract was signed with the Snow Empress.
Looking back now, Huo Yuhao can't even imagine how he got through those first two days.
Surrounded by Xue Di and Gu Yue Na on either side, he almost couldn't breathe and was nearly drained dry.
In particular, Hyotei, who likes to steal chickens, would occasionally join the battle amidst the chaos, making the already chaotic situation even worse.
Thankfully, Tianmeng was catching up on sleep and didn't get involved in this extremely heated battle.
After two days of fierce battles in the Snow Emperor's ice palace, they learned a great deal of new knowledge from each other.
Satisfied, Gu Yuena then pulled Qiu'er and Di Ruiqiu, who were far away in the Spirit Pagoda, over to embark on a journey to another continent in search of the Dragon Tomb.
The two continents are as far as 60,000 to 70,000 kilometers apart.
Even for a Limit Douluo, flying at high speed without sleep would take two or three days to arrive.
This is assuming you have a precise location and are walking in a straight line.
Not to mention, in the vast deep-sea areas along the way, there are quite a few sea spirit beasts of various strengths that reach the level of ferocious beasts.
This also makes the vast ocean span so difficult that even a Limit Douluo would find it hard to withstand the dangers involved.
That's why it was only when Di Tian was exploring the world that he discovered the existence of another continent.
However, with Gu Yuena personally leading the three of them here, it was an exceptionally simple matter.
After obtaining a vague sense of direction, the four of them set off from the far north, crossed the East China Sea, and successfully arrived at this new continent in a short period of time.
And just as Di Tian once described, among the several continents, the one with the highest level of civilization is none other than the Douluo Continent, which was formed after colliding with the Sun and Moon Continent.
On this new continent, to avoid unnecessary trouble, Gu Yuena led them directly to the spatial node provided by Gu Moxin, which might contain an entrance to the Dragon Tomb.
Even from just a few glances, it's clear that the indigenous people living on this continent still maintain primitive tribal practices.
The tribes are led by powerful individuals, similar to Soul Masters, while in some weaker tribes, there are still many people who are poorly clothed and starving.
As Gu Yuena stopped again, a thick layer of snow had accumulated around her.
Looking around, apart from a few resilient high-altitude mountain vegetation species, there is no other sign of life, only the howling cold wind echoing across the mountaintop.
Gu Yuena turned around, raised her hand in a gesture, and her ethereal voice clearly reached the ears of the two people who were still bickering behind her.
"Alright, you two, stop fooling around. We're about to enter the Dragon Tomb, so stay alert and don't stray too far from me."
Upon hearing this, Qiu'er and Di Ruiqiu immediately shut their mouths and their expressions became solemn.
The two watched as Gu Yuena naturally took Huo Yuhao's hand and walked side by side toward the edge of the cliff.
"Dragon Tomb has an extremely strong natural aversion to Soul Masters or Soul Beasts who are not of Dragon Clan bloodline."
To open the path to the Dragon Tomb, one needs both pure dragon blood and a deep understanding of the laws of space.
As Gu Yuena explained, her gaze swept over the crowd.
"We've returned this time only to retrieve some things that rightfully belong to us. Remember, do not cause any irreparable damage to the Dragon Tomb itself."
As she spoke, Gu Yuena's gaze lingered on Di Rachel for a moment longer.
In her opinion, among the people present, only Di Rachel was most likely to cause trouble, so she had to warn him in advance to remember not to be impulsive once they entered the Dragon Tomb.
Di Rachel seemed to understand the warning in Gu Yuena's eyes, and scratched the back of her head somewhat embarrassedly.
He then flashed a bright smile at Gu Yuena, patting his chest to assure her that he would absolutely not do anything reckless.
Seeing this, both Gu Yuena and Qiu'er revealed a hint of helplessness in their eyes.
After calming her emotions, Gu Yuena turned her gaze back to Huo Yuhao beside her, her voice softening.
"Yuhao, let's begin then."
As she finished speaking, rings of tangible silver-white light began to emanate from Gu Yuena's body.
At the same time, a similar dazzling golden halo also emanated from Huo Yuhao's body.
Gold and silver intertwined and merged in the void, and soon transformed into an exceptionally magnificent nine-colored light.
Under the influence of the nine-colored light, the entire space began to distort violently.
The nine-colored light continued to extend outward, quickly expanding to a huge area with a diameter of 100 meters. Within the area covered by the light, tiny spatial cracks began to appear one after another.
At that moment, the nine-colored light began to tremble violently, and in an instant, it condensed into an extremely solid nine-colored pillar of light, which shot straight into the sky.
The sky was suddenly torn apart, and nine-colored light spread wildly outward. What was originally a tiny crack was suddenly stretched open, turning into an enormous, pitch-black opening.
A strange aura surged out from the crack.
At that moment, all four people present felt an unprecedented surge of heartbeats and the illusion that their blood was about to be ignited.
It was as if something extremely important was calling to them from the other side of space.
Gu Yuena, who was the first to react, gave a soft shout.
"Come on, let's go in quickly."
As she spoke, she took Huo Yuhao's hand tightly and flew towards the dark entrance in mid-air.
Di Ruiqiu and Qiu'er exchanged a glance, then suddenly pushed off with their legs, their bodies shooting out like cannonballs, heading straight for the huge rift.
After all four of them entered, the huge spatial opening slowly closed and eventually disappeared in just a short while.
The four people who entered the spatial rift felt their vision go black, and they were met with a chaotic scene that made them dizzy. They also felt an invisible, enormous force pulling their bodies.
Gu Yuena waved her hand again, and a layer of silvery-white light membrane steadily enveloped the four of them, isolating them from the tearing force of the outside space.
After the surrounding space distorted and blurred for a moment, the light finally returned.
They, who were now in mid-air, were slowly falling towards the ground.
As far as the eye can see, hills, plains, cliffs, and canyons appear in endless array, stretching as far as the eye can see.
The most wondrous sights were the strange clouds of various colors floating about a hundred meters above the ground, emitting a soft glow.
Diraja excitedly pointed at the magnificent clouds and let out a gasp.
"Look at those clouds! Don't they look like different flavors of cotton candy?"
She swallowed hard again, her eyes gleaming with longing.
"I wonder if they'll taste good. My blood tells me that eating them would be quite beneficial to me."
Looking at Di Ruiqiu's unseemly excited expression, Qiu'er subconsciously twitched the corner of her mouth.
She discovered that even when this guy transformed into a human, all he thought about every day was eating and sleeping, which was completely different from her own.
However, she couldn't help but wonder to herself, if she were like this, would she have ended up with the same fate if she had walked down that predetermined path?
Compared to Qiu'er, who was lost in thought for a moment, Gu Yuena turned her gaze to Huo Yuhao beside her and explained softly:
"Those clouds, with their different colors, correspond to different elemental attributes. They are remnants formed from the primordial power that escaped from the bodies of the ancient dragons after their fall."
For ordinary Soul Masters or Soul Beasts, these clouds and mists are quite valuable natural treasures, used to cleanse the body and enhance elemental affinity. But for you, their effects are minimal.
Whether it's the Golden Dragon bloodline within Di Ruiqiu and Qiu'er, or Huo Yuhao's even more domineering Ice Dragon King Martial Soul and Golden Dragon King bloodline.
These diluted dragon essences won't have a significant effect on improving their bloodline; in fact, it would be a waste of time to absorb them.
After a pause, Gu Yuena continued, "Compared to these clouds and mists, the dragon souls directly generated from the remains of the dragon race can actually provide you with a significant boost."
However, after such a long period of attrition, if we don't actively reveal our presence, those dragon souls that have lost most of their consciousness will likely perceive us as intruders and attack us upon seeing us.
Just as Gu Yuena was introducing the basic situation inside the Dragon Tomb to everyone, in a huge valley basin thousands of meters deep within this space...
At the very center, a massive dragon soul that had previously only emitted a seven-colored halo suddenly trembled.
As the light shifted, it instantly transformed into an even more dazzling nine-colored hue, and a hint of wisdom shone through the enormous, originally empty and lifeless dragon eyes.
The enormous dragon claw instinctively raised, as if to scratch its own head, but then stopped in mid-air, revealing a clear look of confusion.
"This aura is undoubtedly that of the Golden Dragon King and the Silver Dragon King. But why does it feel somewhat off? Could something be wrong?"
……
A gentle breeze blows across the plains.
No more than a hundred meters above the ground, clouds of various colors drifted freely, and occasionally, as they changed shape, they would condense into blurry dragon-like shapes.
At this moment, as if drawn by some force, the various dragon clouds that had been piled up together began to surge wildly, eventually forming a huge funnel-shaped vortex.
Streams of light shot out from it and entered the bodies of Di Ruiqiu and Qiu'er, who were shining with a brilliant golden light and fully activating the golden dragon bloodline within them.
But after entering their bodies, the streams of light quickly emerged again, paused briefly around them, and then began to swirl and surge into Huo Yuhao's body once more.
Huo Yuhao felt the different effects brought by the various dragon clouds. He could clearly perceive the elemental light points with different attributes playing a role in his limbs and bones.
They slowly began to merge with the blood in his body, enhancing his affinity for various elements.
But just as Gu Yuena said, the improvement that these scattered dragon clouds can bring to Huo Yuhao now is indeed negligible.
After the dragon clouds left Huo Yuhao's body and rose into the air again, compared to their state when they left Di Ruiqiu and Qiu'er, each of the dragon clouds had a faint golden halo.
After returning to their original height, they began to twist violently, as if undergoing some kind of wondrous transformation.
Seeing this, Gu Yuena explained softly, "It seems that the aura of the Golden Dragon King's bloodline is also of great benefit to these remaining dragon clouds."
Once enough pure bloodline energy is collected, it can transform into dragon souls with rudimentary consciousness. However, this requires a large number of soul masters or soul beasts to provide them with sufficient bloodline energy.
As she spoke, her gaze deepened, and her voice grew lower.
"Perhaps this is one of the reasons why the Dragon Tomb has evolved into what it is today."
Thousands of years later, when human soul masters entered the Dragon Tomb, they cultivated by absorbing the dragon clouds, thus complementing the dragon race.
They will naturally carry the aura and bloodline of the dragon race, and this bloodline, accumulated generation after generation, will eventually make them natural allies of the dragon race.
After hearing this, Huo Yuhao frowned slightly: "Na'er, have you noticed anything wrong? Although the surroundings don't seem that desolate, I can't sense much real life energy."
On the contrary, underground, there lies an extremely terrifying energy, as if it were deliberately restrained by something.
Gu Yuena nodded, her hand already tightly gripping Huo Yuhao's.
If she hadn't come in with him, relying on the resonance of their bloodlines, even she wouldn't have been able to discover what was hidden underground immediately.
And to be able to do this even inside the Dragon Tomb.
A not-so-good thought popped into Gu Yuena's mind.
Her expression instantly turned extremely serious.
That only proves one thing.
The old dragon god is not completely dead.
