"No, it's nothing."
Arthur shook his head, feeling the power of the mountain dragon king torso bone.
This bone gave him two spirit abilities.
The first one.
"Myriad Peaks Submerging Abyss."
The moment the words fell, the power of the mountain dragon king torso bone erupted completely. The ground of the Dragon Valley beneath his feet suddenly collapsed by several inches, and a visible ripple crazily spread outward with him at the center.
The earth elements between heaven and earth were summoned, gathering frantically. Amidst the churning clouds, one towering phantom mountain after another rose from the ground.
Each one was as solid as reality, with steep rocky peaks and hideous stone patterns. Dark gold chains were Binding around them. Just floating in mid-air, they caused the entire space of the Dragon Valley to make an overburdened creaking sound.
The pressure in the air increased sharply, making it difficult for the Tang Sect fighters exploring the Dragon Valley to move a single step.
They looked in terror at the mountains that blotted out the sky.
Due to the mutation in the Dragon Valley, they were forced to exit the Small World one by one.
Arthur lowered his eyes and scanned the mountains. With a slight thought, the overwhelming pressure quietly receded by more than half.
The phantom mountains filling the sky seemed to have been paused, suspended in mid-air and no longer expanding. Only the chains on their surfaces were still vibrating slightly, emitting a hum.
"Phew..." He exhaled a breath of turbid air, the rock patterns on his chest gradually fading. "I just tried its power right after the Fusion; I didn't expect it to cause such a big commotion."
Myriad Peaks Submerging Abyss had an extremely strong effect of suppression and trapping enemies. Now that there were no enemies, its true power could not be displayed.
Yue wagged his tail proudly: "Look whose bone it is."
With a thought from Arthur, the Spirit Ability collapsed with a bang. The phantom mountains turned into earth-yellow light spots filling the sky, reintegrating into the world.
The collapse of the Dragon Valley ground slowly leveled out, and the cracks gradually disappeared during the repair, as if the heaven and earth mutation just now had never happened.
He raised his hand and pressed it against his chest, feeling the perfect Fusion of the dragon bone's power with himself. "The first Spirit Ability has been tested; it's time to see the second one."
Before he finished speaking, the rock patterns on Arthur's chest lit up again. This time, the light did not spread outward but instead contracted into his body, slowly merging into every inch of flesh and blood along the Meridians and bone structure.
In an instant, a layer of pale gold dragon scale phantoms faintly appeared on his skin's surface. His bones let out crisp popping sounds. His Golden Body Realm body, which was already indestructible, actually began to transform again under the nourishment of the dragon bone's power.
"This second Spirit Ability is called Dragon Body Hundred Refinements." Arthur spoke slowly, his voice carrying a sense of heaviness from the surging power. "In its passive state, it can continuously nourish the Physical Body. If actively activated..."
Arthur tried it a bit and said uncertainly, "It should be able to withstand a Super Douluo head-on."
"This Spirit Ability is not bad."
He hadn't actually fought a Super Douluo, so he wasn't sure.
Yue's soul form looked at the dragon scale phantoms around him and said disdainfully, "What do you mean 'not bad'? It's just that you're too weak."
"What Super Douluo? What kind of thing is that? Can it compare to a God?"
"Even if it's a God King... ahem, a full-strength strike from a First-Class God, my bone can resist it easily."
Hearing this, Arthur's face darkened. "If a First-Class God strikes, I'll be left with nothing but bones."
Right now, the hardware was too strong, but Arthur's software couldn't keep up; after all, he was only level sixty.
Yue's dragon tail stiffened from being choked up, and he muttered, "Who's to blame for that? Anyway, my bone is very sturdy."
Arthur glanced at him, raising his hand to stroke the warm rock patterns on his chest. The dragon scale phantoms slowly faded, and the popping sounds of his bones gradually subsided. Only the heavy power surging in his Physical Body continued to wash through his Meridians.
Looking back at Gu Yue and Na'er floating in mid-air, Arthur thought for a moment and asked, "Should we just keep waiting like this?"
Yue asked back, "Otherwise?"
"Mainly, since we're already here, getting only one Spirit Bone from such a large dragon skeleton feels like a bit too little."
Yue was furious: "You brat, I called you Mistress once and you really think you're the master?"
His soul form shook, and his dragon tail whipped up a cloud of yellow dust. "I have no more bones to give, only my life!"
Arthur rolled his eyes, choked by the word "Mistress." He didn't bother arguing with this old dragon over the slip of the tongue and instead leaned in closer.
Tapping the dark gold rock patterns on his chest, he intentionally let a bit of the heavy dragon bone pressure leak out, his tone somewhat persuasive: "Old Dragon, what's the rush? I'm not asking for your bones again. I just think it's a pity that so many Spirit Bones in the dragon skeletons are going to waste."
Yue's soul form floated back warily, his vertical pupils wide. "Waste? The bones of the Dragon Clan, even if buried in the earth for eternity, are the dignity of the Dragon Clan. How can I let you have such wicked thoughts?"
"Eh, you're mistaken."
Arthur put his hand on Yue's shoulder.
If he had shoulders, that is.
Pointing into the distance: "Look at the skeletons of the Wind Dragon King, and the Light and Darkness Dragon Kings. How perfect they are."
This was a lie.
Arthur saw nothing; he was counting on Yue to lead the way.
"Then look at yours. There's a big gap right in the middle, and the lines don't even connect anymore."
"They'll definitely laugh at you."
Yue cursed loudly, "You have the nerve to say that? Isn't it all your fault?"
"I have a plan," Arthur suggested. "Just make them incomplete too."
Yue suddenly froze in mid-air, his vertical pupils bulging so much they almost popped out. The yellow dust whipped up by his tail also froze in the air. "So that's it. You want me to be a Dragon Traitor?"
Arthur waved his hand. "What Dragon Traitor? Are you treating me, your Mistress, like an outsider?"
"Brat, you've miscalculated." Yue snorted coldly. "Haven't you heard? My Mountain Dragon King clan is the most loyal and righteous!"
"The saying 'Mountain Dragons serve as kings' isn't just talk!"
"Fine." Arthur shrugged; it was just a passing thought. "Then we'll wait..."
"Then we set off immediately." Yue interrupted him, taking the lead. "Loyalty comes first. Mistress, I'll lead the way."
The laziness on Arthur's face instantly froze, and he blinked as if he hadn't processed what happened.
Yue had already floated several dozen feet away. He looked back and wagged his dragon tail, his dark gold vertical pupils full of impatience. "What are you dazing for? Keep up. You made such a big gap in my bones; I can't be the only one losing face!"
...The mounds deep in the Dragon Valley were scattered in a chaotic arrangement. The further they went, the more chaotic it became, and the elemental aura surrounding them grew increasingly pure.
Yue led Arthur straight to a mound on the east side wrapped in a pale green wind vortex. This mound was several dozen feet higher than the surrounding ones.
Sparse dragon patterns could be faintly seen circulating within the wind vortex. The sharp wind aura could make one's skin feel slightly numb even from a distance.
"We're here, Wind Girl's territory."
Arthur nodded obediently and stepped back.
Yue slowly lowered his head and emitted a low and long dragon roar. The roar was ancient and obscure, carrying the unique spiritual fluctuations of the Dragon Clan, echoing slowly through the quiet Dragon Valley.
This was the secret language of the Dragon Clan, carrying apologies, requests, and the unique majesty of the Mountain Dragon King clan.
