Chapter 20: Refining the Divine Fire Seed, the Tenth Ring? The Light Dragon King Achieves Godhood Autonomously?!
Upon hearing this, Ning Fengzhi, Chen Xin, and Gu Rong's hearts sank.
Who was this Spirit Kite Douluo?
They had never heard of him before.
Gu Rong slightly relaxed his brows.
"This Spirit Kite Douluo should be a newly promoted title, and his strength is at most level 95."
"With Ning Yuyan's level 96 strength and her Nine Treasure Glazed Dragon Martial Soul, she can definitely defeat him."
"The Supreme Elder is right."
"...At first, we fought desperately, but the difference in strength was too great, and we were defeated one after another. It seemed that the sect was about to be destroyed..."
The one-armed elder's voice paused, and his eyes revealed extreme awe and complexity.
"Just then, Yuyan... Miss Yuyan, she made her move."
His voice was hoarse as he recounted everything that followed.
"...Single-handedly, she first toyed with and suppressed Spirit Iris Douluo, then severely injured him with just one ninth soul skill!
Finally...she even killed that level 92 Title Douluo with a single finger!"
"What?!"
This time, it was Chen Xin and Gu Rong who exclaimed in shock!
The two exchanged a glance, both seeing disbelief and horror in each other's eyes.
They were both Title Douluos, and knew the terror of experts at this level.
Even with a level advantage, to severely injure someone with one move, to kill them with a single finger?
What terrifying strength was that?!
"Her martial soul...is the legendary 'Nine Treasures'! Het soul ring configuration...the ninth ring is 100,000 years!"
Elder Ming's voice trembled, as if he were telling a myth.
A 100,000-year soul ring! Ning Fengzhi was stunned.
For so many years, he hadn't thought about this question.
How did Ning Yuyan obtain a 100,000-year soul ring without the sect's help?
Chen Xin remained silent.
Gu Rong grinned, trying to laugh, but it was more like a grimace:
"Good heavens... truly good heavens!
I never expected she would actually obtain a 100,000-year soul ring that neither of us had. What an opportunity!"
"What... what did she say before she left?"
Ning Fengzhi came back to his senses, his voice dry as he asked.
This was the question he cared about most.
Elder Ming's face showed even deeper guilt; he dared not look Ning Fengzhi in the eye.
Lowering his head, he repeated Ning Yuyan's last resolute words word for word.
"...She said that from the moment she stepped out of the sect sixty years ago, 'Ning Yuyan' was already dead."
"The only one alive is Yu Jingcheng's wife."
These last words were like the sharpest ice pick, piercing Ning Fengzhi's heart.
Ning Fengzhi staggered back two steps, all color draining from his face.
So that's how it is...
Yuyan, she really had no feelings or manners towards the sect?
How could it come to this? How could it come to this?
She saved the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, yet she also used the most resolute way to tell everyone—she had nothing more to do with this place.
Ning Fengzhi slowly closed his eyes, two lines of clear tears sliding down his cheeks.
He didn't wipe them away, letting the cold tears flow down his face.
He knew he had lost his sister forever.
The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School had also forever lost a god who should have protected the sect, even led it to unprecedented glory…
Behind Ning Fengzhi, Gu Rong and Chen Xin exchanged a sigh.
Sun and Moon Continent, the Empire of Light, atop the Holy Mountain.
Inside a secret chamber.
Yu Jingcheng hovered silently in mid-air, his gaze fixed on the enormous cocoon of light before him.
Within the cocoon, the aura of the Light Dragon King was undergoing a cataclysmic transformation.
The divine fire seed awarded by the Heavenly Curtain for its Light Holy Dragon Martial Soul had been completely devoured.
At this moment, boundless divine power, like a bursting dam, was frantically washing over and transforming every inch of flesh and blood, every strand of soul within the Light Dragon King's massive body.
"Buzz—!"
Suddenly, a strange buzzing sound, seemingly from the dawn of the universe, emanated from within the cocoon.
Yu Jingcheng's eyes narrowed.
He clearly sensed the violent divine power within the Light Dragon King.
After reaching a certain critical point, it began to compress and condense in an incomparably profound way!
All the light, all the energy, was collapsing towards a single point at the core of its soul.
It was an ultimate destruction, and also an ultimate rebirth.
Time seemed to lose its meaning at this moment.
After an unknown amount of time, as all the energy storms subsided, the cocoon of light slowly became transparent.
Yu Jingcheng's gaze pierced through the light barrier, witnessing a scene that shocked even him.
Around the immense dragon soul of the Light Dragon King, a completely new and unprecedented soul ring had appeared!
This soul ring was extremely unique in form; it was not a physical entity, but rather composed of pure, highly condensed divine laws.
Its entire body shone with an indescribable, dazzling gold.
Countless fine runes, resembling the trajectories of stars, flowed across its surface, radiating a supreme divine might that transcended the mortal realm and surpassed all living beings.
It floated there silently, yet seemed to be the center of the entire world.
"This is…"
Yu Jingcheng's breath hitched slightly, a flash of understanding and surprise in his eyes.
"The tenth ring!"
"The Ring of the Gods!"
As the 'host' of the Light Dragon King, Yu Jingcheng instantly understood with a thought.
This was not a soul ring in the traditional sense, but rather the divine fire seed after being devoured and digested by the Light Dragon King.
It was the divine essence condensed from itself!
It was like a half-finished "divine position," or rather, a key to unlock the gate to godhood!
Possessing it meant that the Light Dragon King had already stepped halfway into the realm of gods!
And Yu Jingcheng's soul power level had also reached the final step.
"Although this divine fire seed didn't help me directly break through to become a god, it showed me a completely new path that doesn't conflict with my path to godhood through condensing faith!"
A golden light shone in Yu Jingcheng's eyes as he pondered.
"Roar—!"
A dragon's roar filled with endless majesty and joy resounded throughout the secret chamber, and the enormous cocoon of light shattered, dissipating into countless specks of light.
The transformed Light Dragon King appeared before Yu Jingcheng.
The Light Dragon King's size hadn't increased; in fact, it had shrunk slightly, but its dragon body had become more solid.
Each dragon scale seemed to be carved from the purest light crystal, with sacred patterns flowing naturally across it.
Most striking were its golden dragon eyes, which now held not only majesty and power, but also a divine wisdom that seemed to see through all things and overlook all living beings.
"Master," the Light Dragon King lowered its noble head, its voice filled with unprecedented respect and gratitude. "
I can feel that I have touched upon a completely new realm.
This 'Ring of Gods' seems to allow me to embark on the path to godhood on my own!"
