Chapter 649: The Heavy Sense of Responsibility, the Temporal Dragon King's Super Soul Bone!_1
The Temporal Dragon King abandoned the idea of having Luo Yu help himself escape.
He let out a deep sigh.
For through what Luo Yu exhibited, he suddenly realized that the man was embarking on an earth-shattering endeavor.
Through the fusion of the Dragon God Martial Soul and the power of the Nine Great Dragon Kings, if ever successful, it would undoubtedly be an unprecedented event in history.
The Temporal Dragon King said spiritedly,
"Dragon God, to speak frankly with you."
"After experiencing the Great War in the Divine Realm, though I'm loath to admit it, I've come to believe in my heart that the Dragon Clan is doomed to decline."
"No divine beast under the heavens shall possess its former glory; they are doomed to be suppressed, with no chance of rising again."
"But having seen you today, hope has reignited within me."
"If what you're attempting to do comes to fruition, what are Divine Kings, what is the Divine Realm but a trifle!"
"My Dragon Clan shall reign supreme over all heavens for countless eons."
As he spoke, the Temporal Dragon King became excited.
A far cry from his former mournful roars.
Loud and clear.
"Roar!"
Bi Bidong beside him was struck dumb.
Luo Yu had not yet said a word.
And yet, this guy had already started bootlicking.
The Temporal Dragon King ceased his roar, but the Underground Space continued to tremble ceaselessly.
He couldn't help but exclaim,
"What you're doing is truly shocking."
"To be a part of it is my glory."
"I shall offer up my Divine Bone and God Ring to accomplish your heaven-defying path of slaying the gods."
"Ah..."
Luo Yu's face was a picture of astonishment.
So direct, is this how the Dragon Clan always is?
"You really don't care about your own life?" Luo Yu couldn't help but ask.
"Hahaha."
The laughter of the Temporal Dragon King echoed throughout the Underground Space.
"To report to you, Dragon God,"
"I, Zals, have struggled against the Rakshasa God for ten thousand years; my spirit and vitality have long been exhausted, and my life force is at its end."
"If you had not arrived, I would probably have been consumed by the Rakshasa God in the end."
"Given these circumstances, why shouldn't I offer myself to my king, rather than letting that beast benefit?"
Luo Yu instantly understood.
Why from the very beginning until now, the massive dragon form before him had never opened its eyes.
It turns out that the body of the Temporal Dragon King was almost lifeless, and only sustained by its Divine Spirit.
Could his earlier actions of using Divine Power to strike the Formation be seen as a mad fling before death?
The last stubbornness of the Dragon King?
It was fortunate that the Temporal Dragon King couldn't eavesdrop on Luo Yu's thoughts, or else his mentality might have exploded outright.
Questioning him, are you even polite?
"Roar!"
A fierce cry came from within the Temporal Dragon King.
That massive body seemed as though it was going to revive, as a terrifying fluctuation surged from within.
Bi Bidong and the girls were shaken to the core.
The Dragon King is a Dragon King, after all.
Even though it was on the verge of expiring, the might it displayed was still so terrifying.
"Roar!"
With the Divine Spirit of the Temporal Dragon King urging on, it briefly came back to life.
Its eyes suddenly opened wide.
Revealing a pair of diamond-like, resplendent, and majestic dragon eyes filled with an indifferent chill towards all life.
He opened his massive jaws, displaying fearsome and sharp dragon teeth.
Gaping mouth facing upwards.
"Rakshasa scum, your chains may stop me from escaping, but can they prevent my self-destruction?"
"Whatever schemes you are concocting, they will come to naught today."
"Hahaha."
He lifted his gaze toward Luo Yu, who stood erect and radiant like a javelin.
Hope flickered intensely in his dragon eyes.
"Dragon God, the future of the Dragon Clan is in your hands now."
"Alas, I shall not live to see the day you set foot upon the Divine Realm and suppress the gods."
The Temporal Dragon King's voice was filled with deep regret, but above all, exhilaration.
Luo Yu stood there tall and straight.
His black eyes were profoundly deep, and the edges of his pupils shimmered with a nine-colored hue.
He made no superfluous movements, his lips parting and closing.
"I will settle scores in the upper realm."
"That day—"
"Will not be far."
With Luo Yu's response, the Temporal Dragon King's body burst forth with a magnificent silver radiance.
Dragon Might permeated.
"With a word from my king, I, Zals, would die without regrets."
"It is my honor to assist you in achieving the supreme!"
"Swish!"
A strong silver light exploded at that moment, shining throughout the entire Underground Space.
Indescribable fluctuations rippled out.
Dragon chants resonated.
Bi Bidong and the others felt their eardrums vibrate, their eyes stung, and they went blind for a moment, unable to see anything before them.
After a long time, everything calmed down.
Everyone reopened their eyes.
Their hearts and minds were stirred.
The once majestic and enormous dragon body was now shriveled and withered.
The shining Dragon Scales had lost all their luster.
If before it was the robust body of a Dragon King, now it was a thoroughly decayed dragon corpse, devoid of all life.
And in front of the dragon body appeared two bright silver orbs.
Divine charm pervaded, and the aura was mystical.
"What is this?"
Tang Chen stared intently at the two orbs of light, and although he did not know what was inside, the high-rank aura was more special than any treasure he had seen in his lifetime.
Even the Shura Divine Sword seemed inferior.
"Could it be..." Bi Bidong's voice trembled as if she had thought of something.
The two silver orbs flew straight toward Luo Yu.
Their true form appeared.
A colorful ring emerged, floating in mid-air.
The other was a crystal clear, elliptical, and transparent bone, of a unique shape.
"These… these are Soul Ring and soul bone?"
Bossi was shocked, his face filled with astonishment.
Tang Chen swallowed hard.
He looked at the body of the Temporal Dragon King, then at the ring and the bone.
My goodness, this is no small matter!
What level of Soul Ring and soul bone could these be?
Are these things even absorbable by humans?
Hulena's beautiful eyes went blank; while she was still figuring out how to obtain a ten-thousand-year Soul Ring.
Brother Yu wasn't even sparing a glance at red soul rings and was already on the path to obtaining a God Rank Soul Ring?
"Teacher, which part of the body does that soul bone belong to, and why have I never seen it before?" Hulena asked with eyes full of amazement.
On hearing this, everyone carefully scrutinized the object.
But none could identify it.
Bossi said, "This doesn't look like a skull, limb bones, or torso bone. Could it be an attached soul bone?"
"What kind of attached soul bone has such a weird shape." Bi Bidong shook her head repeatedly.
The corners of Tang Chen's mouth twitched.
Was the type of soul bone what should be shocking?
Shouldn't the shock be about the level of the Soul Ring and soul bone!!!
Where exactly are your focuses?
His gaze toward Luo Yu was filled with indescribable complexity; he never imagined encountering such preposterous events in his life.
Luo Yu looked at the Soul Ring before him.
His mood was inexplicable.
Perhaps it was the influence of the Dragon God Martial Soul.
Or perhaps it was the emotions that naturally rose within him.
At this moment, he was not excited or overjoyed at obtaining a treasure.
But instead, he felt a heavy sense of responsibility.
The Temporal Dragon King sacrificed his life to empower him, but was it for Luo Yu to become stronger?
No.
It was for the clan.
Luo Yu looked up at the ruined body of the Temporal Dragon King.
His words were deliberate and calm:
"Rest assured."
"Your sacrifice will not be in vain."
"The debt of the Dragon Clan, will be repaid."
