"Dragon God, please absorb the Soul Ring and soul bone quickly,"
"I will protect the law for you."
The weakened voice of the Temporal Dragon King emanated from his broken husk.
Compared to his previous ferocity, he seemed extremely wilted.
Luo Yu's divine eyes swept over the scene, observing the Dragon King's vitality flickering like a frail candle flame,
threatening to extinguish at any moment.
Luo Yu, without any pretense, cautiously said:
"Is it appropriate to absorb them here?"
"What if the Rakshasa God suddenly attacks?"
The Temporal Dragon King said, "Your caution is not without reason, but deities cannot descend lightly. The Rakshasa God hasn't sent down his divine thoughts to reinforce the chains for a long time."
"It should be safe by all accounts."
"Um..."
The corner of Luo Yu's mouth twitched, feeling the explanation to be a bit far-fetched.
He seemed to understand why the Dragon Clan, once so powerful, had fallen into decline.
It might have been due to their stubbornness.
That's why they were repeatedly calculated against by these deities.
"You can start absorbing now,"
The Temporal Dragon King said:
"With my assistance, you will be able to absorb my soul bone and Soul Ring more efficiently, halving both the time required and the pain you endure during the process."
Tang Chen couldn't help but mutter, "Don't be rash now; these God Rank soul bone and Soul Ring are great, but are you sure you can absorb them without bursting?"
"Whoever absorbs will explode."
Luo Yu's ears twitched slightly as he glanced back at Tang Chen,
his lips curling into a devilish smile.
"Old Tang, sorry about this,"
"but I already have six of such Soul Rings and soul bones."
"What... what?" Before Tang Chen could even react,
Luo Yu stomped his foot, and six dazzling golden Soul Rings soared up, pulsating rhythmically.
Tang Chen's eyes nearly popped out in an instant, his mouth agape.
A loud exclamation burst from him.
"Is... is that even possible for a human to have such Soul Rings?!?"
"How did you do it!!!"
He trembled all over, and Luo Yu's array of Soul Rings completely shattered his previous understanding.
As for Bi Bidong and the other ladies, they were quite composed, having witnessed it earlier.
At the same time, seeing Tang Chen's reaction,
they felt a bit more balanced inside.
After all, they had been just as shocked when they first saw Luo Yu's Soul Rings.
But inside, a different emotion was stirring.
They knew Luo Yu's Soul Rings were strong but didn't realize just how potent they were.
Now they finally understood where the man's Soul Rings came from.
All of them were of Dragon King caliber?
This was far beyond the simplicity of a million-year soul beast's production.
Bi Bidong's lips quivered faintly.
Compared to these Soul Rings, the golden soul rings of the Deepsea Devil Whale King were insignificant.
They were utterly inferior.
Her imagination, limited by her strength, could not even conceive.
What level of might would Luo Yu reach one day if he truly gathered the colored Soul Rings of all the Nine Great Dragon Kings, let alone possess nine Dragon King Soul Bones?
"Hiss..."
The others seemed to have realized this too.
They inhaled sharply, their eyes filled with unprecedented amazement.
Except for Hulena, the three had experienced legacies of the deities,
and they knew that Divine Armaments were composed of six ninety-nine thousand nine hundred ninety-nine-year soul bones.
So what sort of rank would Luo Yu's set—made up of Divine Bones surpassing a million years—be?
And it wasn't just six pieces, but an unprecedented nine.
Bi Bidong, Bossi, and Tang Chen, these three pinnacle beings of humanity, trembled yet again at the thought.
So ruthless.
Truly too ruthless.
Tang Chen shook his head repeatedly, looking at Luo Yu with fear.
What kind of monster would this guy become in the future?
He suddenly felt like he might have been a bit arrogant before; on what basis had he thought he could defeat Luo Yu once his strength was restored?
Lucky to have realized it early.
Otherwise, wouldn't it be a suicide mission?
Tang Chen shivered.
He remembered how he had been full of himself in front of Luo Yu, boasting about the Hao Tian Sect's secret techniques.
Could it be that I was the clown all along?
Luo Yu, of course, wasn't concerned about what Tang Chen might be thinking at this point.
To others, the Ancestor of the Haotian Sect was not someone to offend, but in his eyes, there really wasn't much difference between him and a clown.
He faced the Temporal Dragon King, pointing at the soul bone and hesitated:
"Which part of the human body does this soul bone correspond to, and why can't I distinguish it?"
"Hahaha."
The Temporal Dragon King laughed weakly:
"This is the rarest head bone among soul bones."
His words were filled with pride and confidence.
"Head bone?"
Tang Chen's eyes widened.
I didn't study much, but don't try to fool me?
How can this shape be a head bone??
Luo Yu closely examined the crystal-clear soul bone, his lips twitching slightly.
"Pardon my frankness."
"But I really can't see how this is a head bone."
The Temporal Dragon King explained: "It's not strange that you can't see it because this is not a complete head soul bone."
"Hmm? What do you mean?"
Luo Yu was puzzled and looked back at the crowd.
The crowd was also clearly confused.
The Temporal Dragon King patiently said:
"You are unaware."
"Time and space are one family, masters of the power of space-time."
"Unlike the single attributes of opposition such as water, fire, light, and darkness, space-time itself is an entity, merging two into one to display true power."
"Actually, my soul bone alone is incomplete."
"Only when combined with the Spatial Dragon King's soul bone, does it become a complete head soul bone."
Luo Yu understood.
"So, this is half of a head soul bone?"
"Exactly," the Temporal Dragon King affirmed.
Awesome, too awesome!
Tang Chen clenched his fists tightly to the side.
This is just too exaggerated.
Others absorb whole head bones, but Luo Yu here, does it by halves.
And his half, in terms of quality and level, just beats all the complete ones.
Damn!
Jealousy nearly drove Tang Chen to tears.
It wasn't that he wasn't calm at heart.
In the face of such unique treasures, one simply can't keep calm.
Too covetous.
If not for his remaining rationality, valuing his life, he would have rushed to fight for it already.
Luo Yu hesitated:
"Um... there won't be any problems if I absorb half a soul bone, right?"
"Wouldn't my left and right be unbalanced?"
The Temporal Dragon King replied: "That's why I am not comfortable with you absorbing it alone."
"With my assistance, I can help you fuse it more perfectly and even refine the other half of the head bone with the power of time."
"Okay!"
"But first, scan the surroundings for any hidden dangers to prevent sneak attacks."
Luo Yu acknowledged and began to adjust his state.
The Temporal Dragon King's Divine Soul Power surged as it probed all around.
"Rest assured, there is not the slightest trace of the Rakshasa's presence."
"That guy is definitely not around."
"It's very safe!!"
Luo Yu was about to sit cross-legged on the ground.
"Honored Dragon God, please mount upon me—how can you sit on the ground?"
"This... this isn't right," Luo Yu hesitated.
"It is my honor to be ridden by you, and besides, sitting on me makes it easier for me to assist you in absorbing the soul bone."
Hearing the Temporal Dragon King's respectful voice, everyone internally exclaimed.
At the same time, a restless figure hidden in the darkness was no longer able to hold back.
