--- Chapter 290 ---

A few months have passed after the Sun and Moon Continent's sudden attacks.

Yunlong finally turned 14 and experienced an enormous change in his body.

It wasn't puberty.

It's a transformation when one's body reaches the limit and goes through qualitative changes.

Yunlong only went through this phase once when he swam into the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well. When He consumed the miracle medicines and tempered his body in the well, he gained a unique physique resistant to poisons, heat, and cold.

It was such an incredible experience for Yunlong because he also shared a kiss with Qian Renxue on the same day.

At the highest step of Nine Heavens Staircases, Yunlong quietly meditated with over thousand tons of pressure placed on his body.

Usually, such pressure won't bother Yunlong even in the slightest.

However, what if Yunlong deactivated all his physical-effect skills? Active or not, and pushed his limit to the lowest.

He even deactivated [Supreme Dragon King Physique] because he wanted to squeeze out every drop of his raw potential.

Little Saixi observed Yunlong from afar on Kaguya's lap and curiously asked, "Daddy is smiling."

"Is it fun to get hurt by a mountain?"

Kaguya shook her head lightly and replied, "He didn't do it for fun."

"It's more like self-improvement," She continued. "Yunlong might have caught on some kind of enlightenment."

Since they couldn't continue the Sea God Trials until Bo Saixi healed her spiritual sea, at least to the point she could connect to Sea God's spirit and her body again.

Yunlong has to fill his time with a few types of research and rigorous training, including bonding with his companions.

He can improve their training speed by several folds with some motivation and rewards.

It was somewhat manipulative from Yunlong's side, yet he cannot let his companion get caught off guard like Bo Saixi.

"More..." Yunlong whispered to himself.

He could feel his entire body pulverized by the Nine Heaven Staircases' pressure, which means every inch of his muscles twitched in pain and agony.

Yunlong gritted his teeth and ignored the snobbish pain all over his body.

"Come one, give me more." He added while looking down at the stairs.

Crack!

Yunlong's bone cracked by the sheer pressure.

"Yeah, like this." He chuckled because that's more like it.

A series of bone-cracking sounds echoed like a melody to Yunlong's ears.

Yunlong sat with a destroyed body, but even a broken spine wasn't enough to make him bow.

He opened his mouth and waited for Neo to assist him with a body tempering pills made of precious medicine and some poisonous blood.

Yunlong's body was on a never-ending cycle of destruction and rebirth.

A person would die experiencing a quarter of the cycle, showing just how fearsome one's will to endure such painful torture training.

.

.

.

"I could feel it."

Yunlong's spiritual energy surged and dispersed at the same time. He hasn't realized it yet, but a few weeks have passed since he started this training.

"Phew..."

He breathed out slowly and opened his eyes, seeing snow falling on the Sea God Island.

SSHHHH! Crack!

Yunlong's body released extreme burning steam and melted the snow around him. His skin was ashen and crumbled into a speck of dust, revealing new creamy skin with a faint dark crimson luster.

"Body Metamorphosis."

[You have attained Celestial Beast's Body]

[You have gained Otherworldly Aura Mastery]

[You have learned Aura: Domination]

[You have learned Aura: Strengthening]

[You have learned Aura: Observation]

[You have learned Aura: Beast Lord's Sensory]

Yunlong's hand emitted dark-crimson energy and clenched it tightly, causing his entire body to erupt with Aura.

[Name: Celestial Beast's Body]

[Type: Passive Skill/Unique Physique]

[Description: A unique physique birthed through extreme self-tempered training, pushing one's body to its limit]

[Effect: Aura Genesis]

He breathed calmly and sensed new mighty energy within his body. It's different from spirit energy or spiritual force.

"Domination, Strengthening, and Observation." Yunlong's eyes shone with crimson luster. He could feel that Aura is more like a raw form of Intent itself.

Domination is the ability to overpower an enemy's will with Aura.

Strengthening is the ability to strengthen oneself or an object with Aura.

Observation is, like it implies, an ability to observe the material or non-material world with Aura.

"It's similar to Haki?" Yunlong commented while testing the last skill.

BOOM!

Yunlong's silver hair darkened, and his eyes gained a beast-like characteristic. His upper body gradually was covered by rough silverish fur.

Zhu Zhuqing and Zhu Zhuyun, who were in the middle of training, abruptly jolted in excitement. Like a cat in heat, their bodies bent instinctively on the ground.

"Master?" Zhu Zhuyun's cat eyes scanned the Nine Heaven Staircases.

"Yunlong?" Zhu Zhuqing's body shivered in delight because of Yunlong's beast-like Aura.

Yunlong somehow could feel the Zhu Sister's intention from afar without using telepathy or blood connection. It was sudden, but they clearly desired to mate with him.

Unlike when Yunlong used dragon aura or blood, this raw sensation was more primal and resided within their spines.

He smirked and deactivated [Beast Lord's sensory], leaving both catgirls to pant heavily in their training places.

"It's not the right time," Yunlong commented while shaking his head. "We need more power before we could even take a break."

Yunlong lifted his body off the 999 steps and noticed he was butt naked without any strand of threads.

He snapped his finger and created clothes with [Thousand Miracles' treasury], which were basically duplicates of his usual outfits.

In short, He wore fitted black pants and a short-sleeved gray shirt, completed with a white spirit hall robe.

Yunlong walked down casually and was unaffected by the Nine Heavens Staircases. He rejoiced in every part of spirit energy in this place, storing it inside a red spirit ring.

It's a spirit ring he gained after devouring Xiao Wu and Tang Xiao's souls.

He combined three spirit rings into one with a reasonable amount of system points, forming a more powerful one.

[Name: Unknown]

[Type: Spirit Ring]

[Cultivation Age: 969.000 years old]

[Description: A spirit ring contained Soft Boned Rabbit's essence and two more rare spirit beast's power, evolving with the power of Nine Heaven Staircases]

He looked at the faint gold marks on the floating red spirit ring and whispered, "I've been absorbing the energy within this place too passively."

"Well, what can I do? I was meditating for a few days, probably."

(An: It's a few weeks)

Yunlong stopped at the 696 steps and stared at the snowy sky with a calm gaze.

"Sea God, since you're my mentor."

"It's okay for me to use your treasure, right?"

"You've trapped me in your scheme, after all." A wide grin appeared on Yunlong's face. "Then, it should be fine for me to manipulate it for my goods, right?"

He chuckled mischievously and used True Saint Dragon's [Harmony Flow], initiating the spirit energy in the area.

The Sea God Island trembled.

No, The entire ocean trembled.

The Sea God Island is the heart of the seas, and Yunlong took advantage of it by gathering every spirit energy on the ocean with [Harmony Flow].

Yunlong's eyes flickered with delight because over a hundred thousand years' worth of spirit energy arrived at Sea God Island.

"Let's see..." He used [Harmony Flow] to refine this raw spirit energy into the red spirit ring.

[Cultivation Age: 969.000 years old]

[969.690...]

[970.000...]

[970.420...]

The cultivation age of the red spirit ring skyrocketed at a fast pace, jumping from 100 years to 1000 years old per second.

Yunlong couldn't maintain such an amount of steal- Absorption for too long. He has to stop when the red spirit ring reaches a million years.

A minute passed quickly, and Yunlong deactivated [Harmony Flow], sitting on the 696 steps.

He called [Thousand Miracles Handkerchief] and saw the red spirit ring transforming in color. A glimmer of golden light began to eat out the red part of the spirit ring.

"Neo, calculation." He called his system.

[You have 90% success in absorbing this spirit ring, Host]

[However, Please bear in mind that you have to use [Mortal Sin: Gluttony] and [Harmony Flow] at the same time]

[10% chance of failing based on the unknown mental shock you would experience when absorbing the spirit ring]

[Are you ready, Host]

"You don't have to ask me," Yunlong smirked while pushing the spirit ring into Thousand Miracles Handkerchief.

Kacha!

The red spirit ring exploded and reappeared as a completely different spirit ting in the sky, shining with brilliant golden light.

"It's good that I have placed several barriers around the Sea God Island," Yunlong commented while closing his eyes.

"No annoyances."

He meditated and entered a trance-like stage.

A white world entered Yunlong's sight, and a white-haired lady appeared in front of him.

She possessed Xiao Wu's adult appearances, minus her personality. A beautiful face without any emotions and a slender body with bountiful assets.

If Greed is here, they will look like a twin sister with different hair colors and heights.

"Who are you?" She asked monotonously.

Yunlong stared at her and answered, "Your owner."

"My owner? What's that?" The white-haired lady frowned at Yunlong.

"..." Yunlong.

He sighed a little to himself and used his Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan. "What's your last word?" He questioned while trying to grasp her forehead.

"Last word... What's that?" She returned with a confused tone.

"Is it edible?"

Yunlong's mouth gaped in wonder because this white-haired lady wasn't Xiao Wu anymore. She is a totally different presence than the rabbit spirit beast.

"Can you tell me more about those?" The white-haired lady jumped through voids and stood in front of Yunlong, gazing at him curiously.

Yunlong frowned at the white-haired lady because it wasn't spatial or time manipulation. She casually jumped through nothingness.

"Don't tell me..." He muttered to himself.

.

.

A few hours have passed in the real world, but more than three years passed within the Ring Absorption space.

Yunlong calmly answered the white-haired lady's question without sleeping. He realized she was a new entity birthed through his spirit ring fusions.

The white-haired lady took over Xiao Wu's appearance because Yunlong used Xiao Wu's spirit ring as the base.

"Do you want a name?" He asked gently.

"A name..." The white-haired lady pondered for a moment.

After a moment, she nodded and waited for Yunlong to grant her a name.

"Alpha, my first spirit soul."

"I see, so my name is my first spirit soul, thank you-," Alpha answered immediately.

"Are you serious?" Yunlong sighed in defeat.

Alpha chuckled a little and replied, "It's a joke, Master."

"Thank you for naming me, Alpha."

"It means a lot to me."

She beamed and hugged Yunlong slowly, wrapping him in her warmth. "I felt like I properly exist now." She added with a grateful look.

--- Real World ---

"Woah, Daddy's spirit ring looks cool!" Little Saixi pointed at the enormous gold spirit ring in the sky.

"Oh, It changed color?!"

The previously gold spirit ring turned into a platinum spirit ring with mysterious characters around it.

A white-haired silhouette appeared in the center of the platinum spirit ring and triggered a tribulation of lightning.

BOOM!

A bolt of ferocious golden lightning dropped from the sky and fell onto Yunlong's body.

[Special Traits: Annihilation Lightning evolving...]

BOOM!

Yunlong opened his eyes and grasped the lightning itself with his hand. He clenched the lightning punishment and swallowed it with his mouth.

A thousand more golden lightning fell onto Yunlong, yet he instinctively swallowed them into his endless stomach.

[Mortal Sin: Gluttony overjoyed]

[!!!]

[Mortal Sin: Gluttony Demanded more lightning]

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

Like an endless storm, Yunlong absurdly was bombarded by thousands of golden lightning. It was such weird scenery for everyone who witnessed it from afar or close.

Everyone who looks from afar guesses it was wrath from heaven because someone in Sea God ISland provoked the Gods.

However, everyone who witnessed it closely at the assessment place saw Yunlong having all-to-eat buffet lightning.

Yunlong devoured over 100k bolts of lightning and absorbed a fraction of the Divine Energy left by the universe.

It's a limitation placed on the Douluo Planet, making no living beings can reach level 100 spirit power or 1M years old for spirit beast without God's Trial.

Of course, when Yunlong took control over the Douluo Planet in the future, the limitation level would increase naturally.

[Annihilation Lightning gained a destruction attribute]

[Annihilation Lightning > Heaven Punishing Lightning]

"Phew, that was something," Yunlong commented while patting his stomach. He was unaware of the weird gaze from the people under Nine Heaven Staircases.

"DADDY IS SO COOL!" Little Saixi shouted excitedly.
