Chapter 171: The Strongest Torso Soul Bone in History, Bashful Demon Queen Ziji [Four Updates!]_1

Even though Luo Yu was mentally prepared, the sight before his eyes was still shocking.

The vast, gloomy deep valley below was filled with huge dragon bones of various colors.

These remains of the Dragon Clan spread out as far as the eye could see, creating an immensely desolate scene.

Gu Yuena's mood became somber, her usually cold voice slightly hoarse.

"You see," she said, "these are the dragons of the Divine Realm that perished in the war of that year."

Luo Yu slowly nodded his head.

The sheer number of Dragon Clan remains below was well over a thousand, enough to imagine the intensity of the ancient battle.

Perhaps because he possessed the Dragon God Martial Soul, a sense of sadness surged from within him.

Gu Yuena bit her red lips, her emotions surfacing from sorrow.

"Let's go down," she said.

When Luo Yu arrived below, it was as if he had entered a forest made of giant dragon bones.

The Titan Ape and the Azure Oxpython were already frightening in size.

But if they were here, they would pale in comparison to these remains of the Dragon Clan.

The shortest giant dragon skeleton here was forty to fifty meters tall.

Walking beneath them, Gu Yuena and the other two looked as insignificant as ants.

Passing by a giant dragon bone with red patterns measuring over fifty meters, Luo Yu couldn't resist extending his hand to gently touch it.

Before he could even take in the rough texture,

the red patterns on the dragon bone seemed to come alive.

"Roar!"

A mournful dragon chant resonated.

The tall red skeleton sparked into a brilliant red light, as rich fire elemental energy burst forth.

An extremely wild power invaded Luo Yu's mind, manifesting a phantom of a fiery red giant dragon in his spiritual world; the phantom let out an unwilling roar.

"Sigh," Luo Yu said quietly, his expression unchanged.

"Beasts die like extinguished flames."

"Rest in peace."

He activated his Dragon God Martial Soul to appear in the spiritual world, revealing the authoritative pressure of a high-ranking being.

Sensing the aura of the Dragon God, the fiery dragon phantom's frenzied roar stopped abruptly.

The dragon's eyes regained a momentary clarity, and it respectfully knelt before the Dragon God Phantom.

And then it gradually dissipated in Luo Yu's spiritual world.

Luo Yu couldn't help but look at Gu Yuena, "These members of the Dragon Clan died so many years ago and haven't completely dissipated. I'm afraid each of them had at least the strength of a Deity Level in life, right?"

Gu Yuena nodded, "You're right. The remains in this deep pit, each possessed God Rank power in life, though there were strong and weak among them."

"However, within the Dragon Clan, only the Nine Great Dragon Kings and I, along with the Golden Dragon King, had the strength to reach Level One Deity status," she said.

"The opportunity I've prepared for you this time actually has something to do with the Dragon Kings," she added.

Luo Yu pondered, "The opportunity you have prepared for me, it wouldn't be to absorb the soul bone of a Dragon King Level, would it?"

Gu Yuena looked at him with utter astonishment.

"How did you know?" she asked.

"It was easy to guess," Luo Yu said with a smile, spreading his hands, "It's like the louse on a bald man's head—it's quite obvious."

Gu Yuena pouted.

"Everything can be guessed by you, it's really no fun, there's no surprise at all," she complained.

Luo Yu shook his head, "There are things I can't guess. For instance, right now I really can't figure out which one of the Dragon King's soul bones you want me to fuse with."

"There are five of the Nine Great Dragon Kings here. If you have the ability, you can absorb all of them," she revealed.

"It's just a pity that the Water, Fire, Time, and Space Dragon Kings are not here. It's difficult to trace them. Otherwise, if we collected all nine of the Great Dragon Kings..." she said, not finishing her sentence, and a look of regret appeared on her pretty face.

"You mentioned the Water-Fire Dragon King?" Luo Yu said, looking perplexed.

Gu Yuena quickly asked, "What, do you know where they are?"

Luo Yu clicked his tongue in wonder, "I am standing right in front of you, and you still haven't sensed their aura. It seems that the ability of my Pure Divine Body to hide its presence is pretty good."

"What do you mean?" Gu Yuena asked, a look of hesitation in her eyes.

Luo Yu activated the soul bones of the Water-Fire Dragon King in his arms.

"Roar!"

Red and blue bloomed, and the two dragons roared in unison.

Gu Yuena and Zi Ji were both shocked as they looked at Luo Yu.

"The aura of the Water-Fire Dragon King!"

"You actually found them and successfully absorbed their soul bones?"

Once again, Luo Yu left Gu Yuena astounded.

Before I could offer help, this fellow had already absorbed two Dragon King Soul Bones on his own?

How did he do it?

This is a bit too monstrous.

My bold hypothesis might actually have a chance to come true with this man.

Gu Yuena's eyes were complex as she looked at Luo Yu.

"Since you've successfully absorbed two Dragon King Level Soul Bones, I'm completely at ease now. I was originally worried whether your body could withstand it."

Luo Yu asked curiously, "So whose Soul Bones are we going to absorb now?"

"Follow me."

Very soon, a daunting dragon-shaped skeleton appeared before Luo Yu.

This set of Dragon Bones was certainly over a hundred meters in height, presenting a brown color throughout. Rich earth elements burst forth from within the bones, exuding an immensely heavy aura.

The most distinctive feature was that, unlike the Water-Fire Dragon King, who had a giant pair of wings, this set of Dragon Bones had none.

The bones were unusually thick, and the limbs were like pillars supporting the heavens.

"This is..." Luo Yu's eyes sparkled.

In the face of this colossal being, even Gu Yuena's demeanor showed a touch of reverence.

"This is the remains of the Mountain Dragon King, the foremost among the Nine Great Dragon Kings."

"The Mountain Dragon King is the true king of the earth, and if it were on the ground, even the Golden Dragon King at the peak of its power may not necessarily be its match."

Luo Yu looked up at the entire set of Dragon Bones from a close distance, faintly sensing a surge of vicious aura rising to the sky, revealing endless resentment and unwillingness.

In the middle of its backbone was a sword scar, torn from head to tail.

Luo Yu frowned, "Did it also fall at the hands of the Asura God?"

Gu Yuena clenched her teeth, "That's right, during the great war in the Divine Realm, most of the Dragon Clan died under the Shura Divine Sword."

Luo Yu nodded, stepped forward to the skeleton of the Mountain Dragon King, revealing the aura of the Dragon God Martial Soul.

"If I take your Soul Bone, I accept your cause and effect."

"When my cultivation is sufficient, I can avenge you."

Perhaps it was the long-missed aura of the Dragon God that it felt.

Perhaps it was Luo Yu's declaration that it heard.

The previously silent Mountain Dragon King Bones suddenly began to tremble.

Brown light erupted, causing the entire ground to start shaking as well.

Gu Yuena seized the opportunity to make her move.

Silver Divine Power burst forth, enveloping the entire Mountain Dragon King Skeleton.

The sound of a dragon's chant rose, and silver light shimmered.

A strange transformation occurred.

Two silhouettes, guided by Gu Yuena, shot out from the gigantic bones and floated in front of Luo Yu.

A brown-gold Soul Ring.

A trunk-like brown Soul Bone.

Both exuded an extremely heavy and solid aura, as if the roar of a Dragon King echoed within them.

Gu Yuena spoke, "This is the Mountain Dragon King's Soul Ring and Soul Bone. Since you've already absorbed the Soul Bone of the Water-Fire Dragon King, I won't elaborate further."

"However, there is one point I must emphasize."

"The Mountain Dragon King's torso bone is the strongest torso bone in the world."

"And among the six major Soul Bones of the human body, the torso bone is the most important one."

"Absorbing it will bring you benefits completely incomparable to the arm bone of the Water-Fire Dragon King. Your physique will undergo a qualitative leap, and you'll have the capital to absorb other Soul Bones without any reservations."

Luo Yu nodded, "Understood."

"No, you don't understand," Gu Yuena said. "The greater the benefit, the higher the risk."

"Absorbing the Mountain Dragon King Soul Bone will be much harder than absorbing the Soul Bone of the Water-Fire Dragon King."

"They transformed your arms, but the Mountain Dragon King Soul Bone will transform your torso."

"The slightest mistake can easily lead to your body exploding."

Warned, Luo Yu fell into thought.

Looking back.

He had some difficulty absorbing the Soul Bone of the Water-Fire Dragon King, and it was only with the help of Ning Rongrong and Ye Lingling's Soul Fusion Skill that he was able to lessen much of the pain.

With his current level of cultivation, absorbing the Mountain Dragon King Soul Bone might be a bit too premature.

Seeing the man furrow his brows, Gu Yuena suddenly smiled.

"Don't worry, I've thought ahead for all of this."

"Zi Ji, come here."

"Yes!"

A cold beauty, with her perfect jade-like body wrapped in a black veil dress, walked over…
