The moment the mist over Dragon Valley was torn apart by the seven-colored divine light, the blinding radiance was like the dawning sun, instantly flooding the entire Dragon Valley.
Those skeletal remains that had been lurking in the shadows, silent for eons, actually flickered with a faint luminescence under the reflection of the divine light, as if sleeping behemoths had suddenly opened their eyes.
Arthur hovered in the sky, a seven-colored halo circulating around him, as the points of light in his Sea of Consciousness resonated with all the dragon bones in Dragon Valley with unprecedented intensity.
The position and size of every single bone, even the faint lingering aura of the dragon souls within the crevices, were clearly imprinted in his Spiritual Power without the slightest omission.
"This... what power is this?!"
Inside Dragon Valley, the White-rank Fighters of the Tang Sect suddenly looked up, their eyes filled with shock.
Although the seven-colored figure hovering in mid-air was only in human form, the aura radiating from him actually made them feel a sense of awe as if they were facing a Divinity, to the point that even their Soul Power almost stagnated.
"That's a human?" one fighter blurted out in a low voice, his finger trembling as he pointed toward the sky. "Look, those dragon bones... they're responding to him!"
Before the words had even finished, a low hum suddenly came from deep within the center of the valley.
Under the guidance of the seven-colored divine light, the remnant souls of dragon kings, such as the Wind Dragon King, actually began to slowly reveal their blurry phantoms.
They floated above the piles of dragon bones, their originally cold gazes now carrying a bit of complex scrutiny as they fell upon Arthur.
Yue's dragon soul also drifted to Arthur's side, his dark gold vertical pupils filled with shock, while he simultaneously reminded him, "Don't just focus on looking cool!"
Arthur glanced down at him.
He raised his hand and pressed down gently toward the ground below, and the seven-colored divine light around him suddenly split into countless streaks of light, like stars across the sky, slowly landing on every single dragon bone remnant.
Those bones that had been piled up in a mess actually began to move and return to their original positions under the shroud of the light, as if an invisible giant hand was arranging the remains for them.
In an instant, all the scattered dragon bones were restored to complete skeletons.
Having just obtained the seven-colored points of light, Arthur utilized them to their absolute limit.
"Seniors," Arthur's voice clearly transmitted into the remnant souls of the dragon kings. "I, Junior Arthur, have made a deal with the Mountain Dragon King Yue, and I am willing to bury the remains of the Dragon Clan. There is no disrespect in today's actions; I ask the Seniors to bear witness."
Arthur pointed one finger toward the sky.
A beam of light descended from the Douluo Plane outside the Small World.
He gripped the Holy Lance in his hand.
Using the Holy Lance as an anchor, he caused the Laws of the Douluo Plane to extend to this place.
Then, Arthur commanded the earth.
The hand holding the spear suddenly thrust downward. The Holy Lance was like a meteor crashing to the ground, accurately piercing into the soil in the center of Dragon Valley. At the point where the tip of the spear entered, a golden Law pattern suddenly spread out, entangling every restored dragon bone like a spiderweb.
The Earth Elements of the Douluo Plane moved in response, and the ground of Dragon Valley began to tremble slowly. The originally hard rock actually turned into soft soil, and under the pull of the power of the Law, it slowly rose up, forming neat mounds of earth.
Each mound corresponded to a dragon skeleton, their sizes varied, actually aligning with the ancient burial patterns of the Dragon Clan.
The phantom of the Wind Dragon King was the first to move. A faint green wind vortex swirled around it, brushing over those newly formed mounds, gathering all the scattered bone dust and gently covering the mounds, as if covering its kin with a final shroud.
"The power of Law... to actually be able to trigger the Origin of the Douluo Plane?" A dragon king phantom let out a low exclamation of wonder. In its originally cold gaze, the scrutiny finally faded a bit, replaced by a hint of recognition.
The Douluo Plane held special significance for the Dragon Clan.
"Your methods are even more efficient than I thought."
Yue watched, dumbfounded, even forgetting his previous dissatisfaction.
As the Mountain Dragon King, he was also a master of earth.
But compared to Arthur's special effects, he realized he was truly earthy.
Staring blankly at those properly settled dragon bones, Yue's expression changed instantly: "You should have said you had this ability earlier."
"Why even bother with a deal? I'll just give you my bone directly!"
"Phew..." Exhaling a long breath, Arthur finished his work and looked at Yue upon hearing this: "So impulsive?"
Yue's dragon soul choked for a moment, as if something had been hit, and his dragon tail awkwardly swept the ground.
Then, the yellow halo around him suddenly surged, transforming into a solidified band of light.
The Mountain Dragon King's bone that had just been buried broke through the soil once again.
The mountain dragon king torso bone shrank, turning into a size proportional to Arthur as it floated in front of him.
The yellow band of light wrapped around the shrunken torso bone, and the ancient patterns on the surface of the bone instantly lit up, as if a sleeping behemoth was being awakened, weaving layers of halos with the band of light.
Yue hovered to the side, his dark gold vertical pupils staring intently at the center of the bone, where a mark originating from the same source as his soul body was slowly flickering—it was the final bond for the Spirit Bone fusion.
"Sigh, this is the last trace of me. Treat it well."
Yue's roar hid his reluctance.
The band of light suddenly tightened and then abruptly released, turning into specks of luminescence that drilled into Arthur's forehead.
And the torso bone followed, drilling into Arthur's body.
The moment the torso bone entered his body, Arthur felt a searing and heavy power rush through his Meridians into his Dantian, crashing into and fusing with his own.
The seven-colored points of light in his Sea of Consciousness instantly erupted with a blinding radiance, wrapping around that power like a warm sun, smoothing out all the turbulence and allowing it to follow the pathways of his muscles and bones, slowly sinking and settling into his torso.
He looked down at his chest. Beneath his clothes, Dark Gold Rock Patterns faintly flowed, emitting a slight pressure.
Under the nourishment of this power, his Golden Body Realm physique emitted a subtle hum, and every inch of his muscles and bones felt as if they had been re-Forged, becoming even tougher.
"All right..." Yue's soul body swayed, his originally solid outline fading slightly, his tone carrying a sense of relief. "Although the power of the dragon bones is almost exhausted after serving as the Dragon Clan's habitat back then, and then through the eons of desolation and erosion in Dragon Valley..."
"But the status is still there; it's enough to benefit you endlessly."
Arthur pressed his hand against his chest, feeling that heavy yet easily controlled power. His fingertips brushed over the Dark Gold Rock Patterns flowing under his clothes, and a smile curled at the corners of his mouth: "Thanks. I accept this gift with satisfaction."
He could clearly sense that under the nourishment of the dragon bone's power, his Golden Body Realm physique was quietly breaking through its shackles. The toughness of his muscles and bones had increased several times over and was even still rising.
Even the speed of his Soul Power circulation had increased by a notch. More importantly, although this dragon bone's power was diminished, it still held the status of a Divine Rank Spirit Bone, making his use of Earth Elements far more concentrated than before.
Furthermore, his Spiritual Power had reached the Peak of the Spirit Abyss Realm. He only needed to break through the Bottleneck to enter the Spirit Domain Realm and stand at the Peak of the continent.
His Soul Power Rank was also stuck at sixty.
If Arthur wanted to, he could immediately use Xia Xi to condense a spirit ring and continue leveling up.
But he held back because... Arthur looked at Yue with piercing eyes.
Even as a soul body, Yue shuddered and said hesitantly, "You... what else do you want?"
