Seeing the golden ninth soul ring on Gu Xuan's body, both Gu Rong and Chen Xin revealed expressions of absolute shock.
As everyone knew, the color of a soul ring was determined by its age: white for ten years, yellow for a hundred, purple for a thousand, black for ten thousand, and the top-tier red for a hundred thousand years. A golden soul ring was something they had never seen, and it was entirely unheard of.
Even though Gu Xuan had already retracted his soul rings, the sight they had just witnessed continued to flash before the two Elders' eyes.
"A golden soul ring? That Deep Sea Demon Whale King was truly that terrifying?!" Gu Rong and Chen Xin exchanged a look, both appearing utterly incredulous.
Gu Xuan flickered through the void, instantly arriving before the two Elders. He gave them a slight smile. "Grandpa, Second Grandpa, the harvest this time was quite good. The Deep Sea Demon Whale King not only granted me a million-year soul ring and soul bone but also allowed my physical constitution and mental power to completely reach the Demigod level."
"Although my soul power is temporarily only at Rank 97, once I have completely mastered this strength and my soul power breaks through the hundredth rank, I can begin working toward a true seat of Godhood."
Hearing Gu Xuan's words and recalling the golden ring they had just seen, Gu Rong and Chen Xin were profoundly shaken.
"A million-year soul ring?!" The two couldn't help but cry out in unison. "Doesn't that mean you now possess a million-year Soul Spirit?"
"That is a terrifying existence on par with Rank 100. Does such a thing really exist in this world?"
Gu Xuan smiled slightly and replied. "Please don't be so surprised, you two. Although the Deep Sea Demon Whale King's mental power successfully reached Rank 100, because it lacks a physical body, it won't trigger a tribulation. To me, it has simply increased my combat power by a fair margin."
"The greatest harvest is actually the million-year soul ring and soul bone skills the whale granted me. Combined, they total eight soul skills, and every single one is an extremely powerful existence."
"What?!" Hearing Gu Xuan's words, the two Elders exclaimed once more. A single soul ring and one soul bone had brought Gu Xuan eight soul skills? Was this the power of a million-year soul ring?
One must understand that while having more soul skills didn't necessarily mean a Soul Master was stronger—since using them consumed soul power, and one might not have enough to release them all—the benefits of having many soul skills were something others could never experience. Having enough soul skills, each being powerful, meant one could choose the most cost-effective soul skill to deal with any enemy. No matter what type of Soul Master you faced, you would never be helpless; in fact, with a reasonable combination of soul skills, you could achieve twice the result with half the effort.
With eight new powerful soul skills, the number of soul skills Gu Xuan now possessed likely surpassed even those of a twin martial soul user. Power attack, defense, space, long-range, melee, and even support... Gu Xuan had become a truly all-around Soul Master.
Currently, Gu Xuan was not only a Rank 97 powerhouse but was also capable of standing against ten thousand men alone. This was no exaggeration; the current Gu Xuan was simply too powerful.
Gu Xuan did not introduce his soul skills to the two Elders one by one, as there was no longer much need. When he was young, he would tell them as soon as he obtained a soul skill because his strength was average then, and he hoped for their guidance. But things were different now. Gu Xuan's strength had surpassed theirs by far; even if he told them his soul skills, it wouldn't bring him any improvement. Of course, unless his soul skills shared similarities with theirs, there was little point in telling them, as it would only take time to explain.
The eight new soul skills from the Deep Sea Demon Whale King's ring and bone—the first million-year level soul beast recorded on the continent—each provided four soul skills. While exaggerated, it was within the realm of acceptability.
"Xuan'er, you are now a Titled Douluo. Have you thought of your title?" Gu Rong asked.
Gu Xuan smiled slightly. "I have. My title shall be Dragon God."
Hearing this title, the two Elders looked at each other and then shared a smile. "Dragon God Douluo. This title is domineering enough and highlights your abilities. Not bad."
Gu Xuan didn't have much of a preference for titles, so he simply picked one that sounded good.
After reporting his advancement to the Elders, Gu Xuan took out the whale pearl left by the Deep Sea Demon Whale King. This item contained roughly one-third of the whale's total energy and was an absolute treasure. As a million-year soul beast's core, even a third of its energy would bring a massive boost to Super Douluos of Chen Xin and Gu Rong's level.
Of course, Gu Xuan wouldn't just hand the pearl to the Elders as it was, as that would be a waste.
Gu Xuan said. "Grandpa, Second Grandpa, this whale pearl contains one-third of the Deep Sea Demon Whale King's origin power. After we return, I'll give it to Uncle Ning so he can have it refined into a treasure pill for you. It should be enough for you to break through to a higher realm in a short amount of time."
The two Elders looked at him with disbelief. Hearing that this item could allow them to break through again so soon left them incredibly excited. They were still reaping the benefits brought by the Evil Spirit Orca King's pearl, so seeing this new pearl made them beam with joy.
Gu Rong didn't stand on ceremony with Gu Xuan, as the fact that he brought it out meant he didn't have much use for it himself. "You are very thoughtful," Gu Rong said, gratified, taking the pearl.
Gu Xuan then said to them. "You two should return to the clan quickly. Uncle Ning is currently preparing the unification plan and is in need of manpower. I won't see you off."
Hearing this, Gu Rong gave Gu Xuan a sidelong glance. "What, you're allowed to see Rongrong and the others, but we old men aren't allowed to go?"
Gu Xuan gave a bitter smile. "Grandpa, you've wronged me. It's just that it's not quite appropriate for you two to go right now."
Hearing this, Chen Xin nodded rationally. "Fine. Since matters on your end are settled, we shall leave."
After a few more words of caution, Gu Rong and Chen Xin departed.
Gu Xuan watched their departing figures, intending to head to Sea God Island to visit his wives. Suddenly, the slaughter brand on his forehead flashed, and his consciousness was pulled into a special space.
Sensing the familiar aura of slaughter, Gu Xuan surveyed the space. He found that only his consciousness had been summoned; his physical body was still standing quietly above the sea.
Gu Xuan knew this was the Asura God King using his inheritance mark to pull a stunt, though he didn't know the purpose. Could it be to bestow the godhood inheritance?
Back when Gu Xuan wanted it, the God refused to give it. Now that he no longer needed it, what did it mean for the God to come knocking on his own?
Just as Gu Xuan was lost in thought, a handsome man appeared before him. He was roughly 2.5 meters tall with purple-black hair reaching his shoulders, and an eight-armed divine wheel turned behind his back. The man stared at him with a deep, piercing gaze.
Before Gu Xuan could speak, the man's undeniable voice rang out. "Greetings, my successor. I am the Supreme Law Enforcement God King of the God Realm—the Asura God King. Your talent is rare even in the world. Even I, at your age, did not have your achievements. I have descended today to bestow the divine inheritance upon you. Are you willing to accept?"
