Chapter 31: The Origin of the Purple Emperor Annihilation Dragon Martial Soul?! A Divine Couple, Yu Luomian is So Angry She Spits Blood!
"Blue Lightning Tyrant Clan, is this going to create two gods in one family?!"
Just as various factions on the continent were reassessing the significance of the mysterious powerhouse Yu Jingcheng, golden light once again flowed across the Heavenly God Ranking.
The story of the Purple Emperor Annihilation Dragon and its wielder, Xu Jinlan, began to unfold slowly...
On the heavenly screen, golden light flowed, and an ancient scroll slowly unfurled, presenting a long-forgotten past to all the beings of the Douluo Continent.
The scene began not with a grand and magnificent spectacle, but with a quiet and elegant courtyard.
In the courtyard, a little girl, about six or seven years old, with her hair in two buns, was squatting on the ground. She was carefully using a small twig to play with a colorful butterfly.
Her expression was focused, her eyebrows curved, and she appeared serene and well-behaved.
[Her name is Xu Jinlan, born into a declining second-rate noble family—the Purple Crystal Family—in a small kingdom on the Sun and Moon Continent.]
The annotation on the God Ranking appeared at the right time, answering everyone's questions.
The scene shifted to the day of her Martial Soul awakening.
Unlike the grand awakening ceremony of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Clan, the Xu family's awakening ceremony was rather quiet. When the light of the awakening array enveloped little Jinlan, everyone held their breath.
However, what appeared in her palm was not the Purple Crystal Beast Martial Soul inherited by the family, but a small silkworm that was completely translucent, as if carved from purple crystal.
[Martial Soul: Purple Crystal Silkworm]
[Quality: Unknown (Suspected Useless Martial Soul)]
In an instant, the expectant eyes of the family elders turned into disappointment, and the peers around them let out undisguised snickers.
"It's just a bug, and a useless spirit at that!"
"What a pity for such a pretty little face. She probably won't even be able to become a Soul Master in the future."
Xiao Jinlan clenched her little fists tightly, stubbornly pursing her lips. She didn't cry, but a lingering sadness clouded her clear eyes.
The scene shifts again.
Ten years have passed, and the little girl has blossomed into a stunningly beautiful young woman.
During those ten years, she endured countless scornful looks and ridicule, but she never gave up on her cultivation. With extraordinary perseverance, she managed to cultivate her "useless martial soul" to level thirty.
However, a bottleneck soon followed. No matter how hard she tried, she couldn't acquire her third spirit ring, as if her martial soul was inherently flawed.
On a stormy night, heartbroken after another failed cultivation attempt, Xu Jinlan went alone to the back mountain of her clan.
She lay despairingly on the grass, letting the cold rain wash over her body.
Just as her consciousness was fading, her martial soul, the "Amethyst Silkworm," appeared uncontrollably, spitting out shimmering purple silk threads that enveloped her layer by layer.
(This can be understood as the bloodline hidden within the martial soul, and Xu Jinlan's accidental contact with the 'legacy' of the Purple Emperor Annihilation Dragon, just like the Dragon Slayer Blade martial soul of Dou San. The divine weapon merged into the bloodline, and from then on, the Purple Emperor Annihilation Dragon appeared in the form of a martial soul.)
A huge cocoon, shimmering with an eerie purple light, appeared atop the back mountain.
This scene caused countless soul masters on the continent to widen their eyes.
"Martial soul... can it be like this?"
"Is this... a second awakening?
Or a martial soul mutation?"
In the scene, the cocoon silently floated in mid-air, remaining suspended for seven days and seven nights.
On the morning of the eighth day, when the first ray of sunlight pierced through the clouds and shone on the cocoon,
"Crack—"
A crisp cracking sound rang out, and a crack appeared on the huge cocoon.
Immediately afterwards, the crack spread out like a spider web!
Boom!!!
An indescribable terrifying aura erupted from the cocoon!
That aura was domineering, majestic, and filled with a will to destroy everything! A purple-gold light shot into the sky, staining half the firmament purple!
Amidst countless shocked gazes, the cocoon exploded, and a slender and elegant figure slowly rose into the air.
Behind her, an unprecedentedly terrifying dragon spread its wings, blotting out the sky!
Its entire body was a deep and noble purple, as if forged from the purest amethyst divine iron.
On its scales flowed golden divine patterns, seemingly condensed from the core of the sun, mysterious and majestic.
Its horns were sharp and rugged, and its eyes, opening and closing, held a coldness and arrogance capable of freezing the soul.
That was not the domineering power of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon, nor the holiness of the Holy Light Dragon.
It was a pure, transcendent…destructive will!
[Breaking out of the cocoon, a dragon roars through the nine heavens.
Ultimate evolution of the Martial Soul—Purple Radiance Annihilating Dragon!]
The commentary on the God Ranking, with unparalleled majesty, vindicated this divine dragon!
Xu Jinlan slowly opened her eyes in the scene. She looked down at her hands, feeling the unprecedented, immense power within her.
A trace of confusion flashed in her eyes, but more so, the joy of rebirth.
With a slight thought, the Purple Emperor Annihilation Dragon behind her let out a deep roar, and a slender beam of purple-gold light shot out from its mouth, silently streaking across the sky.
In the distance, a thousand-meter-high mountain, upon contact with the beam, vanished without an explosion or a roar, simply… disappearing into thin air.
As if erased from a painting by an eraser, not even a speck of dust was stirred.
"Hiss—!"
At this moment, the entire continent resounded with gasps of astonishment.
This was… the power of the Annihilation Heaven?!
The scene shifted again.
After her Martial Soul evolved, Xu Jinlan became the most dazzling member of her family, but she chose to leave.
She was going to find her own path, to see this vast world.
On the outskirts of the vast Demon Forest, she encountered a young man.
The young man wore simple cloth robes, his black hair flowing down his shoulders. His eyes were calm and gentle, and there was no fluctuation of soul power about him; he seemed like an ordinary person.
However, a small pig-shaped ornament hanging from his waist revealed his identity as a Soul Master.
The scene froze at the moment the two met.
One was a young man who had run away from home, considered a disgrace by his family and burdened with the name of a "useless martial soul."
The other was a proud young woman who was considered an anomaly by the world and possessed an unknown and terrifying martial soul.
Their gazes met in the air.
The scene ended with the two standing side by side beside the corpse of a ferocious beast that appeared to be nothing more than a giant eye.
Behind them, the phantoms of the Holy Light Dragon and the Purple Emperor Annihilation Dragon roared to the sky.
Two completely different auras, holy and destructive, blended perfectly, shaking the universe!
[A chosen one of heaven meets a peerless beauty.
A divine dragon with a divine dragon, this is a match made in heaven.]
The golden image of the God Ranking slowly faded away.
But the shock it brought swept across the entire continent like a tsunami!
Blue Lightning Tyrant Clan.
"Pfft—"
Yu Luomian could no longer suppress the jealousy and rage surging within him. He coughed up a mouthful of blood, staggered backward, and his face was ashen...
