...
Hearing everyone's laughter, Yu Luomian was about to speak up and sternly reprimand this outspoken little girl.
But when his gaze fell upon Xuan Hao's ambiguous smile, as if he were about to unleash a torrent of abuse, he swallowed the curse that had already risen to his throat.
never mind.
Yu Luomian forcibly suppressed the anger in his heart.
He now understood that trying to reason with this group of sharp-tongued, fearless brats was simply asking for trouble.
His only thought now was to quickly bring these living ancestors in to go through the formalities, and then immediately send them out of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan's gates.
He absolutely did not want any more trouble to arise!
"Cough!" Yu Luomian coughed heavily, turned his head with a dark face, and said, "Come with me, don't run around.
The lightning here is not something you can withstand."
Suppressing their laughter, everyone cautiously followed Yu Luomian into the thunder-swept valley.
As they ventured deeper, the free-floating lightning element in the air became increasingly violent, with tiny arcs of electricity occasionally leaping across the hems of their clothing.
However, with the soul power of two titled Douluo protecting them, these lightning bolts were unable to harm Ning Rongrong and the other juniors.
Soon, the group passed through the outer minefield and arrived at the very center of the valley.
When everyone saw what was happening before them, they all stopped in their tracks and gasped in shock.
Even the well-informed Ning Fengzhi, Gu Rong, and Dugu Bo were shocked, their pupils shrinking in disbelief.
What they saw was a magnificent sight that they would never forget.
In the very center of the valley, in the core area surrounded by countless thick bolts of lightning, stands an enormous head!
That was a real head belonging to an ancient dragon!
It lay quietly on the ground, like a small hill a hundred meters high, occupying most of everyone's view.
Having endured the erosion of countless years, the flesh and blood on this dragon head had long since turned to ashes, leaving only a pale and extremely hard giant skeleton.
What is both chilling and awe-inspiring is that even though only a skeleton remains, the enormous head still pulsates with a viscous, raging, deep blue electric light.
That domineering pressure originating from the ancient times pressed down on everyone's heart as if it were a tangible force, making people want to bow down and worship.
"Just the head... is a hundred meters tall!"
Gu Rong tilted his head back, swallowed hard, and said in a voice filled with undisguised horror, "God, if this thing were whole... then when it was alive, what a terrifying behemoth it must have been, blotting out the sky!"
"This is the foundation of my Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Clan—the remains of an ancient true dragon."
Yu Luomian looked at the enormous dragon head, his eyes filled with fanatical and devout awe.
"Our ancestors awakened the number one beast martial soul in the world by bathing in the true dragon thunder emanating from this skeleton."
Just as everyone was speechless with shock at the breathtaking scene before them, a clear, cold dragon's roar, tinged with nostalgia, suddenly echoed from the depths of Xuan Hao's mind.
The Ice Dragon King, who had been dormant within him, has awakened.
"I never expected to see its remains in this era."
The ethereal voice of the Ice Dragon King echoed in Xuan Hao's mind, "Little guy, the Jade Crown wasn't lying.
This is indeed a real dragon. Moreover, it's an ancient Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex with extremely pure bloodline."
"Ancient Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex?"
Upon hearing this, Xuan Hao asked in his mind with a puzzled look: "Sister Bing, isn't that a bit strange?
Although the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus outside is known as the number one beast spirit in the world, its size and power can't possibly be this ridiculously large.
Its head alone is bigger than a mountain."
"Ha, the so-called number one 'Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex' martial soul that humans talk about?"
The Ice Dragon King's voice revealed an undisguised contempt and disdain:
"That's nothing more than a subspecies that has become pitifully diluted with true dragon blood after countless generations of reproduction and degeneration.
The true ancient Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex is an extremely powerful branch of the ancient true dragon race under the command of the Dragon God.
They are born with the most extreme and violent destructive lightning power in the world!"
The Ice Dragon King sighed, his tone tinged with melancholy and reminiscence:
"It's a pity that the devastating war that swept through the entire God Realm and the Dragon Clan back then led to the complete extinction of countless pure-blooded true dragon species.
Even the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex clan is reduced to only a few mixed-blood subspecies that have survived to this day."
"The so-called 'Number One Beast Martial Soul in the World' inherited by the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Clan is nothing more than a flawed and incomplete product."
"If you have to find a reference point to describe the difference between the two, it would be the gap between you and the real Golden Dragon King.
You've only awakened the Golden Dragon Martial Soul and have a trace of Golden Dragon blood flowing through your body, yet you're already able to cross nearly twenty levels and fight against a Soul Douluo.
You can use your imagination to see just how devastating power the real Golden Dragon King, the ancestor of the Golden Dragon, possesses."
Xuan Hao took a deep breath and asked in his mind, "Then Sister Bing, do you think there are any remnants of that ancient dragon's soul left behind in this place?"
"It's hard to say. We'll have to test it and see if we can forcibly awaken it."
The Ice Dragon King pondered for a moment before explaining, "Although this Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex was powerful in its lifetime, it ultimately failed to take that step and transform from mortal to god.
Since it didn't become a deity, its dragon soul naturally cannot exist forever like mine and the Fire Dragon King.
However, judging from the lightning elements that still linger on its bones, its dragon soul should not have been completely worn away by time."
The Ice Dragon King's tone shifted, becoming somewhat urging: "Go over there and try it.
Get close and release your Golden Dragon bloodline aura to show it off.
If that dragon soul hasn't completely dissipated, it will definitely react if it senses the provocation of the Golden Dragon bloodline."
Upon hearing this, Xuan Hao's expression immediately turned strange.
In his mind, he frantically complained, "Sister Bing, are you serious?
In this hellish place where lightning strikes and knives rage, we're going to go to the grave of an ancient dragon and provoke it?!
What if that remnant soul has a violent temper and goes berserk, taking me down with it?"
"Go ahead without worry, it'll be fine, I'm here."
The Ice Dragon King assured him with absolute certainty.
Actually, the Ice Dragon King had half a sentence left unsaid.
The Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus clan of ancient times originally belonged to the Silver Dragon lineage, which wielded elemental power.
And now, the true ancestor of the elemental dragon race—the Silver Dragon King—is standing right behind Xuan Hao not far away!
If that remnant soul were truly awakened by the stimulation and sensed the Silver Dragon King's aura, it would never dare to act recklessly in front of its master, even if it had a thousand times the courage.
With the Ice Dragon King's backing, Xuan Hao wasted no more time and immediately strode towards the enormous head that was a hundred meters tall.
His movement startled Yu Luomian, who was standing nearby in awe.
His old face turned pale instantly, and he quickly stepped in front of Xuan Hao, blocking him firmly: "What are you doing?!
Stop right now!"
"Xuanhao, I'm warning you, whatever you do, don't come near!"
Yu Luomian, sweating profusely, pointed at the liquid lightning flowing on the skeleton and explained sternly, "The lightning on these bones is extremely strange and domineering;
it only recognizes bloodlines! If you possess my Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Martial Soul, even if you're just a child who has just awakened your Martial Soul, touching it won't pose any danger.
But if you don't have this pure bloodline within you, no matter how strong you are, once you come into contact with it, the power of the lightning will increase exponentially with each encounter!"
"Although you also possess a dragon-type martial soul, you are ultimately not the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex!
If you dare to touch that thing, even with that golden shield you just had, you will still be doomed!"
