Invincible Divine Sword

Chapter 298: The Million-Year Soul Ring

Yang Xiaotian had two Supreme King Martial Souls.

This time, Yang Xiaotian planned to use his Black Dragon Martial Spirit to absorb the Abyssal Master’s Beast Soul.

Although the Black Tortoise and the Black Dragon were both Supreme King Martial Souls, Yang Xiaotian still preferred the Black Dragon Martial Spirit, perhaps because he came from Earth and held a special sentiment for dragons.

Therefore, he intended to use the Black Dragon Martial Spirit to absorb the Abyssal Master.

After all, the Abyssal Master was a Soul Beast nearing two million years of age, a once-in-a-lifetime encounter. To find another nearly two-million-year-old Soul Beast next time would likely be impossible.

The Black Dragon Martial Spirit hovered above Yang Xiaotian’s head.

Under Yang Xiaotian’s command, the Black Dragon Martial Spirit, reminiscent of the Ancient Divine Mountain, opened its maw and started swallowing the Abyssal Master’s Beast Soul.

Instantly, streams of black light surged continuously from the ball of light that was the Abyssal Master’s Beast Soul.

The black light signified the energy of the Abyssal Master’s Beast Soul.

However, this energy was immensely vast, like a massive tidal wave ceaselessly pouring into the Black Dragon Martial Spirit, swelling its body even though it had evolved to the Supreme King level.

And it kept swelling larger still.

The energy transformed from the Abyssal Master’s Beast Soul still stormed into the Black Dragon Martial Spirit like relentless, surging waves.

The Black Dragon Martial Spirit swelled to twice its size.

Yang Xiaotian was spiritually connected to the Black Dragon Martial Spirit and also felt a faint, excruciating pain in his consciousness.

He ceaselessly rotated the Primordial Dragon Art over and over again.

True Essence Dragons coiled around his body.

As the Primordial Dragon Art continued, the Black Dragon Martial Spirit’s absorption rate increased significantly, but even with the increased rate of absorption, it continued to expand.

The energy of the Abyssal Master’s Beast Soul exceeded Yang Xiaotian’s imagination.

If it were the energy of an ordinary million-year Soul Beast, the Black Dragon could have withstood it, but the Abyssal Master was not an ordinary million-year beast; it neared two million years.

The dragon body of the Black Dragon Martial Spirit began showing tiny cracks.

If it continued like this, the Black Dragon Martial Spirit would eventually burst.

As cracks appeared on the dragon body of the Black Dragon Martial Spirit, Yang Xiaotian’s spirit suffered intense pain.

An invisible force tore incessantly at his consciousness, and this severe pain originated deep within his soul.

Yang Xiaotian clenched his teeth tightly, persisting in rotating the Primordial Dragon Art.

The Black Dragon Martial Spirit continued to absorb the energy of the Abyssal Master’s Beast Soul over and over.

Time passed.

The cracks on the Black Dragon Martial Spirit’s dragon body grew larger.

Even the Dragon Scales on its body started to fall off.

Yang Xiaotian’s pain wasn’t just bone-deep anymore.

It hurt so much he wanted to scream aloud.

It hurt so much he thought about giving up.

The pain was ten, even a hundred times worse than being sliced by a thousand knives.

However, Yang Xiaotian knew that if he gave up, he would never be able to reach the pinnacle in this lifetime, and his Black Dragon Martial Spirit would bear scars that could never be erased.

By then, his Martial Dao heart would no longer be flawless.

Becoming a god in the future would likely be difficult.

So, no matter how much it hurt, Yang Xiaotian kept persisting in rotating the Primordial Dragon Art.

The Black Dragon Martial Spirit absorbed the energy of the Abyssal Master’s Beast Soul time and again.

Time ticked by, second by second.

The Dragon Scales on the Black Dragon Martial Spirit kept falling off.

Due to the extreme pain, Yang Xiaotian was nearing a comatose state.

Yet, he maintained the last bit of consciousness, not allowing himself to collapse.

Just when all the Dragon Scales had fallen off the Black Dragon Martial Spirit, suddenly, intense black flames erupted from the dragon body of the Black Dragon Martial Spirit.

Enveloped in black flames, the dragon body of the Black Dragon Martial Spirit began to sprout tiny scales once more.

And these scales grew robustly in the blink of an eye, densely covering the body again.

As the scales regenerated, the cracks on the dragon body of the Black Dragon Martial Spirit gradually healed.

Even the pain in Yang Xiaotian’s mind lessened significantly.

This filled Yang Xiaotian with surprise.

He hadn’t expected that after evolving into the Supreme King, the Black Dragon Martial Spirit would possess self-healing abilities.

The black flames were somewhat similar to the Phoenix’s nirvana flames.

However, after the dragon scales of the Black Dragon Martial Spirit had regrown all over its body, soon they were once again ruptured by the Abyssal Master’s Beast Soul energy, and the scales fell off once more.

But after all the scales of the Black Dragon Martial Spirit had fallen off, the black flames reappeared.

In this manner, the dragon scales of the Black Dragon Martial Spirit fell and then regrew time and again.

With each regrowth, the scales became increasingly glossy and the dragon’s body more resilient.

After nine times, finally, even the Beast Soul energy of the Abyssal Master, no matter how strong, could no longer rupture the dragon body of the Black Dragon.

The Black Dragon absorbed the other’s Beast Soul energy voraciously.

Eventually, the mountainous Beast Soul of the Abyssal Master began to shrink.

At first, it shrunk by one layer.

Then, it shrunk by two layers, three layers!

As the Beast Soul of the Abyssal Master shrank, a faint golden-red light ring appeared all over the Black Dragon’s body.

This was the Soul Ring.

A ten-year Soul Ring is the most basic and is white; a one-hundred-year Soul Ring turns yellow.

A thousand-year Soul Ring is purple; ten thousand years are impressive, represented by black.

A hundred thousand-year Soul Ring turns a purple-ish red.

But at this moment, Yang Xiaotian’s Soul Ring was red emitting golden light, gold mixed with red, and red interlaced with gold.

Several days later, the golden-red Soul Ring became brighter and more solidified.

When the golden-red Soul Ring solidified to the extreme, outside the golden-red light circle, another faint golden-red ring appeared.

One golden-red light ring signified that Yang Xiaotian’s Soul Ring had reached a million years; two rings indicated two million years. However, since the Abyssal Master was close to two million years old, the second ring was much fainter compared to the first.

Finally, the Black Dragon completely absorbed the Beast Soul energy of the Abyssal Master.

The Beast Soul of the Abyssal Master turned into a beam of black light and merged into the Black Dragon, becoming one with it.

The light of Yang Xiaotian’s Soul Ring surged.

It even illuminated the entire Hell Abyss, not only lighting up the entirety of the Hell Abyss but also the surrounding vast expanses of space, glowing red and shimmering gold.

Yang Xiaotian ceased the circulation of the Primordial Dragon Art.

Looking at the radiant Soul Ring light circles around him, Yang Xiaotian revealed a smile of joy that comes after surviving a calamity.

A million-year Soul Ring had finally coalesced!

Still, recalling the near-death experience and inhuman pain, Yang Xiaotian felt lingering fear.

Luckily, after evolving to the Supreme King, the Black Dragon Martial Spirit had acquired the ability to heal itself; otherwise, not only would the Black Dragon Martial Spirit have burst, but even his own soul might have been destroyed.

Master Ding then spoke with a laugh, “Not bad, you’ve finally managed to coalesce it. Your ability to form a million-year Soul Ring this time can be described as rebirth from a cocoon, the benefits for you are unimaginable.”

Yang Xiaotian also laughed happily, “I was able to form a million-year Soul Ring thanks to Master Ding; otherwise, I wouldn’t have been able to do it.” Then he said, “I didn’t imagine Master Ding’s original body was so large.”

Medicine Cauldron laughed and said, “This is still not my original body; my actual body is much larger than this.”

Yang Xiaotian was shocked, “This isn’t Master Ding’s original body?”

“My original body is larger than the entire Soul Beast Forest,” said Medicine Cauldron.

Larger than the Soul Beast Forest!

Yang Xiaotian was thoroughly astounded.
