Chapter 569: The Third Ring of the Dragon God, Mastery of the Light Element

Su Yu kissed Gu Yuena several times with force to relieve his frustration. Only after that did he embrace her, burying his face in her silver hair.

No one knew how much time had passed before Su Yu finally let go, his expression calm once again.

"Are you done making a fuss?"

Gu Yuena rolled her eyes.

Su Yu shot a glare right back, replying irritably, "Hmph, who told a certain dragoness to have the bigger fists now?"

"I have not reached my full strength yet. When I do, things will change," Gu Yuena said with a hint of amusement. This guy, he truly didn't hide his ambition at all.

But so be it. When the day came that he truly became the Dragon God, even if she had to listen to him, it wouldn't matter.

"Let's go back," Gu Yuena suggested.

"No rush!"

Su Yu shook his head. "Let me absorb the third soul ring from the Dragon God Seal first."

With that, Su Yu sat cross-legged.

The Dragon God Seal spun nimbly in his palm.

Above the seal floated two soul rings: one azure-gold and one blue-gold.

One was a pure wind-element natural soul ring.

The other was the Sea God Dragon soul ring he had absorbed earlier.

Su Yu opened his right hand, and a ball of golden light appeared, floating up to hover above his head, radiating a dense and pure light energy.

"This is... the Light Holy Dragon?" Gu Yuena narrowed her eyes, recognizing the power.

Such pure light power could only be controlled by the Light Holy Dragon clan.

Where had he gotten such a pure Light Holy Dragon soul ring?

Golden light shimmered, and as energy poured in, the golden orb began to change.

The gold faded, and a streak of blood-red tore through, descending into the world.

The golden orb transformed into a blood-red soul ring.

On its surface, five golden patterns appeared, mysterious and noble.

This was a fierce beast-level Light Holy Dragon soul ring, a reward Su Yu had obtained a long time ago when he visited the Sea God Pavilion.

He just hadn't had a chance to use it before.

Now, with his ninth soul ring acquired and his divine body formed, and with the Sea God Dragon soul ring as his second elemental ring, it was finally time to absorb this one.

With Su Yu's current strength, absorbing this 500,000-year Light Holy Dragon soul ring was a piece of cake.

In less than half an hour, the fierce beast-level Light Holy Dragon soul ring was fully integrated into Su Yu.

The boost from the fierce beast-level Light Holy Dragon soul ring was no longer that significant for Su Yu.

However, the mastery of the light element and the baptism from the Dragon God's power that came with it were invaluable.

Through the Dragon God's baptism, Su Yu completely stabilized his divine body.

Originally only comparable to a second-level divine body, his physique was now firmly at that tier.

Because he possessed the bloodlines of both the Ice and Fire Dragon Kings, his divine body was even stronger than that of an ordinary second-level god.

"Not bad, flawless!" Su Yu grinned at the platinum third soul ring spinning above the Dragon God Seal.

His strength had reached another new level.

"The next, the fourth ring... is a dark attribute?"

Sensing the element of the Dragon God Seal's fourth ring, Su Yu frowned.

Dark element?

This attribute—finding an appropriate soul ring really wouldn't be easy.

With Su Yu's standards, ordinary soul rings no longer interested him.

There were pure dark attribute rings out there, but...

His gaze flickered as he fell into thought.

"What are you thinking about again?" Gu Yuena's cool voice sounded beside him.

Su Yu looked up and smiled gently. "Nothing, Na'er, let's go..."

"Go where?"

"Back to Star Dou Great Forest first. Those guys need to be settled..."

…

"Kill!"

Shouts of battle shook the heavens.

Outside Mingdu, the four-nation alliance and the Holy Prison Plane had once again clashed.

Ju Zi was dressed in military attire, armored and cape fluttering, exuding heroic spirit.

Sword at her waist, she gazed at the brutal battlefield with a heavy expression in her crystal-clear eyes.

Su Yu's departure had indeed affected things.

Perhaps, in terms of top-tier combat, Mo Wuliang and Mu Wu could fill the gap left by Su Yu.

But Su Yu's unique ability to rapidly produce troops was something no one else could match.

Within the undead plane, the endless legions of undead creatures could no longer participate in battle after Su Yu left.

Without those undead as cannon fodder, the alliance had to fill the gap with countless real lives.

Though the alliance managed to resist the Holy Prison Plane's invasion, the number of fallen soldiers increased daily.

Ju Zi, deeply worried, noted that the bizarre creatures of the Holy Prison Plane seemed endless, while their own millions of soldiers, though numerous, were still just flesh and blood. Every loss was permanent.

Such a stalemate could not end well for them.

Though worried, Ju Zi stared unblinking at the unfolding situation.

Compared to the bizarre creatures, they had advantages in tactics and coordination.

In this, Ju Zi was unmatched.

Under her leadership, they had already repelled the Holy Prison Plane several times.

"Something's wrong!"

Suddenly, the sky changed. Endless darkness enveloped the heavens.

Within Mingdu, sharp, piercing whistles rang out.

Black clouds rolled as one powerful aura after another swept in.

One, two...

A dozen terrifying pressures descended from the sky.

Ju Zi was no longer inexperienced. With a glance, she recognized them.

They were high-ranking members among the bizarre creatures—the seventy-two Holy Prison Envoys.

"Boom!"

As those figures charged in, several figures from the alliance also soared into the sky.

"Evil Dragon, Black Bone, Nether Sparrow, Mad Wolf—you all come to me!"

An icy sun hung high as Mo Wuliang, wrapped in endless cold air, enveloped the four in his attack range.

"Arrogant!"

A monster with a human body and dragon head howled, clearly enraged.

To hope to block four high envoys alone—Mo Wuliang was delusional.

"Come here, you lot!"

Mo Wuliang snorted, hands forming seals, releasing ice-blue light that froze all four.

But in the next instant, the ice shattered and four furious figures pounced at him.

Mo Wuliang was unafraid, fighting one against four, the battle fierce.

"You few, over here as well!"

Behind Niu Tian, the Azure Dragon spat a pearl, thunder roared, divine lightning erupted, blocking six or seven opponents.

Among them were high, mid, and low-level envoys.

With two powerhouses in front, Tai Tan, Sang Muning, Mu Wu and others each found their own opponents.

Chapter 570: The Holy Prison's Plans, Di Tian's Sneer

"Don't underestimate your dean!"

A crisp phoenix cry rang out, light power cascading down.

Yan Shaozhe soared into the air, momentum fierce.

After consuming a dragon pill, Yan Shaozhe had finally taken the first step into the Ultimate Douluo level.

Although he had only formed the most basic twin core, and his combat power was slightly weaker than a normal Ultimate Douluo, he was still, by all means, an Ultimate Douluo.

This level far exceeded ordinary Peak Douluo.

Now, Yan Shaozhe was a changed man.

He went straight for one of the envoys—a low-level envoy.

Even a low-level envoy was comparable to a demi-god.

After a clash, Yan Shaozhe quickly fell behind.

"Dean, I'll help you!"

A cool shout sounded as a cold moon streaked across the sky, its chill slicing toward the low-level envoy.

The envoy was startled but blocked the attack.

"Freezing Rotation!"

Moonlight surged. A beautiful figure bathed in moonlight, like a moon goddess.

Zhang Lexuan, dressed in tight black clothes, eyes bright, lips red, exuding cool elegance.

"Lexuan, you're just in time!"

Yan Shaozhe exclaimed, his light power surging.

Zhang Lexuan's Martial Soul, the Extreme Moon, cast endless moonlight.

Now a Peak Douluo herself, her martial spirit was among the strongest, and her battle prowess matched it.

She and Yan Shaozhe combined, unexpectedly holding back the low-level envoy's assault.

"Boom!" "Boom!" "Boom!"

Mighty powers clashed, shaking the land for hundreds of miles.

Both sides fought fiercely and evenly.

"Strange, can that guy really just sit still?"

High in the sky, Hai Bodong stood with his hands behind his back, eyes full of doubt as he looked at the quiet Mingdu.

He wasn't interested in the fight below—his attention was on the mysterious shadow from before.

Let the soldiers fight; his only job was to watch that person, to keep them in check.

But strangely, from the start of the battle until now, that person hadn't appeared even once.

If he hadn't sensed their aura still in Mingdu, he would've thought they'd left.

But somehow, their calmness unsettled him.

"Is that guy plotting something?"

 Hai Bodong frowned.

…

Star Dou Great Forest!

Lake of Life!

The emerald waters were like a precious mirror, reflecting rainbow light. Mist rose as colorful water plants floated on the surface.

Two figures walked by the Lake of Life.

One was tall, in black robes, with jet-black hair streaked with gold, his face stern and dignified.

The other wore a light green dress, long green hair down to her waist, skin like jade, her beauty otherworldly, with a pure and kind aura.

Gentle yet reserved, graceful and delicate, utterly captivating.

"The Master left, probably summoned by the Young Master. Judging by this, the Young Master has likely made another breakthrough," Di Tian said with a deep, resonant voice, golden eyes smiling.

Another breakthrough—perhaps the Young Master was not far from godhood now?

"The Young Master's rapid progress is a blessing for our clan," Bi Ji replied gently, a trace of fondness and pride in her eyes.

Once, that little one was just a child. In a decade or so, he'd grown into a giant.

As an elder who watched him grow up, Bi Ji felt honored.

"The Young Master summoned the Master, probably for the ninth soul ring. Once the Martial Soul is complete, he'll begin cultivating Dragon God's power."

"Dragon God's power is the foundation of everything—the greatest power of our clan."

Bi Ji nodded. "But cultivating Dragon God's power won't be so smooth."

"It contains endless strength, but as the Young Master once said, gathering enough soul rings and cultivating it to completion won't be easy."

"Where in this world can we find so many powerful soul rings?"

She couldn't help but worry for Su Yu. Compared to his first martial soul, cultivating the Dragon God Seal was twice as hard.

Just the soul rings alone would drive anyone crazy.

"Even if we can't find them, we must. The Young Master must grow, and Dragon God's power must be perfected—nothing can stop this."

"For this goal, anyone and anything can be sacrificed," Di Tian said resolutely, his eyes brooking no argument.

So long as the Young Master rises, even if it meant exhausting the clan's foundation—it didn't matter.

As long as the Young Master lived, the soul beast clan would live.

On hearing this, Bi Ji fell silent, feeling uneasy at Di Tian's determination.

She was about to speak when Di Tian's expression changed, his golden eyes flashing coldly.

"Since you're here, why hide?"

His tone was cold, eyes icy.

"As expected of the Beast God Di Tian, truly extraordinary," a cold voice laughed as space was ripped open.

Several figures stepped out, and through the rift, countless bizarre creatures could be seen behind.

"What exactly are you?" Di Tian frowned, voice unfriendly.

From appearances alone, these were clearly not good people.

They came with ill intent!

"We come from the Holy Prison Plane, under the orders of our great Master, to bring you a great opportunity!" the leader in black said with a smile.

"A great opportunity?" Di Tian sneered, "What is it you want?"

"I am not interested in your so-called opportunity. If you have nothing else, please leave. The Star Dou Great Forest welcomes no outsiders."

From them, Di Tian sensed extreme evil.

They were up to no good.

"Di Tian, I know you're anxious, but don't be," the black-robed man said. "My Master admires your cultivation and talent, and invites you to join us."

"Our clan has countless strong ones and deep foundations. Your soul beast clan is suppressed by the divine realm—you can never become gods."

"But we have many secret methods. Join us, and you'll break through to a million years and become a god!"

He attempted to tempt Di Tian into joining.

Di Tian sneered, as if hearing a joke.

"Become a god?" Di Tian's eyes grew colder. "You're not even a god yourself, and you try to tempt me?"

"Utterly ridiculous!"
