Chapter 855: Chapter 851: Soul Blood Tempering Body, The Unprecedented 10th Soul Ring!_1
The green-clad girl hid in the distance, and Gu Yuena's avatar had no idea, watching the fiercely burning Furnace Cauldron in silence.
Her eyes flickered as if she was pondering something.
...
Above the wasteland, the massive body of the Golden Dragon King lay across the ground, its luster completely gone, as if it had become a mere mortal flesh and blood.
Luo Yu sat cross-legged in the void, with three dazzling golden lights floating in front of him.
He looked up at Gu Yuena opposite him and smiled, saying,
"What do you think are my chances of success this time?"
Gu Yuena replied with certainty,
"A hundred percent."
Luo Yu shook his head.
"I'm not talking about absorbing the Golden Dragon King's Soul Blood and Origin Power, but about fusing the ten great origins with planar power."
Gu Yuena looked at him seriously.
"That's what I'm talking about."
"A hundred percent, without any mishaps."
Luo Yu gave a toothy smile.
"Honestly, I'm not even that confident in myself, how can you have so much faith in me?"
"Because you are Gu Yuena's man, the only man I've ever taken a fancy to in this lifetime, the first and also the last."
Luo Yu fell silent, his fists clenched tightly.
"Don't worry, I won't leave you a widow."
"Tsk, I haven't agreed to marry you yet," Gu Yuena retorted with a roll of her eyes and a scoff.
Luo Yu refocused his attention, looking back at the three golden lights in front of him, and hesitantly said,
"Speaking of which, I already have nine Soul Rings on me. Although the Nine Heavens Execution Sword still lacks one Soul Ring to be complete, it definitely won't absorb a Dragon King Soul Ring."
Gu Yuena pondered for a moment before saying,
"For mortals, nine Soul Rings are the limit."
"For the deities of the Divine Realm, even a Divine King only has nine Divine Rings behind him, so nine is the ultimate number, unbreakable."
"It seems that you have no choice but to give up this Soul Ring of the Golden Dragon King, there's nothing that can be done."
"Hiss…"
Luo Yu said somewhat painfully,
"That's a million-year Soul Ring, and it's going to waste just like that?"
Gu Yuena sighed.
"What can you do when you have no more slots available?"
"Stop thinking about it for now, and absorb the Origin Power and Soul Blood. I'll protect you."
Luo Yu didn't dawdle.
He took a deep breath, entirely focusing his mental power. Reaching out with a large hand, the Soul Blood and Origin Power were drawn to him, hurtling towards his body.
The drop of Soul Blood drilled into Luo Yu's forehead.
And the golden Origin Power made a beeline for the Dantian in his abdomen.
"Boom!"
Luo Yu's body erupted with momentum, waves of golden light rippling outward, and the surging power of qi and blood spread.
"Ah."
As the Soul Blood entered his body, a scorching sensation spread from the forehead, engulfing his entire body.
The drop of Soul Blood seemed to split into countless parts in an instant, coursing through his meridians, from the main pathway to the numerous branch pathways.
His whole body experienced a bone-piercing pain, causing Luo Yu to break into cold sweat as his Divine Spirit trembled.
Each limb and all his meridians felt as if they were being gnawed by ants.
However, amidst the severe pain, his already strong blood was being tempered, undergoing earth-shattering changes.
He endured the intense pain throughout his body and delved his Divine Soul Power into the Dantian.
Inside was the Nine-colored Dragon God Origin in the center, with the light spheres formed by the nine Dragon King Origins revolving around it, maintaining an absolute balance.
He controlled the Dragon God Origin to momentarily halt the motion of the nine Dragon King Origins, while integrating the light sphere formed by the Golden Dragon King Origin.
"Hah!"
External Luo Yu let out a painful roar.
Blood seeped beneath his tightly shut eyelids, and fresh blood continuously flowed from his ears, mouth, nose, and his cracking skin.
Wild surges of qi and blood burst forth, and the drum-like beating of his heart echoed to the heavens.
Gu Yuena bit her red lips fiercely.
Between her pearly white teeth and her moist crimson lips, bloodstains appeared.
Her lush fingers gripped her palm tightly, her eyebrows knit closely together, her expression of heartache impossible to hide.
Several times she wanted to go over and embrace Luo Yu, but she forcibly held back.
"Roar!"
A violent and mad roar suddenly came from within the Golden Dragon King Origin and the Soul Blood, as numerous mini phantoms of the Golden Dragon King appeared.
It seemed they had been lurking for a long time, waiting for this moment to seek their revenge on Luo Yu.
"Roar!"
An even more majestic and domineering dragon's roar erupted from within the Nine-colored Origin, instantly vanquishing all the Golden Dragon King Phantoms.
The Soul Blood refined Luo Yu's true body, not only the flesh, marrow, and skin but undergoing complete and radical changes.
But at the same time, he was enduring a severe agony as if he were being devoured by ten thousand ants.
The painful roaring lasted for three straight days and nights.
Gu Yuena's body was tense, her eyes were deep red, and she stood in front of the man, biting her lips without leaving for three days and nights.
The blood on the man's body had dried up, ceasing to flow, and was crusted with scabs.
"Thump, thump, thump—"
Over three days, the sound of Luo Yu's heartbeat weakened to the extreme, barely audible, before it gradually began to climb again.
In the end, it was like thunder roaring through the nine heavens.
Shaking for thousands of miles.
"Boom!"
A blood-red column of light exploded, shooting straight into the sky, connecting heaven and earth.
Countless people in Soul Land looked in this direction, their expressions trembling.
"Rumbling—"
The ground trembled, the mountains and rivers swayed.
Luo Yu suddenly opened his eyes, his pupils burst with purple-gold divine light, like two pillars of light reaching heaven, piercing the four seas and eight deserts.
Every scab on his body shattered at once, turning to dust under the terrifying pressure, disappearing like smoke.
The muscles were well-defined, surrounded by a halo of treasure light.
In every inch of his flesh, there seemed to be power sufficient to destroy heaven and earth.
"It worked!"
"He successfully absorbed the Golden Dragon King Origin and Soul Blood!"
Gu Yuena's beautiful eyes shone with joy; the worries of the past three days transformed into happiness, excitement, and pride.
Luo Yu didn't stand up immediately. With his aura as imposing as a rainbow, he looked at the resplendent Golden Dragon King Soul Ring in front of him and licked his lips.
"A million-year Soul Ring right in front of him—if he let it go to waste, he would truly be heartbroken."
"To give up? He couldn't do it."
Luo Yu's eyes flickered with a crazy light, and even if he couldn't turn it into a Soul Ring, he absolutely couldn't let go of the energy contained within.
He opened his mouth and out of nowhere, a whirlpool suction force emerged.
The golden soul ring quickly shrank and entered his mouth.
"Don't do it!"
"That's not okay."
Gu Yuena was shocked; she never expected Luo Yu to be so bold. Nine Soul Rings were the limit, how could he dare to be so audacious.
Now something was going to happen, something big.
"Spit it out quickly!"
She flashed beside Luo Yu in an instant, calling out repeatedly.
However, Luo Yu seemed as if he hadn't heard.
"Boom, boom, boom!"
Explosive sounds resonated within Luo Yu's body, as if a surplus force inside him was violently crashing around.
As if it was going to be expelled.
"Absorb it for me!"
Luo Yu roared, resisting the instinct to reject the Golden Dragon King Soul Ring and instead using all his soul power to actively absorb it.
"Swish, swish, swish!"
Nine dazzling soul rings emerged behind Luo Yu's back.
The surrounding sky was even lit up with nine colors, and colorful light lingered all around, an otherworldly sight to behold.
"So reckless."
Gu Yuena dared not speak now, for she had seen the man's determination, and it was too late to stop him now.
"Boom!"
After a loud noise, Luo Yu's presence weakened, but the strange sensation within his body completely subsided.
He opened his eyes and stood up.
Gu Yuena, not even caring that the man was naked, grabbed his arm anxiously and asked:
"How do you feel now, is there any discomfort anywhere?"
"I'm fine, I feel great," Luo Yu said with a smile.
Gu Yuena glared and said, "Are you crazy, absorbing any and everything recklessly?"
"Look at you, aren't you just bringing trouble upon yourself?"
Gu Yuena was very urgent and fierce, but Luo Yu knew this was because she was too worried about him.
He revealed a mysterious smile.
"Nana, I have a great treasure to show you."
Gu Yuena's gaze was about to move downwards, her purple pupils widening.
"What a time to be indecent."
Luo Yu shook his head, blinked, and said:
"You should take a good look."
"Whoosh!"
Among the nine dazzling Colored-Golden Soul Rings on Luo Yu's back, something stirred, and to everyone's astonishment, another resplendent divine ring rose up slowly.
Like the rising of the great sun...
