7: Hellfire Dragon King

"Kid, do you have any more Immortal Plants on you?"

Gold Crocodile Douluo suddenly changed the subject.

"Gone!" Su Wen shrugged. "But since my luck is so good that I found some now, maybe I'll find more in the future."

Gold Crocodile Douluo's gaze fell on Ye Yuaner. Seeing her indicate that she had none either, he couldn't help but sigh.

A few hours later, the three of them arrived above the Star Dou Great Forest.

Looking from afar, the forest was so vast that its edges were invisible; the shrubbery was lush, and there were even many continuous mountain ranges.

"Xiao Wen, the Star Dou Great Forest is the largest Spirit Beast forest. The Spirit Beasts inside are countless, and the vast majority of Spirit Masters choose the Star Dou Great Forest to obtain their spirit rings."

"Similarly, the Star Dou Great Forest is also the most dangerous place. The number of Spirit Masters who die here every year is also incalculable."

Ye Yuaner stroked Su Wen's head while explaining the Star Dou Great Forest.

Gold Crocodile Douluo did not interject, flying unhurriedly toward the Lake of Life.

His goal was very clear: the Titan Giant Ape and the Sky Azure Bull Python of the Lake of Life.

These two Hundred Thousand Year Spirit Beasts had long been recorded in the Spirit Hall's library.

The Titan Giant Ape was even known as the King of the Forest.

Either one could provide Ye Yuaner with extremely powerful offensive means.

"I hope our luck is good and we can find them directly, otherwise if they hide, we'll have to waste a lot of time!"

Just as Gold Crocodile Douluo finished speaking, a dull sound rang out from the distance.

"Rumble!"

They looked toward the sound.

Several kilometers away, the sky was covered in dark clouds, and the roar of thunder and lightning rolled continuously.

In just a few breaths, it had all gathered together, and then a bolt of lightning struck down into the forest below.

In that instant, one side of the sky was lit up, dazzling and eye-catching.

"A Spirit Beast is Undergoing Tribulation for its hundred-thousand-year mark. That direction seems to be where the volcano is!"

Gold Crocodile Douluo was well-informed and saw at a glance why thunder was only falling in that one area.

"Haha, our luck is truly good. A Spirit Beast after Undergoing Tribulation is extremely weak."

Gold Crocodile Douluo immediately changed his target and flew toward the volcano.

Ye Yuaner took Su Wen and followed closely behind.

As they drew closer, they could feel the terror of the Lightning Tribulation in the sky even more.

In the forest below, Spirit Beasts were fleeing everywhere.

The three arrived at the volcano, where the surrounding scorching temperature made one's whole body feel hot and dry.

Ye Yuaner deployed a shield, wrapping herself and Su Wen inside.

"No rush, we'll make our move once the Lightning Tribulation disperses."

Gold Crocodile Douluo instructed.

If they rushed in now, the three of them would have to undergo the tribulation along with the Spirit Beast.

The thunder clouds came quickly and left quickly; in a short while, the sky returned to being clear.

"Now is the time, let's go!"

The three flew rapidly in the direction where the lightning had just struck, and soon saw a giant dragon with wings on its back.

This was a fire dragon, about a dozen meters in size, its scales charred black by the lightning.

The surrounding ground was also pitch black like ink, having become scorched earth.

"Humans, leave this place!"

The fire dragon spoke in human tongue, its mountain-sized body giving off a sense of oppression.

The breath exhaled from its nostrils was two clumps of burning flames.

Even though its entire body was covered in wounds,

it still gave off an extremely dangerous feeling.

"It's actually a Hellfire Dragon King. It has a top-tier Bloodline among dragon-type Spirit Beasts and is very suitable for you. Moreover, it just had a Breakthrough, so its Mental Energy is at its weakest; the risk during absorption will be much lower."

Gold Crocodile Douluo looked at Ye Yuaner. Just as the latter was about to step forward, Su Wen grabbed her arm and showed an innocent smile: "I'll have to trouble the Second Consecrator to take action!"

Although this Hellfire Dragon King had been struck by lightning, it had already passed the hundred-thousand-year mark.

If it counterattacked before dying, Aunt Ye might end up seriously injured.

Gold Crocodile Douluo didn't say anything as his Soul Power surged.

Nine great spirit rings appeared in sequence.

Yellow, Yellow, Purple, Purple, Black, Black, Black, Black, Red!

When the ninth blood-colored spirit ring appeared, an extremely strong pressure enveloped the surroundings.

"Martial Soul True Body!"

The seventh ten-thousand-year spirit ring on Gold Crocodile Douluo's body lit up.

In an instant, Gold Crocodile Douluo transformed into a massive Golden Giant Crocodile.

With a roar, the surrounding stones rolled, and ripples were generated in the spatial airflow.

"Seeking death!"

Seeing the opponent attack, the Hellfire Dragon King spat out a blast of fire from its mouth.

The Golden Giant Crocodile possessed top-tier defensive capabilities; it didn't dodge, instead charging through the flames to open its massive maw and bite the fire dragon, initiating a Death Roll.

The Hellfire Dragon King's body was suddenly flung around, and its already heavily injured body's aura became withered to the extreme at this moment.

"Eighth Spirit Ability, Boiling Blood!"

Ye Yuaner saw the opportunity.

While the Hellfire Dragon King was being flung out, Ye Yuaner flew into mid-air.

In an instant, flames fell like raindrops onto the Hellfire Dragon King's body.

The power of Ye Yuaner's flames had already undergone an earth-shaking change.

Every time they hit the Hellfire Dragon King, they left indelible wounds on its body.

After just a moment, the Hellfire Dragon King showed no more movement, and a burst of energy surged from its body, gradually forming a bright red spirit ring in the air.

Seeing this, Ye Yuaner's face lit up with joy. After landing, she cupped her hands toward Gold Crocodile Douluo, who had already deactivated his Martial Soul True Body: "Thank you for your help, Second Consecrator. I'll have to trouble you to look after Xiao Wen for me!"

Gold Crocodile Douluo nodded slightly: "Go ahead, I will watch over him!"

Ye Yuaner walked to the side of the Hellfire Dragon King, looking at that red spirit ring with a flushed face.

This was a supreme treasure that Spirit Masters dreamed of.

She no longer hesitated, sat cross-legged, and used her Soul Power to guide the spirit ring.

Su Wen watched quietly from the side, remaining silent so as not to disturb Aunt Ye.

Time passed minute by minute. Ye Yuaner's expression went from pained at the start to gradually becoming calm; a day and a night passed.

Su Wen's stomach was growling with hunger, so he cut some meat from the Hellfire Dragon King and used the nearby lava to roast it. He also took the opportunity to dig out the Hellfire Dragon King's Spirit Bone and put it into his spirit tool.

Gold Crocodile Douluo glanced at him indifferently, a flash of greed flickering in his eyes.

But.

Considering the big picture, he ultimately suppressed that thought.

He closed his eyes to rest, and occasionally smelling the drifting aroma of meat, his eyebrows twitched imperceptibly.

"Boom!"

Right then, the aura on Ye Yuaner's body suddenly surged.

Yellow, Yellow, Purple, Purple, Black, Black, Black, Black, Red!

Nine great spirit rings circled her body.

After a short while, Ye Yuaner opened her eyes.

In those pupils, orange-red flames burned like an abyss, beautiful yet dangerous.

"Level ninety-two. As expected of a Hundred Thousand Year spirit ring, the power it contains is truly vast. Congratulations on your promotion to Titled Douluo!"

Gold Crocodile Douluo also opened his eyes from meditation. Looking at Ye Yuaner's red spirit ring, he knew her potential had been unlocked at this moment; in the future, she would surely be like him and become a level ninety-eight Peak Douluo.

"Thank you for acting as my Protector, Second Consecrator. Second Consecrator, have some meat!"

Before Ye Yuaner could even speak, Su Wen had already come over with the roasted meat to express his thanks.
