Chapter 87 Turning Stillness into Movement
Gu Xuan's speed in absorbing the soul ring was still incredibly fast. Under the limits of his body's endurance, the Dragon Flame almost instantly destroyed the soul ring's refinement.
What kind of soul beast remnant soul is experiencing soul vibration?
The dragon talisman was burned completely, leaving only a large amount of pure soul power to flow into Gu Xuan's body.
With a large influx of soul power into Gu Xuan's meridians, his previously tightly sealed realm was broken through in the blink of an eye.
And the moment the bottleneck in his cultivation disappeared, Gu Xuan's cultivation began to rise.
Thirty-one, thirty-two, thirty-three—almost instantly, I jumped from the low levels and then firmly stuck at level forty.
Although most of the power from the four soul bones, each with a minimum quality of 80,000 years, was used to enhance his physical attributes, the remaining soul power still allowed Gu Xuan to accumulate a wealth of experience.
Now that the bottleneck has disappeared, the accumulated soul power instantly transformed into experience for breaking through levels, propelling him to the peak once again.
This is only the soul power stored in the soul bone; the soul power in the 60,000-year-old soul ring hasn't been touched at all.
Gu Xuan could clearly sense the surging and powerful soul force within his body.
If it weren't for his extremely strong physical attributes, which allowed him to suppress his soul power within his body, the power he had accumulated would have been enough to overwhelm a Soul Emperor.
"This feels really good."
Gu Xuan opened his eyes, a wicked smile appearing on his lips. He felt an invincible sense of power surging within him.
Fortunately, although he has become bad, he hasn't become stupid, and he is not yet truly invincible.
Although the Holy Lord and the Pure Yang Sword are powerful, they still have a significant flaw before their master, himself, has fully matured.
So he abandoned his pride and complacency, and once again became the devout seeker of the Way.
"Xuan'er, how are you feeling now?"
Seeing the drastic change in Gu Xuan's demeanor after he opened his eyes, Gu Rong asked with some concern.
"It feels pretty good. Although it has some impact, I can still control it."
Gu Xuan touched his chest. His heart was more restless than ever before, and all sorts of distracting thoughts were surfacing in his mind, affecting his judgment, but he was still able to suppress them.
This is the benefit of having sufficient wisdom.
Gu Xuan felt as if someone was using a magnifying glass to amplify his negative emotions.
However, as long as he doesn't generate negative emotions, he won't be affected by them.
"That's good!"
Seeing this scene, Gu Rong finally felt a huge weight lifted from his heart.
"Young Master, what is your third soul skill?"
Dugu Bo looked at Gu Xuan with burning eyes. Gu Xuan's first three talismans were more terrifying than the last. Apart from the dragon talisman, which he had not experienced, he had been fortunate enough to personally experience the power of the dog and horse talismans.
So what kind of effect could this rat, or rat-themed talisman, have?
"The mouse, turning stillness into movement."
Gu Xuan also seemed to want to manifest his divine power, so he directly summoned the stone sculpture of the Holy Lord's Martial Soul.
After some thought, he removed the Horse Talisman, Dog Talisman, and Dragon Talisman from the Holy Lord's Martial Soul, leaving only the Rat Talisman quietly resting on the stone carving.
Before acquiring the Tiger Talisman, he could only use the power of three talismans simultaneously, which was the limit, and no matter how strong his body was, he could not change it.
Moreover, he was unsure whether the resurrected Holy Lord would usurp the throne, just as Dao Long had done with the resurrected Holy Lord.
"Transforming stillness into movement?"
Gu Rong's eyes lit up, and then he stared intently at the Holy Lord stone sculpture. Gu Xuan's words had already made themselves very clear.
Moreover, Gu Xuan once said that the Holy Lord stone sculpture was a fire dragon that had been stripped of its power.
Then it must be a living thing. If we turn stillness into movement, can we bring this thing that looks like a stone dragon statue back to life?
Transforming from a weapon-type martial soul into a beast-type martial soul?
Without keeping Gu Rong waiting any longer, Gu Xuan directly activated the rat talisman on the stone carving.
With a flash of white light, the stone sculpture, which was originally as solid as a rock, began to loosen, and the pea-shaped body seemed to be given life and began to move again.
The body, which had been compressed into a pancake shape, gradually stretched out.
It was transformed directly from a stone sculpture into a living, breathing being.
Roar!
The ferocious dragon's head instantly rose high, and a dragon's roar, like that of a demon, echoed throughout the entire Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eye.
The enormous body hovered above the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire, its scarlet eyes filled with a violent glint.
Its entire body was covered in dense yellow scales, and tiny flames would occasionally emerge from the gaps between the scales.
The mane on its back looked like burning flames.
Looking at the Holy Lord circling around the pea, a trace of confusion flashed in Gu Xuan's eyes.
He originally thought that after Shendu was resurrected, he would become the human form of Shendu from Jackie Chan Adventures, but he never expected that he would appear in the form of an Eastern dragon.
"Xuan'er, are you—a dragon?"
Gu Rong looked at Gu Xuan's resurrected Holy Lord with some confusion. Was this long, four-horned snake really a dragon?
Why doesn't it have wings?
Gu Rong had some doubts about the completeness of Gu Xuan's dragon, but the magnificent dragon's might was undeniable.
The dragons in Douluo Continent are mostly Western-style dragons.
Both the Bone Dragon and the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex are depicted as large winged lizards.
This sudden appearance of an Eastern dragon like the Holy Lord is something Gu Rong has never seen before.
"Um!"
Gu Xuan nodded slightly and looked seriously at the roaring Holy Lord.
The Rat Talisman is powerful at transforming stillness into movement; it can even directly imbue a soulless thing with intelligence, making it a living entity.
He didn't know if bestowing the Martial Soul Rat Talisman upon the Holy Lord would truly resurrect the real Holy Lord.
If the Holy Lord Martial Soul really transforms into the Holy Lord after obtaining the Rat Talisman, then things won't be fun.
Gu Xuan stared intently at the ferocious dragon circling in the sky for a while before reconnecting his spiritual power.
The moment the Holy Lord was resurrected, Gu Xuan seemed to have re-entered the Martial Soul Awakening Ceremony, temporarily losing control over the Holy Lord's Martial Soul.
However, he felt that he could remove the Holy Lord Martial Soul at any time if he wanted to!
The dragon, which had been roaring and circling, suddenly seemed to be connected via Bluetooth, and the ferocity in its eyes instantly subsided.
"No?"
Gu Xuan successfully took over the Holy Lord's Martial Soul, but after carefully sensing it, he found no trace of the Holy Lord's soul.
This Holy Lord stone sculpture really seems to have simply transformed from a stone sculpture into a living being.
"Come!"
After confirming several times that the Holy Lord had no sentience, Gu Xuan finally waved slightly to the Holy Lord in the sky.
Roar!
In an instant, as if receiving a command, the dragon in the sky roared and swooped down towards Gu Xuan, finally transforming into a stream of light and merging into Gu Xuan's body.
"Martial Soul Possession!"
As the Holy Lord Martial Soul entered his body, Gu Xuan's body began to change rapidly. Two ferocious dragon horns appeared on his head, and his body was gradually covered with a layer of fine yellow dragon scales.
At that moment, those same eyes also turned into blood-red pupils.
