Chapter 49: The Shock of the Silver Dragon King, Gu Yuena
It was now dusk, and the afterglow of the setting sun illuminated the world.
The lake had dried up, its muddy bottom hardening rapidly and cracking into countless fissures. An intense silver light burst forth from these cracks, more dazzling than the sun itself.
*Bang—* The earth exploded as a colossal mass of silver light shot out from the lakebed. It was an enormous claw, and it slammed heavily onto the shore.
The giant claw shimmered with a silvery luster, covered in hexagonal scales that radiated a strange brilliance.
A terrifying aura emanated from it, exerting an unparalleled sense of pressure.
Di Tian’s face was ecstatic. He took a step forward, knelt on one knee, and shouted, "We welcome you, Lord."
Bi Ji and the other six were equally overjoyed. They rushed forward, knelt on one knee, and cried out, "We welcome you, Lord."
Xiao Wu and the others stared curiously at the giant silver claw. Although they feared the aura, they were intrigued by what kind of creature this could be.
Aotian was somewhat surprised. He had been planning to meet this sleeping figure, as he knew her identity—she was, for all intents and purposes, the supreme leader of the Dragon Race in the Douluo World.
However, she had emerged before he could act.
After a moment's thought, Aotian guessed the reason for her sudden awakening.
With a loud bang, the entire lakebed erupted, and a massive figure over a hundred meters long soared into the sky before crashing heavily onto the ground.
It was a silver dragon with two wings on its back. Its body was several times larger than Di Tian's, yet its muscles were not overly exaggerated; its form was sleek and graceful.
Di Tian and the others gazed up at the silver dragon before them with fervent eyes, their bodies trembling with excitement.
"Lord, you've finally awakened," Di Tian said, his voice thick with emotion.
The silver dragon lowered its massive head, its large eyes gazing down at Di Tian and the others on the ground. Its voice was clear and melodious, yet carried an air of majesty. "I sensed a powerful bloodline aura," she said, "and I had a premonition that this bloodline's power would be extremely beneficial to my recovery."
Her majestic gaze fell upon Di Tian, sensing his still-surging aura. She asked, "Di Tian, has your bloodline undergone an evolution?"
"Yes, Lord," Di Tian replied respectfully.
The silver dragon nodded its massive head. "Very good. You are truly a genius of our race. It seems the time for our rise has come."
With that, her colossal body began to shrink. A few breaths later, a flash of silver light gave way to a peerlessly beautiful young woman who appeared before them.
A cascade of lustrous, silver hair flowed like a Waterfall from the back of her head, falling all the way to her ankles.
She had fair skin and a pair of utterly beautiful eyes with long, curled lashes above clear, translucent purple pupils.
Her figure was not buxom, but it was perfectly proportioned, giving off a sense of ultimate perfection.
Below her long, straight legs were a pair of feet as flawless as white jade. Standing on the dark earth, they remained untouched by even a speck of dust.
A gentle breeze blew, causing her long silver hair to dance in the wind, creating a scene of breathtaking beauty under the setting sun.
Only the slight pallor of her face hinted at a fragility that inspired a feeling of protectiveness.
"Such a beautiful big sister, just as pretty as Aotian," Xiao Wu murmured unconsciously.
The Silver Dragon King, Gu Yuena, said, "Rise."
Di Tian and the others quickly stood up.
Di Tian glanced at Aotian, hesitated for a moment, and then said, "Lord, I didn't actually achieve this breakthrough on my own."
"Oh? Then how did you break through?" Gu Yuena's voice was as cool and clear as an immortal's, a hint of surprise flashing in her purple eyes.
Di Tian turned to the side, looking at Aotian. "It was Senior Ao. He defeated me with ease and used a drop of his blood to enhance my bloodline and increase my cultivation."
Gu Yuena's gaze fell upon Aotian. His appearance also made her pause for a moment. She asked, "Are you also of the Dragon Race?"
Only the blood of a Dragon Race expert could enhance Di Tian's bloodline.
Aotian nodded. "That's right."
A trace of warmth appeared in Gu Yuena's calm eyes. "I never thought there was still an expert like you among our Dragon Race."
To be able to enhance Di Tian's bloodline meant his strength was certainly above Di Tian's. For the Dragon Race, this was undoubtedly a rare power.
Gu Yuena asked, "Are you willing to follow me, to seek justice for the Soul Beast Clan and carve out a world of freedom?"
Though her voice was soft, it held immense confidence. The phrase 'carve out a world of freedom for the Soul Beasts' made Di Tian and the others' blood boil, making them wish they could charge into a life-or-death battle against their enemies at that very moment.
Aotian shook his head and calmly replied, "I'm not willing."
Gu Yuena was stunned. Aotian's response was completely unexpected. A look of confusion appeared on her face as she asked, "Why?"
"Because your strength is too weak," Aotian said, not mincing his words in the slightest.
Gu Yuena frowned. "It seems you are unaware of my identity. I am the Silver Dragon King, Gu Yuena, ruler of all soul beasts. In my prime, my strength reached the God King level. I am just injured and have yet to recover."
Aotian smiled. "So what if you recover to the God King level?"
"You don't know how powerful a God King is?" Gu Yuena asked, puzzled.
"Lord," Di Tian called out in a low voice.
Gu Yuena's gaze shifted to Di Tian. "What is it?"
Di Tian glanced nervously at Aotian. Seeing no reaction, he finally said, "I sensed a powerful aura from Senior Ao, an aura that only the Dragon God should possess."
Gu Yuena's fine brows furrowed slightly. She said nothing, standing there quietly like an ethereal celestial maiden.
She seemed to be pondering. After a long moment, she slowly shook her head and said, "Impossible. Unless I merge with the Golden Dragon King, no descendant created by the Dragon God can easily cultivate to the Dragon God's realm."
Aotian said, "My apologies, but I am not a descendant created by the Dragon God you speak of. My Dragon Race is also somewhat different from yours."
"Impossible. The Dragon God is the ancestor of all dragons. Without the Dragon God, none of us would exist," the Silver Dragon King stated.
Aotian said, "When I was invincible, the Dragon God you speak of had not yet appeared."
At that moment, it wasn't just Gu Yuena who was in disbelief; even Di Tian, who held a measure of respect for Aotian, found it hard to believe.
What Dragon Race could be more ancient than the Dragon God?
Aotian didn't bother explaining further. With a shimmer, he transformed back into his true form.
His massive body snaked along the shore of the lake, which had a circumference of nearly a thousand meters, coiling around it several times over.
And this was with him deliberately controlling his body's length; otherwise, this place truly wouldn't have been able to contain him.
In the encroaching night, his body radiated a dazzling golden light, suffused with endless majesty.
Two dragon horns grew from his massive head, and the draconic whiskers on either side of his snout danced in the wind.
Gu Yuena, Di Tian, Zi Ji, and the three-headed red demonic mastiff, which possessed Dragon Race bloodline, felt Aotian's aura most intensely.
Aside from Gu Yuena, who was struggling to endure, Di Tian and the other two were already prostrate on the ground.
"Senior Ao really is different from us. So strong!" Di Tian exclaimed in shock.
Gu Yuena's body trembled as she resisted the aura emanating from Aotian.
Suddenly, a bolt of lightning flashed through her mind. A bold guess surfaced, and she blurted out, "Were you once slumbering beneath a Volcano?"
Update tomorrow at noon. If you have any tickets, please cast them. Thank you, everyone.
