Chapter 68 Sword Qi Transforms into Dragon
The black dragon fell and hit the ground with a thud. It twisted unconsciously for a few times and then died.

boom!
As a ten thousand year old soul beast, the tremendous energy in its body began to burst out uncontrollably after its death, and soon a black soul ring filled with strong oppression condensed above its corpse.

The 18,000-year-old black soul ring comes from a special soul beast like the black dragon, which has the blood of the dark evil dragon. To some extent, it is even not inferior to those 60,000 to 70,000-year-old soul rings.

Dugu Bo has already retracted his martial soul. Although he is not injured, his breath is a little disordered. The continuous use of his martial soul's true body and head soul bone skills has consumed a lot of his soul power.

Chen Yuan, holding Dugu Yan, had also landed on the ground. He let go of Dugu Yan and said with a smile:

"I'll have to trouble you and grandpa to protect me for a while."

Dugu Yan nodded, without further persuading him, and just spoke gently:
"Since you have made up your mind, you must stick to it. If you succeed, I don't mind giving you some special rewards."

Chen Yuan's heart softened. Dugu Yan knew that he couldn't be persuaded, so he used this method to encourage him. He was very pleased with it. The corners of his mouth turned up and he said with a smile:

"I am looking forward."

After Chen Yuan finished speaking, he walked to the black dragon's corpse, sat cross-legged, and summoned the soul ring. The black soul ring, which was filled with terrifying oppression, floated over little by little, was put on his Seven Kill Sword, and soon completely merged into it.

In just a moment, a powerful and hot energy like magma rushed into his body, filling his dantian, meridians, internal organs, limbs and bones... as if it wanted to burst him completely.

His well-forged body seemed to be about to be overwhelmed, but at this moment, each of his organs and tissues emitted a faint golden light. These golden lights supported his body like a skeleton, allowing his body, which was about to fall apart, to remain intact.

But the impact of energy still left him seriously injured. However, after he used the skill "Wildfire cannot burn it all, spring breeze will bring it back to life" on his Blue Silver Emperor right leg bone, the blue life energy began to flow throughout his body, including his dantian, meridians, internal organs, limbs and bones... all the damaged parts were recovering rapidly.

His golden wings were also constantly absorbing energy. As external soul bones that could grow, they were constantly absorbing the extra energy from Chen Yuan's body, accelerating their own growth and also helping Chen Yuan share the burden.

Relying on these methods, Chen Yuan survived the first wave of energy. The energy of the ten thousand year soul ring was enormous and was still continuously pouring into Chen Yuan's body, but it was not as turbulent as the first wave of energy. Chen Yuan began to refine the energy continuously without any danger.

A level 40 soul master refined an 18,000 year old soul ring, and the owner of this soul ring was comparable to a 60,000 to 70,000 year old soul beast. Such a crazy move would definitely be courting death for others, but Chen Yuan had already shown signs of success by magnifying his own advantages step by step, and it was time for him to enjoy the rewards of his hard work.

Ten hours passed, from day to night, and Chen Yuan entered a critical moment. Just as he was conscious, an angry roar suddenly sounded, as if to shatter his soul.

However, Chen Yuan, after being nourished by the dew of longing, had a soul strength that was no weaker than that of a Soul Saint. The roar only gave him a headache. He looked in the direction of the sound and seemed to see a black dragon, staring at him with scarlet eyes, extremely unwilling.

Chen Yuan chuckled and looked at the black dragon without dodging or avoiding. After a moment, the black dragon's residual soul gradually dissipated. Without the body, the residual soul was like rootless water, and sooner or later it would completely dissipate bit by bit.

Without the influence of the black dragon's residual soul, Chen Yuan quickly merged with the black soul ring. The black soul ring rose from under his feet, all the way to his head, and then moved downwards again, completely merging with his original three soul rings. The yellow, purple, and black soul rings were an extremely terrifying configuration. Chen Yuan opened his eyes, took a deep breath, and slowly exhaled. The feeling of being full of power was definitely worth it to absorb this soul ring.

Then he stood up. Duguyan saw that he woke up and immediately trotted over to him. She was surprised and hugged his arms. She kissed his cheek and then smiled happily:

"Great, you succeeded. You have no idea how scary it was when you absorbed the spirit ring. You looked like a porcelain doll that would break at the slightest touch. I was almost worried to death."

Chen Yuan also knew how dangerous this time was. If it weren't for the ice and fire body refining, his body would have been torn apart in the first place. If it weren't for the Blue Silver Emperor's right leg bone, his body would not have been able to hold on until it was completely absorbed by this ten thousand year soul ring. In addition, the golden feather wings helped him share the tremendous energy, which made the process of absorbing the soul ring smoother.

Seeing his granddaughter throwing herself into his arms, Dugu Bo's face darkened and he couldn't help but want to interrupt:

"Boy, it took you at least ten hours to absorb the spirit ring this time, but fortunately it succeeded. But what did you gain specifically?"

This time, I was able to absorb such a powerful spirit ring thanks to Dugu Bo. Upon hearing this, Chen Yuan also began to explain:
"My soul power has probably reached level 45 because I have absorbed soul rings beyond the age limit. The energy of this ten thousand year soul ring is extremely huge."

"And after absorbing the spirit ring, the power of my Seven Killing Sword will increase by 100%. Once I use the fourth spirit skill, the sword energy will turn into a black dragon, and it will have the dark attributes of the black dragon, and the overbearing erosion and annihilation ability, which is enough to crush any tangible object."

"According to my estimation, even if a Soul Emperor is hit head-on by my attack, not even a trace of him will be left. This soul ring is quite compatible with my martial soul, and it is no problem for me to kill the enemy with soul power exceeding level 20."

This is still Chen Yuan's conservative estimate, because even if it is a Soul Sage who uses his martial soul's true body, facing the erosion and annihilation of the darkness, if he does not use his soul power to resist, but chooses to resist with his physical body, he will be disabled if he does not die.

Dugu Bo and Dugu Yan were both stunned. This spirit ring was so powerful that it was unbelievable. In fact, it was easy to understand if you thought about it. After all, it was a ten thousand year old black dragon that could compete with sixty to seventy thousand year old spirit beasts. Its dark attribute was extremely overbearing.

At this time, Chen Yuan also felt a little itchy and wanted to try out his fourth soul skill. He walked to the side, holding the sword with both hands, and said:
"Fourth soul skill, sword energy transforms into dragon!"

The black soul ring suddenly lit up, and tremendous energy began to condense. A black dragon pattern appeared on the Seven Kill Sword. Then Chen Yuan's eyes were as sharp as torches, and he slashed out with the sword.

boom!
A black dragon formed by pure sword energy flew towards the mountain nearby at a very fast speed. In the blink of an eye, it collided with the mountain.

There was no earth-shattering explosion, only silent annihilation. The entire mountain disappeared bit by bit. The moon was hanging high in the sky, and the moonlight was pouring down. Only a smooth mirror-like gap was left where the mountain had originally been.

But this scene did not attract Chen Yuan. He frowned and looked at the black dragon's corpse. Just after he swung the sword, the black dragon's corpse seemed to be pulled and moved, as if there was something inside...
