Soul Emperor Awakening

"Young Master Lin, hurry and take this Healing Elixir. It will help your injuries." Zi Yi couldn’t see the souls; right now, her only concern was the wound on Lin Xuan’s body.

She felt responsible for the wound, so she was extremely worried. It was a nasty gash, and if he kept bleeding, Lin Xuan would pass out.

Without a second thought, Lin Xuan popped the Elixir Pill into his mouth, not even knowing what kind it was. As soon as he swallowed it, a warm current surged through his body. The pain in his back rapidly diminished, and the bleeding stopped almost instantly. To be able to stanch the bleeding so quickly, this Elixir Pill was clearly no ordinary item and must have been extremely valuable.

Normal Elixir Pills took a while to stop bleeding, and even longer for severe injuries. The one Zi Yi gave him had worked almost instantly. This Elixir Pill was definitely High Grade.

But he couldn’t be bothered with that right now. His attention was fixed on the soul on the Throne.

By now, the four Spirit Pill Stage experts had already charged forward, attempting to intercept the Golden Dragon King. Two of them were held up by the giant Bone Dragons, leaving the other two to engage the Golden Dragon King.

This time, the Spirit Pill Stage experts held nothing back, unleashing their full power in a frenzied assault. The Golden Dragon King’s skeleton was not easily damaged. They had to defeat the Golden Dragon King first; otherwise, they could forget about having any designs on its remains.

"Thanks for the Elixir Pill. I’m much better now. You should hide here for a bit." Without another word of explanation, Lin Xuan darted to the Throne and reached for the soul, planning to absorb the spiritual mass while the Golden Dragon King was occupied.

As he began absorbing the soul, it felt as if it were fused to the Throne, making it incredibly difficult to draw out. His failure on the first try immediately drew the attention of the Golden Dragon King.

"Foolish human!" the Golden Dragon King bellowed. Wreathed in a golden light, it tried to charge back toward the Throne, obviously sensing the threat.

The two Spirit Pill Stage experts frowned, unsure why the Golden Dragon King had suddenly flown into a rage. Still, such a frenzy wasn’t unexpected, so they continued to block it with extreme caution. The pressure on them mounted, but they were just barely managing to hold it back.

Seizing the opportunity, Lin Xuan redoubled his efforts to absorb the soul. A moment later, he finally managed to forcibly wrench the spiritual mass free. The instant it was loose, he sucked it into his Soul Pearl. The soul resisted upon entering, but it was brutally suppressed by the Soul Pearl’s formidable power!

No matter how formidable a soul, once it entered the Soul Pearl, it was destined to be brought under control. Even a dragon would be forced to coil up in submission!

The moment the soul entered the Soul Pearl, the attacking Golden Dragon King abruptly froze in place. An attack from one of the Spirit Pill Stage experts landed at that precise instant. BANG! The entire skeleton crumbled into a pile of powder, mixing inseparably with the bone dust already covering the floor.

It wasn’t just the Golden Dragon King. The two giant Bone Dragons crumbled as well, reverting to piles of bone dust and falling completely still.

The sudden change left the Spirit Pill Stage experts dumbfounded. The creatures had inexplicably crumbled to dust, and none of them understood what had just happened.

"What’s going on? How did they suddenly fall apart? They seemed so powerful just a moment ago."

"Did they run out of Energy?"

They speculated endlessly, completely baffled, but they didn’t lower their guard in the slightest. Who knew if the constructs would suddenly reform? A surprise attack now would be disastrous.

Lin Xuan had no time to care what they were thinking. He was busy reading the memories from the soul he’d just absorbed. As he guided the process, a flood of memories poured into his mind—a torrent so vast and complex it nearly blew his head apart.

"Ugh..."

Lin Xuan swayed, and Zi Yi, who was standing nearby, quickly steadied him. "Are you alright?" she asked, worried. She didn’t suspect anything, just assuming he was still unsteady from his injury.

"I’m fine, just a little dizzy." After regaining his balance, a look of utter shock filled Lin Xuan’s eyes.

The impact of the Golden Dragon King’s memories was so immense that it took him a moment to process it all. He now knew the truth: these Bone Dragon Ruins had been the Golden Dragon King’s final refuge. The dust covering the ground was all that was left of the corpses of grievously wounded members of the Dragon Race. They had disintegrated into powder upon death to prevent their very bones from being exploited.

As for who they had angered and who had wiped them out, that part of the memory was too vague; it was mostly just flashes of conflict within the Divine Beast Realm. In the end, the Golden Dragon King’s faction had lost. They could only flee with their wounded Giant Dragons and hide here until their deaths, never getting a chance for vengeance.

He couldn’t decipher the finer details; the events had transpired far too long ago. The Dragon Race had long lifespans, yet all of them had perished, a testament to how long they had been hiding here. More importantly, they had all been suffering from grievous, irreparable wounds that had hastened their deaths.

The Golden Dragon King had been no exception; Lin Xuan now recalled seeing cracks on its skeleton when he first laid eyes on it. To him, the memories of the Divine Beast conflict were irrelevant. What truly mattered was that most of the Martial Arts techniques were preserved in the memories. For him, that was more than enough.

What he needed was a vast repository of Martial Arts and various Cultivation Techniques for Cultivating the Spirit!

As he began to sift through the memories more carefully, one particular memory surged forward, causing his mind to go blank for an instant.

The majestic figure of the Golden Dragon King appeared in Lin Xuan’s mind’s eye. He held a golden Dragon Egg in his hands, which shone like a dazzling, golden gemstone.

’What am I to do with this child? I can’t take the little one with me; it would be too dangerous...’

The Golden Dragon King flew over a vast mountain forest, searching for a place to hide the egg. Finally, he spotted a volcano, and his eyes lit up. ’I’ll leave it there! It’s an active volcano, which will be good for my child. It will protect her!’

He transformed into a streak of golden light and plunged into the sweltering volcano, its intense heat posing no threat to him. He found a suitable spot, dug a deep cavern, and buried the golden egg. Gazing at the Dragon Egg one last time, he said with profound sadness, "Your father won’t be able to watch you hatch. I hope you grow up healthy and strong, and one day lead the Golden Dragon lineage to rise once more!"

The Golden Dragon King filled the hole, placed a protective Restriction over it, and then swiftly flew away.

At that point, the memory ended. There were no others like it; the remainder were indeed records of Martial Arts techniques.

This left Lin Xuan deeply shaken. The other memories had almost faded away, yet this one remained so profound! It was proof of how deeply this matter was seared into the Golden Dragon King’s mind before his death.

’A Dragon Egg... I wonder if it’s still there!’ Lin Xuan’s heart practically leaped out of his chest. If it hatched, the dragon would be an astonishingly powerful ally.

’Senior, since I have been fortunate enough to receive your memory, I will do what I can to look after your child!’ Lin Xuan had already made a decision. As soon as this matter was concluded, he would go search for that Dragon Egg.

He wondered if the Dragon Egg was still there, or if it had already hatched and the dragon had left. No matter what, he had to make a trip to that volcano!
