If the first Soul Core contained the mental force representing will, then the second Soul Core represented the blood energy force of the body.
The two equally matched forces collided, and an invisible fluctuation spread from Wang Nan's body. Even after the 'bone tempering', his body instantly developed cracks, and even his mental sea experienced a tremor.
The power of life gold quickly surged into his body, and the cracks on his body began to heal at a visible speed. His mental sea also slowly calmed down under this power.
The spreading impact showed no sign of stopping, hurtling toward the true Dragon skeleton not far away.
Di Tian, who was beside him, quickly extended his right hand, and another invisible ripple spread out. The two forces collided, forming tiny vortices that dispersed the surrounding mist, finally stopping the power emanating from Wang Nan's body.
Di Tian retracted his right hand and gently clenched it, feeling the power released from Wang Nan's body. He then looked at Wang Nan with surprise and uncertainty. "He succeeded?"
"Mm." The Silver Dragon King nodded gently.
Looking at Wang Nan again, the violent spirit power that had surrounded him had completely disappeared, and the pervasive mist had calmed. Within this mist, there was a vitality different from ordinary mental force—a vitality like surging blood energy.
Inside Wang Nan's body, the powers of the mental Soul Core in his glabella and the blood energy Soul Core in his chest had completely fused. Mental force, spirit power, and blood energy force—these three powers merged under the action of Wang Nan's Yin-Yang Complementary Soul Core.
Although it seemed like only a short time had passed in Wang Nan's perception, a long time had actually passed in the outside world.
The life gold in front of him had been completely consumed. Some had been used to repair his bodily injuries, but most had transformed into his power.
The blood energy in his body surged like a vast river, and he felt an inexhaustible strength throughout his body. Life aura continuously surged, and at that moment, his body seemed forged from life gold.
The spirit power in his meridians underwent earth-shattering changes. Affected by the Yin-Yang Complementary Soul Core, Wang Nan's spirit power simultaneously possessed the characteristics of mental force and blood energy force. His entire spirit power operated at will—blood energy surged endlessly, and spirit power was inexhaustible.
The spirit power flowing through every part of his body was like tiny vortices, with three powers condensed within them, containing extremely strong destructive power.
Withdrawing his mental force, Wang Nan gradually awoke from meditation. Before opening his eyes, he already sensed the difference in the outside world. The Dragon Tomb had not changed at all, but Wang Nan still felt a sense of sorrow emanating from it. Intense emotions surged from the numerous deceased Dragon skeletons.
This was not the effect of mental force but another completely different perception of the world. As Wang Nan successfully condensed the second Soul Core and his spirit power broke through Rank ninety, officially entering the Realm of Titled Douluo, his perception of the world became even clearer.
"If the God Realm were still here, you would surely have attracted its attention."
Wang Nan opened his eyes at the sound, seeing the Silver Dragon King in silver robes beside him. "Thank you for your help."
The Silver Dragon King's silver eyes scanned Wang Nan back and forth. After a moment's pause, she spoke softly, "You're welcome. Although I am half of the Dragon God, I also have my own consciousness. We've known each other for a long time; you can call me 'Gu Yue' from now on."
Di Tian, not far away, listened to their conversation. A hint of surprise flashed in his eyes when he heard Silver Dragon King Gu Yue speak her name.
Although Gu Yue appeared to be a young girl, she was truly half of the Dragon God, possessing power no less than that of a deity. Allowing Wang Nan to call her by her name meant that, in her eyes, Wang Nan was already completely different from an ordinary Spirit Master. He had already gained the qualification to become a deity like her.
"Come with me."
Wang Nan stood up. Although he had sat for a long time, his blood energy surged within him, and his body felt no discomfort. After slightly familiarizing himself with the power within him, he stepped forward to follow.
Passing by the enormous Dragon skeletons standing there, the swirling mist drifted before Wang Nan's eyes, allowing him to feel the sorrow within them more acutely. But similarly, beyond this sorrow, Wang Nan vaguely saw the scene of this giant Dragon soaring in the sky during its lifetime, feeling the longing for the sky after the sorrow.
Even after death, the Dragon Clan was still unwilling to simply fade away.
"Did you feel it?"
Hearing Gu Yue's words, Wang Nan nodded gently.
Only after breaking through Rank ninety did he clearly perceive the true face of the world. This plane was filled with the intentions of these deceased Dragons: the desolation of approaching death, unwillingness, sorrow, and the belief of longing to soar through the sky once more.
The reason this plane suppressed the Spirit of Spirit Masters who entered here was precisely because of these ubiquitous lingering thoughts of true Dragons.
"You possess the Dragon God's tear. Have you ever used its power?"
"Yes, I have." Wang Nan nodded.
"What kind of feeling was it?"
What kind of feeling?
Memories were reawakened, and Wang Nan seemed to return to the time when he used the Dragon God's tear, and countless Dragons danced.
Dragons came to pay homage, and he watched like a monarch as giant Dragons conquered everywhere. Even though he faced several Titled Douluo whose cultivation surpassed his own at that time, he still possessed the confidence to overcome everything.
In Wang Nan's eyes, all aura flashed and vanished.
"If you want to continue improving your cultivation, you still need a spirit ring. I can help you provide one, but you must remember that feeling you just had."
Gu Yue raised her right hand high, and her aura continuously rose. On the skeletons standing there, it was as if phantoms of giant Dragons emerged and ascended into the air. Countless Dragon souls appeared one after another, resonating with the Dragon God's tear in Wang Nan's hand.
The Dragon Tomb, sensing Gu Yue's summons, came alive. The entire plane seemed to gain consciousness at this moment and converged toward Gu Yue.
"I hope you will treat them well."
As Gu Yue's voice fell, Wang Nan felt countless consciousnesses surge into his mental sea.
It was not the first time Wang Nan had obtained a spirit ring, and he had experience resisting the Spirit Beast consciousness within a spirit ring, but he had never had so many Spirit Beast consciousnesses surge into his mental sea at once. Even with his current mental force, he was momentarily lost in thought.
The next moment, he felt his body float up. Before he knew it, a starry sky lay before him, countless stars rotating slowly. He roamed between the universe, sensing the will of the surrounding stars.
The universe was vast, yet facing the giant planets, he did not feel his own insignificance. Instead, he felt that everything was within his grasp.
Beside Wang Nan, a translucent spirit ring slowly appeared, adorned with specks of light, like stars in the cosmos.
