Chapter 361 The Dragon-Trapping Stone, the Soul Beast's Will.
"Boy, that's about enough."
At this moment, the Fire Dragon King suddenly appeared in front of the Fire Phoenix, crushing it with a single hand under the power of the secret realm.
"Senior, what are you doing..."
Ma Hongjun immediately withdrew his martial soul after seeing the Fire Dragon King, who never intervened in the battle, actually block his attack.
Then, he landed on the ground next to the volcano, looking at the Fire Dragon King with a puzzled expression, and asked.
"Even if you continue fighting, with your current strength, you can't do anything to the Lava Armored Dragon. And now that you've advanced to Soul Emperor, you must need a suitable soul ring, right?"
Looking at the Fire Dragon King's slightly narrowed eyes, a look of surprise flashed in Ma Hongjun's eyes, "Could it be that after you take me out of this secret realm, you're going to hunt for your sixth soul ring!?"
"No need for that trouble."
Before he finished speaking, the Fire Dragon King had already waved his hand, causing the Lava Armored Dragon's soul lurking in the magma to retreat quickly.
Then, he slowly raised his right hand.
With a mere flick of his wrist, the Fire Dragon King revealed a dark, unremarkable stone in his palm.
This sight utterly disappointed Ma Hongjun.
"I thought it was something special! Just a stone, right?"
He said, tentatively touching the stone with his finger, but the result immediately extinguished his interest.
"Is that so? Then take a closer look." The Fire Dragon King grinned wickedly, and a surge of energy flowed into the stone in his palm.
In an instant, the ordinary stone underwent a dramatic transformation before Ma Hongjun's astonished eyes.
It instantly became as if carved from black crystal, its edges sharp and its surface flawlessly clear.
What's most peculiar is that there are black lines on the surface of this stone. Their pattern is almost identical to the lines that appear after Xuanmo's martial soul is possessed.
Moreover, the stone now gives Ma Hongjun the feeling that a powerful energy is sealed within it, like a cage and shackles.
Noticing the change in Ma Hongjun's emotions, the Fire Dragon King remained calm and asked, "Do you have any thoughts now?"
Hearing this meaningful voice, Ma Hongjun immediately snapped out of his daze. After involuntarily swallowing, he suppressed his shock, forcibly shifting his attention away from the stone and staring stiffly at the Fire Dragon King.
"Senior, what is this thing…?"
"You mean this?" The Fire Dragon King tossed it to Ma Hongjun. "Actually, this stone has a name. It's called… the Dragon-Trapping Stone!"
Without another word, he tossed it to Ma Hongjun…
Meanwhile, on Xuanmo's side, the same scene unfolded.
"This stone is your surprise."
Xuan Mo, who had just broken through to level 70, examined the stone in his palm and couldn't help but look at the Earth Dragon King in front of him.
"So what's this stone called..."
"Hmm..." The Earth Dragon King was about to speak, but seemed to suddenly realize something, quickly stopping himself. Then, a strange expression appeared on his face as he said, "Originally, it didn't have a name, but now... it's called the Dragon-Trapping Stone."
Touching the stone, "Dragon-Trapping Stone... a Soul Ring..."
Xuan Mo frowned, lost in thought.
At this moment, the Earth Dragon King's voice rang in Xuan Mo's ears.
"That's right. What this Dragon-Trapping Stone can give you is that you don't need to hunt Soul Beasts; it will grant you Soul Skills and the highest level Soul Ring you can withstand. I don't know if you know about Divine Soul Rings, but the Dragon-Trapping Stone is just that amazing."
"Is that so?"
Hearing the words "Divine Soul Ring," Xuan Mo's eyes sharpened. With his clear mind, he immediately realized a very important point. So, he looked at the Earth Dragon King and asked.
"What about a soul skill? Is it the most suitable for me?"
The Earth Dragon King paused for a moment, then... laughed.
"Good lad, your reaction is indeed quick."
The Earth Dragon King reached out and the Dragon-Trapping Stone returned to his hand, then lightly tapped it with his finger.
"Do you know the origin of this soul ring?"
Before this seemingly off-key question could even leave his lips, Xuan Mo crossed his arms and looked at the Earth Dragon King. He didn't seem to mind, and continued speaking to himself.
"Actually, a basic soul ring, the one produced by hunting soul beasts, is actually composed of three things: energy, spiritual power, and soul power. Only when these three combine can a soul ring be created."
At this point, his gaze returned to the Dragon-Trapping Stone, "So the five of us siblings also conducted an experiment."
Reaching out, the Earth Dragon King grasped a wisp of pure and vibrant energy in his hand. Xuan Mo felt an intense familiarity with this energy. He had sensed it before in the Lake of Life in the heart of the Star Dou Great Forest.
"This is life energy..."
"Looks like you're quite knowledgeable, kid."
The Earth Dragon King wasn't surprised and admitted, "That's right, this is life energy. It's also energy fed back from the soul beasts outside. The older the soul beast, the more life energy it contains."
"Feedback from outside?"
Xuan Mo raised an eyebrow slightly, asking in confusion.
"Exactly. After all, there's give and take in this world. When the energy in this secret realm is released, the secret realm itself will also draw life energy from the soul rings of some dead soul beasts outside."
Then, the life energy in the Earth Dragon King's hand dissipated.
"Therefore, we five Dragon Kings used this energy, combined with the spiritual power and soul power possessed by the dragon souls in the secret realm, to create this Dragon-Trapping Stone, allowing you to obtain a soul ring within it..."
However, what the Earth Dragon King didn't notice was that as he continued speaking, Xuan Mo's expression became increasingly strange, until...
"So... this Dragon-Trapping Stone is the first time you've let us use it."
"Uh." Seeing Xuan Mo's expression, the Earth Dragon King understood Xuan Mo's inner thoughts.
"Don't worry, this Dragon-Trapping Stone will definitely be fine. Otherwise, would we have given it to you?" After glancing at Xuan Mo, he tossed the Dragon-Trapping Stone again. "Of course, when obtaining the spirit ring inside, you'll also face the will of a spirit beast."
"Spirit beast will? What do you mean?"
Xuan Mo was clearly intrigued by the Earth Dragon King's words.
"Although the Dragon-Trapping Stone was created by our Dragon King, similar to a divinely bestowed spirit ring, it's still different from one. Each Dragon-Trapping Stone has a corresponding spirit beast's will. To obtain a spirit ring of a certain age, you have to defeat a weakened version of the spirit beast of that age."
"A weakened version of the spirit beast?"
The Earth Dragon King smiled without saying anything, then handed the Dragon-Trapping Stone back to Xuan Mo…
