--- Chapter 163 ---

Han Yuan and Qian Renxue are mindful of their steps. They are still in the forest, seeing nothing but mist and occasionally trees. Yet, their sense of hearing also caught the sound of water flowing nearby.

"How long have we been walking?" asked Qian Renxue.

"Probably, five minutes or so," answered Han Yuan. "What's the matter?"

Qian Renxue frowned, "Don't you feel we are walking in circles? I've been seeing the same tree about fifteen times now."

Of course, Han Yuan knew what Qian Renxue was talking about because this mist had clouded their senses. However, he had the 'Eyes of Truth' that could see past this mist.

While Han Yuan felt they were walking in circles, the 'Eyes of Truth' told him that they were getting closer to the source of this mist.

Of course, just the 'Eyes of Truth' alone isn't enough.

Han Yuan actually constantly used the surrounding blue silver grass and his bioelectricity to scan the area. It was like a sonar, which vibrated and gave him a rough graphic of the area around him.

A moment later, they arrived at the lake. The lake didn't have white mist like the forest, but under the cloudy sky, it looked darker than Han Yuan remembered earlier.

"There is no sunlight here..." Qian Renxue commented. She looked up and added, "It seemed the clouds above were too thick."

Meanwhile, Han Yuan scanned the lake, watching bubbles appear on the lake as a spirit energy that of a Title Douluo suddenly burst out.

A white light rushed toward Han Yuan and Qian Renxue, breaking the mist away.

BOOM! ROOOOARR!

A fearsome dragon head suddenly appeared before Han Yuan and Qian Renxue's eyes, ready to swallow them whole.

"Dragon!" Qian Renxue panicked, wanting to use her spirit bone's skill to protect herself and Han Yuan. "How could there be such a strong dragon here?"

However, before Qian Renxue could do that, Han Yuan had already made a move. He raised his right hand and stabbed his index finger, causing a burst of spear energy to explode at the face of the white dragon.

"Purple Silver Holy Explosion!"

Han Yuan sneered, using the first form of his Fallen Holy Finger's spirit skill.

Under Qian Renxue's shocked eyes, Han Yuan blasted the white dragon away from their sight and caused a blinding purple silver light to fill her view.

BOOOOOOOOM!!

Roar!

The dragon's painful cry echoed in the lake, shaking the white mist slightly.

Shockwave then followed, causing Qian Renxue to cross her arms in confusion.

'W-What just happened?' Qian Renxue was dumbfounded. 'Xiao Yuan actually hit a dragon with his finger!'

'Was that Spirit Bone? No, that was an External Spirit Bone!'

'He actually has an External Spirit Bone!'

'B-But why did I feel such closeness from this Spirit Bone's aura? It was such a pure, holy presence, too...'

On the other hand, Han Yuan stared at the injured white dragon, who had lost one of its eyes, with surprise on his face. After all, that attack, while it wasn't his most masterful attack, could effortlessly kill most Soul Douluo, or even Title Douluo, in surprise.

Yet, this white dragon tanked that.

'Hmm, something is off about this dragon.' Han Yuan frowned as he used the Eyes of Truth again.

...

[Name: White Serpent Dragon (Possessed)]

[Race: Sub-type Dragon (Inherited Blood)]

[Cultivation: 99,999-year-old]

[Description: The White Serpent Dragon is a somewhat fortunate 'white snake' spirit beast that has inherited the essence blood of the Abyssal White Dragon, allowing it to evolve into a subtype of dragon. As a super spirit beast, the White Serpent Dragon possesses the blood of a True Dragon and can wield the ultimate light element, though this power comes at a heavy cost. Since its evolution, the Abyssal White Dragon has used the White Serpent Dragon as its vessel, suppressing the latter's consciousness. It is also why the White Serpent Dragon has not yet broken through to the 100,000-year-old realm.]

...

[Obtainable Spirit Skill: White Dragon's Lunge (30%), White Dragon Swam to the Sky (30%), White Dragon's Tail Flick (30%), White Dragon's Burning Light Transformation (9.9%), Soul Ascension (0.1%)]

...

[Weakness: While the White Serpent Dragon is a super spirit beast with the blood of a True Dragon, it longed for freedom. Severing the Abyssal White Dragon's influence on the White Serpent Dragon's body will cause an upheaval, freeing it. So, spiritual and soul-based attacks will be very effective.

...

Han Yuan stared at the injured White Serpent Dragon calmly. No wonder the dragon's state feels weird. The Abyssal White Dragon possessed its body.

"Thunder God's Inheritor! You deserve to die!" The White Serpent Dragon, no, the Abyssal White Dragon, roared at Han Yuan.

Han Yuan narrowed his eyes, "Thunder God? I see, it seems you have quite a feud with my predecessor."

"Unfortunately for you, the Thunder God has fallen."

"Impossible!" The 'White Serpent Dragon' shouted in disbelief. "He's the strongest under the Godking realm! How could he die before I avenge myself!"

"Thunder God, You Despicable Bastard!"

ROOOOOOOARR!

"Woah, what's with the hostility here?" Han Yuan was speechless.

Han Yuan deduced that the Thunder God and the Abyssal White Dragon were likely acquainted in the Divine Realm and may have fought during the Divine War between the Beast Gods and the Human Gods.

'I probably should have asked the God of Destruction about this next time we met.' Han Yuan wrote this question in his list.

Even then, Han Yuan was somewhat helpless about the situation between the Dragon Clan and the Divine Realm. Honestly, he doesn't want to get into this problem this soon.

However, eventually, Douluo Planet and Divine Realm are still his future targets.

"Since I can't kill Thunder God, then I can just kill you..." Suddenly, the 'White Serpent Dragon' lunged toward Han Yuan again. Its giant body rolled above the lake as its long, muscular tail swung toward him.

"Han Yuan!" Qian Renxue called out.

Han Yuan sighed, "Is this the karma of becoming God's inheritor?'

'Then, again, I, being the Child of Destiny, make it worse.'

Han Yuan shook his head and mumbled, "Holy Spear, manifest..."

Swoosh!

A ten-segmented spear appeared in Han Yuan's right hand. The spear is purple-gold, seemingly made out of precious metal and gems, radiating with electricity.

"A weapon-type spirit skill!" Qian Renxue stared at the spear in Han Yuan's hand in awe.

There are many types of spirit skills out there, but a spirit skill that can conjure and summon a weapon is rare and sought after. This spirit skill is usually inherited from the latent power of a spirit beast, making it much stronger than an ordinary spirit skill.

Since Han Yuan's weapon-type spirit skill comes from his External Spirit Bone, it means this spear can grow stronger with him!

Han Yuan didn't know what Qian Renxue was thinking. His focus is solely on the possessed White Serpent Dragon as he entered the Heaven and Earth Unity while using the third stage of Lightning Armor.

Swoosh!

Zzt!

Han Yuan rushed toward the White Serpent Dragon, and the super spirit beast responded in the same way.

Bright white light and purple-silver rays clashed in the air.

BANG!

"Impossible!" The 'White Serpent Dragon' was dumbfounded. Its long body twisted in pain as several slash marks covered its flesh. Each scars paralyzed the dragon, slowing it down by a few seconds.

"How can a Spirit Emperor like you possess such strength?!"

"Heh, who said a Spirit Emperor cannot kill a 100,000-year-old spirit beast?" Han Yuan didn't care much about the Abyssal White Dragon's shock as the spear in his hand spun rapidly like a contained beast.

Qian Renxue recognized this spear move because Han Yuan had used it once against her and covered her mouth. "Heavenly Spear Judgement, Furious Heart Strike!"

Han Yuan channelled his spirit energy, spiritual power, bioelectricity, and artistic concept of his Purple Silver Grass into the Fallen Holy Spear, making it glow with a fearsome golden light.

Then, he thrust it forward, causing the world to shift and lose its color for a moment. Even with the Abyssal White Dragon's strong spiritual sense, this spear move broke its perception and understanding of the spirit master's cultivation.

'Too fast, too powerful, a brat like him. T-This is not the power a mortal should have...' The Abyssal White Dragon thought, watching as the spear broke the White Serpent Dragon's heart, additionally severing its connection with its vessel.
