Chapter 241: Colonel Red Dragon's Persuasion
"For me?" The Golden Dragon Maiden's face darkened slightly.
She was well aware of her value to humans; any human who mated with her not only saw a significant enhancement in their talents but also had a chance to inherit a trace of her golden dragon bloodline during the process.
Either benefit was enough to drive any human soul master mad.
So... he came for my body?
"Disgusting, shameless!" The Golden Dragon Maiden cursed angrily.
"Ah?" Du Qianjue was stunned.
What? Am I really that disgusting and shameless?
"Dream on if you want my body!" The Golden Dragon Maiden gritted her teeth, fury burning in her golden eyes. "I would rather die than let you succeed!"
Du Qianjue's aura was overwhelmingly strong; the Golden Dragon Maiden could tell just from a slight sense that he was at the level of an ultimate Douluo.
Humans couldn't absorb any more soul rings after reaching the Titled Douluo level. In the Golden Dragon Maiden's eyes, although Du Qianjue appeared young, being beyond a Titled Douluo, he surely didn't need any soul rings.
The only remaining conclusion was that he wanted her body.
Feeling the Golden Dragon Maiden's fury, the guardian soul beasts around her were also ready to attack Du Qianjue at any moment.
"You want my body?" Du Qianjue looked at the Golden Dragon Maiden strangely, admittedly finding her figure quite appealing.
"Yes, I indeed fancy it, so why not just give in and sacrifice yourself to me?"
Sacrifice?
Now it was the Golden Dragon Maiden's turn to be confused, her beautiful eyebrows furrowing in puzzlement. "You're already an ultimate Douluo, why would you need a soul ring?"
"Who told you I'm an ultimate Douluo? I just have the combat power of that level," Du Qianjue chuckled, then released his Chaos Dragon King spirit.
Grey-white dragon scales began growing on the surface of his skin, and in just a moment, his hands transformed into sturdy dragon claws, scales appeared on his lower jaw, and his eyes turned into a mix of red and blue vertical pupils.
Crimson, red, and green-gold soul rings rose under his feet, and a supreme dragon's might swept out at that moment.
Facing these hundred-thousand-year soul beasts, Du Qianjue didn't hold back. His oppressive force didn't kill them but pressured them fiercely to the ground, their intense fear causing them to panic.
Even the Golden Dragon Maiden was affected, kneeling with one knee on the ground, her face flushed and filled with disbelief.
She had the bloodline of a golden dragon!
In terms of bloodline strength, the golden dragon's was not inferior to Di Tian's Black Dragon King. Even though her bloodline wasn't dense, it still wailed in the presence of Du Qianjue's overwhelming aura.
Far from comparable!
Why did a human possess such intense dragon might, making her unable to even think of resisting?
Especially seeing the soul ring under Du Qianjue's feet, with crimson gold and ten blue-gold stripes, the Golden Dragon Maiden felt an intense urge to submit.
Dragons highly value bloodlines.
Not to mention the diluted golden dragon bloodline in the Golden Dragon Maiden, even a living golden dragon might not surpass Du Qianjue's Chaos Dragon King spirit in terms of bloodline power.
Maybe only a true Golden Dragon King could compare.
Not only was her bloodline overpowered, but her ultimate gold attribute was also utterly suppressed by the enhanced chaos attribute.
"How about it, sacrifice yourself to me, and I'll resurrect you once I become a god," Du Qianjue said with a grin.
Using power to pressure, thrilling!
"Are you... a human, or a predecessor of my dragon clan?" the Golden Dragon Maiden asked with difficulty.
"I am naturally a human, but I have a good relationship with your soul beasts and the dragon clan," Du Qianjue waved his hand, summoning the spirit of the Red Dragon.
He then withdrew his Chaos Dragon King spirit and dragon might, leaving only the Golden Dragon Maiden with a fluctuating expression on the spot.
"Come, Little Red, explain to her."
"Yes!" The woman in red, transformed from the Red Dragon, spoke respectfully.
Over the years with Du Qianjue, the Red Dragon had clearly recognized her position. Aside from the Great Earth Demon Bull, each soul beast in Du Qianjue's spirit sea was not weaker than her.
Even the Thundering Hell Vine with only a hundred thousand years of cultivation, possessing a powerful ultimate thunder attribute, could outmatch her in a fight.
And her experiences over the years made her truly believe that Du Qianjue could lead her to godhood and eternal life. She had completely submitted to Du Qianjue, seeing him as her master.
They say dragons are proud and unruly.
But under absolute suppression of bloodline and strength, dragons are also extremely loyal.
Du Qianjue nodded, sat down directly on the Raging Golden Tiger King's head, and pulled out a cup of milk tea from his storage soul-guiding device, casually stroking the cat while drinking his milk tea.
"Why is your fur so rough? It doesn't feel as good as the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger," Du Qianjue frowned, smacking the head of the Raging Golden Tiger King.
The aggrieved Raging Golden Tiger King didn't dare even whimper.
The moment Du Qianjue sat on its head, it sensed the pure aura of the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger from Du Qianjue's clothes.
If the nine great dragon kings and the gold and silver dragon kings were the pinnacle of the dragon clan, the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger was the pinnacle of tiger-type soul beasts. A god-level Dark Demon Evil God Tiger could almost suppress all tiger-type soul beasts.
With the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger being so much stronger than it, how could the Raging Golden Tiger King dare to make a sound?
The Golden Wolf Emperor and Silver Moon Wolf Emperor, who always disagreed with it, were gleefully watching from the side.
Both pairs of wolf eyes were full of schadenfreude wisdom.
And the Red Dragon came beside the Golden Dragon Maiden, helped her up from her half-kneeling position, and took her aside to talk.
"Sister, you must have around two hundred and ninety thousand years of cultivation by now, right?" the Red Dragon asked softly.
The Golden Dragon Maiden nodded. Being from the same dragon clan, the Red Dragon didn't make her feel the intense bloodline suppression like Du Qianjue did, instead giving her a sense of kinship.
So naturally, she didn't show much hostility towards the Red Dragon.
"Do you think you can survive the thirty-thousand-year heavenly tribulation?" the Red Dragon asked again.
The Red Dragon's question made the Golden Dragon Maiden hesitate for a moment. Just as she was about to nod and say she was confident, the Red Dragon's next words made her fall silent.
"Confident for thirty thousand years, what about forty thousand? Fifty thousand?"
The Golden Dragon Maiden was at a loss for words.
Although she had the bloodline of a golden dragon, it wasn't dense and didn't provide her much support. Her forte was metal attribute control, not physical strength, making her tribulations even more challenging than those of ordinary soul beasts.
She couldn't possibly survive as long as Di Tian, who was still thriving at eight hundred thousand years.
The Red Dragon looked towards Du Qianjue, who was leisurely drinking milk tea on the Raging Golden Tiger King's head, and smiled slightly, whispering, "Sister, did you know? I only met the master about five or six years ago. Do you know what his cultivation level was at that time?"
"At that time, he was only twelve years old, but he had already reached the sixtieth level. After my sacrifice, he directly broke through to the sixty-seventh level, becoming a Soul Emperor at twelve years old. Such a genius is unprecedented in the human world."
"What?! Twelve years old?" the Golden Dragon Maiden suddenly widened her eyes in shock. "Don't tell me he's only seventeen or eighteen now and already has the combat power of a human ultimate Douluo?"
"Although it's unbelievable, it's true," the Red Dragon nodded and smiled. "When the master came to find me, I didn't want to sacrifice myself. It was only out of desperation that I did. But these years of experiences with him made me realize that I made the right choice."
"Soul beasts ultimately can't become gods! But my master can definitely become a god, and I can enter the divine realm with him and obtain eternal life."
The longer you live, the less you want to die. Although the Golden Dragon Maiden wasn't afraid of death, if she could live, why would she willingly die?
"Can you tell me what his relationship with the dragon clan is? Why does he have such strong dragon might?" the Golden Dragon Maiden asked after a long silence.
The Red Dragon shook her head; it wasn't that she didn't want to tell the Golden Dragon Maiden, but she also didn't know how Du Qianjue's Chaos Dragon King spirit came about.
"I don't know, but the master has a good relationship with the Star Dou Divine Beast Di Tian. They have an agreement that the master will protect the soul beast clan after he becomes a god. This is very beneficial for our soul beast clan," the Red Dragon explained.
"Moreover, apart from one Dark Demon Evil God Tiger soul ring that the master obtained from hunting, the other soul rings on him were all given to him through the sacrifice of soul beasts like me."
"What?! All of them?" The Golden Dragon Maiden was truly shocked this time.
All were sacrifices?
The Red Dragon stretched out her hands, counting on her fingers: "Yes, all of them. Apart from me, there was my former neighbor, the hundred-thousand-year Great Earth Demon Bull, the hundred-thousand-year Thundering Hell Vine, the two-hundred-thousand-year Ice Wing Cold Falcon, the three-hundred-thousand-year Ice Bear King, the three-hundred-thousand-year Bright Unicorn, the four-hundred-thousand-year Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion, the six-hundred-thousand-year Sea Princess, and the million-year Ice Silkworm."
This... so many?!
No wonder he has the combat power of an ultimate Douluo at the age of seventeen or eighteen. His foundation is incredibly deep!
The Golden Dragon Maiden looked at Du Qianjue with complex emotions, struggling internally.
"Join us. Believe me, the master has already reserved your soul ring. He is willing to offer you a chance to become a god; otherwise, he could have just killed you and absorbed your soul ring."
The Red Dragon's last sentence was the final straw that broke the camel's back.
Her words also reminded the Golden Dragon Maiden that with Du Qianjue's strength, he could indeed have easily killed her and absorbed her soul ring.
He clearly had the absolute power, yet he still offered her a choice. From this perspective, this human didn't seem so bad...
It must be said that the Red Dragon had indeed improved her persuasiveness over the years with Du Qianjue. Just a few words were enough to make the Golden Dragon Maiden drop her hostility towards Du Qianjue.
Du Qianjue couldn't help but look at her appreciatively.
