Douluo: Emerald Poison Emperor-Chapter 353: Douluo: Emerald Poison Emperor []

"God of Love, Phoenix, Dragon Realm, Divine Star, Creation and Destruction united as one."

"Do not trust the Dragon God, he is the greatest liar."

"What is all of this about?" After withdrawing from his spiritual vision, Chen Ming sat cross-legged in front of the heads of the two Dragon Kings, deeply unsettled as he pondered the words they left behind upon their fall. But even after half a day, he couldn't make sense of it.

Achieving the rank of a First-Level God was not difficult for him at this point, but the rank of God King was far beyond his reach. It would require hundreds or even thousands of years of accumulation to even attempt. As a result, Chen Ming had no choice but to consider shattering the Asura God's divine position to use it as a resource for creating his own God King position.

As for the position of Supreme God King, the distance to that was practically unfathomable—tens of thousands of miles away, figuratively speaking.

After all, in the Douluo series, even with its somewhat illogical progression, there were a total of only two and a half Supreme God Kings.

One was the Dragon God, another was the second-generation Dragon God, Lan Xuanyu, and the half was Tang San, who, after being swept into a black hole and coming into contact with the aura of chaos, claimed to ascend to the level of a Supreme God King.

But strictly speaking, none of these three seemed to truly qualify as a Supreme God King in the truest sense.

The Dragon God's status as a Supreme God King was questionable. According to the explanation in the Douluo series, his powers were originally limited to destruction and annihilation, while the power of creation was plundered from the Phoenix God King. These two opposing forces created two conflicting mindsets within him, leading to a problem of split personality.

Without resolving this issue, the Dragon God, while perhaps close in terms of power, couldn't be considered a true Supreme God King in terms of the realm.

Lan Xuanyu, as a successor, had carved his path of judgment law, but how much of the Dragon God's power he inherited was still unclear. Or perhaps he hadn't truly escaped the Dragon God's constraints, remaining a second-generation Dragon God rather than becoming the first-generation "Lan Xuanyu God King" of his own making.

As for Tang San God King...

No need for much explanation—those who know, know. The level of dedication it takes to follow one's deceased wife into death speaks for itself.

Chen Ming had seen the power of creation left behind by the Dragon God within the Golden Ancient Tree and had witnessed an indescribable force in the depths of the universe that he couldn't comprehend. Yet, he couldn't use this to infer the true nature of the Dragon God.

Even the Ice and Fire Dragon Kings, despite their fall, contained energy within their dragon bodies that far surpassed Chen Ming's by a hundredfold. That energy alone was enough to create multiple Second-Level Gods with water, fire, and ice attributes, or even produce a First-Level God.

The Dragon God's existence was something he had to remain cautious about. Whether it was the Silver Dragon King of the Star Dou Forest or the Golden Dragon King of the Divine Realm, their very existence could be remnants or pawns of the Dragon God. But what did the Dragon God truly care about and desire?

Was it the perfect power of a Supreme God King? Or the Divine Star?

Or was it, as the original story implied, a means to pave the way for his son and then commit suicide to reunite with his wife?

Phoenix, Dragon Realm, Divine Star, Creation and Destruction united—these could all be explored for understanding. But the God of Love?

What does the God of Love have to do with this? Could it be that there was some special connection between the God of Love and the Dragon God in that era?

And what did it mean to call the Dragon God the greatest liar? What had the Dragon God lied to the Nine Dragon Kings about, for the Fire Dragon King—who regarded the Dragon God as a father—to declare in his final moments, "Do not trust him, he is the greatest liar"?

Moreover, the shattering of the Ice and Fire Dragon Kings' dragon souls—was this something that originally existed in the timeline, or was it caused by Chen Ming's presence? Had his future self glimpsed into the past and caused the Fire Dragon King to reveal forbidden truths, leading to the destruction of their dragon souls?

As Chen Ming pondered, he guided the Ascending Dragon Sword to absorb the remaining power from the two Dragon Kings, converting it into his strength. Although the amount he could absorb was small relative to their residual power, it significantly improved his condition.

His soul power quickly rose from level 65, reaching level 66 within a few hours and level 67 by the end of the day. In just three days, Chen Ming advanced from a level 65 Soul Emperor to the threshold of a level 70 Soul Sage.

During this cultivation, the Ascending Dragon Sword underwent changes due to the absorption of the Ice and Fire Dragon Kings' power. The portion of its bloodline belonging to the Silver Dragon fused more harmoniously with the bloodlines of the Ice and Fire Dragon Kings, becoming inseparable. The Golden Dragon and Silver Dragon bloodlines also advanced further, enhancing the quality of the Ascending Dragon Sword.

Although it was still classified as a divine weapon, at this rate of growth, it could likely reach the level of a main divine weapon within ten years. As for becoming a super divine weapon...

Super divine weapons correspond to God King level. Even with the immense boost provided by the Ice and Fire Dragon Kings, Chen Ming estimated that he would need to raise his soul power to the level of a Super Douluo and equip the Ascending Dragon Sword with nine fifty-thousand-year or higher soul rings before it could aspire to the level of a super divine weapon.

After reaching the limits of soul power in the Douluo world, Chen Ming glanced at the heads of the Ice and Fire Dragon Kings resting together, sighed, and then used the Ascending Dragon Sword's vague perception of the world to transport himself to the Red Water of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, returning to the outer Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.

After communicating with the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger, who was on guard, and confirming that no one had arrived during this time, Chen Ming dug out the Wishful Hundred Treasures Pouch from a corner and retrieved three sets of Eight Spider Lances.

These three sets of Eight Spider Lances were spoils from Chen Ming's recent hunt of Man-Faced Demon Spiders. Two sets came from two-thousand-year-old Man-Faced Demon Spiders, which Chen Ming had later infused with a significant amount of their essence, raising them to nine-thousand-year quality without absorbing them. The third set of Eight Spider Lances came directly from a fifty-thousand-year-old Man-Faced Demon Spider.

Chen Ming took out the Eight Spider Lances and various soul bones dropped by the Man-Faced Demon Spiders, then began carefully observing and comparing them. Life force flowed intermittently into the soul bones from his hands as his spiritual power deeply probed the resonance between the soul bones.

Head bone, torso bone, left arm bone, right arm bone, left leg bone, right leg bone...

Chen Ming selected the most complete pieces, those closest to resembling human skeletal structures, and assembled them into a roughly humanoid form. He then infused them with life force and soul power, attempting to awaken the bloodline power within the soul bones and connect them.

Bit by bit, he adjusted and experimented with different stimulation methods. After half an hour, the full set of soul bones from the Man-Faced Demon Spiders finally began to resonate.

The soul bones gravitated toward each other, their bloodlines activating and their auras intermingling. Soul power flowed between them. The energy of the higher-grade soul bones nourished the lower-grade ones, enhancing their age and quality.

The six soul bones emitted a milky white light, and each contained traces of the other five within it.

PS: The Dragon God developed a split personality after absorbing the True God Phoenix's origin, manifesting as a male (Golden Dragon King) and a female (Silver Dragon King). I believe Gu Yuena's personality came from the Phoenix God King. It always bothers me why the Dragon God has a female side.
