Soul Land IV (Douluo Dalu) : Ultimate Fighting-Chapter 1104 - Ascending Dragon City
Chapter 1104: Chapter 1104 Ascending Dragon City
After the last incident, Lan Xuanyu, deeply reflecting on the pain, consulted with his companions and Tree Elder and came up with a plan.
The most powerful ability of the Ring of Destiny is that it can contain living beings, like a separate mini-plane where one can survive and carry with them.
The previous few times they absorbed the bloodline power of the Dragon Clan for Dragon Power Refining, they acted on the spur of the moment. That approach could lead to uncontrollable situations like the last time.
Wanting a safer absorption of Dragon Power for Body Refining, they knew the plan had to change.
Therefore, after the consultation, capturing and bringing back grievously wounded members of the Dragon Clan to a safe location for devouring and Refining was put on the agenda.
The final decision was to excavate a cave in the primitive forest. On the surface, Tree Elder would transform into a giant tree for camouflage. As much as possible, the scent would be concealed, and within a few dozen miles, a dozen plant-system masters would station themselves, monitoring the surroundings to prevent any accidents.
...
In this way, using the Ring of Destiny to bring captured members of the Dragon Clan into the cave for devouring and absorption would naturally be much safer. Of course, the premise was being able to restrain these members of the Dragon Clan. Severely injuring them before constraining them was not too difficult in theory.
They had not acted during this time in order to perfect this scheme. Lan Xuanyu did not want only the seven of them to benefit from Dragon Power Refining, but the entire Thirty-Three Skywing to ride this wind. The benefits of Dragon Power Refining were too clear, especially for those weaker by nature, the poorer one’s physique, the stronger the effect. With increased physical strength, plus the rich life energy here and the support from the plant-system masters, everyone’s Cultivation speed would surely reach an astonishing level, definitely faster than when in Eternal Sky City.
Lan Xuanyu harbored an ambitious dream inside. If with ample time, everyone in Thirty-Three Skywing could ascend to God Rank, the things they could do on Sky Dragon Planet in the future would indeed be numerous. In alliance with the federation, conquering this place was not entirely impossible.
Although eight hours felt quite long, when spent in Cultivation, time seemed to pass much quicker.
When Huang Yuanlang notified Lan Xuanyu and Bai Xiuxiu that they were about to arrive, the windows on the Dragon Chariot were already opened, allowing them to see the scenery outside.
They had not yet seen Ascending Dragon City, but a majestic mountain had already come into view.
The giant mountain rose through the clouds, straight upward, with extremely steep cliffs. Strangely enough, the mountain was wider at the top and narrower at the bottom, looking like a huge mushroom planted on the ground.
According to the information they had accessed before, the height of the Ascending Dragon Platform exceeded twelve thousand kilometers, truly deserving the title of the highest peak on the Sky Dragon Planet. Yet they had not anticipated such an extraordinary sight.
All members of the Dragon Clan, during their flight, unless they were breaking through the atmosphere, were required to maintain an altitude lower than that of the Ascending Dragon Platform. This was a stringent rule of the Dragon Clan, and of course, other flying species were even more restricted.
“That’s the Ascending Dragon Platform, completely barren but the place closest to the sky. It’s the true sacred place of our Dragon Clan. Only a knighted Dragon Knight has the qualification to ascend the Ascending Dragon Platform through flight,” Yuan Lang said somewhat wistfully.
He was very aware that with his talents, he would never have the chance to become a Dragon Knight in this lifetime. But which member of the Dragon Clan wouldn’t dream of being knighted and soaring into the sky one day?
Lan Xuanyu and Bai Xiuxiu exchanged a glance. While their hearts were tense, they were also somewhat excited. With the time of their infiltration passing, they were getting closer and closer to the heart of Sky Dragon Planet.
The Flying Dragon Palanquin began to gradually descend, heading in the direction of the Ascending Dragon Platform.
As it neared, it became clear that a massive city had come into view, centered around the Ascending Dragon Platform. The city had been constructed entirely around the Ascending Dragon Platform, which stood at the very heart of it. The whole city radiated outward. In terms of area, it was at least twice the size of Fenglong City. Yet, what was strange was the lack of particularly tall buildings. Even the tallest did not exceed a hundred meters. Clearly, this was also related to the Ascending Dragon Platform.
As they drew closer, it could also be seen that the mountain peak of the Ascending Dragon Platform was indeed as barren as Huang Yuanlang had described, with not a single blade of grass or any plant life, its surface a grayish-brown color. It was unknown what material it was made of. But it was obvious that it was no ordinary stone; otherwise, it would be impossible for it to support such a heavy peak with a narrower base and wider top.
The narrowest point at the bottom appeared to be about a kilometer in diameter, while the widest point at the top probably exceeded ten kilometers. It was truly a wonder among wonders. It was evident that the Ascending Dragon Platform itself must also be an incredible existence.
“What’s the Ascending Dragon Platform made of?” Bai Xiuxiu couldn’t help asking Huang Yuanlang.
Huang Yuanlang said, “I’m not too sure myself, but it’s said that the Ascending Dragon Platform wasn’t originally part of this world. Rather, it descended from the sky during the Dragon-Transformation Period and embedded itself in the earth, leading to the phenomenon known as dragon transformation. Centered on the Ascending Dragon Platform, the most numerous dragon-transformed species are found in this area. Although most of them perished during the Dragon-Transformation Period, the remaining Dragon Clan became the most formidable presence in this region. Hence, many believe it was the arrival of the Ascending Dragon Platform that brought about the dragon transformation and evolution.”
The Ascending Dragon Platform descended from the sky? Such a terrifying entity came from above?
Lan Xuanyu was shocked, calling out to the Treasure Hunting Beast in his heart, asking if it recognized the Ascending Dragon Platform.
The answer was negative; the Treasure Hunting Beast did not have any memory of such an entity.
However, the Treasure Hunting Beast told Lan Xuanyu that the Ascending Dragon Platform indeed was a treasure, but its aura seemed to be obscured by something, making it unclear. Unless it could return to its peak Cultivation level back in the Divine Realm, it would currently be impossible to determine what exactly it was.
This was the first time the Treasure Hunting Beast was unable to clearly discern a treasure.
As they were filled with curiosity about the city, the Flying Dragon Palanquin slowly descended, heading for an area close to the Ascending Dragon Platform and landing.
Below was a vast plaza. The plaza was incredibly broad, and despite the oppressive presence of the Ascending Dragon Platform in front, the plaza itself was just as awe-inspiring.
The ground of the plaza shimmered with a faint metallic luster, clearly the characteristic of unrefined rare metal ores. These ores had been polished smooth to form the plaza’s cobblestones. Due to the different metals contained within, they each emitted a different sheen.
The many metal cobblestones pieced together formed a series of beautiful and orderly patterns, an utterly alien and magnificent sight.

This place truly was rich! Lan Xuanyu felt envious; if the rare metal cobblestones here were all excavated for Forging, who knew how many rare metals could be crafted. Sky Dragon Planet was really extravagantly wealthy!
According to the information that Lan Xuanyu had gathered while on Sky Dragon Planet, the planet was constantly buying rare metals. However, they hadn’t made much use of these metals obtained from various races within the Dragon Horse Galaxy in terms of technological advancements, still falling short in comparison to the Douluo Federation. But after all, these were resources, continuously collected from the entire galaxy. Once their technology caught up to a high enough level, these resources could undoubtedly be transformed into combat power and even greater resources in a very short time.
The metal bricks on the plaza before them were probably one such resource.
After the Flying Dragon Palanquin landed on the plaza, Huang Yuanlang said, “This Ascending Dragon Plaza is one of the great wonders of Sky Dragon Planet. It took over 120 years to construct, using various valuable rare metal ores that were meticulously selected and polished. These ores could potentially be refined into rare metals. Our Dragon Clan loves shiny things. At night, when energy is infused here, the entire plaza emits a misty, treasure-like glow. Even from the top of the Ascending Dragon Platform, it’s clearly visible and incredibly beautiful. Many in the Dragon Clan have successfully proposed marriage here.”
