Chapter 1577: Chapter 181: Resentful Spirits Return
The Death Mountain Range began to gradually surge with dark currents due to the invasion of Ah Dai and his companions, even affecting the entire continent’s situation, which was continuously changing.
While in a coma, Ah Dai’s spiritual power was greatly enhanced after being fortified by the Divine Dragon, elevating his spiritual realm to another level under the boost of that vast sacred energy. After an unknown period, Ah Dai slowly opened his eyes and was surprised to find himself once again within his Golden Body rather than his physical form. As he moved his body, he noticed that the Golden Body seemed to have grown slightly bigger, clearly related to the intense practice of recent days. As the energy gap between the Golden Body and the Second Golden Body grew larger, he absorbed the energy of the Second Golden Body more quickly. He believed that it wouldn’t take long to completely absorb the power transferred into him by the Sword Saint of the Tian Gang.
Propelling his Golden Body, Ah Dai slowly swam upward, needing to return his spirit to the Sea of Consciousness in his brain to regain control of his body. With the rise of his spiritual energy, his senses greatly improved. Although he was wandering through meridians as before, he could clearly feel the amount of energy contained within each meridian. Under the control of his thoughts, the Golden Body expanded and contracted, finally managing to drift into the brain. The previously lingering evil and malicious aura seemed to have completely vanished, with no trace of it felt anymore. Savoring the comfort throughout his body, Ah Dai cautiously swam toward the depths of his brain’s Sea of Consciousness. Unbeknownst to him, the Divine Dragon had already neutralized the evil and malicious aura within him while helping to enhance his energy. With both his True Qi and spiritual power now reaching the highest level possible for him, he had become as strong as the Pope, becoming the person most akin to divinity after the Pope. Passing through the intricate meridians, Ah Dai finally propelled his Golden Body to the edge of the Sea of Consciousness. Upon entering the Sea of Consciousness, he was astonished to find a mass of blue energy suspended above, which wasn’t an evil aura but was filled with a sacred aura. This energy seemed to have a very close and intimate connection with him. Instinctively, Ah Dai controlled his Golden Body to float beside the blue energy. As he approached it, the sacred aura intensified, and Ah Dai felt an unusual comfort throughout his Golden Body, as if it couldn’t be controlled, reaching out a hand towards the blue energy. When he touched it, the blue light suddenly radiated intensely, enveloping his Golden Body in an instant. Amidst the blue glow, a familiar golden symbol shone, and Ah Dai suddenly realized this was the energy of the Dragon’s Blood! But why had he come into the Dragon’s Blood? As the memories before his coma gradually surfaced in his mind, he recalled how he had used the ultimate attack magic of the Dragon’s Blood, Divine Dragon Reincarnation, to summon the Divine Dragon from Heaven, and how the Divine Dragon had used its formidable dragon might to completely subdue the Resentful Spirits. At this moment, a voice suddenly sounded in his mind, "Master, the Bone Dragon is willing to forever follow your commands."
Startled, Ah Dai probed this unexpected energy with his spiritual power, finding it was a mass of gray-black energy, completely enveloped within the depths of the Dragon’s Blood energy. He couldn’t help but ask, "Are you the Bone Dragon? How is it that you can communicate with me spiritually like Sheng Xie? Why has the energy of the Dragon’s Blood appeared in my Sea of Consciousness?"
The Bone Dragon respectfully replied, "Actually, I am not entirely the Bone Dragon. I am the amalgamation of the Resentful Spirits you encountered that day in the Death Mountain Range. Under the Divine Dragon’s assistance, we have fully merged. Since the original Bone Dragon had only the lowest level of intelligence, I control the body after the assimilation. Master, please rest assured. With the Divine Dragon’s guidance, we understand now. You are the Savior sent by the Divine Realm; following you is the best choice for us. We Resentful Spirits and other Undead Creatures are different; we never wanted to be Undead Creatures. We are all spirits of wrongful deaths. The Divine Dragon has promised that if we help you complete the mission to eliminate evil, we will have a chance at rebirth. We will give our utmost effort; to us, possessing true life is a profound desire! The reason the energy of the Dragon’s Blood appears in your Sea of Consciousness is mainly because you have already fused with the Dragon’s Blood. Both my consciousness and the Dragon King’s consciousness can now communicate with you more easily. Your control over the Dragon’s Blood will also be more straightforward. However, the Dragon King has not yet recovered from the excessive energy depletion last time, which is honestly my fault."
Ah Dai was taken aback and asked, "Dragon King? What Dragon King? How is my connection with the Dragon’s Blood closer, making it easier to control?"
The Bone Dragon replied, "The Dragon King is that silver dragon! The Divine Dragon commanded me to heed both your and its directives in the future. If the Dragon King fully achieves its Ultimate Body, it could possess abilities equivalent to those of the Divine Dragon. The Divine Dragon that subdued us that day is actually the Dragon King reborn after reaching its Ultimate Body. The Dragon King is arguably the mightiest among dragons, inherently having a deterrent presence over other dragons. Even though my current form possesses power that surpasses the Dragon King, I dare not defy its orders lightly. Yet, the Dragon King following you is different from other Dragon Kings. It not only contains sacred energy but also harbors an immense evil aura, seemingly stemming from the power of the Demon Realm. With the memories of tens of thousands of Resentful Spirits, we are unsure of what it will become after achieving its Ultimate Body; perhaps it will be even more formidable than the Divine Dragon. As for how it becomes easier to control the Dragon’s Blood, the simplest understanding is that when you use its abilities in the future, you won’t need to recite spells; you can directly invoke its power. This way, it eliminates the time delay caused by spells."
