Douluo Dalu II—Chapter 149: Dragon King's Soul Bone
"The greatest opportunity?" Electrolux's voice echoed in Huo Yuhao's mind. He carefully examined the bodies of the Water and Fire King and the Fire Dragon King, feeling the immense power emanating from them. He said with some emotion, "Yes, this is indeed a tremendous opportunity. When they were alive, they were undoubtedly extremely powerful beings. The treasures left behind by such formidable beings after their death are invaluable."
"However, I don't know why they died here. Could it have been a fight between the two?" Electrolux showed great interest.
Perhaps because he had been working overtime to improve the level of the undead recently—striving to make them more intelligent and stronger on their own—his mood had become much better. For Electrolux, he had rekindled the joy of creating new things in this world, and he found himself more intrigued by the mysteries of the outside world than before.
"Forget it. I'll study how to break their bodies," Electrolux said as soon as he finished speaking. Instantly, one of Huo Yuhao's eyes turned gray, and a magic staff appeared in his hand. A gray light shot out from the top of the staff and struck the bodies of the Fire Dragon King and the Ice Dragon King.
In the next moment, several scales peeled off, revealing the glittering flesh and blood beneath the bodies of the Fire Dragon King and the Ice Dragon King.
Although these bodies belonged to God Kings, they had been extinct for many years and could not compare to true God King-level soul beasts.
Electrolux sighed. "Alright, now we can excavate them. If they were alive and in their prime, with my current strength, I might not be able to do such a thing. But given that they've been dead for so long, they still retain powerful residual energy. This makes their remains excellent material for forging a Bone Dragon."
Huo Yuhao thought that Electrolux was indeed an expert in undead craftsmanship; he could suggest such a thing.
However, the most urgent task now was to find the soul bones. So, he began to dig diligently. After a while, he finally uncovered the soul bones of the Fire Dragon King and the Water Dragon King, along with their dragon cores.
The soul bone given by the Fire Dragon King was a metacarpal bone, classified as an external soul bone. Huo Yuhao pondered: 'If I install this soul bone on my body in the future, could I gain a skill like the Fire Dragon King's Claw? This power was far stronger than the metacarpal bone of the Dark Gold Terror Claw Bear.'
The soul bone from the Water Dragon King was a skull. Huo Yuhao considered this choice quite good. In the original novel, Huo Yuhao used Qiu'er's head as a soul bone. As a time transmigrator, Huo Yuhao naturally wouldn't use Qiu'er's head soul bone, but this skull was still valuable.
"Yuhao, have you considered turning them into Bone Dragons?" Electrolux asked again. Despite being the Holy God of the Dead, upon seeing such a perfect dragon corpse, he couldn't help but consider casting some necromantic magic.
Huo Yuhao thought for a moment and declined. "Teacher, this place accelerates the growth of plant-type soul beasts tenfold. If we take away the dragon corpses, It'll be destroyed. I plan to plant some plants here in the future."
Everyone laughed at God King Tang. Everyone wants to be God King Tang. Well, when Tang San passes away, this place will become a secret site of the Spirit Pagoda. Moreover, with Tang San's strength, it's reasonable to assume that the bodies of the Ice and Fire Dragon Kings are beneath this place. If these are stolen and the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well is destroyed, Tang San, as the Law Enforcement God, would have a reason to descend into the mortal world to investigate.
Just like when Asura God's subordinate, the God of Killing, Hypnos, descended to the mortal world to capture Lieyan back to the God Realm and severely punish him—though this was not within the rules of the God realm, he did so privately without informing the divine council, which was technically a violation.
The reason for hunting Lieyan was partly due to Lieyan's identity, and partly because his god-level cultivation could threaten the world. After all, gods cannot interfere directly in mortal affairs.
If the bodies of the Ice and Fire Dragon Kings are excavated, there's a risk they could be exploited by others. A god-level powerhouse might even appear in the mortal world.
Thinking of this, Huo Yuhao shifted the topic. "But, teacher, there's a dragon soul here. How about you see if you can take the dragon soul away?"
The Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well contains the dragon souls. In later generations, the soul beasts in the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well summoned the dragon souls of the two dragon kings—their dragon souls are both semi-god level.
However, the current dragon souls are incomplete. They are more like remnants, formed with the help of many plant soul beasts in later generations.
"Dragon soul? Yes, there is one. But it's in an extremely incomplete state—more like a consciousness." Electrolux evaluated. "If they are near the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well, their strength should still be quite good. But if they are separated from the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well, their strength will decline significantly. Still, it shouldn't be a problem for them to maintain the level of Titled Douluo."
He continued, "In the future, I will transform the dragon soul and help them enhance their strength without relying on the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well, so they can become even stronger."
After speaking, Electrolux absorbed the dragon soul and stored it in the undead demi-plane. Huo Yuhao then hurried out of the water, collecting immortal herbs and various plant soul beasts.
The undead demi-plane isn't suitable for them, so their best storage method is a spatial soul guide—similar to the Wishful Hundred Treasure Purse used by Tang San in the original work, which can store living things.
After a while, Huo Yuhao, having gained a lot, left the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well.

Sun Moon Empire
Outside Mingdu, it was raining heavily.
Ye Guyi was fleeing. Her clothes were soaked with blood, and her angel wings trembled slightly.
She had been on the run for a long time. She had gained some understanding of those opposing the evil soul masters and aiding her. Most of them were members of the Ordinary Alliance.
Their purpose was simple: to save her and make her their ally. Since the Spirit Hall was destroyed by Tang San, the angel clan had fallen into decline.
In addition to being hunted by evil soul masters, only a few people in the world possessed holy angel martial souls. Every holy angel martial soul owner could restrain evil soul masters. As they grew stronger, they posed a serious threat to evil soul masters.
Therefore, many evil soul masters are hunting Ye Guyi. Many members of the Ordinary Alliance sacrificed themselves to protect her.
The Ordinary Alliance is one of the three major underground forces in Mingdu, backed by the great nobles of the Sun Moon Empire. Although they're a secret organization, many believe they serve the interests of the empire's noble class.
For Ye Guyi, they were a useful tool against evil soul masters. Naturally, they would fight for her. After all, there was competition between the Ordinary League and the Xishui League.
The Ordinary League knows that there are shadows of evil soul masters behind the Xishui League, but they are not afraid, because behind them stand the great nobles of the Sun-Moon Empire.
Generally speaking, in a world like the Douluo Continent, as long as the great nobles in the empire do not rebel, they can basically last for many generations, because the nobles have a The biggest feature is that they stick together. A single noble is nothing. When multiple nobles unite, their power is huge. Even the imperial power has to give some face to the united nobles.
After all, the Douluo Continent is still based on strength. The nobles are powerful and have been in the Sun-Moon Empire for many generations. They are deeply rooted and naturally respected.
However, this is because the Ordinary League does not know that the background of the Xishui League is the Holy Spirit Church, which barely has two Ultimate Douluos.
They only know that there are some evil soul masters behind the Xishui League, otherwise the Ordinary League would have fallen to their knees long ago.
The deterrent power of the Ultimate Douluo was immense. If a shameless Ultimate Douluo targeted them, assassinating relentlessly, no noble house could withstand it.
