Ye Feng stepped outside, where the Mountain Dragon King's massive skeletal remains still stood guard around the pit like the most loyal sentinel, protecting the Dragon God's legacy.
However, the moment Ye Feng appeared with the Three-Eyed Golden Lion, the enormous dragon bones suddenly stirred...
In the next instant, countless earthen-yellow rays of light slowly gathered from the dragon bones, coalescing into the phantom of a colossal dragon over a hundred meters long, which then prostrated itself before Ye Feng.
"Hmm? What's the meaning of this?"
Ye Feng was momentarily stunned, clearly taken aback and somewhat confused.
What was the Mountain Dragon King trying to convey?
The next moment, Ye Feng saw a translucent, illusory Soul Bone slowly emerge from within the Mountain Dragon King's remains, floating before him.
"Is this... a Soul Bone?" Ye Feng was surprised. He hadn't expected the Mountain Dragon King to willingly offer its Soul Bone to him.
Soul Bones weren't a necessity for Ye Feng, as he was already immensely powerful. Soul Bone Skills were hardly even a bonus for him—more like an insignificant embellishment.
As for the physical enhancements a Soul Bone could provide, they were negligible at best.
For others, absorbing a Soul Bone could significantly boost their physique—but that was because their base strength was lacking.
Ye Feng's current physical prowess allowed him to effortlessly kill a Titled Douluo with a single punch. The enhancement from an ordinary Soul Bone was practically meaningless to him and might even contaminate his body.
Despite this, Ye Feng didn't refuse the Mountain Dragon King's Soul Bone.
After all, it was still Dragon Bone—and moreover, the Soul Bone of the Mountain Dragon King itself.
However, due to the passage of time, the energy contained within this Soul Bone was only comparable to that of a 100,000 or 200,000-year Soul Bone.
Ye Feng slowly reached out and took the Soul Bone, immediately choosing to fuse with it.
Seeing this, the Mountain Dragon King finally rose, its entire Dragon Soul transforming into a surge of pure energy that shot straight into Ye Feng's body, merging with the Soul Bone and replenishing much of the power that had dissipated over time.
"Crack—crack—crack—"
The Soul Bone seemed to be a perfect match for Ye Feng, instantly assimilating into his body.
However, Ye Feng soon realized that he hadn't absorbed the Soul Bone—he had devoured it.
Yes, devoured!
The moment the Mountain Dragon King's Soul Bone entered his body, it was swallowed and digested by his own skeletal structure.
As Ye Feng assimilated the Soul Bone and the Mountain Dragon King's remnant soul, his Bloodline was further unsealed by another 3%, leaving only 62% still locked.
At the same time, the Mountain Dragon King's two Soul Bone Abilities were converted into Ye Feng's own Soul Skills, merging into his sixth Soul Ring.
Integrating them into the sixth Soul Ring had one major advantage—these Mountain Dragon King abilities instantly reached the level of an 800,000-year Soul Ring, their power skyrocketing by dozens of times!
Ye Feng checked the descriptions of the two Soul Skills:
[Myriad Mountains Suppressing Domain: Increases gravity within the Domain's range, up to 8,000 times.]
[Mountain God Barrier: Summons the phantom of a Mountain Dragon to form an extremely durable shield.]
...
"Control and defense—not bad."
Ye Feng reviewed the abilities and found them satisfactory—one for control, the other for defense.
The Mountain Dragon King's Martial Soul had always specialized in defense.
At the same time, the corresponding speed and agility would be greatly reduced—this thing was essentially a tank-type warrior.
High defense, high health, high damage.
A triple-threat powerhouse, terrifying indeed.
...
Ye Feng swept his Mental Strength across the area and found that very few Dragon Souls remained here.
Most of the Dragon Souls had merged into the Dragon God Soul, devoured entirely by Ye Feng and the Three-Eyed Golden Lion.
"A bountiful harvest. Time to leave."
Ye Feng took a deep breath, feeling inexplicably at ease.
With a flash, he arrived outside the barrier of the pocket dimension.
With the disappearance of the Dragon God Soul, this pocket dimension had lost its divine essence, and all remaining Dragon Souls were slowly dissipating.
The faint mist that once permeated the entire pocket dimension and the countless colorful clouds had completely vanished.
Looking around, broken Dragon Bones were scattered everywhere, giving the entire pocket dimension an inexplicably desolate appearance.
Now, it truly resembled the "Ten Thousand Dragon Graveyard."
"Since I've received your blessings, I'll grant you peace. And while I'm at it, let me test mine."
Ye Feng seemed to recall something, murmuring to himself.
In the next moment, six Soul Rings slowly emerged behind him—Black, Black, Black, Red, Red, Red!
Especially the sixth Soul Ring, which bore eight terrifying golden patterns, representing an Eight Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring!
With his current strength, Ye Feng could contend against the rules of this entire pocket dimension, allowing him to forcibly activate a Soul Skill—even if only for an instant, it was enough.
"Genesis Divine Domain!"
With a slight thought, Ye Feng's sixth Soul Ring flickered faintly.
In the next moment, an immense Domain erupted from him, expanding wildly in all directions.
As the "Genesis Divine Domain" activated, the surroundings transformed entirely into Ye Feng's own world, completely overwriting the pocket dimension's rules!
Within his own world, using Soul Skills naturally became far easier!
Immediately, Ye Feng's Domain began expanding at a frenzied pace!
One kilometer!
Two kilometers!
Ten kilometers!
...
Ye Feng's Soul Power was being consumed at a terrifying rate.
Finally, the Domain covered the entire pocket dimension, spanning a radius of over fifty kilometers!
"Half my Soul Power drained? Not bad." Ye Feng smiled faintly.
Though the cost seemed high, he possessed a Soul Core—and the most powerful one at that.
Within just a few breaths, his Soul Power was fully replenished.
As the Domain expanded, Ye Feng realized that within it, he was like a deity.
It seemed he could accomplish anything.
Of course, no rules could bind him…
After all, Ye Feng couldn't use the rules to elevate his power to that of a Genesis God, nor could he make himself invincible.
But as long as he rendered his opponents powerless, he would effectively be invincible.
"Rest in peace, buried world."
With a mere thought, his words became law!
The next moment—
"Boom—"
The ground suddenly shook violently, the surrounding cliffs splitting apart like crumbling biscuits as mountains collapsed into piles of rubble.
Fist-sized stones rained down like hail, only to be swallowed by the churning mud the moment they touched the ground.
The entire landscape seemed to have its bones pulled out, instantly dissolving into a bubbling sea of sludge.
The once-solid ground now surged like turbulent waves.
As the pocket dimension quaked, all exposed Dragon Bones slowly sank into the earth.
In mere moments, the entire world flattened into an even plain.
The massive crater where the Dragon God had once resided was now filled with flowing mud.
The once exposed Dragon Bones were now completely buried beneath the earth.
Not just the Dragon Bones, but all plants and objects on the ground had met the same fate.
The entire world had transformed into an ocean of soil, with waves of mud surging as the world trembled.
"Truly worthy of being called a Divine Skill~"
Ye Feng looked upon his handiwork with immense satisfaction.
Moreover, the consumption wasn't excessive - altering the rules just once only cost him 70% of his Soul Power, which would fully replenish in just a few breaths. The recovery time was roughly equivalent to this skill's cooldown period.
Of course, this was mainly because the Domain's coverage area this time was exceptionally large.
In normal combat situations, there would be no need to cover such a vast area, which would naturally greatly reduce the consumption.
