Gu Yuena gazed at the figure of the man inside the arena, radiating divine splendor.
Her beautiful eyes were somewhat dazed.
There was a time when the man before her was weak, so insignificant as to not even be worth a mention.
Never did she expect that his power would have ascended to such heights now.
Gu Yuena sighed incessantly.
Once, the man had said he would help her against the pressure from the Divine Realm, and she had hardly believed him, after all, the Divine Realm was an enormous entity that even she despaired of.
Now it seems, the man wasn't just boasting.
Not only did he truly set forth to do so, but it also seems he truly might have a chance to succeed.
At this moment, for the first time in her life, the proud Silver Dragon King Gu Yuena felt a sense of admiration rising in her heart.
"Swoosh swoosh!"
Clad in the Eight-Colored Dragon King's Armor, Luo Yu's presence was earth-shatteringly mighty, with circles of magnificent Soul Rings appearing beneath his feet.
Red-gold, blue-gold, black-gold, white-gold, cyan-gold, brown-gold, earth-gold, silver-gold.
The grand configuration of Soul Rings left even the Ice and Snow Empresses speechless, and even Gu Yuena, who had seen it several times, was trembling in her soul.
Such an arrangement of Soul Rings had only ever belonged to Luo Yu through the ages.
Besides him, who else could afford to have Soul Rings made from the essence of the Dragon King?
And with such a horrifying array of Soul Rings, there would be no other in the future either, for the highest Soul Beasts of the nine great Dragon Kings had all become Luo Yu's Soul Rings. No one else, no matter how capable, could hope to acquire them any longer.
Gu Yuena's heart began to palpitate in waves.
She became excited as well.
The man's prowess was not just in his mighty Soul Rings; this set of Dragon King's Armor might even become the greatest Divine Armament seen throughout history.
After all, the Divine Armament of Deities usually consisted of six soul bones, and they were generally in the range of tens of thousands of years old.
As for Luo Yu, he had eight pieces now, and any single one of them would surpass a million years. Compared to his Divine Armament, others were simply trash.
Gu Yuena took a deep breath.
Just thinking about it was terrifying, a little too frightening.
The potential contained within the man's Dragon King's Armor had not yet been fully developed, after all, other deities' Divine Armaments were also slowly tempered and improved over time.
If it were fully developed, it would be unimaginably terrifying.
Gu Yuena couldn't help but roll her eyes.
Lucky for her, it was her man who possessed such fortune. If it were someone else with such opportunity, she feared she would be so envious that she would resort to murder for the treasure.
"Roar!"
A resonant dragon chant came from within Luo Yu, as a nine-colored dragon shadow flew out, which was indeed the Dragon God Martial Soul.
The already strong Dragon God Martial Soul also seemed to be changing.
The scales became even more dazzling, and its form was slowly evolving.
Gu Yuena's pupils shrank.
"How can the Dragon God Martial Soul, already the strongest among beast Martial Souls, evolve further?"
"Impossible, how can this be possible."
But she had a strong sense that her perception could not be wrong. The man's Martial Soul was definitely ascending to a higher level.
At that moment, Luo Yu suddenly retracted his Martial Soul, and his Dragon King's Armor also dispersed in an instant.
His aura returned to normal.
"Eh!"
Gu Yuena became anxious.
She was curious about how the transformation of the man's Martial Soul was happening, but he had retracted it.
"You should release your Martial Soul again."
Luo Yu shrugged his shoulders.
"Forget it."
"Forget it?"
Gu Yuena glared, "How can we just forget it, I want to see more."
"Next time, definitely next time," Luo Yu said with a smile.
"Stingy, what's there not to see?" Gu Yuena complained petulantly.
Luo Yu pointed to the sky.
"Let's focus on killing Divine Envoys and slaying the Rakshasa God first. Chances are, the Divine Realm has already sent someone to investigate Soul Land, making too much of a show of my Martial Soul isn't good."
Gu Yuena pouted.
"With my concealment formation protecting us, what are you afraid of?"
"It's better to be cautious."
After Luo Yu cautiously replied, he touched his chest.
"My Martial Soul indeed has undergone some subtle changes after absorbing the origin of the Eight Great Dragon Kings, it's just not very obvious right now."
"But I can feel that it is developing towards a higher level."
Gu Yuena asked anxiously, "Are you sure?"
Luo Yu waved his hand.
"Don't worry, could I possibly sense this wrong?"
"Our Dragon God Martial Soul is definitely evolving upwards. It can't possibly turn into a pig, haha."
"Pah."
Gu Yuena rolled her eyes, saying irritably:
"A Dragon-class Martial Soul can't possibly mutate into a pig. Even joking should be somewhat credible."
Luo Yu raised his eyebrows.
"Don't say that, it's actually possible, haha."
Gu Yuena shook her head, enunciating each word with finality:
"Im, pos, si, ble!!"
Luo Yu shrugged nonchalantly.
"Don't believe it if you don't want to."
Gu Yuena didn't agree or disagree, nor said anything.
Her beautiful eyes emitted strong spiritual fluctuations, and with an outstretched hand, she erased the surrounding aura related to the Dragon Clan.
The Earth Dragon King's withered remains were also taken by her and returned to the Dragon Clan's Graveyard.
After doing all this, she removed the formation.
Gazing at Luo Yu.
That serious look made Luo Yu feel uneasy, thinking, "She's not about to start settling accounts again, is she?"
He couldn't afford that.
"What... what are you looking at?"
Gu Yuena's red lips parted as she said:
"Luo Yu, I'm leaving."
"Leaving?"
"Where to?"
Having Gu Yuena around made Luo Yu uneasy, but suddenly hearing that she intended to leave stirred some reluctance within him.
And it couldn't be that she was driven away by his behavior.
Realizing the man's nervousness, Gu Yuena felt a sense of comfort in her heart.
She said with an exasperated tone:
"What, shouldn't you be eager for me to leave? And now you're having a hard time letting go?"
Luo Yu wasn't in the mood for jokes and asked with concern:
"You're in a rush to leave, could it be that you've run into some trouble?"
"I'm strong enough to stand on my own now. If there's anything, you must tell me."
Gu Yuena saw the man's concern and felt a warm current in her heart.
For tens of thousands of years, her heart had been lonely because she had to shoulder everything herself.
She bore the Dragon Clan's genocide.
She bore the revitalization of the Soul Beast Clan.
She also bore the pressure of being hunted by the Deities.
Nobody could share her burden, nor were they capable of doing so.
No one knew how she had suffered throughout all these years, but after meeting Luo Yu, meeting this man,
beneath her strong and cold exterior, her parched and wandering heart gradually warmed up, as if she had found a home.
Finally... finally, there was someone who said he would help share my burdens.
A faint sigh passed through Gu Yuena's heart.
Is this what it feels like to rely on someone else? It seems... not bad at all.
"Don't worry, what could happen to me?" Gu Yuena thought to herself, but she sounded indifferent.
Luo Yu stared at her intently.
"You must tell me if something's up, don't hide it from me."
"Are you scolding me?" Gu Yuena's purple eyes narrowed, showing the majesty of the Dragon King.
However, Luo Yu now stood tall and unyielding, his starry eyes shining brightly, not backing down.
After staring for a long time.
Gu Yuena gave in, her voice softening by several degrees.
"Alright, if there's something, I'll definitely tell you."
Luo Yu nodded in satisfaction.
