86: Soul-Stealing Abyss, Azure Dragon Mutates

Qiangu Zhangting had heard Qiangu Dongfeng mention that the soul seizing plaque in his hand was said to be a Legacy from a true Divinity, the god of sin, Medusa.

Therefore, the soul seizing plaque was a true Divine Artifact, and furthermore, the Qiangu Family's trump card treasure!

However, every time the soul seizing plaque was used, countless sacrifices had to be offered to maintain the existence of that wisp of the god of sin's remnant Soul hidden within it.

To ensure that this soul seizing plaque could be used at critical moments, the Qiangu Family did not know how many Spirit Beasts had been killed for its sake.

It could be said that once the soul seizing plaque appeared, the opponent would undoubtedly die, and perhaps even face Soul Flying Away and Spirit Scattering!

However, over these many years, the number of times the Qiangu Family had used it had become fewer and fewer; unless it was an absolute last resort, the Old Ancestor of the Qiangu Family would never consider using it.

With the soul seizing plaque in hand, even when facing the number one person on the continent, Qiangu Dongfeng felt no fear at all!

Legend had it that the god of sin was a genuine Tier 3 Divinity. The concept of Divinity need not be mentioned; for tens of thousands of years on the Douluo Continent, those who had achieved Ascension to become gods were few and far between. As for those with detailed records, even if only a remnant Soul remained, it was absolutely not something a human Spirit Master could contend with!

Of course, such a terrifying Divine Artifact could only target one person. Although Qiangu Zhangting also very much wanted to deal with Shen Guhong as well, he still had to provide an explanation to Qiangu Dongfeng, so he naturally aimed it at Shen Guyan.

At this moment, Shen Guyan only felt that his Soul was slowly becoming rigid, and his entire sea of consciousness seemed to be drying up and withering.

Whether it was his body or his Soul, he felt as if he were being petrified at this moment.

This feeling was like... a collapse from the inside out, a sensation of being on the verge of collapse!

It was also like falling into a swamp; no matter how he struggled, he could not break free.

"Young Master!" Shen Guhong barely managed to recover his senses, and at this moment, he discovered with horror that changes had already appeared on Shen Guyan, who was in his arms; his face and limbs had all begun to petrify.

Seeing that Shen Guyan was about to completely turn into a stone statue, Shen Guhong, anxious and burning with impatience, carried him away rapidly, only hoping that the range of that thing's influence had a limit.

He, a dignified Spirit Douluo expert, had felt like dying just from one glance; how much more so for the lowly-cultivated Shen Guyan?

"Young Master, hold on!" Shen Guhong's eyes turned red, and without hesitation, he burned his own lifespan, holding Shen Guyan as he accelerated his escape.

Shen Guyan was truly in too much pain right now, so much so that he wanted to scream, but he couldn't make a sound.

He had finally managed to evade the pursuit of the Vicious Beast, and had finally managed to escape from the Spirit Pagoda Headquarters, yet he never expected to fall here.

He was unwilling, so unwilling...

Just at this moment, something within his sea of consciousness seemed to have been triggered. The next instant, a dragon roar suddenly rang out, and that Azure Dragon, which had been silent until now, broke through the surface of the sea and soared into the air.

That was... the Azure Dragon?

At the same time, above his sea of consciousness, that illusory figure also descended, and she kept roaring at the Azure Dragon above the clouds—

"Poseidon... Poseidon!"

Scenes quietly emerged around her, and one could vaguely see a blue-gold figure holding a golden trident appearing in these scenes.

Visualization of thoughts? Shen Guyan couldn't help but be stunned.

One could see that a woman with a great figure lived in a place where the other side of the ocean met the land of night; this must be the true form of this illusory figure.

The woman had always lived a carefree life, until that man wearing blue-gold armor came before her—

In a certain temple, the man forced the woman to do unspeakable things...

This somewhat familiar story... Shen Guyan always felt he had heard it somewhere before...

That's right, in the era Shen Guyan once belonged to, missionaries from the West would occasionally visit the Central Plains, and the documents they brought contained content about this story.

She was... the Snake Woman, Medusa?

Shen Guyan could no longer use the word shock to describe his state at this moment; he never imagined that on this distant continent, the protagonist of this story would actually exist.

In Western art, Medusa stuck out her tongue, bared her teeth, had venomous snakes growing on her head, and had a ferocious appearance. This style had the effect of warding off evil, and when painted on a shield, it could even be used to intimidate enemies.

Later, the man who refused to take responsibility after pulling up his pants, under the strong demand of a certain goddess, took action and turned Medusa into the appearance people knew from myths.

After doing all this, he even executed Medusa with just a light sentence: "The Divine Power of sin should not remain in the human world."

Many years later, through the intentional actions of some people, a wisp of Medusa's remnant Soul was imprisoned in that palm-sized iron plaque, and finally, after changing hands several times, it fell into the hands of the Qiangu Family.

Whenever the Qiangu Family encountered a major crisis, they would bring out this soul seizing plaque; this was also one of the reliances that allowed the Qiangu Family to firmly sit in their current position.

Shen Guyan looked at the two behemoths confronting each other in his sea of consciousness and for a moment did not know what to do.

Could the Sacred Beast, the Azure Dragon, really deal with Medusa, one of the three Gorgon sisters?

Ever since Shen Guyan knew that his azure dragon mask Spirit possessed Azure Dragon Aura, he had never seen any signs of it suppressing dragon-type or snake-type Spirits.

Click, click...

As the pupils of Medusa's illusory figure gradually deepened, Shen Guyan could see the Azure Dragon coiled in his sea of consciousness petrifying at a speed visible to the naked eye.

No way... was this primordial Bloodline shared by the myriad Dragon Clan so vulnerable?

Whether it was the Azure Dragon or his own mental Incarnation, in the face of Medusa's power, they had no ability to resist at all.

It's over... This was the last thought in Shen Guyan's mind.

Qiangu Zhangting, Qiangu Dongfeng... the Qiangu Family!

Shen Guyan's malice rose from the bottom of his heart; if you won't let me have a good time, don't even think about having one yourselves!

He couldn't wait to reveal his final trump card—Creation Reincarnation! A table-flipping ability in the truest sense!

To think that he, Gongzi Yu, with a lifetime of fame, was forced to the point of flipping the table twice in a row on this otherworldly continent.

It could only be said that the Cultivation system of this continent limited him far too much; with his Soul Power Rank not high enough, he couldn't even Cultivate the ultimate techniques in the Great Sorrow Scripture to the next Realm.

However, just as Shen Guyan was preparing to activate this civilization-restarting ability, the Azure Dragon, which had been petrified for the most part, finally moved.

What could be seen was that the massive dragon body, which had originally emitted a faint cyan glow, trembled slightly, and in its place, streaks of equally Soul-stirring red light penetrated the gray, petrified skin and scattered throughout this sea of consciousness.

The Sacred Beast, the Azure Dragon, as the concrete existence of the primordial ancestor of the Dragon Clan, also meant that it possessed infinite possibilities.

For instance, the legendary Dragon God was a generation of Prodigy who had once led the Dragon Clan to its Peak.

Influenced by the evil Divine Power of Medusa, the Azure Dragon within Shen Guyan's body mutated for the first time—
