136: New subordinate lord, treasure black ring

Yang Qianhun remained silent, his gaze fixed on them.

“He…”

Upon hearing this, the Nine Netherworld Dragon’s earlier excitement subsided, and he looked at Yang Qianhun with confusion.

“Yes, my time is running out. I’ll make this quick.”

The Demon King's remnant soul finished speaking and looked at the Nine Netherworld Dragon, a flicker of guilt and affection in his eyes. He said, “Child, only he can completely unseal the Five Elements Seal on your body, and you will also need his help when you enter the Nine Nether Underworld Sea in the future. I know you have many questions, but once you follow him, you will naturally learn everything.”

When the Demon King's remnant soul finished speaking, the Nine Netherworld Dragon looked at Yang Qianhun with a complex expression, surprisingly not asking any more questions.

Instead, he stared at Yang Qianhun in silence.

“Five Elements Seal? No wonder I felt a very familiar power within him.”

Upon hearing this, Yang Qianhun’s expression remained calm, and he couldn't help but think to himself.

“Boy, you also need his help. In the future, you will inevitably enter the Nine Nether Underworld Sea, and without his guidance, you will never find it.”

The Demon King's remnant soul said calmly.

“Are you referring to the Black Tortoise’s seal?”

Yang Qianhun retorted.

“Not just the Black Tortoise, but also the Five Elements Bloodline within you. To fully unleash the power of the Five Elements Bloodline, the Nine Nether Underworld Sea is a place you must go.”

“Five Elements Bloodline? How much do you really know?”

“What I know is not about your affairs, but about the Five Elements Bloodline. However, it’s not much; my understanding is limited. But you need to know, I will not be your enemy; otherwise, I wouldn't entrust my child to you.”

“Did you arrange all of this for the dungeon?”

“Of course not, but even if I didn’t appear, he would eventually join you. This cannot be changed.”

After speaking, the Demon King's remnant soul looked at the Nine Netherworld Dragon, his words filled with comfort and concern, saying, “Child, he has always been the one you were waiting for. Only he can help you get revenge, and only he can help you return to the Nine Nether Underworld Sea.”

Upon hearing the Demon King's remnant soul’s words, the Nine Netherworld Dragon’s entire body trembled slightly, his expression momentarily stiffening.

“As long as I can slaughter those beasts, that’s enough. My mother is no longer here, so my home is naturally gone too.”

After speaking, she actually laughed, a somewhat frantic laugh.

“The way to leave here is to become his subordinate lord. You see…”

The Demon King's remnant soul continued to speak to the Nine Netherworld Dragon, his voice already showing some hesitation and worry as he spoke the latter part.

He was afraid that, given the Nine Netherworld Dragon's nature, he would be unwilling to become Yang Qianhun's subordinate lord.

“Hey, human, can you really help me?”

The Nine Netherworld Dragon’s expression didn't change; instead, he directly asked Yang Qianhun.

“When you become my subordinate lord, your affairs will be my affairs.”

Yang Qianhun replied indifferently; he didn't mind taking on another subordinate.

Seeing Yang Qianhun’s confident expression, the Nine Netherworld Dragon directly said, “I, the Nine Netherworld Dragon, swear to the Heavenly Dao that I am willing to become Yang Qianhun’s subordinate lord. I will be loyal my entire life and never betray him. I am willing to dedicate everything I have, even if it means going through fire and water.”

As soon as his voice fell, a voice simultaneously echoed in both their minds.

[Heavenly Dao oath established. The Nine Netherworld Dragon has become Yang Qianhun’s subordinate lord. Yang Qianhun holds the power of life and death over the Nine Netherworld Dragon, can know everything about him at any time, and can erase him at any time.]

“From now on, I’m entrusting my child to you. Since you’ve taken him as a subordinate lord, you can still complete the dungeon quest even if I disappear.”

The Demon King's remnant soul said to Yang Qianhun.

He then raised his left hand, pointing to the high platform, and continued, “I left something there; I hope it can be of some help to you.”

Finally, he turned to the Nine Netherworld Dragon and said, “Little Nether, goodbye.”

As soon as his voice fell, the Demon King's remnant soul’s body gradually faded, became transparent, until he disappeared.

The Nine Netherworld Dragon watched the Demon King's remnant soul disappear, his eyes surprisingly moist. He slowly closed his eyes and said to Yang Qianhun, “Your current strength is still too weak; it’s not enough to unseal the seal within me. I need to enter a dormant state to recover from old injuries and regain my strength. Unless absolutely necessary, try not to wake me. Also, lend me your right arm.”

As he finished speaking, the Nine Netherworld Dragon’s massive body transformed into a black ball of light and flew directly towards Yang Qianhun.

It directly rushed towards his right arm, merging into it and disappearing.

And after the black light receded, a small dragon head pattern appeared on Yang Qianhun’s right arm.

“As you wish.”

Yang Qianhun could feel the Nine Netherworld Dragon residing in his right arm, his expression remaining calm.

Because if he wished, he could expel her at any time.

He turned his head to look at the high platform in the palace, but at this moment, the high platform had already vanished without a trace.

Only a black ring remained suspended above the ground, emitting a faint, eerie glow.

Yang Qianhun directly used Telekinetic Pickup.

The next second, the black ring disappeared into thin air and appeared in his hand.

[Name: Black Ring]

[Type: Item]

[Quality: Legendary]

[Effect: Can store any form of power (Note: Two types of stored power cannot exist simultaneously, otherwise the Black Ring will be damaged)]

[Description: This is a magic treasure refined by an extraterrestrial strong individual. It can store one's own power within the Black Ring. In case of any situation, the stored power can be retrieved at any time to replenish oneself, convenient and fast.]

When Yang Qianhun held the Black Ring in his hand, he felt a powerful and domineering force contained within it.

[Demon King's Message: The demonic power within the Black Ring can be used three times. Remember, do your best not to use it unless absolutely necessary.]

“So, before I use up the Demon King's demonic power, the Black Ring cannot store my own spiritual power.”

Yang Qianhun muttered to himself after hearing the Demon King's message.

However, even if he couldn't store his own spiritual power,

being able to borrow the Demon King's power at critical moments was even more important than storing spiritual power.

Yang Qianhun then put the Black Ring into his spatial bag.

At the same time, the sky outside also underwent some changes.

The demonic energy shrouding the entire forest perimeter gradually faded until it disappeared.

And the demonic beasts within the forest had also vanished without a trace, returning to a peaceful state.

Qin Jiuxiao, Luo Cheng, Yuchi Gong, and the others outside the palace also noticed this change.

Qin Jiuxiao looked up, his face first showing confusion, then breaking into a wide smile, saying, “It seems the boss has taken down the boss in the palace; all the demonic energy has disappeared.”

The next second, Qin Jiuxiao’s expression froze for a moment, then filled with wild joy: “Holy cow, is the boss that fierce? He can even kill a Spirit King Level boss? This… this is simply defying the heavens! I didn't expect the Heavenly Dao to be so generous and award so many good things.”

The long-awaited voice of the Heavenly Dao resounded in everyone’s minds, echoing continuously.
