—------------------—
The remaining three soul skills are Scale Gaze, which can perceive the flow of time in all things, such as the enemy’s soul power circulation, attack trajectory, and the time nodes of one’s own state, predict the enemy’s actions within 5 seconds , and at the same time see through time afterimages, detect invisibility, and spatial teleportation skills.
Dragon Domain Time Flow unfolds a time domain where the flow of time is controlled by Jiang Bai. He can accelerate his own time, such as doubling his attack speed, movement speed, and soul power circulation, while slowing down the time of his enemies. A"time vortex"can be formed at the center of the domain , pulling enemies and slowly freezing their time.
Reincarnation allows you to unleash the power of time’s origin, returning to your peak state. It can also rewind time by 5 seconds for a designated target , reversing their attack, movement, or returning them to their position 5 seconds prior.
The two divine-level soul bones not only granted him control over the two top-tier attributes of time and space, but also brought a terrifying boost to his mental power.
Jiang Bai felt refreshed and his mind was clearer and sharper than ever before. The breadth and depth of his spiritual sea had expanded at least three times. The enormous spiritual power that he used to need to concentrate to mobilize could now be controlled with a mere thought.
What surprised him even more was the change in his soul power.
Although he has not yet absorbed his eighth soul ring and cannot break through the formal bottleneck of level 80 , the immense energy contained in the two divine soul bones has already pushed his soul power foundation to a terrifying level.
At this moment, the total amount of soul power in his body is probably no less than that of an ordinary level 88 Soul Douluo! It’s just that because he lacks the"gate"of the eighth soul ring , this soul power cannot be fully converted into a level.
"In just a few days, I’ve jumped from level 70 to near level 80..."Jiang Bai felt the surging power within him, a mixture of excitement and unease in his heart."Too rapid an advancement can easily destabilize my foundation. I must quickly familiarize myself with these new powers."
He stood up, stretched his limbs, and his bones made a crisp popping sound.
Their gaze turned to the depths of the Lake of Life , the place where the Emperor of Heaven resided.
Di Tian is currently the most suitable sparring partner; he is strong enough and knows how to control his attacks.
As for the other ferocious beasts... Xiong Jun was too ruthless, the Ten Thousand Demon King was elusive, and the Crimson King still looked at him with resentment, none of them were quite right.
For the next month, Di Tian became Jiang Bai’s"sparring partner".
Every day from dawn till dusk, the roar of dragons and the rumble of space tearing apart echo above the Lake of Life. Jiang Bai sparred with Di Tian in various ways.
In the first few days, without the dragon’s possession, Jiang Bai was completely suppressed by Di Tian. Although his physique was strong, his use of time and space power was clumsy. Often, before he could release his soul skills, Di Tian would interrupt him with absolute power and experience.
However, as time went by, under the guidance of the two Dragon Kings and through practical experience, Jiang Bai’s mastery of the power of spacetime improved rapidly.
Spatial teleportation initially only allowed for movement of a few meters and required a brief period of charging.
Jiang Bai can now skillfully perform short-distance spatial teleportation, with a maximum distance of 100 meters.
Although he cannot tear open long-distance spatial channels at will like Di Tian, his soul power is insufficient to support the construction of stable channels. Forcing an attempt may cause the channels to collapse, exiling him to an unknown space.
Di Tian initially treated it casually, but gradually had to take it seriously. Especially when Jiang Bai activated"Universal Dragon Realm"and"Dragon Domain Time Flow"at the same time, the spatial-temporal chaos caused by the superposition of the two domains was even troublesome for Di Tian.
But even Di Tian was secretly alarmed by this rate of growth.
"This kid... his talent for the power of spacetime is simply born for these two laws."After a sparring session, Di Tian watched Jiang Bai’s departing figure and sighed inwardly.
On this day, Jiang Bai once again came to Di Tian’s residence.
Di Tian raised an eyebrow:"What? Continuing today?"
Jiang Bai waved his hand and smiled,"Not today. I want to... break through to level 80."
Di Tian’s lips twitched slightly:"So...?"
" So ..." Jiang Bai blinked, making a " you know " gesture , " Could you help me arrange something? I need a suitable soul beast. "
"..."
Di Tian sighed.
He knew this day would come!
However, considering that he carries the hopes of the dragon race, I’ll help him.
"Fine,"Di Tian said irritably."What kind of soul beast do you want? Let me make this clear: forget about true dragons over 100,000 years old. Besides them, there are only two other ones left in the Star Dou Great Forest."
Jiang Bai had planned this all along.
Now, all six true dragons under his command are offensive types, and their attack methods are already overflowing. In addition, he himself has the Time-Space Dual Soul Bone, the Mountain Dragon King Dual Soul Bone, and the Ice-Fire Dragon Claw External Soul Bone, so he lacks nothing in attack, defense, and control.
he needs now is team support capabilities.
"How about Rainbow Dragon?"Jiang Bai stated his goal.
Di Tian was slightly surprised.
Rainbow Dragons are a special species among dragons.
They have almost no powerful physical combat ability, nor do they possess terrifying innate soul skills, but they have the strongest magical support ability among the dragon race.
The seven-colored rainbow light, with its red, orange, yellow, green, cyan, blue, and purple rays, corresponds to seven powerful auxiliary effects: strength enhancement, speed enhancement, defense enhancement, soul power recovery, injury healing, attribute resistance, and status purification.
It can be said that the Rainbow Dragon is one of the pinnacle existences of support-type soul beasts.
"How many years do you want?"Di Tian asked.
" The higher the better, of course, " Jiang Bai said with a frank laugh.
Di Tian glared at him, but finally nodded:"Alright, wait here."
After saying that, he tore open the space and left.
An hour later, the spatial rift reopened.
Di Tian stepped out, followed by a magnificent dragon beast that was over twenty meters long.
It’s the Rainbow Dragon!
A pair of broad wings extend from the back to the wingtips, displaying a perfect rainbow gradient.
red, orange, yellow, green, cyan, blue, and purple—are crystal clear, shimmering with a dreamlike luster under the sunlight. The dragon’s body is long and elegant, its scales as fine as gemstones, giving it an overall noble and mysterious aura.
Di Tiandao said,"This rainbow dragon has 90,000 years of cultivation, making it the most powerful in the rainbow dragon clan. I had to use a lot of persuasion to convince her to sacrifice herself willingly... You got off easy."
Jiang Bai looked at the Rainbow Dragon, who was also scrutinizing him. In its seven-colored, glassy dragon eyes, there was curiosity, scrutiny, and a hint of relief.
With 90,000 years of cultivation, she was approaching the 100,000-year Heavenly Tribulation, but she knew her chances of surviving it were slim. Rather than being annihilated in the Heavenly Tribulation, she decided to entrust her power to someone worthy of her trust.
Jiang Bai stepped forward and said sincerely ,"You are the most beautiful dragon I have ever seen. Would you like to become my partner and witness a wider world together?"
A look of satisfaction flashed in the Rainbow Dragon’s eyes.
Not only because of the praise, but also because she could sense the pure dragon aura and vast potential emanating from Jiang Bai. She nodded gently and let out a clear dragon roar.
The next moment, the Rainbow Dragon spread its wings, and seven-colored rainbow light soared into the sky! Her enormous body began to ethereal, turning into countless seven-colored light spots that surged towards Jiang Bai like a reversed Milky Way.
A soul ring, black with a hint of red , condensed in the air and slowly descended.
Jiang Bai sat down cross-legged, and the Nine-Treasured Glazed Pagoda appeared behind him.
The eighth spirit ring, fusion begins.
He was completely enveloped by a rainbow of light, and a rainbow bridge seemed to rise on the shore of the Lake of Life, connecting the earth and the sky.
