Primordial 'Dual Cultivator' Dragon With System

As soon as they entered the place, several vengeful ghosts immediately surrounded them, frightening Tai Tianmei to the point where she trembled and hugged Ling Yun’s arm tightly. ”G...ghosts...”

’This woman! She was so frightened by these ghosts!’ Ling Yun hurriedly released his devil soul, and it immediately attacked and absorbed them. He also used his light element to protect Tai Tianmei, which relieved her. ”Have you never seen ghosts before?”

”No.” Tai Tianmei shook her head. ”There are no ghosts in the other areas, and they are gathered in this place.”

Ling Yun nodded in understanding. ”Actually, you will encounter countless ghosts once you leave this domain, and most of them are no less powerful than the ones here. Even so, they are still not as strong as living creatures, and they are nutrition for my devil soul.”

”Huh?” Tai Tianmei immediately looked at Ling Yun’s devil soul, which was moving swiftly after those ghosts and swallowing them. ”How can you have a devil soul? Does that mean you are a devil? According to my ancestors’ stories, the devil race is far more terrifying and cruel than the demon race.”

”Haha! Do I look like a devil to you?” Tai Tianmei shook her head at Ling Yun. ”Actually, I’m an ordinary human, and I didn’t have a devil soul before. One of my wives was exposed to devil energy due to the actions of a devil in the lower realms, and I absorbed it from her body to heal her. Unexpectedly, that devil energy turned into a devil core when I broke through to the Core Realm, and it became a devil soul when I broke through to the Soul Realm. It often controlled me back then, and I almost fell into the devil’s path because of it.”

”Oh.” Tai Tianmei seriously observed Ling Yun’s devil soul. ”What about now? Does your devil soul still influence you often?”

Ling Yun smiled and asked his devil soul to return to him. ”Look at this soul! Although it still looks like the devil, its aura is barely noticeable. One of my wives is the Life Goddess, Sheng Ming, and her soul resides within my soul space. She helped me purify its devil aura, and its aura will disappear completely soon, so it won’t affect me anymore.”

”Are you really married to the Life Goddess?” Tai Tianmei asked in disbelief. ”Even though my ancestors hated the other immortals, they never hated her. They said her beauty was matchless, and her character was much gentler. Most importantly, she was less selfish than the others, and she often helped all races in the past.”

After ordering his devil soul to hunt those ghosts again, Ling Yun immediately touched Tai Tianmei’s forehead and shared Sheng Ming’s image with her, which surprised and fascinated her. ”Ming’er is as beautiful as your ancestors described, right?”

”Yes!” Tai Tianmei nodded her head repeatedly. ”The Life Goddess’s beauty lives up to her title! I have never met a woman as beautiful as her before, and no woman in my race can match her beauty. How can you win her heart? It’s not that I’m looking down on you, but your cultivation is still too far from her level, and those immortals have also been in seclusion for a long time, especially after the massacre in the past.”

”Him.” After Ling Yun pointed at him, Tai Tianmei looked at Long Hun, who was walking leisurely in front of them. ”He tricked Sheng Mei into sending a bit of her soul into my soul space, but she didn’t realize that he had prepared a trap for her there. His trap forced her soul to merge with mine, and I was no less lustful than him. Therefore, I did something to her, and we’ve been together ever since.”

”Oh.” Tai Tianmei nodded in understanding.

*Howl... Howl...*

The loud howl forced Tai Tianmei to hide behind Ling Yun, who immediately summoned the Chaos Dragon Broadsword. ”Hmm? Are we close yet, old dragon?”

”Not yet.” Long Hun shook his head and pointed ahead. ”That thing is right in the center of this place, and it seems to be angry because your devil soul devoured those vengeful ghosts.”

”Haha.” Ling Yun chuckled in response. ”Isn’t that good? If that thing is truly angry, I’ll let my devil soul devour it.”

Long Hun let out a soft sigh and turned to him. ”Kid, that thing is an amalgamation of the countless souls that were slaughtered by Jian Xieshen in the past, remember? Their grudges and resentment gathered into one, forming that thing. If your devil soul absorbs it all at once, its devil nature will return and become even stronger. If that happens, you know the risks, right?”

”Sigh.” Ling Yun sighed heavily. ”If that happens, my devil soul will influence me, and I will most likely fall into the devil path.”

Long Hun nodded at him. ”Therefore, you can’t absorb that thing directly, and you have to separate it into many parts. After that, you have to purify and absorb them one by one so that your devil soul’s evil nature won’t return, and it will become much stronger after that. However, I don’t recommend you focus on your devil soul; instead, you should use your other souls to absorb them, and they will be completely balanced. Since your wood soul is the weakest among your other souls, you should focus on it for now. Once it has reached the level of your other souls, you can divide them equally among all your souls.”

”Yes.” Ling Yun nodded in understanding. ”Let’s go there now! I want to leave this place and go back outside as quickly as possible.”

During his journey to the central area, Ling Yun continued to allow his devil soul to absorb the vengeful ghosts. However, he also released his other souls, and his light soul worked hard to purify them. With the support of Sheng Ming’s soul in his soul space, his light soul could purify them quite easily, especially those who were still weak.

Unlike those powerful ghosts, they were forced to stop repeatedly because Ling Yun’s light soul needed time to purify them. To make things easier, he confined the vengeful ghosts in the void prison, allowing his light soul to purify them simultaneously. Every time his light soul succeeded in purifying them, he immediately fed them to his wood soul, especially since it was the weakest among all his souls.

The deeper they went, the stronger those vengeful ghosts became, and their numbers also increased. They had not yet reached the center, despite it already being nighttime. Since Tai Tianmei became increasingly afraid of those ghosts at night, Ling Yun decided to stop and rest.

Ling Yun created void walls around them, preventing the vengeful ghosts from getting close. Even though they were at rest, his light soul continued to work to purify them, but he stopped his devil soul from absorbing them, especially since it had already absorbed too many of them since they entered the place.

”Hey! I’ll go check out the end of this place, and you can have some fun with this woman first.” Before Ling Yun could stop him, Long Hun had already disappeared from their sight.

Ling Yun then turned to Tai Tianmei, who was trembling in her embrace. Her frightened expression made him feel bad for her, and she caused their journey to be much slower than they had anticipated.

Despite this, Ling Yun didn’t blame Tai Tianmei, especially since everyone has their own fears. Moreover, he himself was imperfect, and he had some fears in his heart. ”Tianmei, do you know about the place at the end of this place?”

”Yes.” Tai Tianmei nodded at him. ”According to the elders, that place is the Titanblood Ascension Altar. Back then, Ancestor Tan tried to go there because that place was very important to our race, but that thing blocked his way and attacked him, almost killing him.”

”What exactly is the function of the Titanblood Ascension Altar?”

Tai Tianmei looked up at Ling Yun. ”Do you feel any difference between my ancestors and the others?”

”No.” Ling Yun shook his head, as all the Titans were the same in his eyes.

”The Titanblood Ascension Altar is the place where we Titans awaken our ancestral strength.” Ling Yun was surprised to hear that, prompting Tai Tianmei to explain further. ”After we awaken our ancestral strength, we will be able to draw out the latent divine potential from our Titan’s bloodline, which will give us a massive increase in physical strength, weight, and durability. Even though we are all of the same race, the titans born after that era, including me, are much weaker than my ancestors.”

”Hmm?” Ling Yun then asked her. ”Does that mean the Titan defeated by the old dragon before hasn’t reached the peak of his power?”

Tai Tianmei nodded at him. ”Just like me, Tai Guang is still too weak, and we can only become stronger by going to the Titanblood Altar. However, my elder isn’t sure if that place still exists, and it might have been destroyed like this place, especially since the battle in the past was so massive that it turned this place into this state.”

”I see.” Ling Yun nodded in understanding. ”How much difference in strength is there between the senior titans born after that era and those elders?”

”To put it simply, their strength is one, and my elders’ strength is one hundred.” Tai Tianmei’s answer shocked Ling Yun. ”My ancestors often say that the Primordial Chaos Dragon is an omnipotent being, but I’m sure you two won’t be able to defeat them if you fight them without using chaos abilities. If you want to become stronger, I suggest you fight Ancestor Tan, and you can measure his strength yourself at that time.”

Ling Yun nodded in agreement. ”Once we get back from this place, I’ll find Tai Tan and challenge him to a spar. I feel pretty strong now, but I’m not truly strong yet, so I came here to find opponents who are much stronger than me.”

”Hehe.” Tai Tianmei giggled. ”Do you think the primordial chaos dragon went there on purpose to check out the place?”

Ling Yun nodded at her. ”The old dragon must have realized the weakness of the titans born after that era, so he wanted to confirm the existence of that place. If that place truly still exists, you can all go there after we defeat that thing, and your strength will increase significantly.”

”You’re right.” Tai Tianmei thought for a while before forcefully pushing Ling Yun down onto the ground, and she immediately kissed him.
