"Do you guys know what this is, Sis Dragon?" Bexia asked curiously. She knew what it was, but she didn't expect Long Momo and the others to be able to recognize the jade butterfly at a glance!
"We do know, but where did you get such a precious thing?" Long Nyssa was even more curious than Bexia about where it came from.
"I accidentally entered a special realm and encountered a ghost who claimed to be the first-generation Dragon God High Priest. He gave me this and asked me to find a worthy heir for these things," Bexia slightly modified the story. She didn't want to be seen as forcing them to take these things. But since Long Momo and the others were interested, she didn't have to waste time learning the magic and charms inside, which she didn't understand anyway.
"Oh, by the way, there's something else!" Bexia took out the storage ring of the Dragon God High Priest. The ring was almost empty, except for a bow called the "Holy Relic of Destiny," which looked like a random piece of rotten wood picked up from the roadside. There was no sign of a powerful weapon.
"This is... the legendary Ring of Rituals!" Long Momo and Long Nyssa said in unison, revealing the origin of the ring. It was not only a high-level storage ring, but also a symbol of status, representing the one closest to the Dragon God: the Dragon God High Priest. The shock caused by this item was even greater than that of the inheritance jade butterfly.
Perhaps Bexia didn't realize the value of this ring, but as a member of the Great Dragon Church, if this ring appeared outside, whoever possessed it could command the whole church openly. Moreover, the ring could also communicate with the power of the Dragon God, and only those recognized by the Dragon God could wield it.
"Oh, there's also a bow inside, the High Priest's weapon. But it is sealed with a special power, and only his descendant can use it!" Bexia said, taking out the wooden bow from the ring. She placed both the ring and the bow in Long Momo's hand, as she had always intended to give them to her. She couldn't use them herself anyway, so she might as well have a glorified fire stick.
"Hiss!" Long Momo instinctively caught the ring and the wooden bow handed to her by Bexia, but her palms immediately felt a sharp pain. She frowned as a large amount of blood flowed from the wounds in her palms. A magnificent golden light burst from underneath the grayish and decaying surface of the bow, slowly revealing a vibrant green color, with even two green leaves growing on one side.
Long Momo's body was lifted by the radiant light that appeared, as a golden energy flowed from the wooden bow into her entire body. Bexia knew it was elemental energy. She had just obtained the rights to use such a powerful force.
The visible changes in front of them revealed a lot, at least on the surface Bexia knew that Long Momo was now receiving the inheritance, and she was the descendant of the Dragon God High Priest.
"Ah, ahhh!" Just as Bexia was paying attention to Long Momo's transformation, a hoarse scream came from behind her. Bexia suddenly turned around and saw Long Hao, whose face was covered in blood, screaming in agony. A white crystal was gradually sinking into his head, while a white dragon shadow appeared and disappeared behind him.
"This is...?!" Bexia looked at the white dragon phantom, which was clearly identical to the white dragon that had just been killed by the Dragon God. He couldn't understand why this situation would occur. Wasn't the white dragon supposed to be dead?
"If I'm not mistaken, it is devouring the soul!" Long Nyssa, more knowledgeable than Bexia, thought for a moment before answering.
"I have read in ancient texts that the souls of the strong can be separated from their bodies without dying. Even if they are physically destroyed, they cannot be completely killed. Their souls are the true essence, just like the scene in front of us. Powerful souls can devour weaker ones and take their place!"
"How is this possible?" Bexia was deeply shocked. Did that mean it would be difficult to kill such super strong individuals? If souls couldn't be destroyed, then it would be useless to destroy their bodies over and over again. It would be just like the invincible cockroach! However, Long Nyssa's next words dispelled Bexia's thoughts, because there was a price to pay for soul devouring.
"But this is not a good thing. Once the target's soul is devoured, although a new body can be obtained, it cannot fully inherit the original strength. And the ability to devour souls can only be used once in a lifetime. Once the new body perishes, the soul will also perish!"
"Roar!" Long Hao let out a roar like a dragon. Blood covered his body as a blood mist exploded from his artifact. A pair of dragon wings unfolded from his back, and dragon horns and a dragon tail protruded from his body in an instant. In the blink of an eye, he transformed into a half-Dragonkin form, completely different from Enki and the others.
Enki's Dragonkin form seemed much more elegant compared to the "Long Hao" Dragonkin form. Except for a pair of dragon horns and a long, slender dragon tail, Enki looked no different from a human. Additionally, there was a stark contrast in the dragon horns and tail; one was sharp while the other was smooth like deer antlers. As for the dragon tail, one was thin while the other was stout. Enki and the others even had a soft mane, unlike the thick scales of a giant dragon.
"Lord Long Hao..." the witch doctor who followed Long Hao approached cautiously, but before he could finish speaking, a black shadow swept across his head, causing blood and brain matter to splash everywhere.
"You noisy ants!"
Long Hao... Oops, now he should be referred to as the white dragon. He squeezed his dragon claw and stared fiercely at Bexia. When their eyes met, Bexia couldn't help but feel a chilling intent.
"You are the one responsible for this, die!" The white dragon behind him flapped its flesh wings and appeared in front of Bexia in a flash. Its dragon claw, four to five times larger than an ordinary person, reached for Bexia's chest, intending to tear out and crush his heart.
However, the white dragon underestimated Bexia, and his current strength was no longer what it used to be. When his claw touched Bexia, a faint halo blocked it firmly. In that moment, his face changed, realizing that he had touched a piece of defensive equipment. However, this level of equipment used to be easily torn apart, yet now it couldn't be moved at all.
"Damn thing!" The white dragon quickly withdrew its claw, and Bexia immediately reacted. Hidden Dragon Cold Star immediately surged forward. Bexia couldn't see that the opponent couldn't break the defense of Thousand Transformations Robe, so now he could attack at will.
