X-Dragon Era

There are countless magical artifacts in this world, but when it comes to the power of a single artifact, without a doubt... the Thunderbolt Mace is the strongest. Although Xin Yun's strength is limited, and he cannot fully unleash the Thunderbolt Mace's power, under the same level of circumstances, no one can withstand Xin Yun's attack.

Swiftly, Xin Yun and Yi Luo Xiang completed four rounds of attacks. At the same time, all the Sword Dragons in the vicinity swarmed over, their overwhelming assaults pouring down on the two like a torrential rain. Seeing this scene, the two exchanged a glance, and then simultaneously activated the Tai Chi Diagram, vanishing from the spot.

Although enduring the attacks head-on wouldn't have been a significant issue, it was clear that smart individuals wouldn't do so. No matter how urgent things were, they wouldn't mind sparing this little bit of time.

After the two left, the Sword Dragons circled around warily for a while before eventually dispersing. As the massive group of Sword Dragons gradually moved away, in the next moment... two golden flashes reappeared atop the peak. Yi Luo Xiang and Xin Yun reemerged in mid-air, as a lightning bolt as thick as a person struck down upon them.

Thus, through their guerrilla warfare tactics, Xin Yun and Yi Luo Xiang fully utilized the strategies of retreating when the enemy advanced, advancing when the enemy retreated, striking when the enemy was fatigued. In just half an hour, they completely broke the spirit of the silver Sword Dragon.

Physical injuries are easy to heal, but once the soul suffers trauma, it is extremely difficult to recover. Such restoration requires a span of time measured in days rather than hours.

Under the continuous assaults from the two, finally... the power of the soul within the silver Sword Dragon began to scatter. With Yi Luo Xiang's final Soul Strangle, at last... the silver Sword Dragon's soul transformed into a cloud of colorful specks of light, drifting lazily within its brain and slowly spreading outward.

With this, the three strands of soul within the silver Sword Dragon had been destroyed, and the three True Spirits had separated from its physical body. The rainbow-colored light within its skull was actually the radiance of the Seven Souls, not the True Spirit.

Seeing this, Yi Luo Xiang dared not hesitate. With a point of her right hand, three swirling orbs of spectral light shot forth, instantly penetrating the silver Sword Dragon's mind.

These three orbs of colorful light were precisely the True Spirits of the Four Great Puppet Dragons that Yi Luo Xiang possessed. Once these orbs entered the silver Sword Dragon's skull, they swiftly began merging with its physical body. Simultaneously, the colorful specks of light that had begun to drift away suddenly seemed to find their home, rapidly converging back onto the orbs of light.

Everything happened with incredible speed. Very quickly... the three True Spirits of the Puppet Dragon fused with the seven souls of the silver Sword Dragon, forming a new combination of spirit and soul—a brand-new soul! At the same time... this soul also became the master of the silver Sword Dragon!

Everything unfolded with meticulous precision. By using Soul System attacks, they shattered the silver Sword Dragon's original soul, expelled its three True Spirits, and then implanted the three True Spirits of the Puppet Dragon. These True Spirits merged with the silver Sword Dragon's Seven Souls. In this way... the core of the soul was replaced, while everything else remained intact.

If one were to compare a giant dragon to a computer, what was replaced was equivalent to the CPU chip. As for the hard drive, memory, and floppy disk, those were all preserved. These components corresponded to the Seven Souls of the giant dragon! Once the computer was turned on, all functionalities and data remained unchanged, but the ownership had shifted.

After completing all this, the silver Emperor Sword Dragon's body was effectively claimed, becoming Yi Luo Xiang's Puppet Dragon. Since the Soul System attacks harmed the soul but did not damage the physical form, Yi Luo Xiang now possessed a Puppet Dragon at the Diamond Peak level!

Over the next hour and a half, Xin Yun and Yi Luo Xiang didn't waste a single moment. Following the same process from earlier, they quickly completed another series of tasks. Over the course of two hours, Yi Luo Xiang achieved her initial goal.

Outside the Sword Dragon Valley, Xin Yun and Yi Luo Xiang stood joyously atop a small mountain peak. Hovering in the sky before them were four colossal Sword Dragons!

Purple, blue, black, and white—the four Sword Dragons were distinctly different in color. In truth... they differed in more than just color. Aside from all being swords and of similar size, the shapes of the four Sword Dragons were completely distinct from one another. Each was more unique, more elegant than the last, as though they were forged by four master craftsmen. The four Sword Dragons' styles were entirely unlike one another.

Besides their differing forms, the abilities and battle techniques of the four Sword Dragons were also vastly different. Not a single one was similar to Po Kong. Among the four Sword Dragons, each had exceptionally powerful traits, each unique yet unparalleled.

Gleefully admiring the four Sword Dragons before the peak, Yi Luo Xiang jumped up and down with excitement, exclaiming, "This is amazing... beyond my wildest expectations! This is practically my dream goal come true. With these four Sword Dragons, hehe... my strategic and tactical system is finally complete!"

Watching Yi Luo Xiang's jubilant demeanor, Xin Yun secretly felt happy as well. For the longest time... Yi Luo Xiang's offensive capabilities were frankly lacking, heavily skewed toward support. If she wanted to defeat someone, she often had to rely on her companions for help.

But now things were different. With the assistance of these four Diamond Peak level giant dragons, coupled with her terrifying supportive abilities and battle techniques, she could fully rely on her own strength to stand against the charge of an entire army.
