Online Game: Low Drop Rate? I Have a Guaranteed Drop System!

With the Six Ding Divine Fire gone, he couldn't keep training the Eight Desolations Body-Tempering Art. This art only advances by absorbing damage.

[Ding Your Fire‑Element law insight rose to 10%. You grasped the Six Ding Divine Fire.]

[Six Ding Divine Fire: a divine fire that never goes out or dies. It can refine anything, including soul forms.]

The prompt messages appeared.

He actually gained the Six Ding Divine Fire!

Johnnie was thrilled.

This is the flame the Grand Supreme Elder Lord uses for alchemy. In myth, the Golden‑Hooped Staff and the Nine‑Toothed Rake were forged with it. Its power is no joke.

And it can even refine soul forms.

Johnnie's eyes lit up. Could the Six Ding Divine Fire threaten a Divine Soul?

"Human, you really surprised me." The handsome youth's voice sounded. With the Six Ding Divine Fire gone, he stopped cultivating, stood up slowly, and stared at Johnnie with greedy eyes.

"I'll give you a chance to live," he said coldly. "Hand over the technique you used to refine the divine fire and temper your body."

Johnnie was taken aback. He hadn't planned to target this guy, yet the man was eyeing him.

He shook his head and said calmly, "If I don't, can you take it by force?"

"Take it by force? Heh." The youth sneered. "I have a better way."

Buzz!

Light flashed in his eyes. Johnnie stepped back, sensing danger.

This guy's Soul Power was strong.

The youth spoke with pride, "Kid, remember this. My name is Owen."

Owen?

Johnnie was confused. Was this guy famous?

"Huh? You really don't know me?" Owen frowned at his reaction. "Looks like you're not from the Land of Confusion. But it doesn't matter. From now on, you are me."

As he spoke, a golden Celestial Dragon phantom flew out from his forehead and shot toward Johnnie.

A Divine Soul!

Johnnie's face changed. He raised a hand to block, but the Celestial Dragon light sank straight into his body.

It was a strong, pure soul power. He clearly felt the Celestial Dragon appear in the depths of his soul.

"Huh? You actually have Celestial Dragon blood? Heaven really favors me!" Owen's voice sounded. Right after, sharp pain stabbed through Johnnie's soul. His body went rigid, and he slowly lost control.

Possession!

Johnnie realized it at once.

Some powerful beings can let their Divine Soul leave their body and seize someone else's body.

But few do this, because the new body never fully matches, and their strength drops a lot.

Buzz...

A loud buzzing filled Johnnie's mind. His soul trembled, his consciousness almost collapsed, and his face twisted in pain.

He felt a grave danger. If his body was taken and his Divine Soul destroyed, he would surely die.

"Get out of me!" Johnnie roared. He unleashed the Sword of Souls, his only soul attack.

Buzz!

A sword of light formed in his soul and shot at the Celestial Dragon phantom.

"Hah, a firefly dares to compete with the full moon?" Owen sneered. The Celestial Dragon phantom opened its mouth and swallowed the light sword in one gulp.

Light rippled around it. It was completely unharmed.

"Kid, stop struggling. I'll use this body of yours to shake the whole continent!" Owen's voice was proud. The Celestial Dragon phantom howled, rushed in, wrapped around Johnnie's soul, and began to eat it away bit by bit.

Waves of stabbing pain hit him.

Johnnie felt like his head would split. His soul kept getting weaker, and he could do nothing.

"Master, the Six Ding Divine Fire!"

Just then, Maiev's voice came. A surge of powerful Soul Power poured into Johnnie's mind, blocking the Celestial Dragon phantom's devouring.

"Oh? You even carry a soul contract? The Goddess of Life? The soul of the Map of Heaven and Earth, and so many artifacts!" Owen sounded thrilled. "All of these will be mine!"

If he possessed Johnnie and devoured his soul, the powerhouses and artifacts that had signed soul contracts with Johnnie would also merge into Owen's soul.

"Hmph, keep dreaming!" Johnnie snapped. With a thought, endless flames swept in and covered his soul space.

"Six Ding Divine Fire!" Owen cried out, his voice full of fear. "You actually grasped the Six Ding Divine Fire!"

The Celestial Dragon phantom trembled, as if in great pain.

The Six Ding Divine Fire can refine all things. It can refine souls too.

Before, a physical body blocked most of the Soul Damage. But now his Divine Soul was being roasted by the flames directly. His Soul Power was quickly refined away and scattered.

Johnnie's soul was also in the flames, but he wasn't affected. He controlled the Six Ding Divine Fire and no longer feared it.

"Damn it, I still underestimated you!" Owen panicked. The Celestial Dragon phantom flickered, trying to escape.

"Hmph. Trying to run now? Too late!" A cool shout rang out. Countless vines appeared and wrapped toward the Celestial Dragon phantom.

It was Maiev's doing.

Her soul didn't enter Johnnie's soul space, but because of the soul contract, she could use Soul Power here.

Whoosh!

Several vines bound the Celestial Dragon phantom at once.

Johnnie willed the flames to surge. Endless fire gathered and swallowed the Celestial Dragon phantom.

"Aaah…" A shrill scream echoed. The Celestial Dragon phantom writhed in pain, struggling hard.

"Break!" he roared. Golden light burst from him, and he smashed the vines by force.

Right after, the golden light dimmed, and his aura became very weak.

Owen didn't dare linger. He rushed out of Johnnie's soul space.

Without the Entangling Vines, Johnnie couldn't stop him.

Cough!

Owen's Divine Soul returned to his body. He spat a mouthful of blood, his face pale and his breath feeble.

Hiding to the side, Douglas let out a sigh of relief.

He had really feared Johnnie would be possessed. If that happened, he would be in deep trouble too.

At this moment, Johnnie slowly opened his eyes. His mind cleared, and he took back control of his body.

"Owen, right? Today you die." His voice was cold. He raised a hand, and the Seven Sword flew out, slashing toward Owen.

"Hmph, know your place. Even badly hurt, I'm not someone a weak human like you can handle." Owen scoffed. A bright silver spear appeared in his hand. The shaft shook, blasting away the seven flying swords, and several Celestial Dragon phantoms shot at Johnnie.

Boom, boom...

Rumbles echoed. Johnnie was knocked flying with no way to resist. His health points dropped to zero in an instant.

[Ding You were instantly killed by Dragon Beast Owen. Blessed by a special law, you revive on the spot.]

Dragon Beast?

Johnnie noticed the system prompt and was a bit surprised.

When members of the dragon race fall into the demonic path, they turn into Dragon Beasts. They're stronger than normal Celestial Dragons and can devour their own kind to cultivate. The dragon race rejects them.

Johnnie couldn't help wondering if the many dragon corpses on Dragonsbane Island were killed by Owen.

Or maybe the Tidal Giant was acting under Owen's orders.

He had entered the Eight Trigrams Furnace to train on his own; it didn't look like the Tidal Giant had locked him in.

And he'd said himself he was a Highgod.

"Human, since you won't let me possess you, then go die!" Owen's cold voice rang out.

Johnnie had the Six Ding Divine Fire and huge potential. If he kept growing, he would surely surpass Owen. Since Owen had already made an enemy of him, he had to kill Johnnie before that happened.

Whoosh!

The spear howled and slammed down in an instant.

Johnnie frowned. It was too late to dodge. And the Eight Trigrams Furnace sealed space, so he couldn't use a blink skill.

Boom!

With a roar.

Johnnie was killed again—and then revived on the spot.

Soul attack!

Johnnie's face changed, pain twisting his features. Owen's strikes carried soul damage. He couldn't take many of those.

"Douglas, you're still not going to help?!" He glared at Douglas, shouting.

Huh?

Douglas frowned, realizing Johnnie wanted to drag him into it.

He hurried to say, "Johnnie, you think too highly of me. I'm no match for him at all."

With that, he slipped to the edge of the furnace space, clearly not planning to step in.

"Hmph, both of you are dying today!" Owen scoffed and charged at Johnnie.

Boom!

The spear howled, dragon shadows flashed, and, as expected, Johnnie was blasted to death again.

"Damn it!" He revived on the spot, cursing inside. He raised his hand and a sky full of divine fire poured down, swallowing Owen whole. It was the Six Ding Divine Fire.

"Human, it's useless. Unless we're in your soul space, this Six Ding Divine Fire can't threaten me," Owen's cold voice came as he slowly walked out of the flames.

He had also trained by absorbing the Six Ding Divine Fire, so the flames didn't harm his body much.

Johnnie swallowed, a wave of helplessness rising in his chest.

"One more chance. Hand over the Body-Tempering Art you practice!" Owen still didn't want to give up. A Body-Tempering Art that could swallow the Six Ding Divine Fire was anything but ordinary.

"If I give you the technique, will you let me go?" Johnnie kept a straight face, stalling for time, and called to Coco in his mind.

In this situation, only Skye's giant axe might turn the tide.

"Lord, no. The Eight Trigrams Furnace is too special. It suppresses space. Even if Lord Skye agreed, we can't take out Skye's axe," Coco's voice sounded in his head.

Johnnie felt despair. It seemed he could only rely on himself.

With a playful look, Owen said, "Of course. Give me the technique and I'll spare your life."

"Hmph."

Johnnie snorted. This guy would never let him go—and he couldn't pass on the Eight Desolations Body-Tempering Art anyway.

Coco had fused that technique straight into his mind. Only he could cultivate it; it couldn't be taught to others.

It seemed the only way to deal with this guy was to use a heavenly tribulation.

"I'd rather trust myself," Johnnie said coldly.

As he spoke, he stopped holding back. Power surged around him and spread out.

Even inside the Eight Trigrams Furnace, a heavenly tribulation is special—the furnace can't block it.

Rumble, rumble…

Outside, dark clouds rolled, thunder boomed, and a terrifying pressure spread, covering the Eight Trigrams Furnace.

The Tidal Giants standing guard frowned.

"What's going on? Did someone refine a god-tier pill that triggers Celestial Wrath?" one asked, staring at the churning clouds above in surprise.

"No, it's that human. He has a way to call down a heavenly tribulation!" another said with a frown. He had seen Johnnie use a heavenly tribulation to kill a Tidal Giant.
