The Strongest Dragon in the Era of Beast Taming

Chapter 831: 825

The ground cracked open, and lava flowed like a river.

A sun radiating endless light and heat shone high in the sky, casting golden rays that were so intense they burned all things, plunging the entire world into extreme heat.

And at the brilliant sun’s core, a divine bird wielding the scepter of flames stood proudly, its eyes shining with divine light.

This noble bird was magnificent in appearance, its feathers shimmered like gold, as if it were the blazing sun itself.

Its eyes were deep and sharp, and within its pupils, fire runes flickered into and out of existence, exuding a terrifying sense of domination.

Observing this majestic bird, seemingly a Fire God descended upon the world, David Jones’s eyes flickered with purple-gold brilliance.

“Pet Name”: Three-legged Golden Crow (Blood Essence Phantom)@@novelbin@@

“Pet Type”: Fire

“Species Level”: Ultimate Emperor (???）

“Grade”: Class VIII lower-level

“Species Skill”: Solar Sky, Shining Sun, Solar Divine Fire, Purify the World, Immortal Charisma…

“Pet Profile”: The crow has three claws, the utmost yang, and is one of the most noble existences between heaven and earth. This Blood Essence Phantom inherits a part of the Three-legged Golden Crow’s Arcane Force, immune to fire attacks and disregarding any abnormal status.

Note: The eyes of the Three-legged Golden Crow can see through the reality and illusion of the world, unleash solar true fire to heal fatal wounds, reborn from ashes, but are also its weakest point in defense.

“No wonder no one can pass through the ninth rank of the Inheritance Trial,” David Jones remarked.

He figured it out, for The Tower of Refining Beasts truly had no intention of letting anyone pass through this damned Inheritance Trial to gain control.

Lilith’s Contract Pet was the Three-legged Red Crow, so David Jones was not unfamiliar with the Three-legged Golden Crow, knowing it to be innately sacred, on par with the Dragon of Domination, and extremely powerful.

And that the Golden Crow before him was a Blood Essence Phantom, possessing only a fraction of its original power; otherwise, he wouldn’t even have the necessity to try to defeat it.

After all, even if Rainbow and the others were strong, they could not defeat an eighth-grade Immortal divine bird by surpassing their class!

“Cheep cheep!” (So hot!)

Lolo wiped the sweat that dripped down its brow.

Wood fears fire, and even just gazing at this divine bird from a distance, it had the illusion of being in a sea of flames.

“Yi!” “Mi!”

Rainbow, Daphne, and the other Pets all showed a serious demeanor.

They had not expected the gap between the eighth and seventh ranks of the Inheritance Trial to be so huge, jumping from a Class VI apex King straight to Class VIII Ultimate Emperor.

Such a terrifying leap in trial difficulty was not surprising, considering even the Origin Emperor had been stuck at rank nine.

Right at that moment, the voice of the Artifact Spirit rang out, “Trial rank eight: Defeat the Three-legged Golden Crow and obtain its Essence Blood to pass through.”

As soon as the voice fell, the eyes of the Three-legged Golden Crow changed slightly, locking onto Lolo in an instant, its body transforming into a blazing golden glow that vanished.

“Be careful!”

David Jones’s pupils constricted with urgency.

Fast!

Too fast, so much so that even his Golden Eyes of Flame almost failed to catch that divine speed!

With David Jones’s warning, Lolo’s bright green pupils dilated, and it just managed to react in time. Ripples condensed in the space in front of it, quickly forming a Space Segmentation that could withstand the attack of a regular eighth-grade Emperor.

“Boom!”

The golden glow exploded, space shattered, and the earth roared.

A terrifying sea of fire and shockwaves burst forth, annihilating the space, and Lolo’s body was directly blasted away, falling to the ground like a cannonball and stirring up a swath of burning lava.

“Yi!” “Mi!” “Meh!” “Roar!” “Raa!”

The five Pets’ expressions changed subtly as dragon shadows shimmered, forming a united front to encircle the Golden Crow tightly, allowing no opportunity for it to launch another attack.

Meanwhile, David Jones kept his attention on the battle as he stepped onto the earth, appearing within the crystallized great pit.

“Cheep cheep!” (Be careful, this one is strong!)

Lolo wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth, where a faint burn mark could be seen on the chest.

Seeing Lolo in such a sorry state, anger flashed in David Jones’s eyes.

“Don’t worry, you rest up first,” he said.

David quickly took out an elixir from the Star Ring and fed it to Lolo.

Although he knew pets wouldn’t die within the Beast Refining Tower, he still couldn’t help feeling angry.

Wood is inherently afraid of fire, let alone the most intense and purest solar divine fire in the world!

If it weren’t for Lolo’s daily receipt of dragon-wielding power and strengthening with Dragon Crystal, her body much sturdier than that of a plant-type beast, the blow by itself might have been enough to incapacitate her for ten days to half a month.

On the other side, the five pets began their fair one-to-many challenge.

“Eeek!” (I’m going to slaughter you!)

Fire burned in Rainbow’s eyes, as her dragon claws opened and the destructive runes on her body instantly swirled towards the Three-legged Golden Crow in a special trajectory.

“Grasp of Annihilation!”

“Squelch.”

Sensing the incoming crisis, the Three-legged Golden Crow naturally refused to passively accept this blow that could determine the battle.

It flapped its wings with the swiftness of thunder, emitting extreme heat that twisted the void, drawing upon the solar light and attempting to incinerate its enemies with the terrifying high temperature of divine fire.

“Swallow Flame!”

Daphne charged ahead, her body’s Destiny Flame erupted, contesting the divine bird for control over the divine fire.

Having failed to protect Lolo from the attack before, she wouldn’t give the opponent any chance to harm her allies this time.

Boom, boom, boom!

As expected, Daphne couldn’t wrest control from the Three-legged Golden Crow, known as the sun god. The fearsome solar divine fire only paused briefly before releasing terrifying halos of light, intent on burning everything to ashes.

If it were a one-on-one duel, Daphne would already be at a disadvantage now.

However, they were engaged in the fairest five-to-one challenge against the Three-legged Golden Crow.

The delay caused by Swallow Flame allowed enough time for Grasp of Annihilation to hit the Three-legged Golden Crow completely, sealing its solar powers and rendering the sweeping solar divine fire rootless.

“Squelch!”

Despite being only a Blood Essence Phantom, the Three-legged Golden Crow was not less spirited.

It wasn’t thrown into the slightest panic by the sudden turn of events; its three golden flaming claws tore through space, targeting Rainbow to break the seal of Grasp of Annihilation.

“Roar!” (Got you!)

The Gluttonous Beast’s black crystal dragon claw caught the Three-legged Golden Crow’s right wing, revealing a ferocious smile as it used Shadowless Dragon Claw with all its might.

“Squelch!”

With a shrill screech, the Gluttonous Beast viciously tore off the right wing of the Three-legged Golden Crow, scattering golden blood everywhere.

Seizing the opportunity, Goldy and Loona exchanged glances and acted simultaneously.

The former unleashed Water Thunder to bombard the Golden Crow’s eyes, while the latter released Time Corrosion, spewing an invisible current to envelop the Golden Crow entirely, corroding its essence, breath, and spirit with time.

“Bang!”

Suddenly subjected to so many heavy blows, the Three-legged Golden Crow’s body burst open, shooting up like a reluctant firework breaking free from its bonds, shining with its last afterglow of light, before collapsing thunderously.

“Eeek!” (What a pity!)

Rainbow smacked her lips, somewhat dissatisfied.

This Golden Crow wasn’t resilient enough; she hadn’t even started avenging Lolo yet!

At that moment, witnessing the overwhelming crush, Lolo was momentarily stunned, her small face showing a touch of emotion.

The young ones who once required her protection had now all grown into companions capable of protecting themselves.
