The Strongest Dragon in the Era of Beast Taming

Chapter 881: Chapter 875: Blue Essence of Rising Dragon

“It’s still too early to think about these things,”

Staley Roland shook his head and slowly walked toward the Sky-reaching Wood.

Hearts of humans are fickle, and so are the beasts.

Unless David Jones has Destiny.

Otherwise, even if he can currently tame a Class VII Destiny Dragon Golem, it’s uncertain if he would be able to tame a Class IX Destiny Sacred Beast in the future—the two are entirely different concepts.

...

David Jones was unaware of Staley Roland’s thoughts. He looked up at the towering Sky-reaching Wood with a hint of solemnity in his eyes.

Intuition told him that climbing to the top of the Wood would probably take a considerable amount of time.

“Yi.” (Let me try.)

Rainbow volunteered eagerly, her figure instantly appeared at the base of the Wood.

Boom!

Like the sky falling and the earth splitting, a tremendous Domination burst forth from inside the Wood, causing Rainbow’s heart to tighten, and even her breathing became rapid.

“Yi.”

Under the watchful eyes of her many companions, Rainbow tensed her body. Her dragon claws, which could shatter gold and stone, gripped the bark tightly as she continued to climb upward at a slow pace.

“So that’s it. The higher one climbs the Sky-reaching Wood, the stronger the spirit wood Domination faced. With my strength, ten thousand meters is probably the limit,” David Jones’s eyes lost their luster.

From his observation, this vast Wood reached hundreds of thousands of meters high. Its overwhelming Domination made it difficult for even a Class VII Overlord Pet to approach. It seemed only Beasts of Class VIII Emperor level or above could potentially climb to the summit.

In that case, of the six Pets he had formed Contracts with, only Lolo had a chance to reach the top.

However, just because Rainbow and the others couldn’t reach the top didn’t mean they wouldn’t benefit.

With this thought in mind, David Jones no longer hesitated. He took a step forward and started climbing toward the summit with Rainbow and the others.

Boom!

Boom!

Boom!

With every hundred meters climbed, David Jones felt an intense booming sound explode deep within his brain, making his already slow pace even slower.

At the same time, David Jones also noticed something: every time he climbed approximately five hundred meters, the leaves of the Wood would release a rich and pure Arcane Force that merged into his body.

This power made the normally elusive Wood Rule become extremely clear, even bringing a comfortable sensation as if merging with the endless heavens and earth.

“Nian.”

Goldy’s eyes held a trace of confusion.

For some reason, it felt inexplicably familiar with the Sky-reaching Wood, as if it belonged to them, which made it quicken its pace in an attempt to catch up with Loona at the front.

“Mi?” (Are you okay?)

Daphne looked worriedly at Goldy.

“Nian.”

Goldy shook its head, indicating it was fine.

As for the Gluttonous Beast, it was climbing at the very rear of the group.

It carefully extended its dragon claw and scraped the bark of the tree.

“Ker-crack!”

A small piece of bark, as crystal clear as jade, fell into the palm of the Gluttonous Beast.

It looked around cautiously, and then stealthily put the bark in its mouth to chew.

“Roar!” (Delicious!)

The Gluttonous Beast’s eyes lit up, and it quickly scooped out another piece of bark to hand to David Jones.

“No need, you eat it yourself,”

David Jones waved his hand, politely declining.

He didn’t have the strong teeth like the Gluttonous Beast to engage in Infinite Integration of substances, a bite would surely result in teeth breaking apart. Comprehending the Rule was more suitable for him.

Thus, accompanied by his six Pets, David Jones continued to climb, continued to ponder the Rule, and purified his spirit, until Goldy began to show signs of exhaustion.

“Phew.” David Jones gasped for breath, his eyes looking toward Goldy who showed a stubborn determination.

At this moment, the Domination emitted by the Sky-reaching Wood had become dozens of times denser, its prowess nearing that of a Class VIII Emperor. Even a Class VII Overlord would not be able to endure it for long here.

Fortunately, David Jones had Lolo to take on some of the Domination pressure; otherwise, he would have probably fallen faster than Goldy.

“Chuff!”

Goldy, unwilling to stop here, shook its head, refusing to enter the Star Ring to rest and extended its dragon claws to continue climbing.

After climbing dozens of meters like this, Goldy suddenly stopped all motion and stood still.

“Buzz!”

In the next instant, a dazzling light of advancement burst forth, and the aura of Goldy, which had fallen to the nadir, suddenly surged.

“Class VII upper-level!”

Seeing this scene, David Jones’s eyes couldn’t help but brighten.

“Chuff!”

Under the watchful eyes of David Jones and the pets, Goldy slightly clenched its dragon claw, forming Wood Thunder filled with vitality based on the skill Five Thunders at Hand to heal itself, quickly restoring the nearly exhausted energy within its body.

“Profile” Skill: Healing Thunder

Level: Level VIII, dual-type skill of thunder and wood

“Profile”: Lightning contains not only the power of Annihilation but also endless vitality. The Heavenly Will Dragon can mobilize the energy of life through the power of lightning to heal itself or teammates.

“Not bad.”

While David Jones was delighted, his eyes suddenly caught a flash of blue light.

Within the blue light was a dragon with its head held high, accompanied by the sounds of wind and thunder as it meandered through the clouds and mist.

“To come across such an easy opportunity for the blue essence of the Rising Dragon?” David Jones couldn’t help but cast a glance at Daphne.

With this strand of blue essence at hand, perhaps he could persist in climbing the Sky-reaching Wood for another five thousand meters, pushing his late Class VII Arcane Star Cultivation even further.

“It’s up to you, Lolo.”

As soon as David Jones finished speaking, Lolo stamped on the tree trunk, using the sudden erupting force to leap high towards the direction of the blue essence.

Then, with a light clench of its palm, Lolo blocked all possible escape routes for the blue essence.

“Bang.”

Without any mishap, Lolo crisply and straightforwardly captured the blue essence, its body rapidly falling downward.

Seeing this, the Gluttonous Beast quickly transformed its back armor into a metal net to catch Lolo.

“Tweet!”

Lolo directly handed the blue essence of the Rising Dragon to David Jones.

“Profile” The blue essence of the Rising Dragon: Level VIII Legendary resource (pseudo), this is a special and highly pure Arcane Force condensed from the vita of the Sky-reaching Wood and the faint power of the Azure Dragon.

Once absorbed, it can greatly enhance the Wood affinity and resistance to the Sky-reaching Wood’s Domination, and there’s a chance to obtain the Body of the Azure Dragon.

Note: This is an exceedingly sparse strand of the blue essence of the Rising Dragon; five strands are needed to converge before it becomes a true Legendary resource.

After reading the description of the blue essence, David Jones confirmed there were no hidden dangers and directly activated the Taikoo Black Dragon Chart to devour and integrate it.

In an instant, the blue essence that entered David Jones’s Origin Star Space suddenly burst with endless radiance, dyeing the Azure Dragon Constellation above the Arcane Star a verdant green before fully merging into the Arcane Star itself.

Then a sharp pain suddenly erupted from deep within David Jones’s brain.

“Hiss!”

David Jones couldn’t hold back a sharp intake of breath, feeling as if someone had brutally struck his head with a hammer.

Fortunately, the severe pain came quickly and went away just as fast; otherwise, David Jones really feared he would fall into unconsciousness.

“Yip, mew…!”

Noticing David Jones’s abnormal condition, all the pets immediately surrounded the Trainer, their eyes filled with concern.

Lolo looked at its empty palm, lost in thought.

“Don’t worry, it’s a good thing.”

David Jones strained to keep his spirits up, silently feeling the transformation of the Arcane Star.
