The Strongest Dragon in the Era of Beast Taming

Chapter 913: Chapter 907: Suspect Emerges

“Ao wu!”

Almost in the instant the Beast Taming Contract was completed, the End Abyss was surrounded by burning flames and couldn’t help but roar skyward, seemingly releasing the surging power inside its body.

“Class I upper-level… Class I apex… Class II lower-level… Class II apex!”

When End Abyss’s soaring aura ceased, the ground beneath its feet had already become a burning magma.

Its height had transformed from the original half a meter to over a meter, beginning to display the tyrannical Domination unique to the Dragon Emperor of Doom.

“Hum.”

...

At that moment, an anomaly occurred within the Phoenix Badge inside David Jones’s Star Ring, and an avatar of the Vermilion Bird, dazzling like flowing fire, immediately appeared.

It glanced at the immature aura of End Abyss, then turned its gaze towards David Jones with a tone of puzzlement.

“You’ve secluded yourself for so long just to hatch a dragon fledgling? If you delay any further, I may not be able to keep my composure, ensuring your safe passage into the Vermilion Bird Holy Land!”

“The matter concerns the Demon God, I need to make thorough preparations. Can you wait one more day for me?” said David Jones.

“I can, but there can be no further delays.”

Feeling the determination in David Jones’s tone, the Vermilion Bird hesitated for a moment but eventually could only nod in agreement.

After all, it was the Vermilion Bird, not David Jones, who was in need of assistance at the moment.

“You can rest assured in my handling of matters.”

As soon as he finished speaking, David Jones took out Innocence to communicate through Calm Mind.

Unquestionably, as his strength stepped into Class VIII Legend, the bond with the Heavenly River Judgment Pearl Iron had greatly improved as well.

[Heavenly River Judgment Pearl Iron (30% bonded)]: An Eternal True God Artifact, the exclusive weapon of the Fire Division’s Deity of the Heavenly Court.

Feeling the terrifying power contained within Innocence, David Jones focused his attention on its newly unlocked ability.

Ability Five [Roll the Universe]: The God Treasure Iron reveals its true supreme power, perfectly combining its magic with the heavenly and earthly power to unleash a strike capable of shaking the universe and erasing the Rules.

Note: Due to insufficient bonding with the God Treasure Iron, Roll the Universe can currently only unleash an attack on par with the full strength of an Immortal.

(With a single strike, all that is Immortal must give way.)

“Sigh.”

Seeing the new ability unlocked by Innocence, a sense of relief washed over David Jones’s heart.

Even though the strength of the Heavenly Azure Dragon was considerable, it was not invincible. Add to that the future glimpsed through the Golden Eyes of Flame was too vague, which made David Jones decide to seclude himself for a breakthrough to dismantle the thin barrier within reach. He sought to harness a stronger power from Innocence, attempting to acquire a capability to just barely protect himself in front of the Semi-Fiend.

Now it seemed his decision was correct. Even if the Sacred Beast Azure Dragon were to unfortunately fall in its demon-slaying quest, he would be able to strategically retreat with Roll the Universe.

“Hum!”

Suddenly, a complex and arcane Arcane Force surged from Innocence into David Jones’s body, causing the constantly operating Tigrex Dossier within his flesh to abruptly change its cultivation trajectory, evolving towards a direction mysterious beyond words.

[Heaven Returning Skill]: An Eternal-class true cultivation method which, through the profound mysteries of creation and destruction, the cycle of life and death in the universe, forges a divine physique. A Trainer who cultivates this can gain the foundation to ascend to the Eternal True God, and a Beast who cultivates this can comprehend its exclusive Rule-based magic.

“Boom boom boom!”

As the Great Path’s Rules faded, David Jones’s consciousness was jolted, and he felt as if he had undergone countless cycles of time.

One cycle divides into twelve branches, each lasting ten thousand and eight hundred years, and the Heaven Returning Skill allows the cultivator to attain enlightenment of the composition and foundation of the universe through the cycle of time.

“What is creation, the Eternal Sacred Physique!”

In the instant that eight divine patterns emerged, David Jones broke through the physical limitations of Epic Body Cultivation. His body devoured the profound mysteries of the Heaven and Earth Laws around him, unleashing a tyrannical pressure that made Rainbow and the others stagger.

“Li!”

The Vermilion Bird’s eyes widened as it watched David Jones immersed in arduous cultivation.

“We agreed to wait another day, why did you start your breakthrough again?”

Even with David Jones’s legendary physique as a foundation, it would take at least a week for him to complete the metamorphosis of his flesh and step into the Class VIII tier; by then, his corpse would nearly be cold!

Indeed, one cannot easily trust the words of humans!

The Vermilion Bird was at a loss for words; it wanted to step forward and persuade David Jones to delay his breakthrough to another day.

But the many pets that were vigilantly surrounding David Jones, as if they were ready to attack at a moment’s notice, successfully dissuaded the Vermilion Bird from the idea.

It had no choice; it couldn’t defeat these monsters in front of it.

Interrupting David Jones’s breakthrough now was no different from seeking death voluntarily; it didn’t want to cut off its last sliver of hope for survival.

As time slowly passed, the Domination filling the cultivation room became increasingly intense; even the peak of Mountain Sparrow started to display eye-catching anomalies of heaven and earth.

Only the flames on the Vermilion Bird’s body grew dimmer and dimmer.

…

Meanwhile, in the principal’s office at Phoenix College.

The new principal, Eudes Harrison, looked at the data in front of him with complex emotions in his eyes.

“Are you sure it’s her?”

“Based on the information investigation and the predictions made, there is a ten percent chance that Deity Phoenix Harrison is the traitor, a twenty percent chance for Deity Taim, and a five percent chance for Principal Skye Harrison,” the man in black robes stated calmly.

Eudes Harrison took off his glasses and rubbed his eyes, “So you’re saying there’s a sixty percent likelihood that it’s Deity Remilia Wanton?”

“Yes, on July 8 of Star Calendar year 430 and October 3 of Star Calendar year 586, Deity Remilia Wanton secretly infiltrated the Fire Separation Altar twice. Here is the detailed intelligence report and prophetic image fragments.”

The man in black robes handed over an Arcane Stone and then added a sentence.

“I also hope that the suspect is not Deity Remilia Wanton, who once saved my life, but I must be responsible for Phoenix College.”

The man in black robes looked up, revealing a face covered with scars, proof of his time used as a sacrifice by the Evil Soul Sect.

“I understand, I will personally arrest Deity Remilia Wanton and get to the bottom of this matter,” Eudes Harrison said after a moment of silence.

“But before the matter is completely cleared up, we cannot relax our vigilance against the other suspects.”

“Boom!”

No sooner had Eudes Harrison’s words fallen than thunder rumbled, and a torrential downpour suddenly began outside the window.

“Who is undergoing the Body Cultivation breakthrough to Class VIII on Mountain Sparrow?”

Eudes Harrison frowned and looked towards the distant mountain range.

“Currently, only Deity David Jones is using the cultivation room on Mountain Sparrow,” said the man in black robes.

“Interesting. I’ve lived for many years, but this is the first time I’ve seen such an extraordinary young man,” Eudes Harrison slowly stood up, his voice unable to hide his amazement.

“A Trainer favored by the Sacred Beast Azure Dragon is naturally no ordinary person,” a strong fighting spirit appeared in the man in black robes’ eyes.

“Strange, the agreed period of one month has already passed, why is Deity David Jones still undergoing his breakthrough?” Eudes Harrison said, frowning deeply.

He didn’t care when David Jones would undergo his breakthrough, but he was concerned about the safety of the great Sacred Beast Vermilion Bird and the future of Phoenix College.

Boom!

The next second, the thunderous rumble dissipated from the Mountain Sparrow range, revealing a clear sky that left Eudes Harrison and the other man looking at each other in disbelief.

According to their experience, the ascent to Class VIII Body Cultivation could not be completed within ten days to half a month.

Yet the tribulation of the just-ended transformation seemed to have lasted only a mere five minutes!

“So that’s it. The young people of today are truly extraordinary, even able to forcibly delay their body’s transformation!” A smile appeared in Eudes Harrison’s eyes.
