The Strongest Dragon in the Era of Beast Taming

Chapter 914: 908

“It’s a pity, if only I had a little more time, perhaps I could fully awaken the divinity within my flesh.”

Feeling the stir of his innate talent Immortal in Death, David Jones opened his eyes with some regret.

Due to the hasty nature of the breakthrough, the benefits it brought were quite average, merely allowing him to possess the terrifying strength to crush a common Class VIII Emperor with one punch.

However, once the task of exorcism was over, he could continue to trigger the interrupted Thunder Tribulation and let his innate talent Immortal in Death complete its transformation.

“Now, with the boost from the Heaven Returning Skill, I should be able to utilize even more of Innocence’s power,” David Jones’s attention turned to the God Treasure Iron in his hands.

“Heavenly River Judgment Pearl Iron (35% attuned)”

...

“Only a 5% increase this time?”

David Jones’s eyebrows raised as he noticed that the power of Roll the Universe had also changed from a strike that immortals would avoid to one that could harm them.

It meant that he now had a trump card capable of injuring an Immortal demigod.

Regrettably, the consumption of releasing Roll the Universe was too horrific; unless he faced an insurmountable situation, he would not use it lightly.

“Don’t worry, a day means a day, and I won’t renege on my word.”

Seeing the light on the Vermilion Bird fading ever darker, David Jones stated bluntly, “Senior Vermilion Bird, how long can you hold on now?”

“One hour.” The Vermilion Bird replied irritably, its eyes curiously scanning over David Jones’s face.

It wasn’t sure if it was an illusion, but it felt that this breakthrough had added an indescribable quality to David Jones, though it now had no time for idle chat.

“Are you ready?” the Vermilion Bird asked seriously.

David Jones nodded.

“Be careful, I don’t know the situation inside the Vermilion Bird Holy Land right now.”

With that, the Vermilion Bird quickly landed on the Fire Separation Altar, erupting into a fierce blaze of light.

A sacred aura instantly triggered the altar’s reaction, blossoming into a blazing gateway of flames.

“My task is over, the rest is up to you.”

As the words fell, the Vermilion Bird, drained of its Arcane Force, turned into a dim Phoenix Badge and fell above the altar.

“Woo?”

The End Abyss curiously looked at the gateway, as if there was something inside particularly attractive to it.

“Meow.” (Go to sleep nicely.)

Daphne picked up the End Abyss and handed it to Lolo.

“You guys enter the Star Ring for a rest first, to avoid any separation when we teleport.”

David Jones gathered his pets and then picked up the badge before stepping into the gateway.

…

Accompanied by a sense of the world spinning, the first thing David Jones saw was a vast expanse of azure sky, thick with the scent of nature in the air.

Gazing at the towering mountains in the distance and the mesona plants visible everywhere on the ground, David Jones took a deep breath.

“Strange, I can’t detect even a whiff of Mystery Power!”

“Buzz!”

At that moment, the Star Ring on David Jones’s finger trembled.

As the dark Rune Circle faded, Daphne, ready for conflict, fixed her wary eyes on the towering trees ahead.

“Mew!” (There’s a Calamity Mysterious Beast!)

On hearing this, David Jones immediately activated his Golden Eyes of Flame to look at the serene and steady ancient paulownia tree.

In an instant, the world reflected in David Jones’s eyes transformed drastically.

The fresh air inhaled a moment before turned to a stifling, eerie miasma.

The once lush and vibrant tree now appeared withered and twisted, exposing shattered, charred branches, like numerous claws tearing souls apart, exuding a forbidding and malevolent aura.

Even the blue sky turned gloomy and oppressive, with drops of black rain falling down, capable of tainting human hearts.

What human fairyland!

David Jones now stared directly into a world that was clearly a horror Mystery Zone filled with gloom and strangeness.

“Pfft!”

Along with a sound, an ugly face emerged on the ancient and mysterious tree body.

“Grade”: Soul Weaving Paulownia

“Type”: Sacred Soul type

“Species Level”: Calamity (Emperor)

“Strength Level”: Class VIII lower-level

“Mysterious Beast Introduction”: The sacred paulownia tree, once the resting place of the Heavenly Vermilion Bird, has fallen under the influence of Mystery Power and transformed into a Calamity Mysterious Beast that delights in devouring souls, its seemingly dignified appearance hiding spine-chilling, strange tentacles.

“This place is the Vermilion Bird Holy Land, please present the Vermilion Bird’s Badge, otherwise no admittance for outsiders!”

Seeing the Soul Weaving Paulownia speak serious words with a bizarre expression, David Jones only felt a strong sense of incongruity.

Isn’t it, has this Mysterious Beast not realized its identity has been exposed?

“Please present the Vermilion Bird’s Badge!” the voice of the Soul Weaving Paulownia rang out again.

“Destiny Flame.”

David Jones had no interest in small talk and directly commanded Daphne to attack.

Although he couldn’t see the future of the Demon Soul Dominator, he could clearly see the end of the Soul Weaving Paulownia.

The Calamity Mysterious Beasts needed for the “removing filth” task were still two short; the Soul Weaving Paulownia was a good start toward meeting the quota.

If he was lucky enough this time, maybe he could help Daphne complete the “removing filth” task in one go and fully unlock the Destiny Power.

Upon hearing his words, a silvery white flame slowly emerged from Daphne’s pupils, and without hesitation, she breathed out the Destiny Flame, targeting the Soul Weaving Paulownia’s vitals.

“Impudent, how dare you trespass in the Vermilion Bird Holy Land. Once the sacred Vermilion Bird’s Flame ignites, it shall turn you all into ashes.”

The canopy of the Soul Weaving Paulownia shook, extending scorched branches to block the Destiny Flame.

“Still acting even when death is at hand,” David Jones shook his head, having never seen such a foolish Mysterious Beast before.

The next instant, his Star Ring glinted faintly, and the Gluttonous Beast carrying the Chaos Emperor Blade in its mouth immediately appeared.

“Roar.” (This guy seems inedible.)

The Gluttonous Beast showed a look of disdain.

Having had a taste of something as delicious as Kylin bone previously, it now had no interest in ordinary Calamity Mysterious Beasts.

“Less nonsense, take it down quickly, then use the Mechanical Torrent to revive it,” David Jones patted the Gluttonous Beast’s head.

Indeed, David Jones wanted to try exploiting a bug, seeing if he could add another Class VIII Emperor to the Gluttonous Beast’s ranks while completing the “removing filth” task.

“Roar.” (But this guy is a bit weak.)

The Gluttonous Beast, while expressing disapproval, let the Chaos Emperor Blade in its mouth start performing the Dragon Slaying Swordplay.

“Roar!” (First Style: Dance of Flowers!)

Taking advantage of the opportunity created by Daphne, the Gluttonous Beast instantly rushed to the front of the Soul Weaving Paulownia and swung a powerful slash.

The next second, countless sword lights like blossoming flowers exploded on the mysterious tree, bursting forth with ugly and filthy wounds.

“Roar!” (Third Style: Dragonless!)

Seeing the Soul Weaving Paulownia trying to heal its wounds, the Gluttonous Beast drew invisible Rune Circles centered around itself, tearing all of the opponent’s branches apart with overpowering slashes.

“The Vermilion Bird shall avenge me!”

“Daring to challenge the majesty of the master, you shall all be turned to nothingness under the Sacred Flame!”

Listening to the Soul Weaving Paulownia’s heroic roar before death, David Jones speechlessly covered his forehead.

What’s the situation, those unaware would think he was the villain!

These mad Mysterious Beasts truly cannot be treated with common sense!
