Chapter 0420: The Fall of the Chaos Divine Dragon
“Only a descendant of the Luning family could merge with my bloodline. Such a person must possess great talent and formidable strength. Which descendant of the Luning family wouldn’t want to participate in the Trials of the Land of Forgetfulness to obtain the Sacred Fruit of Heaven and Earth and the Nether Pearl? Though these treasures aren’t much in the Chaos Divine Plane, they are extremely rare in the Netherworld. So, how could you possibly refuse to join?” said the Chaos Divine Dragon.
Huang Long shook his head secretly with a smile. Only a descendant of the Luning family? In fact, he wasn’t even from that family!
Perhaps even the Chaos Divine Dragon hadn’t expected this?!
Moreover, if it weren’t for hearing that the Nether Pearl could heal his wounded soul, he wouldn’t have shown any interest in the Land of Forgetfulness. If he didn’t show up, wouldn’t the Chaos Divine Dragon wait in vain until death?
Huang Long asked about the Rainbow Coiling Dragon sending someone to capture him.
“Over these more than a thousand Eras, my remaining soul has been depleted to its limit. It could dissipate at any moment. To meet you as soon as possible, I had no choice but to send Greg to invite you. But I never expected Greg to fail twice.” At this point, the Chaos Divine Dragon glanced at the Rainbow Coiling Dragon. His dragon eyes flashed, and though it was merely a shadow of a weakened soul, the entire starry sky seemed to tremble.
The Rainbow Coiling Dragon, Greg, knelt in panic. “It’s Greg’s fault. Please punish me, master!”
Although the Rainbow Coiling Dragon was a supreme warrior, in front of the Supreme God, he was nothing but an ant—let alone a high-ranking deity. Even the Lord God was no exception. There was even a rumor in the divine planes that the Lord God was merely a servant, working for the Supreme God to manage the divine planes.
Of course, such rumors were likely untrue, but they still reflected the supreme status of the Supreme God.
“Punish you?! If it were before, would you even still be standing here?!” The Chaos Divine Dragon roared, and the space around him tightened.
A thousand Eras ago, with his abilities, this Rainbow Coiling Dragon would have long disappeared. But now, he had only a faint remnant of a soul, on the verge of collapse, leaving him helpless.
“Yes, master!” Greg replied anxiously, head bowed, too afraid to complain.
“Get up,” said the Chaos Divine Dragon after a while.
Greg stood up and stepped back respectfully.
Huang Long remained calm, but the Wind-Flame Dragon Scale was utterly stunned, its mind unable to function. It now understood that the shadow in the starry sky was indeed the remaining soul of the Supreme God.
The Supreme God!
Even if it were just asoul
soul, without its master, the Yellow Dragon, providing it with immense power, it would likely have already collapsed, unable to move. The Chaos Divine Dragon glanced at the Wind-Flame Dragon Scale beside the Yellow Dragon and said, “Wind-Flame Dragon Scale? Not bad bloodline.” Then it turned to the Yellow Dragon and said, “You’re called Yellow Dragon? I can see your soul has also suffered severe damage. You came to the Land of Forgetfulness for that Nether Pearl, right?” The Yellow Dragon wasn’t surprised that the Chaos Divine Dragon could see the damage to its soul, nor did it hide its purpose for coming to the Land of Forgetfulness. It nodded and said, “Indeed, I came for that Nether Pearl.” The Chaos Divine Dragon shook its head. “If you had come before, the Nether Pearl would still be there. But this time, it’s gone, and it will never exist again.” “Gone?!” The Yellow Dragon’s expression changed slightly, unsure of what the Chaos Divine Dragon meant. “That’s right. The Sacred Fruits of Heaven and Earth and the Nether Pearl were originally from the Chaos Divine Realm. After so many eons of consumption, they’re almost exhausted. Moreover, mysoul
soul has reached its limit over these millions of years. I needed to absorb a Nether Pearl every ten thousand years to sustain it. Ten thousand years ago, the last Nether Pearl was used up.” The Chaos Divine Dragon explained the reason. The Nether Pearl could repair souls. If it hadn’t absorbed Nether Pearls over these millions of years to sustain itself, itssoul
soul would likely have vanished long ago. Hearing this, the Yellow Dragon felt disappointed and finally understood why there were only Sacred Fruits of Heaven and Earth before, with no trace of the Nether Pearl. So that’s why! Does that mean there will never be any Nether Pearls in the Netherworld anymore?! “When mysoul
soul disappears and the Land of Forgetfulness vanishes, the Sacred Fruits of Heaven and Earth and the Nether Pearl naturally can’t exist anymore. I’ve already used up all the Nether Pearls. I have nothing else to give you. Here are over a thousand Sacred Fruits of Heaven and Earth as a gift upon meeting you.” After saying this, the Chaos Divine Dragon’s eyes flashed, and then a storage ring appeared before the Yellow Dragon. The Yellow Dragon took it with one hand and sensed that inside were a small pile of crystal stones resembling white jade. “These are seeds of the Sacred Fruits of Heaven and Earth. Plant them in soil, and they’ll grow into the fruits instantly,” the Chaos Divine Dragon said. The Yellow Dragon nodded.
“You can fuse my left eye, which shows we are fated. Although my Dragon God body was destroyed and my soul annihilated back then, its various parts remained intact. My left eye turned into the Ancestral Dragon Pool of the Luning family, while my right eye was left in hell. The most crucial part, my body, lies deep in the Abyssal Sea of the Netherworld. If you can find all these parts of my Dragon God body and fuse them, though I can’t claim your strength will reach my peak, it will still be greater than that of an ordinary Supreme God!” said the Chaos Dragon.
Greater than an ordinary Supreme God? Huang Long’s mind stirred. As he had suspected, just like the Supreme Gods, there were differences in strength among them.
“However, though your strength is quite good now and your physical body is strong, you can only fuse parts of my Dragon God body such as my right eye and five claws. To fuse my body and dragon head, your strength still needs to improve,” the Chaos Dragon continued.
Huang Long nodded. He naturally understood this. After all, the other party was a Supreme God, not just any one—its body and dragon head, containing most of his dragon power, were beyond Huang Long’s current strength and physical capacity.
“What level of strength do I need to reach to fuse your body and dragon head?” Huang Long asked after pondering for a while.
“At least the strength of the Supreme God in your world,” the Chaos Dragon replied.
“Supreme God?!” Wind-Flame Dragon Lyn, who had been listening, was shocked. It was well known among the gods that one had to fuse the Supreme God essence to become a Supreme God, and there were only 117 such essences in total—no more. For Huang Long to become a Supreme God, there was only one possibility: one of the existing Supreme Gods had to perish.
“Kid, why so surprised?” The Chaos Dragon glanced at Wind-Flame Dragon Lyn. “By then, even if Huang Long hasn’t fused the Supreme God essence, his strength won’t be inferior to that of a Supreme God after fusing all the other parts of my body!”
There are always exceptions. The Supreme God essence is just another means to enhance strength, and the effects of the Chaos Dragon’s Dragon God body are no less powerful than it.
“What do you need me to do then?” Huang Long asked after a while.
Although fusing the other party’s body would greatly boost his strength, allowing him not only to restore his past strength but possibly even reaching the peak of the early Quasi-Saint stage, Huang Long wasn’t blinded by this surprise. It was similar to what had happened with Angus on the Gods’ Continent back then.
But the Chaos Dragon shook its head. “I don’t need you to do anything.”
This time, it was Huang Long’s turn to be surprised. “Don’t need anything?!” Could such good fortune really exist?
“Actually, my only wish over these many years has been to find someone who can merge with my bloodline and inherit it. Now, I’m already very relieved to have met such a person before my remaining soul dissipates,” sighed the Chaos Dragon.
The Yellow Dragon remained silent.
“Although I also hope that one day you’ll help me kill my enemies, but…” At this, the Chaos Dragon shook its head. “Even if you merge all of my dragon godly essence later, you won’t have the strength to inherit the bloodline. Due to personal limitations, you won’t reach the strength I had at my peak.” The Chaos Dragon continued slowly, “Only by reaching my peak strength can you possibly avenge me.”
“Since you won’t be able to avenge me then, the fact that you can inherit my bloodline is already my greatest wish.”
The Chaos Dragon’s voice echoed slowly through the starry sky.
An indescribable sadness flowed through the stars.
“Greg,” after a while, the Chaos Dragon turned to the colorful coiled dragon beside it.
“Here, master!” Greg, the colorful coiled dragon, quickly replied respectfully.
“From now on, the Yellow Dragon will be your new master. Do you understand?” The Chaos Dragon’s voice rose, its pressure overwhelming.
Greg trembled and replied in panic, “Yes, master. Greg understands.”
The Chaos Dragon nodded. With so many eras passing, Greg’s loyalty was naturally unshakable.
“Yellow Dragon, Greg stayed in the Nether Sea all these years to protect my body. After so many eras, he has now become a powerful sea king in the Nether Sea. He will continue to protect my body until you merge with it. So, before you merge with my body, he won’t follow you,” the Chaos Dragon said, turning to the Yellow Dragon.
What the Chaos Dragon meant was that when the Yellow Dragon went to the underworld to merge with its right eye and other parts, Greg wouldn’t be able to help it at all.
The Yellow Dragon wasn’t concerned about this. Having a powerful being by its side was nice, but it wasn’t essential for it.
At that moment, the dragon shadow formed from the Chaos Dragon’s remaining soul flickered, like a flame about to be blown out by the wind.
The Yellow Dragon knew that the Chaos Dragon’s remaining soul was about to dissipate.
However, it could do nothing about it. Even Pangu’s divine powers were insufficient to save a soul that had been depleted over more than a thousand eras.
Knowing it was about to vanish, the Chaos Dragon gave some final instructions to Greg, mainly about how to assist the Yellow Dragon after it merged with its body.
Finally, under the watchful eyes of Huang Long and the others, the remaining soul of the Chaos Divine Dragon gradually disappeared, until not a trace of it was left. Thus, after more than a thousand years, the life of the Chaos Divine Dragon came to an end. With the Chaos Divine Dragon dead, Huang Long also stayed no longer and emerged from the alternate space. “Let’s go,” he said to the Seven-Colored Coiling Dragon after coming out of the alternate space, riding on the Wind-Flame Dragon Qilin.
