Dragon Tamer

Chapter 582: Chapter 584: Annihilation of the Azure Lightning
 

“So, this grace cannot be obtained continuously; it’s probably like a slowly flowing heavenly spring that needs to be patiently awaited for a while before it bestows its gifts… The increase in strength of the Absolute Ridge Chengbang is probably because every time the Time Wave strikes, this grace is filled.” Zhu Minglang said.

As these words were spoken, the young Mingji ran out of the Stone Hall, looking utterly dispirited.

Although this guy came from the so-called previous batch, it was clear he wasn’t particularly cunning. His current dismay and anger didn’t seem feigned, which made Zhu Minglang discard the idea of extorting him.

“What did you guys get, what exactly did you receive!” Young Mingji demanded excitedly.

“Nothing much, I just heard a god who resides on the Other Side of the Starry Sky whisper into my ear sincerely, ‘This child is extraordinary, and he will surely shine across all heavens and realms and be revered by all.'” Zhu Minglang said.

“You’re full of shit. One of you two definitely received the True God’s blessing. I have calculated the timing; just around this point in time, no one else has stepped in there but you two!” Mingji said.

“Are you done?” Zhu Minglang asked.

“No!” Just as Mingji’s anger reached its peak, a familiar slap came flying and landed on his cheek that had only recently stopped swelling.

Mingji staggered a few steps from the slap.

“You are the kind of person who lacks discipline. You don’t need me to teach you how to speak properly, do you? If you irritate me even a little bit, you know what the consequences will be!” Zhu Minglang said with a cold snort.

If it had been anyone else treating Mingji like this, he would have lunged at them and fought to the death long ago. But when he recalled that he no longer had his life-saving armor, and that the person before him was indeed a demon lord, Mingji swallowed his irritation and pride.

“Give me the grace that you received. I swear on the honor of the Ming God Clan that I can ensure you will hold dominion over the Supreme Court Courtyard Continent!” Mingji seemed to desperately crave that True God’s grace.

“I have already told you everything you need to know; we didn’t receive anything, so someone must have beaten us to it. Now, think about what treasure you will use to repay me for saving your life. If you don’t have anything decent to offer, then we shall part ways here.” Zhu Minglang said.

“I… I already told you about this grace, isn’t that worth saving my life for?” Mingji asked with wide eyes.

“But Miss Yu So and I didn’t receive anything, we made a trip for nothing,” Zhu Minglang said.

“That’s blatant extortion!” Mingji said through gritted teeth.

“Fine then, to each their own splendid dream. The Absolute Ridge Chengbang is full of tribes who like to eat human flesh raw; I hope you, with your heavenly luck from the Upper Realm, won’t run into any of them on your journey.” After saying this, Zhu Minglang leaped onto the back of the Fire Kilin Dragon, deliberately sitting close to Nan Yuso.

The back of the Fire Kilin Dragon was actually quite broad. Nan Yuso turned to look back, staring fiercely at Zhu Minglang, her expression indicating she wanted Zhu Minglang to fly on his sword instead.

“The Sword Spirit Dragon is too fast and unstable; it’s easy for me to have an accident. It’s more comfortable riding this Fire Kilin Dragon, so majestic and fitting for a Dragon Herding Sanctifier!” Zhu Minglang had a thick skin, ignoring the young lady’s expression and stubbornly staying on the back of the Fire Kilin Dragon.

“Don’t leave me behind, don’t leave me behind!” Mingji was on the verge of tears, especially after seeing the Earth Garden littered with corpses and those disgusting Earth Demon Worms, a land thoroughly cursed.

“We’re not your parents; we have no obligation to look after your tactless self.” After saying these words, Zhu Minglang quickly added, “Miss Yu So, please don’t misunderstand. That was just a figure of speech; I wasn’t implying that we’re husband and wife. Don’t overthink it.”

“Get off!!” Nan Yuso couldn’t take it anymore.

It was bad enough that he’d hitched a ride on her dragon, but to take advantage of her and then tell her not to overthink it!!

“Look, can either of you help me by escorting me with this item?” The expression on Mingji’s face was as agonizing as if he had cut off his own hand—utterly pained and extremely difficult.

Seeing him like this, Zhu Minglang knew that what he was about to show must be a treasure.

Using extortion as a cover for the recent flirtations he directed at his younger aunt, Zhu Minglang found that Mingji had taken out a Magic Artifact but had no idea of its use.

“This Magic Artifact can contain Juvenile Spirits. Both of you are Dragon Shepherds, so naturally, you would need it, and it has a cultivation boost of about ten times,” Mingji said.

“Your life doesn’t seem to be worth much, does it, for just such an ordinary Magic Artifact…” While Zhu Minglang was saying this, he still pocketed the Magic Artifact. Glancing at the almost weeping arrogant young man, Zhu Minglang put on a reluctant act and said, “Fine, I’ll forget the past and escort you for a leg of your journey.”

Mingji was elated and hurriedly followed behind the Fire Kilin Dragon’s tail.

Riding on it was unlikely, but as someone from the Upper Realm, he should at least be able to keep up with a dragon’s tail, right?

…

This Mingji indeed didn’t offer much help to Zhu Minglang.

However, the Divine Grace he mentioned just now should be correct.

Li Xinghua, when making her predictions and deductions, specifically instructed Zhu Minglang and Nan Yuso to make their way to these ancient relics before this time.

That is to say, the Divine Grace was to manifest the moment they entered the Earth Garden. Otherwise, Absolute Ridge Chengbang would not have let a powerful Ground Immortal Ghost and a Yin Spirit Master Old Slave guard this place to the death.

The strength of the Ground Immortal Ghost and the Yin Spirit Master Old Slave is far from simple. That group of archers from the Great Zhou Clan, along with several elders of quasi-King-Level strength, all died at their hands. If Zhu Minglang hadn’t spent all his money to buy Void Crystals, allowing the Heavenly Slaughter Dragon to advance to Middle-level King Level, they really wouldn’t have been able to overcome the Ground Immortal Ghost and the Yin Spirit Master Old Slave.

In fact, the Ground Immortal Ghost should be much harder to deal with than the Yin Spirit Master Old Slave. After all, the presence of the Nuwa Dragon deprived the Ground Immortal Ghost of his most powerful Divine Skills. Otherwise, no matter how many came, they’d probably all perish in this Earth Garden.

As for the Divine Grace, Zhu Minglang is now unsure whether it is the Sundial Pearl he received, or the Spirit Egg that has become the Guardian Beast of the Nuwa Dragon. For Zhu Minglang, the greatest blessing is that Bai Qi was able to successfully navigate the degenerative period and awaken!

With Bai Qi, even when facing the unknowns within the World Dragon Gate, Zhu Minglang will have much more confidence.

…

Charging toward the main battlefield, the Fire Kilin Dragon grew increasingly valiant in combat. Its blue flames on its body deepened and flourished. Along the way, Zhu Minglang barely needed to lift a finger; the opposing forces were all resolved by the Fire Kilin Dragon.

The Immortal Rabbit Dragon was healing the Heavenly Slaughter Dragon and Sword Spirit Dragon. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Zhu Minglang fed some blood essence from the Ground Immortal Ghost to the Heavenly Slaughter Dragon, hoping it could recover its combat strength faster.

The Sword Spirit Dragon also returned to Zhu Minglang’s Spirit Realm. Having continuously slain two enemies with King-level strength, the Sword Spirit Dragon too was somewhat weary. This battle was likely to last a very long time, and he needed to let its blade cool down…

“It seems there is a Copper Helmet Army ahead of us, it’s going to be difficult to get past them,” said Nan Yuso, pointing ahead.

“No problem, we have aerial cover, let’s just cut through them,” said Zhu Minglang.

Nan Yuso didn’t think too much about it. With a wave of her hand, the blue flames covering the entire body of the Fire Kilin Dragon grew even more fierce. As it ran, the raging flames danced wildly and dominantly.

When the Fire Kilin Dragon charged into the ranks of the Copper-Helmeted soldiers, these were the soldiers of Absolute Ridge, lacking the ability to transform like the Phantom Giant Ridge General. However, each one of them had a certain level of body cultivation and martial strength. They were numerous and well-equipped. Fifty thousand of these copper-helmeted soldiers could withstand a hundred thousand elite troops from Li Chuan. The battle was extremely fierce; even large Ancient Dragons could be chopped to pieces in an instant on this battlefield!

As the Fire Kilin Dragon entered the fray, it was immediately surrounded by the Absolute Ridge copper-helmeted soldiers. Thick shields formed a rampart that even a Dragon King like the Fire Kilin Dragon found difficult to step forward.

“Turn them to ash!” Zhu Minglang suddenly shouted.

At that moment, a pair of blue wings covered the sky above the battlefield. Although the dragon was not immense in size, its approach brought a suffocating feeling to everyone.

“Sssssss!!!!!!”

Blue lightning tore through the air. Chains of terror, like Heavenly Whips, danced above the heads of all the copper-helmeted soldiers. Accompanied by the loud cry of a dragon, the blue lightning viciously struck down, lashing the fifty thousand soldiers!!

The well-equipped soldiers with martial prowess stood no chance against it. Anyone who came into contact with the blue lightning was instantly turned into a pulp of blood and flesh; their copper armors provided no protection whatsoever!

Thousands of soldiers were annihilated in this storm of heavenly thunder. Even if a large number survived on the battlefield, their souls were trembling. Some Dragon Beasts might really be no different than wild beasts under their skillful slaying, but for Dragon Kings such as the Azure Phoenix, it’s like they faced the God of Death!!

“Is this Little Qingzhuo??” Nan Yuso could hardly believe it, her sexy mouth involuntarily open in shock.

Wasn’t this the same Disabled Dragon she once jokingly offered to gift Zhu Minglang?

Under normal circumstances, it would have been difficult for this Little Green Saint Dragon to reach Monarch Level. Now, it had not only escaped the fate of being a Disabled Dragon but had also ascended as the supremely powerful Azure Thunder Dragon King in this battle of Absolute Ridge!!

This was two levels stronger than the Fire Kilin Dragon!

“It’s all thanks to the Ten Thousand Years Silver Fir Holy Dew from your Nan Family. Otherwise, it might have perished in the thunder seed atop Horned Mountain,” said Zhu Minglang.

The Ten Thousand Years Silver Fir Holy Dew was highly compatible with Little Qingzhuo’s attributes. During the Ascending Tribulation, Little Qingzhuo barely made it through. Relying solely on Cultivation Fruit to lay the foundation might not have guaranteed ascension.

“Hmph, hypocrite!” Nan Yuso was very dissatisfied with Zhu Minglang’s humility.

This guy must have a special dragon-raising secret method. The realm of the Azure Phoenix Dragon now is not something that can be achieved with just a dose of Ten Thousand Years Silver Fir Holy Dew, especially considering that Zhu Minglang now owns more than just Little Qingzhuo as Dragon Kings!
