The Strongest Dragon in the Era of Beast Taming

Chapter 693: Chapter 687: The Last Emperor Flame

“`

“Here it comes!”

In the deepest part of the Demise Relic, the sealed Dragon of the End slowly opened its terrifying dragon eyes.

“The bloodline of the Pure Blood of Doom, I have finally waited for you!”

At the same time, Lilith Hoyle’s expression changed slightly as she looked up towards the Lava River where the aura had suddenly shifted.

Noticing the change in their teacher, the expressions of David Jones and Rosalind Louise also became serious in an instant.

“Grau, you don’t need to intervene in the upcoming battle. Pay more attention to taking care of the junior brother and sister,” Lilith reminded.

“No problem,” Grau nodded earnestly.

At this moment, as they drew closer to the Lava River, the dragon-wielding power in David Jones’s Origin Star Space began to stir restlessly, as if it was alerting him to the terrifying Emperor Dragon lurking ahead.

“Mew!”

David Jones looked down to find that Daphne in his arms was not in a normal state.

Daphne, as a fire elemental pet, was an expert at controlling temperature and flames. Now her body was slightly feverish, and her limbs even began to shake involuntarily.

“What’s wrong?” David Jones asked with concern.

“Meow!” (“That dragon is looking at me!”)

Daphne raised her paw in front of herself as if to shield from that excessively greedy gaze.

Just then, David Jones and the others crossed the last part of the Lava River and arrived at the sealing site of the Dragon of the End.

“Gululu.”

At the sight of the true face of the Dragon of the End, David Jones couldn’t help but swallow.

The reason was simple: the terror exuded by the presence of this Extreme Emperor Dragon made David Jones’s heart almost leap out.

How to put it, mere words simply couldn’t capture the magnificence of the Dragon of the End before him, especially that ancient dragon presence, which, despite David Jones’s dragon affinity from King’s Dance of Dragons, still instilled a trace of fear in him.

“Is the gap between an Emperor Dragon and an Extreme Emperor Dragon that big? Or was I too weak back then to appreciate the grandeur of the Abyss Dragonemperor?”

“No, that’s not right. Even though Grau has successfully broken through to Class VIII Emperor, compared to this Dragon of the End, the gap is still vast; they’re not even on the same dimension, honestly!” David Jones subconsciously hugged Rainbow and Daphne tighter.

“Buzz!”

The Chaos Emperor Blade in the mouth of the Gluttonous Beast hummed softly.

“What a pity, if the Sword Master were stronger, slaying this Emperor Dragon and draining its dragon blood would have likely allowed me to return to the Nine Refined Realm,” Azr expressed a hint of regret in his eyes.

Currently, the Chaos Emperor Blade had two ways to become stronger: the first was to strengthen with a Dragon Crystal, focusing on a gradual progress with a solid foundation, but there was a downside—the transformation took far too long.

The second, of course, was through dragon-slaying, by tempering the sword with dragon blood for a rapid increase in strength.

Obviously, this method also had its drawback: progressing too quickly could result in such an accumulation of resentful and fierce energies within the blade that it would have difficulty withstanding the Immortal Thunder Tribulation.

The last Sword Master that Azr had served chose the second method and failed in the end.

Now, it wanted to try the first method, otherwise, it would not have submitted itself to a mere King-level Trainer.

In plain words, to Azr, as long as there was hope in the future, it didn’t mind the pace; after all, the Chaos Emperor Blade was not limited by human lifespans.

“It’s nothing but a mystified Extreme Fire Dragon that’s been sealed—give me a hundred Dragon Crystals, and I guarantee it won’t harm even a single hair on you,” Azr’s voice echoed in David Jones’s mind.

“A hundred Dragon Crystals, you really know how to ask for the moon!”

Upon hearing this, David Jones instantly calmed down.

“`

Strengthening the Dragon Crystals was not so simple; at least, he could not produce a hundred Senior Dragon Crystals now.

“If not possible, even fifty would do. Think about it, the other party is a Semi-Immortal Emperor Dragon after all, a mighty being from the same era as my prime. If it weren’t greatly weakened by the seal, even five hundred or a thousand Dragon Crystals would be useless.”

Azr was beating around the bush, trying to find out about David Jones’s stock of Dragon Crystals.

“Buzz off.”

David Jones ignored Azr, who only had eyes for Dragon Crystals.

During this time, Azr shattered his fixed image of a Sword Spirit, everything about a sword’s courage, taking the straight path rather than seeking the twisted paths—all lies; the love for money was real!

“Not bad,” Lilith Hoyle said as her gaze swept across the faces of David Jones and Rosalind Louise.

She could have withstood the dragon’s overpowering presence, but she didn’t, all to test the capacity of her disciples.

She was very pleased with David Jones’s performance.

To break free from the Emperor Dragon Domination’s shock in only 0.05 seconds, her treasured disciple indeed possessed the makings of a legend.

As for Rosalind Louise’s performance, it was somewhat lacking; she actually fell into a full five seconds of mental stasis, forcing her to intervene and neutralize the Dragon Domination.

“Roar!”

The Dragon of the End, restrained by six Dragon Locking Chains but with its imposing aura unaffected, turned its head towards David Jones, no, to be precise, towards Daphne in David Jones’s arms.

Feeling the connection of bloodline, the End Emperor Dragon excitedly stretched its huge mouth open, and the dripping dragon saliva instantly transformed the boiling Lava River below into an even hotter flame hell.

“Come, my child, follow the ancient prophecy, use the bloodline within you to help suppress the will of the Seven Definite Dead Demon!”

As the End Emperor Dragon finished speaking, Rainbow and Gluttonous and the other little ones all looked at Daphne in shock.

“What’s the situation, child?”

Having known about the existence of the Pure Blood of Doom, David Jones had a premonition but always felt there was something off.

If Daphne truly was the child of the End Emperor Dragon, with the Bloodline of the End flowing in her, the Species Level couldn’t possibly be as low as merely Superior.

“You say Daphne is of your bloodline, what evidence do you have?” David Jones retorted.

“No evidence needed,” the End Emperor Dragon looked deeply at David Jones once more, and the Lava River beneath it instantly boiled and expanded as if creating land.

“Meow?” (Swallow Flame?)

Daphne’s gaze revealed confusion just in time.

“Yes, I possess the power to evaporate everything with flames, to create land, and plunge all into ultimate destruction!”

“This power, you also possess it, though now it is very faint within you. Without a doubt, you are the inheritor of the End Emperor Flame, my child,” said the End Emperor Dragon to Daphne.

Although Daphne could also feel a faint bloodline connection, for some reason, it felt an innate disgust for the End Emperor Dragon in the distance, so it turned to look at David Jones.

David Jones glanced at his teacher, who was deep in thought, and said to the fire dragon , “You are sealed here for the purification of demonic thoughts. How is the will of the Seven Definite Dead Demon now?”

The End Emperor Dragon sighed, “The Seven Definite Dead Demon is extremely troublesome, keeping me in a half-mad, half-lucid state. Fortunately, Behemoth Goldsmith anticipated this, sealing me right here with the Six Paths Dragon Locking Circle. Otherwise, I would have long become a minion of the Demon God over the long years.”

Rosalind Louise looked sadly at the Beast statues at the edge of the Lava River and suddenly interrupted.

“Senior, is there any hope for the Amber Dragon?”

Rosalind Louise grew up without her father’s company, raised from childhood by the Sun Ragdoll.

Aside from obtaining the Dragon Egg of Doom, her most important goal in entering the Demise Relic was to save the Amber Dragon.

Even if it couldn’t be saved in the end, she was willing to find its remains.
