Chapter 658: Devouring the Poison Dragon Fruit Again

The crystal box that Feng Huang took out was only the size of a palm, and inside it lay a gray scale about the size of a palm as well.

These scales were extremely unique; above them, a dragon’s shadow could be faintly seen moving as if a dragon were sealed within the scales themselves.

Especially astonishing was the distinct aura of destruction upon the scales, resembling sharp blades cutting through the surroundings, causing the air around the box to become distorted.

“Reverse Scale!” Lu Yu was greatly surprised, frowning as he gazed intently at the scale.

This is the dragon’s inverted scale, growing beneath the dragon’s neck; it is the place that is truly untouchable.

Using a reversed scale as a special invitation demonstrated the Dragon Clan’s high regard for him.

If such a small piece of逆鳞 had appeared at the very beginning of the apocalypse, it would undoubtedly have been a formidable weapon capable of wreaking havoc and dominating all corners.

Even the ripples of light on these scales could instantly kill a Star Lord.

Lu Yu looked at the scale and said, “The scale of the Dragon King of Destruction!”

This was all too familiar to him.

The gray dragon skeleton in the dragon’s nest, and the destructive Wanglong born in the demon’s nest, both have fluctuations very similar to this one.

Yang Lie said, “A warrior sent by the Dragon Clan came to inform us that in three months, a door will open on the surface of the Pacific Ocean. It will remain open for three hours, and only those who enter during that time will be qualified for the next test.”

“In three months, as long as the soldiers in Fanggang are capable, they can all participate in the test,” Lu Yu said, putting away the dragon scale.

“Okay!”

Everyone in the core area of Fanggang City cheered together.

The cheers spread rapidly from the core area to Fanggang.

Someone in Fanggang City cried out in alarm: “What? Is Fanggang going to mobilize all its forces?”

“Light alone has dozens of unrivaled champions. Add Lu Yu and those powerful warriors into the mix—what will this trial turn into this time?”

“All the powerful experts from various factions will definitely not miss this opportunity.”

“Even the Dragon King is willing to become a mount; who could be so fortunate?”

This is not only the case in Fanggang, but also true throughout the world.

All major organizations and various countries are mobilizing their forces, creating an atmosphere of intense tension.

Within the four and nine cities, two strands of royal sovereign qi arose, their oppressive and heaven-defying aura shocking the entire Huaxia.

Someone exclaimed in astonishment, “This is the power of Wang Zun!”

What is the Chinese military trying to do?

Once, the auras of two kings appeared, both emerging within the military camp.

“Two Kings’ auras appearing in the Si Jiu City at once—does this indicate the stance of the Chinese military this time?”

Boom.

At this moment, as if responding to a call, the auras of the Rebirth King Monarch and the Howling Slaughter King Monarch began to rise from their respective cities.

Boom—boom—boom—

In Tokyo, within the abyss where the King of Serpents resided, another King’s Supreme Qi began to rise.

On a small island, Wang Zun’s aura was outrageously violent.

In the midst of a primeval forest, icy coldness surged straight up into the heavens.

The whole world was in an uproar.

All factions could no longer stay still.

These auras are all from Wang Zun.

This is not only the howling king’s respect and the rebirth king’s respect; even outside the hell king’s respect, several other never-before-seen auras have also appeared.

All the soldiers felt the pressure.

These kings must have appeared for the sake of the Dragon King.

Do they have a chance to compete with Wang Zun?

No faction dared to show any negligence, and every soldier wore an expression as grave as if they were facing a battle for life and death.

The message passed down from the Dragon Clan is that strength is not everything when it comes to becoming a Dragon Knight.

The dragon clan’s test is to select the most worthy individual, not necessarily the strongest.

The special invitations have already been sent out, with only thirty-six in total worldwide.

The gift that each person received from the Dragon Clan was actually the inverted scale of the Destroying King Dragon.

Humans who possess the Dragon’s Reversing Scale can bypass the initial test, as it signifies the Dragon Clan’s recognition of their abilities.

“Who is it? Who is so lucky to have received a special invitation?”

“Destroying the inverted scale of the Dragon King Long, I’ve heard that the one mentioned is none other than the fifth dragon of the dragon clan.”

“I know that Lu Yu from Fanggang has received one.”

“The Reincarnation King has obtained one.”

“The Xiao Sha Wang Zun also has…”

“…”

Every person who has obtained the Dragon’s Scale is the strongest in this world.

Everyone’s hair stood on end, and when they heard the name of the Scale of Inversion’s owner, they felt an immense sense of pressure.

Lu Yu, Wang Zun, which one is easier to deal with?

Some even said in frustration, “Lu Yu is the uncrowned king; who can rival his talent?”

If this is a test of talent, then Lu Yu would surely be the first, and no one else could claim the second place.

Even the talent of a king cannot surpass that of the King of Unrivaled.

Everyone focused all their attention on improving their own strength, and conflicts around the world disappeared.

All sorts of items that enhance one’s strength have seen skyrocketing prices, especially the evolution pills and evolution fluids used for harbor defense, which have increased dramatically in price.

Liu Xingle’s mouth was left wide open.

Nowadays, he only cares about money; nothing else has anything to do with him.

The changes in the outside world had nothing to do with Lu Yu.

Even if one does not become a dragon knight, improvement is still necessary.

All of Lu Yu’s focus was on cultivation; he didn’t want to waste a single moment.

Lu Yu first completely absorbed the nine vials of Poison Dragon Souls in the starry sky.

Within the demonic nest, nine more strands of unformed dragon-like energy emerged.

Congratulations, mighty至尊, your魔巢 has absorbed a vast amount of dragon族 life and has evolved on its own.

From now on, every dragon corpse and soul you devour will spontaneously transform into a dragon within your demonic nest, fighting for you.

However, please note that each time you evolve or give birth to a new Dragon King, you will require more life force.

“Evolved?” Lu Yu was slightly taken aback.

His Dragon King power originates from the Demon Ancestor. It was only after evolving and absorbing the Poison Dragon’s soul and the Dragon King’s corpse that two powerful Demon Dragons were born.

Moreover, every time a Dragon of Chaos is born, countless lives are devoured without anyone knowing exactly how many.

After the destruction of the Dragon Kings of Ruin and the Poison Dragons, the aura of the dragon race within the Devil’s Nest has become very weak, as if it were no longer possible for dragons to be born again.

Originally, he was still worried that the life of the Demon Nest would end here, but this was absolutely unworthy of a King-tier skill.

However, it seems he no longer needs to worry at all now, or perhaps it was due to merging the Demon Ancestor’s kingship skill with ordinary human skills, which initially weakened his abilities, but those abilities have now been restored.

Lu Yu carefully read the words in front of him, then without hesitation, he ate both Dragon Fruits.

Evolve, and evolve again!

Lu Yu couldn’t see the limit of the venomous dragon’s evolution, so he kept pushing it forward, making the dragon even more poisonous.

Two Poisonous Dragon Fruits entered his body, and instantly an endless wave of black qi surged out, like an infinite ocean, compressing the starlight in the starry sky to the point where it trembled continuously.

At least ten thousand zhang of diameter of the void were submerged by the black ocean.

Kun and the ten geniuses of the One-Eyed Clan were even more astonished.

Because this was the first time they had ever seen Lu Yu unleash one of his abilities.

“This isn’t the power of the Poison Dragon Transformation; this force far exceeds that of the Poison Dragon.”

“Did I see it right? Is this poison?”

“I’ve seen the power of the毒龙, and it’s never been this strong. This venom surpasses that of the毒龙. Evolution—only through evolution is this possible.”

“Frightening human. To possess such formidable toxicity as a Guardian, this is the power to slay kings.”

Everyone was shocked by the poison surging out from within Lu Yu’s body.

If it weren’t for Lu Yu controlling the toxicity, they would have been overwhelmed by these poisons long ago.

The Dragon King’s level exceeds calculation; it is beyond estimation.

The effect of the Dragon Fruit can no longer be stacked!

The flickering vision before Lu Yu’s eyes startled him greatly. He murmured to himself in dismay: Has it already become ineffective?

Lu Yu could feel the two dark forces within his body expanding, releasing the immense energy from the Venomous Dragon Fruit.

If these forces cannot be absorbed, they will all be wasted.

Lu Yu’s thoughts flashed like lightning. Before he could react, these forces were already being absorbed by his cells.

“Hisss.”

Lu Yu never expected such a situation. Before he could even react, one percent of his energy had already been devoured.

Lu Yu didn’t realize that over the years, he had continuously used Golden Beast Blood to temper his body, constantly pushing himself to the limit in the Beast Plains, striving for breakthroughs.

Before I realized it, the cells in my body had gradually adapted to this kind of exploitation.

When incompatible energy appears within his body, it will automatically begin to consume and assimilate it.

Lu Yu himself already possessed an anti-toxin ability, so the energy released by the Venom Dragon Fruit could not harm his body at all.

The immense toxicity within the Poison Dragon Fruit is being engulfed by his cells.

Boom—boom—boom—

Inside Lu Yu, it was as if thousands of war drums were being struck simultaneously, each blow shaking the starry sky ceaselessly.

The vast ocean of toxins outside Lu Yu’s body was swirling and being drawn into him.

Every cell in his body was devouring the toxic gas, like countless powerful bottomless pits compressing the poison into his body.

Lu Yu’s bones made a series of cracking sounds.

“Another evolution,” Lu Yu couldn’t help but exclaim in surprise.

This time, the autonomous act of his body devouring something was actually causing changes within him.

Within less than two hours, all the power of the Poison Dragon Fruit had been completely consumed.

His body seemed to be engulfed in black, toxic flames, with each pore on his skin spewing out jets of black fire.

The sound of the war drums beating within him gradually faded away, until it was reduced to nothingness.

The forced evolution of the Poison Dragon King’s power has begun, with an estimated completion time of seventy-two hours!

The Poison Dragon King’s level was originally beyond calculation and could not be displayed.

Even the power of the Poison Dragon King seemed to have reached its limit, with all numerical displays gone.

Now, Lu Yu forcefully swallowed the two Venomous Dragon Fruits, and unexpectedly, the power of the Venomous Dragon King began to undergo a forced evolution.

Kun stared at Lu Yu in astonishment and said, “You actually… you actually possess the power of the Poisonous Dragon!”

He didn’t know Lu Yu very well, but they became partners after hitting it off at first meeting.

He had never inquired about Lu Yu’s power, nor had he imagined that Lu Yu’s strength could be so formidable.

Another one-eyed man said, “It seems this isn’t even the full power of the Poisonous Dragon. Your strength has long surpassed that of a Poisonous Dragon. Back then, Leader Wang led us in a fierce battle against a Poisonous Dragon, and we suffered heavy losses—yet still couldn’t defeat it. Armor worth tens of millions was destroyed, but even that Poisonous Dragon’s might couldn’t compare to yours.”

“After obtaining the Poison Dragon’s power, I once consumed two Poison Dragon Fruits, which allowed me to evolve the Poison Dragon’s power once.”

“Oh, I see,” said Kun and the others, suddenly understanding.

It’s truly surpassed the poisonous dragon.

After swallowing two Poison Dragon Fruits at once, Lu Yu’s luck was simply incredible.

To actually obtain these two abilities with the most powerful enhanced toxicity effects.

In the following three days, Lu Yu was waiting for the result of the forced evolution of the Poisonous Dragon King’s power.

There are still two and a half months until the Dragon Clan’s trial, and he still has a huge debt to settle with the Nine Gates of the City.

It took three days to produce one hundred pieces of armor, each with a defense value of eight hundred thousand.

If he was taken advantage of before, now he’s doing it willingly.

Day Three —

A faint dragon’s roar emanated from Lu Yu’s body, and countless shadows of venomous dragons coiled around his form.
