Chapter 665: Baptism of Dragon Blood

What the crowd saw was simply astonishing.

Lu Yu and a king stood in the balance, and the Dragon Clan forsook a king, choosing Lu Yu instead!

What does this mean?

The moment the Parasite King vanished, the plains were already in an uproar.

At this moment, another person stepped out of the space. This was a Guardian, equally powerful.

However, when he heard about the events that had occurred not long ago, his face turned extremely pale.

“How could this happen! The Dragon Clan actually values Lu Yu so much that they’re even willing to abandon a king.” The person muttered to himself, feeling defeated.

Because he had also participated in that gambling game.

To become a king’s warrior, whether in terms of talent, wisdom, or any other qualities, one must already be at the very top.

If people like him have been abandoned by the Dragon Clan, then Lu Yu’s potential has not been fully explored.

Or what exactly is Lu Yu’s capability that even the Dragon Clan chose to abandon a king in order to fairly select Lu Yu!

The most powerful and the most talented and promising individuals are now beginning to emerge one after another.

They were all greatly astonished when they heard that Lu Yu had been chosen to directly face the Dragon King in a challenge.

Many people quickly stepped into the teleportation array to participate in the final trial.

This is not only a trial, but also a gamble.

The winner gains wealth worth trillions.

…

Lu Yu was taken to a desert.

This desert resembles the desert of that great battle.

There is only a blazing sun in the sky here.

“What do you mean? Do you really want to fight again?” Lu Yu glanced around and questioned the sky.

Opposite Lu Yu, the towering figure with a metallic sheen over his entire body appeared and said, “You want to make a choice? Then you must demonstrate your strength. Only when all of us Dragon Kings agree will you be qualified to choose.”

“You are the Dragon King?” Lu Yu was greatly astonished.

The aura of this big man doesn’t show even a hint of a king’s presence. If he’s hiding it, he’s doing it exceptionally well.

The tall man said coldly, “That’s right, I am the Dragon King. Iron Dragon King. Among the dragon clan, I possess the strongest offensive power. Even an uncrowned king would be suppressed by me when our strengths are equal.”

Lu Yu was deeply shocked.

From the crystals brought by Chen Jia and others, as well as Heizi and his group, he had already learned some things about the Dragon Clan.

In every era, a king emerges among the Dragon Clan.

And once darkness falls or before the apocalypse tide, the dragon clan will fall into a deep sleep and hide away.

Therefore, it is certain that there is more than one king among the dragon race.

Moreover, the Dragon Clan might also be the place in this world where the highest number of kings have gathered and survived!

Lu Yu understood clearly from the phrase “all dragon kings” in the Han dialect.

Even though he had already heard it from Iron Dragon King himself, he still felt shocked.

A single clan actually has multiple kings coexisting—just how powerful is the Dragon Clan?

Lu Yu took a deep breath and said, “If both parties have the right to choose, then shouldn’t I also have the opportunity to meet the Dragon Kings and see if any of them would satisfy me?”

Lu Yu is quite bold.

This is being so bold and unapologetic, even when fully aware that there will be several Dragon Kings in the digital realm.

If it were in that space just now, people would have been scared out of their wits by now.

The Iron Dragon King was taken aback, then burst into laughter and said, “Alright. If you want to see it so much, then I’ll show it to you.”

The Iron Dragon King leaped toward the sky, and his body instantly expanded.

“Roar!”

A dragon’s roar shook the heavens, as a colossal dragon body, hundreds of thousands of feet long, instantly surged into the sky.

The void split open, and a golden dragon extended its massive head from within, saying, “Lu Yu, I believe in you. Don’t disappoint me.”

Jin Long is the main attacker, with the strongest offensive power, whose attack is comparable to a star artifact.

His mere appearance, with dragon breath alone, sprayed countless cracks into the void, like a single strike from a king.

Boom, boom, boom…

The sky split open, and streams of domineering dragon breath emerged from countless dark fissures.

Silver Dragon, Black Dragon, Bronze Dragon…

As many as twelve Dragon Kings revealed their forms.

Twelve streams of dragon’s breath descended from the sky, more terrifying and dreadful than even a falling star river.

The sky suddenly turned dark as twelve dragon bodies, each a million zhang long, thrashed wildly in the air, compressing and disrupting the atmospheric currents.

“Twelve Dragon Kings!” Lu Yu never expected that the Dragon Clan alone would have as many as twelve Dragon Kings.

A king emerges in each era; they reappear through cycles, instilling awe across countless ages.

All twelve Dragon Kings emerged together; they were invincible and could dominate wherever they went.

No, one Dragon King is enough.

No wonder the dragon warrior dared to make such a bold claim that there was no King Zun in their era.

When both Dragon Kings emerge together, they can destroy any enemy!

“The Dragon Clan, this is truly the Dragon Clan.” Even though Lu Yu was somewhat prepared, witnessing twelve colossal dragons, each millions of meters long, soaring and dancing across the sky left him utterly astonished.

Twelve dragon king’s auras pressed down, even a warrior with the strength of ten thousand would be unable to withstand and would shatter.

These are twelve Dragon Kings who have not yet regained their peak strength.

The Black Dragon said, “Lu Yu, now that all twelve of us Dragon Kings have fully revealed ourselves, what do you think?”

The voice of the Black Dragon rumbled like thunder cascading from the sky, shaking the desert and stirring up a sandstorm.

“Bone Dragon, Destroyer King Dragon, Golden Dragon, Silver Dragon…” Lu Yu looked at each one, calling out their names, but finally shook his head and said, “Although you are Dragon Kings, immensely powerful beings…”

“What, there’s a ‘but’?” the bone dragon interrupted Lu Yu angrily. “Lu Yu, are you saying we’re not qualified?”

“I have already obtained all of your powers. What I want is the strongest and most unique Dragon King,” Lu Yu said solemnly. “If none of you Dragon Kings can provide the power I desire, I would rather choose a mutated dragon from the common dragon race.”

“What!”

The twelve Dragon Kings, upon hearing Lu Yu’s claim that they were not special enough, simultaneously let out mighty roars.

What Lu Yu did was almost an insult to their dignity.

As a king, he was actually told that he was not strong enough or special enough.

Each of their kings is a mighty ruler with unique abilities, and every kind of ability represents an ultimate power within the dragon race.

This still cannot make Lu Yu take notice.

The bronze dragon roared furiously, its massive body already descending towards the desert as it shouted, “Lu Yu, have you come here to cause trouble?”

“Disrupting? Do you think I’m here to disrupt things?” Lu Yu released his demonic aura.

The demonic aura shimmered and spread, covering dozens of miles across the desert in an instant.

“Roar, roar——”

More than ten shadows of dragon kings appeared within Lu Yu’s body.

Ten毒龙 each ten thousand zhang long, with the other seven being the Destroyer King Dragon, the Silver Dragon, the Black Dragon, the Bone Dragon, the Iron Dragon, the Bronze Dragon, and the Two-Headed Hell Dragon…

Although these giant dragons were not as powerful as the Dragon King, who was hundreds of thousands of feet in size, they were still the most unique group of warriors among the dragon race.

The Demon Ancestor devoured countless dragon corpses to cultivate the Dragon Transformation, but among them were only incomplete dragon species such as Silver Dragons, Black Dragons, Bone Dragons, Iron Dragons, Bronze Dragons, and Two-Headed Demonic Dragons. Therefore, no matter how much Lu Yu devoured, in the end he could only evolve these few Demonic Dragons.

The Destroyer Dragon and the Poison Dragon were both found by Lu Yu himself.

Seventeen colossal dragons, each a thousand zhang long, thrashed wildly in the air. Though their auras were not as mighty as the Dragon King’s, they were still equally formidable.

The aura emanating from these dragons was actually the same as Lu Yu’s, having surpassed the Ten Thousand Sovereigns, possessing formidable strength of over seventeen thousand sovereigns.

Lu Yu stood in the midst of the demonic aura, his long hair wildly disheveled, as he coldly asked, “Is this answer sufficient?”

The twelve dragon kings were greatly astonished, especially the ten venomous dragons. This was simply incredible.

Even after experiencing the apocalypse tide, they had never seen a warrior with so many toxic dragons.

All of these Dark Dragons have not yet fully matured, and each possesses the same limitless power of evolution as Lu Yu. This is truly terrifying.

All the Dragon Kings fell silent.

These Dark Dragons grew up alongside Lu Yu, and in the future, their combined strength will be enough to rival two Dragon Kings.

The twelve dragon kings’ eyes met, and their unique dragon soul communication had already reached a conclusion.

The Trial of the Dragon Clan is designed to select the most worthy Dragon Knight for the Dragon Warriors.

As for the Dragon Kings, they are the kings of the dragon race.

Being qualified to gain their recognition doesn’t necessarily mean passing a trial.

In fact, just being the “uncrowned king” is more than enough.

The Dragon Kings had been watching Lu Yu’s trials all along, eager to see just how much potential he truly possessed.

The Destroying King Dragon said, “No other qualifications are needed. With your abilities alone, you have already earned our recognition!”

“The Dragon Clan indeed still has a Dragon King who has not yet appeared, and you truly have the qualifications to challenge it!”

Golden Dragon said, “That’s right, the Three-Eyed Blazing Sun Dragon. He is the strongest king among our dragon race.”

When mentioning the name of the Three-Eyed Blazing Sun Dragon, the expressions of the various Dragon Kings involuntarily turned solemn.

“Three-eyed Flame Dragon!” Lu Yu suddenly thought of the three blazing suns in the Trial Space!

Lu Yu exclaimed in shock: “The three blazing suns in the Trial Space are actually the three eyes of the Dragon King!”

The Fire Dragon King said, “That’s right. The Three-Eyed Blazing Sun Dragon is the mightiest king of our dragon race. He was born with an extra eye and, originally a member of the Fire Dragon Clan, surpassed us all to become the strongest king among dragons.”

“Okay, I’ll choose the Three-Eyed Blazing Dragon!” Lu Yu made his decision with a flicker of determination in his heart.

With just the power of those three blazing suns instantly searing through his eyes, that was more than enough.

His eyes, now impervious even to the flames of hell, could not withstand a beam of light shot down from the heavens by a Dragon King, countless kilometers away.

Beyond the scorching heat and intense flames of the Hellfire Essence, combined with the recognition from dragon kings like the Fire Dragon King as the strongest—that was exactly what he desired.

The Destroying King Dragon laughed loudly and said, “Lu Yu, you’re too confident. You haven’t even passed the final trial of becoming a Dragon Knight yet. Don’t forget what we’ve said: becoming a Dragon Knight isn’t about who you choose, but who we choose. The Three-Eyed Dragon King is the most powerful, and you must demonstrate sufficient ability to gain his recognition.”

Lu Yu said confidently, “Since I dared to choose, I have the confidence. Tell me, what is the trial of this final stage?”

“The final trial, the Dragon Blood Baptism!” Two blazing suns blinked open on either side of the radiant sun in the sky.

That is not the scorching sun, but the eye of the dragon.

Lu Yu’s eyes were instantly seared as he raised his head.

The power of the Three-Eyed Dragon King is beyond description.

The voice from the sky continued: “The Dragon Blood Baptism will infuse your blood with the power of dragons. If you succeed, you can become a Dragon Knight. If you fail, you will become one of us, losing your human form and transforming into a dragon forever. Lu Yu, do you dare?”
