“Quote?”
Lu Yu was startled and said, “Didn’t you say the Black Dragon was dead? ‘Lure it out’—that doesn’t sound like something you’d say about a dead dragon, does it?”
Huāng Yǐng covered his mouth and chuckled softly, “Why can’t the ‘Dead Dragon’ be used as bait? Do you know why I didn’t seek help from others, but kept waiting for you instead? That’s exactly the reason.”
“Not because I possess the power of the dragon clan?” Lu Yu said, and even he himself found it amusing. It was too conceited.
“There are quite a few humans who possess the power of the dragon clan. It’s just that some of them don’t have pure power, and some lack sufficient strength. However, as long as they have the dragon clan’s power, with my cultivation, I think they could barely make it through this trial. Even if the people I bring along fail, couldn’t I simply offer a reward and have someone else step in to handle it?”
Listening to Huang Ying’s words, Lu Yu furrowed his brows and asked in a deep voice, “What you need is the power of the Venom Dragon?”
Huang Ying smiled and said, “You guessed it right!”
“Why is it the power of the Poisonous Dragon?” Lu Yu frowned.
The power of the Poisonous Dragon is considered his trump card.
Even now that he has reached the ninth level of Star Soul, his toxic power cannot be ignored!
Although this place is vast, it is not necessarily discovered by other demon lords.
However, Lu Yu still didn’t want to reveal himself!
Huang Ying said, “According to records, this land originally had no Poison Dragon, nor was there a Poison Dragon King among the dragon race. Some believe the Poison Dragon was also a creature born from darkness. My father once came here and tried various methods to lure out the Black Dragon, but all attempts failed. Later, after studying ancient texts, my father came to the conclusion that only another being born from darkness could possibly draw out the Black Dragon. After a long search, he finally determined that only the Poison Dragon was connected to darkness!”
As he spoke, Huanying cast a glance at Lu Yu, looking as if he had done something wrong.
Huang Ying knew Lu Yu’s personality; he disliked being deceived by others.
She was somewhat worried that telling the truth would make Lu Yu angry.
Lu Yu nodded and said, “Alright then. Since you’ve put it that way, just tell me what needs to be done.”
Huang Ying listened, feeling a weight lifted off his shoulders, and laughed in relief. He said, “I need you to use the blood of the Poison Immortal Body to stain this stone tablet red.”
“Bleeding him?” Lu Yu looked at Huang Ying and asked, “Are you sure it will work?”
Huāngyǐng’s face turned slightly red as he said, “It should be useful. This… this is also what my father said.”
“Using me as an experiment?” Lu Yu looked at the stone tablet. If they were going to draw blood, he was afraid they might drain him completely!
Huāngyǐng said helplessly, “I don’t have a choice either. But this is our only hope. If this doesn’t work, I’ll have no choice but to use another dragon corpse.”
“Oh well, I won’t dwell on it anymore,” Lu Yu said helplessly. “Since I’ve already accepted your payment, I’ll naturally help you obtain the dragon corpse. However—”
Lu Yu stared at Huang Ying, his expression serious. “Remember, this is a deal. The poison sac you gave me counts as half. The rest will be revealed once we leave here!”
Huang Ying nodded obediently without any objection.
Following Huang Ying’s instructions, Lu Yu jumped onto the stone tablet.
There, he sat cross-legged, then pressed his fingers together like blades and slashed two wounds between his wrists.
The blood from Lu Yu’s wrist dripped onto Huang Ying’s body and flowed down the stone tablet.
This is a wound he has inflicted upon himself, and it will never heal as long as he refuses to let it.
Vroom!
Inside Lu Yu’s body, it seemed as if a giant dragon was roaring. Endless waves of black qi surged out from his body. This dark energy spread for dozens of zhang, submerging the empty space around the stone tablet.
The Ten-Thousand-Toxin Body has been activated. At this moment, the blood flowing from his body has already turned into a deadly poison.
The vivid crimson blood is now the most toxic substance on this land!
Lu Yu watched from a distance as the desolate shadow’s black aura corroded the very fabric of space it touched, causing the void to twist and contract in agony.
Thick black smoke rose and ascended into the void.
Huang Ying couldn’t help but feel astonished as well! Because a deadly poison capable of corroding even the void itself—what could possibly remain unscathed by such toxicity?
Lu Yu sat atop the stone tablet, blood continuously dripping from his arms, quickly staining half of the tablet red.
There was no unusual activity around the stone tablet!
Huang Ying stood beneath the stone tablet, nervously watching the surroundings for any movement.
Soon, two-thirds of the stone tablet had already been stained red with blood, and some of the blood had pooled into a small puddle beneath the tablet!
Blood was corroding the muddy ground, yet it left no sign of corrosion on the stone tablet.
Lu Yu believed that this stone tablet was also extraordinary!
More blood was seeping through the stone tablet into the soil.
Huang Ying’s pretty face turned slightly pale, her hands clenched into fists as she nervously stared at the ground.
There was no reaction at all!
“Was I wrong?” Huang Ying looked at the ground somewhat disappointedly, not knowing what to do.
Lu Yu didn’t move. Blood gushed like a spring from his wrist, continuously dripping onto the stone tablet.
Even Lu Yu felt a sense of dizziness from the injury caused by such a bleeding wound.
Although blood can be regenerated, the essence and blood within the body may not be replenished in a short period of time.
The aura around Lu Yu began to weaken, and his complexion started to turn pale.
Even a ninth-level Star Soul cannot withstand such consumption.
In just half an hour, the aura around Lu Yu had weakened significantly, as if he had lost his vitality. Even his skin began to dry up.
But, the earth didn’t show the slightest change!
Huang Ying noticed the change in Lu Yu and felt a sharp pain in his heart. He quickly said, “Forget it, perhaps this method was wrong.”
Lu Yu said in a deep voice: “I promised you that I would help you obtain the dragon’s corpse. Since the stone tablet has not yet been stained with blood, I will not stop.”
“No more! If this continues, you might lose your life!” Huang Ying’s eyes turned slightly red.
Lu Yu said coldly, “Don’t waste my blood! I promised you, and I will fulfill it.”
After Lu Yu finished speaking, he closed his eyes and ignored everything around him.
The hundred-meter stone monument was almost completed, with only a small section remaining.
Huang Ying Yin Ya clenched her lower lip tightly, hesitating, her expression turning cold once again.
She put away all her pity, her expression calm as she focused on the surroundings.
She has her own destiny and should not be swayed by certain things.
After coming this far with so much effort, I can’t afford to miss this opportunity!
Lu Yu’s breathing became labored, his skin grew increasingly dry, and his body began to waste away.
The blood beneath the stone tablet had formed a pool of blood over ten meters in diameter!
The last small section took ten minutes.
The entire stone tablet had already been stained red with blood.
The blood pool in front of the stone tablet suddenly let out a thunderous roar, and in an instant, all the blood was sucked underground.
“Roar!”
Above the earth, a sudden, earth-shaking dragon roar pierced the heavens.
The dragon’s roar is filled with violent fury!
As the dragon’s roar echoed, the ground around the stone tablet cracked open.
Numerous gashes, each stretching tens of thousands of feet long, crisscrossed the land, transforming the earth into an endless expanse of chasms.
Bang!
From the rift, dark mist surged forth.
These black gases surged upward like a tsunami, reaching a height of ten thousand zhang before crashing down.
It was as if the Milky Way had poured down, and it would also be a tsunami flood, impacting the void, which rumbled and trembled.
The black gas submerged the colorful light rivers surrounding the land in all directions, engulfing thousands of miles of territory in its dark haze.
“It worked!” Huang Ying couldn’t suppress his joy and cheered, looking excitedly at Lu Yu. Thinking about the long wait, tears streamed down his cheeks uncontrollably.
Huāng Yǐng spread her arms wide, slightly tilting her head upward toward the sky, standing there with closed eyes. Her body seemed like a vortex, drawing in the surrounding darkness from all directions.
Boom—boom—boom—
The surrounding black aura was drawn into the body of Huang Ying like an ocean. Her body absorbed the black energy, and a faint white light was emanating from her.
At this moment, the shadow of the wilderness was like a fairy, her long hair dancing in the air, her breath becoming ethereal, pure.
At the same time, the stone tablet also began to move, continuously rising higher and higher!
This is a dragon’s head.
This dragon’s head extended from the earth, continuously rising higher and higher, until it reached thousands of zhang above the ground, when the dragon’s neck finally came into view.
The scales on this dragon’s body were jet black, gleaming with an eerie, otherworldly luster!
Just as Huang Ying said, in the center of the dragon head, the stone tablet pierced through the dragon bone.
In front of the stone tablet stood a black horn, ten thousand zhang long.
Huang Ying stood at the tip of the unicorn’s horn, exuding an awe-inspiring presence like the master of a mighty dragon.
The dragon’s head lifted from the earth, its eyes opened, and two beams of black light pierced the heavens, trailing tens of thousands of feet of black radiance within the dragon’s lair.
The ground around continued to crack open ceaselessly, and beneath the soil, the dragon’s body writhed, separating from the earth.
This is a black dragon no less than two hundred thousand zhang in length, with each scale larger than a mountain.
This black dragon’s body spews forth an endless surge of black mist, engulfing the earth.
With just a casual movement, it seemed as if a cataclysmic disaster had befallen the world, shattering vast expanses of land and creating one bottomless abyss after another beneath the dragon’s body.
This is merely a dragon corpse; it has been dead for countless tens of thousands of years.
As for Huang Ying, who was sitting atop the dragon’s head, this power had already surpassed that of the Demon Lord by tens of thousands of times.
The black dragon had completely stopped breathing; its eyes, though open, had already lost all signs of life.
As the shadowy figure absorbed the dark light, her body slowly descended, merging with the dragon’s horn.
Then her body continued to sink, completely merging with the unicorn and vanishing.
The wound on Lu Yu’s wrist had already closed when his mission was completed.
Just as he was about to move, he suddenly heard the voice of Huang Ying in his ear say, “Don’t move. I can sense that there is still a trace of the Black Dragon’s remaining memory. But it is shrouded in darkness; I cannot absorb it. I am transmitting it to you now.”
As the voice of Huang Ying in Lu Yu’s ear just vanished, a surge of black mist erupted from beneath the stone tablet and shot directly into Lu Yu’s mind!
The scene before Lu Yu suddenly changed.
He seemed to be in a dark void, where he saw a giant dragon.
How long is this dragon anyway?
Beneath it lay a star, and when compared to the star, it was surprisingly indistinguishable in size!
This giant dragon was entirely gray, its eyes trailing beams of light that swept across the void, as if capable of slicing through the darkness itself.
The darkness around seemed alive, threatening to devour the gray dragon.
However, the gray dragon’s body moved lightly, and the vibrational energy shattered the darkness itself.
What shocked Lu Yu the most was that on top of the gray dragon’s head, a person’s body was fused together with the dragon.
The man’s lower body was fused with a gray dragon, and he stared at him with his bare upper body.
“No, he’s not looking at me, he’s looking at the Black Dragon!”
Lu Yu understood immediately that this was the memory of the Black Dragon.
The gray dragon he saw was none other than the Dragon King, while the man with the red upper body was enveloped in golden light, making his face impossible to discern.
Then, Lu Yu saw something in the man’s palm continuously expanding.
It was a sword, a colossal sword stretching two thousand zhang in length.
The end of the sword handle was the same as the stone tablet.
