Chapter 99: Chapter 70: True Dragon Destiny
"If at this moment, I let the Fox Spirit and the True Dragon’s Resentment suffer mutually assured destruction, and I make my move at the critical moment to kill them both..." Zhang Chen’s eyes flashed with a dangerous glint.
"Boy, don’t you dare have any sneaky thoughts. If you try to betray me now, and I release the True Dragon Skeleton, you won’t survive a single meeting with it before being crushed into meat paste." The Fox Spirit seemed to have sensed Zhang Chen’s sneaky plans, and there was a sneer in its eyes: "At that time, perhaps my body would also be shattered by the True Dragon’s Resentment, but you absolutely wouldn’t survive either."
"You wretched beast, do you underestimate people too much? Am I the kind of person who resorts to underhanded means? Since we agreed to work together, how could I possibly betray you?" Zhang Chen was quick to retort with righteous indignation after having his sneaky intentions exposed by the Fox Spirit, hurling insults and calling the Fox Spirit a beast, while his eyes landed on the Reverse Scale. In his Dharma Eye, the entire remnant soul of the True Dragon was emitting black energy, attached to the skeleton, the entire dragon skeleton flowing with sinister black energy, appearing very frightening.
Zhang Chen no longer hesitated, his hand enveloped in Golden Light, directly pressing toward the Reverse Scale of the True Dragon.
"Woo~"
The True Dragon let out a painful roar, struggling more fiercely, but with the Fox Spirit’s suppression, the True Dragon had no chance to break free. The Fox Spirit’s soul, like a mountain, pressed firmly on the True Dragon Skeleton, allowing the True Spirit to roar and ’flare up’ like a Great Snake struggling, but unable to budge the mountain in the slightest.
Zhang Chen’s Light of the True God was truly domineering, completely countering all soul-type anomalies. Only to see Zhang Chen’s Light of the True God flowing out like water, extending from his body, grandly flowing towards the True Dragon Skeleton.
As the Golden Light flowed through, it constantly clashed with the black Dragon Soul, emitting sizzling sounds like meat hitting hot oil, and then the Golden Light and Dragon Qi continued to collide, with the black Dragon Qi being evaporated, drifting out like smoke and fire, dissipating between Heaven and Earth.
"About one inch of Golden Light can counter ten inches of the Dragon Soul’s black energy." Zhang Chen compared in his heart as he watched the Golden Light extending forward.
As the black smoke continuously rose from the skeleton, dispersing into the air, Zhang Chen seemed to hear angry roars from within the black smoke, which then disappeared into the air like fireworks, no longer visible.
Accompanied by the flowing invasion of the Golden Light, the black Dragon Qi retreated step by step, and even the entire True Dragon Skeleton’s struggling power grew weaker.
With the black smoke retreating and golden light attached, the skeleton was dyed gold, looking exceptionally beautiful.
Seeing the black True Dragon Grudge being relentlessly purified by the Golden Light, the Fox Spirit was overjoyed: "I knew it, the strange method on you definitely could curb this True Dragon’s Resentment, my plan indeed succeeded." The Fox Spirit’s eyes were full of excitement.
Zhang Chen glanced at the Fox Spirit but ignored its words, instead carefully observing the changes in the True Dragon Skeleton. Soon, Zhang Chen noticed the key point: although his Golden Light purified the True Dragon’s grudge, the pure original soul of the True Dragon was not purified; his Golden Light seemed to have no effect on the True Dragon’s Remnant Soul, which was still attached inside the Dragon Bone. Even the Dragon Bone infused with his Golden Light was still attached by the Dragon Soul.
"My Light of the True God can only curb the True Dragon’s Grudge, but not affect the True Dragon Soul itself?" Zhang Chen’s eyes were filled with disbelief. Why doesn’t his Light of the True God affect the True Dragon’s Remnant Soul? It should be known that the Fox Spirit didn’t dare to easily come into contact with his Light of the True God.
Over there, the Fox Spirit seemed to have sensed Zhang Chen’s confusion and explained: "It’s the power of Fortune! The True Dragon Remnant Soul has the protection of Fortune, obviously it won’t fear your light. The True Dragon’s Grudge is a negative thought, naturally within the restraint of your thoughts."
"What exactly is Fortune?" Zhang Chen asked the question in his heart. Previously he thought Fortune was Dragon Qi, but later felt it didn’t quite fit.
"I don’t know! No one can know what Fortune really is, nor how it comes about. Fortune in this world is varied, and any sentient being who obtains it will inevitably receive unimaginable creations." The Fox Spirit said.
While speaking, Zhang Chen’s Light of the True God swept over like a wild tide, where every inch of black Qi mechanism was directly purified and evaporated, leaving only the True Dragon Remnant Soul that acquired Fortune.
Seeing the black Dragon Qi being purified, the pure True Dragon Obsession and Fortune revealed themselves, the Fox Spirit’s eyes sizing up the Dragon Soul with a trace of admiration and a sigh: "What a pity."
"What a pity?" Zhang Chen asked with deep confusion.
"The earthquake cracked open the True Dragon Tomb, causing ninety-nine percent of the True Dragon’s Fortune to leak out, leaving only a sliver. Can you say that’s not a pity? If we had come half a year later, the entire dragon soul and Fortune would have been absorbed by the Power of the Earth Veins to nurture the Walking Flood Dragon of the True Dragon." The Fox Spirit said.
"What use is that remaining sliver of Fortune? Is it really worth such a huge fuss?" Zhang Chen inquired.
"This is Fortune, even if it’s only a sliver, it still has miraculous effects. What do you know, boy?" The Fox Spirit replied irritably.
As they spoke, Zhang Chen’s hand continued to extend with Golden Light over the True Dragon Skeleton, counteracting all evil forces. The black fog continuously evaporated, and eventually, all the black fog on the entire True Dragon Skeleton was cleaned, leaving only a transparent, illusory Dragon Soul attached to the skeleton.
Just as all the black True Dragon Grudge was cleared, suddenly a flash of black light appeared before Zhang Chen’s eyes, and a mass of black radiance dropped from the black True Dragon Grudge.
"A skill! A skill dropped! And it’s a black skill! I’ve never seen a black skill before!" Zhang Chen’s eyes shone with excitement as he looked at the black radiance. This was a black skill dropped from the True Dragon; last time, it was Water Control Technique, so what skill is it this time?
Zhang Chen’s eyes were fixed on that black skill, feeling as though an indescribable aura of death seemed to travel along his gaze, shaking his very soul.
This black skill is extraordinary!
But Zhang Chen didn’t have time to manage the black Dragon Soul at this moment. He turned his attention to the True Dragon’s soul, the transparent and illusory True Dragon Obsession now attached to the True Dragon’s skeleton.
Most crucially, on the True Dragon’s Obsession, there was a dazzling white light spot at the extreme, flickering. It was only the size of a millet grain, but the radiance it emitted seemed brighter than the sun, making it impossible to look directly at it.
"True Dragon Destiny! The True Dragon Destiny is still here, no wonder that Flood Dragon couldn’t transform, because the True Dragon Destiny hasn’t been extracted by the Earth Vein." At this moment, the Fox Spirit also focused its eyes on the brilliant light spot and disregarded the burn of the Golden Light, actually reaching out with both hands, attempting to extract the Dragon Soul from the True Dragon’s skeleton.
Having lost the True Dragon’s Grudge, the Dragon Soul was now extremely weak, no match for the Fox Spirit. With a tug from the Fox Spirit, the Dragon Soul was pulled out more than halfway.
But ultimately, the True Dragon’s Remnant Soul was left by the True Dragon. The next moment, the True Dragon’s illusory figure flickered and transformed into the size of a tadpole, slipping through the gaps in the Fox Spirit’s massive hand, and then burrowed back into the True Dragon skeleton.
"Damn it, as expected of a Dragon Soul, even weakened to near extinction, it’s still so troublesome." The Fox Spirit cursed loudly: "But you are now just a remnant soul about to vanish, you can’t leave the True Dragon Skeleton; let’s see where you can escape to."
