His eyes glinted with resolution as if he had made up his mind. With a slap on his storage pouch, a golden chariot the size of his hand appeared on his palm.
Within the chariot, a dark shadow of a dragon moved around enthusiastically and scanned the surroundings. After confirming that this place really was the Black Dragon Tomb, he became especially excited, dreadfully longing to jump out from the chariot and begin to improve his demon power or even reform his demon body!
However, the pitiable black dragon had already been attached to the chariot after being turned into a chariot spirit. Unless he obtained permission from Ning Fan with his spirit sense, there was no way he could leave the chariot…
“Let me out! This Elder Brother knows you are afraid that I might acquire the inheritance in this place and break through to the Void Refinement Realm. You are afraid that I will outclass you! You envy me! You malefic being, I am warning you again! If you don’t let me out, I will really go serious on you! This Elder Brother will be really scary when I’m angry!”
“Silence!”
Ning Fan activated the demon seal and immediately, the black dragon wailed in agony. His snotty demeanor died away and his mouth ceased to utter any excessive words.
“Arghhh! Please have mercy! Master, please have mercy on me! This little brother is too elated to the degree of forgetting my position… I’m truly guilty about it!”
“Hmmph! Don’t ask why you died next time you speak insolently again! Let me ask you. What is the Black Dragon Tomb?!”
*Thump*
The black dragon’s heart pounded heavily.
How careless am I to have mentioned the Black Dragon Tomb… I was too excited just now and made a slip of the tongue…
That was actually the secret of the Black Dragon Race. Only he who was once a young master of the race could know about it. Ordinary demons had no idea of what it was!
“Er… This Elder Brother does not know what you’re talking about?”
“Three breaths! If you don’t tell me the truth, you’ll die!” Ning Fan said, feeling lazy to prolong the nonsensical conversation with the black dragon anymore.
The first breath went by!
The secondary breath went by!
Just as the third breath was about to come, the black dragon gave in.
With his teeth gritted together, he reluctantly said, “Fine! Isn’t it just about the Black Dragon Pond? There’s no big deal in telling you about it! At the end of the day, other than the members of the Black Dragon Race, no one would be able to gain the slightest advantage from this place…” The black dragon spoke, feeling pleased with himself.
Apparently, my luck isn’t that bad after everything that had happened. Being degraded as a sinful dragon and had my claws chopped off. Being turned into a chariot spirit. I originally thought I’m really out of luck. But now, here comes a chance for me to get a break. I actually discovered the Black Dragon Tomb!
“Get to the point!” Ning Fan exerted the strength in his palm. The black dragon’s demon soul within the golden chariot was on the verge of collapsing. Instantly, he became terrified again.
“No. Don’t do it! Let’s not hurt each other’s feelings! This Elder Brother will tell you everything I know! This Black Dragon Tomb is actually the tomb of a senior of my Black Dragon Race who possesses the royal bloodline. Due to the unique terrain of this place, a secret art was used to connect his dragon veins with the earth veins, turning it into a dragon cave which retains his corpse as well as his blood essence for the descendants of the race to devour and absorb… However, only the members of my race will be able to obtain the inheritance. Common people can’t do that! Hehe. If the senior who was buried here is a Heavenly Demon, then I’m truly lucky. Hahaha. If I absorb his demon corpse and demon blood, I will be able to at least break through to the Void Fragmentation Realm with ease!” His black dragon’s eyes flashed with eagerness.
“A royalty of the Black Dragon Race…”
Ning Fan frowned. From the Demon Codex, he had come across some information about the Dragon Race. It originally had numerous branches. But after the great cataclysm of heaven and earth, other than the Immemorial Thunder Dragon Race, no one from the other Dragon Races had managed to awaken the royal bloodline…
However, before the great calamity, the Black Dragon Race was once stronger than the Thunder Dragon Race.
That is to say, this Dragon pond existed long before Lu Wu went into slumber and the collapse of heaven and earth?
Will there be the corpse of a royalty of the Black Dragon Race lying below?
The boundary of the Second World is weak. It can at most allow Divine Transformation Realm beings to enter. In other words, even if there really is a corpse of the Black Dragon Race’s royalty, that being’s cultivation level can only be below the Half-Step Void Refinement Realm.
As such, it is certainly impossible to have a Heavenly Demon’s corpse as what the black dragon mentioned. At best, there can only be a Divine Transformation Realm demon corpse…
Perhaps the black dragon was bound to be disappointed.
However, since this place was the tomb of his race, he should presumably know the methods how to deal with the dark beasts.
“Do you have any means to face the dark beasts?” Ning Fan asked in a deep tone.
“Dark beasts? Just them? They are just my snacks. As long as I reveal myself, all of them have to flee!” The black dragon proudly replied.
“Very well! Then, I will cultivate here and you will be responsible in guarding me. If anything goes wrong, I will activate the Demon Seal and take your life! You are permitted to come out now!”
Ning Fan touched the golden chariot with his finger. The black dragon trembled and flew out from the chariot, transforming into a physical dragon with a massive body.
After keeping the golden chariot, Ning Fan stepped above the black dragon and ordered, “Go further down!”
“No problem. It’s all on me!”
The black dragon agreed with certainty while feeling ecstatic inwardly.
“This malefic being wants to cultivate in this place?! Haha. Good! Very good! During this period of time, I will capture all the dark beasts around this tomb and obtain the inheritance from the deceased royalty, seizing the opportunity to advance into the Void Refinement Realm. As soon as I achieve the breakthrough, no matter how strong the Demon Seal is, it can’t control a demon beast who has a big cultivation level gap over its castor. When the time comes, I’ll definitely be able to break free from his grasp!”
Suddenly, the black dragon was filled with hope and optimism about his future.
However, just as he traversed the blood pond and entered the yellow spring at the bottom, all his hopes were crushed, leaving only disappointment within him.
Thirty thousand zhang* below the pond – the Land of the Yellow Spring!
Multitudes of human bones were piled up on this land. The set of skeletons that come out on top among the pile of bones belonged to a dead black dragon which was already half decomposed.
By the look of the dragon blood, this black dragon should be just half a step away from advancing into the Void Refinement Realm when it was alive back then. It was not much different from Ning Fan’s expectations.
*Glass breaking sound*
The black dragon’s wonderful dream was smashed to pieces.
“Just a Divine Transformation Realm dragon’s corpse?! It’s not a Heavenly Demon?! F**k! I rejoiced too soon! If that’s the case, even if I devour this dragon corpse as well as its demon blood, I can only break through to the peak stage of the Divine Transformation Realm!”
“The dragon blood is mine. The decayed corpse is yours!”
Ning Fan smiled and leaped from the back of the black dragon. With a wave of his sleeve, droplets of black, shiny dragon blood filled with overflowing demon power were attracted into his hands. Without a second thought, he gulped down every last one of them.
The black dragon was perplexed and was mentally crushed.
“Originally, I can only attain the Peak Divine Transformation Realm after devouring the dragon corpse and the dragon blood. Now, I can only break through to the Late Divine Transformation Realm! I’ll kill you!”
