Chapter 357 - 351: Infinite Purgatory
David Jones looked up at the domineering face of the Black Armor Dragon, a hint of solemnity flashing in his eyes.
“Fine, according to our agreement, you have to help me kill the Crimson Beast first.”
After saying that, David Jones reached out and held the Legend Contract, which was shining brilliantly in mid-air, in the palm of his hand.
After all, exchanging the core reactor of the Raven Armor for the power of the Black Armor Dragon might not necessarily be a bad thing for him. It might even help him take control of the Origin Emperor’s Relic and inherit all of the Origin Emperor’s legacy.
Even if he thought about the worst-case scenario, where the Black Armor Dragon would choose to break free from the Legend Contract’s binding after advancing to become an Immortal, he would not be at a loss since he would still have control over the Raven Armor. Moreover, this way, he could gain the trust of the Black Armor Dragon.
Seeing David Jones accept the Legend Contract, the Black Armor Dragon’s raised heart immediately relaxed.
Its greatest fear was that David would renege on their agreement after obtaining the Raven Armor. If it had a choice, it really didn’t want to take action against David. This Legend Contract would serve as the basis of trust between them.
A thousand years might be too long for a Legendary Emperor, but for an Immortal, it was average.
If David could indeed help it become an Immortal in the end, the Black Armor Dragon wouldn’t mind helping him become an emperor and establish a nation, serving him for a thousand years.
Otherwise, they would just kill each other.
“Hold the Legend Contract, and according to our agreement, you can successfully establish the contract by swearing to the runes with your mental power,” the Black Armor Dragon reminded him.
Wen Yan, David slowly pressed his mental power onto the surface of the contract rune and began to swear.
At that moment, an vast and magnificent power of legend burst forth from the rune, making David’s heart tremble.
At this time, he could clearly feel a strange energy enveloping his Arcane Star. If he broke the oath, the legendary power covering his Arcane Star would shatter it instantly.
After David completed the Legend Contract, the contract rune transformed into a mysterious aurora and disappeared into the sky.
“From today on, we are allies!”
Black Armor Dragon happily patted David’s shoulder, “you don’t have to call me senior anymore, my name is Lord Black.”
“Lord Black, then I’ll leave this Crimson Beast to you.”
David didn’t hesitate, looking at the terrifying Mysterious Beast trapped by the silver chains in the distance and giving orders.
“Of course.” The Black Armor Dragon raised its head and let out a dragon roar. Its huge dragon body, carrying a terrifying storm, tore through space at an extreme speed and attacked the Crimson Beast.
“Rumbling!” Space collapsed.
A plume of black and red flame rose from the ground, instantly engulfing the entire earth.
“No wonder it’s a Mysterious Beast that inherited part of Mother Scarlet’s power. Its body is actually so strong. It’s a pity that I have become even stronger!”
The Black Armor Dragon’s magnificent crystal wings, which were dozens of meters long, unfolded rapidly, flickering with black light. In an instant, the heaven and earth lost their color, and the formidable nuclear energy entwined around the dragon wings made the entire space tremble incessantly.
“Boom!”
Under David’s gaze, the vast firestorm, spreading for tens of thousands of miles, suddenly erupted like a falling sun.
Even though they were far apart and protected by the Black Armor Dragon’s barrier, David could still feel the terrifyingly high temperature that evaporated the earth into ashes in an instant.
“The power of the Black Armor Dragon has more than doubled since before!”
David looked at the surging flames that engulfed everything, and his eyes flashed with shock as he unconsciously wiped the sweat from his forehead with the back of his hand.
“Wow!” <(—a–;)/ (So strong!)
Rainbow’s mouth opened slightly, her eyes looking at the Black Armor Dragon with a touch of longing.
Was this black dragon still the one she and Daphne had teamed up to defeat?
This power is way too overwhelming!!!
“Sigh, it can still regenerate. It seems I underestimated you!”
The Black Armor Dragon let out a scorching breath, its eyes fixed on the Crimson Beast whose body was half gone, and only a huge mouth was left. The creature’s mouth curved upwards in disdain.
“As food for my ascension to immortality, you may die in peace.”
In the next moment, the Black Armor Dragon opened its ferocious maw, and the Dragon Energy Cannon fired, enveloping the flesh and blood in countless expanding energy balls. A world-ending force erupted in a massive explosion.
“Whew!”
After scanning the battlefield and confirming that the Crimson Beast had been completely annihilated, the Black Armor Dragon appeared in front of David Jones, looking somewhat anxious.
“How did it go? Did we pass the trial?”
David Jones gave no regard to the Black Armor Dragon, looking at the information that appeared before his eyes in surprise.
[Congratulations on assisting the Raven Armor in completely killing the Crimson Beast. However, due to the death of the Raven Armor (Fake), your rating has dropped significantly, and you can only gain partial control over the Relic.]
“We did pass the trial, but because the Sky Machine Divine Bird died, I couldn’t gain complete control over the Relic.” David Jones glanced at the shattered pieces of the divine bird mecha that had been blown apart by the aftershock and spoke softly.
Upon hearing this, the Black Armor Dragon’s expression froze for a moment.
Although David’s words were calm, it still detected a hint of blame. But it hadn’t anticipated things turning out like this either.
“Without the Infinite Evolution Armor, it would have been difficult for me to kill the Crimson Beast with my own strength,” the Black Armor Dragon explained.
“Besides, it doesn’t matter if you can’t fully control the Relic. With my help, this Relic will be yours sooner or later.”
The Black Armor Dragon nodded earnestly, then asked the question it cared about the most.
“What level is your authority?”
David Jones frowned slightly and replied, “It’s only Purple level. I can freely access all areas of the Origin Emperor Relic and control all mecha and combat fortresses below the Overlord level, but I don’t have the authority to command the Raven Armor.”
Upon hearing this, the Black Armor Dragon’s eyes flashed, and it eagerly asked, “Can you enter the Infinite Purgatory?”
David Jones tapped his finger, and a virtual 3D big screen appeared in front of him, displaying numerous locations.
“Is it here?”
He pointed his finger at a large shadow deep within the map.
“That’s right, as long as you can open the passage to the Infinite Purgatory, I can handle the rest myself.” The Black Armor Dragon’s eyes filled with excitement.
Although it couldn’t confront the Raven Armor in its prime with its current strength, defeating an exhausted Immortal would not be difficult.
“Shall I open the passage now?” David Jones gave the Black Armor Dragon a suspicious look.
Goodness, this guy sure is audacious! Is it planning to kill a god?!
“Yes.” The Black Armor Dragon nodded slightly.
Seeing its determination, David Jones shook his head and operated the big screen in front of him.
Soon, a space passage emitting an ominous aura appeared before them.
“Are you sure you want to go through? There’s still a chance to back out now.” David Jones kindly reminded.
“I never regret.”
With that, the Black Armor Dragon stepped into the space passage.
