Chapter 596 - 590: Overwhelming Power
David Jones patted Rainbow on the head with a tone of helplessness.
To think that Dragon Palace treasures were as common as dirt on the streets. One must realize that any item classified as a treasure by the Dragon Palace was at least of a legendary resource.
Anyone could figure that a resource brazenly fought over by two Class VI Kings under the watchful eye of the Abyssal Mystery Dragon could hardly be legendary.
“Eeek?” (What if it is?)
Unconvinced, Rainbow protested.
“There aren’t that many ‘what-ifs’ in reality.”
David Jones glanced downward and activated his Illusion-Piercing Eye.
“Pet Name”: Wood Spirit
“Pet Type”: Wood, Psychic
“Species Level”: King
“Grade”: Class VI lower-level
“Species Skill”: Wood Spirit Birth, Spirit Possession, Spirit Transfer, Wild Wood Dance,
“Pet Profile”: Wood Spirits are a type of Pet that cannot survive without the spirit wood they inhabit. The higher the grade of the spirit wood they reside in, the greater the potential and the Species Level of the Wood Spirit will enhance rapidly over time with proper nurturing.
“Residing in the Sky-net Treasure Wood, a Level V SS tier spirit wood, no wonder it’s stuck at Class VI lower-level,” David Jones thought to himself with a glint in his eyes.
It should not be difficult for the Wood Spirit with its abundant life force to break through to Class VI middle-level.
But the spirit wood is both a blessing and a curse; since it’s bound to the grade of the Sky-net Treasure Wood, unless it finds a higher-grade spirit wood or uses Mystic Arts to enhance the quality of the current one, it will remain at Class VI lower-level for life.
“Not even able to change the grade of their host spirit wood, the so-called Dragon Palace treasure is indeed just a baseless myth.”
David Jones shook his head, shifting his gaze to the jade plaque held in the hands of the Wood Spirit.
“Dragon Palace Plaque”: An arcane implement of Class VIII legendary inheritance from the ancient times, notably the plaque of the West Sea Dragon Palace of great renown. Unbreakable and indestructible, activating this plaque connects to all oceanic Dungeons occupied by the West Sea Dragon Palace and enables one to inherit from the West Sea Dragon Palace.
Note: Using this plaque requires a high degree of Dragon bloodline. True Dragons whose bloodline is below the level of Legend cannot open the passage of portal to the oceanic Dungeons.
“Holy shit!”
David Jones’s eyes widened as he couldn’t help but let out a curse.
As Rainbow had suggested, they had stumbled upon a one-in-a-million chance.
“Eeek!”
“Mew!”
“Roar!”
“Baa!”
After sharing the information detected with his Illusion-Piercing Eye with the little ones, all the Pets except Lolo, who only knew about tending to the Tree Arts, were shaken.
In the ancient legends, the Dragon God of the Four Seas ruled over Blue Star’s vast and infinite oceans, as well as all aquatic creatures and dragons within them.
The so-called West Sea Dragon Palace, also known as the Dragon God Palace, was seen as the Supreme sacred place for dragons in ancient times. Even the rare Emperor True Dragons that were hardly seen by ordinary people weren’t considered unusual within the West Sea Dragon Palace.
Although David Jones was not sure why the Four Seas Dragon Palace had gradually faded into obscurity within the Flowery Kingdom, one thing was undeniable: Each of the Dragon Palaces of the East, West, South, and North Seas had the terrifying power to equal or even surpass the strength of the Flowery Kingdom if considered as separate entities.
This West Sea Dragon Palace plaque might just be one of David Jones’s means to understand this legendary force.
“With the Gluttonous Beast’s Potential for Infinite Evolution, it would only take decades or even a few years to activate its bloodline to the level of a Legend Emperor. I wonder if this plaque would acknowledge the bloodline of a Mecha Dragon Emperor.”
With this thought, David Jones’s eyes grew even hotter as he stared at the Dragon Palace plaque.
“Should we take a stab at it?”
David Jones stroked his chin, beginning to solicit the opinions of his Pets.
“Yi!” (Charge, charge, charge!)
Rainbow said, unable to wait any longer.
“Mie.” (I want to take a look at the Dragon Palace.)
Loona said longingly.
“Jiuji.” (I’ll follow your lead.)
Lolo, the strongest among them, indicated it didn’t matter to her. Even if the Abyssal Mystery Dragon were to wake up this moment, she was confident she could lead everyone in a retreat.
David Jones exhaled a breath of turbid air and decided to change the plan.
To be honest, he had faced the Unborn Void God before, so of course, he wouldn’t be afraid of an Abyssal Mystery Dragon.
However, since he couldn’t suppress the Abyssal Mystery Dragon and feared startling it might lead to greater disaster, he chose the most stable method and reported the situation to the Trainer Guild.
“Eternal Frost Annihilation!”
As David Jones’s voice fell, the entire island was instantaneously covered by the Eternal Frost Aura, a power that could be called the pinnacle of Ice Type forces, stirring up a vast expanse of icy white mist.
“Crack, crackle!”
The frost descended, and the cold that twisted thoughts and space instantly froze the Wood Spirit, who had the upper hand, along with the Vortex Tiger Whale near the shore.
A pair of blood-red eyes suddenly grew wary as they looked at Rainbow.
“Ying?” (Who are you, daring to disturb my battle?)
No sooner had the words fallen than dozens of Extreme Wave Whales, slightly smaller than the Vortex Tiger Whale, behind it let out a roar as one, sending terrifying tidal waves toward Rainbow.
“Flame Impact!”
A mere low-level Fire Type skill displayed immense power in Daphne’s hands.
The dazzling flame shot across the sky and pierced the giant waves. The joint strike of dozens of Class V, middle-level Beasts was annihilated as if rotten wood swept away by a torrent, and the surging fiery wave, carrying boiling steam, rushed toward the Extreme Wave Whales.
The Vortex Tiger Whale flicked its tail, stirring up azure waves as a defensive barrier in front of its subordinates.
“Boom, boom, boom!”
Only when the violent impact subsided did the Vortex Tiger Whale realize that the frozen, ice-sculpture-like Wood Spirit had an additional Beast on it, which made it feel a strong sense of pressure.
Lolo blinked, scaring the Vortex Tiger Whale into retreating hundreds of meters away.
Finding it somewhat boring, she waved her little hand and straightaway collected the Dragon Palace plaque from the Wood Spirit into the Mesona Space.
At that moment, the frost shattered, and ice sprayed everywhere. Enraged by the loss of its treasure, the Wood Spirit’s mystical Rune etched branches glowed with a rich blue light.
“Huqi!”
It manipulated the sky-covering ancient woods to crash down on Lolo, causing the already crumbling ground to sink further.
The entire island shook, as if it might be destroyed at any moment.
“Jiuji.” (You’re really naughty.)
Lolo, who initially intended to pack up the Wood Spirit and put it into the Mesona Space, changed her expression slightly.
She brought her tiny hands together, and destructive spatial energy converged in her palm, forming a pitch-black miniature black hole.
“Shoo!”
Under the incredulous gaze of the Wood Spirit, Lolo’s inconspicuously tiny hand pressed down lightly, and the terrifying spatial energy was released, giving it an unstoppable sense of impending doom.
Watching from afar as Lolo swiftly defeated the Wood Spirit, David Jones’s eyebrows raised slightly.
“That’s bad, Lolo suddenly got serious? The Sky-net Treasure Wood is worth a lot of money, don’t break it!”
Soon, the dust settled, and ancient woods crumbled.
Only the Psychic spirit body of the Wood Spirit remained, causing the Vortex Tiger Whale beside it to shiver with fear and consider retreating.
