Chapter 862, Darkness Ancient God

Translator: Silavin

After the Blood Moon’s Owner had awakened, this outpost was the first place it had attacked.

Since they had already arrived here, it meant they were not far from the Blood Moon’s Owner’s location.

The Devouring Dragon King stopped, ceasing her forward flight. Instead, she turned back and asked. “Well then, can you sense where it is?”

“Actually, you don’t need to sense where it is. As long as you can find where the Fallen Corpse Ancient God is hiding, finding the Blood Moon’s Owner’s position won’t be difficult. As the Fallen Corpse Ancient God’s most loyal slave, it will definitely guard the Fallen Corpse Ancient God well, preventing others from disturbing it. Since you’re now an Ancient God, you should be able to determine the Fallen Corpse Ancient God’s exact location, right?”

Hearing this, Lu Fan was slightly stunned. “You actually know I’m an Ancient God now? I don’t think I told you about me obtaining a Divine Seat, right?”

The Devouring Dragon King rolled her eyes at him. “Do you take me for a fool? Why would I even need you to tell me? You carry the aura of an Ancient God, and this aura isn’t merely because you have Fallen Corpse Holy Dragon Kings as your Pet Dragons.”

“Ancient Gods are such terrifying beings, posing a great threat to us Giant Dragons. Even though they exist beyond World Principles, our instincts as Giant Dragon allows us to be able to detect danger and sense their aura. When I awoke, I immediately knew you’d become an Ancient God by obtaining a Divine Seat. I just didn’t see any need to mention it to you.”

“Obviously, although I don’t know what fortuitous encounter allowed you to obtain an Ancient God’s Divine Seat, you’re different from those beings who only know destruction. From beginning to end, what you’ve wanted is to kill those Ancient Gods. This did not change before you’ve changed and after.”

Lu Fan smiled and admitted. “You’re right. I won’t go into the specific process, but I indeed have become an Ancient God. Now, I’m the Abyssal Ancient God.”

“But, how did you know that Ancient God Divine Seats can be seized?”

“That’s simple!” The Devouring Dragon King pursed her lips with extreme contempt. “I understand Ancient Gods far better than most people. Actually, I’ve dealt with an Ancient God before. That Ancient God was named Dark. When I was being hunted by Giant Dragons from the Dragon Domain, I once encountered the Darkness Ancient God, who had only awakened a strand of consciousness.”

“Darkness!?” Upon hearing this, Lu Fan’s heart trembled.

This was yet another Ancient God he had never heard of.

“That’s right, it’s called Darkness.” The Devouring Dragon King said. “How powerful it is, I don’t know. After all, at that time, it was just a mass of black mist that hadn’t even condensed a body yet.”

“Back then, it told me that it had taken a liking to my power and hoped I could help it by becoming its Darkness Slave, whereby I would serve to help accelerate its awakening. After it awakened, it would grant me supreme power while making me an Ancient God’s Mount, allowing me to follow it in eternal life, transcending all things.”

Hearing this, Lu Fan couldn’t help but laugh and shake his head. “Good grief, all Ancient Gods use the same sales pitch. They clearly can’t move, yet they paint grand visions for others first, wanting them to become their servants.”

“Exactly!” The Devouring Dragon King also laughed. “At the time, I also thought it was truly delusional. To actually say such things to me, a Dragon King. What more, wanting to make me its Mount!”

Lu Fan’s interest grew. “And then? Did you curse it out?”

The Devouring Dragon King said. “Not quite. I didn’t agree, but I didn’t refuse either. Instead, I asked it some things about the Ancient Gods.”

“That Ancient God was truly simple-minded, It actually told me quite a lot. Only after I’d learned everything I wanted to know did I realise that such terrifying beings were lying dormant in this world. They transcend all living beings, creating order, overturning eras. Even a Dragon King like me must bow to them.”

At this point, the Devouring Dragon King spread her hands. “Fortunately, they haven’t awakened yet. Basically, they have no Combat Power and are powerless. So, after learning everything I wanted to know, I incinerated Darkness with a single Dragon Breath.”

After a pause, the Devouring Dragon King added. “Of course, what I burned to death should only have been a strand of its consciousness. Ancient Gods are truly Immortal and Indestructible. What I burned was merely a Clone of its Will. Its True Body should still be dormant somewhere. Now that Ancient Gods are awakening one after another, I imagine it will soon appear as well. At that time, I wonder if it’ll hold a grudge and seek me out for revenge? After all, I cursed it quite viciously back then and had even attacked it.”

Lu Fan burst out laughing.

An unawakened Ancient God trying to seduce an independent existence such as the Devouring Dragon King. One could fully imagine just how the Devouring Dragon King would have humiliated this Clone.

Although it was just a Clone, the Devouring Dragon King treating its Clone so dismissively and hurling all manner of insults and abuse must have left this Ancient God depressed.

If this Darkness Ancient God was the least bit petty, after awakening, its first order of business would probably be to find that Dragon King who had cursed it and destroyed its Clone.

However, the Devouring Dragon King revealing this matter gave Lu Fan an idea.

“So you once encountered an unawakened Ancient God somewhere, right?” Lu Fan asked.

The Devouring Dragon King nodded. “That’s right, that’s what happened. Could it be that you want to…”

Lu Fan smiled. “You guessed correctly. I want to kill it before it awakens. Back then you didn’t have a Divine Seat, so you had no way to confirm its exact location. But with me by your side, as long as I’m within a certain range around it, I can sense its existence.”

“Since it hasn’t fully awakened, that strand of consciousness shouldn’t be too far from where its True Body lies dormant. I just need to search carefully, and it shouldn’t be hard to find.”

“Once I can kill it, you’ll have one less problem in the future, right? After all, being fixated on by an Ancient God. No matter where you go, you won’t feel at ease, will you?”

The Devouring Dragon King folded her arms and thought for a moment, her eyes lighting up as she readily agreed. “What you say does make sense! Actually, when that Ancient God wanted me to be its Mount, this Grandmother wanted to kill it already. I was just helpless because I couldn’t find where its True Body was. If you can determine its location, we can go and kill it. This would be quite the boon for the both of us.”
