Chapter 542, Devouring the Ancient God Source

Translator: Silavin

 

Extremistis Country had unspeakable tolls of suffering from this event. The Skeletal Monster Tide were filled with Level 80+ Monsters, led by a gigantic Bone Dragon whose Level could not even be determined by the Appraisal Skill. It would only show ‘???’ as its Level.

 

A Monster Tide of this scale had never been recorded in Human history. Forget about Extremistis Country, even ten Extremistis Countries or ten Star Strip Countries combined would find it hard to withstand it!

 

In that case, how did Dragon Country manage to withstand it?

 

That remained a mystery.

 

This time, Dragon Country not only withstood the Skeletal Monster Tide, but also performed admirably in its post-disaster reconstruction work, setting a standard. In just a short day, all those injured had been sent for treatment, and temporary housing had already been properly arranged.

 

As for compensation and resettlement for those that died and damaged buildings, no one had any objections to these arrangements.

 

The impact brought by the Skeletal Monster Tide to Dragon Country was so easily resolved that it had basically earnt international praise.

 

Lu Fan had not expected that with Tu Jing serving as the backbone, Jianghai City would recover and resume operations so quickly after experiencing the Skeletal Monster Tide.

 

That day, Lu Fan had Xiao Cui take him to the Dragon Domain, then attempted to have a Fallen Corpse Holy Dragon King absorb and refine the Ancient God Source.

 

After the side effects of Fury of All Dragons had dissipated and Lu Fan could summon his Pet Dragons again, he immediately planned to let this Ancient God Source in his hand fulfil its use, giving him two more proper Dragon Kings.

 

Having experienced consuming Ancient God Essences before, the two Fallen Corpse Holy Dragon Kings did not show any resistance to Lu Fan’s order to eat the Ancient God Source. They knew that whenever Lu Fan made them eat something, it would cause them extreme pain. But after the pain, their Attributes and Combat Power would greatly increase.

 

As Dragons who valued power, the Fallen Corpse Holy Dragon Kings naturally would not resist this kind of ‘pleasurable’ pain.

 

Lu Fan randomly selected one Fallen Corpse Holy Dragon King and fed it the Ancient God Source. Sure enough, the Fallen Corpse Holy Dragon King’s body produced a similar reaction.

 

This time, the Fallen Corpse Holy Dragon King’s expression of pain was more severe. His Dragon Roar resounded throughout Heaven and Earth.

 

Fortunately, Lu Fan had prepared in advance by coming to the Dragon Domain, otherwise this cry would likely have been heard throughout Jianghai City.

 

Amidst all the pain, the Fallen Corpse Holy Dragon King’s body also underwent changes.

 

Inside his body, white bones pierced through his flesh, protruding from beneath his skin.

 

Suddenly, shattered Dragon Scales and splattered Dragon Blood were everywhere, truly giving Lu Fan a fright.

 

If the Devouring Dragon King had not told him through spiritual connection that all this was a normal reaction, Lu Fan would certainly have found Ye Sha to give the Fallen Corpse Holy Dragon King a quick end, not letting him continue to endure such suffering.

 

The Fallen Corpse Holy Dragon King that consumed the Ancient God Source experienced this, but it was not the only one. His Brother also experienced the same reaction.

 

As their bodies were pierced by bone spikes, the spikes on the two Dragons’ bodies actually touched each other, then intertwined and merged together.

 

In the blink of an eye, the forms of the two Fallen Corpse Holy Dragon Kings gradually disappeared within the vast expanse of white bones.

 

Before Lu Fan appeared a large cocoon formed from interwoven white bones.

 

Inside the cocoon, a white light mixed with purple and gold flashed, as if incubating something.

 

Seeing no other movement inside the large cocoon, Lu Fan asked the Devouring Dragon King if such a scene was also normal, and received an affirmation.

 

The Devouring Dragon King said that the power of the Ancient God Source was too much, and it would restructure the Fallen Corpse Holy Dragon King’s Bloodline. This was a process that naturally required time and could not be completed in a short period like when consuming Ancient God Essence.

 

As for how long the digestion of the Ancient God Source would take, even the Devouring Dragon King could not clearly determine it.

 

With no alternative, Lu Fan could only wait patiently to see when the Fallen Corpse Holy Dragon Kings would complete their final evolution.

 

However, Lu Fan did not wait until the Fallen Corpse Holy Dragon Kings successfully evolved. When he left the Dragon Domain, he soon received news that Tu Jing had sent someone to invite him over, saying there was something to discuss.

 

Since this seemed more urgent, Lu Fan followed Tu Jing’s messenger to the appointment.

 

Arriving at the city hall, Lu Fan met with Tu Jing.

 

At this time, Tu Jing was eating. The meal was not elaborate: just a pot of wine, four dishes, and two sets of bowls and chopsticks. Obviously, Lu Fan’s portion was included.

 

Having not seen each other for two days, Tu Jing’s face showed slight fatigue, clearly indicating that Jianghai City’s rapid recovery from the Monster Tide was not unrelated to his efforts.

 

However, Tu Jing was still a top expert, with High Endurance Attribute. Despite working diligently for two days, his appearance was not too bad, still seeming quite vigorous.

 

Seeing Lu Fan arrive, Tu Jing cheerfully invited him to sit down and have a couple of drinks with him.

 

After some drinking and casual chat about Jianghai City’s current situation, Tu Jing quickly brought the conversation to the main topic.

 

“Actually, I called you here today to show you something,” Tu Jing said while drinking, picking up a document folder beside him and tossing it to Lu Fan.

 

Seeing that the folder was specially used by the Griffin Legion from the Far North, Lu Fan immediately guessed. “Could it be about the Blood Moon’s Owner?”

 

“Exactly! Ssss—” Tu Jing put down the wine pot and drew in a breath, as if that last sip of wine had been extremely strong.

 

“The Forbidden Zone behind the Blood Moon’s Owner was explored by you. At the same time, this Skeletal Monster Tide was also suppressed by you. I could sense a familiar power from those three Bone Dragons. If I’m not wrong, the Boss of this Skeletal Monster Tide was also an Ancient God, and it is the Ancient God called Divine Bone, right?”

 

Lu Fan nodded while opening the document folder.

 

With Tu Jing’s intelligence network, these things were not difficult to investigate.

 

Tu Jing chuckled and said, “Since that’s the case, you really have many unresolved connections with the Ancient Gods. Besides the Fallen Corpse Ancient God in the Far North and the Holy Mountain Ancient God in Star Strip Country, there’s now another Divine Bone Ancient God.”

 

“But, the Divine Bone Ancient God should have been eliminated by you, so that Ancient God shouldn’t be a threat for the time being.”

 

At this point, Tu Jing’s tone suddenly became much more serious, saying solemnly. “Although Divine Bone is dead, a new disaster may be coming.”

 

As soon as Tu Jing finished speaking, Lu Fan had already opened the folder.

 

After reviewing the contents of the documents inside, Lu Fan’s expression became equally grave.

 

It was truly unexpected that in less than half a year, such changes had occurred in the Far North!
