The Strongest Dragon in the Era of Beast Taming - Chapter 574: 568: Slaying the Gods to their Doom

Chapter 574: Chapter 568: Slaying the Gods to their Doom

“What a pity, this Nine Dragons Purple Gold Armor is not a Pet Arm!!” David Jones lamented with a touch of greed.

Although he knew that for a Trainer, personal defense was of utmost importance, and wearing this armor would allow him to ignore the attacks of most Epic warriors, he still felt a bit covetous.

After all, with David Jones wearing this armor, his defense was more than adequate, but his attack was lacking, reducing him to a mere punching bag, whereas it would be different for Lolo.

Top-grade defense that could ignore Legendary attacks would allow Lolo to fight with abandon and brutally assault the opponent, vastly improving her combat power and turning her into a crazy offensive arsenal.

By then, even a Class VII apex Beast might not be a match for Lolo!

“Ee?” (You don’t like it?)

Rainbow blinked, not quite understanding.

Just holding the armor, she could imagine how majestic her Trainer would look wearing it!

“No, it’s just me being too greedy!”

David Jones rubbed Rainbow’s head and began the blood sacrifice with his Essence Blood on the armor.

As the blood dripped onto the Saint Crystal in the chest piece of the Purple Gold Armor, a burst of golden light spread out, and David Jones suddenly felt a tight bond of kinship within his heart.

With a thought, the Purple Gold Armor on Rainbow’s claw vanished in a flash of light, and an invisible yet overwhelmingly powerful force manifested on the surface of David Jones’s body.

“Is this the power of Dragon Roar?”

David Jones clenched his hand as if holding nothing, activating the skill attached to the Purple Gold Armor. Terrifying power crumbled the space covered by his palm, revealing a darkened, twisted space passage.

“How far is this powerful strike from that of a Legend?” David Jones murmured to himself.

The instant he activated the Dragon Roar, he had the illusion that he could obliterate a Class VII Overlord with a flip of his hand.

“Congratulations, Teacher, on obtaining a rare treasure!” Rossetti Lindwood’s eyes were full of wonder.

With the armor inlaid with Dragon Scales and precious stones glowing with Spirit Power, she had not expected her teacher to look so heroic in the Purple Gold Armor, exuding an air of spirited vitality.

“Fair’s fair, you should have one too.”

Having said that, David Jones tossed the last treasure pearl from the display to Rossetti Lindwood.

[Blood Cleansing Pearl]: A Level VIII Legendary resource containing a drop of Heart Blood from a royal Ghost Immortal elite. Pierce the tips of all five fingers and touch the Blood Cleansing Pearl with them to purify the bloodline of the royal descendants, greatly enhancing the user’s talents and Cultivation.

Note: For those not of the Umbral royal bloodline, or those with an impure bloodline, using the Blood Cleansing Pearl will reverse the blood flow and collapse, resulting in certain death!

Since David Jones did not possess the Ghosts’ bloodline, the Blood Cleansing Pearl was utterly poisonous to him, so he chose to give this treasure pearl to Rossetti Lindwood as a long-term investment.

That’s right, go big or go home!

In David Jones’s view, instead of risking his life trading the Blood Cleansing Pearl with a stranger among the Ghost Elite, it was better to give it to Rossetti Lindwood, a future Ghost Immortal—and even possible future Ghost Deity. All to help Rossetti Lindwood grow stronger sooner.

In time, as long as Rossetti Lindwood remembered her roots, he was sure to gain returns tens to hundreds of times greater than from any trade.

Of course, another reason was that David Jones felt he was not quite a competent teacher.

“This… this is too valuable!”

Rossetti Lindwood held the Blood Cleansing Pearl in her hands, her expression caught between the desire to accept it and the feeling that it wasn’t quite right.

Even though she was a country girl unfamiliar with most of the cultivation resources in the great Umbral, she knew that the treasures stored in the military’s secret vaults were incredibly precious, coveted even by the elites of the Thirteen Sacred Clans.

Plus, with her deep longing for the pearl, Rossetti Lindwood’s face couldn’t help showing an unusual shyness and unease, her smooth skin blushing attractively, her demeanor very much undecided.

“You are my disciple, and it’s just a Blood Cleansing Pearl, no need to refuse!”

David Jones smiled faintly, his smile bearing a casual magnanimity that placed little value on material benefits, focusing solely on the bond between teacher and student, making Rossetti Lindwood look up to him even more.

“Thank you, Teacher.”

Rossetti Lindwood did not refuse again and, to David Jones’s astonishment, swallowed the Blood Cleansing Pearl in one go.

“You just ate it like that?”

David Jones blinked in slight bemusement, as the scene before him did not align at all with the usage method identified by the Illusion-Piercing Eye.

“Teacher, is that not allowed?”

Rossetti Lindwood covered her red lips with her finger, her head tilted slightly, her tone carrying a hint of apology, “But intuition tells me that this pearl should be consumed in this way.”

“It’s fine, as long as you think there’s no problem.”

To prevent any mishap from befalling Rossetti Lindwood, David Jones maintained the activation of his Illusion-Piercing Eye.

“Boom!”

Soon, under the influence of the Blood Cleansing Pearl, Rossetti Lindwood’s body floated unconsciously in mid-air, bursting with powerful Domination and releasing an impact wave as strong as a blow from a Ghost King Elite.

In order to test the defense capabilities of the Nine Dragons Purple Gold Armor, David Jones stood in place, preventing Rainbow and the Gluttonous Beast from intervening.

“Hum!”

Like a gentle breeze caressing his face, the materialized impact wave was annihilated by a faint glow radiating from the Nine Dragons Armor before it could even reach David Jones.

“Not even 0.0001% of energy was lost, and such consumption will recover quickly on its own.”

Detecting no energy loss in the Purple Gold Armor, David Jones opened his eyes to observe Rossetti Lindwood, who was undergoing a metamorphosis.

“In a world where lineage is critical, the bloodline of Ghost Deities really defies all logic!”

Feeling Rossetti Lindwood’s aura break through from the apex of Ghost Lord to the initial stage of Ghost Prince, then rocketing swiftly through the medium and later stages and peaking, continuing to the initial stage of Ghost King before the speed finally started to slow, David Jones couldn’t help but feel a tinge of envy.

Both cheated, yet he spent so many resources to barely achieve Class VI strength, while Rossetti Lindwood just needed a drop of Essence Blood to surpass him. Was this the foundation of an Immortal reincarnation!

“You can too!”

Just then, a voice that could not be distinguished as male or female, heroic or gentle, interrupted David Jones’s thoughts.

“Who is it!”

David Jones was suddenly startled, his eyes instinctively scanning his surroundings, activating his Illusion-Piercing Eye to its limit, startling Rainbow and the Gluttonous Beast, who had no idea what was happening.

“You didn’t hear that strange voice?” David Jones took a deep breath to calm the turmoil in his heart.

“Yi!” (No!)

“Roar?” (Is there an enemy?)

Seeing his two Pets on high alert, David Jones frowned deeply.

It wasn’t right! Rainbow and the Gluttonous Beast’s perception was not any less than his; if he could hear the voice, it was impossible for his Pets not to!

“Unless…”

With a thought, David Jones submerged his Psychic Power into the Origin Star Space and looked towards the dazzling egg perched high in the starry sky.

“Indeed, it was I who spoke before,” the transcendental voice rang out again, causing David Jones to pause slightly.

As he expected, the godly egg residing in the Origin Star Space had a consciousness and could communicate, otherwise, it wouldn’t have actively entered his Origin Star.

“If you can help me devour the Demon God’s energy from the outside world, I can assist you to reach King level within a day.”

“Me?” David Jones pointed to himself, an expression of disbelief on his face.

How could he, someone not even a King Trainer, have the gall to slay a god!!!

Was this godly egg really sending him to his death?
