The Strongest Dragon in the Era of Beast Taming

Chapter 774: Chapter 768: Time Corrosion

Having checked the dragon scale with the remaining spatial fluctuations, David Jones’s brow furrowed, and he cursed inwardly.

“Damn that vile dragon!”

Before it perished, the Flameless Dark Dragon had destroyed the spatial anchor point locked onto the dragon scale, along with its small world, so now David Jones could not use the dragon scale to find its treasures and resources.

This was disappointing enough, but in addition to the dragon scale treasury, the Flameless Dark Dragon did not even spare the Star Ring that couldn’t be opened.

You should know that there were the fortunes of thirteen Epic experts contained within!

Of course, there was also a possibility that the Flameless Dark Dragon had transferred all its wealth, including the Star Ring, to the Dungeon anchored by the spatial dragon scale and then erased all connections between the spatial dragon scale and the Dungeon.

If it were the latter, relying on Lolo and Rainbow’s understanding of space, David Jones might still have a chance to locate the lost Dungeon in the spatial turbulence.

“Too bad, if I had the strength to capture the Flameless Dark Dragon alive, it definitely wouldn’t have been able to destroy the spatial dragon scale on its deathbed!”

David Jones sighed, his attention returning to the dragon corpse, without being too annoyed.

When a whale falls, all life prospers, let alone when a seventh-order Emperor Dragon perishes.

Even if David Jones didn’t get the Star Ring or an intact spatial dragon scale, just by virtue of the Flameless Dark Dragon’s tens of thousands of meters long body, he could become filthy rich overnight, ranking as one of the foremost Epic tycoons in the Flowery Kingdom and even within the six-pole of the world.

As for whether he could compete with Legendary experts in wealth, David Jones wasn’t too clear.

After all, his Teacher would casually gift an Ice-Fire Dragon Mustache Fruit.

While David Jones was gathering dragon-related resources, Jim Harvey and the other two dared only to watch from a distance, their eyes filled with envy and pained discomfort.

“Emperor Dragon skin is good stuff; it can be forged by a Grandmaster blacksmith into soft armor that is invulnerable to water and fire, nearly impossible to breach by Epic attacks. It’s such a waste to cut it into small pieces!” Corvus Coget gritted his teeth, but didn’t dare to make a sound.

“Emperor Dragon Essence Blood can cleanse the marrow and allow a Trainer to cast a true Emperor Dragon Body, it can also elevate a Dragon Pet’s bloodline and give it a chance to ascend to an Emperor species, to store it in a jade vat seems excessive…” Cocoa Snow’s eyelids twitched slightly, wanting to speak but stopping herself.

“Emperor Dragon bones can be purified by Pharmacy Flame and burned into powder to make medicine; it’s the best adjuvant for Golden Elixir of the fifth circle and above. Just throwing them on the ground is really… makes one unable to resist the urge to take them.”

Jim Harvey swallowed hard, grabbing his right wrist with his left palm, restraining the eager impulse in his heart.

Feeling the intense gaze from behind, David Jones turned around to look. Corvus and the others immediately put on friendly smiles, and their pained gnashing of teeth ceased.

“Meh.” The Moon Dragon’s eyes suddenly snapped open.

In the depth of its brown-gold pupils, the ghastly figure of a majestic, malevolent Demon Dragon emerged, then rapidly transformed into a dim starlight and a thread of mystical patterns that symbolize the flow of time throughout the cosmos, the very essence of Time.

David Jones paused in his gathering, turning his head to congratulate, “Congratulations on your breakthrough and mastering a new skill.”

At the moment of the Moon Dragon’s advancement to the sixth-order upper-level, a surge of pure power reflected back into David Jones’s Arcane Star through the Beast Taming Contract.

Simultaneously, information about the new skill flooded his mind.

“Profile”: Time Corrosion

“Level”: Class VII Time skill

“Profile”: Time ages all, all things decay, nothing can escape the wear of time. The awakener of this skill can exhale an invisible stream, covering a radius of a hundred meters. Within the area, all things wither away, with only Legends of the eighth order and above being able to resist with their Legendary power.

Note: Time Corrosion can also be used to accelerate the passage of time within a region, achieving a century in a breath.

After reading the skill profile, David Jones’s eyes were full of surprise, while the Moon Dragon’s eyes were filled with helplessness.

“How great is this skill, why don’t you look happy at all?” David Jones asked, perplexed.

“Meh.” (Time Corrosion is like the ancient form; they both need Time Stones to charge.)

The Moon Dragon sighed.

Compared to time-based skills that required sustenance to use, it would rather have star-based skills that it could cast anytime, anywhere.

Hearing this, David Jones patted Loona, momentarily unsure whether to offer comfort or congratulations.

So he picked up the jade pot filled with Dragon Blood and entrusted it to Loona for safekeeping, then he got back to work with his head down.

“Roar!” “Peep!”

Soon, the Gluttonous Beast and Goldy both opened their eyes, a trace of bewilderment still lingering in their pupils.

“Congratulations on your successful breakthrough, come over here and help me with this work,” David urged.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

After bathing in Dragon Blood, both the Gluttonous Beast and Goldy benefited greatly, their strength advancing from lower-level Class VI to middle-level Class VI.

The Gluttonous Beast did not awaken a new skill, but surprisingly, Goldy gained a new skill that astonished David.

“Skill”: Heavenly Thunderbolts

“Level”: Class VII thunder and fire dual-type growable skill

“Profile”: Heavenly Thunderbolts is divided into two stages. The first stage uses heavenly thunder to lock onto the enemy’s location and imprints an indelible thunder mark on the enemy’s soul.

The second stage is the collaboration of fire and thunder — the thunder boosting the fire’s power, causing Heavenly Thunderbolts to strike down upon those marked, with the thunder and fire not ceasing until the mark is gone.

Note: Heavenly Thunderbolts can connect with the skill Five Thunders at Hand to amplify its power; this skill cannot be dodged, nor can it be defended against with external objects.

“Gosh, the Gluttonous Beast can devour Flameless Dark Dragon Scales to enhance its defense, while Goldy awakens an offensive skill that can ignore the defense of the dragon scales. I wonder if the Gluttonous Beast’s Infinite Integration can actually devour the thunder mark of Heavenly Thunderbolts,” David thought to himself.

“Buzz!”

Just then, a strong light burst forth from the Chaos Emperor Blade in David’s hand.

Perhaps the Dragon Blood it absorbed was powerful enough, the Chaos Emperor Blade’s rank recovered from nine-refined to eight-refined in an instant.

“Not bad, not bad, kid, you’ve got the makings of a dear friend. To aid my revival, you’ve actually slaughtered a seventh-order Emperor Dragon.”

A faint blue light flickered as the consciousness of the sleeping blue dragonling awoke.

At this moment, the rate at which the Chaos Emperor Blade absorbed Dragon Blood also began to skyrocket.

“Stop!” David abruptly intervened, “As a friend, I don’t mind you absorbing a bit of Dragon Blood, but you can’t have the Essence Blood of an Emperor Dragon. I have a major use for it!”

At these words, Azr paused, speaking incredulously, “What do you mean? Don’t you want to possess an eight-refined heritage weapon?”

“Although that Emperor Dragon is a little weak, only at the apex of Class VII, the bloodline of its dragon race is extremely pure.

If I were to absorb all of it, I can not only return to the eight-refined rank, but I might even regain my peak form and advance to a nine-refined heritage weapon.”

“By that time, ordinary eighth-order Emperor Dragons would be like ants before me. You could slaughter as many as you like, the Dragon Balls and Dragon Hearts would all be yours!” Azr boasted.

“Could you kill an eighth-order Yamanano Brahma Dragon from the Semi-Immortal Level?” David countered.

Upon hearing this, Azr did not dare to answer, lapsing into silence.

“Looks like you can’t,” David said with regret.

If Azr truly could do it, he wouldn’t mind exchanging the Essence Blood of the Flameless Dark Dragon for the blood of a Yamanano Brahma Dragon.

After all, that was The Dragon of Destruction, within which coursed unimaginably powerful Quasi-god Dragon Blood.

“I was speaking of the eighth-order Emperor Dragons,” said Azr in a muted rebuttal.

But David landed a crushing blow with a single sentence.

“To be fair, an Eighth Order Quasi-God is also an eighth-order Emperor Dragon, so tell me, can you kill one or not?”

Azr: “…”
