Chapter 242 - Dragon Race
“Swoosh!”
The divine dragon let out a breath in the direction of the Blood Crow Palace’s Lord and a faint green mist spewed out from its mouth.
The surrounding air instantly burned!
As the green mist streaked through the void, the surrounding space went into a state of chaos while light distorted!
“Dragon Flame!”
The Palace Lord’s expression changed starkly as he exclaimed.
Dragon Flame was an innate ability unique to the dragon race. After every dragon was born, they would naturally be able to master this ability after growing to a certain state.
Furthermore, the older they grew, the deeper their cultivations would become. In turn, the might of Dragon Flame would grow as well, even till the point of being able to incinerate the heavens and seas!
Even if there were, they were extremely short and vague.
By reading many ancient books, one could piece together some limited information.
Dragons were terrifying existences of the primordial era. They were not part of the demon race and were a unique race of their own, known as the dragon race.
Legend has it that the dragon race was extremely strong and they were incomparably glorious in the primordial era, reigning through the ancient times!
However, for some unknown reason, the dragon race disappeared from the sands of time and became extinct, turning into mere legends.
Su Zimo bore a sense of doubt towards those records.
From his point of view, since the dragon race possessed such a majestic history, there would definitely be some traces of them left in Tianhuang Mainland.
Before this, Su Zimo had never seen anything about it before.
Instantly, an image of the massive skeleton that nearly penetrated the entire sea of bones appeared in Su Zimo’s mind.
Could that have been… a dragon’s corpse?!
The thought of that possibility gave Su Zimo a shock.
Frowning, he recalled what was said earlier on and a thought flashed through his mind, “Nine races? What is that?”
On the other end, a glint flickered through the gray robed cultivator’s eyes momentarily upon hearing that.
“He’s someone of the nine races?”
“Blood Pattern Curse. Could it be…”
The gray robed cultivator’s eyes flashed as he guessed the identity of the Palace Lord.
“So what if you’re someone of the nine races? Notwithstanding the fact that your bloodline is impure making you a bastard child, even if you were pure-blooded, coming here to eat a descendant of the dragon race is just asking to die!”
Within the void, a deep and powerful voice boomed out. Every single word that came out was like a clap of thunder that shook one’s mind.
Swoosh!
The divine dragon swayed its tail.
Filled with green scales, the dragon’s tail that was thick like a divine whip slammed down at the Palace Lord with a destructive force!
“Ah!”
The Palace Lord’s expression changed starkly as he exclaimed.
Before the dragon’s tail even arrived, a suffocating aura of death had already approached.
The Palace Lord bit his tongue gently and spat out a drop of blood essence.
After spitting out the blood essence, the Palace Lord seemed to have weakened massively as his eyes dimmed in a dispirited manner.
By sacrificing that essence blood, he would have to take more than ten years of recuperation to recover even if he could survive that dragon’s tail.
“Go!”
The Palace Lord chanted a chain of obscure incantations and waved his blood-colored bone staff, pointing it forward.
The blood light transformed into a gigantic skeleton which gnawed towards the dragon’s tail!
At the same time, the Palace Lord took out a handful of talismans from his storage bag and crushed them all!
His eyes revealed a pained expression.
He had gathered those talismans through the course of many years, but he did not expect that they would all be used up in this one round.
He was painfully aggrieved for this battle!
He was originally chasing a mere Foundation Establishment Cultivator that was bound to be killed.
But for some reason, he was the one being put in a passive position for the entire situation, as if someone was leading him by the nose.
After a round of torture, he arrived at this place by some freak accident and took on the blame of being targeted by a divine dragon without even seeing anyone at all…!
