The Strongest Dragon in the Era of Beast Taming-Chapter 982 - 976 Ashen Sacrifice

Chapter 982: Chapter 976: Ashen Sacrifice

Chapter 982: Chapter 976: Ashen Sacrifice

In the era of Beast Sovereignty, facing the enemy and choosing to put down one’s weapon meant giving up resistance.

Lily sheathed the Divine Flame Dragon Blade, and the flame armor on her body disappeared, revealing the neat military uniform of the Great Weill.

“Can you tell me your name now?”

“David Jones.”

“Good name.” Lily nodded and then said solemnly, “Is there a task that you need me to complete now?”

Upon hearing this, David Jones was slightly stunned and immediately looked towards Loona.

“I want to find a dragon.”

“What kind of dragon, ancient dragon species, sub-dragon species, True Dragon species, or a special dragon breed?” Lily inquired further.

“A special dragon breed, the Time Imperial Dragon that controls the power of time,” David Jones stated directly.

Ever since they arrived in this time and space, Loona naturally knew the opportunity for her breakthrough.

Simply put, in this era, there exists a Dragon of Time that is either somewhat similar or completely different from Loona, which could also be considered Loona’s past self.

If Loona killed and merged with her past self’s power, she would be able to complete her positional grading and successfully advance to an Eighth-Rank Emperor.

“Yi.” (That’s too cruel.)

Rainbow sighed.

Thankfully it was not a Dragon of Time, not having to traverse the timelines to kill another version of itself on a different timeline.

“Mie.” (Let’s find it first and talk later.)

A hint of hesitation appeared in Loona’s eyes.

“The Time Imperial Dragon?” Lily blinked, seeming a bit troubled.

The Time Imperial Dragon was a special dragon breed that only appeared in legends!

Having lived on this continent for forty years, she had seen several powerful Quasi-God dragons, but had never seen the Time Imperial Dragon even once.

Seeing Lily’s expression, David Jones was not surprised.

If the Time Imperial Dragon were so easy to find, then the Flowery Kingdom’s history would have had a Time-based Trainer at some point.

“Qua.” (I’m hungry.)

The Star Frog suddenly patted its round belly.

With ten meals a day, it couldn’t miss a single one.

“Shall we eat first?” David Jones suggested.

This 𝓬ontent is taken from fгeewebnovёl.co𝙢.

Lily nodded without rejecting the idea.

During the meal and conversation, David Jones gradually learned about this time-space from what Lily mentioned indirectly.

Unlike what was recorded in the history books, this era’s most powerful Beast nations were the Blood God Nation, Evil God Nation, Ash God Nation, Nether God Nation, and Dark God Nation—the Five Greats.

As the name ‘God Nation’ implied, each of these five great Beast nations was backed by an Immortal divine beast, possessing a terrifying force that ordinary dynasties could not even measure up to, and were also the most powerful forces on the continent.

Even the Great Weill Dynasty, ranked among the top three human powers, could not afford to offend the Five Greats and could only secretly form civilian organizations to eliminate the Beast Control Power within the nation that sacrificed human lives to Beasts.

David Jones was somewhat taken aback by this news.

Because the names of the Immortal divine beasts behind the Five Greats sounded somewhat familiar to him.

Besides the Heavenly Azure Dragon not being mentioned, the divine beasts behind the Blood God Nation, Evil God Nation, Ash God Nation, Nether God Nation, and Dark God Nation were identified as the Bloody Kirin, Gold Evil White Tiger, Ashen Vermilion Bird, Nether Black Tortoise, and Infernal Dark Dragon, respectively.

With five Immortal divine beasts suppressing the Mortal Realm, no wonder the human forces were in decline during this era.

“Yi!” (There are so many powerful beings in this era!)

Rainbow and Gluttonous Beast looked into each other’s eyes, both able to see the excitement in the other’s gaze.

While the former was eager to battle with the Immortal, the latter was eager to devour the Immortal.

It was known that just a partially devoured Kylin bone was enough to propel the Gluttonous Beast into Eighth Order Upper Rank.

If it could get its hands on an Immortal corpse, it believed it could ascend to Eighth Order Quasi-God within a week.

Unfortunately, the power of the Immortals was scarce in this era, or else the Gluttonous Beast might even consider igniting the divine fire to ascend to Immortality.

“The Weill Emperor is the only one amongst the Human who has a strength comparable to that of the Immortal Trainer, and with the help of the Immortal Artifact left by the Gareon Dynasty, he can even contend with the Bloody Kirin, which is why he can barely maintain the domestic situation,” Lily explained.

Though she didn’t understand why David Jones, a traveler of worlds, was so poorly informed, it didn’t bother her.

With Lily’s insight, it didn’t take long to see that there was something extraordinary about David Jones.

Whether it was the Time Imperial Dragon or the Destruction Emperor Dragon, both were unprecedented special dragon breeds in this era.

To be able to contract these dragon breeds, the identity of David Jones was definitely extraordinary.

Thinking of this, Lily hesitated for a moment before asking the question she had been wanting to ask.

“By the way, did you not use your full strength in that battle just now?”

At her words, David Jones smiled a little and said indifferently, “It was just a little sparring. I could tell that you, too, were holding back.”

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Just then, a terrifying force of sinister energy burst forth from the distant south, causing temperatures around the world to climb rapidly.

“That’s the energy of the Heavenly Vermilion Bird. No, it’s the Ashen Vermilion Bird!” Feeling the high and cold will contained in the sinister energy, David Jones’s eyes narrowed slightly.

Without a doubt, any being with such momentum was definitely a Class IX Immortal, far surpassing the strength of imposters like the Yamanano Brahma Dragon.

“Boring, the Ash Ritual has started again, hasn’t it!” Lily commented with a slight pout.

“What is the Ash Ritual?” David Jones asked bluntly.

After conversing for some time, he had already mostly figured out Lily’s character through his Golden Eyes of Flame and could afford to reveal some secrets to probe with Glimpse the Future.

Lily looked at David Jones intently, a hint of confusion appearing in her eyes for the first time.

Normally, a top-grade powerhouse like David Jones would definitely know about the Five Great Rituals, unless he came from another world.

“The Ash Ritual is one of the Five Great Divine Rituals,” Lily explained. “As time passes, the Immortal Power scattered throughout the heavens and the earth gradually fades away.”

“In order to regain Immortal Power, under the push of the Five Great God Nations, the blood rituals filled with bloodshed and terror, known as the Five Great Divine Rituals, began to emerge.”

“The Ash Ritual occurs once every ten years, and each event requires a million Beasts and a hundred thousand men and women from the Human race as offerings, to be blessed by the divine beast, the Ashen Vermilion Bird.”

At this point, a hint of sarcasm could be seen in Lily’s eyes.

“When the seven southern constellations shift, the Rule of Fire stirs, and the blessing of the Ashen Vermilion Bird turns all offerings to ashes – that’s the ritual. In pursuit of Divine Power, the gods know no taboos!”

Upon hearing her words, David Jones instinctively looked southward.

Even though he couldn’t change history through the gates of time and space, when he heard about the deaths of a hundred thousand Human, his heart quivered, and immediately, a rage burst forth in his heart.

Seeing this, Lily stepped forward to embrace David Jones, whispering into his ear.

“It’s too late! If you go there now, it would be meaningless besides throwing your life away.”

“David Jones, even though it sounds unbelievable, you’re not from this world, are you?”

“Your pets, attire, demeanor, even your thoughts, they all clash with this era.” Feeling the body in her arms stiffen slightly, Lily smiled.

She stepped back a pace, took David Jones’s right hand, and placed it over her heart, saying sincerely,

“Rest assured, I won’t betray you. Otherwise, you can pierce my heart at any moment.”
