Lance, I Still Hope the Black Dragon Outlives You

Lance didn't believe that the Sacred Golden Dragon Constantine simply wanted to see his second domain, which had been shown to Austin and Eileen, and he didn't mind letting Constantine know about it.

He wasn't afraid of Constantine destroying this domain, since he had other domains besides these two. The new domain, the Heavenly Court, was under construction. Although only the South Heaven Gate had been built so far, the Heavenly Court would become more and more complete over time.

If time allowed, he wanted to recreate all the myths and legends from his past life and turn them into a domain.

The entire mythological realm.

So even if the Sword Domain is destroyed, he doesn't mind.

"Aren't you afraid I'll destroy your second territory?"

"There's nothing to be afraid of. I have no obsession with becoming a god. The shattering of my domain may be unacceptable to other powerful beings, but for me, it only means a sharp reduction in lifespan. I have no obsession with immortality, nor am I afraid of death."

Constantine stared at Lance with a half-smile for a while, then suddenly raised his hand and patted Lance's shoulder. "Your mindset is good. Keep it up, or you will really lose your chance to become a god. You can't condense your divine spark and ignite your Divine Fire with your current mindset."

As soon as he finished speaking, Constantine suddenly realized that perhaps it was precisely because of his mindset that Human Lance who had opened up two realms, had not yet condensed his divine essence.

Under normal circumstances, a powerful figure like him should have already tried to condense a divine spark.

Does this human really have no interest in becoming a god? "He has a little ambition, I suppose. If those old guys in the Ancient God Temple of the human world knew that there was such an oddball as you in the human world, they'd probably be so angry that they'd come out of the human world to find you."

Ancient God Temple? There's such an organization in the human world? Lance was surprised. He had traveled in the human world for so many years and had never heard of the Ancient God Temple, but he had heard of the Source Tower.

What is Ancient God Temple?

"???"

Constantine's eyes widened in disbelief. A human powerhouse like Lance didn't know about the Ancient God Temple? Then, a look of sudden realization dawned on his face. This guy was too low-key; so low-key that even the Ancient God Temple hadn't noticed him.

"The history of the Ancient God Temple can be traced back to the Age of Dragons. At that time, the only humans who could contend with us dragons were those from the Ancient God Temple. Later, the Age of Dragons ended, and humans rose to power. The Ancient God Temple also disappeared into the long river of history. However, most of the heroes and warriors who suddenly appeared and disappeared in the human world are related to the Ancient God Temple."

My understanding of the Ancient God Temple is limited to this. Oh, right, there's also a rumor that some of the ancient immortals in the Ancient God Temple who haven't condensed their divine essence or ignited their Divine Fire possess the strength to contend with the gods.

They haven't contacted you; either you're being too low-key, or you're so capable that they'd want to recruit you.

The Ancient God Temple is that powerful?! He knew that there must be a powerful being in the human world who could suppress him, the black dragon.

Fortunately, he never did evil and never intended to leave a bad name in the human world.

When he's doing things like kidnapping princesses to rack up achievements, he always chooses small, insignificant kingdoms.

If he hadn't been cautious enough, he probably would have been targeted by the powerful humans in the Ancient God Temple long ago.

Wait a minute—he seems to have become a bit more active lately.

He was quite active with both the black dragon and the Human Lance.

He operated in Saint Blue under the identity of the Human Lance, defeating not only the Dragon Island Giant Dragon who challenged him, but also the Prehistoric Dragon Colon.

Oh, and he even fought against the Sacred Golden Dragon Constantine. Although one of his domains was destroyed, he still has another. His identity as the Black Dragon is even more remarkable. He first defeated the Golden Dragon, the Lightning Dragon, Hammond, and the War God Holy Mountain Saintess Sophia's siege. He even defeated the gods that Sophia summoned twice in a row.

He even suppressed the Sacred Golden Dragon. If this achievement were to spread, wouldn't he, as a black dragon, be targeted by those old immortals in the Ancient God Temple?

And then Human Lance, the human, whose battle record is also quite impressive. If the Ancient God Temple notices Saint Lance, wouldn't they try to contact him? Subduing the Black Dragon.

Recruiting Human Lance.

Why didn't Constantine reveal the Ancient God Temple to him sooner?

He didn't want to come into contact with ancient entities like the Ancient God Temple, always feeling that these people living in the shadows of history were old Silver Coin.

"Your reaction is a bit off. Normally, you should feel excited to learn that there is such a powerful and ancient being in the human world."

"What's there to be excited about? I have no interest in becoming a god, let alone the so-called Ancient God Temple you're talking about."

"That makes some sense. Alright, enough with the nonsense. Come on, let me see how powerful you are in this field. Don't worry, I'll hold back this time and won't destroy your field."

"Good."

Lance's figure suddenly disappeared from Constantine's sight.

"The Milky Way Falls from the Nine Heavens."

Constantine, who was sitting on the ground, suddenly looked up at the night sky. The night sky cracked open, and the surging sword intent transformed into the Milky Way, pouring down from the sky and swallowing him up.

Constantine closed his eyes, using his mind to resist Lance's sword intent.

The sword intent attacked his Divine Soul; the cool sword intent pierced through his dragon body and directly attacked his Divine Soul.

It was clearly a cool sword intent, but when the sword intent, which had transformed into the Milky Way, touched his Divine Soul, it actually made him feel an extreme coldness, a colder sword intent than ice and snow.

Where the Milky Way Sword Intent flowed, even a layer of faint frost appeared on the surface of his Divine Soul.

This thing can freeze the dragon soul of an ordinary Pure-Blooded Dragon! Wait a minute!

It can directly freeze the dragon soul of Pure-Blooded Dragon.

But it can't hurt him.

With a thought, a layer of golden flames ignited on the surface of his Divine Soul — Divine Fire.

Wherever the Divine Fire passed, the ice and frost melted, and the sword intent dissipated.

Lance's domain is very strong, but it's a pity he hasn't condensed a divine spark and ignited the Divine Fire. If he could ignite the Divine Fire Divine Fire and imbue his sword intent with its power, he would truly be qualified to fight him head-on.

The Milky Way Falls from the Nine Heavens; a very good sword intent.

Let it dissipate.

The golden Divine Fire burned away all the cool sword intent that surged into his Divine Soul world, turning it into nothingness.

It was time to return to reality. Constantine opened his eyes, and the moment he did, a look of astonishment appeared in his eyes. Where was he?

This is not where he was just now.

The surrounding vegetation is gone.

The chirping of insects and croaking of frogs had ceased, and he was now in a place that exuded a chilly atmosphere and looked somewhat desolate.

The surrounding area was filled with large trees he had never seen before.

Huh? Someone's here!

He saw a shirtless man chopping down a big tree with an axe.

Lance?

This doesn't seem like Lance; something's off.

"Human, where is this? Where is Lance?"

Constantine walked up to the shirtless human, looking at this strange man with black hair and black eyes, the axe in his hand... radiating divinity?!

This is a divine artifact?! "Human? You should call me a god. You're a bit ugly. Never mind, the Jade Rabbit is currently lacking companions. Since you're here, stay and keep the Jade Rabbit company."

"Let me see if you have the ability."

Constantine raised his dragon claw and slammed it down on the shirtless human. The shirtless human grinned, picked up his axe, and swung it casually.

Snap—

The claw of the Sacred Golden Dragon Constantine broke off from the dragon bowl and fell to the ground with a thud, spraying dragon blood.

"My dragon claw."

"It's broken."

"Impossible! I am Sacred Golden Dragon, and you cannot easily sever my claws!"

"What's impossible? I'm a god, cutting you down is easier than cutting down a tree. I'll give you a chance to live. Stay here and become the Jade Rabbit's partner."

If you continue to resist, then you'll become my food.

"Die!"

Constantine opened his mouth and spewed out Dragon Breath Dragon Breath, which, mixed with the power of Divine Fire, instantly engulfed the shirtless, axe-wielding giant.

"No good, your little flame can't even give me a bit of heat. Let me show you the chill of the Moon Palace."

The shirtless man opened his mouth and blew out a breath, a cold current swept over Constantine, freezing Constantine in place.

The frozen Constantine saw a rabbit hop towards him, leap up, and punch him, sending him flying into the sky. Impossible! Absolutely impossible! How could a Sacred Golden Dragon like him be sent flying by a rabbit? Where is this?

He was clearly within Lance's territory, so how did he suddenly appear here?

Where did Lance go?

Constantine, who had been sent flying into the air by a rabbit's punch, coldly gazed at the scenery below.

Wrong!

This is not Lance's territory; he is still in his Divine Soul world! Lance invaded his Divine Soul world and constructed this false scene within Divine Soul!

Or perhaps, Lance pulled his Divine Soul into a false world he had created!

Is this... a fake world? Why does she find this fake world so terrifyingly real? "Lance, come out, where am I?"

"The Moon Palace, the spiritual world, is also part of my domain. You lost this time. If I wanted to, I could completely suppress your Divine Soul in this world. You were careless."

The shirtless man transformed into Lance's appearance, while the Jade Rabbit beside him remained in its rabbit form.

Lance threw away his axe and floated lightly to Constantine's side, looking at Constantine with a smile.

The realm of mythology.

Mythological spiritual world.

Unexpectedly, the mythical spiritual world gave him a pleasant surprise on his first try.

He casually chopped off Constantine's dragon claw with an axe from his spiritual world, which was beyond his expectations.

We need to study this carefully.

He was afraid that the idea of the mythical spiritual world being inexplicably blessed with divine power was too far-fetched.

As the Moon Palace disappeared, Lance also slowly vanished before Constantine's eyes.

Constantine noticed that the dragon claw that had fallen to the ground had disappeared, and his dragon claw had returned to normal.

A bright light flashed by, and he instinctively closed his eyes. When he opened them again, he saw the familiar surroundings.

The moonlight was cool and clear, accompanied by the sounds of insects and frogs. Lance sat on the cool moon.

"Let's come down and talk."

Lance, sitting on the moon, flashed and appeared in front of Constantine. "You're not going to be so angry that you're planning to destroy my domain, are you?"

"Tell me about the mental world you just created."

"I can't explain it, and you wouldn't understand even if I did. So, what do you think? Don't you think the mental world I just created is amazing?"

Awesome? Awesome my ass!

It gave him quite a fright! He had to admit that, as Sacred Giant Dragon, he was genuinely shaken by that spiritual world for a moment just now.

Although that spiritual world was fake, the sacred aura it was filled with made him feel as if it were the residence of some great god.

The important thing is that the person Lance transformed into, and the tone of his voice when speaking to him, truly had the air of a god.

And his eyes, holy and aloof.

"Why were you able to pull me into that spiritual world?"

"You relaxed. The moment your Divine Soul relaxed, I took advantage of the situation and pulled your Divine Soul into the spiritual world I constructed. To be honest, I might not be able to kill you there, but I can trap you there."

It slowly eroded you. Theoretically, it's possible to do that, but in reality, on my first attempt, I don't even know if I have the ability.

Lance smiled and told him the truth.

Constantine had no hostility towards him; if he had, he would have trapped Constantine in that constructed mythical spiritual world just now.

???

First attempt?

How could his Divine Soul, that Sacred Giant Dragon, suffer such a great loss in the spiritual world on his very first attempt?

If he becomes proficient, wouldn't that mean he can trap this Sacred Giant Dragon in that spiritual world at any time?

"You're a bit too dangerous."

"Don't think too highly of me. I already said that the reason I was able to pull you into the spiritual world I constructed was because your Divine Soul relaxed at a certain moment. If your Divine Soul had always been on high alert, I wouldn't have been able to pull you into the spiritual world so easily."

Furthermore, the scenes in the spiritual world are fictional. If your Divine Soul is powerful enough, you can easily break through the spiritual world, and it is I who will get hurt.

The mental world is suitable for surprise attacks, but it's not as effective as you might think, so don't be too afraid. If you keep thinking the worst, I'm the one who should be afraid—I'm afraid you, this Sacred Golden Dragon, will suddenly kill me.

Lance was trying to reduce his own level of danger, and in fact, he was not that dangerous.

That move was just something I tried on a whim.

Constantine remained silent. He had no intention of harming Lance, as there were many humans in the world more powerful than Lance.

If encountering such a person would give rise to thoughts of harming him, then when a young dragon with decent strength appears in their dragon race, human powerhouses would probably do the same.

To his relief, the Human Lance was strong, but the black dragon was no weakling either.

A remarkable and powerful Human Lance has appeared in the human world.

Among their dragon race, there also emerged a black dragon, a colossal dragon whose power was almost absurd.

The black dragon and the Human Lance have a good relationship.

Even so, I still hope you die soon.
