Contention for the Dragon Seed

The golden light, blocked by the black light, folded back even faster.

The black light followed closely behind it, its speed not falling behind in the slightest!

As the black light streaked past Jing Qian, a faint blue magical energy shimmer flashed in his perception and was gone.

This black light was actually a seventh-grade Blue Blood great demon!

Looking at its form, it was a crocodile dragon covered in dark black scales.

This crocodile dragon wasn't large, only about seven or eight meters long, but its dragon head and crocodile body were extremely fierce, making one tremble with fear at the sight!

This crocodile dragon's cultivation was two major ranks higher than the dragon carp's. The dragon carp, locked onto by it, could only struggle to survive, gradually falling under the crocodile dragon's control.

This crocodile dragon didn't directly suppress it. Instead, it used its magical power and speed advantage to forcefully corral the dragon carp into a circle.

Whenever the dragon carp wanted to break through this range and escape into the distance, the crocodile dragon would suddenly accelerate, turning into an even faster black light, blocking it and forcing it back.

In Jing Qian's eyes, he saw this golden light circling and turning in the seawater, extremely agile.

But it was completely trapped by this black light!

With the Dragon Gate Grass Ball as the center, as long as the golden light flew outwards, it would definitely be blocked by the black light.

But flying inwards was completely free, without any hindrance.

Slowly, the golden light's range of activity became smaller and smaller, leaving only the one-mile radius around the grass ball.

Just then, the crocodile dragon suddenly sent out a magical sound transmission that echoed throughout this sea area:

"Dragon carp, since you couldn't resist the temptation and have shown yourself, don't think about escaping anymore!"

"Just eat this grass ball in peace and successfully complete your advancement."

"I promise you, if you successfully advance, I will only take ninety percent of your essence blood and leave you with your life!"

The crocodile dragon's magical energy aura surged in this sea area, and the pressure it exerted on the dragon carp also grew stronger.

Seeing that it truly couldn't break free, the dragon carp resigned itself and swam towards the grass ball.

It began to devour the Dragon Gate Grass Ball again, but while it was still eating grass, before it was self-driven, now it was forced.

A sense of helplessness and listlessness, as if being forced to work a dead-end job, actually emerged from the dragon carp.

With this crocodile dragon lurking outside, Jing Qian dared not leave the Void Realm for a moment.

He had long since given up on coveting the Crimson Scale Dragon Carp, and instead treated the scene before him as a grand play!

This seventh-grade crocodile dragon was extremely rare; there was no chance to see one on a normal day.

Jing Qian simply treated all of this as an opportunity to broaden his horizons.

The Crimson Scale Dragon Carp no longer thought about escaping, but focused solely on devouring the Dragon Gate Grass Ball, and its speed naturally became faster and faster.

In just under half an hour, this grass ball was completely devoured.

Afterward, waves of blue and white magical energy light suddenly began to emanate from the dragon carp's body.

It had actually begun the sublimation of its life essence, advancing from the White Fang rank towards the Azure Wing rank!

This Crimson Scale Dragon Carp is a unique spiritual fish native to the Hun Zhou sea area. Legend has it that tens of millions of years ago, a true dragon of the Golden Root rank or higher perished in this sea area, and this unique bloodline evolved from it.

This spiritual fish can carry a trace of Purple Eye dragon blood within its White Fang flesh and blood, truly a marvel of creation.

And precisely because of this trace of dragon blood, the Crimson Scale Dragon Carp exhibits extraordinary value.

For living beings, consuming the flesh and blood of the dragon carp can increase lifespan and improve physique.

For dragon species like the Crocodile Dragon, it can also purify their own bloodline and deepen their innate potential.

Therefore, this dragon carp can also be said to be a living spiritual medicine whose value far exceeds its rank.

And the reason why such a rare and weak spiritual medicine has not gone extinct is entirely due to its two inherent characteristics.

The first is the secret technique Dragon Travel Technique, which comes from the dragon bloodline.

This secret technique can help the dragon carp possess extremely terrifying speed in water.

Beings below the seventh rank cannot even touch their edge.

The second characteristic is the Hidden Dragon Destiny Constitution that every dragon carp possesses.

This Destiny Constitution can help the dragon carp conceal all extraordinary aura, maintaining the state of an ordinary sea fish.

As long as they don't break their disguise themselves, even a seventh-rank enemy cannot distinguish them from the endless ocean fish.

Relying on these two characteristics, instances where the Crimson Scale Dragon Carp is actually captured by others are extremely rare.

And this further pushes up the value of this spiritual fish.

For thousands of years, countless fishermen have dreamed of catching a Crimson Scale Dragon Carp, instantly achieving financial freedom and ascending in social class on the spot.

And this Dragon Gate Grass Ball is a special bait for dragon carp that came into being through the efforts of fishermen.

This grass ball is refined from an eighth-rank spiritual grass called Dragon Saliva Grass, which is also a treasure related to the true dragon bloodline.

Crimson Scale Dragon Carp consuming Dragon Saliva Grass can greatly enhance their life essence and bloodline purity, making it a unique spiritual bait that is enough to attract dragon carp and break their own concealment.

Within the coverage area of this grass ball, all dragon carp will abandon their disguise and rush over immediately. The effect is much stronger than catnip teasing a cat!

The grass ball is extremely effective, with only one drawback: the cost is too expensive and the refining difficulty is high.

Using one grass ball, if only one dragon carp is caught, it is definitely a huge loss. Only by catching two can the cost barely be recovered.

So, free grass balls are the best!

It is unknown since when, in the Hun Zhou sea area, fishermen who use Dragon Gate Grass Balls to bait and fish for dragon carp, if they do not have the cultivation of the seventh-rank Prolonging Life realm, are defaulted to have grown tired of living!

This is because as soon as the grass ball is deployed, a seventh-rank dragon-blooded great demon will inevitably appear.

If Jing Qian did not have this Void Realm to conceal himself, he would have already been buried in the belly of the Crocodile Dragon at this moment.

And this Crocodile Dragon, as the first seventh-rank being to arrive, occupied this Dragon Gate Grass Ball and declared its sovereignty with its own magic power.

Normally, a single dragon carp, although precious, is not worth a seventh-rank being competing for it head-on.

However, when this dragon carp, which had already reached the peak of White Fang, began its crucial advancement, everything changed again!

No dragon species great demon can give up an eighth-rank Golden Dragon Carp after it has advanced!

After completing the promotion, the trace of Golden Root dragon blood within the Dragon Carp's body is enough to elevate a seventh-grade dragon species' bloodline by one level!

Precisely because of this, a plump pink great turtle and a flawless white jade lobster appeared outside the sea area designated by the Crocodile Dragon at some unknown time.

Two seventh-grade Blue Blood great demons, both possessing true dragon bloodlines, stood silently on the periphery, intently watching the Dragon Carp's promotion.

If it truly succeeded in its promotion, a seventh-grade battle would be completely unavoidable!

And Jing Qian was also incredibly looking forward to this!
