Transformation Divine Weapon, Dragon Scale

"Qin Wangchuan." Lu Chen nodded, not at all surprised that he had come here.

"It seems those Dragon-Severing Stone really didn't stop you."

"You mean the mechanism in the passage?" Qin Wangchuan casually glanced around, his long, slender fingers lightly tapping his eye socket. "Every lock has a key. It's just a matter of finding the other person's location."

His gaze swept over the Dragon-Shaped Statue around him, a hint of amusement flashing in his eyes. "Just like now, haven't you led me here?"

Thanks.

Lu Chen's golden eyes narrowed sharply—behind this seemingly casual greeting lay a deadly trap.

However, that was before.

"Qin Wangchuan, I know you are very strong, and your background is terrifying." Lu Chen's golden eyes gradually brightened, but his voice was frighteningly calm. "That's why I don't want to make things irreversible."

"Give me back the small cauldron, and I'll forgive and forget what happened before."

"I don't want to kill indiscriminately either." Qin Wangchuan nodded and smiled. "Leave now, give me the fortuitous opportunity here, and I can pretend I never met you."

"fortuitous opportunity and fate, fate is definitely more important."

After saying that, he gave Lu Chen a deep look. "However, that should be impossible, right?"

"Certainly--"

As Lu Chen paused, the entire altar suddenly trembled violently.

The hundred Dragon Form stone statues simultaneously opened their blood-red eyes, their stone bodies emitting a teeth-grinding cracking sound as the outer stone skin peeled away, revealing the true form of the dark golden Dragon Scale inside.

"Roar--!"

Amidst a deafening roar, the stone statues transformed into a hundred Dark Gold Giant Dragon that soared into the sky.

At the same time, the altar floor surged like waves, and countless Dragon Scale floor tiles shot out, forming Covering the Sky and Sun killing array in mid-air.

Lu Chen stood in the center of the dragon formation, Qin Wangchuan's figure reflected in his golden eyes, his voice icy cold:

"Since there's no room for negotiation, then you might as well die here!"

After saying that, he ignored the terrible scene that might unfold behind him and instead walked intently toward the Dragon Scale Egg that shimmered with golden light in the center of the altar.

"Dragon Scale Treasure Armor..." Lu Chen's breathing rose and fell in sync with the golden light emanating from the dragon egg. "Only this thing... can bear the weight of the Dragon Scale."

"I see."

A familiar voice suddenly rang in my ears, so close I could almost feel the warmth of its breath.

Lu Chen's pupils suddenly contracted— Qin Wangchuan had somehow appeared half a step to his side, looking up at him together.

"It's called 'Dragon Scale,' right?" Qin Wangchuan tilted his head slightly, a faint smile playing on his lips. He held the Bronze Small Tripod that had originally belonged to Lu Chen in one hand, and sighed, "A nice name."

The Dark Gold Giant Dragon that should have annihilated everything ignored him, letting him stroll leisurely through the killing formation.

'Something's wrong with the stone statue?!' He turned around sharply and saw that the Qin Clan members had already begun fighting the giant dragon.

If the stone statue is fine, then the problem lies with Qin Wangchuan!

Then, Qin Wangchuan cleared up his doubts.

"It's just that these gatekeeper stone statues aren't very smart," Qin Wangchuan said, glancing back at the Dark Gold Giant Dragon, his tone devoid of any emotion. "They seem to identify anything with Dragon Qi as one of their own kind."

Lu Chen blurted out instinctively, "Where did you get your Dragon Qi from...?"

He suddenly froze as he spoke.

Dragon Scale could be faintly seen appearing all over Qin Wangchuan's body.

"You've eaten... Dragon Heart?"

Before he could finish speaking, Qin Wangchuan gently pressed his index finger against his temple, the tip of his finger gleaming with a cold, sharp light.

Lu Chen's muscles tensed instantly.

He could sense a dangerous force gathering at Qin Wangchuan's fingertips, capable of piercing his brain in an instant.

"It seems you've regained your memories..."

Before Qin Wangchuan's voice had even faded from the air, Lu Chen's golden pupils had already shrunk to the size of pinpoints.

"Laugh!"

A golden ray shot out from Qin Wangchuan's fingertip, instantly piercing through the void.

Lu Chen's gaze suddenly froze.

He saw his Blood Bead droplet hovering three inches from the tip of his nose, its crystal-clear surface reflecting Qin Wangchuan's ever-smiling handsome face.

"Then, I cannot let you live."

After this soft, sigh-like whisper fell, the Blood Bead droplet splattered onto the blue brick, shattering into twelve scarlet petals.

Lu Chen originally thought that Qin Wangchuan would be wary of the fortuitous opportunity.

At least they wouldn't make a move before finding the "Dragon Scale"—but unexpectedly, this person didn't hesitate for even a moment!

He would never understand, even in his death, that Qin Wangchuan had known everything all along.

The hundred Dark Gold Giant Dragon, having lost their master, suddenly froze and turned back into stone statues.

Even though he was Son of Luck, he had spent half his life hesitating in the mountains and was no match for Qin Wangchuan.

If he hasn't regained his memories, Qin Wangchuan could let Lu Chen play around with him.

However, there are too many variables in the Ancient Dragon Son has regained his memories.

Moreover, Qin Wangchuan wasn't sure if it was just his imagination, but he felt like he had gained something after killing Lu Chen.

'Is this Qi Yun is?'

Qin Wangchuan scoffed lightly and slowly walked towards the Dragon Scale Egg in the center of the altar.

As his fingertips brushed across the Golden Patterns flowing across the surface of the Dragon Scale Egg, the shell cracked under the weight the moment he touched it.

A snap.

The Dragon Scale Egg shattered, turning into pieces of Dragon Scale that covered Qin Wangchuan's body.

He could sense it.

These Dragon Scale scales are not only several times harder than the Dragon Scale obtained after consuming the Dragon Heart, but they also possess some special properties.

"You've been busy all day just for this?" Qin Zhaoer walked over, panting, and was very dissatisfied.

Those stone statues, being remnants of High Antiquity, are still quite powerful; even she found them difficult to deal with.

Only the fourth brother could easily resist.

"Of course not." Qin Wangchuan touched the armor on his body, then glanced at the walls around the altar.

If he's right, there should be a secret passage nearby that leads directly to another Dragon Cocoon, also known as the "Dragon Scale."

Sure enough, under the gaze of the Heavenly Derivation Divine Pupil, a symbol appeared on the wall.

The moment the fingertip touched the symbol, the entire stone wall suddenly rippled like water, revealing a deep passage.

The Dragon Form reliefs on both sides of the passage lit up one after another, and the golden light dancing in the dragon's eyes illuminated the path ahead.

"Pack up Lu Chen's body and all those stone statues and take them back to the Qin Clan."

After giving their instructions, Qin Wangchuan and his group entered the passage and arrived at the Side Hall.

At the end was a vast space, but from a distance, it appeared completely empty.

As Qin Wangchuan approached the Dragon Cocoon with the Bronze Small Tripod in his hand, a sudden change occurred—

The small cauldron suddenly trembled violently, and the ancient patterns on its surface lit up one by one, transforming into rays of golden light that shot into the void.

In the center of the Side Hall, which was originally empty, layers of spatial ripples suddenly appeared, slowly receding like a torn curtain.

With the Spatial Restriction completely lifted, the sealed Dragon Cocoon finally revealed its true form.

Curled up inside the cocoon was a young girl with skin as white as snow, long hair as black as ink, and a red scale between her brows, both alluring and beautiful. Her eyes were closed, as if she were asleep, and with each breath, the Dragon Qi inside the cocoon surged, washing over the surrounding space like a tide.

The Dragon Scale Treasure Armor that had just been obtained appeared on its own the moment it approached the girl, each scale resonating and trembling as if preparing to welcome her.

"I see..." A look of understanding flashed in Qin Wangchuan's eyes. "The small cauldron is the key, and the dragon scale armor is the proof."

At this point, he couldn't help but marvel at the wisdom of his ancestors.

"Obtaining such a treasure requires three verifications: a person, a cauldron, and armor."

"But even so, it still ended up in my hands in the end."

It's not that Lu Chen and his ancestors were too stupid, but that the simulation was too abnormal!

Qin Wangchuan placed his palm on the surface of the Dragon Cocoon, Dragon Scale Treasure Armor immediately emitted a dazzling golden light, resonating strongly with the breathing of the girl inside the cocoon.

"Buzz--"

The entire Side Hall suddenly trembled.

The girl slowly opened her eyes, her golden vertical pupils staring directly at Qin Wangchuan, the crimson scale between her brows gleaming brightly.

"You've come..." The girl's voice was ethereal and otherworldly, yet it carried the unique majesty of the High Antiquity Dragon Clan.

It felt as if we had traveled through endless years to finally reach this moment.

Qin Wangchuan's lips curled slightly, his gaze calm and serene. "I've arrived."

As soon as she finished speaking, the girl in the cocoon began to breathe rapidly, and the Dragon Qi surged like a tide, with fine cracks spreading across the surface of the cocoon like a spider web.

The next moment.

The girl's body suddenly became ethereal, transforming into a dark golden Dragon Pattern that spiraled upwards along Qin Wangchuan's arm like a dragon returning to its nest.

As if summoned, the Dragon Scale Treasure Armor automatically transformed into a black inner armor, perfectly blending with the flowing light.

"Whoosh!"

The golden light faded, Qin Wangchuan's original clothes disappeared, replaced by a black dragon Dragon Robe with Golden Patterns.

A lifelike, dark golden True Dragon coiled upwards from his robes, its head perched proudly on his right shoulder and its tail wrapped around his left wrist. The Dragon Pattern was not inanimate; each scale opened and closed slightly with his breath, exuding a breathtaking Dragon Might.

Faintly, a low dragon's roar seemed to echo in the void, shaking people's Divine Soul.

Before the dragon's roar had faded, a vast, ocean-like power of cultivation suddenly surged into Qin Wangchuan's body.

That was the power that the girl had accumulated during her endless years of waiting, and now it all merged with him.

The World Barrier were shattered one after another like thin paper, Spiritual Power surged and roared through his meridians, and every inch of his flesh and blood underwent a transformation under the tempering of the Dragon Qi.

He could clearly feel that his cultivation level was rising rapidly!

Just as Qin Wangchuan's Spiritual Power was about to break through the final barrier, a chill suddenly came from his neck.

"Huh?"

A clear, cold female voice rang in his Sea of Consciousness, like an icy spring flowing through scalding lava.

Yuniang awoke with a start, her voice filled with rare astonishment. "Break through at this moment, aren't you cutting off your own path to becoming Celestial Person?"
