Five-Thousand-Year Nine-Colored Centipede Dragon!

Five-Thousand-Year Nine-Colored Centipede Dragon!

"Old Poison, I'm a monstrous prodigy. Naturally, the age of the Soul Rings I absorb can't be compared to ordinary standards."

"A genius prodigy should absorb Soul Rings worthy of a genius prodigy."

Li Fei curled his lips into a confident smile.

"The impact from a Soul Beast of that age is immense. I'm worried your body won't be able to withstand it."

"Moreover, the spiritual resentment of a Soul Beast of that age is incredibly powerful."

"If you die, that would be a terrible loss."

Dugu Bo earnestly tried to dissuade him.

"Hahaha, you don't need to worry about that."

"If I dare to absorb it, then I won't be joking with my own life."

Li Fei laughed. The next second, the Azure Dragon Staff appeared in his hand, and three Soul Rings—purple, black, and black—emerged around him. A powerful aura spread from his body.

"My Second Soul Ring is ten thousand years old, and my Third Soul Ring is thirty thousand years old! Naturally, my Fourth Soul Ring has to be of an even higher age!"

"And my body is incredibly strong!"

He remained full of confidence in himself.

"Fine. Since that's the case, I won't try to persuade you anymore."

Although this was not Dugu Bo's first time seeing such a Soul Ring configuration, it was still astonishing the second time around.

The two quickly entered the depths of Sunset Forest.

Li Fei planted the Azure Dragon Staff in his hand into the ground.

Closing his eyes, he used his bloodline to sense the area, searching for a suitable Soul Beast.

He was more inclined toward a ten-thousand-year Nine-Colored Centipede Dragon.

A slightly lower age would not be a problem. After all, his Azure Dragon Staff could absorb Soul Rings to increase their age.

Although this poison posed no threat to him, to others, it was something terrifying—a disaster capable of mass extinction.

However, this type of Soul Beast had already become exceedingly rare, and he could not guarantee that any still existed.

In search of a suitable Soul Beast for his Fourth Soul Ring, Dugu Bo and Li Fei embarked on a long journey.

In the blink of an eye, seven days had passed.

Strength Clan.

Delayed by certain matters, the old clan leader, Tai Tan, had not returned seven days earlier. He only arrived at the clan now.

As soon as Tai Tan arrived, Tainuo sought out his father and told him what had happened seven days ago.

Tai Tan was instantly so furious that his beard bristled and his eyes widened.

"You brat! You actually couldn't even defeat a child! And you're the clan head of the Strength Clan! What kind of clan head are you?!"

"Father, that kid was truly too strange. But after that beating, I trained desperately over these past seven days and finally broke through to Level 50 Soul King today. Once I obtain my Fifth Soul Ring, I'll personally go find that kid and take revenge!"

"I'll personally reclaim the face I lost!"

Tainuo lowered his head, too embarrassed to raise it as he spoke.

At the mention of revenge, his fists involuntarily clenched.

Tai Tan snorted. "It had better be so. Still, breaking through to Soul King is a good thing. I'll take you to Sunset Forest right now to hunt your Fifth Soul Ring."

"Yes, Father!" Tainuo nodded.

"Where's Long'er?" Tai Tan did not see his most beloved grandson and asked with a frown.

"He's gone to the academy. Because of what happened seven days ago, he can barely hold his head up at school now. We must win this time and restore his standing!" Tainuo said.

"Hmph, isn't it because you're useless and couldn't even handle something so simple?"

"Couldn't you have brought a Soul Emperor or Soul Saint from the clan with you?"

Tai Tan snorted.

"The dean of Blue Tyrant Academy is a Soul Saint. I thought you would be better at keeping things under control." Tainuo gave an awkward smile.

"Hmph, useless! Move it!"

Tai Tan was angered into laughter as he led his disappointing son toward Sunset Forest.

"It's already been seven days. We found several Soul Beasts with decent ages before, but you didn't like any of them. If it were someone else, they would have absorbed them without hesitation."

"You want to find a Nine-Colored Centipede Dragon, but that species is nearly extinct. It's extraordinarily rare. I'm not even sure whether Sunset Forest has one."

Within Sunset Forest, Dugu Bo and Li Fei had searched for seven days, yet Li Fei still had not found a suitable Fourth Soul Ring. Dugu Bo sat in a valley and gazed into the distance as he spoke.

"Let's keep looking. If we still can't find one, I'll use something else." Li Fei sighed.

"Do you want to rest in this old man's garden?" Dugu Bo asked.

"Not yet. We'll go after we find it." Li Fei shook his head.

Suddenly, the Azure Dragon Staff beside him seemed to sense something, immediately prompting him to rise.

"Found it?" Dugu Bo looked at the Azure Dragon Staff.

Over these seven days, he had also come to understand how extraordinary this staff was.

It could actually locate Soul Beasts with dragon bloodlines.

If Li Fei had not been so picky, he would have finished hunting long ago.

"Yes, I found it. It's one kilometer east of here. Let's go take a look."

Li Fei nodded, gripped the Azure Dragon Staff, activated the Power of the Azure Dragon, and flew in that direction.

Dugu Bo quickly followed.

Before long, the two landed in a mountain ravine within a dense forest.

The place was gloomy and damp.

"This place is truly secluded and mysterious. If the Azure Dragon Staff hadn't sensed it, we never would have found it."

Li Fei sniffed, and a pungent odor entered his nose.

"Yes, that aura is poison."

"And there isn't just one kind of poison in it. There are nine extreme poisons mixed together. Little Monster, perhaps we really found it this time."

"Nine mixed poisons, along with a dragon bloodline... it really could be a Nine-Colored Centipede Dragon. If it didn't possess a dragon bloodline, the Azure Dragon Staff could never have sensed it."

Light flashed in Li Fei's eyes.

The reason he was so certain was that thousand-year Nine-Colored Centipedes still possessed centipede bloodlines and had not developed dragon bloodlines. Naturally, the Azure Dragon Staff would not care for them.

Since it could be sensed, that meant this Nine-Colored Centipede had evolved into a Nine-Colored Centipede Dragon.

As for a Hundred-Thousand-Year Nine-Colored Centipede Wyrm, that was probably impossible.

At that moment, streams of poison shot toward them.

"Careful! That's Nine-Colored Poison!"

Dugu Bo's expression changed.

"Don't panic."

Li Fei scattered a pile of Universal Antidote Pills from his hand to block them.

Bang!

Upon touching the poison, the Universal Antidote Pills exploded, and all the poison vanished into nothingness.

"You actually have so many Universal Antidote Pills? Using them like this is far too wasteful!" Dugu Bo was shocked, but also pained.

"I have plenty more. This much is nothing." Li Fei did not care.

As long as he kept one pill in reserve, he could use Growth Force to replicate it infinitely. He truly did not feel the slightest bit distressed.

Hiss! Roar~

The cry of a Ferocious Beast rang out.

It rushed out from the gloomy darkness.

Under the sunlight, its true form quickly became visible.

It was neither quite a snake nor quite a dragon.

This was a flood dragon.

An awkward state between a snake and a dragon.

Li Fei activated the Power of the Azure Dragon and wielded the Nine Strengths of the Azure Dragon.

He swung his staff three times in rapid succession!

A full three-hundred-percent increase!

Terrifying beyond belief!

All three strikes landed on the giant flood dragon's head, sending it flying and smashing it through a small mountain.

"Whew~ That felt great~"

Li Fei deliberately restrained his Dragon Breath. He did not make the dragon kneel and kill itself on sight, because he also wanted to exchange a few moves with it.

He could now easily unleash the third strike.

"Hiss! The power of those three strikes is actually this immense!" Dugu Bo's eyes widened. "Truly terrifying beyond belief!!!!"

"Old Poison, set up an array for me. I'll personally take on this thing." Li Fei was brimming with fighting spirit.

"Fine, but be careful. The aura this beast is giving off is at least fifty thousand years old!" Dugu Bo nodded. He also wanted to witness Li Fei's strength.

The beast before them could now be confirmed as a fifty-thousand-year Nine-Colored Centipede Dragon!

"Alright, I understand." Li Fei held the Azure Dragon Staff and stepped forward, charging ahead.
