Chapter 239

Seeing his serious expression, the Black Dragon Lord's eyes lit up with interest. "Boy, do you know what it means to inherit the authority of the Five Chromatic Dragons?"

"What does it represent..." Shen Xing asked doubtfully, "Is there any special meaning behind this?"

The Black Dragon Lord narrowed his eyes, observed him for a moment, then chuckled softly, "You'll understand later. Right now, you're still too weak; knowing too much isn't good."

"I see."

Shen Xing nodded in realization, but couldn't help but think to himself, "Why are there riddle tellers everywhere?"

One day, he'll arrest all these riddle-solving people, hang them up and whip them for three days and three nights, and then never tell them why.

The Black Dragon Lord instinctively realized that he was probably cursing himself in his heart.

However, because Shen Xing has now inherited the authority of two Five Chromatic Dragons, He can no longer peer into his heart as before.

The Black Dragon Lord didn't argue with him further, and said in a deep voice, "Human... I have expended too much energy in this battle and urgently need to go into seclusion to recuperate for a period of time."

"Then, farewell."

Having said that, He flapped His wings, which blotted out the sky, and prepared to take flight.

"Wait a minute, Kazdoreth!?" Shen Xing hurriedly called out to him, "What about the reward we promised?"

The Black Dragon Lord glanced back at him, his voice lowering further. "I have expended too much energy this time. If I were to condense more essence blood and scales, my strength would greatly decrease, and I might even fall below my current cultivation level..."

"I'll give you these rewards when we meet again, how about that?"

His voice was weak, and his eyes were slightly closed, as if he truly had very little strength left.

A bitter smile appeared on Shen Xing's lips, "Great Black Dragon Lord, I know your difficulties, but things aren't easy for me either."

"To rescue you from the tomb, I poured all the resources and troops of my territory out; nearly two thousand people were brought out with me."

"But look, how many people are left here now...?"

"In your eyes, they may just be a bunch of weak ants, but in my eyes, they are my loyal subordinates who have supported me all the way."

"If I go back empty-handed, how can I face these fallen heroes...?"

His voice was filled with sorrow, and tears welled up in his eyes. The soldiers below were also moved, wiping away their own tears.

The lord is far too temperamental.

They value even these newly summoned cannon fodder so much, treating them like family. It must be an honor for them to serve such a lord.

The Black Dragon Lord's lips twitched. "I didn't say I wouldn't give it to you, I just said next time."

"Alright... since the Black Dragon Lord is in trouble, we won't force him."

Shen Xing did not refuse; he simply waved his hand and took out the orc corpses from the silk backpack, arranging them neatly on the ground.

"Hellscream, lead your men to dig some graves here in the Dragon Tomb and erect hero's mounds for these warriors."

"They were all warriors who sacrificed their lives in the Dragon Tomb, and they deserve to be buried on this land where they once fought, but..."

A trace of sorrow flashed in Shen Xing's eyes. "It's just that I can never take them back to their warm homeland, to see their beloved families again."

The other beastmen's eyes reddened, and tears streamed down their faces.

"Enough!" The Black Dragon Lord finally couldn't take it anymore.

It waved its dragon claws, and four things flew out.

They consisted of a scale the size of a washbasin, a drop of pitch-black blood, a glowing orb, and a coffin-like box.

Shen Xing took it directly.

[Obtained: Blood of the Black Dragon King *1]

[Obtained: Black Dragon King Scale *1]

[Obtained: Shadow Dragon Nest (Boss One Star ★★★) *1]

[Obtained: Giant Dragon's Secret Treasure *1]

Looking at the four new treasures in his backpack, Shen Xing felt a surge of joy, but his face still showed grief.

"Great Black Dragon Lord, your reputation is as trustworthy as your strength," Shen Xing said solemnly. "Now I can finally give an explanation to their families."

"But... there's also your clansman, the black dragon's soul sealed within the ring..."

"Even though He was just a soul left, He used His last thoughts to guide me here to help you break the seal. Remember what I said before about helping Him resurrect..."

The Black Dragon Lord's lips curled slightly. "Resurrecting the dragon soul within this ring will require consuming a vast amount of primal power to reforge its physical body."

"I... I've exhausted myself... I truly cannot revive her at this moment..."

"I see..." Shen Xing nodded again, "I know, the great Black Dragon Lord really doesn't have much strength left."

"But... I heard Him say in a dream that He truly wanted to see this world again with his own eyes, to see the king He once worshipped."

"Sigh, I wonder if I'll ever have another chance like this..."

Shen Xing took out the cracked ring from his backpack, gently stroking it with regret in his eyes.

The Black Dragon Lord glanced at the ring, then at the hundreds of eyes staring at him behind Shen Xing, and felt as if he had truly seen a ghost today.

"I truly lack the ability to rebuild her physical body, but..."

He changed the subject, saying in a deep voice, "I can gather its true spirit, and then you can place it into a new body."

"What does it mean to put a new body in...?" Shen Xing asked, puzzled.

"It means exactly what it says: find a Tier Three physical body for him and merge his soul into it," the Black Dragon Lord explained. "A body of any race will do, but it's best if they're alive when they merge."

"In this way, she will be able to regain all her memories, only her strength will be slightly reduced."

"However, there is one thing I must remind you: after the complete fusion, this dragon soul will completely take over this physical body."

"In your terms, it's called possession."

Shen Xing was startled and subconsciously asked, "So evil?"

"To resurrect the dead is itself a violation of the rules."

The Black Dragon Lord said slowly, "In this world, you have to pay for what you gain; the difference lies only in who bears that price."

Shen Xing seemed to be deep in thought, feeling that Kaz's words were somewhat pointed.

In just a moment, he made his decision. "Then please ask the Black Dragon Lord to help me condense my true spirit. I will then find a suitable physical body for Him, so that He can take one last look at this world, and..."

"Shut up."

The Black Dragon Lord impatiently snatched the ring away, his dragon claws clenching loosely, and a wisp of black, illusory soul slowly floated out from the ring.

With a gentle touch, He infused the soul with a surge of black energy, making its illusory body incredibly solid.

Then He waved His hand again, and the wisp of soul automatically floated back into Shen Xing's hand.

"Kid, I've done everything I asked for."

The Black Dragon Lord's weak voice rang out again. "If you encounter an invincible enemy, recite my name three times, and I will intervene on your behalf."

He paused, then added, "But don't call me 'King' anytime soon. You've completely drained me; calling me won't do any good."

Shen Xing nodded solemnly, bowed, and thanked him, "Respectfully bidding farewell to the great Black Dragon Lord, we look forward to your early return to your peak!"

The other orcs followed suit, bowing in farewell. "Respectfully seeing off the great Black Dragon Lord!"

Kazdoreth glanced at Shen Xing one last time, then flapped its enormous wings and soared into the sky.

However, during the flight, its massive body staggered a few times.

The crowd watched as the massive black shadow disappeared into the distance.

Chapter 165: A Bountiful Harvest, Time to Divide the Spoils!

"Alright, stop acting, He's already gone." Xia Wanyin's gentle voice sounded from behind, a smile she couldn't hide on her lips.

Shen Xing turned his head and smiled slightly, "I wasn't acting; I genuinely admire this Black Dragon Lord."

After all, they had given him so many benefits.

"My lord/Boss!"

The other generals also gathered around, looking at him with excitement.

"How... how are you feeling?" Leina asked with concern. "And, can you stand up now?"

Shen Xing nodded slightly and smiled, "I can indeed stand up, but I can't stay up for long."

He waved his hand and said, "Let's go back first."

"Hellscream, take these brothers' bodies back and bury them in the cemetery to commemorate their contributions."

"Gorehowl, Xiao Hei, go and bring in the Hell War Chariot from outside, and take all the troops back."

"Yes, my lord!"

Everyone responded in unison, their faces filled with excitement, and they all sprang into action.

Today was a legendary day for everyone, filled with experiences beyond imagination.

First, they broke the seal, fought against one Leader Rank Tier Three boss after another, and also battled against tens of thousands of Dragon Tomb Guardian.

The final boss is Overlord Rank being!

Then, Hellscream unleashed its full power, Execute this powerful creature despite its superior level.

Then, they encountered the legendary Dark Dragon Lord, whose terrifying aura made them afraid to even breathe.

But no one expected that the soul of the Blue Dragon Lord, hidden for thousands of years, would appear, attempting to seize the body of the Black Dragon Lord and attacking all of them.

As a result, this guy frantically extracted Shen Xing's attributes, triggering some kind of taboo.

Then Shen Xing extracted it from him, draining him dry, even absorbing his soul and authority.

Finally, with the help of the Black Dragon Lord, Shen Xing awakened the legendary hidden class – Dragon Lord.

Furthermore, they received the rewards promised by the Black Dragon Lord.

Everything that happened today feels like a dream.

"Call..."

Shen Xing sorted out his thoughts and sat back in his wheelchair.

The blue light in his pupils gradually faded, and his long blue hair gradually returned to its normal short black color.

He went from being a handsome man with flowing blue hair to a dashing young man.

"Wanyin, Leina, let's return to our territory first and sort out our spoils," Shen Xing said softly.

The two beauties nodded and came to his side, one on his left and one on his right.

The Fried Chicken flapped its wings and soared into the air, carrying the three of them through the crack overhead, and sped towards the territory.
