Chapter 373



373 The Dragon King’s inheritance

If the speculation that the decaying Dragon was guarding the Dragonball fragment was true, then things would be really troublesome.

Lu Qing scratched his head and thought of a way to break out of this situation.

Of course, he had never been particularly worried about his own safety.

Although the process of being chased by the decaying Dragon seemed very dangerous, in reality, the entire process was under his control. The only danger was when he had been ambushed. The decaying Dragon’s sneak attack had failed to kill Lu Qing instantly. Later on, it would no longer have the chance to kill Lu Qing.

The reason why Lu Qing was so confident was not only because of the various magical effects he had when he was in his consciousness form. There was another very important factor. If he really did not want to play anymore, he had a way out.

Just now, when he was being chased, he had tried it. The training mode could be activated normally, and there was no problem with using the training mode to teleport-of course, he did not really activate the teleportation. Otherwise, if he really teleported away, it would be quite troublesome to come back again.

However, all in all, this was a way to ensure that Lu Qing could retreat if he really could not think of any solutions or if he encountered any danger that was difficult to deal with.

Since he had a plan that would allow him to escape immediately if things did not work out, Lu Qing felt that he did not need to be too cowardly.

In the previous ‘contest’, Lu Qing could basically confirm that with the level of the decaying Dragon’s power, it would kill him in one strike as long as it touched him. There was no way for him to resist.

However, at the same time, his agility could be maximized in his consciousness form. The decaying Dragon wasn’t an opponent that was good at agility or speed. If it didn’t use its gigantified body, it would be impossible to catch him. Even if he revealed his transcendence body, he could still avoid the threat by burrowing into the ground.

Moreover, he still remembered the location of the immemorial inheritance.

Lu Qing quickly had an idea.

He didn’t stick his head out. Instead, he went underground and headed toward the location of the Dragon Pearl that recorded the immemorial inheritance in his memory.

The exact location was not easy to judge, but it should be close.

Underground, safety should still be guaranteed. However, he still did not dare to have any careless thoughts. Taking a deep breath, he suddenly increased his speed to the maximum, and then flew up at full speed, rushing out of the surface.

With a sweep of his gaze, he saw where the Dragon Pearl was. At the same time, the malicious intent that was constantly present solidified in an instant.

The decaying Dragon’s attack was coming.

Lu Qing did not say another word. He immediately dove down and entered the ground.

The decaying Dragon missed again.

Lu Qing took this opportunity to quickly move toward the location of the Dragon Pearl that he had seen earlier. Then, he suddenly emerged again.

The Dragon Pearl was already within reach.

But this time, the decaying Dragon’s attack was faster.

It was obvious that the decaying Dragon was not brainless. It could guess what Lu Qing’s goal was and was prepared for it.

Lu Qing could also think of this.

He now had a very safe choice: Then, he went back into the ground and looked for the next opportunity.

However, there wasn’t much meaning in doing so. The decaying Dragon would definitely guard this place. Even if Lu Qing was underground and only extended a hand to touch the Dragon Pearl, he would probably scratch his hand.

Lu Qing did not know what the consequences would be. However, he was not willing to experience what it felt like.

Since it was already within reach, the earlier he got it, the earlier he could finish.

For that, he took out thousands of karma and three exchange options to solve the problem.

They were all five-star exchange options.

The first item he took out was a five star sword talisman. An illusionary flying sword flew out and struck the Dragon Claw. Then, it was shattered.

This was very normal. After all, there was a huge difference in power levels. The combat-oriented functions that were exchanged with the five-star exchange option could all reach the peak standard of the corresponding level. However, even if he was at the peak of the original level, the effect he could have on this decaying Dragon that was beyond the Dharma level was minimal.

Let alone hurting it, the most it could do was to make the Dragon Claw pause for a moment, and that was before the Dragon of decay activated its gigantified Dharma form. Otherwise, it wouldn’t even be able to do that.

However, Lu Qing had expected this to happen.

He just needed to take out this sword talisman to block them for a moment. The main purpose of using this sword talisman was to try and see if his means could affect the opponent. If the difference in strength was too great and they were not affected at all, then everything would be in vain. They would have to dig into the ground and teleport away as soon as possible.

However, it seemed that the worst case scenario did not happen.

Something at the peak of the original level might not be strong, but it was not completely useless.

That was good enough.

Lu Qing took advantage of that moment to take out the remaining two exchange options.

One was The Guardian spirit, which was an additional layer of protection for himself. In the past, he had never tried to use the exchange option of The Guardian spirit with himself as a goal. After all, he had never encountered an existence that could directly attack his higher consciousness form in the past. However, it was obvious that he could use this exchange option for himself.

He didn’t have a physical body, so The Guardian spirit didn’t hide in his body after it took effect, unlike the ones exchanged for family members. The Guardian spirit then floated around him. However, no matter what kind of image he had, he still had the protective effect.

The third option was the key to Lu Qing’s comeback.

[ five-star Battle: flower in the mirror and moon in water ]!

Create an illusionary avatar to help in battle.

This was essentially an illusion technique. Moreover, it was one of the rarest techniques that Lu Qing had obtained from the battle exchange tab. The lowest level of this technique was four-star, and it had not been used in many situations. The illusion created by the four-star catoptric deflection was already very lifelike, and it could even launch an attack. Although the power it could exert was very limited, only the appearance of an ordinary early jiedan stage, and it would be broken once hit.

As for five-star illusions, the deceptive effect would be stronger and more realistic. Be it aura, appearance, or sound, everything would be the same.

The image of this illusion was Lu Qing’s actual appearance.

In fact, the best way was to use illusions to simulate the appearance and state of his higher consciousness form. This would create the best misleading and deceiving effect.

But Yingying had no other choice.

He did not know what he looked like in his higher consciousness form. Of course, he couldn’t see himself in the mirror, nor could he look inside in this state. He didn’t even know the shape, let alone simulate it.

Moreover, what was the use of knowing its appearance? He couldn’t even understand his current state. How could he explain it? he didn’t even know what he looked like, what kind of aura he had, or how the decaying Dragon discovered his dense mist.

Under such circumstances, he had no way of using the illusion to simulate his consciousness form.

He had no choice but to take the second best and use his own image.

However, the effect was still pretty good.

The Dragon of decay was confused by the sudden appearance of a person. It subconsciously swiped at him with its claw.

It was an instinctive action. In fact, when it changed its direction and grabbed in that direction, the decaying Dragon had already determined that it was a fake.

Under normal circumstances, even if it was a slap to a fake illusion, it would be nothing. It was just an illusion. It didn’t take much effort to shatter it with a slap and turn the claws back.

However, this was not a normal situation.

In just an instant, Lu Qing had already succeeded.

The claws of the decaying Dragon had already arrived. The Guardian spirit displayed its effects and was instantly shattered. However, Lu Qing’s consciousness was no longer there.

The Dragon of decay had been tricked by Lu Qing twice in a short period of time, including the time when it had failed to catch Lu Qing even after it had enlarged. It was extremely angry.

Its body flew several rounds around the broken Dragon Ball.

The Dragon Ball didn’t seem to have changed much, and the power left in it from the ancient times didn’t decrease at all. However, the decaying Dragon’s brutal mind could sense that something important had been taken away from the Dragon Ball.

This made it even angrier, and it roared in this desolate and bloody secret realm.

……

Lu Qing’s method of disappearing in an instant was, of course, the teleportation function of the training mode.

The operation was smooth because he had rehearsed it in his mind many times when he was underground.

However, he almost made a mistake at the end. Otherwise, he probably wouldn’t have even used The Guardian spirit.

The moment his consciousness touched the Dragon Pearl fragment, the immemorial inheritance was instantly absorbed by the system. At the same time, just like in the past, images of ancient times began to flash through his mind.

Previously, he would definitely calm his mind and focus every time he saw this, unwilling to miss a single scene, and try to understand as much information as possible about the ancient times.

But this time, the situation was special. Lu Qing did not care about these primordial memories as they flashed before his eyes. He activated the training mode as fast as he could and teleported away.

However, even though he had already predicted this, he still couldn’t help but be affected when the images appeared, and The Guardian spirit was destroyed.

This was actually quite a close call. The five-star Guardian spirit was one of the strongest defensive techniques Lu Qing had. If it was just a momentary defense, it would probably be stronger than when he used the heavensguard Life spell in his real body.

Of course, the heavensguard Life spell could be maintained for a long time as long as it was used. The Guardian spirit usually wouldn’t use up mana, but it would run out after a short resistance. This was a big difference. Although they were both defensive spells, their nature and uses were completely different.

However, no matter what it was, it was like paper in the face of the claws of a decaying Dragon that was definitely above the materialization realm.

If Lu Qing had been dazed by the primordial memory that had suddenly appeared just now, his consciousness would have been hit.

Fortunately, that situation did not happen.

After confirming that he had indeed returned to Yuyan mountain, Lu Qing did not have the time to reminisce about the danger he had just experienced. He focused all his attention on the images that flashed before his eyes.

It had to be said that the short delay just now was not a lot of time, but the speed at which the images flashed in front of him was very fast. Even if it was just a short moment, a lot of information had already been lost.

What else could he do? He could only do his best and not miss the rest of the information.

Lu Qing understood a lot of things after he saw the primordial memory. It was difficult for him to digest them all at once.

The main character of this primordial memory was called Ao Lie. He was the Dragon King of the eastern sea Dragon race in the primordial era. At the same time, the Dragon of decay that had been constantly attacking him in the secret realm might have been Ao Lie.

Although the image of the Dragon in the immemorial memory was very different from the one he had seen before, he could vaguely tell that it might be the damaged body left behind by the immemorial Dragon after its death.

Ao Lie led the East Ocean dragon clan and the entire East Ocean sea clan to fight against the heavenly gods and evil demons during the catastrophe in the ancient times. He and his people seemed to be the pillars of the resistance. The Dragon race was indeed a naturally powerful race.

Most of these images were of various Wars. There was no connection between them. Lu Qing did not know what kind of background these battles were taking place in or what connections they had with each other. He only saw a large number of evil spirits and heavenly gods being killed, and the passages between the cultivation world and the outer world were closed one by one. Similarly, the dragon clan, human cultivators, demon clan, sea clan, and even some rare monsters also suffered heavy losses.

At the same time, Lu qingye saw several other primordial Immortals here. White sword immortal hadn’t seen him before, but she had seen the barefooted elder riding The Deer God and the Ice Queen.

In the later scenes, Lu Qing saw that Ao Lie and a few other primordial Immortals had some conflicts. He didn’t make a move, but at least he slammed the table. In the end, it looked like they parted on bad terms.

After that, Ao Lie led the Dragon Warriors back to the East Sea.

The image did not show it. Lu Qing did not know how much time had passed, but an Army of demons appeared at the bottom of the East Sea. This time, the East Sea Dragon race and the sea Race could only fight on their own.

What Ao Lie was dealing with was an evil demon general that was pieced together by bones and emitted a Scarlet light in the gaps.

They had started a great battle at the bottom of the sea.
