Chapter 166 The Heavenly Sword Secret Realm (VIII)



===============¶¶===================

The dragon spirit beast's eyes widened in disbelief.

Never before had it encountered a human who dared to speak to it in such a manner.

The cave fell silent, and even the sound of dripping water seemed to hush as everyone held their breath, awaiting the creature's response.

'Did he just insult the spirit beast? Is he trying to provoke it?' Kira was speechless.

'Or is he that confident?'

The dragon's immense form trembled with anger, its golden scales shimmering with intensity.

"You dare insult me, human? I will make you regret your insolence!"

The dragon's roar reverberated through the cave as it lunged towards Arthur, its golden scales shimmering with anger and power.

"How dare you, mortal!"

Its massive form was a sight to behold, but Arthur remained unfazed, his expression unwavering.

"You little lizard," Arthur retorted with a hint of disdain, his voice steady and confident.

The dragon's fury intensified, and its claws swiped at Arthur, but in that moment, something extraordinary happened.

Arthur's eyes flashed with an otherworldly light, and a trace of his Chaos Dragon bloodline surged forth.

As the originator of all dragons in the multiverse, the Chaos Dragon was a legendary and ancient being.

Its power was unparalleled, and it was said to command the very essence of chaos since the beginning of time.

Although Arthur had yet to awaken his memories he had found records of the Chaos Dragon in the Nine Heavens Palace.

From the records he had found out that the one who awakens the chaos dragon bloodline is destined to rule over all dragons in all universes.

*Shring!*

The dragon attacking Arthur was no match for the power of the Chaos Dragon bloodline.

In an instant, it felt an overwhelming force bearing down on it, a power that transcended its own.

"What?! That is-?!" It wanted to exclaim in surprise but he stopped when Arthur's gaze on it intensified.

"Be quiet and submit!"

'Can't have you yapping about by origins now.'

Fear gripped the dragon's heart, and it found itself bowing before Arthur, its anger and aggression subsiding in the face of an existence it could not comprehend.

At this time Arthur stealthily placed a seal on its soul, officially taming.

"I beg for mercy, Supreme One," the dragon pleaded, its consciousness communicating its submission to Arthur, keeping its words hidden from the others.

Through the soul seal it could communicate it's thoughts directly to Arthur in an instant.

'If I had used my soul power to subdue it, it would rather die than submit.' Arthur thought.

He understood the pride of the dragon race well, partly because he was one of them now.

A self destructive attack would cause him to reveal more power than he plans to.

The rest of the faction watched in awe and confusion as the dragon's demeanor shifted drastically.

Kira particularly was shocked.

'What just happened? The Dragon submitted just like that?'

Kira was more knowledgeable than the rest and knew that it was easier to kill a dragon than to make it submit and there had never been stories of any dragon so far that willingly submitted to a human.

She turned to look at Arthur and saw his eyes for a moment, but in that instant a sense of danger she had never felt before came on heart before vanishing the same instant it came, making it seem like an illusion.

This made her go silent.

The others couldn't fathom what was transpiring, but they could sense the overwhelming pressure emanating from Arthur.

Arthur accepted the dragon's submission and allowed it to become his servant.

"From now on you are my mount. Cherish this privilege with all your heart." Arthur spoke shocking the others once more.I think you should take a look at

"Yes, Master. This lowly lizard is honoured for this grace." The dragon bowed it's head submissively as it spoke.

Arthur then asked a crucial question, "Does this cave lead to any special locations?"

The dragon nodded, acknowledging Arthur's question. "Yes, this cave is connected to the place where the ultimate treasure lies—the source of the sword gems' power."

Arthur's eyes sparkled with excitement, and he quickly formulated a plan. "You will wait outside the cave," he commanded the dragon.

It was only when the dragon left the cave that everyone came back to their senses and cheered.

"Leader that was amazing. You subdued a freaking dragon! Yeah!" Sun Wukong praised excitedly.

Luke nodded with a smirk and his arms crossed on his chest with pride as though it was his achievement.

"As expected of, Master."

Meanwhile, Balor was the most silent of all as he only clenched his fist with an intense gaze to achieve such power in the future.

'I won't let down your expectations.'

With the dragon obediently stationed outside, the faction members wasted no time and began mining all the precious Sword Dao Gems within the cave.

Ezra, Gareth, and Thalia were in awe of the sheer number and quality of the gems.

Each gem contained profound insights into the sword Dao, and the potential they held for their cultivation was beyond their imagination.

As they collected the gems, Arthur turned to the dragon and issued his next command. "You will be our mount and take us to the location you mentioned."

The dragon's eyes gleamed with delight as it agreed, eager to serve its new master.

With the dragon carrying them, the faction members flew deeper into the Heavenly Sword Secret Realm.

The landscape beneath them changed dramatically as they passed through different terrains and breathtaking vistas.

Finally, they arrived at a picturesque scene—a serene lake shimmering under the sunlight, fed by a majestic waterfall that cascaded down from the cliffs above.

"This is as far as I can take you, Master." the dragon said, bowing its head respectfully.

"Why?" Arthur asked.

"There is an array that prevents all beasts from proceeding further."

"I see," Arthur nodded in understanding and the Nine Heavens Palace Spirit spoke up.

"Master, there is indeed an ancient formation surrounding this expanse."

"Can you crack it?"

"Yes, Master."

"Okay. That's good then."

Arthur surveyed the surroundings, his instincts telling him that there was more to this place than met the eye.

"We will go on foot from here," he commanded, and the faction members dismounted from the dragon's back.

As they landed by the lake, Arthur noticed a peculiar presence, one that seemed to be guarding the area.

Arthur's keen senses picked up on this, and he warned the others, "There is a mysterious existence guarding this lake. We cannot cross it casually."

The atmosphere grew tense as the faction members exchanged wary glances.

Whatever was guarding the lake, they knew it would not be easy to overcome.

But then they recalled the feat Arthur just pulled and regained full confidence.

Arthur noticed this and shock his head.

'This guys are on the verge of having blind faith in me... As expected of me.' he thought.
