--- Chapter 246 ---
Heaven is unfair.
That's what the Heavenly King of Gold thought.
He has been fishing in this dedicated Star River for hours and didn't even get a bite.
Meanwhile, that damned human only fished for ten minutes and already got a handful of Demonic Cores.
Yup, Heaven is fucking unfair!
Yu Long ignored the golden toad's hateful gaze and fished on the new Star River while investigating the so-called Golden Behemoth's Claw made from Ultimate Gold.
Yu Long's hand would move from time to time, pulling the ice crystal rod, but his eyes would never wander off the four-meter golden sword.
The golden sword isn't just big but also heavy and sharp.
Using Kaiju Maker, Yu Long found that the Ultimate Gold was actually an advanced version of Metal Element. It was further enhanced with Earth and Fire Element, making it a three-fusion element.
However, there was one more variable that Yu Long couldn't understand.
This golden sword actually possessed a life.
Yes, you heard that right.
The Golden Behemoth's Claw is a living organism.
It's not a soul lifeform but a genuine biological lifeform.
As far as Yu Long knows, he couldn't recall any Kaiju or Mutated Beast with this ability.
It is like the Spirit Sword God Clan's origin.
Yes, it's like an unfinished part of Spirit Sword God Clan, but you get the gist.
"Behemoth..."
"Behemoth..."
The ice crystal shook, and Yu Long pulled in with one succession, getting himself a four-stripped Demonic Core. Tempest, Camilla, and the mutated beasts cheered in joy.
Of course, they didn't dare to be loud.
They could only celebrate in silence.
Suddenly, Yu Long gazed at the pitiful giant toad and asked, "Hey, what did you do to this golden sword besides putting Metal, Earth, and Fire elements in it?"
The Heavenly King of Gold froze on the spot.
He thought there was something wrong with his ears, but no.
He stared at Yu Long in disbelief, wondering how the fuck did he know about his secret technique in making Golden Behemoth's Claw.
'This human... Just who is he?' The golden toad was nervous. Even though he didn't look down on humans like some Heavenly Kings, he was actually more wary of their potential.
Unlike profound beasts, humans possessed a wisdom that allowed them to create things like Profound Art and Profound Artifacts.
In fact, the Heavenly King of Gold has to steal a secret technique to create his trump card.
"I don't know what you are talking about..." The golden toad feigns to be innocent.
The Heavenly King of Gold immediately realized his mistake.
He hurriedly held spatial storage, a beagle off his back, and courteously offered it to Yu Long, "Human Brother, the Profound Art, and secret technique are inside this spatial storage."
"There are also some materials you can use to form Golden Behemoth's Claw."
"Throw it." Yu Long said casually.
The golden toad nodded and threw the spatial storage to Yu Long.
Yu Long also threw the jade bottle at him.
Receiving the items they want, the trade is finally complete.
The Heavenly King of Gold cried in happiness. With 40 drops of Evergreen Tree's Dew, he should be able to obtain Evergreen Immortal Physique and evolve into Verdant Golden Toad King.
No one would mock his appearance again!
On the other hand, Yu Long checked the spatial storage and found a gold slate with engravings.
"By the way, is the human who gave you this still alive?" Yu Long asked the golden toad.
The Heavenly King of Gold shook his head bitterly, "He died abnormally and got his soul and body turned into ashes from an unknown curse."
Yu Long checked the golden slate, scanning it with his Kaiju Maker, and experienced several visions.
"Dawn of man."
"Dawn of law."
"Dawn of universe..."
"Gold is eternal currency, in life and death."
"Buy soul, sell true death!"
"Huh?" Yu Long blinked a few times and sensed a Profound Art and secret technique imprinted in his head.
"Profound Art, Eternal Gold Monarch."
"Secret Technique, Midas's Touch."
"Midas..." Yu Long's expression turned weird.
"Hey, Goldy."
"What's the name of that human?"
"Uh..." The Heavenly King of Gold was awkward when Yu Long called him with Goldy, but he didn't mind. This rich human deserved to be his friend.
"He never gives me his name."
"But he preferred to be called Dio for some reason."
"Dio..." Yu Long's golden eyes become increasingly warm. He looked at the gold slate in his hand. "You wouldn't use that name without reason, especially in an unknown place. What are you doing here, buddy?"
"Haa...." He let out a long sigh. "I might know who was behind the Demonic Star Secret Realm now."
Yu Long ruffled his hair, "Still, I need more clues."
"Why did the people from my previous life also arrive at the Primal Chaos Dimension?"
"Didn't I save them from the Cosmic Storm?"
"This is puzzling."
