Beast Taming: Invincible Breeder-Chapter 316 - 291: Double Good Fortune on the Second Day of the New Year
"It’s my turn to teleport."
Before teleporting, Li Cunxu used a disguise skill, giving himself an ordinary face.
The purpose of Li Cunxu’s disguise was to prevent King Baiyu’s enemies from knowing that he had escaped from the clutches of the Pupil Demon; otherwise, it would bring a new wave of pursuit.
The Pupil Demon’s appearance was grotesque, with bizarre eyes all over its body. Just one look and one could tell it was up to no good. When King Baiyu saw Li Cunxu being taken by the Pupil Demon, he should have realized it was nothing good for Li Cunxu.
Thus, if the enemies knew that Li Cunxu was captured by the Pupil Demon, they would be less wary of him.
Although the enemies would still continue to search for Li Cunxu, their efforts would not be as intense.
"Don’t teleport to Bengma Island, don’t teleport to Shendu University. Hope the teleportation point is... there? Celestial Sea Island? I won’t go to Celestial Sea Island."
Li Cunxu’s initial plan was to use the Illusory Star Divine Light to manipulate a king among his enemies, so that they would cast a fortune blessing on him, allowing Li Cunxu to escape to Celestial Sea Island.
Celestial Sea Island had many dragons, and there might be an Ancient Fortified Dragon that Li Cunxu needed. However, after consulting Little White Spider, who acted like a little library, he changed his mind about going to Celestial Sea Island.
According to Little White Spider, the Ancient Fortified Dragon was a reclusive member of the Dragon Race, shunning the company of other dragons. Celestial Sea Island, with its abundance of dragons, was the least likely place to find an Ancient Fortified Dragon.
"I hope to go to a place with an Ancient Fortified Dragon."
Li Cunxu murmured, then crushed the Space Random Teleportation Scroll, and a dazzling white light enveloped him.
After a dizzying whirl, Li Cunxu opened his eyes again and found himself standing on an intricately designed city wall.
Li Cunxu looked out and observed a scattered group of castles nestled among the mountains.
What puzzled Li Cunxu was the absence of connecting paths between the castles.
"The architectural style is somewhat reminiscent of medieval European castles. Just where have I been sent?"
Li Cunxu activated the Blood Lotus Eye to observe carefully, and cold sweat trickled down his forehead.
These were not medieval European castles; they were clearly Ancient Fortified Dragons lying dormant on the mountains.
The castles opposite were Ancient Fortified Dragons, so it made no sense for the castle beneath him to be a real castle; it was most likely another Ancient Fortified Dragon.
Fortunately, Ancient Fortified Dragons were deep sleepers and wouldn’t wake simply because a creature had climbed onto their bodies.
Li Cunxu hurriedly used Spiritual Power to levitate himself away carefully, escaping from the Ancient Fortified Dragon gathering.
Li Cunxu muttered to himself, "Something is off, my luck is too overwhelmingly good. I merely wished to go to a place with Ancient Fortified Dragons, and I was actually teleported to a gathering of sleeping Ancient Fortified Dragons."
...
Time rewinds to a few seconds before the Pupil Demon was about to cast the fortune blessing on Li Cunxu.
The Pupil Demon’s soul was locked in fierce confrontation with the soul of the Emperor Spirit Divine Dragon.
Although the Pupil Demon was a freak, he ultimately found it hard to resist the soul of the Emperor, retreating step by step.
Fortunately, the soul of the Emperor Spirit Divine Dragon was weak, preventing a one-sided crushing.
The Pupil Demon was extremely agitated. The soul confrontation was already difficult against the Emperor Spirit Divine Dragon. If the fortune blessing succeeded, losing ten years of luck would make it impossible for him to defeat the Emperor Spirit Divine Dragon. Was he really destined to be possessed by the Emperor Spirit Divine Dragon?
The Pupil Demon was unwilling, extremely unwilling.
He still had many eyes yet to collect.
Suddenly, the Pupil Demon noticed the droplet of partially refined Imperial Blood actively merging with his body. This was the Emperor Spirit Divine Dragon at work, attempting to use the Imperial Blood to transform the Pupil Demon’s body for easier possession and better control.
But what the Emperor Spirit Divine Dragon was doing was destined to be futile, as the Pupil Demon’s body was also an imperial body, and a single drop of imperial essence blood was insufficient to transform much.
The Pupil Demon’s mind suddenly sparked with inspiration, coming up with a plan. Maybe it wasn’t the best plan, but it could certainly drag the Emperor Spirit Divine Dragon down with him.
Thus, the Pupil Demon’s soul actively attempted to merge with the soul of the Emperor Spirit Divine Dragon.
The Emperor Spirit Divine Dragon felt inexplicable, "I’m trying to possess your body, and you’re attempting to merge our souls? What an absurd move."
Would the Emperor Spirit Divine Dragon merge souls with the Pupil Demon?
Of course not.
To the Emperor Spirit Divine Dragon, the Pupil Demon’s soul was more disgusting than rotten fish, exuding a foul and decaying aura.
Even if the Pupil Demon’s soul wasn’t disgusting, the Emperor Spirit Divine Dragon wouldn’t merge with it.
"I am a noble Emperor Divine Dragon; how could you be worthy of merging souls with me?"
The Emperor Spirit Divine Dragon only wanted to devour the Pupil Demon’s soul to regain some strength for his own weakened soul.
The Emperor Spirit Divine Dragon tried to prevent the merger, but it was unsuccessful. It underestimated the Pupil Demon’s determination to merge souls. The Pupil Demon’s soul was going all out to merge with the Emperor Spirit Divine Dragon.
The next moment, the Emperor Spirit Divine Dragon sensed something ominous, as if disaster was looming over it.
At this moment, the Pupil Demon abruptly stopped the soul fusion and actively separated from the Emperor Spirit Divine Dragon’s soul.
The Emperor Spirit Divine Dragon bellowed in furious anger, "What have you done?"
The Pupil Demon sneered, "I haven’t done anything. It’s just that someone outside is controlling my body to cast fortune blessing on him."
The Emperor Spirit Divine Dragon understood why the Pupil Demon went all out to merge with him.
Since the Imperial Blood it resided in was merged with the Pupil Demon’s body, and its soul was previously with the Pupil Demon’s soul, under the judgment of the fortune blessing, the Pupil Demon and the Emperor Spirit Divine Dragon were considered one entity. Therefore, the Emperor Spirit Divine Dragon also lost ten years of luck alongside the Pupil Demon.
The Emperor Spirit Divine Dragon was enraged. As an Emperor, it had been outwitted by a mere king like the Pupil Demon.
The Emperor Spirit Divine Dragon furiously tore at the Pupil Demon’s soul, its eyes ablaze with anger, as if it would devour the Pupil Demon. However, the Pupil Demon was not to be underestimated, and bit back.
The Pupil Demon’s soul was filthy and malevolent, and when the Emperor Spirit Divine Dragon took a big bite, it felt like swallowing garbage, almost revolting.
The Emperor Spirit Divine Dragon’s soul was impeccably pure, and when the Pupil Demon took even a small bite, it provided a substantial nourishing boost.
As they continued biting each other, the Emperor Spirit Divine Dragon astonishingly found that they were evenly matched, and the Pupil Demon seemed to have a slight upper hand.
Turns out, having a soul too pure had its downside.
...
If Li Cunxu knew that the fortune blessing was cast by sacrificing ten years of luck from both the Pupil Demon and the Emperor Spirit Divine Dragon, he would understand why he was so fortunate.
...
The time shifts further back, to when the Emperor Spirit Divine Dragon was dying.
The omen of an Emperor’s fall appeared.
The Celestial Monarch arrived on the scene immediately.
The Emperor Spirit Divine Dragon’s dragon body lay limp, collapsing the mountain beneath, while the Evil Monarch sat cross-legged on its head, savoring wine.
The Celestial Monarch said, "Evil Monarch, can’t you change that bad habit of sitting on your defeated enemy’s head, drinking wine? People might mistake you for a member of the Evil God Sect."
The Evil Monarch raised a cup in invitation, "Care for a drink? This red wine mixed with Dragon Blood from the Spirit Divine Dragon is exceptionally delicious and has an unforgettable aroma."
Saying this, the Evil Monarch licked his lips.
