Fiancée Stolen by MC, I Trip Them up-Chapter 424 - 326: The True Dragon’s Life-and-Death Mystery
Just as the male protagonist was about to embark on a world tour with the guides from the Magic World, Zhao Yi was busy playing with Legos, though he wasn’t assembling bricks, but rather a pile of bones.
It’s been more than ten days since the True Dragon detonated among the Dragon Race, and Zhao Yi had already checked the situation in the New World. Once the production and life everywhere gradually returned to order, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Then, he thought of the little skeleton.
Zhao Yi initially believed the little skeleton had long since recovered, and he wanted to see what it had gained this time. However, when he reached the deep crater caused by the True Dragon explosion, all he found were scattered bones, with no trace of the little skeleton.
Only then did Zhao Yi realize that the little skeleton might have been damaged in the blast; otherwise, it should have recovered by now.
Besides the little skeleton, the injury of the Purple Gold Divine Dragon seemed not to have healed as well.
It’s been so many days, yet the Purple Gold Divine Dragon was still lying on the ground, not moving at all.
Initially, Zhao Yi thought that the Purple Gold Divine Dragon was too embarrassed to get up because it had been injured by the Dragon Race explosion.
But so much time had passed that any matter, no matter how significant, should have been resolved.
The Purple Gold Divine Dragon continued to remain motionless, clearly indicating that it hadn’t recovered from its severe injuries, leaving it unable to rise.
Zhao Yi casually swept the ground, collecting all the bones.
Since Zhao Yi wasn’t sure which were the little skeleton’s bones and was in a hurry to check on the Purple Gold Divine Dragon, he decided to gather them all up and piece them together later.
Standing before the Purple Gold Divine Dragon, Zhao Yi used his Divine Sense to check, then breathed a sigh of relief.
The aura of the Purple Gold Divine Dragon was stable, and there was no sign of damage to its Divine Soul. Although there were multiple severe injuries on its dragon body, none had reached the organs, so there was basically no threat to its life.
However, what puzzled Zhao Yi was that the Purple Gold Divine Dragon’s injuries were healing at an extremely slow pace. Considering its strength, those external wounds should have been healed in the blink of an eye.
But many days had passed, and the wounds had only healed a barely noticeable line, visible only upon closer inspection.
What confused Zhao Yi the most was that not only did the wounds heal slowly, but they severely impeded the Purple Gold Divine Dragon’s movements.
Although the wounds weren’t fatal, they were enough to render the Purple Gold Divine Dragon immobile, unable even to speak.
Zhao Yi pondered and used his Divine Thought to ask the Purple Gold Divine Dragon, "Did the impact of the True Dragon’s Dragon Essence explosion have an additional damaging effect on the Dragon Race?"
Zhao Yi remembered that during the Dragon Race explosion, even those watching from afar, including himself, sustained varying degrees of superficial injuries.
However, their injuries had long since healed.
Especially Zhao Yi, who focuses on cultivating the body, had his wounds healed almost instantly.
If the explosion didn’t have an additional damaging effect on the Dragon Race, it wouldn’t explain why the Purple Gold Divine Dragon, whose physical strength far surpassed Zhao Yi’s, had been unable to move recently.
And then there was the strange little skeleton.
Zhao Yi could sense that its Divine Soul hadn’t been damaged in the explosion.
Yet, like the Purple Gold Divine Dragon, its skeletal frame hadn’t reassembled even after all these days.
If they were affected by the Dragon Race, then all this would make sense.
Indeed.
The Purple Gold Divine Dragon soon responded to Zhao Yi’s Divine Thought, "The event of a True Dragon self-detonating its Dragon Pearl had never happened before; I never thought that the death aura of a higher-ranked dragon would have such a strong suppressive effect on lower-ranked dragons!"
Zhao Yi suddenly realized, "Is the reason your injuries haven’t healed due to the death aura of the True Dragon suppressing you?"
The Purple Gold Divine Dragon replied, "That’s precisely it! Ah, the True Dragon was ruthless enough to self-detonate the Dragon Race, which leads to both the body and soul being destroyed! Such a method is too extreme; even an ordinary dragon wouldn’t resort to this, let alone a True Dragon!"
Upon hearing the Purple Gold Divine Dragon’s Divine Thought filled with resentment, Zhao Yi’s lips twitched, unsure how to respond.
The self-detonation of the True Dragon’s Dragon Pearl caught not only the Purple Gold Divine Dragon by surprise but Zhao Yi and others as well.
To lose all fear when barefoot, figuratively speaking.
Considering the level of strength, the True Dragon was the one with shoes, while the Purple Gold Divine Dragon and Zhao Yi were the barefoot ones.
If anyone were to fight desperately, it should have been Zhao Yi and the others.
Zhao Yi had already prepared to fight to the death with the True Dragon.
Yet, it was the True Dragon who gave up first.
It didn’t make sense!
As the Purple Gold Divine Dragon mentioned, this was a True Dragon.
It was far from being in a hopeless situation; there was no need for an all-or-nothing approach.
If Zhao Yi had not witnessed the explosion of the Dragon Pearl and seen the Purple Gold Divine Dragon rendered incapacitated for half a month, he would have thought the True Dragon was plotting something again.
According to the Purple Gold Divine Dragon, the True Dragon had a history of such actions.
The True Dragon’s Path of the Dragon Rule innately possessed an "upright and honorable" aura, making others drop their guard in its presence and believe its words!
"Do you think the True Dragon is dead?"
Zhao Yi still felt uneasy, seeking confirmation from the Purple Gold Divine Dragon, who knew the True Dragon best.
The Purple Gold Divine Dragon had evidently contemplated this question before.
Upon hearing Zhao Yi’s inquiry, it responded without hesitation, "Rest assured, the True Dragon’s Dragon Pearl has exploded. Even if it’s still alive, it is no longer a force to be reckoned with."
Zhao Yi was still concerned, "What about the Path of the Dragon of the True Dragon?"
The Purple Gold Divine Dragon replied, "Do you think that the death aura I mentioned after the True Dragon’s Dragon Pearl explosion was merely the explosion? It’s the True Dragon’s Path of the Dragon! Otherwise, do you think just the explosion of the Dragon Pearl is enough to incapacitate me?"
Hearing this, Zhao Yi’s mind was finally at ease.
All along, Zhao Yi’s greatest concern was the True Dragon’s mastery of a complete path.
Cultivators who mastered the complete path were known as Great Daoist Sages, on a vastly different level from ordinary sages who mastered common rules.
If the True Dragon hadn’t been severely wounded for tens of thousands of years and then struck hard by the Chaos Storm, the people of the New World might not even be enough for a single meal for the True Dragon.
After all, it was a Great Daoist Sage.
While Zhao Yi didn’t speak of it, he was deeply worried in his heart.
At this moment, upon hearing the Purple Gold Divine Dragon say that the True Dragon’s path was destroyed, Zhao Yi immediately felt relieved.
The True Dragon had become an ordinary sage, and thus the danger was to the True Dragon, not the New World.
Now, the New World had two sages, with Zuo Xiaoluo mastering the Path of the Blade, which commanded slaughter. If the True Dragon dared to come and die, Zhao Yi was confident it would be a one-way trip for it! 𝙛𝒓𝒆𝙚𝒘𝒆𝓫𝙣𝓸𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝒄𝒐𝓶
At this time, the Purple Gold Divine Dragon added, "If you’re still worried, you can take a trip to the Cultivation World and check if the barrier in the True Dragon Cave is still intact! The barrier’s aura is linked to the True Dragon; if the True Dragon is dead, the restriction will be gone. You could also bring back the Dao Rules! However, if you’re unable to break it open, it would mean the True Dragon is still alive, which would allow us to be prepared!"
"Right, how could I forget about this!" Zhao Yi’s eyes lit up.
He said to the Purple Gold Divine Dragon, "I’ll be right back!"
Having previously returned to the New World with the Purple Gold Divine Dragon, he left right at the entrance of the True Dragon Cave, so it wouldn’t take long for him to return there again.
After finishing his words, Zhao Yi disappeared from his original spot.
A moment later, Zhao Yi returned.
With a solemn expression, he declared, "The restriction on the barrier is gone, and the Dao Rules inside are also missing!"
