Life and death!
This is an eternal contradiction!
Looking at the massive Undying Black Dragon, Su Lu felt somewhat conflicted.
‘If there comes a day in the future when I too fall to such a state, what would I choose?’
He shook his head, banishing this thought from his mind.
“When the Spirit Tide arrives, I will rule this land once again!”
The Black Dragon lifted its head and roared: “In the form of a living being!”
“So that’s it… you’re planning to moonlight as an [Undead]?”
A lightbulb went off in Su Lu’s head.
He had long speculated that this world was connected to the Main World. If there could be [Beast Shepherds], why couldn’t there be [Undead]?
This profession represents the progression of undead creatures!
Of course, the profession that the Black Dragon started with must have been different from the [Corpse Maiden] path, but the later stage [Undead] should be similar.
This is also a kind of special profession.
“Sinner… you know more than I expected, but it’s pointless. Repent in the flames!”
The Black Dragon took a deep breath, preparing to breathe fire.
“No… Thank you for your guidance!”
With a smile on his face, Su Lu bowed, putting his hand over his chest: “So… goodbye, King of the Corpse Dragons!”
Whoosh!
Just as the flames were about to engulf him, his figure instantly disappeared, and in a flicker, he was a hundred meters away, leaving only an afterimage that quickly vanished.
Not only is Flicker useful for attacking, but it’s also a godsend for escaping!
He had no interest in going up against a potential Fifth Level beast.
Even more so when the opponent was a famously powerful figure from history who possessed a Black Dragon’s body. Its combat power was terrifyingly close to legend!
“Dimensional teleportation?”
The Black Dragon’s giant eyes stared in the direction where Su Lu disappeared, feeling somewhat heavy: “Damn…”
Becoming an undead creature also comes with its taboos.
This place was chosen by him from the start as the most suitable environment for undead creatures.
But if he went outside and was harmed by sunlight or holy water, he could still be destroyed!
“Fortunately, this contemptible thief only took some insignificant things…”
He waved his claw, and the coffin above the tomb was restored by an invisible force, revealing a recess in the stone pyramid and exposing a piece of emerald green, crystal-clear luster behind it.
“I refined my dragon form for five hundred years, then waited another five hundred years as an undead creature, the Spirit Tide will eventually come, and I will break this shackle, leave the tomb, and rule the world again as a living being!”
“The dawn… will come! By that time, no one will be able to stop me, no one!”
Dragoon the First roared unwillingly, finally falling into a slumber.
“He didn’t chase after me? It makes sense… His condition was really bad.”
A monster that has been desperately surviving for over a thousand years, it’s abnormal if it’s in good condition.
Su Lu felt that the Black Dragon just now seemed like a person who had just been awakened, and most of its strength and sanity were still in a state of confusion.
“But… even with limitations, it’s still terrifying. It seemed that the opponent couldn’t leave the Dragon Tomb, but as long as he was here, he could display nearly Fifth Level power… Once the Dawn of the Gods comes and the Spirit Tide revives, it surely restores all its legendary strength…”
“If it also takes on the profession of the [Undead] path…”
“It feels like a ticking time bomb.”
Su Lu flickered out of the Dragon Tomb, returning onto his ship.
“Mentor…”
Silver Eye bowed: “Welcome back.”
He didn’t ask what Su Lu had gained. That’s not a secret he could pry into.
“Alright, let’s set off, we’re heading back to the manor.”
Su Lu, in high spirits, returned to his cabin, tossing the Dragon Crystal in his hand.
He took out a lead box, and upon opening it, another Dragon Crystal appeared.
“Two dragon crystals should be enough to take my Dragon Blood Baptism level up a notch, right?”
He was now a Fourth Level Master-level Occupational Person, the experience penalty was even more severe, but because of the uniqueness of this world, the situation was slightly better than in the Main World.
The previous dragon crystal was not enough to gain the experience needed for the upgrade to [Dream Master].
But the addition of the spoils from this trip to the Dragon Tomb made it enough!
“This continent… I’m afraid it won’t be peaceful for much longer… Immon, a Fourth Level wizard, who’s also the Duke of Black Castle in the south, doesn’t even attend the Wizard Assembly, he surely has more important things to do!”
“And on this land, like Dragon the First, there might be more than one hideous monster still hiding. Once the Spirit Tide revives, there’ll be a good show to watch.”
“My current strength, it still needs to continue to improve!”
Thinking of this, he no longer hesitated and tightly held a Dragon Crystal in each hand.
[Ding! Detecting unique energy, identified as Dragon Crystal, absorbing!]
[XP+100]
The experience value on the attribute column was rapidly increasing.
At the same time, a gap appeared on the sturdy surface of the Dragon Crystal, faintly emitting a dragon’s roar.
“You two residual demons think I’ll be scared?”
Su Lu laughed loudly, putting his spirit into his heart, and grappled with the two giant dragons that suddenly appeared.
Compared with the real dragon he just saw, these two spiritual projections were just for show and were easily defeated by him.

Coinciding with the moment he completely shattered this trace of a spiritual imprint, in the Material Realm, two drops of blood filled with countless mysterious symbols appeared and spread out across Su Lu’s skin.
Hot!
Burning hot!
As if he was in a furnace, being hammered by a sledgehammer. ƒгeewёbnovel.com
Having the experience from last time, Su Lu stayed calm, his soul going into a trance, watching as a layer of scab formed on his skin.
After a while, a new prompt appeared:
[Ding! Dragon Blood Baptism Level Raised! LV1→LV2!]
[Dragon Blood Baptism LV2: Strength+0.7, Constitution+0.7, Skin Defense Increased, Increased Resistance to Corrosion and Ice Spells!]
“The second baptism used up two Dragon Crystals, yet the effect has decreased considerably?”
Su Lu returned to his body, shedding a layer of skin: “And also… increased resistance to corrosion and ice, it seems that different types of dragons give different resistance boosts?”
He then checked his experience. The data of 5600 made Su Lu’s mouth curl up in a smile: “Although the experience gained from the Dragon Crystal has decreased due to the increase in professional rank, it’s still enough.”
“It’s a shame… there must be more Dragon Crystals in Dragoon the First’s possession, but I’m no match for him.”
Su Lu felt a bit regretful.
He also discovered that a world like this seems more suitable for him to ‘grind for experience’!
Due to the Twilight of the Gods, the power ceiling was very low. With the attribute column, he could quickly rise to the limit allowed by the world, then freely reap the rewards. The experience penalty was also less than in the Main World.
Not to mention worrying about overstepping the line and drawing the attention of a powerful and unfathomable existence and losing everything in an instant.
“In this Low Magic World… Fourth Level is the limit! I’m one of the strongest people in this world!”
Su Lu contemplated: “I wonder what changes there would be in a world without magic?”
