The Strongest Dragon in the Era of Beast Taming

An extremely pure and somewhat familiar Dragon Qi suddenly emerged from Lolo’s body, radiating an invincible aura that caused David Jones to take special notice.

“What kind of talent is this?”

“Blending Cause and Effect.”

Although the Divine Egg’s tone was light and casual, through the Holy Oath, David Jones could keenly sense the faint excitement within Its heart.

Obviously, unlike his own talent, which was rather useless in the early stages and incredibly powerful in the later stages—Immortal in Death—the Divine Egg was quite satisfied with the newly awakened talent.

“Stop beating around the bush!”

Watching Lolo’s body rapidly transform into a white jade dragon, David Jones urged impatiently.

Without any further explanation, the Divine Egg directly transmitted the awakened talent information to David Jones through thought.

[Blending Cause and Effect (Perfect Awakening)]: A heaven-level talent, all laws are derived from the logic of cause and effect, blending and birthing one another. From cause springs effect, the cause and effect are obvious; after this trait’s perfect awakening, the awakener will initially grasp the power of karmic retribution.

Ability One[cause leads effect]: Reversal of Heaven and Earth, reversing yin and yang, in a short time making one thing’s cause produce an effect, the effect becomes truth, truth eternally one, thus altering the time sequence of cause and effect, fixing some causes and effects in the present, allowing the weak to preemptively attain the strength of the future.

(Note: The stronger the cause, the greater the effect amplified; ineffective against entities beyond cause and effect.)

Ability Two[cause and effect are obvious]: The awakener can clearly see the cause and effect forces hidden between heaven and earth, even those the Immortals find hard to notice, and can use arcs of light to fluctuate the force of cause and effect.

“It’s actually not a Dragon-Type talent, but one related to cause and effect!” David Jones frowned slightly, vaguely understanding why the Divine Egg claimed his talent ranked second among humans.

Time and destiny are the most distinguished and difficult to master among the three thousand rules of the Great Path, and the power of cause and effect can be said to be the combination of time and destiny, a mighty force of rules.

The Divine Egg, able to awaken the power of cause and effect through the Holy Oath, shows that It either is a majestic True Dragon with a profound connection to cause and effect, deeply awakening the power of cause and effect through the Dragon-Wielding Talent.

Or, his unawakened Dragon-Wielding Talent actually has control over the power of cause and effect itself.

David Jones pondered and felt the first possibility was too slim; rather, the latter seemed much more likely.

After all, at least the Divine Egg was an existence similar to an Immortal, of a very high essence. Plus, given the significant disparity in their power, even if his talent was extraordinary, it would be challenging to cause a qualitative change in a Divine Dragon.

However, if his Dragon-Wielding Talent, once fully awakened, could perfectly control the power of cause and effect, causing his Dragon Pet’s bloodline to mutate and evolve towards the direction of the Supreme Dragon God (Ancestral Dragon), then it seemed somewhat understandable for the Divine Egg to rank such a terrifying Innate Talent second among humans!

While David Jones was rapidly sorting through his thoughts, the transformation taking place upon Lolo came to an abrupt end.

“Rumble!”

As Lolo moved slightly, violent roars continued to erupt as if this world could hardly bear its existence.

Then, countless ancient trees uprooted themselves to form a green ocean of forests before they were annihilated together, turning into droplets of emerald liquid rich in life energy falling onto Lolo’s dragon body, adding a touch of verdant green to its shining jade-like dragon body.

At this moment, as Lolo simply hovered in mid-air, wafts of mysterious white fog quietly appeared. Amid the dispersing clouds and mist, an Emperor Dragon emitting a vast aura and large enough to blot out the sky enveloped Void Willard completely.

“At the cost of thirty years of Cultivation, I activated ’cause leads effect,’ the Reversal of Heaven and Earth, allowing Lolo to continuously gain the power of the future for a short period, elevating its strength to the apex of a Class VIII Emperor.”

“However, the forced result imposes too great a burden on Lolo, and since I am not yet skilled enough in mastering the power of causality, the strengthening effect can only last for half a day.”

“After this battle, Lolo will probably need to recuperate and meditate for a month or two before he can barely digest the divine gifts I have bestowed,” lamented the Divine Egg.

If He could further improve his control over the power of causality to the level of his own divine Rule, perhaps he could maintain Lolo in the apex state of a Class VIII Emperor indefinitely.

Of course, the Divine Egg merely entertained the thought without any intention to implement it.

To meddle with causality at will comes with a corresponding price, and to achieve such an extent, the centuries or even millennia of Cultivation that would be expended are enough to cause the Divine Egg excruciating pain.

“What a heaven-defying ability!”

After witnessing Lolo’s transformation, David Jones felt as sour as if he had eaten a lemon!

However, thinking of the terrifying power he himself would control in the future, David Jones quickly regained his composure. He released the Dragon-Wielding power within him in one go, igniting the Hidden Dragon Fire according to the planned scheme.

The Hidden Dragon Fire can break a space blockade and naturally can also disrupt the transfer channel that Void Willard had forged with the blood-evil energy and the mystery power of void.

It’s just that David Jones’s strength was too slight, and even if he exerted his full force, the feeble Hidden Dragon Fire couldn’t affect Void Willard’s transfer.

“Goodbye, everyone. I shall return. You had better survive well!” laughed Void Willard.

At that moment, as if detecting the futile effort of the Hidden Dragon Fire, his defeated skeleton Dragon Head even showed a hint of disdain.

Seeing this, David Jones smiled faintly, flicked his fingertip, and suddenly a Holy Stone appeared in front of him.

“Crackle, Crackle!”

As the Holy Stone completely disintegrated to ash, David Jones himself was enveloped in an overpowering Dragon aura, with numerous robust threads of dragon air circling around him. It was the practically materialized Dragon-Wielding power.

David Jones had never fought such a lavish battle!

With the blessing of the Holy Stone, his inner Dragon-Wielding power seemed limitless, and he even felt that he could now casually enhance a rock by the roadside into a top-grade Dragon Crystal.

Yet, his remaining reason told him that the most important task at the moment was to capture Void Willard, to lay the foundation for ascension to godhood.

David Jones’s palm shone brightly as a thread of earth-shattering light surged into the sky. Above the firmament, anomalies appeared; the power of the Hidden Dragon Fire climbed higher and higher, bursting forth like a beacon of hope with a terrifying might capable of destroying heaven and earth, completely illuminating the Divine Zone.

“How is this possible! No one can stop the breeding channel I opened with the blood-evil energy of a hundred thousand troops!” exclaimed Void Willard.

Void Willard, gazing at the Emperor Dragon standing in his way, and the surrounding Hidden Dragon Fire that made even the bravest tremble, had a drop of jade-like fresh blood slowly trickling from his severed Dragon Body, unable to shake the increasingly intense flames.

“No, this cannot be. I absolutely cannot die here!” Void Willard screamed frantically, without any of his previous arrogance.

On the sidelines, unable to intervene, the Heaven Ghost and Heaven Dragon bore faces filled with shock and disbelief!

Although the treasury of the Umbral imperial family contained many Mystic Arts that could rapidly enhance one’s strength, there were limits.

Raising a Beast at the apex of the Ghost Emperor to the pinnacle of the Ghost Immortal, as David Jones had done, was an unbelievable act that couldn’t be explained by any Mystic Art, resembling more the miraculous feats created by heroes in mythological records.
