Heroes' Prison

Chapter 579 - 555 Heavenly Phenomenon of Ascending to the Heavenly Realm

Little Dragon had an innocent expression on his face as he lay in Xiao Chunzi’s lap, seemingly clueless about what Xiao Chunzi had said, simply opening his mouth and barking again, "Woof woof!"

"Oh no, this is bad! This is bad!" Xiao Chunzi suddenly crinkled her little nose and turned to look at Huang Yi, "Brother, this Golden Holy Dragon has been spoiled by play. How about we get a different one?"

It seemed Little Dragon understood what Xiao Chunzi was saying, his dragon snout suddenly drooping, and a layer of mist forming over his large eyes as he looked at Xiao Chunzi with tearful, pleading eyes. His little tail gave a small wag, indicating how heartbroken he felt.

"Ah, you silly little dragon!" Seeing Little Dragon’s expression, Huang Yi felt a mix of annoyance and amusement. He immediately walked over, took Little Dragon from Xiao Chunzi’s arms and held him in his own, stroking his small head, "Little guy, don’t worry. From now on, you’re my dragon. No matter what you become, you are my dragon, and I will never abandon you."

Held in Huang Yi’s arms, Little Dragon quieted down instantly as if he had seen his true kin. He stuck out his little tongue affectionately and licked Huang Yi’s cheek. With big eyes, he obediently looked up at him and barked in a babyish voice, "Woof woof!"

Huang Yi stretched out his hand to touch Little Dragon’s head, hugging him excitedly.

The little creature before him was the famed Golden Holy Dragon, one of the Three Great Top Dragon Clans. It was undoubtedly the most powerful pet obtainable in The Second World; Huang Yi wondered just how formidable its attributes had to be.

The next moment, filled with anticipation, Huang Yi checked its attributes.

[Mutated Golden Holy Dragon] (Top Ten Rankings Order, Level 1, Juvenile Phase)

Speed: Top Ten Rankings Order

Attack: Top Ten Rankings Order

Defense: Top Ten Rankings Order

Life: Top Ten Rankings Order

Attack Range: Increases with Level Up, currently none.

Offensive Mode: Increases with Level Up, currently none.

Growth Method: Levels up with Experience Points; evolves with consumption of various treasures, sequentially going through Juvenile Phase, Growth Phase, Adult Phase, Decrepit Phase.

Indeed! All of this Golden Holy Dragon’s indicators were the highest, reaching the top of the Tenth Rank!

Before this, Huang Yi had felt that his Two-Headed Lin could no longer keep up with his growth in strength and needed a new mount, but mounts above the Sixth-Order were extremely hard to find, and he had no idea where to get one.

But now, he had directly ascended, leaping over countless grades of mounts, and obtained a top-level pet with all indicators at the highest Tenth Rank!

The Golden Holy Dragon, truly one of the Three Great Top Dragon Clans, held the potential to be enshrined as a Dragon God!

However, this newly born Golden Holy Dragon couldn’t assist Huang Yi with anything. Instead, it required him to look after and nurture it, which was a sweet burden to carry.

There were two developmental paths for the Golden Holy Dragon, one in levels and the other in physical form.

The so-called level development refers to its apparent level. In the future, when Huang Yi levels up by defeating monsters, he could choose to share Experience Points with Little Dragon to aid its leveling. But no matter how high Little Dragon’s level got, its physical form wouldn’t change. Even if it reached Level Two Hundred, it would still be the Dragon Baby that it currently was, adorable and babylike.

As for physical form development, that’s about its bodily changes through the Juvenile Phase, Growth Phase, Adult Phase, and Decrepit Phase, in that order. To evolve, it will need to consume various Heaven and Earth Treasures.

In the Juvenile Phase, it will have virtually no combat power; starting from the Growth Phase, it will be able to exert strength, and the Adult Phase is its most peak form. An adult Golden Holy Dragon often possess the power at the Demigod Level. Moreover, the Adult Phase is the prime time for a Golden Holy Dragon’s Divine Enthronement. If it can’t become divine during the Adult Phase, then it might never have a chance again, because it will increasingly decline, entering the final Decrepit Phase, and eventually die of old age.

Leveling and physical evolution, these two paths, made up Little Dragon’s future advancement in strength. A Level Two Hundred Dragon Clan in the Juvenile Phase and one at the same level in the Adult Phase would have strikingly different powers. Therefore, Huang Yi couldn’t neglect either aspect and had to strive to improve them both.

In the end, this Golden Holy Dragon was incredibly powerful. Previously, Huang Yi had allowed the dragon egg to absorb his own Nefalem’s bloodline, causing the Little Dragon to mutate, now different from any Golden Holy Dragon in history. Little Dragon would be the only Golden Holy Dragon in the world, a mutated individual that had never appeared before.

"Big Brother, once Little Dragon grows up, you’ll be invincible!" At this moment, Xiao Chunzi extended her hand to tease the Little Dragon in Huang Yi’s embrace and sweetly said.

"But growing it up isn’t an easy task! I reckon that my leveling up speed will be seriously slowed down from now on, and I’ll also need to find Heaven and Earth Treasures to feed it, it’s like a bottomless pit!" Huang Yi had a very clear understanding of the arrival of the Little Dragon; it was a long-term investment, and in the short term, he could only keep losing money on it.

"Respected Golden Holy Dragon Your Highness, please bestow upon me a drop of blood so that I may ascend to the Celestial Realm Level and thus be more capable of protecting Your Highness." Just then, the ghastly head of the Undead Flying Dragon suddenly lurched forward, its bell-sized eyes peering down respectfully at the Little Dragon in Huang Yi’s arms and spoke as if addressing a superior.

Little Dragon, dozing off and sleeping sweetly in Huang Yi’s arms, was abruptly awakened by the Undead Flying Dragon’s disturbance. Opening its eyes irritably, it waved its little paws and whined, "Woof, woof!" Its demeanor seemed to say, "Don’t you come over here! I’m really tough, you know!"

"God of Slaughter, please help me persuade it! It is an emperor among our Dragon Clan, and I cannot use force against it," the Undead Flying Dragon then requested of Huang Yi. Despite being a giant dragon of the Top Holy Domain Rank, it still adhered to the draconic edicts, treating the unarmed Little Dragon with utmost respect, which made the whole scene seem rather comical.

"Alright!" Huang Yi nodded, patted the Little Dragon in his arms, and coaxed softly, "Little Dragon, can you bleed a couple of drops? One for the Undead Flying Dragon and another for me, okay? You’ve just been born, and the strength of your blood isn’t high. At Level One Forty, I should be able to use your blood for Evolution, and then I can become your true kin. If we wait for you to grow up, your blood will be too potent for me to absorb."

Upon hearing this, Little Dragon pouted, looking aggrieved. It burrowed its small head further into Huang Yi’s chest, leaving only its little rear end exposed, seemingly reluctant to let out any of its blood.

Huang Yi looked at Little Dragon’s claws; they had been cut by the eggshell while it struggled to break free. Already streaked with blood, two drops of golden blood were now seeping out, ready to be squeezed out with any additional pressure.

Huang Yi quickly took out a Magic Bottle from his storage ring and placed it under Little Dragon’s claws to catch the blood.

Soon, two drops of glittering golden blood flowed from the small wound and into the Magic Bottle.

This was the Blood of the Golden Holy Dragon, an absolutely priceless treasure! It could not be bought with money, and not a single case of Golden Holy Dragon blood auctions had appeared in the auction houses. Even in the Reward Vault, there was no such Treasure available for exchange, no matter how many Stone Exchanges one had.

But now, Huang Yi had two drops; one could help the Undead Flying Dragon break through to the Celestial Realm, and the other could be used in his Level One Forty Evolution.

"Undead Flying Dragon, this drop of blood is for your advancement to the Celestial Realm!" At that moment, Huang Yi took out a drop of Golden Holy Dragon blood, put it into another Magic Bottle, and handed it to the Undead Flying Dragon.

"Thank you, God of Slaughter!" the Undead Flying Dragon said gratefully, its gigantic dragon eyes fixated on the drop of Golden Holy Dragon blood. Though it was just a small, seemingly insignificant drop of liquid, it seemed as if it contained a world that it might never be able to reach.

Breaking through to the Celestial Realm, how many Holy Domain Warriors had dreamt of this? The world had such a long and vast history, with Holy Domain Warriors as common as the fish that swim across the river, but how many were able to break through to the Celestial Realm? The Undead Flying Dragon had been stuck at this rank for countless years; from before it was captured into the Heroes’ Prison, it was already a Top Holy Domain Expert, but had never made the breakthrough.

Upon breaking through to the Celestial Realm Rank, one becomes one of the figures who could sway the world aside from those rare demigods. Their every action would determine the direction of the world.

The next moment, the Undead Flying Dragon’s vast wings subtly swept, and the Magic Bottle in Huang Yi’s hands automatically flew to its front. The drop of Golden Holy Dragon blood inside the bottle suddenly flew out, igniting in the sun’s rays, gleaming like the color of hope.

The Undead Flying Dragon opened its mouth to inhale, and the Golden Holy Dragon blood was sucked into its maw. Then it closed its dragon eyes, beginning to digest the drop of dragon blood.

Gradually, its body began to writhe, every inch of its flesh seemingly undergoing a complex reform, changing toward a higher level of existence—somewhat similar to Huang Yi’s past Evolutions into new species.

Just then, the Undead Flying Dragon’s body burst into a beam of golden light, which shot into the sky, connecting to the vast heavens!

In an instant, the sky churned with gathering clouds around that golden light, forming several dragons that soared and whirled around the sky, enveloping the whole sky as far as the eye could see, stretching to the horizon.

Huang Yi, Xiao Chunzi, Little Dragon, and Little Wang all looked up at the phenomenon unfolding in the sky; their vision was filled with nothing else. They couldn’t see the sun, the blue sky, or the white clouds. No matter which direction they turned or how far they could see, all they beheld was the endless golden Dragon Qi in the sky, as if an entire continent were shrouded in golden light, turning the blue sky into Golden Clouds, and the white clouds into golden ones.
