The Growth of a God

Chapter 428 - 14: Seeking the Dragon of Truth

"Simply put, does it mean it can’t be killed by normal means?"

Although still somewhat confused, Ao Xing understood some of the meanings in the Dragon of Suffering’s words.

At the same time, Ao Xing finally realized why the Dragon of Suffering could unleash such a powerful breath but had no intention of entangling with the Guardian.

Because continuing to exhaust itself with the opponent was meaningless and would instead stimulate the Keren Race to evolve into more aggressive individuals.

"Yes, so what do you plan to do?"

The Dragon of Suffering’s curiosity was genuine, and it was very curious about how this unknown individual in front of it would handle such a crisis.

"Since it can’t be killed, then seal it!"

As the most experienced investigator, Ao Xing’s expertise played a role at this moment.

"Roar!"

From a distance, Ao Xing let out a long howl, and the sky gathered dark clouds.

With the intermingling of electric light and thunder, Ao Xing, who was still flying high with flapping wings, suddenly turned around and charged toward the Guardian.

Boom!

This time, it was the sound of thunder, and electric light.

The impassive guardian, mechanically indifferent, swung its sword to strike, showing no panic at this sudden counterattack.

Unfortunately, Ao Xing, who had long captured the opponent’s weak point, twisted its body and controlled the thunder, passing the Guardian with an almost unbelievable posture.

Under the startled gaze of the Dragon of Suffering, the lightning seemed to come alive like a creature.

Then, the elven sparks of lightning rapidly wrapped around the Guardian’s body, quickly restraining its movements.

——Exorcism and Demon Control Skill · Thunder Dragon!

Rumble...

Small thunder dragons coiled around the Guardian’s body, not only restricting the opponent’s actions but also continuously absorbing its life force.

In such circumstances, even a second-order existence of the Keren Race — the Guardian, could only watch as its body gradually stiffened and lost its vitality.

Life force is the key for all creatures to operate, even inorganic life forms are no exception.

This is an almost conceptual "sealing ability," and it is the most domineering and terrifying aspect of the Exorcism and Demon Control Skill.

Since it can endow all things with spirituality and life, it can naturally also strip all things of their spirituality and life.

The difference lies in that normal Mountain and Sea People would never walk this path.

Only experienced investigators like Ao Xing who constantly face various unknown dangers would delve into researching and developing such an ability that completely defies the moral view of the Mountain and Sea Civilization.

"What a marvelous ability..."

The Dragon of Suffering, having witnessed all this, couldn’t help but sigh in admiration.

This is a special ability not remembered in genetic coding, so the Dragon of Suffering couldn’t imitate it.

In fact, the Dragon of Suffering couldn’t even understand how Ao Xing did it.

Whoosh!

Flapping its wings again, Ao Xing swiftly left the range of the thunderclouds, letting the Guardian fall from the sky to the ground.

"Ha, these immortal creatures are indeed afraid of sealing!"

After Ao Xing returned to the Dragon of Suffering’s side.

It had already begun to shake off the fear of entering an unknown world, regaining its usual mindset and passion.

However, just as Ao Xing finished speaking, the Dragon of Suffering shook its head.

"I don’t know how you achieved this so-called ’sealing’."

"But the Keren Race never fears sealing because they are born of eternal silence and darkness."

As though to validate the Dragon of Suffering’s words.

As the Guardian fell from the sky, the Keren Race below began spawning more and more terrifying attacking-type individuals.

Though bizarre in appearance, they were individuals rapidly evolved by the Keren Race to address unknown crises.

They absorbed the experience and lessons of the previous Guardian.

The newborn Guardians minimized their body size as much as possible, instead emphasizing vast numbers.

Moreover, some particularly tricky Guardians divided into different sub-bodies, orbiting around them like satellites.

"Do you have any other ways to deal with them?"

Ao Xing could swear on the sky that it detected a strong sense of curiosity and anticipation in the Dragon of Suffering’s voice.

Rather than the impending crisis and predicament, the Dragon of Suffering seemed more intrigued by Ao Xing’s display of unknown capabilities.

"I’m now confident you must be a Prophet."

"No one but a Prophet would possess such intense curiosity."

After a simple quip, Ao Xing decisively twisted its body and embarked on its next escape journey.

Upon seeing this, the Dragon of Suffering immediately understood that Ao Xing likely didn’t have any other ways to deal with the Guardians of the Keren Race.

"Prophet? Another term I’ve never heard before."

"Moreover, it’s not curiosity, I simply want to know the ’truth’."

"Hmm, you should be able to understand the term ’truth’?"

Hearing this sentence from the Dragon of Suffering made Ao Xin roll its eyes. It was one of the top students in school, how could it not understand the word ’truth’?

"The unchanging rules that govern all things in the world can be called truth."

"I even know mathematical formulas, physical laws, chemical rules, do you know?"

Though Ao Xing’s tone was evident, the Dragon of Suffering remained indifferent.

"I see, the ’Mountain and Sea Realm’ you speak of is such a generous existence..."

"Such valuable knowledge is something you must study there!"

Despite the apparent lack of praise or censure in its words, Ao Xing seemed to detect certain special meanings in the Dragon of Suffering’s words.

"What do you mean by that? Are you looking down on me?"

"You should know, I am a top student with straight-A grades in school! Not everyone can master all subjects like I do!"

Upon hearing this, the Dragon of Suffering merely glanced at Ao Xing with an odd expression.

"I fail to understand your logic, isn’t learning unknown knowledge you’ve never encountered a rather delightful experience?"

"Do people there actually refuse to learn unknown knowledge?"

The statement left Ao Xin momentarily speechless.

It had never occurred to it that someone could actually be interested in such dull knowledge.

"Speaking of which, you’re the one who’s strange, aren’t you?"

As it gradually escaped the Guardians’ pursuit, Ao Xing’s mindset subtly changed under the stimulus of the Dragon of Suffering.

"First, you claim this world is the Mountain and Sea Realm, and then you tell me the sun fell into the ocean..."

"And those Keren Race, they seem to be your kind, right?"

"Clearly of the same kind, yet behaving like natural enemies. I’ve never seen such an odd ecological phenomenon in the Mountain and Sea Realm."
