Li Xiaotian watched the dragon horse jumping and roaring in front of him, and became interested. Before, he was just curious, and whether he could subdue it was secondary.
But now, he truly wanted to subdue it. Leaving aside its preciousness, its extreme speed and its innate sense of danger were enough to make him covelace.
The dragon horse, which was about to retreat, suddenly stopped. Its eyes became vigilant as it looked at Li Xiaotian and growled.
"Human, I sense it. You are now dead set on riding me! And you'll stop at nothing to do so!"
"I'm done playing! I'm not going out! Human, goodbye! I am the unique and supreme being of heaven and earth, how can I be willing to be ridden by others?"
The dragon horse said as it retreated, suddenly activating its extreme speed and disappearing from its original position.
Li Xiaotian's mouth twitched. This foolish horse had such unhealthy thoughts. The same meaning, when spoken from its mouth, changed its flavor.
However, seeing it disappear, Li Xiaotian was not in a hurry. He spoke unhurriedly.
"That horse, have you thought it through? Besides me, no one else can enter or leave this place. Without me, you will be trapped here forever!"
"Also, aren't you curious about how my golden body was forged?"
*Swish!*
As soon as Li Xiaotian finished speaking, the dragon horse appeared before him instantly. Its peculiar extreme speed made even him gasp.
"Human, let's talk properly. You don't need to be so focused on riding me, your vision is too narrow! As long as you don't ride me, I will bestow upon you a great opportunity!"
The dragon horse spoke with arrogance and then continued.
"I can recognize you as my brother. You won't lose out by being my brother! What big brother has, you will have. With big brother around, your future achievements will be unimaginable, and invincibility will not be a dream!"
Li Xiaotian's expression darkened. He glanced at the dragon horse and punched it directly.
*Bang!*
"Aoooh!!"
The dragon horse was sent flying, letting out a scream of agony.
"Damn you! Human! You are provoking me! Do you know what you are missing out on by doing this?!"
The dragon horse roared, its hooves digging into the ground, its scales exploding with anger.
"Don't you want to get out? Don't you want to know how I forged this golden body?"
Li Xiaotian's eyes raised, his tone indifferent.
"Big brother! Human, I've decided. I'll recognize you as my big brother! From now on, what big brother has is mine!"
The dragon horse said, quickly running over, but it was afraid Li Xiaotian would suddenly attack it, so it stopped at a certain distance from Li Xiaotian.
Li Xiaotian frowned, looking disgusted. The character of this dragon horse was questionable.
"Don't be so quick to get close. Tell me, what happened to you? Why did you turn black?"
"Ahem, I don't know either, *hic*... maybe I swallowed too much energy from this place."
The dragon horse said with a dry cough, recounting its experience since entering this place.
"Tsk tsk, this horse is a freak! The energy here can only be swallowed by those who cultivate demonic arts or by the Heavenly Demon race. Others avoid it, yet it swallowed so much. It didn't even explode and die."
The Demon Lord said with surprise in his voice.
Li Xiaotian was also speechless. No wonder the dragon horse turned black. It swallowed so much demonic energy, and it was blood energy. Since the other party couldn't absorb it, how could it not turn black?
The dragon horse is a heavenly beast, formed from the essence of heaven and earth, with no parents. Therefore, the energy within its body is the purest and cleanest energy in the world.
Demonic energy is the opposite. If the dragon horse swallowed demonic energy, it would be incompatible with the energy in its body, and it might explode and die. The fact that it only turned black was pure luck.
"Then what about it? Is it crippled?"
Li Xiaotian asked.
"It's not crippled. As long as its physique can withstand it, although the energies are incompatible, they are still energies after all. It can absorb them slowly."
The Demon Lord replied, and then continued.
"Of course, if you use your swallowing power to convert the demonic energy within its body into ordinary heavenly energy, it will recover soon."
"Is there any way to control it?"
Li Xiaotian's heart moved. Why should he help the dragon horse if he couldn't subdue it?
"There is no way. Dragon horses are not considered demonic beasts, and any control methods are useless against them. If you truly want to subdue it, you must gain its recognition."
The dragon horse in the distance suddenly looked at Li Xiaotian vigilantly and slowly retreated. Damn it, this human and the guy inside him were discussing riding it.
Li Xiaotian looked surprised and understood. The dragon horse's spiritual sense could only detect malicious intent, but beyond that, its communication with the Demon Lord had been normal, meaning it hadn't sensed anything.
"Human, quickly tell me how your golden body was forged, and then take me out of here. We'll go our separate ways afterward!"
The dragon horse said, feeling uneasy in its heart.
"Dragon horse, right? Don't rush. Even if I tell you my methods, you can't use them. You've swallowed so much demonic energy, can you digest it?"
Li Xiaotian said unhurriedly.
"Hmph! A joke! How could I possibly not digest it? What enters my belly becomes mine! Speak quickly!"
The dragon horse raised its head, its tone proud.
"How about this? I can help you digest the demonic energy within your body and help you break through to become a overlord. In exchange, you owe me ten years of service."
Li Xiaotian said, a smile curving his lips, and then walked towards the dragon horse with a friendly expression.
"Damn it!!! Human! You still want to ride me!!!"
The dragon horse roared, quickly retreating, furious in its heart. If it couldn't beat the opponent, it would have already kicked it with its hooves.
"What riding or not riding, dragon horse, your thinking needs improvement. Didn't you just recognize me as your big brother? Is this the attitude you have towards your big brother? Don't run, listen to your big brother, your big brother is also doing this for your own good."
Li Xiaotian said with a smile, while marveling in his heart at the horse's incredible spiritual sense. If he brought it along in the future, they could avoid danger in advance, which was like cheating!
The dragon horse's eyes blazed with anger upon hearing this, and two streams of white air shot out from its nostrils. It was truly furious. How old was this human? Not even a tenth of its age, and he wanted to be its big brother?!!!
But suddenly, the dragon horse's heart stirred, and it quieted down. Its eyes flickered, and it said to Li Xiaotian.
"Since you are my big brother, and it's for my own good, then tell me how your golden body was forged? A big brother should have magnanimity!"
Li Xiaotian smiled, how could he not see the dragon horse's intentions? But it was fine, he had never failed to get what he targeted. He immediately told the other party how he forged his golden body.
*Swish!*
The dragon horse suddenly disappeared from its original position and ran towards the depths. But immediately after, a scream was heard.
"Human, I've considered it. I'll listen to you. First, help me break through to overlord!"
The dragon horse returned, its head held high, but its cracked mouth exposed the pain it had endured.
It never imagined that the energy in the deepest part was so dense. But as soon as it tried to swallow it, its mouth exploded because its body was already full of energy and could not swallow any more.
"Good!"
Li Xiaotian said with a smile, then stepped forward and placed a hand on the dragon horse's body. The dragon horse originally wanted to resist, but after thinking about it, it did not refuse.
*Hum!*
Li Xiaotian activated his swallowing power, helping the dragon horse digest the demonic energy within its body.
Swallowing power could devour all things and convert any elemental energy into the energy one needed.
"Aowuu!!!! So good! So, so good! Ahhhh!!! Oh!!!"
The dragon horse roared, its face filled with enjoyment. After swallowing so much demonic energy, it could finally absorb it, and the pain caused by incompatible energies within its body was also alleviated. At this moment, its entire body felt incredibly comfortable.
"Human! Your technique is not bad! Ah oh!!! So good!!! So satisfying!!! Human, put more effort into it!!!"
"Shut up! Concentrate and absorb! Be ready to break through at any time!"
Li Xiaotian shouted, his forehead covered in black lines. This horse was really not proper!
