"How can that be the same? If I were the Black Dragon King, I would have already killed all those foreign enemies!"
Lu Tianfeng said with disdain.
"That's true!"
The few people exchanged glances and smiled faintly.
...
Lu Yang's battle with the Terrifying Earth Dragon was still ongoing. The Terrifying Earth Dragon had been enraged to its absolute limit. Its entire body had left the Black Water Pond and lunged towards Lu Yang. Although Lu Yang held the Black Dragon Token and fought bravely, he did not dare to be careless against such a powerful Terrifying Earth Dragon. He could only fight and retreat, employing a flanking tactic.
Thus, the man and the serpent battled for over a hundred rounds. Eventually, the Terrifying Earth Dragon's vital energy was almost depleted. Lu Yang, on the other hand, continuously received vital energy from the Black Dragon Token, his vital energy as boundless as the ocean. He could have fought for another hundred rounds without any issue.
Lu Yang found the opportune moment and directly channeled the Black Dragon Token, slashing towards the Terrifying Earth Dragon. However, the Terrifying Earth Dragon swallowed the Black Dragon Token in one gulp.
Seeing this, everyone's faces changed drastically.
"This is bad! That Terrifying Earth Dragon swallowed the Black Dragon King's weapon!"
Bian Cheng Wang shouted loudly.
"How could this happen? Victory was in sight, and the weapon was swallowed by this Terrifying Earth Dragon! Without a weapon, how can we fight it?"
Song Di Wang said anxiously, breaking out in a cold sweat.
"Don't worry. The Black Dragon Token in the Black Dragon King's hand isn't something anyone can just swallow. Soon, he'll taste the consequences of eating it!"
Lu Tianfeng said with a calm expression and a cold sneer.
Indeed, after the Black Dragon Token was swallowed, Lu Yang took a step forward, leaping over ten meters. Then, he lightly drew his finger in the air and roared, "Break!"
The Black Dragon Token broke out from the Terrifying Earth Dragon's belly, piercing through the spot where its seven inches were.
The Terrifying Earth Dragon didn't even have time to let out a roar before it fell into the pond. Its massive body sent water splashing everywhere, creating waves that soared high.
"It's dead?"
Upon seeing this, everyone was incredibly excited. This Terrifying Earth Dragon had resided in the Black Water Pond for over twenty years. In the past, their forces were relatively weak, and they were no match for this creature. As their strength grew, so did the dragon's. Ten years ago, they had devised a plan to deal with the Terrifying Earth Dragon, but Lu Yang's arrival had caused it to awaken prematurely, and the plan hadn't been fully executed. Therefore, this time, they had no choice but to face the Terrifying Earth Dragon head-on.
However, they never expected the Terrifying Earth Dragon to be killed by Lu Yang. Apart from Qin Guang Wang, who was poisoned, everyone else was unharmed.
For them, this was already the best possible outcome.
"The battle is over. Let's clean up the battlefield now!"
Lu Tianfeng's lips curved upwards slightly, revealing a joyful expression. He knew that this Terrifying Earth Dragon was a treasure trove. After all, it had lived for over a hundred years and had developed sentience. Its scales could be used to forge weapons, its flesh and blood were nutritious food, especially beneficial for martial artists. Its inner core was an excellent material for alchemy, and its spine was a top-grade refining material. With a skilled refiner, it could definitely be forged into a magical artifact.
Upon hearing Lu Tianfeng's words, the others immediately rushed towards the Black Water Pond, drawing their weapons and getting to work. In less than an hour, the colossal Terrifying Earth Dragon was completely dismembered into pieces of flesh.
"Yang'er, take these pieces of meat back and roast them. You shouldn't eat my pets for a while!"
Lu Tianfeng said to Lu Yang with a smile.
"Well... alright. Actually, I still think your pets are tastier!"
Lu Yang said with an awkward smile.
They had come here originally to find food, and unexpectedly, they had stumbled upon and killed the Terrifying Earth Dragon. In the days to come, Lu Yang would have to eat the Terrifying Earth Dragon's meat. Although Lu Yang wasn't particularly fond of such things, he couldn't refuse when Lu Tianfeng had spoken.
"You..."
*'If you weren't my son, I'd make you be buried with my pets right now!'* Lu Tianfeng thought to himself helplessly.
"Take this inner core of the Terrifying Earth Dragon too. After you consume it, cultivate for three days and absorb all the spiritual energy from this inner core, converting it into your vital energy. This will help improve your strength!"
Lu Tianfeng directly gave Lu Yang the most precious item from the Terrifying Earth Dragon's body. The other individuals saw this and felt it was appropriate, as Lu Yang had killed this Terrifying Earth Dragon. Even if he wanted all the materials, it would be considered normal.
"Thank you, Dad!"
Lu Yang immediately accepted the inner core of the Terrifying Earth Dragon, saying excitedly.
"Now, can we proceed to detoxify Qin Guang Wang?"
Lu Tianfeng continued to ask Lu Yang.
"Okay!"
Lu Yang smiled slightly, walked to the edge of the Black Water Pond, and plucked the Life Flower. The Life Flower was half a meter tall, with eight blossoms, each exuding an exceptionally alluring beauty. Lu Yang took out a jade bottle, picked all the blossoms from the Life Flower, and placed them into the jade bottle. Then, he crushed the stem of the Life Flower and poured the mashed juice into Qin Guang Wang's mouth. Within a minute, the blackness on Qin Guang Wang's face completely receded, and his eyes slowly opened.
"What happened to me?"
Qin Guang Wang asked, opening his eyes with confusion.
"You were poisoned by the Terrifying Earth Dragon. Fortunately, Lu Yang saved you!"
Bian Cheng Wang quickly said.
"What? Where is that Terrifying Earth Dragon? Are you all okay?"
Upon hearing this, Qin Guang Wang rubbed his slightly dizzy head and asked in great alarm.
"We are all fine. The Terrifying Earth Dragon has been killed by Lu Yang. Don't let his young age fool you; he is very capable. He is the Black Dragon King of this generation!"
Bian Cheng Wang continued.
"The Terrifying Earth Dragon was killed?"
"Black Dragon King?"
Upon hearing this, Qin Guang Wang immediately stood up excitedly and was about to bow to Lu Yang when Lu Tianfeng stopped him.
"No need for formalities. We're all family!"
"Let's go, clean up the battlefield, and head back. We can divide the spoils later!"
After speaking, Lu Tianfeng got up and left. The others packed up the remaining parts of the Terrifying Earth Dragon and also departed from the primeval forest.
Lu Yang remained alone and quickly packed the pieces of the Terrifying Earth Dragon's meat, then brought them to the cave where he was staying.
Lu Yang carefully examined the inner core of the Terrifying Earth Dragon in his hand. From it, Lu Yang could feel an extremely dense spiritual energy. This was the crystallization of the Terrifying Earth Dragon's hundred years of existence, containing not only spiritual energy but also immense essence. Lu Yang knew that obtaining this item would be enough to increase the cultivation level of an ordinary martial artist by one realm. However, Lu Yang's current cultivation realm was Half-step Divine Realm. Breaking through the shackles of heaven and earth to become a Divine Realm expert was extremely difficult, as Divine Realm experts had not appeared in the world for nearly a hundred years.
