Chapter 944: Divine Dragon Messenger!
Hearing this, Su Yi reflected on the three challenges he had faced. The scorching flames and icy breath must have constituted the physical test of the first challenge. The various illusions were part of the second challenge, designed to test his soul. The third challenge involved battling the ten ancient snake dragons, a test of his raw strength. In that trial, he was unable to rely on any weapons or external aids—only his own power.
“What kind of test is this?” Su Yi asked. The Five-clawed Golden Dragon had not clarified the nature of the test, but the elaborate setup hinted at its significance. From the dragon’s words, Su Yi deduced that thousands of people had taken part in this test before him, yet only eight had succeeded. It seemed he was now the ninth.
“For countless years, thousands of individuals with exceptional talent have participated in the test. Eight have succeeded, and you are the ninth—and the last,” the Five-clawed Golden Dragon declared.
Its eyes, as brilliant as stars, regarded Su Yi. A celestial light emanated from its gaze, enveloping Su Yi and resonating with the vast sky. In a voice akin to heavenly music, it continued, “All these tests serve to select the Divine Dragon Messenger.”
“Divine Dragon Messenger…” Su Yi muttered, his expression puzzled. He had never heard of such a thing before.
“Yes, the Divine Dragon Messenger. To become the Divine Dragon Messenger means to shoulder an immensely sacred responsibility,” the Five-clawed Golden Dragon explained. Its eyes gleamed with brilliance, resembling a swirling river of stars.
“What responsibility?” Su Yi asked, his heart stirring with curiosity. The existence of dragons in this world was already astonishing. The grandeur of the tests and the weight of the so-called sacred responsibility made Su Yi realize that the dragon before him was no ordinary creature. This was a true dragon, not merely a snake dragon.
“Once you pass the final test and become the Divine Dragon Messenger, you will naturally come to understand the responsibility. It is sacred beyond measure, and no accidents can be allowed,” the Five-clawed Golden Dragon said, its tone growing serious.
“The final test?” Su Yi’s eyes widened. After enduring the three arduous challenges, there was yet another test to face.
Looking at Su Yi, the Five-clawed Golden Dragon explained, “In the final test, you will be granted three drops of Golden Dragon Essence Blood to strengthen your body, and a strand of Golden Dragon Soul to temper your spirit. With these gifts, your potential will reach its zenith, and you will undoubtedly become the strongest in this world. It will only be a matter of time.”
“Three drops of Golden Dragon Essence Blood to strengthen my body, and a strand of Golden Dragon Soul to temper my spirit…”
Su Yi’s eyes trembled with astonishment. Although he didn’t fully comprehend the implications, he instinctively understood that the Golden Dragon Essence Blood and the Golden Dragon Soul were unparalleled treasures—the very essence and soul of a true dragon. Such treasures were undoubtedly peerless in the world.
“Wait a moment… Could there be another world beneath this one?” Su Yi wondered, his thoughts clouded with doubt. The words of the Five-clawed Golden Dragon seemed to hint at secrets he had never encountered before.
The dragon continued, “The integration of three drops of Golden Dragon Essence Blood and a strand of Golden Dragon Soul is no simple feat. While humans are highly compatible with my dragon clan, second only to our own kind, you are still merely human. Among all living creatures, humans are the least advanced. Attempting to merge with the three drops of Golden Dragon Essence Blood and the Golden Dragon Soul will be a trial of life and death.
“Over the years, of the eight individuals who passed the test, only one was considered half-successful. The other seven tragically failed. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have had to wait until this final deadline…”
The Five-clawed Golden Dragon sighed deeply. Even among the humans who had passed the test, each of unparalleled natural talent and unmatched aptitude, merging with the Golden Dragon Essence Blood and Soul had proven almost impossible. It was as difficult as ascending to the heavens.
“What happens if the fusion fails?” Su Yi asked. From the regretful expression of the Five-clawed Golden Dragon, he could sense that the consequences of failure would be unimaginable. Otherwise, the dragon wouldn’t appear so remorseful.
“If the fusion fails, your physical body will be destroyed by the Golden Dragon Essence Blood, and your soul will be shattered by the Golden Dragon Soul, ultimately leading to your complete annihilation!” The Five-clawed Golden Dragon looked directly at Su Yi, hiding nothing.
Su Yi exhaled deeply, his chest tightening. Among the eight ultimate contenders who had passed the trial, seven had failed and perished.
Su Yi understood just how extraordinary the talent and strength required to pass the tests were. Yet, even among eight exceptional individuals, seven had met their demise, and only one seemed to have succeeded partially.
“If one can successfully fuse three drops of Golden Dragon Essence Blood and the Golden Dragon Soul, they will become the Divine Dragon Messenger of our Dragon Clan, inheriting the strength of our lineage and rising to become a peak powerhouse in this world,” the dragon explained.
Sensing Su Yi’s shock and inner turmoil, the Five-clawed Golden Dragon continued, “Fail, and you perish. Succeed, and you ascend to the pinnacle of power in this world. You, human, must decide whether to retreat in fear or face this challenge without hesitation. True powerhouses never cower!”
The dragon’s words, resonating like heavenly music, carried an irresistible allure for any cultivator. The benefits it offered were nothing short of extraordinary—an opportunity to ascend to the heavens. For any cultivator, it was a temptation beyond comparison: the strength and power of the Dragon Clan!
Su Yi’s eyes sparkled with determination. To seek wealth and fortune amidst danger was the nature of those who aspired to greatness.
He was acutely aware of the immense power of the Sacred Mountain. Even with the Supreme Chaotic Yuan Technique and the Divine Demonic Ancient Verse, toppling such a force would not be possible in the short term. But if what the Five-clawed Golden Dragon said was true, obtaining the three drops of Golden Dragon Essence Blood and the Golden Dragon Soul would accelerate his path to becoming a peak powerhouse.
“May I ask, if I succeed, what sacred responsibility will I bear, and what price will I have to pay?”
Suppressing the fervent desire surging in his heart, Su Yi calmly questioned the Five-clawed Golden Dragon. He knew well that nothing in this world came without a price. To receive the Golden Dragon Essence Blood and the Golden Dragon Soul without some form of cost was unthinkable.
“When you become a Divine Dragon Messenger, your sacred responsibilities will naturally be revealed to you. As for the price, there is nothing for you to pay. You only need to fuse the three drops of Golden Dragon Essence Blood and the Golden Dragon Soul!”
The Five-clawed Golden Dragon paused momentarily, locking its ancient gaze on Su Yi before continuing, “Of course, to obtain these three drops of Golden Dragon Essence Blood and the Golden Dragon Soul, you must swear eternal loyalty to our dragon clan—for your entire life and for the generations to come. This is one of the responsibilities of being a Divine Dragon Messenger.
“The Golden Dragon Essence Blood and Golden Dragon Soul will also be passed down through your bloodline, ensuring that your descendants inherit dragon blood. They, too, will become protectors of the dragons. It is a great honor and source of pride for your lineage to carry the legacy of the Dragon Clan.”
