Chapter 952: Divine Dragon Leader!
“Is that so…”
Su Yi grew more perplexed. Looking at the Five-clawed Golden Dragon, he asked, “But would Senior Golden Dragon really give me such a significant advantage for no reason?”
Golden Dragon Essence Blood and Golden Dragon Soul were extraordinary treasures. Su Yi found it hard to believe that this Five-clawed Golden Dragon would bestow them upon him without a motive. It seemed far too generous. Although, in his past life, he had been a descendant of dragons, this had nothing to do with the present situation.
“Hmm…”
The Five-clawed Golden Dragon hesitated briefly before offering Su Yi a slight smile. “The benefits you’ve obtained are due to your own abilities; consider them a reward. If you had failed to integrate the Golden Dragon Essence Blood and Golden Dragon Soul and lost your life instead, it would simply mean you lacked the necessary fortune. I wouldn’t bear any responsibility for that. So, all of this is indeed a gift for you. However…”
The dragon paused, its gaze locking onto Su Yi. “Though the Golden Dragon Essence Blood and Golden Dragon Soul are now yours, you also carry the treasure of our dragon clan within you. You are the final person I have tested, and as such, you will represent our dragon clan in the mortal world.”
“Represent the dragon clan? What kind of identity is that supposed to be…?”
Su Yi narrowed his eyes. He knew that nothing in life came without a price. This arrangement seemed suspicious. How could he receive such rewards without a catch?
“As the representative of the dragon clan, you may also call yourself the Divine Dragon Leader. Compared to the Divine Dragon Messenger, the status of the Divine Dragon Leader is much higher. Even during the golden era of our dragon clan, the position of Divine Dragon Leader was equivalent to that of a regular dragon guardian. As the leader of our dragon clan, you won’t have any specific responsibilities. However, one day, you may serve as proof that our dragon clan has not truly vanished.”
The Five-clawed Golden Dragon’s gaze dimmed, a trace of sorrow lingering in its expression. In ancient times, the dragon clan was a thriving, formidable race, one of the most powerful in the world. Now, it had long been buried in the sands of time, its glory reduced to mere memories.
“That seems acceptable,” Su Yi said with a hint of resignation.
Since he had acquired the title of Divine Dragon Leader and it came with no obligations, he saw no harm in accepting it. Besides, he had indeed benefited greatly from the dragon clan’s treasures.
“The nine drops of Golden Dragon Essence Blood and the three strands of Golden Dragon Soul you’ve acquired are far from ordinary. You will understand their true significance in the future. Now that you are the Divine Dragon Leader, I will give you an additional gift. I have no further use for it.”
As the Five-clawed Golden Dragon spoke, two radiant golden lights emerged from its body and shot directly into Su Yi’s chest.
Inside Su Yi’s body, the two drops of golden blood settled near his Heavenly Sun Heart, radiating immense dragon power. These tiny drops shimmered with the brilliance of the sun, condensed and incredibly potent.
“These are the last two drops of Golden Dragon Essence Blood. You may refine them now or reserve them for future use. However, I must warn you: you’ve already refined nine drops, which is the absolute limit for a human. Even if you manage to refine these two additional drops, they will yield minimal benefit to your current cultivation and strength.
“Golden Dragon Essence Blood is extraordinary. Even the most talented geniuses of this world would struggle to refine it. Furthermore, the true power of the Golden Dragon Essence Blood lies in its ability to awaken the bloodline, guiding the energy of heaven and earth to enhance one’s strength.
“For humans, age and physical condition significantly impact the effects of this essence. A cultivator with a higher cultivation level might refine it, but their results would be far from optimal.
“Lastly, I strongly advise you not to reveal these treasures to anyone. The consequences would be dire. At your current cultivation level, you wouldn’t even know how you died.”
As the Five-clawed Golden Dragon finished speaking, he regarded Su Yi with a meaningful gaze.
“I understand, Elder.”
How could Su Yi not understand? The Golden Dragon Essence Blood came from the true dragon clan. If news of him possessing even two drops of this essence blood were to spread, he wouldn’t survive more than three hours before being torn apart by the powerful beings of the Chaos Realm.
The significance of the Five-clawed Golden Dragon’s words stayed firmly in Su Yi’s mind. The effects of the Golden Dragon Essence Blood were tied to one’s bloodline. Regardless of cultivation level, refining the Golden Dragon Essence Blood was equally challenging for everyone.
The essence blood could attract the power of heaven and earth, and the benefits one gained from it ultimately depended on their cultivation level. The energy contained within the Golden Dragon Essence Blood itself wasn’t the key—it was about how much of the heavenly power it attracted could be absorbed.
However, something the Five-clawed Golden Dragon mentioned puzzled Su Yi. He said that even the most outstanding human genius would struggle to merge with a single drop of Golden Dragon Essence Blood. Yet, Su Yi had fused with nine drops without much difficulty. This raised questions in his mind—could it all be due to the mysterious space and the Supreme Chaotic Yuan Technique?
“And take this with you. It represents your identity. You may need it one day.”
As the voice of the Five-clawed Golden Dragon resonated in Su Yi’s ears, a jade card glowing with golden light appeared before him.
Su Yi casually grabbed the jade card. Upon closer inspection, he realized it was a golden, glossy, and smooth dragon scale about the size of his palm. A faint pattern of a Five-clawed Golden Dragon was engraved on it, with the dragon’s head looking ferocious and the word “Commander” etched in intricate dragon patterns. A great dragon’s might emanated from the scale, filling the air with an intimidating, soul-stirring aura.
“A treasure!”
Su Yi’s heart trembled secretly. This single object alone was unimaginably valuable—a dragon scale, one from a real dragon’s body. Its worth was beyond question.
“This is the Divine Dragon Leader Token,” the Five-clawed Golden Dragon explained. “It signifies the identity of the Divine Dragon Leader. Keep it safe.”
“Senior Golden Dragon, if you have anything else, I wouldn’t mind taking it all. You can give whatever you wish to this junior,” Su Yi said cheekily, gripping the token tightly. His gaze flickered slyly. After all, this was a genuine Five-clawed Golden Dragon. Anything it gave would undoubtedly be an invaluable treasure. Even the smallest gift could make him wealthy.
“Don’t bother. I am merely a lingering spirit. There is nothing else on me,” the Five-clawed Golden Dragon replied bluntly, crushing Su Yi’s dreams without mercy.
“Originally, I hadn’t planned on opening this place. But that little phoenix accidentally intruded and woke me up early. Because of this, I still have three years to observe how far you, my chosen one, can go.
If within three years you can step into what you humans call the Yuan Zong Realm, return here to find me. The Golden Dragon Essence Blood and Golden Dragon Soul within you will allow you to awaken me in this sealed space. At that time, I will give you something else.
However, if you fail to reach the Yuan Zong Realm within three years, don’t bother coming back. I won’t waste my time seeing you again.”
