Dragon King Hall's Legend

"Roar!"

The evil dragon's soul had just broken free from the ice seal and tried to escape, only to collide head-on with the Dragon Phoenix Cauldron.

Seeing the cauldron, it was greatly shocked and desperately tried to retreat and flee.

But as the Dragon Phoenix Cauldron slightly trembled, a phantom of a Divine Dragon appeared before its eyes.

"This..."

The evil dragon soul saw the Divine Dragon Artifact Spirit and was utterly astonished.

Panic and disbelief filled its eyes.

At that moment, an overwhelming suction force arrived, and instantly, the evil dragon could no longer resist and was directly captured into the Dragon Phoenix Cauldron.

"Buzz!"

After absorbing the evil dragon's soul, the Dragon Phoenix Cauldron lightly quivered, then flew back to Mu Jinyu.

Mu Jinyu waved his hand and stored away the Dragon Phoenix Cauldron.

"With such strength, you dare to be arrogant?"

Mu Jinyu chuckled disdainfully.

Then, he lowered his head, gazing at the two severed parts of the evil dragon's corpse sinking into the sea.

This evil dragon, in its lifetime, was likely a mighty being at the Void Breaking Realm, but because it had just resurrected, its strength hadn't fully recovered, allowing Mu Jinyu to easily deal with it.

But even if it wasn't a demon beast of the Void Breaking Realm, but merely at the Peak Hedao Realm Stage, its materials were extremely precious.

Coincidentally, Mu Jinyu was preparing to refine a Heaven-reaching spiritual treasure recently, so it might come in handy.

He couldn't let it go.

"Rise… Up!!"

Mu Jinyu lightly scolded, raising his hand slightly upward.

Instantly, the two parts of the dragon corpse submerged in the sea seemed to lose gravity, slowly floating upward.

Finally, they hovered before Mu Jinyu.

The nearly thousand-meter-long dragon corpse was tremendously huge, making Mu Jinyu appear minuscule like an ant in front of it.

But who could have imagined that such an ant ended the life of this giant dragon with a single spear?

"Yin Li, this dragon's strength is at least at the Unity Realm, so it'll have a demon core. Do you want it?"

Mu Jinyu asked Yin Li.

Though for a demon beast, the most precious thing is the demon core they condense.

Yet Yin Li had helped Mu Jinyu a lot along the way, and with Mu Jinyu possessing two Divine Plants, the demon core wasn't that valuable, so if Yin Li needed it, Mu Jinyu wouldn't mind giving it to her.

"No need."

Yin Li flew out from Mu Jinyu's embrace, glancing at the big lizard disdainfully before shaking her head.

Perhaps because she heard the cries resembling wails from ghosts, indicating that this evil dragon had stained its hands with too many innocent lives, laden with resentment. She didn't want to be tainted by such karma.

Seeing Yin Li refuse, Mu Jinyu curiously asked, "Why not?"

He found it odd; when he first encountered Yin Li, she was still a Little Ice Silkworm, utterly fearless and willing to eat anything, including creatures from the Half-Spirit Race and Blood Beasts conjured by the Blood Witch Clan.

Yet now she seemed somewhat daunted by this evil dragon.

Yin Li shook her head, "I just don't want it; it looks disgusting."

"Okay, if you don't want the demon core, do you need any other materials?" Mu Jinyu asked.

"I don't want anything; this big lizard is too trashy and useless for me." Yin Li still declined, speaking with disdain.

"Alright then." Mu Jinyu shrugged.

Since Yin Li didn't want it, he wouldn't force her to accept it either.

Then, Mu Jinyu shifted his gaze back to the dragon's body hovering before him and slightly raised his palm.

"Bang!"

"Snap!"

A series of crisp sounds erupted as the massive ice block sealing the dragon's body began to crack and shatter. Subsequently, a thick and intense stench of blood surged forward.

Mu Jinyu, holding onto the Dragon Spear, didn't put it away but restored it to a suitable size for himself. Then, stepping forward, he lightly flicked the spear edge to remove the evil dragon's reversed scales.

"Reversed scales, good stuff, collect!"

"Dragon horn is also good stuff, collect!"

"Ordinary dragon scales, dragon tendon, dragon skin, dragon claw, dragon bone, collect, collect, collect..."

Soon, under Mu Jinyu's decisive and efficient actions, the entire dragon carcass was cleanly dissected, every useful part collected without leaving anything behind.

Finally, only a large pile of dragon meat remained.

Mu Jinyu frowned slightly, staring at the pile of dragon meat before him, saying, "Why does this dragon meat smell sour and foul?"

"Because it can't be considered a dragon!" Yin Li scoffed, chiming in.

Having now cultivated the Divine Silkworm Transformation, her first transformation resembles a Divine Dragon, and her father nearly attained a dragon-like status, naturally fostering a fondness for Divine Dragons. Hence, seeing this lizard dragon, she harbors no goodwill.

From her heart, she believes it's not truly a dragon.

After a pause, Yin Li added, "The reason you find it sour and foul is because it was a dead dragon, only recently resurrected through unknown means, likely using lots of dead meat, right? So, I suggest you not eat it..."

Hearing Yin Li's advice, Mu Jinyu pondered and also felt it seemed plausible.

During Paradise Lost's time, they dispatched people to Qinling and other places to steal Dragon Qi, secretly sending Assassins to hunt those lizard-like Ferocious Beasts, possibly preparing to revive this evil dragon.

So, when Mu Jinyu first arrived at Crying Island and heard those cries resembling wails from ghosts, were they actually the resentful cries of these deceased Ferocious Beasts?

This evil dragon's flesh consists of various parts from dead creatures?

"Forget it, then I won't eat it!"

Mu Jinyu shook his head, losing his appetite.

"Bang!"

As Mu Jinyu waved his hand, the massive heap of dragon meat plummeted from the air, falling back into the sea.

After Mu Jinyu removed the Dragon Power from its flesh, even ordinary sea fish could eat it.

"Hmm, if this flesh is likely composed of residuals from various Ferocious Beasts and demon beasts, then what's the deal with the dragon skin and dragon scales?!"

Mu Jinyu looked at the dragon skin, horn, claw, etc., that he had stripped away, not feeling these materials were pieced together from various demon beasts.

Yin Li replied, "Who knows, perhaps they're refined from various demon beasts' materials? Or maybe after forcefully piecing together a body from flesh, its soul resurrected with the ability of Rebirth from a Drop of Blood, using Heaven and Earth Laws to reshape it?"

"So these materials should still be usable, right?" Mu Jinyu asked.

"Yes, though somewhat dirty, they can still be used for Artifact Refining." Yin Li nodded.

"As long as they're usable, I don't care much otherwise. I'm not planning to eat it, anyway." Mu Jinyu, seeing Yin Li nodding, had no more concerns.

Then, he waved his hand, gathering up all the stripped materials.

With these materials, plus a number of Exotic Beast's Divine Souls obtained from Paradise Lost, and the recently acquired Evil Dragon Soul, he thought they should suffice to refine a Heaven-reaching spiritual treasure?

Mu Jinyu mused inwardly.

Then, he turned back, glancing left and right but didn't see Bai Xiaosheng's phantom.

"That guy, was he just obliterated by that foolish dragon in one blow? But could he really be destroyed just like that? Or did he take the opportunity to leave?"

Mu Jinyu recalled that when he was preparing to seek out the Omniscient for a reckoning, Bai Xiaosheng emerged himself, then designated Shennongjia for their meeting.

Afterward, he disclosed Paradise Lost's headquarters and the plan to resurrect the Ancestral Dragon Evil God, then accompanied him since Mu Jinyu was unfamiliar with the destination.

He intended to deal with Paradise Lost and Withered Tree Quest for Spring first, before confronting the Omniscient.

However now Bai Xiaosheng vanished, likely even if he returned to Shennongjia, he wouldn't find Bai Xiaosheng anymore.
