The Strongest Dragon in the Era of Beast Taming

Chapter 817: Chapter 811: Encounter with the Elf Again

Just looking at the shimmering River of Time in front of her, Daphne couldn’t help but tense her muscles and her hair stood on end, as if there was something far more terrifying than death hidden ahead.

She glanced at her little companions with worry in her eyes and took the initiative to step forward.

“Meow!” (Let me try!)

“How confident are you?” David Jones asked with a serious expression.

Even in taking risks, one must consider the consequences.

A trace of Daphne’s will resided within the Destiny Avatar. If the avatar fell once or twice, it would be bearable, and the damage to the true body wouldn’t be severe.

But if it happened too often, it could cause serious harm to Daphne’s psychic will.

“Meow, meow.” (There’s no guarantee, but I won’t get into trouble.)

Daphne looked earnestly at David Jones.

Instead of letting her friends dance on the edge of a knife, she would rather use the power of Destiny to probe the secrets of the River of Time.

David Jones exhaled deeply, feeling quite relieved as he gently pinched Daphne’s chin.

He understood Daphne’s feelings of concern for companions, but it wasn’t to that extent yet.

David Jones took out a dull-looking Class VI ghost implement from the Star Ring, then, under the watchful eyes of his cherished pets, slowly inserted it into the river.

“Sizzle!”

The moment the ghost implement touched the river, it dissolved instantly, spreading rapidly like flashes of lightning.

Seeing this, alarm bells rang madly in David Jones’s mind. He instinctively let go, dropping the ghost implement.

The water of the River of Time churned turbulently, and the ghost implement that fell into it was completely annihilated in the blink of an eye, leaving not even a shred of debris behind.

“Roar?” (Shall we try this?)

Gluttonous Beast offered the Chaos Emperor Blade to David Jones with a boldness that took him aback.

The destroyed Class VI ghost implement was worth a little money due to its material, and David Jones using it to test the corrosive power of the River of Time was considered making the most of it, barely avoiding a total loss.

But the Chaos Emperor Blade was a seven-refined heritage weapon, which he could not bear to waste like that.

“Silly dragon, are you trying to get me killed!”

Azr’s shadow suddenly appeared, slapping Gluttonous Beast on the head with a paw.

Then it turned to David Jones with a grave expression, “Don’t look at me, looking at me is no use! The Time Water has the majesty to distort reality and control the flow of time; I definitely don’t want to revert to the senseless God Treasure Iron I was at the start.”

“You know the details about the Time Water?” David Jones’s eyes lit up.

“A bit.” Azr’s claw gestured slightly, making an obvious demand for more money.

“How about I just toss you in?” David Jones joked.

“No, no, no!” Azr waved its claws, its draconic eyes turning to Innocence with a heavy tone, “The power of time is mysterious and formidable; not just me, even an Immortal semi-immortal implement would be reduced to ash in the River of Time.”

At this point, it continued without much hope, “Unless you can find the legendary Eternal True God to help, it’s more realistic for us to return the way we came.”

Upon hearing this, David Jones turned to look at Innocence, a hint of hesitation in his eyes.

Azr knew nothing of his social circle.

What is the so-called Eternal True God? There was one living in his Origin Star Space.

However, Cosmos was still in a state of slumber and couldn’t be relied upon for now.

At this moment, it seemed that the only one he could rely on was Innocence, who was, after all, an Eternal True God implement.

“Buzz!”

Perceiving David Jones’s thoughts, Innocence trembled slightly, and the dragon and phoenix runes on its surface began to emerge slowly, exuding an astonishing presence as if it were going to contend with the River of Time.

“Daphne, I’ll leave it to you then.”

David Jones’s heart softened, handing Innocence over to Daphne’s avatar.

At that moment, a pair of dainty eyes emerged from the depths of the River of Time.

“Ling?”

Feeling the refreshing flow of the river, the Time Elf curiously watched the actions of David Jones and his companions.

Although it didn’t understand why this group of people were risking the river crossing, it decided to help as long as it was within its power, given that they could see it.

With that thought, the crystal-clear wings of the Time Elf behind gently flapped, making the turbulent Time River docile.

“Now is the time.”

Under David Jones’ direction, the Daphne avatar holding Innocence in its arms suddenly transformed into a towering pillar that pierced the heavens, blocking the waterfall at its source with a deafening roar.

As the waterfall unleashed its power of distorting time, the surface of Innocence started to glow with a golden lustre, forging resplendent dragon and phoenix runes, guarded by the flow of the Five Elements Path.

Boom.

The next instant, the rushing water pushed aside the God Treasure Iron.

Innocence descended at a forty-five-degree angle, landing precisely in the direction of the plaque of Candle Dragon Palace, with golden streams of energy swirling around it.

“Tap, tap, tap.”

Seeing this, the Daphne avatar didn’t hesitate and stepped onto Innocence, charging into the waterfall.

Under the protection of the golden energy streams, the Daphne avatar didn’t need to worry about the erosion of the Time Water, as if entering a quiet and peaceful world of the Five Elements.

Quickly, the Daphne avatar crossed the Time River and landed in front of Candle Dragon Palace, turning back to shake its cat paw at David Jones to signal everything was fine.

“Meow.”

David Jones breathed a sigh of relief and led the little ones onto Innocence in the same manner.

Bang, bang, bang!

At first, the Time River was calm, but as David Jones covered four-fifths of the distance, the river began to shake, forming a huge vortex.

Then, a limbless and featureless monstrous beast, with a streamlined body, suddenly surged forth to attack, targeting Loona.

Its body was covered with scales that looked like meteoric glass, and its long, powerful tail flickered with a piercing chill, emanating a ferocious aura so intense that it distorted the surrounding space-time.

Rainbow’s gaze hardened as the Power of Annihilation quickly gathered at her dragon claws, preparing to strike back.

“Don’t bother with it, it can’t break through Innocence’s defense.”

Seeing the true nature of the Disaster Beast through his Golden Eyes of Flame, David Jones communicated the idea to stop.

Rather than engaging in battle, their most important task now was to hurry across the river and minimize Innocence’s consumption.

“Ling, ling, ling…” The melodious and pleasant sound rose once again.

David Jones’ expression shifted subtly as he turned his gaze toward the source of the sound.

There, the Time Elf that seemed as if out of a dream was singing an ancient and mysterious song with its eyes closed and hands clasped before its chest.

Between the verses, invisible ripples of time emerged, completely enveloping the Disaster Beast, before finally bursting with a thunderous explosion.

…

In front of Candle Dragon Palace.

David Jones first stored the now-dim Innocence into the Star Ring, then turned his head towards the Time Elf peeking out from behind a sculpture.

“It’s okay, I saved them!”

The Time Elf took a deep breath and summoned the courage to face David Jones.

“Gurgle! Gurgle!”

Just then, the Time Elf’s stomach suddenly made a sound, and it instinctively wrapped its wings around itself in an attempt to hide it.

“Are you hungry? Would you like something to eat?”

With a flash of light from the Star Ring at his fingertip, David Jones quickly produced a dish of succulent and juicy lobster salad with an appetizing color.

Not sure whether the Time Elf preferred meat or vegetables, David Jones opted for a lobster salad that combined both for safety.

“Ling?”

The Time Elf’s eyes widened as it involuntarily swallowed.

David Jones placed the dish before it and said with a smile,

“Don’t worry, please enjoy yourself, this is all for you.”
