Chapter 145: Chapter 92: Is Prince Pingbian’s Ancestor Going to Undergo Dragon Transformation?
Zhang Chen did not refute, allowing the Official to put shackles on him as he walked towards the city outskirts.
The journey was without any disturbances, mainly because Zhang Chen had the Fox Spirit borrow some money from the County Magistrate’s house to bribe the Official, making the trip quite agreeable. In a few days, they reached the Yellow River.
From a distance, a yellow Divine Dragon lay sprawled out on the earth, twisting and turning, stretching towards the horizon.
Zhang Chen looked out and saw a group of commoners bustling around the dried-up riverbed like ants, repeatedly cleaning the river’s silt. The entire construction site was bustling with activity, likely involving over a hundred thousand workers.
But as Zhang Chen was observing the scene, suddenly the Dragon Qi within his body surged, a flash of Golden Light appeared in his eyes, and in the next moment, Zhang Chen’s expression changed dramatically, nearly startling him into jumping off the donkey cart.
Through Zhang Chen’s Dharma Eye, he saw in the high sky above the Yellow River, a golden Divine Dragon with its mouth wide open, continuously devouring the water vapor from all directions of Heaven and Earth.
The Divine Dragon was massive, likely ten thousand feet in length, its body shimmering with Golden Light, each scale as large as a carriage wheel.
The Divine Dragon was enormous!
Right before his eyes!
It roamed within the void above the Yellow River, consuming the world’s water vapor.
Most crucially, one of the Divine Dragon’s tails was surprisingly coiled, connecting with the river channel below that stretched for ten miles.
"This place is the origin of the Transformed Dragon and Walking Flood Dragon! The Walking Flood Dragon, in fact, lies right beneath the silt of the Yellow River!" Zhang Chen looked at the majestic and imposing True Dragon in the sky, a trace of horror in his eyes.
Simultaneously, the True Dragon Destiny within his body was eager to move, transforming into a slender True Dragon inside Zhang Chen’s body, cautiously devouring the diffuse Dragon Qi from Heaven and Earth through Zhang Chen’s pores.
"This place is actually the birthplace of the Walking Flood Dragon!!!" Zhang Chen clenched his fists inside his sleeves, his eyes filled with horror, then the Crystal Core within his body circulated, forcing himself to calm down. He quickly summoned the Fox Spirit, directing his gaze towards her.
The Fox Spirit immediately cast an Illusion Technique, looking at Zhang Chen with an annoyed expression: "Speak, you summoned me, what’s the matter this time?"
"There’s something I forgot to ask you. You said now there’s a Walking Flood Dragon undergoing Dragon Transformation, but I stole the Flood Dragon’s luck and True Dragon Destiny. What will happen to that mysterious Transformed Dragon and Walking Flood Dragon?" Zhang Chen inquired.
The Fox Spirit twitched her lips at his words, looking at Zhang Chen with her big eyes, somewhat speechless. A long while later, she finally said, "What else? It’s just his bad luck! Who told him to encounter you?"
At this point, the Fox Fairy Nannan seemed to know that Zhang Chen was unaware of the underlying secrets, so she explained: "In Heaven and Earth, there is only one True Dragon, a unique Law. All Flood Dragons and Demon Beasts under Heaven can transform into dragons if they acquire the True Dragon Destiny."
"Now, the one undergoing Walking Flood Dragon got the fortune, and he should have smoothly transformed into a True Dragon, from then on soaring in the nine heavens, bringing rain. But unfortunately, he met you, and you took his Destiny, which means he has luck but not Destiny, only able to blame his own misfortune. Unless you are willing to return the True Dragon Destiny to him, he’s doomed!" The Fox Fairy Nannan’s voice was filled with emotion: "Once he undergoes Walking Flood Dragon and transforms into a True Dragon, his lifespan will be at least a thousand years. What a great fortune! But you’ve disrupted it. I’m afraid when he appears, he’ll come for revenge!"
"What do you mean I disrupted it? It’s clearly you with bad intentions, it was just a coincidence! That True Dragon Destiny was desperate to get into my body, what could I do?" Zhang Chen’s expression was full of innocence, which made the Fox Spirit want to hit him.
The Fox Fairy Nannan now sported a bitter melon face, full of helplessness, what could she do?
She was helpless too!
She chased and begged, hoping the True Dragon Destiny would favor her, and what happened?
The True Dragon Destiny absolutely ignored her!
The Fox Fairy Nannan actually wanted to grab Zhang Chen’s head, give him a good punch, and ask: Why?
But she swallowed her anger!
"Wait, you just said that if he fails the Walking Flood Dragon transformation, he will come for revenge? Does it mean even if he fails, he can still survive?" Zhang Chen grasped the key point.
"He can’t become a True Dragon, but he can become a Pseudo Dragon. Even as a Pseudo Dragon, he would at least be at the Ninth Rank Yang God level, something we cannot handle. You better hope he dies before being born, or else we’ll be in big trouble," the Fox Spirit said with caution in her voice.
Upon hearing this, Zhang Chen fell silent, countless thoughts flashing through his mind. After thinking for a long time, he finally asked, "How do I return the True Dragon Destiny?"
"If he devours your soul, the True Dragon Destiny will naturally be complete," the Fox Fairy Nannan said leisurely. "So you should absolutely not harbor any luck, if you meet a Dragon Race in the future, run as far as you can."
"If he fails to transform into a True Dragon, he is likely to become a Flood Dragon, Taotie, Vigilant, or Qiu Niu, but even so, it’s not something you can deal with," the Fox Fairy Nannan’s voice was full of seriousness, indicating she was not joking.
Zhang Chen, after hearing that, looked at the Fox Fairy Nannan and asked, "You said that now I’ve acquired the True Dragon Destiny, if I also swallow the fortune of the Dragon Transformation, will I have a chance to replace it and directly transform into a True Dragon?"
"Of course you can!" the Fox Fairy Nannan replied without hesitation. "But even if he didn’t succeed in Dragon Transformation, he is still at the Ninth Rank. Are you sure you can swallow him? And not get swallowed by him instead?"
