"After you eat it, it will quickly devour the life force inside your body and make you look like you're about to die. That way, your performance will be more natural…"
Although Di Tian felt this was a little wicked, he still forced himself to say it. As long as he himself did not feel awkward, then the awkward ones would be the other dragons.
"You old one are truly wise and resourceful…"
The Heavy Armored Earth Dragon could not hold back and spoke to Di Tian in an almost mocking tone.
Di Tian simply pretended not to hear it.
But no matter how many emotions it had, there was no point.
The Heavy Armored Earth Dragon swallowed the Life Gold in one gulp and felt the life force it released inside its body for the moment. It could not help shaking its head.
After that, under Di Tian's lead, the Heavy Armored Earth Dragon moved into the ruin Di Tian had just made by hand.
Then it spent some time carefully memorizing the lines Di Tian wanted it to say.
As Di Tian stimulated the Heavy Armored Earth Dragon's body from the outside, the Life Gold inside it quickly moved around.
It shifted from releasing life force to the second state, where it began absorbing the Heavy Armored Earth Dragon's life force in reverse.
The Heavy Armored Earth Dragon was clearly in the prime of its life.
But under this pulling force, it felt its life origin draining away.
It had originally been able to live for another hundred thousand years, yet now, it truly might not even last ten thousand years.
"Lord Di Tian, what we're doing really has meaning, right?"
"Believe me. It will definitely succeed."
"My Lord must have her own great plan."
Di Tian spoke seriously.
...
Although he still harbored some doubts about why Long Na'er wanted to see him, Chen Ming ultimately chose to believe her.
Long Na'er had sworn upon her ancestors and the glory of her family. Such an oath was not something one could make lightly.
Of course, the main reason was that being targeted by the Silver Dragon King was hard to handle at this point in time.
So as long as he could avoid completely ruining their relationship, Chen Ming would not choose to do so.
After all, after going through so much effort, Long Na'er could not really be trying to lure him out just to devour him, right?
Although that was indeed possible, Chen Ming still felt it was not very likely.
Still, before leaving, Chen Ming left behind a few hints.
If he did not return when the time came, then several messages from different directions would be sent directly to Spirit Hall and the major forces.
This time, Chen Ming did not let Qian Renxue follow him.
Instead, he followed Long Na'er by himself and left Heaven Dou Imperial Academy, heading straight for the Star Dou Forest.
In the small town outside the Star Dou Forest, Chen Ming met the so-called Black Emperor.
He was a man dressed in a black robe. His figure looked a little thin, but his eyes shone like gold.
For some reason, even though his strength was deep and powerful, his face carried a heavy look of exhaustion.
He looked like a miserable worker who had been forced to work overtime for several months without rest.
"So this is the person you're bringing with you this time?"
The Golden-Eyed Black Dragon King Di Tian, using the alias Black Emperor, looked at Chen Ming.
From Chen Ming, he sensed a rich dragon aura.
That fusion of multiple Dragon King powers from different attributes was something that could not be found even during the golden age of the dragon clan.
Even the top geniuses among dragons, the Nine Dragon Kings themselves, had only inherited one part of the Dragon God's power each.
The Dragon God's power was so great that it almost did not seem like it belonged to one being.
It was not the power of a single talented individual, but something beyond common sense, a symbolic existence beyond the meaning of an individual.
Di Tian's parents were the Black Dragon King and the White Dragon King.
Among the Nine Dragon Kings, both were among the strongest.
The White Dragon King was even known as the strongest of the Nine Dragon Kings.
But because the Nine Dragon Kings had never truly fought to decide who was higher or lower, no one could say whether that was true or not.
Even Di Tian, born from the bloodline of two Dragon Kings and known as the number one genius of the new dragon generation, had only inherited most of the Black Dragon King's power and a small part of the White Dragon King's power.
Between the two attributes, there was a clear main and secondary side.
So Chen Ming's capacity to hold the powers of many different Dragon Kings made even Di Tian sigh in praise.
If Chen Ming was not the reincarnation of a dragon expert, or someone affected by the Dragon God's power, then Di Tian truly could not imagine how one individual could contain so many powerful forces.
"Uncle Black Emperor, this is the person I chose."
"His name is Chen Ming. I trust him very much."
Because Di Tian's identity outside was the sect master of a hidden sect, while Long Na'er was only the young master of that sect, Long Na'er called him "uncle" in public.
If judging by seniority, the Golden and Silver Dragon Kings were probably half a generation above the Nine Dragon Kings. They could be considered Di Tian's elders.
But in truth, if one only compared their time of birth, Di Tian was indeed much older than the Silver Dragon King.
"So this is the legendary number one genius of the continent?"
"As expected, heroes come from the young."
Di Tian, disguised as Black Emperor, nodded lightly. With a flick of his sleeve, spatial power surged around them. Under his Spirit Power, the space underwent massive distortion. In the very next instant, the three of them were displaced dozens of kilometers away by the overwhelming spatial force.
They arrived before what appeared to be an ancient ruin. Di Tian slowly spoke:
"It is said that this place is a ruin left behind by a great dragon expert from the ancient dragon era."
"Inside, there are extremely powerful treasures and the power of the dragon clan. However, the dragon clan respects bloodline above all."
"My Martial Soul bloodline is not strong enough. A powerful enough dragon Martial Soul is needed as the key to open this ruin."
"As long as you are willing to help me open this ruin, I will surely give you a generous reward. And if you have the ability, then whatever you obtain inside the ruin will belong to you. I will not fight you for it."
"A powerful sub-dragon Spirit Beast is guarding outside the ruin. If we fight inside the ruin, even I cannot guarantee that the ruin will survive. So I hope you two can persuade that Spirit Beast."
"If you cannot persuade it, I am also fully confident I can take you away safely."
Following the script prepared earlier, Di Tian spoke with a serious expression.
"Senior Black Emperor, may I ask which great dragon expert left this ruin behind?"
"It is said that this place was left behind by… the legendary Black Dragon King."
Di Tian lied without the slightest change in expression or heartbeat.
Aside from the Heavy Armored Earth Dragon guarding outside, Di Tian had indeed placed something inside the ruin.
It was a drop of his own blood.
He had restrained the White Dragon power within it, leaving behind only the pure power of the Black Dragon.
