The Strongest Dragon in the Era of Beast Taming

Chapter 873: Chapter 867: Fate Immortality

“No, this can’t go on any longer!”

Noticing the pure Arcane Force within the Golden Fire Crystal decreasing at a visible rate, the Golden Flame Dragon grew restless.

It could accept everyone passing through the Trial of Body, but it couldn’t bear any damage to the treasure guarded for Lord Azure Dragon.

“Stop this at once!”

The Arcane Force of the Golden Flame Dragon erupted, its dragon body tearing through the void like a meteor, emitting a piercing howl.

Its pair of dragon claws burst forth with scorching waves of fire that twisted the very space around them.

This was the Class VIII legendary Fire skill “Sky-Splitting Flame Claw,” the signature Species Skill of the Golden Flame Dragon that could release the legendary flames from the depths of the Lahyper-golden Flame Pool, instantly melting anything in its way.

One strike was enough to shatter mountains and rivers, evaporating streams.

The ever-burning golden imperial flame could even turn the world into a magma sea that could last for hundreds, or even thousands of years.

Seeing the Golden Flame Dragon unleash such a terrifying attack, some Trainers who had yet to enter the next phase of the trials couldn’t help but stop in their tracks and look up to witness this rare and legendary battle.

“Meow.” (“Swallow Flame.”)

Daphne stopped her Calm Mind cultivation, and the Destiny Flame that twined around her body burst out with a dazzling protective barrier.

Boom!

Daphne clashed with the Golden Flame Dragon, a cat and a dragon tearing through space.

In the instant their bodies crossed and touched, violent roars and surging waves of fire burst out, making the entire Lahyper-golden Flame Pool tremble.

The watching Trainers kept retreating, commanding their Pets to withstand the residual waves of the collision’s skills, their eyes filled with amazement.

“Such powerful flames!”

The expression of the Golden Flame Dragon was grave as it fixed its gaze on the leaping Destiny Flame on Daphne’s body.

It didn’t understand!

Why could a Class VII upper-level Fire Emperor Pet overcome the ranks to smash the Sky-Splitting Flame Claw and even scorch itself though it hadn’t used its full strength?

The Golden Flame Dragon glanced at its dragon claws that tingled slightly, bearing several pitted scars.

It needed to be known it was a Fire Phantom Beast that, even without using skills to resist, could rely on its formidable Fire resistance to be immune to most Class VIII Emperor’s Fire attacks.

The leader of this generation of Rosewood truly was extraordinary!

As the Golden Flame Dragon was inwardly shaken, Daphne struck.

“Meow? Meow!” (“Isn’t the challenge about completing Calm Mind cultivation amidst the fiery assault? Why did you suddenly attack me!”)

Upon hearing this, the Golden Flame Dragon was stunned.

What’s going on?

You’re absorbing my Golden Fire Crystal, and now you’re the one in the right?

A flicker of anger crossed the eyes of the Golden Flame Dragon, but it suddenly felt that Daphne’s words made some sense.

So, enduring its impatience, it explained, “The challenge is to complete a Calm Mind session amidst the fiery aura of the Lahyper-golden Flame Pool, which has nothing to do with the Golden Fire Crystal.”

“Meow, meow?” (“The fiery aura in the pool comes from the Golden Fire Crystal anyway, isn’t using it for Calm Mind the same?”)

Daphne tilted her head, a look of disappointment in her eyes.

“It’s not the same!”

The Golden Flame Dragon wanted to retort but found itself at a loss for words on what the difference was.

After all, the Golden Fire Crystal was a treasure used by Lord Azure Dragon to test the worthiness of inheritors. The fact that this Class VII Destiny Pet could absorb the fiery aura from the crystal meant it was per Lord Azure Dragon’s arrangement, which didn’t seem like a violation of the rules.

Instead, the Golden Flame Dragon’s act of treating the Golden Fire Crystal as its own seemed more reproachable.

And then, the Golden Flame Dragon fell silent.

The lengthy passage of time had nearly made it forget who the true master of the fire crystal really was; it was merely the guardian of the Golden Fire Crystal.

Seeing the Golden Flame Dragon standing motionless, Daphne turned her head towards David Jones, her eyes filled with confusion.

“Just wait a bit longer, let’s see what it says,” David Jones conveyed through his thoughts.

He would not force the use of Rosewood College’s guardian treasure to facilitate Daphne’s breakthrough, not because of morality, but due to his own principles.

“If you can remain completely unaffected by the fire energy, then you may continue.”

After a moment’s hesitation, the Golden Flame Dragon turned its head away, somewhat adopting an out-of-sight, out-of-mind stance.

Granted permission, Daphne’s eyes fixed on the Golden Fire Crystal, her radiant pupils tinged with strands of golden light as she began to absorb the Arcane Force within the fire crystal.

“Boom!”

The twisting flames rapidly spread from the crystal, eventually enveloping Daphne’s entire figure.

Feeling the terrifying heat that was hitting him now, David Jones’s pupils contracted slightly.

Such fearsome flames could even be difficult for a Class VIII Emperor to withstand; some Emperor Beasts vulnerable to fire might turn to ashes instantly upon contact with the Golden Fire Crystal.

Only someone like Daphne who has maxed out fire resistance and the skill Swallow Flame, allowing her to absorb flames, could remain unaffected and successfully assimilate it.

“The Golden Fire Crystal is priceless, but it cannot compare to the glory of fighting alongside Lord Azure Dragon. Are you sure you want to waste time here?” the Golden Flame Dragon asked David Jones.

“It is fate if I obtain it; it is fortune if I lose it,” David Jones said with a smile, “Daphne’s breakthrough is more important than a spot in the Azure Dragon’s inheritance.”

Hearing this, the Golden Flame Dragon gave David Jones a deep look, without further comment.

Over the long years past, it had seen countless Trainers abandon their pets in pursuit of power.

It was very curious!

Whether David Jones could maintain his composure upon witnessing Lord Azure Dragon’s might, whether he would regret missing out on the power of the Azure Dragon.

David Jones himself wasn’t pondering that much; he quietly watched the great solar phantom Daphne had become, waiting patiently.

As time passed, the light of advancement dissipated, the Destiny Flame that scorched the space began to retract, gradually revealing Daphne’s divine and graceful form.

“It’s a success!”

Feeling the pure Arcane Force feedback from the Beast Taming Contract, David Jones’s tense heart relaxed, and his gaze towards Daphne was filled with an undeniable smile.

Good, now Daphne just needs to stabilize her Class VII apex cultivation before she can make the final push towards Class VIII Emperor.

But that was a concern for later. What David Jones was most interested in now was the new skill Daphne would awaken after her advancement.

“Profile”: Fate Immortality

“Level”: Class IX Destiny skill

“Profile”: All things have their fated lifespans, and these lifespans determine achievements. As both a creature of destiny and the only Sacred Beast, the Destiny Dragondoll can ignore the barriers between levels in an environment rich with Arcane Force, and accomplish breakthroughs with one hundred percent certainty without any risk of failure backlash.

Note: This skill can only support the Destiny Sacred Beast’s growth to Class IX Immortal, and is ineffective for breaking through to the Divine Realm.

“Damn!”

Having read the skill profile, David Jones couldn’t help but curse, drawing curious glances from Rainbow and the others.

Seeing this, David Jones didn’t hesitate to share the information about Fate Immortality with Rainbow and the others.

“!!!”

The pets looked at each other, their expressions torn between envy and celebration.

With the Candle Dragon Palace available, Daphne wasn’t lacking in Arcane Force; wasn’t her future breakthrough to Class IX Immortality pretty much set in stone!
