Chapter 14

On the other side, the struggle between the giant stone and Morax had also entered its final stages.

"Let's end it..." Morax gasped for air.

This journey also required negotiating with the Dust God, whose depth was unknown; he could not waste too much strength in such a place.

The giant stone before him trembled slightly, seemingly agreeing with Morax's words.

Jiang Yan also climbed up from the pit hole in the distance.

Gazing at the mess all around, the place that was once a feng shui treasure land had been battered into a state of ruin, and the earth veins here had suffered severe damage; it would take at least a hundred years to recover.

Morax gave a bitter smile and bowed slightly toward the giant stone.

"I disturbed your secluded cultivation; I am truly sorry."

Morax gave the giant stone full respect.

Not only because of its own strength, but more so because of his own reasons, he had disturbed its cultivation.

The giant stone trembled slightly, indicating it did not mind; it had also fought to its heart's content. After long periods of solitary cultivation, suddenly having someone disturb it made it somewhat excited.

Jiang Yan stood aside, saying nothing.

At this moment, he was certain that the giant stone before him was the future Long Wang!

This was the strongest combat power under Morax's command! He could not let his rash disturbance affect the progress of their friendship.

One could say that signing contracts with Long Wang and Lady Guizhong, the Dust God, was the key to Morax's rise!

"Are you alright?"

Seeing Jiang Yan standing aside, Morax asked with a light laugh.

Jiang Yan smiled and shook his head, saying, "I am still too young; this battle has also made me realize many shortcomings."

"It is good to have gained something; learning from others' strengths to supplement one's own weaknesses is the element of becoming stronger."

Morax nodded. He continued speaking: "Then let us prepare to leave this place."

Jiang Yan also nodded, but just as the two were about to prepare to leave, the giant stone beside them suddenly shook violently, leaped up as a whole, and crashed down fiercely before the two of them.

"What do you intend to do?!"

Jiang Yan instinctively pressed his palms together, but Morax reached out and stopped him.

"Disturbing your secluded cultivation was my fault; destroying your cultivation site, I will also compensate."

Morax spoke softly to the stone.

"If you do not mind, you may go to Mount Tianheng for secluded cultivation; I will make ample space available for you."

The giant stone shook its body, jumping up and down.

Morax was momentarily at a loss.

Jiang Yan behind him simply could not watch anymore and spoke up to remind: "Does he want us to take him with us?"

The giant stone thumped twice, appearing to indicate agreement.

Morax suddenly understood.

"Legend says most underground creatures cannot see..."

To facilitate communication with the giant stone, he condensed rock elemental power in his hands and extended them toward the stone.

Jiang Yan said nothing, simply standing aside and waiting quietly.

After a short while, Morax suddenly spoke:

"This matter originated from me; precisely because of this, naturally a thread of karma has been formed between the two of us."

"Now I will use my mighty power to help you take form; you must also sign a contract with me..."

"That is, to live together with me, coexist with humans, and protect the humans here for a thousand years."

"After the contract ends, you will regain your freedom, but if you commit evil deeds in this world..."

Morax's expression changed, and a pressure belonging to the Rock God revealed itself.

"I will pay any price to seal you back into darkness."

Although the giant stone could not speak, a faint stream of spiritual power entered the ears of the two.

He agreed!

"Very well, the contract is complete."

"Those who break their word shall suffer the punishment of eating rock!"

Morax gathered divine power and signed the contract; the giant stone did not struggle but allowed Morax to proceed.

"The next part may take a long time; you may walk around this area and do your own things."

Morax turned and spoke to Jiang Yan.

"No problem, no problem; you attend to what you must; I will just rest for a while."

Jiang Yan waved his hand; after all, he had plenty of time.

This was the moment to witness the birth of Long Wang!

How could he miss it?

After spending about an entire night, ignoring Jiang Yan lying on the wooden bed nearby and snoring, Morax gently exhaled a breath of turbid air.

Archdemons do not need sleep, so Morax currently felt no fatigue.

The moment Jiang Yan opened his eyes and woke up, he saw the lifelike Shi Long before him.

"The great work is accomplished."

Morax clapped his hands, which had gathered divine power, and pointed toward the position of the Shi Long's eyes.

A streak of Jin Guang appeared.

Carving the dragon and dotting the eyes!

The moment Morax dotted its eyes, wind and clouds surged, and the elemental power within the earth veins was crazily drawn out to help Long Wang take form.

Above the sky, the originally bright blue expanse suddenly darkened, and rolling, muffled thunder surged.

Long Wang takes human form; the heavenly tribulation gradually rises.

"Roar!!!"

After the dense peals of thunder, the heavenly tribulation disperses, and a pair of giant eyes slowly opens.

"I was born of Heaven and Earth; I am Ruo Tuo, the Rock Dragon King!"

A voice like a great bell echoed around, and the massive body of Long Wang Ruo Tuo began to gradually shrink.

It slowly took the shape of a burly man.

Morax smiled and extended his hand.

"Hello, Long Wang Ruo Tuo."
