Chapter 1335

Beside its mouth were golden-yellow whiskers!

This ferocious beast, Su Yang knew all too well.

Even without the system, he could identify its identity!

Dragon!

Divine Dragon!

The totem of the Huaxia people!

Xiao Shan had told Su Yang that, as a technological world, Water Blue Star's divine beasts were most likely figments of its intelligent beings' imagination.

The civilization strongest on Water Blue Star was most likely to give birth to the divine beast from its own mythological legends.

The strongest civilization on Water Blue Star needed no explanation.

The Huaxia Federation was a civilization disguised as a nation, with a heritage of over five thousand years!

In strength, the Huaxia Federation boasted three Emperor-Rank Beast Tamer, one Sovereign-Rank Beast Tamer—its overall power absolutely towered over the entire planet.

And the Huaxia people had always considered themselves descendants of the Dragon.

Even though the Great Catastrophe had passed over three hundred years, and powerful ferocious beasts on Water Blue Star emerged endlessly… the Divine Dragon, this beast from ancient myth, remained the Huaxia people's totem, unchanged.

The probability of a God-Rank Dragon beast emerging was extremely high!

Su Yang merely glanced at the "Dragon's" God-Rank Low-Grade dazzling stats and instantly confirmed: this was the divine beast!

The divine beast that had turned the entire Water Blue Star ocean upside down!

On the system panel, its name was simple—Ying Long!

Ying Long?

Su Yang felt no hostility from the Ying Long.

The Ying Long seemed more interested in the frantic sea beasts fleeing around it…

Su Yang gathered courage and looked up at its back—sure enough, he saw a pair of tiny wings!

Those tiny wings, compared to the Ying Long's massive body, were minuscule, as if they had just grown.

Seeing those wings, Su Yang could confirm without doubt: this was unquestionably the Ying Long from Huaxia Federation mythology.

Ying Long first appeared in the Shanhaijing.

Before his transmigration, Su Yang had also read Honghuang-stream novels.

In Honghuang-stream novels, Zu Long, Yuan Feng, and Shi Thunder Qilin were born of Chaos and were the ancestors of the Dragon, Phoenix, and Thunder Qilin clans.

Yet in Huaxia Federation's orthodox mythology, Ying Long gave birth to Thunder Qilin and Phoenix—Ying Long was the true ancestor of both clans…

Ying Long's full name was Ying Shi Long, Ying De Long—a primordial deity embodying creation, generation, and destruction. In folk myths, it was said that Ying Long hatched Pangu from the dragon egg it laid.

Of course, the Ying Long before Su Yang could not compare to the Ying Long of Huaxia civilization's mythological tales.

Its strength reached God-Rank Low-Grade, and its growth potential was merely God-Rank High-Grade.

It was a bit underwhelming, but that didn't stop it from being Water Blue Star's first divine beast—and likely the only beast-god with God-Rank power!

The beast-god in the northwest probably hadn't reached God-Rank, or didn't currently possess God-Rank power!

Otherwise, it wouldn't have cowered in that tiny territory!

The Ying Long glanced at Su Yang, then ignored him entirely.

Perhaps it thought Su Yang had too little meat…

The Ying Long lowered its head, opened its massive mouth, and instantly a gale erupted—the entire sea churned into a vortex.

Then seawater converged into a vast river, flowing upward, dragging countless sea beasts and Hellblood Vine cuttings into the Ying Long's mouth!

Those poor sea beasts had no resistance at all.

Soon, not a single living sea beast remained in the nearby ocean.

Even sea beasts that had barely made it onto land but were still too close to the sea were sucked into the Ying Long's mouth.

The Ying Long burped, spewing out countless blood-red vines—hundreds of thousands of blood-red plants rained from the sky and crashed onto the ground!

It seemed it either disliked vegetarian food.

Or the Hellblood Vine cuttings didn't suit its taste—terrible flavor!

After spitting out the Hellblood Vine cuttings, the Ying Long stretched its long neck, then gradually vanished into the misty sea.

After devouring all nearby sea beasts… it left!

"General Su, was that the Divine Dragon just now?"

Just now, Xia Na had been beside Su Yang.

When Su Yang turned to look at the Ying Long, she couldn't help glancing too.

"Mm!"

Calling it the Divine Dragon wasn't wrong.

But it wasn't the divine beast from Huaxia Federation mythology.

It was probably less than three hundred years old—in divine beast terms, it was barely a child!

"Did it come to help us eliminate the sea beasts?"

"You're overthinking it—it just woke up and came for a feast!"

"Oh!"

Xia Na nodded.

No one knew whether she understood or not.

Su Yang watched the hundreds of thousands of Hellblood Vine cuttings the Ying Long had swallowed—now wriggling in sticky saliva, burrowing into the ground or slithering onto shore.

As if frightened.

The Ying Long had swallowed them whole and hadn't even digested them before spitting them out!

But this was fine, it at least reduced Su Yang's losses somewhat.

Yet as he gazed at the nearby wreckage-strewn coastline, Su Yang figured this place was no longer tenable.

Because even after the Yinglong departed, no more sea beasts appeared!

The sea beasts' sense of smell was no worse than that of land predators.

They must have smelled the Yinglong's scent and dared not approach this way anymore.

Su Yang released the Hellblood Vine Flower: "Sister Xue Li, clean this up—we're relocating to another spot to kill more sea beasts!"

The Hellblood Vine Flower, eyeing the saliva-coated offshoots, found them repulsive and absorbed them all: "Master, rest assured—I sense that beast's potential is lower than mine. Once I reach the Divine Rank, I'll kill it!"

"Uh… better not."

Su Yang didn't even think—he refused outright.

That Yinglong's potential was indeed lower than the Yinglong from Huaxia mythological legends.

But the Blue Planet is inherently barren—it's normal it couldn't birth stronger divine beasts.

Yet the Yinglong, as the strongest divine beast on the Blue Planet, is still a Huaxia totem.

Su Yang truly couldn't bring himself to kill it.

"General Su, that divine dragon may have already slaughtered all the sea beasts!" Xia Na said. "Maybe the sea beast tide has already subsided."

"Unlikely," Su Yang shook his head. "No matter how fearsome that Yinglong is, it couldn't possibly eat every single sea beast. The sea beasts will still flee inland out of fear. Its appearance here likely means this area had a massive concentration of sea beasts!"

This battlefield had been carefully selected by Su Yang based on intelligence from the Southeast Military Command—it was ideal for landing.

The shallow sea region fanned out toward the deep ocean, a terrain that naturally drew many sea beasts to swim here.

Su Yang estimated the Yinglong would roam the world's oceans, appearing only near coastlines with dense sea beast populations, devouring all beasts in one area before moving on to another to replenish its energy needs!

Just like it just did!

Seeing Xiao Shan said this Yinglong had only recently surged in power over the past few decades.

So, in regions with fewer sea beasts landing, the Yinglong might not even bother.

But these hypotheses needed Su Yang to verify next.

The method was simple: move to another location and see.
