Chapter 255: Black and White, Dragon King and Dragon Egg

【00:00:26】

Accompanied by two loud booms of something collapsing heavily, Qin Chuan's face showed a pained expression.

After repelling Dala Saiyi in the real world and staying at Zengmu Ansha, he took the opportunity to clear many A-level dungeons, barely managing to push his Time Stop to 44 seconds.

In just a moment, it directly consumed 18 seconds.

As expected of a Legendary tier, terrifying indeed.

He couldn't help but glance again at the terrifying giant dragon lying before him, its massive form like two mountain peaks, stretching over a kilometer long.

Before it, he felt as tiny as an ant.

Conquering an S-rank secret realm is far harder than an A-rank one.

He and Yue Li bypassed large numbers of outer-area enemies whose strength reached Epic tier, and after venturing deeper into the secret realm they encountered the White Dragon King Te li yi na.

Thinking they could take down the two targets in order, the two let out a sigh of relief—then they saw this clearly female dragon king raise its head and summon the Black Dragon King Te ke lei suo.

Facing two Legendary-tier targets at once would already be bad enough; what's more absurd is that these two Legendary-tier targets seem able to buff each other.

Not daring to let the opponent strike first, Qin Chuan unhesitatingly activated Time Stop.

A full eighteen seconds.

With Silver Horn's defense-reducing effect still active, Shui Hua stacked hundreds of water-flow marks during Time Stop, used Heavenly Water Clarify to dispel all buffs, then unleashed Severing Void Haze Flow Slash.

Ice Cream likewise contributed a significant amount of output in this process.

Even so, they only managed to kill the White Dragon King.

The Black Dragon King had more HP than the White Dragon King; in the end, Silver Horn landed a third-degree extermination hit, and thanks to its 25% lost-HP execute damage, they finally managed to kill it.

The power of the Legendary tier is terrifying indeed.

In reality, Qin Chuan's extraordinary value equals the sum of his three spirit beasts, yet he still needs to activate Spirit Descent to stand a chance against Dala Saiyi; in the Dream World, relying solely on one Epic-tier and two Hall-tier spirit beasts makes slaying a Legendary tier still overly strained.

Fortunately, those precious 18 seconds were still worth it.

Looking at the pile of secret realm rewards on the ground, a black and a white dragon egg each about half a person tall lay at the very top, and Qin Chuan's face broke into a relieved smile.

Yue Li, who had been drawing the attention of other secret realm spirit beasts to prevent those Epic-tier grunts from interfering with Qin Chuan's fight, rushed over upon seeing the eggs, her face breaking into a bright smile as she exclaimed, "Success!"

"Mm." Qin Chuan strode forward and hefted the heavy Black Dragon Egg.

This dragon egg was covered in black scales, but on the surface of those scales countless red points of light flickered, making it look mysterious and powerful.

Seeing its color close to his own, Silver Horn couldn't help but come closer to examine the Black Dragon Egg.

"Silver Horn, can you sense any dark-element power?" Qin Chuan asked with a smile.

Silver Horn sensed around and gave a slight shake of the head.

Although it is black, this dragon egg does not contain the attribute power it is familiar with.

"The spirit beast hatched from a Black Dragon Egg is the Black Dragon King's initial form." Yue Li said softly, "Its attribute should be the same as the Black Dragon King's."

"This…" Qin Chuan's mouth twitched.

He certainly knew that.

The problem is, he doesn't know the Black Dragon King's attribute!

If the Black Dragon King made a move, he could tell its attribute.

But could he dare let the Black Dragon King act?

Seeing Qin Chuan's hesitant appearance, Yue Li gave him a strange look, raised her hand, and touched the White Dragon Egg beside him.

Like the Black Dragon Egg, the White Dragon Egg is also covered in a layer of scales; the scales are mainly white but dotted with countless gleaming gold points, dazzlingly unusual.

"Once they hatch, we should know what attribute they are." Yue Li's eyes held anticipation and delight, "Let's first gather the other resources."

"Mm!" With Yue Li's reminder, Qin Chuan also realized. The already-cleared secret realm could collapse at any moment, so resources must not be wasted.

Quickly gathering all the resources, Qin Chuan and Yue Li each held a dragon egg.

In the next instant, the two of them and their six contracted spirit beasts were simultaneously teleported away.

Outside the Black-White Dragon Nest, the number of onlooking players was clearly several times greater than when Qin Chuan and Yue Li had entered the secret realm.

After learning that the two had begun conquering an S-rank secret realm, nearby players rushed over immediately, wanting to see with their own eyes the result of this first S-rank secret realm conquest in the Dream World.

Following the pattern of those lower-level secret realms, the weakest spirit beasts in an S-rank secret realm are all Epic-tier existences, while Qin Chuan and Yue Li together only have one Epic-tier spirit beast.

Moreover, it's an Epic-tier that cannot be leveled up, stuck at level 40.

This is a lopsided conquest.

Yet many players still had confidence in the two.

After all, the two have already accomplished too many astonishing things in the past.

The moment the two figures were teleported out, the crowd erupted in an uproar.

"They're out!"

"I said Luo and Yue Li would definitely clear the S-rank secret realm!"

"Not necessarily; this time is too short—maybe they failed the conquest and retreated."

"Don't say that; it really is possible."

"…"

The onlooking players chattered in confusion, but some sharp-eyed ones had already seen the black and white eggs they were holding, associated them with the special reward of the Black-White Dragon Nest, and their pupils contracted violently.

Soon, as the space-time rift slowly closed, all the arguments settled.

S-rank 2-star secret realm Black-White Dragon Nest, conquered! Countless gasps and cheers rose and fell across the wilderness; the news was first sent to the server-wide channel, informing countless players who had been following this battle.

The whole server shook! —

In a certain area of the Dream World, Zephina, who had attempted to conquer an A-rank 1-star secret realm together with the four elite players of the Silver Dagger Guild and ultimately failed, stared at the server-wide channel flooding with frenetic messages, and for a moment fell silent.

She thought that after breaking through to Hall tier, she at least would be on the same level as Luo, if not catching up to him.

Little did she expect, the more she pursued, the more hopeless she felt.

"Otherwise… I'll strip naked, tie myself up with gift ribbons, hide in a gift box, and then you give me to Luo as a partner?" Oli Er Jia appeared beside Zefeina, lowered her head and glanced at the peaks blocking her view of her toes, seriously considering whether this could work.

"Smack!"

Zefeina slapped the girl on the back of the head, turned to look at the guild members behind her who were stifling laughter and standing ready, and said, "All-out assault on the B-rank 5-star secret realm!"

"If one Hall-of-Fame player isn't enough to conquer an A-rank secret realm…"—

"Then give me five Hall-of-Fame players!"

Long Ji glared at the Dragon Gate No. 1 members before him, roared, "Luo has already conquered an S-rank secret realm—what about us?"

"We can't even beat an A-rank!"

"Wouldn't that be embarrassing?"

The Dragon Gate No. 1 guild members stood ramrod straight, each one silent.

Although Luo counts as one of our own.

But the Special Affairs Group has so many members that falling behind is one thing; this time they're completely left in the dust, which is more than anyone can bear.

"B-rank 5-star secret realms—each assault team must clear three per dream‑day!" Long Ji barked, "This is the mission; those who don't complete it will be punished under the Group's management regulations."

Everyone's faces fell; without a word, they scattered and rushed toward the nearest secret realm.
