Chapter 377: Golden Talent: True Dragon Descendant!

Overseas, Lu Yang stood facing the wind, his spirit relaxed and his mind at ease.

With the 【Linglong Heart】 active, he could clearly feel that Heaven and Earth had now turned their gaze upon him, filled with intense malice.

This was normal.

After all, he had just transferred all of Tian Qiu's accumulated killing moves onto Heaven and Earth, essentially delivering a vicious blow to Heaven and Earth without warning.

'Pity, but what can you do to me?'

Lu Yang was truly fearless; after all, 【With the World】 directly bound him to Heaven and Earth, so no matter how angry they were, Heaven and Earth had to stand on his side.

Just like now.

Lu Yang shifted his gaze to look at Tian Qiu not far away, only to see that this Crown Prince of the Long Gong had now completely fallen into madness, his eyes filled with bloodshot veins.

An undeserved disaster!

For him, it truly was an undeserved disaster; a cultivator from beyond the heavens appeared out of nowhere, a duel ensued, and the result was that his own fate was completely scattered!

To be honest, this result was worse than being beaten half to death; at least the Long Gong possessed countless treasures, and even if his dharma body was pulverized into dust, there would be a way to restore it, but once fate and merit are gone, they are gone! Even if they could be restored, it wouldn't be fast enough to catch up with this short window of a few decades to seek gold!

Thinking of this, Tian Qiu instantly lost his mind.

Looking at Lu Yang again, only one thought remained in his heart:

"Kill!"

The anger in Tian Qiu's heart at this moment was truly so vast that even pouring out all the waters of the four seas would not be enough to wash it away; his path was cut off, and if he did not kill this person, he could not quell the hatred in his heart!

However, seeing this, Lu Yang remained very calm.

The circular light formed by 【With the World】 hung behind his head, from which countless spiderweb-like light patterns emerged, binding him and this realm of Heaven and Earth tightly together.

"Boom!"

The next second, Tian Qiu once again summoned that hundred million 【Mystic River Heavy Waters】, merging them into a wave that pressed down on Lu Yang, making Lu Yang unable to help but whistle in admiration.

'So strong, too strong...'

Lu Yang knew clearly that he could not block this 【Mystic River Heavy Water】.

If he truly fought head-on, he could at most use 【Li Jie Bo】 combined with 【Sword Intent】 to briefly resist it, but if time dragged on, he would definitely end up defeated in the end.

'... Is this the True Dharma?'

He had heard Elder You tell him before that among the four great powers, there were Dao arts specifically prepared for those who had fully completed Foundation Establishment, which could only be cultivated with hope if refined using the Golden Nature.

These were called 【True Dharma】.

'Similar True Dharmas actually exist in Hong Yun's and Master Chongguang's memories.'

'However, such True Dharmas often require customization; they must match the fruit position pointed to by the Golden Nature to be usable, so they are completely useless to me.'

After all, he had not yet refined the Golden Nature.

'I didn't expect Tian Qiu to possess such a True Dharma.'

'Though unexpected, it is also reasonable; after all, the True Dragon clan does have deep foundations, not to mention he has a True Lord uncle as a backer.'

"Tsk, what True Dharma."

Thinking of this, Lu Yang couldn't help but curse loudly: "A Dao art customized by a True Lord; this isn't a duel, it's clearly a battle of backers!"

After cursing angrily, Lu Yang laughed again.

As expected of this broken place; the intensity is on a completely different level from the Seven Luminaries Heaven.

This is the right flavor!

Lu Yang sighed in his heart, but his body did not dodge or evade; he let the 【Mystic River Heavy Water】 summoned by Tian Qiu crash down, then once again activated 【With the World】.

Damage Transfer!

"Boom!"

Another thunderclap rang out from the sky above, as if someone was crying out in pain; in an instant, Lu Yang clearly sensed that the gaze from Heaven and Earth had intensified.

"Beast!"

On the other side, Tian Qiu also clearly noticed something was wrong; a thread of clarity appeared in his eyes, which had almost been clouded by anger, but what remained was even more frustration:

"If you have the guts, don't use that technique!"

Disgusting!

Tian Qiu had lived for so long and considered himself well-traveled, but this was the first time he had encountered such a disgusting technique, standing out for being inhumane.

"Just the barking of a defeated dog."

Lu Yang ignored this completely, merely letting out a cold smile; 【With the World】 was strong because it bound him to Heaven and Earth, but it was also limited by Heaven and Earth and could not be used as a killing move.

However, if combined with his other methods, it would be different.

'Fate-Reading Divination!'

【Event: Slay Tian Qiu】

【Great Auspicious: This person's fate has ended, marked for sale】 【Great Auspicious: This person's fate has ended, marked for sale】

【Great Auspicious: This person's fate has ended, marked for sale】

'As expected!'

A sinister smile appeared on Lu Yang's face; whether 【Fate-Reading Divination】 could draw a good lot depended not only on himself but also on the strength of his target's fortune.

And now, Tian Qiu's fate and merit were completely scattered.

Therefore, for any event targeting him, no matter how 【Fate-Reading Divination】 drew, it would be Great Auspicious!

'The destiny to slay Tian Qiu is set!'

Almost simultaneously, Tian Qiu felt a jump in his brow, and an unprecedented sense of crisis swept over his heart, dispelling all his anger and frustration.

'If we continue fighting... there may be a danger to my life!'

Thinking of this, Tian Qiu dared not stay any longer; he directly plunged headlong toward the sea surface below, wanting to escape via water teleportation, but seeing this, Lu Yang merely casually formed a spell, circulating 【Holding True Qi】 to its extreme, transforming it into a blood-filled giant mouth that fell toward Tian Qiu.

Seeing this, Tian Qiu felt slightly relieved.

"This trick won't kill me!"

Once I escape back to the Long Gong, I'll be as stable as Mount Taishan. As for the loss of fate and merit, I can find a way to recover it later. As long as I don't die, everything is negotiable.

Just then.

"Boom!"

A deafening roar interrupted Tian Qiu's thoughts. He saw that beneath the sea surface where he was falling, an immense, scorching heat was surging out wildly!

【Subterranean Fire Sea Heart Furnace】!

This underwater volcano, meticulously crafted by Suo Huan, had been damaged previously by the Chaos Spirit and Chaos Ying, and was further affected by the recent magical duel between Lu Yang and Tian Qiu.

Now, it had erupted!

The fire evil qi nurtured in the depths of the sea for countless years exploded all at once. By sheer coincidence, it completely engulfed Tian Qiu, who was trying to dive into the seabed!

In an instant, the entire sea surface was shrouded in mist steamed up by the fire evil qi. Terrifying heat waves, mixed with golden and red light, flowed over Tian Qiu's dragon body. Wherever they passed, his scales turned scorched red and cracked. Fire snakes drilled beneath his flesh and into his internal organs.

"Ah?"

Tian Qiu hadn't even had time to react. His body was already pierced through by the fire evil qi; his scales and flesh melted together, leaving only half of his dragon head as a skeleton.

Yet even so, Tian Qiu's thoughts did not hesitate for a fraction.

"Keep running!"

Although the fire evil qi was formidable, it couldn't kill him. At worst, it would just add injury to injury. As long as he successfully escaped back to the Long Gong, there were countless methods to recover.

Thinking this, he immediately forced his magic power to surge, preparing to flee.

But the next second, his magic power suddenly stalled. His techniques, which had been operating smoothly, went berserk instantly, leaving him frozen in place, bewildered!

"Is this... qi deviation?"

"Me? Qi deviation???"

In that moment, Tian Qiu felt it was utterly absurd. He, a Foundation Establishment perfection expert with hopes of seeking the Golden Core, could actually suffer qi deviation? It was the greatest joke under heaven!

However, he had no chance to ponder further.

Because Lu Yang's technique had already struck. The timing was perfect, hitting at the very instant when Tian Qiu, suffering from qi deviation, was completely defenseless!

【True Qi Containment】!

In an instant, the technique's brilliance resembled a blood-filled maw, directly swallowing the Crown Prince of the Long Gong. All that remained at the spot was a cry of shocked rage:

This is not a failure of combat!

"I refuse to accept it!"

Tian Qiu tried to make a last stand, even detonating his dragon body, but it was too late. His towering dragon form crumbled to dust under Lu Yang's technique.

"Boom!"

Amidst the rolling, colorful mist, a beam of Jin Guang was silently drawn into Lu Yang's sleeve. He then used the 【Book of Hundred Lives】 to consume it completely, leaving nothing behind.

Tian Qiu's Golden Nature!

【Calculating experience for "Tian Qiu"...】

【You are the second son of the Dragon Lord, a descendant of the True Dragon, once a noble species of heaven and earth. Though times have changed and you no longer enjoy the favor of heaven and earth, your past foundations remain.】

Soon, golden light bloomed on the panel of the 【Book of Hundred Lives】!

【You have obtained the Golden Talent: True Dragon Descendant】

【True Dragon Descendant: Though you possess a human body, you are truly a dragon descendant. You are naturally favored by the Water Realm's attainment, embodying the form of the True Dragon. You can wield all the innate abilities of the True Dragon.】

"..."

Looking at this golden talent, Lu Yang's expression gradually turned strange.

So, does that mean I am a True Dragon too?

Thinking this, he suddenly raised his head and looked toward the Long Gong. The Dragon Lord is absent, the Crown Prince is dead. Long Gong's assets... I should have a share too!
