Chapter 3676: Mutated Demon Dragon

"Both. The innate ones are innate seals that grow on the head; the ones formed later are called postnatal seals and grow on the body," the demon dragon explained to Ye Liuyun.

"You were born knowing all this?" Ye Liuyun asked, puzzled.

Ye Liuyun internally doubted that this demon dragon differed far too much from the ones he had seen before.

The demon dragon replied to Ye Liuyun: "During the months I was dormant, I have been studying this information, especially the data contained in my master's bloodline. That includes the inheritance of flame and Thunder and Lightning Power."

Ye Liuyun hadn't expected that this creature could obtain inheritance from a single drop of his own blood.

"What else have you learned?" he asked, fearing that the demon dragon had learned too much and that he would later be unable to keep it under control.

"The other things are methods to cultivate and enhance the Soul and bloodline, plus some information about the master's race; the rest I haven't learned, seems of little use to me!" the demon dragon explained to Ye Liuyun, its mouth crunching the demon man's Crystal Core with a crack!

Ye Liuyun thought for a moment, then released his Soul into the demon dragon's Sea of Consciousness, forcibly planting a Slave Seal on it.

He felt the demon dragon was too clever; if left unchecked, once it grew strong, there would be no way to control it.

Thus he would rather kill the demon dragon outright than let it exceed his control.

Unexpectedly, the demon dragon accepted the Slave Seal without any resistance, and Ye Liuyun then initiated a Soul Search.

However, after the Soul Search, he found the demon dragon had neither lied to him nor intended to betray him.

This demon dragon had indeed mutated, raising its intelligence.

This made Ye Liuyun feel embarrassed; he hadn't expected it was his own overthinking.

"I placed the Slave Seal on you to facilitate communication and locate you!" Ye Liuyun explained awkwardly.

"Alright!" the demon dragon nodded, then resumed devouring greedily, paying no mind to Ye Liuyun's sudden action.

Ye Liuyun finally relaxed, using Transmission Voice to inform the others that he had placed a Slave Seal on the demon dragon, reassuring them.

The group ceased their curiosity about the little creature and began busying themselves with cultivation.

Ye Liuyun began sorting the demon dragon's memories.

After receiving Ye Liuyun's bloodline, the demon dragon's intelligence surged, becoming almost human-like. Moreover, due to its species' traits, it had already distilled the inheritance within its bloodline before even being born.

Their world was originally a Demon Beast World, and what Ye Liuyun called "demon men" they referred to themselves as Beastfolk.

The "Demon Beasts" Ye Liuyun's group previously called were termed Beast Slaves by them. Usually, Beast Slaves must absolutely obey Beastfolk upon meeting them.

However, because these Demon Beasts have low intelligence, occasional Beast Slave devouring of Beastfolk occurs, only when the slave's strength utterly crushes or the Beastfolk is gravely wounded.

And Beastfolk's food is also Beast Slaves; among Beast Slaves, it's a matter of strength— the strong devour the weak, indistinguishable from feral beasts.

"It seems not much different from the Human Race!" Ye Liuyun thought this race only had slightly lower intelligence, but overall remained similar to humans.

At this moment the demon dragon had doubled in size, and its head was already nurturing its own Crystal Core, growing at a rate incomparable to humans.

The rapid growth made Ye Liuyun sigh; if the creature kept eating, it would soon reach adult size, and its realm would continuously advance as it consumed.

"From now on I'll call you Dragon Beast. Stay here and eat; I'll go fetch you some food!"

Ye Liuyun gave it a name for convenience, calling it Dragon Beast to distinguish it from other demon dragons.

The demon dragon didn't mind whether the name sounded odd; upon hearing Ye Liuyun say he'd find food, it readily agreed.

To know

Given its previous status, craving demon man's flesh was a luxury. Now Ye Liuyun was feeding it abundantly, which made it overjoyed.

"Are you sure you can keep eating like this without getting indigestion?" Ye Liuyun still asked.

"Never. Don't worry, master. Most of what I ingest I can refine and absorb!" Dragon Beast confirmed to Ye Liuyun.

Thus Ye Liuyun immediately placed it into his Space World, leading the group to rush toward the other formations imprisoning demon men.

At the same time, the Clone Puppet also facilitated communication between it and the captured demon men. Unexpectedly, Dragon Beast told those demon men that they were only being used as sparring partners, and after they recovered strength at the Altar, the demon men became obedient.

It turned out the demon men had previously believed that once the Clone Puppet defeated them, it would eat them raw, prompting their desperate resistance.

Now that they knew they were merely sparring partners, they felt they lost nothing and would even improve through training.

Seeing his newly subdued Dragon Beast, a few words quieted the demon men, and Ye Liuyun was somewhat surprised.

"At this rate, do we still need to fight the demon men?" Ye Liuyun mused.

To test his theory, Ye Liuyun entered a tribe, located its chief, bound him with a talisman, then released Dragon Beast to act as translator.

"Tell him we have the power to slaughter all the demon men here. Yet I don't wish to wage a slaughter; I want to give them a chance to survive and submit directly to me," Ye Liuyun instructed Dragon Beast.

Dragon Beast muttered a low growl. Having eaten a lot lately, its body had grown to the size of a small feral beast, and its voice had become much deeper.

However, after its translation, the demon man chief's eyes showed an incredulous expression. Ye Liuyun instantly understood that this demon man was defiant. His heart tightened; if they refused, he would truly have to continue killing.

But the demon man chief immediately let out a wailing howl toward Dragon Beast.

Dragon Beast told Ye Liuyun: "It doesn't believe you are stronger than them. It will send ten strongest demon men to duel you; if you lose, you must leave; if you win, they will agree to submit to you."

"Oh, does it keep its word? How can we guarantee they won't renege?" Ye Liuyun hadn't expected this outcome.

This time Dragon Beast didn't ask the chief and said directly, "Since it said so, it must be binding. If the master fears they might renege, I can sign a contract with them!"

"Fine, I agree. You handle the confirmation with them," Ye Liuyun immediately consented.

Then, after a brief discussion, Dragon Beast and the demon man chief each released their Souls, reaching out in the air to touch each other, thereby sealing the contract.
