Chapter 873: Secondary Ancestral Gold Dragon (First update, requesting everything)

Very quickly, Li Zhangsheng explained the rules and the reward and punishment system here to the newly arrived gold dragons.

Upon hearing that they could obtain a large amount of treasure by performing well, the gold dragons weighed it in their hearts and quickly abandoned the idea of coming into conflict with the Five-Colored Dragons.

After all, according to the rules set by Li Zhangsheng, even if they defeated the Five-Colored Dragons, they could not plunder their wealth.

Although the cost was a bit high, the output of the dragons was significantly higher; their dragon saliva, shed Dragon Scales, and cultivated Dragon Whisker Grass alone far exceeded the investment, not to mention the Dragon Eggs.

At this moment, intense energy fluctuations condensed outside; clearly, Li Haoqiong's Golden Bird had already consumed the Destiny Mysterious Bird Spirit Essence and was currently in the midst of evolution.

Evolution was certain, but it was unknown whether it could take advantage of the momentum to break through to the Demon King level. Once it successfully broke through, with the might of a Demi-God Beast, Li Haoqiong's combat power would likely be comparable to a Senior Pseudo-King.

"Hermes, come out with me!"

Li Zhangsheng's heart stirred, and he called Hermes out of the Dragon Lair. He had already collected the Ancestral Gold Dragon Spirit Essence for Hermes's evolution, and since Hermes had already reached the critical point of the Lord level, he naturally would not continue to hide it.

As for why he did not let Hermes break through in the Dragon Lair, it was mainly because there were too many gold dragons; once they discovered this was Ancestral Gold Dragon Spirit Essence, it would easily trigger unnecessary riots.

Outside the Dragon Lair, the Golden Bird, which looked like it was cast from gold, was lying on the ground, wrapped in dazzling golden light. The Jianhua Bai Guang spread rapidly, gradually enveloping its entire body, causing its momentum to climb step by step.

Li Zhangsheng specifically brought Hermes to the outskirts of Qingyun Mountain before stopping.

Under Hermes's Dragon Might, the nearby wild Spirit Beasts fled in panic, scurrying away, leaving the surroundings silent.

Li Zhangsheng took out three Jade Ceramic Jars of Ancestral Gold Dragon Spirit Essence. Excitement flashed in Hermes's eyes; it impatiently opened its dragon mouth, and a powerful suction force was generated. The Spirit Essence in the Jade Ceramic Jars turned into streaks of blood and was quickly devoured by Hermes.

After a few breaths, Hermes's expression changed slightly, and it hurriedly lay on the ground. While enduring the pain brought by the transformation, it worked hard to digest the Ancestral Gold Dragon Spirit Essence, rapidly increasing its Bloodline concentration.

During this process, Hermes's entire body bloomed with golden light, reflecting the Golden Bird deep within Qingyun Mountain.

Very quickly, the Jianhua Bai Guang began to appear on Hermes's skin and spread rapidly. In just a few breaths, Hermes's massive dragon body was completely bathed in the Jianhua Bai Guang.

During this process, Hermes's body size surged rapidly, and by the time it stabilized, its body length was clearly over forty meters.

At the same time, in Hermes's Consciousness Sea, its consciousness was rapidly devouring the phantom of the Ancestral Gold Dragon, and it began to receive a large amount of fragmented yet vast inherited information.

Very quickly, Hermes completed its evolution and officially evolved into a Secondary Ancestral Gold Dragon.

Compared to the Secondary Ancestral Black Dragon, the Secondary Ancestral Gold Dragon had a higher race and stronger combat power.

Of course, even if Hermes broke through to the Demon King level, the Secondary Ancestral Black Dragon still possessed an advantage in minor realms. Coupled with the fact that it had been trained by Li Zhangsheng for more than a year, it would take at least some time for the Secondary Ancestral Gold Dragon to surpass it.

Just as Li Zhangsheng had expected, Hermes did not wake up immediately after evolving and began to attempt to break through to the Demon King level.

Li Zhangsheng waited quietly. For him, even if Hermes failed the breakthrough, his mood would not worsen; after all, the current Hermes was already a Demi-God Beast and would eventually be able to advance to the Demon King level.

If the breakthrough succeeded, Li Zhangsheng would also be happy, but it would not reach the point of ecstasy, because the number of Demon King level Demon Pets in his hands already exceeded two digits, and Hermes's breakthrough would just be icing on the cake.

Roar~

Not long after waiting, wisps of golden energy appeared on Hermes's dragon body.

Unlike ordinary Gold Element energy, this golden energy was more condensed and Pure, and also more powerful; this was Profound Mystery Energy.

From the current situation, Hermes had already broken the threshold of the Mystery, but had not yet completely shattered it.

Only by completely shattering the entire threshold of the Mystery could Hermes become a Demon King level Demon Pet; otherwise, it could only add the word "Pseudo".

Under the tempering of the Gold Element Profound Mystery Energy, Hermes's already abnormally massive dragon body became even more robust and was growing at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Very quickly, Hermes's body length approached sixty meters, and only then did the growth rate slow down.

During this process, the Gold Element Profound Mystery Energy on Hermes's skin became increasingly Vigorous, rotating rapidly around Hermes and faintly forming a thin golden film.

This was an incomplete Profound Mystery Energy Guard, which was much weaker compared to a true Profound Mystery Energy Guard.

Not long after, Li Zhangsheng's ears twitched, and he faintly heard the sound of a portal shattering in the void, which made him smile.

He had heard this kind of sound many times, so he could naturally distinguish it. This was the sound produced by the shattering of the threshold of the Mystery, representing that Hermes had successfully broken the threshold of the Mystery and officially become a Demon King level Demon Pet.

It was also at this time that Hermes's body length surged again, officially exceeding sixty meters.

The current Hermes was about the same length as the Secondary Ancestral Black Dragon, but the Secondary Ancestral Black Dragon was on the thin side, while Hermes appeared much stronger.

It was not until this moment that Hermes opened its Longyan, looked up to the sky, and let out a Vigorous and domineering Dragon Roar. The clouds in the sky were affected and were Annihilated and dissipated.

This place was not very far from the Temporary Dragon Lair. The dragons in the lair, especially the gold dragons, felt as if they were carrying a great mountain the moment they heard this domineering Dragon Roar; their hearts were filled with panic, and their bodies became visibly stiff.

This was the Bloodline suppression of a dragon!

Even Xi'er and Yasna were significantly affected.

Only the Secondary Ancestral Black Dragon present was unaffected; instead, it took the initiative to protect the few dragon hatchlings to prevent them from developing psychological trauma.

Chirp~

Suddenly, an unusually loud cry rang out outside the Dragon Lair, as if responding to the Secondary Ancestral Gold Dragon, yet it was not a bit weaker in terms of momentum.

"It seems Second Uncle's Golden Bird has also broken through!"

The smile on Li Zhangsheng's face became even brighter. The stronger his Second Uncle's strength was, the less he would have to worry about family matters, and he could be a very good hands-off manager.

"Alright, Hermes, stop calling, lest you scare those hatchlings!"

Seeing that Hermes wanted to respond to the other party, Li Zhangsheng immediately stopped it. Compared to adult dragons, hatchlings were much more fragile.
