Chapter 121: If He Were Absent, Dragon Valley Would Surely Be Destroyed

Bu Lai En can sense Lu Zheng's greatness.

Although the human before him is only a mere level 200, the feeling he gives is even stronger than facing a True God-level giant dragon!

Moreover, given the other's attitude, after some thought he decided to go report.

"May I know what name you go by, sir?"

"Lu Zheng!"

Lu Zheng did not conceal anything and said directly.

"Please wait here; I'm going to report to His Majesty the Dragon Emperor right away!"

Bu Lai En needed to first enter the real Dragon Valley instance, so that trip took a little over an hour.

When he returned, a lower-tier True God-level giant dragon was by his side.

"Greetings, Mr. Lu Zheng. I am Ma Ge Nu Si, son of the Dragon Emperor, and I am here to lead you into the true Dragon Valley!"

Giant dragons are a proud lot.

They hold arrogance and prejudice toward other races.

Before meeting Lu Zheng, Ma Ge Nu Si did not care much about a human.

But after seeing Lu Zheng, his attitude became very friendly, even somewhat respectful.

The Giant Dragon Friendship Medal gave it a basic fondness for Lu Zheng, providing a basis to acknowledge his strength; thereafter, upon discovering Lu Zheng's immense power, it naturally set aside its contempt.

Moreover, since the other might be the savior of the dragon race, the respect was reasonable.

Lu Zheng nodded in agreement, maintaining his aloof persona, and followed Ma Ge Nu Si into the interior of the true Dragon Valley.

True God-level giant dragons can transform into human form.

Outside a magnificent palace, Ma Ge Nu Si transformed into a blue-eyed, golden-haired youth and led Lu Zheng into the palace.

Fei Ni Ke Si sat upon a golden throne, his attire identical to that of certain Western kings.

Once inside, Fei Ni Ke Si dismissed everyone else.

Only Lu Zheng and he remained for a private conversation.

"Lu Zheng, the energy within you is indeed extremely powerful, almost on the same tier as mine, yet your level is only two hundred. I must admit, you are very mysterious, and I cannot discern your exact strength.

I have developed a keen interest in what you have spoken of.

Please elaborate in detail!"

Lu Zheng did not beat around the bush and spoke straight away:

"The former Golden Dragon God Ya Li Ke Si was gravely wounded in that battle, retreated to the Dragon Tomb to recuperate, but now not only has not healed, it is instead controlled by demonic Qi.

Yet before that, it made a final effort to seal itself within the tomb.

However, within two months the sealing power became insufficient to keep it sealed; it could break the seal at any moment and slaughter every creature it sees!

Two days ago I received orders to rescue the Dragon God; only I can accomplish this! Time is precious—under two months it will inevitably break the seal, perhaps today or tomorrow.

I need you to answer me now; if you do not let me enter, I will leave immediately and wait outside the Dragon Valley.

Only then, the Dragon Valley would cease to exist!"

He acted very domineering, showing no sign of merely undertaking a task, as if his arrival was a rebirth granted by heaven to the dragon race of the Dragon Valley.

If he were absent, the Dragon Valley would inevitably be destroyed!

Such lofty, overbearing tone and attitude, Fei Ni Ke Si had not felt in a long time.

And just half a minute later, Lu Zheng sighed, shook his head, turned around, and it looked like he was about to leave.

Just over half a minute later, Lu Zheng let out a sigh, shook his head, turned, and seemed about to leave.

"Wait! I promised!"

Fei Ni Ke Si had been observing the changes in the Dragon Tomb during this time.

Inside, it had essentially become a place like a demon realm.

Many giant dragon corpses have turned into demon-corrupted undead, constantly assaulting the tomb's seal. Among them are even Mid God-level demon-corrupted undead dragons!

One month ago, he tried to contact an Upper God of the divine realm, but was told that the other party had just fought a great battle with an Evil God, suffered heavy injuries, and could not possibly come down to help.

A month ago he tried to contact a high-ranking deity of the divine realm, only to be told that the deity had just battled an Evil God, was severely wounded, and could not possibly descend to assist.

Lu Zheng's appearance was like the last lifeline: "I can allow you to enter, but unless the demonic Qi completely dissipates, I will not open the seal to let you out."

Fei Ni Ke Si concluded.

Lu Zheng nodded at the words and then said:

"You seem to understand the situation inside; tell me, I have only received the guidance to redeem Ya Li Ke Si."

"Inside it's very dangerous. I don't know the current state of the Golden Dragon God, but under his influence inside, all the death dragons have revived, turning into demonic undead dragons, and there are even beings of Mid God level."

"It is extremely dangerous inside. I do not know the current state of the Golden Dragon God, but under its influence, all dead giant dragons have revived as demon-corrupted undead dragons, even some at Mid God level.

If you enter, it will certainly be very perilous."

Lu Zheng's eyes lit up.

"You mean there are a large number of half-god-level or higher monsters inside?"

Fei Ni Ke Si, seeing his demeanor, said puzzledly:

"Yes, it's dangerous, but why do I see you looking rather excited?"

There are plenty of high-level monsters gathered in large numbers; with so many monsters, he should be able to raise at least two of his divine pets to level 500.

A massive gathering of high-level monsters is no small matter; with so many, he should be able to raise at least two divine pets to level five hundred.

Specifically, to raise Qilin and Pixiu!

Thus his chances of finally completing the Job Change Quest increase.

However, Lu Zheng did not directly explain his own situation.

He smiled and said: "My point is, with these demons dispersing and absorbing the demonic Qi within the Dragon God, it benefits my rescue of the Dragon God. No time to waste, Your Majesty, open the passage to the Dragon Tomb for me!"

Fei Ni Ke Si, upon hearing this, thought the words were reasonable, but remained doubtful about whether Lu Zheng could achieve redemption.

The Dragon Tomb lies at the deepest part of Dragon Valley, within a cavern in the gorge.

The massive opening, over five hundred meters high, resembled the gaping maw of a colossal man‑eating beast! Before the light screen, Fei Ni Ke Si spoke:

"Stick to it, it's only for an instant; don't resist, and you can go in!"

Lu Zheng did as instructed, and the next moment, suddenly felt a pull emanating from above the light screen.

The person vanished.

Regaining his senses, a surge of dense demonic energy flooded the surroundings.

The Swallow Heaven Demon Body passive skill activated, granting Lu Zheng a further increase in experience accumulation.

The concentration of demonic energy here surpasses that of the Abyss Demon Realm.

Lu Zheng was not particularly surprised by this.

The Dragon Tomb now, to some extent, counts as a Main God‑level evil spirit; the demonic Golden Dragon God Ya Li Ke Si's divine realm is a Main God's realm, where the energy is naturally extremely dense.

At this moment, Lu Zheng had already stored the "Great Dragon Friendship Medal."

Moreover, he donned the "Dragon Slayer Warrior" purple‑gold title, instantly gaining 50% of the Great Dragon's base aggro.

At once, a half‑god‑level demonic corrupted undead dragon charged forward.

Lu Zheng casually flung a Thunder Chain, seizing control while reducing its HP to a mere sliver.

He released the restraint, and Qilin delivered the finishing blow!

At over three hundred levels, a single half‑god can only raise Qilin by one level.

That's fine; a brief sense shows there are at least a thousand half‑gods here! The upgrade feast begins!! (End of chapter)
