Chapter 808: Chapter 802: The Legacy of Fortuitous Circumstance
“`
“Senior, are you referring to the esteemed Time Candle Dragon when you mention Lord Candle Dragon?” Lilith Hoyle asked with a grave expression, a ridiculous idea suddenly surfacing in her mind.
Could it be, could her most cherished disciple actually be the transmigration of the Time Candle Dragon?
But that’s scientifically impossible and makes no sense at all!
The supremely arrogant Time Candle Dragon possesses eternal time, never aging with the years, and even growing stronger.
Even if faced with unimaginable foes and suffering grievous wounds, it can travel through the river of time to escape and heal.
Such a proud and perfect eternal being would never choose to transmigrate into a human.
At least, Lilith Hoyle could not think of any reason why the Time Candle Dragon would reincarnate as a human.
Could it really covet the short lifespan of humans, their weak flesh, and the suffering of birth, aging, sickness, and death?
“Yes, do you have any questions?” the Sea-saving Turtle looked at David Jones, speaking in a gentle tone.
In its eyes, a mere Lunar Realm powerhouse couldn’t stir up any trouble, and even with the support of a newly advanced Class IX Immortal behind Lilith Hoyle, it was confident that it could suppress anything with the power of the Dragon Palace.
Had it not been to save face for David Jones, it wouldn’t have bothered to answer Lilith Hoyle’s question.
“Is Lord Candle Dragon still in the Candle Dragon Palace, and what’s the deal with entrusting me with everything in the palace? Will there be any price to pay?” David Jones asked.
The presence of the Time Law within the Candle Dragon Palace was just Doctor Jettel’s hypothesis. If Time Candle Dragon were to assist, wouldn’t Loona’s evolution into a Time-based Pet become a simple task?
Furthermore, should he manage to acquire the Dragon Palace’s treasure, resolving the issue of a lack of top-grade resources, becoming a Class IX Immortal in the future would be virtually guaranteed!
However, David Jones felt that nothing good ever comes without a reason.
The Sea-saving Turtle’s eyes revealed a hint of reminiscence, “Tens of thousands of years ago, when the demon tides descended, Lord Candle Dragon and Lord Dragon God suppressed the tides and then went to the Divine Realm to fight the Demon Gods, instructing me to wait here for the master of the God Treasure Iron.”
“As for why I’m the one waiting here, it’s purely because I suffered an incurable serious injury in that great battle. My strength plummeted to the Immortal Level, and even my lifespan has been greatly depleted.”
“Moreover, very few in the Dragon Palace are capable of suppressing the Dead Ghost Demon King. In order to reduce the casualties within the palace, I had to exchange my life for another, using the long passage of time to erode the core essence of the Demon King.”
Hearing this, an expression of disappointment and surprise flitted across David Jones’s eyes.
If Lord Candle Dragon was gone, so be it. But for the Sea-saving Turtle to live tens of thousands of years with a depleted lifespan really showed the extraordinary longevity of its species.
However, more than these, what really concerned him was the Dead Ghost Demon King mentioned by the Turtle Minister.
“Senior, do you mean there’s a Semi-Fiend inside the Dragon Palace that’s still alive?” David Jones’s gaze grew somber.
“Don’t worry too much, with you here, this greatly weakened Semi-Fiend is already near death,” the Sea-saving Turtle said with a smile.
David Jones’s eyelids twitched as an ominous premonition suddenly welled up in his heart.
No wonder the Dragon Palace would give away everything for free; it turned out there was a terrifying Semi-Fiend included amongst its treasures!
“Senior, you flatter me. With my power, I wouldn’t pose a threat to the Dead Ghost Demon King.” David Jones exchanged a cautious look with his teacher.
“The Dead Ghost Demon King has already fallen into a near-death state. All you need to do is deliver a fatal blow with the Heavenly River Judgment Pearl Iron to utterly annihilate its core essence, and this is a great opportunity specially left for you by Lord Candle Dragon,” the Sea-saving Turtle said enviously.
“Senior, what do you mean by this great opportunity?”
“The Semi-Fiend is an abomination from beyond, and its annihilation will earn you the favor of Sapphire Star’s heavens and earth and the blessings of destiny. Killing the Dead Ghost Demon King will at least place you and your companions in an instant comprehension state, loosening the barriers of your levels, advancing you one small grade,” explained the Sea-saving Turtle.
Had it not been impossible for the Sea-saving Turtle to kill the Dead Ghost Demon King, it would never have wanted to hand over this deed of tens of thousands of years to David Jones.
To put it simply, over the years, the Sea-saving Turtle had already eroded 99.999% of the Dead Ghost Demon King’s power, leaving behind only a sliver of core essence that was difficult to eliminate, just waiting for David Jones to take it down and use it as nourishment for his growth.
“`
Hearing the possibility of instant comprehension advancement, Jeannie and Rainbow, along with Lolo, their eyes shone with excitement, and even David Jones couldn’t help but be tempted.
There was no helping it; the benefits of killing a Semi-Fiend were simply too vast.
Not to mention the advantages Jeannie would gain from completing the Trial of Removing Filth, Lolo was one step closer to representing the realm of a Class VIII Emperor!
“In that case, senior, how should I cooperate with you to kill the Dead Ghost Demon King?” David Jones asked, his eyes filled with anticipation as he looked at it.
The Sea-saving Turtle regarded Lilith Hoyle with some mistrust.
“The Dead Ghost Demon King is a matter of great importance; how about you leave first?”
David Jones’ eyes shifted slightly; compared to the unfamiliar Sea-saving Turtle, he now trusted his mentor a bit more.
Before he could speak, his mentor shook his head, staring straight at the Dragon Turtle.
“I can understand the senior’s caution, but I’m also concerned for my disciple’s safety.”
“So be it.”
Understanding David Jones’ attitude, the Sea-saving Turtle no longer insisted and started walking step by step towards the pool deep within the luxurious palace.
Boom!
A sound like thunder tearing through the sky erupted, and the Divine Dragon statue above the pool crumbled, revealing a swath of irregular, eerie black light.
The Sea-saving Turtle looked solemn as it opened its mouth and spat out a golden elixir covered with cracks.
“Buzz!” The Turtle Elixir spun wildly; waves of surging, crimson energy rapidly enveloped and diluted the black light.
As the origin of the Dead Ghost Demon King was damaged, the Turtle Minister’s shell patterns and color deepened on its back, and even its breath fell sharply, radiating an aura of twilight.
Witnessing this scene, David Jones’ eyes shifted, and he activated his Illusion-Piercing Eye, realizing that the Turtle Minister’s strength had fallen to upper-level Class VIII, and its previously mild injuries had turned severe.
“Senior, what is this?” David Jones asked with concern.
“Don’t mind it; this old one should have perished long ago,” the Sea-saving Turtle laughed heartily. “Being able to take the Dead Ghost Demon King with me is a fortunate event before death!”
“Bang, bang, bang!”
As the Golden Elixir completely disintegrated, the Turtle Minister’s shell cracked around the edges, and a half-Immortal power that had been accumulating for hundreds of thousands of years burst forth, causing the strange aura permeating over the black light to instantly dissipate by a large margin.
“Now, strike it with the Heavenly River Judgment Pearl Iron for the last blow,” the Sea-saving Turtle said with a voice aged beyond measure, yet with an undeniable undertone of mirth and relief.
David Jones paused, startled by such a generous attitude, and then quickly regained his composure.
“Lolo, let’s do this together!”
To fully unleash the power of God Treasure Iron, David Jones did not choose Jeannie, but instead joined forces with Lolo to unleash their strongest move: Innocent Stars.
“Boom!”
The stars circulated, and the Time Law of the Five Elements converged into one.
David Jones and Lolo exchanged a glance, both unleashing their Arcane Force, directing the mighty Innocent at the black light with great force.
As Innocent came into contact with the black light, a peculiar fluctuation attempted to burst forth.
However, it instantly collapsed under the combined suppression of the Candle Dragon Palace and the Dragon God, allowing Innocent to successfully annihilate the Demon God’s origin within the black light into nothingness.
