The Strongest Dragon in the Era of Beast Taming

Upon hearing this divine name, a hint of surprise flashed in David Jones’s eyes.

Ever since the God Spirit had been willing to communicate telepathically, It had never introduced Its divine name or identity, even after forming the Holy Oath.

To this, David hadn’t asked too much.

After all, one’s arm couldn’t win against one’s thigh, and in the face of someone more powerful, titles were actually of little importance. All he needed to be sure of was that the God Spirit bore no ill will towards him.

Now that Cosmos was willing to reveal Its divine name, it signified that after undergoing the Tribulation and transformation, his potential had been recognized by the God Spirit, and perhaps their relationship could become even closer as a result.

“Correct, that is my divine name. When you ascend to the Divine Realm, you too will be able to leave your unique divine name within the Rule with God Power.”

Observing David’s radiant figure, sculpted as if by the heavens themselves, exuding robust vitality with his Golden Emperor Body, a trace of wistfulness and envy flickered in Cosmos’s eyes.

Compared to Beasts that required eons to grow, the Talent of human geniuses was indeed blessed by heaven, even enough to make an Eternal True God somewhat jealous.

It needed thousands of years of grueling cultivation to return to Immortality, and tens of thousands of years of trials and tribulations to return to the Eternal Realm, whereas humans only needed a few short centuries to ascend to the Divine Realm and become Immortal.

A few centuries were neither long nor short, merely the time necessary for the offspring of many legendary races to reach adulthood, yet within the generally short-lived humans, it could foster an existence of Immortality.

Moreover, at the Class VI King level, David’s foundation could already be called the first ever seen in the eternity of the human race, and even the Origin Emperor from ten thousand years ago, whom It had heard of, was outclassed by David.

With a Golden Emperor Body and Heavenly Arcane Star, such universally rare foundations, plus Its help, perhaps only a few decades would be needed for David to ignite his divine fire and ascend to Immortality before Its return.

But afraid David might become too arrogant and suffer mishaps in the presence of the powerful, Cosmos said gravely,

“Talent alone does not equate to absolute strength. While I’m in retreat, do not die at the hands of some trifling beings.”

David smiled in agreement, “In this world, powerful beings abound like carps crossing the river, countless. There’s the Dragon of Domination, who rivals God Spirits; Ultimate Emperors who can contend with Immortality; compared with these formidable races, my Talent is truly nothing special, at most a little more than others, barely considered exceptional in intellect.”

“A little more? Barely exceptional in intellect?”

Hearing David’s summary of his own Talent, Cosmos paused, stunned.

It wasn’t aware of what ‘Versailles’ meant, and It wasn’t sure whether David was speaking honestly from the heart or just maintaining modesty in front of It.

After all, the Dragon Species that were born with the abilities to contend with legendary fighters, reaching at least Immortal demi-God status as adults, and even having a certain chance to step into the realm of Eternal True Gods at their peak, were indeed terrifying.

Compared to the Dragon of Domination, David’s Talent was indeed ordinary.

Thus, Cosmos took him at his word and responded, “The Dragon of Domination is a rarity in this world, not even I could match up to it before ascending to Eternity. You should be more confident in yourself.”

David nodded slightly, modestly indicating he would continue to strive, then shifted the conversation to the topic he was most concerned about: his return home.

As if seeing through David’s thoughts, Cosmos said with a smile, “Rest assured, before I retreat, I will open up a space passage to the Flowery Kingdom to help you return to your homeland.”

Upon hearing this, David’s eyes flashed subtly, and he too smiled along with Cosmos, agreeing on a time to leave Umbral.

Having completed these tasks, he noticed a fiery glow emanating from beside him, accompanied by a distinct sound of swallowing.

David Jones’s brow furrowed slightly, and he activated the Nine Dragons Purple Gold Armor to cover his entire body, turning his head to look at the spirited Rossetti Lindwood, and said with a serious expression, “Do you find it pleasing to the eye?”

Rossetti Lindwood subconsciously nodded, then immediately realized something was amiss and opened her eyes wide to start praising her teacher’s physique, trying to muddle through the situation.

“Rebellious disciple, if you had focused all your energy on cultivation, you would have raised the Arcane Star to Class III by now!”

David Jones shook his head and flicked Rossetti Lindwood on the forehead, causing her to let out a cry of pain.

He then turned his attention to his pets that were staring at him, especially Rainbow, who had sustained some superficial wounds, and Daphne, who was enveloped in flames.

With the forging of the Flame Maza, Daphne’s innate flame seemed to have begun a positive mutation and even acquired a hint of the aura of the Destiny Flame.

[Flame Maza (Incubating)]: A Seven-turns heart core cultivated using the Pure Flames technique, can be further infused with powerful elixir soul and psychic power to increase its turns, enhancing the potential of the nurtured innate flame.

There is a high probability of condensing a Level VII Epic Pharmacy Flame (Fledgling Flame), and a slim chance of condensing a Level VIII Legendary Pharmacy Flame (Fledgling Flame).

Note: Activating the Fetus Breaking Fire Rune in the Pure Flames technique can interrupt the incubation of the Flame Maza prematurely, allowing it to emerge officially, but at the cost of reduced potential.

“Only at Seven-turns?” Disappointment flickered in David Jones’s eyes.

The so-called fledgling flame refers to a weak flame that can grow quickly with the nourishment of resources, possessing boundless potential.

Without sufficient pet resources, even a pharmacy flame fledgling with legendary potential could fall to a Level VII Epic or even a Level VI King Flame.

Of course, a genius pharmacist capable of crafting a legendary fledgling flame is one in a thousand years, and with the assistance of their family or sect, they would not lack the resources to nurture a pharmacy flame.

Even limited by his current power, David Jones still believed the Flame Maza, for which he and Daphne had exhausted a great amount of elixir soul and psychic power to incubate, could reach Eight-turns.

After all, the power of the Destiny Flame is infinite, in no way inferior to a legendary spirit flame. How could a Flame Maza, forged with Destiny Flame as an inducement, have too low of a number of turns?

But reality dealt David Jones a blow that was neither too big nor too small.

“Huff!” David Jones exhaled turbid air, suppressing the slight swelling in his heart.

A Level VII Epic pharmacy flame is a dream of legendary pharmacists, and even Audrey, who used the Myrtle Starfire forged from the Star Beast’s innate flame and the seven-star starlight, has only achieved an Epic pharmacy flame.

“It seems that nurturing a legendary pharmacy flame will require a great deal of elixir soul and time!”

David Jones hesitated for a moment before deciding to put aside the Flame Maza for now, shifting his focus to the Tigrex Dossier, which had advanced to the medium phase of the fourth level due to the Golden Emperor Body, and the Heavenly Arcane Star, which he cared about the most.

He saw two clusters of deep red Star Fire burning fiercely, emitting wisps of mists, and dazzling golden light twinkling on the edges of the Arcane Star, signaling that his Class V Arcane Star had reached perfection and was on the verge of another breakthrough.

Yet, what David Jones was most concerned about was that his Arcane Star, which was twice the size of a normal Trainer’s Arcane Star, had shrunk to a quarter of its original size, giving him a sense of extremely pure power and also triggering the growth of all his innate talents.

“Although none of the talents have awakened new traits, the Dragon-Wielding strength and quality has increased three to four times over the past!”

This unexpected surprise made David Jones pause in shock.
