Before Gu Changge even finished speaking, he reached out and grabbed at the empty void.
The Black Jiao only felt the world spin. With a cry of alarm, its massive body was forcefully compressed by an irresistible power, packed into a black sphere of light the size of a basketball!
The next moment, Gu Changge casually tossed this sphere of light into his own small world. With a slight shift of his will, he adjusted the flow of time in the small area where the Black Jiao was located to ten thousand times that of the outside world!
Before the Black Jiao could even react inside the sphere of light, it found itself in a mysterious space with incredibly dense spiritual energy, and the sensation of time passing became bizarrely swift.
It didn't dare to be negligent, nor did it have time to overthink. It frantically circulated its cultivation method, absorbing the connate spiritual energy and refining the Ancestral Dragon essence blood and connate spiritual marrow from the jade bottle.
Only half an hour had passed in the outside world, but several years had already gone by in the area of the small world where the Black Jiao was.
Boom!
An incomparably powerful, pure, and vast dragon might erupted from the small world, like the first thunderous roar at the dawn of the universe!
The black sphere of light shattered in response, and a majestic, divine black true dragon silhouette tore through the void and soared into the sky!
It was no longer a Jiao! It was a true dragon!
Its posture was vigorous and fluid. Its black dragon scales were like the deepest night sky, yet they reflected a mysterious dark gold luster, with Great Dao runes naturally engraved on every single scale.
Its horns were towering, its five claws razor-sharp. Primal chaos aura and complete dragon race laws swirled around its body; every movement stirred the power of heaven and earth!
The power of the Quasi-Emperor realm surged and roared within its body like a bursting galaxy, vast and boundless!
The Black Jiao, no, it should now be the Black Dragon Quasi-Emperor.
Feeling this unprecedented might, it felt as though it could crush stars and tear apart the void with a single thought!
Its thousands of years of past cultivation seemed like childs play; only now had it truly touched the edge of real power!
Roar!
It couldnt help but let out a dragon roar that shook the entire small world. Wherever the sound waves reached, the space rippled.
A sense of infinite power filled its body and mind, spontaneously giving rise to the illusion that in the heavens and on earth, I alone am supreme.
It desperately wanted a great battle to vent this overflowing, explosive power, to verify just how strong its reborn self truly was!
Its gaze involuntarily turned toward that leisurely young figure, Gu Changge, carrying a hint of irrepressible excitement and a sense of challenge.
An audacious thought even flashed through its mind: Perhaps... perhaps now I can...
However, what it saw was Gu Changge looking back at it with a relaxed, smiling expression. That gaze was terrifyingly calm, as if he were looking at a...
Well, as if he were still looking at a piece of food!!!
Before the Black Dragon Quasi-Emperors thought of sparring a bit could fully rise, and before it could even see Gu Changge make a move, an invisible giant hand appeared out of thin air once again. Containing supreme laws it couldnt comprehend, the hand gave a gentle swat.
Smack!
The Black Dragon Quasi-Emperor, who had just been incredibly majestic and imposing, was swatted right out of the sky by this massive hand like a boneless little snake, smashing ruthlessly into the ground once more.
At the exact moment it was swatted down, its body curled up and its defenses at their weakest, a spatial ripple so faint it was almost imperceptible flashed by.
Gu Changge didnt even stand up. He simply flicked a finger through the air. An invisible blade of qi, condensed to the extreme, precisely grazed the back of the Black Dragon Quasi-Emperor, right where its newly grown, dark-gold-gleaming dragon scales lay.
Snikt.
With a soft sound, a piece of dragon meat weighing over a hundred pounds, completely translucent and dark gold in color, drifted out weightlessly.
This piece of meat was completely different from the previous Jiao dragon meat!
It was crystal clear, as if flowing dark gold dawn light had seeped into the highest quality dark jade. The texture of the meat was as fine as premium silk, and its edges naturally emitted a soft halo of light.
Even more miraculously, the moment this piece of meat detached from the dragons body, it didnt carry the stench of blood. Instead, a pure, gentle, and faintly fragrant pure yang dragon essence diffused into the air. Just a single whiff of it made one feel warm all over, seemingly invigorating the blood and qi.
Gu Changge casually caught this exceptionally high-quality Quasi-Emperor grade dragon meat, scrutinized it closely before his eyes, and nodded in satisfaction.
Mhm, transparent color, innate dragon essence, condensed vitality... This is true dragon meat. It really is more than just a tier above Jiao meat.
Meanwhile, the Black Dragon, whose newly gathered Quasi-Emperor aura had instantly collapsed, curled its massive body into a ball uncontrollably. Even its dragon whiskers drooped to the ground in utter wretchedness.
Bouts of stinging pain from its back made it instantly realize what had happened.
Only then did Gu Changge slowly stand up. Toying with the gleaming piece of dragon meat in his hand, his gaze fell upon the curled-up Hei Lin Quasi-Emperor, his tone carrying a hint of amusement.
Whats wrong? You just broke through, your wings got hard, your look changed, and you couldnt wait to add another dish to my meal?
The Black Dragon was frightened out of its wits. All of its hot blood and inflated ego were instantly replaced by boundless terror.
It completely understood now: its meager Quasi-Emperor cultivation was probably no different from that of a little Jiao dragon in front of this man!
That strike just now was lighter than any previous one, yet it made it feel a crushing suppression originating from the very depths of its soul.
The Black Dragon suddenly shuddered. Its massive dragon head no longer tried to lift up; instead, it rubbed against the ground and spoke hurriedly in a nearly fawning, tearful tone:
Your Lordship, please see clearly! See clearly! This little dragon wouldnt dare! How could I dare?! Just now, I... I couldnt control my aura after breaking through and zoned out! I absolutely meant no disrespect to Your Lordship!
Following that, another, even stronger surge of gratitude erupted like a volcano!
It remembered being trapped in the Jiao dragon realm for a thousand years, with no hope of becoming a true dragon. Its lifelong pursuit had been on the verge of turning into an illusion.
It was the trace of Ancestral Dragon essence blood and connate spiritual marrow bestowed by Gu Changge that allowed it to be reborn, leaping to become a true dragon, and even reaching the Quasi-Emperor realm it had never dared to dream of!
This was not just good fortune; this was the grace of recreation!
In an instant, any dragon race pride or Quasi-Emperor dignity seemed completely laughable and insignificant in the face of this monstrous grace and absolute power.
Clinging tightly to this unimaginably thick thigh was the only righteous path!
Figuring this out, the Black Dragons eyes shifted from fearful and fawning to incomparably sincere and fanatical. It cried out, almost shedding tears:
Your Lordships grace to this little dragon is like a second birth! You allowed me to transform into a dragon and achieve the Quasi-Emperor realm. Even if my body were smashed to pieces, I could hardly repay a ten-thousandth of this kindness and virtue!
Looking at this Black Dragon, which had gone from arrogant to respectful, even Gu Changge, with all his vast experience, was taken aback for a moment.
Then he couldnt help but laugh out loud. You long worm, your skin is quite thick, and your awareness is pretty high. Alright, put away that look of yours and properly stabilize your realm.
The Black Dragon felt as if it had received a grand pardon. It nodded its head like a chick pecking at rice, its tone incomparably firm: Yes, yes, yes! Rest assured, Your Lordship! This little dragon will definitely cultivate hard to grow my meat to be plump, tender, and full of dragon essence!!
It added inwardly: Latch onto this golden thigh, and I will never have to worry about food or drink! So what if I have to offer up a little bit of my meat every now and then? Compared to this grand path to the heavens and having such a mighty backer, that is absolutely nothing!
From now on, the Lord can eat whatever part of me he wants! I, Hei Lin, am the Lord's dragon in life, and the Lord's meal in death!
It had completely forgotten who it was that had raised its proud head by the cold pool and roared, "The Dragon race shall never be slaves!"
