Reborn as a Hatrack in the Mystical Land
Chapter 344 - 64: True Dragon Body
CHAPTER 344: CHAPTER 64: TRUE DRAGON BODY
Time-space creatures of the Dark Insect variety, afraid of neither heaven nor earth, fear only one thing—running into a Summoner adept at employing Space Locking Restrictions.
Using the power of the stars, it locks the forces of all directions and completely seals the creature.
Last time, during a brief encounter with Yue Jinghua, the Ming Rendie had sensed a whiff of a Summoner’s presence around her.
Fearing the unknown depth of the adversary’s strength, the Ming Rendie chose to flee underground.
This time, it had repeatedly confirmed that the trace of the Summoner’s presence was not near Yue Jinghua before it unscrupulously made its move.
It always assumed Yue Jinghua was just a Demon Summoner, not expecting her to be a Summoner too, and one who could deploy Sealing Demon restrictions at that.
It never imagined that this was Yue Jinghua’s first attempt at executing the Sealing Demon Array.
When the Hexagram Demon Sealing Array fully descended upon Ming Rendie, a sense of fear sprung up in its heart.
But soon, it came to terms with it, realizing that Yue Jinghua’s Sealing Demon Array was not yet mastered, unable to drain its Dark Power completely like a true Sealing Demon Array. It felt like nothing more than a butterfly caught in an invisible spider’s web, temporarily unable to break free.
Although it was temporarily restricted by Yue Jinghua’s Star Array and unable to move, it believed she had no means of harming it.
Even with that Great Sword in her hands, chopping at it a million times, it would still be able to revive countless times through its fissure talent.
With this thought, the Ming Rendie laughed rather than getting angry, arrogantly saying, "Foolish Summoner, even if you possess the dual identities of a Demon Summoner and a Summoner, what of it? The talent of a Dark Insect is something you lowly humans cannot comprehend."
After emerging from the Stone Coffin, Yue Jinghua casually took a set of clothing from the Desire Gourd to change into, completely missing the changes that had occurred to her appearance.
Seeing the annoying laughter of the Ming Rendie, Yue Jinghua leisurely took out a cloth, wiped her hair, and was pleasantly surprised to find that her hair had become more lustrous under the effect of the Incubation Liquid.
"You’re right; I cannot hope to match the talent of a Dark Insect, being of the Human Race. And thanks for reminding me. I just happen to have kept an insect which lacks exercise and has a brain full of fat. It claims to be a Divine Worm. Today, let it exhibit the advantage of the Divine Worm and have a good competition with you," said Yue Jinghua as she used her index and middle fingers to lift a pale, fleshy Meat Worm and threw it into the Summoning Demon Sealing Array.
Her attitude suggested that the Ming Rendie before her was not some fearsome Dark Insect, but more like a cricket waiting to be played with.
"Oh no, what are you doing? I am a peace-loving nice worm," the Gold Eater Worm was initially delighting in Ming Rendie’s temporary control by the Sealing Demon Array, not knowing that the unscrupulous Yue Jinghua would, without a word, throw it into the Sealing Demon Array.
Now, both Dark Insects, one with eyes the size of mung beans, the other unable to even move its wings, stared at each other—a standoff between big eyes and small eyes.
After throwing the Gold Eater Worm into the Sealing Demon Array, Yue Jinghua consecutively made several handprints and spells, doubling the efficacy of the Sealing Demon Array to ensure that neither of the two Dark Insects could break free from its effects.
Anyone who has had even slight dealings with Yue Jinghua knows she is petty and exacting. If someone wrongs her once, they should prepare for endless retaliation.
Therefore, after having been deceived by Qing Pu into using the Sealing Demon Star Array once, Yue Jinghua spent several restless days and nights, even in her dreams, repeatedly recalling Qing Pu’s motions and the spells uttered while employing the Summoning Demon Sealing Array, and finally managed to learn the array to a considerable extent.
"I am a citizen of the Dragon War Empire and always follow the rules of the Empire, where the strong prevail. Today, regardless of who wins, I will release the other victorious party, never going back on my word. But if neither of you takes action, then just wait to die trapped in the Sealing Demon Array," said Yue Jinghua, who then dusted off her pants and walked towards the miraculous Stone Coffin, paying no heed to the howling Gold Eater Worms.
Jade does not become a tool without carving; insects do not become refined without harshness.
The stone coffin was still placed where it was, and now the lid had fallen to the ground.
Yue Jinghua grabbed the lid of the stone coffin with both hands, and with a push of her arms, she easily lifted the lid that weighed over a hundred catties.
Seeing this, Yue Jinghua murmured to herself, "It’s true, the incubation liquid inside the stone coffin can indeed strengthen the human body to such an extent."
Originally, both Yue Jinghua and the Gold Eater Worm thought that the liquid in the coffin was only meant to accelerate the hatching of the Evil Jiao’s offspring, but to their surprise, the incubation liquid had condensed a rare technique of the Jiao Clan.
It was named Jiao Long Hundred Forgings.
If someone were to ask, who is the most powerful Dark Practitioner on the Canglong Continent?
Perhaps no one could answer that question.
But if someone were to ask what the most formidable physique on the Canglong Continent is, there would only be one answer: the Dragon Body.
The Dragon Clan, as a powerful race that had been extinct from the continent for many years, could withstand freezing snowstorms, endure blazing fires, and even cross planes, resisting the lethal rains and fierce winds of other planes.
Without dispute, the Dragon Body is the strongest physique on the continent.
On the Canglong Continent, countless strong people spend their entire lives pursuing a powerful physique, and since the Dragon Body is so formidable, there are always those who covet the True Dragon Body.
In the Dragon War Empire, there once circulated a legend that a god-like Dark Practitioner had used Dragon Blood for body refining. After the Dragon Blood entered his body, that warrior forged a True Dragon Body, with rumors that a single punch could shatter mountains, and a single breath could tear apart the sky.
But that was, after all, just a legend. There were no more True Dragons in the world, let alone using Dragon Blood for body refining.
However, Yue Jinghua accidentally got a chance to refine her body.
As Yue Jinghua submerged in the stone coffin and her body fully absorbed the incubation liquid inside, information about the origins of the stone coffin suddenly flooded into her mind.
This stone coffin was where the Evil Jiao stored Jiao Eggs in anticipation of the hatching of its juvenile Flood Dragons. Unexpectedly, it became the Evil Jiao’s final resting place.
After the Evil Jiao was severely wounded and defeated by the Dragon Slayer Brave Warrior, knowing its life was nearing an end, it fully sealed itself inside the stone coffin to hide from the pursuit of the Dragon Slayer Warrior. With a secret technique of the Jiao Clan, it turned its own bone and blood into a coffin full of incubation liquid, leaving behind only a huge skeleton.
Little did it know that its decaying flesh inadvertently incubated a Ming Rendie.
The Ming Rendie was incredibly evil, fully aware that the Evil Jiao was dead, yet it left a Jiao Egg in the stone coffin, desperately trying to break the stone coffin open. However, not knowing Spiritual Attacks, it failed to break the coffin for hundreds of years.
As for the Jiao Dragon Egg inside the stone coffin...
In Yue Jinghua’s mind, an image emerged of a mysterious yellow giant egg, twice the size of an ostrich egg.
After being soaked in the incubation liquid for a year, ten years, a hundred years, it had been a full nine hundred years of immersing. That immature Jiao Egg had finally matured three years ago.
