The Strongest Dragon in the Era of Beast Taming

Chapter 578: Chapter 572: Immortal in Death

“`

Indeed, to assist the God Egg in devouring the Unborn Void God, David Jones entered into a Holy Oath with the God Egg, becoming the unprecedented fourfold Talent awakener.

The only regret for David Jones was that the Holy Oath he formed with the God Egg vastly paled in comparison to Rossetti Lindwood’s short-term enhancement. One could even say there was no improvement at all, not even a slight increase in Arcane Star Cultivation or Body Cultivation.

However, when it came to future Potential, the traits David Jones extracted from the God Egg far surpassed the Ghost Deity’s body blessed by Rossetti Lindwood.

With this thought, David Jones couldn’t help but lower his head to glance at his chest.

He had never expected to extract a Talent of the Immortal level, but due to his own strength being too weak, this Immortal Talent was almost useless in the early stages and, moreover, he had to suffer to grow stronger.

[Immortal in Death (Dormant Phase)]: An Immortal level Talent, a trait power that only strong beings above the Immortal have a certain chance of awakening.

Once this trait fully awakens, its bearer will possess a body that neither time can decay nor external forces can destroy, achieving an ageless and undying divine physique (limited only to powers below the Immortal level, including Immortal.)

Dormant phase ability one [Death is Life]: Whenever the awakener’s body nears death, this Talent will automatically activate, permanently enhancing the awakener’s physique (Note: limited to the body, cannot break through stages).

Ability two [Immortal Existence]: The awakened body possesses a faint divinity, enabling it to temporarily withstand a great amount of Immortal Power with a mortal physique, and accelerating the further awakening of the Talent Immortal in Death.

Note: For those who have awakened this Talent, a body nearing death is not the end but the beginning of a life-transforming metamorphosis; A hundred battles without death leads to ascending to immortality!

“It’s a pity that this muggle ability [Death is Life] doesn’t work with self-harm; otherwise, I’d take off immediately, hoping to become divine through the body,” David Jones murmured doubtfully as he took a breath.

With his peak medical expertise, nearly comparable to a King-level Healer of the Umbral, and his deep understanding of human body vital points, he could easily stab himself twenty-four times, each time avoiding vital areas, inducing a severely injured but non-fatal state, then heal himself with his superior medical skills within the same day.

Regrettably, [Death is Life] seemed not to acknowledge such bug-exploiting behavior, causing David Jones to waste some blood fruitlessly and feel that this trait ability was quite a letdown.

After all, with David Jones’s cautious character, he wouldn’t deliberately put himself in danger during combat just to strengthen his physique rapidly.

Therefore, such a trait ability that could not be triggered was as good as nonexistent, only to be kept as a last resort in desperate battles, essentially useless in normal times.

As for the other trait [Immortal Existence], David Jones could only chuckle.

What was his strength? And what was the strength of an Immortal?

Unless the God Egg was willing to allow him to fleece it or he encountered a Nine Abyssal Heart-protecting Pill like before that contained Immortal Power, this trait was also of no use to his current self.

Of course, if David Jones could ignite divine fire and ascend to the Immortal realm, with the rare Immortal level Talent [Immortal in Death], even as a newly ascended deity, he could leap to become a top-notch Immortal; but ascending to godhood was not that simple!

“I wonder which trait It has awakened?” David Jones thought toward the God Egg, with some curiosity in his heart.

“Do not speak of it. When it’s time for you to know, I will tell you,” the God Egg intoned mysteriously, leaving David Jones quite disappointed.

…

Elsewhere, as the Heaven Ghost Heaven Dragon killed the Unborn Void God for the fifth time, causing its strength to fall to the mid-Venerable level, an unexpected change occurred.

“Haha, I have finally achieved it!”

The neck of the Unborn Void God swelled with flesh and blood, spraying blood, and soon a new head emerged. This fresh head was different from the past; it was not the visage of a beautiful goddess, but the youthful noble figure familiar to David Jones.

“`

“Void Willard!!!”

As the generals and worshippers in charge of the Heaven-Demon Guard, the Heaven Ghost and the Heaven Dragon immediately recognized the identity that this severed head represented.

“Blood armor and plain clothes? Heaven Ghost, Heaven Dragon?”

Looking at the two people’s signature attire and feeling the endless power within him, Void Willard opened his arms wide and lifted his head, exuding an air of looking down on everyone.

“I must thank you, for it is you who have granted me this perfect and invincible strength.”

“God?”

The Heaven Ghost and Heaven Dragon exchanged a glance, their eyes filled with grave concern.

The Unborn Void God Spirit Body is not the true form, lacking much rationality, possessing only the instinct to devour space, and with a very simplistic combat approach, meaning that even with fearsome strength, not much of it can be displayed. Both, the Heaven Ghost and the Heaven Dragon, were confident they could defeat it in battle.

But the presence of a rational Demon God Spirit Body changed everything, if they were not careful, the two of them could possibly be overturned.

Damn it! What kind of forbidden research has the Blood Temple been conducting under the protection of the Blood Sanctum Clan all these years? They can even occupy the body of a Demon God.

“A mere Demon God Spirit Body dares to arrogantly call itself a god!” The Heaven Dragon’s voice was calm, but the rolling fire dragon in his hands betrayed his inner unrest.

“Haha, a mere spirit body? That was just a warm-up. Now, I’ll let you witness what the power of Gods looks like with your own eyes!”

As Void Willard’s voice fell, the Unborn Void God’s eyes flickered with a ghostly light, and an array of twisted void channels enveloped his godly body, revealing massive, blood-red bony wings that captivated the soul.

Then His form changed drastically, a crystalline Dragon Tail slashed through the space, revealing a body without flesh and blood, jade-colored throughout, emanating a force that roiled the heavens and the void towards annihilation, as if this was His true form—a primordial Bone Dragon.

Seeing this, the Heaven Dragon stepped forward, the Venerable-ranked Sacred Flame [Gold Dragon Flame], long brewing behind him, lit up the entire sky and turned into a massive, soaring flame Heaven Dragon, emerging from the sun, with its blazing draconic claws striking fiercely at the Bone Dragon.

But Void Willard simply flicked his tail, and with a sweep, shattered the mightily roaring flame Heaven Dragon. The remaining force continued, leaving a deep, bone-revealing scar on Heaven Dragon’s face.

“Clang!” A sound of a sword ringing out.

The Heaven Ghost drew his sword and appeared behind Void Willard, his divine sword unleashing a fearsome slash, and in an instant, a visible shockwave centered around them, radiating wildly, as if two Gods were clashing.

After battling fiercely for dozens of rounds, Void Willard extended a claw that could envelop the void and the unknown. With an unstoppable force, he sent the Heaven Ghost, along with his sword, flying.

“Is this all a Ghost Immortal amounts to? I’ve only just begun to take it seriously.”

Void Willard waved his draconic claw, a hint of mockery in his eyes.

“Within the Empty Three Realms, I am an invincible existence. Once I devour you two Ghost Immortals, and then consume all the powerhouses of the Umbral, perhaps I could turn the false into the true, usurping control, and transform my Spirit Body into a true body!”

Just as the Heaven Ghost and Heaven Dragon were about to fight desperately, a voice suddenly sounded.

“Sorry, Lord of the Void, you might not have that chance,” David Jones said calmly.
