507: Chapter 507 Spirit Beast

The four individuals surrounding Void Gazer also bowed in succession.

Chen Yi returned the greeting and then asked directly, "What exactly happened here? Zhao Zhao said she needed my help; what is it specifically?"

Void Gazer sighed.

"It is a long story. Please allow me to explain slowly..."

The five of them led Chen Yi and his two companions to a high platform on the edge of the Dream Dragon Corridor.

From here, one could overlook the entire scene of the Dream Dragon Corridor.

"The Dream Dragon Corridor was once one of the most beautiful places in the Void Realm."

"Countless Dragon Clan lives resided here: Ice Dragons, Fire Dragons, Wind Dragons, Earth Dragons, Light Dragons, Dark Dragons..."

"Each clan had hundreds or thousands of members, and they lived, multiplied, and coexisted peacefully here."

"Those intelligent beings that opened the Space-Time Rift and underwent mutations through Awakening—the Bloodline Origin of Spirit Beasts—originated right here!"

Chen Yi frowned.

"So, those girls who awakened the Ice Dragon Bloodline actually inherited the power of these Ice Dragons?"

Void Gazer nodded.

"That is correct. The power Origin of the Ice Dragon Clan is right here!"

"Not just Ice Dragons, but Fire Dragons, Wind Dragons, Earth Dragons, Light Dragons, Dark Dragons... the Bloodline of all Dragon-type Spirit Beasts in your world can be traced back to us!"

"Only when the Void Realm possesses the corresponding Bloodline Origin can you inherit the power within it!"

Chen Yi nodded slightly.

So that was it; the root of Lin Mengxue's Ice Dragon power was here...

Void Gazer continued to explain, "Originally, these Dragon Clans always lived in peace."

"Until three years ago, when Nidhogg, the Dark Dragon King, met with an incident..."

"Nidhogg was the most powerful existence among all the Dragon Clans in the Dream Dragon Corridor, and also the leader with the highest prestige."

"But three years ago, during a battle against Demonic Beasts, it killed a large number of Demonic Beasts and absorbed too much Devilish Qi."

"Those Devilish Qi eroded its Origin."

"In the end, it could not withstand the erosion of the Devilish Qi, completely succumbed to demonization, and transformed into a Demon Emperor."

"Furthermore, it even lost a large portion of its original consciousness."

"The current Nidhogg is just a monster without reason, knowing only how to kill."

Chen Yi furrowed his brows tightly.

He recalled the ancient texts he had seen earlier at Zhao Zhao's home.

Because the Souls in the Void Realm were all decomposed, entities like Demonic Beasts did not exist.

However, due to the accumulation of large amounts of Devilish Qi, monsters known as Demonic Beasts were still formed.

They shared the same root as Demonic Beasts, but were much stronger and possessed no autonomous consciousness.

They would only indiscriminately attack the world malice and these Spirit Beast Origin lives of the Void Realm...

"Then why not just kill it?"

Chen Yi asked.

Void Gazer smiled bitterly.

"If it were that simple, we would have acted long ago."

"But the problem is, Nidhogg's prestige among these Dragon Clans is too high."

"Even though it has succumbed to demonization, those Dragon Clans still defend it, protect it, and do not let anyone approach."

"They are using their own power to suppress its demonic nature, attempting to awaken it."

"But they do not know that it is impossible!"

"Without the power balance of a Beast Tamer, demonization is irreversible!"

"And by doing this, they will only cause themselves to be eroded by the Devilish Qi as well!"

"Just like a plague, Nidhogg is now the source of a plague!"

"As long as it is still here, the surrounding Dragons will be continuously eroded by the Devilish Qi and will eventually succumb to demonization too!"

"In three hundred years, hundreds of Dragons have already begun to show signs of demonization due to being near it for a long time."

"If this continues, the entire Dragon Clan of the Dream Dragon Corridor will be destroyed!"

Chen Yi fell silent.

He looked at the black mountain in the distance, watching the massive figure coiled at the top of the peak, and complex emotions welled up in his heart.

Is this the so-called 'the dragon slayer eventually becomes the evil dragon'?

No, it is even more ironic than that.

This was a former king who, in order to protect what he treasured most, eventually turned into a monster that needed to be eliminated.

Yet those clansmen it once protected are using their lives to protect it, attempting to awaken it.

Unaware that their actions are accelerating the demise of the entire race.

"So... you asked me to come here because you want me to help deal with Nidhogg?"

Void Gazer nodded slightly, "Yes!"

"The essence of our power shares the same source as Devilish Qi; forcibly suppressing Nidhogg is not only extremely risky, but it might also accelerate the spread of the Devilish Qi."

"But Beast Tamers from the intelligent life planet are different; the power they possess can inhibit the infiltration of Devilish Qi."

"Only you can suppress its Devilish Qi and restore its reason without harming Nidhogg's Origin!"

"If you can handle this matter well, we of the Dream Dragon Corridor are willing to offer a generous reward!"

The other four also bowed in succession.

"Please!"

Chen Yi looked at them.

These world malice entities, who had lived for who knows how many tens of thousands of years, had eyes full of sincerity at this moment.

They were not ordering, not threatening, but pleading?

Pleading for those Dragon Clans to a pet from another world?

This is truly a bit bizarre...

Chen Yi was silent for a few seconds.

Then, he turned his head to look at Emilia.

"What do you think?"

Emilia thought for a moment and said, "The risk is not high. You are now Tier 15, and with the world will, suppressing a demonized Dragon should be no problem."

"Besides, didn't that Zhao Zhao say? We will find the answer we want here!"

"Since we have no leads, we might as well give it a try!"

"I think so too."

Chen Yi turned his head back and looked at Void Gazer, "I agree!"

Void Gazer was overjoyed.

He waved his hand hurriedly, and a translucent crystal appeared in front of Chen Yi.

"Thank you, Mr. Chen Yi!"

"This is the topographical map of the Dream Dragon Corridor; it marks the location of Nidhogg's lair and the distribution of the surrounding Dark Dragons."

"If you need any help, contact us at any time."

Chen Yi took the crystal and probed it with his consciousness.

Instantly, information regarding the entire Dream Dragon Corridor's terrain, Dragon Clan distribution, Devilish Qi concentration, and more flooded into his mind.

He closed his eyes and sensed for a few seconds, then opened them.

"I understand."

He looked at Emilia and said, "You wait here for me. I will go in alone."

Emilia raised an eyebrow, "Are you sure?"

"Yes! The essence of your power is also Devilish Qi. If you go in, it might provoke those Dark Dragons. It will actually be more convenient if I go alone!"

Emilia thought for a moment and nodded.

"Be careful!"

"Don't worry!"

Chen Yi turned around and flew towards the black mountain.

His speed was not fast, one could even say it was quite slow—slow enough for every Dragon to clearly capture his trajectory.

Of course, this was not arrogance.

The intelligence crystal that Void Gazer handed over earlier stated that charging at full speed over the territory of a strange Dragon Clan would only be seen as a provocation.

The wind whistled past his ears;

An overwhelming Dragon prestige descended!

If it were any existence below the Thirteenth Rank, they would likely have been easily crushed into powder by now!
