The Bronze and Fire Dragon King!

Hum, hum!!

After absorbing the Dragon Crystal, the [primordial chaos dragon pet egg] emitted a faint golden light.

However, it quickly returned to its original state.

Chen Ming looked down at its attributes.

[primordial chaos dragon pet egg]

[Quality: Overlord-tier]

[Effect: Hatchable Pet — Chaos Ancestral Dragon]

[Estimated Hatching Time: 4987 years, 36 days, 3 hours]

[Additional Trait: Time Acceleration]

...

"Reduced the hatching time by 10 years in one go?"

"Dragon Crystals can reduce the hatching time of pet eggs."

Chen Ming's eyes lit up.

A Platinum-grade [Dragon Crystal] could reduce the [primordial chaos dragon pet egg]'s hatching time by ten years.

What if it were of an even higher quality?

"Maybe I can take this opportunity to hatch this little guy early."

Muttering softly, Chen Ming put the [primordial chaos dragon pet egg] back into his backpack and continued searching the vast land.

Before long, several more dragonized monsters appeared before him.

[Dragonized Hound Lv24], [Dragonized Leopard Lv28]...

Because they contained Dragon bloodlines, these dragonized monsters' attributes were significantly stronger than ordinary monsters, some even rivaling Boss-level entities.

Unfortunately for them, they were facing Chen Ming.

Swish, swish—

Arrows fell from the sky like a torrential rain.

Not a single dragonized monster could last a second against Chen Ming.

[You have successfully killed a Dragonized Hound, EXP +1800.]

[You have successfully killed a Dragonized Corpse Puppet, EXP +2500.]

[Title [ill form the head] effect activated, EXP double, EXP +5000.]

...

Dense kill notifications popped up before his eyes.

The Ice Emperor Wolf King brought all the loot to Chen Ming like it was presenting treasures.

It had to be said that compared to the outside world, the drop rate of monsters in the Secret Realm was much higher.

From just a few dragonized monsters, a total of six pieces of equipment and items dropped.

Unfortunately, there were only two Dragon Crystals.

Without hesitation, after strengthening them with his talent, he fed them directly to the [primordial chaos dragon pet egg].

...

Time passed slowly.

In the blink of an eye, half a day had gone by.

Chen Ming reached the end of the land, standing before that ancient city.

On the ground behind him lay a massive amount of monster corpses.

"A pity, only a total of one hundred and thirty-six Dragon Crystals dropped."

Chen Ming sighed; those one hundred and thirty-six Dragon Crystals combined had reduced the [primordial chaos dragon pet egg]'s hatching time by one thousand two hundred years.

"I hope the core of this Secret Realm won't disappoint me!"

Muttering softly, Chen Ming pushed open the gates of the ancient city with force.

Creeeeak, creeeeak!!

The moment the ancient gates were slowly pushed open, a grand aura suddenly permeated the air.

Roar, roar!!

A powerful dragon roar echoed above the city.

A golden dragon, tens of thousands of meters long, circled above the city like a mobile sky fortress.

However, the golden dragon soon turned into an illusion and vanished.

At that moment, the [primordial chaos dragon pet egg] in Chen Ming's backpack suddenly began to vibrate violently.

Chen Ming took the [primordial chaos dragon pet egg] out of his backpack.

A faint golden light emanated from the dragon egg, accompanied by an almost imperceptible dragon roar.

Chen Ming somehow understood the meaning of the roar: "Do you mean you want me to go to that tower?"

Chen Ming looked up and saw that in the center of the ancient city...

...stood an ancient tower.

At the top of the tower was a lifelike statue of a giant dragon.

"Eee-ya..."

As if in response, a faint sound came from inside the [primordial chaos dragon pet egg].

"Let's go!"

Chen Ming didn't linger for a second. After stowing away the [primordial chaos dragon pet egg], he rode the Ice Emperor Wolf King toward the tower.

The journey was exceptionally smooth without any obstacles, and Chen Ming soon arrived before the tower.

The tower was far more magnificent than imagined, soaring into the clouds so high that one couldn't see its end.

Chen Ming pushed open the tower's doors and walked straight in.

In the next moment, an intense wave of dizziness hit him, and the surroundings began to blur at a visible speed.

When everything became clear again, the surroundings had transformed into a land of volcanic lava, with countless streams of magma flowing beneath his feet.

[Notification: You have entered the territory of the Bronze and Fire Dragon King.]

[You are affected by Fire Poison, taking 200 Fire Elemental damage per second.]

[System detection: Player's Fire Resistance ≥ 80%, immune to all Fire Poison damage.]

[Notification: You have entered the first floor of the Dragon Tower. The Dragon Tower has seven floors, each guarded by a corresponding Dragon King.]

As a series of notifications popped up before his eyes, the nearby magma suddenly began to flow rapidly.

Immediately after, a massive fire dragon soared into the sky from the crimson lava.

[Introduction: A statue carved in the image of the Bronze and Fire Dragon King. After absorbing a trace of the Bronze and Fire Dragon King's bloodline power, it gained life and is responsible for guarding the first floor of the Dragon Tower.]

...

It was ridiculously strong!

Even though it was only a Gold-rank Boss, the attributes of the Bronze and Fire Dragon King were enough to rival many Platinum-grade bosses of the same level.

Moreover, this was just a statue of the Bronze and Fire Dragon King containing a mere trace of its bloodline power.

One could only imagine how terrifying the real Bronze and Fire Dragon King would be.

Roar, roar!!

Just then, the Bronze and Fire Dragon King let out a ferocious roar and suddenly dove toward Chen Ming.

Awoo!

Roar!!

Seeing this, the Ice Emperor Wolf King and the Undead Lord immediately prepared for battle.

Chen Ming, however, raised his hand and recalled them both to the summoning space.

Against an enemy with flight capabilities, they weren't of much use.

Instead of leaving them out to take damage, it was better to have them stay in the summoning space.

"I am enough on my own!"

Watching the approaching Bronze and Fire Dragon King, Chen Ming raised beyond.god in his hand.

In the next moment, the dense sound of air being sliced rang out.

Arrows filled the sky like torrential rain, blocking all of the Bronze and Fire Dragon King's offensive routes.

However, to Chen Ming's surprise, the Bronze and Fire Dragon King seemed not to notice.

Even though all its paths were blocked, it continued to charge forward recklessly.

"No self-awareness, only knowing how to attack based on instinct?"

"Boring."
