197: Cang Long Transformation!

Inside an ancient palace in the Dragon Mausoleum Ruins.

"This giant egg, I can only entrust it to you now!"

The voice of Heavenly Azure Dragon Lord echoed, lingering for a long time.

"Do you really need my help?"

Chen Fan was slightly startled upon hearing this.

With his current ability, how could he help this powerful Universe Exalt?

Following Heavenly Azure Dragon Lord's gaze, Chen Fan immediately understood.

Could it be that he wanted him to help hatch this giant egg?

Seemingly sensing Chen Fan's thoughts, Heavenly Azure Dragon Lord shook his head gently, a meaningful smile playing on his lips.

Chen Fan understood; it wasn't Heavenly Azure Dragon Lord's giant egg after all.

He had completely misunderstood!

Under Chen Fan's gaze, Heavenly Azure Dragon Lord brought his five fingers together and gently beckoned towards the blue giant egg.

The next moment, this two-meter-tall, blue-glowing giant egg was drawn by an invisible force and floated beside Chen Fan.

"Next, I will tell you in detail how you can help me."

Heavenly Azure Dragon Lord's voice carried a hint of recollection:

"It all has to start from that great battle..."

Heavenly Azure Dragon Lord looked at the sky-blue giant egg and continued to narrate:

"This was entrusted to me by a great beast before she perished, when I was deeply trapped in a 絕地 (juedi - desperate situation) in the Universe Sea. It seems to be her child."

"That great beast also told me not to ask about its origin before giving it to me."

"Her dying wish was for this egg to successfully hatch and grow up safely, healthily, and without worries."

"But alas, after all these years, even with the nourishment of my power, it shows no signs of hatching..."

As he spoke, Heavenly Azure Dragon Lord stared intently at the blue giant egg, a deep sense of remembrance surfacing in his eyes.

Chen Fan remained silent, also looking at the giant egg.

After a long while, Heavenly Azure Dragon Lord finally reined in his sorrow and continued:

"If not for the desperate protection of that great beast, I would never have escaped that desperate situation in the Universe Sea!"

"Although I escaped, I was already close to exhaustion."

"So I want to ask you to take it and accompany it until it hatches safely and grows up without worries. This would be my greatest comfort."

"And its hatching might bring you immeasurable benefits as you roam the universe..."

At this point, Heavenly Azure Dragon Lord stopped abruptly, looking at Chen Fan with anticipation.

Chen Fan gently stroked the giant egg, his eyes growing deeper.

After a good while, he looked up at Heavenly Azure Dragon Lord and nodded heavily, saying:

"I promise you, I will accompany it and ensure it hatches and grows well."

Chen Fan now understood that this giant egg would undoubtedly hatch into a powerful beast.

After all, to be called a 'great beast' by a Universe Overlord.

Then the origin of this egg must not be simple—a Universe Lord, a Universe Strongest, or even a more powerful True God-level existence... This time, he really hit the jackpot!

Gently stroking the blue-glowing giant egg once more, Chen Fan couldn't help but feel a little excited.

"Chen Fan, its hatching depends on you!"

After speaking, Heavenly Azure Dragon Lord and Chen Fan exchanged glances, everything understood without words.

A promise between men was thus made.

Then, Heavenly Azure Dragon Lord continued:

"Chen Fan, there's one more crucial place: my cultivation technique hall."

With that, Chen Fan followed Heavenly Azure Dragon Lord to a majestic building.

Compared to the treasure hall, the space here was significantly larger.

"Greetings, Master!"

In front of the cultivation technique hall, a golden-armored half-dragon puppet suddenly materialized and bowed respectfully.

Its body reflected a dark glow, and its aura was incredibly terrifying, yet devoid of any killing intent.

"Long Da, this is Chen Fan; he is your new master from now on."

Heavenly Azure Dragon Lord said to Chen Fan with emotion: "He is Long Da, the guardian puppet of my cultivation technique hall."

"It's a shame to say, after countless years, out of all my puppets, only Long Da, this ordinary puppet, remains!"

"Long Da!" Chen Fan called out.

"Chen Fan." The golden-armored half-dragon man grinned, his eyes kind.

"Come in with me."

With that, Heavenly Azure Dragon Lord led Chen Fan into the cultivation technique hall.

Inside the palace, soul crystals, books, paintings, stone tablets, and various other items were displayed.

At first glance, they looked like ordinary miscellaneous items.

But Chen Fan could sense their extraordinary nature.

Although these seemed ordinary, they all contained powerful secret technique inheritances!

"What you see are all the cultivation techniques, secret arts, and various divine ability inheritances I have collected over countless years, ranging from Planetary Level to Undying existences, all complete. If a martial artist wishes to learn, it all depends on their comprehension and destiny."

Heavenly Azure Dragon Lord introduced, then he looked at Chen Fan and said word by word:

"Now, this cultivation technique hall, along with Long Da, I give it all to you!"

"From now on, you are their new master!"

"Thank you, Senior Tian Cang!"

Looking at the dense array of secret manuals, Chen Fan was so excited that he didn't know what to say for a moment.

No other reason than this:

These were all collected by Heavenly Azure Dragon Lord, a Universe Overlord, at the cost of countless hours and effort.

In the end, it all became his dowry.

At this moment, Chen Fan's gratitude was beyond words.

He could only thank Heavenly Azure Dragon Lord through practical actions, by faithfully fulfilling his entrustment.

Thinking of this, Chen Fan quickly walked to these cultivation technique inheritances, carefully stroking one scroll after another of divine abilities and secret arts, his touch incredibly gentle.

Now, these cultivation technique manuals, in Chen Fan's eyes, would undoubtedly become the most important foundation for Earth's rise.

With them, and Heavenly Azure Dragon Lord's resources and treasures, as well as Blood Blade Venerable's legacy.

Chen Fan believed that Earth could rise rapidly in a very short time.

At that time, even if Earth didn't possess particularly strong power,

It should be no problem to deal with some small fry and weaklings among cosmic adventurers.

Chen Fan pondered silently.

At this moment, Heavenly Azure Dragon Lord's voice sounded again.

"Whether you use the cultivation technique hall yourself, or give it to the ordinary martial artists of this world, it is your right. I will not interfere. If you encounter problems in the future, you can always seek Long Da for guidance."

"Although his combat power is extremely low, he is incredibly proficient in the area of inheritance, capable of selectively choosing inheritances based on the attributes and characteristics of each Planetary-level martial artist."

Heavenly Azure Dragon Lord looked at Chen Fan, "If the human race of this world rises in the future, remember to offer a cup of fine wine in remembrance!"

"Understood, I've noted it!"

Chen Fan nodded with utmost certainty, an unprecedented brilliance erupting in his eyes.

Because he had already heard that Heavenly Azure Dragon Lord's figure was becoming increasingly ethereal, identical to the scene just before Blood Blade Venerable disappeared.

"Still so fast..." Chen Fan's eyelids drooped slightly.

"Young one, cheer up. How many partings of life and death have you experienced now? I am merely a remnant soul, clinging to life until now just to entrust it to someone trustworthy."

"You happened to arrive, and this Exalt can finally fulfill his promise."

"This is a good thing, not a bad thing!" Heavenly Azure Dragon Lord's voice carried joy, and he even began to comfort Chen Fan.

"Chen Fan, catch!"

As his voice fell, two sky-blue lights suddenly lit up in Heavenly Azure Dragon Lord's eyes.

The lights flickered for about three seconds before directly shooting towards Chen Fan, striking his glabella.

Chen Fan's body trembled slightly.

The blue light surged countless times the moment it touched Chen Fan, enveloping him completely.

In an instant, his body was wrapped in a sky-blue light, which slowly permeated into his body.

At the same time, Chen Fan felt an incredibly comfortable sensation, as if he were in a deep mountain spring, his entire body filled with inexhaustible, terrifying power.

The moment the blue light completely permeated, a long-awaited prompt sounded in Chen Fan's ear:

"Received Heavenly Azure Dragon Lord's power bestowal, increasing 'Azure Dragon Transformation' by two uses."

Immediately following was the explanation for Azure Dragon Transformation—

"Azure Dragon Transformation: Using the power left by Heavenly Azure Dragon Lord as its source, one can transform into Heavenly Azure Dragon Lord. (Usages: 2/2)"

Gulp!!

Chen Fan couldn't help but swallow his saliva as he looked at this description.

This was identical to the trump card Blood Blade Venerable had left him.

Thinking this, a warmth suddenly welled up in Chen Fan's heart...
