Chapter 415: Thousand-Year Cold Ice and a Heart

Whoosh!

In the freezing water in the lake, a black Flood Dragon that was two meters long moved downwards along the wall that was fully made of Frigid Iron!

“Something is indeed wrong with this lake. The pressure here increases much faster than that in a regular lake.”

After descending to a hundred meters deep, Ji Ye sensed that the temperature became extremely low.

The pressure from the water was so powerful that even the Extraordinary Rank-9 creatures had trouble breathing. No wonder even Ruan Xiaoer couldn’t reach the bottom.

However, it was not a problem for Ji Ye.

First of all, the Flood Dragons were kings in the water and could adjust the pressure in their bodies.

Secondly, the black Flood Dragon was so sturdy that it could handle the pressure in a trench ten thousand meters deep.

Even though the channels in the lake were zigzagging, and some parts were no more than one foot in diameter in the dark environment, Ji Ye wasn’t restrained at all with his Unlimited Resizing and True Dragon’s Eyes abilities.

Swimming all the way down, Ji Ye found that the Frigid Iron on the wall was getting better in quality, turning from Extraordinary Rank-1 Common to Extraordinary Rank-6 Excellent and Extraordinary Rank-7 Superior!

“It’s right up ahead!”

After swimming for five minutes in the water and when the Frigid Iron’s quality became Extraordinary Rank-8, Ji Ye, in the form of a black Flood Dragon with bright golden eyes, finally reached the spot marked on Yi He’s Mystic Tortoise Shell.

“Well, it’s a dead-end!”

However, Ji Ye didn’t see the core that caused the waves.

There was a wall of ice in his way, which was translucent and carried a bloody color and a freezing temperature!

The Frigid Iron next to the ice wall was already the best in Extraordinary Rank-9.

It meant that this ice wall was likely the cause of the Frigid Iron. The wall was so thick that Ji Ye couldn’t see what was behind it even with his sharp dragon eyes.

“Huh? I can see its stats?”

However, to his surprise, he saw the stats of the ice wall.

[Thousand-Year Dragon Blood Mystic Ice]

[Rarity: Transcendent]

[Rarity: Excellent (Rare)]

[Description: A piece of thousand-year mystic ice that has been contaminated by the blood of a Legendary True Dragon. Most of the power in the blood is already gone, but it’s still a rarely-seen high-quality Transcendent material.]

“A Transcendent material!”

It was the first time that Ji Ye had seen a Transcendent material.

Also, the material was truly enormous.

However, what Ji Ye was more concerned about was that the Twin Dragon Mount settlement was truly associated with a Legendary True Dragon.

In the beginning, Ji Ye envied the Mirage Monsters’ settlement because they had a whole set of Transcendent Mirage Dragon bones and even the Mirage Dragon Pearl.

At this moment, he realized that the Mirage Monsters’ settlement didn’t have nearly as much potential as the Twin Dragon Mount did.

It was possible that the beta testers were assigned to different settlements according to their talents.

The players of the Soul race and the Sludge Monsters probably only scored “Refined” results in the beta test, so the resources in their settlements came from Common and Refined Transcendent creatures.

The Transcendent bodies in the Metal Men’s and Forest Monsters’ settlement were probably Excellent and Superior. The Eagle Man players had Perfect talents, so they had the Eagle Peak, which was from a Buddhist mythic creature.

Ji Ye, on the other hand, had acquired powerful talents too, so the Twin Dragon Island’s potential was enormous.

It even involved Legendary creatures!

“The core that resonated with the Legendary True Blood must be behind the wall of ice.

“Huh? The road is completely blocked?

“Let me see if I can break it open!”

Ji Ye looked around and couldn’t find a way. He thought for a moment and decided to tear the obstacle down.

“Roar!”

He let out a dragon roar.

The small black Flood Dragon quickly expanded to fifteen meters long in the middle of the black light.

Well, he could not grow any bigger, as he was still restricted to the narrow space in the lake!

Clang!

Then, sharp bright golden talons ejected from the claws that resembled those of a True Dragon.

Covered in a layer of Dragon Aura, the claws smashed the wall of ice with full strength.

Boom!

The entire lake was rippling hard as if a massive bomb had exploded in the secluded environment.

The explosion was so destructive that it even caused cracks on the wall of the lake made of high-level Extraordinary Frigid Iron!

However, the ice wall that had just been hit by the dragon claws only had a few dents that weren’t deep at all, with some pieces of ice splashing out. It wasn’t broken at all.

“Well...”

The black Flood Dragon’s bright golden eyes were filled with surprise.

It was needless to stress the power of a Transcendent Flood Dragon. Earlier, in the green Flood Dragon’s body, he could destroy the Jade Dragon Sword, which was reasonably hard.

At this moment, he was in a better state, and the black Flood Dragon’s body was better than the green Flood Dragon’s body, yet he couldn’t destroy the Thousand-Year Dragon Blood Mystic Ice in a strike!

Even the dents on the surface were being quickly fixed by the cold air that flowed out of the ice at a visible speed.

“Huh?”

When he was in close contact with the wall, Ji Ye could sense the coldness that was invading his claws, and the Flood Dragon Blood inside the claws seemed to be consolidating even though he was protected by the Dragon Aura that could block all Extraordinary energy.

“True Dragon’s Eyes!”

The black Flood Dragon that was fifteen meters long sniffed.

The dragon’s eyes radiated a golden brilliance, shooting out streaks of light across the dark water on the ice!

With the Transcendent observation ability of the True Dragon’s Eyes, Ji Ye managed to see the contours of the item behind the Thousand-Year Dragon Blood Mystic Ice.

“It seems to be... a heart?”

Ji Ye tried his best to identify it.

Although it was just a heart, its diameter was no smaller than the body length of the black Flood Dragon.

At the same time, when he looked at it, Ji Ye could tell that his black Flood Dragon’s blood was turning hot.

“It must be the heart of the Legendary True Dragon.

“It seems to have been dead for over a thousand years.”

Considering the stats of the Thousand-Year Dragon Blood Mystic Ice, Ji Ye was pretty sure that the origin of his bloodline was already dead.

“However, if the heart could generate waves, it must be partially alive. Perhaps it’s because the heart’s loss of power is slowed by the ice...

“In that case, how can I get the heart for myself?”

The thousand-year mystic ice was shockingly hard and could automatically recover itself.

Also, because there was Frigid Iron in every direction, it was impossible for him to dig another way out with Rock Relocation.

“Well, I don’t have to rush into anything.

“The power inside one drop of Legendary True Blood is already too much for me. I can’t possibly absorb the energy in the heart. I’ll just leave it inside the ice so that it can keep its power.

“Besides, if the dragon’s heart still exists, then its other parts might not be completely gone... Maybe I can look for them with our ‘privilege’ this time.”

In front of the ice wall in the depths of the Twin Dragon Mount, Ji Ye stopped True Dragon’s Eyes.

For the advancement, Dragon City had been given the privilege to alter the terrains however it wanted. They could always remove the mountain to look for all the remains of the True Dragon.

“Huh?”

Also, even though the black Flood Dragon’s body couldn’t shatter the thousand-year mystic ice, a few pieces of the ice, whose sizes varied, were scattered not far away from the wall.

“They must’ve dropped from the ice ball when the heart resonated with the Legendary True Blood earlier...”

Ji Ye had a guess.

“Well, maybe I can use these pieces of the Thousand-Year Dragon Blood Mystic Ice to craft a Transcendent Dragon Blood Mystic Ice Sword!”

Naturally, Ji Ye was very interested in the Thousand-Year Dragon Blood Mystic Ice, which could block the black Flood Dragon’s full strike.

The material contained the True Dragon’s Blood and the Thousand-Year Dragon Blood Mystic Ice, which was hard and freezing. It was the best material to craft a weapon.

Although he was the best weapon himself in the black Flood Dragon state, he needed a suitable sword for his human form.

After all, the Jade Dragon Sword had been completely destroyed. Even the Black Serpent’s soul had been transformed into a dragon’s. Although he had the Black Sky Primordial Chaos Sword as a substitute, it was only Extraordinary Rank-8.

Ji Ye found it to be a reasonably good weapon before he became Transcendent, but after he realized the real power of the Transcendent level, he knew that he had to look for a new weapon.

If he were to attack with his full strength, his dragon claws could definitely break the Black Sky Primordial Chaos Sword into halves.

Of course, since he couldn’t leave a mark on the Thousand-Year Dragon Blood Mystic Ice even with the dragon claws, he would have to wait for his Fusion talent to advance if he wanted to craft a Dragon Blood Mystic Ice Sword!

Pa!

The black Flood Dragon spewed out the Void Ring that emanated purple light, ready to take the few pieces of ice in.

After all, they were too cold to be grabbed by bare hands.

“Huh?”

However, after opening the Void Ring with his mental power, Ji Ye thought of something.

Instead of taking in the thousand-year mystic ice in a hurry, he released an item from his Void Ring.

It was a jade seal that had a transparent surface and a vague dragon inside. It was exactly Wang Qing’s Transcendent Feng Shui Imperial Jade Seal.

Although Ji Ye hadn’t condensed King’s Destiny yet and couldn’t attract the power of Dragon Terrain with the Transcendent treasure, he sensed that an invisible power was filling the seal quickly when he held the Transcendent equipment.

In the process, the dim dragon inside the Feng Shui Imperial Jade Seal was quickly turning concrete.

The Dragon Terrain power inside the Transcendent treasure was already used up by Wang Qing in the battle. It was supposed to be unavailable because it had to absorb the feng shui power from Dragon Terrain, and the Dragon Terrain in Wang Qing’s settlement had been drained by him.

Ji Ye didn’t expect that it would be recharged at the bottom of the lake.

It meant that the bottom of the lake contained very enormous Dragon Terrain power!
