2069 The Ruler Amulet, the Infernal Dragon’s Suppression, Dark Dragon Gives In
"Do you recognize this?"
Chu Kuangren took out an amulet and said indifferently.
Dark Dragon snorted. "Do you think a piece of crappy amulet will protect you? You must be too full of yourself. Even if–"
Before Dark Dragon could finish speaking, he caught a glimpse of the amulet from the corner of his eye. It was apparent that he was surprised yet doubtful.
His mouth hung wide open at the amulet's aura, looking dumbfounded. His dragon eyes were bigger than Chu Kuangren as a whole.
"T-This is the… The Ruler Amulet!"
"It's His Highness's Ruler Amulet! How is this possible?"
Dark Dragon glared at Chu Kuangren and asked, "Where did you get this amulet from? You better speak the truth!"
"I got it from your master, who personally handed this to me. He told me that as long as I have this Ruler Amulet, the Darkness Tribe cultivators must listen to my command."
"Where is His Highness now?"
"No comment."
"If you don't tell me now, I'll devour you!"
Dark Dragon roared, and his domineering dragon aura swept everywhere, instantly pressing on Chu Kuangren with the weight of a whole galaxy.
However, Chu Kuangren did not back down. Instead, his gaze narrowed. A powerful dragon aura erupted from his body as he shouted, "Go on if you dare!"
Boom!
The darkness trembled.
A domineering surge of vitality qi rose into the air from Chu Kuangren's body.
It was also mixed with a surge of dragon qi.
In that instant, his vitality qi and dragon qi intertwined into a crimson dragon apparition that glared indifferently at Dark Dragon.
Dark Dragon quickly felt a terrifying threat.
His bloodline was trembling.
His soul was horrified.
"T-This is the Infernal Dragon!"
Dark Dragon could not believe his eyes.
The Great Hongmeng Universe was the source of the Infiniverse, so it was no surprise that the dragon species existed within it.
As for the Infernal Dragon, it was an Outlier, making it one of the most powerful beings among the dragons.
There were even records stating that the Infernal Dragon was the source of all the dragon tribes now.
Even the mighty Elder Dragon Tribe, one of the top-tiered tribes, would involuntarily bow its head in the presence of an Infernal Dragon.
It was no exaggeration to say that the Infernal Dragon's power possessed an effect that could suppress all dragons!
"This level of Infernal Dragon power is certainly unlike those pseudo-dragon species that only possessed a tiny part of the Infernal Dragon's bloodline. To think it can make my bloodline tremble with fear… This is definitely the purest and strongest Infernal Dragon power!"
"Is he somehow related to the Primal Infernal Dragon?"
Dark Dragon was a little puzzled.
The Primal Infernal Dragon was one of the most terrifying beings in the Infiniverse!
Even His Highness was not as powerful as those beings.
'So, this guy doesn't only have His Highness's Ruler Amulet, but there's a chance he's related to the Primal Infernal Dragon as well. What kind of background does he come from?'
Dark Dragon could not believe he had encountered someone like that just after breaking free. He was simply unlucky.
When Chu Kuangren saw the fear in Dark Dragon's eyes, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief. 'Nice, it looks like I made the right gamble.'
'The Infernal Dragon's power is certainly effective against him. Besides, its effect is far greater than I could've ever imagined.'
"Go away, little one. I won't kill you," Dark Dragon said coldly.
"It's not a matter of whether you'll kill me or not. I have your master's Ruler Amulet with me, and you must now do whatever I tell you," Chu Kuangren said confidently while fiddling with the Ruler Amulet in his hand.
Chu Kuangren's attitude enraged Dark Dragon.
'I must do whatever he asks?'
'What the hell!'
After all, he was the Dark Evil Dragon, one of the most powerful beings from the Darkness Tribe. He was even listed by the Radiant Church as one of the Eight Great Heretics!
He was a reputable being in the Infiniverse.
However, he now had to listen to orders from a puny Embodier?
Who did the man think he was talking to?
"Little one, you better not push it!"
"I have the Ruler Amulet here. Do you dare to disobey me?"
Chu Kuangren's gaze narrowed. "If I tell your master about this, how do you think he'll punish you?"
"Are you threatening me?"
"So what if I am?"
"Very well, little one. I'll give you props for your ruthlessness. What do you want me to do?"
Dark Dragon gave in.
Within the Darkness Tribe, everyone except a few individuals acknowledged the Dark Demonic Ruler as their leader and would obey his orders with unquestionable loyalty.
Dark Dragon was one of the loyal followers of the Dark Demonic Ruler.
"I'm new to the Great Hongmeng Universe, and I happen to require a mount…"
"How insolent!"
Dark Dragon roared, his eyes bloodshot with rage.
Chu Kuangren simply stared at Dark Dragon.
The dragon, on the other hand, was fuming with rage. With his teeth gnashed, he said to Chu Kuangren, "No one in my life other than His Highness is worthy of sitting on my head. Even my father, Dark Dragon King, has no chance, let alone a puny being like you!"
"Is that so?"
Chu Kuangren chuckled and did not ask any further. "If that's the case, why don't you follow me and be my subordinate?"
If he could not get a mount, he would ask for something else.
Dark Dragon started to ponder.
Chu Kuangren secretly got delighted that the dragon was considering his request. He then continued to say, "I've made a deal with your master. If anything happens to me, he'll be the one affected the most. You should think carefully about your options."
"Very well."
Dark Dragon nodded. "I'm doing all of this for His Highness alone!"
"Your loyalty is admirable."
"Of course."
Dark Dragon lifted his head delightedly.
Chu Kuangren's lips twitched. 'What are you getting happy for?'
After some prodding, he soon gained a better grasp of the limits of the Darkness Ruler Amulet and learned that its influence was pretty big.
However, it was not limitless.
He was now more confident about what to do when encountering more members of the Darkness Tribe in the future.
If he could use it wisely, he could at least obtain a considerable force at his disposal before he completed his deal with the Dark Demonic Ruler.
"Let's go," Chu Kuangren said.
He was about to leave the Thousand Suns City with Dark Dragon when the latter spoke while looking at the other cultivators trapped in darkness.
"Hold on, I just broke free from being sealed, so I need some items to regain my strength. Let me finish devouring everyone here first."
He had trapped more than half of all the Thousand Suns City's cultivators. Although all of them combined still paled in comparison to Chu Kuangren alone, he could still gain something by eating them.
"If you want recovery items, I have many of those with me. Let's not waste our time here anymore. Who knows when the Radiant Church reinforcements will arrive," Chu Kuangren said.
When Dark Dragon broke through its seal, the church cultivators of the Thousand Suns City had sent word for reinforcements.
If they dragged on for too long, it would be hard to leave when most of the church's reinforcements arrived.
"Hmph. No matter how many of those church cultivators come, I'll eat them all." Dark Dragon snorted.
Despite saying that, he understood he had not regained his full power. Hence, he also wanted to avoid the elites from the church if possible.
…
Above the Thousand Suns City, a black enchanted boundary enveloped the whole city.
Far away, a few cultivators in black robes were a little anxious.
"Why hasn't Lord Dark Dragon come out yet?"
"That's right. If we continue waiting any longer, the church's reinforcements will arrive soon."
Those people were cultivators of the Darkness Tribe. They were the ones who set Dark Dragon free.
According to their plans, they should have left Thousand Suns City immediately after releasing Dark Dragon to avoid clashing with the church's cultivators.
However, they did not expect Dark Dragon to want to vent its anger from being sealed away for so many years. That was why they had not left yet.
"Sigh. I heard that Dark Dragon is very loyal to His Highness, but it's a pity he's too hot-tempered. I suppose this is to be expected," one of the cultivators could not help but lament.
