Chapter 1286 - Chapter 1286 Chapter 288 The Giant Dragons Trial

Chapter 1286: Chapter 288: The Giant Dragon’s Trial Chapter 1286: Chapter 288: The Giant Dragon’s Trial Song Jian, bored to death, sat on the plaza in front of the Dragon God Hall, surrounded by darkness, unable to see anything; yet the air around him was rippling with strong waves of energy, one after another, spreading out like tides continually.

Just then, Song Jian suddenly felt a fluctuation from within the Shattered Divine Realm, and a thought flashed through his mind, bringing everything within the realm instantly to his consciousness.

“So the Sacred Spirit Temple has been successfully constructed. Let’s see, what use is this building that cost twenty-five points of divine power to build!” Song Jian mumbled to himself.

The Sacred Spirit Temple within the Divine Country looked like an Athenian temple, with walls and columns depicting scenes of war–all kinds of warriors fighting bloodily, their most thrilling moments turned into reliefs on the surfaces of the walls and pillars.

These reliefs were filled with vigorous vitality, giving Song Jian the impression that the warriors on them could walk out at any moment.

It wasn’t until Song Jian inspected the attributes of the Sacred Spirit Temple that he realized, to his surprise, that cultivating beings within required the sacrifice of souls.

The stronger the soul sacrificed, the more powerful the Holy Spirit Warriors created. Song Jian felt that the temple could refuse souls too weak to be accepted, giving off a temperamental vibe.

“It will only accept the souls of Lord-level boss monsters above level eighty?” Song Jian exclaimed in surprise, “And that’s just to cultivate the lowest-class commoner Holy Spirit Warriors? What’s more, there’s a limit to their number, and to increase the quantity of Holy Spirit Warriors, the level of the Sacred Spirit Temple has to be raised continuously?”

Song Jian shook his head, realizing from this building that constructions within the Divine Country were definitely enormous devourers of divine power. Until he could generate divine power on his own, these buildings could only be maintained at a lower level. With Song Jian’s current strength, even if he could create Holy Spirit Warriors, they wouldn’t be of much help to him.

Song Jian shook his head again and withdrew his consciousness from the Divine Country. The monsters he was currently facing were mostly above level eighty, but Lord-level bosses and above were not so easy to encounter.

“No need to be able to cultivate them; just need to casually kill some of the Lord-level bosses I encounter while fighting monsters in the future,” Song Jian thought to himself.

Song Jian felt a slight disappointment toward the Sacred Spirit Temple within the Divine Country. At that moment, he heard footsteps from inside the Dragon God Hall and couldn’t help looking toward the open doors of the hall.

Soon, several human figures, each with a distinct appearance, and a little girl around thirteen or fourteen years old with smooth black hair, walked out from the Dragon God Hall.

Song Jian narrowed his eyes and tensed instinctively. The figures before him looked human, but he could feel the formidable aura radiating from their bodies. Most importantly, he could sense their ancient souls, which were millennium-old Giant Dragons.

“Legendary Realm at least, they must be Giant Dragons from the Legendary Realm…” Song Jian scanned the group, judging their strength, “Two of them have unclear strength, just like that town girl I met before; their power has definitely surpassed the Legendary Realm, a whole new level. I’m no match for them now!”

“Human, are you the combat partner chosen by Kamata?” a woman with fiery red hair asked with a smile as she stepped forward.

“Kamata? If you mean the Black Dragon that just went inside, then I suppose that’s me…” Song Jian said, staring at the woman opposite him.

The woman was brimming with an overpowering aura of flames. Song Jian couldn’t help but back up two steps without getting closer. With his current strength, he could briefly stay in molten lava of thousands of degrees, but facing this woman, he couldn’t endure the high temperature radiating from her.

“Kamata possesses enviable potential and has progressed very successfully. She has earned the favor of the Dragon God!” The woman said warmly to Song Jian, “As her combat partner, I have a little test for you. If you can pass, we will give you a gift. Would you like to accept this challenge?”

Song Jian glanced at the black-haired girl next to them, he could feel the connection between the black-haired girl and himself.

“So a mature Black Dragon can transform into a human form after advancing; it’s just that this human form still seems a bit underage!” Song Jian thought to himself.

Feeling Song Jian’s gaze, the Black Dragon Kamata snorted haughtily and turned her head away.

“May I know the content of the trial and what kind of gift I will receive?” Song Jian asked.

“For you, this trial is not difficult…”

“In the Dragon Bone Wasteland, there is an evil Necromancer who is stealing the remains of Giant Dragons to create undead creatures. We hope that you can find and kill him, while also liberating the souls of the Giant Dragons trapped within the skeletons…”

System: You have received the trial task, the Giant Dragon’s Test!

System: The Giant Dragon’s Test, task difficulty: unknown, task content: Find the evil Necromancer Meng Zhala within the Dragon Bone Wasteland, defeat and kill him, obtain his head, and present it to the Giant Dragon priestess, the Flame Giant Dragon Yali Fu. Task reward: The Giant Dragon’s Gift, level increase by 2;

After Yali Fu had told all the task details to Song Jian, a new task unexpectedly appeared in Song Jian’s task bar.

“Level increase by two?” Song Jian’s eyes lit up; at his current level, a two-level increase was a very generous task reward. Moreover, there was an unknown reward, the Giant Dragon’s Gift which was worth anticipating. Without hesitation, Song Jian accepted the task.

“Kamata, take your battle companion and go seek out the Necromancer. I wish you success!” the Flame Giant Dragon Yali Fu said with a smile, caressing the black hair of the little girl.

“Hmph, he’s so weak. What if the Necromancer kills him?” Kamata, the Black Dragon, rubbed her nose, expressing her concern.

Song Jian: “…”

“Giggle, Kamata, don’t you know the strength of the battle companion you chose? Quickly take him to find the Necromancer and complete the task. You desire that gift too, don’t you? Let him give it to you afterward…” Yali Fu laughed.

Kamata thought for a moment, nodded slightly, jumped into the air, and while her figure rose midair, she transformed into the shape of a Black Dragon, then called out to Song Jian: “Follow me closely, I know you can perform Sword Flight!”

From the massive body of the Black Dragon, a juvenile girl’s voice emerged, which felt rather incongruous. Song Jian shook his head, summoned his flying sword, stepped onto it, and flew up into the air, closely following behind the Black Dragon.

“Why do I get the feeling that she’s become harder to deal with after her advancement?” Song Jian mused to himself: “I never expected her to be a female dragon, this is really…”
