CHAPTER 964 DRAGON-SHAPED SOUL BEAST
Rocky was a little shocked to see that the seal of the huge dragon statue had been removed. After all,
it was a well-known fact that an extremely great amount of power was required to remove any seal set
up by the spiritual race.
The fact that the dragon-shaped jade was able to release that much power was truly inconceivable to
Rocky. However, what came next surprised him even more, if that was possible. He suddenly heard a
voice from the dragon-shaped jade!
"Who are you?" he asked in awe. He had never expected the dragon-shaped jade to contain so much
power, let alone a being that was able to speak human language. Although he did not know what it
was, he knew that he was dealing with something extraordinary.
All of a sudden, the dragon-shaped jade, which had been constantly emitting red light, flew into the air
and hovered in front of him. Then, a beam of light was projected from the dragon-shaped jade, forming C0ntent © 2024 (N/ô)velDrama.Org.
a dragon-shaped transparent light body, like an exquisite doll. Although it was only the size of a palm, it
exuded an astonishing aura.
"You... You are..." Rocky breathed in shock. In fact, he had seen this being before! It was none other
than the Dragon-shaped Soul Beast he had seen in the Myriad Spirit Tomb. But he could not
understand what it was doing here at the moment.
"I don't have enough power to show myself for long, so I'll keep this short." Rocky suddenly heard a
familiar voice in his mind. In fact, he had heard this voice a few times before, but he had always
dismissed it as an auditory hallucination. Now, to his surprise, it turned out that someone had really
been talking to him all along.
"Why are you in this dragon-shaped jade?" he asked with a frown.
"I am the one who formed it with my power," the Dragon-shaped Soul Beast replied.
"I see. But why did you turn into a dragon-shaped jade? You wanted me to take you out of the Myriad
Spirit Tomb on purpose?" Rocky asked suspiciously. He had a lot of questions in mind now.
"You are already an inheritor. With me by your side, you will be able to successfully gather the blood of
the nine legendary guardian beasts and open the door to the path of omnipotent skill," the Dragon-
shaped Soul Beast explained.
"An inheritor? Does it have anything to do with the Witch of the Holy Dragon Empire? And what is the
path of omnipotent skill, anyway?" Rocky asked, raising his eyebrows in confusion. He had never
heard of any of these terms before.
"That's something that you will have to discover on your own," the Dragon-shaped Soul Beast replied
mysteriously.
"Forget it. I'm not interested. You can find another inheritor," Rocky said blankly. He had much more
important things to do than go and collect the divine blood of the legendary guardian beasts.
"It is your destiny! You can't deny it," the Dragon-shaped Soul Beast said angrily in a booming voice
that thundered in Rocky's ears.
"Destiny? Do you know how difficult it would be to gather the divine blood of the nine legendary
guardian beasts? First of all, I don't even know where any of those beasts are. And even if I did, I don't
have the strength to collect their divine blood. With my current strength, I can't even defeat an ordinary
guardian beast, let alone a legendary one," Rocky said, shaking his head helplessly. In fact, what he
hated most in this world was the concept of destiny. He believed that everything could be changed as
long as one made the choice to do it. There was nothing that was already written or decided. To put it
simply, he was an atheist.
"You're right, you don't have enough strength. However, the power in your body is a heavenly power. If
you can train yourself to gain complete control over it, that will be enough for you to gather the divine
blood of the nine legendary guardian beasts!" the Dragon-shaped Soul Beast said slowly, as if it was
explaining something to a child. It was slowly losing patience with Rocky, but it tried to be as
reasonable as possible.
"A heavenly power? Are you talking about the Holy Dragon Bead in my body? What do you mean?"
Rocky was puzzled. The Holy Dragon Bead had been given to him as a gift by the Dragon Master Clan.
How could it be a heavenly power? In fact, if he had heard this from anyone else, he would have
immediately dismissed it as a lie or the babbling of a madman. But considering that he was hearing it
from the Dragon-shaped Soul Beast, which seemed to be an ancient being that had existed in the
mysterious Myriad Spirit Tomb for a long time and thus would know a lot more about the matters of the
spiritual race, he was half-convinced.
"You will understand everything when the time is right! As for your strength, let me think about how I
can help you." The Dragon-shaped Soul Beast thought for a while and then said, "I can take you to a
few places where I hid treasures a long time ago. Those treasures will help you."
"That sounds great. Tell you what, I'll think about it if you become my spirit-manipulated beast," Rocky
said tentatively. Of course, he knew that there was no way that the Dragon-shaped Soul Beast would
agree to it. But on the off-chance that it did and became his spirit-manipulated beast, he would
definitely make a fortune, so he decided to give it a try. The Soul-shadow Beast was second only to the
ancient spiritual beast, and now that the latter was extinct, the Soul Beast was the strongest. Even the
descendants of the ancient spiritual beast such as the supernatural beast were not comparable to the
Soul Beast at all.
"You wish! I'm not something that you can control. Until now, you've only seen me at my weakest
state," the Dragon-shaped Soul Beast said arrogantly, raising its chin at him.
"Your weakest state?" Rocky said in awe. If he remembered correctly, when he had first seen the
Dragon-shaped Soul Beast, it had emitted an aura that seemed to be of the Divine Stage, at least. If
that was the Soul Beast at its weakest state, then its strongest state would be unimaginable. There was
no way he would be able to control it.
The Dragon-shaped Soul Beast nodded arrogantly. "So, don't ever think about making me your spirit-
manipulated beast."
"Then there's nothing in it for me." Rocky shook his head in disappointment and asked, "By the way,
you have been in the jade for so long. Why did you come out now?"
"That's because your strength is too weak right now. In order to turn into this jade and follow you out, I
used up almost all of my power. Therefore, I won't show up unless I absolutely have to," the Dragon-
shaped Soul Beast explained.
"It's all my fault, then," Rocky said, raising his eyebrows.
While the two of them were talking to each other, the altar continued changing dramatically. It was as if
the earth was collapsing and the mountains were shaking.
