Chapter 413 Three States of the Legendary Rank
When Su Ping opened his eyes again, a gold-colored world leaped into view.
It was boundless, and the golden color was extended into the horizon.
“This is the world of origin in my soul.”
The dragon king’s soul appeared by Su Ping, coiling in the air. The dragon waved its tail. A vast, golden lake emerged in front of them, a lake that was emitting a mighty aura.
“Thou hath past the test and can inherit my legitimate legacy!
“First come the treasures that once belonged to me, the dragon king. “Those are the treasures that I had collected in my entire life. Before my death, many top-level treasures were destroyed during fights. That being said, the rest of them are enough to protect you as you develop.” As the dragon king’s soul’s voice faded away, many shadows darted out from the lake. The treasures were moving closer.
There were many types, such as spears, swords, umbrellas, ropes, and chains.
And an ancient chariot.
Other things included a lamp, a scroll, and even a chessboard.
In an instant, tens of thousands of treasures had flown out from the lake and hovered in the air.
Su Ping looked in astonishment.
That... was a lot!
People would always say that dragons were hoarders. They truly deserved the reputation they enjoyed! “Are all of them... for me?” Su Ping couldn’t help but ask in excitement.
However, as he thought of the other girl, his mood turned lousy again. This was how humans were. He had already gained a lot but to think that others would take a share, even a slight portion, he would still be upset.
“The secondary legacy you mentioned, does it include treasures as well?” Su Ping asked again.
If that girl would get some treasures, even if there were only a few hundreds of pieces, he would still be distressed.
The dragon king’s soul shook its head. “There are merely three defensive items for her so that she can survive if she has to fight against someone at the Ocean State. She is just a kindle of hope that I want to preserve. Thou shan’t worry.”
Su Ping breathed in relief. Three was a number he could live with.
“What do you mean by the Ocean State?” Su Ping was curious.
He knew next to nothing about the legendary rank. He could take this chance to ask the dragon king’s soul.
“The Legendary rank is the name used by humans. There are three states in the legendary rank. First, the Ocean State; the Void State comes in second; and third, the Fate State!
“Those at the Ocean State, after being refined by the Heaven’s Test, possess purer astral powers. Their strength is one hundred times stronger than the average titled battle pet warriors and ten times stronger than those at the peak of the titled rank.
“At the Void State, they can influence space and teleport!
“As for those at the Fate State, they will enjoy a long life, as much as one thousand years, and will have a better understanding of space. They can teleport across long distances and they can visualize their consciousness to form a Force Field that can overpower others. With that ability, the legendary battle pet warriors at the Fate State can kill those at the Void State!” the dragon king’s soul is explained in detail. Su Ping committed that information to memory. Finally, he had a clearer idea about the legendary rank.
“What is a Force Field?
“Force Field is the one thou generated when going through the willpower test. When a consciousness is pure, the Force Field will be pure and can cleanse evil and fiends. When one’s consciousness is violent, the Force Field will be cruel and full of killing intent. Usually, the titled battle pet warriors would be so fearful of it that they would lose all ability to fight whenever they saw a Force Field, which can be compared to a deterrence skill!” “I see!”
The explanation cleared up some of Su Ping’s doubts.
It seemed that from then on, he would be able to defeat average titled battle pet warriors with the Force Field alone. The Force Field deserved to be a skill unique to those at the Fate State. The skill was formidable!
The dragon king’s soul darted a look at Su Ping. It didn’t point out that the visualization of Su Ping’s Force Field was terrifying. It was an indication of the horrors in his heart and his experience. That young man was a demon in human’s clothing!
If it weren’t for the fact that this demon was its inheritor, the dragon king’s soul would never leave him on the world. He was too dangerous! “Of the treasures, some are quite powerful but they have certain requirements for the user as well. The user can be harmed by those treasures before reaching the necessary state!” the dragon king’s soul cautioned Su Ping, “To prevent thee from relying heavily on the treasures and inflicting self-harm upon thyself, I have put them into three categories. “The first categories are fit for the Ocean State. When you reach the titled rank, you can use them.
“The second category is a match to the Void State. You can use them when you reach the Ocean State.
“The third category includes all the other treasures which you can use when you reach the Void State.”
The dragon king’s soul continued, “Of all of them, there are two that are the best of the best. You can use them now and they will keep you safe.”
Whoosh! Whoosh!
As the dragon king’s soul went on, two beams of light shone on Su Ping from the tens of thousands of treasures hovering in the air. One of the two treasures was a horn and the other was a drop of water in a dark green color. The horn was more than two meters long and seemed to be from some beast.
The drop of dark green water, which was spinning, was the size of a fist.
“Those two are mildly damaged but I have mostly repaired them, they can still be used,” with a sad tone, the dragon king’s soul added, “This horn belonged to a dragon. The horn can deter others, especially other dragons.
“Also, the horn can amplify attacks involving sound waves and increase sound wave attacks below the Star Rank by ten times!”
Su Ping sized up the horn that was dark red in color. The horn was covered in dark red lines; it seemed as if it had been soaking in blood. He could even pick up some smell of blood from the horn.
“Sir, the Star Rank you mentioned, is it above the Fate State of the legendary rank?”
“That is correct.”
“What are the details of the Star Rank?”
“That is too far away from thy state, and knowing about the details won’t be of any use. It will be revealed by the time the Fate State is reached,” The dragon king’s soul answered.
Su Ping didn’t press further because he also thought the same.
“This is Ink Armor,” the dragon king’s soul said about the drop of dark green water. “This is a defensive item that can fend off a strike by an enemy at the Fate State. However, due to the damage, the armor is not as able to fend off spiritual attacks above the Void State. Thou hath to be cautious.”
Su Ping was astonished. Then, as if inspired by the dragon king’s soul, the drop of dark green water flew to Su Ping’s hand and then seeped into his entire body like a flow of water.
Just like the time he acquired the water barrier, Su Ping felt how his body was covered by a membrane that was quite light. He saw the dark green membrane gradually disappear into his pores and hide inside him.
“When in danger, the armor will know and come out to offer protection.”
The dragon king’s soul cautioned Su Ping, “The Ink Armor can protect thee, so that not even the average legendary rank battle pet warriors can inflict harm. However, that is all it can do. A legendary rank battle pet warrior can imprison you or use other treasures and skills to kill you. The Ink Armor is not invincible. Thou shalt be careful!”
Su Ping nodded. Having gone to many worlds, he had become aware of certain skills that could take away your soul directly. The usual treasures could hardly guard against that.
But such items were pretty rare on the Blue Planet. All in all, the Ink Armor was pretty good. It would give Su Ping time to react if legendary rank battle pet warriors tried to sneak up on him. After all, when legendary battle pet warriors tried to attack a person like him, they wouldn’t think of using special techniques at the very beginning
Su Ping wondered if there were other items like the Ink Armor on the Blue Planet, if at all. “The treasures are just a part of my legacy. Here is the second part.” The dragon king’s soul eyed Su Ping solemnly. “I will bestow upon thee my original dragon power, my bloodline, the secret of my soul and my everything! My everything. I will pass everything I have to thee with my original source. Thy bloodline will be refined and thou wilt develop a dragon body, the Dragon Bulwark!
“In the human world, the Dragon Bulwark is one of the most powerful bulwark skills.”
Su Ping listened with great interest.
Dragon Bulwark. Sounds nice.
“But before I do that, thou hast to listen to my will. In your remaining years, thou shalt send my soul back to the world of dragons,” the dragon king’s soul said. “Your soul?”
Su Ping was confused.
Then, the golden lake suddenly began to boil. The center part caved in and from the swirl rose a coffin.
“My physical body collapsed but I was able to extract my soul. However, my soul is also about to decay. When I pass my power unto thee, my soul will fall into a deep slumber, seen as ‘death’ in human terms.”
The dragon king’s soul said slowly, “I hope that upon death, I can return to the world of dragons and rest in peace there. Canst thou promise me that?”
The explanation cleared up Su Ping’s confusion.
So, the dragon king wanted to return home with honor, even though it would be after death. “Sure. I got it. I’ll try my best to help you.” The dragon king’s soul gazed at Su Ping for a moment when a beam of golden light rose in front of them. The dragon king’s soul explained, “This is the dragon soul’s contract. Art thou ready to enter into a contract? Once established, thou wilt be punished by the contract and thy soul wilt be shattered if the promise is broken!”
Su Ping frowned. “I can only promise that I will try my best to send your soul back to the world of dragons when conditions permit it.”
“Good enough.”
The dragon king’s soul nodded. It was happy.
The beam of golden light shone radiantly and then suddenly shrank down and flew into Su Ping’s chest. “The contract has been set. Summon all thine battle pets now and clean up thy consciousness. Be ready for my legacy!”
Su Ping touched his chest but felt nothing. “Why do I have to summon my battle pets?” he asked curiously.
“To pass on my legacy, I will have to connect with thy soul. If there are other living creatures in thy consciousness, it will distract my legacy and lead to accidents.” The dragon king’s soul stated. At the same time, the golden glare around it became even stronger. In the meanwhile, the golden lake began to ripple again as a strong aura was emitted.
Su Ping had to get all of his battle pets out.
His battle pets began to look around curiously when they emerged. They were interested in the dragon king’s soul, not showing any fear.
“Begin!”
The dragon king’s soul shouted in a low voice. In the meanwhile, the golden lake began to tumble around until the water formed the shape of a dragon. The water dragon, as well as the dragon king’s soul, dashed toward Su Ping and enveloped him.
Su Ping felt a surge of power entering him; he witnessed a view unfold on a magnificent scale in front of him.
He saw many towering dragons flying around.
Those dragons weren’t like the winged dragons, such as the Inferno Dragon. Rather, they were actual wingless dragons!
The many real dragons were battling against the strange beasts and monsters in that ancient world.
“I’m a real dragon and I lived a long life. I fought many battles in my life...” The dragon king’s soul narrated its story in a hoarse voice. Su Ping could even hear the passage of time in the voice.
Su Ping was lost in the voice.
However, all of a sudden, the voice became shrill and full of fear. “What?! What is this thing inside thee? This supernatural feeling...”
Su Ping was pulled back to reality by the shrill cry. He was baffled. What?
Suddenly, he remembered the Solar Bulwark.
Please no.
Bad things wouldn’t happen to him, would they?
The next second, the magnificent view disappeared in front of him. He was seeing the golden world again. The dragon king’s soul was half-melted like a candle and fear was visible on its face.
