Chapter 79 Lin Xuan in the East China Sea!
"Why don't you utilize your talent for incense offerings?"
"Wait, I see. This must be a special technique, not a supernatural power, and cannot be obtained through devouring talents."
After pondering for a moment, Lin Xuan put the thought aside and looked around.
He was initially worried that after killing the Jinghai Dragon King, he would be besieged by shrimp soldiers and crab generals, and would have to hastily engage in battle before he could devour the Dragon King, so he made some special arrangements.
Unexpectedly, this arrangement backfired. When the shrimp soldiers and crab generals saw that the situation was not good, they scattered like birds and beasts, without even thinking about avenging their Dragon King.
"That's fine too!" Lin Xuan chuckled and turned around.
After the upgrade, his size almost doubled.
Although its appearance remained unchanged, still resembling a dragon, and even its 'Dragon Might' had not been upgraded, the inexplicable sense of pressure emanating from it grew stronger.
Lin Xuan proudly waved his claws, feeling the power within his body. He looked at the mutilated body of the Jinghai Dragon King, and with a thought, he put the corpse away.
He opened his gaping maw and swallowed the corpse into his subspace stomach.
If it were any other monster, it would have been reduced to nothingness long ago after Lin Xuan activated his Devouring Talent.
The Dragon King of Jinghai truly lived up to his reputation as a dragon, managing to leave behind a portion of his corpse.
Dragons are treasures from head to toe; even if they have absorbed the essence of a dragon, the remaining parts are still very valuable.
But this scene was terrifying in Crab's eyes.
"This flood dragon actually dared to swallow a real dragon whole? This, this..."
Crab was so frightened that he couldn't speak, his mind went blank, as if he were in a dream.
It was Lin Xuan who spoke first, waking him up.
"Good pet, you have done me a great service, I will reward you handsomely in the future."
"But I need to go find my wife right now, so let's put this matter aside for now. You guard this place, I'll go get it and be right back!"
After saying this, Lin Xuan didn't give Crab a chance to reply and turned to fly away.
As for whether Crab King would take the opportunity to run away, Lin Xuan wasn't afraid at all.
The shrimp soldiers and crab generals who just escaped will surely spread everything they saw and heard.
At that time, Crab King will be the number one traitor of the East Sea Dragon Palace, a villain who defected to Lin Xuan.
If the crab were separated from itself, it probably wouldn't survive even a day.
Unless this crab is stupid and understands this principle, it can only follow its own path to the bitter end.
Lin Xuan flew into the air and found that his body was much lighter, his size had increased several times, and his speed had not only not slowed down, but had actually increased by three points.
He thought about it for a moment and then understood.
Although it wasn't described in the system panel, after devouring a true dragon, not only did his level increase, but his essence also took a significant step closer to that of a true dragon.
All dragon-related supernatural powers and skills have also been enhanced.
"Perhaps I don't need to devour 10 true dragons to raise some of my supernatural abilities by one level!"
Lin Xuan laughed and stopped thinking about it, then flew back to the vicinity of Dragon Island.
Before he could even get close, Bai Suzhen rushed over, her face full of anxiety.
If Lin Xuan had returned any later, she would have been unable to contain herself and would have gone to look for him!
"Husband, why are you only just returning?" Bai Suzhen asked hurriedly.
Lin Xuan did not hide anything and recounted what had just happened.
Bai Suzhen breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this, and patted her chest, saying:
"My lord, since you are going to fight that Dragon King, why didn't you ask me to come and help?"
"Even if there's not enough time, I've given you so many magical treasures before, why don't you use them?"
Bai Suzhen held Lin Xuan's hand, looking him up and down, her eyes full of worry.
Although Lin Xuan returned safely and even killed the Dragon King of Jinghai, Bai Suzhen was still terrified.
If Lin Xuan fails to defeat the Dragon King and is instead captured or even killed by him... what should she do?
Bai Suzhen gradually increased the pressure on her hands, staring intently into Lin Xuan's eyes as she said seriously:
"My husband, you mustn't act recklessly again if something like this happens next time!"
Lin Xuan was moved and nodded earnestly.
The two embraced and stayed close together for a long time before separating.
Lin Xuan said, "My wife, I've killed that Dragon King. The East Sea Dragon Palace will find out sooner or later. We can't stay here any longer!"
"Go to Jinghai Dragon Palace and loot its treasures. I'll go back to the Dragon Palace."
Lin Xuan's arrangement was also meaningful.
In the game "Myth", there is a setting where players who kill a boss and loot its lair are not guaranteed to get all the loot.
Besides the treasures that drop regularly, players can only obtain a portion of the other magical items collected by the boss.
After Lin Xuan suppressed Fahai last time, he felt that this rule might not work again, so he forgot about it for a moment and went directly to plunder Jinshan Temple, which led to this situation.
Jinshan Temple has been in Hangzhou for so many years, and its domineering style has always brought it countless benefits, which has drawn criticism from even the locals.
When Lin Xuan first arrived in Hangzhou and held a grand banquet, he vaguely heard rumors about it.
Logically speaking, Jinshan Temple's storeroom should be filled with at least a considerable amount of money, if not overflowing with gold and silver treasures.
There should also be a considerable amount of herbs, as well as some materials dropped by ordinary monsters.
But after searching the accounts, Lin Xuan found that they didn't match up.
Afterwards, Lin Xuan pondered to himself that there seemed to be some kind of law at play that made him ignore some treasures and treat them as ordinary things.
This time he was no longer careless and let Bai Suzhen step in.
If it were still in a game, having NPC teammates fight would certainly yield more loot, but the NPCs would also keep a portion for themselves.
In the end, the treasures that end up in the player's hands may be even less, so it's better to just loot them directly.
But now… Lin Xuan looked at Bai Suzhen’s face and smiled slightly: “My wife, you must be careful not to waste too much time searching for the Dragon Palace.”
Bai Suzhen waved her hand dismissively and said, "Don't worry, my husband, that's just the palace of a little dragon king, not the East Sea Dragon Palace."
"I only need half an hour to turn it upside down. The Dragon King of the East Sea's men won't be here that fast."
"After I get those treasures back, you must keep them for yourself, my husband. You also have to promise me that you will refine all of them and use them when needed, okay?"
After saying that, Bai Suzhen turned and left without waiting for Lin Xuan's reply, taking Xiaoqing with her.
Lin Xuan shook his head slightly as he watched Bai Suzhen's retreating figure.
He's not stupid; of course he wouldn't hesitate to use his magic weapon.
The only magical artifact he could use at the time was that "Ten Thousand Year Serpent Scale Armor".
However, the Dragon King of the Tranquil Sea's might not only suppressed the snake race's strength, but also greatly affected their scales.
Even if Lin Xuan wore it, it wouldn't increase his defense by much, and the scale armor would lose a lot of durability in battle, making it a complete waste.
If that's the case, then why bother with all that?
Lin Xuan wanted to explain, but Bai Suzhen didn't give him the chance.
"Never mind, let's talk about it later."
Lin Xuan didn't pay too much attention, looked down at Dragon Island, and waved his claws.
[Build the Dragon Palace!]
The moment he unleashed his supernatural power, a beam of azure light shot out from his claws, carrying a peculiar force.
It is not magical power, but the power of laws.
Unlike Lin Xuan's system space, this power of law, upon landing on Dragon Island, did not directly receive it into the subspace, but instead shrank countless times out of thin air.
Under Lin Xuan's gaze, it visibly shrank, eventually transforming into a palm-sized miniature island that returned to Lin Xuan's hand.
Lin Xuan was still in dragon form, and his claws were almost as big as a normal human body.
This tiny island, nestled in my hand, is like a toy, only exquisitely crafted.
Looking around, Lin Xuan could even see the trees and flowers on the island, all of which were transplanted there by Bai Suzhen.
There is also a very secret passage under Dragon Island that leads directly into the interior of the island, which is the cultivation cave that Lin Xuan set up.
Moreover, after observing for a while, Lin Xuan discovered that not only had Dragon Island shrunk, but the spiritual energy on it had also become much more abundant.
A surge of spiritual energy, like water without roots, appeared out of thin air and enveloped the entire island. Trees grew lushly and all kinds of grasses flourished, giving it a somewhat celestial appearance.
It's amazing that such a broken supernatural power has such strength!
Lin Xuan was overjoyed and carefully put away the Dragon Island, hiding it under a piece of scale armor.
Since the upgrade, his health bar has been fully restored, and all his injuries have naturally healed. His scales have regrown, making him even stronger than before.
After putting away Dragon Island, Lin Xuan lowered his head once again.
Dragon Island vanished into thin air, leaving behind a huge whirlpool on the sea surface. Seawater rushed back and crashed into the original center of Dragon Island, creating enormous waves.
Like a stone thrown into the sea, it launched a ball of seawater into the air, and after a moment it fell back into the sea, leaving behind many ripples.
Lin Xuan did not linger. He stood tall in mid-air and waited for Bai Suzhen and the others to return before leading them away and disappearing into the depths of the sea.
Although Lin Xuan suddenly disappeared, what he did caused a huge uproar.
Just like the scene that happened after he took Dragon Island, a huge rock was smashed down in the East China Sea.
"What? Lin Xuan is really in the East China Sea? Is the news reliable?"
Not far from the coastline in the East China Sea, an extremely magnificent palace stands majestically on the seabed.
This is the Dragon Palace of the East Sea.
The Dragon King of the East Sea, seated on his throne, was somewhat unwilling to believe the news.
"That dragon committed a grave crime, angering the Heavenly Court. Why would it come to our East Sea instead of retreating to the deep mountains and forests?"
Hearing the Dragon King's question, the Turtle Prime Minister before the throne smiled wryly:
"Reporting to the Dragon King, that dragon not only hid in our East Sea, but also killed the Jinghai Dragon King! Once this news spreads, our East Sea will likely become a laughingstock!"
"The Dragon King of the Tranquil Sea?" The Dragon King of the East Sea pondered for a moment before finally remembering something.
"Oh, so it was him. His cultivation level has always been extremely low, so it's not surprising that he was killed by that dragon."
"It's really the Heavenly Court's fault. They give the title of Dragon King to all sorts of worthless creatures. It's outrageous! In my opinion, there should only be four Dragon Kings in the world. The others should just be called River Gods..."
The Turtle Prime Minister stamped his foot in frustration.
The Heavenly Court did this intentionally, to cultivate more Dragon Kings and thus share the incense offerings and power of the Four Seas Dragon Kings.
There are only four Dragon Kings in the world, so the title of Dragon King is naturally very prestigious.
If there are dragon kings everywhere in the world, even in a deep well, then the title of dragon king would naturally lose its value.
Everyone knows these things perfectly well, so what's the point of you saying this?
Also, aren't you missing the point?
The Turtle Prime Minister straightened up, transformed into an old man, and cupped his hands, saying, "Your Majesty, is this the time to discuss this? The most urgent matter is to capture that dragon as soon as possible!"
