"Dead?" Both Lin Yi and the ghost were shocked at the same time- even the Five Bane Dragon was at Earth Opening level, and the Five Poison Jiao Dragon, as its master, had to be even stronger. A super spirit beast of that level couldn't even die easily, let alone be killed by a human. How did it die so suddenly?
"One day, there was a special sound transmission from the spirit beasts in the sky above the entire south island, saying that Elder Azure Dragon had been missing for several years, and there had been no news of him until now. No one knew whether he was dead or alive. Now that the new king of spirit beasts had succeeded the throne, the position of Elder Azure Dragon, as his right-hand man, naturally couldn't be left vacant. Therefore, the king decided to hold an open selection for the new Elder Azure Dragon. There was a minimum requirement for registration, and that is, the strength of the dragon clan must be above the Sea-splitting Stage," the Dragon of Five Evils said from the beginning.
"The Sea Splitting Stage?" Lin Yi was stunned. Another new stage that he did not understand.
"Above the Earth Opening Stage is the Sea Splitting Stage. If you want to become a top-notch elder of the Spirit Beast Clan, the Sea Splitting Stage is the basic requirement. Otherwise, you won't be able to subdue so many arrogant and powerful Spirit Beasts. Even the prestige of the Dragon Clan won't be enough. Even the Spirit Beasts of your own clan may not be able to subdue them, let alone other clans," the ghostly thing explained.
"I see." Lin Yi's eyes lit up. He had been guessing what the ghost was at its peak. From the Mysterious Ascending Stage to the Mountain Opening Stage and then the Earth Opening Stage, he had guessed almost all of them. But now, he had a general idea. It should be the Sea Splitting Stage … or even higher! It was terrifying just thinking about it.
"So, your master, the Five Poison Jiao Dragon, is going to participate in the selection for the new Elder Azure Dragon?" The ghost turned to the Dragon of Five Evils and asked.
"Yes, my master is qualified. Although he doesn't show himself, he is not completely pure. He still has some ambitions. This time, he has a chance to become the new Elder Azure Dragon. Of course, he won't let it go. Besides, with his strength, he has a high chance of winning. If nothing goes wrong, this position will be his. "The Dragon of Five Evils said.
"Although I've never seen this Five Poisons Flood Dragon before, with its powerful talents of all five elements, ordinary spirit beasts would find it difficult to defeat it. Even if it were of the same level, it would have a higher chance of winning," the ghostly thing commented.
Lin Yi nodded. Since even that ghostly thing had such an evaluation, it meant that this Five Poison Flood Dragon indeed had the strength to challenge the new Azure Dragon Elder. He couldn't help but ask, "What happened after that? Could it be that there's a dragon spirit beast that's more powerful than your master among the participants? "
"No." The Dragon of Five Evils shook its head decisively.
"No? Were you there during the selection? "Lin Yi was puzzled.
"I wasn't there. With my strength back then, I could easily become food for other spirit beasts if I went out. Not to mention, at the Sea Splitting Stage, I've already reached the acme of perfection. If I didn't have enough strength, I wouldn't have been able to see anything. Instead, I would have been easily killed by the aftermath. That's why my master didn't bring me along during the selection. "The Dragon of Five Evils shook its head.
"Then why did your master …" Lin Yi didn't finish the sentence. If the Five Poison Serpent was really that strong, and yet it didn't become the new Green Dragon Elder and died instead … There had to be a lot more to it.
"My master told me this after he escaped. He was full of confidence when he went to compete for the position of the new Azure Dragon Elder. However, he didn't expect that the Vermillion Bird Elder who was in charge of this matter had already chosen a candidate. The so-called open selection was just a formality. It was a pity that although the candidates they had selected were also very strong, in the end, my master, who had appeared out of nowhere, was a cut above them. Seeing that the situation had spiraled out of control. After the situation went out of control, the Vermillion Bird Elder secretly poisoned my master. As a result, my master was caught off guard and was seriously injured. He desperately escaped back to the Five Poison Swamp! "The Dragon of Five Evils said through gritted teeth.
"Oh? Since he was able to escape back here, even the Vermillion Bird Elder should be helpless against him. How did he die? "The ghostly thing suddenly asked.
The Five Poison Swamp could only be entered by spirit beasts or human cultivators who possessed all five elements. So far, there were only three ghostly things that could enter. They were the Five Poison Flood Dragon, the Dragon of Five Evils, and Lin Yi. Apart from them, no matter how strong they were, they couldn't enter. Not to mention the Vermillion Bird, even if it was at its peak, it wouldn't be able to do anything. Therefore, this was a natural shelter. In theory, as long as it could escape back, it would be absolutely safe. No matter how strong the Vermillion Bird Elder was, it wouldn't be able to do anything.
"Although my master barely managed to escape, he was already seriously injured and was on the verge of death. He couldn't rely on himself to heal himself. However, the Vermillion Bird Elder had sent people to guard the swamp, so it wasn't realistic for him to find someone to help him escape. In the end, he could only accept his fate and forcefully pass on his powerful strength to me. That's why my strength increased so quickly. Unfortunately, my master's injuries were too serious. At that time, I hadn't received all of the inheritance when he was already on the verge of death …" When the Dragon of Five Evils said this, the majestic Earth Opening Stage super existence couldn't stop its eyes from turning red.
Although it was a ferocious and powerful spirit beast, it was far more affectionate than an ordinary human. The Five Poison Flood Dragon was not only its master, but also its loving father. It was the only warmth it had felt since arriving at the Heaven-Stage Island. Especially when it had passed on all of its strength to it, even its own son couldn't do anything.
Men didn't easily shed tears, and the Five Poison Flood Dragon had never known what tears were. However, the death of the Five Poison Flood Dragon made it taste tears for the first time in its life.
Lin Yi couldn't help but be speechless when he saw this. He didn't expect the Five Poison Flood Dragon to die because of this. He then subconsciously glanced at the Ghost East and thought to himself, Although the Five Poison Flood Dragon was strong, if they were to really compare, it was likely that the ghost, the former Azure Dragon, was stronger.
If the Five Poison Flood Dragon had been replaced with the ghost, it would have been able to escape to the Five Poison Swamp in the form of a primordial spirit. In the future, there would have been a chance for it to make a comeback.
Of course, this kind of heaven-defying ability was probably unique in the world. After all, the Primordial Spirit was attached to the physical body. Once the physical body died, no matter how strong the Primordial Spirit was, it would become water without a source or a tree without roots. In the end, it could only gradually wither away, and could not continue to exist like this ghostly thing.
