The Dark Dragon Hound looked completely different from before.
It was still a dog.
But not as much of a dog as it used to be.
The Dark Dragon Hound's fur had turned golden and it was twice as large as before. Standing on the ground, the Dark Dragon Hound was seven or eight meters tall. That was the height of the Dark Dragon Hound's back. When it stood up, the Dark Dragon Hound would be fourteen or fifteen meters tall!
The Dark Dragon Hound's limbs were covered with thick golden scales. Its sharp claws were like the claws of a dragon that could break mountains.
On its back, there were seven or eight sharp dragon spikes that were put together like a sharp shark blade.
On its head, there were two huge horns that looked like tusks or the horns of an old goat. The Dark Dragon Hound looked both domineering and strange.
The Little Skeleton, the Inferno Dragon, and the Purple Python came over and sized up this familiar yet strange little friend with curiosity.
Su Ping checked the Dark Dragon Hound's rank at once.
It was still at the sixth rank.
Su Ping was relieved. But then, he was confused. What happened to the inheritance? Why didn't the Dark Dragon Hound's rank increase?
Right then, the Dark Dragon Hound opened its eyes. Its black pupils had turned into a dark golden color. The luster was gorgeous and there was a strange coldness to it, as if it were the eyes of some cold-blooded creatures.
Su Ping walked around the Dark Dragon Hound but couldn't see anything else.
That's it?
While Su Ping was still confused, a ray of golden light came out and turned into the appearance of the dragon king's soul. But this time, the dragon king's soul was much thinner and more illusory.
"I have given my inheritance to thy battle pet. Thou shalt take good care of it. Thou shalt not violate the oath we made."
The dragon king's soul sounded weak. "In case the battle pet's rank is too high for thee to bear, I have separated the inheritance into two parts.
"The origin of the inheritance is sealed inside the battle pet for the time being. There are nine seals in total. Every time one of them is undone, a part of the inheritance will be released. When the ninth seal is undone, the battle pet will inherit all my strength and become a battle pet at the peak of the legendary rank. As for the door to the Star Rank, the battle pet will have to open it on its own!
"I will teach you the method to unseal these nine seals. Thou may unseal them according to thy own condition."
"Each seal contains a different amount of strength. When the first seal is undone, the battle pet will reach the eighth rank. When the second seal is undone, the battle pet will reach the peak of the titled rank. When the third seal is undone, the battle pet's soul will to reach the legendary rank …"
The dragon king's soul bellowed and a beam of golden light flew toward Su Ping.
As the golden light shone on him, he felt more information in his mind. The information was about the method to unlock the seals and the strength that the Dark Dragon Hound could gain after each seal was unlocked.
No wonder the Dark Dragon Hound's rank didn't rise. It turned out that the Dark Dragon Hound's strength had been sealed. That was to say, the dragon king's soul was quite considerate. It was all for his sake.
Touched, Su Ping said, "Don't worry. I'll keep my promise."
"I haven't finished …" The dragon king's soul took a moment to catch its breath.
"…" The dragon king's soul took a deep breath. "I have sealed the origin of the inheritance. The other part of the inheritance is the dragon bloodline and the secret skills. I have imprinted them all on the battle pet. The battle pet no longer has the Dark Dragon Hound's bloodline, but it has inherited my Heaven Expansion Dragon bloodline. Even though the bloodline is not pure, the battle pet can reach the peak of the legendary rank without any hindrance.
"Also, after inheriting my secret skills, the battle pet will be much more powerful than any battle pet of the same rank. I hope thou will cherish it!"
The dragon king's soul was speaking for the Dark Dragon Hound.
Su Ping could tell that the dragon king's soul was afraid that he would neglect the Dark Dragon Hound after the dragon king's soul left. That was not going to happen. The dragon king's soul was worrying too much.
"Don't worry. The Dark Dragon Hound will always be my battle pet and my partner!" Su Ping said. He sounded serious for once.
The dragon king's soul gazed at Su Ping and nodded. This time, the dragon king's soul was comforted.
The dragon king's soul regretted choosing this human. But what was done was done and there was nothing it could do. The dragon king's soul was glad that while the young man was indifferent to other living beings, he cared about his battle pet very much.
"This is my soul. I will leave it in thy mind. If thou are lucky enough to find the world of dragons, thou can take out my coffin and bury it anywhere," the dragon king's soul said. A huge coffin appeared behind the dragon king's soul. The coffin shrank until it was only the size of a finger by the time it reached Su Ping.
With Su Ping's permission, the coffin flew into Su Ping's forehead and appeared in Su Ping's mind.
Su Ping placed the coffin in a corner of his mind. He wanted to go back to the store and look through the cultivation sites to see if he could find the world of dragons the dragon king's soul had mentioned. If he could find it, he would be able to fulfill the dragon king's long-cherished wish.
"Thou may go. This is the last journey of my life. I want to be alone."
The dragon king's soul seemed to be relieved after Su Ping accepted the coffin. The dragon king's soul became fainter, and the dragon king's soul seemed to have experienced the vicissitudes of life.
Su Ping was touched by the dragon king's soul. He gazed at the dragon king's soul.
The dragon king's soul was above the legendary rank, but at the end of its life, it ended in sadness and loneliness.
"Thou art also considered my successor … Farewell, we shall meet again … at no time …"
The dragon king's soul looked at Su Ping. From the dragon king's eyes, Su Ping saw a smile, relief, and a sense of freedom. Eventually, the dragon king's soul faded away. The golden world of origin grew brighter and brighter.
Darkness was the only thing that could blind people.
There was also light.
Su Ping was unable to see anything because of the white light.
When he opened his eyes again, he saw green mountains and green grass, and a gentle spring breeze in front of him.
He was … outside the Mysterious Realm!
Su Ping was surprised.
He turned around and saw that the top of the mountain was supposed to be the entrance to the Mysterious Realm. But there was nothing there.
Su Ping felt sad as he remembered the dragon king's last words. After a moment of silence, he remembered something. He slapped his thigh. "Sh * t. I forgot to take the treasures!"
His heart was bleeding.
However, the next second, Su Ping noticed that he had something else in his hand.
It was a small golden bag, more like a silk pouch.
Su Ping was surprised. He opened the pouch and found that there was a hidden space inside. Just like the scroll, there was another world inside.
In the brocade pouch, all the secret treasures that the old Dragon King had shown him were lying inside.
Su Ping took a look and heaved a sigh of relief.
Good, he didn't lose the treasures.
He turned around again and looked at the entrance to the Mysterious Realm. He told the Dark Dragon Hound to kneel down and salute the dragon king.
Su Ping bowed to the dragon king as well!
…
After saying goodbye to the Mysterious Realm, Su Ping knew that the dragon king was no more.
The legendary battle pet warrior had passed away. Su Ping would try his best to fulfill the dragon king's long-cherished wish.
As he walked down the hill, he sensed a lot of residual auras. It seemed that a lot of people had gathered there.
Su Ping's eyes glowed. He was right. There were many guards outside the Mysterious Realm. It was just that the legendary battle pet warrior didn't expect that Su Ping would be teleported into the Mysterious Realm directly. He had done everything he could but he was still defeated by "ignorance."
"These people have just left. That girl must have come out first."
Thinking of that girl, Su Ping shook his head. She was quite talented, not to mention that she was competing with him for the dragon king's legacy. He might run into her again in the future.
"Doggy, time to go home."
Su Ping took a few steps forward. He saw the Dark Dragon Hound, or should he call it the Golden Dragon Hound now? He jumped onto the Golden Dragon Hound's back and put away the Little Skeleton and the Purple Python. Su Ping patted the Golden Dragon Hound's head.
"Let's go. Show me what you're capable of."
"Awoo!"
The Dark Dragon Hound was still as jubilant as before. The Dark Dragon Hound barked and ran off at once.
