Chapter 749 - The Dark Dragon Hounds Tribulation

Chapter 749: The Dark Dragon Hound’s Tribulation

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Su Ping looked at his battle pets as he pondered.

The Little Skeleton was in the advanced phase of the ninth rank.

The Inferno Dragon was still in the middle phase.

The Dark Dragon Hound had also improved from the mid phase of the ninth rank to the advanced phase after being cornered by the Lord of the Deep Caves.

As for the Purple Python, it was still in the sixth rank; although it did have an Ocean State combat ability and high aptitude, it was still far away from the Ocean State.

Su Ping didn’t intend to improve its level either. After all, the lower the level, the easier the training. He intended to train the battle pet with the highest aptitude to unlock more system businesses.

It’s time to unlock the dragon heritage that has been sealed in the Dark Dragon Hound’s body, Su Ping thought.

Of course, he was still unable to unlock it in its entirety.

There were nine seals inside the Dark Dragon Hound; it could break through all the way to the top of the Fate State if all of them were lifted!

However, a rapid increase of level could hardly be transformed into combat ability without proper whetting and polishing.

It was one of the reasons why Su Ping didn’t remove the seals during the war against the Deep Caves’ uprising. Plus, he was only a ninth rank warrior back then, and even if he had lifted the seals, the hound would have only reached the advanced phase of the Ocean State.

The mere improvement of one level wouldn’t have been significant on the battlefield. Unlike him, the Dark Dragon Hound would have only had ten times more energy after reaching the Ocean State; it would have been easily manipulated by their Fate State enemies.

“You will be my first king-level battle pet!”

Su Ping approached the Dark Dragon Hound and laid his hand on it.

The Dark Dragon Hound was confused.

The dragon soul’s power hidden in its body was pulled out. It emanated a golden light which also radiated the aura of a dragon.

“Break!”

“Break!”

“Break!”

Su Ping broke four seals in a row. An abundant surge of energy was suddenly radiated by the pet’s body; its fur became soft and smooth, as if soaked in water.

Patches of fur were glowing from underneath, turning into gold!

That was the awakening of the Heaven Expansion Dragon bloodline in its body.

The Dark Dragon Hound became increasingly stronger when the seals were removed, soon breaking the limits and quickly rising up to the peak of the Ocean State.

The Dark Dragon Hound’s eyes became brilliantly golden, as if they contained stars.

There was also a minor confusion in its eyes.

Not only was the hidden dragon bloodline awakened when the seals were broken; some of the hereditary information was also transmitted to the hound’s mind.

It was the legacy of the Heaven Expansion Dragons that were surprisingly flying on an ancient desert.

The memory was deeply etched into the Dark Dragon Hound’s head, making it feel as if it were a real Heaven Expansion Dragon.

It began to radiate the intimidating pressure of a dragon and even made the Inferno Dragon lower its head and look at its playmate. The air of dragons exuded by the Dark Dragon Hound seemed even nobler than that of the Inferno Dragon.

The Inferno Dragon would have been awed and scared by this if they didn’t share an owner, having fought together for such a long time!

The Little Skeleton glanced at the dog but showed no reaction.

The Purple Python also looked curiously; still, it had seen too many horrifying creatures since it started following Su Ping.

Even Fate State beasts would have trembled in fear if the Dark Dragon Hound were to release its draconic aura!

Such an energy was extremely magnificent. The bloodline of the Heaven Expansion Dragons was much greater than that of the Star State. The old dragon who had transferred the legacy to the Dark Dragon Hound only had a limited level of talent; it hadn’t yet activated all its potential, only reaching the Star State in the end.

Not bad...

Su Ping nodded in satisfaction as he looked at the Dark Dragon Hound’s changes.

He looked at his pet’s stats again.

Property: Dragon Family (one seventh of demon bloodline)

Rank: Peak of the Ocean State

Combat Strength: 34.2

Aptitude: mid-high

Talent Skill: Elementary Agility Talent

Bloodline Skills: Heaven Expansion Roar, Mid-level Phantoming, Void Fire

Skills: Wind Protection, Frost Protection,Fire Protection, Earth Protection, Thunder God’s Armor... (dozens more)

...

Its combat ability rose from 26 to 34. That’s an eight-point improvement!

Su Ping was slightly surprised, but then found it understandable. After all, ascending from the advanced phase of the ninth rank to that of the Ocean State would inevitably strengthen it.

Maybe the pet can become stronger after digesting the legacy.

The hound’s previous combat ability was only normal in the Void State. After all, it was already remarkable enough to fight Void State creatures.

Void State beasts weren’t a threat, at all, unless they also had a high aptitude, including the ability to fight beyond their level.

The Mid-Level Phantoming can turn its body into a phantom, so that it’ll be immune to any physical or energy attacks? Su Ping was amazed by the Dark Dragon Hound’s skill.

The three bloodline abilities were powerful and the hound had yet to become accustomed to the new power after the release of those seals. It would become an ultra Fate State pet once it fully grasped the legacy.

However, Su Ping could only sign contracts with Void State beasts at the moment. He would have to terminate the contract if he removed the rest of the seals.

Now is the time for practicing and polishing; it has to digest the new power. Plus, I can teach my new skills to the pets... Su Ping thought.

He had only imparted the Elementary Agility Talent.

He had done that with the Enlightening Guide to activate their talents.

Su Ping currently had a Middle-rank Acceleration Guide, which was also an Enlightening Guide which could awaken a second talent.

The Middle-rank Acceleration Guide and the Elementary Agility Talent were both about speed, but they were based on different mechanisms.

So, they could perform both skills like Su Ping did.

Su Ping suddenly realized something. Why didn’t the Dark Dragon Hound cause a tribulation?

The breakthrough to the Ocean State would cause a Heavenly Tribulation. One had to go through it in order to reach the Ocean State.

However, the Dark Dragon Hound had just reached the Ocean State without enduring any tribulation!

“The tribulation will be temporarily nullified if you make a breakthrough in this shop,” said the system indifferently.

Su Ping didn’t know what to say.

He was again awed by the almighty system.

It could even nullify the Heaven’s Test? That was unimaginable!

Su Ping couldn’t help but ask, “Will the Dark Dragon Hound cause a Heavenly Tribulation if I let it walk out of the shop?”

The system said casually, “Yes, but you need to consider whether or not it’s allowed for the tribulation to happen in public, let alone being in a business area.”

Su Ping was at a loss for words. It was true that Heavenly Tribulations were banned in Woffett. Besides, nobody would do that even if they weren’t. Anyone trespassing the tribulation range would inadvertently double its power; whoever was undergoing the test could get killed because of it.

“Then, can I at least go to one of the cultivation sites...?” Su Ping could only say.

The system didn’t disapprove of the plan, so it was clearly optional.

Without a word, Su Ping summoned all his battle pets and then signed a temporary contract with Filius’s Green Alligator in the pet room. He then asked Joanna to tag along.

Let’s go!

Hardly had they reached the Demigod Burial and landed on a mountain when Su Ping detected the familiar scent of the Heavenly Tribulation.

Boom~!

Dark clouds and glittering lightning bolts began to gather above their heads.

“A Heavenly Tribulation?” Joanna was stunned and then noticed that the Dark Dragon Hound had risen to the Ocean State. She was shocked when she realized what had happened.

Su Ping’s pet had the same level back in the shop, yet no tribulation had been invoked. Why was it triggered here?

The pet broke through to the Ocean State without having gone through a tribulation?

She was quite shocked, as it suggested that Su Ping had somehow blocked the Heavenly Tribulation!

How could someone block a tribulation?

It meant that Su Ping had tricked the Heavens in his world!

Joanna’s amazement grew. Not even the Superior Gods in the Demigod Burial had ever reached the Heaven level. She had only heard that there were higher levels above the Superior God rank, and that the “Heaven” which controlled all the order in the world was alive.

The beings that were as strong as the very Heavens were already unimaginable to them!

Joanna looked forward to going to the Archean Divinity as Su Ping had promised her, but she had only felt assured until that moment.

Su Ping had a backer able to trick the Heavens; going to the Archean Divinity didn’t seem as far-fetched now.

“Let the Dark Dragon Hound take care of it.”

Su Ping then opened his mouth and asked the Little Skeleton and Joanna to retreat.

He could revive the hound even if it was killed by the lightning strikes; it was unnecessary to help it.

Joanna raised her head and saw the Dark Dragon Hound high in the sky. Its golden fur was growing and its tail was lengthening. It was covered in a hazy golden light that looked like an illusionary dragon.

The dark clouds above the Dark Dragon Hound’s head were massive.

Joanna was quite shocked by what she was seeing.

The clouds almost covered a radius spanning through a hundred kilometers!

And they were still expanding!

Five minutes later, the radius was already reaching a hundred and fifty kilometers!

The clouds were even broader than what Joanna’s reincarnation had caused when she had gone through the Heavenly Tribulation to attain the Ocean State!

Even though she didn’t use too many rare materials on that body nor cultivate any divine techniques, it had inherited her own blood which belonged to the Titan Gods anyway.

The blood of the Titan Gods alone was enough to raise her aptitude to the peak and cause the formation of clouds with a radius of a hundred kilometers!

Even so, Su Ping’s dog had surpassed her in terms of tribulation magnitude!

The range of the clouds was an indicator that the dog had the slight potential to become a Major God!

What were the Major Gods?

They were the top experts even in the Demigod Burial!

Major Gods were only second to the Gods of Rules and the Superior Gods!

Su Ping was just as surprised to see the Dark Dragon Hound’s potential. He then realized that it was probably because of the Heaven Expansion Dragons’ bloodline that had just been unsealed.

After all, that dragon race was much stronger than those that reached the Star State.

If the hound was fully unsealed and well trained to awaken all its bloodline power, it could possibly surpass the Star State and become a Star Lord. It even had a chance to reach the Ascendant State!

Boom!

The clouds were soon completely gathered and the lightning bolts struck down, enveloping the Dark Dragon Hound.

Su Ping observed with narrowed eyes from a distance, carefully examining the hazy air of judgment in the Heavenly Tribulation.
