A flicker of shock flashed in his eyes.
Because a dagger was pressed against his throat.
The dagger was incredibly sharp, its edge fully revealed.
If it had moved forward another inch, his head would have been severed.
The Flood Dragon's body trembled.
A fine layer of sweat broke out on his forehead.
If Chu Chen hadn't retreated in time, he would have already lost his head.
"Human brat, I admit you are strong. I concede defeat!"
The Flood Dragon's tone carried a hint of unwillingness.
Chu Chen glanced at it indifferently.
"Since you admit defeat, then scram!"
The Flood Dragon's mouth twitched violently.
He never expected that he, the majestic Flood Dragon King, would yield to a lowly human.
"Brat, don't think that just because you can cut off one of my arms, I have no way to deal with you!
I will use this arm to kill you now, making your life worse than death!"
The Flood Dragon let out a cold roar and raised his right arm.
In the next moment, the dragon scales on his right arm erupted with brilliant dragon light, shooting straight into the sky!
He flapped his dragon wings and swung his dragon tail, smashing directly towards Chu Chen.
"Rumble!"
This time, the Flood Dragon's power was even more formidable than before, and the entire void trembled.
The Flood Dragon's speed was astonishingly fast, and in the blink of an eye, he was in front of Chu Chen.
The Flood Dragon's dragon claws fiercely clawed at Chu Chen.
Chu Chen let out a cold snort, his wrist twisted, and he grabbed the Flood Dragon's wrist.
The muscles on Chu Chen's arm bulged, and with a violent swing, he flung the Flood Dragon's arm away.
"Bang!"
The Flood Dragon crashed heavily to the ground, dazed and disoriented.
"You little bastard, you dare to injure me?"
"Today, I will surely make you die without a burial place!"
The Flood Dragon roared in anger.
"You are the one who will die!"
Chu Chen said calmly.
The Flood Dragon's body moved, and he pounced at Chu Chen again.
Chu Chen let out a cold snort, holding the Dragon Roar Sword, and thrust it directly towards the Flood Dragon's chest.
"Pfft!"
The Dragon Roar Sword pierced the Flood Dragon's chest, leaving a long gash within.
A drop of bright red blood flowed down the hilt.
"Ah... you actually dare to break my armor!"
The Flood Dragon cried out in pain.
"Didn't you want me to die without a burial place? Isn't this me helping you to die without a burial place!"
Chu Chen's calm voice echoed in the Flood Dragon's ears.
In the next moment, Chu Chen swung the Dragon Roar Sword, directly severing the Flood Dragon's limbs and crippling his cultivation.
"You little bastard, you're ruthless! But, one day, I will tear you to shreds!"
The Flood Dragon's eyes were filled with hatred as he stared at Chu Chen and shouted hoarsely.
Chu Chen looked at the Flood Dragon with disdain: "Want revenge? You're not qualified yet!"
With that, Chu Chen turned and left.
Chu Chen's body instantly returned to the cave.
As Chu Chen returned to the cave, a wave of intense pain spread throughout his body.
The source of this pain was the Flood Dragon's dragon soul, which was raging wildly.
"Damn you, I won't let you go!"
Chu Chen sat down cross-legged, circulated his cultivation technique, and suppressed the intense pain in his body.
"Brat, my dragon soul can not only harm you, but also absorb your true essence and divine abilities.
This will be of great help to me."
The Flood Dragon King's voice echoed in Chu Chen's sea of consciousness.
Chu Chen frowned: "This isn't very good, after all, we only have a transactional relationship. I don't owe you anything."
The Flood Dragon King chuckled: "Brat, don't worry, I will absolutely not take control of your body.
This way, you can freely unleash your divine abilities and martial arts!"
Chu Chen pondered for a long time and finally agreed to the Flood Dragon King's proposal.
"Alright, I hope you keep your word!"
Chu Chen's body once again disappeared from the cave.
A bronze-colored radiance surged from his body, enveloping him.
His aura also climbed steadily, soon reaching the peak of the Saint realm.
"Now, I can unleash the third form of the 'Overlord Divine Palm'!"
Chu Chen took a deep breath and slowly exhaled.
"Boom!"
A powerful and vast energy wave swept out from Chu Chen's surroundings.
Chu Chen's fist seemed to carry a star, crushing the void and blasting towards the Flood Dragon King's dragon soul!
"Bang!"
The Flood Dragon King's dragon soul instantly shattered.
"Not bad, not bad. Although your strength is weak, you have comprehended the third form of the 'Overlord Divine Palm'.
It should be enough to deal with ordinary demon emperors!"
The Flood Dragon King's eyes showed satisfaction.
Chu Chen's strength surprised him.
Chu Chen's talent exceeded his expectations.
He originally thought that Chu Chen would definitely not survive this assessment.
But unexpectedly, Chu Chen passed the assessment and obtained a spot to enter the Dragon Tomb.
"However, that little fellow is probably going to be unlucky!"
The Flood Dragon King sneered repeatedly.
He knew that Chu Chen was a successor of the Dragon Emperor of the Dragon Realm.
The Dragon Emperor's children all possessed heaven-defying aptitude.
He didn't believe that Chu Chen would encounter dragon experts in the Dragon Tomb.
Although Chu Chen's strength was formidable, he couldn't be a match for dragon experts!
Even the most top-tier experts among the dragon race might not be Chu Chen's match!
"Just wait, kid, in the Dragon Tomb, your strength will only be able to be utilized at most half!"
...
Time passed.
In the blink of an eye, two more months had gone by.
During this period, Chu Chen had been diligently cultivating in seclusion.
During this time, he had refined a total of nine Dragon Crystals.
All nine Dragon Crystals were completely devoured by him.
The pure energy from the Dragon Crystals caused earth-shattering changes within Chu Chen's body.
The Dragon Crystals contained immense energy, and Chu Chen felt that his body was filled with tremendous potential.
"This time, my strength should be able to advance by leaps and bounds!"
Chu Chen murmured to himself.
He now possessed ten thousand jin of dragon power, one hundred and fifty billion jin of strength, and ten million jin of strength.
Chu Chen estimated that this time, he would be able to exert a strength of around one hundred and fifty million jin.
A strength of one hundred and fifty million jin, such power, would likely rank among the top three in the entire Dragon race.
"All of this is thanks to the Dragon Crystals!"
Chu Chen murmured to himself.
"Now, I can enter the Dragon Tomb!"
A look of excitement appeared on Chu Chen's face.
He was eager to witness what treasures the Dragon Tomb held.
Chu Chen strode out of the cave and into the valley outside the Dragon Tomb.
On the mountain wall outside the valley, thick vines hung down.
At the end of the vines, bright lanterns were hung.
These lanterns were carved with ancient runes and emitted a hazy glow.
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh!"
Several sounds of wind breaking suddenly rang out, and a group of men in golden robes streaked from afar.
"Why are you here so late?"
Chu Chen's gaze swept over them, and his eyes narrowed.
Behind this group of golden-robed men stood over twenty Saints.
"You are Chu Chen? You have been here for a month, do you know your crime?"
An older man with a stern voice shouted.
