Chapter 899 -899 Red Dragon Queen
Li Yao didn’t dissolve the Black Dragon Empress this time; instead, he just let her follow him, as Li Yao had said, he had all the time in the world to slowly toy with the Black Dragon Empress.
Ronin and Vereesa looked at the Black Dragon Empress with curiosity, their hearts filled with amazement; they hadn’t entirely believed what Li Yao had said before.
After all, who was the Black Dragon Empress? She was monstrously strong, and the thought of making her into a battle pet seemed far too exaggerated, but to their surprise, Li Yao had really done it. Although the Black Dragon Empress appeared unwilling, it seemed she had no choice at all.
As a Ranger, she was very familiar with contracts. The contracts of the beast gods tended toward a balance, and even though they were also a type of controlling contract, they had to be signed either by luring or by the willing consent of the beast or insect.
Moreover, she was clearer on the fact that even after signing such a contract, the restrictions it placed on the Black Dragon Empress were not significant.
Though a demigod, the beast god was actually lying dormant or asleep, and some even said the beast god had perished in the great ancient war.
Of course, even without those speculations, the beast god in its prime would have to give way to the Black Dragon Empress, and it would probably be no match for the guardian Dragon King.
“Hahaha, now I understand, you are not devotees of any church, you are probably here to rescue the Red Dragon Queen,” the Black Dragon Empress was incredibly clever. Just from a subtle and low exchange between the three, she had already grasped their intentions.
Vereesa sneered, “You’d better keep your mouth shut.”
“Then lock me up, or who knows whether I might say something or not,” the Black Dragon Empress wouldn’t be unaware of Li Yao’s purpose in summoning her. She knew her absolute disadvantage and needed time to think of a way out, so she didn’t want to waste her energy contending with Li Yao.
“You can say whatever you like, but let me remind you, I can help you heal your wounds, but I can also trigger the curse within you. You should be aware that having made a contract with me, even if you died, I could revive you. I’ve heard you’ve suppressed the curse for ten thousand years, but I’m quite curious to see just how strong your will is. Perhaps you could hold out ten or twenty times, but what if it were a hundred or a thousand times? I’m really curious how strong the will of a near demigod who has lived for who knows how many tens of thousands of years is.”
Li Yao’s words were very calm, but to the ears of the Black Dragon Empress, they sounded like thunder, leaving her incredibly angry. Yet, hidden within that anger was deep fear.
Though she had endured for ten thousand years, it was merely suppression; the pain was something no creature beneath a demigod could withstand. It was not just a physical corrosion and dissolution but also a relentless grinding, squeezing of the soul, demolishing the spirit.
Forget a thousand times; even a hundred might leave her spirit completely broken. She didn’t dare imagine herself groveling at his feet, and she shuddered at the thought.
Seeing the Black Dragon Empress fall silent, Ronin and Vereesa both laughed, which seemed to confirm that Li Yao had indeed firmly suppressed this powerful being. At the same time, in their hearts, there was not the slightest doubt about Li Yao becoming a supreme powerhouse.
It took a while before the Black Dragon Empress spoke again, “Then I will watch how you fail. You have no idea of the kind of existence you are about to face.”
Li Yao laughed too, “Then you just watch closely and see whether I know or not.”
Time passed quickly, and Nekros finally had someone take Li Yao and the others over, the three of them showing a hint of excitement.
Whether the mission could be completed and how to do so was key in a moment. But Li Yao was still very confident.
“Brother, follow me; just ahead is the Dragon Knight Base.”
Under Nekros’s lead, they passed through a massive portal, and then the view suddenly opened up.
Li Yao saw the ground covered with Red Dragon Eggs, each with dark arrays releasing streams of energy into them, and everyone could hear the pulse of the eggs.
Some Red Dragons were emitting mournful cries, gazing sorrowfully at the eggs below yet completely powerless to intervene.
“There are actually so many Dragon Knights,” Li Yao said in surprise.
Nekros said proudly, “Of course, these are all recruits, being trained in how to become qualified Dragon Knights.”
Li Yao feigned admiration and said, “What an eye-opener! The Dragon Throat Clan possesses such strong combat power and will sooner or later dominate the Ancient Gods.”
Nekros burst into laughter, “Then I’ll take that as your blessed words, brother.”
The Black Dragon Queen sneered, “These Red Dragons are nothing but defective goods, heh, if my guess is right, they have a lifespan of at most three to four years. Of course, that’s a positive estimate. If catalyzed too fiercely, their lifespan will be even shorter.”
Nekros’s laughter came to an abrupt halt, and Li Yao gave the Black Dragon Queen a glare, pretending to be shocked as he said, “Is that true?”
“Ahem, that’s the gist of it, but the lifespan could be as much as ten years. Your subordinate may not be entirely correct, but she does have some insight,” Nekros said, his heart filled with shock. He hadn’t expected a Skeleton to have such knowledge and found himself looking at the Black Dragon Queen a few times more.
The Black Dragon Queen pretended not to notice Li Yao’s look, “Heh, keep on pretending. These Dragon Eggs in your hands are simply a waste of heaven’s gifts. Do you not know, under the best hatching conditions, normal Dragon Eggs need at least a few hundred years to hatch, and sometimes even two or three thousand years. Yet, you’ve had them hatch in a matter of months and then accelerated their maturation, nearly burning through their long immortal lives.”
Knowing he could no longer conceal the truth from her, Nekros earnestly said, “Friend, do you have a more reliable method?”
The Black Dragon Queen sneered and said no more. Although the Black Dragons were traitors, even after Deathwing had destroyed most of the Blue Dragon Tribe, they did not completely exterminate the Black Dragons.
They simply left them be. She wasn’t Deathwing, and she still felt for the Dragon Clan. Her scheming was certainly selfish, but that didn’t mean she lacked the desire to save the Red Dragon Queen; she simply hadn’t managed to do so. Moreover, she knew who was lurking behind this city and dared not make any rash moves.
In the midst of their conversation, everyone finally saw a towering figure.
The city was thousands of yards high, but this giant figure lay prostrate on the ground, almost touching the ceiling, in a specially carved out mountaintop large enough to accommodate her Dragon Form.
Although the figure was imposing, it did not carry the Black Dragon Queen’s wild and dominating aura.
Instead, it exuded a passionate, gentle warmth. Her entire body was pink, and upon closer inspection, one could see her body seemed to be immersed in faint pink flames.
The Dragon Horns adorned with golden rings were full of beauty, but her whole presence was sacred and pure, inviolable.

From afar, Li Yao could see the Red Dragon Queen’s eyes. Although imprisoned, they remained calm, with only occasional flashes of profound sorrow…
