"Are you sure you want to see my true form?" Tang Zhong’s voice came from within.

Right now, the aura on his body was already even more fearsome than the Jiao Dragon’s Breath that the giant jiao Great Demon had released just now.

When facing the giant jiao Great Demon earlier, the surrounding Demon Beast Kings had all dropped to their knees, yet the moment Tang Zhong transformed, they no longer had any power to resist at all. They directly sprawled on the ground, prostrating themselves with all five limbs.

It wasn’t that they wanted to kneel; it was the bloodline suppression forcing them, making it utterly impossible for them to control themselves.

Countless Demon Beast Kings were now staring at Tang Zhong, all wanting to know where exactly this man came from, to actually be this terrifying!

Under Tang Zhong’s suppression, the giant jiao Great Demon’s legs started to go weak at this moment, as if he were about to kneel!

Moreover, he could feel a powerful pressure coming from the other party’s body, his blood and qi rolling turbulently.

And the giant jiao Great Demon had already figured out what kind of "demon beast" his subordinate had been talking about.

That was absolutely not some ordinary demon beast.

That was clearly a Dragon!

The giant jiao Great Demon now wanted to strangle that subordinate of his to death—illiterate fool, to mistake a Dragon for a demon beast!

And now the giant jiao Great Demon also understood why his Dragon Bone could be absorbed by this person.

Because he was a Dragon. So what’s so strange about a Dragon absorbing Dragon Bone!

Then Tang Zhong looked coldly at the giant jiao Great Demon in front of him and said, "You’ve seen my true form now, haven’t you?"

"I’ve seen it... I’ve seen it!" The giant jiao Great Demon’s tone changed in an instant.

He immediately shifted from his giant jiao body into a human form, then dropped to his knees at once. "Spare my life, spare my life!"

Right now he couldn’t say anything else, because this person’s strength was truly too frightening!

Jin Guang flickered over Tang Zhong’s body; he reverted from the Giant Dragon Avatar back to normal, turning into human form. Then his gaze locked coldly onto the giant jiao Great Demon. "From now on you just answer whatever I ask. I might consider sparing your life."

He hadn’t expected the giant jiao Great Demon to surrender so easily; that did save him a lot of trouble.

Like this, there was no need to make a move.

The reason he had come looking for the giant jiao Great Demon was for something else.

For example, how that Dragon Bone had ended up in the hands of the giant jiao Great Demon!

"Alright!" the giant jiao Great Demon answered at once.

"Where exactly did you get that Dragon Bone?" Tang Zhong asked.

"That Dragon Bone, I never tampered with it at all. I just stumbled across it at that place by accident. After that I exhausted every means trying to absorb the Dragon Bone, but there was simply no way to absorb it!" the giant jiao Great Demon said.

Hearing this, Tang Zhong’s brows knitted tightly. He’d originally thought he could get more information, but he hadn’t expected to get jack all.

What the giant jiao Great Demon had just said was completely useless to him.

Why the Dragon Bone had appeared in that place, there was absolutely no trail to follow!

Seeing Tang Zhong frowning, the giant jiao Great Demon continued, "I don’t know if you have anything else you want to ask!"

"Let me ask you again: how did you discover the Dragon Bone?" Tang Zhong countered.

"That has to be traced back to many years ago!" The giant jiao Great Demon seemed to fall into his memories.

"Back then I was very young. That day, Divine Fire fell from the heavens. Fortunately it was daytime, so not many people noticed that Divine Fire descending, but I saw it, and I was very close to the impact site. I only remember that when the Divine Fire came down, the Earth collapsed and shattered completely. The area where it landed directly turned into a gigantic chasm, with no trace of life remaining within!"

"At first, no one dared to go near that place, because everyone believed going there meant certain death!"

"Later, I accidentally entered inside and saw that Dragon. And when I saw the Dragon Bone, countless images actually appeared upon the Dragon Bone—images of Dragons, as if they were fighting someone, as though they were conveying some kind of message. I originally didn’t recognize Dragons, but after seeing that thing, I came to know of the Dragon race, and I also came to understand how formidable that Dragon Bone was. If I could absorb the Dragon Bone, I might very well become like the figure in those images. Over all these years, for me to transform from a snake into the giant jiao I am today has a lot to do with that Dragon Bone!"

"All these years, I’ve been trying to find a way to absorb the Dragon Bone’s power, but I’ve never succeeded... I truly did not inflict any harm on that Dragon Bone. I beg you, my lord, please spare me!"

Finishing his words, the giant jiao Great Demon immediately knelt and kowtowed, begging for mercy.

Tang Zhong stood there pondering what the giant jiao Great Demon had said. He had grasped a few things—for instance, the origin of this Dragon Bone. The giant jiao Great Demon said the Dragon Bone contained images; that meant this Dragon Bone was a carrier!

Some Dragon had sealed the events that happened in the Dragon Realm into its bone, then sent this message out through it!

Just like that Dragon Realm youth who had arrived at the Haotian Divine Dynasty previously!

They were searching for Dragon Realm beings who were outside, existences like him, so that once they returned to the Dragon Realm, they could complete their atonement!

In the final analysis, this bone had nothing to do with how to get to the Dragon Realm! 𝐟𝕣𝕖𝐞𝐰𝕖𝚋𝐧𝗼𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝗰𝐨𝐦

As for how to enter the Dragon Realm, he still had to find a way on his own!

And while Tang Zhong was thinking, he did not notice that the giant jiao Great Demon kneeling below had lifted his head, a cold gleam in his eyes.

He seemed about to ambush Tang Zhong. He suddenly sprang up, charging straight at Tang Zhong, a blade forged from his own scales in his hand!

"Go to hell!"

The giant jiao Great Demon was greedy as well; how could he possibly let Tang Zhong go? Everything he’d said earlier was the truth, spoken precisely to relax this man’s guard so he could land a killing blow.

After all, with a true Dragon standing right before him, how could he suppress his desire to grow stronger? The power of just a Dragon Bone alone was already so great, enabling him to become a formidable figure among Great Demons. If he could completely absorb an entire Dragon, then his metamorphosis into an Ancient Demon was extremely likely!

So the giant jiao Great Demon struck.

His plan was quite good, but he’d forgotten one thing—Tang Zhong’s strength.

At the very instant the giant jiao Great Demon made his move, Tang Zhong had already sensed it. The other party had acted. He jerked his head up, his pupils locking with those of the giant jiao Great Demon before him. "Originally, if you’d stayed kneeling on the ground, I might have let you off. But now you stand up—that’s courting death. A Great Demon is a Great Demon, always a beast that can’t be domesticated. Creatures like you should have died long ago. Humans must never show you any mercy!"

The moment the giant jiao Great Demon’s eyes met Tang Zhong’s, he felt fear. But now that he’d already made his move, there was no turning back, so he had to attack; otherwise everything would be for nothing!

"Die!"

Scale Blade in hand!

But Tang Zhong simply stretched out his hand; his hand transformed into a Dragon Claw and he snatched out in one grab!
