Chapter 120: The Eternal Flame of the Phosphorus Dragon
Chapter 120: The Eternal Flame of the Phosphorus Dragon
The True Dragonfolk held their lineage in extremely high regard, and their bloodline was intimately linked to dragons themselves. Over time, this evolved into a series of ruling families centered around dragons.
The strength of the dragon breed determined the nobility of the bloodline, and thus the power of the family.
The Phosphorus Dragon was a subspecies of the "Flame Dragon."
While not the most elite of the Flame Dragon bloodlines, it was still a formidable dragon breed that common folk could only aspire to.
Within the True Dragon Empire, there existed a family that had tamed the Phosphorus Dragons and passed down their secrets from generation to generation. Their bloodline was that of the Phosphorus Dragon, and their family name was thus "Phosphorus."
The Phosphorus Family.
Located on the southern border of the Empire, they ruled over vast territories, directly governing multiple planets and indirectly managing several vassal states of the southern Empire, including the Skyfeather King's Court.
In a sense, the Phosphorus Family was the overlord of these vassal states and represented the True Dragon Empire.
Hence, the Phosphorus Dragon was the only dragon one would ever see in the Thousand Peaks Abyssal Woods.
Whenever this yellowish-brown True Dragon appeared in the skies, it signaled the arrival of a member of the Phosphorus Family.
To Earth, the Phosphorus Family was like a lord of lords—too distant and lofty, almost an unattainable symbol, with no chance of intersection.
Earth's knowledge of the True Dragon Empire was limited to scraps and fragments associated with the Phosphorus Family.
Beyond that, they knew virtually nothing.
"That man is clearly a member of the Phosphorus Family!" Qi Xinghu remarked as he gazed in the direction of the Phosphorus Dragon's descent, his heart already filled with little hope.
Within the True Dragon families, only those who became Dragon Lords were considered truly legitimate heirs.
And among them, those who possessed a family bloodline dragon were the core of the legitimate lineage. This man already had a Phosphorus Dragon, a Flood Dragon no less, so his status within the family was unquestionable.
This was evident from the attitudes of the two legendary Dragon Lords.
Qi Xinghu shook his head.
With his current strength, the probability of obtaining that wondrous object was almost zero. Aside from the two Emperors and two Legends in the Imperial Embassy, even if he had the chance to face this man in a one-on-one battle, his chances of victory were slim.
Taking a step back, even if he somehow managed to defeat this man and obtain the object, how would he face the retribution of the Phosphorus Family?
This wasn't just about him.
If his identity were exposed, Earth might be implicated, plunging the entire planet into irreparable disaster!
"It's too risky..."
Qi Xinghu sighed, realizing that he would have to bide his time and wait until he became stronger before attempting anything. At least now he knew his target and could plan accordingly.
For the rest of the day, he made no further moves. He strolled through the skies of Yunxiao City, taking in the spectacular night view and sampling exotic delicacies.
Then he returned to his hotel to rest.
In the latter half of the night, Qi Xinghu opened his eyes in his sleep.
Through his magnetic field sensing, he detected the return of the Phosphorus Dragon. The man rode on the dragon's back, returned it to its cave, and then retired to his room to sleep.
The next day, the man rose early, his spirit and energy seemingly restored. He once again practiced martial arts in the training field with the legendary Dragon Lord. His stellar power and physical abilities were exceptionally robust, far surpassing ordinary Superhumans. He could fight continuously for over a dozen hours without showing any signs of fatigue.
It must be said that this man's strength was genuinely formidable.
Even without the necklace around his neck, his martial arts rank was extraordinarily high, undoubtedly at the Master level. Setting aside his martial arts, his physical attributes were also outrageously robust—his strength, speed, defense, and explosive power were all exceptional, and he had extensive combat experience.
Among Superhumans, it would be challenging to find someone stronger than him. If he were on Earth, he would easily rank among the top ten on the Tower!
"Truly worthy of a Dragon Lord!"
Qi Xinghu couldn't help but feel a twinge of envy for such talent.
The descendants of the True Dragon families were born with powerful supernatural abilities, inherited from their ancestors' connection with dragons. This bloodline, integrated into their very being, was passed down from generation to generation.
This talent, known as "Dragonblood," set them apart from ordinary humans and marked them as True Dragonfolk.
"Dragonblood" was a super-limit ability that caused the bodies of True Dragonfolk to become stronger and more robust as they aged. Their skin became tough and resilient, they were naturally endowed with immense strength, and their speed and reactions far surpassed those of regular humans.
Most importantly, True Dragonfolk with "Dragonblood" had the chance to awaken as "Dragonveiners," beings recognized by dragons as their kin. Once they gained a dragon's acknowledgment, they could establish a symbiotic relationship, with the Dragon Lord drawing power and abilities from the dragon.
In turn, the Dragon Lord could enhance the dragon's life evolution with their stellar power, accelerating its growth and awakening more abilities.
Dragon Lords could also fuse with other abilities, typically choosing "Symbiotic Fusion."
This allowed the Dragon Lord and the dragon to share abilities, forging an even stronger bond and mutually enhancing their powers.
Earth also had its Dragon Lords.
This profession was created by referencing the True Dragon Empire's Dragon Lords, but Earthlings lacked the "Dragonblood" talent and had no "Dragonveiners." As such, their strength paled in comparison to genuine Dragon Lords.
Moreover, a Dragon Lord's strength was dependent on their dragon.
The dragons of Earth's Dragon Lords were mostly weaker breeds, referred to as "pseudo-dragons" by the True Dragonfolk. Whether in terms of combat power or potential, they fell far short of the Phosphorus Dragon.
As dusk fell, the Dragon Lord mounted his Phosphorus Dragon and departed from the Imperial Embassy once more, flying in the same direction as the day before.
Intrigued, Qi Xinghu left the hotel and followed.
The Phosphorus Dragon landed on another mountain peak about ten kilometers away, and it took Qi Xinghu over an hour to slowly make his way there, walking along the winding mountain path.
"So this is the entertainment district."
Qi Xinghu's magnetic field sensing scanned the surroundings, and he understood immediately.
The mountain peak was a den of debauchery, with bars, nightclubs, and private clubs hidden amidst garden-like trees. There were also many intimate venues where men and women indulged in pleasure, their exotic attire and strength indicating they were members of the upper echelons of Yunxiao City.
With Queen Ayaki's longevity celebration approaching, Yunxiao City was bustling with foreigners.
However, race was never an issue and only added to the excitement.
"Is this really allowed?"
"Ugh..."
"That position is too exotic; aren't they afraid of breaking something?"
Although Qi Xinghu could only make out their movements through the shape of their magnetic fields and not actual images, some things were eye-opening even with just the outlines.
"Holy sht!"
Qi Xinghu suddenly caught sight of a group of "people," and in that instant, his brain felt like it had been flashed by a bright light as he exclaimed in his mind, "My eyes..."
He immediately shut off the magnetic field sensing in that direction.
Fearing that he might see even more obscene things, he quickened his pace up the mountain.
The massive size of the Phosphorus Dragon made it easy to locate.
At that moment, the Phosphorus Dragon was lying in a spacious courtyard, its eyes half-closed. Several winged guards kept watch from a distance, not daring to approach.
And its master was in the room next to the courtyard.
He was not alone.
Qi Xinghu found the Dragon Lord, naked and surrounded by eight equally bare bodies. From their shapes, most appeared to be human, but three were winged people.
"He sure has diverse tastes," Qi Xinghu commented.
From his angle, the features of the winged people were indeed unique, though not exactly unattractive. Their facial features, aside from their noses, resembled those of humans.
However, there were two things about the winged people that Qi Xinghu found unacceptable.
First, their hands and feet were like claws, with pointed nails and thick layers of calloused skin, resembling chicken claws.
According to human aesthetic standards, they had no beauty at all.
Second, the winged people had feathers on their legs, necks, and heads, instead of hair. This did nothing to arouse Qi Xinghu.
However, the Dragon Lord seemed unbothered by these features and appeared even more stimulated. At that moment, he was vigorously thrusting into a female winged person beneath him.
Qi Xinghu watched for a moment.
"Impressive!"
"He can even do it like that!"
Qi Xinghu was full of admiration.
He casually sat down in a garden by the street, taking in the night view of Yunxiao City.
From time to time, he activated his magnetic field sensing to observe the situation.
The Dragon Lord had tremendous stamina, as eight humans and winged people took turns, yet he defeated them all. After two hours, he switched to a new group, showing no signs of tiring as he continued with his revelry. In total, he went through three groups of people before finally concluding his indulgences in the latter half of the night.
Then, he had a large table of delicious food brought to him, devouring it all.
As he ate, he drank.
He polished off the entire table of food, accompanied by several bottles of aged fine wine, and then belched loudly before mounting the Phosphorus Dragon. With the gazes of attendants and guards upon him, he took off into the sky.
"He truly lives up to being a Dragon Lord!"
Qi Xinghu watched as the Phosphorus Dragon flew back toward the Imperial Embassy, once again filled with admiration.
The Dragon Lord had practiced martial arts for over a dozen hours during the day and spent seven to eight hours indulging in pleasure at night, yet he still seemed full of energy, eating and drinking without restraint. He truly had an iron-forged body.
Upon further reflection, such a lifestyle was indeed enviable.
As the Dragon Lord of the Phosphorus Family, these indulgences were insignificant and did not constitute bad habits.
Qi Xinghu slowly made his way back to his hotel, following behind.
In the following days, he noticed that the Dragon Lord led a very disciplined life. During the day, he practiced martial arts at the Imperial Embassy, and at night, he sought pleasure at a fixed nightclub. However, the people attending to him were different every day, and in addition to humans and winged people, he occasionally indulged with other races, showcasing his incredibly broad tastes.
Although Qi Xinghu understood the Dragon Lord's pattern, he had no plans or opportunities to act.
During the day, Qi Xinghu often visited restaurants and shops near the Imperial Embassy, occasionally hearing stories about the Dragon Lord.
Indeed, some people recognized him.
The Dragon Lord's name was "Yongfeng of the Phosphorus Flame," and he was the sixth-generation offspring of the current Phosphorus Dragon King of the Phosphorus Family. At 19 years old (35 years old in Earth years), he had displayed extraordinary martial arts talent from a young age and was considered the strongest among the Dragon Lords of his generation in the Phosphorus Family.
In the True Dragon Empire, Yongfeng was a peerless genius, deeply favored by the Phosphorus Dragon King.
For Queen Ayaki's longevity celebration, the Phosphorus Dragon King had sent a congratulatory group, and Yongfeng had joined them, accompanying his elders to Yunxiao City to broaden his horizons.
