Spiritual Energy Revival: Transform Into a Divine Phoenix, Automatically Upgrade

233: Chapter 233 The Death of the Black Dragon...Several hours later, the sun gradually sank into the west, the sky dimming. A faint silhouette of a red moon high in the sky began to glow with an alluring, crimson hue.

At this moment, the earth-shattering roar of artillery at the edge of the Qinling Mountains finally fell silent. After five hours of intense combat, the ten-thousand-strong army of Jianghai City had finally defeated the beast tide.

”Report, Commander! Under the protection of the reconnaissance team, the scientific research team has collected a large number of biological specimens from the giant crater!”

”Well done. Pass down the order: quickly regroup, transport the wounded, and return to the city immediately.”

”Yes!”

Having issued the order, the burly middle-aged man silently gazed out at the battlefield ahead.

Smoke filled the air, and the earth was a charred expanse of black, emitting wisps of white smoke. Craters from missiles were visible everywhere, along with the bodies of countless beast creatures, among which were many soldiers from their Jianghai City.

Division Commander Wu’s expression was grim.

”These beast creatures are truly insane...”

Originally, he had planned to saturate the area with heavy firepower, intending to deter the beasts with overwhelming force and force them to retreat voluntarily.

However, to his shock, after being struck by their heavy firepower, these beast creatures not only failed to retreat but instead rushed toward the giant crater with even greater urgency.

Division Commander Wu’s mission this time was the same as that of the tens of thousands of beasts: the scattered flesh and blood of the Black Flood Dragon in the giant crater.

For other creatures, this was a shortcut to evolution through consumption; for humans, it was a precious experimental material that could allow them to understand the mysteries contained within mythical dragon-type creatures.

Therefore, he had no choice but to abort his plan and commit his troops to the battlefield. The crazed, wounded beasts caused the casualty count of his troops to skyrocket.

”The number of casualties this time is at least over a thousand... Fortunately, the mission was completed successfully, otherwise it would truly be...”

Although the army had suffered heavy casualties, he understood the importance of this mission.

After seeing the dragon-type creature flee and the Ancient Divine Phoenix give chase, the leaders of Jianghai City had anticipated the possibility of such a situation and quickly mobilized a division of ten thousand troops to rush here.

Fortunately, the lingering aura of the Black Flood Dragon and Ye Yang had delayed the movement of the tens of thousands of beasts; otherwise, the Jianghai City army’s operation would certainly have returned empty-handed.

”The appearance of spiritual energy substances—these evolved, mutated beasts are truly terrifying...”

”In the future, they will definitely become a major threat to our Jianghai City... and even all of humanity on Blue Star!”

Division Commander Wu gazed deeply into the distant, rugged primeval forest, the direction in which the tens of thousands of beasts had fled.

”Sigh, I hope our human research on spiritual energy substances will see breakthrough progress...”

He looked up at the sky, where the alluring, pale red moon was gradually brightening.

”We must leave the wilderness quickly; those beasts will become even crazier after nightfall!”

… Just as the Jianghai City army was slaughtering the tens of thousands of beasts.

In the southern suburbs of Jianghai City, at the summit of Divine Phoenix Mountain, a brilliant red figure descended, dragging a massive black creature.

Boom! The Black Flood Dragon’s body, weighing tens or even hundreds of tons, crashed onto the summit of Divine Phoenix Mountain, causing the entire mountain to tremble!

”Chirp chirp! Big Brother!”

”Did you really finish off this stingy dragon?!”

Little White Fox Ah Li scurried over, circling the Black Flood Dragon’s massive body, her large, pink, glistening fox eyes filled with wonder.

Her eyes lit up!

She held up her phone and kept taking pictures of the Black Flood Dragon.

”Chirp chirp! It’s such a pity I wasn’t at the scene and missed Big Brother’s magnificent moment...”

She had originally worried about Ye Yang and wanted to bring Panda Xiong Er and Monkey King Wukong to follow behind, but after seeing the speed of the Black Flood Dragon and Ye Yang in the sky, she abandoned that idea.

To the side, Panda Xiong Er and Monkey King Wukong looked at the massive creature before them with eyes full of shock and fear.

”Roar... what a huge and terrifying creature...”

Both Panda Xiong Er and Monkey King Wukong were affected by the terrifying aura emanating from the Black Flood Dragon; their bodies trembled involuntarily, and they took a few steps back.

However, upon noticing that the big guy before them was motionless, lying on the ground covered in blood, they breathed a sigh of relief.

Xiong Er blinked his dark panda eyes and cautiously stepped forward.

”ROAR!!!”

A majestic dragon roar resounded, making Xiong Er’s body tremble. He couldn’t control himself and retreated, rolling backward like a black-and-white ball.

”Roar... this big guy is alive!”

Xiong Er roared in panic, simultaneously darting behind a dragon blood tree to hide.

”Roar!” Monkey King Wukong roared, raising his large hands and assuming a fighting stance.

Little White Fox Ah Li, who was busy taking pictures, was also startled by the sudden sound and darted behind Ye Yang.

”Chirp chirp! You scared me to death! Big Brother, why didn’t you kill him? Could there be something wrong with this stingy dragon?”

Facing the Little White Fox’s confusion, Ye Yang spoke calmly.

”No... this Black Flood Dragon is still of some use to me alive. Its evolutionary level is very high, and it knows many things about the deep underground of Blue Star.”

”Besides... Ah Li, observe carefully. This creature is not a dragon at all; it is merely a mixed-blood flood dragon.”

”Chirp chirp... a mixed-blood flood dragon?”

Little White Fox Ah Li blinked her pink fox eyes, peering up and down at the Black Flood Dragon.

”Chirp chirp... it really doesn’t seem to be a dragon-type creature... I was just wondering, how could a dragon-type creature be so weak...”

”Roar... you ants actually dare to insult me!”

Pfft! The Black Flood Dragon woke up from its unconscious state and was enraged upon hearing the conversation between Ye Yang and Little White Fox Ah Li, but before it could finish speaking, a mouthful of pale golden blood sprayed out.

It could only glare angrily at Ye Yang with its left eye.

Ye Yang also gazed into the Black Flood Dragon’s left eye and spoke bluntly and directly, ”Tell me all the information about your origins, as well as matters regarding the resurgence of spiritual energy and the return of the ten thousand races.”

The Black Flood Dragon’s only massive left pupil froze, ”You, this ant... do not know your own origins?”

”How is this possible... Inherited information is deep within our bodies; as long as the evolutionary level increases, it can be gradually awakened...”

”You are clearly an evolved creature at the Great Lord level; how could you ask this question? Could it be that you are mocking me?!”

The Black Flood Dragon, whose entire body was sprawled on the ground, stared straight at Ye Yang’s calm golden pupils with its left eye, and suddenly froze, because it thought of a terrifying possibility.

”Could it be that you, this ant, are a native creature of this land?! How is this possible... Spiritual energy has only just appeared; the evolutionary level cannot possibly increase this quickly!”

Ye Yang interrupted the Black Flood Dragon’s muttering, ”Answer my previous question, mixed-blood flood dragon.”

The Black Flood Dragon struggled to lift its head, its abyss-like maw, covered in pale golden blood, revealing a cold sneer. This expression and gesture already made its intentions clear.

Ye Yang did not waste words; a beam of colorful energy shot out from his wings, piercing the Black Flood Dragon’s massive head.

The Black Flood Dragon’s only left pupil instantly dimmed, and the aura on its body rapidly weakened.
