Chapter 1262 - 1288: Sun Stone

"There are many impossible things, this is just the beginning. Come, let me see just how powerful this Nether Dragon truly is," Lin Feng proclaimed loudly.

If someone saw two gigantic dragons conversing in the sky at this moment, they would certainly be astonished. In the Netherworld, Nether Dragons rarely reveal their true form, unless faced with an emergency. Furthermore, the number of Nether Dragons is extremely rare, yet here black and golden dragons appear together, which might just become a myth of the Netherworld.

The Beast King glanced at Lin Feng and felt deflated. After transforming into a dragon form, the oppressive pressure of Lin Feng’s bloodline left him only able to express half of his power. The opponent was already formidable beyond imagination, and now with his strength halved, seeking to fight would undoubtedly lead to death.

Moreover, within the inherited memories of the Dragon Race, a Nine-Clawed Golden Dragon is the presence of Ancestral Dragon, to whom any dragon regardless of rank must submit as King. Attacking a king at this moment would bring divine retribution, even if the Beast King were foolish, he wouldn’t make such a mistake.

Immediately, his body transformed back into human form and landed on the ground. Lin Feng was somewhat puzzled by this change, but he also turned back into human form. His purpose had been achieved, but he wasn’t sure if the Nether Dragon would perform the Heaven-Defying skill like the Nine Divine Dragon Transformations.

The Golden Dragon King of the Beast Race could perform it before, if the Nether Dragon could, defeating him would indeed require effort. But now it seems unnecessary, so he quietly stood on the ground watching this proud Beast King.

"Not fighting anymore? What are your thoughts at this moment?" Lin Feng asked calmly.

The Beast King’s expression was uncertain as though making an important decision, then he knelt directly down. It should be known that the Dragon Race is a most noble race, kneeling would only occur in unavoidable circumstances, otherwise, they fight to the death rather than surrender.

"It’s the Nether Dragon with eyes but no vision that doesn’t realize the King has arrived in the Netherworld, please punish me, majesty!" The Beast King said to Lin Feng.

"Rise, those unaware are not guilty. You are an essential member of the Dragon Race, with exceptionally high bloodline at that. I am reassured that the Netherworld’s Dragon Race is under your governance. I understand you may have many doubts, and some might be unwilling, but remember just one thing: I can kill you for real with just one move.

Regarding the Nine Divine Dragon Transformations of the Dragon Race, you should comprehend. How many transformations have you learned? Compared to the Ancestral Dragon, there is surely a huge gap. As for myself, I naturally master all nine transformations. Here another point is also vital: my martial skills hail from the Divine Realm, in the Divine Realm, they are top-tier martial skills. If not for your descent from the Dragon Race, I would have long since killed you," Lin Feng said calmly, though the aura of a sovereign king only increased.

The Beast King stood up and after looking at Lin Feng, asked, "What is the King’s purpose of visiting the Netherworld this time? If there’s need of the Nether Dragon, the Nether Dragon will do everything in its power."

"You’re very smart and know how to read the situation, I’m pleased. This time my visit to the Netherworld is primarily for one thing, which is to see my son and woman. I wish to see how they are doing after ascending to the Netherworld, whether they have been bullied. Now that I know the results, I am quite satisfied," Lin Feng laughed.

The Beast King suddenly recalled Chu Cheng, who transformed into a Golden Dragon in the arena. This lad’s combat power reached an astonishing ninety, an unprecedented existence, further proving Lin Feng’s extraordinary identity.

"Now that the King has found them, is there anything further planned? The Netherworld with King Lin and King Gu already dead is sure to experience upheaval, then the Hidden Clan will seize the opportunity to enter, perhaps turning the Netherworld into another realm," the Beast King mentioned.

"You need not worry about that; even if the opponent is powerful, I will not fear them with my presence. Now, I just want Cheng’er to peacefully grow in the Netherworld, while Princess Yiyi returns to the Immortal Realm with me. However, all this will wait for Qingyou and Cheng’er’s wedding to conclude first," Lin Feng stated.

"Majesty might not know, people of the Netherworld generally cannot appear in the Immortal Realm; the Immortal Realm’s sunlight is our nemesis, under its exposure, it feels like thousands of ants gnawing at the heart, such a feeling is unbearable," the Beast King revealed.

Lin Feng was shocked upon hearing this and immediately asked, "In countless ages past there was war between the Netherworld and the Immortal Realm, how was it avoided? Could the people of the Netherworld then not fear the Immortal Realm’s sunlight?"

"Certainly not. The Netherworld once had a formidable Alchemist who crafted a Sun Stone overcoming sunlight. Owning a Sun Stone, one would not fear the Immortal Realm’s sunlight and could live as if in the Immortal Realm as usual.

But now there is nobody capable of crafting Sun Stones, which is why the Netherworld cannot launch attacks on the Immortal Realm. Sun Stones have two kinds: crafted ones and natural ones. Natural Sun Stones are exceedingly rare; I’ve only found limited references in ancient texts," the Beast King said.

Lin Feng grew more puzzled as he listened, then asked, "Where do natural Sun Stones appear? What do they truly look like? Please explain this to me clearly."

The Beast King paused before putting the Copper Hammer into a Storage Ring and said, "Sun Stones are fiery red crystals surrounded by a faint layer of heat which Netherworld people can absorb but Immortal Realm folks cannot. Once the Sun Stone’s energy is absorbed, it results in combustion.

Legends depict Sun Stones as tears of the Ancient Divine Beast Golden Crow. Why the Netherworld hosted Golden Crows is unknown, but ancient records describe the Alchemist capturing a Golden Crow to craft Sun Stones, then using Lower Grade Nether Stones for replacement due to their abundant quantity and required energy.

However, the crafted Sun Stones have a considerable flaw in their short duration, lasting only about ten days. After ten days, if appearing in the Immortal Realm, the sunlight would harm the body—one reason why despite superior strength, the Netherworld army was defeated by the Immortal Realm force," the Beast King explained.

The more Lin Feng listened, the more fascinating it seemed. He felt Sun Stones might be crucial to him, possibly a powerful Fire Attribute Crystal Stone. Though his Fire Transformation reached the Third Layer, approaching the Fourth Layer’s Perfection Realm seemed unattainable—this might be a chance.

"We’ll discuss the Sun Stone matter later. For now, I want your allegiance to me, do you have any objections?" Lin Feng asked directly, eager for this outcome, gaining a Demigod Realm subordinate would ease many tasks in the Netherworld.

The Beast King glanced at Lin Feng and smiled, "You’re originally the King of the Dragon Race, naturally the Nether Dragon will submit to you. The oath of the Dragon Race is known to the King; once spoken, it’s unbreakable. Rest assured, majesty, the Nether Dragon will follow you to death."

"Excellent. Rest assured, I won’t mistreat you. But now don’t call me King anymore, in the Netherworld I prefer to keep a low profile, so just call me Young Master. Let’s return and prevent general worry," Lin Feng smiled, and his figure disappeared in a flash before the Beast King...
