Chapter 385: Chapter 223: Fallen Dragon Seed, Yiye Palace_2
[The secret room is located under the master’s bed in the sleeping chamber, the entrance can be found by turning the vase at the head of the bed. You need to operate carefully so to stay unnoticed. ]
[But even if you are discovered, I will protect you...]
[...]
[’Key to Otani Family’s Secret Room’ (Item): An ancient bronze key-shaped magical artifact that seems to be capable of opening the door to a hidden room that does not appear to exist. This key-shaped artifact emits a subtle and concealed fluctuation, which is hard to perceive.]
[Activating this item will reduce the enhancement that ’Fallen Dragon Seed’ provides to related Shell abilities.]
[This magical artifact is currently active, do you want to turn it off?]
"..."
After reading the text, Lin Xun took a deep sigh of relief and silently deactivated the key artifact.
[It seems that apart from the body of ’Black Heavenly Dog with an Ascending Origin,’ there is nothing else within the barrier.]
[You walk up the steps of the underground passage, returning to the sleeping chamber of the master of the house.]
[As soon as you arrive back in the sleeping chambers, you see a thick crowd of people...]
[These people are mostly armoured warriors with weapons, along with a few thin figures dressed in hunting clothing with crow-shaped hats.]
[They hold various magical artifacts in their hands and look at you with icy glares.]
[You discovered ’Fire-Worshipping Yin Yang Master from the Yiye Palace’!]
[Seeing you in the dragon-headed humanoid form, the Yin Yang Masters’ eyes reveal excitement. They chant spells while waving their artifacts...]
[Various Monster shikigamis are summoned, revealing their ferocious forms.]
[The leader among them, resplendent and having an aura of gravity, looks at the corpse of the old master on the bed, affecting an appearance of deep grief.]
[’Fire-Worshipping Otani Taro’ proclaims to the crowd that his brother conspired in secret with ’Remnants of Malevolent Forces’ to assassinate the old master with the intention to release the powerful demon suppressed underground. His sin should be condemned!]
[A weak and young figure was pushed out from the crowd. A warrior in military attire threw him to the ground. His sword was drawn and the execution was swift, blood splattering all over.]
[The crowd erupted into applause!]
[Otani Taro revealed a slight smile, pointing at you he once again declared, the ’Remnants of Malevolent Forces’ foolishly sought to rescue their kin. Let it serve as a shikigami for the Yin Yang Masters, dying in servitude to the ’Otani family’!]
[Stepping back into the crowd, the warriors advanced, drawing their swords. The Yin Yang Masters also waved their magical artifacts, controlling the Monster Shikigamis to approach you...]
"Seems like I have to exterminate the ’Otani Family’ before I can leave..."
Lin Xun’s eyes hardened.
[Just as you were about to draw your sword for a massacre, one of the Yin Yang Masters takes out a talisman. As the spell is recited, the talisman self-ignites. Symbols materialise from it and rush towards you.]
[You cut down with your blade, but couldn’t shatter the tadpole-shaped symbols...]
[You are affected by the ’Sealing Talisman’, temporarily unable to control your Shell!]
[Some warriors laugh heartily, brandishing their swords to strike you down...]
[’Monster Technique: Early Awakening’ is activated!]
[A flash of Dark Dragon Seed aura flicks past, and the tadpole-shaped symbols imprinted on you suddenly fade away.]
[You roar loudly, twisting your body to swing out the two chained blades in your hands, dark dragon flames ignited at the tips along the chained blades.]
[Centered around you, the spinning blades cut down the surrounding warriors at the waist, the toxic dragon flames burned along the corpses, instantly dissolving over ten of the warriors into pools of putrid liquid!]
The Earth Giant and President’s Shell were not suitable for fighting here before the Yin Yang Masters were taken down.
The new ability of the Little Dragon was immune to control skills, and it had a great advantage against these Yin Yang Masters.
"Since the massacre has started, let’s raze ’Otani Mansion’ to the ground!"
Lin Xun knew that such action would bring about a stronger counter-attack, but he no longer had any retreat.
He pressed down on the skill heavily — ’Hermit’s Arrival’!
[You open your large, fanged mouth, and give an earth-shattering dragon roar!]
[Your body suddenly began to grow, becoming extremely large. Your limbs grew more robust, claws and fangs sharper, and a huge dragon tail extended from your bottom.]
[A pair of huge dragon wings broke free from the shoulder blades on your back, covering the sky and blocking out the sun!]
[The immense dragon body broke through the ceiling of the sleeping chamber, causing it to collapse.]
[The giant dragon stomping on the rubble whipped up a storm as it flew into the sky. You look down at the small humans struggling in the rubble beneath you, your jaws opening menacingly...]
[Dark, swirling dragon flames gather in your mouth and your Dark Dragon Seed Aura coils around your body like a whirlpool, concentrating on the gathering flames.]
[Your Shell ability ’Dark Dragon Breath’ is enhanced by the property of the ’Fallen Dragon Seed’, significantly increasing the power of the skill!]
[The intense, extreme darkness raged between its jaws, seemingly absorbing all light, casting a dim, ominous shadow over the Otani family mansion...]
[The Dark Dragon Flame descends!]
[Countless buildings within the mansion are burned to cinders amidst the dragon flames, collapsing into dilapidated ruins!]
[You have defeated the ’Fire Worshiping Ashigaru’...]
[You have defeated the ’Fire Worshiping Yin Yang Master of Yiye Palace’...]
[You have defeated the ’Fire Worshiping Maid of Otani Family’...]
Texts fill the screen, each indicating that different members of the Otani family have turned into cold, lifeless corpses.
[With the ebbing of the vitality within your body, you’ve sustained some injuries!]
Lin Xun didn’t stop, he continued to attack.
Today, he was determined to raze the Otani family’s residence to the ground.
[Your jaw opens once again as the black dragon flame condenses within your mouth...]
[The dwindling essence of the Dragon Seed causes the descending dragon flame to lack the initial destructive power.]
[Even without the boon of ’Fallen Dragon Seed’, the full unleashed power of the Hermit Bloodline is something the ants beneath your feet can never withstand!]
[You have defeated...]
[You’ve defeated...]
[With the ebb of vitality within your body, you sustained severe injuries!]
Lin Xun unleashed Dragon Flames four times in succession. Just when the shell of the Little Dragon could no longer withstand, he landed and switched shells.
[You possessed the ’Shell of the Desolate Earth Giant’!]
[The vast mansion had been reduced to ruins under the torrent of dragon flames, the embers of dragon flame continued burning and consuming any remnants of life.]
[You stride into the ruins and spot a ragged figure wildly swinging a blade around, releasing an aura of sword energy all around, but powerless against the rampaging dragon flames.]
[One of his arms and legs were devoured by the dragon flame. ’Fire Worshiping Otani Taro’ crazily swings his razor-sharp blade, his sword aura only able to delay the time of his death.]
[You push through the dragon flames, standing before him, brandishing your ’Ancient Dragon Tooth Mace’...]
[Confronted by you, Otani Taro’s desperate attempts to assert his dominance falter. He falls to his knees before you, pledging countless riches and beauties, begging for his life.]
[Unmoved, you raise your mace ready to smash him into a pulp.]
[Otani Taro, eyes streaming with tears and nose running, offers up his precious blade with both hands, all for the sake of survival.]
[You acquired ’Tachi: Demon Cleaver of Unohana’ (Epic+ Level Weapon)!]
[Seeing you accept the blade, yet the viciousness within his eyes not diminishing in the slightest, he was well aware of his impending doom.]
[’Fire worshiping Otani Taro’ screams maddeningly. He swears that if you kill him and exterminate the last bloodline of ’Otani family’, his ancestor will definitely kill you. Even if you escape to the ends of the world, you’ll still be hunted down by Yiye Palace...]
"I wonder if I can possess this body that has lost a hand and a foot..."
Lin Xun switches the Earth Giant’s weapon to the Sleeve Sword.
[The bladed gauntlet extends sharp blades. You thrust your arm, and the blade pierces through the heart of the man in front of you.]
[The threats cease abruptly, and the corpse slowly falls to the ground. His malevolent eyes, wide open even in death, are still fixed on you...]
[You defeated the ’Fire Worshiping Otani Taro’, gaining a small increase in experience points.]
[You acquired ’Unyielding Fragment of Spirituality’ *1]
[You acquired ’Yiye Palace Decree’ (Item)]
[You look at the unblinking face in front of you...]
[The corpse of ’Fire Worshiping Otani Taro’ suddenly ignites with black flames. These are not the Dragon Flames you are familiar with, but the ’Fallen Karma Fire’ that contains all the evils of the world!]
[The fire uses the corpse as its kindling and forms a black tadpole-shaped incantation, imprinted directly onto your heart.]
[You’ve been tagged by an unknown Yin Yang Master’s curse!]
[The body is quickly reduced to ash by the ’Fallen Karma Fire’. As it turns into ash, the black Karma Fire slowly dies out...]
[An old woman’s hysterical scream comes from within the ashes...]
[I will kill you!!!]
[The Karma Fire dies out, leaving the echoes of the scream ringing...]
