"However, I still haven't found what I'm looking for."
Despite having devoured millions of dragon souls, obtaining countless dragon cultivation techniques and cultivation knowledge, becoming an elite dragon cultivator, and his Infernal Dragon energy being dozens of times more powerful than before, Chu Kuangren was not satisfied.
It was because the thing that drew his attention was not the dragon souls he devoured. What he had been looking for had yet to appear.
"Can it be that whatever's resonating with my Infernal Dragon energy is a dragon soul as well? If that's the case, is it somewhere among the dragon souls here? Now, how do I find it?"
Chu Kuangren looked at the countless dragon souls before him.
He may have devoured millions of them, but there were still many dragon souls in the surroundings.
After all, the Dragon Tombs had existed for countless years.
The number of dragons laid to rest here was in the billions.
If Chu Kuangren alone wanted to devour all the dragon souls that had been acc.u.mulating here since countless eras ago, it would be an impossible task even for him.
However, he had devoured most of the strongest Monarch dragon souls, which was better than devouring millions of other dragon souls here.
'If the higher-ups of the Dragon Tribe learn about this, will they die in rage?' Chu Kuangren thought.
'Oh dear, I've diverted my main objective. I should think of a way to find the source that's causing this resonating feeling.'
"Master, perhaps you can try the Dragonslayer," Lil Ai suggested.
"The Dragonslayer?"
"That's right. The Dragonslayer is the bane of every dragon's existence. However, the source of the resonating feeling that attracted Master's attention is extraordinary. It might be strongly related to the Infernal Dragon energy inside Master's body. A being on such a high level of existence might not be afraid of the Dragonslayer."
Chu Kuangren immediately understood Lil Ai's idea.
The Dragonslayer could scare away the other dragon souls. It meant that whatever remained was not afraid of it and might be the thing that drew him here.
"Have I ever mentioned how good it is to have you with me, Lil Ai?"
Chu Kuangren did not hold back with his praise.
"Hehe." Lil Ai seemed delighted.
Following Lil Ai's suggestion, Chu Kuangren retracted his Infernal Dragon energy and took out the bronze box that contained the Dragonslayer.
Within that instant, an overwhelming wave of ferocious qi spread everywhere.
The aura made all the dragons present shudder. Their faces turned pale as they fixed their gazes on the bronze box with an instinctive fear in their eyes.
They did not know what was inside that box.
However, they knew that whatever was kept inside posed a huge threat to them, like a monstrous beast that feasted on dragons!
"Roar! Roar…"
The dragon souls also began letting out low, uneasy roars the instant the bronze box appeared. Some even got enraged and began roaring continuously with intense fury.
"Buzz…"
The bronze box started trembling violently in Chu Kuangren's hand.
As if it had sensed the countless dragon souls, the Dragonslayer inside the box emitted an extremely bloodthirsty aura.
It seemed eager to rush out to have its fill of dragon blood!
"Boom!"
The bronze box opened.
Strands of blood-red aura permeated from the Dragonslayer, eventually forming a giant blood-colored dragon baring its fangs and spreading its wings.
That giant dragon was a manifestation of the hatred and rage qi of countless dragons.
Due to that, it possessed a tremendous restraining effect on all dragons.
The moment that rageful dragon appeared, the countless dragon souls frantically fled in all directions. Even the powerful dragon souls that were roaring earlier escaped.
Chu Kuangren, who was surrounded earlier as if he were the center of the universe, suddenly found himself standing alone in a desolate s.p.a.ce.
The dragons looked at the giant blood-colored dragon from afar with fear and horror.
"It's… It's the Dragonslayer!"
Some of the dragons screamed and broke out in cold sweat.
The Dragonslayer was the scourge of all dragons.
It was a supreme divine weapon that once belonged to the Dragon Hunters. According to the Dragon Tribe's records, that weapon was described as a demon and was nothing short of the greatest nightmare for all dragons!
The Dragonslayer's appearance now terrified every dragon.
Some dragons could not help recalling their dark past of being hunted by the Dragon Hunters. Their faces turned pale as their knees suddenly buckled, and they slumped on the ground powerlessly.
"Chu Kuangren has the Dragonslayer!"
"Is he destined to be the Dragon Tribe's greatest calamity?"
Elder Dragon Ning and the others' expressions were grim.
With the Infernal Dragon's power, the Dragonslayer, and being an enemy of the Dragon Tribe, what could he possibly be if not the Dragon Tribe's greatest enemy?
Even a Monarch cultivator could not pose a threat as great as Chu Kuangren.
"Huh?" Chu Kuangren said as he furrowed his brow.
With the Dragonslayer out, many of the dragon souls were frightened of him, and they fled just as fast as they had rushed to him earlier.
Not a single soul could be found within a radius of a million kilometers around him.
There was only one exception.
It was a crimson dragon soul with the face of a human but the body of a snake. Its appearance was identical to the Infernal Dragon, but compared to the other dragon souls, it was just too small.
Even the other weakest dragon souls were at least a hundred meters long.
The Infernal Dragon before him was only the length of an arm, and compared to the other dragon souls, its size had made it invisible.
However, the tiny dragon soul remained in the Dragonslayer's presence when the other dragons fled in fear.
"Roar…"
As if it had sensed the tiny Infernal Dragon soul's presence, the rage-qi dragon apparition looked at it and let out a low, frightening roar.
That Infernal Dragon, too, was seemingly angered and let out a roar in retaliation.
Its roar was as loud as a thunderclap!
That tiny thing released an earth-shattering roar that was louder and clearer than any dragon soul, and its body began to expand rapidly.
Soon, it grew to several kilometers long.
The Dragonslayer trembled, releasing a ma.s.sive burst of draconic rage.
That Infernal Dragon was also roaring. As both dragons faced off against each other, their terrifying auras erupted, causing the whole Dragon Soul World to quake violently.
"I found it! This is the source that's been drawing me here!" When Chu Kuangren saw the Infernal Dragon soul, the Infernal Dragon energy inside his body trembled.
He closed the bronze box and kept it inside his Enchanted Sleeve.
The gigantic bundle of draconic rage also dissipated following that.
Upon noticing the disappearance of the Dragonslayer, the Infernal Dragon's soul started to shrink and eventually returned to its arm-sized length.
Chu Kuangren dashed ahead in a flash, wanting to grab that Infernal Dragon's soul to study it. However, it disappeared in a flash, trying to escape.
"Want to leave, huh? That won't do, I'm afraid."
Chu Kuangren laughed as he chased after it.
"This is bad. We can't let him get that Infernal Dragon soul!" Elder Dragon Ning exclaimed.
Any dragon with a keen eye could tell that if it could stand up against the Dragonslayer, it was no ordinary dragon soul.
Chu Kuangren had devoured countless dragon souls already. If he were to obtain the Infernal Dragon soul, he would certainly pose a greater threat to the Dragon Tribe in the future.
Yinglong Wu, Heilong Ya, and the other dragons instantly unleashed a barrage of dragon cultivation techniques at Chu Kuangren.
"Get out of my way!"
Chu Kuangren snorted, and waves of domineering dragon auras erupted from his body. With a wave of his sleeve, the terrifying Infernal Dragon energy gushed into the surroundings.
In an instant, the various dragon cultivation techniques were all shattered.
Many dragons were sent flying with blood spurting out from their mouths.
"His strength…"
Elder Dragon Ning looked at Chu Kuangren with disbelief. His face was pale.
Meanwhile, the person who ranked twenty-two on the Grand Dao Leaderboard, Heilong Ya, who was beside him earlier, had been smashed into pieces. He was dead.
Besides Heilong Ya, that wave of Chu Kuangren's sleeve had killed more than half of the dragons who charged toward him. His overwhelming strength deeply shocked Elder Dragon Ning.
He was a Supreme Honorable cultivator.
However, after witnessing Chu Kuangren's strength, he was afraid. It was a bone-deep fear that sent s.h.i.+vers down his spine.
