Chapter 5232 Golden War Chariot
“What’s going on? Why does your body have Netherdragon energy in it?” Long Chen stared at the golden rhinoceros in shock.
What shocked Long Chen the most was that other than Netherdragon energy, there was also a trace of Lord Brahma’s faith energy. That was truly shocking.
Furthermore, this trace of faith energy mixed with the Netherdragon energy to form a power that was like poison constantly corroding the golden rhinoceros’s flesh and soul.
When Long Chen’s Spiritual Strength probed its body, this mix of energy instantly blasted back his energy, almost making him cough up blood.
The golden rhinoceros also jumped when Long Chen reacted this way. It quickly explained that it usually cultivated on the outer edge of the Endless Desolation. To use its words, its power was insufficient to enter the depths.
As it reigned over its territory, it had a mortal foe, the black scale fiend drake. The two of them were roughly evenly matched.
However, a few hundred years ago, the black scale fiend drake suddenly launched a sneak attack on it, attacking like it had gone crazy. Both sides ended up injured. The golden rhinoceros pierced its tail, while the black scale fiend drake managed to sink its poison fang into its body.
After both sides were injured, the golden rhinoceros assumed that they would each take some time to recuperate. However, just a few years later, the black scale fiend drake once more attacked, and most shocking of all, its injuries had already fully healed.
As for itself, its recovery was extremely slow. It felt that something was off about that. In this battle, the golden rhinoceros wasn’t a match for the black scale fiend drake, and after being dealt a heavy injury, it used a bloodline divine ability to escape.
It fled all the way to here before the black scale fiend drake stopped chasing it. It had been recuperating here for hundreds of years, but instead of its wounds improving, its body began to grow weaker and weaker.
“Boss, there might be a story behind this!” said Guo Ran.
Long Chen nodded. Something was queer with this. For an independent demonic beast to actually possess both Netherdragon energy and Lord Brahma’s faith energy within its body had to mean that something was up.
“Do you know where the Dragon Domain is?” asked Long Chen.
“The Dragon Domain was only two days from my original territory,” answered the golden rhinoceros.
“Not too far from the Dragon Domain? And you ended up being infected with Netherdragon energy and Lord Brahma’s faith energy?” Long Chen instantly had a bad feeling.
“Could it be...?!” Guo Ran and the others all thought of a frightening possibility.
“Lord Brahma’s hands have truly stretched far. He won’t even let off these solitary demonic beasts. Let’s go. We have to hurry to the Dragon Domain, or the Dragon Domain might be in danger,” said Long Chen.
“Boss, do you mean that the black scale fiend drake was under the control of the Netherdragon race?” asked Guo Ran.
“I can’t be sure. But that possibility cannot be rejected. You- uh, what’s your name?” asked Long Chen.
“I don’t have a name. Ever since I was born to my parents, I was alone. I don’t need a name.” The golden rhinoceros shook his head.
“Hm, then in the future, we’ll call you Gold Rhino,” said Long Chen. “Gold Rhino, the Netherdragon energy and faith energy in your body has coiled together into a strange poison that has invaded your flesh, your meridians, and even your soul. I have never before encountered such a situation, so I will need to experiment to heal you. Things might not go that smoothly. It’ll take some time, so be patient. But I promise you that I can deal with this poison. I just can’t say exactly how much time it will take.”
“No problem! I can wait,” said Gold Rhino excitedly. It had been trying to heal for so many years, but only grew weaker. Now Long Chen was its only hope.
“Gold Rhino, can you take human form?” asked Guo Ran.
Gold Rhino shook its head. “When I advanced from a one-vein Human Emperor to a two-vein Human Emperor, I returned to my true form from human form. Now I am currently still injured and my realm is unstable. My second Emperor vein is in danger of collapsing. If I take human form, my second Emperor vein will instantly collapse, and I will return to a one-vein Human Emperor. Then I’ll need to start all over.”
Hearing that, they couldn’t help being shocked. Gold Rhino was a two-vein Human Emperor, but even such an expert could only linger at the edge of the Endless Desolation. Just how terrifying were the depths of this primordial land?
Long Chen thought for a moment. He took out over ten medicinal pills for Gold Rhino to consume one after another. Once all of them were consumed, Gold Rhino seemed revitalized. Its listless aura rapidly recovered.
In but two hours, not only did the wounds that Bai Shishi deal it heal, even some of the internal injuries it had been suffering from improved.
Sensing these changes, Gold Rhino knelt on the ground and performed a unique etiquette belonging to its race to express its thanks to Long Chen.
“Since you know where the Dragon Domain is, you can lead the way. You don’t need to go too fast. I will help you slowly adjust your dosage as we travel. Hopefully your power can fully recover before reaching the Dragon Domain,” said Long Chen.
After saying that, Guo Ran waved his hand, and a mountain-sized golden chariot appeared. Even Long Chen jumped in fright. This golden chariot’s aura was absolutely terrifying. Its entire body was actually thought of a Human Emperor divine weapon.
It had to be known that such a thing was incredibly priceless. It could be considered equivalent to thousands of ordinary Human Emperor divine weapons. The amount of manpower and resources that went into it would bankrupt an ordinary sect.
“When did you get this chariot?” Long Chen and the others were stunned.
Guo Ran chuckled. “Naturally it’s part of the first academy’s stockpile. But this chariot is an unfinished product. Many of its parts were left incomplete, so it cannot fly on its own. I was going to see if I could fix it with Xia Chen when we had time. Hmph, I didn’t have time beforehand to study this chariot when the Brahma Pill Valley attacked the academy. But if I could have activated it, hmph, I would have killed all of them without needing to send out a single soldier or spilling a single drop of blood!”
Guo Ran was extremely confident in this golden chariot. He turned to Gold Rhino. “This war chariot is a peak grade Human Emperor divine weapon. Anything else would lower your status. I’ll trouble you to carry us to the Dragon Domain!”
Gold Rhino was now fully won over by Long Chen. It could sense the poison in its body being suppressed. It finally had hope of recovery. It didn’t mind pulling this chariot at all. It returned to its original size and started flying through the air with this golden chariot.
A golden rhinoceros was pulling a mountain-sized golden war chariot, both of them emitting terrifying auras that shook the world. Countless demonic beasts directly fled when they sensed their aura. Just like that, they arrogantly flew towards the Dragon Domain.
