Douluo: Wuhun Eats Iron Beast, Never Become a Slave

Chapter 177 Dark Dragon, Black Dragon Clan?

The dark energy on the Dark Dragon Corpse is exactly the same as the dark mist in the Lost Canyon.

Just as Zhao Mu guessed, the Lost Canyon was formed because of this dragon corpse.

When a soul beast is powerful enough, its body after death can influence an entire region.

The reason why the black energy within those dark soul beasts, which is the wisp of dark energy, returns to the depths of the Grand Canyon and to the dark dragon corpse after they die is simply because there isn't enough!
Despite the fact that the Dark Dragon Corpse created such a large area as the Mysterious Grand Canyon, its energy is actually far less than that of the Ice and Fire Dragon King of the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well.

Having come into close contact with the remains of the Ice and Fire Dragon King, Zhao Mu was certain of the vast difference in strength between them.

Furthermore, this dark energy is used sparingly, which is why the dragon corpse can recycle dark energy.

As for those soul beasts corrupted by darkness, although they possessed greater power than other soul beasts of the same race, they also became puppets of the dragon corpses.

Their role seemed to be that of guarding the spirit of the dead dark dragon, or rather, guarding its corpse.

As for the owner of this dark dragon corpse, Zhao Mu had also speculated: could such pure dark energy belong to the Dark Dragon King?

Zhao Mu quickly dismissed this guess.

Because this dragon corpse is far too different from the Ice and Fire Dragon King in the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well.

Moreover, the Dark Dragon King is also known as the Golden-Eyed Black Dragon King, representing darkness and annihilation.

The relevant person is Di Tian, ​​the current patriarch of the Black Dragon Clan...

The Black Dragon Clan—since it's called the Black Dragon Clan, it means there's more than one dark dragon.

The dark dragon corpse here is a member of the Black Dragon Clan.

Although powerful, it is far from reaching the level of the Dragon King.

It took about 200,000 years, and it seems they did not survive the second tribulation.

Because the immortal herbs that had nurtured the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire had tens of thousands of years of cultivation as a reference, Zhao Mu was able to roughly deduce the strength of this dark dragon in its previous life.

As Zhao Mu approached the dark dragon corpse, a sense of urgent longing gradually rose within him.

The magical seed that belongs to me.

Covered in black armor, Zhao Mu directly activated his original martial soul.

If the Demonic Seed can fully grow using this dark energy, then following the previous example of Black and White, Zhao Mu could directly obtain a Soul Ring transformed from the Demonic Seed.

As for whether it will definitely be the seventh spirit ring, that remains to be seen.

Just as Zhao Mu reached out to touch the Dark Dragon Corpse, less than a meter away, the ground suddenly trembled again.

The loud noise had barely started when the whooshing sound of wind breaking through the air followed closely behind, quickly exploding in Zhao Mu's ears.

Instinctively, Zhao Mu quickly dodged to the side, while Hei Bai also rolled away to avoid the sudden, inexplicable attack.

After dodging the attack, Zhao Mu and Hei Bai were finally able to see who had attacked them.

The figure looked somewhat familiar; it was the dark behemoth that Zhao Mu and Hei Bai had just dealt with.

However, it is not the same one; it should be another one from that dark behemoth clan.

Because this dark behemoth only has one horn, a giant horn that emits a blue light.

The previous one had two corners, but this one has only one corner.

A single horn doesn't mean the dark behemoth is weak; on the contrary, this dark behemoth is significantly larger than the previous one. In fact, according to the rules of the Soul Beast world, the larger the Soul Beast, the stronger it is likely to be, especially among its own kind.

roar~
The attack failed, and the dark behemoth roared with its head raised.

Before it could make any further move, a large amount of dark energy mist overflowed from the dark dragon's corpse and entered the dark behemoth's body.

Under the corrosive influence of the dark energy mist, the dark behemoth could not help but let out painful howls. Its skin gradually began to crack, then hard keratinous layers grew, and then it transformed into hard scales.

Its claws became sharper and longer, and its huge, menacing fangs were revealed in its large mouth. Two bulges grew on its head, and then the bulges broke open, and two new horns, different from the blue light giant horns, grew out.

Before the skin on his back could even rip open and blood could flow, a pair of large black wings sprouted from the wound.

"A dark dragon?!"

Seeing the new form of the dark behemoth after it was transformed by the dark energy mist, Zhao Mu couldn't help but speak.

Although he had only seen the skeleton of the Dark Dragon, looking at the behemoth in front of him, corrupted by dark power, Zhao Mu's intuition told him that this was what the Dark Dragon looked like, and also what the dragon corpse on the ground looked like in its lifetime.

Zhao Mu wanted to plot against the Dark Dragon Corpse, but how could the latter sit idly by and wait for its death?

This dark dragon corpse still retains some consciousness, and it is clearly using the dark behemoth as a medium to resist Zhao Mu.

"roar~"

The black dragon roared again, its voice filled with awe-inspiring dragon might.

Dragons are creatures of extremely high life level, and they have an innate ability to suppress soul beasts.

Even humans, let alone spirit beasts, find it difficult to face the might of the dragon.

Unfortunately, Zhao Mu and Hei Bai were exceptions.

Zhao Mu showed no fear whatsoever towards the ferocious dark dragon before him, as if it were merely a bit larger and nothing more.

Black and White, as soul beasts, are not afraid of dark dragons either. In fact, deep within their bloodlines, latent memories give them an instinctive aversion to dragons.

The dark dragon in its lifetime was only a hundred thousand years old soul beast, let alone the residual aura after its death causing trouble!
He clasped his hands together and then slapped them together.

As the sixth spirit ring lit up, the spirit power within his body surged out wildly.

Driven by his soul power, Zhao Mu's robes rustled, and at the same time, branches and vines sprouted from the ground, and a large number of trees gathered together to form a huge wooden figure.

It was only because the canyon was shrouded in black mist that this tall wooden figure was visible to everyone in the canyon.

Without pausing, under Zhao Mu's urging, the wooden figure's arm shot out directly towards the dark dragon.

However, the dark dragon seemed somewhat intimidated by the wooden figure's attack, as it appeared to sense a hint of danger emanating from it.

Unsure of the situation, the dark dragon did not choose to confront the wooden figure head-on, but instead shook its wings to prepare for takeoff.

For winged spirit beasts, flapping their wings and taking off when encountering danger is their instinctive reaction.

Just as the dark dragon's body lifted off the ground, it suddenly came to a stop. Black and white claws grabbed the dark dragon's thighs, and the powerful force, or rather its own weight, prevented the dark dragon from taking off.

With its claws wrapped around the dark dragon, Black and White twisted its body and flung the dark dragon away, sending it hurtling across the ground.

Having finally managed to stop, the dark dragon shook its head, preparing to get up, when the wooden hand pressed it down.
