Lord: Sequence Overlord

Chapter 144 Dragon Blood Bottle and the Extraordinary Beast King

Chapter 143

"I killed a baby dragon?"

Rosen stood near the young dragon, observing it as it gradually rotted.

In less than half a day, the body of the unknown dragon had rotted into a mass of black blood.

Rosen released the Nightmare Chains, from which a green bottle emerged from the blood.

It was about the size of a snuff bottle, made of what looked like transparent jade, with faint runes on it. Perhaps it was this thing that kept the young dragon's body alive for 20,000 years.

He couldn't wait to release the small bottle of spiritual perception and quickly learned its origin.

This is the Dragon Blood Bottle, a special type of miracle treasure without a fixed level.

The Dragon Blood Bottle can not only absorb and store dragon blood, but also completely control the dragon blood flowing out of the bottle.

The grade of the dragon blood stored in the bottle determines the grade of the Dragon Blood Treasure Bottle.

From this perspective alone, the Dragon Blood Bottle seems to be simply the perfect container for dragon blood.

However, upon closer reflection, Rosen became somewhat agitated.

The Dragon Blood Bottle absorbs the stored dragon blood, and even if it is released, it can still be controlled.

If you capture a demigod dragon, then bleed it continuously and store the blood in a dragon blood bottle, and finally pour the stored dragon blood back into the demigod dragon's body, wouldn't that be equivalent to controlling the entire dragon blood of the demigod dragon?

The idea is good, of course, but only if you can capture a dragon alive.

Rosen carefully put away the Dragon Blood Bottle, preparing to search for any other remaining treasures.

He dug through the entire cave, but found no treasure.

Left with no other choice, Rosen had to return the way he came and take another fork in the road to hunt the Sea Dragon Beast.

Although it has the word "dragon" in its name, the Seadragon is not a dragon.

It does resemble the sea monster Mosasaurus from the dinosaurs, and looks somewhat similar to a crocodile, except that its limbs have been transformed into paddle-like flippers. This extraordinary life form has a very strong talent for manipulating seawater, and it can naturally intimidate and rule over sea beasts weaker than itself.

It is called Seadragon Beast because its abilities are somewhat like a weakened version of the Seadragon.

In less than an hour, Rosen had approached the underground lake where the sun jellyfish had lived for many years.

The lake covers an area of ​​several dozen miles, and the caves within it cover an area of ​​hundreds of miles.

The cave is surrounded by waterfalls of all sizes, from which seawater flows continuously, eventually forming this sizable underground saltwater lake.

In the middle of the lake is a small island, where a hundred-zhang-long sea dragon is basking in the sun.

"Baking in the sun?"

Rosen looked up at the top of the cave and saw a dead sun jellyfish hanging from the cave ceiling.

He shook his head and moved the divine territory over to the shore.

Upon seeing the corpse of the Sun Jellyfish in the sky, the Brilliant Lighthouse couldn't resist. It transformed and reassembled into the form of the Sun Jellyfish, then transformed into a light element and arrived above the island in the underground lake. The moment it fell vertically, it was like a solar bomb.

The essence of this ability lies in the destructive power of burning cells to transform them into light elements.

Now that the Sun Jellyfish and the Brilliant Lighthouse have merged, their bodies have transformed from cells into structures. Burning cells is no longer feasible, but burning spiritual crystals can serve as a substitute. Casting a single Sun Bomb requires at least 20 spiritual crystals.

However, when the endless light and heat dissipated, the island was gone, and the sea dragon only had a few pieces of its scales broken.

"It's a king beast! Run!"

Next to Lawson, a gray rat was jumping around and squeaking loudly.

Rosen wanted to leave at this point, but he couldn't leave the Brilliant Lighthouse to die.

But if we don't leave now, the losses will only be more severe.

Just as there are different classes among humans, there are also distinctions of strength and hierarchy among the extraordinary.

Extraordinary life forms are actually divided into strong and weak categories. Ordinary extraordinary life forms are just ordinary extraordinary life forms. Those who can conquer and command their own kind within the same sequence are lords. Those who can conquer extraordinary life forms of various races across races are beast kings.

Between ordinary extraordinary beings and lord extraordinary beings, many people also distinguish between a transitional elite or leader extraordinary being.

However, because this level lacks obvious features, it is somewhat difficult to identify.

The gray rat leaders and cave demon leaders that Rosen encountered in the past were actually at this intermediate level. The strong ones were close to the level of lord-level transcendent beings, while the weak ones were not much stronger than ordinary transcendent beings. These transcendent beings did not have any special hierarchical characteristics.

Ordinary and extraordinary correspond to all sequences other than the nine major sequences of humanity.

The title of Lord Transcendent already corresponds to the four major civilization sequences of humankind, and the Queen of the Ash Bees is a Lord Transcendent.

As for the Beast King, he is equivalent to a titled lord among humans.

Titled lords are a special rank that only demigods possess; only by becoming a demigod can one obtain a title and become a titled lord.

The defining characteristic of a titled lord is the ability to wield pseudo-divine power by harnessing the faith of his subjects.

So you can imagine how terrifying a Sequence 6 Beastmaster is.

Without the combined efforts of ten Sequence 6 Divine Lords, it would be impossible to defeat the Sequence 6 Beast King.

In the past, Rosen had only ever seen the Queen of the Ash Bees and the Gray Rat, let alone the Beast King or even the Lords and Extraordinary Ones.

Just as he was preparing to receive the Radiant Lighthouse during its evacuation, the Dragon Blood Bottle inside his heart suddenly began to stir.

With so many dragon blood mushrooms, some dragon blood must have been extracted from them.

There was no great use for the dragon blood, so Rosen had the Gluttonous Beast eat the Dragon Blood Bottle and then continuously release dragon blood to devour and digest it to strengthen its life force. Unexpectedly, the Dragon Blood Bottle started to move strangely at this time.

Rosen used his spiritual senses to perceive the Dragon Blood Bottle and discovered that this miraculous treasure was actually craving the blood of a sea dragon.

Seadramon is not a dragon, so why would the Dragon Blood Bottle crave the blood of Seadramon?

Could it be that……

Rosen summoned the Gluttonous Beast, which spat out the Dragon Blood Bottle.

If you eliminate all the impossibilities, the remaining conclusion, however absurd, may be the truth.

Could it be that the "dragon" in the Dragon Blood Bottle doesn't refer to the dragon race, but rather to all extraordinary beings whose names contain the character for "dragon"?
The Seadragon Beast contains the character for "dragon," so its blood, in the eyes of the Dragon Blood Treasure Bottle, is dragon blood.

Are all things born from miracles so wildly powerful?
Rosen released a clone of his self-portrait, which instantly transformed into the feathered serpent god and soared into the air, swooping down towards the Sea Dragon Beast King.

Don't be fooled by the fact that Quetzalcoatl only possesses pseudo-divine authority and has no skills. That's because many skills have already been integrated into pseudo-divine authority. Under the power of the Morning Star divine authority, Quetzalcoatl's body curls up and transforms into a metallic star with a diameter of over a hundred meters.

Then, like a beam of light, it fell, hurtling towards the Sea Dragon Beast King at hundreds of times the speed of sound.

The Sea Dragon Beast King, which was manipulating seawater to form a giant maw to tear at the glorious lighthouse, sensed the threat and instantly manipulated more seawater to form a sphere. The moment Morning Star and the water sphere collided, a tsunami and shockwave spread throughout the entire underground lake.

Quetzalcoatl shook its head and pounced directly at the Sea Dragon Beast King, whose head was bleeding profusely.

The two colossal beasts continued to tear at each other in the sea. The scales of the Feathered Serpent God, under the power of the Morning Star Godhood, possessed the penetrating power of light and the extreme hardness of metal. Under the serpent's coils, even the scales of the Sea Dragon King were gradually shredded.

Just as Rosen was delighted by Quetzalcoatl's unexpected combat prowess, the Sea Dragon Beast King launched a counterattack.

With a flick of its tail, it began to writhe and die in the underground lake like a crocodile.

However, the Sea Dragon King's Death Roll is many times more terrifying because it rolls faster and faster, causing the lake water to form a horizontal waterspout due to the high-speed rotation. The self-portrait clone was made dizzy and weak by the ultra-high-speed rotation.

The moment Quetzalcoatl loosened its grip on the Seadramon King, the Seadramon King went from spinning in place to spinning while moving.

Then, along with Quetzalcoatl, they crashed into the waterspout that had been spinning rapidly earlier.

At the moment of impact, the Sea Dragon King was unaffected by the seawater and suffered no harm.

However, Quetzalcoatl was like being caught in a meat grinder, his entire body was ground to dust by the waterspout and he was severely injured on the spot.

The Sea Dragon King's death roll created a waterspout, and as it spun continuously, the water was flung away, leaving behind extremely concentrated brine and salt particles. If Quetzalcoatl crashed into it, it would be like falling into a tumbling mill.

No matter how strong your defense is, it will be ground into minced meat by the high-purity salt grains.

The Seadragon King's counterattack hadn't stopped. Taking advantage of the Feathered Serpent God's dizziness and lack of recovery, it opened its blood-red maw and bit down on the Feathered Serpent God's body. Then it continued its death roll, still merging into the saltwater tornado.

In just a moment, Quetzalcoatl will be reduced to a pile of minced meat.

However, Quetzalcoatl delayed for a while, and by this time Rosen had already teleported into the Brilliant Lighthouse.

The glorious lighthouse transformed into the feathered serpent god, and a giant sniper cannon barrel, formed by fusing with the God-Slaying Crossbow, appeared in its mouth.

The spatial element of the four-phase bullet, projected and rendered on the canvas of the mind, is successfully materialized as the artist begins to load the magazine.

The Hunter's Eye has locked onto the Sea Dragon Beast King, ready to strike its prey's wounds at any moment.

Finally, Quetzalcoatl was torn to pieces by the Seadramon King. However, the Seadramon King didn't get any meat. Instead, its mouth was full of paint and its body became multicolored. Just as it stopped its death roll, the Godslayer Crossbow Sniper Cannon was fired instantly.

The moment the four spatial elements were ejected from the barrel, they had already crossed space and struck a wound on the Sea Dragon Beast King.

The fission and fusion of spatial elements can bring about astonishing spatial shattering and defense breaches.

In particular, this shot was fired with a fatal blow, containing ash armor-piercing properties, and the bullet also incorporated a wisp of spatial holy fire. No matter how strong the Sea Dragon Beast King's body defense was, it was torn open by the spatial element four-phase bullet, leaving a wound a meter deep.

However, even with such a large wound, it still couldn't damage the Sea Dragon Beast King's internal organs.

However, at this moment, the warhead of the Space Element Quadruple Bullet completely cracked open. The Dragon Blood Bottle stored inside the warhead came into contact with the Sea Dragon Beast King's blood and flowed directly into the heart through a broken blood vessel.

The Sea Dragon Beast King instinctively sensed danger, and its furious roar stirred up a thousand-foot-deep lake.

The lake water formed a giant sea dragon, carrying a force of millions of tons as it rushed towards the magnificent lighthouse.

Only at this moment did the Sea Dragon Beast King truly take things seriously.

Rosen directly activated the Mysterious Study inside the Glorious Lighthouse, and then retrieved the Glorious Lighthouse back into the Divine Realm through the window.

No matter how ferocious the Sea Dragon Beast King was, it could not cause the slightest harm to Rosen.

The Sea Dragon King frantically searched for the Brilliant Lighthouse, devouring all the extraordinary sea beasts in the underground lake one by one.

However, as time went on, the Sea Dragon Beast King began to grow weaker and weaker.

Realizing that continuing down this path would lead to certain death, the Sea Dragon King manipulated the seawater to form sea dragons that were ten feet long.

These sea dragons burrowed into the mouth, tore open the trachea, and lunged at the beating heart.

Finally, he tore his heart apart before grabbing the Dragon Blood Bottle, intending to remove the foreign object from his body.

However, the Dragon Blood Bottle had already manipulated a large amount of dragon blood within the Dragon Blood Beast King's body. This dragon blood began to frantically destroy all of the Sea Dragon Beast King's organs, to the point that even the Sea Dragon Beast King's powerful regenerative abilities could not stop the accelerated loss of its life. After rolling and howling in agony for a full half-day, the Sea Dragon Beast King finally succumbed to its death and lost all ability to resist.

Only then did Rosen leave the mysterious study, integrating the God-Slaying Crossbow into the Brilliant Lighthouse and beginning an eight-shot burst.

A full eight spatial elemental four-phase bullets tore open the Sea Dragon Beast King's head scales and skull.

Finally, it pierced through the brain, delivering the final fatal blow to the Sea Dragon Beast King.

The moment the Sea Dragon Beast King died, its body gradually melted and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Rosen eagerly retrieved the Dragon Blood Bottle, a miraculous treasure that was undergoing some kind of evolution.

He carefully put away the Dragon Blood Bottle before opening his scavenging space and taking out three orbs of light.

After crushing the first one, you will get a Hunter Sequence 6 Beast Mastery skill crystal.

Through this skill crystal, a Sequence 6 hunter can intimidate and enslave extraordinary beings below the Sequence 6 lord level.

This is equivalent to a weakened version of the Beast King's ability to command extraordinary beings. Although it is certainly not as good as the real Beast King for the time being, with the continuous improvement of skill level, it is entirely possible that it will not lose to the real extraordinary Beast King in the future.

Crushing the second orb of light, Rosen produced an extraordinary dagger in his hand.

Before its death, the Sea Dragon Beast King chewed up almost all of its teeth, and the only intact tooth turned into this dagger.

Although this dagger is only Sequence 6, it has amazing attributes.

【Source Material Dragon Fang Dagger: An Extraordinary Artifact】

[Level: Sequence 6]

[Attribute: Wielding the Dragon Fang Dagger grants complete concealment underwater, avoiding perception abilities below Sequence 3]

【Source Quality Trait 1: Beast King's Bloodlust - The Dragon Fang Dagger possesses the ability to heal injuries through life steal and enhance its own quality through life steal】

[Source Material Trait 2: Sharpness - The Dragon Fang Dagger can easily tear through all Sequence 6 defenses]

【Source Material Characteristic 3: Water Incarnation – Can form up to three water incarnations】

Rosen played with the Dragon Fang Dagger with obvious delight; it was a perfect weapon that could drive an assassin mad.

Although they can only completely hide underwater, there are too many water-rich environments in the human world.

Moreover, with the Beastmaster's Bloodlust trait, the Dragon Fang Dagger can at least evolve into a Sequence 3 Extraordinary Artifact.

However, Rosen felt that the Dragon Fang Dagger was not worthy of being a spoil of war transformed from the Beast King's corpse, so he crushed the last orb of light.

Rosen looked at a ring in his hand and used his spiritual sense to check its properties.

【The Remnant Ring of Poseidon: A Miracle Treasure】

[Level: Sequence 3]

[Attribute: The Remnant Ring of the Sea God can grant divine water and wind attributes]

[Theocracy 1: Faith – Faith that can absorb marine life]

Theocracy 2: Domination – The ability to dominate marine life

[Divine Authority 3: Navigation - Skills related to navigation]

[Divine Authority 4: Storms - The ability to wield divine authority over storms]

[True Divine Authority 5: Sea God - Gains partial control over the sea and obtains maritime divine authority]

[Miracle Trait: Sea Burial]

"Another miraculous treasure."

Rosen resisted the urge to put on the Ring of the Sea God.

Based on the information he obtained, the Poseidon Ring is probably a fragment of the ring actually worn by the Poseidon.

Even the fragments reached the quality of Sequence 3, possessing various terrifying divine powers.

It was probably because Seadramon obtained this remnant of the Sea God's Ring that it successfully evolved into the almost impossible Sequence 6 Beast King.

Under normal circumstances, only demigods or extraordinary beings could become Beast Kings.

For now, this ring can only be kept as a memento.

Without mastering divine power, there's no way you can wear this ring.

"Divinity?"

Rosen's mind stirred, and he transformed into the feathered serpent god.

Divinity was infused into the remnant ring of the sea god, and the ring was immediately placed on the dragon's horn, which was positioned diagonally backward at the top of its head.

At that moment, Rosen felt as if the underground lake around him was completely under his control.

It felt as if this underground lake had become his divine domain.

Rosen instantly entered the divine beast pen, arriving at the sea area where extraordinary sea creatures such as sea rats and bladed rat sharks were kept.

His divinity merged into this sea, into the bodies of extraordinary creatures such as sea rats and blade sharks.

He immediately felt a continuous flow of faith converging upon him, and he could rely on this faith to exercise the various divine powers of the Sea God's Broken Ring.

However, the Miracle ability, Sea Burial, does not require any Faith.

Rosen attempted to activate the sea burial, instinctively locking onto a Sequence 8 sea rat.

The seawater around the sea rat seemed to come alive all at once, dragging the sea rat to the seabed. As the sea rat decomposed and merged into the seawater, this part of the seawater was rich in nutrients that could greatly benefit the marine life living in it.

This miraculous property of sea burial possesses the terrifying ability to destroy marine life, creating a single whale fall that can sustain countless species.

However, sea burial cannot be performed at will. Performing those divine powers consumes faith, while performing sea burial consumes divinity. The Feathered Serpent God has 36 points of divinity, and the spirituality of a life that can be sea burial cannot be higher than 36 points, and cannot be higher than Sequence 3.

Even with limitations and caps, this miracle trait truly lives up to the name "miracle."

Rosen deactivated his Feathered Serpent God transformation, and the remnant of the Sea God Ring instantly fell silent.

So far, the Poseidon Ring is his strongest trump card besides the Mysterious Study.

While he was happy, he also felt a little uneasy.

First came the Dragon Blood Bottle, and then came a remnant of the Sea God's Ring.

In particular, the Dragon Blood Bottle is perfect for restraining the Sea Dragon Beast King. Otherwise, he would not have been able to kill the Sea Dragon Beast King at all, and it would have been impossible for him to kill the Beast King beyond his level, causing the Sea God's Remnant Ring to become an even more precious miracle treasure.

From any perspective, Rosen's luck was almost excessive.

But on second thought, it doesn't seem unacceptable.

He only found a Sequence 3 Poseidon's Ring. In the history he had seen, there were human heroes who found Sequence 0 artifacts. Compared to those legendary monsters, his luck was not enough to make him the protagonist.

Rosen transformed back into Quetzalcoatl and then learned the Sea Elemental Summoning skill from Nightmare Slime.

Mastering the divine right to the seas is a skill that can be learned easily.

Rosen has 36 points of divinity. He consumes 35 points of divinity to directly summon 3500 sea elementals, most of which are Sequence 9, a few are Sequence 8, and there are even dozens of sea elementals that have reached Sequence 7.

With the help of so many marine elements, the spiritual crystal veins at the bottom of the underground lake were quickly mined.

In the end, he reaped over 30 million spiritual crystals, and Lawson's wallet suddenly became rich again.

I don't know if it was because my luck ran out, but I didn't have any luck for half a month after leaving the underground lake.

This is actually the normal state; making money is not that easy for humans.

Just look at the sun jellyfish. It was only suspected that a sun jellyfish had appeared, but it turned out that the sequence number 6 of the message had already arrived. In the end, only one person actually got a sun jellyfish, and the rest all suffered significant losses and gained publicity at a loss.

After leaving the underworld, Rosen prepared to travel to the ocean in the spirit world.

With a theocratic right to the sea, finding treasure in the ocean shouldn't be difficult for him.

However, at that moment, a spirit messenger appeared before Rosen, bringing good news from Marquis Faris.

The demigod artifact that Faris made for him almost failed, but it suddenly survived and succeeded half a month ago. The timing was exactly when he transformed into Quetzalcoatl and put on the broken ring of Poseidon.

Therefore, the remnant of the Sea God enhanced the power of Quetzalcoatl, indirectly affecting the empty shell of the corpse that shared the same origin.
Rosen couldn't figure out the reason yet, but guessed it might be related to luck.

Everyone knows that the four ancient trees representing the civilizational fortunes of all humankind are the key to civilization.

Rosen thought of a storybook he had read, in which the protagonist also obtained a miraculous treasure and his luck kept getting better and better. The book mentioned that miraculous treasures could increase one's fortune, but the author of the book was unknown, so he didn't take the contents of the book seriously.

It now seems that this may not be a fabrication; miracle treasures really can improve one's luck.

However, the influence of this kind of luck should have an upper limit, and it is very likely that the effect will be more pronounced in the spirit world.

Because the spirit world is primarily spiritual, the intangible energy and fortune of matter are more likely to have an effect there.

Rosen didn't know if his analysis was correct, but he knew it was a good thing.

Of course, he shouldn't become arrogant because of this. He was able to encounter the remnant of the Sea God's Ring because of his luck, but if he didn't have the Four Elements Bullet, even with the Dragon Blood Bottle, he might not have been able to kill the Sea Dragon Beast King.

So even if good fortune brings good things, if you lack the strength, good fortune can turn into bad luck.

Rosen released the alchemical dragon, which carried him back to the place in the spirit world that corresponded to the real-world adventure capital.

Then they left the spirit world and returned to the vicinity of the adventure capital in reality.

Rosen took out a crystal ball bearing the coat of arms of the noble Faris, and said he had already contacted Faris to have it delivered to his door.

This type of video crystal provides excellent communication performance within a radius of thousands of miles.
However, if the distance is greater, especially when communicating in the spirit world or across borders, then spirit messengers are still the best. Each spirit messenger is a special spirit life that can freely enter the depths of the spirit world, and a good spirit messenger is no less valuable than a demigod's extraordinary artifact.

Rosen waited and waited, and soon an hour had passed.

He sensed something was wrong; Faris had said he'd be right over.

So much time has passed, we should be at the hotel by now.

Rosen considered using the video sphere to contact them again, but felt that might be pressuring them.

Just as he was hesitating for a moment, the video sphere suddenly cracked open, forming a spatial vortex.

A palm-sized, feathered serpent god-like figurine fell from the spatial vortex. This should be the mechanical mount that Faris crafted for him. But why was it delivered in this way? Did something urgent prevent him from coming?
Rosen picked up the mechanical mount, only to find some tiny words, about the size of grains of rice, on its wings.
