Chapter 115 The Dragon Pillar

As expected, Su Ping deliberately remained silent. After a while, the Dragon King's spirit continued, "Since you have agreed, then prepare to accept the test of my inheritance!"

He spoke with great enthusiasm, but his tone was a bit naive.

The next moment, Su Ping felt the space tremble. The giant dragon, which had long since turned into withered bones, seemed to have come back to life. A dragon pillar like a spine broke through the ground in front of Su Ping and slowly rose up.

This dragon pillar is extremely large, like a pagoda, with nine sections and nine stories.

At the same time, the voice of the Dragon King's spirit appeared in Su Ping's mind, making him aware of the significance of the dragon pillar.

Climbing the Dragon Pillar is a test of one's qualifications.

The dragon pillar has nine sections, with nine being the ultimate number. Climbing to the ninth section is considered qualifying one for the preliminary selection for inheritance.

However, this is merely a qualification. To truly inherit the legacy, one must complete another test: purify the 109 dragon king scales on the dragon king's body and restore the dragon soul.

When the Dragon King fell, he sealed his soul within 109 of the hardest dragon scales on his body. Each dragon scale was a small, enormous landmass, polluted by turbid air, giving birth to demons. Only by defeating all the demons within could the dragon scales be purified.

Once all the dragon scales are purified and the dragon soul is restored, those who ascend the nine sections of the dragon pillar will enter the true place of inheritance and undergo the final test of inheritance.

……

After learning about the entire inheritance process, Su Ping had to admit that the trials of the Dragon King's inheritance were far too complex.

Climbing the nine-section dragon pillar is relatively easy; it only tests one's aptitude.

However, purifying 109 dragon scales is an extremely complicated and massive undertaking.

Although they are called dragon scales, they are actually as large as mountains and land, inhabited by all kinds of monsters, including even king-level beasts. To completely purify them, one must have the strength of a legendary battle pet master.

"According to the system's introduction, the Dragon King of this inheritance site is a creature far surpassing the King Beast. Sure enough, the inheritance of such a being cannot be obtained by just anyone."

Su Ping sighed, but quickly felt relieved.

So what if you can easily inherit the legacy?

This is just an illusion. Even if you complete all the trials, you will only receive the training of the inheritance test and will not receive any substantial rewards.

In other words, it doesn't matter whether he passes the test or not; the process is what matters most.

"bring it on."

Su Ping roused himself and decided to climb the nine-section dragon pillar first.

There was a hole at the bottom of the dragon pillar, and Su Ping led his four pet beasts inside.

Apart from the little skeleton, the Moon Chaser was already trembling with fear, its canine teeth tucked into its mouth, not daring to show even a trace.

The Purgatory Candle Dragon Beast also appeared quite fearful. After all, this was the land of the Dragon King's inheritance, where the dragon's might existed. Moreover, the hierarchy among dragon-type creatures was strict. Even a young high-ranking dragon beast could ride on the head of a low-ranking dragon beast and defecate and urinate, and the latter would not have any temper.

The Purple-Green Python reacted no better, coiling its body and not daring to stray too far from Su Ping. It only found a sense of security from Su Ping by relying on the power of the contract.

After entering the dragon pillar.

Su Ping immediately felt the dragon's might around him grow stronger, as if evil dragons were lurking in the dark tombs around him, glaring at him.

The psychological illusion created by this kind of intimidation can easily make people turn around and run away, as it is unbearable.

Su Ping raised an eyebrow slightly and continued forward.

In the chaotic realm of the dead, he had experienced too much and witnessed too many ancient powerhouses. Any one of them was far stronger than the master of this inheritance site, this fallen dragon king.

As a result, Su Ping felt almost no dragon's might within this inheritance site.

Go deeper in.

Su Ping saw a golden dragon suddenly emerge from the darkness, baring its fangs and roaring at him.

It was powerful and imposing.

The proud Purgatory Candle Dragon Beast beside Su Ping was so frightened that its scales stood on end, its body trembled, and it tucked its head under its wing. The short wing tightly covered its head and body, as if it wanted to burrow into the ground.

The Moon Chaser was even worse off; its eyes rolled back and it... fainted on the spot!

The purple-green python was in no better shape. Startled, it quickly coiled its body into a ball, its head tightly tucked inside, as if thinking that this would prevent others from seeing it.

Only the little skeleton, with its crimson eyes flickering in and out, tilted its head as if blinking, showing no fear.

Seeing his three pets in such a sorry state, Su Ping felt somewhat helpless. The golden dragon was clearly an illusion and posed no real threat. Although the illusion contained a trace of dragon soul power and possessed some of the aura of a dragon king, that was all.

And just like that, the little creatures were paralyzed with fear.

"They're like flowers in a greenhouse..." Su Ping shook his head. None of them had ever been trained. Even the cowardly Thunder Rat wouldn't be in such a sorry state.

Su Ping decided to stop walking and kicked the Moon Chaser Dog in the leg.

The Moon Chaser immediately regained consciousness, and upon opening its eyes, it saw the ferocious golden dragon once again.

With a thud, its neck tilted to the side, its tongue slipped out of its mouth, and it fainted again.

Su Ping was speechless, but continued to kick it awake, refusing to believe it.

After fainting seven or eight times in a row, the Moon Chaser finally had some endurance. When it woke up again, it barely managed not to faint again, but its head was drooping, and it looked downcast, not daring to look at the golden dragon.

Su Ping unleashed the killing intent skill on it.

Soon, the Moonhound's eyes turned bloodshot, and it roared at the illusion of the golden dragon.

Once the murderous intent subsided and it came to its senses, it was so frightened that it tucked its tail under its legs, howled as if begging for mercy, and a stream of foul-smelling urine gushed out from between its legs.

"You good-for-nothing." Su Ping said with exasperation.

The stench of urine was so strong that he didn't linger and continued deeper into the area, where he saw a small hole at the top of his head.

The internal structure of this dragon pillar is somewhat like a bamboo tube, with septa in each layer.

Su Ping tossed several pet beasts up to the second level through the hole, and then jumped up himself.

Upon entering the second level, Su Ping felt the dragon's might around him was much stronger, several times stronger than in the first level. At the same time, rustling sounds and soft snoring came from the darkness, as if an extremely terrifying dragon beast was sleeping.

"Is this Dragon Pillar Trial just about constantly increasing the intensity of the dragon's might?" Su Ping raised an eyebrow, feeling that he hadn't encountered any danger on the first level, and yet he had already reached the second level so easily?

He ignored the snoring and the sound of scales, and didn't care whether there were really dragons resting or not. He found the entrance to the third section and jumped up again.

When entering the third level, Su Ping only took the little skeleton with him, leaving the other three to remain on the second level, trembling in the dark and oppressive atmosphere to toughen them up.

Upon reaching the third level, Su Ping immediately saw a golden dragon rushing towards him. This golden dragon was rather thin, clearly a young beast, but it was still over ten meters long and looked ferocious.

Su Ping initially thought it was an illusion, but then he noticed the energy fluctuations around him and immediately sensed something was wrong. He then ordered the little skeleton to engage in battle.

When the little skeleton drew his sword, he immediately engaged the golden dragon cub in battle, and the fight was fierce and evenly matched.

"This is... an energy body?" Su Ping raised an eyebrow, not expecting that from the third level onwards, it would become serious and no longer a dummy illusion.

Soon, the little skeleton cleaved the golden dragon cub in two with a single strike and returned to Su Ping's side.

"Combat strength around the seventh rank, to have such strength at such a young age, truly a powerful bloodline among the dragons." Su Ping nodded inwardly and continued jumping up to the fourth level.

……

Two hours later, Su Ping emerged from the dragon pillar, accompanied by several pet beasts.

"It seems that the inheritance dragon pillar is based on the strength of the person who enters." Su Ping's eyes flickered slightly as he looked back at the dragon pillar. With his little skeleton aptitude, he could only barely reach the ninth section.

If his strength increases by another level, the dragon soul he encounters in the ninth section will likely be at the level of a king beast.

Su Ping analyzed it and concluded that, according to the system's evaluation, the qualification requirements for the ninth section of the Dragon King's Inheritance were above average.

From the beginning of chaos to the present day, it is of medium to high quality.

Given the Dragon King's arrogance, he clearly wouldn't just choose someone with a "medium to high aptitude" rating as his successor.

It can only be said that the system's rating of "above average" is perhaps already considered an excellent candidate for the fallen Dragon King, who is exceptionally talented and capable of serving as his successor.

Even the Dragon King, who far surpasses the King Beast, has such a vision. Su Ping can't imagine how heaven-defying a creature must be to be rated as superior or even the best in the system's eyes!

After leaving the dragon pillar, Su Ping took advantage of the remaining time to explore the dragon scales with several of his pets.

The dragon scales are behind the dragon bones. Each dragon scale is extremely large, about the size of a small town. The environments inside are all different. Some are gloomy and terrifying, inhabited by undead monsters, while others are all lava seas, inhabited by fire-type monsters.

Although each scale has a different environment, they are clearly separated and do not interfere with each other.

Su Ping discovered that this place was not only a place of inheritance, but also a good comprehensive breeding plane. He could choose different scale lands and breed pets with corresponding attributes in them.
