Super God Pet Shop

Chapter 417 Nine Seals

The Dark Dragon Hound's appearance at this moment is vastly different from before.

A dog is still a dog.

But it's not as dog-like as before.

Its dark fur turned golden yellow, and its size doubled. Standing on the ground, it was seven or eight meters tall. Keep in mind that this was the height of its back when it was lying down. If it stood up, it would be fourteen or fifteen meters tall!

Its limbs are covered with thick golden scales, and its sharp claws are like dragon paws, capable of breaking mountains and splitting rocks.

On its back are seven or eight sharp dragon spines, clustered together like a sharp shark knife.

On its head are two large, sharp horns, like two ivory tusks, or like the horns on the head of an old goat, which look both domineering and strange.

The little skeleton and the Hellfire Candle Dragon Beast playing nearby, along with the Purple-Green Python, all came over, curiously examining this familiar yet unfamiliar little friend.

Su Ping glanced at it twice and quickly sensed its cultivation level.

It's still sixth order.

Su Ping was stunned for a moment, then breathed a sigh of relief, but was also a little puzzled. What happened to the promised inheritance? His cultivation level hadn't improved at all.

At this moment, the Dark Dragon Hound opened its eyes. Its previously jet-black pupils turned into a dark gold. The luster was somewhat gorgeous, but it also had a strange coldness, like the eye color of some cold-blooded creatures.

Su Ping circled the Dark Dragon Hound twice, but couldn't see anything else.

That's it?

As Su Ping was puzzled, a ray of golden light appeared and quickly transformed into the appearance of the old dragon soul, but its figure was much thinner than before, giving it an illusory feel.

"I have passed on my legacy to your battle pet. You must take good care of it and never break the oath we made."

The old dragon soul's voice sounded weak as it said, "To prevent its cultivation level from surpassing yours by too much, which would be too much for you to bear, I will split the inheritance into two parts."

"The source of its power is temporarily sealed within its body, consisting of nine seals. Each time a seal is broken, a portion of its power will be released. When the ninth seal is broken, it will inherit all the power I have accumulated throughout my life, becoming a legendary being at the pinnacle. As for the gate that traverses the starry sky, only it can break it open itself!"

"I will teach you how to break these nine seals. You can then break them according to your own circumstances."

"Each seal contains varying amounts of power. Unlocking the first seal will raise their cultivation to the eighth rank; unlocking the second seal will allow them to reach the limit of their title; and the third seal will help them transcend the mortal realm and become a legend..."

The old dragon soul suddenly let out a low roar, and a golden light flew towards Su Ping.

As the golden light shone on him, Su Ping felt a surge of information in his mind: the method to break the seal, and the power the Dark Dragon Hound would gain after each seal was released.

Su Ping suddenly realized why the Dark Dragon Hound's cultivation level hadn't directly improved; it turned out its power had been sealed. In that case, the old dragon soul was quite thoughtful, and everything he did was for Su Ping's benefit.

Su Ping was somewhat moved and said, "Go in peace, I will keep my vow."

The old dragon soul gasped slightly and said, "I haven't finished speaking..."

It took a deep breath and continued, "The source of its power has been sealed by me, but the other inheritance is the bloodline of the dragon and the secret techniques. I have imprinted them all into its body. Its bloodline is no longer that of the Dark Dragon Hound, but rather the Great Evolution Returning to Heaven True Dragon bloodline that I obtained. Although the bloodline is not pure, it can directly cultivate to the peak of the legendary level without any obstacles."

"Furthermore, after inheriting the secret techniques of our clan's dragons, its combat power will far surpass that of its peers. I hope you will cherish it!"

At this moment, the old dragon soul is speaking up for the dark dragon hound.

Judging from its tone, Su Ping seemed afraid that it would not take the Dark Dragon Hound seriously after it left. This was simply impossible. It could only be said that the old dragon king was overthinking it.

"Don't worry, it will always be my battle pet and partner!" Su Ping said, his expression unusually serious, especially when he said the last two words.

The old dragon soul gave Su Ping a deep look and nodded, this time revealing a hint of relief in its eyes.

Although it deeply regretted choosing this human, it was powerless to change the course of events and could only go all the way. What comforted it was that this young man was rather indifferent to other lives, but he cared a great deal about his battle pet.

"This is my true soul, residing in your sea of ​​consciousness. If you are fortunate enough to find the Dragon Realm, you can take out my soul coffin and bury it anywhere," the old dragon soul said. A huge demon coffin appeared behind it, which gradually shrank until it was only the size of a finger when it flew in front of Su Ping.

After obtaining Su Ping's consent, the demon coffin immediately flew into Su Ping's brow and appeared in Su Ping's sea of ​​consciousness.

Su Ping left it in his sea of ​​consciousness, thinking that when he returned to the shop, he would search through the cultivation world to see if he could find the Dragon Realm that the old Dragon King had mentioned. If he could find it, he could immediately fulfill his long-cherished wish.

"Go then, for I wish to be alone in the final stage of my life."

Seeing Su Ping accept the soul coffin, the old dragon soul's eyes became relieved, and its body became even thinner, carrying a sense of vicissitude and sigh.

Upon hearing this, Su Ping was suddenly deeply moved and gave the old Dragon King a long look.

A being who transcended even legends, yet his life ended in sorrow and loneliness.

"You can be considered my successor... This farewell... may we never meet again..."

The old dragon soul looked at Su Ping, and in its eyes, Su Ping saw a smile, relief, and a touch of nonchalance. Finally, the old dragon soul's figure faded away, and the surrounding golden primordial world gradually became brighter and brighter.

The only thing that can blind a person is darkness.

There is still light.

Su Ping was so blinded by the incandescent light that he could see nothing at that moment.

When he opened his eyes again, he saw green hills and grass, and felt a gentle spring breeze.

This is... outside the secret realm!

Su Ping was slightly taken aback.

Turning around, one can see the mountaintop behind them, which was originally the entrance to the secret realm, but now there is nothing in the air.

Thinking of the old Dragon King's last words, Su Ping felt a pang of sadness. After a moment of silence, he suddenly remembered something and slapped his thigh: "Damn it, I forgot to take the treasure!"

He was so heartbroken that his heart was bleeding.

But the next moment, Su Ping suddenly found that he had something in his hand.

It was a small golden bag, which looked more like a brocade pouch.

Su Ping was surprised. He opened it and immediately discovered that the brocade pouch contained a hidden world, just like his painting.

Inside the brocade pouch, all the secret treasures that the old Dragon King had shown him earlier were lying there.

Su Ping glanced at it and immediately let out a long sigh of relief.

Thankfully, the treasure wasn't lost.

He turned around again, glanced at the entrance to the secret realm at the top of the mountain, and sent a mental message to the dark dragon hound beside him, instructing it to prostrate itself and bow.

He himself also bowed deeply!

……

Having bid farewell to the secret realm, Su Ping knew that the old Dragon King was no more.

The existence that surpassed legends has fallen, and Su Ping will do his best to fulfill its long-cherished wish.

As Su Ping walked down the hillside, he sensed that there were still many lingering auras around him, suggesting that a large number of people had gathered there previously.

Su Ping's eyes flashed. It seemed that his previous guess was indeed correct. The outside of the secret realm was heavily guarded. However, the legendary old man did not expect that he could be teleported directly into the secret realm. Despite his cunning, he was still defeated by "ignorance".

"These scents haven't been gone long, so it seems the girl has already come out."

Thinking of the girl, Su Ping shook his head. Putting aside the fact that she was competing with him for the Dragon King's inheritance, the girl's talent was quite good. Perhaps he would meet her again in the future.

"Doggy, it's time to go home."

Su Ping took a few steps, looked at the Dark Dragon Hound following behind—it should be called the Golden Dragon Hound now—clapped his hands, flipped over and jumped onto its back, recalling the little skeleton and the Purple-Green Python to his pet space, then patted the dog's head:

"Come on, let me see how powerful you are now."

"Awoo!"

The Dark Dragon Hound remained as exuberant as before, letting out an extremely smug bark upon hearing this, and immediately took off running.
