Zither Emperor Chapter 182 Chapter 50 The Giant Divine Dragon Nox Part 1

182: Chapter 50 The Giant Divine Dragon Nox (Part 1) 182: Chapter 50 The Giant Divine Dragon Nox (Part 1) “You…” Nox seemed very angry, but he had to suppress his rage, “Fine.

I’ll tell you.

Because I forcibly reversed the rules of the Dragon Domain, I’ve over-exerted my soul power, which has now reached the point of plete exhaustion; I will soon perish like ashes scattered to the wind.

Within the Dragon Domain, every half month, the Draconic Moon changes from waxing to full, when dormant souls awaken and return to their original bodies until the full moon turns back to waxing.

To stop the killing, I forcibly changed the full moon to waxing, consuming vast amounts of soul energy.

Should the souls of the Dragon Clan perish in their fights against each other, then our sacred Dragon Domain would crumble as well.

To save us from this crisis, I can only believe that you have the ability to restore their tranquility.

I also ask you to help the Dragon Clan.

After all, having been acknowledged by the Dragon Domain, you are also a member of the Dragon Clan!”

After hearing Nox’s words, Ye Yinzhu suddenly realized the gravity of the situation, which explained why Nox had so humbly implored him.

To be honest, he no longer possessed the capability to perform the “Ten-Sided Ambush” again.

This excessive depletion brought him to the brink of collapse; had it not been for the life energy in Green Silk and the Mind Protection intimidating the spiritual imprint, he would have been long gone.

He had no idea how long it would take to recover to his original state.

Even if he did recover, because he had used the Nine-needle Stimulating Divine Technique, his Zither Magic would regress from Third Rank Bravery Qinxin Sword to Second Rank.

More importantly, the killing intent and anger within his heart had vanished with the performance of the “Ten-Sided Ambush.” Even with an artifact rank Ancient Zither like Cascade Beads, he was unable to perform it again.

If he didn’t trust Nox, he would just wait for death here; if he trusted him, at least there was a chance.

With this thought, Ye Yinzhu made up his mind, and his tone softened somewhat.

Even with a sliver of hope for survival, no one wished for death.

“Alright, I can go to your place.

However, the elemental fluctuations within your Dragon Domain are too intense and wildly erratic, making it impossible for me to proceed.”

Nox breathed a sigh of relief, “That’s easy to handle.

Although not much of my power remains, I can still control these magic elements.

You’d better recover your strength quickly.”

Ye Yinzhu was secretly astonished by Nox’s words; to control such violent magic elements when one’s soul was nearly shattered showcased Nox’s terrifying power.

He wondered how Nox would pare to Silver Dragon King, Howard.

By this time, some of his spirit had returned, and after eating some fruit and sitting cross-legged, he began cultivating his Zhu Douqi.

The Dragon Domain once again became peaceful, with only the steady breathing of Ye Yinzhu audible.

The depletion this time was far too great; even though Ye Yinzhu’s body had undergone modifications when he signed the equal life pact with Zi, it still took a whole day to recover some of his strength.

His foot injury was simply treated with the Zi Zhu Magic Needle, which was fortunate, as the bones had not been damaged.

“Nox, are you still there?” Standing up, Ye Yinzhu called towards the direction of the Dragon Domain.

“I’m here.

Has your strength recovered?” Nox’s voice sounded somewhat eager.

“About fifty percent.

I’m ing over now.” Since Ye Yinzhu had decided to take the risk, there was no need for hesitation.

Bearing the pain in his right foot, he limped towards the center of the Dragon Domain.

Indeed, the magic elements within the Dragon Domain did not trouble him anymore; upon entering the domain, an invisible force controlled the surrounding magic elements, parting them to either side and creating a clear path for Ye Yinzhu to advance unimpeded.

He touched the Life Guardian on his left wrist; obviously, more than a day had passed since he fell unconscious, and the Absolute Defense of Life Guardian could be used once again.

Although this Absolute Defense might not save his life this time, it was still a measure of protection.

Limping towards the center of the Dragon Domain, Ye Yinzhu felt the immense power of the Dragon Bones even more acutely as he passed by them.

Their colossal bodies appeared so majestic that even the weakest Dragon Bone could easily tear him to shreds in his current state.

Although the Dragon Domain appeared boundless in the distance due to the reflective energy, its actual size was already vast.

Under Nox’s guidance, Ye Yinzhu walked slowly, taking half a day just to travel, without yet seeing the so-called center of the Dragon Domain.

“Human, can you move any faster?

I don’t have much time left.

Controlling these magic elements is accelerating the consumption of my soul,” Nox’s voice now conveyed his urgency.

By this time, Ye Yinzhu understood he still had utility value to Nox; at least until the crisis of the Dragon Domain was resolved, Nox would not harm him.

With his foot injury somewhat mended, he quickened his pace, speeding towards the heart of the Dragon Domain with the help of his Zhu Douqi.

There was no need for deliberate searching; as he crossed over some dragon bones larger than those on the outside, he finally saw the core of the Dragon Domain.

In the center of the Dragon Domain, there stood a gigantic ancient tree.

In form, it resembled the trees in the Black Forest, only much larger and of a brownish-yellow color.

That peculiar aura, similar yet many times more powerful than the Desolate Dragon Yin’s Zither, swirled in the vicinity.

Beneath the tree, a Dragon Bone laid quietly sprawled on the ground,, its identity as the target of Ye Yinzhu’s search confirmed mainly because of the Soul Fire burning in its eyes.

Unlike other Dragon Bones, the fire of its soul was milky-white.

Among the seven types of Dragon Bones—Water, Fire, Earth, Wind—their Soul Fires were respectively blue, red, yellow, green.

The Soul Fire of a Metal Dragon was pale gold, a Silver Dragon’s was multicolored, and a Black Dragon’s was deep purple.

There was no Dragon Clan with Soul Fire like its milky-white color.

“Are you Nox?” Ye Yinzhu stopped thirty meters in front of Nox.

“Yes, I am Nox, the only Giant Divine Dragon of the Dragon Clan that exists with a Spiritual Imprint,” Nox said as it slowly stood up.

Its body wasn’t particularly large, being about thirty meters in length and ten meters in height, which was much less imposing pared to the massive Silver Dragon King, Howard.

However, not only was its Soul Fire different from that of other Dragon Bones, but even its bones were distinct.

The bones of other Dragon Bones, regardless of the Dragon City they once belonged to, were a pale white.

Nox’s bones were also white, but on top of that, they had an additional layer of lustrous sheen.

They looked like milky-white crystals with subtle silver specks shining within.

“You are a Giant Divine Dragon?” Ye Yinzhu exclaimed, his pupils suddenly constricting.

Giant Divine Dragons were legendary beings within the Dragon Clan, surpassing rank Nine Magical Beasts and even the Peak Ninth Rank Zi rank, they were rank Ten existences!

Nox said indifferently, “Correct, I am the only surviving Giant Divine Dragon of the Dragon Clan that still possesses a Spiritual Imprint.

But what of it?

Since I died in battle and returned here, although I have retained all my memories and Soul Imprint, my strength has also diminished to a mere fifth of what it was before.

Otherwise, how could the Dragons in the Dragon Domain possibly constrain me?”

Ye Yinzhu didn’t make a sound, but a storm raged within him.

Although Nox did not emit any powerful aura, Ye Yinzhu’s keen Qinxin heart could clearly sense that Nox was stronger than the Silver Dragon King Howard.

A rank Ten Magical Beast Giant Divine Dragon, at only one-fifth of its strength, was still stronger than the Ninth Rank Zi rank Silver Dragon King; what level of strength could a genuine Giant Divine Dragon reach?

Nox sighed as it lowered its head to look at its body, and Ye Yinzhu noticed that, although distinct, its bones had many breaks.

The most obvious injury was a huge scar between the two sides of its sternum, nearly splitting it in two.

That must have been the fatal wound it had received.

“Human, I don’t yet know your name,” said Nox as Ye Yinzhu had already e close, but Nox seemed in no hurry now.

“My name is Ye Yinzhu.”

Nox nodded and said, “Now that you have e here, I can grant you recognition from the Dragon Domain.

However, you must help me resolve the crisis of the Dragon Domain before you can leave.

Are you willing?”

Ye Yinzhu laughed, and not just with his face, his heart was also laughing.

Suddenly, the term ‘driving a hard bargain’ flashed through his mind, a phrase he remembered seeing in a book at the Imperial Library of the Milan Empire.

What is driving a hard bargain?

It is to apply pressure on the other party when they need something from you to get more benefits.

That is driving a hard bargain.

For Ye Yinzhu, such behavior was beneath him.

But that was in the past.

Who was he facing now?

Nox, once the mightiest of the Dragon Clan, a Giant Divine Dragon.

Silver Dragon City had inflicted so much pain on him that it caused a great shift in his mindset.

Hence, the words driving a hard bargain clearly surfaced in his mind.

Even as a Dragon Bone, there must be quite a few benefits to gain from him.

“Why do you laugh, Ye Yinzhu?” Nox looked at this apparently weak human before him with some discontent.

“I laugh because I am willing to help you.

But do you think I have the ability to assist you now?

In order to use the ‘Ten-Sided Ambush’ song, I forcefully stimulated my spiritual power, causing destructive damage to my body that couldn’t possibly be resolved anymore.

Moreover, resolving ‘Ambush from Ten Sides’ would require more spiritual power than using it.

That’s something I simply can’t do,” Ye Yinzhu said.
