187: Chapter 52 Artifact Rank Desolate Dragon Yin (Part 1)_1 187: Chapter 52 Artifact Rank Desolate Dragon Yin (Part 1)_1 As the blue dragon tendon was fully tuned, a layer of misty blue smoothness glided over the surface of the zither like ripples on water, and the zither insignia, made of thirteen Giant Divine Dragon Teeth, even emitted a low hum.
No one knew why this was, but Ye Yinzhu could feel the astonishing rhythm within the body of the zither.
He even found that after the tuning of the Desolate Dragon Yin’s Zither, there was no need for further tuning.
It seemed as if the blue dragon tendon had grown on the Ancient Zither itself, its contained Water Element was unmatched in its intensity.
Time was indeed running out, the dragon moon in the sky still on its way to being pletely full.
Ye Yinzhu moved quickly, stringing one dragon tendon after another onto the zither.
Starting with the first one, the Water Dragon Tendon, he proceeded in order, followed by the Fire Dragon Tendon, Earth Dragon Tendon, Fenglong Tendon, Golden Dragon Tendon, Black Dragon Tendon, and Silver Dragon Tendon.
The most distinctive of course was the Silver Dragon Tendon, flickering with the light of six colors, symbolizing the elemental fluctuation of four types of magic plus two other mixed magics.
The elemental fluctuation within the Silver Dragon Tendon was the most violent, as if it had a soul of its own, gently throbbing.
The moment the Silver Dragon Tendon was finally tuned, Ye Yinzhu suddenly felt a violent tremble in the depths of his soul, and his right hand involuntarily glided across the strings.
A sharp coldness came from the zither strings, and before he could react, the tiny wounds his fingers got from the strings had already smeared blood on them.
Simultaneously, all seven strings vibrated, and nearly at the same time, seven dragon roars, both profound and soaring, sounded.
It was an utter shock.
The resonance of the zither caused Ye Yinzhu’s mind to go blank, as if he saw seven immensely powerful Giant Dragons leaping up from the Desolate Dragon Yin’s Zither on his lap.
The seven Giant Dragons interweaved in the air, with their enormous souls residing as if to cover the entire Dragon Domain.
The dragon moon, still not fully silver-purple, but the Dragon Bones in the Dragon Domain seemed to have received a summons, their colossal bodies trembling lightly.
Outside the Black Forest.
Xing Can who had been waiting anxiously was stunned.
From his position, he couldn’t see the dragon moon, but he clearly noticed the milky-white radiance that had risen from the Dragon Domain not long before.
It was almost a month since Ye Yinzhu had gone in, and he still hadn’t e out.
However, Xing Can had a feeling that he wasn’t dead, that he must still be alive.
Suddenly, one after another, colorful lights soared up from behind the Black Forest.
Those were dragon-shaped lights, emitting an unprecedented strong force of the spirits that almost hit him in the face.
Xing Can felt like his body had pletely frozen as the earth-shattering roar of the dragon caused his entire body to tremble violently.
He didn’t know what had happened, but the sound of the dragon’s roar seemed to show him the Dragon Domain shattering.
As an adult Silver Dragon, at this moment, his heart was filled with panic.
“The chilly winter breeze, the clear sound of clinking jewelry.
Heavenly Coercion Destruction Kill, Old Dragon Song of the Deep Sea.
This is the real Old Dragon Song of the Deep Sea!” Ye Yinzhu gently stroked the smoothly flowing dark golden body of the zither.
The originally dazzling light on the seven strings, or rather, the seven dragon tendons, had now converged.
Inside their original brilliance, there was a touch of dimness, but that was not a weakening of power, but an inward concentration, just like the top-notch Dragon Soul Wood of the zither body.
He had succeeded, not only had he succeeded.
The blood sacrifice that naturally occurred at the moment of the zither’s creation and the phantom of the seven dragons soaring into the sky told Ye Yinzhu that this brand-new Desolate Dragon Yin’s Zither had reached the Divine Artifact rank.
Even without The Zither’s Soul, the remnants of the Seven Dragon Kings within the seven dragon tendons and the Dragon Soul soaked in top-notch Dragon Soul Wood were enough to propel it into the realm of Divine Artifacts.
Of course, Ye Yinzhu knew that with his own abilities, he was far from enough to create an Artifact rank Ancient Zither.
It was mainly because the materials used this time were too good.
Without the Sword of Nox made from a giant sacred dragon horn, without that millennium-old top-notch Dragon Soul Wood, without the Dragon Tendons from the late Seven Dragon Kings, how could he have succeeded?
Each of these materials, when taken out individually, were almost equivalent to Divine Artifacts, and their near-perfect bination formed this Ancient Zither.
Naturally, it would be a Divine Artifact.
However, Ye Yinzhu could feel that the zither was still missing something, like the crucial finishing touch, the most important thing of all.
It was the last catalyst that would fully integrate these Divine Artifact rank materials.
The Soul Fire in Nox’s eyes finally brightened for a moment during the creation of the Ancient Zither, but Ye Yinzhu could tell that it was only a flickering eback, as the dimness of his breath couldn’t be concealed, especially as his Spiritual Imprint had already begun to dissipate—a prelude to being reduced to ashes.
“The moon is about to be full.
Ye Yinzhu, as a Foreign Silver Dragon, I’m entrusting this to you.
I hope my spirit can see you saving our Dragon Clan’s Sacred Place.”
Ye Yinzhu glanced at Nox, who now seemed to have collapsed on the ground, lacking even the strength to stand.
“Nox, before I start, can you tell me who killed you?
Is there really a force in this world that can contend with a Giant Divine Dragon?”
Nox fell silent for a moment, the Soul Fire in his dragon eyes flickering intensely, “Of course, there are.
Even a Giant Divine Dragon is not invincible in this world.
Even though we from the Dragon Clan are at the top of the food chain, there are still enemies that can threaten us.
Moreover, there are many things in this world that you humans do not know.
In our era, the Ryuzakinus Continent was so tumultuous!
Even I had to hide to avoid that powerful evil.”
“A powerful evil?” Ye Yinzhu was startled.
If Nox considered it powerful, how terrifying must that entity be!
The Giant Divine Dragon before him, though weakened to such a state, still possessed such formidable power that he could alter the phases of the moon.
How could anything be stronger than a Giant Divine Dragon in its full glory?
Nox seemed to reminisce about the past and said with a bitter smile, “In terms of bat power, I never feared any creature.
However, that evil power seemed endless.
Had it not been for the alliance of all races to seal them away, your humans might not have bee the rulers of the Ryuzakinus Continent, and of course, the culture of all races would have been eradicated.
However, you don’t need to know this; I cannot reveal such secrets.
But I can tell you who killed me, as payment for you soon helping me to stabilize the Dragon Domain.”
Ye Yinzhu was curious but did not ask any further questions.
Nox’s reluctance to divulge the secrets of the ancient battle was clearly out of some concern.
“The one who killed me was our nemesis of the Dragon Clan.
Of course, he did not have an easy time after killing me.
We died together.
As his sword pierced my chest, my magic blasted him to smithereens.
He was indeed very powerful, and I could feel that his soul, even more solid than mine, did not shatter.
Do you know who the nemesis of our Dragon Clan is?”
Ye Yinzhu’s mind raced, as if he had guessed something, “Could it be Behemoth?
The one who injured you, was it the Amethyst Behemoth?” He did not know why he would say such a thing, but recalling the scene of Zi Yi severing the Black Dragon Ye Xingxu with a sword, he unconsciously blurted it out.
Nox looked at Ye Yinzhu in surprise, “You actually know about the Amethyst Behemoth.
It seems you are very knowledgeable!”
Ye Yinzhu’s eyes widened in shock as he gazed at Nox.
He was utterly speechless at the revelation that it was indeed the Amethyst Behemoth—a real Amethyst Behemoth!
That meant Nox had been killed, along with the ancestor of Zi.
So, the Amethyst Behemoth was indeed just as powerful as the Giant Divine Dragon.
“Elder Nox, can you tell me exactly what the Amethyst Behemoth is?” Since he had always resented the Dragon Clan’s previous persecution, he usually addressed Nox by name, but now, in his eagerness to learn of these matters, he instinctively used a respectful tone.
Hate filled Nox’s voice, “Although I detest the Behemoths most of all, especially the Amethyst Behemoth, I must admit the strength of the Behemoth Tribe.
The Amethyst Behemoth can be said to be one of the ancestors of the Beastman Clan, and also of the Behemoth Beast.
In the oldest records of the Ryuzakinus Continent, the ancestors of the Beastman Clan are the Four Sacred Beasts, of which the first is the Amethyst Behemoth.
The Amethyst Behemoth was strong enough to contend with me.
But like me, only one could exist at a time.
After my spirit perished, perhaps the Dragon Clan would have the chance to give birth to another Giant Divine Dragon.
Meanwhile, the life span of the Amethyst Behemoth Clan is not as long as that of our Dragon Clan; they live to about a thousand years old.
Every ten thousand years, the bloodline of the Amethyst Behemoth awakens once among the Behemoth Beasts.
That is also when the Behemoth Tribe is strongest.”
The foremost of the Beastman Clan’s Ancient Four Great Divine Beasts, the most pure and noble bloodline of the Beastman Clan’s ancestors.
Zi!
So your origin is so formidable.
“Elder, what about the other three Sacred Beasts of the Beastman Clan, and how powerful are they?”
Nox replied, “The Four Sacred Beasts of the Beastman are all formidable, each at the rank of a rank Ten Magical Beast.
However, the other three pale in parison to the Amethyst Behemoth.
Although they are also rank Ten Magical Beasts, they are nothing to fear and have always looked up to the Amethyst Behemoth as their leader.
They are…
Ah!
The full moon has e again, quickly.”
Just as he was getting to the important part, Nox’s voice took on an urgent tone, and the giant dragon head lifted to gaze at the sky.
Yes, it was another full moon for the silver-purple Dragon Moon.
