Is this what a zombie is?

95. The dragon has nine sons.

A golden speck of light drifted toward the heavily injured and collapsed Dongfang Liang, landing in his palm.

The golden light melted upon touching the skin, and a warm current flowed into the body.

Where the warm current passes, the damaged meridians and torn internal organs are nourished, the injuries stop and the pain subsides.

Dongfang Liang smiled bitterly. His purpose in using the Green Wood True Qi was to get the Five-Clawed Golden Dragon Totem out of his control.

Unexpectedly, the five-clawed golden dragon was so fierce that it preferred to self-destruct rather than fall into the other party's control.

The scattered light particles after his self-destruction even fed back to him.

This cycle of cause and effect is truly wondrous.

However, their crisis did not end with this act of giving back.

Above the sky, the black-robed man forcibly reassembled the self-destructing five-clawed golden dragon, but all his efforts were in vain.

The five-clawed golden dragon totem was indeed reassembled in his hands, but what was reassembled was just an empty dragon shell. This empty shell had no spirituality whatsoever and was of no value whatsoever.

The most core totem power and the most fundamental national destiny dragon energy have returned to heaven and earth and to all people with that grand rain of light.

"Awooo—!!!"

The man in black robes looked up and let out a roar, a furious howl.

After venting his anger, his bloodshot eyes suddenly swept downwards, his gaze piercing through layers of rocks and dust, locking onto Ai Yi.

Dongfang Liang, Lawyer Luo, and Jiang Chen all only received a single point of light.

Ai Yi was different. He was almost standing in the middle of the golden rain of light. It could be said that the light spots were attracted by his destiny and fortune and gathered towards him.

Therefore, the gifts and inheritance he received were the most numerous and the largest, which included the Reverse Scale.

This reverse scale contains the core totem power of the five-clawed golden dragon, and now Ai Yi has inherited all of this totem power.

While others worked themselves to the bone, Ai Yi did almost nothing and yet reaped the greatest benefits.

The reverse scale landed on Ai Yi's brow, turning into a golden dragon scale mark that vanished in a flash.

At the very moment the reverse scale and totem power merged into Ai Yi's body, the true dragon energy combined with the totem power, and a world-shaking transformation unfolded within Ai Yi's body.

"hold head high!"

A dragon's roar erupted from Ai's body.

But this is only the beginning.

Immediately afterwards, a second, a third, a fourth... a total of nine distinct yet equally majestic and domineering dragon roars rang out one after another, resounding throughout the entire underground space.

Accompanied by the dragon's roar, a brilliant golden light shone behind Ai Yi, dazzling and spectacular.

Within that blinding golden light, nine dragon-shaped phantoms of different forms emerged one after another.

Qiuniu, who loves music and resembles an ox; Yazi, who loves killing and is vengeful; Chaofeng, who likes to look into the distance and stands at the corner of the palace; Pulao, which is coiled and loves to devour; Suanni, who is majestic and loves fireworks; Bixi, who is incredibly strong and can carry the Three Mountains and Five Peaks; Bian, who loves litigation and stands above the prison gate; Fuxi, who loves literature and coils around the inscriptions on steles; and Chiwen, who likes to keep things closed and guards the gates.

The dragon has nine sons, each different from the other!

Nine illusory figures hovered above Ai Yi's head, some majestic, some ferocious, some solemn, and some agile. Each figure exuded its own unique divine power, intertwining to form a domain that firmly protected Ai Yi in the center.

Dongfang Liang and Ximen Deng, who were not far away, were completely stunned by this miraculous scene.

"Holy shit..."

Even the usually calm and composed Dongfang Liang lost his composure at this moment and uttered a rare swear word.

He was able to borrow the power of the Azure Dragon totem only because of his family's inheritance, and even then, it was just borrowing. Before becoming the head of the family, he could only use the Azure Dragon Token to summon it.

For most people, let alone a totem, they might not even have a spirit pattern. Having a spirit pattern at all would be a cause for celebration.

After all, totems are not something that everyone can buy wholesale; they require a long period of time, at least thousands of years, nurtured by the spiritual beliefs of countless people.

In comparison, the probability of obtaining spirit runes is higher, and the drop rate is better.

But this kid in front of me did nothing, and just because he was lucky, he got a totem in one step, and not just one, but one of the nine sons of the dragon.

Okay, these totems are definitely available for wholesale now!!!

Although these nine totems are still weak now, they will become incredibly powerful in the future.

Where the hell can I get justice for this?

Dongfang Liang expressed his incomprehension and found it hard to accept. He closed his eyes, hoping that it was all his imagination, otherwise he really couldn't control his jealousy.

Standing nearby, Ximen Deng gritted his teeth in jealousy. He propped himself up and sourly cursed, "Is this what it means to be promoted to the Purple Star Emperor through sacrifice? Heh heh, it's simply unreasonable! I've worked hard for decades, and I'm not even as lucky as someone who was born into a good family."

Yes, that's right. So, being born into the right family is a skill in itself.

The man in black robes shared the same sentiment. Looking at the scene of the nine guards, he laughed instead of getting angry and said repeatedly.

"Okay...okay...okay!"

That laughter was filled with undisguised murderous intent.

He would never allow anyone to control this forbidden power.

What's more, this was something that should have belonged to him, but now it had been taken away by the other party. How could he not be angry?

Anger surged within him, the will to kill arose, and the killing intent was already present!

The man in black robes transformed into a bolt of black lightning, hurtling straight towards Ai Yi below.

His goal was clear: to extract the totem power before Ai Yi and Shan could fully integrate it.

Even if it's completely fused, it doesn't matter. At worst, it'll just take some effort to kill Ai Yi, extract his soul, and then slowly refine the totem power.

Just as the black-robed man's claws were about to make contact with Ai Yi, the nine totems hovering above Ai Yi's head sensed that their host was in danger and roared angrily in unison.

"hold head high!"

The nine dragon roars merged into one, transforming into a tangible sonic impact.

At the same time, the newly transformed Imperial Dragon Qi, guided by the Nine Sons Totem, condensed into a thick and solid golden barrier in front of Ai Yi.

Above the barrier, nine dragons roamed, golden light flowing, exuding an aura of supreme strength and masculinity that could not be violated.

boom!

The jet-black claws slammed heavily against the golden barrier.

A deafening explosion erupted amidst the ruins of the underground palace. The violent energy shockwave swept through, blasting away and crushing tons of boulders into dust.

But the golden barrier actually withstood the attack.

The man in black robes was unable to break through the golden barrier. Instead, he was forced back several steps by a recoil force.

To the man's surprise, he was injured; black smoke was rising from his fingertips, and a burning pain was emanating from them.

The injury wasn't serious, but he hadn't felt this kind of pain in a long time.
