Chapter 562: Chapter 307: Louis Became the Dragon King? These Can Never Be Cleared Away (6,200 Words)_3

And on Louis’ side, something unusual was also happening.

He felt the Cursed Dragon Armor beneath his skin becoming unprecedentedly active.

The flames of purgatory merged into the Cursed Dragon Armor, beginning to blend with the essence of the Sapphire Dragon.

He had a sudden realization, finally understanding the nature of the Cursed Dragon Armor.

He saw in the endless void a decayed great dragon letting out a terrifying roar.

It was a dragon with a form similar to the Sapphire Dragon.

Its body emitted a familiar decayed scent, a symbol of the undead.

"Ah, so it’s you."

He had already recognized the identity of the dragon that evolved to a demigod-level ancient dragon.

More than a year ago, he had journeyed with the Moonlight Cat Cat Group to Dragonbone Prairie to fulfill Alice’s long-standing wish.

There lay a young Sapphire Dragon that had personally killed Alice’s former group members.

However, at the end of the battle in Dragonbone Prairie, Alice discovered the young Sapphire Dragon had turned into a living corpse, thus uncovering the truth of their attack years ago.

In a certain timeline, with the fall of Sean and Fafnir, the last living Sapphire Dragon perished alongside them.

The destruction of the Sapphire Dragon Race resulted in an unprecedented curse spreading across the world.

This curse could generate endless negative energy, forming bizarre creatures like Dragon Demons in regions rich with such energies.

Yet, since a living corpse is still called a living corpse, it suggests the body retains some traits of a living being.

In an IF line, the young Sapphire Dragon, regaining control over its consciousness, broke free from the King of the Living Dead’s shackles.

Then, the final curse of the Sapphire Dragon naturally converged into this decayed yet slightly active young dragon.

With the lament of the Sapphire Dragon Race, the cursed dragon was born.

The neither-living-nor-dead Cursed Dragon was inherently endowed with everything the Sapphire Dragon possessed.

It had the perfect power of a Sapphire Dragon, but... ultimately, it was no longer a true dragon.

So it could only cast a curse upon the world.

A curse upon the world that destroyed its kind.

Until one day, the Cursed Dragon, already embarked on the path to divine ascension, turned back after defeating all enemies.

In the river of time, it sensed a possibility so unbelievable to it.

In that timeline, the Sapphire Dragon Race could still continue its existence.

"Let’s make an exchange; protect my kin, and I’ll grant you my power."

In the mysterious realm, it seemed Louis was confronting the Cursed Dragon across the river of time.

"Sean and Fafnir are my friends," Louis said lightly, without giving a response.

"Is that so, then it’s settled."

In an instant, an invisible force spread around, twisted spiritual ability repelling the people nearby.

Limuru sensed something and suddenly transformed into a massive black screen, protecting Louis within it.

In the black screen, the Cursed Dragon Armor appeared on his body.

It started in its basic form, then transitioned into the released form, and finally, endless cursed power spread around Louis as pale yet strong dragon bones emerged, and the continuously forming flesh enveloped him in the heart of the dragon.

The exquisite body of the Sapphire Dragon bore faint magic power circuits and mysterious runes, with a phantom crystal crown atop its head.

When Louis inside it opened his eyes, so did the Sapphire Dragon.

This was the ultimate form of the Cursed Dragon Armor, the Dragon King’s incarnation.

...

[Location: Dragon Empire]

The Bronze Dragon King, who had been in slumber, suddenly opened its eyes.

"Another of our kin has stepped onto the path of divine ascension? Strange, why does this power feel so hollow, as if it were forcibly elevated through authority."

It let out a howl, and in an instant, its consciousness soared, entering a realm of illusion.

This was the origin where all dragons could inherit bloodline memory.

A semi-plane built by generations of dragon powerhouses, existing between reality and illusion.

Its name was—

Jade Dream Realm.

In the depths of the Jade Dream Realm, the consciousness of the Bronze Dragon King quietly descended into the Dragon Hall.

Soon after its arrival, beams of light also descended upon the Dragon Hall.

These were the consciousnesses of Dragon Kings from various dragon races.

Those dragon branches ascending to demigod status automatically obtained a spot in the Dragon Hall.

Afterward, even if a new demigod appeared in that dragon branch, only one could sit on the throne in the Dragon Hall.

Thus, the dragons referred to that throne as...

The Dragon King’s Crown.

Representing the authority of the strongest dragon in that branch.

"A new throne has been created."

A Dragon King murmured softly.

The Bronze Dragon King looked towards the direction where the new throne formed, and after a moment, said curiously:

"This throne... is it the Sapphire Dragon’s throne, which had dissipated?"

There was a lot of discussion in the scene, as ever since the death of the Sapphire Dragon King years ago, the throne of the Sapphire Dragon Race had collapsed.

"A new demigod has appeared in the Sapphire Dragon Race? What good news!"

"Indeed, since that lifeforce frenzied dragon died, no one has inherited the throne. But this throne seems so strange..."

"Yes, the aura is so terrifying, comparable to the strongest among us demigods, but why does the power of the throne feel so hollow? As if it were elevated by some means?"

"Has the Dragon King, who ascended to demigod, reincarnated?"

"Who just ascended to Dragon King status and has almost completed their path to divine ascension?"

"But the throne has just been formed."

"Isn’t it possible that this guy, like that dragon in the painting from back then, is not a naturally born dragon race but a Dragon King born afterward?"
