Dragon Tamer-Chapter 743 - 747: Fear of God

Chapter 743: Chapter 747: Fear of God

Peng Chen saw this scene, and anger welled up inside him.

Although he had only known the old farmer for a month, back in Dragon Gate, the old man had shared all he knew about planting Spirit Roots. Honest individuals were rare in Dragon Gate and the old man was certainly not one of those evil spirits that drag others down into vile acts; he was truly benevolent in his teachings…

There are many types of divine beings.

Those who farm and cultivate are also gods.

In Peng Chen’s eyes, the old farmer was a deity, who could bring blessings to the hardworking citizens of any territory he went to.

Now, to see such an elderly man, with his white hair, being humiliated by a Violent God, was unbearable!

...

It was as if the old farmer, pressed into the mud, knew of Peng Chen’s youthfulness; even in his dire situation, he shook his hand at Peng Chen, signaling him not to harbor any emotions or attempt to resist.

Peng Chen forcefully swallowed his anger and, following the aggressor’s orders, meticulously packed away the Spirit Roots he had tirelessly cultivated over the month.

“Your Spirit Roots are rather stable. But since you’ve been obedient, I’ll only extinguish one of you to supplement my cultivation base. Choose amongst yourselves,” said the divine being Hua Chou as he accepted the offering of Spirit Roots, speaking in his usual indifferent tone.

“Tianshu God, we have only focused on planting Spirit Roots and have no desire for Divine Enthronement. Whenever any followers of the Superior Tianshu God come here in the future, we can offer them Spirit Roots to lend them our support,” pleaded the old farmer god.

“You have a point, but I have already made up my mind and don’t wish to change it,” Hua Chou said with a smile, bearing an attitude of willing to listen, yet completely unconcerned with what was being said.

Peng Chen and the old farmer god were at a loss for how to respond.

“If you won’t choose, then it’ll have to be you, old man. Old fools who don’t die naturally are a blight. Don’t waste Dragon Gate’s Spiritual Source. Your death could nourish a territory, which would be a service to us, Tian Shu citizens,” declared Hua Chou.

Raising his foot, Hua Chou kicked towards the old farmer god’s aged face. With that kick, both the forest and the Lingtian exploded into pieces, and the head of the old farmer god burst open like a watermelon, spattering brain matter and blood on Peng Chen.

Kneeling there, Peng Chen’s face was covered in the brain matter of his temporary mentor, stunned into inaction.

Even though he was a Loose Immortal who had traveled many lands, he had never seen such a tyrannical Superior God!!

“That look in your eyes is bringing trouble upon yourself, understand?” Hua Chou noticed the anger in Peng Chen’s eyes, and he slowly walked toward him.

His steps were deliberate, drawing ever nearer as he looked down upon Peng Chen, who was kneeling on the ground.

Peng Chen bowed his head, not wanting Hua Chou to see the uncontrollable emotions rising in his eyes and on his face.

Hua Chou deliberately tilted his head to get a look at the expression on Peng Chen’s face…

He stretched out a hand, and a black energy formed in his palm, spinning like a whirlwind blade.

Peng Chen immediately realized that he was about to be extinguished as well, but in his final moments, he did not want to die on his knees.

Just as Peng Chen was about to strike at Hua Chou, Hua Chou, showing complete disregard, turned his back to him, presenting it to Peng Chen as if he didn’t consider Peng Chen to be a threat at all.

Just as Peng Chen was about to act, he saw a man standing not far from the Lingtian, walking over with a very unique, blood-red Spirit Immortal Sword at his side.

“Are you also here to collect these Spirit Fruits?” Hua Chou asked the newcomer, smiling.

“Sort of,” Zhu Minglang replied as he walked along the field’s ridge, glancing at the steaming remains of the Divine Travel Body Shell. Even without witnessing the incident, he could guess that the barefoot god had killed the old man who simply wanted to tend to his own crops.

“What a pity I got here first. But I can share half with you,” Hua Chou said, still smiling, casually taking some of the Spirit Pearl Fruits from the bag and tossing them to Zhu Minglang.

Clearly, Hua Chou thought Zhu Minglang was another tribute collector.

Zhu Minglang caught the Spirit Pearl Fruits, his gaze passing through Hua Chou to look at Peng Chen, whose face was scalded by the blood.

“Do you know each other?”

“A brief encounter,” replied Zhu Minglang.

“Out of respect for you, brother, I’ll spare his life,” Hua Chou said after securing his own Spirit Pearl Fruits, then walked away toward Mount Zhi Tian as if nothing had happened.

He walked barefoot, and with each step forward, the earth seemed to naturally rise to meet him; it wasn’t long before Hua Chou disappeared into the distance.

Zhu Minglang watched as Hua Chou left.

Truth be told, it was somewhat difficult not to know of Hua Chou within the Tianshu God Domain, as any Terrestrial Temple, Divine City, or place of tranquility had some statue or mural of Hua Chou—they were all there so people could pray to Hua Chou for a peaceful night’s protection.

“Thank… thank you,” Peng Chen managed, his emotions not yet fully calmed.

“Having encountered that Violent God, you should have exhausted all your bad luck by now,” Zhu Minglang patted Peng Chen on the shoulder and returned the half bag of Spirit Pearl Fruits that he had taken for himself back to Peng Chen.

But Peng Chen did not reach out to take it.

With a forced smile, he said,” “Surviving a great disaster is also thanks to my fateful encounter with a nobleman like you. Seven Stars Divine Resentment Hua Chou from Tian shu God Domain is just a bully who fears the tough. He didn’t dare to fight with you and even voluntarily offered you half of the fruits.”

“I’ve only managed to take a few steps ahead of others at Dragon Gate,” Zhu Minglang looked in the direction where Hua Chou had left.

In fact, Zhu Minglang had contemplated acting against Hua Chou for a moment.

Meeting Hua Chou here was a very rare opportunity.

If he had slaughtered him here, his cultivation base would plummet to rock bottom, and once outside the Dragon Gate, Hua Chou wouldn’t pose any threat.

But Zhu Minglang eventually dismissed the thought.

Since Hua Chou was one of the Seven Stars Gods, and also the strongest deity in the Tian Shu God Domain, he couldn’t possibly be as simple as he appeared. Who knew if he had some way to protect his cultivation base…

Starting a life-and-death conflict with him now seemed unnecessary, especially considering the calm and collected manner in which he had just departed. It wasn’t necessarily that he was afraid of Zhu Minglang; perhaps he simply regarded him as a peer.

In truth, Zhu Minglang was indeed ahead of some god-level beings.

However, that still didn’t mean much. If he couldn’t find the path to Divine Enthronement, he would end up like the other lost souls, having to come up with all sorts of odd methods to keep his cultivation base from falling and to depart Dragon Gate safely.

“I know I’m not suited for fighting and killing, and I’m aware that following this path means enduring some humiliations. I just didn’t expect it to be so hard to accept when it actually happened. It seems my cultivation is still insufficient, not cowardly enough, not clear about my own situation. My master was even waving his hands at his dying breath, signaling me not to be impulsive…” Peng Chen said with bitterness.

“It’s okay. Stay true to your heart, and you’ll eventually find the way. There’s no need to get disheartened just because of one rotten deity,” Zhu Minglang consoled him.

“This is for you, it should be of great help to you,” Peng Chen took out a Thick Scale Fruit and offered it to Zhu Minglang.

“What is this?” Zhu Minglang asked, puzzled.

“It should help enhance your cultivation base, and it seems to affect not just your cultivation within Dragon Gate. My master said this item is rather precious and rare even within Dragon Gate. I found it by chance,” Peng Chen explained.

Zhu Minglang looked at the special Cultivation Fruit, momentarily lost in thought.

So, there were indeed treasures within Dragon Gate that could enhance one’s cultivation base!

That indeed made it a rare treasure!

“Then what about you…” Zhu Minglang hesitated for a moment.

“If you hadn’t come, this thing would have ended up in the hands of that Violent God. As a Loose Cultivator like me, with no power to bring order to the world or to stand against barbarous gods, I still hope that the vast world will have more gods with their own principles like you,” Peng Chen squeezed out a smile and spoke earnestly.

“Alright then, with a temperament like yours, how did you become one of the Divine Chosen…” Zhu Minglang said.

“Alas, I didn’t want to. Everyone says I have extraordinary talents, the reincarnation of a deity, but I’m inherently slow and cautious, and I don’t like cultivating those powerful Divine Skills.”

“I’m just groping my way through now. If I am lucky enough to become a higher entity in the future, I’ll look after you,” Zhu Minglang said.

“We’ll talk about that later, for now, I should find a safer place to bring honor to the teachings of my master. Hopefully he can find peace in the outside world,” Peng Chen said with resignation, shaking his head.

“Don’t worry about it. People at his level of cultivation don’t rely much on their cultivation base. As long as they can benefit the community, they will rise up quickly…” Zhu Minglang said.

…

The Spirit Pearl Fruits had more energy than Spirit Rice; this half bag could sustain all of Zhu Minglang’s dragons’ cultivation bases for a month.

Of course, the Thick Scale Fruit was an even rarer treasure. Zhu Minglang gave it to the Nuwa Dragon, who needed cultivation base and Spirit Root enhancement the most at that moment, and with it, after leaving Dragon Gate, she would virtually be a being close to a deity!

With the help of the Thick Scale Fruit, the Nuwa Dragon’s cultivation in Dragon Gate had been raised directly to the Quasi-god level, her strength should now be on par with Bai Qi’s.

Thus, the Sword Spirit Dragon, Bai Qi, Nuwa Dragon had all reached the Quasi-god level, and there was also the Demi-god Level Heavenly Slaughter Dragon…

No wonder Hua Chou, whose cultivation was suppressed, did not dare to rashly engage in combat with Zhu Minglang; he must have realized that Zhu Minglang was more than just a Sword Cultivator, especially since the Sword Spirit Dragon had already shown a cultivation at Quasi-god level.

“Were you tempted to kill him?” Mr. Jinli asked.

“Yes, it was a rare opportunity, but after I got close to him, I felt that his cultivation base must have reached True God level. There wasn’t a great chance of winning, and I risked letting him escape,” Zhu Minglang nodded in agreement.

“It’s a bit of a pity. You have managed to get ahead of some gods within Dragon Gate. Facing those with grievances, you really could have gone all out. Of course, those True Gods aren’t pushovers either. Without certainty of success, they wouldn’t just wander aimlessly in Dragon Gate; we must consider the overall situation,” Mr. Jinli spoke earnestly.
