Chapter 278 CHAPTER 277: The Stone Statue Of 16th Platform-3

The black dragon's eyes suddenly turned red and began to scan over Joey's body first.

"Ah, what the hell!" "I can't feel any essence qi from his body!" The black dragon screamed in surprise. He then soon calmed himself down, continued checking his body and said, "Oh, I feel a dragon aura from his body. Hmm, so this boy must be a halfling dragon and must have something to do with the unsealing of my second body inside this stone statue. Good, good, let me first find out which family of dragons you are from." A small portion of black soul force containing a strong dragon aura shot out from his eyes and entered Joey's body through his forehead. "Hah, what is this thing? So powerful! I can't really get my dragon soul essence through it inside his soul sea." He then muttered to himself, "Fine, let me check your heart root then." The small portion of black dragon soul essence suddenly changed into a small black dragon and quickly moved toward Joey's heart. Finally, it entered Joey's heart.

"Oh, interesting! Three heart roots. According to logic, he must only have two heart roots. Today, this boy kept surprising me again and again." The black dragon king spoke. He then chanted a spell on dragon tongue. After that, the black dragon soul essence inside Joey's heart scanned over the azure dragon root, which was currently snoring loudly.

"So he is from the Azure dragon family. Then let me check his other heart roots, too." He then continued to scan over the miniature tanned human inside Joey's heart, which exactly has the same look as Joey. "This heart root is mostly made up of the poison Dao, with a small amount of the mixture of the darkness law and ugh!… the 61st heavenly tribulation lightning is also inside this heart root. What the hell?!" the black dragon king exclaimed again after sensing the presence of the 61st heavenly tribulation lightning inside the Corruption Dao heart root. He then controlled the black dragon's soul essence inside Joey's heart and tried to scan the 3rd heart root, showing just the back of a man. "Begone!" A voice spoke softly, but the next moment, the black dragon soul essence was forced back and was about to send out of Joey's heart.

The black dragon king almost lost control of it. But when he was about to regain control over it. The azure dragon heart root suddenly appeared beside it, opened its mouth wide agape, and sucked it inside his mouth.

"What the freaking hell is going on?!" the black dragon king cried out loud and thought in his head, "Lucky me. I succeeded in releasing my consciousness from it at the last moment. Otherwise, it would inflict a heavy injury on my main soul. Hmm, this boy is really dangerous. Now I understand. That dragon heart root is not just simple azure dragon. It could devour my part of my dragon soul. So this left to only one conclusion. This boy is the one and only Soul Devouring Dragon of this millennium. That means the Legendary white dragon must have been born. It also means the imminent arrival of another realm war. "

The black dragon suddenly felt nostalgic and heaved a heavy sigh.

He then shook his head once. Then he began scanning over Chun Churan's body using the same technique that he used to Joey.

"This girl is also not bad. She is a beast tamer. Ho ho ho, she must be his woman. This is perfect. She shall come handy to him when in time of need. In my time, the beast tamers and the Soul Devouring dragon were always on bad terms and ready to kill each other on sight. No, we all dragon families had a strong grudge toward those beast tamers. But this time, ha ha ha. This boy managed to tame a beast tamer instead, this time. Not bad, not bad. Alright, time to check what kind of person you really are in action this time." The black dragon king closed his eyes, sending his consciousness inside his own soul-sea.

—------------------------------------

Both the consciousnesses of Joey and Chun Churan appeared inside a hut.

"Do you know where we are, brother Joey?" Chun Churan asked.

"No idea. It might be the memory of the black dragon king before he was alive." Joey responded, thinking that this must be the same thing that he had experienced in inheriting the stone statue of the 15th stone statue.

The next instance, a handsome youth appeared before them. He then looked at Joey and Chun Churan.

Joey saw Chun Churan frowning when the youth looked at them.

"Don't worry, Ran'er. It's just a coincidence. He could not see us at all," Joey said.

"But he seems to see us." Chun Churan responded as she took out her long sword from her space ring.

"Relax, I felt the same way before too, in my previous inheritance." Joey held her hand and tried to calm her down.

The handsome man turned his head around as if he was looking in their directions by pure coincidence and he didn't see any of them.

Seeing that, Joey and Chun Churan both relaxed themselves. But the next moment, the youth appeared behind them and asked, putting his head between theirs. "Why are you so tense? Calm down. I won't bite you, okay." he said.

Both Joey and Chun Churan moved out quickly and looked at him in alert. After reading the boldest note he left on the 16th platform, it was natural that both of them were acting like this.

"Fine, I will introduce myself first. Judging by your expression, you must have already read my last words and learned about my name, right? Anyway, I shall remind you again. I am Ao Shun, the Black Dragon king. And now you are currently inside one of my childhood memories. Don't be frightened, children. I give my words. I will not harm you two." The handsome word spoke to them with a friendly smile.

"Greetings, Senior Ao Shun. I am called Joey, and from the Tang Clan." Joey introduced himself politely while cupping his hands toward the man.

Chun Churan also cupped her hands and introduced herself, following Joey. "And I am Chun Churan, his wife. "

"Good, good. You two are a perfect match made by heaven itself." Ao Shun, the black dragon king, praised them while smiling ear to ear and he thought in his head, "This beast tamer girl seems to have complete devotion to this boy, too. Ha ha ha ha, this is freaking good. One of my dragon brethren has finally succeeded in taming a beast tamer. I'm so proud of you, boy."

Actually, during his period during those times, beast tamers were thriving all across the universes. They used to tame every strong beast that they wish. Even they began to tame those legendary phoenix, dragon, white tiger, tortoise, etcetera and succeeded. It was okay for sometimes as both of the beasts and tamers entered into an understanding. But gradually, after several generations, the beast tamers began to treat their beasts as more of a slave than their partners and tools for them to use, and sacrifice them at their wills.

For those legendary beasts, especially the dragon race, which was considered themselves the most prideful one, finally revolted and managed to break free after a colossal war between the whole Dragon race and those beast-tamer families. After that war, the Dragons regained freedom. But both sides suffered heavily, especially those beasts tamer families. So it was natural that they hated each other very much as much bloods had already spilled between them.

But it was actually a fact that those legendary dragons were also once tamed by those beast tamers which were etched in the history of dragons as a great taboo and blasphemy. So, when Ao Shun saw that Joey, a junior who also had dragon bloodline, managed to have a devoted beast tamer wife, it gave him a very satisfying feeling in his heart.

Ao Shun then looked at Joey more fondly and said, "Boy, have you heard of Soul Devouring Dragon? "

Joey nodded calmly. Judging from the way how Ao Shun spoke and looked at him, he felt closeness from him, as if a senior should treat his own juniors with kindness.

Seeing his calm face on mentioning this name, Ao Shun said to him again, "So, you already knew that you are the Soul Devouring Dragon of this Millennium, right?"

"Yes, senior Ao Shun. I learned about it recently. " Joey responded and asked, "Senior, are you really dead? I didn't experience like this in the previous inheritance stone statue."

"You mean you passed the test of that Immortal Pill Dao Master and already got his inheritance?!" Ao Shun, the Black Dragon King, asked.

"Umm, this junior has successfully got the inheritance of the Immortal Pill Dao immortal by luck." Joey responded politely. Actually, he didn't take any test as it had something to do with his purple-golden soul ball directly refining that thing.

Ao Shun thought in his mind, "This guy is really something. The more I try to understand him, the more I get surprised. Truly a freaking genius."
