Grinding EXP From Fireball Skill

The Saint Dragon King opened his mouth and spat out the half of a Divine Fragment the Dragon God had given him.

Golden brilliance filled Li Wei's vision. The object before him seemed to be the most dazzling thing in the world, and he couldn't look away for even a moment.

Compared to the Divine Fragments of the Beast God and the Elf God, the Dragon God's was much larger, and the Power it contained was far greater.

Furthermore, the Divine Fragment was suffused with Divine Power.

This was why the Dragon God's Divine Fragment radiated such an astonishing brilliance.

The Saint Dragon King had also relied on the residual Divine Power within the Divine Fragment to easily repel the Naga Race's Evil God.

The Divine Fragment slowly descended, and Li Wei extended his hands to catch it.

Cradling the Divine Fragment, he looked at the Saint Dragon King and said, "If you give this to me, what about the Naga Race's Evil God?"

The Saint Dragon King laughed. "A mere nameless Evil God isn't worthy of the Divine Fragment's Power."

Suddenly, two massive whirlpools appeared in the Underground Sea.

A colossal octopus tentacle, fifty to sixty meters in diameter and over a kilometer long, shot out from one whirlpool, slamming down toward the Saint Dragon King on the island.

From the other whirlpool emerged the same black-furred beast claw that had just been injured.

The black-furred claw lunged for Li Wei.

The Evil God's target was the Dragon God's Divine Fragment in Li Wei's hands.

The Saint Dragon King seemed to have anticipated this.

He beat his wings and soared into the sky.

He seized the immense octopus tentacle and tore it to shreds. The Evil God's flesh and blood rained down as a gory torrent of shredded meat.

After shredding the Evil God's tentacle, the Saint Dragon King opened his mouth and unleashed a blinding pillar of golden light.

Holy Dragon Breath!

SIZZLE!

The black-furred beast claw was seared by the Holy Dragon Breath. Its fur turned to ash, and its flesh sloughed off, disintegrating into nothingness.

When only bone remained, the black-furred beast claw unwillingly retracted back into the whirlpool.

WHOOSH! BAM!

A tremendous blast of wind pressure washed over him. Li Wei quickly ducked his head and planted his feet firmly to avoid being blown away.

The Saint Dragon King landed on the island, exuding an imposing aura.

His peerless gaze swept over the vanishing whirlpools.

The fierce winds subsided, and the island returned to calm.

Only then did Li Wei raise his head and look at the Saint Dragon King.

'The Saint Dragon King's strength is truly immense, enough to clash head-on with an Evil God Level foe.'

'The Saint Dragon King must still be in his Peak Stage right now.'

Li Wei finally understood why it was said that even Divine Spirits would give a wide berth to a Giant Dragon in its Peak Stage.

A Giant Dragon in its Peak Stage was indeed incredibly powerful, possessing might comparable to that of a Divine Spirit.

Unfortunately, even for the Holy Giant Dragon race, whose lifespan was considered quite long among the Dragon Race, their Peak Stage lasted for barely more than a thousand years.

As long as Divine Spirits did not die, they were eternally in their Peak Stage.

And they were not constrained by a limited lifespan.

Divine Spirits had already transcended the dimension of living beings.

They were a higher-dimensional life form.

Over tens of thousands of years, very few beings could transcend the dimension of life and ascend to become Divine Spirits.

Now, a chance to ascend in a single step lay before Li Wei.

He looked down at the Dragon God's Divine Fragment in his hands.

The Beast God's Divine Fragment and the Elf God's Divine Fragment were also in his possession.

If he so wished, he could obtain the Power of a Divine Spirit right now.

He could enter the life dimension of Divine Spirits... and become a Pseudo-God.

Even as a mere Pseudo-God, it was an existence countless people could only dream of achieving.

Li Wei put away the Dragon God's Divine Fragment.

He looked at the Saint Dragon King and said, "I will not use these Divine Fragments, and neither will Saint Xi."

"Because I have confidence that we can become true Divine Spirits through our own abilities."

A steadfast conviction welled up in Li Wei's eyes.

He was absolutely certain this was something he could achieve.

The Saint Dragon King looked into his eyes, moved by the emotion he saw there.

After a moment of silence, the Saint Dragon King said, "Perhaps this isn't the best choice for you."

"How you choose is entirely up to you. I was only responsible for safeguarding this fragment."

"Following the Dragon God's will, I was to give it to a fated person in the future."

The Saint Dragon King had no need for a Divine Fragment; his own Power was greater than that of a Pseudo-God.

The Beast King and the Elf King might not have been as powerful as the Saint Dragon King.

However, they were equally uninterested in a Divine Format that could only make them a Pseudo-God.

Because, like Li Wei, they were confident they could take that step and become Divine Spirits on their own.

They were waiting for the right moment.

Sometimes, ascending to godhood too early was not a good thing.

The Saint Dragon King glanced at Li Wei and said, "Of course, you must also be prepared to face tribulations."

"The difficulties you are about to encounter may far exceed your imagination."

Li Wei said resolutely, "I am confident."

"I will definitely become a god."

"Me too,"

Saint Xi chimed in, moving closer.

A confident look appeared in her eyes.

The Saint Dragon King did not discourage this promising young descendant.

'To have such immense strength at her age... perhaps she really does have a chance to become the next Dragon God.'

The Saint Dragon King smiled and said, "Of course. But before that, you must first complete the bloodline inheritance awakening of our Holy Dragon Race."

An eager look filled Saint Xi's eyes.

"How do I awaken it?"

The Saint Dragon King said, "I will help you activate the power of your bloodline inheritance. You will then face the trials of the inheritance. As long as you pass all the trials, you will awaken the greatest Power of the Holy Dragon Race."

Li Wei asked, "How long will this take?"

The Saint Dragon King replied, "I'm not sure. It could be as short as a few years, or as long as several centuries."

When Saint Xi heard that the Holy Dragon Inheritance might take several hundred years to complete, she immediately had second thoughts.

Li Wei sensed her hesitation and quickly said, "Saint Xi, I'm sure you'll pass the trials with flying colors."

He smiled and added, "Don't be afraid. I'll wait for you."

Saint Xi hesitated for a moment, then, with her confidence restored, walked up to the Saint Dragon King.

"I want to accept the Holy Dragon Inheritance."

The Saint Dragon King nodded and lowered his head, touching it to Saint Xi's.

A golden light appeared between their two massive heads.

The Saint Dragon King's was a pure golden brilliance.

Saint Xi's golden brilliance was intermixed with a seven-colored radiance.

Upon seeing this, the Saint Dragon King's eyes couldn't help but show surprise.

"The inheritance of a Time Dragon?"

VWOOM!

The golden light flared, enveloping the entire island.

When the light faded, Saint Xi was lying on the ground, deep in slumber.

Li Wei could sense the intense fluctuations in Saint Xi's soul.

'What she's experiencing isn't as simple as it looks.'

The inheritance of the Holy Giant Dragons primarily occurs on a spiritual level.

Saint Xi was asleep and might not awaken for several years, or even decades or centuries.

When she did, she would have activated her full potential, and her strength would have risen to another level.

Li Wei didn't plan to wait here for that long.

He had his own plans.

Before leaving, Li Wei voiced a question he had for the Saint Dragon King.

"Saint Dragon King, I have a question. Is there any relationship between the Merfolk Race and the Naga Race?"

Hearing this, the Saint Dragon King lowered his head and said, "A long, long time ago, the Naga were actually part of the Merfolk Race."

A curious expression appeared on Li Wei's face.

The Saint Dragon King continued, "In ancient times, the Merfolk Race worshiped the Sea God. At some unknown point, the Sea God suddenly vanished. Having lost their Divine Spirit's protection, the Merfolk Race was invaded by an Evil God."

"During this time, a portion of the Merfolk Race chose to believe in the Evil God."

"Those Merfolk who abandoned their faith in the Sea God and chose to believe in the Evil God were cursed, gradually transforming into their current hideous forms. They later became known by the Merfolk as the Naga Race."

"The Naga, however, believed the curse came from the Merfolk. They had originally been Merfolk who turned to the Evil God simply to survive. Now, their hearts were filled with rage and resentment, and they came to see the Merfolk as their mortal enemies."

"Their enmity has continued to this day. During that time, certain events caused the Evil God-worshiping Naga Race to disappear from the Main World and Fall into the Abyss."

"It wasn't until the Sea Abyss appeared, opening a gateway to the Abyss, that the Naga Race returned to this world, acting as the vanguard for the Abyss's invasion of the Main World."

"Influenced by their ancient enmity and also seeking to prevent the Main World's invasion by the Abyss, the Merfolk Race established Sea Abyss City as their stronghold. They use it to suppress the exit of the Sea Abyss and stop the Naga Race from leaving."

"The Naga Race has been unable to open the exit for a long time, so the Evil God behind them grew impatient and decided to show up here."

After listening, another question arose in Li Wei's mind.

"Where did the Sea God go?"
