Chapter 1178: Chapter 1178: Armored Traveling Dragon

Su Chengyu’s words had fallen, but the soul within the True Dragon Armor was still trembling continuously.

He did not believe that the other party would completely fail to understand his words, though full comprehension might be somewhat difficult for him, grasping the meaning behind Su Chengyu’s expressed thoughts should definitely not be a hard task.

This remnant soul had been sealed within the stone wall, isolated from the outside world, to maintain its peculiar state of continued existence.

But now the stone wall had been breached, and this lifeless Cave Heaven was simply insufficient to sustain its life.

Quickly, perhaps in a matter of days, or slowly, over the span of months, this remnant soul would utterly perish in this world of endless sands.

"Why bother with such futility?"

Su Chengyu remarked with some sentimentality.

He wanted to collect the Soul of a True Dragon as the True Dragon Reverse Scale for the armor, and though there was some self-interest involved, it was more out of a genuine sense of compassion.

After all, had it been Su Linyuan, his grandfather, with the presence of that Demon God Level True Dragon, there might still have been a sliver of hope for this remnant soul, at least a chance of borrowing a corpse to revive the soul.

And Su Chengyu’s Dragon Slayer act was the utter severance of hope for the lineage of the Cave Heaven Dragon Clan.

Watching the Soul of a True Dragon thrashing about within the True Dragon Armor, he could feel its energy growing fainter by the moment.

Though it was just a soul and lacked a physical form, it was precisely because of this that its condition was acutely perceptible to Su Chengyu; if this continued, not even a quarter of an hour would pass before the Soul of a True Dragon would completely vanish between heaven and earth.

Sighing deeply, Su Chengyu eventually softened his heart.

He reached out and opened a gap in the True Dragon Armor, then spoke to the Soul of a True Dragon for the last time.

"I’m sorry, this is the best escape I could find for you. If you are unwilling, then go."

Though by doing this he was practically allowing it to walk towards doom, ultimately Su Chengyu decided to respect its choice.

The Soul of a True Dragon immediately sensed the passage and was about to rush out of the armor when, at that very moment, it suddenly stopped.

Coiled at the opening, the dragon-shaped soul seemed to finally locate Su Chengyu, and a weak Divine Sense transmitted from within the armor.

"You... won’t kill me?"

Su Chengyu was startled, not expecting that within such a short span of time, the Soul of a True Dragon would actually learn to communicate with others.

But then, recalling the imminent fate of the True Dragon’s soul, he felt resigned.

"You are already dead, what point is there for me to obliterate you completely?"

Having been extremely restless inside the True Dragon Armor until now, the Soul of a True Dragon quieted down upon hearing these words and, after circling inside the armor, said softly, "This place... has a familiar scent."

"Yes, this Magic Artifact should ultimately consist of a hundred True Dragon Reverse Scales and indeed matches your attributes, which is why I had the idea of having you become the Artifact Spirit of this armor."

"Can I... borrow it?"

Su Chengyu was taken aback, then suddenly understood the meaning of the Soul of a True Dragon.

This little guy actually wanted to borrow the True Dragon Armor, temporarily using it as a sanctuary for its soul. Just moments ago it could not even communicate with Su Chengyu, yet now it had thought of this proposal, truly making Su Chengyu take notice.

Only...

"No."

Su Chengyu spoke decisively, "This True Dragon Armor is very important to me, I cannot lend it to you. If you wish to make use of this Magic Artifact, you have no choice but to accept me as your master."

The right to choose, Su Chengyu could give to him.

But Su Chengyu would not forsake a top-tier magic artifact like the True Dragon Armor for the sake of an unfamiliar soul.

Moreover, the only one who could maintain a cooperative relationship with Su Chengyu without acknowledging him as master was the Heaven-Mending Stone.

This Soul of a True Dragon, although rare in the world, still wasn’t worth the heavy investment from Su Chengyu.

The Soul of a True Dragon hesitated, circling within the True Dragon Armor, seemingly still struggling and unsure.

Seeing that the other party seemed truly tempted, Su Chengyu suddenly spoke again, "Actually, in this world, you are not the only True Dragon left. If you choose to follow me, I might have the opportunity to introduce that guy to you."

"Really?"

The Soul of a True Dragon said with some excitement.

"My attitude toward you is simply fortune if I gain you and fate if I lose you. I have no need to deceive you. I know an Azure Dragon; it’s my friend," Su Chengyu said.

Although the Soul of a True Dragon did not fully believe Su Chengyu’s words, looking at the opened gate on the armor, it ultimately did not have the courage to step out.

"Fine, I agree," it said.

It did not fear death; its readiness to resist to the end before Su Chengyu opened the gate was proof of that.

But Su Chengyu’s last words still made it unwilling to meet its end just yet.

The hope of seeing its own kin again was an urge it could not resist, bearing the last hopes of the True Dragon bloodline.

Unaware of the significant impact his casual words had made, Su Chengyu did not dwell on it, only moving to close the opening and then began the process of refining the True Dragon Armor and the Soul of a True Dragon together.

Although he had the experience of combining the Exit Cloud Sword with the Dragon Slayer, the Exit Cloud Sword had already been pre-refined by Ye Qingci before he arrived, so when it came to refining itself, Su Chengyu was an absolute beginner.

Luckily, the current task was much simpler than re-refining the Exit Cloud Sword, as the True Dragon Armor itself was already a King-grade Divine Artifact. With its own Small Opening, it didn’t even need a special space created for the Artifact Spirit.

The already high compatibility between the two meant Su Chengyu didn’t have to worry about repulsion issues. He simply applied the art of artifact refining taught by Ye Qingci, guiding the Soul of a True Dragon along a path to the Small Opening within.

Once the pathway was successfully opened, the Soul of a True Dragon naturally took residence in the little realm within the True Dragon Armor.

As a golden light flickered over the True Dragon Armor, the two became completely one.

The True Dragon Armor, which once had only form but no essence, now possessed both form and spirit.

"It’s done," Su Chengyu said, exhaling a long breath as he looked at the brand new True Dragon Armor with satisfaction. Its appearance hadn’t changed, as Su Chengyu’s skill in refining was not enough to alter this magic artifact.

But a Traveling Dragon now appeared in the center of the True Dragon Armor, its new occupant curious about everything around it, including its master, Su Chengyu.

"Dragon Slayer?"

"Master, I understand. I will teach this little one the rules of being an Artifact Spirit," the Dragon Slayer responded through their connected minds upon hearing Su Chengyu’s call.

Su Chengyu nodded and cautioned, "Be careful. After all, this fellow is of the Dragon Clan; don’t scare it with the aura you carry."

The Dragon Slayer suppresses demons, but as its name suggests, it has a stronger suppressing power against members of the Dragon Clan!
