Chapter 967: Chapter 479: Slaying the Main God Candle Dragon_2

"Phew—"

With the speed of Yun Bao, it wouldn’t take long to reach the area where Lord Candle Dragon rested. However, as Lu Ran and the others were passing through a sea area, a terrifying exotic beast wrapped in the Power of Wind and moving at an extremely fast speed suddenly appeared among the clouds. It seemed to have started chasing them.

"What is that?" Lu Ran, lying on the cloud, looked up and back and was slightly startled.

The sky darkened instantly. It was a Roc Bird with a body so massive it seemed to cover the sky as dark clouds.

Its eyes were deep and bright, and it quickly caught up with them.

[Race]: Roc

[Attribute]: Water, Wind

[Species Level]: Upper Legends

[Growth Level]: Level 100

After Lu Ran scanned the creature’s information through the Data Eye, he was slightly taken aback.

He had encountered a familiar being.

Before Yun Bao became a god, she used a Roc Feather, which was shed by a Roc.

"Who are you, and why have I never seen you before?" The Roc caught up but did not immediately hunt Lu Ran and the others as prey, possibly because Yun Bao’s strength was too formidable that it rivaled that of the Roc, making it wary.

However, even though the Roc did not consider Yun Bao and Lu Ran prey, Lu Ran was bright-eyed. After flying around Blue Star, this was the first Upper Legends he had encountered.

Otherwise...

"Strange beings like clouds, very strong."

"And you, I have never seen such a strong human... youngling." The Roc continued speaking.

Yun Bao glanced at the Roc.

She wondered in her heart if Lu Ran wanted to kill it.

[No rush, let’s find out more first.] Lu Ran said, "Roc, I have heard of you."

"We are from a special place; it’s normal for you not to know."

The Roc "Oh"ed, saying, "Where are you going in this direction... Could it be that you are also heading to join Lord Candle Dragon?"

"Hmm?" Lu Ran was startled and said, "What do you mean, you too?"

The Roc was surprised and said, "Indeed, I have been stuck at this realm for a long time, unable to break through. So not long ago, I visited Lord Candle Dragon to seek guidance on how to achieve a breakthrough."

"However, he did not teach directly, but asked me to come again today. He will set up several challenges, and if I pass, he would take me as his disciple."

Hearing this, Lu Ran was silent.

It was good that he asked more; otherwise, it would have been awkward to attack a Roc who had an appointment with Lord Candle Dragon before visiting him.

"We also want to follow Lord Candle Dragon, which is why we specifically came here," Lu Ran casually said.

"It shows! However, what’s the relationship between you guys, that cloud-like being, why don’t you talk?" The Roc looked solemnly at Yun Bao, feeling that this little guy’s strength definitely did not lose to his own, already at the Peak State of God Level.

But at this level, it’s extremely difficult to advance further and surpass the God Level.

Currently on this planet, the Roc only knew of Lord Candle Dragon as a life form that transcended the God Level.

"It doesn’t like to talk," Lu Ran said with a slight smile. "I can speak on its behalf."

"By the way, Lord Roc, do you know of a Divine Tree called Jianmu?"

"I don’t know," the Roc said while flying. "I’ve never heard of it."

"Well then... we’ve arrived..."

Both Yun Bao and the Roc’s speeds were extremely fast, and in just a few words, they had arrived at the large mountain where Lord Candle Dragon resided.

While searching for Jianmu, Lu Ran and the others passed this mountain, which seemed ordinary, but anyone with sufficient understanding of Space could sense that within these ordinary-looking mountain ranges, a Secret Realm was hidden, faintly emitting a terrifying aura.

Even if one couldn’t sense these, if they stayed a few more days, they should know that a monster inhabited this area.

After all, in this region, the transformation speed between the scorching summer and harsh winter was extremely fast, and even the light and darkness were not affected by the external stars, forming their own system.

"Lord Candle Dragon, I’m here."

The Roc shrank and landed at the foot of the mountain, shouting out loud. Seeing someone else shouting on his behalf, Lu Ran remained silent.

In a while, on top of the mountain, along with a ripple in space, Lu Ran saw an old man in plain clothes walking out.

In the Roc’s eyes, however, he saw a Roc flying out from another world.

The old man seemed strange to Lu Ran because he did not feel like a human, nor even a living being but more like a ghostly Spiritual Body, ethereal and illusive.

"Lord Roc, you’ve arrived."

"Waiting to kill me."

The Roc said, "Finally able to accept the assessment."

"Heh..." The old man nodded and then looked towards Lu Ran and Yun Bao.

"Gentleman, may I know the purpose of your visit?"

"Xiao Lu has wandered half his lifetime. Hearing that Lord Candle Dragon is the king of Blue Star, I specifically came to follow and become part of Lord Candle Dragon’s retinue," Lu Ran said.

Even though Lu Ran could meet Lord Candle Dragon directly through other means and talk to him, he still decided to take the challenge to complete the legendary task.

"Is that so."

The old man slightly closed his eyes and after a moment reopened them.

"Just call me Mountain Soul. I was created by Lord Candle Dragon, without a fixed form. Different races see me differently."

"Next, if you have the chance to see Lord Candle Dragon, it will be the same; Humans see Lord Candle Dragon with a human face and dragon body, so do not be surprised. Lord Candle Dragon’s image will align with the most familiar Race in your hearts."

"Lord Candle Dragon is already aware of your request. You are very lucky; Lord Candle Dragon is very interested in you. He sensed that you and Mr. Cloud are nearly one entity, the first time seeing such a power system, so your assessment has been waived, and you can directly become subordinates of Lord Candle Dragon." Mountain Soul said.
