Fiancée Stolen by MC, I Trip Them up-Chapter 338 - 240: Serpentine Molting!

The True Dragon didn’t die?

Zhao Yi was slightly stunned, but then became calm.

He had suspected this before.

After all, the True Dragon is an ancient being, seemingly immortal.

Zhao Yi heard from his Divine Dragon that, in the "Battle of Ancient Extinction" tens of thousands of years ago, the True Dragon was one of the main forces.

In the end, all the other Great Daoist Sages who participated in the battle died.

The True Dragon, though severely injured, survived.

The Purple Gold Divine Dragon even speculated.

That over the years, the True Dragon wasn’t actually healing.

It might have absorbed the Dao Rules of the other Great Daoist Sages from that time.

All these years, it hid in the Cultivation World, actually to fuse those rules.

The Purple Gold Divine Dragon spoke with certainty.

It even suspected that those Great Daoist Sages who fought alongside the True Dragon were actually deceived and betrayed to death by it.

Though there’s no evidence, the Purple Gold Divine Dragon claimed it knew the True Dragon’s underlying schemes.

The True Dragon would definitely sell out its comrades on the battlefield!

Because the other dragons of the True Dragon Race had also been deceived and killed by it.

The complete mastery of the "Path of the Dragon" by the True Dragon came even from such betrayals.

Zhao Yi was always wary of the True Dragon.

If he had the chance, Zhao Yi wanted to eradicate the True Dragon thoroughly.

Zhao Yi hadn’t forgotten that upon their first meeting, the True Dragon nearly killed him with Dragon Breath.

As long as the True Dragon remains alive, Zhao Yi won’t be able to sleep well.

Now, hearing the Sage of Time confirm the True Dragon’s survival, Zhao Yi felt a strange sense of relief.

Next comes the task to enter the Little World and eliminate it!

The protagonist hadn’t encountered the True Dragon before.

Upon hearing the Sage of Time’s words, his expression resembled Zhao Yi’s previous bafflement.

"The True Dragon is a despicable villain?"

The protagonist shook his head, his worldview nearly collapsing!

The Sage of Time seemed unperturbed by the protagonist’s predictable expression.

Upon hearing the protagonist’s words, the Sage of Time solemnly explained, "This is the influence of the Path of the Dragon’s rule, where the dragon’s image is majestically upright, commanding belief."

"Unless one masters similar Dao Rules or completely opposite Dao Rules to the brightness rule, it’s easy to be influenced by the Path of the Dragon and believe the True Dragon to be a bright and upright sage!"

"Similar to the brightness rule, there is the Path of Thunder, with the Purple Sky Divine Thunder standing out. It is the epitome of brilliance and righteousness. If it transforms into a spirit, it would undoubtedly uncover the True Dragon’s disguise."

"The other is the Path of the Dead. It is utterly dark and evil, entirely opposite to the Path of the Dragon, so the True Dragon’s true nature cannot escape my scrutiny."

After hearing these explanations, the protagonist was surprised, "Dao Rules have such effects?"

Then he asked a question that Zhao Yi too was desperate to know.

"Where can one find Dao Rules?"

"Just kill!"

The Sage of Time replied nonchalantly, "The Spirit Realm and the Three Thousand Small Worlds have developed so much that almost all rules are claimed by someone."

"To obtain Dao Rules, you must kill the sages mastering them, then the rule will detach from their domain. In the Spirit Realm, people refer to this transition of rules as ’snake shedding’."

"The metaphor means shedding old constraints, allowing life to transcend and transform."

"In the final battle from years ago, the True Dragon supposedly stole the Dao Rules from other Great Daoist Sages using this method!"

The protagonist, deeply pondering after hearing the Sage of Time, glanced at Su Qianqian and contemplated, "I have transferred your memory and experience to Donor Su, equivalent to sharing a portion of the rules you controlled with her, so that’s why you came to kill her, to reclaim your rules?"

"Precisely!"

The Sage of Time unabashedly nodded.

She glanced at Su Qianqian, her eyes cold, "By merging my Divine Soul into this woman, you actually saved me a great deal."

"After my original body perished, the rules of the Path of the Dead nearly scattered. Luckily, you merged my Divine Soul into hers, thus preserving the Path of the Dead."

"If I kill this woman, I will regain control of the Undead Rule, and even use her Divine Soul as a supplement."

"In fact, I owe you gratitude!"

The protagonist didn’t believe a single word from the Sage of Time.

Earlier, when he entered the small woods, the Sage of Time’s identity hadn’t yet emerged.

At that time, she kept provoking Su Qianqian, likely wishing to die at Su Qianqian’s hands.

Thus, the protagonist conjectured that the Sage of Time’s method to recover fragments of the Path of the Dead wasn’t to kill Su Qianqian, but to be killed by her.

The protagonist initially considered leaving directly, letting Su Qianqian and the Sage of Time battle.

Now it seems he can’t leave so hastily.

He must first investigate this matter thoroughly.

The Sage of Time didn’t know what the protagonist was thinking.

After speaking, she gave a meaningful look at the Buddha’s Light behind the protagonist’s head.

Her tone then became sinister.

"Kid, you’ll soon understand what snake shedding means?"

Hmm?

The protagonist was startled, though his expression remained unchanged.

He calmly looked at the Sage of Time and casually said, "Your cryptic talk doesn’t affect me."

The Sage of Time paid no heed to the protagonist’s refutation.

Her gaze remained on the Buddha’s Light behind the protagonist’s head, suddenly asking, "Where does your Buddha’s Light come from?"

The Sage of Time had deep impressions of the Buddha’s Light.

To be accurate, she had deep impressions of the Buddha. 𝗳𝗿𝐞𝕖𝘄𝗲𝕓𝗻𝚘𝚟𝕖𝐥.𝚌𝕠𝕞

The Sage of Time originally believed the Undead Magic’s only nemesis was Light Magic.

Until later, she encountered the Buddha.

Under the radiance of Buddha’s Light, undead creatures controlled by Undead Magic were instantly transcended.

Light Magic is purification.

Light restrains darkness, darkness similarly influences light.

These magical concepts are easy to comprehend.

But the Buddha’s Light’s transcendence was eerily enigmatic.

Tens of thousands of years have passed, yet the Sage of Time has not figured out the principle under which Buddha’s Light restrains undead creatures.

What agitated her most was Buddha’s Light restrains undead creatures unilaterally.

In other words, Buddha’s Light entirely vanquishes Undead Magic, but Undead Magic cannot suppress Buddha’s Light as it does with Light Magic.

That’s very frustrating!

Fortunately, later the Buddha vanished after entering the Spirit Realm.

Only then did the Sage of Time breathe a sigh of relief.

Before in the Spirit Realm, upon spotting the Buddha’s Light behind the protagonist’s head, the Sage of Time immediately thought of the Buddha, which led to her urgent inquiry about the Buddha’s whereabouts.

The Sage of Time assumed the Buddha intervened in her Divine Soul’s return, focusing all her attention on guarding against the Buddha.

Unexpectedly, Zhao Yi’s Divine Soul Avatar suddenly intervened, transferring her to the Little World to guard against disaster, ultimately causing her downfall amid the Chaos Storm’s World-Ending Divine Thunder.

If not for the Sage of Time’s cunning Divine Soul Avatar leaving numerous contingencies, she would likely have been the most oppressed sage to die in Spirit Realm’s history.

"Do you know of Buddha’s Light?"

The protagonist was quick-witted, swiftly responding, not answering but counter-questioning, "Is there an issue with Buddha’s Light?"

Kekeke...

The Sage of Time suddenly uttered a peculiar laugh.

"Buddha’s Light is part of Buddha’s Great Dao; wait and see, the Buddha will be coming to kill you soon!"
