Walker Of The Worlds

Chapter 2521  An Oath With The Dragon

The Flood Dragon couldn't help but be shocked by the energy hovering in Lin Mu's palm. It was something he was familiar with and something he had too; Beast Qi. But the amount that Lin Mu had was simply shocking.

The sliver of energy might not be longer than eight inches and an inch thick, but it was condensed from a lot of Beast Qi.

The normal Beast Qi most beasts were used to was simply in a gaseous form and was highly diluted. Only when they had lived for a long time, would they have gathered enough Beast Qi to turn it into a liquid form. But what was in Lin Mu's hand was not even liquid but rather solid!

It might look a bit liquid to the normal eyes, but it was merely its flexibility.

"I have my means." Lin Mu replied. "If you agree to make a deal with me, I'll give this to you." He added.

The Flood Dragon became silent hearing this. The offer was highly tempting to him, but he was still reluctant about it. Having lived for so long, the beast had become distrustful of most people, whether they be other beasts or humans.

In his past, he had multiple encounters with humans, most of which had not gone well. Not to mention, there were many that had tried hunting him down for materials or his bloodline too. As such, he couldn't help but be suspicious of it all.

"Even if you have that, it won't be enough to push open my bloodline limit." The Flood Dragon stated. "It might bring me close, but it won't guarantee it." He shook his head.

~SHUA~

In response, Lin Mu simply left his other hand and released another sliver of Beast Qi.

"Will this be enough? If not, I can provide more." Lin Mu stated.

The old dragon was left absolutely gobsmacked at how easily Lin Mu was showing the Beast Qi.

'Even in my peak I barely had three quarters of this Beast Qi condensed. How does he have so much?' The Flood Dragon couldn't even fathom.

The amount of Beast Qi that Lin Mu was holding in his hands was indeed quite high and was about a hundred times as much Beast Qi that Lin Mu usually gave to his tamed beasts. Of course, the over all amount that he had given his tamed beasts was a lot more, but this was still a major 'dose' of it.

It had actually taken around a third of all his immoral Qi stores to make this, thus the quantity was bigger than one might think.

"I'll do it!" With such an offer, the Flood Dragon couldn't help but yield.

"Good." Lin Mu smiled. "Don't worry, we'll make an oath so that none of us loses out later." He added.

"You know how to make those, too?" The Flood Dragon asked.

"Yes, we both can make an oath upon our bloodlines, can't we?" Lin Mu knew that it was the kind of oath that the beasts would take seriously.

"Oh… so you know more than just talk to beasts." The Flood Dragon was a bit surprised. 'There haven't been many humans that tried to talk before fighting me.' The beast thought to itself.

Most had either been too scared to do that, or were after the Dragon's materials, thus they ambushed him. The only few individuals that had talked to him in the past were rare and far in between.

It was one of the reasons why it had strove to get stronger and had reached its peak only to be stopped by its bloodline limit.

"Let's make the oath then." Lin Mu said as he held out his hand and sliced it open!

~SLICK~

"I Lin Mu, swear an oath upon my bloodline that I'll provide you with Beast Qi to lift your bloodline limit and free you from your prison. In exchange, you will grant us the Soul Fragment as well as stay non-violent with us." He stated the terms plainly.

"I, Qiulong Jiao the Flood Dragon of the Jiao plateau, swear an oath upon my bloodline that I'll grant Lin Mu and his companions safety, will stay non-violent and also provide him the Soul Fragment freely." The Flood Dragon stated while revealing his name.

~RUMBLE~

As soon as the Flood Dragon finished his words, a rumbling could be felt by everyone.

"What's happening!?" Crown Princess Shang asked.

"What is Daoist Lin Mu doing?" Daoist Chu questioned, seeing him suddenly slice his palm.

They had been unable to hear the conversation between the Flood Dragon and Lin Mu. To them, it only seemed like Lin Mu was standing there, waiting to get the Soul Fragment. They thought that there was some problem that prevented Lin Mu from getting the fragment.

"Is it the Golden Cage? Is it perhaps stopping him?" Lady Kang wondered.

~HUALA~ But before they could question further, the dragon suddenly opened its eyes.

"The flood dragon!" Ziran pointed at it. n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

~ROAR~

The Flood Dragon let out a roar that reverberated across the sunken city and a scale on the top of its head glowed.

It was none other than the Life Scale, and a drop of blood was released from it. The drop of blood came down and merged with the blood from Lin Mu's palm.

The two bloods swirled and turned into a runic symbol before splitting into two and merging back into Lin Mu and the Flood Dragon's body.

"The oath is completed." Lin Mu uttered.

He closed his eyes as he felt the effects of the oath and the Dragon did the same. Though to the dragon, the feeling was a bit strange as a hint of familiarity was mixed in it.

'His blood… Why does it have Dragon blood in it too?" the Flood Dragon was confused.

It sensed the feeling and tried to analyze it. Using its own bloodline, it could resonate with the Dragon Blood within Lin Mu's blood and found a figure forming within its mind.

~ROAR~

The Flood Dragon found its mind shaking with the roar of a being superior to it. Not only that but even a wave of suppressing spread in its bloodline, as a dominant being appeared!

"This bloodline… The Azure Dragon!?" The Flood Dragon was stunned. ~ROAR~

But that was merely the start as one after the other, two more figures rose from the bloodiness.

The first was that of a large horned bear with a triangular pattern on its fur. It gazed at the Flood Dragon with a fierce expression, as if feeling offended that someone tried to probe it. It was the Great Slumber Bear!

~KEWOOOOO~

The next figure was that of a large flaming bird. A burning hot heat that could melt mountains was felt as the proud figure of the Vermillion Bird revealed itself!

It glared at the Flood Dragon and let out a cry, intimidating it back.

'How can this be? Not one, but three bloodlines?' The Flood Dragon was utterly shocked.

In his shock he didn't fully get to notice that there was actually a difference in the bloodline figures. The Bloodline figure of the Great Slumber was fully solid, but the figures of the Azure dragon and the Vermillion bird were barely ethereal.

It was actually the pressure coming from the three beasts that hadn't let the Flood Dragon think properly.

"UGH!" Not wanting to bear it any further, the Flood Dragon let go of the link and it soon faded away.

~HUU~

This finally allowed it to relax and open its eyes once more as it gazed at Lin Mu.

Unlike the dragon, Lin Mu was completely calm and had no idea what it had just been through. 'Looks like he's a lot more trusting now.' Lin Mu could tell from the look in the Flood Dragon's large eyes.

Of course, he didn't know that the trust had increased due to something else.

'If he has the bloodlines of two guardian beasts, he is definitely not someone common. Has he been sent here by the temple for the sole purpose of destroying the Soul Fragment?' The Flood Dragon was well aware of the Four Guardian beasts as well as their temple.

While the temple mostly dealt with humans and other humanoid races, it didn't mean that there were no beast patrons.

In fact, there were some hidden temples that catered to the beasts as they too became their patrons.

Plus, the stronger beasts that lived in the Rust Sky world were all aware of them due to the bloodline memories they would all have. If not that, some of them might even get contacted by the temple to establish in alliance if not a treaty of neutrality.

With such a 'backing', the Flood Dragon Qiulong Jiao was a lot more confident in Lin Mu.

"How do we do this?" Lin Mu asked the dragon.

"You will first have to give me half of the Beast Qi, and stimulate my bloodline." The Dragon began to explain.
