Chapter 292 The Past of the Nine-Headed Dragon
Three thousand years ago, on that mysterious and vast continent, a soul beast called the Giant Dragon Lizard was born.
This giant dragon lizard is no ordinary creature; it is an extremely special alien species.
Its body is large and agile, covered with a layer of dark green scales, each scale shimmering with a metallic luster under the sunlight, as if it were a sturdy armor bestowed upon it by nature.
Its eyes, like cold stars twinkling in the deep night sky, exude an ancient and mysterious aura.
These giant dragon lizards are extraordinary by nature; it is said that they are born with the ability to awaken the elements of heaven and earth.
Even the worst members of the dragon lizard clan can awaken basic elemental abilities such as growing larger or smaller.
However, when it came to this giant dragon lizard, none of its abilities awakened.
This situation is extremely rare in the community, as if it had been forgotten by the god of fate.
Such an outcast is unacceptable within the dragon lizard community, and ultimately, it is ruthlessly abandoned by the community.
Having left the tribe it depended on for survival, it could only embark on an unknown journey alone.
With its enormous and powerful physique, it has virtually no natural enemies on this continent.
However, when night falls and all around is deathly silent, it can only curl up alone in a corner, without the company of its loved ones.
Its eyes were filled with loneliness and confusion, not knowing where it should go. This vast continent was large, but it seemed to have no place for it, and it didn't know where it should stay.
Until one day, the peaceful sky was suddenly broken, and a series of dazzling shooting stars streaked across the sky.
The meteor trailed a long tail, like a flame burning in the sky, illuminating the entire heavens.
One of the meteorites happened to fall straight down to the ground, and the point of impact was right in front of it.
The giant dragon lizard was already full of curiosity about its surroundings, and with the meteorite falling so loudly, how could it not be curious?
So it rushed toward the crater at its fastest speed.
Its massive body shook the earth slightly as it ran, raising a cloud of dust.
Perhaps it was fate that it was located closest to the impact crater, making it the first to arrive.
The crater was thirty or forty meters wide, like a huge scar that had been suddenly dug out of the earth.
Inside this enormous crater lay only a meteorite the size of a baby's fist.
Although the meteorite is not large, it is engraved with some very special patterns. Those patterns are winding and twisting, like some kind of mysterious ancient script, or like the mysterious code of nature.
The meteorite also emitted dazzling spots of light, which resembled flowing starlight and shimmered with captivating brilliance.
Of course, these glittering colors might not be very attractive to a dragon lizard.
Although dragons are naturally interested in things that glow, this is merely an instinctive curiosity and not enough to make them fascinated by it.
What truly attracted it was that the meteorite had begun to emit a dense spiritual energy.
The soul power emanated continuously, and the closer you were, the more you could absorb.
Once you get close, it's as if an invisible force makes you feel refreshed and invigorated, as if all your fatigue has been swept away.
The giant dragon lizard was born with a keen sense of treasures, and immediately realized that this stone was definitely a rare treasure.
In its eyes, the treasure was right in front of it, so it was naturally its own.
However, it is not the only one in the world who knows the value of the treasure.
Just as it was overjoyed and ready to claim the meteorite for itself, all sorts of soul beasts began to appear around the meteorite crater.
These soul beasts surged in from all directions, including many enormous and terrifying creatures.
Among them, two or three soul beasts had cultivation levels higher than the giant dragon lizard.
The powerful soul energy fluctuations emanated from them, permeating the surrounding air, as if the air itself had become heavy with pressure.
Their strength can be said to be infinitely close to the 10-year level, which is already an extremely powerful existence among soul beasts.
In front of these powerful figures, the giant dragon lizard instantly felt incredibly weak.
It could sense that its soul power was like the difference between a candle flame and the blazing sun compared to its opponent's.
However, at this moment, it was less than 50 centimeters away from the meteorite.
It knew that if it gave up the meteorite now, it would forever miss the opportunity to change its fate.
Therefore, in this extremely tense moment, it made a very correct decision.
Before the other soul beasts could react, it opened its blood-red maw and swallowed the meteorite in one gulp with lightning speed.
This action thoroughly enraged the other high-level soul beasts, whose eyes were filled with anger and greed upon seeing this scene.
They had gone through so much trouble to get here, how could they tolerate someone who was originally weaker than them taking all the treasure?
So they all rushed towards it, and just when the giant dragon lizard felt it was about to be torn to pieces by these angry soul beasts, a miracle happened at the last second.
Within a minute of swallowing the meteorite, the giant dragon lizard felt as if its body was on fire.
A surge of soul power was coursing wildly through his body, like a raging river rushing through his meridians.
It felt its body undergoing a dramatic transformation, as if every cell was being reshaped.
At the same time, for a fleeting moment, it felt something about to burst out of its body. The feeling was intense yet unfamiliar. It tried to suppress it forcefully, but found itself powerless to stop it.
Just as the other soul beasts attacked, a dragon head filled with flames suddenly grew out from the side of its original head.
The dragon head was incredibly lifelike, with eyes like burning flames and spewing out scorching lava breath.
It was like an instinctive reaction; it unleashed a volcanic breath at every soul beast that came forward.
The lava breath was extremely hot, and almost all the soul beasts running at the front were instantly burned to ashes before they could dodge.
Before the dragon lizard could recover from this sudden change, another wind-attribute head grew out in the next second.
The wind-attribute head exuded a chilling aura, as if the surrounding air had been frozen.
At first, the dragon lizard couldn't understand why a head would suddenly grow out; it was completely beyond its comprehension.
But one thing it understood was that once these heads grew out, they were like ignorant infants; although they could understand words, they had no clear thoughts.
This sudden change made it burst into tears of joy, for it discovered that it had finally awakened its elemental abilities.
This man, once abandoned by his tribe and endlessly lonely, finally saw a turning point in his fate.
It was overjoyed to return to its original tribe and show its people its power.
However, when it arrived at its original tribal habitat with great excitement, it was surprised to find that the place had been turned into a mess.
It saw a very small creature in this world called a human.
These humans may appear small and weak, but they possess unimaginable destructive power.
For some unknown reason, this group of humans hunted down and killed all of their own kind.
The once bustling tribal habitat is now a desolate wasteland, littered with the corpses of its inhabitants and dried blood.
Seeing this scene, it felt as if its heart had been pierced by a cold sword.
It became exceptionally angry, an anger like a burning flame that raged in its heart and could not be extinguished.
It ran directly to the vicinity of the nearest town, where its three enormous heads moved independently, their gaping maws devouring one human after another.
Even if there were transformed soul beasts among those humans, it had no intention of letting them go. Its eyes were filled with hatred, and it wanted the humans to pay for the lives of its people.
