Chapter 221: Redfire Falls, Arriving at Dragonstar

Ling Jiu could not tell how big the mouth was, but from where he stood, he could see that it occupied a small part of the planet’s surface.

Redfire’s 800-meter-long body was like a lone island out at sea when compared to it, as both sides were of different magnitudes.

“Roar!!!”

The massive mouth soared into the sky and attempted to bite Redfire. At that moment, Redfire’s head had already entered the wormhole.

If it had a little more time, its entire body could have entered the wormhole and left this damned place forever.

But sadly…

Krak!!

Following a terrifying crunch, the massive mouth snapped shut and bit into Redfire’s lower body, roughly equivalent to the location of a human’s belly button and lower waist.

Immediately after, the mouth suddenly tugged back, and Redfire was dragged out of the wormhole.

The next moment, countless tentacles rushed out from all directions and instantly wrapped around Redfire’s body. Then, they completely submerged it.

“Roar!!!”

Upon seeing the scene, the fire dragon whelps that had already arrived in outer space roared toward the sky. Their voices were pained and heartwrenching, as they were filled with great sorrow.

One of the 500-meter-long Redfire Dragons even prepared to return to the wormhole to rescue Redfire. However, it was stopped by the Dark Demonic Dragon.

“You cannot save her!”

“So we just watch while Mother gets killed like that?” the Redfire Dragon roared angrily.

“The monster below is just too strong, beyond the level of a stellar lifeform. We cannot even scratch it even if we join hands. Going back down there is suicide!”

The Dark Demonic Dragon roared, “Leave this forsaken place now!”

“But—”

“No buts!”

The Dark Demonic Dragon’s voice was cold. “If you want to die, no one will stop you! But I suggest you consider Redfire’s whelps for a bit.”

The fire dragon could not help but look at other fire dragon whelps. Those with a body length of 100 meters were fine, but the smaller ones were beginning to tremble.

Outer space was just too cold, and they could not withstand it anymore.

“Roar!!!”

The fire dragon let out a bitter roar and opened its mouth so that the fire dragon whelps could get into its body for protection.

It was Redfire’s first child and the strongest one among them. With Redfire dead, it was up to it to take on the responsibility to protect the fire dragon whelps.

“Let’s go.”

Ling Jiu sighed and took a deep look at the dark red planet. The giant mouth and numerous tentacles had retreated back to the depths of the planet. Aside from gullies and a trail of destruction, there was nothing left on the ground.

Redfire was no longer there!

However, everyone knew that it had been completely swallowed by the monster!

Later on, the human and dragons embarked on their long journey again.

It was a pity that the atmosphere had become even dourer. The Dark Demonic Dragon was an enigmatic one and would not take the initiative to speak.

The several other Redfire Dragons were much more cheerful but their mother’s death had hit them hard; they were all deep in sorrow now.

So, the entire journey was distressed

Once they were tired, they would stop and rest.

Once rested, they would continue on.

Time passed quickly, and soon, another three days had passed without them noticing it.

After the third day, Ling Jiu suddenly stopped.

“What’s wrong? The Dark Demonic Dragon wondered.

As they closed the distance, it could sense its homeworld more and more. It knew that it would be home soon.

Therefore, it could not wait to rush back immediately!

“I’m tired. Gonna take a break,” Ling Jiu said casually.

Then he closed his eyes as he sat cross-legged and began to recuperate.

“Didn’t you just rest earlier? the Dark Demonic Dragon murmured in doubt but did not ask too much.

Instead, it lay down and rested quietly in outer space.

Rest?

Ling Jiu had actually rested earlier, and he was not at a point where he needed to rest. He stopped because the Replication Arcana’s cooldown had passed.

In other words, he could replicate again.

Ling Jiu had not decided what to replicate this time. It was obvious that he did not have many choices in this place.

Ling Jiu first looked at the Dark Demonic Dragon.

Name: Schwarzkopf

Race: Dark Demonic Dragon

Arcana: Spiritual Communication (Awakened, Replicable), Super Physique (Awakened, Replicable), Mega Dragon Flame (Awakened, Replicable), Mega Tremor (Awakened, Replicable)

“No decent abilities…”

Ling Jiu was a little disappointed, and then looked at the Redfire Dragons, in the end, their abilities were the same as the Dark Demonic Dragon.

“Forget it!”

Ling Jiu eventually copied the Mega Tremor ability and chose to assimilate it on the spot.

“Aarghh!”

“What’s wrong?”

Seeing Ling Jiu suddenly screaming in pain, the Dark Demonic Dragon and few other Redfire Dragons were all startled. They began to surround him one after another.

“I…I’m fine.”

After ten minutes, the pain receded like a tide. Ling Jiu felt the ability he had just acquired, and his eyes shone slightly.

He had underestimated this ability.

Mega Tremor meant that he could cause tremors at will, and the frequency of the tremors could be controlled.

Once the frequency exceeded the limit of an object’s tolerance, it would cause terrible consequences like… disintegration!

Plus, there were many ways to control tremors. One of them was how the Redfire Dragons and the Dark Demonic Dragon used their roars to generate tremors to shatter the space.

At the same time, they could also use their fists to cause tremors…

All in all, there were many ways to create tremors.

“This ability is not bad. It’s not a waste!”

…

Interstellar travel was the most boring thing ever. At a glance, the starry sky was the same. Who actually dared to pat his chest and say that he could stare at the stars in the sky all day and night?

No one could!

It was too monotonous, too boring, too dull!

Fortunately, two days later, the group finally came to a brand new star system.

Dominating this star system was a yellow dwarf star the size of the sun. There were a total of six planets orbiting around it, including three rocky planets and three gas giants.

“See that green planet over there?”

The Dark Demonic Dragon stared at the emerald green planet that was the third closest to the yellow dwarf and roared.

“That… That’s our homeworld! Hahaha! I’m home! I’m finally home! I never thought that I would be able to return in my lifetime!”

“Mother! Do you see it? We have arrived at Dragonstar!”

The other Redfire Dragons were also very excited. It was their mother’s greatest wish to return to Dragonstar while she lived, but what a pity…

“Quick! Let’s head back!” the Dark Demonic Dragon urged.

Ling Jiu finally breathed a sigh of relief, and with a wave of his hand, another wormhole appeared. This time directly came inside the atmosphere of Dragonstar.

Looking at the verdant green planet before them, the Dark Demonic Dragon was so excited that it could not help but take deep breaths.

With a face full of intoxication, it said, “This is the smell!

“This is the smell!”

“I would never forget it in my entire life!

“Is this Dragonstar?”

Ling Jiu also looked at the planet. It was very similar to Earth, except it was far bigger.

At a glance, this planet was almost completely enveloped by oceans, but it was dotted with many islands.

“Human, thank you!”

After the momentary excitement, the Dark Demonic Dragon gradually calmed down. Meanwhile, it stared at Ling Jiu sincerely with its big eyes.

“If it weren’t for you, I would never be able to return to my homeworld! I have no other valuable things to repay your kindness, and I can only give you this!”

As it said that, it opened its mouth and spat out a blood-colored orb before it continued, “This is a dragon blood orb condensed from one-tenth of my blood and essence. You can use it to temper your body. I want to be of help to you.”

“Then I shall take it.”

Ling Jiu avoided the pleasantries. “Since you’re home, I’ll go home now.”

“Human, don’t you want to take a stroll on Dragonstar?” the Dark Demonic Dragon immediately asked.

“I’ve been out for too long. My family must be waiting anxiously for my return, so I must go back quickly.”

Ling Jiu declined. He had sensed hundreds of terrifying auras coming from Dragonstar, and a small part of them was even more terrifying than Schwarzkopf itself. God knew what would happen if he entered the place?

So, he would withdraw for now.

“Well, then.”

The Dark Demonic Dragon looked regretful.

…

Ling Jiu left after that.

He did not delay much. Traveling all the way from the infernal planet to Dragonstar took about 12 days, which meant that the return journey would also take him 12 days.

A whole 24 days in total!

Unfortunately for him, Wormhole 13 that connected the infernal planet to Mars was only open for a month. He did not have any time to waste and had to rush back without stopping.

Fortunately, rushing back alone was much faster as he did not need to care about those dragons keeping up with him. He could just move forward alone.

Ten days had passed without him noticing by the time Ling Jiu returned to the infernal planet.

He looked at the planet that was locked by the gravitational force of its star, with half of it always facing the star while the other half facing away. For a planet of two extremes, Ling Jiu had never felt so much affection for it.

“I’m finally back.”

Ling Jiu wiped the cold sweat off his head and then sensed the dimensional mark he had left before Wormhole 13 and quietly appeared before it.

Wormhole 13 was suspended quietly in the air, no different from the time he had arrived.

Ling Jiu quietly breathed a sigh of relief when he saw this. After he dived in and exited again, he was already at Mars.

Mars was still that Mars, but its temperature was significantly higher now, and standing on Mars was almost no different from Earth now.

Of course, there were other differences, but Ling Jiu could not be bothered about it, as he teleported back to Ares Plain and returned to the forest.

At this moment, a harmonious scene was playing before the forest as Bai Ya dug a hole and Wukong presses the small tree into it, while Bai Ya filled it up with soil…

“This kid is so obedient?”

Ling Jiu was greatly surprised. Aside from sleeping and eating, Wukong was, at most times, a naughty rascal.

He jumped up and down, smashed pots, and played with pans… He was totally uncontrollable, so why had he suddenly changed?

Ling Jiu was puzzled, but he still smiled and said, “I’m home.”

Bai Ya’s delicate body shook slightly as the shovel slipped from her hand. Then she slowly turned around and saw that familiar handsome face.

Bai Ya’s eyes turned red and tears flowed out as she rushed at Ling Jiu.

Seeing this, Ling Jiu opened his arms wide.

Sadly for him, instead of hugging his love, he ended up hugging a wild monkey.

Ling Jiu was stunned as he saw Wukong looking at him excitedly. “Daddy, you’re back! Great! Wukong is so happy…”

He then looked at Bai Ya again, who was standing with an awkward expression not too far away…
