Chapter 1788: Chapter 1788

Du You thought for a moment, it seemed to be the case. "No wonder I’ve never heard of such a six-tier armor that can withstand a seventh-tier attack. In such a long time, things here should have appeared in the outside world. So that’s why."

Du You also realized that perhaps the crafting of the God-slaying Weapon was not as he thought. Perhaps it was a huge waste of materials, or maybe these defensive materials were needed for something.

Plus, not many of these materials have appeared, so there are only God-slaying Weapons and no defensive equipment.

After all, they aim to improve themselves, and most importantly, hunt down seventh-tier native Divine Spirits. So strengthening attack is more useful than anything else. Better to kill the target in one go rather than blocking a couple of hits.

In Du You’s view, if it weren’t such a waste of materials, armor would have likely appeared long ago. It might have appeared, but he just didn’t know, which isn’t a strange thing.

Flying all the way, Du You saw those seventh-tier beings and eliminated them all, then collected them as materials.

"How’s the training of our seventh-tier Life Professionals going?" Du You asked the two sisters.

Lin Yucha helplessly shrugged: "We have already trained over a thousand Life Professionals, and each one has consumed a lot of manpower and resources. We’ve now raised more than two hundred to the sixth-tier, yet fewer than twenty have a chance of reaching the seventh-tier. Of those fewer than twenty, it’s still uncertain if any will succeed in the future."

Du You also sighed. Cultivating seventh-tier Professionals was already troublesome; Life Professions were even more so. Because it not only requires resources, but also depends on their own comprehension and talent.

Unlike ordinary Professionals, one cannot simply amass resources to create a seventh-tier Life Professional.

"Never mind, as long as one succeeds, our efforts won’t be in vain."

That’s an understatement, it would be incredibly profitable. Such seventh-tier Life Professionals are rare even among large forces. Having one could make a large force stand out.

And there are only two eighth-tier Life Professionals across the entire Earth. Googlᴇ search 𝙣𝙤𝙫𝙚𝙡~𝔣𝔦𝔯𝔢~𝙣𝙚𝙩

"Master, ahead is the center of the Grand Canyon, where the Law forces are densest."

Du You nodded, then solemnly looked ahead: "I really didn’t expect an eighth-tier Alien beast to actually exist on Earth."

The two sisters almost simultaneously felt the presence of an eighth-tier power ahead. But that chaotic aura was clearly not a Professional, nor a creature from another world, but an Alien beast.

When Du You arrived, that Alien beast also opened its eyes.

"Indeed, the ancient saying was true." Du You could not help but say while looking at what lay before him.

There was nothing else; the thing before them was a dragon—a true dragon, not just a giant dragon but a divine dragon.

Its long body was coiled, estimated to be about three to five hundred meters long. It had four clawed feet, each with five toes, and two antler-like horns with five points on its head.

Upon opening its eyes, a special aura spread out. It was somewhat similar to Dragon Might, but different from the Dragon Might of giant dragons.

Cloud-like mist swirled around it, interspersed with wind and thunder. If it weren’t for that chaotic aura, Du You would truly have thought it was a real divine dragon.

Moreover, the dragon’s gaze was not the disordered one of other Alien beasts, but clear and intelligent, filled with wisdom.

"Hello, is this your territory? We need to use it for a bit," Du You said to the dragon.

But the creature didn’t appreciate it at all, roaring angrily and eyeing Du You warily. To have made its way here alone, and being a human—this was surely not a weakling. The divine dragon did recognize humans.

Du You frowned, realizing communication was impossible. "I thought it was an intelligent creature, but it turns out it can’t even speak," he muttered, pondering his strategy.

The dragon evidently understood Du You’s words, as a flash of anger crossed its eyes, and it opened its mouth to unleash a bolt of Thunder at Du You.

The Thunder struck quickly, hitting Du You directly, but it was blocked by the Yuan Power Shield. The powerful Thunder made the Yuan Power Shield flicker, indicating the attack was truly formidable.

"Mid-eighth tier, quite impressive power," Du You’s eyes narrowed slightly.

No matter what it was, if it dared to attack him, it was an enemy. The two sisters’ expressions changed simultaneously; if it was an enemy, they wouldn’t care if it was a rare creature.

Dragons were an ancient Totem for the people of the Asia Alliance, but with the world’s development, they were not unseen.

Since it had chosen to become an enemy, there would be no mercy. Just as the two sisters were about to act, Du You suddenly said, "Wait, catch it alive; this thing is different from other Alien beasts."

Du You’s words made the sisters restrain their killing moves. But upon hearing this, the dragon became even more enraged.

Then, the dragon charged directly at them, its movement stirring water vapor, allowing Du You to see the dragon’s full appearance. Its scales were dark green but previously motionless looked entirely black.

While its Laws were still rather chaotic, there was a semblance of order, mainly a power formed by combining water attribute and Thunder Attribute Laws. This power was diverse and highly offensive.

Thunder Light Balls formed in the air, attacking from all directions. However, Du You did not back down, immediately releasing Shadow Spirit Light Balls, with both sides continuously colliding and neutralizing each other in the air.

Du You’s strength surpassed that of this Black Dragon by far, perfectly blocking all its attacks.

Were it not for this being its lair, the Black Dragon would have thought of fleeing. But now it had no way to escape, with no retreat. If it left this place, it would have no home.

The Black Dragon knew how dangerous it was outside; if it appeared there, it would surely be skinned and boned.

A predecessor who once left here had told it about the outside world, and the Black Dragon had used its special abilities to explore beyond, which was why it was so wary. Now facing such a powerful human, its fear of humans intensified.

Such fear manifested in Du You’s presence as intense anger and terrifying aggressiveness through its attacks. As the battle continued, the Black Dragon’s eyes grew increasingly red, gradually losing its sanity.

"It seems this creature isn’t unaffected by this place; it can only resist," Du You observed.
