489: Blackrock Mountains, the Black Dragon King’s plan!

"I'm going to the Black Stone Mountains."

Fang Ran immediately made a decision.

The few of them exchanged glances but didn't try to stop him.

If even Fang Ran couldn't solve it, then no one else probably could!

"Let's go."

Xiao Tian held Fang Ran's hand.

The two of them, enveloped in a burst of light, vanished towards the horizon at an incredibly fast speed!

To the people below, it was like a shooting star flying by, disappearing from their sight in the blink of an eye!

This speed was ridiculously fast.

It was even faster than the fastest fierce beasts they had ever seen!

Fang Ran, caught within it, could only see the rapidly flashing light beside him, and in the blink of an eye, they arrived above the dark mountain range.

"Black Stone Mountains... This is the depths of Black Stone Mountain!"

Fang Ran looked towards the depths of the mountain range.

"Roar!"

As if sensing someone's arrival,

A massive Black Dragon King, large enough to blot out the sky, emerged!

His scales were thick and heavy, and his outstretched wings could almost cover the entire mountain range!

He hovered high in the sky, his eyes, golden and molten like lava, fixed on Fang Ran and Xiao Tian.

"Black Dragon King?"

Fang Ran murmured to himself.

Xiao Tian, beside him, showed no fear, meeting his gaze coldly.

Unexpectedly, the Black Dragon King's gaze fell on Fang Ran.

"My son, you've come?"

His voice was like a grand bell, filled with majesty.

Just as he spoke, swarms of flying dragons flew out from between the mountains!

Their levels had all reached Transcendent and King-level, so vast and numerous, an ordinary Beast Tamer would have been terrified to their core.

"My son? Who's your son?" Fang Ran almost laughed in exasperation.

"You, you have my aura on you, my spiritual power."

His voice, like a grand bell, addressed Fang Ran.

Fang Ran was stunned for a moment, then remembered something.

He did possess the Black Dragon King's spiritual power, so the other party considered him a kindred spirit, or even his own descendant?

"I am not your descendant, I came to find Long Yu."

Fang Ran frowned slightly.

The Black Dragon King watched him for a moment, then let out a roar!

The terrifying roar transformed into a wave of air, surging outwards, causing all the flying dragons to prostrate themselves on the ground, bowing their heads towards Fang Ran's direction.

"As you wish, from now on you shall be the Lord of Black Stone Mountain."

Facing the Black Dragon King's eagerness,

Fang Ran's mouth twitched. He couldn't be bothered to respond to him, and instead asked with some curiosity, "I heard you possess elemental power? Why haven't you left this place for so long?"

"There is the heritage of a Divine Beast here. I obtained his heritage and transformed into a dragon."

He spoke without any reservation.

As expected.

Just as Fang Ran had guessed.

These powerful beings all occupied the heritage of Divine Beasts.

"Perhaps the Elf Race is the same... they all possess the heritage of Divine Beasts, but very few are able to accept it."

The Black Dragon King had also lived for countless years to possess a part of its power.

Perhaps he saw that Xiao Tian was similar to him and didn't want to fight, so he found an excuse?

But to Fang Ran, none of that mattered.

He wasn't afraid if it came to a fight.

"You are the Lord of Black Stone Mountain, so the Dragon-Human Race leader shall be given to you as a slave." The Black Dragon King flapped his wings, then landed back in the mountain range and went straight to sleep.

Looking at his lazy demeanor, Fang Ran was speechless.

Eating, sleeping, and reproducing—he lived a pretty carefree life.

A moment later,

Fang Ran was led to a cage.

Inside the cage, Long Yu was imprisoned, her wrists bound by a pair of stone shackles, from which a gray elemental aura swirled.

"Earth elemental power? Or some other elemental power."

As Fang Ran pondered, the accompanying dragon had already stepped forward and opened the cell door.

"Come out, the Black Dragon King has granted you eternal servitude to this person."

"You do—"

Long Yu's word was cut short as she saw Fang Ran's figure, her expression freezing.

He waved his hand, and the accompanying dragon bowed its head, quickly retreating to the side, seemingly afraid of displeasing Fang Ran.

They didn't completely regard him as their master solely because of the Black Dragon King's words, but also because his spiritual power was similar to the Black Dragon King's!

As for why the Black Dragon King did this... that remained unknown.

Perhaps he truly thought that way.

Perhaps it was just an excuse to reconcile.

"How about it? The Black Dragon King gave you to me."

Fang Ran smiled slightly, casually unlocking the chains.

Long Yu moved her wrists; these minor injuries were nothing to her.

"Indeed, just as he said, you came, and he went to save you."

Hearing Long Yu's words, Fang Ran instantly understood.

It seemed the Black Dragon King knew what was happening in the outside world.

"What about those Divine Race members? How did you escape?" Long Yu asked.

"Xiao Tian."

Fang Ran looked at Xiao Tian.

Long Yu turned her head, gazing at her, as if sensing an aura no weaker than the Black Dragon King's.

"Amazing, what do you plan to do next?"

"What to do? Wait until I've evolved enough, then open the cage..."

"No." A deep voice came from behind Fang Ran.

At some unknown point, the Black Dragon King had arrived behind them, his massive head, like a small mountain, drawing close to Fang Ran.

"Opening the cage and waiting for the elemental aura to surge in will take time. Those Heavenly Beasts are enough to kill us before we can evolve!"

His vertical pupils seemed to pierce through Fang Ran's thoughts.

"We must go to another world together."

"I, that fellow from the Elf Race, and your Beast Tamer—we will evolve in different places. As long as one person can evolve to Divine Beast-level, everyone can be saved."

The Black Dragon King seemed to have been waiting for this day for a long time.

His goal was to await the emergence of the next being capable of becoming a god.

Only then could the cage be safely broken and they could leave this place.

"That fellow from the Elf Race? Why didn't you two try earlier?" Fang Ran asked after understanding.

"Heh heh, that coward. I told her to come along early, but she wouldn't. If I went alone, wouldn't I just be delivering myself?"

The Black Dragon King snorted a puff of air, which Xiao Tian blocked.

Then he continued, "How about it? What do you think? If you open the cage, we'll all be finished."

"But that Elf Race, they have a way to send us to different places in that world."

"It's possible, but I need some time. My Beast Tamer still need a lot of resources to evolve and time to absorb them."

Fang Ran replied.

"Small problem. Both my Black Stone Mountains and the Elf Race have vast resources stored."

"They've been accumulated over hundreds or thousands of years. You can take them as you please. The only condition is that you help me after you ascend to godhood."

Fang Ran and the Black Dragon King made their agreement.

Then he went to the Black Dragon King's treasury.

He collected all the resources He had plundered, as well as the resources of the Black Stone Mountains, into his possession!
