Lin Shen shot off in a speed that eyes wouldn't see. Stopping somewhere, he made a time dilatation field at where he was. No one was around him. Seeing that, he nodded satisfied and began to sit crosslegged.
He entered his mind and began to finally finish condensing his divine bone.
A day later, his body began to shine gold slightly.
A month...
A year later, Lin Shen still rigidly remained the same as stone covered his crosslegged bottom with the gold shining brighter.
Five years later, his body fully became engulfed in stones that shined gold.
Ten years...
Fifteen years...
During those years, Lin Shen never moved a single bit. Slowly, his body was covered by stone. He became a stone statue that shined gold slightly.
Another fifteen years passed and it had been 30 years in time dilation field.
Suddenly, a crack was seen on the shining gold stone statue. The crack quickly spread out and a burst caused the stones to fly out everywhere.
Lin Shen's body appeared and it shined gold too brightly that anyone would become blind if they looked at him directly. It slowly became big and bigger.
*ROAR*
The shape finally manifested fully and it showed the shape of a western dragon clad in gold shine. Its outlines looked very sharp, as if a sword.
Slowly, the gold shine receded to the center of the dragon's torso. It finally disappeared and revealed the dragon.
The huge western dragon was clad in sharp golden scales that looked difficult to pierce through and break. Its huge and long wings was full of small, yet sharp golden feathers, looking similar to angel's wings but golden and sharp. Every time the golden and sharp wings moved, it would twinkle slightly.
The golden dragon had four white horns poking out of his forehead, curving mid-way to upwards and ended with sharp point. Carved on those four horns were many weird characters, shining gold. Its whole body stood on four legs that showed power, looking capable of piercing huge and deep holes in Earth. Every movement of the golden dragon was graceful and its golden eyes looked like it was filled with arrogance.
Lin Shen admired himself. This was his Divine Dragon form... His master, the superior being, had imparted a manual on Divine Dragon when Shen told the superior being of his Mouth Acupoint active skill, Divine Dragon's Roar.
Apparently it was not due to his master that he received skills of each acupoints, it was all by him. Lin Shen was ecstatic when he found out he could become a Divine Dragon, which was said to be eradicated from every universes out there.
For some reason, a group of superior beings had hunted down every Divine Dragons in fear of its destructive abilities and worry for their families...
During his time becoming the Divine Dragon, he received a bundle of memories... It showed the full story of the reason why the race was eradicated as well as explanations of Divine Dragons' origins. After processing through them... Lin Shen was astounded and in shame. He was in shame because the group of superior beings that eradicated them without verifying the truth were composed of humans...
Lin Shen also received benefits of becoming a Divine Dragon, though not a real one. His immortal body changed completely to a Divine Body, All-Attributes Draconic Body. Due to the Divine Dragons race being of divine beings' descendants, they would receive a type of Divine Body and other things.
All-Attributes Draconic Body in particular, was surprisingly the rarest and considered to be strongest in top 5 Divine Bodies in every universes. Only few superior beings had a divine body from top 5 Divine Bodies, but none of them had All-Attributes Draconic Body which was considered a legend since it never appeared for innumerable years.
Lin Shen closed his golden eyes and slowly turned back to human, gold shine appearing from the center of his torso and engulfing him completely as he became smaller. Finally back to human, the gold shine receded and returned to the center of his chest, disappearing.
Changes were evident to his human body. His pitch black hair was now slightly tinted with real gold color and his eyes had small gold color. His body was more defined and emitted strong power as well as oppressive pressure on those who dared to have evil intentions towards him.
He was naked too, for the world to leer on. Lin Shen rolled his eyes when chilly wind hit his little brother. Waving his hands, a set of clothes appeared before him to wear.
He checked himself and was astonished to find a Gold Core inside him as well as Spirit Qi... Lin Shen had broken through to Fifth Stage: Spirit Sovereign without Fourth Promotes Fifth Tribulation...?
Also, his Gold Core had no dragon marks, indicating a Super Ultra High grade Gold Core! This meant he basically skipped two minor realms, Purple Gold Core minor realm and Glazed Gold Core minor realm. This also means if Lin Shen wanted to, he could advance to Sixth Stage: True Monarch at the age of 15 years old!
His gold core was spurting a weird kind of liquid that radiated heavy holy and draconic aura. Lin Shen decided to call it Divine Draconic Spirit Lake, when it fully became a spirit lake at Sixth Stage: True Monarch.
Shaking his head, Lin Shen decided to advance to Sixth Stage at further time. After all, there was that Fifth Promotes Sixth Heavenly Tribulation as well as his cultivator friends... He sighed and shot off to his high school which was on the other side of Earth.
What he didn't know was when he became a Divine Dragon, countless strong cultivators at or above Seventh Stage trembled before it.
Their nascent soul had suddenly opened its eyes and muttered something. Sadly for the cultivators, they couldn't understand what their nascent soul muttered before closing its eyes.
...
Arriving before his high school, Lin Shen shook off the weird feeling he had been feeling ever since he approached China. It was as if... his Divine Dragon side was trying to take over. Lin Shen could only repress it by force, and deal with it later since he had classes to attend.
Glancing around, he sensed no one near his classroom's entrance, so he directly teleported there and entered the class normally.
If only he wasn't peerlessly handsome and looking cool.
"Woah!", "...Wow! I want to become his girlfriend!", "Oh man, a cool dude!", "Aiya! Another handsome man for me to envy...", "Sigh, there's that handsome blond guy and now there's this amazing dude.", "I wonder if he's single..."
Lin Shen paused and looked around, finding Jack, Yu Yan, and Ying Yue. He smiled and approached them at the corner. Unsurprisingly, they weren't surrounded by other classmates because they either radiated a aura that they felt like they shouldn't go near or shoo'ed them away. "Hey, I'm back."
"...😲" Jack stared at his slightly gold-tinted hair and eyes, he also felt a oppressing pressure from his sworn brother... 'What the f*ck happened in mere 30 minutes?!'
"...😳?" Yu Yan absentmindedly exclaimed. 'D-did Shen change?'
"...😍!" Ying Yue was the first to snap out of it and immediately hugged Shen's left arm.
"Wow! You look more handsomer and um..." She blushed, trying to force the word out. "...More domineering-like...?"
"Oh, probably because I changed my race." Lin Shen said teasingly, but his eyes looked honest. His three friends didn't know whether he was serious or joking with that...
"Alright class! Take your seat!" A male teacher walked in, holding a clipboard.
The students moved around, going to their desk and sat.
• {Year : 16.6} •
"Aiii...." A middle-aged man sighed as he flew through the clouds, hidden from the mortals. He glanced around, searching for something, more specifically, a dog. "Doudou, why do you always run away...?"
Suddenly, he accidentally barged into a huge array that he never saw. "F*ck! Wh-"
He suddenly stiffened and went agape at what he saw in front of him, a dragon! The middle-aged man was at Sixth Stage: True Monarch, and yet, he couldn't help but feel afraid of the golden western dragon.
The Sixth Stage cultivator trembled and tried leaving when he found that he couldn't...
*ROAR!*
The golden dragon suddenly roared loudly. The middle-aged man wiped a huge amount of sweat from his forehead. 'Crap, did it find me?'
On cue, the golden dragon looked at the intruder's location. It began to take a step...
*Woosh*
It was already in front of the middle-aged man in a single step. He nearly had his heart coming out of his mouth but clammed up. 'I-I'm g-go-going to d-di-die h-he-here...'
As he was thinking that, he unconsciously brought out his phone and aimed it at the golden dragon. A flash came out of it as well as a sound.
*Click*
The middle-aged man just took a picture of the frightening golden dragon on his phone...
"..." The golden dragon was speechless at this. "😐"
"..." The middle-aged man realized what he did just now... "😭"
He began to cry heavily, trembling the hand that held his phone even harder. The middle-aged man had snot coming out of his nose, which would make a shocking image to his fellow friends in a certain chat group.
"S-senior! I beg you, please don't kill me!" The Sixth Stage: True Monarch cultivator beseeched the golden dragon who remained motionless, staring directly in his teary eyes. "I-I didn't see the array, so I accidentally went in during my search of a dog bastard!"
"🤔" The golden dragon brought its front right leg to its sharp chin, making a thinking pose as if deciding what to do with this little human.
"😨" The middle-aged man patiently waited as he trembled all over. He felt that this dragon could casually kill him... 'I-If I die here, it'll be full of regrets! I'll curse that Doudou dog for causing my death!'
The golden dragon finally spoke. "What's your Dao name?"
Out of its mouth came a human language, proficient Chinese language... The True Monarch was surprised at the dragon talking human language. 'It must be over Eighth Stage! This is one of the Seal Abilities of Eighth Stage, Translation!'
Had the golden dragon known what he thought, it would've been ashamed for him. It wasn't even Eighth Stage, let alone Sixth Stage... Yet, this True Monarch guy thought it was over Eighth Stage...
"Ah! My Dao name is Yellow Mountain! I'm at Sixth Stage: True Monarch, senior!" True Monarch Yellow Mountain exclaimed and bowed slightly as he introduced himself.
The golden dragon nodded slightly and said. "This can be considered fate, since the great warding array I set up was supposed to block out anyone even those of Eternal Life Beings."
"Seeing you're already here, you can stay and benefit from what I'm going to do next..." The golden dragon turned and introduced itself before returning to the center of the array. "...I'm Lin Shen, the last Divine Dragon."
"..." True Monarch Yellow Mountain could only just watch on, and protect himself should anything happen. 'But, what's a Divine Dragon? It sounds strong... and rare since he said last.'
The middle-aged man suddenly remembered the picture he took on his phone... he glanced at his phone and then at Lin Shen, as if trying to make a decision. True Monarch Yellow Mountain shook his head and bravely aimed his phone at the golden dragon, with a video recorder app prepared...
'I'm sure this senior doesn't mind!'
'Wow, that guy sure is brave.' Lin Shen inwardly smirked. He saw True Monarch Yellow Mountain aiming his phone at him, as if recording. 'Eh, doesn't matter.'
The Divine Dragon then began the Fifth Promotes Sixth Tribulation... Only to see the tribulation not coming at all...
"Eh?" He confusedly exclaimed out loud. "Why isn't the heavenly tribulation coming...?"
Suddenly, his body became to shake very quickly as if a literal vibrator. His Gold Core inside his origin dantian, immediately exploded out with a large amount of the holy draconic liquid it was producing, thereby making a huge spirit lake. Lin Shen felt like he would throw up the holy draconic liquid, but in the end he only threw up a refreshing air.
This refreshing air spread out inside the great warding array, even hitting True Monarch Yellow Mountain. The moment he accidentally inhaled a bit of it, the minor realm he had always been in immediately sped up slightly.
The nascent soul that was slowly being formed by his lotus flower in middle of his spirit lake suddenly sped up its process. Yellow Mountain was astonished and ecstatic as he placed his phone on a tripod he somehow made appear... then he sat crosslegged, carefully condensing his nascent soul. 'This must be the benefit that the senior said!'
The Divine Dragon knew of his actions but ignored it as his focus was on his rapidly enlarging spirit lake. It was so fast that he was sure he would definitely explode had he not obtained the All-Attributes Draconic Body!
"F*ck!" His dragon form suddenly spasmed, as he roared in pain. "ARRGGHHH!!!"
True Monarch Yellow Mountain shook and bolted up, shock filling his eyes when he saw the Divine Dragon. Blood spurted out of its golden scales, and those scales looked to be shedding. Its roar was of a painful one, he could not imagine how much pain the Divine Dragon must be in.
He hesitated on what to do now. Should he try help it or continue to condense his nascent soul...? As if understanding his dilemma, the golden dragon shook its head at him as if telling him it was okay.
True Monarch Yellow Mountain clenched his fists and nodded solemnly. He was not going to forget this! Resuming to crosslegged stance, he began to continue condensing his nascent soul.
'F*ck! F*ck!' Lin Shen cursed every generation of his ancestors as he suffered through the pain. Not even the first test of his master was this painful! 'Sure enough! I knew possessing a Divine Body wouldn't be without disadvantages!'
Slowly, time progressed within the great warding array. Lin Shen had already placed time dilation field in it, so a year inside would equal to a minute outside, 1yr. = 1min.. But True Monarch Yellow Mountain didn't know that, so he was entirely focusing on completely condensing his nascent soul and even added some other things to it. Yellow Mountain swore that he would go to the peak of Sixth Stage, in order to be able to repay the Divine Dragon.
His phone's video recorder was also still on as years passed by inside. It recorded everything, Yellow Mountain cultivating silently while the Divine Dragon screamed out loud in pain. If he was to send this to the chat group... he would definitely get brutally reproached by strong cultivators. Benefitting while the person who helped you is suffering? F*ck your nascent soul!
Years passed by...
...
50 years passed, meaning 50 minutes passed by outside. What was surprising was that Yellow Mountain's phone still looked new when it was supposed to look aged. Apparently he modified it as well as the video recorder application, still recording everything on the tripod.
The Divine Dragon finally stopped roaring in pain, since it had became used to the pain. True Monarch Yellow Mountain still was crosslegged and cultivated, closed eyes.
...
Another 50 years passed by, totaling to 100 minutes outside. Lin Shen's dragon form finally stopped vibrating as he heavily collapsed on ground, creating a deafening sound and a huge dent. At that same time, Yellow Mountain opened his eyes and saw it, he decided to stop cultivating for now.
The middle-aged man stood up and slowly approached the Divine Dragon. Clasping his hands, he asked. "Senior, are you alright now?"
"..." F*ck your 'senior r u alrite now? 😥'! Lin Shen really wanted to kill this bastard but rolled his golden eyes instead. "...Yes."
