Chương 336: Chapter 316: Your Excellency, it is I who have put you in check
Beneath a silver spear that stretched over a hundred meters, Su Cheng's young body, just over ten years old, appeared as insignificant as dust.
There was no comparison at all, whether in terms of size or aura.
Even the shockwaves from the energy alone seemed enough to crush him into powder.
Su Cheng looked up at the incoming attack from above and helplessly shook his head.
As expected, the moment they met, the other side immediately aimed to kill, without a hint of hesitation or intention to exchange words.
Truly arrogant...
He took a deep breath, his expression growing a bit more serious, though he wasn't overly tense.
This situation was, in fact, one of the most likely scenarios he had anticipated, and it was the most probable one.
After all, this place was the Dragon Clan's burial ground.
No matter who it was, seeing a stranger suddenly appear in their ancestral graveyard, the first reaction would inevitably be one of extreme fury.
Especially for a being like the Silver Dragon King, who was born extraordinary and stood at the pinnacle of all beings.
It was only natural that a misunderstanding would lead to immediate action.
Su Cheng focused on the enormous silver spear tip, calming his mind as he channeled the true power within his body. He bent his legs slightly, his right hand clenched into a fist.
In the next moment, a translucent sword shadow appeared around his fist, quickly enveloping his entire body. He then swiftly raised his arm, swinging it upward.
Su Cheng did not use the Eternal Sword.
At present, this Spirit held more significance to him due to its unique seventh spirit ring and the origin power it carried within.
While it did enhance his combat strength, the increase wasn't substantial.
In fact, until now, Su Cheng hadn't even activated his Spirit.
Given his current situation, he could progress to the god level without relying on the Spirit Master system.
At least from the perspective of energy accumulation alone, he faced no bottlenecks.
Compared to the enhancement that the Eternal Sword provided to his combat strength, concealing his Spirit bloodline was far more important at this stage.
Boom—
A deafening explosion erupted as two extreme forces clashed, causing the ground to crack in layers. At the center, a massive crater with a diameter of dozens of meters formed, and dust filled the air, obscuring the faint silhouette within.
This strike had pushed both sides to their current limits, leaving no room to fully control the energy ripples.
The lingering energy waves continued to ripple throughout the valley.
Even the countless dragon bones, seemingly standing for eternity, seemed to tremble slightly from the impact of their clash.
"Hmm?"
At this moment, just as the Silver Dragon King had spread her wings and was preparing to leave, her gaze suddenly focused on the area below, where dust filled the deep valley.
There, the aura of that human youth had suddenly weakened, but it quickly gathered again.
Although it was not as strong as before, it was evident that he had not suffered severe injuries.
"... Cough, impressive strength. Are you one of this world's strongest? Or is there someone stronger than you?"
As the dust dispersed, Su Cheng's figure reappeared.
His pale face looked a bit disheveled, but his eyes remained as bright as ever.
Clearly, her attack had not achieved the expected outcome.
High on the cliff, the Silver Dragon King's heart stirred upon hearing this. She found the young man's words somewhat strange.
However, his attitude made her extremely displeased.
His words seemed to suggest that she was "not that impressive."
Immediately, she moved her massive body slightly, opened her dragon mouth, and decided to launch a more powerful attack to teach him a lesson.
"Don't be in such a hurry."
At that moment, she suddenly heard the human below speak again, his words tinged with a strange tone.
"I notice that the shapes of these bones here are quite similar to yours. These must be the remains of your kin, right?"
"..."
Upon hearing this, the Silver Dragon King's eyes flashed with cold light, but she did not respond. Instead, a powerful energy began to gather in her mouth, pulling in a great amount of elemental energy from the surroundings.
Su Cheng noticed the energy fluctuations but didn't care.
He grinned, raised his right hand, and pointed at the nearest water-element dragon skeleton.
However, as an unknown energy beam flashed by, nothing happened.
The dragon bones remained exactly as they were before, completely unharmed.
The Silver Dragon King tilted her head in confusion, not understanding what he was doing.
But the next moment, her huge vertical pupils suddenly contracted into slits as she looked at the dragon bones that Su Cheng had pointed at.
The dragon bones were crouched on the ground, in a posture that suggested vigilance, with its raised head still carrying a hint of battle intent and grandeur. It was over a hundred meters long, indicating it had been powerful during its life.
However, in the Dragon Clan's prime era, this level of power was considered nothing extraordinary.
After Su Cheng pointed at it, the dragon bones retained their original posture. There was no change in appearance, movement, or even the color of the bones.
But that aura...
"Do you feel it? The strength of this world? That force within the bloodline of your kin."
Su Cheng's voice was a mixture of admiration and mockery. "What a peculiar creature you are, born with such a potent radiation capability. What a terrifying constitution to carry such an immense amount of radioactive elements from birth. It's hard to believe this could be a living being..."
"…"
The Silver Dragon King remained silent.
She did not understand terms like "radiation" or "radioactive elements."
However, as the Dragon Clan's queen, she could clearly sense the strange fluctuations emanating from those bones.
For any true dragon, similar fluctuations existed in both life and death—this she knew well.
On the Douluo Star, where she was currently hiding, the unique soul beasts of varying strengths, and even the different human Spirits, all originated from the long-term subtle influence of the Dragon Clan's bloodline.
Yet, the strange waves now emanating from this water dragon's remains had suddenly intensified dozens of times and were still growing.
Without exaggeration, if any ordinary beast with a resilient enough body were brought in at this moment, and if it survived the impact, it would immediately transform into a soul beast with an extremely potent bloodline!
If a stronger soul beast were brought in, its bloodline might even become as powerful as that of a dragon!
Noticing the shock in the Silver Dragon King's silver eyes, Su Cheng smirked and continued, "Quite a number of bones are buried in this valley. It seems there was a great battle here long ago, causing considerable damage to your clan. Also, I see some old injuries on your body that have yet to heal. I suppose that outside the spatial rift behind you, in the world where you usually reside, there are also formidable enemies, right?"
"..."
"Why don't you take a guess—what might happen if I were to activate all the dragon bones in this little world? What would that mean for the world where you now dwell?"
"..."
The Silver Dragon King remained silent.
Her huge dragon claws gripped the edge of the cliff uneasily, her dragon eyes flashing with various emotions—murderous intent, fear, worry.
She wasn't stupid.
It was just a dragon's corpse, yet under the strange manipulation of the other party, it had already generated such a powerful influence.
If this continued, let alone the entire valley filled with dragon corpses—even if only dozens or hundreds of them were activated, and the energy waves were allowed to leak out—it would be enough to dragonize all the living beings on the entire Douluo Star effortlessly!
Not only that.
During this process, those ordinary humans or other creatures who could not withstand the mutation of their bloodlines would die instantly.
Even with the most optimistic estimate, less than one-tenth of the creatures could survive under the influence of the dragon's power.
She did not care about the life or death of other races.
But the problem was, such a large commotion would definitely not escape the attention of the gods in the Divine Realm.
At that point, the day of extinction for the dragons and soul beasts would surely follow.
"...How did you do it?"
After a long while, the Silver Dragon King finally spoke again.
This time, her voice was no longer as calm as before.
Or rather, now her voice was more of a pretense of composure, but in reality, she was a little flustered.
She couldn't understand it at all.
As a clone of the Dragon God, even she couldn't think of, much less accomplish, such a feat.
But this seemingly insignificant human boy before her was actually able to completely evoke the latent dragon might from the remnants of the dragon bones?!
"Even if I told you, you wouldn't understand," Su Cheng replied, looking up and down at her.
To be honest, when the Silver Dragon King stopped pretending to be deep, her voice was quite pleasant.
"Quantum mechanics—do you understand?"
"..."
The Silver Dragon King's dragon claw tightened, and the rock beneath her feet was instantly crushed to powder.
She had reason to suspect that the other party was just making up a term to deceive her, but she still reflexively asked, "What mechanics?"
"Quantum mechanics. Your race's physical composition contains a large number of radioactive elements. The atomic nuclei of these elements are very unstable, and therefore they undergo a process of decay. When this process occurs, it releases a strong radiation to the outside world, and the emitted particle radiation can have a huge impact on other organisms. Generally speaking, the process of decay is extremely difficult to interfere with from the outside, but I found a way to make these atomic nuclei absorb a large amount of radiation in a short time, increasing their instability. From a probabilistic standpoint, this naturally increases the number of radioactive nuclei that decay within each dragon bone in a short period. While I can't affect the half-life of individual atoms, the overall radioactivity of an entire dragon bone can be hundreds of times higher than before in a short period."
"..."
After hearing Su Cheng's explanation, the Silver Dragon King's expression became somewhat unnatural.
She couldn't understand a word of what he was saying.
"...Human, it seems I have underestimated you. You certainly have some skills."
The Silver Dragon King stared at Su Cheng, her aura heavy like a mountain, but she refrained from acting rashly, constantly thinking of ways to handle the situation.
The current situation was very disadvantageous to her.
Relying on brute force was clearly the worst possible tactic.
If possible, she certainly wanted to subdue him completely and then probe his memories; that way, she could easily figure everything out.
However, this human was very strong.
Their brief exchange earlier had already proven that she didn't have the ability to kill him with a single strike.
Continuing the battle and trying to defeat him would be easy, but actually getting rid of him would be hard. If she failed, the situation could spiral even further out of control.
As for capturing him alive, that would be even harder than killing him.
And attempting to probe the memories of such a powerful individual with her not-yet-fully-recovered divine sense would be nearly impossible.
Unknowingly, she had become the relatively passive side.
This was a situation she hadn't anticipated at all before this encounter.
What troubled and confused her the most was still this person's strange methods.
It was precisely because of the opponent's unique abilities that she found herself in this dilemma.
The dragon valley beneath her feet was, after all, the burial ground for the dragons after their demise, and it held immense significance for her.
But if the situation required it, abandoning or destroying this place for the greater good was not out of the question.
She was never a stubborn person.
The continuation of her race and her responsibilities left no room for her to act on whims.
But the problem was that she couldn't understand the principles behind the opponent's operation at all.
Moreover, based on his explanation, it seemed that whether he could further activate the latent power of the dragon bones had little to do with the integrity of the bones themselves.
The Silver Dragon King was well aware of this.
The dragons' powerful influence over all living things was an innate talent, a marvelous manifestation of their extraordinary bloodline.
Any real dragon, whether alive or dead, would always have some degree of influence on the creatures nearby.
Thus, trying to block the human's threat by destroying the dragon bones first was completely out of the question.
He had completely blocked all her escape routes.
At this moment, the Silver Dragon King even secretly regretted that her actions this time had been a bit too reckless.
Her earlier rash attack had pushed the situation to a more unfavorable state.
But who could have anticipated that this human would step so precisely on her deadliest weakness?
"...Human, I can let you leave here. But you must promise not to take any action against the remains of my people."
After a long standoff, the Silver Dragon King finally broke the stalemate first.
She spoke with a calm and indifferent tone, as if she had made a huge concession.
"No, no, no, you've misunderstood something." Su Cheng shook his head with a smile and said, "I don't need you to let me go. If I wanted to leave, you wouldn't be able to stop me with your power. The space rift you tore open has already given me a guide."
He gazed into her unique and stunning purple dragon eyes, and the smile on his face slowly faded, his expression becoming serious and stern.
"Your Excellency, it is I who have put you in check."
