Chapter 2178 - 2004: Dragon Soul Grass! (Fourth Update)

Although Ye Chen spoke as if it were nothing, the Corpse-devouring Worm Emperor had once cultivated with Ye Chen for a period of time, so of course he knew this brat had probably gone through a lot, weathered countless brushes with life and death, and now finally achieved the Chaos Sacred Body.

He wasn’t clear just how powerful it was, but anything related to Chaos was most likely above the old Combat Saint Body.

Still, he also knew Ye Chen had only succeeded after countless trials of life and death, so there was nothing to be jealous about—if anything, it left him a bit wistful.

The Corpse-devouring Worm Emperor just cursed under his breath: "Hey, Little Moon, you brat definitely recognized who I was a long time ago, and you still went that hard on me. How could you bear to?"

"I could!"

Ye Chen replied solemnly.

"Fuck!" The Corpse-devouring Worm Emperor immediately raised a middle finger at Ye Chen for him to savor on his own.

Old friends meeting again were naturally overjoyed; Ye Chen introduced the two sides to each other.

"Rascal Dragon, this is my friend Aben."

"Aben, this is the Corpse-devouring Worm Emperor. You can relax, this guy’s got the same pervy temperament as Will, but he’s barely trustworthy."

"What do you mean barely trustworthy, fuck!" The Corpse-devouring Worm Emperor was very displeased, then his whole body shook, the dust all dispersing as he restored his spotlessly clean appearance. In human form he was quite handsome and dashing, carrying a particular demonic charm with a somewhat unique flavor. He took the initiative to step forward, graceful and elegant, saying, "Fairy, hello. It is my honor to have the luck to meet you. I wonder if there’s a chance we could have dinner together sometime, and by the way chat a bit about the grand ideals of a dragon’s life?"

Ye Chen was thoroughly familiar with how shameless and brazen the Corpse-devouring Worm Emperor was, and tossed a look over to let Aben experience it for herself.

Aben had met Will before, so she had some experience; she quietly edged backward and said softly, "Sorry, this little girl isn’t interested."

The Corpse-devouring Worm Emperor was slightly stunned, then said, "Fairy, I can tell you’re also of the Dragon Clan, with some Dragon Origin in your body. I happen to have a stalk of Dragon Soul Grass on me—if you’re willing to be with me and become my wife, I’d be willing to give you the Dragon Soul Grass and let you become a Pure Blood True Dragon."

But Aben still refused: "Sorry, if that’s the case, I’d rather not. I already have someone in my heart."

At these words, not only was the Corpse-devouring Worm Emperor surprised, even Ye Chen was a bit taken aback. Aben actually had someone she liked, and he hadn’t noticed at all.

Could it be Mo Haishen, or Luoo Guyun?

Thinking it over, those two seemed the most likely.

He’d have to ask properly later.

Of course, the fact that Aben could find someone she liked made Ye Chen very happy as well. After all, she had followed him for many years, loyally and wholeheartedly; if she could find happiness that belonged to her, he was genuinely glad for Aben.

The Corpse-devouring Worm Emperor shouted a loud "fuck": "So which damned pig got to root up such a beautiful flower?"

After that, Ye Chen looked at the Corpse-devouring Worm Emperor and said, "Rascal Dragon, you’ve got Dragon Soul Grass on you—can you give it to me? I’ll give you a treasure of equal value in return. You know Aben can evolve into a Pure Blood True Dragon—as long as she has Dragon Soul Grass, she’ll be able to completely guide her Dragon Origin and fully transform into a Pure Blood True Dragon."

"Little Moon, what kind of relationship do we have? It’s just a single stalk of Dragon Soul Grass. If you want to take it, then take it. It’s useless to me anyway." The Corpse-devouring Worm Emperor didn’t even bother with more words and directly drew out a crystalline little herb from his inner space. It had three leaves, each leaf shaped like a True Dragon, soaring with the breeze—that was Dragon Soul Grass, suffused with Dragon Power.

Dragon Soul Grass was extremely similar to Dragon Blood Grass, even identical at a glance, but Dragon Soul Grass wasn’t blood-colored; its whole body shone with a particular dark-gold hue.

As it swayed in the wind, there was vaguely a rising dragon’s roar, like a True Dragon’s long cry, its presence astonishing.

The instant Dragon Soul Grass appeared from the Corpse-devouring Worm Emperor’s hand, a dense Dragon Power completely spread out. At the same time, both Ye Chen and Aben clearly felt the portions of Dragon Soul they had refined into their bodies trembling, involuntarily releasing a powerful desire.

This intense desire was the wish to devour this stalk of Dragon Soul Grass, so that the partial Dragon Origin within them could fully awaken again.

As long as they obtained this Dragon Soul Grass, their Dragon Origin could truly be completed, and they could then nurture Dragon Blood, remodel their physical bodies, and become genuine Pure Blood True Dragons.

"So this is Dragon Soul Grass?"

Ye Chen was still okay; although he carried partial Dragon Origin, he ultimately possessed the far more powerful Chaos Sacred Body. The Chaos Origin suppressed that desire, calming it down, whereas Aben was clearly excited, her eyes fixed on the Dragon Soul Grass without blinking.

This was the partial Dragon Origin in her body enticing Aben into such agitation.

The Corpse-devouring Worm Emperor glanced at Ye Chen, then at Aben, and said meaningfully, "Little Moon, I didn’t expect your relationship with this fairy to be anything but ordinary. Your Dragon Origin is incomplete, while she carries a partial Dragon Origin as well. Most likely you gave yours to her, right?"

Ye Chen didn’t deny it, but changed the subject: "As long as we have this stalk of Dragon Soul Grass and use it as the main ingredient to refine a Dragon God Pill, we can guide the partial Dragon Origin in Aben’s body and have it transform into a Pure Blood True Dragon, right?"

The Corpse-devouring Worm Emperor nodded: "This is Dragon Soul Grass. Even Dragons with only thin True Dragon Bloodline have a great chance to transform into Pure Blood True Dragons with it. After all, the Dragon Soul within Dragon Soul Grass is the soul of a Pure Blood True Dragon—absolutely extraordinary. And whether it’s you, Little Moon, or Aben, both of you possess partial Dragon Origin, so you each have at least a fifty percent chance to fully complete the transformation."

Ye Chen said, "From what I know, Dragon Soul Grass only has a chance to be nurtured within the Dragon Tombs of Pure Blood True Dragons. But the Dragon Tombs of True Dragons have always been mysterious and are located in the True Dragon Ancestral Land. Don’t tell me you’ve been to the ancestral land, and that the ancestral land lies within the Primordial Immortal Realm?"

After all, back then the Corpse-devouring Worm Emperor had followed the Slaughter Immortal Ship into the Primordial Immortal Realm, so Ye Chen’s suspicion wasn’t baseless.

The Corpse-devouring Worm Emperor shook his head: "The Dragon Tombs of True Dragons are indeed in the ancestral land of Pure Blood True Dragons, but I’ve never stepped foot there. However, don’t forget—the Slaughter Immortal Ship initially carried the destroyed Eight Desolate Ancient Universe into the Primordial Immortal Realm. That Ancient Universe back then also had Pure Blood True Dragons. I just got lucky and obtained this stalk of Dragon Soul Grass from there."

Ye Chen remembered—the ruined Eight Desolate Ancient Universe had colossal Pure Blood True Dragon corpses lying across the boundless starry sky.

Those were Supreme Level True Dragons, and even in death they were buried in the Eight Desolate Ancient Universe, never returning to the True Dragon Ancestral Land, so naturally there was a chance for Dragon Soul Grass, this kind of innate miraculous treasure, to be nurtured there.

The Corpse-devouring Worm Emperor generously handed the Dragon Soul Grass to Ye Chen, because Dragon Soul Grass could give Dragon Clan beings a chance to transform into Pure Blood True Dragons, but for a Pure Blood True Dragon itself, it was of little use.

Ye Chen accepted it. This would be the main ingredient for refining the Dragon God Pill in the future, and he decided that once the auction was over, he would immediately begin refining it—no time to waste.

Because he wanted Aben to step into the Strongest Young Supreme Domain as soon as possible. After all, the Emperor’s Son Banquet would be held before long; if she didn’t reach that level, it would ultimately be somewhat dangerous.

PS: Decided to work hard again tomorrow, see if we can keep up four Chapters, ha!
