The Strongest Dragon in the Era of Beast Taming

Chapter 445: Chapter 439: Gate of Hell

Translator: 549690339

The twin-headed Cerberus emitted a faint, pitch-black glow as it slowly devoured the thick frost covering its body. However, the devouring process was slow.

For this reason, it spewed out a mouthful of ink-black explosive flames.

“Keep it under control.”

At David Jones’s command, Rainbow immediately activated the Size Adjustment.

The originally small figure rapidly expanded, its giant dragon claws flashing with cold light, tightly trapping the seemingly delicate Cerberus in its palm to prevent it from escaping.

Realizing that the twin-headed Cerberus couldn’t move, the Dragon-Wing Armor behind Gluttonous Beast immediately deformed and spread out, casting a huge shadow that partly covered the twin-headed Cerberus.

“Rumble!”

Following a massive rumbling sound, David Jones saw waves of dark light surging between Gluttonous Beast and the twin-headed Cerberus. The chilling frost of the Cerberus was shattered and fell off at this moment, due to the overwhelming energy fluctuations.

“Ao!!!”

The twin-headed Cerberus spat out dark flames, and in an instant, the ground beneath its feet transformed into a circular lava river of flowing magma.

Intense heat spread from inside its body, causing even Rainbow’s azure dragon scales to display a faint hint of fiery red light.

“Eek!” (▼-.▼/)

Feeling the terrifying temperature rapidly rising on its dragon claws, Rainbow snorted out a ball of cold air. Instead of letting go, it gripped the Cerberus even tighter, causing its face to show a painful expression.

At this point, the Gate of Hell slowly emerging over the lava river suddenly experienced intense spatial turbulence, as if it could appear in the world at any moment.

“Use Purgatory Aurora to attack its eyes and interrupt it. Be cautious about the force, don’t completely crush it.”

Looking at the eerie atmosphere emitting from the Gate of Hell, an ominous premonition suddenly emerged in David Jones’s mind.

Next second, almost at the moment when the Gate of Hell was about to descend, Daphne condensed her surging Arcane Force into a powerful penetrating flame aurora, shooting it out from her eyes.

“Sizzle!”

A laser streaked across, creating a hole in the Cerberus’s body. It let out a painful cry, and the already unstable Gate of Hell suddenly crumbled in the distance.

“Has it not been devoured successfully yet?”

Watching Gluttonous Beast’s wings pressing tightly against the Cerberus with an effortful expression, David Jones was somewhat speechless.

Normally, this greedy little guy devoured the Arcane Force of Battle Angels extremely quickly, but now it was taking so long. Could it be that Beasts manifested by the Beast Refining Tower couldn’t be devoured using a skill?

Just as David Jones was hesitating whether to completely eliminate the twin-headed Cerberus, blood-red light erupted from the three horns on Gluttonous Beast’s head. Terrifying devouring power instantly flashed through the desperate eyes of the Cerberus, which tried to detonate its Arcane Force from within.

However, at this time, Rainbow grabbed the twin-headed Cerberus’s neck with its dragon claws like it would with a small chick, using its unstoppable power to forcefully interrupt the detonation of the Cerberus’s Arcane Force.

“Roar!”

Gluttonous Beast suddenly roared excitedly.

Accompanied by a heart-wrenching howl.

In David Jones’s astonished gaze, a dazzling Progressive Light suddenly burst out from Gluttonous Beast’s body, rendering everything around it white.

“It can really devour the Arcane Force of a Beast manifested by the Beast Refining Tower!” David Jones revealed a look of surprise on his face.

He had merely thought about trying on a whim, but he didn’t expect Gluttonous Beast to actually succeed.

Soon, when the Progressive Light dissipated, the noticeably stronger Gluttonous Beast entered David Jones’s view.

Perhaps it was due to devouring the Arcane Force of Darkness, the impenetrable black crystal-like dragon scales on Gluttonous Beast’s body deepened, and its defense ability was once again enhanced. Even the blood-red gem at the top of the dragon’s head had a touch of deep and mysterious light.

“Grade”: Class III Lower-level

David Jones’ pupils slightly constricted as he looked at the information displayed by the Illusion-Piercing Eye.

During this time, Gluttonous Beast had absorbed the mechanical Arcane Force of the Level VI King, Battle Angel. In just one month, its strength had increased by two lower-level ranks.

And now, with Infinite Evolution, it devoured an upper-level Class IV Twin-headed Cerberus. Within a short time, Gluttonous Beast advanced by two more lower-level ranks. This pure energy condensed from the Twin-headed Cerberus was even more absurd than a Class VI elixir.

Apart from that, what mattered the most to David Jones was a new skill awakened as Gluttonous Beast’s strength advanced.

“Skill”: Gate of Hell (Pseudo)

“Level”: Class VII, Dual-Type Dark and Fire Epic skill

“Profile”: Transform the ground beneath your feet into a lava-filled hell and summon a Gate of Hell that leads to the underworld.

The Gate of Hell has three modes of attack, defense, and transport, each with different effects.

In Attack mode, the Gate of Hell can instantly detonate the lava ground, tearing space, releasing underground fire, and manifesting slain opponents into soldiers for battle.

In Defense mode, the Gate of Hell can exempt the caster from a fatal attack.

As for the Transport mode, it opens the door to Hell, giving the caster the qualification to visit Hell for a short time.

Note: Hell is a forbidden area that the living cannot enter. Those who forcibly open the Gate of Hell are likely to be cursed and marked by Hell, eventually falling into Infinite Purgatory.

Due to some power’s influence, the Gate of Hell skill is incomplete, and Gluttonous Beast can only release two forms of attack and defense.

After reading the skill introduction, a touch of solemnity appeared on David Jones’ face.

Even Hell exists in this world; no wonder the God Egg in his mind can undergo reincarnation. Such a highly dangerous skill should be used sparingly.

“Roar!”

At this moment, the completed Gluttonous Beast opened its excited eyes and suddenly appeared before David Jones.

“If it can grow so quickly by taking advantage of the Beast Refining Tower, Gluttonous Beast could soon advance to the upper-level Class IV!”

As he stroked Gluttonous Beast’s head with its slightly narrowed eyes, David Jones’ eyes brightened.

He wondered if the first two levels of the Inheritance Trial, which had already been passed, could be attempted again. Even if the properties of the two Emperor-class beasts that had been previously encountered were not compatible enough with Gluttonous Beast, their devouring process could still bring significant progress to Gluttonous Beast.

“Huh, strange. Why haven’t I heard the Artifact Spirit’s voice yet?”

David Jones blinked his eyes, finally noticing something wrong.

He had already passed the trial, so why hadn’t the environment changed, and even the passage portal hadn’t opened?

David Jones glanced at the place where the Twin-headed Cerberus had disappeared, leaving behind a snow-white canine tooth.

“Broken Cerberus Fang”: Level VI Dark and Poison Dual-Type resource, possessing the ability to purify souls, dispel curses, and detoxify.

David Jones picked up the Cerberus Fang and put it in his Star Ring, then muttered in his heart, “Open the next Inheritance Trial!”

“Whoosh!” A gust of wind blew past, and nothing happened.

David Jones looked down at Gluttonous Beast and thought to himself, “No way. Could Gluttonous Beast’s absorption of Arcane Force affect the operation of the Beast Refining Tower? How did this Beast Refining Tower suddenly freeze!”
