Worthless Profession: Dragon Tamer

Chapter 1191, Returning to the Dragon Domain

Translator: Silavin

Lu Fan nodded, fully understanding the importance of the battle ahead.

The Desolate Ancient God had been able to invade the Dragon Domain, driving even a Dragon King like the Life Dragon King to utter helplessness, forcing her to hold on desperately in the deepest part of the Valley of Life just to avoid being wiped out.

Had Lu Fan not gone to the Valley of Life at that time and found them, they would have already been devoured by the Desolate Ancient God and turned into nourishment for its awakening.

The threat posed by this powerful existence absolutely rivalled that of the Slaughter Ancient God. If the Desolate Ancient God could not be killed, then there would be at least four Ancient Gods that could not be dealt with.

Just how incredibly difficult was it to protect this era if they all made it to the end!?

Thus, for this journey, they needed to prepare. This was absolutely essential.

After returning, Lu Fan quickly informed the others of their imminent departure for the Dragon Domain.

Ye Wuxian and the rest, upon hearing this, were all deeply excited. One by one, they declared that on this journey they would do their best. They would not repeat what happened last time, when they had been of little help to Lu Fan.

After a full day of preparations, everyone was finally ready. They gathered on the open ground of Shadow Isle, formally preparing to head to the Valley of Life within the Dragon Domain and hunt down the Desolate Ancient God.

Lu Fan directly summoned Xing Chen and Xiao Cui, then activated Dragon Domain, pulling everyone into it together.

As the scenery around them shifted, everyone quickly found themselves standing atop a towering mountain peak that seemed to pierce the clouds.

This was everyone’s first time entering the real Dragon Domain, so all of them were extraordinarily excited and curious.

After all, in this world, Giant Dragons were the very pinnacle of living creatures. Had they not known Lu Fan, every single person here might have gone their entire lives without ever laying eyes on a Giant Dragon.

Although Shadow Isle already had several resident Giant Dragons, and the Life Dragon King had even nurtured some young hatchlings, who had developed decent relations with the girls over time, coming to the Dragon Domain, the true homeland of Giant Dragons, was still something none of them had ever done before.

This place was said to be teeming with Giant Dragons in every direction. This was the sort of sight that, in the outside world, was almost beyond imagination.

Yet standing here now, all they could see was the mountaintop beneath their feet and a boundless sea of clouds stretching out in every direction. Everything else was invisible.

So, their excitement faded quickly, and everyone began looking around for any sign of a Giant Dragon.

Tao Xiaoman rapped the hilt of her sword against the invisible barrier in front of her, and immediately saw it ripple like the surface of water.

Everyone understood, though they were physically within the Dragon Domain, they were constrained by the fact that this was ultimately just one of Xiao Cui’s Skills. Their actual surroundings were limited by the Skill’s influence, and they could only move within this defined space.

It was like being placed inside a birdcage and then submerged in water.

For creatures that naturally lived in water, as water flowed in through the gaps of the cage, their power would surge. But for those not of the water, the discomfort would instead diminish their strength.

This was the principle behind how Dragon Domain functioned.

Yet the ‘birdcage’ formed by Dragon Domain was fixed, and even Lu Fan, who had created the cage, could not dismantle it and allow himself and the others to freely break through it and truly enter the Dragon Domain.

For that, Xing Chen was needed.

“This is the summit of one of the Dragon Domain’s mountain peaks. If we fly down from here, we will see the true Dragon Domain.”

Lu Fan explained briefly, then summoned the Two Headed Dragon and the Flame Dragon.

“You can all ride the Two Headed Dragon and proceed from here into the Dragon Domain together. I’ll have Xing Chen open a passage through this barrier, and we’ll all pass through it together to properly enter the Dragon Domain.”

Once the Two Headed Dragon and the Flame Dragon were summoned, their expressions immediately shifted.

They breathed in the air of the Dragon Domain hungrily, like fish that had been too long above the surface of water.

“This is the Dragon Domain’s aura… truly makes one nostalgic…” The Two Headed Dragon was moved and overcome, clearly finding that despite Shadow Isle’s comfortable life, he still preferred the Dragon Domain.

After all, the Dragon Domain was where a Giant Dragon such as himself truly belonged.

Having indulged these feelings for a moment, the Two Headed Dragon did not forget what purpose had brought them here. He immediately lowered himself, allowing Jian Ying and the others to clamber up onto his body.

Ordinarily, for a ‘Pet’ to be Ridden, one required equipment such as a Dragon Saddle. But the Two Headed Dragon was already a fully grown Giant Dragon, and possessed his own unique traits. As long as he was willing, he could carry Players on his back.

Of course, the Players riding on him could not benefit from a share of his Attributes, but it was not like they were supposed to fight on him.

Everyone made their way onto the Two Headed Dragon. As for the Flame Dragon, given that his entire body was basically ablaze, aside from Ye Wuxian, nobody else could remain on him comfortably. So, he ended up having a rather easy time.

Once everyone was Mounted, Lu Fan swung himself up onto Xing Chen. He had Xing Chen activate Starry Space Passage, opening a channel through the barrier of the Dragon Domain.

Xing Chen carried Lu Fan, taking the lead, and passed through the channel first. The Two Headed Dragon and the Flame Dragon followed close behind, entering the actual Dragon Domain.

Everyone dove downward together, beginning to pierce through the thick, heavy sea of clouds below.

No one could say how far they had flown, but eventually, the view before everyone’s eyes brightened, and the world magnificently opened up.

Below, a breathtaking expanse of scenery stretched out without end. Towering mountains and dense forests blanketing the land, rivers cutting across the terrain in every direction, their surfaces shimmering and glittering.

Such splendour was difficult to find in the real world. It surpassed even a film’s most lavish scenery. It truly lifted ones’ spirits and refreshed the mind.

Even veterans among the group, who had walked through no small number of Maps, could not help but let out cries of wonder. One by one, they were stirred and excited as children on an excursion.

“Is this the Dragon Domain?! It’s amazing!” Tao Xiaoman cried out in amazement, nearly slipping off the Two Headed Dragon’s back.

Lu Fan, watching this, smiled, and the faint thread of worry in his heart dissolved.

What he had worried about was whether the Desolate Ancient God had remained in the Dragon Domain and had completely destroyed it. After all, even the Valley of Life had been devoured by it. If it was strong enough to continue spreading outward, the entire Dragon Domain might eventually be consumed as well, reduced to the same bleak ruin as the Valley of Life.

Now, looking at the scene before him, it seemed his worry had been somewhat excessive. The Desolate Ancient God was strong, but the Giant Dragons were no cakewalks either.

At least for now, the Dragon Domain appears as it always had. There was no sign of it being encroached upon by the Desolate Ancient God.

If that were the case, then even if the Desolate Ancient God had grown stronger, it had presumably done so within a certain limit. The group’s journey might well end with the Divine Seat successfully secured.

“The Desolate Ancient God should still be in the Valley of Life. I am not knowledgeable of the Dragon Domain, so I’ll lead the way!” Lu Fan called out, turning his head towards the Two Headed Dragon and the Flame Dragon.

The Two Headed Dragon nodded. “No problem. Just follow me!”
