Worthless Profession: Dragon Tamer

Chapter 651, How Is This The Valley of Life?

Translator: Silavin

This Forbidden Zone, according to the Starry Sky Ancestor’s annotation in the Map Information, was inhabited by an Eternal Phase Shadow Dragon King.

Furthermore, this Dragon King’s strength was so formidable that even the Life Dragon King would have to yield three points to it.

Calling it one of the strongest existences in the Dragon Domain would not be wrong.

The Starry Sky Ancestor had even specifically noted that during his Infant Phase, he had witnessed an Eternal Phase Golden Dragon passing through this area.

Simply because the Dragon had inadvertently entered the territory of the Shadow Dragon King, it was suddenly seized by countless tentacles that emerged from nowhere, binding it tightly and dragging it into the territory.

From that day forth, that Eternal Phase Golden Dragon never emerged from that place ever again.

When Lu Fan passed through this area, he too was on edge.

Drawing closer, Lu Fan could see that the territory of the Shadow Dragon King was indeed like a bottomless abyss.

Black mist swirled within it, and Lu Fan dared not even use Black Dragon Perception to investigate the conditions below while passing by.

Lu Fan understood that with his current strength, using Black Dragon Perception would inevitably alarm the Shadow Dragon King.

If the Shadow Dragon King interpreted his Detection Skill as some form of provocation…

Then Lu Fan would not have enough lives and would probably have to die ten times over.

Therefore, when passing through this area, Lu Fan held his breath and took a distant glance.

At one point, he wondered when he would be able to stride across the Dragon Domain and use his Dragon Taming Skill to bring all the Dragons here under his command!

Lu Fan examined the Dragon Domain Map. There were seven other Forbidden Areas similar to this one owned by that Shadow Dragon King.

Simultaneously, within the dark regions that even the Starry Sky Ancestor had never visited, there should be at least four more Forbidden Areas.

If each Forbidden Area contained a tyrannical Dragon King, then the entire Dragon Domain should house at least eleven Dragon Kings!

If he could make all eleven Dragon Kings into his Pet Dragons, would Lu Fan not directly declare himself invincible?

In this world, was there any Map or enemy that these eleven Dragon Kings could not handle?

If there were, he would simply acquire ten more!

After all, Lu Fan himself was a Dragon King harvesting machine!

The Dragon Kings in his possession already numbered close to ten!

Naturally, these were merely Lu Fan’s fantasies.

Currently, far from being able to subdue Dragon Kings, he was no match for even an ordinary Eternal Phase Giant Dragon.

Lu Fan could not even defeat some of the Monsters that these Giant Dragons considered as food.

There were also some slightly stronger existences, such as the Elder Armoured Centipedes, which lived in the dense forest reaching lengths of ten kilometres, or the Ancient Green Rock Crocodiles basking in the Sun, like small mountains in the swamps…

These Monsters were fundamentally Bosses. In the Dragon Domain, anything associated with the term ‘Boss’ was essentially an existence Lu Fan needed to avoid.

However, Lu Fan had witnessed with his own eyes such beings get easily hunted down and devoured by Adult Giant Dragons.

In this world where the strong prey upon the weak, Lu Fan was certainly the weakest of the weak.

Throughout this journey, Lu Fan had seen too many things that ordinary people would never encounter in their lifetimes. For instance, he had observed seven or eight Giant Dragons alone, each of a different species.

The only commonality was the overwhelming sense of oppression they emanated, representing the absolutely pinnacle of Combat Power in this world.

Fortunately, the journey proceeded without major incident, and Lu Fan eventually reached the Valley of Life as in accordance with the Starry Sky Ancestor’s guidance.

The Valley of Life was situated between two towering mountains in the Dragon Domain. Both mountains were lush and verdant, brimming with Life Essence.

Between the mountains, one could observe a massive stone gate standing upright, blocking the essential passage into the valley.

The stone gate was not merely simple decoration; it was actually an ancient Transport Array. Only by passing through the Transport Array within this stone gate could one truly enter the Valley of Life.

According to the Starry Sky Ancestor’s explanation, this was because the body of the Life Dragon King – Root of Everything constantly released Life Essence.

This Life Essence could accelerate the growth of all Rootless Dragons, but it differed from how auras functioned. If the Life Dragon King – Root of Everything were not situated within a separate Secret Realm, this Life Essence would dissipate outward and fail to concentrate.

Therefore, the Valley of Life was actually positioned between two towering mountains, with an additional separate Secret Realm carved out.

This Secret Realm was not particularly spacious in area, but it was equivalent to a Dragon Nest, sufficient for the Life Dragon King and dozens of Rootless Dragons, who had not departed, to live there.

Should foraging become necessary, the Rootless Dragons could also pass through this Transport Array to hunt outside, within the Dragon Domain.

The Life Dragon King disliked combat but also disliked other Giant Dragons bullying her and her Rootless Dragons.

With such a Transport Array in place, the Valley of Life constituted an easily defended but difficult to attack location. The Life Dragon King and her Rootless Dragons dwelling could thus be considered a paradise within the Dragon Domain.

This Transport Array required a token for activation, and this token was naturally the Star Stone that the Starry Sky Ancestor had given to Lu Fan.

This Star Stone bore the Starry Sky Ancestor’s aura. Naturally, this meant that the aura of Rootless Dragons served as the key to opening the Transport Array.

As the Starry Sky Ancestor had mentioned, with his Star Stone, other Rootless Dragons would recognise the holder as someone belonging to the Family from the Valley of Life, so Lu Fan would also be regarded as one of their own.

Therefore, he need not be concerned about entering the Valley of Life. He would not get surrounded and beaten by dozens of Giant Dragons.

The Dragons within the Valley of Life were generally benevolent, unlike the Shadow Dragon King, which would directly drag in and devour any Giant Dragon merely passing through its territory.

Lu Fan might even be fortunate enough to have some Baby Dragons take a liking to him and willingly become his Pet Dragons.

Still, Lu Fan dared not entertain thoughts of collecting two more Pet Dragons here. However, if he could take away some materials or Special Items from the Valley of Life, that would indeed be great.

After all, Lu Fan still remembered how a single drop of Divine Tree Essence from the Flying Dragon Divine Tree had enabled Xing Chen to evolve from a Starry Sky Dragon into a Starry Sky Dragon King.

If he could obtain two more drops of Divine Tree Essences, that would be a massive boon.

Lu Fan rode Ye Sha and flew to the stone gate, simultaneously retrieving the Star Stone.

Upon approaching the stone gate, the Star Stone indeed illuminated, displaying the words ‘Usable’.

Lu Fan directly selected to use it, and the Transport Array was activated. Lu Fan experienced a familiar pulling sensation before being transported into a new Secret Realm.

Originally, Lu Fan had expected that upon entering, he would witness a paradise even more magnificent than the Dragon Domain, filled with birdsong and fragrant flowers.

However, upon truly arriving here, he was dumbfounded. [Wait! How!? How is this the Valley of Life!?]
