Chapter 676: Imperial Draco-Bull

“This is more like it.” Li Qiye came over while this buffalo was still gazing at Li Qiye. However, it didn’t attack him.

“Take it easy, it’s me.” Li Qiye placed his palm on the beast’s forehead. At this time, his forehead opened once more and out came an endless sea of memories. In this instant, a ray of light from inside quickly entered the buffalo’s head.

A buzzing sound came about the moment Li Qiye’s ray of light disappeared inside the buffalo’s head. A halo with a very sacred feeling appeared above it as if nothing in this world could stain it, as if this halo was empowered by the G.o.ds and capable of repelling all evil.

“Mooo!” The moment this halo appeared, the buffalo finally recognized Li Qiye and became extremely excited. It mooed at Li Qiye and used its head to rub against him, looking quite familiar.

“There we go. Although you have left me for a very long time now, I’m still here.” Li Qiye gently tapped the buffalo’s head while smiling.

The buffalo was ecstatic. Its nose spewed out hot air and it kept on rubbing against Li Qiye as if it was seeing a loved one.

Li Qiye patted the buffalo while lightly sighing and said: “It seems that… the descendants of the Celestial Peak Divine School are no longer here, and the G.o.dking’s branch is all but gone. So many years have pa.s.sed, but no one came to find you. That means my promise with the G.o.dking also ends here.”

This normal-looking buffalo was not a common one. It was a Draco-Bull, but ordinary Draco-Bulls were nothing compared to it since it had the bloodline of a True Dragon flowing through its veins. Although it had yet to reach atavism to turn into a True Dragon, it was definitely a Divine Bull.

Li Qiye named it the Imperial Draco-Bull, and it was once his mount, following him from one dangerous location to another. If the Tetra-War Bronze Chariot was Li Qiye’s carriage to fight against the world, then the Imperial Draco-Bull was Li Qiye’s preferred mount to enter ominous grounds.

Later on, when Li Qiye let the G.o.dking protect the Celestial Peak Mountains, Li Qiye wanted to make up for the G.o.dking’s effort, so outside of granting him many treasures, he also gave the Imperial Draco-Bull to this G.o.dking.

Later on, the bull followed the G.o.dking and became the school’s Divine Guardian.

Li Qiye looked at the halo above its head and noticed how dim it was compared to before. He gently tapped the bull’s head and said: “Don’t worry, although the Divine School is no longer here, I’ll find an even better lineage with sufficient power to nourish your divinity for you in the future.”

“Moo—” The bull understood Li Qiye and affectionately rubbed against his palm.

In fact, this bull was already extremely mighty and could have turned into a demon a long time ago. However, it didn’t walk on this demonic path since it wanted to become either a True Dragon or a Divine Bull; it chose not to gain intelligence using the dao.

“Let me take a look and see what actually happened back then to the Divine School.” Li Qiye placed his palm on the bull’s head, and a radiance flashed. At this time, the bull’s sea of memories appeared, allowing Li Qiye to look at the past events of that year.

Many scenes appeared inside the bull’s sea of memories. Just like Yuan Caihe had said, the strongest existence of the Divine School dug out the item underground during that time.

The moment it saw the light, it brought doom to the Divine School. Overnight, many people died a pitiful death. Even an existence as powerful as a G.o.dking was still unable to avoid such a fate.

Back then, the slumbering Imperial Draco-Bull was the Divine Guardian, and it woke up from its slumber in astonishment. It rushed out from its cave, but it was too late. In just one night, countless experts had fallen.

It then sealed that item again and went back to sleep, covering itself in Blood Era Stones, awaiting its next awakening.

However, the majority of the Divine School’s experts were dead. Later on, the school fell into decline, and not long after, the once monstrous existence collapsed. From then on, the lineage that presided over this territory that spanned millions of miles disappeared from the world.

Because of this collapse, the G.o.dking no longer had any descendants, and no one ever woke up the Imperial Draco-Bull from its hibernation until today.

At that time, Li Qiye made a promise to the G.o.dking that the bull would act as the Divine Guardian for the G.o.dking’s main branch. Because of this, although the Divine School had collapsed later on, Li Qiye still didn’t come back to wake the bull up.

Millions of years had pa.s.sed, but no one came to wake up this bull. This meant that the G.o.dking’s line had ended, so Li Qiye’s promise with the G.o.dking would end here as well.

Li Qiye withdrew his palm from the bull’s forehead and couldn’t help but lament: “One might be able to survive an act of G.o.d, but no one can survive a self-brought calamity. The G.o.dking left behind an edict, yet his descendants chose not to obey and eventually brought about this disaster.”

In the past, he let the G.o.dking suppress this land for two reasons. Outside of not letting the item underground see the light of day again, he also wanted to see this land be turned away from evil.
