Two Worlds: The Demon Cultivator Mistakenly Enters the Lord's World

Chapter 202 The Dragon Worship Cult, the Dragon Lich

In the world of Lords, the Green Dragon is one of the five chromatic dragons, holding a unique position.

Unlike the red dragon, which is fond of fire and war, or the blue dragon, which is obsessed with controlling lightning, they are often regarded as children of the earth and guardians of nature. Because they live in dense forests year-round, they are also known as "forest dragons".

In terms of appearance alone, the Green Dragon is highly recognizable.

Its entire body is covered with layers of emerald green scales, which shimmer with a lustrous sheen under the sunlight, allowing it to blend perfectly into the forest while exuding a touch of luxury.

An adult green dragon has a wingspan of up to 80 feet, which, when spread out, resembles two huge green clouds that can cover the sky. It is about 30 feet tall, and when standing, it is comparable to a ten-story building. Its body length can reach 85 feet, and when it is coiled up, it is like a moving green mountain range.

However, what makes the green dragon most fearsome is not its enormous size, but its cunning, which far surpasses that of other dragons.

They are naturally intelligent and meticulous.

They are particularly adept at manipulating people's hearts and setting up scams. They disdain direct confrontation and prefer to use two-faced methods to achieve their goals.

They may disguise themselves as harmless creatures to gain trust, or they may instigate conflicts between other forces to reap the benefits. Therefore, in the world of Lords, green dragons are also known as "forest schemers".

Generally, green dragons build their lairs in secluded caves deep in the forest, which are both safe and convenient for ambushes.

The remains of the giant tree in front of us are astonishing in scale. The trunk is so thick that it would take hundreds of people to encircle it, and it stretches for miles. In terms of volume, it is no different from a small mountain.

It has been lying here for countless years. Under the erosion of time, the wood has long lost its original softness and become as hard as a fossil. Its surface has a dark brown luster, making it even more solid than ordinary rocks. No wonder the green dragon chose to build its nest here.

This natural "fortress" is a perfect fit for the green dragon, far more suitable than a cave for building a nest.

However, the green dragon's lair is now clearly abandoned, with no trace of the green dragon living there anymore, leaving only a decaying, dangerous cave full of unknowns.

"A single dragon's roar was enough to overwhelm ordinary undead creatures, causing their soul flames to shatter. What other strange things are hidden in this abandoned green dragon's lair?!"

After losing some ordinary undead creatures, Ironwall became increasingly wary of the abandoned green dragon lair.

Concentrating their senses, they could clearly feel a strong aura of death in this abandoned green dragon's lair, in addition to the lingering traces of the dragon's might.

The aura was chilling and bone-piercing, even more so than the gloom of the undead under his command, as if the deathly energy that had been accumulating for thousands of years lingered deep within the cave.

"Could it be that this abandoned green dragon's lair has been taken over by a powerful undead creature?"

The thought popped into Tiebi's mind, and he became even more cautious.

He knew very well that if there were indeed high-level undead entrenched here, rashly allowing the undead army to break in would only increase the losses.

Without hesitation, he immediately contacted Lu Feng through the Soulfire, reporting the situation of the nest and his own speculations, and respectfully asked the lord for a decision.

Lu Feng, who was far away in Black Stone Territory, immediately summoned the Old Dragon King of Honghu upon hearing Tiebi's report.

"An abandoned nest of a green dragon! Interesting! I've been cultivating in seclusion for a long time, it's a good opportunity to see the green dragons of the Lord's World!"

The Old Dragon King of Honghu laughed, saying that he had been diligently cultivating the "Mingyu Spring and Autumn Cicada Technique" supernatural power these days and was already quite restless. Now that he had the opportunity to explore the dragon's ruins, it was a good time to stretch his muscles and bones.

Dragons have always existed in the world of Lords. Ever since the Old Dragon King of Honghu came here, he has often been compared to dragons by some magic-based units or the people of his territory.

Some say his dragon might is not as fiery as the red dragon's, and some say his body is not as large as the blue dragon's.

The old Dragon King would only smile faintly at this, but he had already made his own judgment.

He had inquired about the dragons of the Lord World, only to learn that those so-called dragons were nothing more than large winged lizards.

With its scales scattered and whiskers sparse, and even the instinct to summon clouds and rain requiring cultivation, it was filled with disdain.

While on the road, he couldn't help but complain to Lu Feng:

“Those creatures dare to call themselves dragons? They’re too ugly! A true dragon’s body should have scales like glass and whiskers like golden ribbons. It should be able to draw water from the four seas and summon wind and clouds from the nine heavens. How could it be such a coarse creature? Today, I’ll go to that lair and see if this green dragon is just as wretched.”

His tone was full of the arrogance of a true dragon, clearly showing that he didn't take the dragons of the Lord's World seriously.

Hearing the Old Dragon King of Honghu so disdainfully look down on the dragons of the Lord's World, Lu Feng's expression hardened, and he immediately raised his hand to interrupt him, saying:

"Old Dragon King, you must not underestimate the dragons of the Lord World!"

Lu Feng stopped and looked at the old Dragon King with a serious expression, his tone stern: "The dragons on this land are not just legends; their strength is forged through real power!"

Upon hearing this, the Old Dragon King of Honghu's expression changed slightly. Lu Feng continued, "An adult dragon possesses a stable 3-star strength, equivalent to a Golden Core stage cultivator in the cultivation world! You're only at the late Foundation Establishment stage. If you were to encounter an adult dragon, with your current cultivation level, how many Golden Core stage cultivators could you possibly defeat?"

He paused, then dropped an even more shocking statement:
"Not to mention, some ancient dragons that have lived for thousands of years can even reach legendary strength. They are stronger than Golden Core cultivators. Their physical bodies can withstand magic weapons, and their breath can destroy cities. Ask yourself honestly, can you really defeat them?"

Although Lu Feng's words were stern, they were like a wake-up call, instantly waking the old dragon king of Honghu who was immersed in his arrogance.

He stood frozen in place, Lu Feng's words echoing repeatedly in his mind.

In the world of cultivation, true dragons are indeed beings that can overturn rivers and seas. Ancient texts are full of legends about true dragons summoning wind and rain and roaming the universe. But those are true dragons who have actually attained enlightenment.

In the end, he himself was nothing more than a dragon in the late stage of Foundation Establishment, not even having touched the threshold of a true dragon.

A true dragon possesses the power to lift mountains and fill seas, and its breath can freeze rivers, while the power of a jiaolong (a type of dragon) is ultimately limited.

Although he can now control the water veins of the Angry River, this skill is simply not enough to withstand a truly powerful enemy.

The best example is the one who fled in a sorry state from the hands of the monk Guangzhi at Kongo Temple.

How long has it been? Have we already begun to look back on past humiliations and weakness?
Thinking of this, the arrogance on the old Dragon King's face receded like the tide, replaced by a sober and solemn expression.

He was indeed too complacent, looking down on the dragons of the Lord World based solely on his bloodline, forgetting that his strength was far from sufficient to be arrogant.

The Old Dragon King of Honghu slowly lowered his head, suppressing the dragon aura that unconsciously emanated from his body. His expression returned to its usual composure, but he remained silent, standing there with his eyes downcast, clearly reflecting on the mistake he had made due to his arrogance. Seeing the Old Dragon King of Honghu in this state, Lu Feng ignored him and simply rode the Bone Spire, carrying the Old Dragon King of Honghu, flying towards the center of Roland Forest.

The spire pierced the sky, leaving a faint afterimage as it sped faster and faster, gradually revealing the outline of the distant forest.

A moment later, Lu Feng saw the giant black tree lying in the middle of the forest. The half-hidden tree hole in the center of the tree was the abandoned nest of the green dragon.

"Lord Lord!"

As soon as he landed on the Bone Spire, a black figure strode forward and bowed deeply to Lu Feng. It was none other than Tie Bi, who had been waiting there.

Following behind Lu Feng, the Old Dragon King of Honghu had completely suppressed his arrogance and stood calmly to the side, his gaze unconsciously falling on the giant black tree, sensing the faint aura within the nest.

Lu Feng waved his hand, his tone gentle yet tinged with urgency:

"No need for such formalities. How did things go? After your undead creatures were disturbed, did anything else happen in the abandoned green dragon's lair?"

Lu Feng knew that the key to this trip lay in the unknown existence within the nest, so he immediately inquired about the current situation upon meeting.

Iron Wall straightened up, his silver soul fire flickering, and reported with a hint of caution:
"My lord, since that dragon's roar, there has been no further noticeable movement within the lair. There have been no unusual sounds or fluctuations in energy emanating from it, but..."

He paused, a hint of solemnity appearing in his soul fire:
"The aura of death lurking deep within the lair is even stronger than before, as if something is secretly gathering power. I was afraid that sending undead soldiers to probe would alert what was inside, so I have been guarding this place and have not dared to make any rash moves."

This is not an excuse.

The undead army under Iron Wall can overwhelm ordinary 2-star white and 2-star silver monsters with its numerical advantage, but it is powerless when it encounters 2-star gold monsters or even stronger ones.

Without the late-stage Foundation Establishment strength of the Old Dragon King of Honghu, and without the power of the Xuan Sha Shocking Heaven Formation, he had no means to deliver a decisive blow.

If we alert the enemy and allow the unknown creatures in their lair to escape or retaliate, the consequences could be disastrous.

So even though he was anxious, he could only suppress his anxiety and wait quietly for Lu Feng to arrive.

Lu Feng nodded slightly after hearing this: "Yes! I understand. It's up to me and the Old Dragon King now!"

After saying that, Lu Feng took over command of the army from Tie Bi.

The spire was lifted up, and with a gentle turn, a large number of undead creatures transformed into streams of light and were absorbed into the spire.

It allows for the convenient activation of the Mysterious Heaven-Shattering Array at any time, unleashing the power of the battle formation.

The old dragon king of Honghu Lake had already activated his wind and rain summoning powers, with a faint blue aura surrounding him. The aura extended along the direction of the nest, capturing the special scent carried by the wind.

After a moment, he frowned, muttering to himself in confusion:

"Strange, this abandoned green dragon cave is teeming with a powerful aura of the dead, and within that aura lies a faint yet pure dragon's might. These two auras are actually merging together here... Could it be that a giant dragon died here, and after its death, its body was tainted by the death energy and transformed into an undead creature?"

The Old Dragon King of Honghu had limited knowledge and was unfamiliar with some of the special circumstances of the Lord's World, making him quite unfamiliar with this situation.

But when Lu Feng heard his mutterings, a thought suddenly struck him.

He felt a sense of familiarity with this situation, as if he had seen similar descriptions somewhere before.

He raised his hand to his brow, trying to recall the classic texts he had read in the past.

Since his transmigration, he has spent a considerable amount of time studying the 100,000 books in the Blackstone Territory Library, covering a wide range of topics from local customs and traditions to secret stories and strange events.

At that moment, a flash of inspiration struck me, and some scattered fragments of text gradually pieced together, vaguely revealing relevant records.

"Some humans who worship dragons have formed a sect called the 'Dragon Worship Cult.' They worship and believe in dragons as gods, offering them treasures and sacrifices and actively eliminating their enemies. In the process of serving dragons for a long time, they have mastered an extremely strange transformation ritual."

"This ritual can help a dragon abandon its physical body when it is about to die, binding its soul to its bones and transforming it into a dragon lich that embraces death. Dragon liches are not bound by birth, aging, sickness and death. As long as their soul core is not completely worn away, they can live on and even grow stronger by using death energy."

Lu Feng's gaze fell on the dark tree hole, his tone tinged with uncertainty:
"Could the creature in this cave be a dragon lich? If so, we're probably no match for it!"

Lu Feng pondered this possibility, noting that the gap between the upper and lower limits of the Dragon Lich was vast.

The power gap between dragon liches is enormous, with their upper and lower limits being worlds apart.

If that green dragon was already incredibly powerful back then, after transforming into a dragon lich, it would probably have possessed combat strength comparable to or even higher than that of a late-stage Golden Core cultivator.

However, if one is not as clever as the notoriously stupid White Dragon among the five dragons, even if one transforms into a dragon lich, one will at most rely on the toughness of one's dragon bones to charge around recklessly, and will not become very powerful.

But the situation is unclear at the moment, and no one dares to bet that the dragon lich is the latter.

The old dragon king of Honghu felt a pang of anxiety and instinctively clenched his fists.

If he were to encounter the former, with his late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivation and Lu Feng's Xuan Sha Shocking Heaven Formation, he would probably only be able to open the interdimensional portal on the spot and escape back to the resting immortal cultivation world, never to return.

Looking at the old Dragon King's solemn expression, Lu Feng slowly spoke, his words leaving no room for doubt:

"This abandoned green dragon cave is right next to my territory, like a sword hanging over the heads of Blackstone Territory. There's no way to get around it. If we leave it unattended, and the dragon lich inside regains its strength and breaks out of its lair one day, the people of my territory will surely suffer. I still need to find a way to explore it, find out its details, and preferably eliminate the future threat!"

After saying that, Lu Feng condensed a ball of dark red blood at his fingertips.

Blood spun rapidly in his palm, gradually coalescing into a semi-transparent human-shaped outline.

This is a 2-star silver-grade Blood God Child Dao Soldier, nurtured in the Dao Foundation Space for a long time. Now is the time for it to replace Lu Feng in exploring the abandoned dragon nest and play its role.

Lu Feng pointed, and the Blood God Child Dao Soldier nodded slightly. His figure transformed into a dark red blood shadow and silently flew towards the dark cave.

As light as a falling leaf, it quickly disappeared into the shadows at the cave entrance.
