Eternal Beast Taming Family

A massive bronze warship slowly rose from behind the bronze palace; it was the same ship Jing Yu had ridden on when he last arrived.

However, its surface has undergone some simple repairs, and the pits and damage on the surface have been covered under the newly applied lapis lazuli, making it look like a newly built warship.

It has a shape that can expand and contract in size. As the warship in the air grows, its size gradually increases until it is 400 meters in front and behind and more than 100 meters in the left and right before it slowly stops growing.

"Boarding."

At the command of a newly appointed officer, all the soldiers standing on the ground were lifted into the air and landed on the deck of the warship.

Chu Shengyuan sat on a bronze chair built on the deck, pointing to a direction on the terrain model in front of him.

"Let's go."

The ancient bronze warship slowly glided past the mountains, heading into the distance, followed by more than a dozen commercial vessels built by the Chu family.

Although no battles have been fought yet, the Chu family has already brought along commercial exchange ships to transport spoils of war, preparing to use them for this purpose.

With the spiritual energy flowing from the leading warship protecting them, the merchant ships following behind also became much faster. In just over half a day, they arrived at the destination that Chu Shengyuan had set on the sand table.

Black Dragon City.

Unlike other places where it's bright and sunny, this place is still gloomy and overcast.

The sky was dim, and although one could see normally, some areas were dense, impenetrable shadows.

Above Black Dragon City, a bird with long tail feathers, its body glowing with intense firelight, roamed around like a blazing sun.

The shadow energy scattered around him due to the shattering of the Black Dragon Secret Realm was slowly dissipating under the scorching heat of the fire beside him, but the rate of dissipation was not very rapid.

It would take at least several decades to completely dispel the fog that shrouds Black Dragon City.

The appearance of the bronze warship outside Black Dragon City was quite a commotion, and it was quickly spotted by the "Blazing Sunbird." The bird stopped its hovering figure in the air and looked in the direction of the warship with its eyes gleaming with fire.

"Where did this demonic beast come from? This is the territory of the Phoenix Feather Demon Lord. Please state your name and come forward."

Chu Shengyuan scoffed at its question, "It's just a mere Transcendent Rank cultivator, yet it dares to steal the title of Demon Lord. Aren't you afraid of being unable to suppress it and suffering a backlash from heaven and earth?"

Upon hearing this voice, the "Blazing Sunbird" instantly fixed its gaze on Chu Shengyuan on the warship, and couldn't help but let out a surprised exclamation.

"It's you... the thief who sneaked into the secret realm."

Chu Shengyuan slowly floated into the air from the warship, releasing his Rank-Evolving aura without reservation.

"That's right, I didn't expect you to still remember me. Today I've come to attack Black Dragon City. To avoid unnecessary casualties, how about you obediently hand over the city?"

The flames in the eyes of the "Blazing Sunbird" had already spread out, whether it was because it was angry that Chu Shengyuan had escaped last time, or because it resented Chu Shengyuan for destroying the unique secret realm of Black Dragon City that had been passed down for thousands of years.

"You scoundrel, you have destroyed the secrets of my Black Dragon City. Today... I will grind you to dust."

Chu Shengyuan raised his hand, and a black dragon shadow appeared behind him. A dragon roar that shook the heavens and the earth resounded. The shadow power in the surrounding space was shaken by its aura and became active, as if welcoming the return of their emperor.

"The Black Dragon City's secret realm was originally built for the Black Dragon, and its master should also be the Black Dragon. Now that its master has returned, shouldn't you, a firebird, hand over the city?"

"Black Dragon..."

The Blazing Sunbird was stunned to see a real black dragon appear before it. It never imagined that it would actually see the legendary black dragon in Black Dragon City.

Before it could say anything, the ordinary residents of Black Dragon City, and even some low-level demonic beasts, had already begun to kneel and worship in the direction of the black dragon, with bursts of praise and prayer echoing from within.

"You thief, you've produced an illusion from who-knows-where to deceive the people of Black Dragon City. Now I will expose your illusion."

As it spoke, it spread its wings, and phantom firebirds made of flames burst forth from its body, charging towards Chu Shengyu, the black dragon, and the warship in the air.

The "Blazing Sunbird" attacks greedily, trying to take down all three targets in front of it at once.

However, the illusion was very beautiful. The body of the "Mysterious Black Dragon Emperor" turned slightly in the air, and the shadow power that permeated the surrounding void was instantly mobilized by him.

Like a large splash of ink across the sky, the Firebirds' path was blocked by the domain of shadow. They disappeared into the shadow, just as flames sank into the sea, instantly becoming still.

After this round of attacks, the flames on the "Blazing Sunbird" seemed to have subsided somewhat, as if it had realized that the black dragon before it was not some kind of illusion.

Instead, they are real, existing monsters capable of launching attacks.

However, according to His Majesty the Phoenix Feather Demon Lord, the existence of black dragons had long since disappeared into the river of time. How could one suddenly appear today?

However, it didn't have much time to hesitate. The black dragon had already soared into the air and mobilized the shadow power left behind by the shattered secret realm in the entire area.

A gigantic shadow dragon head emerged from the heavens and earth, then its mouth opened wide, and the surging shadows transformed into waves that crashed toward the "Blazing Sunbird".

These shadow waves, after being specially tempered by the dragon's head, have become even more pure in their corrosive power.

A hint of apprehension flashed in the eyes of the "Blazing Sun Bird." It had only ever seen this level of attack from the "Phoenix Feather Demon Lord," and it hadn't expected that this black dragon could actually use it in real combat.

It had already begun to consider retreating. This being could kill it with almost no effort. It would report the appearance of this black dragon monster to the authorities.

For it, getting the demon lords to make preparations early, or persuading them to join the demon kingdom, would likely be a great achievement.

It flapped its wings, and the forces of wind and fire combined to create several wind and fire blades, each tens of feet long, slashing towards the dark wave. It did not seek to completely block it, but only to slow its speed down for a moment.

Its main body rapidly flapped its wings, transforming into a streak of flame, and quickly fled in a direction far away from Black Dragon City.

Chu Shengyuan's eyes narrowed slightly. In the entire Black Dragon City, only this "Blazing Sun Bird," a mortal-level demonic beast, existed. And in this remote corner of the Hundred Thousand Mountains...

This also shows that Black Dragon City is still very important in the eyes of that so-called Demon Lord, and naturally Chu Shengyuan would not allow him to send messages back.

As the fiery streak traveled halfway, a huge black dragon claw descended from the sky and caught the fiery streak with remarkable precision.

Like a cage formed by the power of shadow, no matter how the "Blazing Sunbird" struggled, it could not escape.

Chu Shengyuan flashed to the front of the Dragon Claw Prison and looked at the "Blazing Sun Bird" fluttering inside, with occasional feathers falling.

"Well, Lord Blazing Sunbird, would you be willing to submit to the Black Dragon and join a new kingdom?"
