Chapter 612 The Power of the Dragon God
Hu Yan got up from the ground, the blackish-red color in his eyes becoming even more intense.
"So that little brat was protecting you?" He sneered. "Then I'll kill you first and force her out!"
He lunged at Yueqing again.
But this time, the tomb keeper made a move.
An ice wall instantly rose from the ground, blocking Hu Yan from the outside.
"If you want to kill her, you'll have to get past me first," the gravedigger's voice was icy.
Hu Yan sneered: "You think you can stop me?"
The abyssal power emanating from him suddenly surged, causing the entire ice crystal palace to tremble.
A hint of seriousness flashed in the gravedigger's eyes.
Just then, a furious roar suddenly came from outside the Ice Crystal Palace.
"Tiger Rock!"
Silver Tiger rushed in like lightning, his amber eyes fixed on Tiger Rock.
Tiger Peak and Tiger Roar followed closely behind.
"Silver Tiger?" Tiger Rock was stunned for a moment, then grinned maliciously, "You've come at the perfect time, I was just about to kill you!"
Silver Tiger didn't speak, but walked towards him step by step.
He exuded a terrifying aura, and the temperature of the entire Ice Crystal Palace dropped.
Yueqing could feel the dragon power surging within the silver tiger's body.
"You dare touch her?" Silver Tiger's voice was terrifyingly deep. "I'll make you wish you were dead."
Hu Yan sneered: "You? You're nothing but a dog that Hu Feng keeps!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Silver Tiger instantly transformed into a giant tiger and slapped Tiger Rock with one paw.
Hu Yan also transformed into a giant tiger to fight.
The two giant tigers collided instantly, their claws and teeth interlocking, and blood splattered everywhere.
Hu Feng's face turned ashen as he turned to the tomb keeper: "When was Hu Yan corrupted by the power of the abyss?"
The gravedigger said coldly, "He's been acting strange ever since you entered the far north ice field."
Hu Feng's fists clenched so tightly they made a cracking sound.
Hu Xiao's eyes were red and swollen: "Hu Yan is my brother who grew up with me since childhood, how could he..."
“Because he is greedy,” the gravedigger interrupted him. “The Lord of the Abyss is most adept at exploiting the weaknesses of the human heart.”
Just then, Silver Tiger suddenly let out a low growl and pierced Tiger Rock's shoulder with a claw.
Hu Yan let out a miserable cry, and the power of the abyss within him surged instantly.
"Since I can't kill you..." he suddenly turned his head, a glint of madness flashing in his eyes, "then I'll kill those two brats!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he broke free from the silver tiger and pounced towards the direction of the Dragon God Ice Sculpture.
That was the entrance for the daughter and son to enter the Dragon God's sea of consciousness.
"No!"
Yueqing's heart almost stopped beating.
Silver Tiger reacted instantly, but Tiger Rock was too fast, and he couldn't react in time.
Tiger Rock's claws were about to pierce the Dragon God Ice Sculpture.
A beam of golden light suddenly burst forth from the ice sculpture.
The daughter's figure appeared in the golden light; her eyes turned pure gold, and a dragon-shaped mark appeared on her forehead.
"You dare to hurt my mother."
The daughter's voice was soft, but it carried a devastating pressure.
Hu Yan froze.
The next second, his body began to crack inch by inch, and black abyssal power surged out from the cracks, but was instantly swallowed by the golden light.
"No...it's impossible..."
Tiger Rock's voice was filled with fear.
The daughter raised her hand, and a ball of golden flame appeared in her palm.
"I hate people who hurt their families the most."
She waved it gently.
The golden flames instantly engulfed Tiger Rock.
He didn't even have time to scream before he turned to ashes.
The entire ice crystal palace fell into a deathly silence.
Everyone stared in shock at the three-year-old girl, their eyes filled with disbelief.
Tears welled up in Yueqing's eyes instantly.
Her daughter, in order to protect her, truly awakened the power of the Dragon God.
But the next second, the daughter's body suddenly went limp and she fell to the ground.
"daughter!"
Yueqing rushed over and hugged her.
The daughter's face was pale, and the dragon-shaped mark on her forehead was slowly fading.
"Mother..." her voice was weak, "I'm so tired..."
"Don't be afraid, Mother is here." Yueqing's voice trembled, and tears dripped onto her daughter's face.
Silver Tiger rushed over, his amber eyes fixed on his daughter, filled with heartache.
Just then, the tomb keeper suddenly spoke up: "The power of the Dragon God within her body is not yet fully stable. If it is not sealed soon, she will be devoured by the Dragon God's consciousness."
Yue Qing was startled: "What do you mean?"
“It means…” the gravedigger’s voice was cold, “that she will lose herself and become a god who exists only to protect the world.”
As her daughter's body grew lighter, Yueqing could feel the warmth in her arms fading away.
The little girl who could easily defeat Hu Yan just moments ago is now as weak as a feather, as if she could be blown away by the wind at any moment.
"The gravedigger!" Yue Qing's voice was filled with suppressed anger. "What do you mean by saying she will be devoured by the Dragon God's consciousness?"
The tomb keeper slowly walked over, his cloudy eyes fixed on the fading dragon-shaped mark on his daughter's forehead.
“The power of the Dragon God is too strong; her body cannot withstand it.” His voice was cold. “If it is not sealed soon, the Dragon God’s consciousness will completely take over her body, and then she will no longer be your daughter.”
Yueqing's fingers clenched tightly.
She had witnessed too many failed resuscitations in the emergency room, but never before had she felt so powerless.
Silver Tiger crouched down, his amber eyes fixed on his daughter's pale face, and let out a low growl.
"Is there any way to save her?" His voice was terrifyingly low.
The gravedigger was silent for a moment: "Yes."
"What method?" Yueqing practically shouted.
“At the deepest part of the Dragon God’s Tomb lies the Spring of Life, the essence of divine power left behind by the Dragon God, which can stabilize the rampaging Dragon God power within her.” The tomb keeper paused. “But to reach that place, one must pass the Dragon God’s Trial.”
Yue Qing's heart sank: "What trial?"
“Only the Dragon God’s successor and her chosen guardian are allowed to enter.” The tomb keeper’s eyes swept over the crowd. “Anyone else who goes in will be instantly killed by the tomb’s defense mechanisms.”
Hu Feng frowned: "Then let her in. There's no need to stop her."
“She can’t even stand up right now,” Yueqing interrupted him, her voice trembling. “How are you going to let her take the trials?”
Just then, the daughter suddenly opened her eyes.
Those eyes were no longer pure gold, but a mixture of gold and black, as if two forces within her were vying for control.
“Mother…” her voice was very soft, “I can go.”
Yueqing shuddered, tears welling up instantly: "Daughter, you shouldn't go, it's too dangerous."
“I have to go.” The daughter raised her hand and touched Yueqing’s face. “If I don’t go, I will become a different person and I won’t recognize my mother anymore.”
Yueqing's heart is breaking.
Her daughter, only three years old, had to face a life-or-death ordeal alone.
“I’ll go with you,” Silver Tiger suddenly said.
His daughter turned to look at him, a hint of tenderness in her eyes: "Father, I want to..."
“I am your guardian.” Silver Tiger’s voice was calm, but his amber eyes were full of determination. “This is my responsibility.”
The tomb keeper looked at him coldly: "Are you sure? The Dragon God Trial is no child's play. Anyone who goes in will die."
