Necromancer, summon skeletons, practice the Heaven-Swallowing Magic Skill

This unprecedented terrifying aura and sense of oppression seemed as if the entire volcano was trembling under Lu Ming's pressure.

Although on the surface, his magician level has just reached the mage level, there is still a big gap compared to the powerful dragon who is at the grand mage level.

But as his magic cultivation realm broke through to the magic pill level, Lu Ming's strength was almost the same as that of the great magician, and he was even better in some aspects.

The most intuitive manifestation is the ability to fly in the air.

The Great Mage can only maintain flight in the void for half a day at most, but with the help of the magic pill in his body, Lu Ming can soar into the sky without restrictions. This ability is even comparable to that of a strong man in the Holy Realm.

Not only that, as his realm improved, more space and inheritance opened up to him in the space ring left by the Demon Emperor Tuntian. In an instant, Lu Ming received the cultivation techniques of the Demon Pill Realm, as well as a series of terrifying secret techniques and magical powers of the Demon Pill Realm.

At the same time, the Undead Godhead also taught him about the Undead magic of the mage level. This knowledge poured into Lu Ming's mind like a torrent, allowing his strength to achieve a qualitative leap.

He is no longer a fledgling foundation-building cultivator, but a true magic pill master who has the capital to fight against a dragon.

However, the dragon did not seem to fully realize the seriousness of the problem.

Although its heart was stirred and it was even a little frightened after feeling Lu Ming's increasingly terrifying aura, its pride made it unwilling to admit this fact.

The dragon spread its huge wings and taunted with a majestic voice: "Human, I admit that you are very talented, but do you think that you can compete with me just because you have broken through the mage level? You are just a fleeting meteor, and I am the master of this sky!"

Facing the dragon's provocation, Lu Ming sneered. He did not say anything, but took action directly.

He activated the magic pill, and the demonic energy in his body surged like a torrent, transforming into a tremendous force that squeezed and distorted the surrounding air.

Lu Ming's figure disappeared instantly. The next moment, he appeared above the giant dragon and swung the Sky-Devouring Demon Sword in his hand. A sword beam containing destructive power cut through the sky and headed straight for the giant dragon.

The giant dragon was shocked. It didn't expect Lu Ming's speed to be so fast that he arrived above its head in almost an instant.

It flapped its wings hastily, trying to dodge, but Lu Ming's attack had already locked onto it. The sword light, with unparalleled power, slashed fiercely on the dragon's scales.

With a loud "bang", the sword light collided with the dragon's scales, making a deafening sound. The dragon's body was shaken back several feet, leaving obvious scars on its scales.

This blow made the dragon completely sober up. It realized that the human in front of it was no longer someone it could easily crush.

Lu Ming stood in the void, pointing his magic sword at the giant dragon. His voice was as cold as the wind: "Giant dragon, your time has passed. Now, I will rule this sky!"

At this moment, Lu Ming's momentum reached its peak. He was no longer the tiny human in front of the dragon, but a strong man who could truly have an equal dialogue with the dragon.

The climax of the battle was like a mountain torrent. The dragon, as the most noble fire-attributed king among the nine-level high-level magic beasts, finally revealed its hidden and peerless power. It was not only the overlord of this continent, but also the embodiment of the laws of nature. Each of its magic contained energy that was enough to subvert common sense.

The "Flame Storm" dragon spread its wings, like opening two doors of fire that covered the sky and the sun. A storm filled with a will to destroy burst out from under its wings, and the flames raged like a tornado, wanting to devour everything.

But in the center of the storm, Lu Ming's figure was as solid as a rock.

He swung the Sky-Devouring Demon Sword, and wherever the sword went, the void shook. Circles of pitch-black magic ripples spread out, absorbing everything like a black hole. The flames in the storm were swallowed up one by one, and finally returned to calm.

The claws of the "Lava Hell" dragon lightly touched the ground, causing the ground to tremble. Boiling magma gushed out of the cracks, forming a lava ocean in an instant. The boiling magma was like the roar of hell, trying to imprison Lu Ming in the sea of ​​death.

However, Lu Ming stepped on the void with a graceful posture, and performed the "Void Step" taught by the Devouring Demon Emperor. His figure jumped lightly on the lava like a ghost, leaving a faint shadow with every step, easily avoiding the erosion of the magma.

"Breath of Fire Dragon" The giant dragon's huge mouth opened like the gate of hell, and a flame ray tens of meters long gushed out. The high temperature contained in the ray was enough to melt gold and iron, and the destructive energy caused the air to distort.

Facing this devastating attack, Lu Ming closed his eyes slightly, formed complex seals with his hands, and chanted ancient spells. A huge shield made of dark elements condensed and took shape in front of him.

Mysterious runes flowed on the surface of the shield, beating as if it had life, completely isolating the breath of the fire dragon, and not even a trace of residual heat could touch the corner of Lu Ming's clothes.

In this series of confrontations, Lu Ming relied on his powerful cultivation in the Demon Pill Realm and the secret magical powers taught by the Devouring Demon Emperor to resolve the dragon's attacks one by one.

As the battle continued, the dragon gradually realized that the human in front of him was no ordinary person and his strength had exceeded the dragon's initial predictions.

Each of Lu Ming's counterattacks was precise and deadly, leaving more and more scars on the dragon's scales.

Finally, Lu Ming seized a flaw of the giant dragon. He approached the giant dragon at lightning speed, and the Heaven-Devouring Demon Sword drew a perfect trajectory in the air, with the tip of the sword pointing directly at the heart of the giant dragon.

Seeing that there was no escape, the giant dragon finally lowered its noble head, let out a wail, admitted defeat and expressed its willingness to recognize Lu Ming as its master.

"Human, you win." The dragon's voice was filled with reluctance, but also revealed a hint of respect. "I, Yan Jin, am willing to hand over all my treasures, submit to you, and become your mount and partner."

Faced with Yan Jin's plea for mercy and surrender, Lu Ming put away the magic sword.

For a level nine advanced magical beast comparable to a great magician, it will be a powerful aid and helper that no one will ignore.

In the end, the two signed a contract and Lu Ming became the master of the giant dragon Yan Jin.

Yan Jin, the giant dragon that once looked down upon the world, now willingly kneeled before Lu Ming and swore allegiance. This scene was rarely seen in the long river of countless years.

Yan Jin took out a magic space ring inlaid with dazzling gems from its treasure and handed it to Lu Ming solemnly. Its voice was low and solemn: "These are the treasures I have collected over the years. Now, they belong to you, my master."

This ring is not just an ornament. The space inside it stores the dragon's treasures over the years - from gold coins and low-level magic equipment seized from adventurers to rare minerals and precious magic plants discovered deep in the Warcraft Mountains. Each item carries a story and a value.

However, to Lu Ming, these riches were nothing but passing clouds.

His vision has long transcended the limits of material things, pursuing higher levels of power and knowledge.

Therefore, Lu Ming took the ring and felt the huge energy and historical accumulation contained in it, but he did not check it immediately. Instead, he responded calmly: "Yan Jin, I don't desire endless wealth. The relationship between us is not a simple master and servant, but a partnership based on mutual respect and understanding."

A hint of surprise flashed across Yan Jin's eyes, and then turned into deep respect: "I have never seen a human like you, Lu Ming. You are completely different from those adventurers who only know how to plunder. I thought I would lose everything..."

Lu Ming smiled slightly. He picked out a few items that he really needed, and then handed the ring back to Yan Jin: "These treasures may have special meanings to you. I only need resources that can help me grow. As for the rest, I hope you can keep them as a testimony of our friendship."

Yan Jin took the ring, his voice full of disbelief: "You...you really do this?"

"Of course," Lu Ming said frankly, "Power should not only be used to seize, but also to protect and create."

Yan Jin took a deep breath, and a strange light flashed in his eyes: "Lu Ming, you have not only won my loyalty, but also my respect. From now on, no matter where you go, I, Yan Jin, will be by your side."

Lu Ming nodded and smiled, "Yan Jin, I'm glad to have a partner like you. However, we need to get to know each other better first."

As Lu Ming and Yan Jin returned to the depths of the volcano, they found a relatively quiet corner to sit down and began an in-depth conversation.

Lu Ming asked about Yan Jin's past and why he lived here alone.

Yan Jin's eyes dimmed, and he slowly told his story: "I was born into a branch of the dragon clan. Because my bloodline was not pure enough, I was excluded from the other dragon clans and expelled from the clan since I was a child."

Lu Ming listened quietly, and he felt the same way about Yan Jin's experience. He comforted him, "Yan Jin, your experience is indeed sad, but loneliness can sometimes make people grow. From now on, I will be your relative."

Upon hearing this, Yan Jin's eyes lit up with hope again: "Thank you, Lu Ming. I always thought that being abandoned by the tribe meant eternal loneliness. But now, I have you, my master."

Lu Ming smiled and said, "Friend, I like this word. But Yan Jin, there is one thing we need to think about clearly."

"Although you are a ninth-level high-level magical beast and have the noble blood of the dragon clan, you have not yet reached the holy realm, which means that your body shape cannot change at will."

"It's okay in the Monster Mountain Range, but when I return to human society, I don't like to be too conspicuous."

"If we were to act together, your large size might cause unnecessary trouble."

Yan Jin's expression became a little lost: "I know, this is indeed a problem."

Lu Ming patted Yan Jin's paw and said, "So for now, I suggest you stay here. The volcano is your home and your safe haven. I will come back to visit you regularly."

"When you break through the Saint Realm and your body can become smaller, I will take you away."

"Otherwise, if a level nine high-level dragon follows me, it will attract the attention of many forces and powerful people."

"I'm not afraid, but I don't like to be too high-profile either."

Yan Jin nodded. Although he was reluctant, his mind told him that this was the best option at the moment. He lowered his huge dragon head and gently nudged Lu Ming: "Okay, Lu Ming, I'll listen to you. But you have to remember that there is always a friend waiting for you here."

Lu Ming stood up, dusted himself off, and said to Yan Jin with a smile, "Don't worry, Yan Jin, I will be back. Our story has just begun, let's walk the road ahead together."

After saying that, Lu Ming turned and left the volcano.

Yan Jin watched his back gradually disappear from his sight, feeling both reluctant and expectant.

In addition, before leaving, Lu Ming told him not to disturb the elves and dwarves again.

Because these two races have reached cooperation with Lu Ming.

Yan Jin readily agreed.
