At this moment, the Black Dragon King looked extremely miserable, his entire left eye socket almost destroyed. A dark red blood, approaching black, gushed out like water, but unlike before, this time his wound showed no sign of healing.

The pain coming from the wound made the Black Dragon King, upon waking up, experience despair for the first time.

He hadn't felt this deep-rooted pain since the ancient battle, which ended with him being sealed away by the combined efforts of the Dragon Gods. Even though he had barely held on for several days and nights before finally being sealed away due to exhaustion and carelessness, the Dragon Gods had paid a hefty price for it.

But now, after being ruthlessly beaten by Green for a few minutes, he thought he would be able to hold on until Green was exhausted, relying on his immortal body. However, he did not expect that Green would somehow manage to truly wound him.

But soon, it dawned on him. Everything, all of it, had to do with Yuzuriha. Although he hadn't seen the way Green attacked before, there was no doubt that it was related to the energy projectiles Yuzuriha shot at Green. Otherwise, with the destructive power of that energy, it would have been impossible to cause substantial harm to him.

After realizing this, the Black Dragon King had decided that his primary target to eliminate would be Yuzuriha. He had also sensed that his wound had not completely lost its healing ability, just that it was much slower compared to before. As long as he could get rid of Yuzuriha and allow enough time to pass, victory would undoubtedly be his.

But just as he was thinking this, a blade of light pierced through his already rotting left eye from Green's hand, ripping through his skull. The searing pain almost made him lose consciousness.

"Hey, even in this situation, do you still dare to have those petty thoughts?" Green taunted casually. Then, with a wave of his arm, the blade of light directly slashed across the Black Dragon King's left face and quickly severed half of his black wings.

The Black Dragon King, who had been hovering in the air, now teetered and started falling. Green sneered. Besides continuously releasing his useless aura, the Black Dragon King couldn't do anything. But Green had no trace of mercy. After witnessing the Black Dragon King's terrifying healing ability, Green had decided to silence him.

"Perhaps you could have conquered this world in the past, but unfortunately, you encountered someone like me, who doesn't belong to this world."

Hearing Green's words, the Black Dragon King's pupils suddenly contracted, but in the next moment, Green didn't give him any chance. Lifting up the blade of light, he struck the Black Dragon King's body hundreds and thousands of times.

The Black Dragon King only saw countless flashes before the blade of light finally struck, and his narrow field of vision was completely engulfed in darkness.

"Spurt--"

A burst of scorching black blood sprayed out from the line dividing the Black Dragon King's body, and then it neatly split in two.

Green let out a long breath. The blade of light extending from his arm began to dissolve gradually, turning into specks of light, dispersing completely in the air. The Black Dragon King's bisected body also transformed into numerous large and small black meat pieces, which fell to the ground. If one were to observe closely, they would notice a faint black mist emanating from them.

"Yuzuriha, it's up to you from now on," Green called from a distance. Yuzuriha nodded after hearing him and stepped towards the slowly moving black meat pieces, which were attempting to restore their original form. She reached out her hand and began to gather the power of the Dragon Gods within her.

But at that moment, Green suddenly raised an eyebrow and thought of something.

"Wait a moment, I suddenly remembered that this guy still has some use. Let's not completely destroy him for now."

Yuzuriha was about to launch the gathered power of the Dragon Gods, but she noticed that Green had appeared beside her at some point and grabbed her wrist, causing the gathered power to dissipate. Yuzuriha didn't say anything and instead looked at Green with a puzzled expression.

Ophelia, who was beside them, shared the same confusion.

"Lord Green... What are you planning to do?"

I witnessed the entire battle with my own eyes, and Orville dared not show any disrespect towards Green, let alone considering how close Green is with Yuzuriha, the heir of the Dragon God.

"It's nothing, I just suddenly thought that this guy might still be useful. Yuzuriha, do you remember why we came here in the first place?"

"Um... to find the scales of the Silver Dragon?"

"Yes, exactly. But the powerful vitality shown by this guy has given me a new idea. I'm thinking, if I use your power after some processing, can we absorb his extraordinary regenerative abilities for ourselves?"

"...!"

Yuzuriha did not expect such a bold idea from Green, and Orville was equally astonished. They marveled at how daring Green was, to have such thoughts in the face of such a powerful enemy.

Thinking about the identity of the Black Dragon King, Orville felt a strange sensation.

A mighty Black Dragon King, ending up in such a miserable state, it's truly frustrating.

Especially the conversation between the two of them, it made Orville exclaim in disbelief. It was bad enough that they had beaten the dragon to such a state, but now they were planning to do even more outrageous things to him.

Is this still human?

However, no matter what Orville thought, Green was unfazed. After all, they had come here without a clear purpose, or rather, Green rarely did anything with a clear purpose.

Not only did Yuzuriha gain the power of the Dragon God at this moment, but she also unexpectedly received news of Azeral's death from the Black Dragon King himself. It was truly an unexpected surprise, one that Green had not foreseen.

Thinking about it, the final outcome for the two of them seemed to be somewhat equivalent.

After silently sighing, Green watched as Yuzuriha used her divine power to seal the flesh of the Black Dragon King, while Green attentively observed from the side.

Soon, Green discovered the mystery of this power. It was not just the source energy that was raw and powerful; it had a low limit but a high ceiling.

And in Yuzuriha's hands, this energy was used effortlessly and smoothly.

The dark aura emanating from the flesh gradually dissipated at a visible speed, replaced by a faint golden energy. The strong life force exuding from the flesh weakened as well.

Speaking of this, it is necessary to mention Mio.

Mio's magical power was already very close to nature, so just being near her would give one a refreshing feeling, as if bathed in a gentle breeze. This was because Mio's magical power contained a strong vitality.

But the Black Dragon King was different. Although it also had an extremely dense life force, even surpassing Mio's by several times, after inhaling a breath of it, there was a suffocating and hazy sensation.

However, after learning that this power came from Azeral and granted him immortality, Green was relieved.

Soon, under Yuzuriha's control, the flesh ceased all movement, but Green knew that the Black Dragon King was not completely dead. Yuzuriha's inherited Dragon God power only sealed him temporarily.

But this was exactly the result Green wanted.

If they could study and utilize the life force contained within the Black Dragon King's body, wouldn't the Black Dragon King become a perpetual motion machine, constantly providing life force?

It was no different from being alive or dead.

Or even worse than death.

The Black Dragon King could naturally sense the anomaly in his own body. He wanted to regain his physical form, but Yuzuriha's Dragon God power kept him immobilized.

Soon, he gave up struggling.

If everything went as expected, he might forever live in this state.

Forever.

...

As per Orville's message, Karenovsky quickly returned to the Holy Sanctuary with a group of dragon clan members. The people on the ground watched as the dragon horde departed, feeling deeply moved.

At the same time, some astute magicians were surprised to find that after the departure of the dragon horde, the natural energy in this area became even denser.

In fact, the visible manifestation was that the vegetation previously destroyed by the black dragons was now growing bit by bit at a visible speed. Just taking a breath made people feel a comfortable and refreshing sensation.

"Are those dragons appearing to compensate for the previous actions of the Black Dragon? It seems that our understanding of the dragon clan is still too limited..."

With the return of the dragon group, the sanctuary was restored to its original appearance.

At this time, Green and Ophir walked side by side, preparing to send the two of them away from this place. Karelnevsky also rushed over to the sanctuary after returning.

He did not speak to Ophir first, but expressed his gratitude to Green with a respectful gesture.

Green just smiled faintly, accepting the other party's gratitude without asking for any gifts. After all, being able to harvest the body of the Black Dragon King was already a great achievement.

Green didn't know if Freya could combine the so-called potion with the life force of the Black Dragon King. If it could, he would feel much more at ease, at least not having to worry about getting injured in battles in the future.

Of course, this injury does not refer to himself.

The fact that Ophir and Karelnevsky stayed with Green soon caught the attention of other dragons. All the dragons looked at them with curiosity. After all, Ophir was the previous Dragon King, and Karelnevsky was the current Dragon King.

Having the company of two generations of Dragon Kings, how could it not be shocking?

Soon, a silver dragon in the dragon group noticed Green's figure and exclaimed. The dragons around understood what had happened after some questioning, they learned about Green's defeat of the Silver Dragon.

At that moment, among the gazes of the dragon group looking at Green, there was not only curiosity but also admiration and respect.

After watching the two of them gradually disappear, the dragon group returned to their respective territories. Most of the dragon clan was like this. There were rarely any conflicts, and even if there were, they would quickly return to their usual state after resolution.

In no time, Ophir and the two dragons escorted Green to a pond.

This pond was similar to the one they came from. According to Ophir's description, going back through here could avoid many unnecessary troubles. The most important thing was that this pond had the effect of refreshing the mind and relieving fatigue, so they wouldn't feel dizzy after teleportation.

"Thank you for your help this time. My dragon clan will never forget your kindness. If you have any needs, you can come to our Dragon Sanctuary for help anytime. We will do our best to help you solve your problems."

"I don't really need anything, but it's enough that you have this intention. If I have time in the future, I might come and visit your place. It would be great if you could provide some convenient passages then."

"Ahaha..."

Hearing Green's slightly complaining voice, Ophir smiled awkwardly. He had already started to consider how to open a more convenient teleportation passage for Green.

While he was contemplating, Green didn't stay any longer. After saying goodbye, he jumped into the pond with the minced Black Dragon King and left this place, which could be called both the sanctuary and the Dragon Sanctuary.
