Chapter 293 The Nine Trials of the Mysterious Heaven
This practice of eating has continued leisurely for a thousand years.
Throughout these long millennia, it has continuously devoured humanity.
Almost every 150 years, this mysterious and terrifying creature undergoes a rather significant change in its body.
The phenomenon of growing an extra head is like a peculiar mark, imprinted on every stage of its physical transformation.
Each newly grown head seems to be a unique container, carrying a mysterious elemental attribute.
A thousand years have passed like a long river, flowing slowly by.
Over the course of a thousand years, the dragon lizard has been caught in a state of confusion, unable to discern whether it has embarked on the broad road of evolution or trod the muddy path of degeneration.
In the ebb and flow of its body, its limbs grew shorter and shorter, as if being slowly trimmed away by the merciless scissors of time.
In the end, just like leaves falling completely from the branches, they simply disappear entirely.
If we observe it with its original skull as the core, we will find that the left skull corresponds to the elements of fire, water, metal, and essence.
The fire element seemed like an inextinguishable blazing flame burning inside the skull, ready to burst forth at any moment;
The element of water is like a tranquil and deep ocean, containing endless vitality and nourishment;
The element gold is like a cold, hard metal, gleaming with a chilling light;
The essence is very mysterious, like a faint light, concealing some amazing power.
The heads on the right possess the elemental abilities of wood, earth, lightning, and wind.
The element of wood is like a vibrant life force originating from the depths of the earth, nurturing endless life energy;
The earth element is like the heavy earth, solid and stable, giving its body a solid support;
The lightning element is like the surging power of lightning in the sky, roaring with a chilling force;
The element of wind is like a gentle breeze, coming and going freely, full of unpredictable changes.
At this moment, the dragon lizard is like a treasure box filled with elemental power, possessing as many as eight completely different elemental powers.
Driven by a strong desire for revenge or to uncover the truth, the dragon lizard dragged its strange and enormous body across every corner of the continent.
Its eyes were filled with determination and longing, and every step it took seemed to be a questioning of fate.
However, even after searching far and wide, it still could not find the human who was said to have completely wiped out its race.
In that endless wilderness, on those rugged mountains, in those dense forests, it constantly searches for that enemy that may have been buried by time.
Once upon a time, deep within its heart, feelings of frustration, anger, and despair surged forth like a raging tide.
These emotions flowed forth without reservation, like a raging flood, engulfing every thought within them and spreading unimpeded to every part of their mind.
Each brain is like a unique emotional storage box, and based on its own elemental attributes, it permanently preserves a special emotion.
For example, the head of a fire elemental might retain anger, an anger as intense as flames;
The water element's head may retain a sense of frustration, like a body of water obscured by dark clouds, somewhat gloomy and dull;
The heads corresponding to the other elements also each have different emotional connotations.
As time flowed slowly like grains of sand in an hourglass, from the moment the head first grew until 1050, the immense energy gathered from the eight heads seemed to undergo a wondrous chemical reaction.
As if a mysterious magical power had suddenly descended at that moment, the dragon lizard gained a terrifying ability that had never appeared in its previous species—poison.
This poisonous power is like the demonic aura surging from the depths of hell, extremely terrifying.
Even a seemingly insignificant breath releases a gas from its body that is like a veil of death, carrying deadly poison.
With just a slight movement of its body, even a tiny wriggle, it can instantly transform a vibrant piece of land into a black swamp filled with poison and reeking of decay.
At the same time, as the wheel of time slowly turns, the intelligence of each mind is as if being gently wiped and polished by an unseen hand, continuously improving.
However, fate seems to have drawn a strange dividing line here.
After 1050, although the tribal dragon lizard continued to devour more and more humans or soul beasts as before, its soul power level was as if it were being held tightly by an invisible hand, and it would never rise again.
Its eight heads were divided on whether to continue consuming humans.
As the first heads to be born, and the parts least affected by the main brain, these heads were initially as innocent as blank sheets of paper, like infants just awakening from a deep sleep, without any distracting thoughts, simply passively accepting the demands of the main brain.
And so, in that distant past, they devoured humans in large numbers without a second thought.
However, after eating too much, they are also the first of all the creatures in the brain to develop an aversion to human food.
Just like someone who gets tired of eating the same food and loses all appetite.
However, the heads that grew later were like an addiction to eating humans; their desires were insatiable, like a black hole that could never be filled.
Ultimately, it was because of these diametrically opposed opinions, like fire and ice, that a fierce civil war broke out between all the minds, and they started fighting each other.
Even the original poison-attribute head was drawn into the fray, participating in the commotion of trying to break up the fight.
The scene was chaotic, with heads tearing at and colliding with each other, and various elemental forces running rampant out of control. The entire space was filled with chaos and roaring sounds.
The end result was that the right side of his head was enveloped by a sudden wave of sleepiness, and he fell into a deep sleep.
Then, the remaining four heads of the dragon lizard began to resemble a group of ships searching for a harbor in a stormy sea, plotting how to escape this continent filled with painful memories.
Their eyes gleamed with a mixture of hope and determination, but just a few days after the plan was implemented, an unexpected event occurred, like a bolt from the blue.
A man seemed to descend from the heavens, not just from the sky, but as if he had fallen from a mysterious dimension.
His figure was agile and majestic, and he held a golden scepter that shone with dazzling light in his hand, the scepter seemingly engraved with the power of the universe and stars.
He claimed to be the Nine Emperors of Xuantian, and his voice resounded throughout the world like a great bell.
At this moment, the dragon lizard's mental energy flashed through its mind like lightning, and it finally recognized the person in front of it as the one who had slaughtered its entire race.
In an instant, the remaining four heads were like powder kegs that had been lit, surging with an intense desire to annihilate the person in front of them.
The desire erupted like a volcano, fiery and surging. But the opponent wielded divine power from the realm of gods, a power like a supreme rule. Before this person, the four heads were like ants facing a giant, utterly powerless to resist.
However, to the dragon lizard's surprise, the person did not kill them completely as it had expected. Instead, like a mysterious sorcerer, the person made a series of hand gestures.
The fingers moved up and down, as if weaving a mysterious web of fate.
Immediately afterwards, a special magic circle was planted on the nine-headed dragon.
The magic circle shimmered with a strange light, and within that light seemed to lie countless unknown and wondrous powers.
"Hmph! You ate my inheritance gem, then I'll place the inheritance hall on you, waiting for a destined person to activate my Nine Trials of the Mysterious Heaven!"
Xuan Tian Jiu Huang said with a mocking expression, as if the victor was endlessly mocking the loser.
