Chapter 134 - Dragon Orb


    The Keepers of Forbidden Lore certainly had an extensive history, yet they paled inparison to the Dragon n.


    The Dragon n had been around since ancient times.


    They were known for their penchant for collecting not only exotic treasures but also powerful legacies.


    Ye Hao wasn''t sure if the Small Five Elements Formation was an ancient formation, but he was aware that solving it would be no simple task.


    He weaved through the formation relentlessly.


    Meanwhile, themon dog kept a watchful eye on Ye Hao''s every move.


    Gradually, the operation of the Small Five Elements Formation began to decelerate. Then, with a swift motion, Ye Hao reached into the void.


    Simultaneously, the active Small Five Elements Formation came to an abrupt halt and vanished, leaving Xiao Ming staring in disbelief.


    “You''ve broken the formation?” Xiao Ming eximed.


    Ye Hao revealed his hand, which held five shining crystals.


    “What are these?”


    “Five Elements Crystals, essential for formation crafting,” Ye Hao exined as he stowed the crystals into his Cosmos Bag.


    He had resolved to install the Small Five Elements Formation at his vi once he returned, having previouslycked the necessary materials to do so.


    As they conversed, a door materialized before them.


    Excitement gleamed in themon dog''s eyes upon seeing the door. “Atst, I''ve found it,” it dered.


    “Was your goal to bring us here just to assist you with the formation?” Ye Hao inquired.


    Themon dog nodded, admitting, “I didn''t anticipate your true ability. Since you both aided me in breaking the formation, I will allow you to depart.”


    Upon hearing this, Xiao Ming charged at themon dog, whispering, “Mystic Binding Ritual.”


    As Xiao Ming approached themon dog, he released a golden rune from his mouth. This rune enveloped themon dogpletely. Then, lightning crackled from Xiao Ming''s hand.


    This technique was known as Palm Thunder, a Mystic Binding Ritual.


    But Xiao Ming''s expression quickly turned to one of shock when the Mystic Binding Ritual was effortlessly shredded by themon dog. In the same instant, the dog''s tongue shot out, coating him in a foul-smelling slime.


    Ye Hao was taken aback by the sight.


    “Heavenly Thunder Spell.” With Ye Hao''s growing mastery, the Heavenly Thunder Spell''s might was increasingly formidable. A lightning bolt, as thick as a child''s arm, cleaved through the air and struck themon dog with ferocious intensity.


    Themon dog''s fur bristled instantly as it fixed a cold re on Ye Hao.


    “You''re courting death.”


    With a thunderous explosion, themon dog erupted with boundless power. Like a hurricane, this force unleashed itself chaotically in all directions.


    Xiao Ming copsed to the ground, unconscious as if he were a plummeting kite.


    Ye Hao was in no better shape. He too lost consciousness upon hitting the ground.


    Themon dog pounced,nding in front of Ye Hao. Its ws pinned Ye Hao''s shoulders, its fangs bared, ready to sink into Ye Hao''s neck.


    But as the dog''s fangs barely grazed Ye Hao''s neck, Ye Hao''s eyes snapped open, now filled with an icy chill.


    Themon dog recoiled from its attack. As it met Ye Hao''s gaze, its body shook, as if in the presence of a superior being.


    A roar erupted from Ye Hao''s throat.


    A fearsome force brutally pierced through themon dog''s consciousness sea. It yelped and tumbled backward in agony.


    “Dragon''s Roar,” themon dog observed, staring at Ye Hao who was approaching slowly, its eyes wide with terror.


    It realized it had antagonized someone far beyond its league.


    The issue was, Ye Hao didn''t exhibit any Dragon''s Might. Otherwise, it would never have dared to challenge him.


    “Senior, I meant no disrespect. Please, forgive my transgression,” themon dog pleaded.


    Ye Hao approached themon dog and rasped, “Submit to me, or die.”


    Uncertainty flickered in themon dog''s eyes, but it quickly dered, “I pledge my loyalty to you.”


    “Open your mind.”


    Without hesitation, themon dogplied, leaving its mind vulnerable to Ye Hao''s will.


    Once Ye Hao had imnted the beast control seal within themon dog''s consciousness sea, the dog''s gaze softened into one of reverence and submission.


    Gradually, the iciness in Ye Hao''s eyes melted away, reced by a look of rity and bewilderment.


    As Ye Hao observed themon dog sitting obediently before him, tail wagging, he was taken aback.


    “Master, is something amiss?” themon dog inquired, tongue lolling.


    “Master?” Ye Hao looked at themon dog, somewhat taken aback.


    Just then, Ye Hao suddenly became aware of a new rune within his consciousness sea.


    The beast control seal!


    When Ye Hao activated the beast control seal, themon dog began to roll around frantically.


    “Master, if I''ve done something wrong, please tell me. Just don''t activate the beast control seal!”


    Upon hearing this, Ye Hao ceased using the beast control seal.


    He massaged his temples, feeling somewhat bewildered.


    “Recount everything that just happened,” Ye Hao demanded, fixing his gaze on themon dog.


    Though themon dog didn''t understand why Ye Hao wanted it to repeat the story, it narrated the events truthfully.


    “The Dragon Orb protected me,” Ye Hao realized atst.


    He recalled such a memory from the ck dragon''s legacy.


    With this realization, a shiver of fear ran through him. How fortunate he was to be in this temple; had he unleashed the Dragon''s Might in public, the Three Sects and Six Factions surely would not have spared him.


    “What''s your name?” Ye Hao asked after a moment''s thought.


    “Dog Lord.”


    “From now on, you''ll be known as Cisco,” Ye Hao decided on the spot, renaming themon dog without hesitation.


    A look of utter dejection crossed Cisco''s face.


    “What lies beyond that door?”


    “Treasure.”


    “Don''t give me that,” Ye Hao retorted, pping Cisco.


    With a woeful expression, Cisco replied, “Master, I truly don''t know what''s inside. I only stumbled upon this ce because of the light emanating from it.”


    Ye Hao stroked his chin, pondering for a moment. “Let''s go in and have a look.”


    Naturally, Cisco was the first to enter.


    Ye Hao hade to understand Cisco''s level of cultivation; he possessed the thirdyer of Blood Refining.


    Only a few moments after entering, Cisco came back out.


    “Master, there''s a cave inside.”


    “A cave?” A gleam of excitement shed in Ye Hao''s eyes at the news.
