Is It Funny That The Dragon Slayer Failed And Became The Dragon Princess?

140. Xia Yi’s Solo Mission (4k)

Humans are actually a Superior Race?

Xia Yi thought she had misread it.

So she raised her hand, rubbed her eyes, and read the sentence again.

“The Fifth Superior Race King, the Human King, wielding the Holy Sword and bearing the Holy Spear, engaged in a bloody battle with the Dragon King.”

Still no change. The light emanating from above was resonating with the Holy Sword.

“How incredible,” Xia Yi couldn’t help but sigh.

She used to be human, so she was quite familiar with human history.

Among the dragons, no one understood humans better than Xia Yi.

It wouldn’t be an exaggeration to call her a human expert!

In her understanding, humans had nothing to do with the Superior Races at all. The gap in strength was too vast.

Superior Races referred to races with immense power, towering above other ordinary races.

This could not be judged solely by the upper limit of the top powerhouses, but also by the lower limit of the race.

For example, if you took two ordinary adults from two races who had grown up normally without any special training and had them fight each other.

If an adult human male were to fight an adult dragon male…

Ugh.

Just imagining this scene made Xia Yi feel it would be tragic.

There was just no way in the face of a Superior Race. They wouldn’t even be able to resist and would only be subjected to a one-sided slaughter.

Let alone dragons, even other Superior Races wouldn’t stand a chance.

Not to mention the upper limit.

Undoubtedly, judging the human race as a whole in the current era, they indeed cannot be called a Superior Race.

Even in the early history of the Ancient Era, during the Dragon War, there were no records of humans being a Superior Race.

“It seems there are many secrets in the Mythical Era,” Xia Yi was a bit puzzled. “Were humans in the Mythical Era really that powerful? Able to contend with the Dragon King of the Mythical Era.”

Xia Yi deciphered the records behind the stone tablet.

The general content was that after a battle, the Dragon King defeated the Human King, and the Human King retreated.

But it definitely wasn’t the kind of pure overwhelming victory. It was a contest between opponents of the same level.

It certainly wasn’t as exaggeratedly disparate as when she challenged Xia Lulu before…

Ahem!

Xia Yi quickly stopped her association, feeling a little embarrassed herself.

“This is the ancestor’s stone tablet, and it’s mainly about things related to dragon habits. There are only a few records about the human race in the Mythical Era.”

In fact, there weren’t particularly many important historical records throughout.

It was mostly about how powerful the ancestors were, having fought against all the kings of the Superior Races, with only one draw and victories in all other battles.

After all, it was a temple built to commemorate the ancestors, so the flattery had to be maxed out!

Unfortunately, there was too little information about the Mythical Era. Most of it was just stories passed down, told to children as bedtime stories, which can hardly be used as historical references.

As for that Human King who wielded the Holy Sword and carried the Holy Spear on his back… For Xia Yi, it was a complete mystery.

Buzz buzz buzz!

The Holy Sword flashed a couple more times.

Xia Yi raised the Holy Sword, first blinking her eyes, and then a joyful smile bloomed on her face.

“Old friend, you’re actually this amazing!!”

She was very surprised.

Now she understood why the Holy Sword became so excited and aggressive upon seeing the ancestor’s statue. It turned out they were opponents who had fought before.

“You actually existed in the Mythical Era and were even the Human King’s weapon, able to fight evenly with the Dragon King of that time!”

Buzz—

Judging by the fluctuations of the Holy Sword’s glow, it seemed happy.

As if it was saying—

“Am I amazing or what? Praise me more!”

Xia Yi finally realized that the Holy Sword had guided her to this temple to show off its glorious past.

And indeed.

Although in the current era, not only humans but also other races knew the Holy Sword was powerful, and in past history, there had been human heroes who broke through the limits of ordinary races with the Holy Sword.

But who would have thought that the Holy Sword, which had already proven its worth, had actually broken through the sky long ago!

Back then, the Human King was able to fight against the ancestor. The Holy Sword must have played a part in that.

At the same time, Xia Yi also felt a bit disappointed.

In the past, the Holy Sword was a weapon capable of contending against the Dragon King of the Mythical Era, but in her hands, it was…

Buzz buzz!

The Holy Sword lit up a couple more times.

Although Xia Yi didn’t know if the Holy Sword was encouraging her… But when she thought that even though there was such an exaggerated gap between her and its previous wielder, the Holy Sword was still willing to respond to her summons and acknowledge her identity as the Sword Bearer, she felt a bit moved.

In the past, she had also experienced many failures, but in the end, she always got back up.

Therefore, Xia Yi wouldn’t be discouraged. Now that she knew the Holy Sword’s true strength, she had already made up her mind to climb towards even higher peaks.

This was the tenacious and unyielding Human Sword Saint!

“Holy Sword, I will definitely work hard and strive. In the future, I will bring you and unleash all your strength, fighting side by side together!”

…

Afterward, Xia Yi circled around the ancestral temple several more times.

Unfortunately, it wasn’t like in novel stories where some treasures or rare items were buried for her to gain. This place was purely a temple built to commemorate the ancestors.

Apart from the records about the Mythical Era on those stone tablets being of some value, there was nothing else exciting to discover.

However, if she had to say, Xia Yi did notice some peculiar situations.

Inside the temple, there was actually a… No, strictly speaking, it was two overlapping giant magic arrays.

And at the center of the formations is the ancestor’s statue.

Fortunately, Xia Yi had desperately stopped the Holy Sword earlier and didn’t let it touch the ancestor’s statue. Otherwise, it would have caused a huge mess.

Xia Yi observed the magic arrays and judged their magical properties based on what she had learned in her magic classes.

“The first layer of the magic array and the second layer were added at different times. The second layer was added later.”

She discovered that the functions of these two layers were different.

The first layer of the magic array, inscribed with ancient Dragon Language.

This was magic laid down in the Mythical Era.

Its main functions were not complicated. It was to provide the central part of the temple near the ancestor’s statue with protection against corrosion, dust removal, and crystallization.

As for the principles, Xia Yi didn’t quite understand.

But that wasn’t important. What was important is the second layer of the magic array.

The second layer used the Dragon Language and was definitely not added in the Mythical Era but by later generations of dragons.

“Ugh… I don’t understand! This magic is a bit too profound for me!” Xia Yi held her head.

She regretted slacking off in Gran’s magic classes.

She couldn’t understand the meaning of the second layer of the magic array added by later generations of dragons at all.

The effects were unknown, the scope was unknown, and there was even the most complex spatial magic.

The only thing that could be discerned was that the second layer of the magic array was covered with a layer of Dragon King’s Pressure. This should have been laid down by a certain generation’s Dragon King… If someone were to enter the temple, it would activate on its own. Perhaps someone didn’t want others to approach this place.

Spatial magic was millions of times more complicated than elemental magic. A slight variation could cause complex, disorderly, and uncontrollable changes in space.

For example, with teleportation magic, if a beginner wasn’t proficient and made a slight mistake, they might end up as a pile of flesh paste at the destination after teleporting.

At least this was not a field Xia Yi could set foot in yet.

“If only Sera were still by my side, it would be great. She’s stronger than me… and more accomplished in magic. She would definitely be able to figure out something.”

Xia Yi felt a bit regretful.

That’s all there is inside the temple now.

It can’t be said to be completely without gain, but it’s just not in line with the initial expectations.

“So this is the mission Xia Lulu entrusted me with. I feel like if it’s just this, it won’t be satisfactory.”

Xia Yi also noticed one thing. There was still one question left unanswered.

The calamity in the Earth’s Memory and why the Great Sea of Trees was a forbidden zone for life still hadn’t been answered.

She felt like she had only touched the surface, and the truth was still shrouded in a fog.

“Forget it. I’ll go find Sera first! After I tell Sera about what happened here, I’ll make plans… By then, I’ll have her take a look at the magic arrays. Maybe there will be new discoveries!”

Xia Yi thought about it, she still had to go find her.

In any case, the Holy Sword could respond to the stone tablets and the ancestor’s statue… so she could use this to navigate back to the ancestor’s temple… In this way, she wouldn’t get lost in this sea of trees.

“Ancestor, I’m leaving for now. Next time I come back, I’ll… try to bring you some offerings!”

After bidding farewell to the ancestor, Xia Yi prepared to leave the temple.

However, the moment she stepped out of the temple’s main gate, the space suddenly became chaotic. Even though she was on flat ground, she felt the world turning upside down, losing her sense of space, unable to distinguish up from down, left from right.

The surroundings became blurry as if a false shell was constantly peeling away, revealing the true world before her.

Time was stretched out. A second felt as long as ten minutes.

Who knew how long had passed before Xia Yi shook her head, and her vision gradually returned to normal. The chaotic sense of space slowly dissipated as if everything had returned to its proper course.

A strange feeling welled up in her heart as she raised her head.

In the blood-red sky was a dim sun. On the gray earth, there were countless dragon bones piled up between the mountains and valleys. Visible ashes floated all over the air, along with curses.

The curses of the dragons, anger, unwillingness, resentment… soaking into every corner of the land.

Even Xia Yi, who possessed the bloodline of the Royal Silver Dragon Family, felt uncomfortable at this moment.

This place was no longer the tranquil green Great Sea of Trees.

Such a tragic world was exactly the same as the past images she had seen in the Great Sea of Trees.

“Where am I?”

Xia Yi turned around.

The ancestor’s temple was still there as if it had never moved.

She turned back and crossed the threshold, returning to the ancestor’s temple. After waiting for a while, she came out again, and the world before her eyes still hadn’t changed at all, and she didn’t experience the earlier sense of disorder again.

“What exactly happened?” Xia Yi cried with a sad face, “Did I just make the ancestor angry and he is punishing me? Wuuuah!”

The little princess ran to apologize to the ancestor’s statue, but suddenly, as if she thought of something, she ran over to the magic array to check.

It had changed.

The first layer, the magic array from the Mythical Era, remained unchanged.

But the second layer, the magic array added later, had changed!

The changes in the language were related to space.

Although with Xia Yi’s magical abilities, she couldn’t determine the specific content of the changes… But this was a clue that connected everything together.

“This is…”

Xia Yi was stunned on the spot, feeling a chill down her spine.

“Great Sea of Trees.”

“Forbidden Zone of Life.”

“Earth’s Memory.”

“Calamity.”

“Ancestor’s Temple.”

“Royal Bloodline.”

“Spatial Array.”

“The True World.”

She kept reciting what was on her mind and once again set foot on the land outside, feeling the fog shrouding the interior of the Great Sea of Trees becoming clearer.

It turned out that the area before Xia Yi at this moment was the true southern border.

In the past, a certain generation’s Dragon King had used the ancestral temple as the base to lay down the second layer of the magic array, creating a false surface layer and concealing the true space.

This was the Great Sea of Trees.

That was why the Great Sea of Trees was a forbidden zone for life. Its purpose was to hide the truth under falsehood and block all invaders who wanted to approach the true land.

Dragons who rashly entered would never return until they died.

The only way to enter the true space was through the base of the spatial magic, the temple.

Perhaps it was in consideration of this that the Dragon King’s Pressure was set as a test. Only dragons with royal blood could enter the true space.

In the Earth’s Memory, the calamity had occurred right here!

Xia Yi gradually realized that the special secret realm was not referring to the Great Sea of Trees but this hidden land of calamity.

“But why did that generation’s Dragon King do this in the distant past, and it wasn’t even recorded in history? What terrible calamity happened here that necessitated concealing it to this extent, turning it into a forbidden land…”

Xia Yi whispered to herself.

In the next second, a wind blew through the valley.

The wind carried an extremely terrifying aura, spreading in all directions… Just by brushing past, it turned all the dragon bones in the valley into powder, and even the extremely viscous dragon curses were dispersed into nothingness by the wind.

This was an absolute power that surpassed the Superior Races.

Xia Yi was stunned on the spot. Out of the biological instinct to seek benefits and avoid harm, she actively chose to retreat, and the thought of running away even arose in her mind.

This feeling reminded her of the endless terror she had encountered once before in the depths of the Golde Sea.

It was the remnant of the Old World, a Legendary Beast.
