Awakening The Gluttony Talent: I Become Stronger By Eating

176 Subduing the Ice Abyss Flood Dragon

Under the federal government’s rule, the military and political arms were separated and the two sides did not interfere with each other. However, there were exceptions, and these concerned those who possessed the Emperor’s Seal of Peace Restoration, whose existence was akin to titular emperors!

These characters rose to power in the early days of the apocalypse. Their talents were incredibly heaven-defying, and the speed of their rise was like a star shooting into the sky, accomplishing monumental achievements for humankind.

Eventually their individual prestige and status grew so big that the federal government bestowed upon them the title of titular emperors, granting them immense power. And that was they were given both military and political authority, with the right to intervene in both the military and political powers.

The time when such a well-spring of titular emperors gushed out was during that Holy War seventy years ago.

!!

During that Holy War, an endless number of geniuses emerged. Many of them had gone on to become the real power holders within the current federal government. These titular emperors were the true geniuses among the geniuses.

After the Holy War, characters of such a level were never born again!

Firstly, the federal government gradually ceased to bestow titles with such overarching authority for security reasons. Secondly, thereafter there were no subsequent geniuses who rose to this height and so no one was qualified to receive this title.

And now, the City Lord of Boulder Rock City actually had the honor to meet one!

“I don’t want to meddle too much in your affairs. Now, send troops immediately to assist Lunan City,” Uncle Fu said in an icy voice.

“Yes, yes! I’ll do it right away.” Fearing that he would lose his head, the City Lord of Boulder Rock City nodded his head frantically like a chick pecking at rice.

Half a day later,

when the City Lord of Northern Chill City learned of the news concerning Boulder Rock City, he was no longer calm and said with great alarm, “What? A Great Grand Master holding the Emperor’s Seal of Peace Restoration ordered Boulder Rock City to send troops?”

And he had just received word that this Great Grand Master was on his way to Northern Chill City. It was clear what he was coming here for.

“It seems that we have to send troops even if we don’t want to.” The face of the City Lord of Northern Chill City suddenly fell.

That was the Emperor’s Seal of Peace Restoration, and it represented an existence that was akin to a titular emperor. If he dared to resist, that Great Grand Master could simply kill him on the spot and no one would dare utter a single word.

Immediately, the City Lord of Northern Chill City mobilized all the guards of Northern Chill City, and announced in a very grandiose manner that he was going to send troops to assist Lunan City. People who had been quite critical of the City Lord of Northern Chill City because of the previous incident, all changed their views at once.

“I told you. How could the City Lord leave them in the lurch? See? Now they are going to support Lunan City.”

“Hopefully, the crisis in Lunan City can be averted and the western region of our Flame Country will be intact!”

The residents of Northern Chill City raised their arms and cheered. Uncle Fu, who happened to arrive at the city just then, saw this scene. He frowned slightly, then shook his head and said with a scornful sneer, “It seems that this City Lord of Northern Chill City is quite capable, compared to that City Lord of Boulder Rock City who is a good-for-nothing.”

Uncle Fu decided not to show his face and turned back at once. He rushed forward in the direction of Lunan City.

Meanwhile, at Lake Ice Abyss.

Lu Yu dived down to the deepest part of the lake. As the water pressure suddenly increased, an icy coldness invaded his body, making his body slightly frozen.

With a gentle shake of his body, the power of the fire-attribute erupted, and this icy coldness was instantly reduced by a lot.

The fleeing Ice Abyss Flood Dragon looked at Lu Yu who was pursuing it relentlessly, and it almost went crazy. This human was simply too despicable. He kept chasing it, but the strength of this human was incredibly powerful, and the Ice Abyss Flood Dragon was not his match.

“Beast, you have no way to escape!” Lu Yu gave a scornful laugh. As the Dragon Blood Battle Saber shot out, another slash struck the Ice Abyss Flood Dragon, causing blood to gush out all over its body.

The Gluttony Talent absorbed more and more blood.

[Ding! Detected that host has absorbed the Ice Abyss Flood Dragon’s blood. Received: Poison Immunity +2200!]

[Ding! Detected that host has absorbed the Ice Abyss Flood Dragon’s blood. Received: Poison Immunity +2100!]

…

Lu Yu absorbed the Ice Abyss Flood Dragon’s blood gleefully. This Flood Dragon’s blood contained extremely powerful poison immunity.

As he continued to absorb, Lu Yu’s Poison Immunity skill gained a tremendous boost. Hell-bent on killing this Ice Abyss Flood Dragon to obtain the maximum amount of poison immunity from its blood, Lu Yu went in hot pursuit.

Forced into a corner, the Ice Abyss Flood Dragon couldn’t take it anymore and retaliated in fury. After more than a minute of fierce battle, a tragic aura erupted and the dragon howled in anguish.

The Ice Abyss Flood Dragon crashed down and sprawled on the ground, whimpering and whining. It sounded like a living person praying for his life.

As if enlightened by a stroke of good luck, Lu Yu understood the Ice Abyss Flood Dragon’s emotions and said in surprise, “You mean you want to submit to me?”

The huge head of the Ice Abyss Flood Dragon knocked on the ground, and the prostrate body trembled, expressing its intention to submit.

“Hah! Fearsome Beasts are ferocious and violent by nature, and it is hard to change their nature. Rather than taking you in, I should kill you!” Lu Yu was thoroughly unforgiving.

There were quite a few cultivators in the federal government who tried taming Fearsome Beasts, but the end result was invariably the master getting killed by the Fearsome Beasts. Lu Yu did not want to raise something by his side which could turn against him anytime.

The Ice Abyss Flood Dragon’s body trembled even more. Suddenly, it roared out loud. Its claw ripped open a wound and suddenly blood gushed out like water. A drop of the Ice Abyss Flood Dragon’s blood fell on Lu Yu’s palm, and instantly dissolved into Lu Yu’s body.

The next moment, Lu Yu suddenly had a sense of connection with the bloodline of this flood dragon. He could decide the life and death of this flood dragon with just a flip of his thought.

A chunk of information appeared in his mind at this moment.

[Law of Blood Contract]

[Introduction: The master-servant contract is concluded with the bloodline as the medium. Once the contract is formed, the party who is in control can decide the life and death of the slave at a thought.]

A puzzled look crept over Lu Yu’s face. This Ice Abyss Flood Dragon seemed very different from other similar species. This one had an intelligence that was ridiculously high. It actually knew how to set up a contract.

Another message which appeared in Lu Yu’s mind gave details about the emotions of the Ice Abyss Flood Dragon. It was expressing submission and reverence, and it was even licking Lu Yu’s finger with his tongue tenderly.

Lu Yu pondered for a while. Moments later, he said, “I can let you be my slave, but you have to obey my three rules.”

“First, no random killing without my order.”

“Second, there must be no disloyalty. If I find out, I will give you a fate worse than death!”

“Third, do not disobey any of my orders!”

Lu Yu elucidated his conditions one by one. The Ice Abyss Flood Dragon seemed to nod its head with intelligence. It seemed to be flattering Lu Yu to the extreme, implying that as long as Lu Yu could let it live, these conditions were not a problem.

Just when the Ice Abyss Flood Dragon was gloating that it had successfully preserved its life, Lu Yu was caught in a difficult position. How could he hide such a huge flood dragon so that no one would find out?

The Ice Abyss Flood Dragon seemed to understand Lu Yu’s thoughts. It gave a loud roar and the body that was sprawled out on the ground suddenly shrank to the size of a finger, like a pet pendant. Then with a whoosh! It wriggled into Lu Yu’s interspatial ring.

Lu Yu was stunned momentarily. He was beginning to suspect that this Ice Abyss Flood Dragon was no Fearsome Beast but a human with normal intelligence.
