God's Eyes

Chapter 953 - Cleansing

After a short staring contest with the golden feathered Roc youngling, Jason averted his gaze as a mysterious expression appeared on his face.

Taking a look at the red dragon, who was staring at him with a mixture of impatience and fear, he was not exactly sure how a beast with unbending dignity and pride was supposed to look like this.

He felt that it was a little bit amusing, but at the end of the day, he was fully aware of the fact that his Celestia aura had allowed him to survive the encounter with the fiery red dragon.

On the other hand, Jason was also sure that he would have fled with Jennifer the moment they sensed the slightest danger that would affect them.

Given his gut feeling that nothing would happen, Jason just went straight ahead.

As such, the current situation was quite confusing with a total of six Mythical beasts resting close to Jason and Jennifer.

In fact, what astonished Jason the most was the behavior of the Rocs.

But that was something he couldn't fathom.

Had it been his children in place of the Roc younglings, Jason would have never let them come close to an existence that had almost burned all of them alive.

He couldn't help but feel that this was somewhat wrong, but he refrained from stating his opinion.

Instead, he first inserted a large amount of divine energy inside the female red dragon, tending the wound on her soul, out of which a portion had been torn out.

Several seconds passed, and the dragon issued a painful growl, digging her claws deeper in the ground, only for her eyes to widen when she saw the sudden changes that occurred around Jason and the insides of her body.

Behind Jason, the God's Halo had emerged that was glowing brightly, and further enhancing the Stigma's effect and materialized a faint divine membrane around Jason.

This went unnoticed by Jason, who was fully focused on healing the dragon as droplets of sweat formed on his forehead.

Moments later, the sweat had already perforated, owing to the terrific searing hot heat that was naturally released by the red dragon.

Through the divine energy that entered the dragon's body, the heat around her increased further as her entire being seemed to be nurtured.

Jason didn't plan this, but it was great to know that his divine energy could nurture and invigorate other beings.

Furthermore, it was quite helpful for later when he would be required to heal those around him.

Jason was currently able to sense every single cell in the red dragon's body.

Making use of the detailed pieces of information that he was able to procure, his follow-up mission became quite easy.

Once Jason had inserted a quarter of his entire divine energy, including the portion that had been stored inside the God's Halo, the dragon's vigor returned and the wound of its soul was tended to, at least to some extent.

This gave Jason the confidence that the female dragon would survive whatever awaited her.

"I was able to sense that your entire body has traces of impurities. This should be quite uncommon for a purebred dragon, so I can only assume that it stems from the tree branch you devoured.

However, that shouldn't be a problem. Solaris can help you get rid of it as long as you trust me…

And you will have to trust me if you want to survive. Your condition is much worse than expected!"

To be able to receive someone's unwavering trust was next to impossible in the Era of Cultivation.

This would even be more difficult for beings at the higher stages, wherein every single cultivation treasure was highly sought after.

Thus, the red dragon stared at him for a moment, only to sense his Celestia aura, his stigma, and the God's Halo.

It caused her to question if her dragon core might be what Jason secretly wanted from her.

But after giving this some more thought, she realized that he would have gotten his hands on her dragon core quite easily as long as he waited a few more days.

She would have died by then, after all.

With that in mind, she just nodded her ginormous head before giving him her final approval via voice transmission.

[Go for it!]

In the end, she hardly knew him, and to be precise he had arrived barely an hour ago.

But her sense of judgment told her that he was neither a thug nor a conman.

Even then, the red dragon knew that Jason would demand something from her after he tended to her issues completely.

Given the circumstances of cultivators, everyone sought cultivation resources, and Jason shouldn't be any different.ʀᴇᴀᴅ ʟᴀᴛᴇsᴛ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀᴛ novelenglish.net . Fɪre.net

Thus, using every possible opportunity in order to grow richer was the most important.

The richer one was, the more cultivation resources one could procure.

And with more cultivation resources, it was possible to become stronger.

Everyone knew that strength was the only thing that would make or break someone and she could have used the last ounce of her strength to force Jason to do anything.

However, her gut feeling told her that she might regret it which was why the dragon laid down on the ground.

Lying down in a submissive manner, she gave Jason the highest respect a dragon could give to any kind of other being.

It caused the Rocs to feel that they had witnessed something grand and even Jennifer couldn't help but feel flabbergasted.

'I thought dragons would rather die than kneel to someone!'

Jennifer could feel that the submission was a different one than Jason wanted to see, but his steadfast facial expression was hard to decipher.

As such, she stepped back several meters, giving Jason enough space for everything he wanted to do.

"Don't kill me, even if it will hurt you…thanks!"

With that being said, Jason didn't hesitate a single second as he released Solaris from his soul world before inserting moonlight mana and divine energy inside it.

In a matter of seconds, the palm-sized flame erupted, engulfing the slightly astonished red dragon before it could even react.

He let the flame envelop the dragon tightly for a few more seconds and smiled, knowing that the painful part was just about to begin.

Seeping inside the body of the red dragon-like vapor, the black membrane of Solaris' flames searched for ways to pass through the smallest gaps between its scales.

Jason could only imagine that it was extremely painful as every single spot on the dragon's body was penetrated by flames that increased in temperature, easily crossing the heat which the dragon naturally released.

Owing to this, he bit his lower lip as he perceived how the dragon was twitching, and dug her claws deeper in the soil, causing them to nearly disappear under the earth.

'I hope all of this will be worth it…Solaris should be able to evolve if I get what I want!!'

Knowing that her entire body had to be exposed to the flames in order to neatly expel the impurities she seemed to have accumulated, she prepared herself to face the heat.

Sensing every little change in her body, she clearly knew that the flames were purifying her entire body, searching for the smallest traces of impurities within every single cell of hers.

This took a considerable amount of time as Solaris and Jason worked hard to ensure that they did not miss anything.

The dragon too grew accustomed to the pain of the searing hot flames that were slowly coursing through her body.

As the flames reached her stomach, she only noticed that her former shiny red scales were now covered in a black mass of impurities.

The sheer amount of impurities shocked her.

Thus, even if Jason hadn't said that she would die without his help, seeing the mass of impurities made her believe that this would have been her fate.

The impurities were several times more than what an ordinary dragon ought to possess, and as such, she felt a chill run down her spine.

Now, her earlier perception of Jason had completely changed and she saw him in a new light.

The dragon was not only thankful for his help, but also convinced that she would have to return something to him.

If Jason were to hear her thoughts, he would smile brightly, ignoring the fact that his entire body was slick with sweat.

His toned upper body was clearly visible through the white shirt he was wearing.

It tightly clung to his body, neatly showing every single muscle that seemed to have been carved by an expert sculptor.

Yet, not even Jennifer could admire Jason's appearance right now as she was fully focused on the task Jason was engaged in.

The last droplets of the black reeking mass of impurities had been extracted from the dragon's body quite a while ago.

As such, the current issue was whether Solaris was powerful enough to devour the branch of the Dimitra helios tree or not.

Unfortunately, nothing seemed to happen for several hours, causing Jennifer to be the most worried as she sensed how exhausted Jason appeared.

Yet, just as she thought that Jason would collapse on the ground, Solaris emerged from the fiery red dragon, and burned the black mass of impurities, revealing the majestic existence of a dragon that had regained her full vigor.

After getting up from the ground, the female dragon roamed her eyes through the beings who had been watching her before her gaze settled on Jason, who smiled lightly, giving her a thumbs up.

Having gotten up from the ground, she towered far over Jason.

But instead of being afraid, he could only smile, wondering when it would be time for him to bind an existence such as a dragon.

He wished that the fiery red dragon would become his soulbond, but Jason could already feel that this was not going to happen.

It was not yet time for him to bind a dragon.

Yet, the same could not be said about a different type of beast, causing him to smile lightly as he looked towards the ground on his right side.

But his eyes flicked to the fiery red dragon again who couldn't hide her excitement anymore.

Feeling much mightier than she had been the case even before her soul had been stolen, she couldn't contain her excitement as she lifted her head high in the air.

A thunderous roar reverberated throughout the surrounding area, waking up every single being that had been sleeping.

Even those powerful beings that had been in a century-long hibernation were forcefully woken up as their attention was drawn to a particular direction.

At the same time, the attention of dozens of scouts of various intelligent races had been attracted as they sensed something very specific intermixed in the roar of the dragon, something that should exist within the said majestic existence.

'Divine energy!!'

"Send out a report! It must be him!!"
