Chapter 1009: Chapter 109: The Legend of the Dragon Knight
After careful consideration, the Sky Dragon decided to hold talks with the Sky Horse Clan, since he himself had been a Sky Horse and was originally a high-level member of the Sky Horse Clan. Eventually, the Sky Horse Clan agreed to make peace due to the strength of the Sky Dragon, who renamed one of the Twin Sky Horse Stars to Sky Dragon Planet. However, they demanded that no members of the Dragon Clan were to enter the Sky Horse Star. Both parties formed an alliance to jointly govern the Dragon Horse Galaxy, formerly the Sky Horse Galaxy.
This Sky Dragon was the same who nearly killed Lan Xuanyu and forced Nana into the constant star’s magma.
The current head of the Sky Horse Clan was somewhat younger than the Sky Dragon. After enduring great pain, the Sky Horse Clan had consolidated its strength and ultimately nurtured another Super God-Level powerhouse capable of contending with the Sky Dragon. This stabilized the Twin Divine Planets completely, leading to their current state.
Technological advancement came alongside the scientific progress of other species in the Dragon Horse Galaxy, accelerated by the powerful threat from the Douluo Federation’s burgeoning Cosmic Fleet.
Both the Sky Dragon and the Sky Horse realized that with the resources of the Twin Divine Planets, they would inevitably catch up technologically, but all these would take time.
This is a brief history of these two capital planets. The dragons don’t seem like true dragons to Lan Xuanyu and his group, but within the Dragon Horse Galaxy, they are considered powerful members of the Dragon Clan. Some of the top dragons could even battle in space, no less formidable than warships.
Thus, in Sky Dragon Planet, the Dragon Clan possesses significant privileges, being the highest-level species there. Of course, the true Dragon Clan is at the pinnacle of the hierarchy. The true Dragon Clan is few in number, only a few hundred, but each one is a strong individual.
This historical account was extremely important for Lan Xuanyu and his friends, providing detailed insights into Sky Dragon Planet and Sky Horse Star, and making their future actions on these planets much easier.
For now, the absence of the Sky Dragon meant they were relatively safe. This massive planet was not as heavily guarded as No.76 Planet. With the Treasure Hunting Beast’s ability to hide, they could leave whenever they wanted.
Besides historical data, during their library visit, they also found something valuable: a map of Sky Dragon Planet.
Even when viewed from space, it was difficult to discern the full scope of this huge planet, but with a map it was different.
Opening the map, everyone studied it carefully. There were thirteen cities on Sky Dragon Planet, each a massive city occupying extensive areas. The most famous was naturally the capital, Sky Dragon City, which also housed the Gate of Gods. By paying a fee, races from across the Dragon Horse Galaxy could pass through the Gate of Gods, except for the Dragon Clan.
This was a rule established long ago, preventing the Dragon Clan from entering Sky Horse Star. The reason was simple: there was a concern that another Dragon Transformation might occur on the Sky Horse Star.
Should Sky Horse Star experience a Dragon Transformation, the Dragon Clan would become too powerful, and Sky Horse Star would risk being overthrown. Thus, aside from those of the Sky Horse Clan who bore the Sky Dragon bloodline, regular members of the Dragon Clan were not permitted to pass through the Gate of Gods.
From history, Lan Xuanyu and his friends also learned that there was a powerful legion on Sky Dragon Planet that had never appeared in war with the Douluo Federation, known as the Dragon Knight Legion. There were currently only eighteen Dragon Knights, each one a God Rank powerhouse.
They could transform into humanoid form and ride dragons during combat directly in space. This was the ultimate core fighting strength of the Sky Dragon Clan, the top tier.
At the head of these eighteen Dragon Knights was the Sky Dragon himself. Obviously, this force was incredibly powerful. Indisputably, this was the ultimate power on Sky Dragon Planet, surpassing all their warships in strength.
As for whether the Sky Horse Clan possessed such ultimate power was unknown.
Lan Xuanyu and his group were currently in a city known as Fenglong City. Famous for its rich resources, especially mineral resources, it was an important resource and heavy industry city on Sky Dragon Planet. Many resources for the warships currently built on Sky Dragon Planet came from here. Not only mined directly but also traded by other major races in the Dragon Horse Galaxy.
Lan Xuanyu, of course, would not choose to go to Sky Dragon City now. Although the Sky Dragon was not present, there were undoubtedly many God Rank powerhouses in Sky Dragon City, such as the powerful Dragon Knights. With their current strength, they were not yet qualified to challenge the Dragon Knights.
Fenglong City actually was a fine choice, as it was rich in resources, and that is precisely what Lan Xuanyu and his team had come for.
He had never considered unleashing another “Anger of the Dragon” on Sky Dragon Planet. That wouldn’t be wise. Not to mention, if he ruined the negotiations, even the federation wouldn’t forgive him!
This stealth mission had several objectives for Lan Xuanyu, gathering resources being one of them. Although it wasn’t the most important, it was still significant for gaining benefits.
They carefully packed away historical documents and maps, which were extremely valuable to the federation and represented substantial military achievements for them. With these items, their mission could already be considered quite successful.
However, Lan Xuanyu still had more pressing matters to attend to, some of which had to be done regardless of military honors.
“Let’s go to the Mineral Trade Center,” Lan Xuanyu told his companions.
When the seven of them stepped back onto the streets, the Treasure Hunting Beast had already disguised them to prevent them from being caught as thieves.
The Mineral Trade Center in Fenglong City was an extremely important place, thus located right in the city center. The city was so vast, and since they were uncertain how to use the local transport, Lan Xuanyu and his team had no choice but to walk.
A day on Sky Dragon Planet equaled thirty-nine hours on Douluo Planet. Both day and night were considerably longer. They had walked briskly for nearly three hours before they finally saw their destination.
The Fenglong City Mineral Trade Center was a huge domed building. The structure towered three hundred meters high—indeed, three hundred meters. It goes without saying that Sky Dragon Planet had exceptionally talented builders. Such a massive structure couldn’t be found anywhere in the Douluo Federation.
The area spanned over two square kilometers, centered around a colossal dome, surrounded by several additional buildings.
The massive entrance was large enough for members of the Dragon Clan to pass through.
There were no guards at the door, indicating a very relaxed security, or rather, perhaps no need for guards at all.
Among the many races present, Lan Xuanyu and his team were unremarkable; the Blue Sea Tribe were in abundance.
Entering the vast doors of the Mineral Trade Center, all seven couldn’t help but be astounded. Suspended at the top of the enormous hall, was a sculpture. Utterly floating, no one could understand how. It was unmistakably a Sky Dragon.
A dragon’s head and horse’s body, twelve legs, and enormous wings spread wide, the body covered with crimson scales. Even though it was just a sculpture, one could feel a terrifying aura emanating from it.
Not only Lan Xuanyu and his team looked up to see the Sky Dragon, but many traders from the Dragon Horse Galaxy also did the same. When they saw the Sky Dragon, a collective reverence was evident, underscoring its esteemed status in the Sky Dragon Planet.
Lan Xuanyu quickly meshed with the crowds, as they needed the Treasure Hunting Beast to continuously disguise them, meaning they couldn’t stray too far from each other or risk exposure. The Treasure Hunting Beast was also preoccupied suppressing the scent of the Void Bug on Little Lazy Bug, so it couldn’t fully focus on their disguises.
Lan Xuanyu’s eyes slightly narrowed as he turned his head and whispered something to Tang Yuge.
Tang Yuge nodded in response.
