My Journey to Godhood as a Caterpillar

Chapter 92: Little dragon

The dark dragon's hand was almost upon Yun Jhin's cheek, he could feel the same sensation that he always felt when he was near death, and he didn't like it one bit.

He gritted his teeth as his eyes started to shine, out of his spatial bag a little dragon popped out and went through the dark dragon's incomplete body.

This surprised the dark dragon and his concentration upon Yun Jhin's body faltered, Yun Jhin took a few steps behind making some distance between them as he smiled.

The little dragon looked around with curiosity on his small face when suddenly on his body a bunch of runic formations started to appear, the formations were strange to the point that the dark dragon didn't understand what they meant, his eyes narrowed as he looked at Yun Jhin and said:

"Think you can refine my soul with this failed artificial dragon?"

Yun Jhin gave out a small smile as he did a few hand seals, the dark dragon's eyes widened as he looked at the little dragon where a suction force appeared, Yun Jhin told him slowly:

"I'm not intending to absorb your soul, you already went ahead to the soul composition form and if I absorbed you into my soul palace you would be able to beat my soul out of it and take control of my body, do you think I'm dumb? I have a better proposition for you."

Yun Jhin's aura changed heavily as a rain of blood appeared behind him, the dark dragon's eyes widened as he shouted:

"Yun Jhin of the Blood Throne sect? You finally reincarnated again? And onto my planet?"

Yun Jhin's cultivation technique preceded him, while the duo of dragon brothers was born Yun Jhin was on his death bed, however his reputation was extremely resounding through the whole universe and the brothers were wary of his history of capturing universal wonders so they must have investigated him by a lot.

The dark dragon's soul was slowly getting absorbed by the formation on the little dragon, the dark dragon tried to struggle out of it but he felt weak for some reason, Yun Jhin looked down on him and said:

"Feeling weak aren't we?"

Instead of asking why he was feeling weak the dark dragon tried to control the soul murking formation to attack Yun Jhin but he felt that his connection was quickly slipping away from it from some unknown reason, Yun Jhin chuckled as he looked at the robe of the Emperor which was halfway from the top of the platform and did a quick bow to it then pointed at it:

"You should thank your descendant for that, even though you managed to absorb him he used his last vestiges of soul power to cut the connection of your soul with the formation when he tried to escape, I gave him some of my memories when he tried to scan my soul back then along with my former identity, he bet the future of his Empire on me!"

The dark dragon's eyes widened as only his head remained as the rest of his body was getting sucked into the little dragon's body, he suddenly realized what the formation on the little dragon's body was for and he shouted:

"No, no, no, I don't want to be reborn this way, into such a body, such a weak body...!"

Yun Jhin chuckled as the head disappeared, suddenly the little dragon's closed eyes turned crimson as his whole body became a deep black color, his bloodline was getting enchanted multiple times to the point his body almost enlarged and exploded, he gained a gender along with the soul as he became a living being and not a weapon anymore.

The little dragon gave out a small roar as he launched himself at Yun Jhin while cursing:

"You damn mother*****, I didn't want such a trashy body, Yun Jhin from the Blood Throne sect, let's see what you got in this life you piece of ****."

The dragon had quite a mouth on him, Yun Jhin couldn't absorb or fight his soul or else there was a chance for him to hijack his body, but he could easily protect himself from his soul attacks if his soul was bound to a body, which wasn't his, after all, his soul willpower and energy got locked to the body's cultivation base as it became fragmented, he wasn't even as 20% as strong as when he was just a soul!

Yun Jhin watched as the little dragon launched himself at him only for him to easily grab him by the tail and smash him into the dark jade below him, the little dragon spurted a mouthful of blood as he cursed Yun Jhin with the same fervor as before while trying to escape.

However the little dragon's body was modified personally by Yun Jhin so he could easily control it, the dark dragon would need some time of adjusting and working through his internal organs before Yun Jhin's control over his body would disappear.

Yun Jhin shook his head as he grasped the little dragon by the skull and told him:

"Luo Shang you should behave yourself, you got a body and revived isn't this what you wanted?"

Luo Shang immediately spits in his face which Yun Jhin easily dodged and said:

"**** your mother you piece of ****"

Yun Jhin was quite speechless, did the years of being into suspended animation turn this man into an idiot who could only swear?

Yun Jhin shook his head as he imprinted some memories into Luo Shang's new brain, the memories came quite fast to him but after he understood them he looked at Yun Jhin with strange eyes as he said:

"True eternal life? Aren't your goals a bit too lofty? I only wanted to revive because I wanted to continue my life as I reincarnated, I also want to get equal with that ***** Bumi Ming, *ptuui* what a brother."

The little dragon spat on the ground the moment he mentioned his brother, technically speaking they were brothers only on the surface, they weren't blood-related they were only born around the same time.

Luo Shang started a tirade:

"That damn trash, he thought that I was the one poisoned but he was! What justice, what benevolence, we live in a world of cultivators, those things can be eaten by the dogs and no one would miss them, I wish I would have my hands on his firm and soft neck so I could..."

It seemed the years of being alone made the man quite a chatterbox, the little dragon's body was at the 1st stage of the King Realm so Yun Jhin could easily defeat him as he had the same means of a peak God Realm expert like him, both he and Yun Jhin were at the peak when it came to battle power so one level difference meant a lot to experts such as them.

Yun Jhin patted Luo Shang's head and mocked him:

"Did the big baby lose his bottle?"

Luo Shang stomach growled at the same time, he looked quite embarrassed as he scratched his head, Yun Jhin never fed the baby dragon because he didn't need it, however now that it went through so many transformations he needed to absorb some energy to fully change his body.

Yun Jhin gave him a small smile as he took out some herbs from his spatial ring and waved them in front of his face, Luo Shang jumped up to take them only to be thrown back on the dark jade below him headfirst.

Yun Jhin shook his head as he grabbed the golden sword that was the only thing left from the twin's bodies and put it in his spatial ring, the little dragon got up from the ground and glared at Yun Jhin only for Yun Jhin to return the glare and say:

"What can I do with you now, the Empire is Emperorless and you are useless and greedy, they also lost two high leveled God Realm experts, the Bumi Empire might attack any time now."

Yun Jhin was still too weak and he couldn't make any use of the little dragon, he could wait for him to grow but that meant if he grew too much he would be doomed as well, however, considering that he was his senior and he had quite the trouble to break through due to not having enough resources the same could be said about him as well, he was 3 stages above him and this wasn't something that could be overcome overnight.

Luo Shang wanted to curse Yun Jhin again but Yun Jhin's face turned serious as he told him:

"You had enough time to acclimatize to your new body right? Stop acting and tell me if you have anything to say for yourself."

The dark dragon's face scrunched up as he eyed Yun Jhin and told him:

"We can make use of the soul murking formation to defend ourselves if we are attacked by that damn trash descendants, it innately repels anyone that has his bloodline, you don't have to worry, also there are some special things left in the treasury of the Empire, getting them would be a huge problem though, I'm sure I left a puppet there that's around the 9th stage of the God Realm and it wouldn't be able to recognize me anymore as I'm you know..."

Yun Jhin shook his head, even getting in the treasury would be a problem, reaching its depths would be out of the question, the Empress must have realized by now that her husband was dead and she would immediately go to take his power in her hands, the Emperor had no children as he refused to mate with someone who didn't have a pure draconic bloodline as his.

The Empress had many children but they were all puppets in her hands, the Emperor would never appoint them as a crown prince, Yun Jhin didn't know much about the Empress, all he knew was fragmented information that he gathered by listening around the gossip of the capital.

Yun Jhin sighed as Luo Shang jumped on his shoulder and glared at him:

"Since you have such a lofty dream dear senior Yun Jhin, let me help you a little bit with it."

There wasn't much fanfare between trades of those at the God Realm, Luo Shang innately understood why Yun Jhin left him alive so he immediately sent his cultivation technique in Yun Jhin's soul via a soul link.

Yun Jhin eyes narrowed as he looked through the cultivation technique, even though his cultivation techniques were useful they weren't meant for his current draconic body so he could exhibit around 70% of his usual cultivation speed, it was faster than most other cultivators but it was too slow for him.

He needed a high-quality cultivation technique that rivaled his current one that also agreed with his body and Luo Shang sent him what he needed without asking for anything in return!

Luo Shang fidgeted his body as his stomach growled again and asked:

"Could I have that herb now?"

Yun Jhin threw him the herb before he started to go towards the exit, Luo Shang sighed as he looked behind him at the sarcophagus, he knew he couldn't fully control the formation anymore as his cultivation base was too low, he would need to be at the Emperor realm to be able to open and close the formation and he knew that there weren't enough resources left after the continuous pillaging of his descendants, Yun Jhin was there with him too so he knew it was impossible to cultivate alone without any impediments.

So he didn't say anything as Yun Jhin left the tomb while contemplating the cultivation technique he gave him.

He didn't give him a fake or broken one, after all, those at their standing could innately see through such things, Luo Shang wanted to fully cooperate with him.

Yun Jhin looked at Luo Shang from time to time and shook his head because he pulled him into the little dragon's body he wasn't technically pure-blooded enough for him to trigger the system, so he couldn't use him to fuel the needed dragon part of his next evolution.

He sighed as he could feel the darkness disappearing, he was outside the tomb, but all he could see in front of him was one lone old man with a hunched back who was giving out strange smile as he saw Yun Jhin and Luo Shang, he opened his mouth and said:

"Your highness, it seems it's true, your husband died indeed, however, two rats survived isn't it interesting?"

A peal of hearty laughter was heard but no one was visible, the voice then turned deeply cold as it said:

"Let's see what they have to say for themselves eunuch Simbad."

The eunuch squinted his eyes as he suddenly appeared in front of Yun Jhin and grabbed him by the neck while lifting him into the air, his other hand grasped Luo Shang tightly then he bowed to the air:

"Your highness, please appear and lead your judgment on these two sinners who planned the death of our dear Emperor!"

Yun Jhin's eyes narrowed as he saw the figure of a woman appear suddenly, it was the Empress and it looked like both him and Luo Shang were in trouble.

But this was something he expected to happen, after all, they were the only survivors, they needed some scapegoats to pacify their citizens.

The Empress wasn't ugly nor beautiful, she was simple and plain looking but her face was quite malevolent looking and it looked like she was a deep schemer, she gave the eunuch a side glance which meant that he could drop both of them.

Yun Jhin grasped his neck as he took in air and his ki resumed its circulation in his body, the Empress's foot landed on his head as she asked:

"Tell me what you know you peasant..."

Luo Shang wanted to laugh but the Empress's other leg landed upon his head as well as she said:

"I didn't forget you, I know you aren't a simple artificial dragon, I feel some fear by sensing your aura, what are you?"

This time the Empress's eyes turned scary as she watched Luo Shang she became interested into him, she wondered what would happen if she dissected him, being interesting in front of the Empress wasn't a good thing.

Luo Shang wanted to struggle and curse her but one glance from Yun Jhin shut him up, he knew he had to let Yun Jhin do the talking, as he was born at the God Realm he didn't have much social etiquette and didn't know what to say, he always said what came to his mind and he was vulgar and like a barbarian at the same time.

Yun Jhin opened his mouth and said with a deferential tone that showed that he was trying to kiss her ass:

"This dear majesty you see we didn't do anything bad, might you let these lowly ones tell their side of the story before we are annihilated below your mighty feet?"

The Empress gave out a hearty chuckled as she took her foot from Yun Jhin's head and said:

"I like this one, actually I want him to be my new toy."

Yun Jhin started sweating while Luo Shang gloated inside, then the next words made him pale:

"As for this other one, send him to the underground torture room and do whatever is necessary to take all of the information out of him, then throw his carcass to the mutated Icy Toxic Scorpions to feast on."

It seemed that both of them wouldn't have a good end if Yun Jhin didn't come up with a good story that the Empress would like.
