Chapter 492: Regrets

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor:EndlessFantasy Translation

It was not easy to plant the Golden Mark and graft it onto someone else's body. The Golden Mark was the core mark left behind by the former Golden King, It was the proof of the existence of the Golden King.

To such an existence, the Golden Mark not only represented most of its power but also represented the essence of the Golden King.

Even if it was the mark left behind by such an existence, not everyone was qualified to inherit it. At the very least, if one's talent and potential were not enough to be recognized by the Golden Mark, the grafting could not be completed.

And it was precisely because of this that the grafting of the Golden Mark was actually quite challenging. In order to not attract the attention of the Round Table, Ferrier and the others had gone far away into the galaxy before finally finding this desolate starfield in front of them. They had searched

through this desolate star field for many years. Only then did they finally find a suitable candidate in Lu Yao.

Lu Yao had been chosen by the followers of the Golden King and became one of the future kings they desired. She undoubtedly had extraordinary potential, even though she was only an imposter king in the eyes of Ferrier and the others.

Even if she was only a false king and did not receive the full power of the Golden Mark, it was not so easy to complete the grafting. For Lu Yao to be qualified, she was undoubtedly extremely outstanding in her own right. She was heaven's favorite who truly possessed extraordinary talent.

Such a heaven's favorite was extremely rare no matter where. Lu Yao's performance was so ordinary because Ferrier and the others had done something back then to intentionally restrict Lu Yao's talent so that she would not stand out too early to prevent any accidents from happening.

Because of this, Lu Yao's performance in the past was plain. She was just like an ordinary girl, ordinary and nothing special. But in reality, Lu Yao's talent should be outstanding. Otherwise, Ferrier and the others would not have been taken in.

But compared to Chen Heng in front of him, she was far inferior. Ferrier looked at the chaotic battlefield in front of him. Feeling the chaotic aura within, he could not help but feel a little regretful.

Compared to Chen Heng in front of him, Lu Yao's performance was too ordinary.

'What on earth did the person in charge of the selection do? He actually missed out on such a prodigy.'

He looked at the scene in the distance. This thought could not help but flash through his mind. Compared to the ordinary Lu Yao, the young man in front of him was much more outstanding.

The other party was young, and he did not rely on any external forces to be able to reach this level at such a young age. He reached the level to be able to go head-on against the Crimson Knight to reach this level.

If he had the support of the power of the Golden Mark, wouldn't he be able to soar into the sky and might even be able to match up to the high and mighty Five Knights?

Just thinking of this possibility, Ferrier could not help but feel a fire in his heart. He even felt a slight throb. The Five Knights, these five top powerhouses, had already stood in the galaxy, suppressing them for a very, very long time.

It was to the extent that the moment they heard the names of these five knights, their hearts could not help but tremble and feel fear.

And now, a heaven's pride that might have been on par with the Five Knights, or even comparable to them, had been missed by them just like that. He could not help but feel regret.

Ferrier looked at Lu Yao, whose face was pale and looked extremely weak at the moment. She looked just like an ordinary girl. He could not help but sigh inwardly, feeling even more disappointed.

However, he quickly collected his thoughts and continued to look at Lu Yao and Chen Heng in front of him. No matter how regretful he was, things had already happened at this moment.

No matter how regretful it was, he could not remove the Golden Mark away from Lu Yao's body and transfer it to Chen Heng. If he really wanted to do this, regardless of the other party agreed or not, the transferring of Golden Mark itself would also be too difficult to complete.

Previously, a portion of the mark on Lu Yao's body had already been destroyed by the Crimson Knight. Now, it was already damaged and required a lot of time to recover before it could recover its strength.

Prior to this, the Golden Mark had to remain on Lu Yao's body and could not be transferred out. Hence, no matter how indignant Ferrier was at this moment, he could not change anything. At this moment, the only thing he could do was to use all his strength to teleport Lu Yao out of this planet.

Thinking of this, he took a deep breath and looked at the ground. On the empty ground in front of him, densely-packed runes were carved here, making it seem unique.

There was a faint glow flickering in the surroundings, giving off a mysterious aura. When people looked over, they could not help but feel a little surprised. This was a large-scale teleportation array. It was something that Ferrier had already prepared for this moment.

In front of him, all the large and small factions on Qika Star were attracted by Avril's previous actions. All the spaceships were temporarily cut off, and they could not leave through normal channels.

It was also because of this that if Lu Yao wanted to leave at this moment, she could only leave through the power of the teleportation array. However, this path was also very difficult.

The Crimson Knight seemed to have already expected Ferrier's plan. Hence, she had spread out the Crimson Net early on, enveloping the entire Qika Star. Within the Qika Star, no matter where one was located, they would be affected by the power of the Crimson Net and would be bound invisibly.

The space around them was suppressed by the power of the Crimson Net, and they could not easily pass through it.

"It's still not working..."

Standing where he was, Ferrier tried a few times, but he got nothing. In front of him, the huge magic array flickered with a faint light. The runes within it danced and flickered, appearing exceptionally bright.

Aray of light spread forward along with the network. However, after reaching a certain place, it was unable to breakthrough, and there was no way to truly activate it.

Looking at the scene before them, Ferrell and Ye Zi could not help but frown. They felt that it was troublesome.

"How is it?"

At the side, Lu Yao's somewhat weak voice sounded.

Lu Yao, who was standing in support of Ye Zi, seemed to have noticed that the situation before her was not right, so she asked softly.

"It's a little troublesome..."

At the side, Ye Zi looked at Lu Yao in front of her and said softly, "The entire Qika Star has been sealed off by the Crimson Knight."

"The teleportation array can't break through the seal and bring us out."

"Then what should we do?" Hearing Leaf's words, Lu Yao frowned.

"Since things have developed to this point, we can only try our luck."

Standing at the side, Ferrier sighed softly, then said, "We can only teleport forcefully."

"Teleport forcefully?"

Hearing Ferrier's words, Lu Yao did not have any reaction, but Ye Zi had already subconsciously frowned and said, "No, no!

"This is too dangerous!"

"There's no better way."

Ferrier looked at Ye Zi and shook his head. "The battle ahead won't last for long."

"My king, your elder brother is no match for the Crimson Knight. He will lose sooner or later.

"If we continue to fight in a stalemate, we will only end up dead."

He said calmly. He had a very clear judgment of the situation. It was obvious that Chen Heng was no match for the Crimson Knight. It was the case before this, even with the addition of that unknown powerful Imperial Beast.

'As one of the Five Knights, the Crimson Knight was one of the top figures in the galaxy. It was not so easy to defeat him.

In Ferrier's opinion, Chen Heng would be in the Crimson Knight's hands sooner or later. And without Chen Heng's obstruction, Lu Yao and the other two were easy targets. There was no chance of survival at all.

Regarding this, not only was Ferrier clear, even Lu Yao and Ye Zi were very clear. However, she was still hesitant and did not dare to make this decision.

Using the teleportation array to teleport through the galaxy was already very risky. One moment of carelessness and one would be lost in the galaxy. Under normal circumstances, it would still be so.

But if they were to teleport forcefully in a situation where the array could not be connected, it would be the same as carrying out random teleportation. At that time, it would be possible to teleport to any place.

Judging from the vastness of the galaxy, the possibility of them being teleported to normal areas is exponentially small. This world was huge. Under the vast galaxy, the number of living stars with life and a normal environment was minimal.

If they were forced to teleport, it was very likely that they would be teleported to the cold starry sky. At that time, what awaited them would only be death.

"Do we have a better choice?"

Ferrier stood up and glanced at Ye Zi and Lu Yao. Then, he walked forward and began to adjust the magic array. Ye Zi knew the risk of forcefully teleporting, so naturally, Ferrier knew as well.

However, just as Ferrier said, at this moment, they had no better choice. If they continued to delay and hesitate, the final outcome would be their destruction. Instead of that, they might as well give everything they had. Perhaps there would still be some chance of survival.

In the distance, a terrifying sound erupted. The cries of divine birds resounded, enveloping the entire area. A terrifying heat current could be faintly felt. It was like a meteor falling, rushing in all directions, flying across the entire galaxy.

The terrifying heat wave rushed in all directions, even affecting the area where the three of them were at. They could feel that terrifying feeling.

Standing on the spot, feeling the intense intensity of the battle, Ye Zi gritted her teeth and finally made up her mind. Bringing Lu Yao along, she walked forward. Together with Ferrier, she started to get busy, preparing to modify the magic array and forcefully leave this planet.

And in the distance.

Bang!

A terrifying sound erupted. When the Crimson Knight was fighting with Chen Heng, a divine bird descended from the sky and landed here. Blazing Sparks enveloped the surroundings, lighting up the entire city and turning this place into a sea of fire as if it had been ignited by flames.

Among them, Chen Heng stood up once again, his entire body bathed in flames as he charged forward. In midair, the Divine Bird quickly fell down and charged towards the Crimson Knight.

Crimson light blossomed. At the critical moment, a Crimson Net appeared and quickly turned into a layer of protection, blocking the Divine Bird's attack. Flames swirled around, enveloping the surroundings.

The two figures were also covered in flames, completely being burned under the divine fire. For a moment, it was as if there were two burning men standing in the middle of them, facing each other.

A gentle breeze rose and fell. After the attack, the Divine Bird's body quickly contracted, turning into a golden bird that landed on Chen Heng's shoulder. Just like that, the golden bird and Chen Heng looked forward.

The Flames were burning. Under the light of the flames, Chen Heng took a step forward. Inch by inch, the golden armor on his body fell off automatically. He had been severely injured by the Crimson Knight in the battle just now, along with Chen Heng's body.

Even so, Chen Heng's body did not fall down. He stood firm from the beginning to the end, showing no intention of admitting defeat.

"This kind of inexplicable fire and this kind of powerful and majestic bloodline..."

In front of them, the Crimson Knight said in surprise, "This unique aura, is it a Dragon Bird?

"But compared to a normal Dragon Bird, it's a little too strong..."

In front of them, a sharp sword wind swept past and separated the flames in the sky like a dividing line, revealing the figure inside. The Crimson Knight was dressed in scarlet armor and held a bloody blade in her hand. She looked no different from before, and she was still so powerful and powerful.

She was too powerful, so much so that Chen Heng and Reé's joint attack just now didn't seem to cause her any serious injuries. She was only in a sorry state. There wasn't much change at all.

'Walking out of the flames, she cut everything in half. Looking at Red on Chen Heng's shoulder, she couldn't help but feel a little surprised. As a top-notch powerhouse in this world, the Crimson Knight was naturally well-informed.

In her past travels, she had naturally seen many powerful Imperial Beasts. She was even a powerful subdued beast master herself. In the past, she had owned many powerful Imperial Beasts.

Even so, this was the first time she had seen a terrifying Imperial Beast as unique and mysterious as the one in front of her, Red. It was filled with the might of a powerful bloodline.

From the aura that little red emitted, she could tell that Red's race was actually a Dragon Bird. However, this result surprised the Crimson Knight.

A Dragon Bird? Such a low-level Imperial Beast could actually grow to this state?

The Crimson Knight could tell that the Imperial Beast in front of her had yet to reach its peak. It was just like Chen Heng, still in its infancy, but already possessed strength close to Fifth Rank.

If she waited until it reached adulthood and fully activated the potential in its body, it wouldn't be impossible for it to reach the Sixth Rank.

Imperial Beasts of this level were extremely rare, even in the entire galaxy. In the past, the Crimson Knight had owned quite a few Imperial Beasts, but not many of them were comparable to this Imperial Beast before her.

However, she had never thought that she would run into one in this place. What she didn't know was that at this time, there were many people who were even more shocked than she was.

"This is a Dragon Bird? How is that possible?"

In the spacious room, Dong Fang Xiong looked at the divine bird displayed on the screen in front of him, then listened to the records his subordinate had retrieved, his face filled with disbelief. "You mean to say that this Imperial Beast that is even stronger than me is actually a Dragon Bird?"

"And this flying bird dragon was given away by us?"

He stood where he was, not daring to question it. At that moment, he even stood up due to his excitement and looked straight at his subordinate.

In front of him, his subordinate's scalp was numb from his gaze, but he could only nod and say, "If... If the records are correct, that is indeed the case...

"That sir did indeed receive a Dragon Bird from us...

"Moreover, the auras are completely compatible. If there are no accidents, it should be this one..."

He stared at Dong Fang Xiong's gaze that seemed as though it was about to devour a person. After swallowing his saliva, he said this. As his words fell, the expressions of almost everyone present changed.

Their expressions instantly became regretful, as though they had lost 100 million. If one were to describe what they were feeling right now, it would be regret.

In the past, there was a terrifying genius within their group who had the potential to become a king and was strong enough to fight against the Crimson Knight. However, they didn't hold him back and even tried to capture him and offer him to the Round Table.

In the past, their group had an extraordinary Dragon Bird with the potential to become a king. However, they didn't treasure it and sent it away.

Now, these two things were placed in front of them. They were extremely dazzling and resplendent. The brilliance was so dazzling and enviable. It was such a pity for everyone present.

"If only I had known... If only I had known..."

Dong Fang Xiong stood where he was, clutching his heart. At this moment, he was filled with incomparable regret.

If he had known the situation before him, he swore that he would do his best to nurture Chen Heng. Even if he had to invest all the resources of the entire Black Dream Group into him, he would not hesitate.

If he had known that Chen Heng had such strength and talent, they would not have thought of tributing Chen Heng. They would have only tried their best to hide him, not letting anyone find out.

'When he grew up in the future and had the strength comparable to Five Knights, it would be the time for the Black Dream Group to reach its peak.

And that Dragon Bird. If they had known that it had such potential, they would not have let it go so easily, much less given it away so easily.

Unfortunately, it was too late now. They had missed the opportunity to let the Black Dream Group peak. They could only spend the rest of their time in regret.

Suddenly, the entire room was filled with an inexplicable atmosphere. Everyone sighed, feeling a strong sense of regret. Among the crowd, Liu Rou was surprised.

She did not feel the slightest bit of regret towards the Dragon Bird. Unlike the others present, she had personally come into contact with the Dragon Bird and knew the entire process of its growth. Thus, she was very clear about some things.

The reason why the Dragon Bird was able to become like this wasn't that the Dragon Bird was born strong and had extraordinary potential. It was because Chen Heng was strong and outstanding. That was why it was able to become like this. Gradually, it became like this.

In the beginning, although the Dragon Bird was not bad, it was only above average in terms of strength..
