I glanced at him and shook my head slightly. "I'm fine. This hunt is over. We will continue the next hunt after I have digested the Abyssal Hydra."
After saying that, without minding Ozzy, my dragon body transformed into a three-meter-tall dragon-human form, and I stepped into Any Door in one stride.
After returning to Duolun City, I traveled back to the Tal plane through the teleportation altar.
After resting in the Dragon Pond for a few days and reaching full health, the feast began.
Taking out the huge corpse of the Abyssal Hydra, I no longer hesitated. I started the feast and transformed into a gluttonous beast.
One day later, the dark dragon woke up from his slumber.
Feeling my dragon body becoming stronger again, I looked at the panel.

The creature's order had increased by a small level, and the mage level had also increased by a small level.
These were all expected by me. I ignored them and looked at the skills at the bottom of the panel.
"Aren't there any new special alienation abilities?" I was a little disappointed.
But at the same time, I also noticed that [Super Speed Recovery] had been upgraded from the first level to the second level.
Thinking that the most outstanding features of the Abyssal Hydra were its ability to recover and its physical immortality, I had some enlightenment.
"That's fine. Instead of having an extra ability with a high probability of being at the first level, it's better to raise the original ability level." I quickly accepted this result. In other words, I was quite satisfied.
I had already experienced the effect of the first-level [Super Speed Recovery] talent. It had increased my already decent recovery ability several times, and my survivability had increased linearly. But now that this skill had been upgraded to the second level, the effect was estimated to be even more exaggerated.
Maybe even if my head exploded, I wouldn't die and could recover?
I made a bold guess.
However, I would not randomly experiment with this kind of thing, so I quickly gathered my thoughts.
I didn't have nine heads like the Abyssal Hydra.
After waking up from the feast-enhanced slumber, I stayed in Dragon Pond to rest for more than half a month. Of course, it was more about working hard than resting.
I practiced two eighth-tier spells that I hadn't started with and two spiritual martial arts that I hadn't begun yet.
Especially the psychic martial arts [Shunstep] and [Hundred-Split Fist].
In the past, my psychic energy was too little, making it impossible to use even after learning it. Now that I had accumulated psychic energy for four years and the basic spiritual energy required for using these two psychic martial arts had reached the necessary level, it was only natural to learn them.
[Rolling Stone Strike], the most basic psychic martial skill, was already so powerful, so I was truly jealous of the effects of other psychic martial arts.
Compared to spells with diverse effects, psychic martial arts were more suitable for bursting out my powerful dragon body's strength—to the extent that one plus one was greater than two.
After practicing for more than half a month, with only about ten days left before the next feast, I took action again.
After teleporting to the Abyss, I joined forces with the six-armed snake demon, Ozzy. After deciding on a target, one acted as bait while the other launched a secret attack.
In this way, in less than five days, another legendary creature was successfully hunted.
[Chris Giant Scorpion]: A top-tier creature with terrifying poison. The legendary Chris Giant Scorpion could even kill a legendary dragon with its venom.
The legendary creature we hunted this time was a poisonous scorpion. In order to lure it out, Ozzy, who acted as bait, almost died. If not for ruthlessly cutting off his poisoned lower body at the critical moment, the legendary six-armed snake demon would already be too dead to die any more.
But as long as the result was good, it didn't matter.
Anyway, as long as Ozzy, a top-level demon race, survived and only lost his lower body, he could grow it back quickly in a few months with proper food and rest, restoring his full strength.
However, without Ozzy acting as bait, leaving me to hunt alone, my efficiency would likely drop significantly.
And the risk would increase considerably.
The Lava Wasteland was a relatively high-level abyssal plane. Even though I was currently only active in a very remote corner of this plane, where the number of strong beings was small, if I were unlucky enough to encounter a second or third-tier legendary creature with hidden strength—or worse, something even stronger—it would be very dangerous.
Although Salonia and Cessi were gathering intelligence in advance, this could only reduce the risk, not eliminate it entirely.
'I can't rush things. I'll swallow this legendary poisonous scorpion first, then wait for Ozzy to recover before continuing the hunt,' I thought carefully.
It was just a few months' delay.
Moreover, the collected information on wild legendary creatures was gone, meaning it would take additional time.
"Patience."
A few days later, the feast began. Relying on the ability to devour everything during the feast, no matter what kind of poisonous scorpion it was, I would consume it entirely!
The day's sleep passed.
After waking up, I immediately checked the panel.
The biological level had not improved—it was still only at an intermediate level of eighteen.
"It seems that as the level increases, the energy required grows, and the corpse of a first-level legendary creature is no longer enough to push me up even a small level." I felt a slight regret, but my mood remained calm.
Because although my level hadn't increased, my strength had improved just as much as in previous breakthroughs.
"I'm just a little short of breaking through. I think I can do it with a few more feasts in the next few months."
I looked at the ability column.
The original talents remained unchanged, but as expected, one new talent had been added.
[Poisonous Aura (LV 1)
Effect: An ability inherited from the legendary Chris Giant Scorpion bloodline. Your energy, physical attacks, and any objects you imbue gain potent poisonous properties, weakening or eroding those they touch. The toxicity strengthens as levels grow.
After reading the introduction to Poisonous Aura, my mood remained steady.
While hunting the Chris Giant Scorpion, I had already predicted the general type of talent I would obtain from it.
"You can add poisonous properties to energy, matter, or items. This ability is pretty good, but I don't know how potent the poison actually is. Is it at least half as strong as the Chris Giant Scorpion's venom?" I muttered to myself.
It was normal for special alienated abilities or the abilities looted from a legendary creature's bloodline to be weaker than the original.
After all, the races were entirely different.
And some loss during the looting process was to be expected.
After spending some time experimenting, I roughly measured the effect of this talent.
It amounted to about 60% of the Chris Giant Scorpion's poison.
Don't underestimate that—at even 60% effectiveness, it was still enough to poison legendary creatures with weak poison resistance.
As for beings below the legendary tier, there was no need to even discuss it.
"But it doesn't matter. After devouring another legendary poison-based creature, this Poisonous Aura may be upgraded. By then, the effect might rival or even surpass the Chris Giant Scorpion's poison."
At this point, the potential of Poisonous Aura exceeded that of the original Chris Giant Scorpion's poison. While the latter's venom would grow with its strength, it had an ultimate limit.
Poisonous Aura, however, started weaker, but as its skill level increased and my own strength advanced, my poisonous ability would continue to evolve—eventually reaching a terrifying level.

One day, as I was leisurely practicing magic and spiritual martial arts…
I suddenly sensed a new coordinate.
The dark dragon abruptly opened my eyes, excitement, ecstasy, and caution flashing within them.
"Is this a demon that I spread the power of the Void to in another material plane?"
After thinking about it, that seemed to be the only possibility.
"I don't know the energy level of this plane or whether it already has an owner." I felt nervous yet excited.
Taking a deep breath, I calmed myself.
All in all, I had to give it a try to find out.
I casually grabbed a high-level dragonborn male servant from Castle Black and then stepped through an Any-Door portal, arriving on an uninhabited desert island in the offshore South Sea.
Feeling for the coordinates of the plane linked to the power of the Void, a large number of energy crystals burned in my claws. The realm teleportation technique, refined to the 'Return to the True' level, was instantly activated. A spatial door appeared, and I gave a few instructions to the dragonborn servant, handing him the materials to construct the teleportation altar—before tossing him inside.
Then just wait patiently.
The Truth-level realm teleportation technique can not only be used instantly but can also teleport other people to other planes.
Otherwise, I can only go to the alien plane to explore it myself.

Time gradually passed—one day, two days, and seven days passed in the blink of an eye.
While waiting, I did not waste time and continued to practice spiritual martial arts. On the sixth day, I finally got started with the Hundred-Split Fist, which I had been practicing for several months.
[Hundred-Split Fist (Entry 1%)]
In the sea area, my spiritual energy spread all over my body, and I instantly transformed into a black dragon-man over ninety meters tall.
I mobilized the spiritual energy in my body, followed the techniques of the Hundred-Split Fist, and blasted out toward the boundless sea.
In an instant, the two spiritual energies entangled and merged like a swimming dragon and then blasted out.
The sea surface, blown by the breeze, sank into a deep hole under this punch, and endless seawater poured into it, forming a huge whirlpool.
A large amount of blood dyed this small area of the sea red—it was the blood emanating from the bodies of fish, shrimp, and sea beasts that had been bombed.
[Hundred-Split Fist] Unleashes a sudden explosion of hundreds of spiritual energy strikes, overwhelming and annihilating everything in its path.
This is the effect of great perfection.
Now I am just getting started and can only reluctantly activate the two spiritual energies to merge.
But even so, the power is quite exaggerated.
"Has he not built the teleportation altar yet?" I muttered to myself as I returned to my black dragon body.
"There won't be any surprises, right?" I frowned slightly.
---
After waiting patiently for two more days, I finally vaguely sensed the birth of a stable coordinate in a distant plane.
The altar is set up.
I stopped practicing psychic martial arts, took out a large amount of materials from the spell storage space, and began to build another corresponding teleportation altar on the Tal plane.
Although I can teleport there without building an altar, with a large rear area like Black Wing Lair and countless monster armies, it is natural to make use of it.
It took an hour to build a small teleportation altar and then input the coordinates of the teleportation altar in an unknown plane onto it.
The two teleportation altars have reached a state of connection.
"That's enough." I breathed out, and a trace of expectation flashed in my brown eyes.
Under my gaze, the teleportation altar quickly lit up with a soaring aura, and the magical aura was blocked by the guard barrier I had arranged in advance.
A figure nearly three meters tall emerged from the center of the teleportation altar.
It was the senior dragon-born male servant who had been teleported by me using the plane teleportation technique.
"Master." The dragon-born male servant's expression flickered. After seeing that he had returned to the Tal plane, he first breathed a sigh of relief, then noticed the black dragon lord in front of him, towering like a black golden hill, and immediately knelt down and bowed his head in a hurry.
"What's the situation in that plane?" I asked directly without any nonsense, my tone somewhat expectant.
The dragonborn manservant organized his words slightly and then said cautiously,
"Master, after I was teleported by you, I came to a forest. This forest was very weird. I walked in it for a long time without encountering a living being. Later, I climbed to the top of an ancient tree, relied on a wide view, and found a village.
There were a large number of green-skinned monsters living in that village, somewhat similar to goblins but looking more evil. Later, I was discovered by those green-skinned monsters. My subordinates were afraid of disturbing powerful creatures and affecting their plans, so they kept running away without any contact with them. After these creatures fought and chased each other all the way, my subordinates finally found a secret cave and built a teleportation altar in it."
After listening to the dragonborn servant's narrative, I was a little disappointed. As I especially selected him for his innate ability to create golems of all kinds.
It can only be said that there is basically no useful information, but his mission was to successfully build the teleportation altar, so I did not blame him.
"Send a small team to go in and take a look first." After pondering for a moment, I made a decision.
After finding out the specific situation of that plane, I would decide whether to go by myself.
---
"The first team is assembled!"
"The second team is assembled..."
"Team 10 is assembled!"
On the desert island, in front of the teleportation altar, ten teams stood with solemn expressions.
Dragonborn humans, gnolls, goblins, tengu, kobolds, trolls.
Ten teams, each with ten people, a total of one hundred people.
Everyone is a senior professional!
Among them, each team is equipped with warriors, flying knights, dragon warlocks, thieves, and tanks, making it a fairly standard adventure team.
Coupled with the complete set of high-end magic equipment and weapons worn on them, if these ten monster teams work together, they can even surround and kill some top creatures!
The people leading the team to the other plane this time were Roy and Brian.
The former is the patriarch of the Sieglinde family and is currently the only master-level spellcaster in Black Wing Lair besides me. In addition, his biological order has also reached the 16th order.
The latter is the leader of the wild tribe of gray-haired gnolls. After that battle in the wilderness many years ago, he quickly broke through to the master level. Now, many years have passed, his biological order has reached the 17th, and the blood profession [Warg Knight] has also reached the 17th level.
The two commanders were among the first batch of old men to follow me. They were quite sophisticated in terms of experience and strength.
One is an old man over a hundred years old who leads his family to prosperity, and the other is a ruthless jackal leader who has led his tribe to survive in the cruel wasteland for decades.
