Genshin Impact: Supreme Justice of Teyvat

Chapter 36 - The Radiant Moon-Grade Utility Dragon!



Chapter Thirty-Six: The Radiant Moon-Grade Utility Dragon!

When Li Cheng spoke, the courtyard fell into a profound silence. Even the sound of a pin dropping could have been heard.

Even Lu Yu was stunned—what he had heard was about a dragon egg!

Dragons, in any world, were renowned for their formidable physiques, exceptional intelligence, and overwhelming magical prowess from birth. The dragons of this world were no exception. Lu Yu had read posts detailing encounters with dragons—massive creatures hundreds of metres long, capable of shattering mountains with a single strike.

These creatures were living titans. Without any elemental power, their sheer physical presence embodied unparalleled strength. A mere movement of their colossal bodies could incite earthquakes and wreak havoc.

What made this revelation more astonishing was that this was a dragon egg—an unhatched embryo!

This meant that the dragon within had not yet taken form, allowing the potential for monster editing.

A dragon could undoubtedly serve as a three-star material, and more importantly, it would become a critical foundational resource.

Being from a country known for its infrastructure excellence, Lu Yu possessed an unrelenting pursuit of quality. He naturally aspired to use the highest-grade materials for monster editing. Moreover, he had a five-star resource. By merging the silk of the Spider Deity with the dragon egg, might it be possible to create a Spider Dragon?

Although the concept sounded peculiar, the resulting creature might inherit a fraction of the Spider Deity’s divine power.

If successful, it would equate to seizing the divine authority of a god—even a dark god.

Yet, what puzzled Lu Yu was that in all legends, dragons were known for their poor fertility, which was why they hadn’t dominated the world as a favoured race.

A dragon egg, as a vital heir, should have been fiercely guarded.

This question, naturally, was posed by the talkative Xu Xiaoqing:

“Did that caravan kill two adult dragons?”

Xu Xiaoqing, an avid reader, had delved into numerous tomes and understood that dragons’ protective instincts for their offspring bordered on fanaticism.

Stealing a dragon egg meant not only facing the parents but also a horde of adult dragons.

Dragon-kind’s protective tradition for their young was unparalleled. Even if an egg were stolen, the adult dragons would relentlessly pursue the thief to the ends of the earth.

Thus, unless the adults were slain, it was nearly impossible to snatch a dragon egg.

“Impossible!”

Li Cheng shook his head with a bitter smile. “This is no purebred dragon egg. It’s the offspring of a male dragon and another creature—a hybrid.”

Night Market trader Ma Yang understood immediately. “Ah, a hybrid wyvern scorned by pureblood dragons…”

Li Cheng shot him a glance and calmly added,

“Don’t underestimate a hybrid. Its father was a Radiant Moon-grade dragon!”

As he spoke, Li Cheng glanced at Lu Yu, recalling the vision of the time-devouring locust shadow he had witnessed earlier—like an apocalyptic demon god.

Radiant Moon-grade beings were marked by the manifestation of phenomena.

In other words, this enigmatic man in yellow might also be a Radiant Moon-grade powerhouse.

The others gasped audibly, astounded to learn such an astonishing secret.

To them, Morning Star-grade experts were already lofty figures. A Radiant Moon-grade existence was beyond their comprehension.

Radiant Moon-grade!

Was it truly the level beyond Morning Star?

Lu Yu was inwardly shaken, quickly noting the term down while feigning nonchalance. However, in Li Cheng’s eyes, this calm demeanour indicated Lu Yu’s utter confidence in handling any retaliatory efforts from Radiant Moon-grade dragons.

Such composure stemmed from unshakable faith in one’s own power.

What a remarkable human powerhouse—this boldness was unparalleled.

Li Cheng silently nodded in approval before continuing,

“The caravan discovered the dragon egg in a massive cavern, surrounded only by coagulated blood. There were no creatures guarding the egg.

“This daring small merchant group took the egg, but misfortune struck—they encountered the Human Eye Thieves. Almost the entire group perished, with only one survivor escaping through feigned death at the cost of his sight.

“In revenge, he released this information, hoping to lure powerful individuals to annihilate the Human Eye Thieves. Unfortunately, those cunning monsters hid themselves well and haven’t hunted recently. However, they can’t consume eyeballs more than two days old.

“This leads me to suspect someone is supplying them with fresh eyes. That’s why I came to the Night Market to ask Ma Yang for help investigating any missing persons in nearby cities.”

“That’s correct!”

Ma Yang nodded in agreement, affirming Li Cheng’s account.

Lu Yu nodded slightly, deeply desiring the dragon egg.

Though not purebred, its powerful paternal bloodline promised exceptional three-star potential.

If combined with the Spider Deity’s silk, would it yield an eight-legged Spider Dragon or a dragon-headed Arachnid?

It hardly mattered…

The only certainty was that Lu Yu would gain a Morning Star-grade monster—a rideable dragon!

The Utility Dragon was imminent!

As he pondered, Lu Yu wondered about the Human Eye Thieves’ whereabouts. However, since Li Cheng and Ma Yang were already investigating, he refrained from revealing his suspicions to avoid looking unremarkable.

Still, he sought more information, lightly tapping the table with his finger.

“How many of them are there?”
