Chapter 1817 - 1817 Another dragon
1817 Another dragon
Mountain peaks as red as blood.
The ground was littered with piles of white bones.
As soon as Gu Qing Shan appeared in the sky of this world, he was immediately discovered by the monster army.
These monsters had the same physique as humans, but they’d grown out three extra pairs of sharp claws and two long horns of nebula from their heads, which radiated a brilliant and eerie glow.
The monsters vocalized one after another as they began to sprint towards Gu Qing Shan’s landing location.
“What are these things…”
Gu Qing Shan muttered under his breath.
He had met living beings of countless different races, but never before had he seen creatures made up of nebulae.
He hadn’t even seen them being described in any records he had read either.
——records?
Gu Qing Shan casually took out the Book of the Sea and asked: “Can you take a look and tell me what these monsters are?”
The Book of the Sea replied: [You still owe me 3000 years’ worth——-]
Before it even finished its words, a cold ray of light shot up from the ground with a resounding howl.
Gu Qing Shan had no choice but to take an evasive maneuver.
As he wanted to open the Book of the Sea again, the monsters on the ground had already started on their next barrage of attacks.
——more and more cold rays of light were being shot from the ground.
These rays of light appeared as light flares that filled the ground and sky, blocking every direction where he might be able to evade toward.
The sky itself had been lit up like it was daytime.
Gu Qing Shan no longer had time to gradually convince the Book of the Sea.
“Alright, guess I’ll investigate them by myself first”
His figure flashed in the air before transforming into a black figure that eclipsed heaven.
Roar——–
The black dragon soared into the sky while spewing scorching flames towards the ground.
Shattering noises continuously rang out.
Most of the attacks had been stopped, only a few rays of light managed to escape the envelopment of the dragon flames and continued to shoot towards the sky.
The black dragon appeared a bit surprised.
These monsters are numerous, but they aren’t particularly powerful at all.
While he was thinking that, the situation on the ground had changed.
Noticing that their attacks were useless, the monsters proceeded to gather together.
Their bodies then turned into pure glowing dust that melded and fused together into a single form.
The countless monsters condensed into a single giant mass of starlight before finally manifesting into a solid form.
Rooar?
The black dragon couldn’t help but vocalize his surprise while hovering in the air.
The world was now empty.
All the monsters had vanished.
Except that there was now another dragon on the ground.
This dragon had the same exact physique and size as him, with the only difference being that it occasionally radiated starlight from its body, perfectly displaying its nobility.
——-it looked exactly like a starlight dragon!
The dragon coldly glared at the black dragon while lying motionlessly on the ground.
Even after it had fully manifested its form, countless nebula monsters were still moving towards it from all directions, continuously being absorbed into its body.
The presence it emanated gradually but intensely grew, swiftly surpassing that of the black dragon in the sky.
A line of bloody red text appeared:
[Attention, its strength has surpassed yours, and is still rapidly growing]
The black dragon really had no choice but to treat this battle seriously.
If he allowed that fake dragon to continue fusing, there would really be no way to fight this battle.
Roar——-
The black dragon vocalized a deafening roar before suddenly soaring downwards.
Seeing that, the starlight dragon responded with a look of contempt.
It took a deep breath and opened its maws——
And expelled a dragon’s breath that enveloped the entire region above it.
Even the black dragon’s giant form paled in comparison to this dragon breath!
The black dragon immediately ceased his descent and expelled a dragon breath as well.
The two breaths clashed.
And the black dragon’s breath was instantly consumed.
—–he was no match at all!
Without hesitation, the black dragon instantly vanished from the sky.
Divine Skill, [Shadow Shift]!
He had changed places with the starlight dragon on the ground, landing with a huge thud.
The starlight dragon had now reappeared in the sky, bearing the full brunt of its own scorching dragon breath.
Boom!
The sky itself appeared to burn for several breaths’ worth of time before the dragon breath finally subsided.
The black dragon turned to look at the sky.
Only to see that the other dragon’s body had been charred black, its body riddled with wounds as it hovered in the air.
「 So this is your power? It is only this much after all 」
It spoke in a broken human language.
As the black dragon was about to say something in return, the starlight dragon had already vanished from the sky and landed on the ground with a huge thud at the very next instant.
The black dragon was stunned.
He realized that he was now back in the sky.
[Shadow Shift]!
The other party had instantly learnt dragon’s breath, then immediately leant how to use [Shadow Shift] as well.
Does that mean it can learn something just by observing it a single time?
…Terrifying.
After observing the starlight dragon on the ground for a short while, the black dragon’s vertical irises abruptly became filled with murderous intent.
「 I admit that you surpass my expectations. Never before in my life have I seen an entity like yourself, being able to learn my abilities by seeing it just once 」
The black dragon spoke.
——Azure Dragon Origin Hex – Binding!
The starlight dragon instantly became immobilized.
But it didn’t appear distraught at all, only answering him with a calm tone: 「 A new and unusual power, needing only spoken language to invoke. But, just as I have been afflicted with this hex, so will you—— I will infuse even more power into your own abilities to leave you with despair in death, while your body and soul will become my food 」
Several lines of bloody red text suddenly popped up in front of the black dragon’s eyes:
[Attention, you’ve been afflicted by the other party’s Azure Dragon Origin Hex – Binding]
[You will immediately become trapped and immobilized, in this state, although you can defend against the other party’s attacks, you will not be able to move away or escape]
The black dragon was then restrained in the air, unable to move a single inch.
He was in complete disbelief.
It managed to grasp even a Dragon Hex at a single glance!
If that’s the case, how exactly am I supposed to fight back?
While he was still wondering about this, the other dragon had already opened its mouth again.
——-dragon breath.
An immense burst of dragon breath was shot into the air.
The black dragon was restrained in the sky, still unable to move at all.
The dragon breath swiftly enveloped him, moved past him, then continued to howl as it soared away into the far horizon.
「 Still not dead? 」
The starlight dragon spoke with an emotionless tone of voice, but also felt as if it was actually displeased.
In the sky, the black dragon’s body was covered in burnt marks all over, still sizzling from the heat.
But he didn’t care about that at all.
「 You wanted to kill me with only that much? 」
I need a way to deal with it in one fell swoop, ensuring that it can’t learn anything from me.
Currently, neither side could move at all.
The starlight dragon indifferently spoke: 「 Your dragon breath is no match for mine, your hex is no match for mine either, all I need to do now is to keep attacking. Even if you can endure the same attack a thousand times, it doesn’t change a thing. You will eventually die here and become another pile among these countless bones 」
It took a deep breath———
Dragon breath!
A more blinding and fatal dragon breath shot into the sky straight towards the black dragon!
The black dragon rapidly chanted: 「 All things live and die in the fleeting moment, by power of Condemnation, all wicked machinations upon me shall be eradicated 」
Instantly, he regained his freedom and vanished from the sky.
Thud!
The black dragon landed on the ground.
「 So there was a dispelling incantation 」
The starlight dragon smirked and also chanted: 「 All things live and die in the fleeting moment, by power of Condemnation, all wicked machinations upon me shall be eradicated 」
After chanting, it tried to move.
But couldn’t.
「 That can’t be right… 」
As the starlight dragon wanted to try again, it realized that the black dragon had already climbed over its body and pushed it to the ground.
Without using any abilities, the black dragon merely opened its maws filled with sharp teeth, bit into the starlight dragon’s neck, and applied force——
The starlight dragon’s neck was summarily torn off.
The black dragon then expelled a dragon breath to burn the severed dragon head to dust.
Still feeling unsure, he dug his dragon claws deeply into the starlight dragon’s body and tore it in half.
It then uttered a resounding roar——-
Supreme Sequence function, [Entropy Solution]!
This dragon was originally a manifestation of countless monsters, there was no way to tell if it could still transform again, so the most correct way to resolve this was to plunge them all into eternal destruction using this opportunity!
「 Hurry up, the owner of this world can notice us at any time; if that happens, that’ll be a real issue 」the black dragon hurriedly said.
[Primal Chaos exists everywhere] the Supreme Sequence answered.
Instantly, the two halves of the dead dragon’s body were enveloped by a golden waterfall and vanished without a trace.
The black dragon sighed in relief.
Suddenly, a furious roar resounded from above the sky:
「 You killed an entire army under me… I want you to die… 」
As the black dragon looked up, he saw a vast nebula replacing the blue sky.
The entity noticed!
The black dragon’s eyes became dilated.
It’s impossible for me to beat it, let’s just use the chance that Huang Quan granted me and quickly return.
As he was thinking that, the black dragon suddenly felt a weak force pulling on him from the void of space.
An azure fish hook silently appeared in front of his eyes.
At the same time, a female voice sounded in his ears:
“Rhode, it’s me Xiao Lang; don’t move, we’ll drag you back!”
The black dragon was surprised.
Indeed, this was the presence of a Huang Quan technique, and the fish hook was indeed Xiao Lang’s Divine Artifact, but why——
The fish hook swiftly entered his body.
Zuuu!!!
The pulling force instantly turned immeasurably powerful and brought the black dragon away from this world without delay.
…
Being pulled by the fish hook, the black dragon was rapidly flying through the void of space.
Not only were they able to find me outside of the Samsara, they were also able to rescue me—–
Did Xiao Lang and her sister actually possess this much power?
The black dragon silently thought.
Could it be… that Huang Quan also helped the two of them, which indirectly supported me as well?
The black dragon slowly shook his head, feeling a bit unclear.
The Samsara wanted to kill me, but it also helped me at the same time.
Could it be…
There were actually two different entities controlling the Samsara?
As the black dragon was thinking, he noticed something.
A black piece of scale was flying towards him from the void of space.
The scale first flew in front of his vision, then proceeded to fly in the same speed and direction as him.
「 So it was you 」
The black dragon muttered.
