Chapter 165: Divine Dragon Appears, Demonic Rune Emerges
Tian Fan was utterly shocked.
First, there had been the God-Suppressing Stele, and now he had encountered the Demon-Sealing Stele.
‘Sealing demons… sealing demons… Could it be that the countless bones here all belonged to the Demon Clan? But then why would there be the remains of a Divine Dragon?!’
“Wooo…”
The purple-gold dragon egg trembled lightly and flew out, arriving beside the hundred-zhang-long Divine Dragon’s remains. Though the little one had not yet hatched, it already possessed its own consciousness and sensed a familiar aura.
Buzz…
Suddenly, the broken dragon body stirred ever so slightly. Its eyes—hundreds of times larger than normal—suddenly burst forth with dazzling divine light.
Tian Fan’s heart jumped. This was no safe ground. He immediately stretched out his hand, grabbed the little one back, and held it tightly, afraid that anything might happen to it—something he could not possibly bear.
“My kin… do any still remain…?”
An ancient voice echoed out, its origin unclear. The riddled and broken dragon body suddenly radiated seven-colored light. Glimmers of brilliance fell like spring rain, condensing upon the purple-gold dragon egg in Tian Fan’s arms.
Tian Fan’s heart trembled. Just how strong was this Divine Dragon’s will? Though countless millennia had passed since its fall, though its body lay in ruins, its indestructible form still retained unfathomable, terrifying power. And now, all of it was flowing into the purple-gold dragon egg.
Brilliant divine light spread endlessly across the skies. The egg slipped free of Tian Fan’s arms, its shell now etched with countless mysterious runes, flickering with multicolored radiance. Vast vitality surged forth, vaster than the sea itself.
The purple-gold egg was drowned in boundless dragon power. Seven streams of the most dazzling dragon essence coiled around it, radiating seven-colored divine brilliance. This was the essence of the hundred-zhang Divine Dragon—the accumulation of its lifetime’s power.
Even with Tian Fan’s current strength, he could not clearly see what was transpiring. Only one thing was certain: the little one was safe, and it was about to receive an unimaginably great fortune.
Crack…
A faint cracking sound echoed from within the endless divine light. Tian Fan’s eyes lit up instantly, sweeping away his earlier gloom—his heart filled with joy.
Crack… crack… crack…
The sound of shattering pottery rang out continuously.
The brilliance upon the old Divine Dragon’s body grew dimmer and dimmer. When the final ray of divine light entered the sky, the hundred-zhang-long remains completely disintegrated, not even leaving behind fragments of bone. Only a sorrowful voice lingered between heaven and earth.
“My kin… with a broken body and fading soul, I could only do this much for you… at last, it is over…”
The ancient words ended there.
Tian Fan felt sorrow, but he was powerless to do anything. He could only bow deeply in that direction. At the same time, a tender dragon’s roar echoed forth.
“Krrroarrr…”
Though soft and young, the cry was crisp, reverberating clearly across heaven and earth. Supreme dragon might spread through the skies as a thirty-zhang-long purple-gold Divine Dragon appeared aloft, sacred, noble, and majestic. Words like these were still insufficient to describe its vast grandeur.
Tian Fan was overwhelmed with excitement. This was a true Divine Dragon—the little one had finally broken free of its shell and entered the world.
“Brother…”
A childish voice rang out, crisp and adorable. The little one shook its massive dragon head, revealing a dragon-like smile at Tian Fan as it flew toward him.
“Little Dragon…”
Tian Fan called out happily, naturally.
Over these past days, the little one had resided within his body and had even saved his life. Between man and dragon, they were already the closest of kin.
Boom…
Suddenly, an unimaginably terrifying aura erupted into the skies.
From amidst the countless bones, the Demon-Sealing Stele burst forth with pitch-black light. A massive dark hand stretched out, carrying endless destruction, reaching for the purple-gold little dragon still in midair.
“Pfft…”
The little dragon had just been born. Though its strength already surpassed that of its mother back then, it had no combat experience. It merely flailed its claws at the oncoming force.
Several streams of dragon power cleaved out, more terrifying than divine weapons ten thousandfold, yet still failed to fully block the black hand. Struck, the little dragon plummeted from the heavens, blood streaming from its mouth.
“Get away!”
The scene replayed itself before Tian Fan’s eyes. His fury exploded, and he unleashed his strongest combat art. To save the little one, he burned his life’s origin without hesitation, driving the Sky-Lock Moon-Slashing technique at the greatest cost.
A golden divine sword, a hundred zhang long, blazed furiously. The ground beneath his feet cracked open. Yet with his current strength, even self-detonation could not stop the destruction. The dark hand trembled lightly, and even the wave of energy from that slight motion sent Tian Fan flying, coughing blood, his near-immortal body riddled with cracks like broken porcelain.
“Wooo…”
The pitch-black hand, like a cold machine, reached down again. The little dragon’s watery eyes filled with urgency. It used what little dragon essence it could muster to push Tian Fan far away, before resolutely charging upward.
“Little Dragon!”
Tian Fan cried out weakly, blood spilling from every pore, his eyes filled with desperation.
The purple-gold dragon’s immense body roared with supreme dragon might as it battled the black hand. For a moment, the little one was valiant, but the result was inevitable. It was struck down once more, blood pouring from its mouth, struggling on the ground but unable to rise.
It was not that it was weak—it was that the black hand was far too terrifying.
The little one barely turned its head and gave Tian Fan a mischievous dragon smile.
“No!”
Seeing the dark hand reaching once again for the fallen dragon, Tian Fan’s eyes reddened, and he howled madly.
Boom…
As though responding to his anguish, the earth trembled. The countless bones erupted into raging demonic flames. Endless dark demonic energy surged forth, converging into the heavens.
A Nether Demonic Rune appeared high above, glowing with ghostly light. Supreme demonic might swept across the world. It seemed alive, driving the surging demonic energy, and in an instant, it appeared before the little dragon, as if transcending time and space, suppressing the black hand.
Buzz…
At the same time, as though drawn by some force, Tian Fan’s heavily wounded body radiated golden brilliance. Ancient divine runes surfaced of their own accord, emanating boundless ancient aura. They drifted forward on their own, joining with the Nether Demonic Rune to suppress the black hand together.
But it did not end there. The golden light from Tian Fan’s body had not yet fully faded when purple, green, and silver radiance burst forth once more. Three crystalline Orbs, each the size of a thumb, floated from his body. Their power was unmatched, transforming into three beams of divine light that shot into the heavens.
The Lightning Spirit Orb, the Wood Spirit Orb, and the Wind Spirit Orb flew out of him, forming a divine circle in the sky, pouring down endless five-elemental spiritual power.
Bang…
The pitch-black hand shattered completely, vanishing without a trace.
Black, gold, silver, green, and purple—five-colored divine brilliance surged across heaven and earth, pressing down together upon the Demon-Sealing Stele amidst the countless bones.
