The Corruption Dragon God: Lust System

Chapter 558: 558 - How do you know that?

While the rest of the world trembled and millions of lives were lost, the mood in the land of the dragon people was lively.

Not only had they received invitations from the fox people for their young to train in their sacred land, but they also had an explosion of new dragon births.

One of the most respected elders even advanced to the astral body realm after a ritual with the patriarch, Long Tianjin.

How could they not be celebrating?

Unfortunately, such excitement did not last long.

To everyone’s surprise, Tianjin soon announced his retirement, shortly after passing on all his techniques to that elder and announcing him as the new patriarch.

At that very moment, Tianjin stood atop the highest mountain in the entire dragon people’s land, his eyes fixed on the skies.

"Really, it’s time to leave, huh?" A bitter smile spread across the golden dragon’s face.

He had already contacted his main body and exchanged important memories, so he wasn’t too worried.

Even so, it was difficult to leave without even saying goodbye to his daughter, Qianyao. If only she had come to visit him one last time...

He didn’t even know when she would finally be in the celestial heavens, or when she would be able to reach the region where he lived.

"Ah..." Tianjin groaned, standing up and feeling his body slowly lose strength.

He was already at his limit and could clearly feel the tremors originating from the other side of the world.

A battle was coming.

Taking one final step, he let his consciousness abandon his body, departing like a flash of golden light toward the horizon.

He was finally free. Now, he just needed to return to the main body.

But first, there was something he wanted to do.

The flash of golden light broke through thousands of kilometers in a single second, reaching the divine realm of Auranys and then rising, passing through the hole in the sky.

Immediately, Tianjin’s fragment of consciousness felt the world around him change.

The power of the connection with his main body exploded, along with the dense concentration of Qi that surrounded him.

It was as if he had spent tens of thousands of years in a hellish desert, only to suddenly enter a perfectly air-conditioned room.

Then he felt a powerful aura fall upon him.

A pair of blood-red eyes opened in the darkness of the cosmos.

They were immense, each the size of mountains, watching that fragment of light with interest.

"Oh... if it isn’t the golden Lord himself, guardian of the righteous, Long Tianjin, hahaha!" A laugh echoed, filled with amusement and scorn.

"You know... I sensed your scent on the heir of the dragon god of corruption... Even with a broken avatar, it’s still a very easy scent to detect."

A long pause followed those words, accompanied by a suppressed chuckle.

"I didn’t know you would get involved with such a... hideous being. Especially after all you sacrificed to kill that damn bastard.

Tianjin didn’t respond immediately, his figure of light beginning to take shape.

His real body was too far away to intervene, but that didn’t matter.

"The Corruption Dragon God is dead. I organized the hunt to kill him personally. That young man is Long Qingyi, my son-in-law, my daughter’s husband. When you raise your sword against him, you raise it against me, filthy demon."

Tianjin’s words were answered by a euphoric and crazed laugh.

"Hahaha! The honorable and glorious Tianjin seems to have turned into a crazy, senile old man, hahahaha!"

Powerful claps echoed along with the laughter, the sound spreading through the Qi that filled the vacuum of space.

"I want to see you smile when your plans are crushed and your tens of thousands of years of pathetic attempts to dominate Aether end in nothing but death." Tianjin replied with a growl.

For the first time, the Heavenly Demon faltered. Shock took over his blood-red eyes.

"How do you know that?" A question echoed, cold and laden with murderous intent.

"What? Would you think something this big would be an eternal secret? You plan to dominate Aether and rule the heavens? Very well. Choke on your ambitions. My spear will find your throat soon."

A roar of deep hatred followed Tianjin’s words, the Heavenly Demon’s Qi engulfing the cosmos around him, powerful enough to tear a star apart.

But his anger no longer had anyone to target. Tianjin had left that place, exploding at the speed of light toward his main body.

Alone, the Heavenly Demon calmed down.

The projection of his eyes disappeared, and soon, his body appeared in the void.

He was tall, with long white hair and robes the same color as his eyes, vibrant red.

His powerful chest was exposed, and his beautiful face, previously twisted with rage, quickly regained its composure.

He should not fall for such cheap provocations.

No. He was above all that.

Calming his furious heart, the Heavenly Demon focused his mind, finding a small tear in the space around him.

It was so tiny that it barely seemed capable of fitting a coin, but still, it was enough.

Carefully, he separated a piece of his consciousness and sent it through that hole in space.

What did it matter if that damn golden dragon knew of his plans?

He was the Heavenly Demon. The most noble and perfect being that ever existed in that pathetic universe.

He was destined to rule over everything and everyone, and no one would ever prove otherwise.

***

Still in the immortal heavens, Qingyi stared at the tear in the sky, the hands that held it open trembling slightly.

He had seen that ray of golden light pass through the tear before, but he had barely paid attention.

It had been too fast for him to even discern the origin of that Qi. Especially with so many things occupying his mind at the same time.

"So... you’re finally here. . ." Qingyi’s eyes narrowed as a flash of crimson light burst through the tear in the sky, falling toward the blood orb.

His hair fluttered as he ascended into the sky, positioning himself at the same height as the orb and observing its changes.
