Chapter 559: Fusing with a Dragon

Boom!

With the explosion of the rebirth pod, a figure surrounded by a halo of divine white light and radiating an immense aura emerged.

In an instant, ritualistic runes that resembled an altar flared brightly. The energy from countless runes converged, forming a white passage that connected the void burial ground to the research lab.

"Little Yi, we did it!"

Inside the research lab, Bai Yunfeng, who had been keeping guard, cried out in excitement. Tears welled up in her eyes as she gazed at the figure stepping onto the white passage.

After over a decade of planning by Heavenly King Xuanwu, combined with some unexpected factors, Yan Ruoyi had finally gone through the rebirth.

Under Bai Yunfeng’s emotional gaze, the figure walked through the void. Each step seemed slow, but at the same time, also carried incredible speed as it closed the gap to the real world.

As the figure stepped out of the void and set foot on the ground, the entire research lab trembled slightly. A terrifying aura spread out instantly.

Under the immense pressure, cracks began to form across the strong and durable research lab. The pressure was so strong that even Bai Yunfeng, a Fifth Heavenly Realm cultivator, could no longer stand.

However, this flash of overwhelming pressure was quickly withdrawn by the figure. As the surrounding light faded, Yan Ruoyi's form appeared.

Her hair had turned silverish white, and a pair of white dragon horns, shimmering like crystal, nestled within it. On the skin of her hands and neck were faint traces of white dragon scales. Standing there like a dragon maiden from myths and legends, she was elegant and majestic.

Bai Yunfeng, overwhelmed with excitement, asked, "Little Yi, how are you feeling now?"

The silver-haired girl smiled gently. "Aunt Bai, I feel wonderful. Not only has my soul been fully restored, but my cultivation has also advanced directly to the peak of the Ninth Heavenly Realm, as anticipated."

Yan Ruoyi had now become a powerful cultivator, comparable to a quasi-mythical being. As her soul fused with the dragon law, it had fully undergone the transformation into a divine soul.

Throughout the reincarnation ritual, her body also absorbed numerous top-grade god-level resources. With her body completely reforged, her physical strength was now comparable to a Ninth Heavenly Realm cultivator, while also inheriting the attributes of a dragon.

The life essence of the Little Purple Dragon provided by Chen Chu had significantly enhanced her life potential and elevated her dragon attributes, which was a key factor behind her current power.

At that moment, Yan Ruoyi could be described as a perfect fusion of human and dragon. While she retained the appearance of a human, her essence was that of a dragon.

However, despite reaching the peak of the Ninth Heavenly Realm, she still needed time to stabilize her cultivation and further hone her skills to familiarize herself with her newfound draconic powers.

Yan Ruoyi's unique path was impossible to replicate because her soul was previously innately broken, and had deteriorated to its very limits. For over a decade, her soul had fused with an origin of dragon law that had also similarly deteriorated to a state of extreme weakness.

That, combined with an unimaginable wealth of resources—enough to elevate an ordinary genius to the Ninth Heavenly Realm, or even the mythical level— had resulted in her extraordinary transformation.

While Yan Ruoyi awakened, Chen Chu remained in deep seclusion.

As he continued absorbing and transforming, progressing toward the stage of an Innate Demon God, the Profound Yellow Qi surrounding him grew increasingly sparse. At the same time, the aura emanating from him became ever more powerful.

Under the pressure of this overwhelming aura, the surrounding space quivered faintly, as if an ancient deity or demon was being nurtured into existence.

At the same time, the Dragon Palace on the Blue Planet continued its relentless march to unify the oceans.

With the combined might of the Nine-Headed Serpent and the Silver Colossal Dragon, which both possessed late stage level 9 combat power, and Zhulong, which had strength that rivaled a standard mythical-level being, the other colossal beasts in the oceans stood no chance.

The three split into three directions, sweeping through the remaining ocean territories. Wherever their level 9 aura spread, resistance crumbled. Any level 9 colossal beast that appeared was either destroyed, subdued, or driven off of the Blue Planet entirely.

As the Dragon Palace continued strengthening their territory, the human alliance observed them silently, without action.

This was because the Thunder Fiery Heavenly Dragon had already sent Hu San to communicate their intention with the human naval bases. The message was clear: once the Dragon Palace unified the deeper regions of the oceans, all colossal beasts at the middle stage of level 9 would leave.

As a result, the vast oceans would be left with only a few colossal beasts at the middle stage of level 9 or below, which were also under the Dragon Palace's control.

Furthermore, during this mission, numerous peak level 7 and 8 colossal beasts had been slain. It could be said that the Heavenly Dragon had almost completely destroyed the entire ocean during this time.

All mythical-level beasts had either been killed or had sworn not to return to the Blue Planet, while level 9 beasts were eradicated or driven away. Even the remaining level 7 and 8 beasts were thoroughly purged.

Ironically, this ruthless goal stabilized the ocean's power structure. For the foreseeable future, there would be no significant threats from powerful colossal beasts attacking the coasts.

This unexpected outcome caught everyone by surprise.

On July 27th, in the World of Water and Fire, deep beneath thousands of meters of volcanic magma, a massive black and red colossal beast slowly opened its eyes. Its golden pupils radiated an aura of extreme pressure and destructive intent.

By now, its aura had undergone a complete transformation, becoming subtly similar to that of the Little Purple Dragon. The emperor-level aura it exuded, while faint and elusive, was unmistakably commanding.

Eeya! Eeya?

Sensing the changes in the Heavenly Dragon's aura, the Purple Dragon blinked its large eyes with curiosity. It felt an even closer bond with the Heavenly Dragon, as though they truly were siblings—sharing an identical aura.

Boom!

As the Heavenly Dragon slowly rose to its feet, the entire volcano began to tremble.

It was time to leave.

In the heart of the lava lake behind the World of Water and Fire, the searing, dark red lava rapidly expanded. It surged like a tsunami, rising into a towering wave.

Boom!

With a thunderous eruption of lava, a colossal beast over five hundred meters long emerged. The scalding lava cascaded down the scales of its massive body, like fiery waterfalls.

Perched atop the colossal beast's head was the Purple Dragon, now two meters long. Clinging to one of the thick, spiraling dragon horns, it pointed forward with its right claw, letting out an excited cry.

Eeya! Eeya!

The Heavenly Dragon was speechless. It slightly opened its mouth and exhaled a wave of scorching air, followed by a low, rumbling growl.

Roar!

Destroy what? That’s our palace ahead!

Apparently, the Purple Dragon had been enthusiastically saying,

Big Brother, charge! Destroy everything ahead!

This little creature, perhaps due to its experience of witnessing a great battle immediately after hatching, had developed a personality brimming with destructive tendencies.

It seemed that in the future, some serious thought correction and education would be needed. It would have to learn to be a model dragon, rather than thinking about fighting all day long.
