Chapter 915: Ancient Dragon Emperor, The Faeries (I)

Amid the chaotic currents of destruction, a golden-red creature stood like a mountain, exuding an ancient, immense aura so heavy it weighed down even the heavens and earth.

Under the golden sword of Heavenly Punishment, the Destructive Dragon Emperor’s original mountain-like body, which had stretched over five thousand kilometers, had been reduced to barely twenty.

Yet, through the tempering of the power of heaven and earth, the Dragon Emperor had completed the final step in forging its principle-infused body. Its bloodline had reversed, allowing it to ascend into the ancient titan level. Its entire form was clad in golden-red scales, resembling red-hot forged steel and burning with flames capable of annihilating the world.

These fire-like powers were unimaginably terrifying. The surrounding space dissolved layer by layer like glass, revealing the deepest reaches of the void, where monstrous shadows stirred. However, upon seeing the figure engulfed in golden-red flames, all of those void creatures revealed fear in their eyes and dared not approach.

Even a colossal void lifeform tens of thousands of meters long, radiating an ancient-titan-level aura from the pitch-black depths, showed a trace of wariness in its violent gaze before silently retreating.

At that very moment, space and time twisted around the Dragon Emperor, making it appear to straddle the boundary between reality and illusion and suppress the abyss, divine and majestic.

It gazed at the enormous black figure that disappeared into the depths of the void, and a faint trace of regret flickered through its cold, golden vertical pupils. Had that ancient void beast dared to emerge, it would have made a perfect target to test its new strength after the breakthrough. Unfortunately, the creature had resisted the temptation of the material world.

With a trace of disappointment, the Dragon Emperor willed its golden-red flames to retract. Its massive body swiftly shrank, soon returning to a colossal beast six thousand meters long. This was its true, post-breakthrough form, the normal state after reaching the ancient titan level. What it had shown earlier was the Dark-Red Form.

After breaking through to the ancient titan level, its ten laws had fused into principles. As a result, the Dark-Red Form had been reduced to a simple state of gigantification, now only offering a basic boost in power and defense.

With this transformation in life stage, the Dragon Emperor’s body and appearance had undergone tremendous changes once more. The once black-and-red scales had become golden-black, gleaming with a metallic luster. Each scale had three protruding ridges in the center, making them look heavy and fierce. Three rows of dorsal fins still stretched down its back like mountain peaks, from the nape to the tail, now lined with a narrow golden-black mane.

Its wings remained composed of bone and scale, their edges razor-sharp. Each feathered segment resembled a golden-black blade, while from the back extended a membrane of golden light. They were like a pair of semi-energy-based wings, spanning over ten thousand meters and glowing brilliantly as they radiated an overwhelming pressure.

Its tail, still occupying half its total length, appeared long and agile, emanating a dangerous aura, and the body had become even more muscular. Its hind legs bulged with powerful curves, and beneath the scaled surface, they brimmed with explosive strength. Its foreclaws had grown longer and sturdier, with even sharper, wilder talons.

The most noticeable change lay in its neck. Previously, the Dragon Emperor had looked like a blend between eastern and western dragons; possessing the long tail and head-neck structure of an eastern dragon, and the stout body of a western one. Now, its neck had shortened slightly and become much thicker. It wasn’t a stubby kind of thickness, however, remaining just long enough to appear both balanced and agile.

Its broad dragon head remained ferocious and regal. The previously aligned twin pairs of horns had also shifted in arrangement. The front featured a pair of golden-black horns shaped like those of a deer, typical of eastern dragons. Flanking them, a second pair of spiral horns, twice as long, extended diagonally backward from either side.

Combined with the mane atop its head that billowed like golden-black flames, it looked like it wore an imperial crown. On both sides of its head, its iconic three pairs of feathery horns tilted slightly backward and burned with golden fire, almost like a pair of wings. This gave the already majestic, sacred, and fearsome Dragon Emperor a hint of grandeur and splendor.

By now, all traces of the eastern and western dragon had faded from its form. The Dragon Emperor had completely become another kind of ancient creature, one that represented an entirely different evolutionary path.

All of this was only the change in its form and appearance. The most important part of its breakthrough lay in the transformation of its life stage and power.

On the shoulder of Mech No.1, Chen Chu, who had been in seclusion for two days, slowly opened his eyes. In his and the Dragon Emperor's shared vision, a translucent attribute page appeared.
