Chapter 215: It’s Not Too Late.
The elder Flame Empress Dragon flew out with a flying pounce, dispersing explosive dust before beginning hand-to-hand combat with the Extinction Dragon, while her mate, the Flame King Dragon, detonated the dust in perfect harmony.
Fierce hellfire burned after the explosion, briefly repelling the Extinction Dragon.
Using this respite, the Flame Empress Dragon soared into the air; blue-hued hellfire danced on her body like dazzling fireworks, generating scorching hellflares upon landing.
Without hesitation, the Flame King Dragon responded to his mate’s call, flapping his wings to ascend and together they leapt gracefully. Crimson light splashed out, merging with the blue hellfire at the center of their synchronized dance.
Jié Jié paused his chase at just the right moment, instead circling around the Glittering Dragon. He admired the magnificent fireworks display while subtly leading the Glittering Dragon toward the spectacle.
Beautiful things should naturally be shared with dragons who would appreciate them!
Roaring, the Extinction Dragon ascended and unleashed the Thorn-Breaking Extinction Sky Spin towards the two suns dancing in the sky.
The monstrous creature covered in black thorns pierced through supernovas and hellflares, cutting through the colossal fiery explosions.
Sliding along, she tore apart the ground as if being plowed away by the terrifying firelight from the explosion.
Even after staggering and falling to the ground, the Extinction Dragon succeeded in knocking one of the suns down from the heavens.
The Flame King Dragon collapsed, while the Flame Empress Dragon guarded him vigilantly.
Caught in the explosion were also the Glittering Dragon lured over by Jie Jie. The golden half of Dì Mǔ Shén melted under the high temperature and then fell off due to the explosion’s impact.
Meanwhile, Jie Jie had cleverly hidden behind the massive body of the Glittering Dragon, perfectly avoiding both the high heat and shockwave of the explosion. He glanced toward the other Flame King and Flame Empress Dragons.
These two young Sunfire Dragons displayed quite limited teamwork during the fight—clearly, they weren’t a pair.
Behind him, the Glittering Dragon’s body convulsed violently as it charged toward the elder Flame Empress Dragon and the gravely injured Flame King Dragon. In her fury, she understood that heat wave breath was ineffective against Sunfire Dragons, so she relied on her powerful body to crush them.
Facing the super-large ancient dragon whose every step shook the earth, the Flame Empress Dragon stayed beside her mate, her claws gripping the ground tightly. Only when there was no retreat left did she truly feel the depth of this fear.
Fear intertwined with courage, her trembling yet steadfast claws symbolizing both terror and the bravery to protect her mate.
Glancing sideways, meeting her mate’s gaze, she realized he had long desired to leave.
At this moment, the Life Light’s enticement failed, but perhaps it was too late.
It’s not too late to mend lost sheep.
Just as they were about to suffer an impact, the monster shifting between the forms of the Extinction Dragon and Flame King Dragon emerged from behind Dì Mǔ Shén.
As always, Jie Jie dodged the Extinction Dragon’s dive attack aimed at the Glittering Dragon’s head, striking it sideways like a slap.
A tried-and-true move, simple brute force!
Though familiar with the sensation, the Glittering Dragon couldn’t alleviate her dizziness and unsteady steps. The thunderous dragon charge came to a halt.
Jie Jie crouched on the Glittering Dragon’s head, locking eyes with her anger-filled gaze, which made him genuinely embarrassed.
After all, it seemed he kept picking on her, chasing her from the Ancient Tree Forest to the Giant Ant Hill Wasteland, and now here at the Dragon Crystal Land.
Truly, how long will grudges last?
At least for now, they’re unresolved.
Seeing the Glittering Dragon’s hatred lock onto him again, Jie Jie quickly pulled her away from the direction of the Flame King Dragon couple.
As the Glittering Dragon turned, her skirt swept past, sending the Extinction Dragon and the Flame King Dragon couple flying.
After being swept away, the Flame King Dragon couple supported each other as they stood up without delay and retreated.
The Extinction Dragon similarly got up, stumbling as she attempted to chase them. Witnessing this, Jie Jie hesitated whether to pursue or not, only to be rammed from mid-air by the Glittering Dragon.
Forget it, battling the Extinction Dragon is something ancient dragons living in the Dragon Crystal Land must endure. Both the Flame King Dragon and the Extinction Dragon were heavily wounded, but the Flame Empress Dragon remained healthy.
He couldn’t resolve every conflict in the Dragon Crystal Land, but breaking up the high-intensity battlefield and returning it to normal levels was enough.
Regardless, the departure of the three ancient dragons relaxed Jie Jie somewhat.
But before long, the Ice Curse Dragon stopped circling overhead and flew toward the cave where they had disappeared, seemingly intending to join the battle.
This wouldn’t do! The Ice Curse Dragon’s participation would turn the two-sided conflict into a chaotic three-way brawl. From previous fights, he knew the Extinction Dragon and Ice Curse Dragon lacked rationality and were excessively savage.
Having wings gave them the advantage over the Glittering Dragon, after all, the mighty Mother Goddess couldn’t fly.
Jie Jie immediately abandoned the Glittering Dragon and flew toward the Ice Curse Dragon, transforming mid-flight into the Flame King Dragon and roaring mockingly, adding a teasing click of the tongue.
At this distance from the Glittering Dragon, he suppressed the Flame King Dragon’s flame-like radiation, appearing harmless except for his mouth.
The Ice Curse Dragon hadn’t joined earlier due to the high temperatures of the fire-attribute ancient dragons. Now, Jie Jie mocked and feigned weakness, resulting in a sharp cry followed by a blast of freezing breath directed at him.
Below, the rumbling sound was the Glittering Dragon melting through rock to chase him.
What excellent hate-pulling! The remaining two Sunfire Dragons should withdraw on their own soon.
Once one dragon realizes the futility of continuing the fight, more will follow suit.
Reflecting on this, Jie Jie countered with a flame breath, neutralizing the Ice Curse Dragon’s attack. Rolling flames began to radiate and burn around him.
Dodging narrowly from the Ice Curse Dragon’s slender tail aimed at his face, he bit down hard, allowing surging flames to climb up her tail.
Flapping its wings, the Ice Curse Dragon began shaking violently, kicking repeatedly with its long hind legs to try and knock him off.
The aerial combat’s center of gravity shifted continuously as he dragged the Ice Curse Dragon downward while trying to embrace her torso with his claws.
Ordinary Flame King Dragons lack any aerial combat skills—how could they possibly match the agile Ice Curse Dragon?
But he wasn’t merely a Flame King Dragon. Below, the infernal landscape generated strong rising air currents, which he controlled using wind pressure.
“Hoarrr!”
The Ice Curse Dragon’s cold stream breath swept across the Flame King Dragon’s body but failed to freeze him. Instead, Jie Jie hurled her forcefully from the sky.
“Hoo-roar!”
A ball of air enveloped in flames churned within his mouth, released instantly as a flame storm wrapping and binding the disadvantaged Ice Curse Dragon.
