Chapter 214: Making Amends.
Stunned just like the Ice Curse Dragon was Ji Jie, who had also arrived at the scene.
Four Sunfire Dragons, one Glittering Dragon, one Extinction Dragon, and one Ice Curse Dragon – seven Ancient Dragons all gathered together!
The Dragon Crystal Land was vast.
The uppermost layer consisted of barren wind-eroded rock mountains, surrounded by ranges of peaks. At its core were countless caves extending both horizontally and vertically, their width and depth impossible to measure.
Adding to this were the mountainous regions on the periphery, where it was natural for multiple Ancient Dragons to exist. However, these Ancient Dragons were all brawling together, which posed a bigger problem.
None of the dragons retreated.
The sensation of having a blade at his neck when he had previously submerged into the acid pool beneath the Valley of Miasma reappeared.
The Glittering Dragon that should have been in slumber, the drawings made by the Ancient Dragon Person on the ground, and the Flame King Dragon’s ultimate supernova explosion after its fall.
All of this seemed to be connected to him, yet the results were not aligned with his subjective intentions.
As Ji Jie thought about this, he immediately entered the fray in the form of the Flame King Dragon, joining the weaker side of the Sunfire Dragons, helping the heavily scarred Flame King Dragon repel the Extinction Dragon.
“ROAR!”
He didn’t expect gratitude from the Flame King Dragon but instead roared back at the severely injured Flame King Dragon.
Clearly, another entity had profited from his actions and extended its tentacles.
Who else could it be?
Naturally, it was the being later named Ming Dēng Lóng.
It grew by absorbing Earth Pulse Energy, guiding the Ancient Dragons destined to die in the Valley of Miasma to the Dragon Crystal Land, using their deaths to fuel its birth and evolution.
At this moment, it was still in its cocoon, but the incorrect cycle of Ancient Dragon crossings had already begun.
What would happen after its birth?
Draining the Earth Pulse Energy, reshaping the ecosystem, creating a world to further propagate its offspring.
The disaster caused by reshaping the ecosystem was unimaginable; Ming Dēng Lóng wanted the Ancient Dragons to die, so he decided to prevent them from dying.
Ji Jie became increasingly angry as this meant he couldn’t prey on the Ancient Dragons either, and even his roar to intimidate the Flame King Dragon turned fierce with anger.
Moreover, the death of the old Flame King Dragon had already provided nourishment for Ming Dēng Lóng. These Sunfire Dragons were likely coming for the vacant Dragon Crystal Land left by the Flame King Dragon, and the old Flame King Dragon could practically be considered killed by him.
Wasn’t he becoming an accomplice to Ming Dēng Lóng?
Now, his purpose was no longer to hunt but to suppress or drive away all these Ancient Dragons from the battlefield.
Making amends was not too late.
But just as the Flame King Dragon slightly retreated, seemingly ready to exit the battle, the Glittering Dragon came crushing over with its massive body, forcing both dragons to evade.
The elder Flame Empress Dragon descended from the sky to protect her mate, and the Flame King Dragon once again bared its teeth, showing caution and hostility towards the unfamiliar kin before them.
Ji Jie observed this pair of Flame King and Flame Empress Dragons.
The Flame Empress Dragon was an older individual, perhaps most influenced by the Life Light, making her the dominant party in this couple.
In fact, this Flame King Dragon intended to leave.
But as Ancient Dragons akin to lions, the titles of Flame King and Flame Empress perfectly embodied their personalities.
His mate didn’t want to leave, and there was also a rival of the same species here. Whoever retreated first would lose face, leaving neither able to hold their heads high.
Ancient Dragons were moving natural wonders, never fragile beings.
Seeing the failure to dissuade them, another attack from the Glittering Dragon approached, and Ji Jie glared at it, only to meet an even angrier gaze from Dì Mǔ Shén.
The Glittering Dragon abandoned its assault on other monsters, locking its hatred solely on him, and the returning Extinction Dragon charged towards him.
This made Ji Jie marvel at his own charm as White Thorns pierced through the Flame King Dragon’s body, and he countercharged the Extinction Dragon, briefly retreating before hugging her body and colliding with the Glittering Dragon.
The fire-element Ancient Dragons kept the Ice Curse Dragon circling in the air, unwilling to enter the fray. The Glittering Dragon’s hatred was locked onto him, while only the Extinction Dragon, with its mind solely on eating, was wreaking havoc!
Since the intent was to prey, the Extinction Dragon naturally had to be driven away first with concentrated attacks.
Hot gold clung to the bodies of two Extinction Dragons, their claws leaving scars on each other, and Ji Jie continuously punched the head of the Extinction Dragon.
After the Glittering Dragon attacked, he flew up alone, leaving her stranded in the firefield.
The Sunfire Dragons were confused as their kin transformed into natural enemies, spreading chaotic explosions of dust indiscriminately, regardless of friend or foe.
The heavily wounded Extinction Dragon roared angrily and soared upward, charging directly toward Ji Jie, who was highest in the air.
Wings suddenly folded, Ji Jie plummeted, evading attacks from both the Glittering Dragon and the Extinction Dragon simultaneously.
Then he flapped his wings again, delivering an uppercut to the Glittering Dragon’s jaw from below.
Ha! Equal treatment for all!
The Glittering Dragon’s attempt to bite narrowly missed his body but latched onto his wingtip, shaking it violently.
Before his wingtip could break under the strain, he embraced the Glittering Dragon’s head, clawing toward its eyes.
The Glittering Dragon instantly closed its eyes, protecting its eyeballs despite the wounds on its eye sockets and eyelids, avoiding injury to the eyes themselves.
With its eyes closed, it smashed its head, along with Ji Jie clinging to it, into the rock wall.
“BOOM!”
The rock wall shattered, but Ji Jie had already detached himself from the Glittering Dragon’s head and escaped using his wings.
The Extinction Dragon paused briefly in the air after missing its charge and then dove toward the nearest young Flame Empress Dragon, entangling with her in combat.
Amidst the trembling, another monster covered in White Thorns dove down – it was Ji Jie, whose priority remained the Extinction Dragon.
During the dive, the White Thorns contracted, and Ji Jie transformed into the Flame King Dragon, scattering a series of dust particles, triggering explosions upon entering the dust.
The Sunfire Dragon’s shell had strong resistance to explosions, shedding more tissue structures as dust due to the blasts.
The Extinction Dragon took the full brunt of the explosion, temporarily losing strength and getting pushed to the ground by the Flame Empress Dragon.
Ji Jie then rammed the grounded Extinction Dragon far away.
The Flame Empress Dragon didn’t understand this guy who kept jumping between the Extinction Dragon and his kin, but she had to admit, as a Flame King Dragon, he was quite charming.
Under such praise, the young Flame Empress Dragon scattered a series of shed dust particles, allowing Ji Jie to detonate them, inflicting further injuries on the Extinction Dragon.
After igniting the Flame Empress Dragon’s dust, Ji Jie transformed into an Extinction Dragon in her disappointed gaze and roared at the real Extinction Dragon.
In matters of scaring the opponent away, the identity of a kin often yielded higher success rates.
However, the Extinction Dragon did not retreat after roaring back at him, instead choosing to charge toward the severely wounded Flame King Dragon.
Its intention was cooperation. Enough to share?
Ji Jie’s facial expression slightly twitched, flying out of the Flame Empress Dragon’s dust explosion range without looking back, continuing to chase the Extinction Dragon.
No, no, what he wanted was soy milk.
