Chapter 236: This is the King of Ancient Dragons.
The vast, dark curtain flapped violently, and tiny dark blue lights extended from the feather-like forks at the tips of its wings, tracing out a flight path.
Beyond the barrier of mountains, the patterns on the basalt of Dragon Crystal Land spread neatly in his view, with some magma flowing down from the tops of volcanoes and accumulating into pools within caves.
The mountainous terrain had changed; new volcanoes were born while old ones fell silent.
The massive creature began to dive downwards. The wind pressure caused by its landing made rocks and crystal fragments fly everywhere. Some fragments exploded, while others pierced into the rock layers.
Acid-winged dragons were attracted by the faint light emanating from its body but were blown away by the wind pressure when it landed.
Jie Jie gathered his wings and completed his descent. The rock layer was shaking slightly due to his weight. If he made any more violent movements, this rock layer might just break off.
He started walking slowly, feeling the temperature of the ground and the complex smell molecules in the air. Memories were supplemented with more details, no longer fading.
There was no doubt that the calamity brought by the old Flame King Dragon’s death had passed. He wondered if the Glittering Dragon had gone back to sleep, how the Sunfire Dragons’ territorial disputes were going, and whether the Flame Empress Dragon had found a suitable mate.
After reminiscing for a bit on the mountainous terrain, Jie Jie flapped his wings and took off again, intending to return to the battlefield where it all began.
The dark curtain swept across the sky, falling into the line of sight of the Odd-Faced Tribe.
They were lucky that their main camp hadn’t fallen into the abyss. Perhaps they wouldn’t have to worry about the roaming Extinction Dragon competing for territory in the future. However, the white giant before them was clearly more threatening than the Extinction Dragon.
The wind pressure created by just flapping its wings shattered the dragon crystal thorns, sharp fragments causing chaos among them. Those who got too close were directly blown away.
Before they could further probe, the enormous white monster sank into the abyss.
The wingspan of the Míng Dēng Lóng was terrifying. Its wingtips almost grazed the edge of the abyss as it landed below, creating an impact that stirred up large amounts of accumulated dust. Its limbs also slightly sank into the rock layer.
In the darkness, the faint light on the Míng Dēng Lóng’s body became brighter.
A familiar sensation surged through its limbs. It could trigger energy eruptions and explosions at any time by transmitting energy into its limbs.
Only after transforming into the Míng Dēng Lóng did he realize how wasteful that was, somewhat envious.
The breeding site of the Míng Dēng Lóng was in a very good position, with relatively abundant Earth Pulse Energy waiting for extraction.
Jie Jie shook his head, only pulling out his limbs but collapsing again after taking a few steps.
Apparently, the destruction caused by that battle long ago hadn’t faded with time.
No longer insisting on pulling out his limbs, he moved forward, plowing through the brittle rock layer. After not long, he found the second large collapse created by the Míng Dēng Lóng.
Diving into the second collapse, he splashed up clouds of rock layers.
Without any fake-dead Extinction Dragons or exhausted Glittering Dragons, proving that these events didn’t happen yesterday.
There was only one set of remains here, a massive skeleton with ribs like blooming flowers.
Looking at the remains of the Míng Dēng Lóng, Jie Jie felt a sharp phantom pain in his chest.
In a sense, this could be considered his past self.
So, exactly how much time has passed?
He seemed to only be able to determine the time period through the investigation team. It probably hasn’t been a very long time.
“Rest in peace.”
Compressed beams shot from Jie Jie’s mouth, sweeping over the upper rock layers, causing layers of rocks to collapse and burying the massive remains.
It hurt to waste so much energy.
Compared to a newborn Míng Dēng Lóng, he had better control over his energy. The beams he spat out wouldn’t scatter unstable flames everywhere, and the destructive power was concentrated to a “point.”
To achieve widespread destruction would require immense energy consumption. He couldn’t spit out many now, and focusing too much on his breath weapon would affect his body balance.
After observing the destruction caused by his breath weapon, he watched as the remains were completely buried.
Jie Jie turned his head, locking onto the traces left behind by the Glittering Dragon’s departure.
Then he’d go see the old familiar dragon next.
Flapping his wings, his strong limbs clung to the rock wall, half flying and half climbing as he prepared to leave the abyss.
Jie Jie didn’t know that among the remains of the Míng Dēng Lóng, one of the spines he had left behind had already shown signs of development.
And the reason he didn’t choose to transform into another form to fly out was naturally because he still had a bit of a show-off mentality.
Although the main part wasn’t well-developed and was a bit small, he was still an Ultra-Large Monster! A single slap could make ancient dragons fly!
Moreover, he thought he looked super handsome now.
Huge wings, with flower bud-like swaying feather-like structures on the sides of his face and limbs, black and elegant horns on his head, six luminous organs resembling eyes.
At the same time, unlike the previous Ancient Dragon King, there wasn’t such intense light pollution. His white body, dotted with black spines, emitted a just-right gentle luster.
With this handsome new skin, of course, he wanted to show it off everywhere!
Jie Jie proudly showed off his massive body to the Odd-Faced Tribe, ignoring the explosive materials thrown at him. The barbaric cries of the beastmen were like worship to him!
Satisfied with the admiration and cheers he received, he left contentedly.
Seeing the ultra-large monster driven away, the martial Odd-Faced Tribe began celebrating their great achievements.
Win-win.
In the distance, the moving Dragon Roll caught Jie Jie’s attention. With a flap of his wings, he flew towards the flashy Steel Dragon.
His huge body ensured ample stamina and strength, making him far from clumsy. Wind Pressure surrounded his wings, allowing him to fly swiftly.
In the brief panic, the distant Dragon Roll expanded into a storm even larger than the Míng Dēng Lóng, stirring the clouds in the sky.
Amidst the turbulent mountains, the Master of the Storm remained stationary, waiting for him to confront the storm.
Dimly visible was the shadow within the storm roaring something.
Inviting him to confront the storm?
Jie Jie had no intention of dodging. The gales spreading from the storm were insufficient to disrupt his flight.
Then, the storm won’t work either.
It’s your turn to confront the Ancient Dragon King!
As excitement surged, the dark glow on the Míng Dēng Lóng’s body intensified, focusing particularly on the flower bud-like feather-like structures.
The Ancient Dragon King crashed into the storm. With a mighty sweep of its vast wings, countless winds were shattered instantly.
Under such power, even the storm seemed to develop cracks.
“Boom!”
Without using Breath Weapons, his palm strike carried the full momentum of his entire body, directly slamming the Steel Dragon out of the sky.
“Show-off.”
As the roar subsided, the storm was shattered by his wind-pressure-laden giant wings, diffusing into chaotic gales in all directions.
After shattering the storm, Jie Jie didn’t even land. He merely glanced at the red-nosed clown below and flapped his wings to fly away.
In the Steel Dragon’s eyes, the monster who defeated him seemed to care nothing about this victory. After shattering the storm, it left him with a receding back, growing smaller and smaller.
Exactly like the monster from before…
