Chapter 848 - Super Dragon Fusion

Chapter 848 - Super Dragon Fusion

In the black hole, the Ancient that was being hammered by attacks suddenly tightened his frown. But, this was completely unrelated to the maniacally attacking powerhouses outside.

It was because he had determined that there had been a problem in his plan. Otherwise he would have already arrived. Thus, what he needed to do was to find the problem and correct it.

If so, he couldn’t wait here and do nothing.

He relaxed his eyebrows and looked upwards. The Ancient faintly swept his eyes around, “Since you’ve all come, then stay behind!”

…

“Be careful!” The Dragon Soul roared out loud. Light erupted from every scale of its body. These rays of light were like needles that pierced into space, fixing it in place.

The Myriad Dragon Body’s reaction was a pace slower. Although it roared out loud and released a billowing blood red light, it still had to pay a price for its slowness.

But the most pitiful were the powerhouses that were closest to the black hole and giving their best effort. Just moments earlier they were all excited, thinking that success was close at hand. But then the situation suddenly reversed!

Bang –

The black hole immediately inflated, as if it was a pitch black mouth that opened up. Before the ‘excited’ powerhouses were able to respond, they were directly swallowed inside.

“Ahh!”

“How can this be!?”

“Run away!”

Amidst roars of startled anger, everyone’s complexions changed. All of the previous joy and excitement had completely disappeared.

But since the Ancient had made his move, how would he give them a chance to escape?

“Humph!” With a cold sneer, the inky darkness in the black hole began to shake and undulate like the stagnant water in the deepest part of the sea, submerging everyone within.

In the next moment, all sounds of struggle and all fluctuations of strength completely vanished. All that remained was a deathly stillness. Numerous powerhouses had arrived from various influences, all of them carrying with them the will to die as long as they could destroy the Ancient. But now, in an instant, they had all been erased.

Perhaps they were filled with unwillingness as they died, but this was reality. Since they had decided to come here, the result had already been decided for them.

The disparity in strength between the two sides was far larger than they imagined…to completely vanquish the Ancient? With their strength this was impossible, even if they tried for the rest of their lives!

Once the darkness swallowed numerous powerhouses, it seemed to be supplemented with even more strength. It wildly grew in volume as it spread outwards.

Hou –

Hou –

The two dragons roared out loud as they resisted the swallowing strength coming from the black hole. Their eyes widened with disbelief.

This Myriad Dragon Devouring was an ultimate supernatural art they could only release when joining forces; it represented their greatest united strength. It was originally intended to deal with the Ancient…but now it had been taken away and used as a method to deal with them instead.

As expected from their master who had suppressed and dominated an entire world!

At this time, unconstrained fear gushed out of the two dragons’ hearts. But soon they suppressed this emotion and their eyes became even calmer than before.

Before they made their move, no matter how confident they had been, fear and awe towards the Ancient had been imprinted into their bones. Or perhaps subconsciously they always held onto a belief that their master was unwaveringly powerful and invincible.

So after a brief moment of fearfulness they were able to rapidly recover and calm down. Since they had made their move today, they had no other choice. The worst result was death and that was always better than doing nothing.

The Ancient’s callous and cold eyes swept over the two dragons. He slowly said, “You two have some courage. At least you didn’t disgrace me completely. As a reward, I will bestow upon you a dignified death.”

The Dragon Soul lowered its head. “Thank you, master. Your formidable might is beyond comprehension. But even now I do not regret fighting so that I may live on.” It looked up, “And I will continue to fight. I will not hesitate to use any method. All I desire is to survive!”

The Myriad Dragon Body roared, “Even if master is powerful beyond compare, if you want to swallow us and take our strength, that won’t be easy!”

The Ancient had a faint expression. “Your strength? Don’t forget that it was I who made you. Everything you possess was granted by me.”

He raised a hand. “There is no longer a need to argue. I will not waste any more time here, so let everything come to an end!”

The Ancient lifted his hand and grasped his fingers forward. The swallowing strength that the black hole released suddenly increased by over a dozen times!

Whether it was the golden light that was fixed in space or the blood red light that flooded everything, both the Dragon Soul and Myriad Dragon Body fiercely shook.

Kacha –

Kacha –

Shattering sounds filled the air. Cracks appeared in the golden light and the blood red light. At the same time, the scales of the two dragons started to break apart and fall off.

Whoosh –

Whoosh –

The fallen scale fragments were wrapped in a potent strength and sent howling into the black hole like meteors. There, they were crushed and dissolved into pure strength, in the two colors of crimson and pure white. The colors blended together into a small dragon that flew into the Ancient’s body.

The complexions of the Dragon Soul and Myriad Dragon Body became even uglier. This was because at this moment, their connection with that portion of power had been completely cut off, as if they never had it to begin with!

This proved that their diligent attempts over hundreds of thousands of years to refine their own strength and thoroughly control it as their own had all failed.

If they couldn’t resist then they would be swallowed up by the Ancient without any ability to contend with it.

“No! I won’t vanish like this! After suffering for hundreds of thousands of years, if I cannot avoid this tribulation, what was the meaning of enduring all that pain!?”

The Myriad Dragon Body roared and its eyes grew increasingly red. Blood gushed from its broken scales. It covered its entire body, turning everything red!

Bang –

The Myriad Dragon Body erupted with an even crazier blood red light. It was recklessly burning itself up. If it couldn’t resist then it would be swallowed up by that. Rather than suffering that fate, it was better to fight with everything on the line!

Even if it died…it would choose how it died. Because since the moment its consciousness had been formed, it had passively accepted all choices being made for it.

Regardless of the betrayal in the past, or the separation of itself that occurred afterwards, it had only been hiding in this world…it had never even truly walked outside and taken a look at the skies.

Today, it was going to make a decision for itself.

The Ancient looked over. The blood red light around the Myriad Dragon Body suddenly disintegrated. It turned into a mighty current that howled back into its body.

This returning strength wasn’t gentle; the impact caused severe damage to the Myriad Dragon Body. Its cracked flesh broke apart even further and its insides were torn into a mess.

“This is mine, you do not have the qualifications to destroy it.” The Myriad Dragon Body howled out. It was no longer able to stabilize itself as its giant dragon body flew towards the black hole.

The Dragon Soul reared back its head and roared. On its own initiative, it unexpectedly gave up resistance. After hundreds of thousands of years it chose to fuse with the Myriad Dragon Body.

Once the Myriad Dragon Body was sucked into the black hole and destroyed, it would be difficult for it to escape its own calamity.

In order to survive, the Dragon Soul was willing to make any compromise, including fusing with the Myriad Dragon Body…even if this meant that it would be unimaginably difficult to separate in the future, or even if it meant they could never separate again.

But at least it would still be alive…

A living being that had never approached and experienced death would never understand how lucky it was to be alive, and they would never understand how frightening death was!

To the Dragon Soul, as long as it could survive, nothing else mattered.

Hou –

The two dragons became one. The Myriad Dragon Body and Dragon Soul fused together. Hundreds of thousands of years ago, the Ancient had slaughtered the entire dragon race, using their mortal bodies and bloodline to refine a super dragon. Now, this great super dragon was finally regaining the strength it should have possessed.

But this strength wasn’t as simple as adding one and one. Rather, it was based on a foundation of superimposing strengths, increasing multiple times over!

The Ancient suddenly smiled. “It’s finally time.” His hands that were splayed forward suddenly balled together into fists.

Hou –

After fusing together, the super dragon released a pained roar. It madly struggled as if it were diving in and out of the endless sea. But the imprisoning strength around it was iron-hard and didn’t shake at all.

“No!” The voices of the Myriad Dragon Body and Dragon Soul both came from the dragon’s mouth. They suddenly realized that the Ancient had been waiting for them to voluntarily fuse together. Then, he would swallow them once they were in a functional state.

Because only like this could he obtain the complete strength of the super dragon.

The Ancient pulled back a hand. The super dragon couldn’t resist it and was pulled directly towards the black hole. But at this time, the Ancient furrowed his eyebrows together. “It’s still incomplete…but fortunately, that other portion is still here. Then, return to the main body!”

The Ancient stepped forward and placed a finger between the dragon’s eyebrows. Using the super dragon as a medium, an invisible restraining power blasted into the surrounding world, causing the world’s Laws to fluctuate like the tide.

These fluctuations broke through the barrier of space. They crashed into the mysterious void of the palace and continued flooding outwards until they arrived at the depths of the fog-covered First Moon Mountain Range.
