The giant dragon lifted its head to the sky and roared. A terrifying dragon might spread outward, sweeping across the world.
Boom!
An explosion rang out. The overwhelming dragon might directly crushed the surrounding sea area sheets of seawater seemed to collapse, bursting into countless droplets that sprayed into the sky before falling back down, forming a heavy rain.
"..."
In the deep sea, all ocean beasts stared blankly at the posture of the five-clawed dragon. No words could describe what they felt.
Even without any concept of "sacredness" in their minds, the instinctive suppression of bloodlines screamed one truth at them:
They must submit to the five-clawed dragon before them.
There was nothing mysterious about it only the simplest law of nature.
"Roar !!"
The evolved five-clawed dragon roared again, venting the infinite power it had just obtained.
Majestic. Overbearing.
Like a god descending into the world the incarnation of storms, the master of thunder and lightning. As if it had walked out of a distant ancient myth, a divine dragon beyond description.
Under the awed and fanatical gazes of all ocean beasts, the five-clawed Heavenly Dragon moved its incomparably vast body and rose out of the ocean. It hovered above the clouds like a world-coiling python.
First, it looked down at the sea below with indifferent golden dragon eyes.
Then, it turned its gaze toward the land where the Xia Kingdom stood.
"After twenty years of slumber… I have finally completed my transformation."
"This time, I want humans to disappear completely from this world!"
The air trembled under the pressure of its faint dragon might. If anyone were close enough, they would be stunned on the spot.
After evolving into this sacred mythic form, the five-clawed Heavenly Dragon had actually mastered human speech. It was no longer like a mere ferocious beast more like the legendary "demon" itself.
"Roar !!!"
The dragon's roar shook the sky, summoning all powerful ferocious beasts in this sea region.
Those dark-golden dragon eyes seemed to reflect the figures of Huang and countless warriors. As killing intent rose, the five-clawed Heavenly Dragon's expression grew colder and colder.
In the past twenty years, it had fought countless bloody battles with the human warrior named Huang. Each time, the outcome had been the same.
But now, it had evolved.
Now, it was stronger.
This time, they would join forces and kill that troublesome man completely.
High above, Jiang Yi stood even higher than the five-clawed Heavenly Dragon. His eyes were calm as he watched it depart watching it lead a vast swarm of terrifying beasts toward the Xia Kingdom.
After a long time, he spoke faintly.
"Should I call it lucky… or unfortunate?"
"Evolving to the level of a five-clawed Heavenly Dragon is indeed different from the past. Even a half-step extraordinary Huang has no ability to resist in front of it, but…"
Jiang Yi did not continue.
Even without further deduction, he could already guess how the plot would unfold.
As long as the five-clawed Heavenly Dragon was not decisive enough to kill with a single strike, Huang would surely seize that desperate moment between life and death gain enlightenment and step into true extraordinariness.
He would become an existence capable of matching the five-clawed Heavenly Dragon.
[While the host lamented the fate of the five-clawed Heavenly Dragon, the war to determine Blue Star's hegemony erupted.]
[The Legion of Ferocious Beasts, personally led by the five-clawed Heavenly Dragon, assembled the strongest top-tier vicious beasts across sea, land, and air, launching a full-scale assault on the Xia Kingdom from all directions.]
[The sudden tide of ferocious beasts caught the Xia Kingdom off guard. As soon as the attack began, one-fifth of its territory fell. Countless soldiers and warriors died tragically on the battlefield, and large numbers of ordinary people were massacred at will. It was hell an unforgettable nightmare for countless people.]
[Huang was furious. With an extraordinary sword slash, he instantly killed tens of thousands of ferocious beasts. However, he was soon completely suppressed by the powerful five-clawed Heavenly Dragon, unable to resist or escape.]
The system's narration ended there.
But the scene before Jiang Yi continued to change rapidly.
Ferocious beasts smashed through human defenses. Electromagnetic cannons were torn apart by even larger monsters. Warriors and soldiers were slaughtered with ease.
A tragic song of blood and fire wailed over the entire Xia Kingdom.
"Evil beast!!!"
Huang screamed, his expression ferocious. The astonishing sword light he released was casually blocked by the five-clawed Heavenly Dragon.
Effortless.
Indifferent.
As though it felt no pressure at all.
"What a weak and insignificant human," the five-clawed Heavenly Dragon said, hanging in the sky like a god. Its eyes were filled with lofty disdain.
Its mouth opened slightly. Between interlocked dragon teeth, terrifying dragon breath surged and gathered.
"Meet death with your own race, humans."
"You, Huang Martial Ancestor, are not weak being able to fight me for so long."
It spoke calmly in human language.
The dragon breath in its mouth continued to condense until it finally spat out a terrifying light cannon that dazzled the world.
Despair.
A despair so thick it could not be described flooded Huang's heart.
The screams of countless dying humans, the cries for help echoed in his ears like a nightmare, making his breathing turn ragged.
His fists clenched so hard they trembled, stuffed with unwillingness.
He had obviously been reborn before the end, carrying his memories.
So why… why could he still not protect his compatriots?
Not willing.
He wasn't willing to accept this!
Huang's eyes turned bloodshot. His whole body began to tremble at an unnatural speed.
Boom!!!
An unimaginably violent explosion filled the space between heaven and earth.
The dragon breath containing terrifying power completely submerged Huang's body yet for some reason, the five-clawed Heavenly Dragon felt a deep unease in its heart.
Only Jiang Yi, watching from the shadows, showed an expression of "as expected."
The protagonist's classic counterattack… had arrived.
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!... Bang! Bang!
It sounded as if it had only just begun yet also as if it had been there all along.
At some unknown moment, the roaring heartbeat like a war drum had echoed across the sky of the entire battlefield.
All warriors and ferocious beasts who were fighting froze instinctively.
Along with it came a vast, noble, invincible qi and blood… sweeping across heaven and earth.
