True dragons are among the pinnacle of mythical beasts.

Mythical beasts, upon reaching maturity, automatically transcend the Godly Barrier and become Third Level life forms. True dragons, as the pinnacle of mythical beasts, are born as Third Level life forms, thus bypassing this process of transcending the Godly Barrier entirely.

Once a human reaches the Third Level of life, they are called a true god. In the era of Gu Ding, true gods are almost legendary beings.

The dragon formed from the flames of Gu Ding was not a real dragon, but rather a projected afterimage of a dragon through the effects of "Burning Heaven." Even as just an afterimage, it was terrifying enough.

In the void, after the three Fire Python began to merge, the rate at which their bodies were growing rapidly slowed down, and the image of the true dragon gradually solidified, emanating a powerful pressure that did not belong to this world.

"Such a powerful technique must have originated from ancient times, or even the Primordial Era." Above the 1000th floor, the old man sitting in the recliner also changed his previous languid posture, sat up, and looked at the fiery dragon above Gu Ding's head with burning eyes.

There were no humans in the Primordial Era. Humans were born in the Primordial Era, and every human in that era was an incredibly powerful individual. Almost every newborn baby was a true god-level powerhouse, no weaker than the most powerful divine beast races.

After the Primordial Era collapsed, in the Ancient Era, the power of most beings paled in comparison to that of the Primordial Era. However, through cultivation, humanity was able to reach the power of the Primordial Era. At that time, humanity was the master of the Universe Sea.

After the destruction of the Ancient Era, through the prehistoric, ancient, and near-ancient periods, powerful bloodlines and genes gradually thinned out. Various Ming traditions were also continuously lost, and to this day, the number of true gods is extremely rare.

In this era, the most powerful race in the Great Universe Sea has become the weakest insectoid race from the Primordial Era. In the Primordial and Ancient Era, the insectoid race was simply a food source for all other races. They were at the very bottom of the hierarchy, possessing almost no strengths other than their astonishing reproductive ability.

But in this era, the Zerg, in the Great Universe Sea, see almost every other race as prey. And their favorite food is none other than humans. In the vast majority of humanity's battles in the outer realms, their adversary is the Zerg.

Seeing Gu Ding's move, many thoughts flashed through the old man's mind. Thinking of the unfavorable situation humanity was currently facing in the Great Universe Sea, he shook his head helplessly. He refocused his attention and turned his gaze back to the video projection.

Above Gu Ding's head, a real dragon gradually materialized. It was hundreds of meters tall, its power terrifying and awe-inspiring.

On the arena opposite Gu Ding, Scarlet seemed completely unaffected by the True Dragon's pressure; the blade of his longsword was completely stained crimson. After the sword changed color, a black projection hundreds of meters high slowly condensed above his head. As time passed, the black projection gradually became clearer, revealing a powerful figure shrouded in black robes, his entire head obscured by the brim of a hat. His face was completely hidden, only a pair of crimson eyes like lamplight were visible.

"Is this the Emperor Projection?!" Liliath couldn't help but look at Bigge and ask.

Bigge nodded. "It's Emperor Projection. His own swordsmanship isn't skilled enough to summon Emperor Projection. This projection was summoned with the help of that longsword, but it's still quite remarkable."

Bigge's assessment was undoubtedly accurate, considering he was a true powerhouse capable of summoning Emperor Projection.

Above the arena, both the fiery dragon and the Emperor Projection condensed from the void thrilled countless people.

Many people may never have the chance to see such a peak showdown in their lifetime, but they have now witnessed it, and some are even lucky enough to be there in person.

Above the void, the fiery dragon and the black-robed emperor materialized almost simultaneously.

The Flame Dragon's golden eyes instantly locked onto Scarlet, who was standing opposite Gu Ding, finally making Scarlet feel the overwhelming pressure like a tidal wave.

The black-robed emperor, beneath his hood, fixed his crimson Pupil Fire on Gu Ding instantly felt a chill of death rise from his back.

Meanwhile, Gu Ding and Scarlet also made their moves at the same time.

Gu Ding unleashed a punch, and the fiery dragon immediately opened its blood-red maw, spewing out flames as if capable of destroying the world...

Meanwhile, the crimson sword of the Scarlet Hand had already been thrust out, and the black-robed emperor's robes billowed, his black attire as if Night Falls...

The two were frantically vying for control of the arena, and in an instant, the entire arena space was transformed into half a sea of fire and half darkness.

As for Gu Ding and Scarlet's figures, they had been completely submerged.

The spectators could only see that half of the arena was stained black, while the other half was covered by three-colored flames. No one could see what was happening inside the sea of fire and darkness.

Those powerful individuals above the 1000th floor couldn't see through it, neither could Bigge and Elsa, and even the old man above the 1000th floor couldn't see through it.

Gu Ding was bathed in the sea of fire, his body completely engulfed in flames, yet this did not cause him the slightest harm; instead, it warmed him. It felt like basking in the sun on a cold winter's day, a feeling of complete comfort. Even the chilling gloom that the emperor had previously brought was completely dispelled.

It was unclear how much time had passed, but Gu Ding only heard a slight cracking sound. At the same time, the Scarlet shrouded in darkness coughed up blood. His divine source was ultimately not as abundant as Gu Ding's, and the duration of his Emperor Projection was not as long as that of his opponent's Flame Dragon. The Dark Emperor's projection gradually dimmed, and a gap was torn in the dark canopy that had originally occupied half of the arena, allowing flames to slowly seep in.

Gu Ding also noticed what was happening in an instant. He knew that he had won, ultimately relying on the profoundness of his divine source. Although his opponent was powerful, his foundation was far inferior to his own, and the strength of his divine source was not even in the same league.

As the first crack appeared, a second and a third followed in quick succession. The Emperor Projection atop the Scarlet head grew increasingly faint until, finally, it completely disintegrated.

After the Emperor Projection collapsed, the dark sky lost all support and was quickly engulfed by the flames. In an instant, the three-colored flames completely engulfed the entire arena.

His Scarlet, stained by the flames, was instantly disintegrated into granular form. When he opened his eyes again, he had been teleported to the area below the arena. His hair had also returned to its original color.

After the victory, Gu Ding did not continue to operate the Flame Dragon. The Flame Dragon gradually faded away in the void, and all the three-colored flames poured into the Soul Space within Gu Ding's body.

When the flames completely subsided, Gu Ding's figure was revealed, without a single burn mark on his body. After the three-colored flames entered his body, he clearly felt that the three flames in his Soul Space seemed to have become a little stronger.

Gu Ding was quickly teleported to the bottom of the arena and appeared next to Scarlet.

Scarlet didn't seem annoyed, but instead smiled and shook her head, "My foundation is ultimately not as good as yours."

"Would you like to join our team?" Gu Ding directly extended an invitation.

"Once you enter the Universe Sea, I want to have another battle with you in the Real World," Scarlet said, her gaze sweeping over Bigge and the others not far away. "If I lose, I will join your team. But you must promise me one condition: even if I join your team, if I ever beat you, I can leave at any time."

"No problem." Gu Ding grinned. He had won this time and was very confident of winning next time, so for him, it was basically a done deal that the other party would join his team.

Scarlet, however, knew it was unlikely she Gu Ding's team, because she was about to capture her second powerful sword spirit. After capturing that sword spirit, her sword intent would greatly increase, potentially reaching the second major level of sword intent, the Spiritual Affinity Realm, and her soul would also break through to the level of a deity. After the soul breakthrough, the resources she possessed would quickly allow her to elevate her physical body and divine source to the level of a deity as well, completely making up for her only weakness.

Gu Ding, unaware of all this, walked straight toward Liliath and the others.

After some pleasantries, the sound of bells rang out again from the sky, and the sweet female voice quickly returned.

"Congratulations to Gu Ding! You have successfully broken through the barrier of the 1000th floor expert, Scarlet, achieved an 80-game winning streak, and advanced to the 1000th floor of the arena!"

This news shocked many powerhouses above level 1000 who hadn't watched Gu Ding's match. Scarlet was already quite well-known above level 1000, and many powerhouses spoke highly of him. His Scarlet prompted many to immediately watch the match video.

At this point, all five members of the Gu Ding Team had achieved Eighty Consecutive Wins in the War God Arena and successfully broke through to the 1000th floor.

Reaching the 800th floor grants them direct access to the Universe Sea. For Gu Ding and his group, this means everyone passes and they no longer need to linger in the Great Boundary River.

Sea Emperor immediately steered the spaceship at full speed, hurtling towards the star system where the Reverse Dragon River Channel was located.

"Once we reach the Reverse Dragon Star Region, we can take a short break and replenish the ship's resources. The Reverse Dragon River Channel a very unstable space, so space jumps are not possible; we can only fly. I've calculated the travel time, and it will take about thirty days. During these thirty days, there will be no stopping points, so the ship's energy must be sufficient, and we also need to consider the losses caused by unforeseen circumstances."

"Looks like I'll have to buy a lot of ingredients." Bigge seemed to be in a good mood, as he could take this time to learn some new dishes.

"It's been so long since I've gone shopping," Liliath said, linking her arm with Elsa's and smiling happily.

"Thirty days, or a hundred days in Robert's domain, should give me another boost in strength." Gu Ding nodded, then Gu Ding. "Reverse Dragon Star Region, let's go!"
