Has the black dragon gone berserk?! Golden Dragon Austin barely managed to block Lance's [Flicking a Finger], and Hammond, seeing the black dragon's body swell to tens of thousands of meters, felt their eyes go black and their mouths taste bitter.

Austin felt the oppressive feeling that humans had to endure when facing dragons, Hammond understood how mosquitoes felt when he casually swatted them in the summer.

Because when faced with the black dragon, Austin felt like one of those insignificant humans he used to see, and Hammond felt that in the black dragon's eyes, he was probably just a mosquito.

black.

An endless expanse of black.

The oppressive feeling was too strong. If it weren't for their identities and their strength, they would probably have lost their will to fight the moment they saw the black dragon grow larger, just like those Source Beast that ran out of the Book of Wisdom.

Standing atop the Golden Dragon Austin, Hammond, holding the Book of Wisdom, looked at the Book of Wisdom with a page missing, his eyes filled with heartache.

To block the black dragon's Flicking a Finger, he instantly released dozens of Defense Array and also promptly used a page from the Book of Wisdom. That page was so powerful that even Forbidden Spell and low-level artifacts could not destroy it.

But the black dragon Flicking a Finger and shattered it. This was too serious; the pages were shattered, which was equivalent to the black dragon destroying the Goddess of Wisdom's divine object.

He dared not even imagine the uproar this would cause when it reached the Goddess of Wisdom Holy Mountain.

I thought it was a black dragon that I could easily handle, but it turned out to be a monster even more ferocious than a prehistoric dragon.

The Golden Dragon Austin was still attacking the black dragon, but his attacks were no longer able to cause any real damage to the black dragon, which didn't even bother to defend or resist.

He exhaled Dragon Breath, but the black dragon blew out a breath that extinguished his Golden Dragon breath.

He chanted dragon incantations and attacked the black dragon with magic. The black dragon allowed all kinds of magic to bombard its huge body. Even the dragon incantations that could flatten a small mountain could not leave a mark on the black dragon's scales.

Upon witnessing this scene, the Golden Dragon Austin broke down.

His strongest attack couldn't even break through the black dragon's defenses, so how could he possibly fight it? The black dragon's casual strike could directly deflect dozens of Defense Array and even pages of the Book of Wisdom, so how could he possibly fight it? He wanted to call his wife to come and see the monster again, no, he wanted to call his wife to come and fight the black dragon, and he also wanted his wife to call his father-in-law.

"Hammond, hold on tight! I don't believe I can't even pierce the scales of a black dragon."

"What are you up to?"

"I'm going to stab him with my dragon horns!"

After notifying Hammond, Austin flapped his wings and charged fiercely at the black dragon's massive body, his dragon horns serving as the best divine weapon.

Thump—

Austin, like a bull, lowered his head and rammed heavily into the black dragon's massive body.

The impact caused his vision to go black for a moment, and he briefly lost consciousness. His dragon body plummeted dozens of meters. Fortunately, he regained consciousness at the critical moment. What followed filled him with grief and indignation.

He was grabbed by the black dragon's enormous claws and mocked by the dragon, "Austin, your collision has made me itchy. May I borrow your dragon horns to scratch that itch?"

Upon hearing this, Austin thought the black dragon was going to break off his horns, but to his surprise, the black dragon used three dragon fingers to grasp his body, turned him upside down, and treated him, the Golden Dragon, as a tickling object.

He manipulated him, sliding him back and forth across the dragon's body. What a beast! He's gone too far in bullying a dragon!

Nothing could be more humiliating to a dragon than this! Hammond opened the Book of Wisdom again; he couldn't stand by and watch the black dragon humiliate Austin.

[Swish] After the sound of pages turning stopped, a large tree radiating a crystal-clear light flew out of the Book of Wisdom, took root in the void, and grew rapidly—one hundred meters, three hundred meters, five hundred meters, one thousand meters, three thousand meters, five thousand meters. Seeing that the tree was about to grow to more than eight thousand meters, the black dragon released the Golden Dragon Austin, whose pitch-black claws, like a curtain of darkness, seized the rapidly growing tree.

Lance looked at the towering tree that radiated a crystalline light, and a strange light appeared in his golden-red vertical pupils. This tree, which was growing wildly, looked just like the World Tree in mythology.

But the sensation from the dragon's claws told him that this was not the real World Tree.

The real World Tree could not possibly exist in the Book of Wisdom; the Book of Wisdom is too large to contain the legendary World Tree.

Is this a copy of the Book of the World? Whoosh!

As Lance gripped the tree trunk with his dragon claws, the tree's branches also wrapped around Lance's dragon claws and spread to other parts of his Lance.

As the branches spread up the dragon's body, the leaves on the branches collided with the dragon's scales, producing a metallic sound.

Lance used his other dragon claw to pluck at the tree's crown, and hundreds of leaves appeared in his claw.

When touched, it is no different from ordinary leaves, but when picked up and swung, the leaves feel like metal and are very sharp.

Just as Lance was about to put these leaves into the Diamond Cutter, the metallic leaves turned into nothingness one after another.

Upon seeing this, Lance froze for a moment, then his gaze fell on the still rapidly growing replica of the World Tree. These leaves would immediately lose their vitality if they were separated from the main tree.

It wasn't the real World Tree after all.

Lance sighed inwardly. At that moment, the branches of the replica World Tree spread through the dragon claws onto Lance's dragon body.

"It's not the real World Tree, what a pity. I thought I'd have a chance to gnaw on its World Tree."

With a casual mutter, Lance activated the qi and blood within his body.

boom--

A void explodes.

The branches of the replica World Tree that had spread onto Lance's body were burned to ashes by the boiling blood and qi within his body.

The golden Qi and Blood Power emanating from his body caused a new Golden Great Sun to appear in this area of the sky.

It shines with boundless brilliance.

The intense golden aura emanating from the blood caused Hammond, the Golden Dragon Austin, and even Melbourne and the evil dragon Kelong to subconsciously squint slightly.

Lightning Dragon Eileen Sophia also subconsciously turned their heads.

The black dragon's Qi and Blood Power Qi and Blood Power is incredibly strong?! Terrifying. It's a bit strange. Logically speaking, a dragon with a mate shouldn't have such abundant Qi and Blood Power. Yet, the black dragon's Qi and Blood Power has reached a level that even a single dragon couldn't achieve, resembling the "Pure Yang Body" mentioned in the War God Holy Mountain. Could it be that the black dragon is still single?

Sophia was astonished by her guess when she looked at the almost tangible blood and qi on the black dragon's body.

How... how is this possible? Dragons, once they reach adulthood, can enter their mating season at any time. Rumble—

The void trembled violently, and a scene that shocked Sophia unfolded: the black dragon, with just one claw, uprooted the pseudo- World Tree that was rooted in the void.

The pseudo- World Tree had grown to almost the size of the Black Dragon, yet the Black Dragon easily uprooted it from the void with just one claw. Although she could also deal with the pseudo- World Tree World Tree, she could never uproot it as easily as the Black Dragon. Hammond, holding the Book of Wisdom, was furious. The Black Dragon pulled the World Tree World Tree the void, but instead of throwing it away, it shook it violently a few times, glanced at the roots, and then stuffed it into its enormous mouth, which seemed capable of swallowing the heavens. The Black Dragon actually wanted to gnaw on the roots of World Tree World Tree World Tree and devour it.

How dare this guy?! He really ate it! The black dragon actually gnawed away more than half of the World Tree's roots, and then took a small piece from the remaining half and threw it into the void where the young dragon was.

The baby dragon instinctively caught it with its claws, and when it saw Hammond turn to look at her, it stuffed the small piece of World Tree root it had caught into its mouth.

While eating, they didn't forget to share some with Er Gouzi in the bamboo basket.

Kuku ate the tree root from the dragon's claw, and the young dragon finally realized, "Wait... why is she eating tree roots?! She's Imperial Daughter of the Farolyn Empire! How... how can she eat tree roots?!"

It's all Austin's fault.

If he hadn't been looking at her, she wouldn't have swallowed the tree root without even thinking, just because she was afraid Hammond would snatch it from her dragon claws. Er Gouzi's two dog heads also ate the small piece of tree root that the young dragon had broken off.

"Black Dragon, stop eating! Please, give me back the last little bit of tree root."

Hammond's heart bled as he watched the black dragon cub devour the World Tree root. His pain intensified when he saw even a Two-Headed Hellhound consume a section of the root, causing him to nearly faint on the spot. Fortunately, a small section of the World Tree World Tree remained in the black dragon's claws. At this moment, he dared not provoke the dragon, and could only humble himself, praying that the dragon would return the remaining section of the World Tree root to him—a genuine World Tree root!

It's not some fake World Tree root.

The World Tree placed in the Book of Wisdom was created when the Goddess of Wisdom cut a section of root from the true World Tree, nurtured it for an unknown period of time, and fed by the Goddess of Wisdom Holy Mountain, until it grew to a size of about several tens of meters.

Now, the black dragon has devoured most of the World Tree root, and even shared a piece with its cub. If the black dragon eats the last remaining section, the World Tree root left by the Goddess of Wisdom in the human world will truly become extinct. If they leave this last section of the root, the Goddess of Wisdom Holy Mountain, and feed it with some Spring of Life, perhaps they can cultivate another World Tree.

It would be a disaster if the black dragon ate it. If he had known the black dragon was so ferocious, he would never have risked releasing the World Tree from the Book of Wisdom.

Lance glanced at the last remaining World Tree root in the dragon's claw, thought for a moment, and then tossed the last remaining World Tree root to Hammond.

There's no need to go too far; just try it out.

He initially thought it was a replica of the World Tree, but the roots turned out to be real. And to be honest, the roots of the World Tree actually taste quite good.

"You taste good. Once you've grown up, I'll visit you at the Wisdom Holy Mountain."

Upon hearing this, Hammond trembled slightly. Was this guy planning to harvest the World Tree's roots like leeks? Right now, he didn't dare offend the Black Dragon, so he could only nurture the World Tree's roots within the Book of Wisdom.

Even the World Tree couldn't subdue the black dragon, which was tens of thousands of meters tall. The Book of Wisdom of Wisdom, however, contained many powerful divine artifacts. But since the black dragon returned the last small section of the World Tree root to him, he felt embarrassed to continue attacking the dragon. There was a divine mountain in the Book of Wisdom. The book described this mountain as a place where the gods had briefly lingered, and the gods had endowed it with divinity. When the divine mountain was removed from the Book of Wisdom, it would reveal its original form.

The black dragon, which is tens of thousands of meters long, is very large, but if the sacred mountain were to reveal its true form, the black dragon, which is tens of thousands of meters long, would probably not even be one-tenth the size of the sacred mountain.

If the Black Dragon hadn't returned the last remaining root of the World Tree to him, he was prepared to release the Divine Mountain to suppress the Black Dragon.

"Now, it's too much trouble to ask the Divine Mountain for help. Austin, Eileen, Sophia, Hammond, and the Nightmare Dragon Colon, come at me together."

When the Prehistoric Dragon Colon heard the black dragon challenge him to a duel, his eyes immediately turned ferocious.

This black dragon is too arrogant.

He actually thought he could take them all down by himself.

However, even if he joins the battle, he might not be able to defeat the black dragon in this state.

He had thought the black dragon was a phantom when it grew this big before.

After the battle just now, and the Qi and Blood Power emanating from the black dragon, he understood that it was not an illusion.

After growing larger, the black dragon's body was also genuine.

This is evidence that his strength would surge, allowing him to easily uproot the World Tree that was rooted in the void.

Even if he takes the opportunity to create a dream for the black dragon, he may not be able to control it.

"Black Dragon, I am not your opponent today. My battle with you will be postponed."

The evil dragon Kelong refused to join the battle.

The Bronze Dragon Melbourne had no time for anything else.

Such a huge black dragon, it's impossible to kill, completely impossible. Not naming it is really good for it.

Lance grinned maliciously, his gaze fixed on Sophia. "I was busy chatting with Lao Lai that night and didn't have time to talk to you. I didn't expect you to actually hit me. Let's settle the score for that night first."

The dragon's claws reached out and grabbed at Sophia.

Upon seeing this, several enormous cyan-purple lightning arrays instantly appeared on the massive dragon body of the Lightning Dragon Eileen.

One after another, enormous lightning swords shot out from the magic circle, heading towards the Lance claw that Lance had extended.

Seeing this, Lance spread his dragon claws and grabbed all the giant lightning swords that shot out from the magic circle. With a gentle squeeze, he crushed them.

Then he pointed a finger and shattered the Lightning Dragon Eileen's original thunder magic array.

He is no longer someone that can be subdued by a mere thunder array.

Today he's going to show the dragon cub what it means to "One Force Breaks All Laws".
