The Transformation into a Dragon

Thousand-legged Dragon Centipede!

This monster stretched dozens of zhang long, its body covered in golden armor. Its many legs were like blades, and it resembled a Wicked Dragon coiling through the earth's veins, churning the wind and clouds.

"Hm? What a beast. It's already forged such a golden body?"

Seeing it, Gongsun Kunlun's eyes nearly bulged from their sockets. "Just how many people have you harmed with your unorthodox methods?"

Gongsun Kunlun formed a sword seal with his fingers. The seven flying swords suddenly converged in midair, forming one enormous sword.

"Slash!"

Amid the roar of the raging wind, the enormous sword descended from the sky.

A torrent plunged three thousand feet, as if the Milky Way had fallen from the heavens.

Sword Qi poured down like a surging celestial river, carrying an overwhelming force. It was going to slay the dragon with a single strike!

Clang!

The enormous sword struck the centipede's back with a thunderous crash.

Golden light burst forth, knocking the sword away. Fine cracks appeared across its surface,
