A Coming-of-Age That Shook Teyvat: Xibalak's Growth-Lifting a Thousand Jin at Five, Mastering Elemental Fuel at Fifteen, Challenging a Giant at Eighteen

"Dragon King?"

In the Douluo God Realm, a cold glint flashed in the Dragon God's enormous eyes.

He could sense the pure fire power that once emanated from the dragon, but now that power had been replaced by a more filthy and chaotic energy.

"The Abyss ..." Tang Wulin's face instantly darkened.

The Golden Dragon King Bloodline within him was stirring restlessly; he was all too familiar with this aura! It was the enemy he had once risked his life to fight!

A layer of frost settled over Gu Yuena's silver eyes.

As the Silver Dragon King, she could also sense the former nobility of the Fire Dragon King, as well as his current depravity and suffering.

"Even the Dragon King of the world has been corrupted to this state by the Abyss..." Niu Tian's voice was filled with anger and sorrow.

On their Douluo Star, the Dragon Clan is supreme, and the Dragon King is Deity- like being. Never before have they suffered such a tragic end!

On this land of despair, in a tribe's tent, a loud cry pierced the twilight Heavenly Curtain.

The image is in focus.

It was a baby boy, his body completely red. He didn't cry because of the apocalyptic scene around him. Instead, he opened his incredibly bright golden eyes and curiously looked at the world.

Most shockingly, he was emanating a faint golden light.

The light was soft and warm. Wherever it shone, the purplish-black Abyssal Aura emanating from the Fire Dragon King melted and purified instantly, like the first snow meeting the sun.

"Born with innate purifying power?"

God of Emotion Huo Yuhao, opened his Spiritual Eye to their fullest extent in an instant.

He could clearly "see" that the light emanating from the baby was essentially a life and light energy of extremely high level and purity!

"Born to be a god?" Lie Yan, the former King of Lie Yan and now the Godess of Kindness, murmured to himself.

She and Ji Dong exchanged a glance, both seeing shock in each other's eyes. The two of them, one a master of fire and the other a god of Fire God, had reached the pinnacle of their affinity for flames, yet they could sense that the infant's connection with the flames seemed to be... an innate Laws itself!

Rong Nianbing stroked his seven divine swords, his eyes filled with inquiry. "What astonishing talent! His affinity for fire has probably surpassed the elements themselves, reaching the level of 'reason'."

The images are changing rapidly.

At the age of five, Xibalak lifted a massive boulder weighing thousands of pounds on the banks of a lava river without flinching.

In the Light Screen, the red-haired child, under the astonished gaze of a group of adults, easily hoisted a huge volcanic rock onto his shoulder and even flashed a bright smile at the distance.

"Hiss!"

At the Shrek Academy, He Caitou gasped in astonishment, "Five years old? A thousand jin? What did this guy eat to grow up like that? His strength is even more exaggerated than Soul Beast!"

Xu Sanshi curled his lip. "Monsters appear every year, but there seem to be an unusually large number this year."

He glanced at Tang Wulin beside him, recalling how Tang Wulin's power was quite terrifying even in his childhood.

Tang Wulin remained silent, simply watching. A five-year-old weighing a thousand pounds was nothing to him, but for an ordinary child who had never undergone any systematic training, it was already the pinnacle of extraordinary talent.

"This child's bloodline is extraordinary," Tai Tan said in a deep voice. As the ultimate representative of power, he could see that the child did not possess mere brute force, but rather a perfect control over that power.

At the age of ten, Xibalak ventured alone deep into the heart of a volcano to hunt down an adult lava giant lizard.

The scene shifts to a smoke-filled cave where a red-haired boy, wielding a rough stone spear, confronts a giant lizard over ten meters long, its body flowing with lava.

The boy was agile, dodging perfectly each time, his stone spear always piercing the gaps in the giant lizard's scales from the most tricky angles.

It has no Soul Skill and no Martial Soul.

Pure combat skill and power!

Finally, with a roar, the boy grabbed the giant lizard's jaw with his bare hands, unleashing a terrifying burst of power that tore it apart!

Hot blood splattered all over him, but it only made the fighting spirit in his eyes burn even more fiercely.

"Such pure fighting instinct!"

A startling light flashed in Chang Gong Wei's eyes. As the God King of Light, he was also a top-tier warrior.

Each of the boy's attacks contained a kind of simple, unadorned combat wisdom.

"This... this is really something a ten-year-old child could do?" Xue Ye's face turned pale. Even his most elite royal knights would probably find it difficult to hunt down a monster of this level so easily.

Dai Hao's expression also became extremely serious.

He seemed to see a born warrior, a King born for war.

At fifteen, Xibalak sat in meditation before the Sacred Fire flame for seven days, perfectly mastering the Elemental Fuel; the flame in his palm was as docile as a lamb.

On the Light Screen, a fifteen-year-old red-haired youth sat cross-legged.

The air around him was distorted, and he drew out strands of extremely pure Fire Element from the Void, gathering them in his palm.

The flames, initially violent enough to Molten Gold and iron, gradually became more restrained and gentle with the youth's breathing, eventually transforming into a quietly burning golden fire lotus.

"Elemental Fuel?"

What is that?

This time, even Tang San looked puzzled.

"It's not Soul Power, nor Divine Power, nor simply elemental manipulation." Ji Dong stared intently at the golden fire lotus, his voice trembling slightly. "It's a feeling of... having the 'concept' of fire itself firmly in his grasp! He wasn't commanding the fire; he... was the fire!"

Lie Yan gently held her husband's hand, her heart equally unsettled.

This understanding of fire is beyond their comprehension.

Zhou Weiqing watched with immense envy. He possessed six attributes and had a profound understanding of the elements, but seeing Xibalak's control over fire, he felt like a novice.

"This kid is a genius! A peerless genius!" he couldn't help but shout.

However, the real shock was only just beginning.

[At eighteen, his coming-of-age ceremony. Xibalak, alone with his sword, ventures into Dragonsleep Valley to slay a fully grown dragon.]

As soon as he finished speaking, the whole world seemed to fall silent for a moment.

Slay... a dragon?

"He dares!"

A deafening dragon roar erupted from the Dragon God's mouth!

The terrifying pressure of the God King swept out, instantly turning the faces of the weaker experts around them pale, almost causing them to kneel on the ground.

"Presumptuous!"

"How dare a mere mortal draw his sword against the Dragon Clan!"

"Court death!"

The Dragon Prince, along with other powerful Soul Beast possessing Dragon Clan blood, such as Niu Tian, were all enraged.

In their worldview, Dragon Clan are supreme, and any mortal who dares to challenge their might is committing an unforgivable crime!
