"Tch, Heaven-and-Earth Manifestation? No wonder..."
Jiang Mian flipped through the skill information she had just acquired in her consciousness and could not help thinking of the changes she had undergone lately.
So this was the root of her Calamity Transformation?
It had all been laying the groundwork for this skill?
Fine. At least she had not completely turned into a calamity. That was still acceptable.
She had always adapted well.
As for the backlash from her calamity instincts when she broke through to the sixth tier, it seemed to have been directly suppressed by the power of [Eternal Day].
For the developments ahead to proceed smoothly, she had to deal with that thing first.
With a thought from Jiang Mian, her body was suddenly enveloped in a mass of shadow.
"Thump! Thump!"
The Shadow Cocoon emitted sounds like a heartbeat as it continuously swelled, quickly occupying the entire "Heavenly Path."
Then, an invisible tremor blasted the cocoon shell apart.
A colossal black-and-gold dragon stretched out its body and unleashed a dragon roar that resounded through heaven and earth.
Countless streams of Heavenly Momentum converged upon her with even greater ferocity, dyeing her scales a dazzling brilliant gold.
Jiang Mian's consciousness sank, and she returned once more to the space where she had faced the "Taiji Diagram" last time.
But this time, waiting for her was a pitch-black colossal dragon identical to her true form.
The instant she saw it, a surge of hostility inexplicably rose in Jiang Mian's heart.
It looked like... she needed to defeat it?
In the Central Mirror Domain, Gu Chengan looked toward the source of the dragon's roar.
Through the boundary of the domain overlapping with the real world, he could clearly see the golden dragon bathed in lightning, and his expression immediately turned grave.
