Deep within the dark, shadowy underground rock strata.
The Sky Mountain Earth Dragon's massive body slowly unfurled.
Though it had never shown the slightest interest in devouring the flesh and blood of living beings, and had never regarded Lu Yuan as food to fill its belly.
Even the most indifferent and mild-tempered creature possessed the innate dignity and bottom line of the Dragon race.
This was the dwelling where it had lain dormant and cultivated for years, the very doorstep of the home where it had quietly accumulated its strength through arduous training.
And now, a human ability user had taken the initiative to blast through the earth's layers and force his way into its territory in provocation.
If it remained unmoved, endlessly enduring and yielding, it would not only disgrace the Dragon race but also betray the hatred that had accumulated in its heart for years.
That was the most crucial part: deep in its heart, it had always harbored an extreme hatred for humanity.
When it was young and ignorant, it should have followed the mother dragon across the vast starry river, cultivating and growing freely.
Instead, it had been forcibly captured by powerful humans, imprisoned beneath the barren, deathly Giant Salt Star, and reduced to a tool for trials.
Years of sunless imprisonment, years of lonely and helpless dormancy, had long branded every human being with instinctive hostility and resentment in its heart.
Now, it had seen Lu Yuan personally, delivered right to its doorstep.
The fury and savagery it had suppressed for so long instantly shattered the shackles of endurance, and the hatred in its heart surged forth in full eruption.
It no longer watched with cold indifference. A flash of icy, vicious light passed through its eyes, and it had already made up its mind.
