Silver Dragon Transformation

To evolve all things, to destroy everything, to merge myriad Daos, to remain invulnerable to all laws—this was the path Lu Wu intended to walk.

Just as he began his deductions, a golden-red creature resembling a lion suddenly appeared before Lu Wu. He recognized her as the Emperor Auspicious Beast Three-Eyed Golden Lion, the poor little thing whose fate had turned tragic after Tang San's influence in the original story.

Perhaps because they were both Auspicious Beasts favored by fate, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion instinctively felt that this little white beast before her would not harm her. Instead, she continuously sensed an intimate feeling coming from him.

Lu Wu did not mind the Three-Eyed Golden Lion approaching him. After all, the little fellow could barely be kept as a pet. What was wrong with a pet getting close to its owner?

"You smell so good!"

The Three-Eyed Golden Lion stared at Lu Wu with lively eyes, took a deep breath, and revealed an intoxicated expression.

Lu Wu knew that she had approached him because he was wrapped in luck.

Not far away, the Fierce Beasts watched the Three-Eyed Golden Lion converse with Lu Wu nervously. They truly had no idea how to interact with this unknown senior. Their usually revered lord had scarcely appeared before them, and this was the first time they had ever been so close to someone of such stature.

"Hm? You comprehended it? Not bad."

Lu Wu looked toward the silver-haired girl who had suddenly appeared by the lakeshore. A flicker of surprise appeared in his eyes before they returned to calm. What he had given the Silver Dragon King was a very... simplified version, but he had not expected her to grasp it so quickly.

"My lord!"

Sensing the Silver Dragon King's aura, Di Tian and the other Fierce Beasts seemed to find their backbone and hurried to her side.

"My lord, have your injuries recovered?"

Di Tian asked urgently. The Silver Dragon King's recovery was the hope that supported his continued existence, the motivation that had kept him guarding the Star Dou Great Forest for countless years.

"Almost. It is just that the Life Gold in that space has already been used up. Back then, in order to weaken the Asura Divine Power, I did not introduce any heaven and earth energy into it. I need to come out to heal my injuries."

After speaking, the Silver Dragon King shot Lu Wu a rather resentful glance. There truly was not a single bit left in that space.

Lu Wu did not care about the Silver Dragon King's gaze in the slightest. It had been a mutually willing transaction. Naturally, she had to come out of that shabby little room of hers.

The Silver Dragon King had no intention of going back on her word. It was simply that she had suddenly gained enlightenment at the time, and the bloodline within her body had surged and churned. A feeling of unimpeded clarity shot straight to the crown of her head. As a result, the energy remaining in the Lake of Life water she had previously soaked in within that space had been completely absorbed, yet it was nowhere near enough. The sensation of being blocked halfway made the Silver Dragon King extremely uncomfortable.

"Do not worry about the God Realm noticing. For a short period of time, the God Realm has no ability to observe the situation in its subordinate planes."

Lu Wu had already changed positions. His entire body was buried in the Three-Eyed Golden Lion's warm, soft fur as he spoke lazily from atop her back.

The Silver Dragon King's gaze narrowed slightly. After thinking it over, she ultimately decided to recover her injuries here. That cultivation technique had indeed surpassed even the Dragon God's understanding. A being of this caliber had no need to deceive her. It would be better to use this opportunity to earn more of his goodwill.

The Silver Dragon King rose into the sky. As a low, prolonged rumble sounded, the entire space seemed to tremble under an invisible force. An ancient and powerful aura slowly spread outward—the majesty of the dragon race.

Di Tian and the other Fierce Beasts dropped to one knee and saluted in the Silver Dragon King's direction, their expressions filled with excitement. This was the scene they had awaited day and night for countless years.

A brilliant silver light suddenly erupted, filling the entire Lake of Life in an instant. As the radiance gradually faded, the Silver Dragon King's body slowly emerged.

Her dragon wings, vast enough to Covering the Sky, gradually spread open. The scales upon them glimmered with an icy cold light, and a gentle flap alone churned the air into chaos.

The surrounding elements began wildly converging upon the Silver Dragon King, forming rings of different-colored elements around her body. They then drew close, collided, and merged, releasing deafening roars, as though heaven and earth were celebrating the Silver Dragon King's revival.

"Th-that is!!!"

Countless soul masters hunting Soul Beasts in the Star Dou Great Forest stared at the distant silver dragon that Covered the Sky and let out shrill cries. Having only just experienced the Day of Heavenly Change, they had already been unsettled. Now, they suddenly saw that silver dragon of unknown strength.

A hundred thousand years? A million years? Their minds trembling, the soul masters cursed inwardly and began fleeing this vast forest that people had entered and left for countless years.

"Brother Sky Dream, do... do you know what kind of Soul Beast that is?"

Huo Yuhao was being pulled by Bei Bei and Tang Ya as they ran toward the outskirts of the Star Dou Great Forest. While gasping for breath, he asked Sky Dream Ice Silkworm about the distant silver dragon through the Sea of Spirit.

"Yuhao, run! That is probably the lord those bastards kept talking about!"

Sky Dream Ice Silkworm could not spare any effort to maintain his so-called big brother demeanor. He hid in a corner, trembling, and even his voice quavered. Heaven knew how nervous he was right now.

He had finally escaped those bastards, then happened upon a spiritual-type soul master and had already sacrificed himself. Now, he had almost no ability to resist, yet such a massive creature had appeared. It immediately reminded him of the lord those bastards had constantly muttered about.

I am just a weak and helpless little ice silkworm. Surely even this so-called lord does not have to come out and catch me, right?

Sky Dream Ice Silkworm frantically prayed that the silver dragon would not come looking for him. At the same time, he took the chance to reminisce about his wonderful memories with Bing Bing. Even if he died, he could not die with regrets.

"Di Tian is already a Soul Beast with more than eight hundred thousand years of cultivation, yet even he calls that silver dragon his lord!"

Sky Dream Ice Silkworm continued screaming, but his words nearly made Huo Yuhao lose his footing.

Today had truly opened his eyes. He had nearly been killed by a ten-year Soul Beast, then encountered a million-year Soul Beast sacrifice, witnessed the terrifying Day of Heavenly Change, and now an unknown silver dragon had appeared. For a moment, Huo Yuhao did not know what to say.

As Sky Dream Ice Silkworm cried out, the gray bead seemed to awaken from his shouting. It flickered slightly before falling silent again.

...Lake of Life.

Countless elements churned restlessly, celebrating the Silver Dragon King's return.

Sensing the increasingly powerful aura emanating from the Silver Dragon King, Di Tian was nearly moved to tears. How many tens of thousands of years of watchfulness, how many tens of thousands of years of waiting? He believed that under his lord's leadership, the Soul Beast race would eventually welcome revival and rise once more.

Lu Wu narrowed his eyes at the Silver Dragon King. Though her aura was fairly impressive now, the injuries on her body had not healed. The next step would be the most critical one.

The Silver Dragon King was extremely excited. Though her blood rushed through her veins like scorching magma, bringing her the agony of being burned alive, she had already seen the road ahead—the path of true dragon transformation.

"Roar~"

A deafening roar rang out, and invisible sound waves continuously spread in every direction. The previously restless Star Dou Great Forest fell utterly silent beneath that pressure.

The Silver Dragon King continuously circulated the cultivation technique, absorbing vast quantities of heaven and earth energy into her body without end. Her powerful heart beat like thunderous drums, supplying energy for what came next.

The next second, the Silver Dragon King beat her wings and shot straight into the sky. The storm she raised did not affect the Fierce Beasts' viewing in the slightest; they merely wondered why their lord was doing this.

Lu Wu used his left claw to pull more of the Three-Eyed Golden Lion's back fur over himself, then extended his right claw and lightly slashed toward the sky.

A faint golden Light Gate, ethereal and nearly transparent, silently appeared in midair.
