Destruction Ancestor? Radiant Dragon King, Dragon God's Companion Dragon

Inside the room.

Bai Yuan effortlessly released a wisp of his Core Flame will before sitting cross-legged.

A dark golden light spread from his palm, creeping silently along the walls, floor, and ceiling of the room, forming a thin, invisible film of light.

This is a habit he has honed through repeated practice.

All avenues for exploration were completely cut off by the Core Flame.

He lowered his eyes and closed them, his mind sinking into the depths of the Core Flame.

In the instant the space shifted, his figure landed in the new world inside Dragon Valley.

The entire space was more stable than when he left.

The twelve primordial Tai Tan laws above his head were operating silently, and the dark golden chains intertwined into a net, drawing the power of the dragon soul from all directions and reinforcing the spatial barrier again and again.

Each shift of light is like an unseen hand pressing and welding together the once-broken edges.

Dragon Valley Space... there shouldn't be anything to worry about anymore.

Bai Yuan withdrew his gaze and began to slowly walk along the path between the dragon bones.

When we came before, we had a clear goal: we took what we needed, finished our work, and left.

I haven't had a chance to properly explore what's hidden in this space that the Core Flame has captured.

The soles of his boots crunched over grayish-white bone fragments, and his footsteps stopped before a purplish-gold dragon skeleton.

That was his purpose this time.

That dragon skeleton was completely different from the other scattered bones.

It wasn't lying on the ground, but rather hovering quietly in mid-air.

Bai Yuan stopped and looked up at the floating dragon skeleton, his golden eyes reflecting a faint purple-gold light.

"... The dragon that is born alongside the Dragon God."

"The Radiant Dragon King."

The dragon skeleton was merely suspended in the air when the Dragon Valley space began to emit faint cracking sounds.

The countless dragon bones below trembled slightly, emitting a low hum.

It sounded like fear, like a mournful cry.

The skeletons that once supported the entire Dragon Clan Graveyard trembled before the remains of the Radiant Dragon King, like subjects meeting their king.

Bai Yuan stared into those empty dragon eyes, and their eyes met.

Deep within those empty eye sockets lay a dark, gloomy depth, devoid of any light, yet possessing a presence heavier than any radiance.

It's as if, even after countless years, whatever those eyes once gazed upon still dares not raise its head under the lingering power of that gaze.

"... This power is only one percent of the strength it left behind after its death."

"It's unimaginable how powerful he must have been in life."

Before the words were finished, the Dragon Valley space suddenly trembled violently for a moment.

Two purple-gold suns suddenly lit up the sky above the dragon bone, burning with brilliant flames.

The moment the vertical line appeared in the center of the halo, the two suns transformed into pupils.

Huge and bright, with layers of light, like two purple-gold fireballs rising from the void.

The dragon soul raised its massive head, as large as a mountain peak.

A colossal, purplish-gold dragon looked down down at the tiny human figure on the ground.

When their gazes fell upon him, the air in the entire Dragon Valley seemed to freeze.

I don't like you standing on top of me.

His voice was deep and resonant, carrying a sense of detachment that seemed to come from ancient times and have decayed with the passage of time.

There was no anger in those purple-gold vertical pupils, only an almost instinctive displeasure, like the first reaction of someone who has been disturbed after sleeping for too long.

Bai Yuan looked up at those huge, purple-gold eyes.

The dragon bone ground beneath his feet was still trembling slightly. His figure was as small as dust beneath the dragon head of the Radiant Dragon King, but he did not retreat.

He slightly curved the corners of his mouth into a smile.

Then.

The power of the Core Flame was released from within his body without reservation.

In that instant, a dark golden light shot into the sky, resonating with the twelve laws within the Core Flame Space. The entire Dragon Valley sky resonated deeply due to the rise of this will.

The moment the Radiant Dragon King's purple-gold vertical pupils touched that dark golden light...

It shrank back slightly.

The enormous purple-gold dragon head paused in mid-air for a few breaths.

Then, it slowly lowered its head a few inches.

"... Kid."

The Radiant Dragon King's voice was half a octave lower than before, and contained a hint of curiosity that it itself didn't even realize.

You are very different.

It paused, and a purple-gold light slowly flowed deep within its dragon eyes:

"I like."

Bai Yuan stood still, showing no extra expression in response to those words.

"... I came here not to disturb your slumber."

The Radiant Dragon King stared at him silently, his vertical pupils, like swirling purple-gold vortexes, devoid of any emotion.

Only the Destruction will that brings all things to stillness slowly and silently revolves.

But that sense of Destruction didn't linger after it swept over Bai Yuan.

"I know."

The Radiant Dragon King's voice descended from the sky, softer than he had expected.

"You also possess an aura of Destruction."

"I like you"

I won't touch you.

Bai Yuan looked at the pair of huge purple-gold vertical pupils, slowly exhaled, and then sat cross-legged beneath the floating purple-gold skeleton.

"Shall we talk?"

"Then I'll get straight to the point."

"You have been dormant in Dragon Valley for more than a million years; your power and wisdom have slowly faded with time."

It's a pity that the Dragon King, the first Dragon King under the Dragon God, disappeared from the world.

He paused, then raised his voice slightly.

"I would like to invite the Radiant Dragon King to accompany me. The Dragon Soul will become my Seventh Soul Ring."

His purplish-gold vertical pupils narrowed slightly.

The Radiant Dragon King remained silent, but the light in his eyes, suspended high above, seemed to solidify slightly.

"You should have seen my capabilities."

Bai Yuan continued speaking, his tone steady, each word grounded in reality.

He raised his eyes to meet those deep, purple-gold pupils directly in his gaze.

"Even without Divine Realm, I will still become a god."

"At that time, we will take revenge on that Asura God together."

"Kill all those hypocritical gods!"

The last sentence remained unspoken.

Like a heavy iron ingot falling into a deep pool, creating ripples in layers.

The Radiant Dragon King's vertical pupils dilated slightly by half a degree in that instant.

A purple-gold light emanated from the depths of his pupils.

It was as if some emotion that had been dormant for too long was gently stirred by the words "Asura God King".

It remained silent for several breaths.

"... The Vengeful Asura God."

"To wash away the shame of the dragon race."

"That's a very tempting offer."

"But does the Dragon God consider me a member of the dragon race?!"

"That idiot!!"

Its voice carried a rare, almost greedy warmth:

"That old senile Dragon God, what he said about the Power of Destruction being uncontrollable."

He decided to execute me personally.

Hahahaha!

That's incredibly stupid!

Does it deserve to be Dragon God?

What utter nonsense about unparalleled wisdom!

A chilling light flashed in those purple-gold vertical pupils:

"If I had been there in that war, we would never have lost."

"We will be the ones to rule the Divine Realm in the future."

Bai Yuan listened to the increasingly warm words of the Radiant Dragon King, his golden eyes reflecting a purple-gold light, the corners of his mouth curved slightly:

"It seems the Radiant Dragon King is interested in cooperation?"

The moment the words left his mouth, the Radiant Dragon King's voice suddenly turned cold.

"Cooperate?"

A disdainful laugh descended from above:

"I am a noble dragon, the Ancestor of Destruction."

"As everyone knows, humans and dragons are not meant to be."

"I will never be your vassal."

Bai Yuan looked up at it, his golden eyes showing no surprise.

He simply waited quietly for the Radiant Dragon King to finish his last sentence, then slightly curved the corners of his mouth into a smile.

"To be honest, you're the vessel for my Destruction."

"If this dimension didn't exist, you wouldn't be qualified!"
