The Barbarian Dragon's Remnant Attacks

Roar~~

A high-pitched dragon roar erupted, tyrannical and overbearing. It sent tremors through the soul while simultaneously stirring an uncontrollable desire for destruction, a craving to lay waste to everything in sight.

Primordial Savage Dragon!

The moment Jiang Yuan condensed the Primordial Savage Dragon manifestation, the creature's will, which had lingered in the world, surged back to life. It instantly flooded Jiang Yuan's sea of consciousness, intent on seizing his body.

"A centipede dies, but never falls stiff!"

Jiang Yuan remained calm. Even when facing one of the most powerful Fierce Beasts, he showed no panic. He possessed absolute confidence and did not fear the Primordial Savage Dragon's possession attempt.

Firstly, the Primordial Savage Dragon had long since perished; its residual will was weak, and its strength was likely inferior to his own.

Secondly, he was within the Sacred Temple, under the protection of Lady Nuwa, making it impossible for him to encounter any real danger.

Thirdly, he carried a supreme treasure—the Myriad Star Pot, a top-tier Innate Spiritual Treasure that guarded his Primordial Spirit. Unless the Primordial Savage Dragon could instantly return to its peak, Jiang Yuan could stand perfectly still and let it try to possess him, and it would still fail.

With so many trump cards, Jiang Yuan was naturally unafraid of the Primordial Savage Dragon's remnant soul. Instead, he observed it with great interest, carefully studying the Chaos Dao rhymes it carried.

The Primordial Savage Dragon was formed from the essence blood of a Chaos Demon God, placing it on par with an Innate Divine Being. The Dao rhymes it carried originated from the Chaos Demon God, containing the most ancient and primitive mysteries of the Great Dao.

Studying them, should he gain any insight, would be enough to benefit Jiang Yuan for a lifetime.

"The aura of the Hunyuan Realm!"

"To think that after I fell, the Primordial World would actually give birth to an existence of this level. One must know, many Chaos Demon Gods were only at this realm."

When its remnant spirit first revived, the Primordial Savage Dragon was ecstatic, believing its chance for resurrection had arrived. But as it entered Jiang Yuan's sea of consciousness and sensed that supreme Saintly aura, it was stunned.

How could this ant before him be connected to a supreme Saint? This made no sense!

Although the Primordial Savage Dragon's life level was high, comparable to an Innate Divine Being, it had died too early, and its potential had never been fully realized.

Thus, at the time of its death, it was only at the early Quasi-Saint Realm. In its era, it was considered one of the top powerhouses in the world.

But looking at the present, it could only be considered first-rate, not even a top-tier powerhouse, and certainly incomparable to a Saint—an existence it had to look up to.

"The era is always moving forward. Although you are a predecessor, you fell too early and missed many opportunities; you are already obsolete."

Glancing at the Primordial Savage Dragon, Jiang Yuan spoke. Unlike the later ages, where the world suffered repeated upheavals that caused new methods to fall behind the old, the cultivation civilization had been progressing steadily since the opening of the Primordial World, making the new methods far superior to the old.

To put it simply, at the same realm, those who practiced the new methods were absolutely far stronger than those who practiced the old.

Taking the Primordial Savage Dragon as an example, even if it were to resurrect now, it would be at the bottom of the Quasi-Saint Realm and would be unable to defeat a Quasi-Saint of the new path.

"Junior, I admit what you say has merit, but have you forgotten that I am not a creature of the Primordial World, but a descendant of the Chaos Demon Gods?"

"I know nothing of these 'old methods.' What I practice is the Chaos Orthodox Path."

"No matter how strong your new methods are, they were created by creatures of the Primordial World. How can they compare to the Chaos Orthodox Path I obtained from the Chaos Demon Gods?"

The Primordial Savage Dragon gave a disdainful laugh, unfazed by Jiang Yuan's words. It admitted that it had been startled upon discovering the Saintly aura within Jiang Yuan, but that was all. It had even seen the aura of the mighty Pangu; how could it be frightened by a mere wisp of Saintly aura?

It simply had not expected the Primordial World to develop so rapidly. How much time had passed since its death, and already a Saint had been born?

If the Primordial World were given more time, would it give birth to supreme existences comparable to the Chaos Demon Gods? If that were true, would there be any path of survival left for the descendants of the Demon Gods?

This was exactly what terrified the Primordial Savage Dragon. It had fallen too far behind and could no longer afford to delay. It had to resurrect as quickly as possible and strive to catch up to its former enemies to secure a glimmer of hope for its race.

"Pangu was stingy. He claimed to believe in the wisdom of his descendants, yet all the Innate inheritances he left for the creatures of the Primordial World stopped at the Daluo Realm. They had to create the subsequent paths themselves."

"But my ancestor, the Chaos Demon God, was different. He was not stingy with us descendants; the paths he passed down are all supreme orthodox methods that point directly to the Hunyuan Realm."

"How can the methods created by you, an Innate Divine Being, be mentioned in the same breath as my Chaos Orthodox Path?"

Before Jiang Yuan could speak, the Primordial Savage Dragon continued to mock him. This was psychological warfare; it intended to shatter Jiang Yuan's Dao heart, lower his mental defenses, and increase the chances of a successful possession.

It was not lying, either. The descendants of the Demon Gods practiced the Great Dao methods passed down by the Chaos Demon Gods. However, the creatures of the Primordial World did not practice the Great Dao methods passed down by Pangu, but rather the Heavenly Dao methods they had researched themselves.

The Great Dao was complete, while the Heavenly Dao was flawed. How could a flawed method compare to a complete one? Judging by the methods alone, Jiang Yuan had already lost.

"If the Demon God's methods are so strong and far superior to those of the Primordial World, then how did you lose back then?"

Jiang Yuan ended the debate with a single sentence. The Primordial Savage Dragon's defenses crumbled on the spot, and a terrifying Chaos Divine Flame rose from its body.

Its strength surged, its supreme majesty billowed, and a tyrannical aura swept out, relentlessly battering Jiang Yuan's mind, trying to incite the desire for destruction within him and drive him into madness.

The Primordial Savage Dragon knew Jiang Yuan had a treasure protecting him and feared that ordinary methods would not suffice. Thus, it went all-in, burning its very remnant soul to trade for a temporary, massive surge in strength.

It was a "succeed or perish" mentality. If the possession succeeded, it would live. If it failed, it wouldn't need Jiang Yuan to act; its remnant soul would dissipate on its own.

"The Dao has no high or low, only people have strength or weakness. To put it bluntly, you were just incompetent. Otherwise, with the advantage in methods, how could you have been soundly defeated by our predecessors and nearly wiped out?"

"And don't talk about the great Pangu being stingy. Facts prove that Pangu's choice was the correct one. You were all spoiled by the Chaos Demon Gods, which is what led to your crushing defeat."

Jiang Yuan was just as capable of psychological warfare as the Primordial Savage Dragon.

While defending against the dragon, he continued to output relentlessly, constantly provoking it in hopes of inciting its ferocity.

Jiang Yuan was not afraid of failing to deal with the Primordial Savage Dragon; he was afraid that it would flee. Therefore, he had to keep provoking it until it lost control of its emotions.

That way, even if it wanted to run, it wouldn't; it would be determined to kill Jiang Yuan at all costs.

"Emperor Xi manifestation, Ancestral Dragon manifestation, suppress it for me!"

With a thought from Jiang Yuan, the two great manifestations appeared within his sea of consciousness, one on the left and one on the right, blocking the Primordial Savage Dragon's path of retreat.

Then, the Myriad Star Pot hung in the void and slammed fiercely into the Primordial Savage Dragon's remnant soul.
