Beneath the clear blue sky, a silver vicious dragon nearly fifteen meters long with a wingspan of almost thirty meters circled through the air, engaged in a fierce battle with a human figure.
The silver vicious dragon roared as terrifying bolts of lightning shot wildly from its mouth. Thunder rumbled across the heavens, deafeningly loud, while a web of dreadful lightning covered the sky with overwhelming force.
Meanwhile, Winged Dragon Holy Fire poured forth without end. The blazing sacred flames seemed capable of burning even the void to ash, turning the entire sky into a sea of fire as a terrifying aura spread in every direction.
Under the scorching torrent of Winged Dragon Holy Fire, the ghostly black mist surrounding the mysterious figure finally dispersed, revealing her true appearance.
Her long black hair fluttered in the wind like a waterfall. Her curvaceous body was exposed, while her nearly transparent black dress accentuated her full breasts, slender waist, rounded hips, long jade-like arms, and snow-white skin, lending her an utterly bewitching allure. She truly possessed beauty capable of toppling all living beings.
Yet the most eye-catching feature was the pair of pitch-black wings growing from behind her graceful, alluring body. The black wings emitted waves of ghostly radiance, their powerful energy rippling through the air and annihilating every bolt of lightning and raging flame that struck her.
She was a female Fallen Angel!
The Fallen Angel's combat strength was unmatched. Though she was locked in fierce battle, her movements remained incomparably elegant. In one slender hand, she held an enormous energy sword nearly ten meters long. Her fighting stances flowed seamlessly together as black mist drifted around her, sword light flashed, and brilliant, blazing divine radiance illuminated the entire sky.
Although the silver vicious dragon was massive and possessed extraordinary divine abilities, the Fallen Angel's combat techniques were simply too superb. No matter what divine ability the silver vicious dragon unleashed, she effortlessly shattered it with her giant sword.
Gradually, the balance of victory began to tip. The silver vicious dragon was ultimately no match for the Fallen Angel and was slowly forced above Dragon Island.
Bai He knew that although it was a winged dragon—the only dragon race in the Realm of Longevity whose divine abilities had not been sealed—once it was knocked onto Dragon Island, it would still be suppressed by the divine monument that descended from the heavens. From then on, it would permanently lose its divine abilities and become a savage dragon with more beastly nature than divinity.
As though it sensed the immense danger of stepping into an abyss, the silver vicious dragon began roaring without pause. In the end, it transformed into human form, stirring up streams of divine light and rolling clouds across the sky as it tried to flee from the Fallen Angel.
But unfortunately, it was still intercepted by the Fallen Angel. With a single slash, she wounded its dragon wing, and when its dragon body was struck by a vast expanse of black ghostly light, the silver vicious dragon returned to its original form and fell onto Dragon Island amid furious, alarmed roars.
"Alas!"
Bai He shook his head. He knew that this winged dragon was finished.
Yet as he watched the winged dragon slowly fall onto Dragon Island, Bai He suddenly recalled that not long after the winged dragon fought the Fallen Angel and fell onto Dragon Island, Xiao Chen had encountered it.
That meant that if he hurried toward where the winged dragon had fallen, he might be able to meet Xiao Chen again.
Bai He thought to himself.
Bai He undoubtedly felt immense respect and gratitude toward Xiao Chen. When he had been at his weakest and most helpless, Xiao Chen had aided him without asking for anything in return. It was also because Xiao Chen had given him a dragon egg that he had ultimately become who he was today.
In the original story, Xiao Chen's situation on Dragon Island at this time was far from good. Bai He wanted to hurry over and reunite with Xiao Chen as soon as possible. From then on, master and disciple could join forces, sweep through all enemies, and dominate Dragon Island!
Moreover, Bai He had a little over three weeks left in the Realm of Longevity. During that time, he wanted to evolve his Dragon Transformation Divine Power to its utmost limit, but that would undoubtedly require a great number of dragon eggs or Dragon Crystals. Obtaining such things alone would be difficult, so Bai He immediately thought of working as a group.
Master and disciple could both be considered experienced egg thieves... no! Egg gatherers! And with the Three Kings of the Yin Palace from the original story, they should be able to steal quite a few dragon eggs.
Although Xiao Chen also needed dragon eggs, so many savage dragons lived on Dragon Island that there were surely plenty of eggs. There should be enough for master and disciple to divide between themselves. Mm... yes, that was right!
Once he had made up his mind, Bai He acted. After noting the direction in which the winged dragon had fallen on Dragon Island, he leaped directly out of the cave entrance.
After undergoing another transformation, the dragon blood within Bai He had become exceptionally concentrated and had formed complete Divine Ability Seal Script. Thus, even in his normal state, Bai He could now use Summoning Wind and Rain and the divine ability Overturning Rivers and Seas.
It was simply that compared to his dragon transformation and Hidden Dragon Transformation state, the power of those divine abilities differed.
Standing atop the azure sea, Bai He slowly activated Overturning Rivers and Seas. Huge waves immediately rose across the surface, and Bai He rode the surging billows toward the place on Dragon Island where the winged dragon had fallen.
Along the way, Bai He stood atop the towering waves, his eyes fixed straight ahead. Vaguely, a series of enormous dragon roars suddenly echoed from afar. Bai He turned to look.
On the distant horizon, a silver vicious beast as large as a mountain thrashed and roared in the sea. Its colossal body churned up towering waves, while its eight giant arms and dragon tail moved together, tearing several Giant Ships to pieces with unstoppable force.
"Looks like more and more people from the Realm of Longevity are traveling to Dragon Island."
After tearing apart several Giant Ships, the Eight-Armed Evil Dragon roared again before diving into the sea. Looking at the wreckage of Giant Ships drifting everywhere atop the enormous waves, Bai He could not help muttering to himself.
Bai He rode the waves at great speed and soon reached Dragon Island's shore. However, he had not landed on a beach, but on a tidal flat covered in dense mangroves.
The mangroves were not tall. On the contrary, they were somewhat short. Yet all of them shared several traits: their branches were thin, their growth lush, and their distribution dense.
The ground beneath the mangroves was littered with fallen branches and dead leaves. Soaked by seawater, they had long since decayed, emitting a nauseating stench of rot.
If Bai He were still as he had been before, without having obtained dragon essence, relying on physical strength alone to cross this mangrove forest would have been difficult.
But after gaining dragon essence, Bai He could use it to lighten his body. Rather than crossing the tidal flat below, he could move through the mangrove forest by stepping across branch after branch, undoubtedly avoiding a great deal of trouble.
Bai He slowly circulated the dragon essence within his Zhongting Acupoint. Instantly, he felt his body grow much lighter. Then he sprang into the air, quickly stepping across one slender branch after another as though riding clouds and mist, and before long he had passed through the dense mangrove forest.
After passing through the mangroves, the ground beneath his feet gradually became dry and firm. Tall trees began appearing around him one after another. He had entered the Primeval Forest around Dragon Island's outskirts.
The dense Primeval Forest was filled with towering ancient trees. Thick leaves interwove overhead, blocking the blazing sunlight and casting patches of mottled shadows across the ground.
Bai He moved cautiously through the forest. Since he had no idea how many people had arrived on Dragon Island during the time he had spent cultivating in the cave, he was especially vigilant.
Suddenly, as though he had spotted something, Bai He hurried behind a towering tree and cautiously peeked out from its side. There was actually a person standing not far away!
