"Roar!"
The dragon's cry shook the world, and its Dao shadow blotted out the heavens. The pitch-black True Dragon stretched across the boundless starry sky like a long wall of ink. Each scale was as enormous as a star, engraved with the dark true dragon great dao, unmatched throughout all ages.
This was the Demon Emperor's path to becoming a True Dragon. Beginning with the humblest, weakest bloodline in the world, he had advanced step by step toward the highest realm. With a single Demon God Flower and his own astounding talent, he had completed the most difficult evolutionary path to replicate in the history of the Shrouding the Heavens universe.
But now, this darkened True Dragon tumbled and hurtled through the starry sky, his black scales stained with blood and black light bursting from him. He seemed to have suffered an assault from some absolute power. His True Dragon body carved a vacuum corridor across countless galaxies before he finally steadied himself.
Meanwhile, another ink-black streak of heavenly light flew toward him from afar at tremendous speed. It was a Phantom Battle Spear as radiant as a galaxy, more dazzling than dragon pattern black gold, forged from pure Imperial Dao laws. Now, like an arrow capable of shooting down a True Immortal, it aimed straight for the dark Demon Emperor's brow.
Just before the Battle Spear struck the Demon Emperor, the Battle Emperor appeared. An iron staff of overwhelming might thrust out of the void and crashed into the Battle Spear formed from burial dao laws, seeking to block this near-fatal blow for the Demon Emperor.
"Bang!"
But the Battle Spear's divine power exceeded anything anyone had imagined. The Immortal Iron Staff had clashed with it for only a few breaths before the Imperial Dao Weapon began trembling violently.
