The Ancient Giant Dragons coiled atop the peak stretched their necks and breathed streams of blazing dragon breath into the sky. Terrifying draconic might radiated from their breath, seemingly powerful enough to tear space apart.
Under the Ancient Giant Dragons' breath, the seven dazzling, iridescent gate-shaped wonders in the sky seemed firmly suppressed by that power. They shifted constantly, as though slowly sealing shut.
Of the seven Interwoven-Light Gates overhead, six were each guarded by a demigod creature. They seemed to be doing everything they could to resist the arrival of some ferocious creature. From their backs, Han Shuo could see the tenacity with which they struggled.
Only one gate at the edge lacked a demigod of the same caliber to hold it. A Fourth Rank golden dragon stood guard inside instead. There was no telling how powerful a creature he had encountered; all Han Shuo could see was his enormous body, reputedly the strongest among the Dragon Clan, thrashing within the gate and spraying blood.
Clearly, this Fourth Rank golden dragon could not hold back the creature inside that gate at all, and his body kept suffering injuries in their clashes.
