Just as the Fire Dragon opened its massive jaws to swallow the Golden Peng, a clear voice entered its ears.
Accompanied by the sound, Andrew appeared in front of the Fire Dragon as if by teleportation. However, judging from his size, Andrew was not even as big as the Fire Dragon's eyes.
"You lowly insect, what did you just say?" the Fire Dragon roared. The Saint-level Magical Beast could already speak, and their intelligence was no less than that of humans.
Andrew beckoned, Golden Peng landed on his shoulder.
"I said, you big lizard, you've gone too far!"
The Fire Dragon flapped its wings, filled with unprecedented rage.
"How dare you call the noble Dragon Clan lizards! You lowly insect, I will make you know the wrath of the venerable Dragon Clan, Ulysses!"
Andrew wasn't surprised at all. On the continent, the most narcissistic magical beasts were the Dragon Clan. They not only had a high opinion of themselves, but also looked down on other races. Although the Dragon Clan were very powerful, this power was only in the Material Plane. In the Higher Plane, they were nothing more than a dish on a dinner table.
No longer engaging in verbal sparring, the Fire Dragon suddenly charged forward, opening its massive jaws to swallow Andrew whole. Andrew remained motionless, waiting there, and was soon engulfed by the dragon's maw.
"Click!"
The Fire Dragon, exerting too much force, emitted a crisp sound from its mouth—the sound of its own teeth clashing together.
"Big lizard, you can't just use your mouth!"
Andrew, who had been swallowed by the Fire Dragon, suddenly appeared on the Fire Dragon's head. Just now, that was merely an afterimage of him. After his breakthrough in cultivation, Andrew's understanding of the Explosive Steps had deepened, and he had vaguely grasped the Shattering of Lightning Element Mysteries. Fire Element Mysteries these were High-level Profound Mystery, and their power was far greater than that of ordinary Low-level Profound Mystery profound mysteries.
The Explosive Steps, born from the combination of these two Mysteries, is undoubtedly powerful. With it, Andrew could be completely invincible in the Saint-level Realm.
Provoked by Andrew, the Fire Dragon became incredibly ferocious, and streaks of crimson flames appeared on its bright red scales. Soon, the hundred-meter-long Fire Dragon was surrounded by flames, looking like a small sun.
"As expected of Saint-level- level Fire Element magical beast, its innate ability to control flames surpasses that of most Saint-level Magus."
Andrew was protected by a hazy blue Battle-qi. Feeling the power of the flames, he admitted that he was inferior to his opponent in Fire Element magic. After all, he was also Fire Element Saint Magus, but he didn't know a single forbidden spell.
"Buzz..."
As the Fire Dragon unleashed its flames, its slender tail lashed out from behind. The force seemed to rip the air apart. The red scales on the tail stood on end, like barbs on a steel whip. Andrew had no doubt that even a mountain could be severed in two by the dragon's tail.
Faced with such a powerful attack, Andrew calmly raised a fist, and azure Battle-qi appeared on it. In an instant, his fist struck the incoming dragon tail.
"Such strength! I really couldn't have blocked it before!"
Andrew blushed, but quickly regained his composure. With a slight swing of his small fist, he actually managed to smash back the dragon's tail, which was dozens of meters long. At the point where the tail and his fist met, dozens of dragon scales Shattering, some embedding themselves in the tail. Dragon blood, capable of melting rock, dripped from the wound...
"Damn humans..."
The Fire Dragon knew at this moment that its opponent was not an ordinary Saint-level expert, but someone even stronger than itself. However, the inherent pride of the Dragon Clan filled its heart with anger, and there was no thought of compromise.
Andrew also tested his own strength and felt a sense of awe.
"After all, I lack the innate talent of bloodline. Even if I Fusion Battle-qi and achieve the Saint-level, my physical strength will still be far inferior to that of the Dragon Clan. Even after becoming a god and possessing a divine body, I will still be no match for those Divine Beast. In the future, even when I reach the Paragon, my physical strength will never reach the level of Sovereign Artifact..."
As Andrew pondered this, his thoughts drifted far away. In the brief moment of distraction, the Fire Dragon unleashed its innate magic, Rain of Fire. A deluge of flames descended from the sky, like a torrential downpour, their target being Andrew, who stood atop the Fire Dragon's head.
"A forbidden spell! Such a powerful fluctuation! Magic was originally simplified from the Laws by the gods to gather faith. Forbidden spells are the pinnacle of magic, containing relatively complete Laws. Through forbidden spells, one can deduce the Laws in reverse. The source of the Fire Dragon's forbidden Laws should be the Fire Element Fire Body Technique of the fire Mysteries."
In a short time, Andrew thought about many things, and only when the fire rain was about to fall on his head did Andrew come to his senses.
"You have forbidden spells, but I'm not afraid!" Andrew's eyes were resolute, Godslaying Saber suddenly appeared.
"Godslayer's First Move: Shattering!"
Just like his duel with Baird that day, the Godslaying Saber Blade flashed, silently slicing through space. The small Godslaying Saber carried immense power, and amplified by the Fusion Battle-qi, it transformed into a length of over ten zhang, fiercely cleaving the flames. Around the Godslaying Saber, a large area of space seemed to shatter, and all the flames that entered it were annihilated on their own.
This is one of the ultimate moves created by Andrew after comprehending the Laws of lightning and fire: Shattering!
The forbidden spell was also extremely powerful; Andrew shattered a sea of fire with a single strike, but later, a continuous stream of flames replenished it. The flames did not harm the Fire Dragon, but instead relentlessly surrounded Andrew.
One strike isn't enough!
Andrew understood, and calmly struck again. This time, his attack was even more powerful than before, extinguishing swathes of flames...
"Ultimately, magic is formed by communicating with magical elements through Divine Power. With the strength of my soul, I can directly shatter the Fire Dragon's Divine Power. Below the Deity-level, unless it's one of the four supreme rule magics like the Grand Prophecy, even the strongest single-target attack, the Wind Blade, cannot harm me!"
Andrew was very confident; in terms of Divine Power, he far surpassed any of the Saint-level.
Having dispelled the forbidden spell on the Fire Dragon, Andrew also realized its strength. Originally, he wanted to subdue the Fire Dragon, but now he was a little angry, so he decided not to hold back anymore.
"Laugh!"
The Godslaying Saber extinguished the sea of fire, and with a gentle swing, as if slicing tofu, it severed the Fire Dragon's head.
When it comes to physical strength, the Fire Dragon is among the most powerful magical beasts in the Saint-level Magical Beast. However, its dragon scales still cannot withstand the Godslaying Saber. The Godslaying Saber was originally a weapon of a Saint-level expert. After Andrew obtained it, he nurtured it with his Fusion Battle-qi, and now its power has increased several times over. In terms of sharpness, it is comparable to a divine weapon.
After killing the Fire Dragon, Andrew naturally wouldn't let go of the Magic Crystal Core and the Fire Dragon's corpse. From the Fire Dragon's corpse, Andrew extracted more than a dozen drops of essence blood. This was his target for this mission.
"After all, it's just Saint-level Magical Beast, and the amount of its essence blood is pitifully small." Andrew was somewhat dissatisfied. After thinking for a moment, he left again to begin searching for a second Saint-level Dragon Clan.
After nearly half a year of searching, Andrew killed about thirty Saint-level Dragon Clan in the Mountain Range of Magical Beasts and also subdued five giant Dragon. Andrew's reputation spread among the Saint-level Magical Beast in the Mountain Range of Magical Beasts, especially among the Dragon Clan, who wished they could devour him alive.
In retaliation against Andrew, a dozen Dragon once banded together and attacked Andrew. However, they underestimated him. Amidst Andrew's laughter, the Dragon were quickly beheaded. One of them, fearing for its life, decisively surrendered and became Andrew's prisoner.
From then on, the Dragon went into hiding, no longer daring to show their faces, for fear of being found by Andrew. Because of this, in the last two months, Andrew only found one Dragon.
"Looks like it's time to go back. These Dragon have either hidden themselves or migrated to other places."
Andrew was somewhat greedy, but looking at the five Dragon following behind him, he smiled again. These five were blood-producing machines that he had deliberately left behind.
" Golden Dragon, Lightning Dragon, Tyrant Wyrm, Black Dragon, and Triceratops are all powerful species among the Dragon Clan. I hope you won't disappoint me."
Upon returning to the Lance Duchy, the five Dragon caused a huge sensation. Even across the entire Yulan Continent, there were only a handful of dragon knights, each one a legend among legends. Andrew's sudden return with five Dragon shocked everyone and instilled even greater fear in them.
You must know that each of these Dragon is comparable to the Saint-level Peak-Stage in humans!
Andrew had no time to concern himself with these matters. After making some simple arrangements, he entered the magic tower. This time, he obtained nearly five hundred drops of the Dragon Clan essence blood, containing all seven elements: earth, water, wind, fire, lightning, light, and darkness. This would be enough to support his experiments for a period of time.
"What secrets lie within the fusion of essence and blood?"
Andrew tossed a drop of Fire Dragon essence blood into the mouth of a prisoner. This prisoner cultivated Fire Element Battle-qi and possessed a level seven strength. In Andrew's mind, fusing essence blood of the same attribute might increase the success rate. As soon as the prisoner swallowed the essence blood, Andrew released all his Divine Power to observe the changes in the prisoner's body.
"Ah!"
Before long, the essence and blood merged into the other's blood and dispersed with the flow of blood. At first, the prisoner showed no abnormalities, but after a while, his whole body began to turn red and hot, the muscles in his face gradually contorted, his mouth opened wide, and he let out a wail.
Under Andrew's restraint, the prisoner was unable to move and could only howl. Andrew's expression remained unchanged as he witnessed the horrific scene, showing no sympathy whatsoever; he focused solely on the changes within the prisoner's body. This wasn't out of heartlessness; in fact, given the crimes the prisoner had committed, such torture was already too lenient a punishment.
Half an hour later, the results of the experiment appeared!
