"Why has my brother's aura suddenly swelled up so much?" Bradley pointed to Gustavo below.
"He's about to break through!" A hint of worry appeared in Spider Mom's emerald eyes.
"The little guy has a lot of guts!" Sylvain more gratified. His second son was even more outstanding than he had imagined. He was both cautious and brave, with the heart of a tiger and the gentle touch of Rose. It was truly admirable.
Turning to look at his wife, Sylvain reassured her, "Don't worry, Gustavo has a very strong foundation. As long as the driving force is strong enough, breaking through shouldn't be a problem."
As he spoke, Spider Dad tossed the bottle containing the True Dragon Origin Blood to Gustavo's head, where it poured out molten, golden blood.
A rich aura of True Dragon permeated the air, and for Gustavo, it was like being starved for more than ten days and suddenly having a table full of delicious food appear before him—the temptation was overwhelming.
Struggling to straighten his body, Gustavo also dispelled the disguise effect of the Illusory Light Mask. Instantly, a huge, ferocious beast appeared, its gaping maw full of fangs opening to swallow all the True Dragon Origin Blood. But that wasn't all; Gustavo then took out a jade-green crystal.
Dragon Marrow Crystal, from the Golden-Scaled Beast Wotu, a condensed essence of the resurrected dragon.
He swallowed it whole, and the power of two True Dragon erupted within his body.
The next moment, the talent ability called [Dragon Devouring] was activated!
In a daze, Gustavo felt as if he had arrived in a vast starry Starry Sky, where countless True Dragon roamed. It seemed to be a paradise for the Dragon Clan, but soon, as his vision rose, Dragon-Hunting Spider came into view.
These ferocious creatures lay atop the dragons, their eight eerie green eyes drooling as they watched the horde below. Every now and then, they would use translucent spider silk to ensnare one of the dragons, crunching and chewing away, scales and flesh flying everywhere. The scene was both bloody and alluring!
As my field of vision shifted, images of various creatures hunting True Dragon flooded my mind. After an unknown amount of time, my gaze dipped downwards, and a message appeared in my mind.
After Gustavo read it, his eyes widened in surprise, and he finally understood why the Dragon-Hunting Spider was called that.
As everyone knows, the True Dragon Clan is one of the most powerful Transcendent races in the Astral Realm, their entire bodies are treasures: dragon scales, dragon bones, dragon blood, dragon souls, dragon whips...
There are many races in the Astral Realm that feed on the Dragon Clan, so why is it that only the Mitrola Clan is called Dragon-Hunting Spider?
The reason lies in this [Dragon Devouring] talent.
Dragon Devouring can fundamentally enhance its development potential by Dragon Devouring; in other words, it purifies its bloodline.
If a Dragon-Hunting Spider eats enough True Dragon, its bloodline level can even be raised to the level of God Race.
That's right, it's the God Race!
The prerequisite is that you eat enough!
Upon advancing to Legendary, the Dragon Devouring Talent undergoes a transformation, enabling it to directly devour the Law of Dragons.
Due to the power of the True Dragon Clan, the Astral Realm has even developed its own laws of power unique to dragons. In short, even if the Dragon Clan in this world were to perish, the Astral Realm's rules would automatically give birth to a new Dragon Clan.
That's just how outrageous it is.
Therefore, every True Dragon must possess the Law of Dragons. However, before breaking through to the Legendary, the power of this law is dormant, and it will automatically activate when it reaches the Legendary level.
The Legendary Dragon-Hunting Spider, through its [Dragon Devouring] talent, can devour True Dragon and directly refine the Law of Dragons to perfect its own Sanctuary.
In short, for the Dragon-Hunting Spider, eating dragons makes it stronger and enhances its bloodline!
This is no longer a natural counter; the existence of the Dragon-Hunting Spider Clan is like a weapon created specifically to counter True Dragon by some being.
His thoughts wandered, and Gustavo made many connections. After a long while, he shook off the distracting thoughts and focused intently on absorbing the ever-increasing power within his body.
The immense True Dragon essence was devoured, and under the Dragon Devouring Talent, it transformed into an extremely peculiar power, rapidly repairing the strength of his soul and body, and fundamentally enhancing his potential and foundation.
Before long, Gustavo recovered to his full strength. But that wasn't all. His aura soared like a rocket until it touched the barrier known as the Sanctuary!
Inside the Lava cave, a blazing red light filled the air, casting a ferocious and enormous beastly shadow on the wall. As time passed, this shadow was rapidly expanding at a speed visible to the naked eye.
The bone spurs grew thicker and sharper, the exoskeleton's color a deep, restrained black, like a high-strength alloy. Within the bulging muscles, dense blood vessels flowed blood with temperatures comparable to the earth's core Lava. The gaping maw's razor-sharp teeth seemed capable of tearing the sky apart. Most terrifying of all were the eight blade-like feet, their serrated edges gradually tinged with a halo of soul light. This signified that from now on, Gustavo's close-quarters attacks would possess the ability to directly tear apart the souls of his prey.
Terrifying, horrible, barbaric!!
Mora and Bradley could hardly believe that the behemoth before them was their own brother, born with them. They hadn't even reached the High-Rank Transcendent yet, while Gustavo had already ascended to the Legendary. Judging by this, even among the Legendary, he must be quite formidable.
After an unknown amount of time, accompanied by a domineering aura soaring into the sky, Gustavo's breakthrough was finally completed. The unique spirit of Legendary life form spread out, as if announcing his arrival to the Astral Realm.
