Chapter 235
I can't afford to mess with them.
Shen Xing even wanted to run away with his men immediately, but under the oppressive power of these two behemoths, he couldn't even move.
Not only himself, but also Leina, Hellscream, and the others beside him were all rendered unable to move.
"Kazdoreth... you're still so naive."
The blue-robed man chuckled, his azure eyes reflecting the Black Dragon Lord's image. A mocking smile played on his lips, "Ten thousand years, and you still haven't realized your own foolishness?"
Faced with the Blue Dragon Lord's mockery, Kazdoreth remained silent for a moment, seemingly sensing something.
Then, a smile gradually spread across His lips, "Maragus, you're not stupid, willing to betray your own kind to serve those bastards."
"But I see you're not doing so well either; you've even lost your physical body, leaving only a spirit here."
"Did those guys see you were no longer useful and then treat you like trash?"
"So, how does it feel to be someone's dog and then get kicked away in the end? Doesn't that really demonstrate your intelligence and wisdom?"
Hahahaha!
The Black Dragon Lord opened his maw and laughed rudely.
However, the Blue Dragon Lord below seemed completely unperturbed, his eyes filled with utter indifference.
"Yeah... it's really unpleasant to feel like you're being used."
He sighed softly, "To be honest, I've had my share of regrets over the years."
"But what I regret is not the decision I made back then, but that I couldn't have been more ruthless."
"Because I failed to gather the essence of the Five Chromatic Dragons into myself and become a supreme holy dragon, I have become nothing more than fish to be slaughtered."
"The root cause of everything is my insufficient strength, and the same goes for you."
Having said this, emotion and a hint of unwillingness appeared in his blue pupils.
But in the next second, He changed the subject. "However, this time, I have finally seen an opportunity, an opportunity that surpasses all previous ones."
"For this reason, I have waited here for thousands of years, and finally you have broken the seal."
"Thousands of years..." A look of reminiscence appeared in the Black Dragon Lord's eyes. "So that's how it is. Back then, I vaguely sensed your presence while I was asleep, but I thought I was mistaken."
Looking back now, you were already here back then.
Kazdoreth seemed to understand everything, and said in a daze, "Your initial goal was to seize my physical body and merge it with your soul, thereby enabling your own Rebirth."
"But because this seal was set up jointly by you and the green dragon Tirius, that guy is cunning and suspicious by nature, so he held back a trick against you, which is why you can't break the seal."
"Therefore... you chose to lie low in the Dragon Tomb and wait."
"On one hand, it's to restore my power; on the other hand, it's to let the seal wear down my will, isn't that right?"
The Blue Dragon Lord below raised his head, his gaze still indifferent, but now tinged with admiration. "Kazdoreth, you are a bit smarter than I thought. It seems your ten thousand years have not been wasted."
"Now that you understand, just cooperate obediently, so I don't have to waste any more effort."
"With my supreme magical skill as the strongest among the Five Chromatic Dragons, combined with your Five Chromatic Dragons physical body, I will return to my peak, even stronger than before."
"At that time, I will tear those bastards to shreds and banish their souls forever to the Astral Plane!"
"Let them understand the price of using the Great Blue Dragon!"
His voice grew increasingly deep and frenzied, carrying a strange magical resonance that caused the entire space of the Dragon Tomb to tremble.
Shen Xing, Xia Wanyin, and the others listened in silence throughout, and thus understood the whole story.
He couldn't help but admire the ambition and patience of this Blue Dragon Lord.
In order to seize the body of the Black Dragon Lord, he actually lay dormant in the Dragon Tomb for thousands of years, and even Kazdoreth and Shen Xing were manipulated.
"You want to seize my physical body? Not so easy." The Black Dragon Lord stared at him with his cold, vertical pupils. "I have already been unsealed; I can easily crush you with my physical strength alone."
"Heh... you're still so naive." The Blue Dragon Lord sneered, "You've been dead for tens of thousands of years, your will has long been worn away by time, and your strength is less than one-thousandth of what it once was."
"You were defeated by me even at your peak, do you think you can still resist now?"
The Black Dragon Lord responded just as coldly, "How will you know if you don't try?"
From His massive, mountain-like body emanated a heavy and ancient Dragon Might's might, pressing down on the opponent as if it were a tangible force.
"Ha... Overestimating yourself."
The Blue Dragon Lord sneered, then gently raised the staff in his hand, and a vast magical wave emanated from it.
At this moment, both ancient beings were unleashing their auras without reservation.
Terrifying physical and magical power collided and annihilated in mid-air, unleashing terrifying storms.
The mere clash of their auras was enough to overwhelm Shen Xing and the others.
If the Black Dragon Lord hadn't released a sliver of power to protect them, the Tier One orcs below would have already exploded.
Even so, everyone was in great pain at this moment, as two different forces constantly assaulted their bodies and souls, as if they were about to explode at any moment.
At this moment, the Black Dragon Lord launched the first attack.
He raised his jet-black dragon claw, which was hundreds of meters long, and brought it down slowly.
This claw strike seemed ordinary, even incredibly slow.
But upon closer inspection, one can see that wherever the claw passed, several dark cracks appeared in the air, and even space itself was torn apart by this claw!
Just as this earth-shattering claw was about to strike, the Blue Dragon Lord casually raised his staff, and a deep blue shield rose out of thin air.
"Click! Snap!"
The giant claw pressed down on the shield, as if it had collided with a barrier of the world, and countless cracks immediately appeared on the surface.
But in just a few breaths, the cracks were completely repaired, making it impossible to advance any further.
The Black Dragon Lord's vertical pupils narrowed, realizing that it was impossible to break through this shield in a short time, so it simply withdrew its giant claws.
Then it opened its abyss-like maw, and a destructive energy rapidly condensed in its throat.
"Whoosh..."
It was as if all the dark power of the entire mountain range was surging towards its throat, and that destructive wave solidified, causing even more obvious cracks to appear in the surrounding space.
Shen Xing also felt the terror of this attack and couldn't help but cheer for the Black Dragon Lord.
Old Black! Take down this hypocritical bastard!
For my reward, for my...
"Ban!"
A cold voice rang out.
In an instant, the destructive wave ceased abruptly, as if it had been forcibly erased.
The Black Dragon Lord his mouth, only to find that he couldn't even muster a trace of dark energy.
Shen Xing was also somewhat bewildered.
Holy crap, is this some kind of pervert?
Both being Five-Colored Dragon Lords, the black dragon's attack was easily thwarted by Him; the difference in power is simply too great!
"Maragus..." The Black Dragon Lord gazed down with a solemn expression. "You rascal, if you had properly utilized your magical talent, you might have been able to reach that realm, but you chose a wrong path."
"What is a wrong path?" the Blue Dragon Lord asked, looking up. "The right path is the one that allows me to grow stronger quickly. I only lost because of bad luck."
"Alright, this farce should end now."
"Kazdoreth, cooperate obediently and let me possess your body."
"Out of consideration for our shared kinship, I don't want to be too harsh on you."
"Hmph!" The Black Dragon Lord sneered, "You will not succeed. Even if I were to self-destruct, I would not grant you this traitor's wish!"
He said it, and he did it.
From within it, a destructive aura was frantically brewing, and black energy overflowed from the gaps in its scales, making its massive dragon body resemble a nuclear bomb about to explode!
Shen Xing even had reason to suspect that if it were to self-destruct, the entire Black Sky Wing Mountain Range, no, the entire Blackwing Plains, would probably disappear from the map.
This Old Black is a man of guts; he'll just throw himself into the fire if he wants to.
But shouldn't you consider that we're also here?
"Human... Before I self-destruct, I will open a spatial passage for you, connecting to a secret space that I personally created."
The Black Dragon Lord's deep voice echoed in Shen Xing's mind, "Inside lies the treasure and resources I left behind after a lifetime of hard work. Take your subordinates and hide inside. Come out when you are strong enough."
Shen Xing was startled upon hearing this, but couldn't help giving Old Black a thumbs up.
Brother Long, you're so loyal!
He was about to reply when the Blue Dragon Lord's deep voice rang out again.
"Trying to self-destruct? Did you even ask me first?"
A bad premonition suddenly arose in the Black Dragon Lord's heart, and he couldn't help but hasten the process of self-destruction.
Just then, the figure in blue robes gently raised his staff, the tip of which struck the ground.
"Buzz..."
Invisible ripples spread out from beneath their feet, instantly engulfing the entire Dragon Tomb.
In an instant, countless blue lines lit up from the shattered earth, forming an ancient and complex magic array!
The instant the magic circle took shape, everyone on the field felt a sense of weakness, as if the energy within their bodies had subsided and they could not use even a fraction of it.
Even the Black Dragon Lord, which was in the midst of self-destruction, saw the light emanating from the gaps in its scales vanish instantly, and the destructive waves ceased abruptly.
"This is... this is... that kind of forbidden magic array!" The Black Dragon Lord stared at Him in a daze, a rare hint of fear appearing in his pupils.
"Kazdoreth, do you think after all these years, I wouldn't understand your temper?"
The Blue Dragon Lord looked at Him with a half-smile, "Before me, you have no chance to self-destruct."
"Oh, right, I remember you also have a special forbidden combat technique, which I can't let you use."
With a gentle tap of his staff, the magic circle covering the entire Dragon Tomb suddenly lit up, and boundless magical power pressed down on Kazdoreth.
"Boom!!"
The Black Dragon Lord's massive body crashed down, as if carrying a planet on its back, landing on all fours.
No matter how much it struggled, it couldn't move an inch.
"Alright, now it's my turn to reap the rewards." The Blue Dragon Lord chuckled and gently raised his staff.
Streaks of black energy rose from the Black Dragon Lord's body and were all absorbed by the Blue Dragon Lord.
The former's life force was declining at a visible rate, while the latter's life force began to surge wildly.
"My power... my power is draining away..." The Black Dragon Lord widened his dark golden vertical pupils and asked incredulously, "Are you extracting the essence of my physical body?"
"That's right." The Blue Dragon Lord nodded. "During my time with those guys, I didn't come away empty-handed."
"Besides this forbidden magic array, there's also this method that can directly draw upon the power of origin..."
