The Red Dragon Lord, a Deal with the Red Sand World (Continued)

The Two Worlds Leaderboard have concluded, with over three hundred powerful individuals from Blue Star entering the top one thousand. They will represent the entire world in the battle.

The names, rankings, and past achievements of these top fighters were continuously displayed on the large screen.

Each of them has gained a large following, and some countries have even declared them national heroes, sparking a frenzy throughout society.

At that moment, the screen flashed and switched to images of leaders from various countries.

They launched a global live broadcast and publicly apologized to Heavenly Star Nation at a press conference.

They not only admitted to the crimes they had committed against Heavenly Star, but also promised to provide sufficient compensation and guarantee that they would never target Heavenly Star again.

Upon hearing the words of these national leaders, the people watching the live broadcast were immediately in an uproar!

Most of them were unaware that various countries had been secretly suppressing Heavenly Star, which explained why their own country's news media had been broadcasting negative news about Heavenly Star for so long.

What surprised them even more was that these national leaders actually brought this matter to the forefront, and even publicly acknowledged and apologized for it.

Isn't this tantamount to slapping yourself in the face?

They didn't know what had happened, only that from now on, the landscape of Blue Star might be about to change drastically.

Heavenly Star Nation also accepted apologies from various countries during the live broadcast.

He also stated that Blue Star is currently facing an unprecedented crisis, and that everyone should put aside personal grudges and work together to overcome the difficulties.

This response truly demonstrates the demeanor of a major power.

It garnered praise from countless people around the world and refreshed their previous impressions of Heavenly Star.

However, some people could tell that Heavenly Star must have reached some kind of agreement with these countries, otherwise it would never have accepted the apology so easily.

But in any case, today's Blue Star is temporarily united in the face of a common crisis.

This is a historic moment unprecedented since the dawn of human Civilization!

On the other side, in the Land of Mist.

The massive volcano spewed forth thick smoke, and lava gushed from its crater, turning an area spanning tens of kilometers into a fiery inferno.

At the foot of the mountain, a red-haired black man, carrying a lantern, carefully climbed upwards, wading through knee-deep lava.

After more than half an hour, he finally reached the top of the volcano.

At that moment, he gazed at the boiling crater below, a hint of awe flashing in his eyes.

Then he leaped into the air.

"Call--"

Visibility plummeted, heat filled the air, and a terrifyingly high temperature scorched beneath our feet.

However, when he fell to the bottom, the scene of sinking into the lava that he had imagined did not appear.

The surroundings were completely dark, not even a spark could be seen, as if we had fallen into an endless abyss.

The red-haired Black man showed no sign of panic, as if he were already used to it.

A moment later, he placed the lantern in front of him, slowly knelt down, and pressed his forehead against the ground.

"My lord, I have important news to inform you."

His voice sounded incredibly devout, like a believer calling upon his master.

There was no response from any direction; all remained dark.

Just then, a burst of intense heat suddenly surged forth, as if a burning planet was rapidly approaching!

The terrifying heat turned his skin bright red, and all the moisture in his body evaporated rapidly.

But the red-haired man remained kneeling devoutly on the ground, his body not swaying at all.

"Buzz--"

A single, crimson vertical pupil suddenly shone brightly in the darkness.

The pupil was enormous; the red-haired man appeared as small as an insect before it.

What do you want with me?

The deep voice seemed to emanate from the depths of magma, carrying a hazy yet scorching sense of majesty.

The red-haired black man raised his head and said devoutly, "Great monarch, I have found the 'Sacred Image' you spoke of."

"He possesses power similar to mine, suggesting he may have absorbed the essence of a dragon, and not just one kind of essence."

Upon hearing this, the crimson vertical pupil narrowed slightly, and it murmured, "More than one origin..."

"It seems he is the one I sensed some time ago, the one who devoured the essence of Maragus..."

"According to the Sacred Dragon Prophecy, this person will inherit the essence of the Five Chromatic Dragons and become the new ruler of our dragon race."

"Snort--!"

He exhaled a scorching breath and said disdainfully, "The Five Chromatic Dragons are born noble; even gods are not qualified to be our masters."

"Moreover, what about a Xiao Xiao human being?"

Below, Conrad lowered his head again, not daring to utter a word.

"Do you know this person's location?" The crimson vertical pupils stared at him.

"I know," Conrad replied in a low voice, "Right on the Blackwing Plains, a thousand miles away."

"Blackwing Plains..." The voice in the darkness pondered for a moment, "As far as I know, that seems to be the place where Tilaus and Maragus sealed Kazdoreth..."

"So... Kazdoreth chose a mortal, is that right!?"

"Hmph! This piece of trash is truly unworthy of being called the Dragon Clan's number one physical body. No wonder he was outmaneuvered by those two!"

His anger intensified again, like a volcano about to erupt!

Conrad, who was lying prostrate on the ground, felt as if his heart was being squeezed by a burning hot hand, as if it would explode at any moment!

But he still dared not make the slightest movement, and simply knelt respectfully in place.

A moment later, the scorching heat subsided, and the crimson vertical pupils looked at him again.

"My servant, do you wish to replace this person and become the new Dragon Lord?"

"I wouldn't dare!" Conrad quickly replied.

"Dare not?" The crimson vertical pupils blinked, and he sneered, "Then why did you come here to find me, and even specifically mention his location?"

"Isn't it just that you want me to come out of seclusion and help you deal with this person?"

Conrad froze, then quickly replied, "Your Majesty is wise! I do indeed wish to deal with this man, but I have absolutely no intention of using you!"

"I just feel that this person is unworthy of possessing the essence of two Five Chromatic Dragons."

"If you were to seize it and present it to a great monarch, it would surely elevate your power to a new level!"

Upon hearing this explanation, the crimson vertical pupil narrowed slightly. "Little fellow... you're quite sensible. It's not for nothing that I shared a portion of my essence with you."

"You're right. If I could obtain these two portions of dragon essence, my strength would improve once again, and I might even be able to return to my peak condition."

"Very well, I will go myself."

As soon as he finished speaking, the crimson vertical pupil vanished from its spot, as if it had closed its eyes.

And in the next second...

"Boom! Boom!"

The entire volcano began to shake violently.

The mountain cracked rapidly, and countless streams of magma gushed out along the fissures, which stretched for tens of kilometers.

The tremors lasted for less than three seconds, and then the entire surface of the volcano began to bulge violently, as if something terrifying was about to burst forth from the ground!

Then.

"Boom--!!!"

A terrifying explosion resounded through the sky, and scorching lava instantly shot tens of thousands of meters into the air.

The entire volcano vanished in an instant.

Amidst the raging flames, a colossal creature, its body covered in red scales, soared into the sky!

Bathed in magma, it flapped its giant wings and flew to an altitude of tens of thousands of meters.

Behind it followed hundreds and thousands of enormous, fiery red figures.

"Sing--!!!"

The resounding roar of the dragon echoed for hundreds of miles around, as if announcing the return of a certain king.

On the other side of the Land of Mist, in a place extremely far from the lords of Blue Star.

Within the churning gray fog lies an ancient ruin.

The black, dilapidated building remains stand alone, as if they had been destroyed by a fire hundreds or thousands of years ago.

Deep within the gray fog, a young-looking man wearing a white headscarf was carrying a lantern and slowly approaching the ruins.

Soon, he arrived at a collapsed stone house.

"I've got the goods, come out and make the deal," the young man shouted to the surroundings.

A moment later, rhythmic footsteps came from ahead.

"Tap... tap... tap..."

Under the watchful eyes of the young man, a distinctive figure gradually emerged from the black stone-paved street in the distance.

He was wearing a gray trench coat, his hands tucked into his sleeves, and he walked briskly.

"You've got everything ready so quickly?" the man in the trench coat asked in surprise. "The resources of your Red Sand World are even more abundant than I imagined."

"Hmph!" The Chongfu glared at him. "These were collected by our elders at a great cost; it wasn't as easy as you make it out to be."

"If you try to raise the price again, we will not agree."

"I didn't think that way," the man in the trench coat chuckled. "These things are enough; I'm easily satisfied."

When the Chongfu heard the last sentence, the corner of his mouth twitched.

He took a deep breath and said in a deep voice, "If you've taken our things, you must keep your promise and honestly tell us the information about Blue Star."

"Otherwise, we'll hunt you down to the very edge of the sandy cliffs and the sea, we won't let you go!"

"Don't worry," the man in the trench coat said casually, "I'm a man of my word; once I've promised, I won't go back on my word."

"Alright, let's make the deal quickly."

As he spoke, he stepped forward and extended his right hand from his trench coat pocket.
