Arkenstals problem was adopted by silence. Then, the earth shook. The sky shuddered. Boulders tumbled down the volcano sides, and droplets of magma spouted from its prime.

The shaking constructed up till it culminated right into a roar so large, so deafening, that the clouds had been washed away and the earth splintered far under. For a second, it felt just like the world itself was vibrating.

Then the roar minimize off and an enormous head emerged from the volcano.

Everybody, Jack included, drew chilly breaths. This was most definitely a dragon, precisely as pictured in medieval tales. It possessed a serpentine physique lined with crimson scales, two horns on its head, and eyes twisted with darkish, excessive intelligence.

They’re extremely proof against all temperature adjustments, in addition to spatial or time distortions, and their fireplace is among the hottest states of matter identified to the cultivation world.

Its head alone was the dimensions of a hill. Its eyes had been bigger than Jacks physique. Standing earlier than it, everybody was like specks of mud. And its aura It towered larger than the mountains, deeper than the ocean. It was an inextinguishable, countless vat of unadulterated energy. The very air across the dragon was immolated by its wrath.

This dragon, by itself, was way more harmful than the volcano it occupied.

You dare return? it growled in its deep, malevolent voice. Darkish steam escaped its nostrils and the ends of its lips. With each motion of its jaw, tooth the dimensions of bushes appeared, glinting on this worlds daylight.

I do, Arkenstal replied, fearlessly pointing his sword on the dragon. And I introduced firm.

Extra coal to the fireplace. The dragon growled oddly, as if laughing from deep inside its stomach. Extra of its physique was dragged exterior the volcano. Jack noticed a torso the dimensions of a mountain. Wings that would conceal the sky. Legs that stood on the earth like divine columns, and claws that would tear aside the heavens.

However these weren’t sufficient to make the dragon a B-Grade existence. Its physique was solely a part of its energy. The hearth that shimmered inside it was so scorching that Jack might really feel it from a mile away, as if gazing an open oven. The Hearth Dao of the world was swiftly gathering at this location, dashing over from a whole lot of miles away. The dragons Dao understanding was on no account shallow.

All these collectively pushed this creature over the sting and let it take a strong step into the B-Grade.

The dragon rose out of the volcano utterly, taking to the air. Each flap of its wings despatched robust gales over the land, climbing down the volcano slopes, touring throughout the bottom, and razing the jungle ten miles away. These draconic twigs that weren’t nicely rooted had been despatched flying, their screams echoing by means of the air.New n0vel chapters are printed on

Kids! the dragon roared. Struggle for me!

The twigs didn’t reply. Out of the volcano, nonetheless, got here one other twelve dragons. They had been as pink as their father, although smaller. If the big dragon was a mountain, they had been giant hills.

The twelve smaller dragons roared as one, shaking the material of area.

Purple Dragon, Stage 399 (Elite)

Their System description was the identical as their fathers, although they had been worlds aside in energy. Nonetheless, even they had been sufficient to stump the cultivators. Every was a peak C-Grade creature, and an Elite one, too. A standard peak C-Grade cultivator would lose simply.

Nonetheless, these weren’t regular cultivators. They had been one of the best of one of the best, dominating the gathering of genius that was the Cathedral. The Hand of God ones had been equally certified. Each nine-fruit cultivator current was stronger than the small dragons, and there have been eleven of them. There have been additionally one other six eight-fruit cultivators that would help, and at last there was Jack, Brock, and Min Ling.

For glory! Min Ling shouted, greedy her spear and charging on the giant dragon.

For the Immortals! cried out Arkenstal, taking his sword and becoming a member of her. The 2 leaders crossed area, near-instantly arriving earlier than the dragon. The world shook from their conflict. Area ruptured for miles round. The sky misplaced its colour, lightning descended, and fireplace erupted with such depth that it immediately shattered all different energies. Jack noticed even area and time evaporate.

YOU DARE CHALLENGE ME? the dragon roared, leaping into fight in opposition to the 2 cultivators.

The conflict within the excessive skies was the sign to begin the battle. Eighteen cultivators and twelve dragons charged at one another, all extraordinarily highly effective. There was havoc. The world shattered. All vegetation disappeared for 100 miles round, leaving solely the draconic twigs alive, and even they had been flung away from the shockwave.

Rattling! Jack exclaimed. He might final a while right here, however not infinitely. In the event that they took too lengthy, they could have to retreat empty-handed. Furthermore, the opposite cultivators would notice they had been solely lacking.

I received this, Brock shouted. His aura erupted. A golden e book appeared in his hand, flipping to a web page that confirmed a brorilla and a human swimming by means of lava and rejoicing as they noticed one thing that hid past the border of the web page.

As quickly as that picture appeared, the golden aura of the e book flared. It shot out like a sonar wave, bypassing Jacks area bubble and diving into the lava, spreading in all instructions. Jack was shocked. Brock stored his eyes closed, till lastly he snapped them open.

There, he mentioned, pointing in a path. He then frowned. Dragon bro mom is therebut this place could be very deep. Very, very deep.

Jack directed his area bubble to fly over, crossing by means of countless lava. Ultimately, his notion met a wall. And on it was one thing that appeared like a plant, but was not.

This time, it wasnt simply Jack who was shocked. Brocks jaw hung to his shoulders, and his brorilla eyes had been huge in disbelief.

Right here, buried beneath miles of lava, in temperatures that would evaporate something however the hardest stone, was a single tree.

It was not too giant, barely reaching Jacks peak. Its roots dug into the wall of the cavern. Its trunk was made from grey wooden, and its branches had been clear, as if made from jade, showcasing the fragile inexperienced veins inside.

{That a} tree might exist right here was unthinkable. The System was additionally at a loss. All it displayed was query marks.

Wow, Jack muttered breathlessly. For a single second, regardless of the hazard and rush they had been in, he deeply appreciated the great thing about the universe. Every part was potential. Such a magical world Maybe Edgar, along with his Dao of magic and surprise, was proper all alongside.

Jack shook himself awake. There was no time to assume. They needed to get the crystals and return to the floor earlier than anybody found they had been lacking.

On the tree branches, hanging like fruits, had been twelve crystals. One was half-eaten, exposing its inexperienced core. These crystals emitted unbelievable quantities of energy. Their outer layer was made from pure Dao so dense it had crystallized. Utilizing it to domesticate could be 100 instances higher than utilizing a Dao stone. Beneath that pores and skin, the half-eaten fruit revealed a inexperienced core containing such a terrifying amount of life vitality that it made even Jack scared. Apart from the Life Drop, these had been by far the best life treasures he had ever skilled.

Hurry! Brock exclaimed. Jack was planning to. His area bubble collapsed, exposing their pure Dao shields to lava and taking pictures up their vitality consumption. They reached the tree near-instantly. Jack grabbed for a fruit, and to his shock, taking it away was as straightforward as plucking an apple.

Six fruits discovered their manner into Jacks area ring. 5 remained. The plan was easy: Jack, Brock, and their different accomplice would share these six fruits, whereas everybody else would get the remaining 5. By leaving a number of fruits on the tree, they might not elevate any suspicionsprovided that they managed to return to the battle earlier than it was over.

It was a dangerous plan, in fact, however how might one advance with out threat? And, as for stealing from the opposite cultivators Jack couldnt give a single rattling. Anyone else would additionally cheat if given the possibility. Amongst cultivators, there was no justice, solely energy.

The one one he cared about was Min Ling, however hed make it as much as her later.

Jack shortly reinstated the area bubble, hiding them each himself and Brock inside. He took a remaining look on the tree.

After half its fruits had been taken, the bushes aura had declined tremendously. Jack had little question that every part on this tree, from its roots to its branches, was a treasure. Nonetheless, the fruits had been by far the best prize.

Within the cultivation world, there have been grasping individuals who would uproot this tree utterly and take it with them. Such an motion, nonetheless, could be extraordinarily wasteful. Brock had promised to guard the mom, and that was additionally in step with Jacks values. All the time take the fruitnever the foundation. Like this, the tree would reside, new fruits might develop sooner or later, and the cultivators who got here subsequent would have yet another treasure to pursue. The cycle of life might proceed.

Furthermore, as soon as the battle exterior was over, Brock would declare he knew the treasures place and lead all of them right here immediately so they’d no have to kill the draconic twigs. Each they and the tree could be protected.

Jack and Brock bowed to the tree in deep gratitude. Going through such a marvel of nature, even they felt small.

Then, they turned and shot again in the direction of the cave entrance. There was no time to waste. The winding tunnels to date had made their present location unclear, so the one manner out was to retrace their steps.

Thankfully, Jack had wonderful reminiscence, so he might monitor down the doorway of the cavern. In any other case, they might be misplaced ceaselessly.

Magma floated by them. They reached the doorway, dashing at full velocity, then got here to a skidding halt.

One other area bubble blocked the cavern entrance. And inside it, along with his palms crossed and a chilly smile on his face, was Baron Longform.
