Chapter 54: From Flood Dragon to True Dragon
The True Dragon Blood was swallowed by the Ink Sea Flood Dragon, and the immense power of its bloodline immediately began coursing through its body, as if it were revitalized.
In an instant, a powerful aura spread across the entire Sea of the Lost.
"Roar!"
A high-pitched dragon roar echoed, and a second horn, large and striking, sprouted from the flood dragon's head alongside its original small horn.
With this dragon roar, all the beasts in the Sea of the Lost prostrated themselves on the ground, trembling uncontrollably with fear.
The Ink Sea Flood Dragon began to roar continuously in pain.
The True Dragon Blood was too domineering, frantically transforming its body and bloodline. This process of remaking its form was excruciatingly painful.
However, despite the agony, the Ink Sea Flood Dragon was thrilled.
It could feel its bloodline strengthening, and this made the beast incredibly excited.
Soon, its body began to change. Its originally dark scales shed rapidly, leaving it covered in blood and flesh.
But soon, new scales grew green and shining with a mysterious glow, blending with the waves of the sea, giving it an air of deep mystery.
The flood dragon's aura kept rising, advancing from a Mid-layer Level 7 demon king to a Half-layer level 8.
In beast terms, this meant it had reached Half-step Level 8, a Half-layer Demon Emperor.
The Ink Sea Flood Dragon surged out of the Sea of the Lost, releasing its aura without restraint, flying through the sky like a dragon.
"Hahaha, I've transformed into a dragon! Is this what it feels like to be a true dragon?"
At that moment, excitement overwhelmed it.
Though still incomparable to true dragons with stronger bloodlines, it had now transcended the category of a flood dragon and become a true dragon.
Its body, previously around a thousand meters, had grown nearly three times larger now close to three thousand meters becoming a massive and terrifying presence.
Throughout the Jinghong Empire, countless people sensed the terrifying aura and were filled with shock.
"That direction is Vastmile County. Such a powerful demonic aura did the demon king of the Sea of the Lost break through again?"
"Wasn't the Ink Sea Flood Dragon nearing the end of its lifespan? How did it manage to break through now? What luck!"
"This aura feels far stronger than the Ink Sea Flood Dragon's usual presence. Could it be a new demon king in the Sea of the Lost?"
At the same time, powerful figures across the Jinghong Empire watched the direction of the Sea of the Lost with serious expressions.
The Ink Sea Flood Dragon had always been strong, but this breakthrough meant it could rival the power of the Jinghong Empire.
Back at the Sea of the Lost, after a burst of joyous laughter, the Ink Sea Flood Dragon flew back to Feng Yuan. Without speaking, it simply lowered its head silently.
As a mount, there was no need for idle chatter. It just had to follow its master's orders.
Feng Yuan jumped onto the dragon's head and looked out into the distance, satisfied with the view. After the flood dragon's bloodline upgrade, its appearance had become quite impressive.
Its presence had skyrocketed.
Not bad.
Feng Yuan was very pleased with his new mount.
"Let's go. Back to Wangyun Mountain."
With a series of dragon roars, the enormous creature soared through the clouds, heading off into the distance.
As it passed through human lands, countless human cultivators gazed up at the giant dragon flying overhead, their eyes filled with shock and fear.
"What a terrifying aura! Where did this demon come from? Does the Jinghong Empire have such a powerful demon king?"
"Is it possible that a demon king from another land has come to attack our empire?"
"Wait… That doesn't look right… Could that be… a dragon?"
"Come on, man, are you kidding? There haven't been dragons in the Eastern Domain for ages. The Sea of the Lost only has a flood dragon."
Discussions broke out among the people. At first, they were panicked, but once they realized the creature didn't seem hostile, they relaxed a little.
When they passed over Qingfeng City, the city lord's face turned pale. He rushed out of the city lord's mansion, bowing respectfully as he said,"What mighty demon clan senior has come to our city?"Although relations between humans and demons were tense, both sought longevity through cultivation.Once demons reached the level of a demon king, their intelligence was on par with humans, so addressing them as "senior" wasn't inappropriate.The Ink Sea Flood Dragon said nothing, merely casting a cold gaze at the small creature before it.The city lord of Clearwind City finally got a clear view of the massive being."A true dragon!"His eyes were filled with disbelief. The demon in front of him looked almost identical to the legendary dragon race.
Horns like a deer's, a head like a camel's, eyes like a rabbit's, a neck like a snake's, scales like a fish's, claws like an eagle's, paws like a tiger's, and ears like a cow's.Apart from a few minor differences, it resembled a true dragon in almost every way.Could there really be a true dragon in the Heaven of the Unknown Realm?True dragons, among other mythical creatures, had disappeared after the Great Emperor of the Heaven of the Unknown Realm vanished.
Over the years, such creatures had nearly gone extinct.The key detail that made the Ink Sea Flood Dragon stand out was the divine aura it exuded completely different from ordinary demons, full of godly power.Could it truly be a divine beast?Then he noticed the young, handsome human seated atop the dragon's head."A human?"The city lord's pupils shrank. Could it be that this dragon was his mount?If this human could subdue such a powerful dragon, how strong must he be?The city lord immediately bowed.
"Greetings, Senior."He didn't dare look at Feng Yuan too closely, but at a glance, the figure seemed strangely familiar, as if he had seen him before.
Feng Yuan said calmly, "Ah, it's City Lord Zhou. I trust you've been well?"Huh?The city lord raised his head abruptly. When he finally saw the figure clearly, he was completely stunned.Feng Yuan!The Feng family had settled at Wangyun Mountain, very close to Qingshi city . He had once visited the Feng family and met Feng Yuan.With a cultivator's exceptional memory, he immediately recognized Feng Yuan.
Feng Yuan was utterly shocked. Could Feng Yuan's power have grown so immensely that he had tamed a true dragon?From the aura the Ink Sea Flood Dragon radiated, it was at least at the Half-layer Level 8, far stronger than the old Jinghong Emperor.Feng Yuan quickly bowed. "Greetings, Young Master Feng. This is…?"Feng Yuan replied calmly, "Just a mount."A mount!My goodness.
Feng Yuan's heart was filled with shock. It really was his mount.If Feng Yuan could tame such a terrifying beast as a mount, who could challenge the Feng family's position in the future?Feng Yuan didn't linger long, and the Ink Sea Flood Dragon continued toward Wangyun Mountain.When Feng Yuan returned, sitting atop the Ink Sea Flood Dragon, the entire Feng family was left in deep shock.
Seeing Feng Yuan seated on the dragon's head was truly awe-inspiring.Many within the Feng family were filled with envy.In the end, the Ink Sea Flood Dragon made its home high in the clouds above the Zixia Mountain. Although its bloodline was still not the purest, it had gained all the abilities of a true dragon.Controlling wind, rain, thunder, and lightning were now basic abilities, and it could roam the skies with ease.Feng Yuan also gave the Ink Sea Flood Dragon a new name: Qingshi From Wangyun Mountain, one could gaze toward the Zixia Mountains Mountains and glimpse its massive form hidden within the clouds.
