World Devouring Dragon

The entire stadium was silent.

The moment Ron awakened his seventh dragon scale, the pressure in the arena changed. The very air trembled beneath his terrifying presence, and for the first time in the entire tournament, Fang Mu—the undefeated prodigy of the Storm Blade Sect—was afraid.

His instincts screamed at him to retreat, but he refused to accept it.

"You…" Fang Mu gritted his teeth, his hand clutching his bleeding chest. "You were struggling just moments ago, and now you act like you've already won?"

Ron simply smirked, twirling his sword with ease. "You're still standing? I must've gone easy on you."

Fang Mu's face twisted with rage.

"Arrogant brat!" he roared. BOOM!

His Nascent Soul energy exploded, and the sky above darkened. A hurricane of sword energy surged around him, forming a blade storm that cut through the stage.

The entire crowd gasped.

"This is Fang Mu's ultimate technique—Storm Annihilation Sword Domain!"

"Ron is finished. Even Master realm elders would struggle against this move!"

The storm of swords raged violently, but Ron remained unshaken.

Instead, he closed his eyes.

And then—

BOOM!

A new aura erupted from his body, even greater than before. His sword trembled in his grasp, as if resonating with his awakening bloodline.

The seventh scale on his chest glowed brightly, sending waves of invisible energy through the air.

Shen Tian's voice echoed in his mind.

"You've reached the critical point, Ron. Your sword has evolved. Now, unleash it!"

Ron's eyes snapped open, now brighter than ever.

A terrifying sword formation appeared around him.

Countless ethereal swords materialized in the air, rotating like a celestial array.

It was a new technique—a technique awakened from his bloodline memory.

"Heavenly Dragon Sword Formation!"

The very ground beneath them cracked.

The audience watched in awe and fear as Ron casually swung his sword, sending the phantom blades soaring forward.

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

Fang Mu's Storm Annihilation Sword Domain was shattered in an instant!

"Impossible!" Fang Mu coughed up blood as he was sent crashing into the arena wall.

The crowd went completely silent.

Everyone, even the elders and sect leaders, were left speechless.

The emperor himself stared at Ron in disbelief, while the princess… she was completely captivated, her heart pounding as she gazed at him.

Ron casually walked forward, his golden eyes piercing into Fang Mu.

"It's over," he said coldly.

Fang Mu struggled to move, but his energy was completely drained. His body refused to stand.

He had lost.

The referee hesitated, still in shock, but after a moment, he finally declared the result.

"Ron of the Black Moon Sect is the champion!"

BOOM!

The entire stadium exploded with noise. Some were cheering, some were shocked, and others… were still trying to process what had just happened.

Ron had defied all expectations.

A Qi Refining Realm cultivator had defeated a Nascent Soul genius.

The emperor's eyes narrowed, and the princess's expression softened, her gaze locked onto Ron.

This boy…

He was far more than just a warrior.

He was something else entirely.
