Chapter 1127: Chapter 1127
Facing challengers, the Dragon Clan never showed cowardice, especially when the challenger was from their own kind.
The Black Dragon King opened his mouth and let out a roar, spraying a breath of dragon fire toward the dark giant dragon. The dark giant dragon, not to be outdone, returned the favor with a breath of its own, and the two forces collided mid-air.
Though the Flame Dragon Breath had no physical form, the collision was like two meteors striking each other, the immense force causing the entire valley to tremble. As the dragon breaths exploded, it was evident that the dark giant dragon’s breath was slightly weaker.
"It seems this strength is no match for the king," a black dragon said to its companion.
"Still too young, if it were me, I’d cultivate for a while longer before coming out. It’s too early now, a defeat could mean death. Even if you could escape, you’d lose the chance to challenge again."
The Dragon Clan has its own rules; a challenge must be accomplished in one go. A failure this time means no opportunity for a rematch, even if one becomes stronger later. Success in a later challenge wouldn’t be recognized by any of the dragon kin.
In the sky, the two black dragons had already engaged in a fierce melee. Claws and teeth constantly clashed, and dragon breath erupted intermittently. The large and the small dragon each ferociously attacked the other, aiming to inflict wounds. However, due to the Dragon Scale Defense, neither dragon had many injuries even after fighting for some time.
"Master, it seems that the dark giant dragon is somewhat weaker," Lin Yushi noticed.
Lin Yucha shook her head, "Though weaker, the dark giant dragon has its trump card. If triggered, it’s absolutely something that dragon king cannot contend with." Lin Yucha was actually quite optimistic. The source of this content ɪs 𝗻𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹•𝑓𝑖𝑟𝑒•𝙣𝙚𝙩
Du You pondered, "If the dark giant dragon could win, that would be best. With so many giant dragons, even if we intervened, we couldn’t guarantee that none would escape. The sub-dragons and Dragon Men don’t hold much sway, their words aren’t strong enough to convince. But if it’s a Dragon Clan member, the persuasive power would be much greater."
Du You worried that other dragon kings and the giant dragon legions might gang up on them. If all the fifth-tier giant dragons united, Du You wasn’t sure he could really handle them all.
Below, several Dragon Beasts watched the battle above in despair: "Why won’t you believe us? Our legion really was annihilated, it’s true, those people might be coming over soon."
"Shut up, what humans could destroy you? You’re clearly just making excuses for not wanting to work. What, do you think I’m easy to fool? Keep spouting nonsense and I’ll bite you to death."
A black dragon next to it patted its companion on the back, "Calm down, don’t be distracted by this nonsense. It’s the battle for the Dragon King now, we mustn’t concern ourselves with other matters. If a new Dragon King emerges, then we need to think about what to do next."
"What else can we do, just keep it as it is. Our Dragon Clan has always been this way."
"Tsk, a new Dragon King who ascended so quickly must have a Secret Method. If I could gain the new Dragon King’s trust, my cultivation speed could also increase." The lifespan of the Dragon Clan was long, but their promotion speed was terribly slow.
"Alright, enough chatter. Can’t you see, Lord Black Dragon King is stronger. Although that young black dragon isn’t bad, it still falls short," said an Old Long. These Old Longs were the close followers of the Black Dragon King and, naturally, they hoped the Black Dragon King would continue as Dragon King, otherwise, they would lose a lot of power.
The battle in the sky had heated up to an intense degree, with two dragons entangling continuously. Fights among the Dragon Clan seldom used magic, as using claws and teeth directly was more threatening.
Finally, the two dragons tangled together in the air. The dark giant dragon launched its powerful Dark Devour move. A black Light Ball formed in its mouth and swept up one wing of the Black Dragon King.
The Black Dragon King screamed in agony. Then its body swelled with black power, as if it had donned a layer of armor. With its body enveloped in darkness, it fiercely bit into the dark giant dragon, tearing it in two.
As the Light Ball vanished, all the Dragon Clan members watched in shock as one wing of their Black Dragon King had disappeared, the base of the wing a bloody mess. Being a giant dragon, while being strong, regeneration was a serious issue. Losing one wing meant it could take centuries to grow back.
But no matter what, it had ultimately won. The strength of this younger dragon was indeed formidable.
However, just as the Black Dragon King was about to shout in celebration, a black haze suddenly condensed in front of him, and the dark giant dragon reappeared, this time in its full form.
"Impossible, how can the Dragon Clan have resurrection skills? Where did you learn this from?"
Shock and greed painted the Black Dragon King’s face. If he possessed this skill, he could even challenge the position of the Holy Dragon King, the strongest amongst all the Dragon Kings.
"Even if you have come back to life, I will make you die once again." His power-up state had not yet faded.
But the charging Black Dragon King did not expect that the dark giant dragon would raise its neck, using its Inverse Scale to meet his attack. Was this a suicidal move? However, the Black Dragon King had no time to pull back, and his claw struck the dark giant dragon’s Inverse Scale with a "crack," creating a fissure.
The dark giant dragon roared furiously, its aura swelling unbelievably in the incredulous eyes of the Black Dragon King.
Inverse Scale: When attacked, the dark giant dragon enters a rage state, increasing its attributes by 30%, and this stacks with other skill boosts. If shattered, the dark giant dragon enters a severely weakened state, which could lead to death.
Originally, the two dragons were nearly equal in strength, but the dark giant dragon’s attributes suddenly surged by a third, a basic attribute boost. This increase, compounded with other skill enhancements, soared even higher.
The dark giant dragon, appearing to have grown larger, grabbed the Black Dragon King’s claws and tore them off roots and all. The Dragon King howled, trying to retreat, but there was no chance. The dark giant dragon moved forward, grabbed him, and then a burst of Dragon Breath struck the Black Dragon King’s abdomen, blasting a huge gash.
The dark giant dragon, disregarding its own safety, surged forward in a frenzy of bites, and the Black Dragon King, unable to fend off the attacks, was quickly overwhelmed and completely torn to shreds, leaving no chance for escape, only fragments remaining.
As its head was torn off, the Black Dragon King still had its eyes wide open, completely unforeseen this end.
