The majestic dragon, even coiled upon the earth, possessed a frame as grand as mountain ranges.
Its golden eyes, now open, were each the size of two placid lakes of gold.
But unlike lakes, these golden expanses were smooth as mirrors, holding divine radiance within.
Born from the void, true dragons were inherently Tier 2 beings, their combat power naturally at the very limit of the Abyssal level.
And this dragon before Chen Luo was no mere fledgling, newly conceived. Its power had already surpassed the boundaries of the Abyssal.
The colossal dragon merely gazed calmly at Chen Luo. The sapphire-blue ice beneath Chen Luo’s feet, harder than steel, erupted with countless cracks.
In this ascended world, the true power of the dragon manifested, its gaze alone creating an almost tangible pressure of light.
An unknown language, spoken from the dragon’s maw.
This language was unlike any Chen Luo had ever known, yet the instant he heard it, he understood the dragon’s words.
“Human, tell me, what is your name.”
Frosty Pride knew Chen Luo’s name, but it was asking something deeper.
As a human, having finally arrived here, under what banner, with what purpose did you come?
Therefore, answer me, human, speak the answer I most anticipate!
The once placid golden pools of its eyes rippled slightly. The awakened dragon awaited the youth’s reply.
The tangible light pressure from its gaze was ceaselessly eroding the vital energy on Chen Luo’s skin.
Yet, this light pressure, capable of crushing steel, could not harm Chen Luo at this moment.
He raised his head, looking up at the mountain-like dragon, a smile gracing his face.
There was no trace of fear in his smile, and his eyes quietly turned a brilliant gold.
The human on the ground, with unyielding golden eyes, gazed up at the true dragon, the embodiment of perfection.
His unwavering words echoed across the sapphire-blue frozen battlefield:
“Great Yan Commander! Chen Luo!”
“I come today to slay the dragon with my own body! To reclaim the mountains and rivers!”
Burning vital energy flowed slowly around Chen Luo’s body. A layer of crimson battle armor gradually formed on his skin with the flow of this energy.
The armor was composed of pure energy, filled with intricate and profound magical patterns.
Within its nobility, the armor held a sharp edge, and terrifying waves of vital energy coursed through it.
The moment the armor took shape, the light pressure from the dragon’s gaze was instantly repelled.
…
“Nine Arts” was Chen Luo’s own reclassification of the tens of thousands of skills he possessed.
The First Art was centered around “Vital Energy Martial Arts,” incorporating myriad amplification attributes, ultimately forming a special combination skill!
This was the perfected masterpiece of the First Art!
“Vital Energy Martial Armor”!
The instant he donned the martial armor, Chen Luo’s aura even faintly reached the level of his past true transformation!
That was the limit of an Abyssal, a power capable of shaking the continents of the old world.
Boom!!!
The residual power of the ice dragon had formed this frozen battlefield before them, and also caused the blizzards that covered most of Great Yan’s territory.
Such a powerful being, upon opening its eyes, its mere presence made it seem as if this battlefield could no longer contain a second force.
The previous Chen Luo was like a faint candle flame in a cold wind, seemingly about to be extinguished at any moment.
But the moment the Vital Energy Martial Armor unfurled, a crimson radiance slowly rose within the sapphire-blue frozen battlefield.
At this moment, Chen Luo’s aura was in no way inferior to this awakened dragon.
Yet, as the dragon watched Chen Luo’s aura surge and heard his declaration of dragon-slaying, it showed no anger.
Within its lake-like golden eyes, an unfeigned excitement ignited!
The thunderous dragon language reverberated across the frozen battlefield. The dragon’s laughter caused the ice canopy of the sky to faintly crack:
“Hahaha!! Chen Luo! Chen Luo!! Finally!!!”
“This uninteresting world has managed to grow such a perfect fruit as you!!!”
Boom!!!
The mountain-like dragon suddenly rose. As the earth rumbled, a pair of sky-obscuring dragon wings unfurled.
The excited dragon raised its long neck, its high-pitched roar unleashing its irrepressible excitement and anticipation.
“Roar!!!”
Bang!!!
Beneath the dragon’s roar, the hard ice canopy that covered the sky on the frozen battlefield shattered into diamond-like fragments with no resistance.
After the ice canopy shattered, it was not a sky-obscuring lead-grey cloud, but a midday sun!
The shattered ice fragments fell like rain, and the winter sunlight made them gleam with a rainbow of colors.
Amidst the beautiful and magnificent interplay of light and shadow, the dragon’s roar subsided.
The dragon lowered its proud head, its golden eyes looking intently at the figure on the ground that had not moved an inch.
Battle intent surged in the depths of its golden dragon pupils. Its dragon language, like thunder, echoed through the heavens:
“I! The Void True Dragon! Frosty Pride – Violet! Accept your challenge!”
“Come! You who tread the Abyss, use your power to fulfill your promise!”
“Come! Use all of you!! To please me!!! Human!!!!”
Heaven and earth trembled with the dragon’s words!
The atmosphere! The sky! The land!
Everything vibrated with the true dragon’s roar.
The frozen battlefield became a calm eye of the storm.
And the blizzard clouds that covered more than half of Great Yan, at this moment, began to rotate and converge around this eye!
Even before the battle began, the dragon’s might was enough to shake an entire nation.
Miles away, outside Starfire City, the magnificent transparent shield began to vibrate wildly.
It was the earth that vibrated, the sky.
How could the city between them remain untouched?
In the city, everyone’s ears were filled with the dragon’s roar.
Those unaware were struck speechless by the shock.
Those who knew cast a worried gaze towards the east.
…
In the center of the sapphire-blue battlefield, upon the humming earth,
Only Chen Luo, clad in the Vital Energy Martial Armor, stood steadily in place.
The frozen soldiers and weapons gradually sank into the earth amidst the tremors.
When the vortex, formed by the blizzard clouds covering tens of millions of miles, finally took shape in the sky.
This frozen battlefield had completely transformed into a smooth, sapphire-blue mirror.
Chen Luo took a step forward, gazing up at the dragon looking down at him, feeling a power that far surpassed the Abyssal, and murmured:
“Above the Abyss…”
