Chapter 434: Advent of a True Dragon
Once he made a breakthrough into the fifth tier of the Divine Treasure Realm, every cell in Lu Xuan’s body was transforming at a staggering rate.
Cultivation itself was about transforming one’s state of life.
Lu Xuan then felt hungry. Every single cell in his body seemed to be shouting that they needed nourishment to replenish the energy he needed to maintain his evolution.
He popped yet another Divine Treasure Pill right away, which was transformed into a powerful surge of energy feeding every single cell in his body.
Every single cell in his body felt like a Taotie, a legendary beast known for its insatiable appetite, taking in all manner of energy to replenish themselves.
Every single pore on Lu Xuan’s body was opened simultaneously, sucking in all the spirit qi in the air around him.
While he was at the place where he was rendered undetectable from the world itself, he was able to go as far with his training as he pleased.
He only needed to keep growing his powers.
“Three days… I only have three days to gain enough power to fight that old dragon!”
Lu Xuan wore a serious expression. It was risky for him to force the old dragon to come to the world earlier than expected.
However, he simply did not want to delay the matter any further. Things would have only become more difficult if that old dragon were to fight at its best.
By then, that old dragon might be able to fight to its heart’s content. That would have been a true threat to him.
What Lu Xuan had currently done was forcing the old dragon to break through the seal and coming to the Earth by sheer force of will, which had diminished its power considerably.
According to what Lu Xuan knew back in his past life, that old dragon’s powers were at least at the ninth tier of the Divine Treasure Realm despite currently not being at its peak condition.
Despite the means that Lu Xuan had at his command, he remained unlikely to win over an enemy that was much stronger than him.
Forcing the old dragon to break through its seal would result in the old dragon being severely damaged. Worse still, it still had to deal with the limitations put on Divine Treasure Realm beings by the Earth itself.
According to his estimations, that old dragon would be no higher than at the sixth tier of Divine Treasure Realm by then. Even if it were to be able to maintain its powers at the seventh tier, its powers would still have been rendered less than 10 percent of its peak condition.
That meant that that would be the best time for Lu Xuan to kill that old dragon.
Despite being rendered to less than 10 percent of what it used to be, that old dragon’s powers would remain almost invincible on Earth in the planet’s current state.
Lu Xuan immediately resumed his training.
Meanwhile, the aftershock brought about by the emergence of countless sea monsters did not dissipate with time.
Countless people were rendered silent as all manner of statistics regarding losses suffered were reported.
Even the ‘pacifistic’, white leftists who were most adamant in their stance of coexisting with the demons before were no longer able to maintain their stance with such overwhelming facts. While there was nonetheless still a group of the demons’ staunchest defenders, they would have little effect on the opinion of the rest of the world.
The voices of all people were united at that moment—they wanted to seek revenge.
The calamities brought about by the waves of the sea monsters by then resulted in tens of millions of human casualties. It was also the first time that humanity learned just how fearsome the sea monsters were when they attacked cities.
It was especially so with the coastal regions, which had originally been the most economically developed areas for the countries involved. Having such cities ravaged brought about huge losses to all the countries hit, even stronger ones like the US.
The Atlantic economy, which was known to be the largest in the world, suffered a calamity like no other. One could even say that the attacks had brought an economic regression by at least 10 years.
People of the other regions became very terrified due to what happened. Real estate values in coastal regions began to suffer staggering, sharp drops.
What was even more terrifying was that people were spreading the latest satellite images all across the Internet, which showed that a huge claw was seen extending out of a fissure in the air.
That massive claw alone was estimated to be more than 10 meters wide, which was seen grabbing tightly on one end of the spatial fissure. The pitch-black scales on the claw were being shattered by some unidentified, terrifying power. Everyone could see blood dripping from the wound.
The scene made it seem like the claw belonged to a terrifying yet injured beast.
Everyone realized that something terrifying was probably trying to climb out from the other side of the spatial fissure.
At that moment, several nuclear missiles were fired by the US, which were all seen heading for that spatial fissure.
Just when everyone thought that the nuclear missiles were about to hit their intended target, a massive eagle appeared in the sky and let out a deafening, high-pitched scream. Then, it sent several wind blades tearing through the sky that then hit the missiles heading for the fissure.
Boom!
A deafening rumble was heard while a massive mushroom cloud was seen gradually rising to the sky.
Everyone saw the nuclear missiles being detonated above the Atlantic Ocean. The light from the detonation was bright enough to shroud the entire place.
The nuclear missiles failed to hit their targets. It was the first time where nuclear weapons failed to intimidate the demons.
Precisely put, it would seem that a nuclear bomb or two seem to no longer be able to pose a significant threat to the demons.
That eagle remained near that fissure above the Atlantic Ocean, seemingly waiting for some kind of sovereign being to emerge.
Everyone waited for something else to happen. No one dared to do anything rash after seeing that the nuclear missiles failed to achieve their intended objectives.
Suddenly, an incredibly massive head was then seen extending out of that fissure.
That massive head seemed to be clad in pitch-black scales all over with a ferocious expression. The beast resembled the dragons told in Chinese mythologies.
Everyone immediately understood that the seemingly endless horde of sea monsters and that powerful eagle were all preceding the advent of that dragon.
Many who knew more about what was happening instantly realized what was going on.
They realized that the eagle and the sea monsters served the forces of the Myriad Demon Valley as well.
The master of the Myriad Demon Valley had always been that old dragon told in legends. That legendary beast had truly emerged into the world.
Everyone could see that the head of that old dragon had wounds everywhere, making it seem like it had just fought an intense battle.
They all saw that the massive head of the old dragon was lowered, seemingly suppressed by some invisible pressure.
Roarrrr!
The old dragon lifted its head and then burst out in a furious roar, shocking the world and kicking up massive waves over the ocean below.
The massive dragon claw tore at the fissure. The entire massive body of the old dragon emerged out of that fissure so easily.
It was only then that everyone could see that the old dragon was an old ferocious beast with a massive body measuring over 300 meters in length.
It was a creature that resembled the dragon found in Chinese mythologies.
The old dragon’s massive body seemed to be soaked in blood as it roared at the sky, looking as if it refused to submit to something. That scene greatly shocked the spectators.
That creature was truly a Chinese dragon told in myths and legends.
As spirit qi was being restored and cultivation became more widespread. With Huaxia propagating widespread cultivation among its citizens, many people went on to learn more about Huaxian culture. As such, all of them knew what that creature in the sky was.
The sight of such a creature emerging had shocked everyone in the world.
