An enormous figure then emerged from the rift in the sky.
This was an azure dragon so gigantic that it struck one with a sense of asphyxiation. Its eyes were like two suns, incinerating everything between heaven and earth. Its body was over a million feet long, and a nonchalant swipe of its claws could crush mountains and part oceans.
The Dao Integration Stage True Dragons present, of which there were more than twenty, were all struck by an instinctive sense of bloodline pressure, and their bodies recoiled involuntarily as if they were being confronted by a paramount god to whom they had no choice but to concede.
“This… this is…” Bai Xue trembled as her features turned deathly pale.
Tears welled up in Chi Yu’s eyes as he gritted his teeth. “Why is it the Clear Origin Dragon? Why?!”
Indeed, the enormous being, which had appeared before their eyes, was riddled with countless wounds and his aura was severely diminished, but there was no mistaking it; he was none other than the traitor of the Azure Dragon Tribe, the one who had murdered Patriarch Azure Dragon, the Clear Origin Dragon!
Expressions of grief and indignation appeared on the faces of all of the True Dragons present, and they were about to unleash the slaughter formation they had set up.
However, the Clear Origin Dragon suddenly roared into the rift, “Azure Dragon! I have already sworn an oath to be loyal to you and the Azure Dragon Tribe for all of eternity! I have already surrendered, so why do you still insist on killing me?!”
A black figure flew out from the rift.
This was an extremely tiny figure compared to the Clear Origin Dragon, and it was as insignificant as an ant.
However, its boundless aura completely belied its stature and none of the True Dragons present could even muster up the urge to resist it. Furthermore, its aura was imbued with a hint of transcendence, as if it had ascended to a level beyond this heaven and earth.
“Hehehe… The vows of a God of Creation are among the most unreliable things in this world. I would be an idiot if I believed you! I absolutely detest betrayal, and even if you were once a brother of mine, I’m going to kill you today!” The little black dragon whipped his tail, and his body shot forth like a cannonball.
An expression of shock and horror appeared on the Clear Origin Dragon’s face. He had clearly been one on the receiving end of a brutal beating from the little black dragon.
“If that’s how you want to do this, then don’t blame me for taking you down with me!” the Clear Origin Dragon roared as a divine light erupted from his body. His essential power surged, and all of the dragon energy within a radius of tens of thousands of kilometers transformed into a vortex that flowed into his mouth before being expelled.
“Destruction Dragon World!”
The Clear Origin Dragon blasted out an azure river.
An Lin could see a boundless world within the river. This world was ruled by the mighty Dragon Tribe, and there were many living beings of other tribes residing within it as well. There were hills and mountains, rivers and oceans, as well as a sun, moon, and stars.
An Lin was astonished.
The Clear Origin Dragon had already been forced to such a desperate situation that he was hurling out his entire world to crush the little black dragon!
He could sense how terrifying this attack was. The entire world had transformed into this azure river, and its density and energy were both absolutely incredible. If this attack was to fall upon the Dragon Origin Star without any obstruction, the entire planet would be shattered!
A cold sneer appeared on the little black dragon’s face despite the fact that he was being confronted by an entire world. “You think you have what it takes to bring me down with you?”
He opened his mouth, and a stream of dark energy erupted forth. Initially, it was quite a small stream of energy, but it expanded and darkened at an alarming rate before extending forth in a sector shape. Within the darkness, countless spots of white light shimmered, as if it were a galaxy of stars.
The Clear Origin Dragon had thrown up an entire world.
In response, the little black dragon threw up a boundless starry sky!
Boom!
The two paramount powers clashed.
The entire world fell into darkness.
Everything slowed down significantly, almost to the point of becoming stationary.
A long time seemed to have passed by, but at the same time, only a split second seemed to have flashed past.
The boundless starry sky began to engulf the azure river world. The massive world crashed into the boundless starry sky and countless ripples were created, but it didn’t even come close to shattering the starry sky.
“No!” the Clear Origin Dragon roared with shock and horror before the dark starry sky engulfed his entire body and encompassed the entire heavens.
It was clearly supposed to be daytime on the Dragon Origin Star, but the clear sky was transformed into a vast expanse of inky blackness consisting only of a boundless galaxy of stars shimmering in the night.
Silence enveloped the entire planet.
All of the living beings were looking on wordlessly at the scenes unfolding before their eyes.
The little black dragon’s tiny body was seemingly going to merge into this starry sky. He didn’t strike a very noticeable figure, but all of the True Dragons present could sense a boundless, dazzling light shining from his body.
As for the Clear Origin Dragon, he had already completely disappeared into the starry sky.
Azure rain began to fall from the heavens.
It was as if heaven and earth were shedding tears of grief.
An Lin extended a hand to catch a few droplets of rain, and he was also struck by a sense of grief and sorrow.
He could see the Clear Origin Dragon’s dragon life from those droplets of rain. This was his journey in pursuing dao.
The Clear Origin Dragon wasn’t like Patriarch Azure Dragon. Patriarch Azure Dragon had been blessed by the universe ever since his birth, but the Clear Origin Dragon was born as a little snake that any living beings could trample upon. However, he refused to yield or give up, and he was unwilling to accept a mundane and mediocre life.
Thus, he began his endless journey to become more powerful, no matter the cost.
He could do the most underhanded things for food. He could fight with his life on the line for a spirit herb. He had sold eggs of other dragons, sold his friends and his family, he had killed his masters, and he had endured the most terrifying pain in this world.
He transformed from a snake into a wyrm, then into a dragon, then into an azure dragon with a supreme bloodline.
Along the way, he endured countless hardships, but he was also blessed by countless miracles and witnessed extremely vibrant and beautiful scenery. In the end, he learned one thing. He learned what the most alluring thing in this world was.
That thing was dao.
The meaning of life was dao.
The pursuit of dao was the pursuit of the true meaning of life.
He could give up everything for dao!
And he really did do that. In order to further his dao, he had even betrayed his closest brother…
In the end, he was denounced by the entire Dragon Tribe and died in disgrace. He didn’t reach the pinnacle in the end, and there was nothing even left of his corpse.
Was his life a failure?
If it was, then this azure rain would not be falling over the entire Dragon Origin Star.
No, this rain had even fallen upon the entire Azure Dragon Star System as well as tens of thousands of planets outside of the Azure Dragon Star System.
Gods of Creation had already attained essential powers and transcended beyond their respective worlds. Now that a God of Creation had fallen and their essence had been destroyed, the entire universe was in mourning.
“Is this the phenomenon triggered by the fall of a God of Creation?” Xu Xiaolan stared up at the rain in the sky and was struck by a sense of loss.
This rain was extremely beneficial to all super mighty figures at the Dao Integration Pinnacle Stage.
Some fortified their dao hearts, some gleaned the scenery witnessed by a God of Creation, and some had even awakened a brand new dao.
What did Xu Xiaolan see?
She saw an azure dragon flying into infinity and beyond.
There was no end to its journey, and after the azure dragon ran out of strength, it burned its blood as fuel to continue on its journey. When its blood ran dry, it used its bones and flesh as fuel. When its entire body was gone, it burned its own soul and continued to forge ahead.
In the end, it had nothing else to burn.
It had nothing left as it stood at the highest point in the sky, looking down upon the world. No one knew where it was, and no one cared about it. It struck a lonesome figure as it looked on at the unprecedented, spectacular scenes laid out before it. It looked on silently without saying nor doing anything before finally disappearing from heaven and earth.
