Volume 8: The Road to the Ancient Dragon Chapter 507: The Dragon God Awakes
Murphy's eyes widened, and the stone statue in front of him quickly regained its vivid color. He thought to himself, weren't the ancient dragons dead? And weren't the ancient dragons corrupted by the ancient god's flesh and blood curse?
The answer was revealed instantly.
The giant dragon that the stone statue transformed into still had part of its body made of rock, while the other part was wriggling with hideous flesh and blood. It seemed that it had not yet been completely transformed and looked shocking.
The flesh and blood part was spreading rapidly, constantly eroding the ancient rock-like body.
And on the chest of this strange dragon, a huge wound suddenly appeared.
And on the dragon's head, its name is displayed.
'Into Corruption' Yakir (King of Ancient Dragons), level 99, world-class fourth-order BOSS, health points: 109765/694500.
The curse of flesh and blood was spreading rapidly on its rocky body, taking on a hideous and ugly appearance.
'Into Corruption' Yakir (King of Ancient Dragons): "Now you see the real me. I have been incarnated as a stone statue for tens of thousands of years, waiting for this final moment. Dragon Eater, you have completed challenges that ordinary people cannot reach. You have achieved unprecedented achievements. Now, come to fulfill your final destiny.
Please give me a decent ending before I become completely corrupt."
As he was speaking, the flesh and blood had already corroded from his limbs to his body.
As Murphy listened and watched, his mind quickly replayed what had happened in the past.
Obviously, Yakir was once an ancient dragon. After being cursed by flesh and blood, he suffered a fatal blow before being completely transformed, which triggered the stone statue effect of the ancient dragon's body.
Then it spent tens of thousands of years in the form of a stone statue. In this state, Yakir was both an ancient dragon and not an ancient dragon. Once it left the stone statue form, it would quickly decay.
It can be said to be an ancient dragon in quantum form.
Until now.
boom!
Dragon thunder sounded again. Murphy looked up and it seemed that with the corruption of Yakir, the dragon thunder storm was quickly disappearing. The last lightning illuminated the sky red.
The four dragon kings seemed to have discovered the flaw and were preparing to launch an attack.
There is no time to hesitate.
Murphy immediately changed back into human form, took out the dragon-slaying giant sword, and stabbed it into Yakir's chest with all his strength.
Phew!
-109765 (critical hit)!
Yakir let out a sigh of relief and fell to the ground with a thud.
The decay of the flesh and blood also stopped, and Yakir's body once again solidified into the shape of a rock statue. However, this time, Murphy could feel that it was really just lifeless rock.
Picked up the body.
Yakir only dropped one item.
[The Dragon Heart of the Ancient Dragon Yakir]
Item Introduction: The dragon heart of the last ancient dragon king, Yakir, who "stepped into corruption". Yakir was the last survivor of the ancient dragon clan, and therefore obtained the title of king. The lonely king was unwilling to accept the fate of being doomed to corruption, and maintained his last dignity in the form of a stone statue. Because he died as an ancient dragon, this dragon heart still retains the last power of the ancient dragon clan. 】
Murphy looked at the dragon heart in his hand. The golden dragon heart was like a piece of soft gold.
Looking at the rock statue in front of him, an unprecedented shock left him speechless for a long time.
Boom!
Finally, a giant dragon passed through the range of the dragon thunder storm, and then one giant dragon after another rushed in.
The storm is dissipating, and the four dragon kings are coming to attack.
Murphy gritted his teeth and took a bite.
The original power in the dragon's heart was extremely huge and surged into his body.
Murphy felt as if everything around him had slowed down. Every second seemed as long as a century, and the changes in every atom became clearly visible.
This mysterious feeling made him let out a refreshing dragon roar, and he instantly transformed into the form of a giant dragon.
The power of origin filled the shortcomings of his body, and his broken dragon wings were restored piece by piece as if time was reversed. His body made crackling sounds like rock, and his soul instantly merged with his body.
His will spread in all directions, and the real world turned into lines of energy in his eyes...
All the ancient dragon characteristics are perfectly integrated at this moment.
Alexstrasza roared in shock and anger: "No! Stop it!"
A burst of dragon flame spurted towards him.
Malygos, who was flying at the top, released a forbidden magic. Malygos's Breath of Annihilation, a beam of pure arcane energy, blasted out like a railgun.
Ysera summoned a horrible nightmare, and countless horrible nightmare creatures emerged from the darkness on all sides.
Nozdormu summoned the power of time, as if planning something big.
However, Murphy did not pay attention to all this. In his perception, time had already stopped.
The familiar scene of the city in the sky appeared before his eyes.
That is a memory engraved deep within the dragon's soul...
…
boom!
The sound of dragon thunder woke Murphy up. He looked at the familiar scene in front of him and couldn't help but be stunned.
It's the castle in the sky! Is this the dreamland of Yakir's memory?
I didn't expect that in the past it could only be triggered when I was sleeping in reality, but this time it entered immediately after completing the Dragon Feast.
He had a feeling that this dream might very well tell him the causes and consequences of many things.
At this moment, the battle in the Sky City is still going on.
The ferocious ancient god released filthy flesh and blood, and its dark tentacles defiled the sacred city.
Countless ancient dragons were roaring, dragon thunder streaked across the sky, the Dragon King was defeated, and the ancient gods were rampant, until the magnificent ancient city began to tremble, and the City in the Sky welcomed its true master.
The Dragon God has awakened!
The Dragon God has awakened!
The Dragon God has awakened!
Countless voices are shouting.
A mysterious and captivating aura emanated from the depths of the Sky City, causing even the ancient gods to tremble.
Right above a square in the center of the city, inside a golden sphere, a figure was slowly walking out of solidified time.
At this moment, Murphy was flying in the sky. He was not sure who he was. Midir? Or Yakir? But it was definitely not Ulayn.
What surprised Murphy was that the figure was not huge, and even from the perspective of the dragon clan, it could be called miniature.
His eyes looked at the figure walking out of the golden sphere. The Dragon God did not look like a dragon. He had a body similar to that of a human, but with dragon wings, tail, and horns.
His face also had some dragon features, and he walked in the air as if he was strolling in his own garden.
His gaze was like frozen time. It was impossible to see any color of life or any change of emotion. He just stared calmly at the monsters running rampant under his feet, as if he was looking down at tiny ants and lifeless dust.
This contempt was so clearly visible that the ancient god Xalatath finally became angry. Countless towering tentacles extended from his mountain-like body and entangled towards the Dragon God.
Tiahhamut just waved his hand gently.
Time froze in an instant, and all the tentacles stopped in mid-air. The next second, they turned into countless gravel like weathered rocks and scattered all over the sky.
Xal'atath let out a cry of pain, and his mountain-like body trembled.
It did not continue to attack, but instead extended tens of millions of tentacles, pulling it towards the edge of the sky city.
Murphy suddenly found that his perspective was moving rapidly towards the direction of the Dragon God, and landed in front of the figure in a submissive posture.
Midir (Ancient Dragon): "Great Dragon God, won't you destroy this evil creature?"
Tiahhamut (Dragon God): "This is just one of the many evil creatures from the void world. Their masters sent them here to occupy this world. It is meaningless to destroy them. Their masters must be completely defeated to truly eliminate the threat. Come with me, Yakir, Midir."
As the Dragon God spoke, he flew towards the direction where Xal'atath had escaped, with two loyal ancient dragons following closely on his left and right.
The ancient dragon chased Xal'atath like a pack of predatory wolves, and dragon thunder continuously bombarded its mountain-like body. Xal'atath had no intention of resisting. It crawled into the air from the edge of the city. Its huge body could even float in the air, and countless tentacles stretched into the air like sails.
The huge body glided in the air in an ugly posture.
The dragons followed closely behind.
When Murphy's perspective followed the Dragon God through the clouds, the ancient land appeared before his eyes.
The earth now presents a primitive and hideous scene, with towering trees and vines stretching as far as the eye can see, and green covering all the land.
However, in this green natural world, there are several huge bodies that extend countless tentacles. They devour all living matter while rooting their tentacles in the ground and extending and digging downwards.
Their bodies are extremely strange.
Or it may have a body like a mountain of flesh, with an extremely huge eyeball standing on the top of the mountain of flesh.
Some have a bizarre appearance like that of acanthocephali, with tentacles and eyeballs growing on a marine-like skin.
Some of them were filled with shadow energy, like a dark strange cloud rising thousands of meters, transforming all life it touched into monsters covered in black air.
Some opened their terrifying giant mouths as if they could swallow everything, swallowing countless giant trees and the earth into their stomachs.
The five ancient gods!
Murphy recognized it immediately.
I have to say, they are much scarier than those on the game's promotional posters. All the horrible details are clearly presented, the kind that makes people want to have nightmares when they see them.
The five ancient gods seemed to be communicating. Their tentacles devoured each other, making them look like they were fighting but also communicating.
Murphy noticed a familiar guy. A huge eyeball grew out of his body that looked like a mountain of flesh. The eyeball alone was hundreds of meters in diameter, and the body below the eyeball was even more like a mountain of flesh.
Is it C'Thun? Damn, this thing is much bigger than the one I fought.
'Thousand-Eyed God' C'Thun (Ancient God), level 149, health 5950000.
Murphy suddenly realized that this was the true strength of C'Thun. The one he and the Emperor Shenwu defeated was just a temporary condensed shell.
The other four are equally powerful.
'Seven-Eyed Demonic Ram' Y'Shaarj (Ancient God): Level 154, HP: 7,000,000.
'Thousand Maws' Yogg-Saron (Ancient God): Level 152, HP: 6575000.
'Nzoth, the God of Nightmares' (Old God): Level 148, HP: 4990000
'Doom Crawler' Xal'atath (Ancient God): Level 144, HP: 4450000.
The average level is 150. You should know that the current level cap of the game is only 100, and only the crazy Deathwing exceeded this level cap.
Murphy couldn't help but feel curious, what level is the Dragon God?
He zoomed in and tried to look above the Dragon God's head.
Tiahhamut (Dragon God) Rank: ??? HP: ??? Level: ???
I can't even see it.
Although the level cannot be seen, this unquantifiable strength alone is clearly higher than the five ancient gods.
Murphy couldn't figure out how the Dragon God could fall? How did the blood and flesh curse lead to the destruction of the ancient dragon clan?
At this time, the dragons had gathered in the sky and were circling. The five ancient gods and the many clans derived from their bodies occupied the earth, and the two sides confronted each other in the air.
The ten dragon kings all gathered around the Dragon God, waiting for his orders.
Tiahhamut (Dragon God): "The four elemental kings have been defeated by these evil creatures from the void. They are unable to protect this world. Now this world can only be protected by us. Fight, my people, fight, ancient dragons, destroy these monsters and purify this world."
Following the Dragon God's order, the battle began. Ancient dragons swooped down from the sky and blasted the ugly monsters on the ground with destructive dragon thunder.
Countless faceless men, strange insects, and evil creatures infected by evil energy soared into the sky and fought with the ancient dragon.
But the five ancient gods did not participate in the battle. Instead, they each gathered their strength and turned the void power in their bodies into beams of light, shooting them into the sky.
The evil aura of Az'arj, the psionic power of C'Thun, the dark arcane of Yogg-Saron, the nightmare power of N'Zoth, and the corrupt power of Xal'atath.
The five forces collided with each other, merged with each other, and gradually formed a huge vortex composed of shadow energy.
The space was torn apart, and the dark cracks spread to the surrounding space.
The ancient dragons roared in anger. Such destruction would undermine the stability of the entire world and would be almost impossible to repair.
However, the Dragon God Tiahhamut just watched it all calmly.
until--
The shadow energy formed a huge vortex entrance with a diameter of more than ten kilometers. A huge dark image was slowly crawling out of the vortex.
Void Will (???) Level: ??? HP: ???
This is another case where the system cannot determine the level and rank.
The Will of the Void... Could it be the legendary Lord of the Void?
Murphy widened his nonexistent eyes, afraid of missing any detail.
Void Lord! This Void Lord only exists in the background setting of World of Warcraft. Legend has it that he is the master of the Ancient Gods. The five Ancient Gods that make the world fear and despair are just five pets sent by him.
Murphy secretly guessed that the reason why there were so many ??? ??? was probably because the existence of these two things exceeded the upper limit that the game system could quantify.
It’s like when the data of some games reaches a certain level, they cannot be displayed normally.
Even ordinary gods may not be able to achieve this effect. Most likely, it must be the leader of the void forces, the Lord of the Void.
Unlike the Dragon God's tiny body like that of a human, the size of this Void Will is so huge that even the huge vortex of more than ten kilometers cannot reveal its entire body.
However, since its body is not solid, it can squeeze out of this "narrow" passage.
