Volume 8: The Road to the Ancient Dragon Chapter 508: The Last Ancient Dragon King
I see!
It turns out that the five ancient gods were sent by the Lord of the Void to open the door!
Murphy thought to himself.
But for some unknown reason, Xal'atath died later, making it impossible to open the portal again.
At this moment, the ever-spreading power of the void has extended from the gate to this world.
At first glance, the ever-expanding body looked like a twisted black shadow, but if you looked closely, you could see that it seemed to contain all kinds of strange colors and spots of light, like a constantly wriggling ball of oil paint, presenting a series of kaleidoscopic illusions in front of Murphy's eyes.
It was a scene that did not belong to this world. In the material world, the void took on an indescribable strange form.
All matter that came into contact with the black shadow, whether it was trees or weeds, mountains or rivers, was submerged and dissolved, becoming part of the twisted shadow.
Murphy was horrified. This thing seemed to be devouring the world.
He saw it, and the ancient dragons could naturally see it clearly as well.
Galakrond (King of Ancient Dragons): "Brothers, protect this world and destroy this void evil god from the other side of the starry sky, for the glory of Tiahhamut!"
With a dragon roar, Galakrond took the lead in launching an attack. The ancient dragons rushed forward, spraying red dragon thunder while charging.
Countless red electric currents spurted out of Galakrond's huge dragon mouth, releasing destructive energy like a thunderstorm.
A dragon laser shot out tens of thousands of meters away, and the red lightning streaked across the sky, illuminating the sky.
The strange shape made up of the power of the void flashed dark red light under the bombardment of dragon thunder, and was torn into huge wounds by the dragon thunder, like a giant worm shrinking under electric shock.
Other ancient dragons also launched attacks.
At first glance, it seems to be quite effective.
But soon, the shadow of the void suddenly expanded.
Its body expanded almost exponentially , instantly covering the sky. Even Galakrond's body, as majestic as a mountain, seemed insignificant in front of the power of the void, and the shadow of the void instantly swallowed up the ancient dragons.
A vast and deep voice came from the dark shadow.
Will of the Void (???): "Ignorant reptiles, your tiny power is meaningless in front of the void. Your fragile resistance is a futile struggle. The void is destined to devour everything. The stars, the sun, and even everything in the universe will be mine...
Now, accept the power I bestow upon you and become my servants."
A strange light flickered in the shadow of the void, and Murphy's vision was completely shrouded in the darkness of the void. He felt a strange power eroding his body, and the will of the void seemed to be using the power of the void to transform these ancient dragons.
Seeing his followers trapped by the will of the void, the Dragon God Tiahhamut finally took action.
He suddenly opened his eyes, and a strange dark golden light burst out from his body.
With a wave of his hand, time and space seemed to be torn apart in an instant.
The huge body that stretched for dozens of kilometers was instantly cut into a huge gap, extending from the edge to the depths of the void shadow for more than ten kilometers.
The ancient dragons escaped from the gap one after another, and the void shadows at the gap turned into countless tentacles to try to catch the escaped fish, but the ancient dragons sprayed deadly dragon thunder while dodging flexibly, and escaped at an astonishing speed.
They surrounded the Dragon God, waiting for the next instruction.
Murphy noticed that these ancient dragons were not corroded by the void. It seemed that the ancient dragons' own strong resistance was still very powerful.
Tiahhamut (Dragon God): "The Void Will is the embodiment of the void world, the opposite of the material universe. It cannot be destroyed, but can only be stopped. This world is resisting its invasion. Only through the Void Gate can it continue to flow into reality to attack those ancient gods and stop their evil rituals. As long as the Void Gate is destroyed, the power of the Void Will will stop growing.
As for the Void Will, leave it to me to deal with."
Galakrond (King of the Ancient Dragons): "You all heard it. Attack the ancient dragons, destroy the Ancient Gods, follow me!"
Galakrond decisively chose the weakest Xal'atath and swooped down with his huge body. The violent wind made the ancient gods' followers flying in the sky fly in all directions like fallen leaves in a storm. The dragons targeted Xal'atath, but the dragon god faced the ever-expanding body of the Will of the Void.
Murphy was overwhelmed. He paid attention to Galakrond's bombing of Xal'atath below, and then switched back to pay attention to the Dragon God.
This won't do! After switching perspectives several times, Murphy decisively chose to focus on the battle of the Dragon God. This level of battle is not something you usually have the opportunity to see.
The Will of the Void continuously expands its power to the surrounding space, covering the sky and flooding the earth.
For an existence at this level, there seems to be no concept of skill at all. As long as it releases its own power into this world, it is enough to destroy everything.
The void is the opposite of the material world, which means that all matter can be annihilated and destroyed.
From Murphy's perspective, the dark shadow continued to spread, as if it was going to swallow up the entire world.
On the other hand, the Dragon God looks much more serious.
Tiahhamut (Dragon God): "I am the Dragon God, the protector of the world, the ruler of all things. Storms, fire, earth, ice, time, space, and everything else obey my command!"
Countless rays of light around him converged on him, and his human-like body kept changing its luster and color, first rock, then bronze, and then gold. The golden light flowed and brewed, gradually becoming restrained and solid, like a statue.
boom!
A wave of energy shot out from his hand into the void.
The beam of light was swallowed up instantly, silently. Just as Murphy was feeling regretful, light bloomed from within the void shadow.
The shadow energy in the void shadow was quickly dissipated, and the huge black cloud that spread for hundreds of kilometers instantly lost its dark color and turned into golden light spots all over the sky, flickering and falling in the sky, like countless stars.
Below the disappearing black cloud, a patch of ground was left that was filled with strange and colorful light.
Is this a serious blow to the opponent?
Murphy was puzzled. The problem was that there was no damage number, no health bar, and even no screams. It was really hard to tell who had the advantage.
The void shadows in the portal continued to pour out, and in the blink of an eye they spread to an area of more than ten kilometers.
Will of the Void (???): "It's useless - tiny god, you can temporarily wear away my power, but you can't resist forever. My power is endless. I am the void, I am everything, your world is doomed to fall.
Take your kind and flee this universe. This may be your only chance to save yourself."
Tiahamut (Dragon God): "Oh, is that so. Void Will, perhaps you have the power of the entire void world, but in this world, you are just an outsider, you have not yet truly arrived."
roar!
A deafening roar came from the ground. Murphy looked down and saw that Galakrond had actually torn Xal'atath's body apart. His huge dragon claws trampled on the broken flesh and blood. Countless followers of the old gods besieged Galakrond, gnawing at its mountainous body, but Galakrond's huge body ignored all the damage. His huge dragon claws stirred the dark flesh and blood inside Xal'atath's body.
The other ancient dragons tore at those huge tentacles, drove away the followers of other ancient gods who came to reinforce, and continuously bombarded the cracked body of Xal'atath with dragon thunder.
Although Xal'atath struggled hard, he could no longer maintain the power of the portal.
那暗影的大门缓缓缩小。
The seemingly endless body of the Void Will was also being cut in half.
Tiahamut (Dragon God): "Look, invader from the void world, your servants have failed, and my warriors have thwarted your plans."
The Dragon God gathered his strength once again and blasted out another beam of light, once again melting away a large area of void shadows.
At this moment, through the shrinking door of the void, one can vaguely see a figure that seems deeper and darker, looking at this side from afar.
That is the true essence of the Will of the Void. What was just destroyed was just an extension of some power.
The voice came from the other side of the door.
Void Will (???): "Haha, do you think so? But this is just the beginning. Time is meaningless to me. Even ten thousand years is just a moment to me. You may have stopped me this time, but next time, you will have no chance.
The seeds of the abyss have been planted. One day I will return again, and when that time comes, you and your warriors will no longer exist."
Tiahamut (Dragon God): "The ancient dragon is an immortal being. The moment you return, I will stop you once again."
Will of the Void (???): "Immortality? Hehe, then let me leave a little gift for your ' warriors ' - Xal'atath, you useless waste, come to me!"
The torn body of Sartharion suddenly floated in the air, and the black flesh-like substances continued to gather in the air. A huge suction force attracted them together, forming a huge flesh-and-blood ball with an extremely smooth surface.
Will of the Void (???): "In the name of the void, guided by the flesh and blood of the Ancient Gods, transformed into an eternal curse, accept this gift of flesh and blood from the void, feel the stickiness of life, feel the warmth of flesh and blood, and feel the filth of the soul!"
Boom! The huge meat ball exploded instantly, turning into a blood mist that filled the sky and spread everywhere.
The whole world seemed to be shrouded in blood red.
The other four ancient gods fled from here frantically, fearing that they would be targeted by the Lord of the Void and used as spellcasting materials.
As expected, Yakir was engulfed by the red mist.
Murphy felt a terrible feeling spreading from all parts of his body, and red spots appeared on his immortal body, like the color of rust.
The void energy left behind when the body was previously invaded by the power of the void echoed with the blood mist from the outside, as if there were a thousand worms wriggling in the body.
The other ancient dragons suffered the same fate, with Galakrond bearing the brunt of the attack. He was almost completely covered by the red mist, with traces of flesh and blood beginning to appear all over his body.
The ancient dragons roared in fear. They felt the pain, but did not understand what was happening to them.
There was finally a ripple and a hint of anger on the Dragon God's face.
Tiahamut (Dragon God): "You shouldn't have done that."
As soon as he raised his hand, the light on his body instantly faded, leaving only the energy in his palm, which was compressed to a certain size. The extreme compression made the energy form a mini black hole, and no matter what material could escape, not even light. From the outside, it seemed as if the Dragon God was holding a black sphere in his hand.
It was extremely dark, but in the sight of the Ancient Dragon’s Eye, the black sphere was extremely bright.
He pushed hard, and the black sphere flew into the closing void gate at a speed faster than light, hitting the dark figure directly.
A dazzling light suddenly burst out behind the door. At the moment when the door of the void closed, Murphy seemed to see the black figure being swallowed by the light, forming a strange glowing human-shaped phantom.
A distressed voice came from behind the door.
Void Will (???): "No, what have you done to me...!"
The gate to the void is closed.
The world is safe again, but the ancient dragon clan has fallen into dire straits.
"Lord Dragon God, save us."
"We cannot resist this curse."
"I feel so bad! Lord Dragon God!"
Tiahamut (Dragon God): "Follow me, my people."
He flew towards the distance with the ancient dragon and landed on a mountain.
A piece of fallen building debris from the Sky City hit the top of the mountain, forming a broken platform.
The Dragon God landed on the platform. He looked at the ancient dragons around him that were constantly being rotten by flesh and blood, and a clear crack appeared on his calm face.
"Lord Dragon God, your body?"
Tiahhamut (Dragon God): "All use of power must bear its price. I mobilized the power of the entire world to repel the Void Will and severely damage it. For a short period of time, it will not be able to pose a threat to this world.
But my body is overwhelmed and on the verge of collapse. I can feel that my strength is slipping away and I can no longer save you, my people.
The fall of the ancient dragon clan is inevitable, but don't worry, you will not die, at least not for now.
You will lose your immortality, and this curse of flesh and blood will bring you another form of life. In the long years to come, you must learn to master new powers to protect yourself.
If you want to return to the Sky City to get something, leave immediately. Once your corruption is complete, that city will no longer welcome you."
Crack. The cracks on the Dragon God's face began to spread. His dragon wings shattered and turned into many tiny rock fragments, floating behind him.
"Lord Dragon God, are you going to die?"
Tiahamut (Dragon God): "No, I will not die. I am a god outside of time, a monarch outside of reality. I do not belong to the present, the past, but only to the future. My body will soon collapse, my power will also be dispersed, but my destiny will not perish.
One day the lost power will be reassembled, and I will return. Yakir, Midir, you two stay, and as for the rest - go, my people, find your own way, and we will meet again. "
The dragons reluctantly flew away in a cloud of gloom, flying towards the city in the sky. This would be the last time they returned to their home. From now on, the ancient dragon clan would disappear, and the ancestor dragons would be scattered all over the world, meeting their own different destinies.
Only two dragons remained, Aqir and Midir.
Tiahhamut (Dragon God): "Midir, I have a task for you."
As the Dragon God spoke, he stretched out his hand, and in his hand was a piece of black crystal-like substance.
Tiahhamut (Dragon God): "I just used the power of time and space to find the heart of Xal'atath from the corpse of flesh and blood. If left unattended, Xal'atath will be resurrected.
Once the five ancient gods gather their power again, they will open the door to the void world again, and the Lord of the Void will return. Once this happens, the physical universe will be completely destroyed.
Midir, I want you to take it to the Sky City and hide it in the forbidden area of the Dragon Temple. Don't let anyone know about it."
Midir (Corrupted Elder Dragon): "I will do it."
Taking the strange black crystal, Midir spread his wings and flew into the air.
Murphy's perspective switched for the last time. At this moment, he was Yakir, watching the gradually shattered Dragon God in front of him as if he were there in person.
He could feel the corruption in Yakir corroding its body and transforming its life. The feeling was extremely uncomfortable.
He could also feel the ancient dragon's immortal power gradually dissipating, and he could even sense the uneasiness in Yakir's heart.
Tiahamut (Dragon God): "Yakir, you are my most trusted subordinate. I also have a mission for you. When I return, someone must complete the ritual of return. You must live as an ancient dragon and use the power and wisdom of an ancient dragon to guide that person and guide him to complete the ritual. This ritual only needs to be done in this way..."
Yakir (Corrupted Ancient Dragon): "Who is that person?"
Tiahamut (Dragon God): "You will know when that person appears."
Yakir (Corrupted Ancient Dragon): "But I have been corrupted by the curse of flesh and blood. I don't think I can hold on for much longer."
Tiahamut (Dragon God): "Of course you can, but it requires a little sacrifice... Are you willing to take on this responsibility? To bear these tens of thousands of years of loneliness?"
Akiel (Corrupted Ancient Dragon): "For your great Tiahhamut, I am willing to bear everything."
Tiahhamut (Dragon God): "So be it."
As he spoke, he swung his hand towards Yakir's chest, and his palm pierced through the ancient dragon's body like a piece of tofu.
Yakir was instantly struck with a fatal blow and turned into a dragon statue.
Murphy's eyes went dark.
Only the voice of the Dragon God echoed in my ears.
"Wait, Yakir, wait for the arrival of the prophesied person, wait for the moment when I return, complete the mission I entrusted to you, and guide the prophesied person..."
The sound gradually faded away and disappeared.
boom!
A thunderous explosion awakened Murphy from his illusion. He suddenly opened his eyes and felt his body, which was as old and immortal as rock.
The power of the ancient dragon that had been taken away from him returned again, making him feel as if he were in another world.
Nothing seems to have changed.
I am Gu Long!
The next second, time started to move again, and countless dragon breaths submerged Murphy.
Wait until the dragon's breath dissipates.
A giant dragon with a strange appearance appeared in front of the four dragon kings. It looked strange yet familiar, majestic yet kind.
Ancient dragon scales like rocks, four heavy dragon wings, a gaze like thunder, a graceful body like a sculpture, and the mighty dragon power that seems to be real...
Ancient Dragon! It actually transformed into an ancient dragon!
The four dragon kings couldn't believe it, and the memories that had long gone away were awakened again.
For a moment, I didn’t know whether I was sad or happy, angry or scared.
Alexstrasza (Dragon Queen): "This is impossible!"
Ysera (Green Dragon Queen): "By the Dragon King, the prophecy is true."
Malygos (Blue Dragon King): "Even if it is an ancient dragon, the Dragon God has fallen, and the ancient dragon clan has long been extinct. This is meaningless."
Nozdormu (Bronze Dragon King): "..."
roar!
Under the gaze of the four guardian dragons, the ancient dragon let out a roar that shook the clouds and soared into the sky.
The speed was so fast that the dragons had no time to react.
Murphy flew to a height of several thousand meters in an instant.
Although he had gained strength, he still needed some time to digest it and had to create some distance first.
The sound of system prompts rang in my ears.
