Golden Dragon: Six Thousand Years of Empire.

Chapter 205: Challenging the Nephew of the Dark Dragon Shadow
"Your Highness Noah, the Queen Mother invites you to come over for a chat."

When Noah saw Urnos wearing the crown, he was about to leave when a lady-in-waiting came to invite him.

"Edith? Lead the way."

He was already one of the few acquaintances in the royal capital Uther. Before leaving, Noah planned to meet him because he judged that he would not come here for a long time in the future.

"Noah."

After Tidel retired, Edith, who became the fighting force of the Augustus family and the strongest supporter of Urnos, smiled when she saw Noah coming.

"You really should take some rest!"

Even after being promoted to a legendary rank, her nearly perfect body could hardly conceal the tiredness on the face of the Queen Mother, who was of elven descent.

"I want to rest, but there are too many things to do."

Edith said helplessly.

"Hasn't Ur been promoted to Legend? You should have an easier time in the future."

"I'm afraid I'll be getting busier and busier, but fortunately the children in Ur are all grown up."

"Children of Ur? No, they are not mature enough and need more experience."

When talking about the fourth generation Augustus, Noah became much more serious. He placed a heavy bet and focused on training three of them. Other dragon lords also followed suit and invested a lot.

The three siblings, headed by Alexander, mostly train in the underground labyrinth built with funds from the Dragon Lord. They will suffer great hardships in the labyrinth, but without exception they will gain something and grow to some extent.

"I knew you would object."

Edith was not surprised to see Noah's reaction. She knew that the dragon in front of her had spent a lot of energy and resources to train the three siblings.
"But I'm not just talking about them."

"Oh?"

Noah immediately became interested.

"And the other two children?"

"Only Parvati. As for that child, he is so special."

Speaking of the son of hell, the honorable Queen Mother couldn't help but frown.

"With his current rate of progress, I think it won't be long before he surpasses his father."

"Hahaha, I'm really looking forward to this scene."

Of course Noah was curious, because Wayne was the fourth generation Augustus whom he could not see through and whom he could not understand the most, and he was also the biggest destabilizing factor in the Atlas Kingdom.

"So Ur is paying more and more attention to this child."

"You haven't recognized him yet? If you don't show your affection for your father now, you won't be able to recognize him later."

Noah joked that, in fact, even now, it would be difficult for Urnos to recognize Wayne because he basically has everything he needs.

He has money and connections, and in terms of reputation he even surpasses his sister Parvati, the natural demigod. He can be said to be the most popular person of the young generation in the Atlas Kingdom.

In comparison, the Alexander trio, trained by the Dragon Clan group headed by the Holy Dragon, were really mediocre and received no attention at all.

"I am his father, this is a fact that no one can change!"

While Noah and Edith were talking, a young king strode over, with disheveled black hair and sharp golden eyes. He was as powerful and sharp as a weapon that couldn't wait to be stained with blood.

"Indeed, in terms of blood relationship, you are indeed father and son. No one can deny this."

Noah admitted this, but his tone changed and he sounded a bit joking.
"Unfortunately, from Wayne's perspective, he is an orphan who has never had a father to raise, care for or teach him since he was a child. If someone came to him and wanted to become his father, I'm afraid..."

"He would not refuse to bear the name of Augustus, which was destined for greatness."

"Is it."

Noah remained silent. He never liked arguing with others. He just let the facts verify their point of view. It wouldn't take much time anyway.

Although Urnos is a bloodline inheritor with far greater talent than his father, he is far inferior to his grandfather.

If the degree of blood awakening is quantified, based on the information Noah learned from the ancestral dragon heritage, Cassius's blood awakening degree before the blood was extracted was probably 60% to 70% of that of a pure-blooded Titan.

Before falling into hell, Cassius was probably already quite close to being a pure-blooded Titan, with an awakening degree of about 80% to 90%.

But now Urnos, although he was born with the blood of the Titan, because his starting point was too high, he lacked a lot of tempering, especially in this humble time, he had experienced countless times of hovering between life and death.

Although he had trained as much as Cassius, it was precisely because he lacked those key points that he only completed one awakening before being promoted to Legend, and his blood awakening level was only about 30% to 40%. Compared with his adoptive father Cassius, it was completely not at the same level.

Of course, even if he has awakened the Titan bloodline to such a degree, it is more than enough to bully most legends. The Titan bloodline can give him extraordinary characteristics that allow him to surpass other legends even in the legendary realm.

"Let's stop here today. I don't think there will be anything else for me to do next, so I'll leave first."

The past was already recounted and the conversation was almost over, so Noah said goodbye. However,
"Uncle Noah!"

"Nephew, what's the matter?"

Noah looked at the young man standing in front of him. His facial features vaguely resembled Teddel, but he was more like his mother, a little delicate, but this did not affect his majestic demeanor.

"I heard that you have the power of an ancient dragon. I have recently made a breakthrough and have not been able to properly control my own power, so I would like to ask you to give me some guidance, just like you did when I was a child."

"Ur!"

As soon as Urnos spoke, Edith's expression changed. However, just as she opened her mouth, Noah in the form of a dragon man raised his palm to stop her.

"That's fine. It's natural for students to ask teachers for advice. I'll give you some pointers while I still have energy to spare."

Noah, who originally thought that this trip was a sheer waste of time, looked at the young man in front of him with a smile.
"Please choose a venue, preferably one that is private."

"It's natural."

Urnos also had a decent smile on his face, but when he turned around and was led by Noah, the smile on his face gradually disappeared, and his face was as cold and hard as stone. He remembered his childhood growth experience. At that time, he should have been personally instructed by his grandfather, but this uncle Noah got there first and attracted almost all the attention of his grandfather.

After going through so many hardships, he finally arrived at the training ground, but he was almost ignored. No matter how much blood and sweat he put in, it was difficult to attract his grandfather's attention. Therefore, most of the time, his training was guided by this uncle.

Of course, even now, he was convinced, because he had witnessed Uncle Noah's fighting talent, which was indeed above his, and he could only look up to him. He did not try to challenge him until he broke through the ultimate intention.

Because he knew that it was impossible for him to surpass his uncle in this realm, the dark shadow that had shrouded his head in his childhood would only become bigger. But now, he can try to remove this shadow.

"This demiplane is pretty good. Did you achieve your breakthrough here?"

Noah looked around. The strong wind was blowing sand and howling across the endless Gobi Desert. In the floating dust, he could vaguely see continuous mountain ranges standing in the distance. This was a demiplane with a very harsh environment and there was not much life in it.

Of course, it is not without advantages. The scale of this demiplane is quite astonishing. If Augustus manages it carefully, it can also become the foundation of the kingdom.

"Yes, that's where I got my promotion."

Urnos stood a hundred meters away from Noah, waiting quietly, but soon, his brows furrowed. Before he could ask, Noah's slightly confused voice came over through the wind and sand.

"what are you waiting for?"

"You won't return to your true form?"

Urnos knew too well what kind of combat power a dragon would have in different forms. Even in the form of a dragonman, the combat power a dragon could exert was less than 70% of its true form, or even worse.

"My true self?"

Noah couldn't help but let out a chuckle;
"This is a bit too much pressure on you. Although the only audience here is your mother, I still think I should give you some face."

"Save some face for me?"

Urnos nodded slowly.

"I understand!"

Crackling~

A flash of lightning pierced through a hundred meters of wind and sand, and a dazzling golden light slashed towards Noah's neck.

boom!
Lightning exploded, and a circular impact visible to the naked eye blew open a huge cavity with a radius of several thousand meters in the howling sandstorm.

The Nine Swords Master, who was originally observing from the edge of the battlefield, frowned and continued to retreat a distance. When the lightning faded, the short-lived cavity had already been completely covered by the sandstorm that followed.

"Nephew, why are you competing with me?"

With a pair of brilliant wings folded behind him and his body covered with majestic and thick golden dragon scales, the dragon man raised his palm and stretched out two fingers that were also covered with tiny scales, just right to block the sharp blade that was originally intended to chop his neck.

This is a long and narrow cutting blade with intricate alchemical patterns on it. It is an alchemical weapon close to the legendary level and is more than enough to cut through the scales of a dragon.

Unfortunately, Noah is no ordinary dragon, and the Sword Bearer at this moment is merely the King of Atlas who has maintained his human form in order to preserve his self-esteem.

"I know you want to force me to reveal my true form, but your current state is far from enough. It's hard for me to get interested."

Noah lowered his head, and his dazzling golden dragon eyes illuminated the face of the young man in front of him who was unable to hide his shock.
"We are different. I am a pure-blooded ancestral golden dragon, and you are just a mixed-blooded hybrid. You should have expected the gap between us."

The moment he finished speaking, Noah put his fingers together to form a knife, and slashed down like a golden sword.

boom!
The sandstorm was cut open, and the natural disaster that had swept across the demiplane was once again blocked. However, it was not only the sandstorm that was cut off, but also the barren land under Noah's feet. A cut that was difficult to see the bottom of, stretched to the end of the line of sight, and it was unknown how many miles long it was.

"The response is not slow!"

Noah looked down at his right hand which was covered with dragon scales. On the fine dragon scales, blood was dripping with golden arcs.

"Nephew, the teaching has begun. If you keep it, it will be more than just a few broken skins."

boom!
The sandstorm that had just started exploded again, and Noah disappeared on the spot. At the same time, a sharp sound of breaking wind was heard.

"Why don't you listen to me?"

boom--

A circular impact mixed with golden lightning and dark energy spread in the air, revealing a huge cavity of even more astonishing size. Inside the cavity, there was not a single rock or gravel, and it was so clean that it made people frightened.

And at the core of the cavity, there were two humanoid figures holding swords and fighting each other.

"My father's sword!"

Urnos stared at the greatsword held in the dragon man's hand and recognized the sword at a glance.

"Yes, this is your father's sword."

Noah held the sword in one hand, and the blade gradually pressed down as his arm exerted force. Amid the sour and twisted metal friction and the sound of crystal shattering, the sword tip gradually approached Urnos's shoulder.

"Why don't you reveal your true form as a Titan?
There is no need to be so stubborn when fighting against me. You should be well aware of the power of the Titan bloodline. Have you forgotten that I have a complete bloodline of the same level as the Titan bloodline?

Fighting me with all your strength is still your best choice. Don't think that you can hold back against me just because you have been promoted to Legendary and your life essence has been transformed. You are still a little short of that."

Roar--

Even under such pressure from Noah, Urnos was still too stubborn to use his true form, and kicked Noah in the waist with his big feet wrapped in metal boots.

boom~
Noah did not dodge or evade his nephew's little trick, and let the kick hit his waist. A dull impact sound was heard, and in the explosive air wave, Urnos's face was distorted for a moment, but soon it became expressionless and there was no abnormality.

Because he felt like he had kicked a solid metal mountain that towered into the sky. The mountain was fine, but his foot was almost broken.

This was a huge gap that made people despair and incomprehensible. The existence in front of him was not even a legend, but he had such a terrifying body. It didn't make sense at all.

Urnos had been to countless battlefields since he left home. He had even fought against the most terrifying Balor, but even the most terrifying demon in the abyss had never made him feel such a disparity and gap.

For the first time in his life, he felt the despair brought about by the gap in strength and physique. This was probably how his enemies felt when fighting him.

But now, this incomprehensible look and gaze appeared on him.
