Under the Red Dragon.

Chapter 439 The Metamorphosis of Laws
"Lipnos once personally traveled to another world ruled by a legendary Chosen One to compete with the absolute overlord of that world, the Queen Insect, for a Law-Shattering Relic left behind by a former Chosen One,"

Sheila looked at the dragonman in front of her, whose scales were radiating an unimaginably terrifying magical light, and couldn't help but swallow her slightly sour saliva.

As a master-level legendary mage who controls the elements, and the main controller of the Astral Hunters team, Sheila knows what this means.

Every scale on the body of the ancestral dragon, Karon Goggmora, was a magical material coveted by these legendary mages for forging magical treasures.

If Sheila were to obtain enough dragon scales to forge a legendary artifact, she was confident that she could increase her elemental control power by nearly three percent.

Sheila knew that some dragons had a penchant for magic, taking pride in and indulging in carving all sorts of magical and powerful spells on their scales.

Even though those dragons themselves are not of a high level of life, they can still exert the strength to fight against those of higher levels by relying on their skin-carving techniques. Not to mention the combined comprehensive qualities of the dragons themselves, making the skin-carving dragons a powerful and unique synonym among dragons.

However, Sheila and the other astral hunters could see that the scales on the True Dragon Emperor's body possessed a power that could directly project magic, which was far superior to the abilities and methods of those hide-wearing dragons.

Therefore, Sheila's mage instincts began to make her secretly drool over the scales on Kalon Goggmora, just as a dragon drools over treasure.

Kalon ignored the gazes of these astral hunters; to him, such gazes were not offensive.

To this day, wherever Karon goes, she attracts many strange and covetous glances, whether driven by female instinct or by a strong possessive desire.

If ordinary beings were given everything that Charon has achieved, they might be a hundred times more arrogant than Charon.

Kalon, however, asked with extreme humility, "The Metamorphosis of Laws? I have only seen descriptions of such things in some books, but I have never seen such a thing in person."

The legendary mage Joro's eyes shone brightly, a light almost comparable to that of a dragon's pupils.

He took over the conversation, saying, "It's quite normal for His Majesty Gogmora, with his noble dragon blood, to overlook the vestiges of law left behind by a legendary chosen one."

"After all, the dragon race is blessed with unique advantages. The bloodline they are born with, through continuous growth, almost possesses the rudiments of laws. The dragon blood in those dragons that grow into ancient dragons is nothing but an outward manifestation of laws."

"Moreover, although there are quite a few legendary chosen ones in this star field that spans hundreds of large material planes, they are extremely rare compared to the sheer number of other beings,"

"If it weren't for the fact that our group of Astral Hunters learned a lot from those powerful organizations that had been operating in the Astral Realm for many years, in order to avoid risks..."

"We need to know what kind of people we can provoke and what kind of people we can't even look at. We also have difficulty accessing such secret realms, even though we consider ourselves to be quite powerful among the legendary figures."

"However, for someone like His Majesty King Gogmora, if he wanted to know about these hidden common sense facts, it was just a matter of waving his hand."

Caron nodded slightly, ignoring the mage's deliberate flattery, which was gleaming with covetousness, and gestured for the mage, Joro, to continue.

"The most essential part of a living being comes from its soul, which is why demons and devils always covet the souls of living beings and regard the souls of all living beings as the highest value currency."

The sorcerer Qiao Luo spoke eloquently: "Even those who believe in the gods take the fervent souls of all beings as their companions, because the divine power of faith is based on the essence of the souls of all beings and is transformed and born by the rules."

"The legendary chosen ones are at the pinnacle of power in the universe, and the most powerful among them are even capable of single-handedly confronting multiple gods,"

"In an extremely ancient era, there once existed a powerful magical empire in the universe. This magical empire not only contained legendary magical kings, but also a magical council at the demigod level, and even the most powerful legendary chosen one—the magical emperor!"

The glint in Joro's eyes transformed into reverence and remembrance. He said, "The Magic Emperor once accomplished a momentous feat, leading his magic kings to intercept the magic goddess who sought to descend upon this mortal realm in the astral plane."

"The Magic Emperor even personally defeated the Goddess of Magic and imprisoned her. Through studying the Goddess of Magic, the Magic Emperor once uttered a lament that has long been lost to the dust of history—'The Goddess of Magic's understanding of magic is not as good as that of a mortal.'"

Even with Caron's arrogance, he couldn't help but grimace slightly upon hearing those words.

Almost all extraordinary and powerful people in the world possess unparalleled confidence and arrogance, but based solely on the Magic Emperor's remarks, Caron could easily imagine the emperor's aura.

"Otherwise, would the ancient magical empire have committed such an earth-shattering act?"

Kalon recalled the secrets that the old mage Laper and the squinty-eyed mage Xiusil had once told him.

However, the old mage Laperth, who was both a mentor and friend to Caron, was quite talented, but he still had not yet reached the legendary level.

Because Laperth had a premonition that in this era, it would be extremely dangerous to try to ascend to legendary status through a self-constructed system built with prophetic magic and to acquire the authority over the laws related to destiny in the future.

Laperth even declared in a conversation with Charon that even the gods who have the power of destiny dare not easily peek into the future, because even the gods are afraid of their own fate.

Therefore, Laperus has been unable to make a decision for a long time, so he spends his days in the Department of Magic Research, using his current status as the Dragon Emperor's mentor to "do evil" and make many mages work for him for free.

Laperth would only hand out boxes of photocopied magic textbooks to the expectant mages afterward, claiming with certainty that these were the basic knowledge that the Dragon Emperor of the Golden Empire had once studied, laying an incredibly solid foundation for the True Dragon Emperor's current achievements.

Laperth therefore calls himself the first mage of the Golden Empire, and as the name suggests, a teacher of magic!

Caron shook his head slightly, trying to dispel these distracting thoughts.

The mage, Joro, continued, "The legendary chosen ones are so powerful that they also bear immense pressure; the greater the power, the heavier the burden."

"Although every being who embarks on the path to legendary status is a person of unparalleled talent, there are differences even among the gods, let alone among the legends."

"Some legendary destinies, after reaching their limit in terms of their own capacity, will fall into a predicament of losing themselves and will be gradually assimilated by the rules."

"And the legendary destinies who were ultimately completely assimilated have merged into the rules embedded in the universe. But the last essence of their existence is the metamorphosis of the laws. This is also the existence that the legendary destinies lost. Once it completely disappears, the existence is the last echo and trace of the legendary destinies in the world." Qiao Luo paused slightly, revealing an expression of both longing and fear, and sighed deeply: "The existence of these legendary destinies is like the essence of the soul of a living being. It is also the metamorphosis of the laws of those legendary destinies. Or, to put it another way, this is the divine fire light that the legendary destinies left behind after failing to ascend to godhood."

"Many legendary destinies are able to use the metamorphosis of laws to complete their own rule system. Even if the paths are not compatible, they can still be used as nourishment for the continued growth of their own laws."

"How exactly did Lipunos and another legendary destiny contend for the transformation of the laws?"

Kalon asked, "Although the Golden Empire has now begun to step out of the world of Ekania, the Empire's current goal is only those small material planes, and it has not yet touched those large material planes with great power."

Therefore, it is understandable that they do not have as much information as those forces that have stood firm in the astral plane for a long time.

But both the mage Joro and Sheila were interrupted by a knight in white hunter armor.

Knight Goto's demands for Caron were no less than those of his other companions.

Because Knight Goto created a secret training method in order to advance to the legendary level, which is closely related to the future achievement system.

As a knight, the framework of laws that is constructed after ascending to legend is not related to power, but to the evolution of life.

As one of the world's cultivation and evolution systems, some legendary warriors temper their physical bodies, using their powerful blood energy as a means to unleash attacks that shake the stars.

The secret law created by the legendary knight Gauto allows one to stimulate their body with the essence of various powerful beings, transforming and evolving in conjunction with the nascent form of their own law, thereby gaining access to the most core abilities and essence of those beings.

Therefore, Knight Goto is not only the main attacker in this Astral Hunter team, but also a very versatile warrior.

The essence and blood of the ancestral true dragons are already rare treasures in the world, let alone the first supreme king of the true dragon race in the world of Ekania.

Not only in the world of Ekania, but even among the many planes of existence these astral hunters travel through, it is difficult to find a dragon kingdom like the Golden Empire, a true dragon civilization.

To leave an impression on Caron, Knight Goto spoke up, saying, "Another legendary being, also an extremely powerful being."

“That is the Queen Mother of the Zerg,”

"That was a civilization that evolved from truly social insects, with ants as the main species,"

"The Zerg civilization under the rule of the Queen has even developed to the point where it has enveloped and controlled the sun and moon of that large material plane itself with powerful artifacts, possessing the power to instantly shock the entire world,"

Gao Tuo nodded slightly to Kalon and then said, "As we all know, with a single order from the Dragon Emperor of the Golden Empire, his elite fighting legions can cleave mountains, break them, and cut off rivers and seas. Even the southern kingdoms can be easily annihilated."

"But the insectoid race of that civilization is far more terrifying than that of your country, because the number of those insectoids is hundreds of times greater than the total number of living beings in the entire empire."

"Yet this terrifying Zerg are easily controlled by the Zerg Queen Mother, who regards almost every Zerg as an extension of her tentacles,"

"But even such a powerful civilization, under the leadership of the Zerg Queen, could not stop Lyphonus. Instead, Lyphonus shattered an entire continent from the material plane, sending it into an endless abyss."

"The Zerg Queen was also defeated by Lypunos, and the Lawful Metamorphosis was taken by Lypunos,"

Gao Tuo said with a hint of longing in his eyes, "Lipunos possesses such formidable power. You must know that the basic buffs that the Zerg Queen has in the world she controls are no weaker than the buffs that Her Majesty Gagmora has in her True Dragon Nest!"

"Yet Lipnos was able to move freely among another being of the same level who commanded an endless army, which is truly terrifying."

The biting wind whistled through the gaps between Karon's scales, just like Karon's mood at that moment.

Charon clearly recognized that he was still far from being as powerful as Lipnos.

If Liponos were to come to the world of Ekania, Charon could unite the power of the kings and the empire to gang up on such a being.

However, if they were to go to the world ruled by Lyponus and face him head-on, even Charon at this moment would probably be a fish on a chopping board.

This is no longer an opponent that Charon's advanced wisdom and understanding of the nature of the world can defeat; it is a comprehensive gap in the level of life force.

However, Karon cannot give up on the Silver Dragon Chris, not only because of the relationship between the Silver Dragon Chris and Karon, but also because of the Silver Dragon's actions.

The Astral Hunters present could see the True Dragon Emperor's determination. Even after hearing about Lipnos's formidable power, the emperor's expression showed no fear, but rather he seemed to be contemplating how to defeat him.

Even the knight Gotto felt a sense of awe for this dragon, for it was not only a true emperor but also a true warrior.

"Your Majesty, Gogmora,"

Sheila couldn't help but persuade her, "I've not only heard that you are an exceptionally great emperor, but everything I've seen with my own eyes proves that you are a truly outstanding ruler."

“You possess immense potential and will certainly be able to rival or even surpass Lyponos in strength in the future, but you should remain clear-headed for now,”

“I think even Chris wouldn’t want you to take such a risk for her sake. You should be patient. Lipunos is an existence that even with the combined power of the Empire, we cannot deal with it at the moment.”

Caron stood with his hands behind his back, slightly raising his head, but changed the subject and asked softly, "Speak, you've come all this way without going through so much trouble. To thank you for your help, I will do my best to satisfy you."

Tell me, what kind of reward do you want?
