Under the Red Dragon.

Chapter 462 The First Echo in the Universe

"Then let me test you. What abilities do you, a legendary powerhouse who has stood out in hundreds of planes, possess to face the true dragon of the empire in such a manner?"

The thunderous roar of the dragon drowned out all the discussions in the starry sky. The majesty of the ancestral dragon carried the aura of contempt for all living beings at the pinnacle of the mortal realm, making even many legendary powerhouses tremble.

Some legendary powerhouses watched as the enormous ancestral golden dragon, with unparalleled power, pounced down, like a divine mountain pressing down on them. Its overwhelming will was temporarily comparable to that of the super powerhouse, Morro.

Although none of the legendary powerhouses present were ignorant, they all knew the terrifying potential of the ancestral dragon.

The fully evolved ancestral dragons at their peak are absolutely powerful creatures capable of roaming the astral plane and dominating it. They can even stand up to some gods in the astral plane.

However, this golden-scaled king of the Golden Empire is currently only in its youth stage and is far from reaching the edge of its complete form. No matter how great its potential is, it cannot be immediately converted into real and tangible power.

The vast majority of ordinary dragons can only truly rival the power of legendary beings during the era of ancient dragons or prehistoric dragons.

While the ancestral dragons possessed combat abilities that transcended age, the performance and mental fortitude of the ancestral golden dragon Obirash were also hard for many legends to believe.

Because Moro is no ordinary legend.

Legends exist in this world. Once you step into the realm of legend, you build a true cognitive system based on your own understanding of the essence of the world. Then, you transform your own power into legendary rules that go hand in hand with the rules through your own will and beliefs.

This transformation did not happen overnight, but rather occurred in different ways.

In theory, as long as a self-constructed cognitive system can form a self-consistent and perfect set of rules, it can leap to the top of the legend with a strong mental will.

However, among the legends, there are also extraordinary individuals who do not simply build a self-consistent and perfected cognitive system, fully condense and mature their own rules, and then embark on a legendary destiny path based on their own rules within the underlying rules of the plane world and the universe.

Instead, they choose to continue cultivating their own field until they fully master all the rules and regulations within their own domain before attempting to embark on the path of legendary destiny.

Once such a powerful being ascends to the legendary path of destiny and transforms their own rules into one of the cornerstones of the universe's underlying rules, even if the rules they control conflict with the authority of the gods who occupy the thrones of the stars, they can still compete with the gods who hold the relevant divine positions for the dominance of the rules within the stars.

While many legends deliberately avoid the authority of gods who reside in the divine realm in order to ensure their own safe growth, Moro is such a being.

Just by looking at the fact that the legendary chosen one, Yogāra, did not deny it before, one can see how earth-shattering Moro's own strength is.

Even just 30% of Moro's power is enough to make many legendary powerhouses unable to reach his level.

A mighty will, accompanied by magical light, soared into the sky, almost stirring the stars above.

In the starry sky, the elemental energy within a radius of dozens of miles around the super strong Moro was completely extracted by the electric and fire domains that enveloped the heavens and earth from all directions by the golden dragon of the ancestral generation.

Even the struggle for control over a single element left Moro with no chance whatsoever. Obilash possessed the might of the ancestral golden dragon, but he had never truly stepped into the legendary level. He could only forcefully resist the will of a super strong being among the legendary ones by virtue of his own talent and the support of the imperial authority.

However, in a prolonged battle, Obirash would inevitably fall into a disadvantage, so Obirash showed his full strength from the very beginning.

"Spatial barrier, an unbreakable shield!"

With a brief maneuver by Moro, an incomparably powerful flow of magical elemental energy suddenly spread around him, transforming into a towering, arched dome that collided head-on with the ancestral golden dragon's electric and fire domain and breath.

A faint aura emanated from Moro, emanating from another dimension. This was the unique dimension that this super strong man had personally created after leaping to the legendary level. It was the manifestation of his rule system and one of the sources of his reserve power.

Supported by this almost inexhaustible elemental energy, the defense of the unbreakable barrier of space is virtually indestructible.

Moreover, ordinary breaths of electricity and fire could not shake Moro's barrier at all, because his power was enough to separate the power he knew about himself.

The immense power collided in the starry sky, producing bursts of explosive roars that shook the heavens for hundreds of miles. The deafening roar was like a surging, inverted river or sea.

The legends around him wore solemn expressions, but Moorro's face showed a slight look of surprise.

"What kind of power is this? This is not just the power of the ancestral dragons!"

The indestructible spatial dome was not only unable to separate the golden dragon's breath, but the dome, formed by interwoven elemental energies, was also burning rapidly under the dragon fire breath of the ancestral dragon king. The energy within it was also being extracted and transformed in reverse by the dragon fire breath that had been condensed to the extreme.

Although such reverse extraction is like a drop of water to a vast ocean for a legend, Moro's power, being in a high position, did not completely overwhelm the power of this young ancestral dragon.

"Energy is indestructible, it is merely transferred. This is a small understanding and insight of the True Dragon Emperor of the Empire!"

"This is also my understanding of my future path: to control fire, to decompose and smelt!"

Two golden bolts of lightning almost leaped out of Obirash's golden eyes, looking down.

A deep, resounding roar echoed in all directions, carrying a colossal shadow that crashed down. Ancient dragon runes rapidly spread within Obirash's massive claws, transforming into silent, resonant sound waves that caused the entire dome above Moro's head to tremble.

Moro's pupils suddenly dilated; he sensed that his impenetrable defenses might shatter under this attack.

Although no one can clearly know the most fundamental logic behind Moorero's own understanding of the rule system.

However, based on Moro's limited previous actions, many legendary figures speculate that the fundamental logic of the rules Moro created is about space.

Perhaps it's about a certain point or aspect of the rules governing space, or perhaps it's about the space as a whole.

Therefore, in Moro's hands, space was like an extremely docile toy pet. During Moro's brief chanting, a huge portal suddenly appeared in the starry sky.

Above the fan-shaped, blurry portal, the will and power of Moro permeated the area, which was hundreds of meters long. It suddenly opened the moment the ancestral golden dragon Obilash fell, swallowing up the powerful and earth-shaking blow of this ancestral dragon.

That wasn't a portal to Moro's private plane, but rather a demiplane temporarily created by this super-powerful being. It was extremely unstable and could collapse at any moment, but it was enough to temporarily trap the ancestral dragon and neutralize the power of this attack.

But the next moment, not only did the expressions of Moro and the surrounding legends change, but even the cold faces of the Dragon Kings of the Golden Empire who were watching the battle suddenly changed color.

"Why is Obirash so impulsive!" Bronze Dragon Alina exclaimed, somewhat dismayed.

The roar of the ancestral golden dragon actually pierced through the closed door, and a powerful dragon might rose up, carrying a resolute will.

"Energy is indestructible; mind, strength, and body are united as one—proof of the dragon!"

"Collapse, Obirash's, ten trillion electric fires!"

The sunlight in the starry sky dimmed with the dragon's voice, and the space swallowed by the demiplane portal became the only light in this area. The destruction of the space was the price of this light.

Rumble!
Obirash's body appeared in the starry sky, its golden scales bleeding profusely, and golden dragon blood flowing from its mouth and nose. Countless magical runes shone within the dripping golden dragon blood.

All eyes were drawn to that single ray of light. They saw the entire demiplane collapse, shrink, and converge into the massive claw of the ancestral golden dragon, Obirash, along with the extracted light and heat.

This enormous energy was beyond the control of even the ancestral dragons. In the next moment, it transformed into billions of intertwined golden rays of electricity and fire, piercing through space and spreading everywhere like the rays of the sun, bombarding Moro.

"Hey, is it worth it?"

A complex expression appeared on Moro's face. Faced with this powerful attack, he made his choice. His figure slowly dissipated, flickering in the void, and fell into the distance.

"The rise of the Imperial Dragon, the consensus of all true dragons, to reverse the chaotic order of dragons in the world and their inevitable decline, and to establish an unprecedented true dragon civilization—that is also my goal!"

Energy surged within the starry sky, and vast swathes of space had been utterly blasted into a dystopian mess by the ancestral golden dragon, Obirash, who had exhausted all his power and unleashed the full force of his bloodline's spiritual power. Yet Obirash stood firm at the center of this energy storm, refusing to fall.

His golden pupils swept over the many legendary powerhouses who looked wary, and he said, word by word, "No price is too high to bear, and this is the consensus of everyone in the Golden Empire!"

Although the heartbeat of this ancestral golden dragon had weakened to an extremely low level, and its breath had fallen to its deepest trough.

But the words of the Golden King of the Golden Empire, which did not emanate majesty or solemnity through force, evoked indescribable emotions in all the legendary beings.

In the impression of these legendary beings, no matter which plane of existence the dragons are from, no matter how powerful the dragon families were in the past, none of them are as fearsome as the dragons of the Golden Empire.

This is a group of dragons who share the highest and most common beliefs, and they are willing to pay unbelievable prices for this noble belief. For the first time, the ideas of the Gorgmora dragonflight have spread so widely and gained such fame in the astral plane.

"Real dragon!"

"Wan Sheng!"

The shouts of the Golden Empire Legion warriors echoed through the starry sky.

“That’s terrible,” Moore shook his head. “Since I’ve lost, I will fulfill my…”

“You can’t speak for everyone, Moore,”

A dashing young man descended from the sky, his aura as fiery as a burning volcano. However, the robes he wore concealed some of his sharpness, slightly diminishing the intensity in his eyes.

"Landon Rosen?"

Moorro turned his head and frowned slightly.

Although the young man named Landon Rosen before him was not a magician, but a warrior skilled in both magic and martial arts, he had achieved equally outstanding results in both fields, and even Moro could not underestimate him.

Because Landon Rosen is not only physically capable of wrestling with a mature dragon, but also possesses exceptional magical abilities, making him a truly all-around magical warrior.

"The Golden Empire's goals are so grand, why should we let them continue to grow, competing with us and our descendants for the universe's resources?"

Ignoring the cold gazes of the Dragon Kings and Great Dragons of the Golden Empire, Landon Rosen addressed all the legendary beings, proclaiming, "The abhorrent and terrifying nature of dragons is something I need not elaborate upon."

"It's fine for a dragon family with such a belief to remain in the primordial world, but it's absolutely impossible for them to step into the astral plane and disrupt the mainstream trends of the universe."

Landon Rosen sneered, "If you don't eliminate these ambitious alien races before they grow up, are you waiting for them to become powerful in the future?"

"By capturing these dragon kings and great dragons, we can still extract the key to the treasure left behind by the dragon god Aio from their mouths,"

Another powerful figure rose into the air. The legendary being named Byrne raised his arms and shouted, "We, the powerful beings gathered from hundreds of planes, can easily crush these alien species. Once we eliminate these living forces, the Golden Empire will become lambs to the slaughter!"

"No matter how powerful that so-called True Dragon Emperor is, can he withstand our power?"

"At that time, not only will the treasure of the Dragon God Aio be ours, but the wealth of the Golden Empire will also be ours!"

Many legendary figures were convinced by the sudden uproar and began to echo the words of a few prominent figures. This influence grew, people became restless, and discussions arose everywhere.

Many legendary figures began to gather from all directions, eyeing the Golden Empire with covetous intent.

Zygmunt frowned inwardly, but then sighed helplessly, without offering any agreement or rebuttal.

The starry sky trembled, and the legendary Chosen One, Yoga Luo, did not speak, but instead made his move.

This incredibly powerful and legendary chosen one traversed the starry sky, crossing more than ten thousand miles in the blink of an eye. His space-jumping magic operated as instinctively as breathing.

The stars in the vast sky seemed to echo the actions of this legendary chosen one, suddenly descending and falling from an unreachable height with a tail of flames stretching for thousands of miles.

"Summon the Emperor of the Golden Empire!"

The legendary Destiny Yoga Luo stood on the head of the ancient red dragon and said coldly.

Boom,

Caught off guard, hundreds of warships within a radius of the Golden Empire's Star Fleet suddenly flipped and sank, plummeting into the starry sky.

No one expected that this legendary chosen one would directly attack the Golden Empire's fleet, so much so that no one had time to react.

The stars rotate, the world turns upside down, and matter reverses, all within the control of the legendary Destiny Yoga.

The next moment, more than a dozen legendary powerhouses responded to the call of the legendary Destiny Yoga Luo, their powerful legendary will rising up as they launched a fierce attack on the enraged Imperial Dragon King.

……

In the northern continent of the world of Ekania, nestled among the mountains of the Dragon's Nest Mountains of the Golden Empire, in a gradually quieting volcanic lair, Kalon Goggmora has transitioned from a deep slumber to a normal slumber.

The loud heartbeat began to gradually adjust from almost no sound to a normal, active state, but Caron still showed no signs of waking up.

Now, Karon's enormous body no longer exists solely in Ekania's material plane; his seven heads, along with the upper half of his body, have sunk into the spiritual realm, making him utterly terrifying to outsiders.

Much information and knowledge is embedded in the bloodline of this first species, but only a few are truly remarkable.

【Bloodline Solidification - Unlimited Growth】: All aspects of your physical qualities will grow to the maximum extent within the range of your bloodline growth, and your potential will be developed to the maximum extent.

【Bloodline Solidification - Mind Overclocking】: A powerful mind and will allow one to be in an overclocked mode, freely unleashing all power and ability.

[Bloodline Solidification - Devouring Dragon]: Everything has its origin. And these things are the nourishment for your bloodline, the ladder to your power. You are the predator standing at the top!
[Bloodline Solidification - True Dragon Emperor - Our Empire]: To wear the crown, one must bear its weight; power comes from bearing burdens. The empire rests upon your wings. You are the spirit of the empire's true dragon; the empire will never perish, and we will stand alongside you...

Kalon's spirit was also dormant in the spirit realm, ignoring the various pieces of information existing in his bloodline. He simply became increasingly irritable amidst the many restless and seductive murmurs.

The constant murmurs could not penetrate Charon's mind, but they always echoed in the ears of his spiritual will, making it impossible for Charon, who was immersed in the resonance with the entire material plane of Ekania, to remain completely silent.

Until an extremely terrifying tremor struck, instantly awakening Caron's slumbering mind.

The enormous first generation of dragons suddenly raised its seven heads from the spiritual realm, gazing into the distance.

"Roar!"

The roar of the first generation of beings from within the realm of spirits emanated from the Dragon's Nest Mountains, spreading throughout every city of the Golden Empire and reaching the entire continent north of Ekania.

Then, throughout the entire world of Ekania, the roar of the first primordial species, born from countless eras in the mortal realm, began to resound.

"Roar"

This terrifying roar emanated from the world of Ekania and began to spread to every adjacent material plane!
