Under the Red Dragon.

Chapter 477 Death God's Power, Shadow Dragon

"dragon?"

"Primal Dragon Species?"

The terrifying dragon's voice echoed throughout the dark shadow realm. On Karon's seven heads, the pupils shone like golden lamps, their light piercing hundreds of meters into the depths of the shadow realm.

Almost as if it were a physical entity, its enormous body exuded a terrifying pressure and an ancient and unfamiliar majesty.

But as the dragon's face, hidden in the shadows and darkness, was revealed, the dragon claws that had been descending with unparalleled will and immense power involuntarily restrained their strength slightly.

The runes of spatial laws and order within the bloodline of the first generation of dragons breathed out boundless magical elements, transforming them into infinite power that flowed through the dragon's body and shimmered on its massive claws.

The lightning and flames that had been grasping at the giant dragon claw that pierced through the void, using the essence of spatial opening, positioning, and folding, suddenly changed with a thought from Charon.

That was the supreme authority that the white dragon bloodline could wield among the five-colored dragon species, unleashing its power and might at this moment.

The intense, violent dragon fire, which had melted all things in the world, was extinguished in an instant. The lines of fire that had spread like a spider web in space emitted a chilling aura in milliseconds, turning into a terrifying cold wave that froze everything in all directions, including the shadows of matter.

This terrifyingly low temperature has crossed the absolute zero realm; it comes from the power of laws, and in the process of mutual transformation, even the omnipresent darkness in the shadow realm is easily frozen.

The crackling sounds were incessant, turning the areas swept by the cold wave into a frigid, extreme cold realm.

Charon, as the Emperor of Dragons, although he had abandoned too much pity and mercy, still had a fondness for dragons.

Although the two dragons had vaguely harbored murderous intent towards him, they had not yet taken any concrete action. In Charon's double standards, this was something that could be changed.

At most, we can just beat these two dragons a few more times and give them a lesson in the iron fist of the dragon civilization, and they will be able to repent and have a complete awakening.

Moreover, the path that Karon took to transform into the first generation of dragons was far beyond the limits he could reach. The more unique dragons the Golden Empire added, the more valuable the reference for Karon's path became.

These two dragons with different facial expressions are Shadow Dragons, a type of dragon that currently does not exist in the Golden Empire and only appears in the Underdark and the Dark Shadow Realm.

The Shadow Dragon, a cunning and treacherous dragon, has countless connections with the Shadow Realm. Throughout its life, its scales and body are almost translucent, thus hiding within the Shadow Realm and appearing to the naked eye as a natural shadow.

Even when exposed to Kalon's sight, the color of its scales remained exactly the same as the darkness of the Shadow Realm.

Moreover, whether they are young or older, these original dragon species possess an innate bloodline talent that grants them a spell-like effect of complete concealment in the shadows, allowing them to blend completely into the shadows.

Even spells like Light and Undying Flame have no effect on the Shadow Dragon's bloodline innate power.

Moreover, from these two Shadow Dragons, Kalon had already vaguely sensed a hidden, powerful force lurking within the body of one of the dragons.

This prevented Charon from discovering their lurking presence before. If Charon hadn't revealed his true form as the first dragon with seven heads and ten horns, causing the two lurking dragons to become extremely agitated, Charon might not have been able to detect their existence.

boom,
A powerful aura surged from the body of the shadow dragon with bright eyes, its eyes gleaming with a dark light, like deep red ashes.

Its naturally elegant body tensed up at this moment, and it roared to the sky. A dragon's breath, swirling like a cone and a shadowy smoke, shot up from its long and sharp fangs.

Within this cone-shaped, swirling, smoky dragon's breath, a deep, dark black gem the size of an adult's fist tumbled and floated.

The amplification of the innate energy-absorbing power of the Shadow Dragon's breath caused the soaring dragon breath to suddenly boil, colliding with the first descending spell, Ten Gai·Crazy Annihilation.

The Ten Gai·Chaos Annihilation spell carries the effect of undying energy and possesses extremely powerful sealing abilities. The legendary Titan Delia was sealed by the Shadow Charon with this spell, which sealed all her power and life force. Her life energy continued to transform, gradually strengthening the power of this spell, and she has not been able to break free to this day.

Moreover, now that Charon possesses the three immortalities of energy, spirit, and matter, every time he unleashes his power, whether through magic or physical attacks, he naturally carries the power of these three immeasurable elements.

Any enemy facing Charon who clashes with this first dragon will be at a disadvantage from the outset if they cannot escape the three realms of matter, energy, and spirit.

Even with the dragon treasures it forged itself enhancing its innate bloodline abilities, the powerful Shadow Dragon's soaring cone-shaped smoke-like breath could not withstand the might of the Ten Gai·Chaos Annihilation, which also originated from the power of shadow.

The boiling, dark dragon breath was being drained of power by the shadowy forces that covered all spatial trajectories, and for a moment it even showed signs of collapsing and shattering, while the sealing power suddenly became stronger.

Even the Dragon Pearl, which was floating in the shadowy dragon breath, was faintly falling under the sealing power of the Ten Gai·Chaos Annihilation, and was about to fall.

The other, smaller dragon was just recovering from the shock of the ferocious first dragon's might. It raised its head, bared its fangs, and spewed out a torrent of shadowy dragon breath.

However, although this Shadow Dragon was about the same size as its companions, its strength and talent were far inferior to theirs. Even the power of the Ten Gai·Chaos Annihilation spell could not diminish it much, and the Shadow Dragon breath it spewed out actually enhanced the power of the Kalon spell.

"roar,"

The Shadow Dragon roared furiously, as if enraged, "You think you can defeat me with a single spell? That's impossible!"

"Shadow spirit!"

With a roar, the deep dark shadows that had been gathering around the Shadow Dragon suddenly coalesced on both sides of the howling dragon's body.

Countless shadowy beasts and monsters materialized under the spell of this powerful female Shadow Dragon. These were creatures that the Shadow Dragon had once hunted, now resurrected in shadow form and under its control.

Among them was even a Shadow Dragon that had reached the Ancient Dragon stage, which was now mixed in with the dense tide of ferocious beasts, resurrected in the form of a shadow, and together with all the shadows of the ferocious beasts, it unleashed its former power to bombard the omnipresent spells that were falling down.

The surging power collided, nearly dispelling the darkness of this shadowy realm. The combined might unleashed unprecedented power at this moment.

It actually exceeded the limit that Shi Gai·Dun Mie could transform at this moment, and shattered Kalon's first spell with a bang, crashing into the freezing cold current that spread throughout the space.

A series of cracking sounds rang out as the surging, frigid air currents in the sky froze everything, continuously shattering the combined power and causing both sides to rapidly deplete their strength.

But the terrifying, ferocious dragon claws followed closely behind, their sharp claws growing out like a giant net, carrying the intent to overturn heaven and earth and the ambition to manipulate the universe, as they slashed down at the heads of the two shadowy dragons.

Even though the two Shadow Dragons were nearly thirty meters long, they seemed destined to be captured in the claws of this dragon that covered the heavens and earth and carried the will of the heavens being inferior.

This claw not only carries the power of space, but also the strong gravitational pull of gravity magic, making it almost impossible for the two shadow dragons and countless resurrected shadows to stand. Their bodies swayed and trembled, and they couldn't help but fall into this dragon claw.

This overwhelmingly powerful attack made the mighty Shadow Dragon unable to restrain itself any longer, causing it to change color and reveal its true power.

The surging dragon's might spread far and wide, the aura of ancestral blood blooming at full force, resisting Kalon's will and majesty.

Amidst the Shadow Dragon's roar, an extremely powerful energy surge erupted from its throat, carrying an aura of divine power akin to that of a god favored by the heavens. Within this powerful dragon breath, a colossal dragon skull grew from small to large, inhaling and exhaling the Shadow Dragon's breath, transforming it into immense force that slammed into Charon's dragon claws.

After a brief stalemate, the Shadow Dragon's powerful dragon breath actually extinguished the freezing cold current that permeated the entire space, but it could not harm Kalon's dragon claws.

Suddenly, dense dragon runes and countless ancient runes emerged from Kalon's claws, forming an impenetrable barrier and energy dome between its claws and toes, parting the boiling shadowy dragon breath to both sides.

However, as the enormous dragon skull, whose breath soared into the sky, possessed the characteristic that even Karon could not destroy or break, the power of the Ten Gai Magic Disintegration that instantly erupted from Karon's claws was completely ignored by this dragon skull, which contained endless death aura.

boom,
The collision between the dragon's skull and the True Dragon Emperor's claw unleashed immense power, and a terrifying sound like rolling thunder shook the entire dark area.

In the far reaches of the endless shadow realm, countless dangerous auras were startled by the spreading shockwave, and pairs of eerie eyes turned in this direction.

The collision of the two forces made even a massive dragon like Kalon unable to maintain its balance. Its claws piercing through the air and its skull were simultaneously thrown back out. The two hind claws that had been firmly gripping the spatial rift suddenly bulged with thick muscles, causing the expanded dimensional rift to crack open once more.

"Huh? What is this?!"

Kalon withdrew his hand, feeling his bones, which were as solid as neutron stars, vibrating. He looked down at his hand.

The scales on his claws, harder than those of legendary artifacts, were shattered by the recoil, and strands of dragon blood, flowing with colorful halos, spilled from the broken scales, dispelling the darkness in the shadow realm.

The scales shattered due to the recoil from Kalon's fierce attack, but the flowing dragon blood was burned by the deathly aura contained within the dragon's skull.

That is a power even higher than legendary power, a power born from fundamental rules—divine power.

It was the Shadow Dragon that, with the help of Kalon's immense power, triggered a passive counterattack from the Dragon Skull, causing injury to Kalon, the first dragon.

"Whose skull is that in your hand?"

The remaining six heads of Kalon stared at the still-shaken Ancestral Shadow Dragon. The oppressive light in their eyes made the elegant dragon's long, slender, sickle-like tail taut and straight, like a sharp, dangerous chain spear.

The ancestral Shadow Dragon, Elaine, shook its head, its long, scythe-like horns brimming with shadow power, ready to unleash the Shadow Dragon's innate spell—Shadow Portal.

“You don’t need to know this, but you can honor Him and worship Him,”

Elaine's slender dragon claws held up the dragon skull in her hands, its dark eye sockets facing the first generation of dragons that had forced its way into the Dark Shadow Realm and withstood the pressure of the two planes' boundary with its own flesh.

Even though Elaine knew that this first-generation dragon, the Dragon Emperor of the Aikania Material Plane, was extremely powerful, she never expected that the opponent's two spells would make it so difficult for her to resist.

The confidence and pride of being an ancestral Shadow Dragon have now turned into heart-pounding fear.

Charon's seven heads simultaneously snaked forward, just like a mortal dragon about to launch an attack. Fourteen piercing eyes, filled with cold light, sneered disdainfully, "A coward hiding its head and tail, you think you can make me worship it?"

“Tell me, why are you spying on me?”

Charon's seven heads spoke simultaneously, their dragon-like voices rising and falling eerily, saying in a low, eerie tone, "Give me a real reason, a reason why I won't kill you!"

"You can deceive me, but if I find out, you will all die here!"

The two Shadow Dragons' seemingly indifferent faces froze simultaneously as they slowly retreated into the darkness behind them. No dragon dared to doubt the words of the True Dragon Emperor, not even these two dragons who had lived for many years in the Shadow Realm that intersected with the world of Ekania.

“You are challenging their authority,”

As the ancestral shadow dragon Elaine slowly retreated, she spoke.

"If you were content with merely establishing a dragon civilization in the world of Ekania and uniting the dragons' beliefs, perhaps you wouldn't attract so much attention,"

"But you are now gradually approaching the tolerance of some beings. The empire of creation you have built, the dragon civilization you control, its cohesion and the unification of its ideologies have already possessed the potential to shake many high and mighty beings,"

"In the world of Aikania, even many of the primal, evil dragons now only know the true dragon emperor in the mortal realm, and have forgotten the source of their bloodline,"

The Shadow Dragon, Elaine, said softly, "The more you grow and become stronger, the stronger the Golden Empire will become, and the more attention you and the empire you create will receive in the future."

"Perhaps many beings were busy with other things before, only occasionally paying attention to the movements in the material world, but you should be careful, because in the future their attention may be focused on you from the infinite material world!"

“I am merely a tool of one of these beings. Don’t think that your current achievements and power are enough to make you invincible in the material world. The vastness and mystery of the world far exceed your imagination.”

"Of course I know I am not invincible,"

All seven heads of Kalon spoke in unison, each with a smile on its face, their cold dragon language ringing out.

"Perhaps in the astral plane, I am not even qualified to challenge them now,"

"But here, in the world of Ekania, within the Golden Empire, within the territory I rule, they are the challengers!"

As the undulating dragon-like tones resounded, the darkness of the entire Shadow Realm was illuminated by the captivating light of his eyes, and even the writhing shadow power fluctuated with Karon's breathing.

"Ini, run!"

The ancestral Shadow Dragon, Elaine, roared madly, and a massive amount of elemental magic poured into the dragon skull held in its claws amidst the roar. A faint light began to gradually illuminate the deep eye sockets of the dragon skull.

However, the speed of the first-generation dragon species was faster than the casting speed of this shadow dragon. The dark space rumbled and shook, and thunderous roars of billions of tons exploded at this moment. The rolling sonic booms and shockwaves formed shock waves that spread in all directions.

But that irresistible arrogance, carrying an absolutely domineering will, had already descended, illuminating the entire space with endless flames and lightning.

The ancestral Shadow Dragon Elaine could only watch helplessly as the black curtain of the dragon skull was blocked by the destructive dragon breath spewed from the seven heads of the monster that emerged from the deep red flames that rippled like a terrifying tidal wave.

The 29-meter-long Shadow Dragon, Ini, was easily caught in the claws of that terrifying monster. The huge claws gripped the adult Shadow Dragon's neck and lifted it into the air as if it were a chick.

boom,
Kalon's enormous claws reached empty air; the spot where the ancestral shadow dragon Elaine had stood was now completely bare.

After a moment of silence, Kalon carried the Shadow Dragon named Ini through the rift between planes and returned to his lair.

In the deep darkness of the distance, the last thing Elaine saw was Caron Gogmora's expressionless glance back.
