Under the Red Dragon.

Chapter 567 Dragon-Dog Fight, Unparalleled

Even if Phyllis Tiamat were to disregard her status as the eldest daughter of the immortal dragon god and the associated authority, her mere demigod dragon form and power would be sufficient to rule a material plane world by force.

In the distant past, before the rise of humanoid civilizations, the Primordial Golden Dragon was also able to do the same thing.

The low-level combat tactic of dragon dogfighting originated in the distant, barbaric ancient era, when powerful dragon overlords ruled the endless material plane world and ravaged the races that preyed on living beings.

In those material planes, every dragon overlord was an ancient dragon, a prehistoric dragon, or a primordial dragon lord.

These dragons reign supreme in strength and power, and their only adversary is another equally powerful dragon.

Even the Titans, who once fought and battled with dragons and briefly vied for dominance of the universe.

Only when the ancient dragon lords die one after another after the Dragonfall War, and the number of dragons in the universe decreases significantly, can they seize the opportunity to rise up and compete with the dragon race.

When the dragon race was still the dominant species in the universe, the ancient dragon lords invented the Dragon Lord Challenge—the Battle of Skchit—in order to reduce the bloodshed between them as they fought for world and territorial resources and even for dominion over their dragons.

This was also the challenge that the former ancestral golden dragon, Obirash, had launched against the dragon lord, Goggmora, the then ancestral red dragon, at the founding ceremony of the Golden Empire.

In the ancient subconscious covenant of the dragons, a defeated dragon lord can leave his territory by his own strength, but he cannot take any of the subordinate dragons who are loyal to his rule, nor can he take any resources or wealth with him.

Towards the end of the dragon supremacy, the high-ranking dragon lords and dragon overlords no longer regarded the ordinary dragons under their rule as fellow races with equal dragon rights, but rather as expendable resources.

Thus, the giant dragon dogfight came into being.

When conflicts arise among the dragon overlords vying for territorial sovereignty and world domination, they send out their ordinary dragons for life-or-death battles, abandoning magic and spell traditions, and deciding victory and death solely through physical combat.

Alternatively, one could use the monsters under one's command as pawns in this contest, dispatching a certain number of monster legions to fight to the death in a designated area, with the victor taking all.

The modern dragon race's reverence for physical strength may well be a result of the influence of this ancient, bloody, savage, and violent custom.

In this day and age, low-level combat tactics like dragon dogfights are usually only seen between young dragons, or between young dragons who are not yet strong enough and are evenly matched.

However, the dogfight between a demigod dragon and an ancient golden dragon, which takes place in the mortal world, is still a rare and unusual event even in the eyes of the dragons of Golgmora.

One reason is that neither of the two incredibly powerful dragons had the intention to use powerful spells and magic, lest they cause irreparable destruction and damage to this small dimensional world.

These two dragons also wanted to avoid causing the deaths of other young and weak dragons due to the release of their power.

On the other hand, it is because, at this level of life, the power required to destroy each other's defenses and damage each other's core is certainly not simple.

In layman's terms, it means that a short casting time is required.

Even though the powerful breaths of the two dragons surpassed the magic of many legendary mages, they could only inflict some minor damage on each other in a short period of time.

However, it is difficult to find such a good opportunity to fight when two seemingly equally powerful dragons are locked in a physical battle.

"Get out of here, you five-colored scum!"

"You will die by my claws, but you can die a little later. Don't be ungrateful!"

The appearance of the Primordial Golden Dragon has completely replaced that of the Ancient Golden Dragon Garo Ramsey. The enormous body of this Primordial Golden Dragon has been swelled by the power sublimated from the ashes, and in a short time it has approached the size of Phyllis Tiamat.

The ancient golden dragon's body charged toward the sky, as unstoppable as a volcanic eruption.

Phyllis Tiamat, on the other hand, was locked in a fierce struggle, trying her best to suppress this ancient dragon that had already unleashed all of its future and life.

boom!
The sounds of violent energy collisions and the clash of steel were deafening. Even though neither side intended to use powerful magic or spells, the sheer volume of energy naturally surrounding the two dragons colliding with each other was already a disaster.

Even when the two giant dragons flapped their wings with all their might, they could create a storm that swept across the sky for thousands of meters.

It wasn't the manipulation of any elements or magic, but simply the minor effect caused by the pure physical strength of these two dragons.

Both the dragons on the ground and the dragons in the sky could see that the giant claws of the Primordial Golden Dragon were like hooks and sickles. Every time it left a mark, it tore the air into visible cracks that spread for thousands of meters.

They saw that Phyllis Tiamat's claws were like blades, and with each slash, they completely annihilated the ancient golden dragon's offensive. Even the cracks in the air disappeared instantly under the claws of this powerful female dragon, crushed into nothingness.

This instantaneous collision had already occurred hundreds of times between the two unprecedentedly powerful dragons, like two giant eagles probing and entangled with each other in the air, fighting and killing each other with their claws, wings and fangs, gradually rising into the sky.

They clashed and collided, separating and reuniting in an instant, but the ancient golden dragon body ridden by the Primordial Golden Dragon could never escape the grip of Phyllis Tiamat.

The magical elemental tides in the small dimension, influenced by the innate bloodlines of the two giant dragons, had long since transformed into a storm tornado connecting heaven and earth. With a thunderous roar, it accompanied the dragons as they ascended into the sky, sweeping up the heavens and irrigating the galaxy.

boom,
A dull thud echoed once more from the surging tide of magic, and the two colossal dragons separated again.

Phyllis Tiamat's five long, winding dragon tails were stained with blood. Golden blood flowed down from the female dragon's tails like streams, piercing a huge hole in the torrent of elemental tides.

"Even if you burned away the future and everything of this ancient golden dragon, how could the power you gained ever rival mine?"

The female dragon sneered coldly, "How long can you maintain this level of power? If it weren't for the power of the Bewitching Dragon Pearl, I could have forcibly twisted your head off right now."

"You think you can kill me without showing your true form? You're seriously underestimating me!"

"Even if you were to descend in your true form, you shouldn't utter such arrogant words in front of me!"

"call,"

Endless flames and thunderbolts erupted from the body of this ancient golden dragon, which had five huge bloody holes pierced through its lower abdomen, through which writhing muscles and golden bones could be vaguely seen.

But on the golden dragon's claws, there were also a few scales of Phyllis Tiamat, beautiful scales stained with blood.

The suppression of the Bewitching Dragon Orb, combined with the power of the Primordial Golden Dragon, was indeed enough to give the Ancient Golden Dragon Garo Ramsey the power to contend with demigod dragons in a short period of time.

But to kill a demigod dragon in the mortal realm, one must possess greater power or use a more bizarre method.

Even at the height of his power, the True Dragon Emperor Kalon Gogmora spent countless hours to crush the vitality and will of the Colorful Prince Nur to the depths of despair.

A life imbued with the word "god" will inevitably possess a formidable vitality, no matter how weak its power may be.

"The true form has descended! The true form has descended! Damn it, you all deserve to die!"

The ancient golden dragon roared suddenly, recalling his experience of being forced to leave the world of Ekania.

It was precisely when he ascended to the Primordial Dragon that the legendary chosen ones from the major empires and kingdoms of the Southern Central Plains arrived together and trapped this Primordial Golden Dragon in this small dimensional realm.

Those legendary, destined powerhouses said, "If you don't leave the world of Ekania, then naturally we won't feel comfortable leaving the world of Ekania to search for our future path and pursue our supreme principles and laws in the astral planes and infinite dimensions."

"So, you either leave this world or die in it. The choice is yours!"

The Primordial Golden Dragon was powerful enough, but among humans and humanoid races, there were also beings capable of rivaling it. Moreover, the number of beings of equal rank among those humanoid civilizations far exceeded that of the dragon race.

Even if those legendary chosen ones were the weaker ones of the same rank, they would still be able to kill the Primordial Golden Dragon on the spot if they joined forces.

Not to mention, in the Middle-earth, the Farn Empire and the Luman Empire at that time possessed legendary beings whose destiny even the Primordial Golden Dragon dared not challenge lightly.

The Primordial Golden Dragon even knew that if it weren't for the fact that the powerful beings of those humanoid civilizations were wary of the Dragon God's gaze back then, they might not have been able to survive the hands of those legendary beings destined for heaven.

After all, while the Primordial Dragons wouldn't always be watched over or favored by the Platinum Dragon God Bahamut, both the Platinum Dragon God and the Immortal Dragon God would cast their gaze upon them during the brief period when each Primordial Dragon was born.

This is one of the reasons why almost every Primordial Five-Colored Dragon is recruited from the mortal world by the immortal dragon god Tiamat to serve in the Primordial Dragon Legion in Hell.

Young dragons are insignificant in Tiamat's eyes, but when they reach the stage of ancient dragons, they have the qualifications and potential to challenge the throne and power of the dragon god. That is why the immortal dragon god tries to control all the five ancient dragons.

During the years when the Primordial Golden Dragon left the world of Ekania, even ancient dragons and ancient dragons were extremely rare in the Southern Good Dragon Alliance.

Because the powerful humanoid races that dominated the mainstream of civilization decreed that these powerful dragons of the South, who could not be completely eradicated or disposed of at will, should not be allowed to remain in large numbers.

In fact, the ancient golden dragon Gallo Ramsey and the ancient silver dragon Illum Fuller were just newcomers to the Southern Good Dragon Alliance.

Because of the vast passage of time, the kingdoms and powers in the Central and Southern Continents have changed hands many times, resulting in a decline in their strength and the loss of much of their heritage.

It is because later rulers have long forgotten the agreement made by their predecessors that the existence of ancient dragons and ancient dragons is still preserved in the world of Ekania.

However, the Primordial Golden Dragon still did not return to the world of Ekania, not only because the Primordial Dragon was pursuing its own path to becoming a god, but also because of the power of the humanoid civilization back then.

That's why the Primordial Golden Dragon said that the Five-Colored Dragons shouldn't exist and should compete with the Metal Dragons for the little remaining living space and resources.

Therefore, this ancient golden dragon roared again, almost frantically.

"I don't have much time left, but killing those weak dragons is enough,"

With a thunderous roar, the vast dimensional realm was shaken by the vigorous rise of this ancient golden dragon, and boundless elemental magic surged into the sky along with the ancient dragon.

Phyllis Tiamat bared her fangs and lunged forward again. For this female dragon, the ancient dragon in front of her posed no great threat.

She only needs to wait for the power of the ancient golden dragon Garo Ramsey to burn out, and she can easily resolve all of this.

But the Dragon Emperor has his own core territory, and the Primordial Golden Dragon also has his own core territory. Even though he has been away from the world of Ekania for thousands of years, his ancient and indelible mark still exists here.

"Suppression! Rejection! Exile!"

The ancient golden dragon flapped its enormous wings, roaring with elemental magic that filled the sky. The Bewitching Dragon Orb embedded in its head resonated with the power of the entire small dimension, creating a harmonious symphony.

At this moment, Phyllis felt that all the elemental magic she had so easily plundered from the Southern Sanctuary was now rejecting her.

This place was once the lair of an ancient golden dragon, the most powerful home ground of a giant dragon, which even demigods could not touch.

Even though the powerful sub-artifact within Phyllis Tiamat's body activated again, the female dragon's body had been expelled from the void by the opening in the smaller dimension a split second earlier.

The southern dragons watched with a mixture of horror and excitement as the ancient golden dragon pounced on the silver dragon Chris Tiana and the Gogmora dragons in the sky like a lion hunting a rabbit.

Those Gogmora dragons were outstanding and powerful in the mortal world, but in front of the Primordial Golden Dragon, they were like a mad lion's delicate rabbit, utterly powerless to resist.

Insignificant—that was the immediate feeling the Golgmora dragons had when facing this ancient golden dragon.

It was as if the ancient golden dragon could easily crush all the young dragons present by extending its claws.

However, the terrifying dragon might and rising momentum of the Primordial Golden Dragon made the dragons of Gogmora seem indifferent, causing the silver dragon Chris to sigh slightly.

Among the Gorgmora dragonflight, the first few dragon kings who followed the True Dragon Emperor, and the five dragon kings who grew up and weathered storms with Karon Gorgmora, all bear the power mark of the Gorgmora Emperor.

Those were the family, comrades, partners, and compatriots whom Emperor Gogol Mora always looked after.

Even though Emperor Goggmora didn't have the energy to look after all the dragons in the Goggmora dragonflight, how could the silver dragon Chris, as the emperor's lover and companion, lack the emperor's favor?

It can be said that whenever one walks in the world of Ekania, the silver dragon Chris and the other five-colored dragon kings are always accompanied by Emperor Goggmora.

Chris knew she was Caron's choice, but she also knew that Caron loved her.

That's not something you talk about, it's something you do.

"Boom!"

A grand bell tolled softly, and suddenly the void cracked open amidst the heavy clouds, revealing a massive golden bell that slowly emerged from the void and hung solemnly atop the head of the silver dragon Chris.

This golden bell is enormous, as large as the head of a true dragon emperor.

The sound of its bells was so grand, like the echo of a sacrificial prayer carried back from a distant time and space.

As the bell rang, even the ancient golden dragon soaring into the sky was slowly frozen in mid-air.

The dragons in the sky and on the ground watched helplessly as the body of the Primordial Golden Dragon approached the Silver Dragon Chris little by little, its enormous claws being frozen bit by bit.

The massive golden claws were completely frozen in place just before they were about to touch the silver dragon Chris's cheek.

All that remained was the rage, horror, and disbelief in the ancient golden dragon's vertical pupils.

The unparalleled Dragon Emperor's will descends at this moment.

That was no longer some kind of alchemical magic, but rather a rule that bestows life upon matter through will.

The enormous golden bell instantly twisted and transformed into a huge, ferocious dragon claw. This terrifying claw simply clenched into a fist and gently struck the forehead of the Primordial Golden Dragon, knocking the Bewitching Dragon Pearl out of its hand.

It wasn't that the True Dragon Emperor's attack was more powerful than Phyllis's, but rather that the True Dragon Emperor severed the connection between the Bewitching Dragon Orb and the Ancient Golden Dragon immediately.

The combination of the two into one has been transformed into a one-to-one state of mutual isolation.

Under the three limits of soul, energy, and matter, even the power of the Primordial Golden Dragon to descend from afar was crushed by the True Dragon Emperor with a single claw.

"Age is nothing compared to wisdom."

Silver Dragon Chris chuckled softly, "You must be respectful in front of Karon!"
