Dragon Tribulation of All Realms

Chapter 148 The Fall of the Dragon King
That was light, golden light—the radiance of pure gold illuminating all directions, yet releasing not warmth, but majesty and power.

That was a dragon, a golden dragon—its scales were fine and dense, its body long and slender, winding like a giant serpent, while the enormous wings on its back seemed more like decorative ornaments than essential ones.

"That's... His Majesty the Regent?"

"His Majesty the Regent... is he a dragon?"

"Ignorant fools!" The old mage Fluta's rebuke echoed on the high walls. "That's magic, His Majesty's magic. You people simply don't understand the wonders of magic. Your mere dragon-like status barely makes you worthy of even a small fraction of His Majesty's power!"

His eyes burned with fervor, for he had indeed recognized the magic. And as a devout follower of Dust, he longed to one day learn it himself.

Stagnation is only momentary.

As the old mage's rebuke escaped his lips, the golden dragon and the green dragon were already locked in battle once more. Their massive bodies and sharp claws tore and clashed against each other, accompanied by a bloodcurdling scream that also erupted from the high wall.

A blue dragon was slain by a hero of darkness.

The most powerful red dragon was also severely injured by the pair of greatswords, which were second only to the Regent's.

Boom! Another explosion.

The life essence of the aged golden dragon shouldn't have been stronger than that of the ancient green dragon. However, at this moment, Wu Chen's various class bonuses compensated for this discrepancy. Through his behemoth form, he gained 40 racial levels in one go. Even without the temporary correction from the Holy Descendant, he possessed a full level 72, with attribute strength far exceeding that of other dragons at the same level!
Legends versus legends.

With a swift swing of its golden claws, it tore open a small portion of the Corrupted Forest Dragon's carcass. Utilizing its current dragon form, the dragon's martial arts technique erupted rapidly, easily dodging a corrupting breath attack, while a golden torrent of equal magnitude descended.

The golden dragon's breath is a dual breath, primarily composed of golden flames, supplemented by a divine aura that weakens the target's attributes. However, after reaching the legendary realm through its world championship victory, this powerful creature's breath has undergone a remarkable evolution. The already intense and condensed golden flames have now converged into a dazzling light!

'Boom—!!' Dragon breath poured down from the gaping wound. The Corrupted Forest Dragon's cloudy eyes suddenly cleared, and the missed breath turned into a scream.

"This power...this power!"

"Who exactly are you? What are you?!"

Wu Chen did not answer, but continued to exhale. The enhanced martial skill known as 'Immortal Fortress' was silently activated, and while he was exhaling, he was also resisting the dying bites of the Corrupted Forest Dragon.

It only took a few seconds.

Large patches of golden cracks spread across the forest dragon's body, bursting forth with intense light.

Death is close at hand.

The manifestation of death was a massive explosion.

"Kala——"

Like a thunderclap.

The shockwave struck like a wall, making it difficult for both humans and dragons to maintain their footing. At the heart of the explosion was a dazzling, blinding golden light. But the brilliance dissipated in an instant amidst the swirling, scorching winds, leaving behind only the ghastly green skeleton of a giant dragon.

The battlefield froze for a moment.

Just as humans were about to cheer, the remaining dragons of the Corrupt Royal Court immediately tried to flee. However—

'Karakara—'

There is a sound.

Something is growing.

The skeleton, scorched and burned by the golden dragon's breath, collapsed with a crash. Beneath the skeleton, the barren land that should have been burned white by the dragon's fire was now filled with green mud.

The viscous, putrid, dark green mud exuded a sweet, toxic odor.

It boiled, accompanied by the Dragon King's frantic screams.

"You can't kill me! Mortal, monster, you can't kill me!"

Chaos Aura, open.

The surging, four-colored energy tide transformed into a chaotic energy field churning beside the golden dragon. Vast swathes of land were scorched and torn apart by the energy storm, and some of the dark green slurry evaporated. However, in the next instant, the entire forest that had appeared due to the birth of the Corrupted Forest Dragon began to generate large quantities of viscous slurry!
A legendary ability, the kind that Wu Chen was unaware of.

The cone-shaped golden dragon breathed out again, carbonizing thousands of square meters of land once more. However, compared to the ever-expanding dark green forest, this flame could hardly be considered damage. Almost simultaneously, another part of the forest suddenly rose up, and the enormous dragon body, composed of roots, vines, green leaves, and countless decaying verdant flowers releasing a sweet fragrance, once again extended its claws from the sea of ​​trees.

—The Binding Sword.

The concept of the sword was extracted and then refined. After several days of practice in the secret chamber dimension, Wu Chen had mastered this war technique that could still be used even under the dragon's body—as long as enough magic power was poured into a sufficiently profound concept of the sword, then even a dragon body could acquire a suitably sized war weapon.

The golden dragon stretches for a hundred meters, winding and coiling like a snake.

The enormous light blade, forty meters long, was more than enough for him to use his combat skills!
Strengthen martial arts skills and reconstruct stances.

The dragon's body abruptly shifted, turning. The potential of martial arts lies in its ability to activate and unleash its power when the conditions are right, regardless of the size or strangeness of the body.

Enhance your martial arts skills, Champion's Holy Assault.

The vast distance was covered in an instant. The dragon's charge was accompanied by a powerful storm. The corrupting root, which had only grown to more than half its original size, suffered a heavy blow at that moment. And the lightsaber's strike arrived even before the storm!

'嚓——'

The Binding Demon Sword, enhanced by its specialization, possessed the enhancements of a high-level enchanted weapon. The chaotic elemental blades, a mixture of four colors, erupted with a deafening roar the moment they struck the dragon's head. The entire dragon head shattered under this powerful blow, and the surging elemental tides sprayed outwards again, eventually scorching large swathes of the surrounding land.

Flames roared, and the fire burned fiercely.

The destroyed and decaying dragon body collapsed once more.

However, the sound of growth did not stop there; this time, it existed in all directions.

"You can't kill me! You can't beat me!"

A frenzied roar erupted from somewhere in the forest. Wu Chen turned and slashed suddenly. However, the warning came from a completely different direction—he clearly saw a section of the dragon's head being severed and torn apart by his own hand. But at the same moment, corrupting breath sprayed towards its body from the side!

Force field wall, unfold.

The dragon's breath was successfully blocked.

The idle dragon claw immediately launched a super-magic-enhanced version of the Power Throwing Spear.

The newly born corrupted dragon head shattered instantly. Yet, the air above the entire forest still echoed with Vilvetas's shrill, maniacal laughter.

This won't kill it.

Although the exact nature of its legendary abilities is still unclear, Wu Chen estimates that it will not die unless it destroys the entire corrupt, dark green forest.

'Karakara—'

The forest is still growing.

'Karakara—'

The forest is now at the city gates.

Signs of corruption have already appeared at the corners of the great walls and are climbing ever higher!
no solution anymore.

Gale-force super speed boost, energy super enhancement, activated.

Acceleration spells, physical enhancements, and various other buffs were applied to him. Then—

Let's get this going!

A golden dragon began to circle the forest. The most distinctive feature of the golden dragon was its long and slender body, and it flew at high speed around the ever-expanding forest. The moment the first circle was successfully formed, a small storm was stirred up in the center of the forest.

One circle, two circles, three circles.

The small storm transformed into a massive one, forging a tornado-like pillar of dust. The golden dragon's speed increased steadily with the accumulation of inertia. And Vilvetas's maniacal laughter turned into a panicked scream.

"What are you doing! Stop! You're just a mortal, you can't do anything!"

The wind grew stronger, the storm tearing at every individual structure on the earth's surface. Vast swathes of forest were uprooted, and toxic scum was ripped apart and swallowed whole. Even the weaker dragons and the great walls of the Holy Kingdom could no longer maintain their footing in the storm, being dragged along towards its center.

Humans should have been the first targets to be inhaled, because they are so weak.

However, the tide of the Holy Kingdom's willpower recognized them at this moment and pressed an invisible yet gentle force field onto their bodies that were about to be lifted off the ground.

The Regent's benevolence resonated silently in the hearts of every mortal present. In that moment, through the resonance of their shared will, they realized that their lives were owed to the Regent's power. And in the next moment—

The storm was already huge enough.

So……

'hold head high--!'

Dragon breath.

The storm raged fiercely, burning along with the bound, rotten roots.

The enormous dragon shadow struggled, roared, resisted, and howled within the pillar of wind. But in the end, everything ceased under the pure gold light and fire.

This is the death of the Dragon King.
