I will eventually become a god through sheer hard work.

"This is why I held a sacrificial ceremony to come to the Dragon God's side... Sister, do you want freedom?"

Dotia was somewhat lost in thought as she looked at the determined light shining in her younger sister's eyes.

……

Not long after, the two witch sisters stood at the entrance of the cave, gazing at the dragon god that was faintly visible deep inside the cave.

Both of them held a beautiful, silver-white claw in their right hands, each gripped in reverse.

“…Once we take this step, there’s no turning back, Renia, we’re doomed.”

Dotia said, her voice trembling slightly.

Her eyes held three parts fear, three parts excitement, and four parts worry for her sister.

"It's okay, sis."

Renia, on the contrary, appeared quite calm.

She smiled gently at Dotia and said:

"What difference is there between us now and death?"

"Freedom and life, if we do nothing, we will have neither; if we take a chance, we may have both."

Dotia was silent for a moment, then said gently:

"Renia, you've become stronger."

"Let's go and face our destiny."

The two took steps, cautiously and silently, towards the cave, slowly approaching the dragon god who seemed to be in slumber.

Perhaps the Dragon God was truly asleep and hadn't noticed them, or perhaps it had noticed them but didn't care what the two little ants were up to, and therefore showed no intention of opening its eyes.

The two priestesses easily reached the Dragon God's side and clearly heard its steady breathing, which sounded like thunder.

The two sisters, one standing under the dragon god's armpit and the other beside his head, glanced at each other but didn't dare to speak, only nodding quietly.

Then, they raised their silver-white claws and swung them at their gods, unleashing a blade of rebellion against their faith.

Just as they raised their claws high, the dragon, as a race favored by the heavens, received a warning from its powerful instincts, causing it to instantly open its vertical pupils.

However, perhaps it was born with invincible talent, and nothing had ever been able to threaten it. Although the true dragon had sensed the danger, it was a step too slow to react.

"呲-"

Two silvery-white claws pierced directly into its bark and dragon scales, which were many times harder than steel, like a hot knife piercing butter, without encountering any resistance.

Once it pierced the dragon's flesh, the claws seemed to come alive, automatically and continuously penetrating deeper into the flesh.

"Roar--!!!!"

A furious and raging dragon roar resounded through the heavens and earth, causing the entire Water Curtain Cave to shake violently. The eardrums of the two witch sisters were instantly pierced by the sound waves, blood gushing from their ears, and they fainted.

Outside, Xue Jing, sitting on the cliff edge, immediately noticed the commotion.

He heard the rage and pain in the dragon's roar, and his spirits lifted as he realized that Renia had succeeded!

Without any hesitation, he immediately controlled the dragon thunder plant seed that Renia was carrying, causing it to extend dozens of thick golden roots that enveloped and protected Renia.

At the same time, he mobilized his strength, using the power of the whirlwind to propel his legs, and his whole body shot out, stirring up layers of air waves, rushing towards the roaring waterfall.

"puff--"

The water burst open, and Xue Jing entered the cave, taking in the scene before him.

The enormous dragon lay sprawled on the ground, like a fish out of water, rolling around frantically and roaring in agony. Golden lightning bolts shot out from its body, shattering and shattering everything around it.

In front of it stood a sphere formed from golden roots, somewhat damaged by the dragon's lightning.

Besides that, there was a girl who looked very much like Renia, lying unconscious on the ground. Apart from blood oozing from both ears, she was lucky enough to escape the dragon's lightning.

Xue Jing immediately activated his Twin Speed, shooting forward and grabbing the girl on the ground, throwing her towards the golden wooden ball.

He controlled the wooden ball formed from the roots to open a hole, which received the unconscious girl. Then, Xue Jing's right arm ignited with shadow flames, transforming into a giant black armored hand. He grabbed the golden wooden ball and threw it forcefully out of the hole, sending it flying.

With everything ready, Xue Jing's gaze sharpened as he looked at the two irreparable wounds under the armpit and on the head of the rolling dragon.

“Well done, Renia, you have triumphed over your destiny.”

"From now on, leave everything to me."

Xue Jing dodged a golden lightning bolt by sidestepping, took a deep breath, reached into his tactical uniform pocket, pulled out a handful of golden seeds, and scattered them into the air.

Countless golden roots, branches, thorns, vines, and flowers... twisted and turned in the air, densely entwining around him.

In the shadows of the cave, he drew in a dense stream of black energy, which surged onto his body and transformed into raging black flames.

His highly focused mind ignited the flame of life, and a divine silver hue permeated his pupils.

"Then, let's begin," Xue Jing said softly.

"Use all your strength, exhaust your wisdom, and expend all your brute force."

This will be the first time in his life that he has truly given his all and held nothing back in a battle.

"The great feat of slaying the true dragon will surely be accomplished in my hands."

"Ow—"

The true dragon forcibly suppressed the extreme pain within its body, stopped rolling around, and stared at the arrogant ant in front of it with its dark golden vertical pupils.

Golden lightning rolled and flowed all over its body, attempting to annihilate the foreign objects that had penetrated its body. However, the two foreign objects under its armpits and on its head seemed to have grown into its body, remaining motionless and even continuing to penetrate deeper.

It had to use most of its life force and dragon thunder to stop the two foreign objects from penetrating deeper.

Branches and cherry blossoms entwined around the sharp, curved dragon horns, like a laurel wreath on its head, and anger emanated from the dragon's vertical pupils.

"Ow-!!"

Even though it is now in a state of unprecedented weakness, it is still not something that such an insect can provoke.

The dragon thunder erupted, and hundreds and thousands of golden lightning bolts shot out in all directions, with deafening roars.

The spacious Water Curtain Cave exploded open, the cliff walls crumbled, and the entire Roaring Waterfall was engulfed in intense tremors. From the outside, the entire cliff forming the waterfall appeared to be collapsing inwards. Countless golden lightning bolts blasted large holes into the cliff, through which the waterfall flowed backwards into the Water Curtain Cave, soon submerging the area.

Countless golden plants resisted the dragon's lightning, protecting Xue Jing. After the waterfall flooded the cave, Xue Jing stood in the water, his silvery-white divine eyes gazing at this earth-shattering scene, his mind at peace.

He drew his Rabbit-Taming Blade from his waist, and black flames ignited in the water, coiling around the blade.

For some reason, even though he was in the middle of a fierce battlefield, he could feel that the 'breathing' of the Futu Dao was becoming more and more obvious.

This seemed to be some kind of omen, as if something was about to be born from the Futu Blade.

Xue Jing's gaze sharpened, and the Primal True Dragon that had been condensed within his body shattered, splitting into two.

Blood and muscles pulsate simultaneously, one burning and boiling, the other spiraling and compressing, merging into one, thunder and flames converging.

"Black Heavenly Blade - Thunderflame Boiling Cauldron—"

"boom--!!"

Even though it was underwater where sound could hardly travel, a thunderous roar suddenly rang out.

That was not a sound in the physical sense, but a thunderous roar that resounded on a spiritual level.

The pitch-black lightning and flames swirled and intertwined, forming a gigantic black lightning and flame tornado with a diameter of over five meters. It roared forward in the water, engulfing all the water flow on its body and forming an underwater vacuum passage, heading towards the true dragon.

"call--"

Rocks, trees... everything that stood in the way of this Thunderfire Dragon Tornado was instantly shredded into invisible dust upon contact, ultimately striking the true dragon's chest.

The tip of the Thunderfire Tornado was like a drill, constantly rotating and cutting through the dragon's flesh, its scales being broken and pulverized piece by piece.

The powerful lightning-flame blade energy penetrated deep into his flesh, like a meat grinder, scooping out a hole several meters deep in his chest. A large amount of dark golden blood was pumped out, staining the nearby waters.

"Ow-!!"

The true dragon roared in fury, golden lightning flowing across its body, annihilating the lightning and flame dragon's sword energy. With a powerful flap of its wings, it dispersed the surrounding water, creating a vast vacuum zone.

After Xue Jing swung his sword, he was about to give chase when he was blown away by the wings and sent flying backwards out of the roaring waterfall.

Upon reaching the outside world, a thin black plate appeared beneath Xue Jing's feet. Using it as leverage, he stopped his backward flight and prepared to return to the battlefield.

At that moment, he suddenly felt a sense of alarm and instinctively looked at his arm.

There, there were traces of barely perceptible dark gold blood.

"Ok?"

Before he could react, the dark golden blood suddenly seemed to come alive, transforming into a small 'blood dragon' that bit his arm.

In an instant, the life force in his body was absorbed by the blood dragon at a terrifying speed. In the blink of an eye, the blood dragon swelled from the size of a thumb to the size of a human baby.

Xue Jing reacted extremely quickly. The moment he saw the blood, he exerted his strength to shake the blood dragon off. Even so, in that instant, at least one percent of his life force was drained away.

"What a cunning dragon species! Its control over its own attributes is also outstanding... It actually managed to inject its life force into the flowing blood the instant it was injured, thus reviving it..."

The person in the mirror exclaimed in surprise.

Xue Jing swung his sword and cleaved the blood dragon into pieces, his eyes narrowing slightly.

"It's clever, but not clever enough... If I had used this trick at a crucial moment, I might have been in trouble."

"You can't use the same move on me twice."

Black energy ignited into black flames, covering his body and transforming into a magnificent shadow flame armor.

"call out--"

Amidst the collapsed, roaring waterfall, a true dragon soars into the sky.

Although it was currently suffering from the torment of the Serpent Slayer's power and was extremely weak, unable to unleash its previous supersonic speed, it was still incredibly fast and should not be underestimated.

High in the sky, at the very center of the entire border region, the true dragon let out a roar that shook the heavens and the earth.

"Roar--!!"

Dark clouds gathered in the sky, obscuring the sun, and thunder roared, as if the gods were in a rage.

Xue Jing stared directly at the true dragon in the sky, and with a flick of his finger, nearly thirty dragon lightning seeds gathered around him once more.
