Under the Red Dragon

Before the birth of the universe, there was only emptiness and chaos, an eternally silent and still realm.

It wasn't until the moment heaven and earth were cleaved open that the world first found its voice.

That first explosion, detonating through chaos and nothingness, echoed through all worlds, bringing both destruction and creation.

The feeling that the Ancestral Red Dragon's strike, carrying its tyrannical and arrogant wild flames across a million miles, gave to all demons and their kin was just like that.

In that instant, it was as if everything between heaven and earth, above and below, in all directions, encompassing space and time, froze simultaneously.

The dragon and the demon locked in combat seemed frozen in place, isolating everything around them from space, silencing the screams of countless demons and dragon kin.

Time didn't slow, but the figures of the Ancestral Red Dragon and the legendary demon appeared as if light was transmitting images from an infinite distance to this world, then overlaying itself onto the hearts and vision of all living beings.

Thump.

The next second,

When the first explosion echoed from a distance beyond time, the creatures on the earth instantly came alive. But what followed was utter destruction.

The earth trembled as if with a heartbeat, the thunderous echoes were like the scythe of the Grim Reaper, chilling to the bone, and unparalleled flames and dust soared into the sky, visible even hundreds of miles away, reaching straight into the clouds.

The lingering echoes of destruction and the terrifying, soul-stirring power were beyond description; only the demons and dragon kin fortunate enough to witness this earth-shattering blow could truly comprehend the depths of despair.

The irresistible waves of destruction, like ripples smoothing out all creases, radiated outward from the epicenter of the Ancestral Red Dragon and the legendary demon Sacreus, pulverizing hills and flattening the earth in their wake.

The demons, like a tide, covered the earth, using their claws and the power granted by the abyss to destroy the entire world. But these demons could no longer fulfill this mission.

Their bodies were so fragile before the lingering echoes of destruction; the demons within several miles of the Ancestral Dragon and the legendary demon had already turned into dust in the first wail of the world.

Their proud bodies shattered, and their souls were utterly pulverized in the waves of destruction, never to return to the embrace of the abyss's chaotic will.

These rolling shockwaves swept across the entire battlefield, blocked and weakened by layers of demon bodies, but even when they reached the city of Valerian across the strait, they still stirred up a gale.

Countless demons jumped into the sea, while the dragon kin warriors had their crimson cloaks whipped about by the fierce wind.

Leggins raised his heavy hammer, the dragon-blooded wolf-kin brandished his greatsword, and hundreds of blood-soaked legionnaires roared in unison: "The Emperor has arrived, our Lord descends, repent, today is the day of your atonement!"

Two Titan Demon Serpents hissed and roared, the golem legions pounded their chests and muttered, and those warriors as tall as mountains teared up, shouting in unison: The Dragon Emperor has finally arrived!

The city began to boil, everyone cheered, magic dragons and flying dragons roamed the sky, roaring with their heads held high.

But the shouts of the crowd were drowned out by the earth-shattering roars and the sound of stars falling and crashing into the earth.

The soaring dust scattered, the Ancestral Red Dragon was repelled high into the sky by the unparalleled impact, but the roaring voice of the legendary demon lord Sacreus came from the ground.

The Ancestral Red Dragon's space-crossing strike directly struck the legendary demon, who had never imagined that a dragon could be a powerful spellcaster, into the ground, breaking through dozens of kilometers of underground layers in the first moment.

The hill where the legendary demon Sacreus stood was now a huge pit several miles in diameter. Thick cracks, like spider webs, spread across the earth, each hundreds of meters deep.

Those demons who had escaped the fate of destruction in the first wave howled and ran and jumped on the earth, trying to escape this battlefield that devoured all living beings.

But Caron had already spread his wings and stood suspended in the air. The Crown of Stars, condensed from stellar projections above his head, began to collapse and fall.

The stellar projections condensed from the seventh-circle high-level spell, although not as powerful and boundless as real stars, still possessed the power of meteorites under the Ancestral Red Dragon's majestic magic output.

Like meteorites falling from the stars in the sky, they roared and crashed into the deep pit in the earth, smashing the roaring roar of the legendary demon Sacreus into intermittent sounds, the muffled roar becoming smaller and smaller, and farther and farther away.

So the waves of destruction began to sweep the earth again.

By the time the Crown of Stars, condensed from the stellar projections in the sky, had dropped its fourteenth star meteorite and dissipated, the voice of the legendary demon Sacreus was almost inaudible.

In this land of magic desolation and gradually fading elements, the magical power demonstrated by the Ancestral Red Dragon was still extremely terrifying.

But Caron stood in the air with his four claws, his huge wings stretched out horizontally, his wild and beautiful body as if stepping on flat ground, overlooking the dark and secluded place in the deep pit that had pierced through the earth's crust of this fragile world, and there was no joy of victory.

Legendary creatures can no longer be regarded as ordinary creatures. Creatures that ascend to legend, whether by innate bloodline or acquired efforts, possess a nature that transcends the mundane in their own lives.

What's more, he was facing a high-level demon who had risen above legend.

Such a demon lord, even if you take out his heart, crush his head, and destroy his body, you may not be able to kill him.

Only by completely annihilating the core of power of this kind of existence, and letting them lose their reliance on this world, can you completely kill them.

And the damage caused by Caron to that legendary demon with two seventh-circle spells, two ninth-circle spells, and the power of his own, although considerable, did not achieve the desired results.

Caron could sense that the aura of that legendary demon had not truly declined, but had become unprecedentedly powerful. Although in the eyes of others, the aura of the legendary demon had dropped to freezing point, as if it had been severely damaged by this blow from the Ancestral Red Dragon.

But the other party's crude hiding skills could not escape the Ancestral Red Dragon, whose magical ability far exceeded his own level.

What a terrifying creature the Ancestral Dragon was, and the evil dragon blood that could tame the Ancestral Dragon, overcome the venom and nature in that bloodline, and use the Ancestral Dragon's talent to specialize in magical knowledge, was a species that had never been born in the world.

Even those dragons known for their love of magic were far inferior to the Ancestral Red Dragon who was now taking spices and evolving with both his brain and sub-brain activated.

In that vast magic library, there was not only the treasure of conventional magic knowledge taught to Caron by the Archmage of the Holy Domain, Lapers, including spells from cantrips to ninth-circle spells.

This is also why Caron still maintains due respect for the Archmage of the Holy Domain, Lapers. Although Lapers and he are in a cooperative relationship, the other party has never been selfish and can be regarded as half of the Ancestral Red Dragon's teacher.

In addition, there is also the vast and misty knowledge treasure trove of the Dragon's Inheritance for Caron to ponder and absorb day and night.

But most importantly, from the Knowledge Fortress, the mad mages of the ancient magic empire left behind super-order magic knowledge that surpassed the lost ninth-circle spells.

Among them, there are many tenth and eleventh-circle spells, and there is even a twelfth-circle spell that the Ancestral Red Dragon still cannot comprehend.

Under this vast accumulation of knowledge, Caron's vision and knowledge have been developed to a level that few creatures can compare to, and the knowledge that Caron has learned has also transformed into the foundation and accumulation of this Ancestral Red Dragon, making him stronger day by day.

Compared to Caron, this legendary demon is powerful enough, even much stronger than the current Ancestral Red Dragon.

But some of his skills in using the power of his bloodline and hiding his aura were full of flaws in Caron's eyes, like fishing with a straight hook, waiting for the Ancestral Red Dragon to take the bait.

This is also the reason why Caron did not take advantage of the victory to pursue. That legendary demon may be waiting in that deep underground abyss for the Ancestral Red Dragon's flaws, so as to give the Red Dragon a fatal blow.

Most importantly, Caron's ninth-circle spell, known by the mages as the 'Indestructible Bulwark', covers every corner of the Ancestral Red Dragon's body, like a natural energy armor but an even more powerful bulwark shield.

It is being broken inch by inch, then torn apart piece by piece, shattered into nothingness, re-transformed into energy, and instantly dissipated in the air of the magic wasteland.

This barrier, known as unbreakable, was also shattered in this earth-shattering blow, reaching the upper limit of its carrying capacity.

But in the dark golden pupils of the Ancestral Red Dragon, the information screen from the instant of the previous confrontation flashed, which was a huge demon shadow, holding up an Evil Eye Sword, and slashing at the horns of the Ancestral Red Dragon's head.

Even with unparalleled speed and the sudden arrival of the plane gate, the trajectory of the attack was captured by this powerful legendary demon.

It was the Evil Eye Sword that cut open a crack in this ninth-circle magic barrier, which was known as unbreakable, that was completely shattered under the immense power.

Sure enough, after Caron gave up the idea of ​​pursuing, under the boundless abyss underground passage, the aura from the legendary demon rose again from the decline, and instantly reached an unprecedented peak.

The aura, like blood energy soaring into the sky, almost condensed into substance, and came from the deep pit hundreds of kilometers underground, with rumbling loud noises.

The legendary demon Sacreus soared into the sky from the ground, and the violent and cruel aura was still rising steadily, forming a huge demon shadow behind him, like a demon king who ruled the plane, with dark and empty black eyes carrying the abyss's unique power of corrosion.

Caron's gaze only slightly touched his deep eye sockets, and he could feel the influence of the chaotic and crazy will from under that chaos.

Like the abilities possessed by most powerful legends, mundane things, before the will of the legend, have no up and down, no left and right, thinking is controlled and stagnant, gradually covering cognition.

"Mind Barrier,"

Caron's claw tips flowed with magical light, and the domain that traveled with him was close to his body, like a layer of natural armor, layered with barriers, and a Mind Barrier protection spell was added under the protection of mental power, completely isolating the influence of that crazy and chaotic will.

"How many years has it been, hundreds of years, or thousands of years, it has been a long time since I have been so badly injured,"

The legendary demon with a huge body showed a cruel and hideous smile on his sheep-like face, and even the curved horns on his head were covered with evil fire, revealing a mouth full of cone-shaped sharp teeth.

His thirty-eight-meter-tall body was burning with the purple evil fire of purgatory, and the body that had been beaten into flesh by the Ancestral Red Dragon and reborn was rapidly becoming strong and tough in the burning of the purple evil fire.

Hundreds of thousands of eyes on the wings spread out behind him blinked at the same time, eerily creepy.

A long sword with ram's horn pommel growing evil eyes was held in the hand of this legendary demon, and the sword body was densely covered with evil eyes filled with the aura of different demon lords.

The newest novel is first published at Six Ninety-Nine Books!

Unlike the eyes growing on the wings of this legendary demon, the eyes inlaid on this Evil Eye Sword are evil eyes that were dug out by different demon lords, and they are also changing with the blinking of the eyes on the wings.

"Red Dragon, you have successfully aroused my anger and awakened my long-dormant fighting anger,", the legendary demon's eyes shot out a vicious gaze, as vicious and violent as the hundreds of evil eyes on his wings and sword.

"I will kill you and inlay your dragon eyes on this God's Calamity Sword,", a vicious laugh sounded at the same time, and the legendary demon grinned: "This is your honor, your body will be transformed into a deep abyss dragon by me and become my mount for conquering the world, a hound that is only loyal to me!"

Caron stood proudly, flaunting his claws and teeth, and the magic furnace in his body was drawing on the wisps of elemental power that still existed in this magic desert to replenish his consumption.

Even the energy overflowing from the dead demons was extracted by Caron's furnace, and the dragon fire from the Ancestral Dragon burned all the abyssal aura mixed in it, restoring it to pure energy, and accumulating it in the magic furnace.

His dark golden pupils scanned the information of the world, and after this legendary demon's power intertwined with the world, he could no longer hide and isolate himself as before, and some information was directly collected by Caron.

The lord born of the most powerful sin in purgatory, challenge level: twenty-two.

It is difficult to measure the specific level and value of power. Even the entry-level apprentices, low-level, intermediate, high-level, and legendary mages, and even the challenge level that Caron sees with detection magic and is displayed in his own habitual information, cannot measure the absolute strength of a life.

But it is undeniable that this legendary demon is the most powerful enemy Caron has encountered so far.

But this also gradually excited the evil dragon blood in the body of this usually low-key Ancestral Red Dragon, causing the leaping pale flames to burn in the calm pupils of the Ancestral Red Dragon, and also causing the pale fire to burn between the scales of the Ancestral Red Dragon.

"You have a lot of ideas, but I hope your strength is harder than your mouth!"

The deep and majestic dragon language sounded, neither high-pitched nor noisy, flat, but enough to make this legendary demon burn with anger.

The small and narrow pupils of the legendary demon Sacreus showed a furious look, his huge wings spread out, and thousands of abyssal evil lights shot out from the dense evil eyes, each of which was many times more powerful than the Soul-Reaping Magic Light of the Balor Flame Demon Lord.

"I will crush you, you damn lizard, arrogant and self-righteous, flying reptile!"

The furious roar remained in place, and the legendary demon lord had already appeared behind the Ancestral Red Dragon. The talent power of the high-level teleportation technique in the hands of the legendary demon was almost effortless, silent, and even the spatial fluctuations were weak and close to zero.

On the enormous Sword of Divine Calamity, the evil eyes blinked, shooting out abyssal death aura rays of corrosion and soul-devouring power. The biting cold edge carried the evil and chaos of breaking through all order, and the raging purple hellfire billowed upon the sword's edge, slashing down towards the ancient red dragon's back.

The very space seemed to fear this Sword of Divine Calamity, as countless pockets of air materialized, torn apart by the bone-chilling blade, leaving a visible rift.

"Roar!"

Even the slightest fluctuation in space would be easily detected by the ancient red dragon. Thus, Kalon somersaulted in the sky, extending his wings, his four claws pointing upwards, and his head raised high, directly facing the legendary demon.

The ancient red dragon's roar carried not only the majesty of a dragon but also a muffled sound akin to a law-based spell of truth, with layers of ancient, arcane voices echoing.

This power, similar to a law-based spell of truth, imbued the ancient red dragon's roar with destructive force. The sound waves surged, colliding with thousands of scattered rays of evil eye light, mutually annihilating each other.

However, the power of the evil eye light originated not only from the legendary demon but also from the bloodlines of various demon lords within the Sword of Divine Calamity. Even the ancient red dragon's law-based truth could not completely extinguish these evil lights.

Therefore, the ancient true dragon blood, inherited within his bloodline, naturally erupted. After becoming immortal, this outstanding offspring of the five-colored dragon god Tiamat instantly activated his innate power.

"Roar, Roar!"

Two roaring voices sounded simultaneously as two more heads grew from either side of the ancient red dragon's head and neck.

The heads born from the power of Tiamat's offspring bloodline were mostly similar to the ancient red dragon's head, but one head grew steel-grey dragon horns, and the other grew horns like the ash of the earth.

The head with steel-grey dragon horns spat out a torrent of intensely frictional metallic particles, each particle surging with sparks and tiny lightning bolts, instantly obliterating dozens of evil lights with this powerful breath.

The head with earth-ash-like dragon horns spewed out a stagnant earth aura. The heavy breath compressed the splashing evil eye light, enveloping these almost intangible rays before surging upwards and rolling away.

Meanwhile, Kalon's original head, amidst the roaring sound waves, spewed out dragon flames so intensely bright that they were almost white, nearly merging with the air itself.

The unparalleled high temperature burned the air in the entire space, causing it to crackle and pop, directly incinerating and melting the incoming evil eye light. The scorching heat surged upwards, blasting towards the falling Sword of Divine Calamity and the legendary demon.

The three powerful breaths of the ancient red dragon collided head-on with the surging hellfire power of the legendary demon Sacreus.

Boom! The four streams of energy collided and burst into intense light. In the shocking, booming explosion, even the space of this world seemed to be shaken by the intense light.

Layers of ripples undulated in the air, like wrinkles squeezed out of space.

Without the support of stable and precise rules, it could not match the stability of the Prime Material Plane.

The clash between the ancient red dragon and the legendary demon almost reached the limit that the space of this world could bear in the first instant.

Clang!

Amidst the intense light, Kalon's steel dragon claws, striking upwards, collided with the Sword of Divine Calamity that had pierced through the dragon's breath. The sound of steel clashing echoed through the heavens, like two divine weapons competing to sever their opponent.

However, the legendary demon's physical strength far exceeded that of a juvenile red dragon, so in the midst of the collision and booming, the legendary demon tumbled into the sky.

The ancient red dragon plummeted towards the earth.

Rumble,

The already battered earth was once again plowed open by the ancient dragon's falling steel body, creating a huge crack extending for several miles.

Drip.

A drop of scorching dragon blood dripped down. Kalon, looking at the Evil Eye Sword that had broken through three layers of personal defense and cut a small notch in his dragon claw, curled his fangs.

"This is more like it!" Kalon raised his head, stomped with his limbs, and soared back into the sky.
